1 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. This is not 2 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: a size him up Monday. Ravens are coming off a 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: tough loss forty one the seventeen to the Cincinnati Bengals 4 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: at home. Not used to see him many lopsided scores 5 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 1: like this, not in the Ravens favor, Garrett. It's a 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: kind of a weird feeling this Monday. Yeah, it is. 7 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, since Lamar Jackson has been the quarterback, the 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: Ravens have really never been blown out like this. I mean, 9 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: this is the first time that he'd ever been pulled 10 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: out of a game because the score was so lopsided 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: in the other direction. You know, we're used to seeing 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: him kind of hang out on the sidelines in the 13 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Uh yeah, against the Bengals wearing the oakly shade, right, 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: And so I think this this was a game that 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: that surprised myself, I think a lot of people, especially 16 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: with the way that the Ravens looked the previous week. 17 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a clear example of why coaches 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: say it's a week to week league, and you always 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: thank you very much. This is exactly what I was 20 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: saying last week, Garrett, and you were mocking me for 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: what I was saying. You can't get too high, you 22 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: can't get too low, right, It's just you blow out 23 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: the chargers and you get blown out by the bags 24 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: at a time, all the whole all the stuff about 25 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: who's the super Bowl contender? You know, Oh, they're the 26 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: favorites there in first place, nafcy, Who cares? We got 27 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: eleven weeks lift up. There's a lot of there's obviously 28 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: a lot of time left long season, So I think 29 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: any snap judgments is premature. I mean, I think that 30 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: you can you can draw themes and trends based on 31 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: how teams look over the course of six weeks. I 32 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 1: would say, sure, but you're you're doing your best coach. 33 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: You like to do your best coach impression. I get it. 34 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: I get it. Look, look, I'm not I'm not arguing 35 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: that you can. There are takeaways, Like you see a trend, right, 36 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: I think we see a trend. The Ravens running backs 37 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: are not going to explode, not going to set records 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: this year, right, Like that's a trend that I'm seeing, right, 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: And but like to say, like based off of one game, 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: like oh man, now they're the best team in the 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: a f C. You know, it's like, well, the best 42 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: team in the ANFC can get beaten any any week, 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: you know. Like now, now it's it's really funny. Now 44 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: it's the opposite. Right now, all the Bengals writers are like, 45 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: the Bengals have arrived. They're no longer you know, they're 46 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: for real. They're they're super Bowl contenders. I read this morning. 47 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: Oh my god, as soon as the Bengals start talking 48 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: like that, they're gonna get smacked. Well, well, I mean 49 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: I do think the Bengals are a good team. Um, 50 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're a good team. I'm just 51 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: saying it's just like funny being like, well, the Bengals 52 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: are now the best team in the a f C 53 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: because they have the best record in the a f 54 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: C right now, Like okay, like whatever, you can see, 55 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: they're they're one of the best teams. Sure, sure, but 56 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: like they can get beat just like the Ravens just 57 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: got sack. Yeah, there is true. At any given Sunday, 58 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: any team can win. All that. All that is true. 59 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: I still think that the Ravens are are one of 60 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: the best teams in the f C. The Bengals are 61 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: right there too. I think that this is a this 62 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: is an indication, which is what we all knew, is 63 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: that like, this is not gonna at any stretch be 64 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: a cake walk. And I think a lot of people, 65 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: ourselves included, you know, after you beat the Chargers thirty 66 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: four to six and you're having to size them up Monday, 67 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: you go through the schedule and you're like, Okay, Bengals win, 68 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: Vikings win, Bears win, Dolphins win. Oh, it's gonna be 69 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: nine and one before you just blink and it's gonna 70 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: be nine and one. And I think that a lot 71 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: of people you probably fall into that trap and you forget, oh, well, okay, 72 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: the Bengals actually are you know, they're they're a really 73 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: good team, and they've got a dynamic player who's probably 74 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: gonna be the rookie of the year. They've got a 75 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: second year quarterback is a former number one overall pick 76 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: who's planned like it, and they've got a retool defense 77 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: that is making life really hard on