Speaker 1: UC Hall Training Center as they continued to prepare for

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: their road trip this weekend to Baltimore. Head coach Nathaniel

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Hackett spoke today on what it's been like trying to

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: simulate Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson at practice this week. You

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: can't simulate Lamar. I mean, he's he's a rare, rare talent,

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: and uh, I mean when we put some guys out

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: there and they try their hardest and it looks looks

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: good at times and not as good at other times,

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: but we try to give the best look we possibly can.

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: And defensive coordinator I jero E Vero in quarterback Pat

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Sward Tan both spoke on Lamar Jackson's talent and what

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: makes him so unique. He's just, uh, you know, I

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: don't know if there's ever been a player like this.

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be the Mike Vick comparisons and

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: things like that, but uh, you know, first of all,

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: he's big, he's strong. You know, he's hard to tackle,

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: and he's probably a fast guy in the field. So

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: obviously you can throw the ball too. So there's just

32
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: there's a lot of factors there, and he's a special player.

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: The challenges that he's a very versatile quarterback. Um, he

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: brings a lot today offense with his running ability and

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: his pasting ability, so you know, he's a major threat.

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: And um, you know, he just created explosive plays using

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 1: his feet or his arm. So he's gonna be a challenge.

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Looking at Denver's defense, coach Vera went on to discuss

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: the problems that Carolina posed this past weekend and how

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: we hope to see his unit improve, specifically the past

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: rush this Sunday. You know, I think there are some

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: things we could have done better schematically. I think we

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: just gotta play blocks better. You know, that's part of

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: it as well. And so you know, we just weren't

45
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: good enough. I don't think there's any surprises in terms

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: of what they did. We just gotta be a little

47
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: bit better all around. We gotta pick up the pressure. Um.

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: We just I think, first of all, we gotta get

49
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: more opportunities. Um, I think, you know, if you don't

50
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: get those third and loans or those second and longs.

51
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: So we gotta do a better job on early downs.

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: I think that will help it and to give us

53
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: those opportunities, and then, uh, you know, we gotta be

54
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: more creative and we gotta win one on ones. Pastortanna

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: also spoke on his past two performances and how important

56
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: it is to stay confident at the cornerback position. You

57
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: always gotta keep you confident no matter what the situation is. Um,

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing in officition position. UM, it's one

59
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: of the toughest positions to playing football. So you always

60
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: gotta have that UM chip on your shoulder, UM that

61
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: one play mentality. So UM, you know you gotta focus

62
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: on the next play. You know, just corrected some things

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: here on out, you know, just focus on this week

64
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: coming those we saw running back Latavius Murray rushed for

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: two yards has passed Sunday in Carolina and his longest

66
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: run of the day a fifty two yard or and

67
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: by far the Broncos the longest run of this season.

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Justin out In talked about the run game

69
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: today and how are he hopes to see them built

70
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: upon that performance? Yeah, the last So last week I

71
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: challenged him because our top run was seventeen yards. You know,

72
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: three times in a row, couldn't get over seventeen. So

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: I gave him a plus a team challenge last week.

74
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: So two weeks ago they didn't get it. So this

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: week or last week, they got it. And when they

76
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: hit the fifty two, I mean that sideline with Jack

77
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: and the coaches were Jack like that. They were committed

78
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: to getting that done. And um, I might have promised

79
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: them something. They don't know what it is, but they're

80
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna get it hopefully tomorrow. But there's, um, there's a

81
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: lot to say about that. You know what, Establishing the

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: run game is something that we talked about when this

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: whole coaching staff got here, and UM, we haven't been

84
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: able to get out those marks, those explosive plays. You've

85
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: been chipping away. You know, you were getting happy if

86
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: you're getting five six yards. I think they're really dedicating

87
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: theirselves and their craft, all eleven guys, not just the

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: O line, but I'm talking about the receivers, a quarterback

89
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: and us in the right play. Um, but everyone being

90
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: on the same page and really taking pride in the

91
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: run game. Allen also spoke on facing a tough Ravens

92
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: defense this weekend, specifically inside linebacker Rocan Smith and the

93
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: challenge that he'll present. He's a special player and um,

94
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: in my opinion, one of the best backers in the league.

95
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: And uh, you can see that he fitted in very

96
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: nicely and very smoothly. Um. You know, he's he's a

97
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: guy that is he's all over the place on the video.

98
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: He's he's strong, he's athletic, he's smart, physical, So he's

99
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: a guy that fits their system extremely well. UM. And

100
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: just you know, looking at their defense as a whole.

