1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: You go there and ripped Steelers fans hearts out. Oh man, 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: it becomes It's the best feeling in the world. And 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: I like Marlin's attitude all week. I think he's just 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, he's a cool customer at all times. I 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: don't think Pittsburgh is gonna be too big for him. 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: This Ravens team is getting hot at the right time. 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: Is this one of those you know type teams where 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: you get hot Joe gets in the rhythm. So are 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: you buying that? Yeah, welcome into the lounge. I don't 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: know if you know this, get Grett, but it's Steelers week, baby, 11 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: it's a big one, buddy, So we're gonna we're not 12 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: gonna have a guest on because it's such a big 13 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: week that you and I were the premier guest. We 14 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: need all the time we can get talking about this game. 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: I totally agree. I mean, you know this, there is 16 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: no bigger game the Ravens Steelers. I don't care. I 17 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: mean it's kind of cliche, like I don't care when 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: it is blah blah blah blah blah. And that's all true, 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: but like then you have games like this one that 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: you know are going to be a great game like 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: this is. This has all the makings of another great installment, 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: just as good as last year. On Christmas Day. The 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: division title isn't online. It's as true. It's not as 24 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: good as that. Well it is for the Steelers. Steelers win, 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: they win the division, but it's not on the line. 26 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: It's not. If they win, they win the division. So 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: it's on the line for them. It's not as good 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: as last but anyway, it's still really can I just 29 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: say this real quick, and I know we want to 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: get into an email, but the whole notion that the 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: division has gone, it's unlikely, it's unlikely for the Ravens 32 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: to win the division, get that, but it's not completely 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: out of the question, just like by the Bengel's loss. 34 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: I know why people are saying that. But if the 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: Ravens win this week, Steelers lose to the Patriots and 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: then they lose the Texas, Ravens can get right back 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: in it. So I just don't want to say it's 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: completely gone. The division is on the line, because if 39 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens lose, they're out of the division race. That 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: that is true, but it's not as good as the 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: crisis Anyway, we have an email here. This one's from 42 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: Ashley fleagal uh So, thank you Ashley for emailing us. 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: As always, you can reach us at the lounge at 44 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: Ravens dot NFL dot net. And Ashley said, I recently 45 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: found this podcast and must say I am now a 46 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: devoted listener. I help my mom clean our church on 47 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: Saturday morning and listen to it while we clean. So 48 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: I hope things are getting tedier. Actually, thank you for 49 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: cleaning the church. Great deed. I love the guests that 50 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: you guys have on the show. Sorry we do not 51 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: have one, and it's fun to hearing about the lives 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: of the players. The game on Sunday this past Sunday 53 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: against Lions was a great game. It's nice seeing what 54 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens can do when all phases are working together. 55 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see the Ravens take that to the 56 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: Steelers on Sunday night. Ashally says, I live on the 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: p A Maryland border and most of the people here 58 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: are Steelers fans, which stinks. That's difficult. They are Bandwagon fans. 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: End They keep saying, oh, we have six Super Bowls 60 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: and the only players they can name are big name guys, 61 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: it gets so annoying. Actually says, she just has one question. 62 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: My favorite Ravens players, c J. Mosley. Has he ever 63 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: been on the podcast? If not, I think he needs 64 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: to be on. Keep up the good work, and I 65 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: look forward to more episodes. From a Ravens fan in Pennsylvania. Actually, 66 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: well thank you. Actually to answer your question, yes, Mosley 67 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: has been on the podcast. We had him on last season, 68 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: so he is. He checked the episode thirty three, episode 69 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: thirty three, so he was kind of on the earlier end, 70 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: but he checks the box as a true raven Yeah, exactly, exactly. 71 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to get convince some other guys to 72 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: be true in the coming weeks. Not to say that 73 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: we tried to bring somebody onto this week and they 74 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: stiffed us. That definitely didn't that did not have that 75 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: didn't happen. We just decided we didn't want to have 76 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: a guest this week. You know, podcast didn't come out 77 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: later this week because we had plans to get you know, 78 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: somebody that maybe making their first start, and then exactly didn't. 79 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: A rookie quarterback maybe all right, but it definitely didn't 80 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: get stuck up by that. So yeah, we decided the 81 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: game was the guest. The game is. The game is 82 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: the guests that no, you need no guests on Steelers week. 83 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: But in all honesty, let's talk about this tea. Let's 84 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: talk about Sunday's game. Um, And I mean, the notion 85 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: is starting to creep into a lot of people's minds. 