teams. So it's 78 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: easy to like go back to sort of the mindset 79 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: you have at the start of the season when you 80 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: do the schedule game and you just think, like, oh, 81 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: two wins for the Bengals go ahead and chuck those up. 82 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: Not necessarily, it doesn't work that way. And um, I 83 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: think that this is you know, I think that this 84 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: is this is a game that catches your attention as 85 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: a fan, you know, as you're watching. Okay, all right, 86 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: there's there's things that need to be corrected and fixed, 87 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: and I know, uh, I know that the Ravens are 88 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: back to work doing that, and that's gonna be the 89 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: focus of the buy. Yeah. I think that this was 90 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: a game in which the Ravens lost the golden opportunity 91 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: to really take a stronghold on the a f C North. Right, 92 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: if you beat the Bengals, your two games up. The 93 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: Browns are really banged up right now. You know, the 94 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: Steelers are playing better ball as of late. But like 95 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: you would have been two games up on the Bengals 96 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: and and nobody's looking like he would have been looking 97 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: like a huge threat, you know what I mean. Now, 98 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: now it's just a dog fight the rest of the way. 99 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: And so that's fine. That's where the Ravens are accustomed 100 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: to being. You know, most years a side like that's 101 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: what it usually is. And um, you know, I think 102 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: that this was a game in which the Ravens issues 103 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: kind of we talked about trends, right, some of these 104 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: issues that we've seen crop up in multiple games, they 105 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: all kind of came together at the same time in 106 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: this game, you know, and as the Ravens like overcame 107 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: all of them against the Chargers. They tackled well, the 108 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: secondary was really good. They got pressure on Justin Herbert, 109 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, all three running backs, scored a touchdown. You know, 110 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: the passing game was clicking. Kind of overcame all those 111 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: things in that game, and now we saw some of 112 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: these bug a booze that have been bothering the Ravens 113 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: throughout the season, and they've overcome. Well, when they all 114 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: happened in the same game and you give up big 115 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: plays the other team, it's hard to overcome. Yeah, I 116 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: mean when I when I was watching this game yesterday 117 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: and the things that that kind of stood out to me. 118 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: The offense it never seemed in rhythm at all really 119 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: the entire game, like they were moments I kind of 120 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: I kind of disagree. It's not like the offense didn't 121 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: move the ball like I mean, they were never like 122 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: really humming. I mean, they never got into like really humming, 123 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: but they were. There were definitely some stretches and then 124 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: they would just like stub their toe, I don't know, 125 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: punt punt, field goal, punt, and then he got off 126 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: to us. Then then they then they get then they 127 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: do get the touchdown, and then and then there's the 128 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: end a half if they get a touchdown coming out 129 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: a half time, and I think everyone felt like myself, 130 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: I certainly felt this way. You get the touchdown coming 131 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: out a halftime, and you're like, okay, here we go. 132 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: Locker room speech seventeen seventeen thirteen lead. You know, guys 133 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: got fired up in the locker room correcting some things. 134 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: This is not now. You're gonna take care of business 135 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: in the second half. And then the Bengals just answered, 136 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, Ravens over with the touchdown. Bengals come back 137 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: four places later, touchdown, and then Ravens get the ball 138 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: back punt and then and then Bengals get to touchdown. 139 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: All sudens the ten point game and the Ravens could 140 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: never race that deficit. That Ravens score, the Bengals score 141 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: twenty eight unanswered points. I don't know, I never I 142 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: just never felt like the offense was was cruising all 143 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: that much. I mean, yeah, they got they got the 144 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: touchdown here in the second half, and then then punt 145 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: punt turnover on downs, turnover and downs, punt turnover and downs. 146 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, that doesn't seem like a Holmed offense 147 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: to me. Well, I mean down the stretch, the last 148 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: the last whatever point punt, you know, punt downs all that. 149 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: That was Tyler Huntley in the game. But sure, I agree. 