1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. The Ravens are

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: coming off a thirteen the three loss to the Cleveland Browns.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: It is not I'll size him up Monday, Garrett. But

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: you know what the nice part is, well, a few things.

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: There's a there's a lot of nice parts. All right,

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: Let's let's go half glass, half fool here to start

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: a you know, we've had a day in between two

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: kind of let the emotions simmer down a little bit

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: from that tough loss in Cleveland. Be you could be

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: a Patriots fans, Oh my gosh, oh my goodness, gracious,

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: so be thankful for that. And see, the Ravens still

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: have an excellent chance of making the playoffs. First of all,

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: they controlled the all owned Destiny. If they win out,

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: they win the n f C North Divisional title. And

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: even if they don't, they have multiple scenarios for clinching

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: this week if they beat the Atlanta Falcons. So you know,

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: it could be a whole lot worse. Let's just start

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, no doubt. Um, I think that from

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: a big picture standpoint, this game was was obviously disappointing

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: and frustrating and all of that and and we'll get

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: into all that. I don't think that it particularly changed

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: my viewpoint on what I think this team is and

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: where where I think they're going and what the the

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: path is for this team. I don't think from a

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: big picture standpoint, it really changed much. And like you mentioned,

26
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: they still have a very good chance, I think, right

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. According to make the playoffs. Um,

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: the division is gonna be tougher now, and the and

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals, no doubt about it, they're playing better football

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: than the Ravens right now. So UM, I know the

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Ravens beat him earlier in the season, but if they're

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Bengals in Week A team to win

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: the division, they got their work cut out for them.

34
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: And I don't think that you know, based on what

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: we saw on Saturday, the game against Atlanta or against

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is gonna be a walk in the park for

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens, that the way their offense is playing right now. UM.

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: The other good news is is that there's reports that

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson could be his return could be on the

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: horizon potentially this week, So that's another would be very

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: good factor in all of this. UM. But in terms

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: of the game on Saturday, which will spend the ball

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: with the time discussing. I mean it was. It was

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: incredibly disappointing on on a variety of fronts. Um, And

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a game that the Ravens

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: could could certainly have won. Um. It's different than the

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: games earlier this season that they lost where you're like,

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: oh man, you had the big lead and you know

49
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: you should have won it. In that sense, I just

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: think that the Ravens were in position to win this

51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: game if they had done a few things differently. Um,

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the Browns weren't gonna score thirty points. You know, it's

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a low scoring game. So it's it's a

54
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: really disappointing game when your offense puts up three points,

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: when you when you turn the ball over, when you

56
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: run the ball as well as the Ravens did, and

57
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: you don't get any touchdowns all when all those things happened,

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: it leaves a terrible taste in your mouth. So I

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: don't know about you. I bet a lot of Ravens

60
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: fans probably spent Sunday. You know, that's the day to

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: work on the chores, you know, get ready for Christmas

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: celebrations in the next week. You don't want to watch

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: any football on Sunday, you know, typically if you have

64
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: like an off Sunday, I'd like to park myself on

65
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: the couch. I don't want to watch any football yesterday.

66
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: And I think probably a lot of Ravens fans, you know,

67
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: especially as you see the Bengals come back and put

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: up thirty four on answer points to beat the pain

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: or to beat the Bucks. Probably not the best best day.

70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: Well yeah, except I mean it was. It was good

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: for the Ravens playoff chances yesterday. I mean it wasn't

72
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: as good as it could have been. But the Jets losing,

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: uh was really big and the Patriots losing was was

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: big for the Ravens. Um, you know, chances of getting

75
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: into the dance and you know me, I'm gonna getting

76
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: the dance guy. You never know what's gonna happen. The

77
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Ravens have suffered some ugly losses late in the season

78
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: before and they've righted the ship. You remember that Denver

79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: game back in the Superhowl. Ye, how bad did the

80
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: Ravens get smacked by the Broncos late in the season? Uh?

81
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: And nobody then was saying, oh, yeah, Ravens are gonna

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: go win a super Bowl. Yeah, totally. Look, I think

83
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: I think that I agree getting the dance and I

84
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: think it happened. I think I guess I just don't

85
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: like a there there's a ton a ton of talk

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: coming out of this game of like, hey, hey, and

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: I just think I just I just hate when I

88
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: see this all. The Ravens don't even deserve a playoff spot.

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: Don't even talk about the playoffs. They don't even they

90
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: don't even deserve a playoffs. Oh so see the Jets do,

91
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots they deserve a playoffs spot the chart the Raiders?

92
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: Who who? You're given the Ravens playoff spot too, because

93
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: guess what, they still have won nine games and of

94
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: every loss except for this one, you would definitely say

95
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: they could have easily won that game. So you know what, like,

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: let's not go jump off, you know, jump off the

97
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: cliff here and just say the Ravens are a trash team,

98
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: because they're not. This team has a lot going for them.

