So, I think with this I will currently leave the CI and go to somewhat more technical issues. So, this is what is called second quantization, this is extremely elegant however, note that this word second quantization itself may puzzle you actually, what is second quantization? We have of course talked of one kind of quantization in quantum mechanics that you already know and that is essentially the first quantization if you want to say. So, what we are discussing is actually expressing quantum mechanics in another language. So, the second quantization will not necessarily bring in new physics, but it will actually tell that how these physics of anti-symmetry etc., etc., that we have learned can be written in a simpler way. So, that is what is second quantization. This is a language, but the language makes a simplification. In fact, if you look at the Hamiltonian, the Hamiltonian that we write, it is always written in terms of number of electrons. So, our Hamiltonian has a sum over h of i which is number of electrons, sum over 1 by i is a number of electrons. In the second quantization, when we will write the same Hamiltonian, we will not have explicit dependence on the number of electrons. In the similar way, when we write the wave function for fermions, we have to explicitly write Slater determinant. You will see that in the second quantization, even that is not explicitly required. It is automatic formation. So, these are some of the advantages. So, the two important points are of course in simplification of writing the wave function and expression of the operators. And then we will see how we can write matrix element of an operator between two wave functions. That is Slater rule. Two determinants on each side in the Hamiltonian matrix element. How does that translate in second quantization? The Slater condone rules. We have done this for type 1, 2, 3. Because wave function will have a different language, operator will have a different language. And so the expression of the operator and the wave function will look different from what we have learned so far. So, these two things, the expression of these both wave function and operators will change in the second quantization. And hence of course, Slater condone rules will also look different. And this will actually simplify in doing the algebra. And that is one of the reasons the second quantization is stopped. And we do not have time to re-express all the algebra. But please remember that all that we have done so far, Hartree-Fog, perturbation, CI can be rewritten in terms of second quantization. It will not bring in any new physics, but it will just simplify. And later on, when you go beyond MP2 for example, MP3, MP4, it becomes actually mandatory. Because to do that horrendous expression in the first quantization becomes extremely difficult as you go to higher order perturbation or even when we will do couple clusters. So it is better to use second quantization right from the beginning for many such cases. CI can also be expressed in terms of second quantization. But CI is somewhat easy because it is a linear expansion, it is only an eigenvalue problem. So it was somewhat easy. So that is the introduction to why second quantization is required to be learned. So what we will do is that we will start with the second quantization and as we start we will define two very important operators, two basic operators. One of them is called the creation operator. So let us say some a and this is the way to write this a subscript alpha, some number, alpha can be any number, anything that you want and superscript dagger. So that is called the creation operator. What does this mean? It means that it creates this operator, will create an electron in a spin orbital alpha. So this is the action of the operator. So let us assume that there is something called vacuum, there is a ket vector called vacuum. Vacuum means nothing exists. So it is an abstract concept, nothing exists. Then I allow a alpha dagger to act on the vacuum. What will happen? It will now create an electron in a spin orbital alpha and you will get a one electron state alpha. You will get a one electron state alpha or i, j, whatever is the subscript. This is i, you will get i, is it clear? Vacuum is an abstract concept that it is a ket vector where nothing is there. It is a zero state, null state. I just allow a alpha dagger to act. Then I will create a state alpha. Of course I can have multiple creations. So I can now have another state, another operator a beta dagger which acts on a alpha dagger vacuum. Now obviously this will create a two electron state. It is quite obvious and this will create a state which I now call beta alpha. Now what is important here is to notice that as soon as I create a two electron state I must make sure that this is anti-symmetric. I am talking of electrons. So obviously this beta alpha that it creates is automatically a determinant beta alpha. So I am creating a slater determinant which is automatically anti-symmetric just by having two operators acting one after another. So note that when this operator acts it is not simply creating another electron in beta or beta but at the same time anti-symmetrizing. So that is the job when it goes to many electron problems and so on. So for example if I have some AP dagger acting on already a slater determinant chi 1, chi 2, to chi n which can be a Hartree-Fock, n electron determinant. This will generate a n plus 1 electron determinant where the first orbital will be chi p and then chi 1, chi 2, to chi n. Note again the order of creation. The creation takes place immediately because the order is very important because there is a sign. It is a determinant. So creation takes place immediately. So the order is very important as I told you here when I put beta dagger the creation comes in beta. Quite clearly if I would have created a alpha dagger a beta dagger on a vacuum this would be alpha beta which should be negative of beta alpha by my definition. Please remember these are by definition. This is my definition so there is no question of showing it. So in principle if I have a alpha dagger a beta dagger acting on in general an n particle determinant chi 1, chi 2, to chi n this is negative of minus a beta dagger a alpha dagger acting on the same determinant. Is it clear? Because in one case beta will come first then alpha will come so alpha will become the first column then the beta in this case it will be opposite. So of course they have to have a negative sign change so if I interchange then they will be identical. Is it clear to everybody? Now we know that every wave function can be written as a linear combination of determinants which I call slated determinants SDs which is just slated determinants or any wave function can be written as a combination of slated determinants. Now look at a alpha dagger a beta dagger acting on a general wave function and a beta dagger a alpha dagger acting on a general wave function. Since they are linear combination of determinants and every determinant follows the rule then I can say that a alpha dagger a beta dagger acting on any wave function is negative of a beta dagger a alpha dagger acting on any wave function. Is it clear? Because any wave function is a linear combination of determinants. So in general I can write an equation that a alpha dagger it is an operator equation is equal to minus a beta dagger a alpha dagger operator. Now it does not matter with whom it is acting this I can write only because the operator acting on any wave any arbitrary wave function is going to be negative. So I can write the operators are equal correct. So this gives me a very important rule of anti commutation a alpha dagger a beta dagger is equal to 0 this is called anti commutator. I hope all of you know this that means a b plus b a equal to 0.   So please be careful you know if this is the sign that is used it means it is anti commutator. If this is just this kind of parenthesis it is commutator. Sometimes some of the text books to make sure it writes plus just to make sure that you do not forget that it is anti commutator. So but anyway either way it is okay. The important point to note is that the alpha dagger a beta dagger anti commutator is 0 and this gives us a very nice understanding. Let us now which I have actually not talked about so far what is beta in relation to alpha. Let us assume that the beta is equal to alpha which I have not discussed so far I have assumed that beta is different from alpha but now I can discuss it means that a alpha dagger plus a alpha dagger a alpha dagger is 0 which means the operator a alpha dagger a alpha dagger is 0. It is a null operator in the operator language it is a null operator. What does it mean? It does not give back warp it is a null operator which means if it acts on any function if it acts on any function any determinant not just back warp any function it will give you 0. So the operator is a null operator it is a 0 operator and that is understandable why it is becoming 0 now physically think. If you have if you create one alpha here you cannot create another alpha again because the determinant becomes 0 two columns are 0 a two columns are identical which actually you could have mentioned here itself that the beta has to be different from alpha there cannot be a determinant by this definition alpha alpha correct. So and it is good to know that I did not assume that is good to know that the anticomputation is automatically giving you this you cannot create alpha twice that is the meaning of creation operator is fine but you cannot create a human being twice God has created and now you cannot create a once more right. So you cannot create what is already created by God see if alpha exists a alpha dagger cannot act because if alpha exists that means whatever whatever is there that function I can write as a alpha dagger something correct. So obviously I cannot allow another alpha dagger to act. So that is that is a physical interpretation and that that is a correct interpretation because that could have been actually argued right here I mean you should have seen right here the beta cannot be equal to alpha because if I have an electron in spin orbital alpha I cannot have another electron in spin orbital alpha right and that is the Pauli exclusion principle. So this is actually a statement of Pauli exclusion principle right or this statement of the symmetry itself that the wave function is anti-symmetric I mean it is one and the same thing. We will come back to both discussion of the creation operator but let me now go to the other operator I told you there are two important operators the other operator you will be called annihilation operator it is just opposite to creation operator annihilation operator which will be now written as just a alpha without the dagger what would we do it will annihilate so exactly opposite it annihilates an electron from a spin orbital alpha.  