150 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: Like they got off to another slow start, which has 151 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: been a problem recently, Like they're just not getting off 152 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: two good starts, and then they kind of came out 153 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: of it a little bit. But there was a couple 154 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: of turning points in this game, and I'll point to 155 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: the one big one I think. You know, after the 156 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: Ravens go up seventeen thirteen, like we're talking about the 157 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: Bengals answer and just a blown coverage, you know, they 158 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: bite a multiple defenders bite on a fake screen, leave 159 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: c j Uzoma uh wide open for a thirty two 160 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Like that's deflating, Right, Bengals go up, Ravens 161 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: go back down, march it back down into Bengals territory. 162 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: You're in field goal range, right, You're at the Cincinnati 163 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: thirty four, right, so fifty one yard field goal at worst, 164 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: we're looking at here to tie the game. Lamar Jackson 165 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: takes a sack for minus seven in third and eight, 166 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: which is just the sack when you're in field goal range. 167 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: Can't happen on multiple levels. It can't happen from a 168 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: past protection level, you know, standpoint and the blocking was 169 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: not good on that play, and Lamar has to have 170 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: the presence of mine to get rid of that ball. 171 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: You can't take that sack, especially he was outside the 172 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: pocket and took it right. You can't take that. Now 173 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: it's fourth and fifteen from the Cincinnati forty one. The 174 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: Ravens are looking at a possible fifty eight yard field goal. 175 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: That's tough. Justin Tucker is the best in the game. 176 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: That's tough. Now. The Ravens also passed up a fifty 177 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: seven yard field goal earlier in the game when the 178 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: game was tied at three and three to three, and 179 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: I was saying, man, I would have tried to Justin 180 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 1: Tucker out there for it. You know, we saw the 181 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: Bengals kicker kick one from fifty two yards in the 182 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: same direction. I'll take Justin Tucker from five yards further 183 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: ended up calling for the punt team to come on 184 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: and Sam Cook put it into the end zone for 185 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: a touchback. So that's deflating, you know, Like there were 186 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: just some moments like that where it's just they were close, 187 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, really close, like you're in you're in range, 188 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: you're in field goal range at least get some points. 189 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: And then you have these deflating moments, you know, and 190 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: then Lamar took Lamar took the time out when you 191 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: should have just let the clock run down and get 192 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: the delayed game penalty. That was another like oh my gosh, 193 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? You know, when you end 194 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: up punting right, and then three three plays later, Jamar 195 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: Chase busting eighty two yard or miss tackles, multiple miss 196 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: tackles on third and two eighty two yard touchdown, and 197 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: now it's seventeen and you're like, what the hell has happened? 198 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: And the tough the tough thing about it, you know, 199 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: for fans, you talked about the decision making on on 200 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: deciding to punt on those situations rather than attent the 201 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: really long field goal, and if people are on the 202 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: reason you do that in that situation is if Tucker 203 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: misses and that's a tough kick, that's not I know, 204 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: we all assume that Justin Tucker is gonna just kick 205 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: it from the moon, and he's he's capable of that. 206 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: But I think it's that's a lot to assume that 207 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: that's always gonna be the case. But if you if 208 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: you I thought they would kick the first but if 209 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: you I thought that you missed that, then you basically 210 00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: give it. You give the other team the ball at 211 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: mid field on a short field And up to that 212 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: point it had been a low scoring, you know game. 213 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: You know, the defense had been playing well. They hadn't 214 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: rattled off unanswered points yet. Okay. So on the second one, 215 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: you know at that point that the score is seventeen Bengals, okay, 216 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: and so they make the decision that's pin them back, 217 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: try to get a stop by the defense, and they 218 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: get the ball back and you know, in a good 219 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: field position for the offense. The the issue is that 220 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, then it's three plays touchdown and 221 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: so you don't get the chance of the field goal, 222 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: and then it's a quick strike the other direction that 223 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: it's just like what exactly what you were trying to 224 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: avoid ends up happening and you don't get the opportunity 225 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: at the field goal to get the points on the board. 226 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: And it's just both of those. It happened in both situations. 