1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Welcome into Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan Ink here 2 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: with Cliffton Brown, who's going to step in for Garrett 3 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: Downing today to break down the film from the Ravens 4 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: forty one to thirty eight overtime thriller in the Jungle. 5 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: You didn't know I was going to break out with 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, did you? 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: I did not. Man, That one caught me off of God. 8 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 3: Hang with me, Cliff. 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: All right, it's gonna be a bumpy ride, as it 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: always is. 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: Your pump, I can tell your phone. 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 3: Well, this film got me all excited, all right, Cliff. 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: So you know, as expected with such a game, such 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: a high scoring game, the offensive tape was great. The 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: defensive tape not as great. But we're going to start 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: with the offensive film, and you have to start with 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, who, by the way, I'll just get this 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: out of away right now, because there's no sense in 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: drawing out the suspense. Okay, the dog of the week 20 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: is none other than Lamar Jackson. I mean, come on, 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: this was the easiest dog of all dogs. Okay that 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: that dog, that dog got picked. 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: First, nanimous MVP, unanimous dog. 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: Right exactly exactly So, Cliff, what I want to talk 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: about with Lamar and what stood out to me most 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: besides maybe the greatest highlight of his career, which that's 27 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: not an easy crown to hold there. Beyond that, what 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: really impressed me in this game was the way that 29 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: he handled the Bengals blitzing. And you know, a talking 30 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: point throughout Lamar's career has been handling the blitz, handling 31 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure, specific specifically covers zero blisses. You know, 32 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: there's like these still have flashbacks to. 33 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: That game down in Miami. 34 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: You know, even last year's AFC Championship game, the Bengals 35 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: and Steve Spagnolo blitzed forty three and a half percent 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: of the time, very high blitz rate, and then played 37 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: man to a man lock up coverage on the outside 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: and you know, held the Ravens to ten points in 39 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: that game. So that has been one of the ways 40 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: that teams there's not you know, everybody's always guessing, how 41 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: do you defend Lamar Jackson this offense. It's not an 42 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: easy feet but that's been one of the ways that 43 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: teams have had some success. And the Bengals aren't attacking 44 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: defense and they attacked in this game. So they blitzed 45 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: forty two point six percent of the time. They had 46 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: cover zero blitzes seventeen percent of the time. Now, they 47 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: didn't always bring all that pressure, that's what they showed. 48 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: They didn't always bring all those extra Russiers, but they 49 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: they brought the heat right. And this was unlike what 50 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson had seen really yet this season, where he 51 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: saw a blitz rate of just twenty three and a 52 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: half percent. This is a change, right and in Cliff, 53 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: you know as well as I do, that that was 54 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: really all the pre snap stuff. Getting on the same 55 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: page with receivers, getting the blitz protections right, getting into 56 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: the right play against what opponents are showing blitzing or 57 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: not has been an off season focus for Lamar Jackson 58 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: this offense, and I think we saw a lot of 59 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,279 Speaker 1: growth in that area absolutely. 60 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 4: I mean he was able to turn what has been 61 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: used against him to slow him down sometimes as an advantage. 62 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 4: He was able to use the vulnerability of the blitz. 63 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: The blitz is a risk defense. 64 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 4: I mean you're trying to pressure the quarterback, but you're 65 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: also leaving spots where if he identifies it quickly enough 66 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 4: that you can take advantage of being blitzed. Well, Lamar 67 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 4: in this game took advantage of being blitzed. And if 68 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 4: that continues to be a pattern, then the answer to 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: the question how do you start Lamar Jackson stop him 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 4: becomes even more difficult if he becomes someone who you're 71 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: afraid the blitz or who is continually hurting you when 72 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 4: you do blitz, that's another step in him becoming even 73 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 4: harder to stop. 74 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, completely agree, and just the stats behind it. Lamar 75 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: was fourteen of twenty for one hundred and eighty three 76 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns against the blitz. That's a one 77 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: thirty one point nine passer rating. Against the Cover zero 78 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: blitz specifically, which is more of an all out blitz, 79 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: he was five of eight for fifty yards and both 80 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: those touchdowns came against Cover zero when he bought bought 81 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: extra time getting away from the blitz to hit shod 82 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: Bateman on the crosser coming across the formation, and he 83 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: also found Charlie Kohler. Now is a goal line situation, 84 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: so it's a little bit different, but time and time 85 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: again in high pressure situations. 86 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, not only was it high. 87 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: Pressure because literally they brought a lot of pressure with 88 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: the blitz, but high pressure in that you faced three 89 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: separate point deficits in this game in the second half. 90 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: Like you talk about just high. 91 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: Pressure situations, and Lamar Jackson delivered absolutely. 