99
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: They had a backup quarterback in this game. They're running

100
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: the ball well. The passing the passing attack is not good.

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: It's not good right now, right, I have full confidence

102
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: that it will get better with Lamar Jackson. I don't

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: think that's gonna all of a sudden turn the Ravens,

104
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: like I've been saying for weeks, into a high flying

105
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: passing attack. I think they have some flaws there that

106
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: are gonna be hard to overcome, but it will get

107
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: better and they don't have to have a crazy passing

108
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: attack ton necessarily win. I still have a lot of

109
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: faith in this defense and a run game. I think

110
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: that combination can win you games, including in January. Yeah,

111
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: that's it, you know, so last week and you just

112
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: kind of set it here last week you went out

113
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: his big rant about how you know when the Ravens

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: beat the Steelers and they ran the ball on the

115
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: ground the way that they did, Basically that that is

116
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: that's the that's the recipe. Play good defense, run the ball,

117
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: and that's good enough to win your super Bowl. Basically

118
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: good enough to beat any team. I think you can.

119
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: I think you have to get turnovers on defense to

120
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs, You're you're gonna have to get so

121
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: basically the Rains did that minus the turnovers against the Browns. Yeah,

122
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: they didn't get turned into the Browns, but they played

123
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: good defense and they ran the ball well. Ye passing attack, Yeah,

124
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm still standing by that. The passing attack. I didn't

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: say the passing attack could be that bad. The passing

126
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: attack has to be better than what we saw in Cleveland.

127
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like you literally can't have a passing attack.

128
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: It has to be better than what it is in

129
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland to win, absolutely, And in that formula, you still

130
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: have to score touchdowns in any of the scenarios. You

131
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: have to score touchdowns. You can't turn the ball over

132
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and you can't you know, they

133
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: had a fourth down that they failed in the red zone.

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: The red zone issues have been a problem. It's gotten

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: better at times, but let's be honest, it's been a

136
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: pretty fairly consistent problem in the red zone. It's an issue.

137
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is because it's it's

138
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: series the series, but you know, and you would think

139
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: a team that can run the ball well should have

140
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: a lot of success in the red zone. Like, if

141
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: you can run the ball, you're in a good position,

142
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: all right. But the Ravens aren't a good position. And

143
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: so I think in order to ultimately have the success

144
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: that I think they're capable of having. They have to

145
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: be better in the Redson absolutely have to be better

146
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: better than the Redsin and maybe because that's been a

147
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: problem for so long, that will ultimately be their their

148
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: fatal So you're I don't take your take on this

149
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: game is that the passing attack should have been better

150
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: and that should have they if the passing attack were

151
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: better than they would have eaten the Browns. I guess, like,

152
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: if you're you're putting more, yes, yes, if the passing

153
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: attack had been had been uh adequate, I think they

154
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: would have eaten the Browns. And I mean, look if

155
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: if if that were the case, then yes, I think

156
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: they would have been the Browns. I also think they

157
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: could have run the ball more. Um. Yeah, so I

158
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: think you know that Tyler Harty through the ball thirty times.

159
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: Some of that did get out of whack in the

160
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter when it was basically you were trying to

161
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: just throw the ball to to make up for the

162
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: two that was really only the finals. I know the

163
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: Ravens were only in a had to pass scenario in

164
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: their final series, but I don't think I don't think

165
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: game script really was it wasn't it was. I mean,

166
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: that's just that's just really that the very tail end

167
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: of the game. But um yeah, I guess if again,

168
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: if the passing game were better, sure the Ravens could

169
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: have won. But I don't really think the Ravens actually

170
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: needed a better passing game in this one. I think

171
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: if they had just run the ball more, they could have.

172
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: Sure could they could have treated like an Army Navy game,

173
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, and and run the past the ball like

174
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: five times. Um yeah, maybe, yeah. I mean I think

175
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: I think that we all saw what the formula was

176
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: going to be for success against the Browns. Even before

177
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: the game. Everybody was saying, the Rains are gonna run

178
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: on the Browns. Raveins are gonna run on the Browns.

179
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: That's their weakness, that's the raven strength. That's an advantage

180
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. They're gonna run on them. And then

181
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: they come out and and they're running the ball. Well

182
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, it's coming from Russian. Here we go,

183
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, buckle up. And and I think that I,

184
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think the Ravens should have probably ridden

185
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: that more. I do. I think that, you know, more

186
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: than twenty carries from J. K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards.

