1 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan Mink 2 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: here with Garrett Downing, and we are gonna break down 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens thirty to twenty three win over the Washington 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: Commanders here at M and T Banks Stadium. The Ravens 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: moved to four and two on the season, dropped the 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: Washing Commanders to four and two, And most importantly, I 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: have neighborhood bragging rights over the Commanders fans that live 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: around me. So the Battle of the Belways, the Ravens 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: proved they're still top gau. 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: You're gonna pull into the neighborhood tonight. Just honk in 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 2: the horn, Oh, Ravens flag out. 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: So yeah, whenever riggs all over the car. 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: And everybody knows you pull into the neighborhood. 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. Absolutely. 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 3: I mean, look, this game, it was the local rivalry. 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 3: We talked about that during the week. It was a 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 3: little bit. It was the biggest game between these two 18 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 3: teams in a long long time, really says back to 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 3: twenty twelve. So the biggest time that these two teams 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 3: are faced with all the stakes, the quality of the 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 3: two teams at the time of them playing, and so 22 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,919 Speaker 3: the Ravens get ragging rights there, and they show once again, 23 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: I think that I think they showed from this season's standpoint, 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: they proved there was any doubt that they are certainly 25 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 3: one of the best teams in the NFL. They've now 26 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: done it multiple weeks. They've won four straight games. Washington 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: was one of the hottest teams in the league coming 28 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 3: into this, and the Ravens say once again, we are 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: here to stay. 30 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: We're one of the NFL's best. 31 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: And look, I think the Commanders are a good team, man, 32 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: until Jane Daniels played a pretty darn good game for 33 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback coming in here. And you know, they didn't 34 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: really beat themselves, the Commanders. The Ravens just beat them 35 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: like they're just a better team at this point. Like 36 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens to me are kind of what the Commanders 37 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: are aspiring to be and like, and that's nothing. They're 38 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: a good team. They might win the NFC East, right, Hey, 39 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: hopefully we see him again, right sure, and you know 40 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: what that would mean, yeah, exactly, Sea New Orleans. But 41 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, I just think that the Ravens are a 42 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: better team certainly right now. And uh, and they proved 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: it today. This was This offense is really hard to 44 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: stop anyway you slice it. I think opponents are having 45 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: a really hard time knowing how to attack this Ravens 46 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: defense and have any kind of sustained success. 47 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: Attack the offense or yeah, I'm sorry, attack the offense. Yeah, 48 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: I'm with you one hundred percent. I think that this 49 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 3: Ravens offense pick your poison is like the first time 50 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 3: I I mean. 51 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: That's the word that. That's a phrase that's been thrown around. 52 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: And cliche, but it is true. 53 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. And Mark Andrews was the one. 54 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: We had him on the pod, you know, friend of 55 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: the Lounge early on, and he was one of the 56 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 3: early ones that really started driving it home. And I 57 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 3: feel like everyone's saying it now and it's and it's 58 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: so true. Because you have this game where Lamar Jackson 59 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: throws for over three hundred yards. Okay, must have been 60 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: an aired out game. Oh well, there's Derek Henry had 61 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: two touchdowns and over one hundred and thirty rushing yards. 62 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 3: So you can do it every which way. Last week 63 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 3: you have Charlie Kohler making big plays. This week it's 64 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: Isaiah Sorry, this week it's say it's Zay Flowers. 65 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 2: It's Shot Blowers. 66 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: Caught nine passes for one hundred and thirty two yards 67 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: in the first half. Yep, he didn't catch a single 68 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: one in the second half. 69 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, they pulled away totally. 70 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: And he told me after the game, he was like, yeah, 71 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 3: you know, Tom Munko was dialing up for me in 72 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: the first half and then basically let the big dog 73 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: Derek Henry take over. 74 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 2: In the second. But it wasn't just Dearreic Henry. It 75 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: was Mark Andrews. 76 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: It was Shot Baman who came up with some big catches. 77 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: It really the whole pick You're poison thing is real 78 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 3: for this Ravens offense. And like, I don't want to 79 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: go too hyperbole here, but I just don't really see 80 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: a scenario where this Ravens offense can be stopped for 81 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: four quarters. 82 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: I don't know how you do that. 83 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they've stopped themselves at times this Year's that's 84 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: when you know, as Todd Monkin has said, eliminate the 85 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: negative plays, eliminate that kind of clean up the sloppiness. 