one of the biggest waves that the Ravens have been holding themselves back this season so far. How has Greg Romans offensive play calling been through three games of the season? Will the Ravens find other ways to get different receivers involved in the passing game? These and many many more questions on this episode of NFL Questions from Subbs.

Thank you for what you do for this channel. Thank you for what you do for Team Keep It Clean. So I appreciate you. We got some great questions like every single day. Let's do it. The first question came from a boy, John R, and I appreciate you being a patron, John. He said Lamar Jackson has been turning the ball over more than he has in the past. I'm not overly concerned since I believe in his abilities, but it's not every game that Justin Tucker can make a 66-yard field goal. I think it's because they are experimenting and giving Lamar more experience in this more past heavy scheme. The amount of turnovers is still something to keep an eye on. What do you think? Yes, it's definitely concerning. And they cut down on the turnovers, then the points go up. And these games are won by a bigger margin because the turnovers have kept these teams in every game. And they've been just, they've been huge, man. So when you turn the ball over, you leave a potential field goal or potential touchdown. You leave that on the field. It's gone. It's gone. And you can't afford to do that. So good thing for the Ravens so far, it's worked out more than less for them this season because they won more than most of their games this year so far. But you can't keep the turnovers up in the long run. And he said, if it keeps up, then we're going to end up losing games that we should have won. And he said, PS, I will never doubt the Ravens again, LOL. I was one of those in the chat during the game saying that we lost when it was 4-19. I'm admitting I was wrong and I'm happy that I was. It takes a real man to admit that they were wrong. So big ups to you, man. Next question came from a guy, Raven Pride, and I appreciate you being a patron as well. He said, first I'd like to give all thanks to God for allowing me to see another day. Wow, what's going on in Raven? Hope you and the family are well. We're good. He said, man, I'm still wiping the tears of joy from my eyes because JT did something that was so spectacular that it just brought me down to my knees and I cried tears of joy. This kick to me, I believe, is a comfort zone for all the players that are on IAR to help lift him up, to show them that we, as Ravens flock, will continue to fight. Brother, I feel like Mo is just watching over this Ravens team and his strength is why this team cannot be counted out any game, even though we have multiple players on IAR. Thanks for keeping it clean. Love you guys. Yeah, JT, that kick. Yeah, that kick was a 66-yard kick, and it was actually a kick to all them players' butts that are on IAR. Like, hey, it's time. We missing y'all. You know, I don't mind starting and showing out the leg of Tron, the automatic or whatever you want to call me. I don't mind showing out, showing you what I could do. But, hey, y'all come through and let's make this strong team even stronger. Exquestion came from my boy Kevin S, and his title, I don't understand, shaking my head. What's up, Engraven? I really love being a Ravens fan, but it's extra hard looking at bad offensive play calling. Bro, they ran the ball 15 times. 15 times if you take off Lamar Jackson's 7 carries. What I don't understand is why. I don't care about drops. Why did you only run the ball 15 times? All the playoff losses and even losing to the Raiders this year. Look at the rushing attempts on all those games. It's hard to watching Shaquille Neil shoot threes when he's dominant in the paint. I just don't understand. All right. The Lions, if you watch, they were extra prepared for the run. The offensive line was not, they were not creating no big run lanes for the Ravens. Ravens could not run the ball successfully against the Lions consistently. They couldn't. But guess what was working? The pass. The pass was working all game long and then of course you include the drops in there too. If the drops would have been taken out, the pass game would have been even stronger and it would have had a couple more touchdowns added on to it. What my complaint has been with the Ravens is why go away from what's working. You're not going to be able to run the ball every game. You're not going to be able to run the ball at a high level every single game. Some teams, they're going to sell out to stop the run. Okay, Ravens. So make sure you can counter that by being able to pass the ball consistently. They showing that. So I don't understand the complaint here. Next question came from Wanya K. Sidane Ravens. Wanya here like the guy from Boys to Men. What's up my man? Hope everything is good with you in the fam. Love the channel. Appreciate it Wanya. He said, my question for you is, do you think James and Tylon, Tylon Wallace will see the field at all on offense this year? Well, they both already have. James Prochet a little bit more. Tylon Wallace has hardly been out there like at all. But they have both seen the field but not much. Anyway, he said, I know I can't be the only one who thinks this and I know Rashad and Miles and Nick will be coming back. But right now it makes no sense for us to be running the same wide receiver set all game and we can't we can't just keep throwing to the same three people every pass play since our three main targets hands are always up and down as we clearly saw today with the multiple drops. It also makes no sense for them to just be standing on the sideline all game when they can actually help us in the passing game. And I know it's only three games in but we kept James and drafted Tylon for a reason. They can contribute but we're wasting their talent so far by having them be on the sidelines all game. Anyway, sorry for the long post. Just want to get your opinion on this matter and hope that it makes one of your questions from subscribers for the week. Much love family. Keep up the great work. I'm out. And that's a good question. But I think with the Ravens, I guess they feel right because a lot of times when they go empty backfield, it'll be Hollywood, it'll be Sammy Watkins and it may be Devin Duvenay. But what they do too, it'll also be Mark Andrews. And then a lot of times they'll have a running back in the backfield and then they'll send the running back out wide. So in cases like that, it only calls for three wide receivers because you have a Titan in the running back as your other wide receivers.  