1 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge, presented by DraftKings. It's a size 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: them up Sunday Garrett after the Ravens thirty one to 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: twenty four win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week eight. 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: It wasn't always pretty, but this is the classic. A 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: win is a win, is a win is a win, Garrett, 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: and you size them up either way. Yeah, totally. It 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: wasn't always pretty. 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 3: But I also never, especially in the second half, really 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 3: felt like the game was necessarily that close. I felt 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 3: like the Ravens had it in hand, and it just 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: felt like it was a game that wouldn't end. 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: I was like the fourth quarter it. 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 3: Just kept going and going, and then the on side 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 3: kick gets at it and you're just like, well, this 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 3: game just end. Like we know what's gonna happen. The 16 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 3: Ravens are gonna win this game. They've got it pretty 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 3: much in hand, you know. Now, I will say, when 18 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 3: they line up for the second on side kick, I'm like, 19 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 3: they're not gonna They're not gonna get it again, right, Like, 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: they're not gonna get it again. 21 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: But you had to. 22 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: You were sweating that out, that one out a little bit. 23 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: Don't think we were all at home kind of We're like, 24 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: I'm kind of on the edge. 25 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: Of my seat here. Do I actually have to start worrying? 26 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: Do I need to start sweating? 27 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: Right? 28 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: Or Am I good? 29 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: Right? 30 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: Right? 31 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: Exactly? 32 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: So it was a game that wouldn't end, but I thought, overall, 33 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 3: like it was, it was a good win for the Raves. 34 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 3: I thought the Cardinals like they impressed me in terms 35 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 3: of playing to the end there, to be honest, like, 36 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 3: I kind of felt like, this is the team that's 37 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 3: that doesn't look like they're going anywhere this year, and 38 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 3: for them to keep fighting the way they did, I 39 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 3: thought that kind of impressed me. But again, you said it, 40 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 3: a win is a win, and I thought that even 41 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: on a day where the Ravens I don't think have 42 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: their best stuff. You know, it's like a pitcher who 43 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 3: doesn't have his best stuff but is able to work 44 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: the counts and get some double plays and things like that. 45 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 3: That's kind of what I thought this game was for 46 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 3: the Ravens. 47 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely agree, And let's be honest, I think 48 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: early on in this game, the Cardinals go down the field, 49 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: they score on their opening drive, You're down seven to nothing, 50 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: and then the Ravens offense is struggling a little bit 51 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: out out of the gates. You're like, oh boy, here 52 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: we go again. Is it happening happening again? Where the 53 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: Ravens kind of, you know, playdown to their opponent and 54 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: have a letdown game after we're all riding so high 55 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: in Detroit. I think that's kind of what we're all 56 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: thinking early on in this game, and it is a 57 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: testament to the Ravens that they didn't go too far 58 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: down that road, right, I mean, I think that this 59 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: could have gone the other way. And John Harball even said, 60 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: you're not going to be hitting on every every cylinder 61 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: every single week. You have to find a way to 62 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: win those games. And I completely agree. 63 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I thought, like, I think that's a 64 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 3: good point that there's been times over the past few 65 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 3: years where like they've lost a game like this, and 66 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 3: you know. 67 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: Even I mean we saw Indy, I mean this season, right, 68 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: Indy Pittsburgh, Yep, we saw. 69 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: That, yeah, yep. 70 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: And and so to not lose it, I thought was 71 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: obviously huge for this team. And then even again at 72 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: the end, I never I never really felt like it was. 73 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 3: It was super close, but you know, at the end 74 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: when it gets kind of close, like even just to 75 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: get that last outside kick and be like, all right, 76 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: this is done. Fund's over you know, Parti's over here, 77 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 3: We're going to get the win. I thought, I thought 78 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: that was big, and I think that like, you know, 79 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 3: it was kind of a weird game. It was slopping 80 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: in certain ways, like the offense was pretty good and 81 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: fishing and we're gonna get it all that, but like 82 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: it just kind of felt, I guess a little bit disjointed. 83 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: But I just think from a big picture level, like 84 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 3: it showed that the Ravens can win a game when 85 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 3: they don't have their best stuff. And I thought John 86 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 3: Harwell made a great point about that after the game 87 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: where he said that, you know, the best teams over 88 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: the course of the year proved that they can win 89 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: games when they're not at their best. And that's basically 90 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: what we did today. 