92 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: I mean, there were so many turning points in that game. 93 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: But I thought, you know, the Jamar Chase one play touchdown, 94 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 4: I mean that hurt. 95 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: That hurt me a little bit. 96 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 4: Like you know, you can tell the Ravens to have 97 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 4: it rolling offensively, if the defense can get a stop, 98 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: maybe the Ravens can take the lead. And then before 99 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: Lamar even has a chance really to sit down and 100 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 4: get a cup of water, chases. 101 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: Running to the end zone. 102 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 4: That put to me the offense even in a higher 103 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: pressure situation where they have to answer again just to 104 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 4: get within three points, and they were able to do that. 105 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it was a shootout. 106 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 4: And Lamar knew it, Burrow knew it, and the offense 107 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: knew it. Every time they had touched the football they 108 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: needed to score and they were able to do it. 109 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: Yep. 110 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: One thing I didn't mention that I thought more about afterwards. 111 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: I didn't mention this in the reaction part immediately after 112 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: the game. 113 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 3: Was what this. 114 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: You know, I said, this is a big win mentally 115 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: for the Ravens. And this is aside from the x's 116 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: and o's standpoint, but I think it's also big because 117 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, you can have the mentality of, oh, we 118 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: can come back from a big deficit, and you can 119 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: think that you can do that, but until you do it, 120 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: you don't really know, right. And when you have this 121 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: and not that they've never done this, you know, the 122 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: Colts game a couple of years ago comes to mind, right, 123 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: But when you've done it this year and you have 124 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: that feather in your cap, you have that in your 125 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: back pocket, like they're gonna be down in games again 126 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: this season, right, Look, the Ravens are one of the 127 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: best teams. They oftentimes have built big leads, and more 128 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: of the critique has been they haven't held leads, not 129 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: so much that they haven't come back, but they're gonna 130 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: be behind again, right. And the fact that now you 131 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: can you have this to draw upon to say, remember 132 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: that game in since I man like, we we can 133 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: do this, you know, I think that that's a big 134 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: thing mentally. 135 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 4: It is, and I mean, you know, when you're down 136 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 4: more than a score in the second half. Then it 137 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 4: raises the question, well, how much do you want to 138 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 4: still you know, not get away from giving the ball 139 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: to Derrick Henry that you know, we may run out 140 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 4: of time we have we have to start opening it up. 141 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: And I think in the past, you know, early in 142 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 4: Lamar's career and the way that they played offense and 143 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 4: that it was pretty much felt like if you could 144 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: get the Ravens down in the second half, they were 145 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 4: going to have a hard time winning or and certainly 146 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 4: had to get out of character of what they wanted 147 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: to do to beat you. 148 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: And we've seen that happen, like they've gotten out a 149 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: character and it has not turned out well. 150 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: Right, this was the departure they are thinking. 151 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 4: They are turning the page now. Yes, being a offense 152 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 4: that can beat you either way. 153 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: We saw a. 154 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 4: Kansas City game, even though they lost, you know, they 155 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 4: came within the toe nail of maybe winning. 156 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: That game totally. 157 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 4: Now we've seen in this game where again they add 158 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 4: to score time and time again, and they were behind 159 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 4: most of the game. 160 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: They caught up and won and kept scoring. 161 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: So that is something when you can win both ways, 162 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 4: and then they still close the door with Derek Henry 163 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: in the overtime. So when you can be a team, 164 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 4: they can be a team that when they get you down, 165 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 4: you're in trouble, and a team. 166 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: Where if you get them down, they're still trouble. That's 167 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: what you want as an offense. 168 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: Absolutely, yep. 169 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: So the Raymonds offense, by the way, is ranked number 170 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: one in the league now in yards per game, and 171 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: it's not really close. They're number two in scoring in 172 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: the league, behind the Washington Commanders. 173 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: So they'll face Sunday at M ANDT. Banks Stadium. 174 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: So just to continue with our exes and nose breakdown here, 175 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: I thought another really important facet of this game was 176 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: the emergence of some of these of the receivers, not 177 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: just the top guys, but across the board. You know, 178 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: you have guys like Charlie Coleer making plays, Tyler Wallace 179 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: making big plays. And what I saw when I looked 180 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: at the film was just the really high level of play. 181 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: I'm talking tight window catches, particularly in the fourth down. 182 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: So Lamar had five tight window throws in the fourth 183 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: quarter alone. A tight window throw, as defined by Next 184 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: Gen Stats, is when there's less than one yard of 185 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: separation between receiver and defensive back. The average amount of 186 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: separation on this four So the Ravens caught four of 187 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: those five tight window throws. The average separation was zero 188 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: point seventy five yards. Mark Andrews made a spectacular good 189 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: grab on a twenty seven yard throw from Lamar Jackson 190 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: that I thought was his best throw from the end zone. 191 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: It was right after the Chris Collier kind of kickoff 192 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: gaff and Lamar from his own end zone, pressure rate 193 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: in his face, fluttered a perfect pass out to Mark Andrews. 