227 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: Once two players touched down, the other three plays touchdown, 228 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: and that that those were really tough blows, no doubt 229 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: about it. Well. And then the other one was the 230 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: Ravens went for it on fourth and seven from their 231 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: own thirty eight with about twelve minutes left and they 232 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: were trailing by ten, which tells you what John Harball 233 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: thought about how the defense was playing at that point. 234 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I mean, uh, he's always he's 235 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: John's always aggressive and I I honestly in the moment 236 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: didn't bat and eye at it um. But it's indicative 237 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: of the defense wasn't stopping him at that point, and 238 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: you didn't think, like, to overcome a ten point deficit, 239 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: you you gotta get some stops, you know, So I 240 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: went for it. The Ravens failed then touchdown. You know. 241 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: Then the real daggers were the long runs for touchdowns. 242 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: Joe mix and twenty one yard run and uh p 243 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: Ryan forty six yard run on the next drive just 244 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: really turned what was. You know, the Ravens are still 245 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: in the game into a blower in the fourth quarter. 246 00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: So you know, I thought that Lamar wasn't his arpist 247 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: throwing the ball yesterday. You know, missed some throws outside 248 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: the hashes. You know, that's what we've talked about. And 249 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: he's made great strides and you know, one game, certainly, 250 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: I don't think speaks to doesn't make me worry about 251 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: Lard Jackson is, you know, certainly, but you know he 252 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: missed some throws earlier that that you complete those, it's 253 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: a different ball game and you get off to a 254 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: hotter start. So a lot of that, A lot of 255 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: the problems for him was pressure. I mean, he was 256 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: pressured on more than half of his dropbacks. It really 257 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: kind of was reminiscent of the Raiders game when Lamar 258 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: was just under a constant attack. Um obviously, you know, 259 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: the Bengals made some upgrades on the defensive line, got 260 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson, uh Ogan job. I thought that those guys 261 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: played really well. And when Patrick McCarey leaves the game, 262 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: you know, around halftime with a bumb ankle, now you've 263 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: got real issues. Tyree Phillips is in their right tackle, 264 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: which he's hasn't played since the end of last year. 265 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: Um So, at it all up, and it's just not 266 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: an easy day for the offense. Yeah, I thought, and 267 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: then the and then the run game, the lack of 268 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: a run game from the running back. I thought that 269 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: a lot of times you look at these games and 270 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: you can kind of it's the old the old adage 271 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: of the you know games. One of the trenches. I thought, 272 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: the Bengals really controlled kind of the line of scrimmage, 273 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: and they put Lamar under pressure and they stuffed the 274 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: Ravens run game. I mean, the Ravens end up with 275 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: more than a yards on the ground, but that's kind of, uh, 276 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: that's that's misleading because Lamar Jackson's got eighty eight of 277 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: those yards and a lot of those are on scrambles. 278 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: Um So, there, the running backs had eleven carries for 279 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: nineteen yards. It's not exactly a you know, I'm sorry, 280 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: eleven not exactly a breakout day. Um So, running backs struggle. 281 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: That was a past heavy I think I think that 282 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: Ravens kind of new, you know, early on it was 283 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: a past heavy attack. And the Bengals have they have 284 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: a good run defense. Their top ten in league against 285 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: the run. Um, they're good in the middle of their defense, 286 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: great safety, great linebackers, um. And so I thought that 287 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: they wanted to attack the edges, and they tried that. UM, 288 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: But then you gotta have time to do that also, 289 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: and so that's part of the challenges that Lamar was 290 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: constantly under. That pressure that you're talking about. I think 291 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: you can't turn. I mean that's like, that's that's a 292 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: when I think this offense is at its best. This 293 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: is kind of a no dust statement, but like, I 294 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: think that this offense has the ability, as we've talked 295 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: about previously, Okay, the run game or the passing game 296 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: is not working, well, you still have that ability to 297 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: pound the ball on the ground and pick up six 298 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: seven yards of carry and beat teams that way. Well, 299 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: they couldn't do that yesterday, and that's that puts you 300 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: in a tough spot. Um. Well, when the Bengals talked 301 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: about after the game, you know, the