So let us try to analyze this operator we will come to the anti-symmetry anti-computation of this operator as well but let me first analyze this. So let us assume that I have a state chi j that means one electron state where chi j is there and I define a i dagger chi j where i is not equal to j so I get a state which is now called i j note that you know I am not writing chi all the time but that is understandable when I am writing i j it means chi j chi j the superscript is perfectly okay. Now I want to understand what is the adjoint of this state okay so the adjoint of this state is of course going to be chi j a i dagger dagger so let me take this state whatever is the adjoint of this state as a i dagger dagger so let's say I get this chi i now you can see that for this to act here first it has to destroy annihilate because they are already chi i exists if it annihilates of course this will have nothing will be there and I will immediately get this as a zero state null state but without annihilation this cannot act any two electron state will not be able to act. So if you take any state let's say k state so I am just trying to say why is the adjoint of this state called annihilation the annihilation is already defined as a i so I am trying to say that this must first annihilate chi i otherwise it just cannot act this matrix element cannot act. So basically if you look at an i jth state from there I am annihilating an i and I am getting a jth state I am doing the adjoint chi j chi j that is equal to one I will get this only if it can annihilate i so if I have k a equal to i j and I take an annihilation a i k I will get a state j now you know that j j equal to one so if I take an adjoint of this you will see that this is k a i dagger k a i dagger k is the original state and then I have a j which is sorry which is a i k so what is happening is that to get back my chi j chi j I must have to annihilate i then i has to be again recreated and then if I take the matrix element it will become one because this is already k so k is your i j so if you see here i j here you destroy i so I get j then I create i I get again back i j and k k becomes one and this is already equal to one so to get this I have to get this equal to one so why is it equal to one because whenever I am I am constructing either a one particle or a two particle state they are all normalized determinants so this so all the all the electron state one electron two electron all the states are normalized so that is the interpretation why the adjoint of a creation operator is called annihilation operator otherwise it will not even act then we will see the further inside when you look at the anticommutation. So let us now look at a alpha a beta acting on any any state chi one chi two etc so note that if there is a beta it will actually destroy so one of the important property of an annihilation operator is that a alpha acting on vacuum gives you zero just as a alpha dagger acting on a vacuum gives to your alpha state if a alpha acts on a vacuum this is going to give a zero because you cannot annihilate unless it exists so this is a what is called a killer condition it is a condition that we are actually using so how beta act only if there is a beta here if there is a chi beta exists then only otherwise it will become zero so let us assume that there is a chi beta so there are two possibility beta exists in the determinant or it does not exist if it does not exist in the case later a alpha a beta acting on this determinant is anyway zero because I do not have to do anything beta will first act and beta will make zero alpha has no role because as soon as a beta acting on the determinant is zero alpha has no role right so this is already zero if on the other hand beta exists then of course it has to annihilate beta how does it annihilate the rule of annihilation exactly like the rule of creation what was the rule of creation it creates right here so the annihilation can be only done if beta exists right here otherwise it cannot be done so what do you do beta can exist anywhere so you just do a permutation bring beta here by permuting each permutation will require minus one okay so let us say have k permutation required so you get minus one to the power k okay for the permutation and then you bring chi beta here chi one here and so on and then you allow a beta to act now it can actually sweep it off so you get the determinant without the beta chi one etc chi n with a sign which is minus one to the power k so we are now discussing a case where beta exists okay now let me discuss the case of a alpha of course again the same thing will happen a alpha will only act if alpha exists alpha also exists right otherwise again it is zero so let us assume that alpha also exists otherwise they have zero a alpha beta is zero so let us assume that alpha also exists if it exists then what will happen it will again destroy the alpha but to bring the alpha I have to bring it again back here sorry it will act here so let us say there is a chi alpha I have to bring it back here with again some amount of yeah minus one some amount of minus one the question is otherwise you can order even permutation okay so it is let us say minus one to the power k plus l or whatever then what do I do is to allow a beta a alpha to act on the same determinant chi one chi two so somewhere there is a chi beta somewhere there is a chi alpha okay so now first alpha will go then beta will go now what will happen is that in either of these cases there will be one x less sign so only a sign problem and you can actually see that if you take a simple two particle problem much more easily that let us take you can take a simple determinant alpha beta so do a alpha beta so what do you first do you write this as a minus a alpha beta beta alpha okay and then of course you knock out a alpha alpha and then get a zero state minus zero state but then this is not important I mean this could be you know if there are three electrons something will survive but for two electron let us say I have a gamma state alpha beta gamma then gamma will survive here if you do the reverse a beta a alpha then first I have to bring alpha here okay and I get a minus sign and then I again add this I will get again the same minus gamma state yes so one of them has to cross so there will be one odd sign because obviously you know when you do a alpha and a beta and a beta and alpha there will be one negative sign extra okay so the point is that will actually lead to the same commutation as a alpha a beta is zero this can be also derived by the acknowledgement that the a alpha is an adjoint of a alpha dagger because if if a alpha is an adjoint of a alpha dagger then obviously the the operator a alpha dagger a beta dagger is already zero so obviously a alpha a beta will be also zero so that could be another way of proving this but the important point is again to prove that the a alpha beta anti-commutative is also zero and hence if I go back to beta equal to alpha exactly the same way I will have a relation where a alpha a alpha is a null operator right so I will have a alpha a alpha as a null operator what does it mean if I have destroyed alpha once from somewhere I cannot destroy it again just as you cannot create second time you can't annihilate second time right it's a very important physical meaning that I have already destroyed so I can't destroy unless I recreate to recreate there must be a alpha dagger before I allow a alpha to act I am not defined I am saying that I first write this as adjoint then I show that this has to be annihilation otherwise I don't get jj see if this is not annihilation I can't I can't get jj because from the k is ij I destroy i but you are already considering this aik is equal to j I am just saying that the ai dagger dagger is equal to ai that I am not assuming because if you are assume that the dagger is adjoint then there is nothing to prove I am showing that the right that is defined what I am now saying is that the annihilation operator is the adjoint of the creation operator a dagger is a creation operator what is it a dagger a dagger is no I didn't understand yeah they are adjoint of each other it is a necessary condition to that to be an annihilation operator see if I have to define an annihilation operator let's say I would have defined in a different manner it would have I had to prove that this is still adjoint of the creation operator so that is the reason we use a simple symbol where the dagger is good because it is anyway adjoint then we know that a dagger dagger is already a so the symbol symbol is first defined to you then the justification