187
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: When you're at when you're averaging more on the ground,

188
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: then you are through the air, which is rare, you know,

189
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: yards for attempt. Then I think the Ravens probably should

190
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: have run the ball more. There were just too many

191
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: situations where you know, you're facing a second and five,

192
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: second and four and it's passed past and I would

193
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: like to see or first and ten, you know, and

194
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: and of course you want to keep them off balance. Um, right,

195
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: you can't pass every down, but I think I think

196
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens were a little too heavily skewed towards and

197
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: you want to keep them off balance, but that you know,

198
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: I think that the thing that was frustrating for a

199
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: lot of Ravens fans in this game is that you

200
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: know that your point, like, you can't pass it every down, Like, yeah,

201
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: that's true, but like you could you could try until

202
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: you could try until until you get like that's kind

203
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: of a crazy approach. Um, but like what the Patriots

204
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: did that uh was the game? Was it this year

205
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: or last year? Where like they threw the ball like

206
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: seven times? What was the what was the stat line

207
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: that Flacco had in that in that playoff speaking the

208
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: Patriots the playoff game up and New New England from

209
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: Times or something like that exactly, So like you could, um,

210
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: it's very unconventional and who knows what would have happened.

211
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we're just kind of guessing on that front.

212
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, there's a lot of frustration when

213
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: you see J. K. Dobbins average nine point six carry

214
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: gus Edwards average seven point nine to carry UM and

215
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: neither of them got the ball on the fourth quarter

216
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: and just you know, I just think it was it

217
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: was a very frustrating um game. And then you know

218
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: with the defense, the defense played well I'm not putting

219
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: much of this on the defense, but like the thing

220
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: on turnovers, and I do think the Ravens are built

221
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: to get turnovers um and they're going and they've there's

222
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: a they're they've proven that they can do that, but

223
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: turnovers from a game the game standpoint can be kind

224
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: of flukey. And so that's the thing where you say, like,

225
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, this team is good enough with play basically

226
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: run the ball and play great defense getting turnovers. The

227
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: turnovers I think are probably the hardest piece of that

228
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: equation because there's a luck element that goes into turnovers

229
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: that any stats will show you that that is an

230
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: element there. And so if you don't get them for

231
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: a game like this game, you don't get them. I

232
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: just don't think you can count on three turnovers the game.

233
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: I think you probably count on this defense being good.

234
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: You can count on running the ball for over hundred yards.

235
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: But I don't think you can count on two or

236
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: turnovers the game. Uh yeah, I think that's fair. I

237
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: think two or I think three turnovers the game is

238
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: probably a lot to to count on. And you're gonna

239
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: have some games where it just doesn't happen, just doesn't

240
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: bounce your way. I mean it felt like in this

241
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Browns game, like everything that could have gone wrong for

242
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: the Ravens went wrong. Um and but I mean they

243
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: didn't even really have that. I can recall any near

244
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: turn overs in this game. So I mean I agree

245
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: with you. Look, I mean, if we're if we're gonna

246
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: sit here, and that's this is what everybody wants to

247
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: talk about, is like, are the Ravens equipped to beat

248
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs of the Bills or whomever, or the Bengals

249
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs or before the playoffs? That's the conversation

250
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: everybody wants to have. And I think, you know, we'll

251
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: see when we get there. I think, yes, the way

252
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens are playing right now, I would say there's

253
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: other teams are probably favored. Things are gonna have to

254
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: work out in the Ravens favor. Hey, they're gonna have

255
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: to play a good game to beat any of those teams.

256
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: The their formula is gonna have to like all the

257
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: components of their formula to win, or almost all of

258
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: them are gonna have to come to fruition, right. Yes,

259
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna have to get turnovers, probably multiple turnovers

260
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: if you're gonna beat the Chiefs. Is that unlikely? Yeah,

261
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: but you know, the Ravens has done a pretty good

262
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: job with turnovers this year. They're gonna have to score

263
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: in the red zone instead of settling for field goals

264
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: or even worse, turning the ball over. Can they solve

265
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: that issue in time for the playoffs? I don't know.

266
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not. I think we'll see, you know, But yes,

267
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: I concede. I can see it. Even in my half

268
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: glass full morning here alright, the coffee mug is is

269
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: still filled to the top for me. Garrett. I'm not

270
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: negativity saying the Ravens are are sunk in their playoffs,

271
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: they have no chance of going anywhere in the playoffs.

272
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: I I realized that the Ravens are not coming out

273
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: of that game. You're not saying, yeah, the Ravens are

274
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: playing great football. I feel wonderful about their chances. Size

275
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: them up. It ain't a size them up Monday like

276
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: we started. But I am just pushing back against the

277
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: notion that, hey, the Ravens don't deserve a playoffs and

278
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: be that they're so broken that they have no chance

279
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: in hades of beating a team like that. I just no,

280
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not signing up for that. I mean,

281
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: look a couple of things on that. First of all,

282
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: the notion of they don't deserve a playoffs is I

283
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: agree with you, that's dumb. You mean if you, I mean,

284
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: if if anybody doesn't deserve a playoffs. While you're talking

285
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: about like a team from the NFC South, you know

286
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: it could be seven and ten that makes the playoffs there.