But with it being early, I'm not going to get three games in again, three games in. I'm not going to get overly concerned about it right now. I do completely understand what you mean. But let's try to see some more consistency from these Ravens. Let's try to see what they do. Let's revisit this. I say like in week five, week six, and see how things are going because with the way that things have been going, they've been successful with it. They've been successful with it. And they sprinkle a little crochet in there, just a little tiny bit with Tylen Wallace. Again, they ain't sprinkling no Tylen Wallace in there. But then of course you got semi-walkings in Hollywood as your main guys. And your main guys are your main guys for a reason because those are the best wide receivers on your team. So you're going to have them out there. But once Rashad Bateman comes back, then Pro Shade, I would expect to see even less of him after maybe one or two weeks when Bateman finally comes back, whenever that's going to be. Even Miles Boykin too. But Miles Boykin and Pro Shade, yeah, Miles Boykin will take away time from Pro Shade too. And it's a good problem to have because the quality of your receivers, all that means just your worst guy is that much better. But so it's hard to fit everybody in the scheme. So once Bateman and Boykin come back, I could see Tylen Wallace being inactive. Yeah, I think he will end up being an eye man now as far as being active on game days. Next question. Well, comment came from my boy Nicholas C. So that ain't great even a dude that said that Lamar Jackson should be traded for Justin Fields has now changed his opinion about RQB1. There's an article that was published on September 24th from Bucky Books saying that Lamar Jackson deserves to be one of the NFL's highest paid players. That's media for you. It ain't no big deal. Some of the guys could be flip floppy. But other ones, some of them just stick with their narrative. And I guess Bucky was like, you know what, this narrative ain't working. Let me hop on a Lamar Jackson train. Next question came from my guy Pedro Emmie said, when do you think Derek Wolf will be back? That's a great question. I have no clue. They said he's dealing with like a back injury. And he's been dealing with it since training camp and has held him out the first three games. But I would say like, I would expect him back within the next two games. The only reason I say that is because they haven't put him on injured reserve yet. Like if they anticipated him missing the first three games, which I don't think they did, I think they've been expecting his back to get better anytime any day now. But if they anticipated him missing the first three games, and they would have put him on IR already. But the fact that they haven't put him on IR, that lets me know that they expect him back at any given time. So we just got to wait it out. Next question came from Tanja. She said, ain't great when how are you in the fam? I had a question about Lamar Jackson for forcing the ball to Hollywood all the time in the end zone. Hollywood seems to make a catch when he is open. However, it irritates me when Lamar throws the Hollywood in coverage. He never comes down with the ball when the player is in the end zone. Shouldn't Lamar throw to any receiver like Andrews or put Tyler in Wallace Day until Bateman comes back? In the cheese game, they beat Hollywood a few times and he is just too small. What are your thoughts? Now, I think she sent this before the game. And then she followed that up. She said, ain't great when funny how I sent my question from subscriber earlier today before the game and Hollywood has proved my point. He is not good in the end zone. Need to give Pro Shade DuVernay and Tyler a chance, make adjustments and maybe Hollywood should have been benched. That's what Mike Tomlin does next man up. Now, I would, um, I would disagree that Hollywood's not good in the end zone. Like, do we remember Lamar Jackson's first passing touchdown of the 2021 season? Who was it to? Where was it at? When did it occur? It was the instirators. Lamar Jackson did all that crazy scrambling and then he somehow zipped the ball into the end zone and found what number was it? One, two, three, four, number five in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. It was him. And we've seen plenty of other times too, when Lamar's like in the Steelers game front, was it last year? 2019, whichever one it was, where he threw to Holly. Yeah, I think it was 2019. He threw the ball to Hollywood in the end zone. Hollywood took a big hit, but came down with it. Touchdown and the ball was thrown. It wasn't a yards after the catch where Hollywood caught it and then ran into the end. No, Hollywood was in the end zone. Lamar threw it to him and he caught it. And there have been other plays like that to Hollywood as well. Like in the Rams game with the Jackson five, where Hollywood was in the end zone and Lamar Jackson threw it to him. It was a touchdown. So again, with Sunday, I know Sunday was frustrating. Sunday was bad. That was like I said, I think it was Hollywood, the worst game that he's had ever as a Raven in his professional career. But I wouldn't go out on a limb and say, Oh, Hollywood is not good in the end zone. It just happened. He dropped the touchdown pass. It was terrible. It was. We know it was terrible. He knows it was terrible. But to go out on a limb and say that, Oh, he's always terrible in the end zone. I can't agree with that. Next question came from a boy click one. He said, engraving hope you doing well in the family safe. Just writing this email to ask about how our defense will finish right now in terms of scoring. I believe we are bottom five and scoring. Granted, we did face the best QB and offenses in the NFL with the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes and also an underrated Raiders offense. But do you think we can make a deep playoff run if the defense continues to play as inconsistent as they are playing right now?  