91 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: And well the Ravens, well you look at the Chiefs, right, 92 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs didn't wear it at their best. They just 93 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 1: lost to the Broncos today. Yep, exactly, So that's that's 94 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: what the Ravens avoided. Yep. 95 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: That kind of game did totally totally, so really significant. 96 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 3: And then I think, you know, it's been a tough 97 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: stretch for this team. You know, I don't know that 98 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 3: how much of that had an effect on the game, 99 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: but like the travel, tough stretch, tough teams, you know, 100 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: I think that it was for them to come out 101 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: of that stretch. We're sitting where they are right now, 102 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: which is the best record in the AFC, tied with 103 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 3: other teams. There's other teams that are there, but three 104 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 3: to eight weeks, the Ravens are tied with the Chiefs, 105 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: with the Dolphins, and with the Jaguars for the best 106 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 3: record in the AFC. 107 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what, they also extended their lead 108 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: in the AFC North, right, it was a one game lead. 109 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: They extended that to two games with the Browns and 110 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: Steelers losing also, And that's big, you know, in a 111 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: really good AFC North where now the Bengals are four 112 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: and three and they're getting hot, right, but the Ravens 113 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: have a two game lead kind of two games in 114 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: the wing column on all three of those teams. That's big. 115 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: So let's bring it down a little bit further here, Garrett, 116 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: and I do want to jump in to the defense here, 117 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: first of all, because I thought it was a good 118 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: defensive game, right, I mean, you limit the Cardinals to 119 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: seven points for most of the game, and now they bled. 120 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: You know, they got two touchdowns late in this one. 121 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: Like your point, it became a little close to than 122 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: we all wanted, and dragged on the final result later 123 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: into the night. But I thought, overall, it was a 124 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: good defensive performance, but not their best. Once again to 125 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: the theme of the. 126 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: Day, Yeah, I thought the defense it was kind of 127 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: a playmaking defense, really. I mean, they, like the Cardinals 128 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: moved the ball far better than I expected him to. 129 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 3: Like I coming into this game, I was like, I 130 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 3: don't see how the Cardinals moved the ball in this defense. 131 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 3: Like the Ravens I think have I think they have 132 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 3: got the best defense in the NFL, and I just like, 133 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 3: I don't see really a recipe. 134 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: For the Cardinals to move the ball consistently on this defense. 135 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: We all thought it was going to be Marquise Brown, right. 136 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: We thought, if the Cardinals score on offense, it's going 137 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: to be a big play to Hollywood, right right, And 138 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: it turned out to be kind of the opposite. It 139 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: was the Cardinals were getting in all these little jabs. 140 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: It was the Ravens who were throwing the haymakers with 141 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: the big plays defensively. 142 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And so that surprised me. You know, the 143 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: opening series of the game and they marched down the 144 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 3: field and score a touchdown. Now there were some pelalantes 145 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: is obviously that helped them on that march. It was 146 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 3: looking like it was setting up, you know, it was 147 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: setting up. At a Bik gets the sack and then 148 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: there's the phansom flag, which you never even saw a 149 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: replay of. 150 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: The KYLEA Hanna I was waiting for that replay. I 151 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 2: was like, can we see the replay here? I wanted 152 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 2: this is legit. 153 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: You know, took a sack off the board from at 154 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 3: a Bik that would have caused a three and out, 155 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 3: and it felt like, okay, here we go defenses. Defense 156 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 3: is locked in. Instead, they end up going eighty yards 157 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: and scored a touchdown and then it's like, okay, this 158 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: is gonna be an interesting one. So again that surprised me. 159 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: But like again going back to the theme, which is 160 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: like being able to win a game when you don't 161 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: have your best Okay, so how do you make up 162 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: for that? 163 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: Okay? 164 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 3: Well you come up with turnovers and you know the 165 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: Brandon Stevens won that was that was a gimme. That 166 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 3: was a layup that was thrown right to him, but 167 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: he made the play. 168 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: I don't know that that was a layout. You don't think. 169 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: I mean, it was thrown to him, but that was 170 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: not an easy catch. I mean he rifled that thing. 171 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: It was high. 172 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: It was an errant thrown for sure. Right, But like 173 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: I've seen many a dB drop that ball. Let's just 174 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: be Franks. Yeah, I mean that that that was a laser. 175 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: It got up on him and it was It was 176 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: a nice catch by Brandon Stevens. 177 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: I think you gotta give him credit. I'll give him credit. 178 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: Get I don't want to say Brandon Stevens friend of 179 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: the lounge, Okay, I don't want to take anything away 180 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: from him. 181 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: So well, I kind of take him away. 182 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I retracted it. I retracted that statement. 