1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. It's our bye

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: week edition of the podcast. And so we're gonna kind

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: of step back, relax a little bit. We're really sprawled

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: out on the couch right now, both arms up, elbows

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: are up, knees up, feeling good, borderline laying down. If

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: I would lay down right now, I'm gonna take a nap.

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: How many naps are you gonna take over the course

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: of you know, the Sunday games you flip on the

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: game's Ravens six and three, you know, sizing them up

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: all weeks. Anyway, Uh, very excited about where the Ravens

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: sit right now at six and three. You're feeling great

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: going into this by and uh, a lot to talk about,

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: lots of breakdown. So yeah, we're gonna get to go

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: through all of it, kind of give you our lay

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: of the land in terms of where the Ravens are

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: at this point of the season, called at the midpoint

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: of the season, as they sit here in the first place. Thing,

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't like the seventeen game scheduled just for the

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: fact then it messes up the mid in the season conversation.

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: But do we have to have this talk during the

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: halftime game. It's basically the midpoint of the season for

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: all in tests of purposes. The Ravens are in a

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: great spot right now. So we want to give you

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: our take on where the team stands. And also we

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: tease this earlier in the week after the Morning After

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Reaction episode to the Saints game. But we are going

27
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: to do a soup draft. This is the newest, the

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: newest draft. It's soup season. It's soup season. Uh so

29
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a soup draft. We're gonna get into

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: that in a little bit. But um, all right, so

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: before that point, your take on what we have seen

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: from the Ravens through their first nine games. What's your

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: elevator pitch for where the Ravens aret right now? Okay,

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: so if you're if this is just somebody at the

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: playground sayings doing this year, yes, I would say they're

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: doing really well. They're off to a very good start

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: in first place, have won three straight. You know, there

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: are some kind of rocky moments early in the season,

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: but uh, they're headed in the right direction. The arrow

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: is putting way up right now for this team, and

41
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: I think that they're a very good team who at

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day have a great chance of

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: winning their vision and are going to make the playoffs

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: and have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs.

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: That's what I'd say. Yeah, I agree with all that.

46
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: Well done. You know that was that was while you're

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: on the elevator. That was well done for me. It's

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: a playground, man, come on, he's still in infant stage.

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: But this is the elevator pitchund pitch, so um, you know,

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: I I agree with all that the way I look

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: at it. Obviously things can change, but like as it

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: stands right now, I don't see a scenario where the

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Ravens don't win the a f C North. Okay, I

54
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: wouldn't go that strong. Let me explain them. Let me

55
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: explain that a little bit further. So there's six and

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: three right now. The Bengals are five and four. The

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Ravens have obviously already beat them. The Bangles are oh

58
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: and three in the division. As I, as I look

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: at the remaining schedule for the Ravens, they played a

60
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: really tough schedule through the first eight games, nine games, um,

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: but they play a very easy schedule based on you know,

62
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: win loss, record the second season, and it's true. It's true,

63
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: and every game you know, you can say this is

64
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: gonna be a win. You can play the win loss

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: game all that stuff, but you play the game. Well,

66
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm basically playing it right now, and I think it's

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: a lot of wins. So that's kind of what I'm

68
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: telling you. Um, But like they have a much easier

69
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: schedule in the second half, so it's basically the reverse

70
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: of what it was last year for the Ragins. So

71
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: as I look at the Ravens schedule conservatively, like, to

72
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: be honest, I don't see this team losing more than

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: two games the rest of the way, so to me,

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: that so that puts them at twelve and five. We

75
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: do a lot of joking around about worst case scenario.

76
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: Losing two games might literally be not worst case scenario,

77
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: but like I think that might be the floor as

78
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: it sits right now, and there's injuries that can happen,

79
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, all this different stuff. But as I'm

80
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: looking at the team right now, I don't see this

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: team losing more than the two games, So that puts

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: them a twelve and five. So I think the Bengals,

83
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: who are five and four. Right now, they still have

84
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: to play the Bills, the Chiefs, Browns, the Steelers, the Patriots. Okay,

85
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: not an easy schedule by any stretch. For the Bengals,

86
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: they've got a really they play first place schedule, you

87
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: win the division, you play a first place schedule, And

88
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: they still have some of the toughest opponents, including the