287
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: You know, maybe haven taste there, but but even then

288
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: that's done because this is what goals are. So you

289
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: play here, you play you the records decide who gets

290
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. So I'm not I don't I don't

291
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: know who's saying that, but if you are saying that,

292
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: I totally disagree. Um. The other thing, too, is like

293
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens are still in a good position. They did

294
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: beat the Bengals earlier the season. How the Bengals are

295
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: playing way better than they were earlier this year. Like,

296
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: I'm recognizing that what I saw, what we've seen from

297
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals over the past six games is much different

298
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: than when when the Ravens got them. You know, the

299
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: Bengals have now won sixth straight and and I thought

300
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: the Bengals, like when I looked at their schedule when

301
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens read the by I was like, the Bengals

302
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: are gonna drop too, maybe three. Well, can we let's

303
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: run back the tape, Bryon, if you're listening, our producers

304
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: run back the tape on. Garrett just flat out saying

305
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens have already locked up the mc north crown.

306
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: Let's run that back. Well, look, I was confident. I

307
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: was confident, um, and I thought the Bengals were gonna lose.

308
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: I did not expect them to rattle off sixth straight

309
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: when they had to play the Chiefs, Titans, Bucks, Bengals, Browns,

310
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: and then the other team that they've eaten also with

311
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: the Panthers in that stretch, I I was not looking

312
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: at six wins there Also, they still have to play

313
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: the Bills and then of course the Ravens. So as

314
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: I have said, I got the divisions. Did you say

315
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals have to play the Bengals by the way, Um,

316
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: But like I'm not saying the divisions gone, but I

317
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: think that the Bengals are are clearly the the better

318
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: team right now. Um. But when you get into the

319
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: game against the Bengals or against the Bills or whoever

320
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: you could potentially see in the playoffs, what the Ravens

321
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: are gonna do is like you you kind of slow

322
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: it down. It's like a team in basketball that you

323
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: play this slow, plotting kind of offense and you take

324
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: the high flying team that can hit threes and run

325
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: all over the court and you make this this slow game.

326
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: You use the shot clock like that's what the Ravens

327
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: are gonna do. And it can work. It can work.

328
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: But but the issue that the like what we've seen,

329
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: and this is the issue is that you don't have

330
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: much infation. So in Saturday's game, the third quarter was

331
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: two drives. And this has been something that's happened to

332
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens multiple times over the past four years. Basically,

333
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: the third quarters two drives. You you march down there,

334
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: you you don't get the touchdown, um, and then the

335
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: Browns come back and they have a long drive and

336
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's a ten point game. At

337
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: ten point feel ten points in a quarter feels like

338
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: an insurmountable feat And it was ten points is too

339
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: much to overcome. You know. Compare that to the Bengals

340
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: who fall behind seventeen nothing yesterday and they rattle off

341
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: thirty four un answered. Like you know, when when you

342
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: can when you can score points fast with with your

343
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: passing attack right then you can afford to have a

344
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: few drives where you punt the ball or you turn

345
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: it over, or or you settle for three instead of

346
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: seven in the red zone and you're like, all right, well,

347
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, thanks, driver, just gonna move down pretty quickly

348
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: and we'll get another shot at it. You know, that's

349
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: not the game the Ravens are playing right now. It's

350
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: definitely not right now their defense is going to put

351
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on the other team. Right, the

352
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: Ravens defense is gonna put the pressure on on the

353
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: other team to have multiple really good drives. The Ravens

354
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: are gonna get three and ounce for their defense, they're

355
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: gonna get that, you know. So it works both ways, right,

356
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: But yes, your point is absolutely accurate. On the offense,

357
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: they don't have much margin for air. And that's what

358
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: we saw against the Browns that bit them, right, you

359
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: turn the ball over the d zoon, you have a

360
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: fumble on your own side. Uh, you know, it's back

361
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 1: to back offensive plays with turnovers. And then and you

362
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: sit there and you miss you know, you missed two

363
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: field goals. That stuff well. Also, you have a rough penalty,

364
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, penalty it doesn't go against you with Justin

365
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 1: Houston gives extends their drive. When things go against you

366
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: and you don't have much margin for air, then you

367
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: lose games. That's the position the Ravens are in right now,

368
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: you know. So John Harbor said after the game that

369
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: the basically their passing attack has to get better. Now.

370
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: Of course, Lamar Jackson is a pretty big piece of

371
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: that passing attack. You know, he's going to have a

372
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: role in that passing attack. Yeah, I'd say so his

373
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: potential return this week, which is which is reported, Uh,

374
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: certainly that would depend on how he practices and all that,

375
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: but that would be significant. But but John R. Harbor

376
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: also said, it's not just that, it's everything around that.