183 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: That was as hard as it gets. 184 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean a big play. 185 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean, really him and then Gino, Right, I mean 186 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: the Brandon Stevens play. Right at the end of the 187 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: first half, it's a tie ball game. At that point, 188 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have the ball. They're trying to get a league. 189 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: Going into halftime, you're like, you know, you're still very 190 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: much in this could go in either direction kind of mode, 191 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: and the Ravens offense was struggling. He gets that pick 192 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens six plays later there in the end zone. 193 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: Now it's fourteen to seven, and you feel like with 194 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: the way the defense is playing this year and generally 195 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: in this game, like, okay, I feel good about where 196 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens are. But then to your point, the Cardinals 197 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: still didn't go away after that, right, Like, the Ravens 198 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: didn't really extend it until kind of late the third 199 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: quarter early fourth quarter, because it was fourteen seven when 200 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: Geno Stone. 201 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: Got his final interception of the year. 202 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: I know, he steps in front of one and then 203 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: the Ravens again punched in behind Gus Edwards. Now, okay, 204 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: we have a fourteen point lead. This ball game is basically. 205 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: Over, right, except it was great. 206 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't take a little bit longer. And I 207 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 3: guess again that was kind of the theme of this thing, 208 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: where it just bect like, all right, now they're just 209 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 3: gonna kind of put this thing away and then and 210 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 3: then it just took longer for that to happen. And 211 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: then the Geno one is really what sealed it, and 212 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: then obviously the ensuing the ensuing score. 213 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: But it is crazy, though, to think about two guys 214 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: who make the biggest plays on defense, Geno Stone Brandon Stevens. 215 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: Who would have who would have guessed those guys at 216 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, right, I mean, here you go, 217 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: Geno Stone, a guy who's been a backup his entire 218 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: NFL career. I talked to Gino in the locker room 219 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: this week and it was really funny. I was like, 220 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, he was leading the league in interceptions entering 221 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: this game, right with four, And I said, Gino, did 222 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: you ever grow up thinking, like dreaming that one day 223 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: you would lead the league in interceptions? And he was like, no, 224 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: I never, I never even dreamt that as a kid. 225 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: You know. He was like, I thought I was gonna 226 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: be a baseball player, quite frankly, huh, But here he is, 227 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, the guy who wrote down his like preseason 228 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: interceptions like goal was three. 229 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 2: Yeah. 230 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's got five, Yeah, he's got five. 231 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: It's incredible. 232 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: You know what I also thought was funny on his 233 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: interceptions today, like now I think that there is something 234 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: to like success breeds confidence and so, like on his 235 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: interceptions today, you know, Brandon Steve is probably sitting there thinking, 236 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get am I gonna two interception game? I mean, 237 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: that was going right to Brandon Stevens. It looked like 238 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: he was sizing it up. You know, he had his 239 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: hands up there, he was ready to make that catch. 240 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: And then also Geno Stone, you know, ballhawk comes crashing 241 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: across right in his face and makes it play and 242 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 3: they's like, what. 243 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: The hell do you know? You already lead the league. 244 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: May ask for the wealth here, man, let me get something, 245 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 2: Let me get out of this action. 246 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: And so. But but like just the way that he's 247 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: playing like that, like that was that was an instinctive 248 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 3: play and to kind of come across and make that 249 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: catch along the sidelines that I thought that, like that 250 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: was just a really nice play by Geno, And I 251 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 3: think it shows that, like he's confident back there as 252 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: a ballhawk, and that's you know, and that is part 253 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: of the reason that he's having so much success. And 254 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: I think that like it kind of speaks to the 255 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 3: team a little bit too, Like when we talk about 256 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 3: the team being able to win in different ways and 257 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 3: they're in first place. I think that this team really 258 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: does feel like they are good, like they feel like 259 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: they are a legitimate, very good team on both. 260 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 2: Sides of the ball. 261 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 3: And when you have guys like Geno Stone and Brandon 262 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: Stevens making plays, I think it just builds that confidence 263 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 3: and I think that that is allowing this team in 264 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 3: part to play to the level that they are. 265 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: For sure. 266 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: I think Brandon Stevens is a great example of that 267 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: talk about a guy playing with confidence. I mean, you know, 268 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: kind of similar to Gino's story, like a guy that 269 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: just is just coming out of nowhere. Was a he 270 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: was a college running back at UCLA who's been a 271 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: reserve Swiss Army knife in the Ravens secondary is first 272 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: couple of years in the league, and now nobody would 273 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: have pegged Brandon Stevens as the Ravens starting cornerback opposite 274 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey and playing lights out. Nobody predicted that in 275 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: our season Predictions pod. You can go back and listen 276 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: to that one. Nope, oh for two on that. And 277 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: so for him to come in and be playing as 278 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: well as he is, get his second interception today, and 279 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't just that I thought he just had a 280 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: great game overall today. That's just another case in point 281 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: to these guys who are having career years that nobody 282 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: would have expected and playing with such confidence every time. 283 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: Every week we talked to Brandon Stevens in the locker room, 284 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: he's brimming with confidence. 