86 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: My mind included, I'm starting to put my chips into 87 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: the middle of the table here that this Ravens team 88 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: is getting hot at the right time. They're starting to 89 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: remind us a little bit and maybe, okay, is this 90 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: one of those you know type teams where you get 91 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: hot Joe gets in the rhythm and we saw that 92 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday he played the best game of the season 93 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: against the lines. So are you buying that? Yeah, I'm 94 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: kind of buying it. I kind of mind it, kind 95 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: of buying it. Yeah. And here's the thing. We all 96 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: knew the defense was going to be really good, and 97 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: it is right. I mean, it's probably even better than 98 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: than it had the stumbles and the run defense there 99 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: for four games out exactly, he's back, he's held the 100 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: Now there's a question mark with Jimmy that hurts. So 101 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big test to see can 102 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: the the elite Ravens defense still be elite without its 103 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: best quarterback. I think it can still be very good, 104 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: but it's gonna take it. It's gonna hurt it. I 105 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be quite as good without Jimmy, 106 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: even though I'm confident in Marlon and I like Reece 107 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: Kennedy a lot um. But anyway, this defense has been 108 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: better in some regards that I even anticipated turnovers. I 109 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: did not think that we were going to lead the 110 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: league in turnovers by a wide margin. Um. And I 111 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: don't see that those necessarily stopping yeh. I mean, I 112 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: think Marlon might be a better playmaker than Jimmy and uh, 113 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: and I think that the pass rushes is geared up. 114 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 1: I don't see why it should slow down. In fact, 115 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: when you have Tim Williams and Tires Bowser who are 116 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: fresh late in the year, I think they can make 117 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: a difference down the stretch a little bit. The secondary 118 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: is playing really well and I don't see that changing 119 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: without with Jimmy out the linebacker. I mean, at every 120 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: level you're creating turnover and problems for the opposing offense. 121 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: So the defense is really really good And we said 122 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: it all along. If a pound the fist, if the 123 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: offense could just be proficient, then this could be a 124 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: really really good team because we also know we have 125 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: in special teams and the offense. Look, it's looking like 126 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: it could be proficient. Yeah, that's the thing. And we've 127 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: all we both have said all along, you don't need 128 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: this offense to be a forty point of game offense. 129 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: That's not necessarily way the team is built because of 130 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: the special teams and because of the defense. But beat 131 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: your nice to be like a high twenty eight points, 132 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: you know, like twenty eight points a game. Twenty eight 133 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: points a game we're going on to feed the best. 134 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Um that's probably is. But but you know, honestly, like, so, 135 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: why is the offense playing better? I think it's a 136 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: couple of things. One. Now, look, I don't want we 137 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: don't want to take one game extrapolate that and say 138 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: that all of the ills of the offense are completely cured. Um. 139 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: I think that that would be getting a little ahead 140 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: of ourselves. That being said, I think that Marty Mortingwig 141 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: made an interesting point this week when he said that 142 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: Joe's healthier than he's been all season. And that maybe 143 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: was part of the reason that there were some early 144 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: season struggles. I mean, what he practiced for a week 145 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: before the first game of the season. We kind we 146 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: all talked about that for so long leading up to 147 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,119 Speaker 1: the season. Then when he went out there and played, 148 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: and I forgot about it. Yeah, you didn't talk about anymore. 149 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: You're like, well, he's out there, he's playing, he looks 150 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: he looks fine, you know, And it was it was 151 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: interesting to hear him bring that up. It kind of 152 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: reminded us, Oh, yeah, that's right. Maybe Joe was struggling 153 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: a little more than we all thought. Yeah. Well the 154 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: other thing too with the offense, and like, the numbers 155 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: are bad for the offense, and look at times it 156 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: has been bad, um, but at this at the same time, 157 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: there's been games and you can go through and you 158 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: look at the schedule when they've just kind of shut 159 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: it down in the second half. Not every game, but 160 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 1: Bengals game to open the season, they basically just shut 161 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: her down the second half, get that early lead, power down, 162 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: and then they just run the ball and try to 163 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: run out the clock. They did the same thing kind 164 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: of against the Raiders, um and so like, and then 165 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: they did that. Um, you know they've done that at 166 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: times throughout the season, and now it's kind of the 167 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: flip side. The different sound effect that we have is that, yeah, right, 168 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: spread it out, spread out the wide receiver, read it 169 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: and throw it. And and I don't know if opening 170 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: it up it's throwing a lot on early downs and 171 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: pushing the ball down the field. Was a direct result 172 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: of Joe talking about after that game that they need 173 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: to play better and they're not gonna win the Super 174 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Bowl with unless they get better on offense. Like, I 175 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: don't know if it was a direct result of that 176 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: or if it just coincide with it and it kind 177 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: of happened at the same time. And and it's I mean, 178 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: it truly is game game the game, you know, what 179 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: is the game playing going to be? For that game, 180 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: the Lions were susceptible in their secondary. They don't have 181 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: great runs defense either. Um, but I think that the 182 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: Ravens felt like they could really attack them through the air. 183 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: And I feel like it's just a convergence of different things. 184 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: They felt like they could attack the Lions through the air. 185 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is healthier and moving better. I mean, when 186 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: you do look back on it now, You're like, Joe 187 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: was kind of stiff in the pocket. I mean I've 188 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: been saying that a lot of the years, Like, dude, 189 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: just if he could move a little better in the pocket. 