89
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Bills in the Chiefs on the schedule. I think that

90
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: they're going to finish worse than twelve and five. But

91
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: let's just say, for the discussions sake, they finish twelve

92
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: and if the if the Ravens end up in a

93
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: tie with the Bengals and the Bengals division and they

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: beat the Ravens, the Ravens were still in the division

95
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: because because they're back, they're gaming a half back and

96
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: they have a tougher schedule. That's your point, yes, And

97
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: even if they finished with the same record, the Ravens

98
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: are going to end up with the better time because

99
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: if the Ravens lose two games they that will only

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: be two losses in the division. The Ravens are undefeated

101
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: in the division right now, so all that well, the

102
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: Ravens have three divisional games left. I know but I'm

103
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: saying if based on my worst case scenario, they would

104
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: only lose two games, have four divisional games left, Yeah,

105
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: but they would always so they would finish right right

106
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: right with two losses. The Bengals already have three. So

107
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: I just don't see a scenario right now where the

108
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Ravens don't win the a f C North, and I

109
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: and and the Browns. The Browns are already the Browns

110
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: and Steelers aren't gonna win the division. I think he

111
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: makes some excellent points. Um. I think that the division

112
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: is certainly, absolutely one well within the reach. I think

113
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: they are the leading favorites to win the division. I think, uh,

114
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, even if that didn't happen, there in good

115
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: position in you know, what would become a wild card battle.

116
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: I would be shocked the way the Ravens are playing

117
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: right now, and with who's left on their schedule, and

118
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: the health of the team, and just the direction they're heading.

119
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if they don't end up in

120
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Shocked. And look, this is us just saying

121
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: this and listening to the players after the game on

122
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Monday night late, you know, early Tuesday morning. They're not

123
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: saying this you know. Lamar Jackson. His sentiment when he

124
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: talked with reporters right after the game was, Uh, season's

125
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: not over yet, Like, yes, it's great. Season not over yet,

126
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: we got a lot of work to do by week

127
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: is not. They're not taking the full beach mode vacation

128
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: like you are. They're not gonna be kicking up with

129
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: their feet in the sand. I think that like, yes,

130
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: they'll relax and and get some time away and recovering

131
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But like, I do not think that

132
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: this team is sizing them up quite like we are.

133
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: They are very much like looking for ways to get better.

134
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Um and so like this is this is how I feel.

135
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: But I think there's still very much like there's a

136
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: lot of work left to do. I think what's really

137
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: exciting for the Ravens too, is that you know, they

138
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: still haven't I don't think, to play their best game yet.

139
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: Like they haven't, they haven't peaked yet. Whereas let's just

140
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: think back to nineteen, Like it felt like there's a

141
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: lot of talk going to the playoffs, like have the

142
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 1: Ravens peaked? You know, like that they peaked too early

143
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: and you know there's still a lot of meat left

144
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: on the bone. And I think that's what kind of

145
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Lamar is speaking to uh and what this team feels

146
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: in general. And you have to like that because you

147
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: look at it. Defensively, Broke Smith just played his first game, right,

148
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: so he's gonna get better as he gets more acclimated

149
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: to this defense. They're gonna get more. Tias Bowser is

150
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: gonna get stronger. He just played in his first game.

151
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna get Marcus Williams back at some point, who,

152
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: by the way, was like the defense's best player through

153
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: the first three weeks. He was a stud. He was

154
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: leading the league in interceptions, So they're gonna get him

155
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: back at some point. You know, you're gonna get David

156
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: a Jabo back on the field at some point in

157
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: the second half. So there's reasons tobly that the defense,

158
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: which has already been on a good trajectory, is only

159
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: going to get that much better, right, And I can

160
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: say the same for offense. Offensively, they're running the ball

161
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: really well, the offensive line is playing great, but the

162
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: passing game has not really been clicking the past several weeks,

163
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: really up to the standard that Lamar Jackson and co. Want, Right,

164
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: They you know, there's been some missed opportunities, miss throws,

165
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: There's been missed across the board. Like I I think

166
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: that you know, Rashot Bateman's not coming back, so it's

167
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: a little tougher from on personnel standpoint. On offense, you

168
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: don't feel like, oh, I mean j K. Dobbins is

169
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna come back, so that'll be Sanderson was obviously Mark

170
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: Andrew is gonna come back. So you know, you look

171
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: at the way they performed against a pretty good Saints

172
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: defense that was coming off a shoutout, ranked number ten

173
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: in the league, and they did pretty darn well with

174
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: one arm tied behind their back, with all those guys missing.