285 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it, but. 286 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 3: It is clear, like it is abundantly clear that he's like, 287 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: he's not really scared. I thought it was a good 288 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: stat on the broadcast today that he's been targeted more 289 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 3: than any other player in the NFL. 290 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 2: And you know, you have a. 291 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 3: Pro Bowl corner on the other side of Marlin Humphrey, 292 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 3: and you have Brandon Stevens, who you know, most people 293 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: didn't know coming into the season. They're like, all right, 294 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 3: we'll take our chances. We'll just go at him. And 295 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 3: he's held up more than well, he's been playing great, 296 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 3: and so that confidence is very apparent. I love what 297 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: I'm seeing from him. Yeah, like when you have when 298 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 3: you're at this point, and even Marlin said in the 299 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: locker room this wheel like no one had Geno Stone 300 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: on their Bengo card leading the NFL in interceptions, and 301 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 3: so like when you have Gino and Brandon as the 302 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: guys that are like making these plays for this defense, 303 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: and like and Jdevian Clowney, Like you know, there's like 304 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: Kyle van Noy past couple of games like those type 305 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 3: of guys that like go back to I don't know, June, 306 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 3: you did not expect that, and now you're getting that 307 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: kind of production. I think it's great. 308 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Well, and we're leaving out the guy who maybe had 309 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: the best defensive game of the Yeah, totally its nose 310 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: tackle Michael Pierce. So you're talking about surprising defense and 311 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: performances you don't you don't also predict the big game 312 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: from the nose tackle, making the splash plays of the 313 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: game from the nose tackle. Right two fourth down stops 314 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: for Michael Pierce plus a sack strip that's a that 315 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: is a game, an all timer for a nose tackle 316 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: right there. And so I mean if he doesn't, if 317 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: Michael Pierce he gets got one by with a batted ball, 318 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: had another where he just stoned the running back at 319 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage for no game on fourth and one. 320 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: If he doesn't make those stops in the first half, 321 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: it could be an entirely different game. We're talking about 322 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: how the Ravens were you know, it was a tie 323 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: ball game at seven to seven, or they're up fourteen 324 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: to seven, like it could have been the other way. 325 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: The Cardinals could have had an early lead, and I 326 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: think that would have really helped them get some momentum. 327 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: Those were big momentum plays by Michael Pierce. 328 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 3: What would your reaction be if you know your Josh 329 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 3: Dobbs and you see, you know, big Michael Pierce coming 330 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 3: down hill at you just basically he sheds off the 331 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: blockers and he is just run down hill at you 332 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: on that sack. 333 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Michael, if that's me, Michael Pierce is gonna 334 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: have to take me down for a sixty yard loss 335 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: because I'm running the other way. Yeah, so I'm gonna 336 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: make him go sixty yards. He might get me, Yeah, 337 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: he probably will, but it's going to be back there. 338 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean when he came through it, that is 339 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 3: a scary site for a quarterback. And Dobbs obviously ended 340 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: up fumbling on that play. I think I think Clowney 341 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: was he was thinking about his touchdown dance. You know, 342 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 3: he tried to definitely. 343 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: His eyes on the end zone on that play. 344 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: Yep. 345 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: I mean that one again. 346 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: I was just thinking back to the Colts game and 347 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: the fumble that they didn't drop. 348 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: You know, you're just like, come on, ye yeah, we 349 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: cannot do this again right right now. 350 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: I think Michael Pierce, like he's a really nice story, 351 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: and I think that like with him, just go back 352 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 3: to like his his story. Like it's been a tough 353 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 3: few years for him. You know, goes to Minnesota, sits 354 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: out the COVID season, then plays but is injured and 355 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: never really kind of maximizes his potential in Minnesota. Then 356 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 3: he comes back last year, he starts strong, gets hurt, 357 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 3: you know, spends the rest of the year on IR 358 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: and then it comes back this year and it's kind 359 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: of like, hey, it's you know, it's been several years 360 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 3: now since like you've been a big time playmaker. He 361 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: knows it, and he comes out this year and he's 362 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 3: just playing consistent. He's been healthy up to this point, 363 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 3: and today he kind of it all kind of came 364 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: together for him perfectly. He's making plays in the run game, 365 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: making plays in the past game. Just really happy for 366 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 3: him for a guy that's, you know, had had an 367 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: up and down NFL career, and I thought this was 368 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 3: This was the culmination of kind of years of work 369 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 3: for him. 370 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: The Ravens have plenty of stars on their defense, but 371 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: today's defensive performance was all about the unherald again. 