194 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: Great throw, great catch. Zay Flowers. A couple of excellent 195 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: catches thirteen yard grab, twelve yard grab in the fourth quarter, 196 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: Charlie Kohler even that ball being stuffed into a small 197 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: little window there on the goal line. I thought that 198 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: the plays that the receivers made, and then Tyler Wallace, 199 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: those weren't tight window catches, but good plays by him, 200 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: good routes to get open and convert on a key 201 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: third down. I thought that the plays, the play of 202 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: the wide receivers was really a good sign, especially after 203 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: two weeks in which there's a lot of grumbles outside 204 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: this facility about well, you know, the wide receivers aren't 205 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: getting the ball that much or they you know, are 206 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: they all they're cracked up to be? You know they're 207 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: gonna be so run heavy. Those guys had to wait 208 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: for their turn, and when the opportunity came, they delivered. 209 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: No question. 210 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 4: I mean you mentioned all those throws he made, you know, 211 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 4: I thought, yeah, the touchdown of cold or another another 212 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: great throw. 213 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: They were all over the place. 214 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 4: Early in the game, he had the first completion of 215 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: the Zay I mean back foot on the ground, hits 216 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 4: them right end stride so he can keep running with 217 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 4: the ball. 218 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: I mean, Lamar was on point, but yes, the receivers 219 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: as well. I mean everything seemed like every play. 220 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 4: That needed to be made was made, and he threw 221 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 4: it to so many different receivers. I mean it's one, 222 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 4: you know Zay was the main guy, but was it 223 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 4: nine different receivers, nine different targets he threw to in 224 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 4: that game? And that, to me makes you even more 225 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 4: difficult to stop because who do you. 226 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 2: Load up on. I mean, Zay was obviously a guy that. 227 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 4: You know he was going to be looking for a lot, 228 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 4: but he was hitting guys from all directions. They were 229 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 4: all stepping up, was like they were all feeding off 230 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 4: each other. I love the Bateman touchdown where he stayed alive. 231 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 4: You know, we talked about, you know, Isaiah Likely being 232 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 4: a guy that Lamar seems to really have a connection 233 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 4: with when he scrambles. Certainly I feel that way with 234 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 4: Jay Flowers as well, But that was another play with 235 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 4: the Bateman touchdown, Lamar's looking for someone, Bateman kept himself alive, 236 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 4: got wide open, caught the ball, and then got into 237 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 4: the end zone. They start clicking like that. That's just 238 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 4: another level of offense. So it was a good day 239 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 4: for the entire offense. And yeah, your point about the 240 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,479 Speaker 4: receivers stepping up as a group collectively. 241 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: I thought this was their best game of season, yep. 242 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: And then, of course, how could we forget Isaiah Likely 243 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: the play he made on you know, Lamar's ragged all 244 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: touchdown where he stiff armed Sam Hver twice. You know, 245 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: Isaiah Likely finished that play as spectacular as Lamar was, 246 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: which was unbelievable. Is likely to go up and catch 247 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: that like a basketball rebound between a couple defenders. 248 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: Was a heck of a play. 249 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: And if you haven't done so, go check out my 250 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: cover story on Isaiah Likely that we put up today 251 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: and that basketball kind of play that's in that's in 252 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: his background. He was a basketball player in his youth. 253 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: That was his kind of first love before he came 254 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: to football. And you still you see why some of 255 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: those skills certainly transferred. So go check out that story, Cliff. 256 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more about the 257 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: offensive line, and we talk about blitzing. Right, the heavy 258 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: Bengals blitz The Ravens blocked it up pretty darn well too. 259 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: You know, if you if that blitz comes through untouched, 260 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot Lamar jacksonon do And I 261 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: thought the Ravens offensive line, you know, they had the safety, 262 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: they had some miscues. It wasn't perfect, but I thought 263 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: it was pretty good, and in particular from Ronnie Stanley, 264 00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: who has really returned to form. I mean, Ronnie Stanley 265 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: is back, Cliff. 266 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he said it. 267 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 4: That's what he wanted to prove this year that he 268 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 4: was back to being the best left tackle in football, 269 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 4: and he is certainly now. It seems like every week 270 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 4: he's playing better and better. Thank goodness, he's healthy. And 271 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 4: I thought John Harbaugh made a good point about that. 272 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 4: You know this offseason. He felt Stanley was able to 273 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 4: work on his body and work on getting in peak 274 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 4: condition because he was healthy enough to do so. 275 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: He's been at every practice every day. 276 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 4: He's established a rhythm and yeah, he's he's a tremendous player, 277 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 4: and I think he's reminding people how good he was 278 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 4: by showing them how good he is. 279 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: And if you have. 280 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 4: That backside, that blind side locked up as a quarterback, 281 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 4: that adds to your comfort. I mean, we all we've 282 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: seen Lamark and do extending plays and you know you're 283 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 4: not gonna block everybody every play, but having that blind side, 284 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 4: feeling secure on that side is really important for a quarterback. 