377
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: It's not just putting the quarterback back into place. So

378
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: what like, what do you see as the path to

379
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: fix this passing offense? Then? With three games left to

380
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: play in the regular reason, I mean, I think they

381
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: have to take more shots down the field. They have

382
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: to have more of a big play element than they

383
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: have right now. I mean right now the passing game,

384
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: and and a lot of that I think has to

385
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: do with who's under center. You know, Tyler Huntley is

386
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: a rhythm passer. It's a take you know what the

387
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: defense is going to give. You get the ball out

388
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: of your hands and they get their pass rush kind

389
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: of attack. Right, that's the passing attack that we've seen

390
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: the past, you know whatever, two and a half games

391
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: of Tyler Huntley. And so I think with Lamar coming

392
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: back under center, you certainly you know he's he's more

393
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: looking for the big play then Tyler Huntley is absolutely

394
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: and he's I think just better equipped to do it

395
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: to get the big place. Um, and so I think

396
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: that you have to have more of that element because

397
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: right now, you know, if you're gonna run the ball,

398
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, then

399
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: hopefully that opens up some opportunities in the past game

400
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: for big place like the Ravens, the way they're constructed

401
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: with this wide receiver corps right now, they're not gonna

402
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: just like make every single play. They're just they're just

403
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: not right. You're not gonna make every toe toe tapping grab.

404
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have at perfect execution in the passing

405
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: game where you can say, yeah, you know what we

406
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: are executing at such a high level in the passing game.

407
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: We're just gonna march down the field with our passing attack. No,

408
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna You're gonna have to hit some big plays

409
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: like the ones that the Shawan Jackson, you know, like

410
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: plays the Mark Andrews, I mean, Mark Andrews has been

411
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: pretty darn quiet, and especially in the past two and

412
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: a half games since Snoop is taken over. You know,

413
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: he's been he's that's just been what it is. I

414
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: think that the connection that Lamar and Mark has have

415
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: will certainly help that. Hopefully that can jump start Mark

416
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: a little bit because they need they need more from

417
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: that from him, you know, more production there. I'm not

418
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: blaming Mark or whoever, but they just need more. That's

419
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens passing attack. It's centered around Mark Andrews, and

420
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: right now they're not getting a whole lot. You know,

421
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: they need these wide receivers to step up and make

422
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: plays when called upon. They didn't do a good enough

423
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: job against the Browns of doing that. And and nobody,

424
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: everybody knows the Ravens are thin at wide receiver right now,

425
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: right that that ain't changing anytime soon. But there's been

426
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: games when you know, DeMarcus Robinson has had superb games.

427
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: You know, Devin's juvenet hasn't had a big game. You know,

428
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: he fumbled this game. Uh you know, it seemed like

429
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: maybe he ran the wrong route on the interception and

430
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: didn't really run that pick route well enough to kind

431
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: of clear it out for John Jackson on the on

432
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: the slant. That's what it looked like to me. I

433
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: don't know, but that's what it looked like. You know,

434
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: he needs to play at a higher level, so they

435
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: need better play from the wide receivers. And I think

436
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: that when Lamar Jackson comes back that will add some

437
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: more of that big play element that they are sorely

438
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: missing right now. All right, before we continue, let's take

439
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: a quick break here and then continue the conversation. We

440

454
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,359

455
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: means of being signals, keeping your distance and never trying

456
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: to beat a train across the tracks. Yeah, the big play.

457
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: You know, look to Sean Jackson. If he can hit

458
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: a couple of those, as we said before, I mean

459
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: that that's he's the big play threat. When I'm not

460
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: even talking like fifty plus yarders, I mean they need

461
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: like twenty five yarders, you know, like everything can't be

462
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: a five yard throw and pick up a little bit

463
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: of yards after catch. Totally, totally. I just I'm just

464
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: and and maybe this will happen. DeMarcus Robinson, you know,

465
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: he's had some moments this year. He had two fumbles

466
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: in this game. Um, you know, one of them he

467
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: lost and that really hurt the Ravens. So it's it's just,

468
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to see, Like it's it's hard

469
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: to see I don't know, three hundred a two hundred

470
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: plus two hundred fifty plush yard passing game, you know,

471
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: in the near future. Yeah, like I said, I don't think.