372 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: Yes right, you know. 373 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,479 Speaker 1: He got Rokwan, p Q, Marlin, all these star players, 374 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: and today we're sitting here talking about Geno Stone, Brandon 375 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: Stevens and the nose tackleed Michael Pierce. 376 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: Yep, yep, pretty great point. Great point. 377 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: The last thing on defense before we wrap up is 378 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: I do think you know, the run defense was a 379 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: surprising part here, and Michael even talked about that there 380 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: were too many Cardinals running backs that we're getting through 381 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: the front defensive line kind of unscathed. And I would 382 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: say that they ran for one hundred and twenty. 383 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: Nine yards today. 384 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: The Cardinals did, and that was more than I certainly expected. Now, 385 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: they ran a lot thirty two, but still one hundred 386 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: and twenty nine yards of rushing against this Ravens defense 387 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: without James Connor, who's on IR for the Cardinals, was 388 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: not the kind of performance I expected. And Michael Pierce 389 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: even said after the game, you know, we know, especially 390 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: with Seattle coming in next week, Kenneth Walker, you know, 391 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to straighten out that run. 392 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 393 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 3: Like the defense, certainly after the game, the attitude or 394 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 3: the in talking with him, it was not like, oh, 395 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: that was a great game and you know, high fives 396 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 3: all the way around, like Michael Pierce said, that was 397 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 3: probably a worst game since the Colts game. Yeah, and 398 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 3: that we've got work to do. So they they are 399 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: coming out of that feeling like they've got worked to 400 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 3: clean up and things that they got to improve on. 401 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: Plus you know those two late touchdowns that just I know, 402 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: I know, it just bothers you. 403 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 3: That chaps right there, It bothers you and just feels like, 404 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 3: you know, you felt like, okay, this is going to 405 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 3: be a two touchdown win. Then all of a sudden 406 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 3: it gets kind of close. I thought it was kind 407 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 3: of funny, like Mark Andrew's made the point that, like, 408 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 3: you know, we probably should have blown him out now 409 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 3: it like and then he kind of said, you know, 410 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 3: in reality, kind. 411 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: Of it kind of was. It kind of was a 412 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: blowout that. 413 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 3: Just exactly. And but I think the defense is certainly 414 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 3: gonna be bothered. Like they they they want to be 415 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 3: the number one defense in the league in every statistical category. 416 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 3: And so when you give up yards and points like 417 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 3: they did today, that is going to bother them. 418 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. I like that though, you know, I don't like 419 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: it on tape that it happened, but I kind of 420 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: like what it does for the mentality. 421 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, yeah, hungry, hungry. All right. 422 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: So a lot of talk about the defense, but let's 423 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 3: take a quick break and then when we come back, 424 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 3: we'll dive into the offensive side of the ball and 425 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: also look at what's ahead for this team.

And Gus 449 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: Edwards had three touchdowns. That's a good day, right, But 450 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: I think that the passing offense never really got in 451 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: sync at any point of the game. I mean Mark 452 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: Andrews was the leading receiver with forty yards. Lamar threw 453 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: for a buck fifty seven. 454 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, again, the game just kind of felt disjointed and 455 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 3: on the touchdown. You know, the turnovers did put the 456 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 3: Ravens in some good positions obviously, which was which was 457 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: huge for the team. But it's hard to like pinpoint 458 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 3: exactly why the offense wasn't in a groove, Like, what's 459 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 3: your take as to why they were kind of you know, 460 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 3: a little bit lackluster out of the gate. 461 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna have to come back for the film 462 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: breakdown podcast that we do. But my analysis was that 463 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: it looked like the Cardinals were dropping a lot of 464 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: people in the coverage and then they were still winning 465 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: up front. The Ravens were having a little trouble in 466 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: pass pro and some of that I think was footing 467 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: issues that we saw on the field, but a lot 468 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: of this, a lot of the pressure on Lamar looked 469 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: like coverage sacks, slash pressure where he wasn't getting the 470 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: ball out necessarily, there wasn't an easy an easy read, 471 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: and then pressure eventually kind of collapsing in. 472 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 473 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 3: So a couple of things that I thought were interesting postgame. 