285 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 4: And the way Ronnie Stanley is playing right now, that 286 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 4: to me has been a part of you know, Lamar 287 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 4: Jackson's play. 288 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: Yep. 289 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: I think when you turn on the tape you certainly 290 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: see his ability to anchor a lot better than he 291 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: was last year. The strength that he has in his 292 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: lower and upper body has certainly returned. I mean, he's 293 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: going against Trey Hendrickson right, so this is one of 294 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: the best defensive ends in football. He had seventeen and 295 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: a half sacks last year. Ronnie Stanley unfortunately missed both 296 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: games against the Bengals last year due to his nagging 297 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: kind of knee injuries. Stepped in against Trey Hendrickson and 298 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: he held Trey to a Pro Football Focus pass rush 299 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: grade of fifty four point two. That's the second lowest 300 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: he's had in a game since the start of last season. 301 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: Trey Henderson had seven pressures on twenty eight opportunities, zero sacks. 302 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: You did have a roughing the passer penalty? Did you 303 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: notice by the way you were at the games? He 304 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: probably didn't on the TV broadcast. This was pretty great 305 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: to Trey Hendrickson hit Lamar Jackson late on that and 306 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: got the roughing the passer penalty. Trey kind of gets 307 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: up and holds his hand out, you know, to help 308 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson off the ground. Lamar said, nah, nah, No, 309 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: did not take that hand. He just kind of rolled over, 310 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: stood up. Nah, I'm not interested. It was that, you know, 311 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: when you talk about the dog, the dog of the week, 312 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: that's kind of a dog move right there. 313 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: I didn't see that, but I like it. 314 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 3: It was good. It was good. 315 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I think for the Ravens offensive line, 316 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: Roger grosen Garten, you know, again got another start, played 317 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: the whole game at right tackle, and I thought he 318 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: had a up and down game. I thought, you know, 319 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: the safety was certainly a tough moment for the Ravens, 320 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: and it looked like Roger. Looking at the film, it 321 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: seems like Roger did not pick up Sam Hubbard as 322 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: he was supposed to. 323 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: That's what it looks like on the film. We don't 324 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 3: really know for sure, but. 325 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: Patrick Riccard was surprised to see Trey Hendrickson or Sam 326 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: Hubbard in the backfield unblocked, and two guys went to 327 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: block outside Isaiah Likely and Roger blocked the same guy. 328 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: So it looked like that was the mistake. But I 329 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: thought Roger rebounded well and did a good job against 330 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: Sam Hubbard in pass protection, particularly allowed just four hurries 331 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: on forty four pass rush pass pro reps. So I thought, overall, 332 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: a good game for Roger Rose and Gardeners. He looks 333 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: to establish himself as a full time starter at right tackle. 334 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 335 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 4: I mean, I think one thing we've seen from the 336 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 4: jump with Rose of Garden is the play. Whatever the 337 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 4: play is good or bad, does not carry over to 338 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 4: the next play. 339 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: Yes, that's a great point. 340 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 4: When you know he got you know, beat for the 341 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 4: sack in Kansas City. You think a young player for 342 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 4: game one, you know, he's nervous though, here we go. Yep, 343 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 4: he responded, and that's been his mo in these games. 344 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 4: I mean he's only making his second start. He's a 345 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 4: rule and yes, if he does make a mistake, he 346 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 4: can follow up with a good play. That is a 347 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 4: very good sign for young player. He's resilient and he's 348 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 4: he's getting better. So they've had this starting lineup now, 349 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 4: you know, these last two games with him as a 350 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 4: starter at right tackle, they've won them both. They've been 351 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 4: able to make a lot of plays offensively, with thirty 352 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 4: five points against Buffalo forty one against the Bengals. 353 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 3: That's pretty good. 354 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: Yep, So good stuff offensively for the Ravens.

Joe Burrow had a 370 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: field day, three hundred and ninety two passing yards, five touchdowns. 371 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: And you know, when I look at the film, a 372 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: part of me says, Joe Burrow just had a really 373 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: good game. That's just that dude stood in there against 374 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: pressure and delivered time and time again. His completion percentage 375 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: over expected was twelve point two percent over expected according 376 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: to the Next Gen SAS, so that that's an indicator 377 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: of this man's just making some throws that he's not 378 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: expected to complete. And he was seven to nine against pressure. 379 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: He and lamarj Act both handled pressure very well. He 380 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: was seven to nine f one hundred and four yards 381 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns, So. 382 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 3: I think that's part of it. 383 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: You got to kind of tip your cap to a degree, 384 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: just like I thought Gardner Minshew made some throws in 385 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: that Raiders game. And I don't like quarterbacks con seeming 386 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: to play at the top of their game every time 387 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: they face the Ravens. But I and I'm not sitting 388 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: here trying to make excuses, but I think when you 389 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: watch the film, those are the facts, right. 