472
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the passing attack is all of a

473
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: sudden gonna come alive and carry this. It's gonna have

474
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: to focus on the running attack, which is fine. The

475
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: running the rushing game is looking great. I mean, yeah,

476
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has thrown for over two hundred and fifty

477
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: yards two times this year, you know, So, no, I

478
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think all of a sudden they're

479
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna put up three hundred and so it's gonna have

480
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: to center on the rushing attack. The whole thing is

481
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: the passing attack has to be better than it is

482
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: right now. Right now it is. It is not a

483
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: winning passing attack. It's not good enough to win games,

484
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: right and and so it has to be better than

485
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: what we saw in Cleveland. And I think it certainly

486
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: can get to that point where it's effective enough that

487
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: the rest of the Ravens formula works. Yeah, And then

488
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: and then of course, a huge factor in it is

489
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: you can't have turnovers. You know. Again, it goes back

490
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: to the margin of airthing. Um, you know, I mean

491
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: you get stuffed on the fourth down and you have

492
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: two turnovers, that's essentially three turnovers. I mean they got

493
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: stuffed on two fourth downs. There's one late in the

494
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter to that's four turnovers essentially, I mean, and

495
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: and and the fourth the you know, the first Ravens

496
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: first fourth down decision. You know, I certainly understand the

497
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: feeling of Hey, you gotta take. You should take the

498
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: points there. It's gonna be a low scoring game. You

499
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a low scoring game. Take the

500
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: points on the flip side, you get a touchdown on

501
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: that scenario, and it might be ball game, you know

502
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like in the low scoring game, seven

503
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: points matters a lot. I mean we saw that the

504
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: Brown score touchdown on their one drive and like that

505
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: was a huge touchdown that that put the game out

506
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: of reach. I mean, it goes both ways. Probably not ballgame.

507
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: It's the first Ravens first drive of the game. I

508
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: know it's not I'm not saying, I'm not saying literally,

509
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: but like seven issues seven points is big. Look, I

510
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: mean that it was you could tell it was not

511
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: going to be an offensive uh performance in that game.

512
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: It was it was really cold. Well in the first drive,

513
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: it looked like the Ravens offense was gonna be pretty

514
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: all right, but you could I mean, sure they marched

515
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: the ball down the field on the ground, and but

516
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: you could tell it was not going to be neither

517
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: team was getting you know, to twenty points. It just

518
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: felt that way. I mean, it was really windy, it

519
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: was really cold. Um, the Ravens are playing with a

520
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, banged up receiving corps. Like it did not

521
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: feel like a game that's good, that's gonna be a

522
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, thirty to twenty eight game. It just did

523
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: not have that feel from the start for sure. And

524
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: I think the argument there is, then, well, when you

525
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: when you have a fourth and one from what was

526
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: at the seven or the eight or whatever, you know,

527
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: when you know you're not going to score a lot

528
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: of points and you have a golden opportunity, you're deep

529
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: in the resident. We're not talking like you're at the nineteen.

530
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: You know, we've you and I have talked about the

531
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: worst scenario for the Ravens right now is first in

532
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: ten from the nine. You know, worst scenario you're at

533
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: the whatever, seven, eight. You say, if we convert this,

534
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 1: we got three shots at it from the five, whatever,

535
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: the six, like we should be able to run this

536
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: ball in like they did in Pittsburgh, you know, and

537
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: uh so I understand it. I I understand also the

538
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: feeling of just take the points. The points would have

539
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: been huge. You know, they get a momentum swing when

540
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: they get a stop. Whatever you can you can talk

541
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 1: about the play calls. Should they have given the ball

542
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: to j K instead of a fullback dive that we've seen,

543
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of times recently. All that is fair.

544
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm just I just want to bring up the point

545
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 1: that like a touchdown in that scenario would have been

546
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: and and then of course, of course you know to

547
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: to like it compounds on itself because then the Browns

548
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: and they get a field goal on their next drive,

549
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: but it's a four team play drive, so they march

550
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the hope there. It's like, look, you're you're

551
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: down close to the you're down close to the goal line.

552
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: The defense on the first drive of the game for

553
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: the Ravens three plays, three and out is what they

554
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: forced the Browns to. So then they marched down. And

555
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: then and then they get the ball into the brown

556
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: seven fourth and one. They feel like they can get that.

557
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: They don't get it. Well, okay, they're still pin back.

558
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: At least you've got the pin back. Let's get a

559
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: three and out and then we'll get the ball at

560
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: the fifty yard line and then march down and get points. Anyway, well,

561
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: none of that happened, you know, so, um it's kind

562
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: of the worst, the worst situation there as how that unfolded. Um,

563
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: But I understand fans saying you just take the points

564
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: in that situation in a low scoring game on the

565
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: road with the backup quarterback. You know, that's the But

566
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: the Raves, you know, John Harball made the point to

567
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: post game um on that front, like there was a

568
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: situation kind of the same part of the field, similar

569
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: situation where the Browns went forward and they got it

570
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: and that was on their touchdown drive, and so like

571
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: you get the touchdown, and that feels like, again, this

572
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: insurmountable amount of points in that game to overcome exactly. Yeah,