comes with a symbol that I have used this a dagger I have used this a because one is a adjoint of the other now of course you could argue why not this dagger that doesn't matter that is a historical fact that the creation has been put as dagger and the annihilation is a but the point that we are trying to say and I will come back to this discussion tomorrow and I will start there is that this annihilation creation operator whatever symbol you give they have to be adjoint of each other that is the point here and once we prove this then of course the anti-computation is quite trivial from the anti-computation of the creation itself once I prove so either way it is okay but or you can prove it separately by assuming that it is annihilation operator and then also prove it without even thinking whether it is adjoint or not. So this actually gives us and I will come back because there are some people have left today that it gives us two anti-computation relationship which I let me write it down this is equal to 0 and alphabeta equal to 0 okay and I will elaborate on this as I start tomorrow's class okay there is of course a third anti-computation which is even more interesting that is anti-computation between one creation and one annihilation. So what happens to this so out of the two operators one of them is creation one of them is annihilation and this is little bit more complicated this will actually complete all possible anti-computation between creation and annihilation operators and then we will see how to use them in the quantum chemistry but of course it is very clear that in constructing wave function they are extremely powerful and we do not have to bother about anti-symmetrizing that is the most important thing because by definition when I am constructing this is already anti-symmetric by definition the only point is that where in the determinant where the column comes there is a fixed rule so column will be the first column of creation for annihilation the column must exist here so in the case of annihilation you have to do this but even in the case of creation you may have to do it that is not a problem I have just taken two electron states so it is very easy okay to show this that is minus beta alpha and minus alpha beta okay but if I have a long determinant I want to push it back that is a different matter but the creation takes place the creation takes place right in the beginning first okay annihilation also takes place right there so if I have to annihilate first I have to bring this spin orbital of the first column and then I can annihilate so then you require several minus one products of several minus yeah direct developer but what I am saying that it is not developed for quantum chemistry it is developed as a mathematical tool basically it has been used in physics extensively physics extensively it is used and field theory field theory is probably one where the most extensive use that I can recall and quantum chemistry came much later but you will see that it simplifies many things and whatever we have written can be simply written for example Hartree-Fock so the way the Hartree-Fock would be written is just following that by a creation operator so Hartree-Fock wave function determinant chi 1 chi 2 to chi n would be simply a1 dagger a2 dagger blah blah blah a n dagger vacuum over it is very simple okay I do not care and I know exactly what the columns are in the determinant the way I have written right so the so the last column is a n then n minus one the first column is chi 1 first column is chi 1 because it is coming like this so if I interchange any two it become negative and that is actually reflected by the anti-computation anti-computation automatically reflect so I do not have to bother over anti-symmetry as long as I know the anti-symmetry the algebra of anti-symmetry I am going to use I have ensured the anti-symmetry so anti-symmetry need not be explicitly talked about so that is the first thing that I said wave function how are the wave functions written and then later on we will see how the operators can be written operators also have a very nice expression so so here what is important is again explicitly number of the what are the spin orbitals what are the spin orbitals that are there the electrons are really underline okay so these these are again the just like insulated determinant you have spin orbitals so these are also creation of a of a in a particular spin of it but but this is going to become a alpha a beta dagger yeah plus a beta dagger a alpha not so if I take adjoint this is this will actually become a alpha dagger a beta so that is a little different thing you can re-express so the adjoint of this will be a alpha dagger a beta so I have taken alpha see of course you know this could have been beta this could have been alpha the point is that there are two orbitals they may not be different I have not said that there are two spin orbitals one of them alpha one of them beta I will discuss what happens in alpha is not equal to beta when alpha is equal to beta so that that will discuss this is a little bit more complicated it will require a discussion but I will first finish this part again revise this part I think the creation part is very clear very easy so the annihilation part I will discuss okay and then we will see how to represent the operators once you know how to represent the operators we can actually start to do quantum chemistry because you require wave function and operators in second quantization okay again I will do the second quantization in a very simple manner I will not go into much details we will actually tell come back to MP2 and show how to draw diagrams and the diagrams are actually evolution of the second quantization rules the matrix elements this letter condoned rule that we saw talked about so we will actually go back to the diagrams and re-express MP2 also tell you how to MP3 can be could have been done okay.


For most of us, the memories we make and the facts we learn every day don't seem to change who we are in meaningful ways. But in reality, learning and memory continuously alter our brain structure in ways that can actually be measured. How do these changes occur? Scientists at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience and Duke University developed specialized sensors that show how key proteins work together to control tiny structural changes in our brains. Memories are encoded in the trillions of connections made between neurons. These connections, or synapses, are found along the branching dendrites of neurons where information is transferred. Many synapses occur on even more specialized structures called spines, which look like tiny bumps on dendrites. Sustained changes in spine structure are one way the brain stores and retrieves memories. These dynamic changes, collectively known as structural plasticity, often occur in clusters along dendrites, suggesting that spatial rules govern where structural plasticity occurs. One possibility is that biochemical information shared between clustered synapses sets these spatial rules by influencing actin, the protein that gives dendritic spines their shape. The ROGTPA's family proteins, RAC1, ROA, and CDC42, are particularly attractive candidates for carrying such signals because they regulate actin. But how do these proteins work together to control spine structure and thus learning and memory? To answer this question, the researchers first monitored the fluorescent signals emitted by special sensor molecules planted in live brain slices from rodents. These signals showed where and for how long the GTPase proteins were active within neurons. Once the sensors were in place, the scientists coaxed single spines into changing shape by releasing the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate onto individual spines using a laser. This stimulation activated all three GTPases simultaneously, but their activation patterns differed in ways that could explain key features of stimulation-induced changes in spine structure. How far activity spread was one of the most notable differences. While the stimulation-induced activation of RAC1 and ROA spread beyond the stimulated spine to the surrounding dendrite and nearby spines, CDC42 activity was restricted to the stimulated spine. Without spreading of both ROA and RAC1 activation into nearby spines, stimulating one spine could no longer facilitate similar changes in nearby spines. Thus, the partitioning of CDC42 signaling may explain how changes in spine structure can be specific to a single active synapse, while the spreading of ROA and RAC1 activity may explain how stimulation can influence nearby unstimulated synapses. The patterns of GTPase activation may also explain the influence of other molecules on plasticity. For example, while the protein BDNF is known to play an important role in plasticity and learning, the way it can promote but not induce plasticity has remained unclear. The researchers found that BDNF was critical for activating RAC1 and CDC42 but not ROA, or some but not all of the components required for plasticity. However, partial GTPase activation due to BDNF or signal spreading likely makes activation of the remaining components easier. This finding highlights how BDNF-dependent and independent pathways, as well as diffuse and restricted signals, shape stimulation-induced changes in spine structure. Taken together, differences in how the proteins that regulate actin are activated reveal much about the changes in spine structure that allow the brain to store and retrieve memories. Better understanding the signaling pathways that link synaptic activity to structural changes in the brain through proteins like GTPases may aid in the development of therapies for treating memory disorders.