175
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Once they're back on the field, obviously, that makes a

176
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: huge difference. And if they can get the way they're

177
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: running the ball, if they can get the passing attack

178
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: playing at a more efficient higher level, hitting more of

179
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: those opportunities, it's gonna be lace out on offense too.

180
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think I think that's all well said.

181
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: And I think that like in terms of playing their

182
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: best game, if you hit just going back to the

183
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: Saints game, since that's one's fresh, Like Lamar Jackson was

184
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: mad about some of the missed opportunities to de Marcus Robinson.

185
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: If you just hit that, you know, hit hit one

186
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: of those such downs, and and like just in general,

187
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: if they hit some of those layups, then you're gonna

188
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: find yourself winning these games. I mean, they've had double

189
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: digit least in every game this year, every game. And

190
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: so when you think about how good are the Ravens, Well,

191
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: they've been up on every team they played by two scores.

192
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: So let's start there. Now, they gave up, they gave up,

193
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: you know, three of those losses. But I think that

194
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: they've addressed those issues, and I think it's been like

195
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: I think that they've kind of got the monkey off

196
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: their back over the last three weeks of like the

197
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, what's gonna happen? Are you gonna hold onto

198
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: this lead? Like they've they've taken care of that, and

199
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: like the Saints weren't. The Saints were not coming back

200
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: and winning that game. The defense was was locked down.

201
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: And I think for a couple of reasons, A running

202
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: the ball really well, the offenses ice games a whole

203
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: lot better, um and and that that ain't going anywhere

204
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: there the way this airline is playing, you know, barring health,

205
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: where's and and and that may only may only even

206
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: get better and us and us exactly and and so

207
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: the running the ball really well which helps you close

208
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: out games, and the pass rushes turn up right. So

209
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: when these teams are in past heavy mode in these

210
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: games scripts, if they fall behind on the Ravens, it's

211
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: gonna be much tougher to come back with the Ageless

212
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Wonder justin Houston and company coming off the edge like

213
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens have definitely, you know, without blitzing, if you

214
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: just take that away, I think they have their best

215
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: pass rush in since Sugs was playing on this team,

216
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like in a little while. Yeah,

217
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean Scenarios and Judo were pretty good. That was

218
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: very league. When was that they were they had a

219
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: couple of years and then Sucks was on this team.

220
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, since then, true true boom still still counts.

221
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean the definitely the past couple of years at least,

222
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: like it's the best pass rush assortment and inside rush

223
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: you have Matta Biga. You know, There's been times when

224
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: when it's kind of funny pass rush, like after the

225
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins game, and it's like like pass rush, pass rush,

226
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: pass pass rush. You need pass rush, and like the

227
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: pass rush was not bringing it earlier, but they were

228
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: even more shorthanded, much more shorthanded at that point. It

229
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: was away in Houston playing every snap. They said, all right,

230
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: we need to address this. And then when they got

231
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul and I think he's been a good addition.

232
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: Didn't play a ton against the Saints. Uh, dealt with

233
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of an ankle injury, but he'll be fine. Um,

234
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: So like if you feel like but now, also you

235
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: look at the pass rush and you're like, is this

236
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: a strength of the team, Like justin us is going

237
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: out there and getting two sacks as a starting point, Yeah,

238
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty good strength of the team. Now, what's what's

239
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: the weakness on the defense? I'll wait, right, I mean seriously,

240
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you have Rokewan Smith and Patrick Queen in

241
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: the middle, who were just as I thought it was.

242
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Zach Orror was like, we have two erasers in the

243
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: middle of the defense right now, and I thought that

244
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: was well said, like Patrick Peaks playing a really high level.