474 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 3: One is that you know, John Harrorball and Lamar Jackson 475 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 3: both talked about how it was pretty past heavy game 476 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 3: plan in the first half and they kind of they 477 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 3: flipped the script on that in the second half. They 478 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 3: went more run heavy and they rode the bus. Okay. 479 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 3: But the other part that I thought was interesting from 480 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 3: Lamar is that he sounded to me like they wanted 481 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 3: to push the ball down the field, that maybe they 482 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 3: felt like there were some downfield opportunities, because Lamar talked 483 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 3: about the pressure that was in his face at times, 484 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 3: and it was for some late breaking you know, basically 485 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 3: routes that are late developing. You know, you got to 486 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 3: wait to see those things down the field. So it 487 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 3: sounds to me like they were they came out wanting 488 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: to throw, and they came out wanting to throw the 489 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 3: ball down on the field, not quick stuff. And then 490 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 3: as a result, I think, I think, if if they're 491 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 3: dropping a lot of people in coverage, you're you're necessary. 492 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 3: You're generally speaking, gonna have to have a little bit 493 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 3: longer route. Step right, they're clouding the picture, the immediate picture, 494 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 3: and so you can still win in that, but it's 495 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: gonna take a little bit more time. And the Cardinals 496 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 3: were getting credit to the Cardinals defense. Like, like I said, 497 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 3: they came in ranked among the bottom of the league, 498 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: but I thought they played pretty darn well. 499 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 2: I was impressed. They were flying around. 500 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: It was I think they were confused. You know, a 501 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: lot of guys just kind of standing at the line 502 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. It wasn't clear who was coming who wasn't. 503 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: I thought that the Cardinals defense impressed me, and so 504 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: I think that the Ravens also one of the one 505 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: of the critiques coming out of the Lions game was that, yeah, 506 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, it was a huge offensive day for the Ravens, 507 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: but when you go back and watch even the Kurt 508 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: Warner breakdown that made news this week, and even Todd 509 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: Monkin referenced it and said, yeah, there's some truth to 510 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: that stuff. We did a lot, right, but there is 511 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: some truth to what he said, And what Kurt Warner 512 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: was saying is a lot of stuff in the Ravens 513 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: passing game, even in the Detroit win over Detroit, isn't 514 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: happening on time, right. It's like it's it's Lamar making 515 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: a play, he's getting out. You know. Obviously the touchdown 516 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: the Nelson Agalore next last week is a case in 517 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: point in that, but still not operating in the passing 518 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: game quite on time, in rhythm necessarily, And I think 519 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: maybe that's kind of what the Cardinals were trying to 520 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: pounce on a little bit, is to make Lamar hold 521 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: the ball and then try to collapse that pocket and 522 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: get some pass rush, and they were pretty successful in 523 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: doing that. And the Ravens ultimately said, all right, if 524 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna drop a bunch of people in coverage. We're 525 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: just gonna run it down your throat with her. 526 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I also thought too, it was It's kind of 527 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: interesting because, like I thought, Lamar was pretty sharp, Like, 528 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: I don't think he played a poor game. You know, 529 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: I thought he was to put the ball on the mund. 530 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 3: He made some nice throws. I thought he had good command, 531 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 3: which he's continued like, I don't think that he you know, 532 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: he's firmly in the MVP conversation and I don't feel 533 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 3: like this game honestly helped to hurt him. I think 534 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 3: he's probably right where he was in that conversation after 535 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 3: this game, and I just feel like, again, he was sharp. 536 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 3: I think he played well, but it was a disjointed 537 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: game honestly, both sides of the ball. And like then 538 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 3: in the second half, once once the bus got rolling, 539 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: it was pretty clear like he's the closer. Just keep 540 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 3: feeding him, and that's what the Raves did. I also, 541 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: can I take this. I would like to take a 542 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 3: victory lap here, go round ringing the stadium, high five 543 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 3: all the fans who are here, and just point to that. 544 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna point out here, like my 545 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 3: victory lap here is. 546 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 2: I really don't. 547 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 3: There's there's so many victory the victory lap here is. 548 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 3: I told you earlier this season, after we had the 549 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 3: Gus on the pot, I was like, there's gonna be 550 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 3: games this year where he gets he's the closer and 551 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 3: he gets fifteen plus touches a game. And you were like, no, 552 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 3: he's not. They're gonna just keep this committee thing rolling. 553 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 3: You're giving me this look, we're gonna have to pull 554 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 3: up the tape here. 555 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,959 Speaker 1: I wish that people could see the video of this 556 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: right now, Like, what are you talking. 557 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,479 Speaker 3: I was like, I'm telling you there's gonna be games 558 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 3: where Gus gets fifteen plus carry. 559 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: Well you were like, no way, no way, And here 560 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: he is. 561 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: He's got nineteen carries for eighty yards and then he 562 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 3: also caught two passes for fourteen yards. 563 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: So I don't think I said that there there would 564 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: never be a game this season that Gus would get 565 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: over fifteen care. 566 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I did not say, Bryson hit the tape. 567 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 3: Let's hit the tape right now. 568 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 2: All right, I'm going there will not be a game. 569 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: There will not. 570 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: Be a game this year where Gus gets twenty plus 571 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: touches boom. 572 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: All right, I can't wait to bring That's no shame 573 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: on Gus.