game plan was 302 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: shut down the run, which always is for the Ravens, 303 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: and the run really is Lamar Jackson right now right, 304 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: which you know, Lamar didn't have a bad yeah, and 305 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: he had his longest run was wiped out by holding 306 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: penalty that I think Lamar Jackson still makes that run 307 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: without that penalty quite frankly, but it was a hold 308 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,359 Speaker 1: on Villaneuva legit. I think it was a legitimate call um. 309 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: But anyway, like the the issue is if they take away, 310 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: if they're able to take away the run game, like 311 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: that's been the strategy ever since Lamar Jackson has been 312 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Right, but like sure, teams maybe could like 313 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: slow it down a little bit, but the Ravens could 314 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: still run the ball right. And now it's like if 315 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: teams are able to eliminate the running game outside of 316 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson scrambles and put it all on the passing attack. Well, 317 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: Lamar's made enough strides, I think, to beat teams, but 318 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: he's to do it every single to do it every week, 319 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: to do it consistently. When it's like all on the 320 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: passing game, I think it's it's not gonna happen every 321 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: single week. And also as part of that, I think 322 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: that it's it's even tougher when you got a team 323 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: like the Bankers who have you know they've got a 324 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: good safety and Jesse Bates where it's tough on the 325 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: tight end. Mark Andrews, who you know, he got he 326 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: got going a little bit early, but he was contained 327 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: in this game. Did not have a huge day. And 328 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: so Mark was such a huge part of the passing game. 329 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: So if you know, he might be the biggest part 330 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: of the passing game. Um, and if he's not having 331 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: a big day, it's it's tough and the rung game 332 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: is not working. Mark's not having a huge day, I 333 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be tough. Sledding and Lamar had constant 334 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: pressure of the entire game. So all right, well, let's 335 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: talk about the defense. I think, I think you know, 336 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: the the offense I don't think takes the majority of 337 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: the fall for this game. The Ravens defense struggled. They've 338 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: given up the most passing yards through seven games. Enfranchise 339 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: history so far. Uh and and and just the words 340 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: of the wise for listeners. We are going to come 341 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: back with the second podcast this week to talk about 342 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: some of the bigger issues. Right we're trying we're trying 343 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: to keep this specific to the Ravens Bengals game because 344 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna gonna do the big picture of the big 345 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: the big picture. To take a step back, it's bye week. 346 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna do the big pictures, not just issues, because 347 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of positive Still, that's the other thing here, guys, 348 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: Still five and two, Still five and two. All right, 349 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: we guys gotta remind ourselves we're all feeling low down 350 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: to the dumps right now on a Monday morning. Still 351 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: five and two. Um, yeah, but go ahead, do not 352 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: cut you off. So anyway, So we're gonna try to 353 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: keep this too, uh this game. But we we obviously 354 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: need to talk about the defense. You know, Marlon Humphrey 355 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: versus Jamar Chase, we had a clear winner in that 356 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: one yesterday the Bengals rookie number five overall pick put 357 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: up two d and one receiving yards. A lot of 358 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: it obviously came on that eight two yarder, but that 359 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: wasn't the only one. And uh, you know, it's surprising 360 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: to say the least. I mean, here's Marlin Humphrey, one 361 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: of the best cornerbacks in the game, one of the 362 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: Ravens highest paid players, he is the highest paid defensive player, 363 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: and rookie playing the seventh game put him skates. Yeah. Um, 364 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: and Marlin, you know, talked after the game and basically 365 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: said we kind of knew going into this that the 366 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: matchup between him and Jamar Chase was going to be critical, 367 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: and he, you know, said he took ownership of that, said, 368 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: I lost that matchup. Um, I put a lot on myself. 369 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: So you know, he tweeted after the game about it too, 370 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: about you how he has to get back in the 371 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: lab after that game. I think that he is certainly 372 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: aware and I have I guess I'm not worried. I'm 373 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: not worried about Marlin Humphrey long term or anything like that. 374 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna be able to bounce back, 375 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: and I still think that he's one of the best players. 