245
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: We've already seen the kind of player that broke one

246
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: is I think I think, yeah, I think there's not

247
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: many teams like this, as you play it out over

248
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: the course of the year, what's the weakness. How do

249
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: you do against a true, a real dominant passing attack,

250
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: a Tyreek Hill Stefan Digs and the Bills Patrick Mahomes,

251
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: and how do you do against Andy Dalton and their

252
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: wide receivers were missing Tom Brady and the Bucks have

253
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: been tear anemic offensively, Uh in the passing games specifically, Uh,

254
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: the Browns with with what's his name? Yeah, I mean whatever, Yeah,

255
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: you've not gone against three top flight passing offenses. So

256
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: so that's I don't really since the Bills they did

257
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: pretty well against Josh Allen, but they didn't win, right

258
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: and then and then the Miami game is still a

259
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: scar that bounces around in your head the pain of

260
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: that one, right, So that so like, I don't think that.

261
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: I do not think the secondary is a weakness, but

262
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: I think that that's the unknown. Yeah, I would agree

263
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: with that. I would agree with that. Once Marcus gets

264
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: back on the field, that helps with that certainly. Yeah.

265
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean the pass rush as it as it continues

266
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: to just blossom and then you get market Williams pat

267
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: I think it's just like there's no reason that this

268
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: deed and we said, we all said it, and I

269
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: still think it's I think it's more true now than

270
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: ever that like, there's no think there's there's no reason

271
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: that this defense is not one of the best in

272
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah. Absolutely, And every defense is going to

273
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: have its struggles against the homes Joshua. You know, not

274
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: many those guys don't get held down in check very

275
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: often at all. But if we're the Ravens are gonna

276
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: achieve these goals, these lofty goals that we think they're

277
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: capable of. Yes, they're gonna have to play pretty well

278
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: against this. But you look at the schedule and which

279
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: of these passing offenses really concerns you. The Panthers, the Jags,

280
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals, right, the Broncos, the Steelers, Browns. I mean,

281
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: they'll have the Shaun Watson Falcons, Steelers, Bengals, Bengals. Week

282
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: seventeen is like the only one on the schedule where

283
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, you know, but already faced him

284
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: once and the Chase and the secondary did a pretty

285
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: darn good job totally. So we want to give a

286

Speaker 1: fruit here and point to number eight. I think you

307
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: have to you know, Mark Is had some dominant games

308
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: there's been a couple of games where he it and

309
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: have big production, and then he obviously missed this past one.

310
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: So you know, Lamar, even though we've talked about the

311
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: passing game hasn't been humming, I would say for a

312
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: little bit. He's still played good, winning football and made

313
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: some wow plays where you're like, yeah, I'm glad we

314
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: have Lamar Jackson on our side, and like, gosh, this

315
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: guy is so fun to watch, you know, like he

316
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: does that several times a game. And so yeah, I mean,

317
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: the most valuable player if he took Lamar Jackson on

318
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the offense, I mean, we saw it last year wasn't

319
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: nearly as good. So yes, Lamar Jackson is the offensive

320
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: most Valuable Player. I mean, look, Lamar Jackson is still

321
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: a top five candidate to win the NFL Most Valuable

322
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Play exactly. So yes, he is my offensive MVP through

323
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: the first nine games of the season. Defensive m v P. Yeah,

324
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: I I struggled with actually wrote one name down. I

325
00:15:53,520 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: crossed it off because yeah, I ever think this, well,

326
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'll give you my I just answer to here,

327
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: no no pick one, no, no, no, no, I'm saying

328
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: there's kind of the there's connect. There's a connection here.

329
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: I initially wrote down justin Houston. I mean, he's just

330
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: been on fire lately. I put him down as big

331
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: a surprise, which we'll get to. Um, he's just ruining

332
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: the whole segment. Did you do that same thing? Okay, okay,

333
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: but defensive MVP, defensive m v P. I put Marlin

334
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: and as you look at the defense, like there's not

335
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: one guy with the exception in Houston who has been

336
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: like has these monster stats. Marlon though, has great PFF grades.