It has been rough. But they just got to clean up a few things here and there. Now one thing I think that happens with them, they get tired. They get gas, they get tired. And the second half so big, like in the first halves, the defenses, they've been making some nice plays. They've been making some nice stops. But the offense with the turnovers and whatnot, it puts the defense in a bad position. And often the offense just got to put up more points too. It goes both ways. Both sides of the ball got to help each other out. But I think one of the biggest things too is a pass rush as well. And again, second half adjustments because teams in the second half, they have been adjusting as far as their offenses versus our defense. They have been adjusting pretty good. I mean, Wink, again, I forget about this all the time in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs, they didn't score any points. So Wink made some great second half adjustments or fourth quarter adjustments there. But the Raiders, of course, we know how that game went, all game and how it ended. And then with the Lions, we were holding it down in the first half.  Okay, we got them. They like blitzing. Let's hit them with them screen passes. And so again, I think the biggest thing is just adjustments. And because we're going up against a lot of really good quarterbacks, like a lot of really good quarterbacks. So that's all I could say. Next question came from Great Ice. He said, greetings and salutations. Now that we are three games in the Lamar's fourth season, which position group is more important to Lamar's success? The offensive line or skilled positions? Seeing the Vegas game and the KC game, I'm starting to believe that if Lamar had a great offensive line with his current weapons, Action Jackson could transcend beyond Patrick Mahomes. Could this be why every dollar counts? EDC acquired Joanne James from Denver, just like our injured guys out. Yeah, it would all be offensive line. Um, because that's nothing happens without an offensive line. Like literally nothing happens. You could have the best of the best at receiver, which I would love to. You could have the best of the best at receiver, but if you can't get them passes off, what good is that? And Lamar Jackson has shown that I will still would love for the Ravens to go crazy with receivers. But with the offensive line, if you can't block, then you can't throw the rock. It's in his true. Um, because offensive line, they play such a big part in Lamar Jackson six, really in any quarterback success. But we've seen with Lamar Jackson, when he has time, he can be deadly man with the receivers that they have.  You still got the guys that are here. Boiler be back soon. It like, and that'll just open stuff up that much more. So if the Ravens offensive line was strong like that. Oh man, Lamar, he will be going crazy, man.  Overall, they have not been good. And it's only three games in. So hopefully they just going through some little growing pains here and there. But hopefully they start clicking. And because, because if they play good, then that'll let Lamar play even better. Next question came from my guy less. He said, Hey, engraving hope all this well with you and the fame. I'm enjoying the videos. There's always equality. The presentation is great. So keep up the good work. Hope that your channel keeps growing as you are that good and deserve the success you have. We are. We ain't that good though. I appreciate it though. He said, after the Lions game, I had to watch your reaction on the live stream fit. How you managed to keep it clean when crazy stuff like JT's on real field go happens. I'll never know. But it's great to see the emotion. So four knees Ravens is one heck of a roller coaster. I love this team and that's in all caps, by the way. Anyway, last season and throughout the off season, much talk was about the Ravens passing game and how it could be improved and how we should adjust the scheme to make us more of a threat in the air. As the three games, how do you see our passing game coming along in reflection, comparing our issues to last season? Do you see any indications of improvement so far in terms of play calling going to still a bit too early in the season to make judgments, especially without yet seeing the the impact the guy like Richard Bateman could have on our plays? Much peace and love. This is a really good question. The passing game, my opinion, it's been coming along really good. Really good. Even when people would say, oh man, all you got to do is make Lamar Jackson pass. That's all you got to do to beat those. Okay, they've made Lamar Jackson fans. They've been doing a great job at it. So what now? So it's been it's been going good. They have been diversifying the plays they have been getting. Well, not all the receivers involved. Just been Hollywood and Sammy Watkins and they sprinkled a little tiny bit of dude when they in there. And that's it. But of course, Mark Andrews did as well. So they're big three have been their big three and it's shown throughout the first three games of the year. But it'll be that much