390 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, Joe Burrow Newslaer, he's a great player, 391 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 4: great quarterback. 392 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase too, I mean. 393 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, news flash, he's a good watch. 394 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 2: Sever Yeah. I don't want to digress. I don't not 395 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: if you're not gonna pay Jamar Chase. I don't know 396 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: you're trying to pay. But I think he's pretty good myself. 397 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: I don't I think they shouldn't pay him. I mean, 398 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: just me personally. 399 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: Get him out the division, right, get him out of 400 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: the comm NFC. Yes, yes, but yeah again. 401 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 4: But part of it too, as I'm sure we'll get to, 402 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 4: is in addition to the great plays they made, there 403 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 4: were occasions where it was too easy. Guys were too open, 404 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 4: too many yards after the Cats, too many receivers on 405 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 4: occasion who got too open, and really until late in 406 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 4: the game, the defense never stopped their momentum. They finally 407 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 4: did when it counted the most, but for really four 408 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 4: fifths of that game, the Ravens never stopped the Bengals momentum. 409 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 4: And yeah, it it definitely leaves them with a lot 410 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 4: of work to do, particularly past defense, and it has 411 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 4: been that way since week one. I mean, it's not 412 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 4: like this was just a one time thing you mentioned, Minshew. 413 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 4: We expect Patrick Mahomes to have, you know, some plays. 414 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: They did a great. 415 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 4: Job against the Bills and then you're thinking, okay. 416 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: They're they're on the right track. This game was another 417 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: wake up call. 418 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think that there's you know, their scheme, 419 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, was were they not in the right coverages? 420 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: And then there is they're just execution right. And there's 421 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: when I look at this, I thought the Bengals wide 422 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: receivers just beat the Ravens cornerbacks too often. 423 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: And that was the matchup. 424 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey talked about it's us versus them, that's that's 425 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: the match of the up of the game. 426 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: And I thought the Bengals won that matchup. 427 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: And you know, you talk about the Bills versus the Bengals. Well, 428 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a very big difference is the players 429 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: at wide receiver for the Bills versus the Bengals, Right, 430 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Khalil Shakir was their right the Bills leading 431 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver coming into that game. Right, Well, they got 432 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: leveled up, and I thought t Higgins, you know, at 433 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: the top of his routes, and he's a physical guy 434 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: and he gets he was getting away with some pushoffs 435 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and Jamar chases too, but hey, 436 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: they weren't calling it, and and I thought the Bengals 437 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: just created too much separation on some of those routes. 438 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: And were they just gotten a flow where they felt 439 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: like they couldn't be stopped and they weren't getting stopped. 440 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 3: So that was one issue. 441 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: Then I think that there were a handful of plays 442 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: where there's a breakdown in coverage, specifically the forty one 443 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: yard touchdown at the end of the first half. When 444 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: you look at the all twenty two angle on that, 445 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: it looked like, you know, you have basically Eddie Jackson 446 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: and Marlon Humphrey back deep. Eddie Jackson took the there's 447 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: two post patterns, both to the towards the sideline. Eddie 448 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: Jackson went down on the first and it seemed like 449 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: Marlon was supposed to have the deep one continued to 450 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: kind of trail back on his deep third, he kind 451 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: of hesitated on that more shallow post and that left 452 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: the whole open behind him that Jamar Chase ran into. 453 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: And again, I mean a great throw, great throw by 454 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: Joe burd Of putting a bucket there, but that that 455 00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: was certainly a mistake. 456 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he was too old, he was too open, 457 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 4: and you know it's right before halftime. 458 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 2: Uh, he's there. 459 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 4: Obviously top receiver. You releast you don't want to give 460 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 4: up a big play in that spot. I mean it's like, 461 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 4: make sure take take him away if you can in 462 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 4: that situation, if he's going to target Chase deep, Yeah, 463 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 4: make it be a context contested catch where it has 464 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 4: to be a great throw and a great catch then 465 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 4: you can got to understand. But yeah, for their number 466 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 4: one guy to get that open in that situation to 467 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 4: you know, put them ahead at halftime, that that was 468 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 4: the that's the deflating play. And yeah, there were too 469 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 4: many of those. The swing swing pass that he ran 470 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 4: took to the house for seventy yards. There were guys 471 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 4: who had opportunity to tackle. 