He was on 584 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 3: the line out there bus running the ball, well, piling 585 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: on the bus. 586 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: He's just opening the door, get on, kids, piling on 587 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: the bus. 588 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 2: Let's go. 589 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: And and you know, I think that the interesting conversation 590 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: here is we're, what now, two days away from the 591 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: trade deadline, and there's been a whole lot of chatter 592 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: in Baltimore about the possibility that the Ravens could go 593 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: get a running back, right, been a whole lot of 594 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: chatter about Derrick Henry. Well, you know, Derrick Henry's pretty physical, 595 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: good closer. At the end of the games, the Gus 596 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: buss just closed this one out and said, all right, 597 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: I think I think we're doing all right in this categy. 598 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. And the other thing too is John Harball was 599 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 3: asked by the running backs after the game and he, 600 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 3: you know, I don't know if it was at all 601 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: in reference to some of the chatter that's been out. 602 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: There, that's what the question was in reference to exactly. 603 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 3: The question was about basically the confidence that he has 604 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 3: in the running backs, and uh, he said, oh, we're 605 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 3: really confident, and he talked about of course Gus just 606 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 3: he'll also Keith Mitchell, who was inactive today, so the 607 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 3: Ravens really like and then even playing out there, of. 608 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: Course he's gonna say that. 609 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: Let's I mean, honestly, he's not gonna be like, yeah, 610 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: we don't have much confidence right after the you know, 611 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: Gus scores three touchdowns. But you know, so I say that, like, 612 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh, this game 613 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: means there's zero chance that the Ravens go out and 614 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: make a move at running back. 615 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that. 616 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: But I think Gus Edwards made a nice statement today 617 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: about who he is, as. 618 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: If there was any confusion. Yeah, yeah, I agree, I agree. 619 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that this this game, the 620 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: weird part about offense. Like I said, forty receiving yards 621 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: was tops for Mark Andrews, who, by the way, in 622 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: his return to Arizona scores a touchdown going back home, 623 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: his first pro game back in Arizona. 624 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 2: You had to feel good for him. 625 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: But you know, Zay Flowers, you know, five catches for ninety, 626 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, like never really was able to get loose. 627 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: And then Odell Beckham, you know, four targets, zero catches. 628 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: That's an odd line for Adell. Now he got he 629 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: drew two defensive pass interference calls which helped set up 630 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: Raven's touchdowns. 631 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 2: But a weird game for Odell. 632 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: And you can tell that they're really trying to They're 633 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: trying to feed him a little bit. And Lamar Jackson 634 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: even said it after the game. 635 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 2: We're you know, he's. 636 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: Like, there's those pass interference calls are great, but I'm 637 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: trying to get my guy touchdown. 638 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: And you can tell that Odell is extremely hungry. Oh yeah, totally. 639 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 3: And I think that, I mean, he wants to help 640 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 3: his team in variety of ways, you know, I think 641 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 3: and this is a guy that like took a huge 642 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 3: shot in this game and had to leave briefly but 643 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: then came back. 644 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: He wants to score. I don't blame him. 645 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 3: And he's had you know, there's it feels like he's 646 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 3: drawing a number of I don't know what the number 647 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: is in terms of the past interference penalties that he's 648 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 3: drawn this year. 649 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 2: But he's really good at that. 650 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: He's got an act. 651 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a n act for that. That's like 652 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 3: part of the veteran savvy that he has. And but 653 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: I yeah, you're right, he would much prefer not to 654 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 3: have the pass interference one late and have the touchdown 655 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 3: because he was gonna score a touchdown on that play 656 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 3: if there weren't the PI. 657 00:27:58,920 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: Yep, yep. 658 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 2: Two other notes. 