86 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: And this offense is just too dynamic, has too many 87 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: playmakers to really beat and so and we saw that 88 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: early in this game. They kind of stubbed their toe 89 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: a couple times. Right, you have an interception pass a 90 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: little too far out in front of Mark Andrews off 91 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: his hands picked off right, and then they missed you know, 92 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: they have the snap by Tyler Linderbaum. He just doesn't 93 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: get the ball of the ground. Tyler after the game said, 94 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: that's the first time that's ever happened to him. Kind 95 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: of lost grip of the ball. And so there were 96 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: some early opportunities for more points for the Ravens that 97 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: they missed on. But then once they eliminated the negative 98 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: plays and and all that stuff, and the penalties of 99 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: course hurt them early in the year. When you cut 100 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: that stuff out, it's tough. I mean, I don't I 101 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: don't want to say unstoppable. What's like one degree down 102 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: from unstoppable. 103 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, close to unstoppable. 104 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Part semi stoppable, somewhat stoppable, mostly unstoppable, mostly notable. 105 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: Yes, I really think that's the case. 106 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 3: Like and even the point that you made, which is 107 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: when they've hurt themselves, that's when they've been stopped. But 108 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: that's not and this is what the Ravens have said. 109 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: When you talk to the players, you talk to Lamar Jackson. 110 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 3: They feel like when they have not had success, it's 111 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 3: been because they hurt themselves. I don't know that there's 112 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: been a team that's just that can come in wherever 113 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: the game is and keep this offense from putting up 114 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: points in four course. I just think that this offense 115 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: has too many any answers, It has too many talented players. 116 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: The biggest weakness coming into the season was the. 117 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 3: Offensive line, and they've really come together over the course 118 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: of the last three four weeks exactly. 119 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson sacked only twice and Derrick Henry in this 120 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: rushing game rumbles once again. And so yeah, the offensive line. 121 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean Lele had a big block on Derrick Henry's 122 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown run late in the game. You know, 123 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: the toss left play is that looks unstoppable. I mean, 124 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: that's what they iced last week's game in Cincinnati over 125 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: time is toss left to Derrick Henry fifty one fifty 126 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: five yards last week and then the big twenty seven 127 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: yard run by Derrick Henry late in this game to 128 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: basically ice this one again, toss left. I asked Derrick 129 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: Henry about that play and he gave me a big yeah. 130 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you're not listening to Derrick Henry. 131 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 3: I think you should listen to Henry. 132 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: All right. 133 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: He told me not to talk about that play, and 134 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: here you are blabbing about it. 135 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: I think the film's gonna I think opponents are going 136 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: to see that one on film. Uh So, Yeah, that 137 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: is just a really tough play to stop. And you know, 138 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: like we said, it truly is pick your poison right now, 139 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: and the Ravens are dished out a lot of poison. 140 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that, like from a mentality standpoint, 141 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: when you have Derrick Henry, I think that there is 142 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 3: something to that. And so when you get to the 143 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 3: fourth quarter and you have a lead and you know 144 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: that you can let like he's just gets better over 145 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: the course of the game. Like all the cliches that 146 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 3: you've heard about Derrick Henry over the course of his career, 147 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 3: he gets stronger as the game wears on. He's a closer, 148 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: he's hard to tackle, Teams don't want to get in 149 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: front of him in the fourth quarter. All that stuff, 150 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 3: It's true, And I think that that really does affect 151 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 3: the mentality of both. 152 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: Sides of the ball. 153 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 3: When you just are like when the defense is looking 154 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 3: across and you're like, man, we got to get off 155 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: the field, but I got to tackle Derek Henry Like 156 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: no one wants to do that. And for the Ravens 157 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 3: when they know that and you can give him the 158 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: ball and he can just pick up chunks of yards 159 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: and eat up first downs. I just think that there's 160 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: such a it's a confidence booster, and there's a psyche 161 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 3: that goes along with closing games. And the Ravens have 162 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: done that, and I think that Henry's really like his 163 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: ability and his presence just allows him to do that 164 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: at such a high level. 