472 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 2: Him, did not. 473 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was just yeah, didn't get off blocks, 474 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: didn't tackle done. 475 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 3: You know, that's that was. It's pretty cut and dry. 476 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 2: But the big blades you give up big blades like 477 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 2: that usually don't win. 478 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 4: They needed, obviously a great day by the offense to 479 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 4: pull that game. 480 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 3: Out, yep. 481 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: And I thought when you look at the coverages that 482 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: the Ravens ran, you know, Zach Gore was getting a 483 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: ton of a ton of love after that Bill's game 484 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: for the variety of coverages that he used, using a 485 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: lot of defensive backs, and they did that again, mix 486 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: and match coverages. You saw them. You know, at times 487 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: they were bracketing Jamar Chase. You know, Zach was trying 488 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: everything and not a whole lot was working. But when 489 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: I look at the tape on this one, I think 490 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: that it was an execution issue, which I think, you know, 491 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: is good in the fact that the Ravens have high 492 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: quality players at cornerback, right, they just do. And I 493 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: think that Brandon Stevens, Marlin Humphrey, Nate Wiggins. You know, 494 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: Nate's a young guy who he's going to continue to improve. 495 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: They're super talented. 496 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, they have the talent at This is a 497 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: loaded unit and that's what's so confusing about why they're 498 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: getting beat uh and they're having too many certainly too 499 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: many just miscues, just too many blown coverages. I mean, 500 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: you're going back to Kansas City with the Xavier Worthy 501 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: you touchdown, just too many of those that they really 502 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: need to lock in on. So that that I'm sure 503 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: will be a major focus this week, especially going against 504 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: j Jaydeon Daniels of the Commanders, who looks like you 505 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: throw it's a pretty good, nice deep ball, So that 506 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,239 Speaker 1: will be a point of focus for this team. How 507 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: do you think, Cliff, like, what do they do? What's 508 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: the fix here? What do they do to turn this around? 509 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: In your opinion? Do they do they need to make 510 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: some personnels at ar Darius Washington? You know, do they 511 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: are their personnel changes? Arthur Mallett is going to come 512 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: back at some point here after coming off ir What 513 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: do you think happens. 514 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question. 515 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 4: I don't know, but my my thoughts on it are 516 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 4: a I think that you know, Zach, I think he 517 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 4: has agree with you that he's mixed things up, and 518 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 4: you know, they're doing doing a lot of things. 519 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 2: Not they're not easy to. 520 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 4: Predict what they're going to do defensively, but sometimes maybe 521 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 4: you need to settle down and make it a little simpler, 522 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 4: especially when the defenses struggling a little bit. Maybe, you know, 523 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 4: particularly early in games, maybe keep it more basic. Certainly, 524 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 4: I feel like they've got to do a better job 525 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 4: taking away the other team's number one threat. Devonte Adams 526 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 4: took over a game in the fourth quarter. La mar 527 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 4: Chez really dominated at the dominant game this game coming 528 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 4: up against Washington. You know, Terry McLaurin one of the 529 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 4: best deep ball receivers in the league, and now he's 530 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 4: got a quarterback who can get them deep consistently. They 531 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 4: they can't get hurt by big plays by McLaurin. So 532 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 4: so that's easier said than done. But you know, limits 533 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 4: maybe his damage underneath more. Be very aware of situations 534 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 4: where he's going deep. Whoever is covering him gets help. 535 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 4: And yeah, if they can just minimize some of these 536 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 4: deep plays by the number one targets, that would give 537 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 4: them a better chance to win. Again, that's easier said 538 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 4: than done, but yeah, if every time you know, at 539 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 4: top receiver's gonna come in and have a big day 540 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 4: against the. 541 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: Ravens, it's going to make it more difficult for them 542 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: to win. 543 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, all right, now onto the better defensive stuff 544 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: that we saw in this game. 545 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 3: You know, for as much. 546 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: Heat as the defense is taken and understandably so, I 547 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: think they understand they have to be better than that. 548 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: Certainly thirty eight points. They closed out the game right 549 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: as much as like we've all talked about, like the 550 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: defense needs to get a stop, got to close out 551 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: these games. 552 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: They did that. 553 00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: So fourth quarter, Ravens are down three and Marlon Humphrey 554 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: comes up with the huge interception in the Layton regulation. 555 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: What's interesting about that play is that earlier in the game, 556 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: and it wasn't exactly the same route, but Jamar Chase 557 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: round ran kind of an out and in almost like 558 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: the shape of a V almost that you could see 559 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: first out. Then flipped his hips and got inside Marlon 560 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: Humphrey and just way too much separation that he got 561 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: on that route ended up being kind of a high 562 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: throw from Joe Burrow that Jamar Chase made a spectacular 563 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: catch on. He was able to kind of double catch 564 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: it because Marlon wasn't super close. And then you see 565 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: later in that game, fourth quarter in the Bengals, it 566 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: wasn't just Jamar Chase and Marlon Humphrey, but Te Higgins 567 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: had success called a touchdown on a slant. They were 568 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: having too much success on slants, which is an issue 569 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: that we've seen in multiple games this season. But it 570 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: was pretty awesome to see fourth quarter Jamar Chase tries 571 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: to run a slant and Marlon Humphrey just put up 572 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: the stop sign and cut that off for that interception. 