659 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: I just want to point out Hollywood Brown gets a 660 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: touchdown against his former team. Wasn't a huge game for him. 661 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: Six catches for thirty three yards, but he does get 662 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: the score. It saw the hug between he and Lamar 663 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: Jackson after the game. You know, there's been a lot 664 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: said about Hollywood among the Ravens fans, even when he 665 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: was in Baltimore. You and I have always thought that 666 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: Hollywood's a good player, you know, and probably underappreciated generally 667 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: speaking in Baltimore amongst fans at least, you know, probably 668 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: also wishes you are on the other side here winning 669 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: more games than he has been. But you feel good 670 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: for him. Didn't want to see him score a touchdown, 671 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: but like, you know, feel good about him and and. 672 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 3: For so if you if you want everyone to succeed, 673 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: like that's the nice touchdown to get. You know, it's 674 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: not complete garbage touchdown at the end of the game. 675 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: That doesn't matter, yea like time buddy, sure exactly, you 676 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: can have it. But then, I mean the two point 677 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: conversion stide was a big sick. 678 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: It was a big stop. It was a big stop. 679 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: Especially it would have been an eight point game. That 680 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: was a big stop. And so that that's one little note. 681 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: And then what was up with the turf? 682 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, if you you know the Super Bowl, you 683 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: know there was a lot of complaints about the about 684 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: the turf. It clearly was chewed up. You could see 685 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 3: on the broadcast and into some of the photos. The 686 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 3: guys are slipping. I mean Ronnie Stanley slipped on a 687 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 3: play that Lamar got sacked on, and it seemed like 688 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 3: basically his footing was what led to that sack. Justice 689 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 3: Hill slipped on a play where he was kind of 690 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 3: snuck out there and looked like he z may have Yeah, 691 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 3: Zay did, I think a couple of times, and so 692 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 3: I don't know what was up with it. I don't 693 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 3: know it was new turf, but it clearly had an 694 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 3: impact on the game, and I don't know what the 695 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 3: deal was with it. 696 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: Then. Uh, lastly, little point here about the the officiating. 697 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals were a little upset about it. 698 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: You know, there was first the call and Kyle Hamilton 699 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals opening driver, like we said, we want 700 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: to see that replay. But then there was the ball 701 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: that got moved back on the fourth down spot. 702 00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 2: Uh, that was a little bit of an odd one. 703 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: And then a huge call for the Ravens didn't end 704 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: up being that big because Justin Tucker missed the field goal, 705 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 1: but the sacks strap on Lamar that ended up being 706 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: reversed on replay were some big calls there could have been. Yes, Yeah, 707 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: So the Ravens kind of, you know, the Ravens I 708 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: feel like, have had like bad luck for much of 709 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: the year in a variety of different ways. They kind 710 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: of had a little bit of good luck in this game. 711 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards had the fumble that he fell right on 712 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: top of and recovered. There's the play that Bateman basically 713 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: snatched an interception. 714 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,479 Speaker 2: Was a great play from Bait. 715 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: That was a great play by Bateman. You know, there 716 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: were some moments in this where it was like, oh 717 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: and then okay, all right, we kind of dodged one there. 718 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, just real quick, I thought, I'm encouraged by what 719 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 3: I've seen from Bateman in the past few weeks. I 720 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 3: feel like he's talking about gaining confidence and getting more 721 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 3: involved that end around play. Like he's not a guy 722 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 3: that I naturally think of as an end around candidate. 723 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 3: But that was a nice run that he had on 724 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 3: that play, really nice play on the Actually it was 725 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 3: like it would have been good just to be a 726 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 3: pass breakup. He ended up snatching that ball and getting 727 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 3: a big play down the field. So I'm encouraged by 728 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 3: the way Bateman's playing right now. And the Ravens needed 729 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 3: you know, it's like it's been it's been a tough 730 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 3: stretch here with the travel like London and now Arizona, 731 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 3: but now they come home and they've got a nice 732 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 3: situation on the home front. You know, the opponents are 733 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,479 Speaker 3: tough coming up with Seattle this week. I mean, that's 734 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 3: gonna be a tough game. Seattle just beat the Browns today, so. 735 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: Come back, yeah, come back in the last minute of 736 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: the game. They're gonna be riding high, they're. 737 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 3: Righting high, and they're one of the top teams in 738 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: the NFC, and so that is gonna be a difficult game. 739 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 3: But the Ravens have three straight games at home. They've 740 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 3: got three home games in twelve days, So get comfortable 741 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,479 Speaker 3: at the bank, folks, because it's gonna be rocking, and 742 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be nice after spending all this time 743 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 3: away to have a nice little stretch here at home. 744 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: Six and nine, six of the last nine, and you're 745 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: sitting a top the AFC right now at six and two. 746 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: That's a good position. 747 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: To be in if you're the Ravens, for sure. 748 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: So thank you for listening. 749 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: Make sure you email us at the lounge at ravenst 750 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: NFL dot net.