165 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean we thought last week's overtime wining Cincinnati, right, 166 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: and they scored was it forty one? 167 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 2: Yeah? 168 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: Forty one points? Right. The Ravens averaged more yards per 169 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: play today against the Commanders than they did last week 170 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. They averaged seven point four yards per play 171 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: against the Canners. That's obscene. Yeah, that's an obscene number. Yeah, 172 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: And so I think that's why this game, although it 173 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: finished close thirty to twenty three, it never really felt 174 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: super close. It felt like the Ravens offense was just 175 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: too good, couldn't be stopped and was going to control 176 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: the game, and it did. It did for the majority 177 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: and the defense to its credit, and we'll talk more 178 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: about that, but you know, they didn't give up with 179 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: the big plays, the easy, big touchdowns to the commanders, 180 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: and so that was enough. And I think that let's 181 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: also put perspective how good Derrick Henry's start to his 182 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: career has been. I mean, he became the first player 183 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: since la Damian Tomlinson in two thousand and five with 184 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown in each of his team's first six 185 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: games of the season. Okay, he tied Robert Edwards with 186 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots in nineteen ninety eight for the 187 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: most consecutive games with at least one rushing score to 188 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: begin a stint with an NFL franchise. 189 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: So you remember that great Robert Ivers season, the great. 190 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: Oh he's in the hall right LT is definitely Robert 191 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: Edward was cooking. 192 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: What's saying this is that Derek Herrier's looking a lot 193 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: like Robert Edwards. 194 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: In ninety eight. 195 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: Derek Hedder says, yeah, it feels good to be a 196 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: bone of the greats. He saw about Robert all right, 197 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: but I mean, like, I mean, it's it's crazy the start. 198 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: And I asked Derrick Henry this last week in the 199 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: locker room, I said, like, did you expect it to 200 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: be this good? This fast? And he kind he looked 201 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: at me like I had two heads, and He's like like, 202 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: if I didn't think I was any good, I wouldn't 203 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: be playing man. Yeah, And I was like, I hear you, 204 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, but like, I don't think any of us 205 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: could have bet that it would come together like Dix 206 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: and I think to your point earlier, a lot of 207 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: that for me Hins around this offensive line. Were they 208 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: gonna be able to run block well enough for Derrick 209 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: Henry to kind of get on that track and get 210 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: going downhill. We talked a lot about it all leading 211 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: up to the season, and by golly, they. 212 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: Have Yeah, they really haven't. 213 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 3: And I think that, like just going back to the 214 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: picture poison thing. You look at the stat sheet here, 215 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 3: so zave fire from Derek Henry and Lamar. Really that's 216 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 3: kind of the three headed monster the leads the way here. 217 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 3: But man Rasaud Bateman came up with multiple big catches 218 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 3: in this game. He finishes with four for seventy one. 219 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 3: Mark Andrews has three catches for sixty six yards and 220 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 3: a touchdown. Really really happy for Mark Andrews to get 221 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 3: in the end zone. He ties Todd Heap with the 222 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 3: most receiving touchdowns career receiving touchdowns forty one of them 223 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: in Raven's history. That's a franchise record, and he's been 224 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 3: sitting on that number for a long time. It goes 225 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 3: back to last year before he even got hurt, so 226 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 3: he's been sitting on that for a long time. The 227 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 3: start of the season has not gone the way individually 228 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 3: that Mark would have liked, but he heated up in 229 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: this game, and I think he showed in this game 230 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 3: he's still a really good player and obviously a vital 231 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: piece of this offense. 232 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I think that. Also. Lamar Jackson was very 233 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: excited to get Mark Andrews in the end zone. You know, 234 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: we talked about last week in Cincinnati. Should have had 235 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: a touchdown to Mark, but threw it a little bit short. 236 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: Mark had to go low and make that catch and 237 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: couldn't quite get in the end zone. And Lamar even said, 238 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, Lamar was mad at himself for not making 239 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: a better throw on that, and he was like, yeah, 240 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: Mark was mad at me too, and so to make 241 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: that happen, and what a great leaping grab by Mark. 242 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: That was not an easy catch for that touchdown, and 243 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: that was really I think the play of the game 244 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: for them to deliver there on third down for that 245 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: score was really big in this game. And especially you 246 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: know we talked about the interception, ball comes off of 247 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: Mark's hands is picked off. To make that play after 248 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: the pick I think was also important. And you know, 249 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: you knew that the big dog Mark Andrews is gonna 250 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: eat eventually, and I think that this just kind of 251 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: lifts that weight off a little bit because there's no doubt. 