better when they get more of their guys back because again, that can open things up. So I think the passing game been coming along just fine. As far as play calling for the most part so far so good for the most part, there's been a little hiccups in there, little question marks in there. But for the most part, it's been so far so good. They've been going with what's working. The biggest question mark for me came in week one, though. When Tyson Williams when they weren't, they kind of like took him out the game in the second half and they weren't running him. I know he did have the fumble on the sidelines or and but I just that that part I just I didn't like. But other than that, so far overall, it's been so good. Next question came from my god Dylan. He said engraving, hopefully this email finds you well and in good spirits after Legatron hit that 66 yard game winner. He needs his Hall of Fame jacket now. But man, I'm just tired of seeing the Hollywood hate comments after those drops. He's human like the rest of us and has bad days. No one was complaining about that the first two weeks. But anyway, I'm going to get on with my question. Why is Freeman on the roster over Levy on bill? This man didn't do anything in preseason when he was on the Saints and actually fumble against our backups and has only had the one good run in the Chiefs game. Meanwhile, we have Levy on just chilling waiting to be used and quick Super Bowl prediction for this year. I got the Ravens in the Rams with the Ravens sadly losing. But hope you're having a good week and let's go Ravens beat them Broncos. As far as Levy on bill and Devonte Freeman, like he said, why is he on the roster? Yikes. That's rough. Ravens, they had kind of a problem at running back kind of. I think they had a problem at running back in. They were like, Hey, let's get this veteran that used to be one of the best running backs in the league. Let's get this other veteran that used to be one of the best running backs in the league seems as if Levy on Bell is going to get called up soon. Maybe even by the time you see this video because I'm recording this video on Tuesday, September 28th. And the time is 9 59 a.m. 9 59 a.m. So that lets you know. So when you see this, it is probably not going to be on Tuesday, the 28th. But anyway, Levy on Bell will get his time eventually. When they signed Nate McCrary to the practice squad, I was thinking, Oh, could they actually cut Levy on Bell? Could they get rid of him? Because I was like, Nate McCrary is familiar with the Ravens playbook. But somebody in the comments, they reminded me they like, Hey, maybe Ravens are doing this to help with get some of Denver's playbook. And I was like, Ah, I did not think of that because that's it happens.   I'm not snitching plays. I ain't telling no play. Yeah, okay. I like how Sammy Watkins said it. Call me snitch and no snitch, whatever. I'm trying to help my team win. Thank you, Sammy, for being straight up because it's a business.  The Ravens traded you Orlando Brown Jr. There is no loyalty in Orlando Brown Jr. Of course, wanted to be traded and they sent them to a pretty good team. But still, like, nah, man. So with Nate McCrary, that could definitely be a part of Ravens plans. But as far as Devontae Freeman, he was in more football shape than Bell. And again, sometimes how about just be talking? But I think that is actually true. But with Levy on Bell, I'm sure he wasn't like in no crazy shape where it's like, Oh, man, this guy just really can't go right now. I think Levy on Bell, he always took care of himself. That was always one thing about Levy on Bell. He's always in shape. You never heard anything about, Oh, man, Levy on Bell reported the Steelers camp out of shape. You never heard anything like that. So anyway, he'll get his time eventually. Eventually, they've been talking about him a little bit more and more here and there. So kind of makes us feel like, Hey, it could be any day now where he gets that call up. But where would there be room for him? Because they own the active roster, they got Latavius Murray, Devontae Freeman and Tyson Williams. Now, if they activated Levy on Bell, I feel like Devontae would be the odd man out because Tyson ain't going nowhere. Latavius Murray got signed to the active roster from jump. So he ain't going nowhere. And with Devontae Freeman, it could be tricky, man. They could release him and then sign him back to the practice squad after he cleared waivers or whatever. And then promote Levy on Bell and have them sort of switch roles. I mean, we'll see. I don't know what the Ravens are going to do. But if when they do activate Levy on Bell, that would be my guess as to how they will go about doing it. Next question came from going to Walmart. Be right back. He said, Hey, what's up, man? Hope all is well. Quick question. I know I've asked about Justin Tucker being the highest-paid kick in the league and you shot it down. Now, given the fact that this man is still the best in the league, don't you think he could get another payday or at least join the 99 club on Madden? Again, hope all is well. I shot that down before. You sure? I would love to see like what video we said that in. Well, Justin Tucker should not be the highest-paid kick in the league. I would love to see that. But anyway, I think he already is. If he's not, then he's close. But I said it after the game. He deserves another raise after that one, man. He deserves another raise. And Justin Tucker has been, he's been the reason that Ravens have been in so many games since he came to the Ravens. Before LeMaw, during the Flacco years, Justin Tucker was a big reason. Like, because Ravens offense, they would not be moving. They would they move a little bit. They moved just enough for Justin Tucker. And then he kicked a field goal. And that would be it. And he would kick a lot of field goals. Like I said before, I do not, if Justin Tucker was on a