573 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: It's good to see them make that adjustment in a 574 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: critical situation. And by the way, Marlon Humphrey is tied 575 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: for the lead in interceptions in the AFC with two. 576 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys tied, but he's at the 577 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: top of the leaderboard in the AFC right now. 578 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I mean, you know I talked about earlier 579 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 4: about Rosengarten being a guy who can put the last 580 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 4: play behind them with Marlon for sure, I mean super competitor. 581 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 2: And yeah, in a game where you know. 582 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 4: There were plays of the secondary and one to have 583 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 4: back against the team is read offense is red hot 584 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 4: in a big spot against a great player. He made 585 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 4: a great play. I mean, Joe Burrow called it a 586 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 4: great play. Jase kind of said that he didn't he 587 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 4: would have liked to have run that route over. But 588 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 4: Marlin anticipated where the ball was going to be. He 589 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 4: was there first. A lot of times, as you mentioned, 590 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 4: you know, you tied for the lead number two. A 591 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 4: lot of times you do see defensive backs drop the 592 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 4: ball in that situation. They're in position they may make 593 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 4: the catch, they don't. 594 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Marlon, you know, Marlon doesn't have like ed 595 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: reed hands out there, and but that was a pretty 596 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: impressive pick, right. 597 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 2: But he did it in that situation. He and they 598 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 2: had to have that play, So yeah. 599 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 4: I mean give him tons of credit for being so 600 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 4: competitive using his smarts. 601 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 2: And it's sad. 602 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 4: As I mentioned before, Marlin is the type of corner 603 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 4: that you know, he doesn't mind getting his hands. 604 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 2: Dirty at all. 605 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 4: You can put him near a line of scrimmage, he 606 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 4: makes plays. 607 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: He's physical, he's not just a cover guy. 608 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 4: And that was a situation that, yeah, close to the 609 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, he anticipated. 610 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: And made a huge play that they don't win without. 611 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 3: Yep, yep, totally. 612 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: And then another defensive leader who stepped up to close 613 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: out that game was Nomdi mat a bk that sack 614 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: that he had, so the Bengals justin Tucker kicks the 615 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,239 Speaker 1: game tying field goal. The Bengals still had plenty of 616 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: time to go back down that field and kick a 617 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: walk off, game winning field goal or whatever they wanted 618 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: to do. They had time and the timeouts to do it. 619 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 3: And so. 620 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: Nomdi Mattabike lines up first and ten and he lines 621 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: up outside out wide at the defensive end and just 622 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: flashes into the backfield. 623 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 3: It was a nice, nice kind of pick set by 624 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 3: David Ajabo. 625 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: It was a good teamwork and Nomdi on the stunt, 626 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: comes around up the middle and just pounced on Joe 627 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: Burrow like a lion. 628 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 3: I mean it was. 629 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: That was an athletic play, not only just the quickness 630 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: off the end, but then to finish it that way 631 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: and just drag him down. That was a heck of 632 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: a play from Nomdi Matabik. 633 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a big man's play for sure. And think 634 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 4: about the situation, I mean, fourth quarter and at the 635 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 4: end of the game where the defense has been out 636 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 4: there a lot and he comes off that edge like 637 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 4: so fresh so fast speaks of his conditioning too. I 638 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 4: mean it was hot there. I mean you mentioned I 639 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 4: was there. It was it was more than just a 640 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 4: warm day. It was it was hot. You saw people 641 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 4: coming up, you know, from the from the field to 642 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 4: the press box before the get in. 643 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 2: They're sweating, you know, like, man, it's hot. 644 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 4: You know by the fourth quarter, those guys have been 645 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 4: out there a long time. 646 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: And yeah, the Ravens. 647 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 4: John Harbaugh mentioned that two out of the game that 648 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 4: he thought that the Ravens being in physical condition was 649 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 4: part of them being able to pull this game out. 650 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 4: And you know, Mattabie is a great player, but yeah, 651 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 4: a lot of linemen don't have that type of juice 652 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 4: at that stage of the game to make that type 653 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 4: of play, and he did, and like you mentioned that, Okay, 654 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 4: that ensured that. Okay, now we're going to get the overtime. 655 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 4: It wasn't a lock when Justin makes that kick, which 656 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 4: you know was huge obviously, but it's still not a lock. 657 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 2: Okay. 658 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 4: The way the Bengals are moved from the ball, they 659 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 4: may come down and kicked their own field goal to 660 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 4: win it. That kind of Okay, we're going to have 661 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 4: a shot in overtime to pull it out. 662 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 3: Yep, yep. 663 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: I think that's a great point on just the point 664 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: of the game. To show that kind of effort and explosion, 665 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: I think is impressive. And then Nomdi did it again 666 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: in overtime after Lamar's fullble. 