252 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: Mike Marcus told us like he's a team player. It's 253 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: about winning, but he wants to produce too. He wants 254 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: to catch the ball. He wants to impact games. And 255 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: for him to go up make that touchdown catch, I 256 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: think that's a big deal. I mean, really, Mark Andrews, 257 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: Zay Flowers, and Rashat Bateman all set season highs in 258 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: receiving yards today. Three guys. That's pretty impressive. And don't 259 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: lose track of Bateman because really on the first the 260 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: Ravens first ninety three, that was a ninety three yard 261 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: touchdown drive. They had a ninety three and ninety four, 262 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: so it's hard to keep him straight. Even on the 263 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: ninety three yard he really dug him out from Barry 264 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: deep in their end with two completions that got him 265 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: around midfield. I thought, Rashad Bateman, Yeah, four targets, four catches, 266 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: making the most of his opportunity, drew a PI. That 267 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: was a pretty big call also, and so Bit deserves 268 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: credit too. 269 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 3: I'm with you because on both those drives, those are 270 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 3: long drives there, and he had back to back catches 271 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 3: on both of them. That proved really critical for the 272 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: Ravens to kind of get the things jump started for 273 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: the offense at that time, So that was huge for him. 274 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: The other thing too, my kind of last big point 275 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: on the offense is they scored on five straight possessions 276 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 3: going back to the second quarter, and something that Lamar 277 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 3: has talked about was keep the foot on the gas, 278 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: don't let up. 279 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 2: That's what happened earlier in the season. 280 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: They felt like, you know, they had a lead really going, 281 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: that's the Vegas game they were talking about. 282 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: You have the lead, you. 283 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 3: Blow the lead, and the offense felt like, if we 284 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: need to keep our foot on the gas. They have 285 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 3: done that. They did that today, five straight possessions they score. 286 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: They that stopped on the final possession of the game 287 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 3: when they just ran out the clock and ended in 288 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 3: victory formation. So five straight then you end it in 289 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: victory formation. That's exactly how you want things to go 290 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 3: for an offense. And I think that them keeping their 291 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: foot on the gas, whether that's a mentality, a play 292 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: calling thing, whatever goes to execution all of those things. 293 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 3: The Ravens were able to do that in this game. 294 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think there if they get leads on teams, 295 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: I know, you know it's the fourth quarter. Blown leads 296 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: has been a talking point for a long time and 297 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: here here in Baltimore. But the way they're running the 298 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: ball and with Derrick Henry and the physicality that he 299 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: runs with, it's gonna be really tough for opponents to 300 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: come back on them and win games. 301 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: Everyone talks about those blown leads and like it is 302 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: this talking point, but we need to mention it, like 303 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 3: when it doesn't happen to right and like I was 304 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 3: sitting in the press box, you start to hear it 305 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: now at ten. 306 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: Points here we go. 307 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think the defense. Also, by the way, 308 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: I know it wasn't a banner day for the defense 309 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: by any means in Cincinnati, but they closed that game 310 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: out right. I mean Marlin got that interception. Yeah, they 311 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: held them. Matta Biue got that sack on the final 312 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: possession of regulation. They took a ball over and didn't 313 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: get anything on three straight running plays before the missfield goal. 314 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: Like defense closed that game out. 315 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 316 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: So all right, we're talking about Cincinnati game. Let's take 317 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: a break and get back on track here talking about 318 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens win over the Commanders and what happened on 319 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. 320 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: You're listening to the Lage Podcast. We're coming to you 321 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 3: from the Sea Geek Studio. We also want to give 322 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: a shout out to our friends at Draft Kings Sportsbook. 323 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 3: They are an official sports betting partner or the Baltimore 324 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: Ravens Draft Kings Sportsbook. 325 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: The Crown is yours. So this defense, I thought I 326 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: really had a rebound day. 327 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: Washington comes into this game with the top ranked offense 328 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 3: in football. Okay, so just to put into perspective here, 329 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: how good Washington's offense was, and I thought that the 330 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: Ravens schematically really limited them, didn't give up big plays, 331 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 3: and some of the best plays that Washington made in 332 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: this game, you look at it and you just say, 333 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 3: I mean that was you know. I think of the 334 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: Terry McLaurin touchdown against Brandon Stevens, like what else are 335 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: you gonna do? You're right there, super tight coverage, your 336 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: hand is in his gut, Like, what else can you 337 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: really do? 338 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: I thought that the defense. I thought the defense played well. 339 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: They give up twenty three points, but I thought it 340 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: was it was a strong showing from the defense. 