lot of other teams, he would not be considered one of the best kickers of all time because he wouldn't get nearly as many opportunities to kick all these field goals. If he was on a team that actually had a good offense over the years, then he definitely wouldn't be considered the best kicker of all time. You still be able to kick now, but he wouldn't be considered the best because those teams would be able to score the ball, score touchdowns more than field goals. So yeah, Justin Tucker, again, I think he is already the highest pay kicker, or he's very, very close to being it. Next question came from Greg from Beemaw. He said, what's up in Graven? I like that Duvenay got to redeem his fumble that luckily got a race from a Lions out of bounds penalty from the punt return on that same drive by ending it with a touchdown catch. In the preseason, though, I was more impressed with Prochet and was hearing more from Prochet than Duvenay at a training camp. I do like Duvenay a lot. And I trust that if the Ravens have him sharing wide receiver three and four roles, likely when Bateman returns. But do you see any real chance without injuries for Prochet to make a real chance of wide receiver on this offense or get more than a few targets, maybe monthly? No. I think Bateman will be the better player later after getting some experience. But currently, now in my opinion, Prochet is better than both him and Duvenay. But I trust the process and the people making the decisions. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks to Graven. I hope you have a wonderful day. No, I don't. I don't really think there's a much of a chance that Prochet gets much playing time. He's already like, think about this right now. He's not out there that much. He's out there a lot more than Tyler Wallace, but Tyler Wallace is not there out there at all. So anybody that's out there is going to be out there more than Tyler Wallace. But with Prochet right now, he's not getting much playing time. He's not getting many passes thrown his way. He's not getting hardly any action. But then once like in Duvenay, he's been out there a lot. But imagine this once they're not only Rashad Bateman comes back, but once their first round draft pick at wide receiver comes back. Because there's a pecking order here. He's a first round wide receiver for the Ravens. He's going to be out there when he comes back. So that'll drop James Prochet down that much further. Miles Boykin, their best blocking wide receiver for a team that runs the ball like the Ravens do. He's going to be out there pecking order. Prochet is going to get dropped down even further. So I do not anticipate a way where Prochet he can end up getting more than a couple catches a month. I just right now, I do not see it. And the last question on this episode of questions from subs came from speed kill. He said I'm sending these stats for you to look at for Lamar Jackson. Since he's made one intention clear through three weeks of the season, he wants to push the ball downfield after three games. Lamar Jackson's average distance of target is a shocking 12.3 yards per attempt per next gen stats. Lamar leads the NFL in distance per target by large margin. 2.6 yards further than the next passer, Josh Allen at 9.7 yards average distance of target. For reference, that's the same distance 2.6 yards per attempt that separates Allen and a 25th ranked passer, Justin Herbert. The record for highest air yards per attempt in an NFL season is dating back to 2016, which is 11.2 yards, which the Sean Watson posted in 2017. Jackson's intended air yards per attempt and Sunday's win over the Lions was an absurd 19.3 yards per attempt. That was a highest single game average distance of target posted since next gen stats started recording this metric. Jackson attempted 12 passes over 20 yards in week three, connecting on five of them, while there were drops or incompletions of accurate passes on an additional four. Jackson currently leaves the NFL in yards per completion. Completed air passes per attempt and is on base to throw for over 4,300 yards through four games, despite only ranking 23rd in attempts. Jalen Hurts is likely to move him to 26 after playing on Money Night Football to conclude week three. Jackson's will to push the ball downfield can be accounted for situationally in a metric that next gen stats called air yards to the sticks. According to next gen stats, air yards to the stick shows the amount of air yards ahead or behind the first down marker on all attempts for a passer. The metric indicates that if the passer is attempting his passes past the first down marker, or if he is relying on his skilled position players to make the yards after the catch. Jackson leaves the NFL in this metric as well, averaging 2.6 yards past the first down marker per throw. Only 10 quarterbacks average throws past the first down marker and Jackson is the only one whose tally starts with a two. While Jackson receivers have yet to bail him out of any questionable decisions pushing the ball downfield, he's continued to consistently push the ball regardless. He's adopted a true gunslinger mentality while displaying poise in the pocket. Jackson's calm regret was on display when the Ravens had their backs against the wall. Most. Jackson's face 3rd and 18th as well as 4th and 19th in this game. The results two completions both well past the line of game for 55 yards and a touchdown. Now which with all these stats that I sent to you look at when this continues and he gets the great passing numbers. What will the media have to say after this? Boom. And yeah, you're certainly right. Lamar has been pushing that ball down the field. I did not know that it was on this level. So thank you for providing those statistics. We all appreciate it. But we've been seeing it that Lamar been pushing this thing and he been showing like, Hey, y'all like, y'all keep talking like what y'all gonna say now?