101
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: You know, from the first level to the third level,

102
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: they're really talented, UM, and you can tell that they're

103
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: they're they're able to get in and out of pressures

104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: because they're so used to playing in that defense and

105
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: they can make their own calls. So that's the advantage

106
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: that they have in those situations. Sometimes they guess wrong, though,

107
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: and you can see that on the video. So we're

108
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: gonna try to as much as we can, you know,

109
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: limit the penetration up front, but also account for those

110
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: linebackers that second level I could fly around. That's but

111
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: not least. The special teams coordinator Dwayne Stuke spoke on

112
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: the Raven special teams unit it being one of the

113
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: best in the league. We know that they are one

114
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: of the top units, and that's what we strive to be.

115
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: That's the standard that we're trying to establish around here.

116
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: But it takes time. We have a lot of young

117
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: guys in the building. UM, we have a lot of

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: guys that have been in and out of the of

119
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: the lineup. We know the challenge as far as getting

120
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: to that to that place, we're not there yet, but

121
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: they are one of the top units and you can

122
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: see that on film. And as we wrap up the

123
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: top news of the day, let's take a look at

124
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: the injury report. The only changes from yesterday's report are

125
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: quarterback Kawan Williams in defensive end dream On Jones were

126
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: limited today. In safety, Kareem Jackson was a full participant.

127
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: Co chack It also gave an update on kJ Hamler

128
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: and said he had a setback. They're still evaluating everything

129
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: with him and that his career is the number one priority.

130
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: And I had a chance to catch up with Baltimore

131
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: Ravens editorial director Ryan Man can get his thoughts on

132
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: this matchup from the Ravens perspective. Take a listen, Ryan,

133
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 1: appreciate joining me on the show today, of course, my pleasure.

134
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: How are things going over there in Baltimore? Good? Good, Yeah,

135
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: I've been a good season so far, coming off a

136
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: tough loss, but you know, Ravens have a favorable, favorable

137
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: schedule down the stretch and hope to make a playoff run.

138
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: I mentioned that tough loss in Jacksonville this past Sunday.

139
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: What's kind of been the mood or really the mindset

140
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: in the locker room this week? Yeah, you know, not

141
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: a whole lot different. I think it obviously stung on

142
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: the flight back and and whatnot, but this I think

143
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: still has a lot of confidence in who they have.

144
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: Uh you know. It was another kind of late defensive

145
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: meltdown for this defense, which we've seen too much around

146
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: here this season. That's been kind of the Ravens Achilles heel.

147
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: But you know, the defense is strong and I think

148
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: they're having on Well. I know Lamar Jackson he was

149
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: limited at practice on Wednesday with that quad injury. What's

150
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: kind of the latest on him and his status? Yeah, well,

151
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: we haven't had practice yet today, so I'm not sure,

152
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: but I don't expect that it's gonna be a big thing, Uh,

153
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of He's had some bumps of

154
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: Bruisie had a hip last week the week before that

155
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: an illness, and I expect that it's it's not something

156
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna hold him out of action. Well, I know

157
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens they've had, they've blown fourth quarter leads in

158
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: all four of their losses this season. What's kind of

159
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: the coaching staff saying about that this week? And how

160
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: do they really hope to correct that kind of moving forward. Yeah,

161
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was. I think part of it this

162
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: past week was they kind of just tipped their cap

163
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence. He played out of his mind. I mean,

164
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: he just had his best game as a pro. And uh,

165
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, of course you also make some corrections and whatnot,

166
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: but the defense felt like it got a little bit

167
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: lacks today school. You know, they felt like they're beyond

168
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: some of those fourth quarter issues and you know, there's

169
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: no way they're gonna march out of the the field on

170
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: us here and score a touchdown and get the two

171
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: point conversion to win, and then just he makes some

172
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: incredible rosy You're like, wow, that just happened, right, And

173
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: so I think it's it's more than anything, it's just

174
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of it was a wake up call. I think

175
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: it's a mentality kind of thing more than like there's

176
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: a scheme problem or something like that. Gotcha all right? Well,

177
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: I know the Ravens they've also struggled, you know, inside

178
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: the red zone this season, and it'll be another tough

179
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: challenge for them this Sunday trying to correct that going

180
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: up against you know, the number one red zone defense

181
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: here in Denver. So, how are you hoping Lamar Jackson

182
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: and company really look to fix that this weekend. Yeah,

183
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think running the ball on the red

184
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: zone would certainly help. Uh, you know, the Ravens have

185
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards. He's gonna be back for a second straight

186
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: game and probably even a little bit stronger than he

187
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: was in as diverse. If you can run the ball

188
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: down there that early opens things up a lot. But

189
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, they're they've looked at everything. The red zone

190
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: has been a real bugaboo for this offense, and I

191
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: think schematically they're gonna have some some different wrinkles and

192
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: it's a it's a death been a focus this week.