376 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: But yesterday Jamar Chase got the better of him, and um, 377 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: part of it was on that a one yard or 378 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: no doubt. Well, it wasn't just that. When it was 379 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: the long touchdown to us Alma's first touchdown, he shook Marlin. Yea, 380 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: it was just a rough day. He just had a 381 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: rough day. He just had a rough day. UM. I 382 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: think that's there's kind of no bones about it. He 383 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: had a rough day. He took ownership of it, um, 384 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: But he's got to play better, and I think he will. 385 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: I I guess I don't know. I I for for 386 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: someone like Marlon, I just kind of look at that 387 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: and say, man, you just that's like a burn the tape. 388 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. For him, he plays at such a 389 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: high level that I'm not like concerned that this is 390 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: an indication of anything larger or anything like that. I 391 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: just feel like, had a bad day, got beat, and 392 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: I think he'll be able to bounce back from him. 393 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: And of course, yeah, I mean, guys gonna be that guy. 394 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: That guy's that guy is pretty good. He's probably gonna 395 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: be the rookie of the year. I mean, he's got 396 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: the most yards through seven games ever for a receiver 397 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: and since nineteen seventy you know, so pretty now. Part 398 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: of it is because he put up two hundred yesterday 399 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: against the Ravens. But the guy has been dynamic through 400 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: the first half of his career, and um first half 401 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: of his rookie season means yeah, sorry, first half season. 402 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: I wish this was the first half of his The 403 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: pasespecially here on the back nine. You know, it's it's 404 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: just as a sign note like for a decade, a 405 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: J Green torment to the Ravens. Oh I called this. 406 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: I tweeted this like Friday or Saturday night. I was like, 407 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: you know what number one priority is. Don't let Jamar 408 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: Chase become a j Green. The Ravens set the tone, 409 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: You set the tone. I blame you. I blame you 410 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: with the bad tone on Friday or Saturday, I blame you. 411 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna We're gonna take a quick break, 412 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: we come back.

All Right, I do 422 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: want to talk about what's wrong with the secondary as 423 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: a whole. Like I said, more passing yards allowed in 424 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: the seven games than any team in Fades franchise history. 425 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: But that's a little big picture. It's a little big picture. 426 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying we're gonna get We're gonna get 427 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: to that, because I'm confused that is happening. Um, especially 428 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: you know, Anthony Favorite started off strong, like, had a 429 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: fairly pretty strong game. I was like, I was fired 430 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: up after that. You know that opening series where they're 431 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: going after Favorite and he's breaking up passes and I'm like, Okay, 432 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: this guy, They're gonna test Favorite and he's ready for 433 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: the challenge. Yeah. I thought like at the beginning of 434 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: the game, everybody was like defense stepping up, come on, 435 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: come on, oh, come on, Oh, let's get together here. 436 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: And then it kind of flips, you know, the run 437 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: defense at the end of the game. I mean, that's 438 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: what turns it into a blowout. For the most part, 439 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: good but you can't have a letdown like that at 440 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: the end of the game. Um, that obviously not good. 441 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: But anyway, let's turn it into a little bit of 442 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: some positives coming out of this game. This has been 443 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: a doom and Gloom podcast. What did you see that 444 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: you liked coming out of Okay? Alright, alright, so so 445 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: we're doing the glass half full here to end the 446 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: day on a little bit of optimism, all right. I 447 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: like this, um, I like to what I do. Like 448 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: what I saw from the receiver's Rossie Bateman, in particular, 449 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: in his second game, he played forty six snaps, So like, 450 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: that's a good sign that he played forty five in 451 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: his first game, comes back and plays forty six, So 452 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: it's not like his workload took a step back or 453 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: that to me is an indication that he feels fully healthy. 