Somehow the ask the poverty you're like, okay, can we do this? Are we gonna do this whether it be the marketing or the selling it's just not going well in your life You're trying to pitch yourself on a new diet on a new course in life Again a new partner.

Welcome to Toffy TV The World Cup is on in a few days and we're continuing the previews. It is Group D, it is Argentina, Iceland, Croatia and Nigeria. This has got to be the group of death bars. Group D for death. Do you want to do that? Yeah, look on at those teams. Let's see if they've seen it. Yeah, I mean those teams, very, very tricky. Very tricky group to go. On paper you look at it and go, it should be Argentina and probably Croatia. But Iceland, we've seen at the Euros what they can do and Nigeria. We've just seen them play England recently and quite first half they weren't very good, but second half they had a lot of chances and wasted chances really, wasted good counterattacks. You can make a case for most of the teams. You can because there's not one complete team in this. Argentina, they are unbelievable on one end of the path and the other end of the path, they're absolutely terrible. The goalkeeper got injured, the back four is just, you can't put a proper back four together. They're having to rely on Masgrano. I mean he's experienced and he's... He's experienced as the right word. Well he is, he's 33 or 34 now, so he's experienced and can do the role, but this is the highest level and Otamendi is probably the most recognisable centre back. He's okay, but he's not brilliant. He misses me. You know, they've left, furans mor i ar ôn. Barbecue, see. I think defensively they are very good. Obviously offensively they are, but they're going forward. They've got like Shadimadir, he's a fabulous footballer. And then the attacking areas, they've got Messi and Dabale. So they've got players. Aguero, Cunaguero. That's the thing, the problem that they've struggled for in the last few years, I think is that they never really, because they've had so many good attacking players, they've never really set up to accommodate Messi properly. I don't think, no. But recently they've started to do that. I think people forget as well that the last World Cup, Messi was absolutely fantastic. But because he didn't win it, because he was probably worn out by the final, people sort of associate with him now, he never sort of come to the party, but he really did. I think it's all on his shoulders again, but they've got to let him play. And I think recently you've seen that he is, I think he scored a hat a couple of weeks or so ago, and it was only as Haiti. But I think he's getting more and more chances now, and he's laying out how to be a player who is an all-round good player. Do you know what I mean? He's laying out. You look at Ronaldo, Ronaldo is now becoming a player that doesn't, Ronaldo legero round the pitch. He just uses his experience to be in the right place at the right time, like a proper striker. You see that from Messi as well. He doesn't need to go on. He doesn't even have to pick the ball up 30 yards from goal and take everyone on. He's such a good player, he's got so much experience that now he just knows where to be at the right place at the right time. I know he's always had that in his career, but what I mean is that he'll start doing more and more of that and become a little bit less and less and less, but you'll get probably just as much output. I think that's important for Argentina, that other players contribute, and obviously they've got the likes of Di Maria as well on the wing. The abundance of front is unbelievable. The fact that they could leave out a Cardi is just unbelievable. But they need someone else though, this World Cup, they need someone else because in the last few years too much has been placed on his shoulders. I know the players, how many chances are they going to miss in big games? He is the ultimate choker in big games. The last time was the Cup of America in America, where he had three really good chances and then they ended up getting beaten on pens by Chile, and he needs someone just to take that little bit of weight off him. Because also then, because if someone does take the weight off him, he's going to be marked, doubly marked, so he's going to have a little bit more freedom. If Argentina can get that right, listen they've got to do a hell of a lot because you've seen a couple of months ago when they played Spain, Spain put six past them, that showed how bad they are at the back. They've got to ever been eager as well, who's a very good footballer in the field. But the key for them will be at the back, can they get a unit that can defend, get a bit of organisation. That's really what they need to work on because offensively they are very, very good.  And we said we are human beings, footballers. Do you think he has to win the World Cup for people to say he's the greatest ever? Not for me. I think he's the greatest ever, I've never seen Pelé, but Pelé was obviously brilliant at that time. I've seen Maradona, Maradona was incredible, and Messi is incredible, so I don't know about you, how you can properly quantify who is the best. I think Maradona will still be able to do it in this day if he was around. I think he will be able to do more in this day because of the pitches, because of the boots, because of the drug testings. But I think for a lot of people he would have to win it before they would say he was at the very peak of his powers. I think he's a fabulous footballer and he's delivered year after year. That's why I think he's the best after year. He's delivered for 10, 11 years now, every single year. Don't forget Pelé and Maradona and other great players, George Best and Dixie Dean. Other great