193
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: And like you said, the Broncos are a really good

194
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: red zone defense, and the Ravens know, hey, you know

195
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: in these games that we're supposed to win, you know

196
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: on paper at least, like you can't let teams hang around,

197
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: especially teams with Russell Wilson and as much talent as

198
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos have. You know, those teams hang hang close.

199
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson can beat you down the stretch and in

200
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: the second half for sure, So you know, they know

201
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: that they need to capitalize early in games, and and

202
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: and kind of build leads on people looking at the

203
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Ravens defense. I know, the run defense. They held the

204
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: Jaguars to only thirty eight rushing yards last week. As

205
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, this Denver offense tries to continue to try

206
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: and build their running game or get that running game going.

207
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: How do you want to see the Ravens defense really

208
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: build off that performance on Sunday. Yeah, I don't think

209
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: the runs defense is gonna change. It's it's been pretty

210
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: dominant and the players in there, you know, are just

211
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: very reliable guys. I don't think that anything's going to

212
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: change there. We know Latavious very well, he was with

213
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: his last year. So, uh so I expect that the

214
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: Ravens are probably gonna a pretty good job against the

215
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: Broncos run game. And the question is, then, you know,

216
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: can Russell escape the pressure? Can the Ravens style at

217
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: pressure if they get him into third and long situations

218
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: and whatnot? Uh? You know, Trevor Lawrence stood in there

219
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: and made some big time throwers in those situations. So

220
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: if the Ravens pass rush, which has been pretty good

221
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: this year, can see off a little bit, it's gonna

222
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: be a tough, tough sled for the Broncos. Yeah, you

223
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: mentioned that past rush. I know they sacked Trevor Lawrence

224
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: four times on Sunday. They've been really dominant the past

225
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Like you mentioned, who does Russell Wilson

226
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: and company really need to be on the lookout for

227
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: this weekend in that regard? I mean it's really there's

228
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: not one person, you know. I mean Patrick Queen has

229
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: got a lot of sacks. You know, even broke On

230
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: Smith is kind of getting it out on the action now. Uh,

231
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Tias Bowser's back, he's getting a lot of sax and

232
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: Justin Houston, his tenth in the league with nine sacks,

233
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: is here. So it's not really that the Ravens have

234
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: one edge rusher that you're like, you know, like a T. J.

235
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: Watt or a Bosa or whatever that you say, oh

236
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: my gosh, I have to watch that guy. But but

237
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: it's Michael Donald's done a good job up of kind

238
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: of mixing and matching and cornerback blitzes and safety blitzzes

239
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So there's not really one guy. Well, Ryan,

240
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: looking at this game as a whole, who do you

241
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: think is really the mash up to watch this weekend.

242
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: I think it's on the perimeter, you know, I think

243
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: that the Broncos. Obviously there's Courtland Sutton out there. Here's

244
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: a big time player, you know. Marlon Humphreys kind of

245
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: a little bit banged up. Was not in practice due

246
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: to an ankle injury yesterday. So if the Ravens are

247
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: shorthand in the corner, Broncos still have some good wide receivers.

248
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: Will see if Jerry Judy plays, you know, we'll see

249
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: about Handler. Uh. You know, if those guys are out

250
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: there and Russ starts to cook, you know, and the

251
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: Ravens a shorthand in a corner, then you can be

252
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: in a dangerous position. So I look at whoever's out there,

253
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: if it's Marlon or whatnot versus Courtland Sun the last

254
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: one here for you, Ryan, Who Who's one guy you

255
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: really really want to see step up for the Ravens

256
00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: this weekend? Yeah? Sorry, I'm getting You're good. Yes, I'd

257
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: have to say probably. I think they need to protect

258
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: Lamar a little better. Uh. You know, Morgan Moses the

259
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: right tackle I think will be a big one. Does

260
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Broncos have some pass rushers so, you know, making sure

261
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: they keep Lamar upright will be big keep I won't

262
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: keep you talking any longer. Ryan, So if you set

263
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,360