667 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 3: The Bengals are auto. 668 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: They start in field goal range and if the Ravens 669 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: let him get a first down there, let him get 670 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 1: much of anything. This is a chippy for the win. 671 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: And the Ravens stuffed him on three straight run plays, 672 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: the final of which I thought was particularly impressive. Nom 673 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: The just bench pressed Orlando Brown Junior into the backfield 674 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: tackle for no gain. 675 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 3: I mean it was. 676 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: He he sent him two yards into the backfield on 677 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: that play, and it was just that I think made 678 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 1: a big difference. And you know, it was a bad snap, 679 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: the hole didn't get down all that stuff. It was 680 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 1: a low snap, bad hold that can certainly contribute to 681 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: the field goal. But I think the fact that the 682 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: Ravens stuffed him on three straight plays kind of gave 683 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: you a little different temperature than it would have otherwise 684 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: be going into that kick. 685 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 4: Oh no question, I mean, yeah, he knew that he 686 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 4: made it a kick that Okay, if he doesn't strike 687 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 4: it very true from this distance, he's gonna he's gonna 688 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 4: miss it. And you know, obviously Zach Zach Taylor's being 689 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 4: the second guest a lot for calling the three straight runs, 690 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 4: but the Ravens made him pay for it. And yeah, 691 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 4: Namda certainly was part of that. Really the whole defensive line, 692 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 4: you know, I give them credit, but yeah, they made 693 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 4: it where you know what, three running plays they got 694 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 4: a grand total of three yards, which made it a 695 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 4: long field goal, and they didn't execute it properly and 696 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 4: missed it. So yeah, they give up one first down. 697 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 4: Like you said, I think that even maybe with a 698 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 4: badge and that bad hold whatever, he probably makes the kick. 699 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 4: But from that distance it's not a gimme. And fortunately 700 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 4: for the Ravens, he left the door open. And then 701 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 4: Derrick Henry closed it. 702 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: Yep, last play I talk about, you talk about Derreck 703 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: Henry closed the door. That play was interesting because you know, 704 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it got blocked up perfectly. Tyler Wallace 705 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: seemed like he was supposed to wall off Trey Hendrickson inside. 706 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: Hendrickson made a great play getting outside of his block, 707 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: and then the Ravens mid play. It was really impressive 708 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: for them to pass off responsibilities block and responsibilities between 709 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: fullback Patrick Ricard then saw Hendrickson get outside and he 710 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: took him. Tyland saw, okay, I didn't get the block 711 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: on Hendrickson, but then he kicked out and got the 712 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: guy that Ricard was supposed to hit and kind of 713 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: bodied up and just gave that dude a shot. And 714 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: then Derrek Henry saw the lane that opened up the 715 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: lane along with great blocks for a Ronnie Stanley and 716 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 1: Patrick mcarry to really to create that lane for Derrick 717 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: Henry's long run to set up the game winning field goal. 718 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: So I thought that was also really neat watching on film. 719 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: How hey, it wasn't the way they drew it up, 720 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: but they but they finished that one and that was 721 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: obviously the game kind of winning play. 722 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that is impressive if they're connected like that, 723 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 4: you know, blocking down field, making those type of adjustments. 724 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 4: But I mean, let's face it, I mean, you know, 725 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 4: as a teammate and Derek henneedy that, hey, if I 726 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 4: can just get a piece of a guy, he may 727 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 4: be able to do the rest. And that's another situation, 728 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 4: much like with Matt Debue late in the game. Nobody 729 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 4: wants a part of tackling Derrick Henemy anytime, but definitely 730 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 4: an overtime. He's got such an advantage to me being 731 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 4: such a great player who to me always never, very 732 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 4: rarely misses a hole, runs with such force and then 733 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 4: has the stamina to take it a long way and 734 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 4: the speed once he gets an opening. And yeah, I 735 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 4: mean there was a there's a point in his runs 736 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 4: where you can just see it like he may take 737 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 4: it to the house. I actually thought he was gonna 738 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 4: finish that one too too. 739 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 2: Yeah it didn't matter. 740 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 4: But I mean, yeah, like forty yards before that, it's like, oh, 741 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 4: he's he's got a shout to take it. So, yeah, 742 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 4: he can't do it without his blockers. They've done a 743 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 4: great job. I think the Ravens they love blocking for him. 744 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 2: Who wouldn't. 745 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 4: They're doing a good job of doing it. But he 746 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 4: is special. He is special in that situation. He was 747 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 4: a closer. 748 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:23,800 Speaker 2: Again. 749 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: We've seen that happen unfortunately here in Baltimore when he 750 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: was a Tennessee. I think it was an overtime, overtime 751 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,760 Speaker 1: touchdown run for the walk off Baltimore. 752 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 2: Now now too. 753 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 3: That's right. 754 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: And and you know you you brought up Dom, the 755 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: Matabka and the conditioning on a hot day. Derek Henry 756 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: hitting top speed one of his top speeds of his 757 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: career at the end of the game. Pretty darn and 758 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: pressing that dude is that dude is different. 759 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 2: Gotta tip your hat to that. He's special. He's one. 760 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 4: They say it about Lamar, He's one on one, Derek, 761 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 4: he's one of one. 762 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 2: Two. 763 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: Absolutely well, Cliff, you are also one of one.