players didn't have Champions League every year to deliver on. Obviously Maradona came to Europe and played obviously for Barcelona and it was fantastic, but Pelé played South America then North America, so he's done it on some people say he's a bigger stage than the Whale Cup. I don't personally I still think the Whale Cup is the ultimate. See I don't, I love the Whale Cup but the reason why I say this and this is mainly the reason is because the Whale Cup gets played at the end of very tough seasons and I feel like for the last three or four Whale Cups we've not seen the best players at their peak because their peak is normally around February and March. Is that also because the playing against the very best players from every nation? No I just think physically I think you have to be your best and I just think a lot of players I think what I'm saying is you do get players being at the best but what I'm saying is you don't have all the best players playing at the best because I think a lot of them are just Well then that'll make Qatar in system Qatar's getting played in December Let's move on to Iceland Obviously Guilfee, main man This is his big chance Iceland they've got tournaments experience from two years ago, they've really well in the Euros, surprised a lot of people First ever Wellcome I think so yeah Energised a lot of people with their performances and their fans and doing the old clap and all that and people will be looking for them to do that again and I hope they can because there'll be nothing worse that I've detained up for this and just get beaten three times I hope they're going and for us I want Guilfee to have a boss he's had that injury he's coming back for me, he should be fresh it's whether he's match fit he played 25 minutes to the 19 of Friendly scored against Norway and I think they'll have another game probably in between and I want him to have a big World Cup I want him to do well, I want him to come back from the World Cup I always think that if a player gets a chance to play for his country I know other people in the World Cup or in a tournament, I know other people like I don't really want that but I've got to think about for them if a player misses out on a tournament or whatever how mentally what state that's going to leave I want him to have a boss World Cup so he comes back and goes you know what because they'll know their expectations they'll know their limitations they can get out of this group which you know what, it could happen and they've all played well and they've all done as well as they can and they've had those little individual moments then he'll come back buzzing as would any player he's the one they're going to look to obviously they've got the government and he's the kid he's had a very good season of playing he's got a good left foot quick so he's another one he might surprise a few maybe and take the pressure off Guilfee a little bit because oppositions will be looking at it but these are a team now they are a team they're a club side playing in a World Cup they're all together it's a small nation really really small nation great fans they've got brilliant fans they've got a good defensive unit I'm not saying that they won't can ship goals I'm just saying what I'm saying that's their strength they've gone on set pieces they've organised them they've beaten England in the last Euro people were surprised by that but they deserved it on the night what's different about Guilfee when he plays and actually this is what I'd like to see him play for Evan he is a proper number 10 when he plays for these he's just off the striker he really is they go you're our best player everything's going to be around you you get up there don't worry about this end of the pitch you just get up there it's a delight to see him play for Evan it's where I've wanted him to play from the start he's peaky now this is going to be his one and only World Cup but it's going to be the World Cup in his peak with that golden generation of Icelandic players so let's hope they go there and have a real go I'm sure they will and like you said you want them to have a good World Cup so that kicks on to his club form Croatia always got good footballers I've got two of the best centre of my fielders in the world you know one at Barcelona one at Real Madrid but they can just never quite put it together when you look at Croatia look at their players they should be an outside they should be centre of an but they should be because look at the players you just mentioned Maltric in Raketic in Perisic he's a wad he's a pacy he's a great left foot he's a bit hit but he's experienced he's played at some big clubs they've got Kalanic who knows where the net is you know what defensively they've got Lovren he's not brilliant but he's alright what's his name he's played for Manchester City he's getting on a bit but he's a good experienced defender I think what he misses when he played against Brazil he was terrific in possession they just lack a bit of pace and they lack a player off you know up front who's a runner that's what they lack they're really good, they're technical but there's no pace you know that really and when you watch Flassage he's like the prototype Croatian player nice, neat, tidy but they just don't produce players with that to say and I think that's the problem they've got players to open the door they just haven't got players to take advantage of that they've always been like that even back to that one he was absolutely brilliant but he had no pace I don't think they've got anyone off front who's anywhere near as good as that see what, on the ball the great but they want, they craft everyone has to be crafted everyone has to be pass, pass, pass to open that door and I think