341 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: I completely agree. They didn't let this turn into a shootout. Yes, 342 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: what happened right, and they made the Commanders fight for 343 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: pretty much everything that they got. And Terry McLaurin like, again, yeah, 344 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: you have to tip your cat on some of those plays. 345 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: Jane Daniels made some really great throws and I thought 346 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: it was telling from Rokwan Smith. After the game, I 347 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: asked him what he thought about Jayden Daniels, and he 348 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: was really complementary of him, said he was really impressed 349 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: in Washington's in very good hands, that the rookie took 350 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: some shots and kept going in a tough environment, made 351 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: some good throws. He said, Yeah, he was very impressed 352 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: with Jade Daniels. 353 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 3: And let's just say Rookwan's not want to just dish 354 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 3: out praise. Yes, like Willie Nilly here, that. 355 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: Quote I thought could go completely the opposite direction. Yeah, 356 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: But the Ravens defense, I thought they were flying around. 357 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey was really flying around and hitting. I thought 358 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: he had a particularly impressive day. Led them with nine tackles, 359 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: had a pass deflection, Travis Jones had his first sack 360 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four season. Was a monster, and 361 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: really they carried out the game plan that I think 362 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: we talked coming into this. He had to limit the 363 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: commanders on the ground and because if they're in third 364 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: manageable situations all day long, it's gonna be really tough. 365 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: And the Ravens did that. Eighteen carries for fifty two 366 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: yards as two point nine carries per pop. Jade Daniels 367 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: really didn't have any long runs along of nine yards, 368 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: so he didn't break loose against him. Austin Eckler at 369 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: nine for twenty one. They really clamped down on Washington's 370 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: run game, and that's what Baltimore's defense has done all year, 371 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: and that made things tougher. 372 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 3: Brian Robinson, they starting running back was out today, so 373 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: it was certainly a factor. 374 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: That's a factor, But I still. 375 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: Think that the way that just schematically the Ravens played 376 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 3: this game, they did the right things defensively. Jhanniekin Gockway 377 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 3: gets his first sack, and you mentioned hitting. How do 378 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 3: you not mention Kyle Hamilton if you're talking about physical play. 379 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that was a shot. 380 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: Credit to Terry mcclorin for holding onto that football, but man, 381 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 3: Kyle Hamilton played with physicality in this game. 382 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: Got a shot on Jane Daniels. 383 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 3: Who like he's a tone setter, and on that hit 384 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 3: in particular, you saw that. 385 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I thought Roquon had one on the 386 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: goal line when yeah, Jayden was trying to get in 387 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 1: that end zone and Roquon was not going to have 388 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: any piece of that. You know, they still have things 389 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: to improve on, but again, like you talked about, this 390 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: is number one offense coming into the game, and the 391 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: Ravens have had a streak of playing against really top 392 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: notch offenses. It's going to continue here against Baker Mayfield 393 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: and that receiving attack that is Mike Evans and Godwin 394 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: and that's not going to be an easy feat next 395 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: week down in Tampa Bay. But you know, I thought 396 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: this was a step forward, especially considering the opponent they 397 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: were facing. 398 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. I think that like this defense. 399 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 3: You know, there's a couple they were not at all 400 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 3: like when you talk to Roquon in the locker room, 401 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: they were not at all throwing the victory parade. And 402 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 3: you can said that about the entire team, but the 403 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: defense they I think they felt good about the strides 404 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 3: that they made, but still definitely feel like they're stings 405 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 3: to clean up mclaurin's first touchdown in the back of 406 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 3: the end zone. It just seemed like Marcus Williams was 407 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 3: closest there, but that was too easy of a play, 408 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 3: Like those are the types of those are the types 409 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 3: of touchdowns you don't want to allow. If they're scoring 410 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 3: touchdowns on plays where Brandon Stevens is right there in 411 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 3: coverage and he just makes a great catch going out 412 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 3: of balance. Okay, not much you can do there, but 413 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 3: you don't want a guy catching the ball wide open 414 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 3: to the end zone. And those are some of the 415 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 3: things you know that they need to clean up as 416 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: a defense, and I think that that's where they'll continue 417 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 3: to put that focus in that emphasis. 