573
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody if it worked. If it works out,

574
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: then nobody's questioning it. Obviously, of course. So I mean

575
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens or a team or a team that, uh,

576
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think that you can. There's certain

577
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: things that you can extrapolate and and carry over to

578
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: multiple games, right and and certainly the red zone issues

579
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: have been one of them. I think you can also

580
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: extrapolate that the run game is gonna be darn good,

581
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: this defense is gonna be darn good. You can count

582
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: on those things. Right. If the Ravens can kind of

583
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: get if they can get over the hump with some

584
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: of these bugaboos, and if they don't turn the ball over,

585
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: which they've been pretty good about not turn the ball over,

586
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: I still think that they're in pretty good I mean,

587
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: I I generally agree with that, you know, I think

588
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: you could also extrapolate that. Over the course of you know,

589
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: especially the last you know, month and a half or so,

590
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: the passing game has really struggled. I mean Jacksonville, they

591
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: did actually have a pretty solid day. Lamar had a

592
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: pretty solid day from a passing yards standpoint. I mean,

593
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: that was let's see, he put up two hundred and

594
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: fifty four yards. That was his second highest number the season,

595
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: the other being Miami. Um, you know, so from a

596
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: yardage standpoint. But like, the passing game has not been

597
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: like lighting it up really at all this this whole season.

598
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: And so I think that goes to John Harbaugh's point,

599
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: that's got to get better. But I again, I just

600
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: don't I don't see that being I don't I don't

601
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: see the Ravens all a sudden throwing the ball forty

602
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: times a game and having having a ton of success

603
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: doing that. But that's I mean, I think that's the

604
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: going back to what I said off the top, like

605
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: big picture, my view of who the Ravens are, what

606
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: their strengths are, how they're going to have to win, um,

607
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: what the challenges are going to be in the playoffs,

608
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: all of that is kind of unchanged from this game.

609
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit like you do have

610
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: to consider like backup quarterback in a tough road environment,

611
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: in in bad weather, like the offense look bad, but

612
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: you need to take that into consideration all that stuff.

613
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, in the playoffs, the Ravens, whether they're it's

614
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: gonna be hard for them if they have to go

615
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: on the road to win three straight row games against

616
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: say the Titans, the Chiefs, and the Bills, just for

617
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: discussions sake, Like that's a tough road. That is a

618
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: tough road to a super Bowl. Okay, all on the road, um,

619
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: but first of all, the division is not gone. And

620
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: I still think that like the Ravens in a one

621
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: game situation, they can slow it down and make things difficult,

622
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: especially as they get Lamar Jackson back in this offense.

623
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: And I think people have kind of forgotten a little

624
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: too quickly, like how dynamic he is um, and of

625
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: course everything always comes back to the contract. You see

626
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: just how dynamic Lamar ja Jackson is in his absence

627
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: and and what is lacking in this offense without him. Um,

628
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: he's just a special player. And I think that. I

629
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: think that Tyler Huntley is is a really good backup,

630
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: and he can win games as he did against Pittsburgh.

631
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: But Lamar Jackson is a special talent, um, one of

632
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: the best in the league, and so that is irreplaceable

633
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, I think the passing game is

634
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: also going to have to improve once he gets back.

635
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not also pretend like the passing game

636
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: was late in the world on fire when Lamar excellent.

637
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'm sayings and that that's not all on Lamar,

638
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: certainly not. I mean, I don't, I'm that's certainly not

639
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: the case. I think that Lamar is playing at a

640
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: high level when you factor everything in, but it's got

641
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: to get better all the way around, totally. I mean,

642
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: his the three games before he got hurt. I'm taking

643
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: Denver out because, um, you know, he got hurt in

644
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: the middle of that game. But Jacksonville again two hundred

645
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: fifty yards, one touchdown, Carolina. Ravens went thirteen to three

646
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: two nine yards, zero touchdown, was one interception New Orleans

647
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: and thirty three yards through the air, one touchdown, zero interceptions.

648
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: So it's not like, I mean they want they've won

649
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: those game. They will beat Carolina, they beat New Orleans,

650
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: but it's not like the passing game is is really

651
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: leading that. So you know that they will have to

652
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: have marginal you know, improvement in that area if they're

653
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: going to be a team that wins the division, wins

654
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: these playoff games. So yep, they've got their workout out

655
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: for him. There's no doubt about it. I mean, it's

656
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: not I still think they're gonna make the playoffs for

657
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: just for the oh, I think they're still gonna make

658
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Well, um but you know, look, everybody feels

659
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: bad after you have a game like that, right, But

660
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: everybody was feeling pretty darn good about this team after

661
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers game, right, And we're all sitting here talking

662
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: about how epic this defense is and and all that stuff.