By early 20th century, scientists were finally beginning to get comfortable with the idea that light could behave like a wave as well as a particle. And that's around the same time when another young mind wondered, what if matter also had wave-like properties? Would it be possible that just as radiations of dual nature, matter also has both wave and particle-like properties? And the young scientist who thought of this absolutely revolutionary idea was none other than Louis De Broglie. De Broglie proposed that every moving particle has a wavelength and he called that wavelength a De Broglie wavelength. And the equation for this was given by lambda is equal to h by p, where h is the Planck's constant and p is the particle's momentum. Now though this was just a theoretical proposal, his prediction and the De Broglie equation was confirmed experimentally through Davison-Germain experiment. So let's take a quick peek at the Davison-Germain experiment that helped De Broglie win his Nobel Prize in Physics. So to explain briefly, two scientists named Clinton-Davison and Lester-Germain were experimenting with a beam of electrons and a nickel target. They were basically firing a beam of electrons at a nickel target and observing how the electrons were scattered. But unfortunately, not only did this experiment not work, their equipment was damaged and the nickel target got completely oxidized. So what they did was they tried to remove the oxide layer on the nickel by heating it and then decided to repeat the same experiment with the same sample. Of course now the nickel sample that they used was the heated one. And boom, to their surprise they found that the electrons in this case did not just scatter randomly. Instead, they formed a diffraction pattern just like the light waves did in the Young's double slit experiment that helped scientists prove the wave nature of light. I'm not sure how many of you remember this experiment where light was passed through two narrow slits and instead of getting two single spots, we actually got a wave. So while this proved the wave-like nature of light, something similar was obtained in this case where we bombarded electrons on the nickel target and obtained a similar diffraction pattern. Now this clearly demonstrated the wave-like behavior of electrons. And this was something that had never been observed before with a particle. Now this directly confirmed the De Broglie's prediction that particles like electrons can behave like waves. And the wavelength of the electrons calculated from this diffraction pattern matched the De Broglie wavelength given by the equation lambda is equal to H by P. Now you might wonder, we used the same nickel target in both the cases. How did we obtain a diffraction pattern in the second case? Well, turns out that they did not get a diffraction pattern the first time because a nickel target that was used was made up of many tiny crystals. Basically, it was a polycrystalline material and atom of the nickel sample was oriented in different directions. So when they fired the electron beam onto this nickel sample, the electrons got scattered in all possible directions because the atoms themselves were not arranged in a regular pattern. But when they heated the nickel sample to remove the oxide layer, the atoms on the surface now got enough energy to rearrange themselves and form a single crystal. Because the atoms were now arranged in a regular pattern, the scattered electrons formed a beautiful diffraction pattern. And this diffraction pattern proved the wavelet nature of particles. Now although matter has wavelet properties, we don't really observe it in our everyday life. You see, the things that we see around are so big and macroscopic and they have such large masses that they have a very large momentum because P is equal to MV and according to De Broglie equation, a large momentum would mean a short wavelength. These wavelengths are so short that the wave properties for large objects become almost completely insignificant. And that is why the De Broglie wavelength makes most relevance to subatomic particles like electrons that have very less mass. De Broglie wavelength was extremely significant and laid the cornerstone or foundation for the quantum mechanical model of atom. So let's learn more about the subatomic world in the subsequent videos.


So before we get started, let me start off by saying this, because I get reminders in both a positive and a negative way. So I really, really, really appreciate y'all. We know on here that sometimes the conversations that we have, we can touch on some stuff that is really, are really sensitive topics, especially for Ravens fans, whether it's about this, that, whatever it may be, but I always and will forever appreciate the people that can have respectful conversations, regardless if they agree or they disagree, whatever that stands on is on whatever topic we talk about. I always and will forever always appreciate the people that always keep it respectful. Oftentimes, people having a conversation, we're talking about this, that and a third, whatever it may be. And there are some people that just because they disagree with what you say, they get disrespectful. And it, in my opinion, it's just my opinion. I don't think it should ever come to that. This team, keep it clean. This is a safe space for everybody. It's a safe space for everybody. That was one of our biggest goals when we started this channel, especially when we started a question from subscribers for people to ask normal questions for people to ask crazy questions for people to ask these questions that really make you think and wonder what not for people to just ask whatever it may be about the team about whatever. And this be a safe space for them to have their questions heard. And we talk about it respectfully. I appreciate y'all so much. So without further ado, let's get into this first question from my guy. Shout out to my guy Kevin. He said, what's going on, man? We speak offline, but I think this may be my first question from subscribers. This is a doozy. Yeah, we do talk offline all the time. Kevin and his family, his kids, they are nothing but nice, man. They just amazing family, man. I appreciate y'all everything that y'all have done for me, for my family, how nice y'all have been, how welcoming y'all have been. I think every time we go up there, we end up linking up with this at like this past season, it was at the the what those things called the training camp. Last year was open practice. What's the given for last open practice? I forget, but either way, man, I appreciate you and your whole family. I would never forget. I remember our first open practice. We had got there a little bit late because y'all know we all be always be running on CPT time, but his family, they held it down. They held a spot for me in line in the front of the line to feel like a VIP, baby, but they held it down for me. And they just they looked at ever since, man. They always been willing to help, especially when it came to like the flag football event and stuff. And we'll see what happens with that in the future. But yeah, man, I really appreciate you and your entire family. So after watching some of the premier QB and Y receiver combo combos, and one thing that I noticed is that they benefit often from the 50-50 balls and one-on-ones. It could be a small adjustment that could make a big difference in Raven's offense. He said, this year in particular, Lamar has not been attempting those 50-50 balls too often. And we already know about the overthrown ball. So maybe he just might be second guessing himself. You think so? Think that could be it. He's second guessing himself. Well, second guessing his receiver. Second guessing if they'll make the play on it or not. Second guessing in football is very dangerous, if that's the case. Second guessing is dangerous on offense, on defense, on any position that you play in. Second guessing is dangerous. For a quarterback, they second guess. They could hesitate and be like, ah, well. And then they may throw the ball late, could result in an interception for a defensive player. No, and I feel the worst for them because they second guess, like especially defensive linemen, pass rushes and whatnot, linebackers, anybody who's going for the quarterback, if you're going, you're getting close, close, close. And he still got the ball in his hands. He could throw it away at any given second. And you could try to pull up. But if you second guess, you could end up hurting yourself. More than you would have ended up hurting him or not even hurting him. But you could end up hurting yourself or hurting both of y'all. Really, just from second guessing, because you got to pull up. You got to wonder, man, if I tackle him like this, if I hit him like this, is it going to be a penalty? Is it going to cost my team field position? Is it going to cost them 15 yards and give up a first down? It's like it's so dangerous to second guess in football for so many different reasons. But anyway, he said, we were excited for Duvenay for the contested catchers early this season. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that. I think it was against the Jets, that touchdown. But Duvenay like had the least amount of separation, something like that for a touchdown at that time this year. I don't know if that changed, but yeah, that corner was draped all over. Lamar threw it up, put it up for Duvenay. He got it. He said, we have faith in Pro Shade when he made that contested catch. Some of this year, you're talking about preseason from last year. But Pro Shade, I mean, you said we have faith in Pro Shade when he made that contested catch. I don't even know if the Ravens have faith in Pro Shade, though, because when you think about it, I don't think they do. But anyway, continuing, he said, same for Shamar Bridges, even though the Ravens won't use him. Oh, Shamar Bridges could be another nice change for the Ravens because simply because of where their wide receiving room is at right now. And what I mean when I say that is just it's a lot of little guys in the markets. Robinson, he like, well, he likes 6162, I think. So he the tallest one out of the bunch. But you get to Shamar Bridges out there. He gets a 6-4 guy out there.  Let me throw this jump ball. Let me see what he got. Let me see what he got. And you mentioned that the jump balls earlier, the 50-50 balls, the jump balls, I really think that could be something, a small fix that could take this Ravens offense a long way for the rest of the season and beyond. I mean, it's never really been a big part of their game. Um, recently, uh, it just hasn't. But anyway, he said, with all that being said, do you think our wide receivers get a bad rep because of these lack of opportunities? Um, partially, yes. But I think it's also deeper than that. I just think it's the scheme as a whole. The scheme, Raven scheme, not even a scheme, their philosophy as a whole just has never really brought the most out of wide receivers like that. And that's nothing new. It's old news. Um, so I just think changes to that changes to the way they use that guys changes to, um, the type of passes that they like. Again, like the, the, the fade routes. That's something that they don't be doing.  I think that could just, I think it could go a really, really long way. And I know the season is, it ain't that much time left. Um, Tyler Huntley, we don't know how much longer he going to be starting for. Well, and I mean, even if he starts this week, we'll see. Um, but whether it's Tyler Huntley, when Lamar Jackson comes back when it's him, um, those jump balls, they, they could go a long way, but in order to those jump balls for them to be successful, you gotta have trust. You got to have trust. And in order to have trust, you got to build trust. In order to build trust, you got to give people an opportunity for them to gain your trust. A few of the game is as well. Um, so you can start off small and just work your way. But I mean, time is limited now. Time is limited now. And this is one of the biggest reasons for me, why I talked about throughout the season, why I just wanted there to be more emphasis on the passing game because come playoff time. Hey teams, they, they, you know, Raven's like Ravens could run the ball as we know. And now Ronnie Stanley back. Ooh, ooh, Ravens could really run that ball, which is a beautiful thing. Um, but I just want them to be prepared because playoffs is around the corner, y'all. Playoffs are around. They are literally right around the corner. And I just want this team to be as prepared as they possibly can be, um, for when it's time, when teams be like, Hey, oh, JK, oh, Gus Edwards. No, you're not going off with them. Y'all going to have to beat us another way. And it's going to be important for Ravens to be ready. It's going to be so important for Ravens to be ready. And we want them to be ready, man, because we want them to have that ultimate success, man. Oh, it will be really nice if they make it happen. But we just want them to have that ultimate success. And we want them to be, uh, because a lot of times in playoffs, they've lost for so many different reasons. But a lot of times it's just been a lack of preparation. It's been lack of preparation. Um, so it's been lack of preparation by players. It's been lack of preparation by coaches. They've just been lack of preparation as a whole. Um, and when you're not prepared, that's not a recipe for success. So yeah, if Ravens, they, it's not, it's never too late to, to change stuff for the better. It's never too late to make adjustments in your life that can improve your life, your quality of life and whatnot. It's the same way with football. It's never too late to make adjustments, to make little fixes here and there that could take you a long way. He like automated, automated. Well, that's my home. He ain't that right in Graven, right in Graven. So team keeping clean. Welcome to another episode of question from subs. And to be a part of it, all that stuff is down below in the description. I love y'all. Let's get into this next question that came from my guy DeAndre. He said Lamar's old weapon. Hello and Graven. Hope all is well in the sunshine state. I just had a question that I've been wondering about. A big topic that we've all been worrying about is the wide receiver room and the Ravens ultimately getting Lamar a true number one receiver. We all know Hollywood was Lamar's number one. And we all know that he didn't like the scheme in Roman's play calling. With that being said, my question is, do you see a difference in how we use Hollywood and how the Cardinals are using him?  I don't know. I don't know.  Like if they're on TV, then I'll catch him. But I don't, I haven't gone out of my way to be like, all right, let me catch this Cardinals game. Like if they on like prime time or something when they have been a couple of times, then I'll watch some of it. Actually, you know what? I just watched a little bit of the game that came on last. Like I'm recording this on Tuesday, by the way. I watched a little bit of the Cardinals Patriots game last night. I didn't watch most of it at all. So I watched them sometimes, but sometimes I just don't. But with Hollywood, it's tricky. It's really tricky to say because going into the Cardinals season, I was like, all right, they got Deandre Hopkins. They got Hollywood. They got Ron Delmore. I think they still got AJ Green. Then later on, they end up getting Robbie Anderson. But Deandre Hopkins, he got suspended. Then when he got office suspension, Hollywood had got hurt. He got put on I.R. So and then Calla Murray, now he's hurt and they they just had all these injuries and whatnot. And the injuries just messed up everything that they possibly can. I mean, we Ravens fans, we know from plenty of experience. So I can't really say if he fits better in their scheme or fits better in our scheme. I think that he went there with high hopes and high expectations and I had high hopes and expectations for him over there, too, just simply what was around them. But injuries just it just messed everything up for them as we know from experience. So I can't say whether he's a better fit with their scheme or with the Raven scheme or whatnot. So I just don't know. Next question came from T. Gillard. He said, what's up in Graven? Hope you're in the family doing well. Here I come with another OBJ question with the cow. I said, question, I just said, question, question is what I meant, what's he said with the Cowboys leaking OBJ's injury status then ducking out of the race for OBJ. Would it make sense for the Ravens to seriously make a push for OBJ now knowing that he won't be ready to play for another four weeks? I personally will love this move. I don't think it would help us much for the season. However, I feel like it's a good opportunity to lock up a proven number one receiving for the next few years at a good price. You know how much Ravens love a discount. I also see that's an opportunity for management to show them all that they're trying to put more talent around him. Is this a no brainer or am I missing something here? Thanks for providing us with your amazing content. And like this, I appreciate that, by the way, he said, and like Jerry Jones is in the race for OBJ, I'm out. I don't know that back on junior. I don't necessarily think it's a no brainer. It'd be cool. I don't think it's a move that would really push the Ravens over the top. Healthy OBJ is nice. He's nice. But you don't see it too often. OBJ has dealt with a lot of injuries. I don't think this would be the move that would really show them all. Hey, all right, there you go. We're really trying to put talent around you. Oh, they're back on junior. He's tricky, man. He's like, I don't want to say he's like Sammy Watkins. He's not like Sammy Watkins. He's more explosive than Sammy Watkins. But he is with the similarities just the injuries because where these guys, they have all this crazy potential and they can make plays. You know what they can do, but the injuries just derail everything. And with OBJ, I mean, I know he said that the first ACL surgery he got wasn't a good one. So he got this one, cleaned it up to fix what the problems were from the first one. I don't really think it's necessarily a no brainer. I mean, it couldn't hurt. It could not hurt at all if the Ravens got OBJ. But I just, I don't know. I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't mind it. And to have him for the playoffs, even if he, man, I wish we had Bateman still. But even for Odeo Beckham Junior, I mean, his presence alone, it will command attention. But I wonder how the Ravens will use him. I wonder if he'd be like a, the Sean Jackson, where they got to have him out there for like 10 plays, 10, 12 plays, something like that and have three designed for him. Well, I wonder, because I just, I don't see him being a forego, even in the playoffs this year, whoever he plays for. I don't see him being a forego. I don't see him really having the Odeo Beckham Junior impact that he would if he was fully healthy. But hey, we'll see. We'll see soon. So I