337
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: He's been excellent in coverage. UM. I think that like

338
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: he brings like a level of leadership and energy to

339
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: the defense, and he has like helped that group get

340
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: over some of the early season struggles. UM. And he individually,

341
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: he individually has been good all the season long. He's

342
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: not getting burnt. He's been playing lockdown defense. He's been

343
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: one of the quarterbacks in the game top three. So

344
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: I debated Houston because Houston's got the sack numbers and

345
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: he's one of the best pass rushers in the game,

346
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: and but he missed a few games in there. So

347
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: that's like where I started. When he's missed three games

348
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: that it's hard to give out to the same argument

349
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: that I made. He missed three games, so that's kind

350
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: of tough. He missed the third of the seat of

351
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: the season up to this point, right, exactly so, but

352
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: he's second in the league, and I know, I know,

353
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: but I have to agree. I think every single snap, right,

354
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: I think in totality, I'm gonna go with Marlon. Okay, agree,

355
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, alright, So then just keep

356
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: it rolling to bigger surprise. Did you also go with

357
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: Justin Houston? I don't know. You talk and then I'll

358
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: come up with a different one while you're talking, Okay,

359
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: all right, So I I went with Houston. I thought

360
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: Houston was gonna be was gonna be good this year,

361
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: um and I thought that he was going to make

362
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: improvement for where he was last year on this on

363
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: this defense. But I'd be lying if I said that

364
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to have nine and half

365
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: sacks and the second in the league at the bye.

366
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: I didn't think that I thought he would be. I'd

367
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: have to go back, I think. But as a side note,

368
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: I think both of us picked a way to lead

369
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: the team of sacks. Well, I know that's the that's

370
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: that was just about to say the biggest surprises not

371
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: only oh it doesn't has what one right, He's taking

372
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: them all right, So I expect that is. I thought

373
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: the reverse if you told me, If you told me,

374
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: all right, between Houston and Away, one guy's gonna have

375
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: nine and a half sacks right now, he's gonna and

376
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: when one guy's gonna have one, right, I would have

377
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: pointed to oh Way being the guy that's the leader.

378
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: So but but Houston has found the fountain of youth

379
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: and it's just been awesome and I hope that he

380
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: can keep it up. And even like when he got hurt,

381
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: it was sort of like, man, that's that's a loss,

382
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: but like it's okay, you know, like it's almost like

383
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: they added JPP and then justin Houston got hurt. It

384
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: was kind of like, ads, it's gonna be kind of

385
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: a similar production out of those two guys. And when

386
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: he's come back, he just looked like a different player. Okay,

387
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: I I completely agree with that. I obviously since you

388
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: had the same answer initially, I didn't like, I told you,

389
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm winging it. I didn't have an answer to see, Yeah,

390
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: there's no crossing out. I only have the categories written down. Um,

391
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to the beach, all right, I

392
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: didn't write these down, all right. Biggest surprise, here's my

393
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: biggest surprise, is that this offense isn't totally underwater without

394
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: Bateman and Mark Andrews on the field. Like, like Bateman

395
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: has missed a significant amount. I'll even I'll sharp in

396
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: it to the wide receivers. And it's not like somebody

397
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, do Rene has been really good. But I

398
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't say like a huge surprise. I mean, I would

399
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: say mildly surprising how well he's done this season. But

400
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: in totality the way the Ravens have been able to

401
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: get enough out of the passing game without Bateman, For

402
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: he's missed three full games now and had like a

403
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: partial fourth. Like if you told me at the beginning

404
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: of season, when we were all doubting the wider you

405
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: were still begin with, right, everybody was saying, even with

406
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: Bateman and everybody like, this is a bottom five wide

407
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: receiver unit in the NFL. And then you say, well,

408
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: Bateman is gonna get injured, he's gonna miss a few games,

409
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: and then he and he's ruled out for the year.

410
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: I would be like, sound the alarm. This is a

411
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: three alarm fire, right, gotta get somebody a sap And

412
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people were saying that that at the

413
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: trade deadline, like have to get a wide receiver now

414
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: with Bateman being done, and guess what the Ravens are

415
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: like again again Eric's Eric has like, nah, I'm good,

416
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Well they did get de Shaan Jackson. Yes, they got Deshan.

417
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying like it wasn't like a big deadline deal right,

418
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: like once they knew Bateman was done for the year

419
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: he had that was an inflection point where he could

420
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: have again been said, I need to make a big

421
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: time edition at wide receiver like a lot of people

422
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: thought they would and should he and the Ravens offense

423
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: like like we said, the passing off the passing attack

424
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: can be better, but it's been pretty effective. It's been adequate.