663
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: Right in the running game and j K and j

664
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: K looks fantastic. You know, I think he will only

665
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: continue to get stronger. Uh, he was better in this

666
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: game than he was in his first game in Pittsburgh.

667
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: So you know, if he and Gus can continue at

668
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: this pace, it's gonna be tough. The Ravens are gonna

669
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: be a tough team to beat, and the defense I

670
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: think is still playing fantastic. The big concern for me

671
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: coming out of this really the biggest I think long

672
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: term concern. You know, we talked about how doesn't really

673
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: severely impact their playoff scenario, but you know, Marcus Peters,

674
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: Clais Campbell both go down with the injuries, don't finish

675
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: the game, don't come back, and we haven't gotten word

676
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: on that. You know, that might come from John Harball today. Um,

677
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: but that is going to be a big one. I mean,

678
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: if if either of those guys are sidelined for a

679
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: significant amount of time, particularly I think Marcus Peters because

680
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: of you know, the Ravens are a little bit thinner

681
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: at corner than they are on the line, I think

682
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna be tough. But you know, in Clay's is

683
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: having a huge season, he would be really hard to

684
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: replace two So either if either of those are multi

685
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: game absences, that's gonna be a tough sled. I totally agree.

686
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Marcus Peters, you know, you can never tell

687
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: too much as the guys are walking off the field.

688
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: But as I watched him walk off the field, he

689
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: seemed to be in a lot of discomfort and pain

690
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: and frustration. Um, you know, and who knows, we'll find

691
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,239
Speaker 1: out a little bit more potentially or maybe not this

692
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: time he year. You might this time year, we might

693
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: just get the we'll see. We're not really getting into

694
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: injury updates at this time, so that's that's possible as well.

695
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: But if he is, if he missed his time, that is,

696
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a significant blow to this defense, um,

697
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: especially when you get into some of those higher flying

698
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: passing attacks. The other thing too, I just want to

699
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: mention this, like on j K Man, he's looked he's

700
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: looked awesome. I mean I think he could have probably

701
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: he might be on a pitch count two. I don't

702
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: know that, um, but you know, as he's coming back,

703
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: this is only his second game back in the lineup

704
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: from the from the second knee procedure. We justice Stel

705
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: had as many offensive snaps as j K right, and

706
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: so there there could be a pitch count thing going

707
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: on there with him. Potentially, but that guy is a

708
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: great player and his attitude, Like for him to stand

709
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: up at the postgame press conference and say, I feel

710
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: like this is on me because I can't break eight

711
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: yard runs anymore right now. I'm still working my way back,

712
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: Like I don't have that speed yet. Like that kind

713
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: of tells you his mentality. And I want to be like, no,

714
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: it's that's not on you. No, no, no, Like, yeah,

715
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: it would be great if you could still break an

716
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: a d R run, but you've you're coming off a

717
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: gruesome knee injury and you're just in your second game

718
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: back from the scope that you had in the middle

719
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: of the season. No one expects the same thing with Tucker.

720
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Same with Tucker. Of course, Sam with Tucker to say,

721
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like this is on me. Um,

722
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, I like the accountability and the leadership of

723
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: those guys to take on that that mindset. But man, like, no, no,

724
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: it's not nope, nope, nope, yeah, no, no, we're not

725
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: putting that on your shoulders. Buddy. I appreciate it. But

726
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: we've got some breaking news here, Garrett Little report in

727
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: from Ian Rap report that Marcus Peters suffered a mild

728
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: calf strain in Saturday's game, and while he likely misses sometime,

729
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: the absence should be a short one, according to a source.

730
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: Is that if that is the case, that is good news.

731
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: This kind of fits the This fits the description I

732
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: said of not really getting injury updates. A lot of

733
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: just words without details here, you know, a short a

734
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: short time. What's what's a short time? Like like just

735
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: a half? Because that was nice. If you just missed

736
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: a half of Cleveland and he's back this week, that

737
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: would be nice. A mile capturing a short one. All right, Well,

738
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: we'll hopefully that is. I love to see him back.

739
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a practice today, figures crossed. Well, Marcus

740
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: Peters doesn't practice until Fridays. Anyway, I don't think you're

741
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna see that anyway. Thanks for listening. As always, you

742
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: can reach us at the lounge at Ravens dot NFL

743
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: dot net. We will work on securing a guest this week.

744
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: And you know what, keep your chin up, Baltimore, all right,

745
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: it could be a whole lot worse. It could be

746
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: a lateral. It goes very very awry for a game

747
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: winning touchdown against you there. You could be France, right, now,

748
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: how do you think France is feeling right? Now? All right,

749
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: it could be way worse. Just get in the dance

750
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: and you never know what happens. Maybe you dance with

751
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: the best looking person there. You never know, alright, So

752
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: I have a good one. We'll see you later. This

753
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: st step