418 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely agree. Another point, Tucker three for three, Yeah today, 419 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: you know the struggles obviously that was a huge kick 420 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: to Forest over time in Cincinnati, but then the bounce 421 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: back go three for three today, including you know, a 422 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: plus forty yarder in a critical situation I thought was 423 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: important for him, And it just seems like all of 424 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: that is forgotten by this point. 425 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 3: When you said when you talk about Mark Andrews and 426 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: how getting in the end zone kind of just lifts 427 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 3: that hoole narrative, it made me think of Tucker and 428 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: the way he played today. 429 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: So he has the big kick last week and. 430 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 3: All the talk of the struggles, it just seems like 431 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: that was like years ago, right, and then he comes 432 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 3: out today and I think most Ravens fans probably think, like, Okay, 433 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 3: Tucker is going up there, this is the time to 434 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 3: refresh the drink, like, you know, this is going to be. 435 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: Good, right. 436 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 3: And so that's just the way that we've been so 437 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: accustomed to him playing over the course of his career, 438 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 3: and I think there could be a similar thing here 439 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 3: with Mark. Mark gets to the end zone, gets rolling 440 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 3: a little bit, and we could go into this game 441 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 3: next week and Mark Andrews, you know, could have seven 442 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: catches like that type of thing. Could snowball for Mark 443 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 3: Andrews in a similar way to how it worked for 444 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: Tucker today. 445 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, So the Ravens are rolling. It's a size 446 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: him up Sunday and they're gonna have another big game 447 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: next week. 448 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 449 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 3: Well, one other point that I want to make here 450 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 3: before we wrap up. I thought it was interesting in 451 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 3: listening to the game broadcast. Yeah, Tony Romo and Jim 452 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 3: Nance really effusive in their praise for John Harball and 453 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 3: Nance and Romo. Romo started the conversation by saying, John 454 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: Harball is one of the best coaches in the league, 455 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: and Nan said he's a Hall of Famer, and Romo responded, 456 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 3: no question, He's a top ten all time coach for me. 457 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: So I thought that that was I mean, this is 458 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 3: the a team for CBS when you have this, this game, 459 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 3: this matchup, this is the hottest ticket in town, like 460 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: everybody wanted to be here. So you have Nancy Romo 461 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 3: calling the game and for them to talk about John Harbaugh, 462 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 3: and in that context, I thought speaks to just the 463 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 3: respect that he has at the highest levels of. 464 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: The league and the media covering this league and it 465 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 2: and it, you know, as Romo Romo said. 466 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 3: The other part of his quote was like when you 467 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 3: give him all these players that he has right now, 468 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: like they have the type of team that they could 469 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl. 470 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: Oh that's that, that's the type of team. 471 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: And I think that, like, yeah, Harball Hall of Fame, 472 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 3: that that Yes, I think that I would agree. But 473 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 3: then the second part of that, this has the team, 474 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 3: the coaching, the pieces are there for this team to 475 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl. 476 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: Well, I think that this game and this, you know, 477 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: the Battle of the Beltways kind of speaks that, right. 478 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: I mean, what the Commanders came out here and saw 479 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: firsthand was just a Ravens team that is really tough 480 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: to beat. They are just a good They're just a 481 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: good team and it have been for a long time. 482 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: And a lot of that goes to John Harball. Yeah, 483 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, they're just year in and 484 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: year out. And that's what I said at the beginning. 485 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: The Commanders want to get to where the Ravens are, 486 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: right and like they saw it firsthand today that you know, 487 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: and it doesn't hurt with the roster that Eric DeCosta 488 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: is put on this field. You know, the Ravens have 489 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: a lot of talent, but part of it is like, hey, 490 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: everybody's questioning the Ravens offensive line, everybody's questioning the defense 491 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: after Mike McDonald leaves, and can they still you know, 492 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: be good enough? And and all that they have turnover 493 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: again this offseason, lose all these free agents and guess what, 494 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: Ravens are still one of the best teams of the 495 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: league again. Yeah, right, nothing changes, And in part that's 496 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: because of the guy with the headset on the head 497 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: coach that hasn't changed. 498 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 3: Yep, totally, I'm with you. So it's a good feeling 499 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 3: right now. This is a this is a great win. 500 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: This is a size of up win. It's definitely a 501 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 3: size it's a size of up win. When you beat 502 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 3: the hottest team of football coming into this game, that's 503 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 3: the size of up win. 504 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: Well, one of the hottest teams. Hotea. 505 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: So thanks for listening.