425
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: Yea more than adequate, I think, and that is given

426
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: all the circumstances, I think pretty surprising. I would. I

427
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: was also thinking like that the running game, how good

428
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: the running game has been without j K really healthy,

429
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: fully healthy period at any point this season and now

430
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: on the shelf. Gus just got back and then immediately

431
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: went back not immediately, but two games later went back

432
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: on the shelf, Like what they've gotten out of Kenyan Drake,

433
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, and and Justice and and Mike Davis also,

434
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: you know what they've gotten out of those guys in

435
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: the way that the run game is churning out yards?

436
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty surprising considering the circumstances. Also, alright,

437
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: so we've got five different biggest surprises for you, but

438
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: thank you two. Alright, So the biggest concern, uh, my

439
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: biggest concern moving forward would be with a passing game

440
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: when you if you get into a situation where you're

441
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: playing one of those high powered offenses, you fall behind.

442
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: How's it going to do in those situations you? I

443
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: think that's that's probably the what a lot of Ravens

444
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: fans would point to. How do you do in a

445
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: play in the playoffs if you know, if you fall

446
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: behind early and you need a two minute drive and

447
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: those types of things. So that would probably be what

448
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: I like, Who who's gonna be the guy that steps

449
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: up there if they take away Mark Andrews. Who's it

450
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna be? Is it de Shaan Jackson? Is it Devin DuVernay.

451
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: Is it DeMarcus Robinson or is it just a collection?

452
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: You know, maybe that was the case against New Orleans

453
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: and maybe that's the recipe. Yeah, I would say the

454
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: same last season to this, to this point, you had

455
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: seen the Ravens come back against the Colts. You had

456
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: seen the Ravens come back against the Vikings when they

457
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: were down big. The Ravens have not been down big

458
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: at any point this season. So you can't really falls

459
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: for that, right you can't. That's great, but but to

460
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: a degree reminds you a little bit of twenty nineteen

461
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: when they were just boat racing people getting out these

462
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: big leads and then run them over in the second

463
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: half and it was lights out, like night night. You know.

464
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: That's cool, that's great. That helps you get win a

465
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: lot of games. But then we saw in the playoffs

466
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: they get behind early to the Titans, and everybody's like,

467
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: I need and they weren't able to get out of

468
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: the tails, been kind of and recover. You know, So

469
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: I agree, until they have shown that, which I hope,

470
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: you hope they don't have to write, um, then that's

471
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: a lingering question. And and that goes back to my

472
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: biggest surprise of how are these riders was gonna perform?

473
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: And you know, there's as Greg Rima said, there's just

474
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: no sugarcoating the loss. First shot, Baman, it stinks. He's

475
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: a very good player when he's healthy, and he was

476
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: playing well when he was right, you know, and so

477
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: uh as like I said, as well as it's been adequate,

478
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: it's been more than adequate. I think the play of

479
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: those other guys stepping up. But you're gonna probably need

480
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: more than above adequacy to win a playoff game, and

481
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: a tough circumstance like that, especially if you if you

482
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: get down, if you get down, it's gonna be tough,

483
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: all right. And then Rookie of the Year I got

484
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum. I mean he stepped in, he's played every snap,

485
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: he's been really good at center. I think just he's

486
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: been He's been everything that you want. Yeah. I think

487
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's has played, has come on and he's playing well. Um,

488
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: his role is increasing as the coaches see that. But

489
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: I don't say likely has come on and in in

490
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Mark's absence, but who's played every single snap of every

491
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: game and done it at a high level. Yeah, that's

492
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: an easy one. Alright, time for the most anticipated discussion

493
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: of this podcast, which is the Soup Draft. We teamed

494

572
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: that was not planned. This was, like I want listeners

573
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: to be clear. It wasn't like, hey, we can do

574
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: the soup draft, but you have to take the Old

575
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: Bay clam chowder first. That was not like a stipulation.

576
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: You just you just wanted it. You just took it first.

577
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: Clam chowder is great. Then you give it the twist,

578
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: the Maryland twist, and we often, you know, whenever you

579
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: got to New England, you gotta get the clam chowder.

580
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: But it's great. But that is where you kind of

581
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: went with like that's like a skill position, Like that's

582
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: like a high risk, high reward. That's a high risk

583
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: high reward. Me. I just I'm going with the left

584
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,720