where teams will expose them is that if they nick the ball they'll be able to break on them really, really quickly that's what Brazil tried to do they nick the ball in their field and then broke on them quickly and I think with the lack of pace at the back they might catch them out they might have to shift deep that's the problem isn't it for them but technically and on paper they've got some fantastic football there's good big names if they had one of those centre forwards they'd be amazing they'd be actually they're just laughing that one, that real one and whether it be a centre forward or a real winger he's a winger but he's not lightning winger he's more of a strong runner obviously he's getting older isn't he he was peak in 14 he was brilliant when you look now and you think if they just had one or a midfielder who had a better pace he could break into the box so a third man run it to go with these two in midfielder it's just something lacking technically they're absolutely fantastic as they play that brings us to Nigeria again they're always in well cups and I don't think they're I don't think they're seen as a strong Nigerian team this time out but like you said before watched them against England the other day and first off they were absolutely terrible I mean I mean terrible they were just so poor but second off they come out they got under the skin of England really quickly and started throwing the ball and with the pace and with the strength hustling winning the ball back pressing high they started to get under the skin of England and you know what actually against someone like Argentina they do that at their defence I mean that's that's if they can get the ball but if they can do that to them they can upset the apple cards in games it's just whether they can upset it enough enough times in games to actually make a difference but they've got they've got pace of me they've got victim ousers who does well for them they've got in the atio off front he hasn't done as well as I thought he would and he went to Leicester because he was he was a goalscorer city but you know he's a threat so when you look at that and you watch them you've got obviously the experience of John Owey McHale in midfield Owey was at the good game actually the weekend so there's players there who are dangerous for them and can cause can cause these teams problems and like you say if you know if you're pushing high up against the likes of against the likes of Argentina or even against Croatia because they're worried about their pace at the back Nigeria can cause them problems yeah what I like about this group is they're all different the teams they've all got different styles they've all got real different styles it's a real like Whale Cup it is like an old school Whale Cup group where you did get different ways of playing I mean Nigeria have also got a galop who people all remember from his spell of Wafford when he had the hot streak and 28 goals in the season and remember having a discussion with Robbie from Arsenal fan TV about how you'd rather have ly cach yw o'r galop and he was like definitely a galop he's great but he's pacey and strong and he went to China for the mula didn't he you know that kind of curtailed his career in Europe but he's another he's another out ball for them and another strength which you know him and the Niatria were both paceys teams under pressure just looking at the fixtures and it's just disappeared on me unprofessional Argentina versus Iceland the first match and then Croatia versus Nigeria that night so well Argentina would be looking to get off to a good start one day possibly Iceland would be looking to catch them cold giving the chills yeah no i mean that it's interesting on that because actually what that mean is the first game with Iceland what you've got is you've got a set unit who know each other's games Argentina I think they might be another team a little bit like France who have to play grow you know get trust cos there's nothing worse than playing for a team where you know one end of the pitch is sorted but the other end can unravel it for you and it's almost like you're waiting for that what you want me to do and you're letting goals in what you want me to do that's going to be the trust element and which is that defence going to allow Argentina to play I agree so who do you think out of this I'm just going to go with the basics and see if there's something Iceland are winning this group they're winning this group and Argentina are coming second don't they see I wouldn't the thing is it's the group where you wouldn't rule anyone out Iceland if they're the strongest as they were at the Euro's team concentration levels they could quite well I reckon they'll win one game and draw two and win the group they could do because there is a tight group it's how much teams are prepared to actually go for it early on these two might feel each other out and end up with a 1-1 or a 0-0 whatever I think whatever happens I think Argentina will scrape through whatever happens I think they'll just get out the group not saying that that means they won't have a good well cup or I do think they'll just scrape through they'll probably win on three games just trying to mix it up just trying to mix it up who do you think that is not your thought on this group and who do you think is going to start battle of the tens isn't it in terms of talent there's not much between them and Guilfee I think he's got better here oh you've got better here arguably he might be a number 10 but it's the battle of these number 10s them too no it's a mess it's a mess let us know your thoughts in the comments thanks for watching toffeeTV make sure to check out all the other well cup previews we'll see you later