wouldn't mind if they signed him. But I just, I would wonder how effective he would really be. Next question came from my god, Mike Reed. He said, engraving here is Mike. Can I read? Been a while for me sending the question, but that hasn't kept me from watching. Hope all is well with you and the fan. Appreciate you, man. With Greg Roman in the last year of his contract, who would you want as the OC to be for Lamar next year? I think the Ravens will pay Lamar. It's hard to find that guy at quarterback. We're not in rebuild mode. Only thing we're lacking is a true number one wide receiver. What do you think about Bobby Petrina Lamar's old college coach as the offensive coordinator? I don't think that he would, I don't think that hardball would hire him. I think he would, he has too much, too much name, too much game to his name, if that makes sense. I just feel like he has too much, not too much person, too much. What's, y'all know what I'm trying to say? Like, if somebody they, like they already known out here, they established, they got a resume that speaks for itself. I just, I feel like he would have too much. What's, I don't know what the phrase or word I'm looking for, but I know there's going to be some of y'all that understand what I'm trying to say. So, I don't think that they would bring Bobby Petrino on as much. I know you got experience with him, but I don't think they would bring him on. As an offensive coordinator, because I would say like Eric Beanie, but Eric Beanie ain't going to take no no, uh, horizontal, what's the word, no, where you don't, um, where you're not elevated by a job, you just take a position that's literally the same thing. I can't, I cannot think right now. This, my mind is just all messed up. I cannot think right now. Um, but who I would, I would want somebody who, because I know Harbaugh gives coordinators, he's like, Hey, y'all do what y'all do. I'm the head coach, but y'all go do y'all thing. I would really love, uh, if the Ravens hired somebody who wasn't a family friend, um, but somebody who they would really like do their thing and really like would put the emphasis continue, the continue emphasis on the run game, but I'll also want to continue emphasis on the passing game, but really open this offense up. And before that, the Ravens would really have to allow them that that would have to be a little adjustment in the philosophy. Um, because that's the biggest thing. That's really the biggest thing. The it's, it's a lot. That's the biggest thing. Um, so if Ravens are willing to do that, then whoever they bring in, like it gotta be somebody who's, if Ravens can change their vision, then the offensive coordinator, not that it won't matter because obviously matters offensive coordinator, but them changing their vision on how they do stuff. That that's the first step. That's really the first step. Um, whoever they bring in offensive coordinator, coordinator right now. I don't think it's nothing much is really going to change, but the Ravens vision has to change in order for there to be a real change. No matter who the offensive coordinator is. Uh, whether it's Greg Roman or somebody else, it starts with the Ravens first and foremost. Patrick Queen ascending. Next question came from my guy, Andre. He said, what's up in Graven? Hope you and your family are doing great. Here's a question from Portugal with the addition of Roquan Smith. Patrick Queen is now showing what he can do, but I'm concerned if he keeps going like this, should we pay them both? Do you think it's possible if this duo keeps playing like this? I don't think, well, anything is possible, but I just, I don't think they were both, especially Patrick Queen keep playing like this. Roquan keep playing like that. I just, I don't think they would pay two linebackers that top linebacker Bunny. Oh man, Patrick Queen been doing his thing now baby. He been doing his thing. So, um, Patrick Queen, you know, like, it's business. Patrick Queen gonna want his money, man. He gonna want to get paid, man. They ain't playing in the NFL for free. So, I mean, I would love for the Ravens keep them together, but I just, I don't see it happening. But anyway, he said, thanks for the awesome content and effort you put on his channel to get Ravens Flock entertained. Love from Portuguese. Hashtag Ravens around the world. Appreciate you, Andre. Add backers. Next question came from my god dad. He said, longtime supporter and subscriber. Appreciate that. With all season fastly approaching, hopefully in February for us. Yes, hopefully. It's time we start having a heart breaking conversation that we could possibly lose Lamar. I hope not. But if so, are you riding with Snoop or looking in free agency or the draft? I think it would be both Snoop and the draft. I think it would be a mix of both and I think they would have like is an open competition between them two. I think they're comfortable. They'll be comfortable with riding with Snoop. He'd be a cheaper option he's somebody that's already here. And while they, but I think they would look at him sort of as a bridge. As a bridge from Lamar to Snoop to whoever the next guy is going to be that they end up drafting. He said, also with the money being freed up, are you focusing on keeping Roquan and PQ together? That chemistry is crazy. Even Steelers fans was complimenting them. Well, y'all know how I feel about that. Hopefully they can, but I just think business will be business. Next question came from my guy Juan. He said, if you had complete power of the Ravens, let's pretend for a moment that you were the owner and GM of the Baltimore Ravens and had complete control and power of the organization. What would you do? Number one, what changes would you make at head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, if any at all? If so, who would you hire at the three positions? Like I told you all before, I would have a sit down with hardball and after the season, hopefully it will be after we won a Super Bowl. So, okay, hardball, cool. But we got to make some changes. But if it wasn't after a Super Bowl, I'd say, all right, hardball, cool. Thanks for everything. But look, I know these players love you. They absolutely love you. I love you.  But the direction of this team has got to change. It's got to change definitely because I don't feel like this team is being taken as far. And I don't feel like this team is as powerful as they can possibly be. Are you going to make those changes? If he was cool, if he wasn't, then I would tell him, thank you for everything that you've done for this organization since 2008. But I think we're going to go in a different direction. Now, if hardball stayed okay, cool and change, if he didn't, okay, I'll probably try like Eric B enemy or go try him. He been floating around with the Chiefs for the longest at that OC. I know Andy Reed do a lot of the play calling stuff too. But Eric B enemy is part of that. So, and I like what they do with the offense. I could look for somebody from the Kyle Shanahan Tree just the way that their offense is designed with how it just it maximizes that yak and it makes playmakers out of like everybody. Everybody's a playmaker with the 49ers. And then the Dolphins, they do a lot of that same stuff. Obviously, Mike McDaniel coming from over there. And so that would and that could determine the offensive coordinator too, depending on who we had a head coach. As far as defensive coordinator, Mike McDonald, I think would depend on the playmakers that we had, but I will probably ask him to stay. Usually when you do a new regime though, usually previous coaches they end up going to. So, I will leave it up to him. I'll say, hey, you do you want to stay? Do you are you there? But oh, another option for head coach could possibly be Demico Ryan's. Demico Ryan's the 49ers defensive coordinator. That could be another one too. And then just have somebody really good run the offense and yeah, so that that could be another one right there. I forgot about him. He also said, what play style philosophy or identity would you install in this organization moving forward? I would just the play style philosophy would be stay ready so you ain't got to get ready. And what that would mean was just to be to open the offense up as much as possible. And I would just really want whoever I brought in make sure you make everybody who we feature a weapon and I will want consistency. Hey, you see this guy is hot. All right, let's find more ways to get him involved. Let's also find ways to switch it up. Let's find ways to just to still run a ball but also be effective passing the ball as well. We're going to have some games where the runners taking away. All right, we'll be ready for it. We're going to have some games with the pass is taken away. Okay, we'll be ready for it. Just be ready for it. Be ready in all situations and be able to adjust be willing to adjust. Do not be stuck in your ways because we all got things that we need to improve on. We all got things that we can adjust.  