454 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: He responded well to the opening game, that's a great sign. 455 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: Then he had three catches for a d r S. 456 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: He caught the ball well, got up field once he 457 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: got the ball in his hands. I'm just really encouraged 458 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: by what we're seeing from Rossie Baby, and I think 459 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: that his continued development is just gonna open up a 460 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: lot of things for the offense. And then the other thing, 461 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: for sure, is is there anything better than that Hollywood 462 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: Brown catch in the back of the end zone? Well, 463 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: I would say that Denver one, that's the only one 464 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: that's better. I don't know this one was. I'm giving it. 465 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm giving it to Denver. I'm sorry, this one's pretty nice, 466 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: but I'm giving it to his ability to I think 467 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: I might have said it to you in the press 468 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: box when the ball was in the air, I was like, 469 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: it's too far, too far, and I'm not gonna make that. 470 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 1: You said the same thing about I'm not gonna make 471 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: that mistake anymore. I did the same thing. I guess. Ever, 472 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: and then his ability to track it down well, to 473 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: me made this one just maybe maybe give it an edge, 474 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: maybe give it The edge was that he had to 475 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: like accelerate but also get both feed and bounds in 476 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. Like incredible awareness of 477 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: where you are in the field to make that catch 478 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: and get both feed and bounced. Denver was but he 479 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: could just Denver, you don't have to worry about saying 480 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: the bounce full Superman. And this one too was like 481 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: it was like a fingertio. Yeah, I mean, I don't 482 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: know how he held onto that ball. I mean it 483 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: was like Willie May's over the shoulder fingertips like it was. 484 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: That was one hell of a play. The guy's mate. 485 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: He's had some highlights this year, no doubt about that. 486 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: Um So yeah, I mean, Hollywood continues to play really well. 487 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean he's among the leaders. Is Bart Scott the 488 00:23:54,240 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: subscriber This podcast, Hey, Bart Holly Hollywood. I mean he's 489 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: seventh in the league in receiving yards right now with 490 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: five and six or six, seventh in the league. You 491 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: think Justin Jefferson is any good? Terry McLaren, claren Hollywood's 492 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: got more yards, Travis Kelsey any good? You know? I 493 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: mean so, and then you look at touchdowns. Six touchdowns, 494 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: that's tied for the third most or fourth most in 495 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: the league. So, I mean, Mark's brown is off to 496 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: an incredible start to this year. I called it all 497 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: the way. I knew he was gonna have a big year. 498 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: Pat myself on that, um, you know, And and this 499 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: team's gonna get Sammy Watkins back. I'm excited for that. 500 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: You know. To see the trio finally get on the 501 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: field together will be really exciting. You know, as soon 502 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: as Bateman is ready to go, Sammy left, So that'll 503 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: that'll be a fun thing to watch. I think there's 504 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: a lot of exciting things ahead for this offense. Let's alright, sorry, 505 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: starting to get a little big picture. But let's I'll 506 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: say one thing. Let's just this offense is still has 507 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: the possibility to be very explosive at times, and and 508 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: like there were just some missed opportunities, Like we talked 509 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: about that in this game, there's just some missed opportunities. 510 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: We talked about that the drive, you know, with the 511 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: taking sack, and that really changed things. There's also like 512 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: the wheel route to Hollywood early in the game that 513 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: that Lamar had and he just threw it a little 514 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: too far out of bounds. Like the Ravens. It's not 515 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: like I don't think that the Ravens, like across the 516 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: board played really poorly in this game, you know what 517 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Like there's some bad like even on even 518 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: on defense, like I mean this now this is the 519 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: special you know, well we played really good defense if 520 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: you take away the four seven New York Town, you know, 521 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: unfortunately like that. But but it wasn't like it wasn't 522 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: like I didn't feel like the Bengals were just every 523 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: drive just like marching down the field. I always felt 524 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: worse about the Colts the Colts game, like they just 525 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: like marched every drive, you know. And and this one 526 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: was like the blown coverage on the touchdown the Uzoma. 527 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: You know, Marlon Humphrey got beat on the long ones 528 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: to use him, I'll ten times out of ten I'm 529 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: gonna take Marlin Humphrey to win that matchup, but he 530 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: lost at that time. Zelma got away with a little 531 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: push off on that. By the way, Uh, you know, 532 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase takes a slant eight two yards for a touchdown. Now, 533 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: the tackling issues have been well documented and the Ravens 534 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: gotta do better than that, you know, But like that's 535 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: not gonna happen most games, you know what I mean. 536 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: I think I agree with I agree with your point 537 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: that I think that this was a game of missed opportunities. 