Don't not be no cocky coach. You're not better than anybody that works here. Nobody that works here is better than you. We all on the same level. Don't forget that. So be willing to make changes and be willing to step your game up. What would be your priorities within your first few months of power? Just really letting everybody know like, hey, we we not. This ain't about being complacent. This is not just this ain't about being competitive. This is about really being contentious. I want to win. I want to win Super Bowls. And I'm not just saying I wouldn't just be saying that as a owner slash G. I would actually really mean that. Yeah, because if I'm in business, if we make it, if we competitive and people who come into the games, they having fun. Oh, yeah, that's cool. That's great. But I want to win. I want to win, win, win, win. I will let them know that. He said, would you or would you not resound Lamar Jackson to his demands? Oh, certainly resound Lamar Jackson. I would do everything in my power to retain Lamar Jackson, because I know Lamar Jackson gives us a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, better chance of winning with him rather than without him. And he is not the easiest player to replace. He certainly wouldn't be. So I'll do everything in my power to keep him. He also said, what else would you personally add to make this team of Super Bowl contended? Because with the terrible Red Zone offense, reputation for injuries, bad coaching, especially in our recent first round playoff exits. We are currently Super Bowl pretenders. As far as the Red Zone offense, I mean, part of that is that's plate calling and execution too, but it starts with the coaching. I would just have to hold my guys accountable. They would definitely be held accountable for everything. As far as injuries, yeah, that's the staff right there. Sometimes some stuff just happens, but with the Ravens seem like a lot of stuff just always happens. So that would definitely get a thorough looking at and research because I just, I will want to do everything in my power to just avoid this. And you can't avoid every single injury. It ain't going to happen. Stuff's still going to happen. But I would just do everything in my power to ensure like, hey, we doing the best we can, injury-wise, and we being smart about stuff. And bad coaching, again, that's coaching. So that will be on me to make sure I had the right guys and that they were guys that were always willing to make adjustments and make fixes and changes to their games. They may have a great resume. They may have great thing that they've done in the past, but I will want to make sure that they were still willing to do great things in the future if something that they do and have done in the past isn't working. Next question came from my guy, Flarena Winsky. He said, hope all is well with you and yours. Also shout out to the rest of the team. Keep it clean gang, aka pacemaker gang. You know, the Ravens will be having a stress. He said, have you noticed the Ravens have a great eye for talent at quarterback? Well, for the majority of the time, I know we had Flacco and McNair for a long stint, but even the QBs behind them were pretty good, just like now Lamar and Snoop. Oh, like Cow Buller and Trent Delfa. And anyway, he said, it's kind of funny that it's kind of funny because they can't draft the old linemen or why receive it to save their life. Old linemen, Ben Powell, they took him a little bit. He seemed to be doing better now. Rice Stanley, he's been good. It's just been an injuries with him. Well, old line has been, Tyler Linderbaum, he's been good his first year. So he's been very impactful right away. He doesn't have some hiccups here and there. He's a rookie though, but he's been pretty good overall. So I wouldn't say they can't draft the old linemen, but why receive it? That's why receive this mix of drafting, this mix of scouting, this mix of development, this is like so much different things. But anyway, he said, also they have a great eye for running backs in tight ends. Never the sexy picks at those positions, but also over the years they have all panned out for the majority. Yeah, usually pretty much as far as especially running backs. Well, when they drafted, when they drafted, they drafted Kenneth Dixon. When he was healthy, he was straight. J.K. Dobbins, when he was healthy, straight, Gus Edwards was undrafted. Alex Collins, they traded from him for, they got him from Seahawks Practice Squad, Justin Forsett, free agent. Ray Rice, second round pick from Rutgers. He was phenomenal, obviously. They got Terrence West as a free agent, I believe. Who else? Bernard Pierce, they drafted him, I want to say, in the third round. He was straight, he was solid. Ricky Williams, obviously a free agent with this McGahey trade from the Beals. Oh, what's he a free agent? I forget. Well, yeah, anyway, I don't want to spend too much time on. But he said, even picking up free agents at those positions, I know it's philosophy, but also pass that because they literally don't miss at those three positions and miss at the other two. Which brings me to my next thing. As far as Ravens fans, I understand everybody wants Lamar, but realistically, all the free agents, everybody wanted were free agents for a reason. Fuller can't help or O'Dell nor Julio. I mean, honestly, look what they are doing now. It's good to have more help, but to me is failure in my eyes. Imagine making a splash without, excuse me, imagine making a splash with having DK or DHOP and them drawing up a plate to utilize them and send them on a post and it's the same result as if they sent Dove on a post because Lamar has to run in three milliseconds. If G-Row does this with Dove and them imagine a stupidity, he would run with an elite wide receiver. Honestly, I think we are just stuck, bro. They rely on Superman too much. Our team is built around Superman. Example, Josh Allen was very raw. I wouldn't say he's terrible, but the team wasn't built around him being Superman. So they invested in things that matter, like a good offensive line. They got a few good wide receivers which go hand in hand. They do, that's true. To be honest, if they really had to rely on Allen, I don't know if he would even be talked about, but since we are built on bad foundation, our team just goes off of God, giving talent at all positions instead of an actual good team. Oh, okay. I see why you're taking that. I'm glad I kept reading. He said, I'm not going to dig out McDonough like I do every single game. I'm just going to simply say that the cover two match was getting dog per usual. Same spot, same spot, same plays every game. I know, I know it got two picks, but that's just because Mitch Trevisky is bad. Let's be very honest here.  You think Harvey's going to ride it out? Well, let Lamar come back in early hopes to sabotage him even more.  But I just hope when they do bring him back that they can implement some of the same things they are doing now with the offense with him. But anyway, we'll see. He said it's funny. Snoop had all the same problems Lamar had getting flushed in the millisecond. They both always start to the right. They can't even make a read, which is alarming. But anyway, also getting the snap off. I know Tyler is doing good, but we also have to give him some blame for that issue because the same was happening with Brown, literally the exact same thing. Before I go, why don't they throw fades to Dove? I know this might sound very stupid, but bro, we all watch the game. Like, look at the majority. If not all of his receiving touchdown, he literally four feet in the air, but in the corner of the end zone. Like he quite possibly might be the answer. And like I am, every time I see the same play called on defense picked apart every minute, quarter, half, and game, I'm out.  And that'd be nice. Well, yeah, you said a lot with this one. You said a whole lot with this one. As far as the going back to the free agent part, I think an elite wide receiver would make a difference. The scheme is the biggest thing. That's the biggest thing. We done talked about that enough. But as far as like you mentioned with Josh Allen, yeah, the way that the Buffalo Bills built their team, they built, they invested in things that mattered for the quarterback the most. And that's just, yeah, that was really good. Now, it's like you sometimes depending on what areas you choose to address, then they're going to be some areas where you can't address as much. Bills, they don't usually have a big running game. They don't usually have a running game. Ravens have a great running game, but it's been that passing game that's been like, oh, what's going on there? The Bills passing game is wonderful, but they running games. But they have a, they got a pretty good defense. Ravens got a good defense, but that's where those two differ. Who else?  I know they're dealing with some injuries right now, but their defense is good. Their offense though, they know their offensive line, they would deal with some injuries and charges or they were just abusing to it sometimes. But in tools, just missing two sometime. But they got, overall, tours have been much better this year because they got Tyree Kill. They drafted Jalen Waddell, so that was nice.  And I mean, last year he was off and on when it came to playing. But this year, they've ascended to his game a lot. Tyree Kill has ascended Jalen Waddell's game a lot. It just, it's made a big difference. And I mean, we can go down a list of quarterbacks who've, games have been ascended from getting that elite guy, like Jalen Hurst is another one. So yeah, they do make a huge difference. But yeah, like, a lot of it is about scheme too. So, yeah, and you talked about your no more covered too much with Mike McDonald's defense. But the dude, the fade routes, yeah. That would, that'd be nice to just really to anybody. To Mark Andrews, even though he's gonna get a lot of attention in the end zone, but still, I mean, he's still good. If you can get a matchup one-on-one, give him a shot. Duvenay, Pro Shae, like my guy, Kev mentioned earlier. DeMarcus Robinson, I wonder, like DeMarcus Robinson, he has this thing where he, he miss times jumps. It's weird. So I don't know if to him would be the best idea to go with the fade route. But yeah, that's that. But with this question, yeah, you don't say it a lot, like as usual. And last question on this episode came from my guy, Manuel, he said the scam, that's G-Roll's offense. What's up, Ingraven? After save from the defense in the Steelers game about time, I was looking up some interesting facts about G-Roll's offense. And in fact, the way G-Roll's offense is set up is not for running quarterbacks, nor dual threats. It's specifically designed for running backs and full backs, where you can be creative with the running game through blocks, counter, jet sweeps, shout out to Duvenay. Yet in the passing game, it lacks the most critical things for it to work. Route speed and talent at the wide receiver position. The tree route, had the route tree, it has, is all short and mostly designed for tight ends because of their size and body type. They can take on linebackers easily in corners covering them. When you put a wide receiver in those positions, it always fails because they're not tight ends. They command speed and need intermediate routes to excel with G-Roll doesn't have in his playbook. And for the wide receiver to excel in this offense, it's only blocking or go long, never another route. The short routes close fast as you can try to fake hand the ball off to your running back, making the speed, the key factor on this offense, which you know, honestly, we don't have anymore. Shout out to Hollywood and Bateman, because no one plays at Le Mans, so Le Mans gets frustrated that he has to slow down and wait for a play to develop. Duvenay, he got some speed on him. It ain't like Bateman, Hollywood, but he got some speed on him. Other than that, the Marcus Robinson, he got some. It ain't like Bateman, Hollywood, but he got some. But he said when in college, he was perfect with quick plays and intermediate routes in that West Coast offense, but Hobbs had G-Roll and thought and said, now we'll use you as running back more than a quarterback. That 2019 was a showcase for Le Mans, that he can run and pass, but it was just welcoming him to the NFL because we saw the fall in the passing game and that tightens playoff. A lack of repetition calls, drop balls, lack of routes calls, and why receiver's not to get open. And it was the same thing in 2020, but what a coincidence that when T. Martin and Keith Williams showed up, we could pass the ball more effectively without a running game. Yet the Ravens don't want to admit their biggest mistake of all, and that's to continue to think that running a ball will get them another Super Bowl. Le Mans needs a passing offense, like Mahomes or Allen, to showcase his passability, but there's one big problem. We have no one at wide receiver for that and whose fault is that? Because they know that if Le Mans puts big numbers, he'll command money, and Bishadi is cheaper on that front. He had no option but to pay Flacco when he won that Super Bowl, because if he left like Dilford, they were going to be trashed because half of that defense was gone entering 2013. But back to the deception of this offense, if this type of offense benefits running quarterbacks, then why didn't Kaepernick tie Rod Huntley in his pass game with Brown Jr. Haven't produced a number of points Le Mans produced in 2019 in each game, as it should since it enhances your running ability. Why hasn't Giro or any other coach running this type of offense get a head coaching job in NFL because they all know that the system is for only producing running yards and not passing yards?  If Bishadi wants another trophy, he has to step up and tell EDC, either we change our offense now or we'll win and done in the playoff. Sorry if this was long, but I had to put it out there because I have no faith in this offense in a playoff. It's not what Giro called in the plays, no hardball allowed in the play, then bad plays to happen and hindering Le Mans' ability to go all out. Wow. Wow. Wow. That was a lot. That was a lot. That was a lot. That was a lot. That was a lot. Wow. Anyway, I wasn't playing. So yeah, this offense is what the offense is. And we know that this is specializes in the run game and specializes in the tight ends and stuff. Not really specialized for the wide receivers, which we all knew and know. But yeah, hopefully, I'm hoping for the best coming to playoffs. I understand that the lack of trust, moving forward, the lack of trust, especially in the playoffs. But let's hope that the run game and the playoffs can go off. But the passing game, they can just be good compliments to each other. They can feed off of each other in a positive way. You don't want to feed off each other in a negative way, but they can feed off of each other in a positive way. Because obviously, nothing, she ain't going nowhere during the rest of the season. So just got to really hope for the best, man. Got to hope for the best and just hope that the Ravens just catch fire, that they catch fire. And they just start, it looks like offense that we ain't ever seen before. And we're like, whoa, where does this coming from?  Now, with JK and Gus being back, that helps a lot with Ronnie Stanley being back. It helps a lot. So we just, with the Ravens getting healthy, especially to getting that right guy is healthy. It can help so much. It can help them be as strong as they're going to be. So you got Ronnie Stanley back. You got JK back. Even though he ain't 100%, you got him back. You got Gus.  So and something to think about too, especially with the running game, if they were able to run the way that they ran last week without Lamar, just imagine how they can run with him. But the bigger thing is the passing game. The passing game, passing game, passing game, especially come playoff time. Because the defense, not really worried about the defense in the playoff, but they will be going against some of the better quarterbacks. So there is that worry there, especially past defense. So we'll see, we'll see. But wow, that was a lot. But you just, you want to see this offense as strong as they possibly can be. And we'll never see the full strength of this offense for 2022. Because Rashad Bateman is out. But we just want to see guys step up. And that's the players, that's the coaches, that's everybody. We want to see them all step up when it matters the most. And like I said, with the scheme and everything, the scheme is what it is. We just got to hope that the Ravens can, to 2012, 49 is this thing, except they don't lose the Super Bowl. That they can get there and then they could just go crazy and they can be on the flip side this time. But you never know. You never know. I do think this is, again, this G-Ros last year, but will it be the Ravens last year with the philosophy? That's the bigger question. So for everything that you talked about, yeah, we won't really know till we know and we won't find out really till this offseason. Drink, oh, just what I made. You too, team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like, automated, automated. Well, that's my homie, ain't that right in Ravens? Right in Ravens. Shout out to Ravens.


Wagner boss says war between Moscow and Kiev might drag on for three more years. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine will likely continue for up to three more years, depending on the goals Moscow actually pursues in it. Wagner private military group founder Yegevny Progazin has said. The businessman made the remarks in an interview with Semyon Pegov of the Independent War Gonzo Project. If we need to cover the DPR and LPR, then we need to work for at least another year and a half or two, Progazin stated, referring to the terrorists of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, which were recently incorporated into Russia. Should Russia seek to go towards the Nipa, a major river separating Ukraine into roughly two halves, the conflict will last even longer and drag on for up to three more years, Progazin suggested. At the same time, the founder of the private military group noted that in any conflict, the destruction of the enemy's army must be the priority rather than a desire to seize territories from the adversary. Progazin also revealed, apparently jokingly, that should Moscow also seek to reach all across Europe towards the English Channel, he already has a perfect plan for such an endeavor. To achieve that goal, everyone in Russia must drop any leisure activity put on their working suits and work tirelessly. Some spoils of the campaign, however, including France, Italy, Bulgaria and something else, should be ceded afterwards to Ukrainians since they are set to suffer here with us much more. Founded in 2014, Wagner has mainly operated as a security contractor in Africa and the Middle East until now. The precise details of its deployments have not been made public while Progazin denied his ties to the group and its very existence until last year. The group has been an active participant in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The achievements have also earned the company wide international attention, with the US declaring Wagner a transnational criminal organization last month.

In Portugal, you saw what happened in Sungurta, what is happening not around the state. How do you want to maximize the economic progress of the state with these bad roads? And the government in power, they are doing nothing about it. And I want to tell you that it's a youth with a lot of vision, with a lot of energy.