538 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: I really I think that's a good way of looking 539 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: at it. And like when you look at it in 540 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: situations like just when you got into critical situations, then 541 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden things would start to kind of 542 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: go haywire, Like we we talked a little bit earlier 543 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: about those. You get into field goal range and then 544 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's the sack or the holding 545 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: call or you know, a holding wipes away the big 546 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: run by lamar Um. You have a missed big holding calls, 547 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: one on Duburne that knocked him out of field goal range, 548 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: and then the one on you know, Villeneueva that rates 549 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: to come back right, and so you just have it's 550 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: a it's a what a bad play? You know, the 551 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: four bad plays can change the game. So you missed 552 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: the tackle on Chase on a on a slant route 553 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: that should have gone for tenn and it goes rady, 554 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: you have a blown coverage or everyone jumps the screen, 555 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: and then the tight ends running wide open down the 556 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: middle of the field that goes for a touchdown. That's 557 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: just like those those situational misses end up basically costing 558 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: you a game. But then, like I like early in 559 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: the game, I was like, all right, the defense is 560 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: basically building off what they did last week. They're they're 561 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: continuing to play like they did and breaking up passes, 562 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: and it was it was, it was rocking early. So 563 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: I think that's a good way of looking at it. 564 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm not going back to what you said at the beginning. 565 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: It was a missed opportunity to have a nice cushion 566 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: in the division. But I also, like, I do think 567 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: that there is when you when you step away from 568 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: it and you look at where the Ravens are. I 569 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: know this is the big picture, but I'm very confident 570 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: with where the Ravens are right now. Five and two. 571 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: You have to buy a ton of injuries this year, 572 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: a ton of injuries that they've overcome. Um, and I'm 573 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: not too I'm not gonna make too much out of 574 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: this game. I'm just not, thank you. That's what I'm saying. 575 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: That's my point at the start. We don't you don't 576 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: make too much out of one game in the positive. 577 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: You don't make too much out of one game in 578 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: the negative. One game doesn't tell you a lot the 579 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: string games trends that can tell you something. One game. 580 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: That's what that's my whole thing to man. Everybody, you 581 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: know the playoff loss in Buffalo. Everybody wants to make 582 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, sweeping statements about the Ravens offense when there 583 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: held the three points in Buffalo in a game that 584 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was basically knocked out immediately after halftime, and 585 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: and Howling win in Buffalo, like and we want to 586 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: say the offense all of a sudden sucks. Well, one 587 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: game you get. You gotta stop making two sweeping statements 588 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: about one game, whether it be in the playoffs, regular season, 589 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: big wins, big losses. One game doesn't say a ton 590 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: m all right, thank you, coach, thank you alright, let's 591 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: let's let's read this email from Kai Degner to feel 592 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: a little bit better at the end. This alright, our buddy, Ka, 593 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: he's he's becoming a regular email. I think the one 594 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: that he sent last time was his first. Now taste 595 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: the email life exactly, So, Kai says, I'm trying to 596 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: make myself feel better after this ballot loss a mangles. 597 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: So I did some math. This is good because you 598 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: can't do any man correct. We need Kai to do 599 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: the man. Thank you guy. The average number of regular 600 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: season losses for a Super Bowl winner is three point 601 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: two three, ranging from zero to seven. The Ravens had 602 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: four losses in two thousand and six. The Ravens right 603 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: now only have two. I mean, right now. You gotta 604 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: get it, so, I think so basically Kai's point, you 605 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: could go fifteen. And I think his point here is 606 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: if the Ravens when I win a SUPERO, they gotta 607 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: get a couple more losses under their belt. We'll take it. 608 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: Hits your care business on that yesterday? Well do you go? So, 609 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: he says, uh ps, I did not look for stats 610 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: on how many players each Super Bowl winner head on. 611 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: I r because I'm trying to help us all feel better, 612 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: not worth right.