190 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm not asking for him to suddenly turned into a 191 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: scrambling quarterback. You know, it's not Russell Wilson exactly. It's 192 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: not Russell Wilson. But if he could just move better 193 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: within the pocket to buy himself that extra you know, 194 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: half a second makes a difference between your wide receiver 195 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: coming open and not. You know, if he can move 196 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: a little bit and throw on the run, it just 197 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: that little bit of a difference can really make or 198 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: break your passing attack. And I think we're we started 199 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: to see that the past two games, not just against 200 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: the Lions, but also against the Texans, And that gives 201 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: me hope that it's not just you're not basing this 202 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: off of just one good game against the Lions. I 203 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: think Joe's play has picked up a little bit. I 204 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: think his play has picked up, and I think and 205 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: that's that's the center of it. Who said it early year, 206 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: Because this offense is gonna go as Joe goes, which 207 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: is what he thinks all year long, the offense is 208 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna stink all year long, and he's playing better. And 209 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: thus the offense has been and I think that the 210 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: offensive line. You know, there was a lot of criticism 211 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: of the group earlier in the season and all this, 212 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: and they had the injuries. Quietly, they've played really a 213 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: couple of really good games. Joe's got sacked once the 214 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: last two games, and this offensive line is opening holes 215 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: in the running game. They're just playing well. I think 216 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: it's six sacks in the last five games and they 217 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: gave up like seventeen the previous seven. Yeah, and so 218 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: the offensive line is playing better. They've had been able 219 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: to stay together as a group. You know, that helps. 220 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: Continuity along the offensive line is critical um And so 221 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: basically Joe feels better in the pocket. He's moving around 222 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: better just regardless because he's healthy. And then you know, 223 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: now you've got some wrinkles in there with Danny wood 224 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: heads back, he hasn't really had his breakout yet. What 225 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: he's going to thank you for setting appreciate this. I 226 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: think Danny Wood heads going off in Pittsburgh. I just 227 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a big game. I'm not saying 228 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: like he's gonna rush for a hundred yards something, but 229 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna make some key plays against the Steelers. Like, 230 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: this is the kind of game I feel like that 231 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: they brought Danny woodhead here to play, move the sticks, 232 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: hustle environment that not too big for tough, gritty that 233 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: is Pittsburgh. That's football and Pittsburgh also gritty. Just yeah, 234 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: he's definitely gonna be having a big game. We talked 235 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: about Danny Wood hit too, and like three weeks ago 236 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: that was all anybody who was talking about. And then 237 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's come back and he's been fine, 238 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: like he hasn't really done much, and all of a sudden, 239 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: now it's like people kind of forget that he's on 240 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: the team and now here's the big games and now 241 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: we unleash Wood. But also back to your offensive line 242 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: point also teamed me up once again. We just talked 243 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: about the whole reason this offense is playing better. I 244 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: don't know you're gonna say, is the key the offensive 245 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: the straw that stirs the drink there? Exactly? All right, 246 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: So let's talk about like this game. You already said 247 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: Danny Wood ha is gonna have a big game. The 248 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game obviously is one of the best games on 249 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: the schedule every single year. UM, I think it's particularly 250 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: exciting in hines Field. I would think that liked better 251 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: than the home game. Well, and it's weird because our 252 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: team loves and Suggs probably sets a tone on this, 253 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: but Joe does too. They love to be those villains. 254 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: They love to go in hines Field and Gillette Stadium, 255 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: um in postseason games, but they love to go on 256 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: hines Field and they love to that happosphere. And I 257 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: think that, like there's something to be said for that, 258 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: because I do think that there's games and there's teams 259 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: that are intimidated when they go the hines Field a 260 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: really any rival stadium. In the beginning of Joe's career, 261 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: when Renegade was playing, I mean I came in two 262 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: thousand nine, in the second year he I can tell 263 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: you our offense did not like it when Renegade came on. 264 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: In those early years. I mean, the place gets rocking. 265 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: Literally the press box you can feel it shaking, and 266 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: we wilted on a few occasions when Renegade came on. 267 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: But when you win, when that stuff starts happening right 268 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: the Tory Smith game winning touchdown t J houshman Zada. 269 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: When you go there and rip Steelers fans hearts out, 270 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: oh man, it becomes it's the best feeling in the world. 271 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: And we've done that enough. Then in the playoffs, when 272 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: you do it a couple of times, now you start 273 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: to really relish that go again. You just you want 274 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: it again. So I feel like now when Renegade comes on, man, 275 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: we just are like, oh man, we're about to rip 276 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: with hearts out and we're about to shut them up. 277 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: It's the best it is. It is and we love 278 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get into the tell a couple of 279 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: stories here, you know, because we love story time and 280 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: we love the Sailors games. You mentioned that game. I'll 281 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: tell you a quick one. Um, you remember this. This 282 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: is on the field post game. Ravens win the game unexpected, 283 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: they're underdogs. You know, maybe they're gonna do that again 284 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: this year. All right, So we're on the field post 285 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: game and NFL Films put out this feature of the game. 286 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: Coach Arbor was miked up that game, and Peter King 287 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: from Sports Illustrade is walking on the field kind of 288 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: mosying his way, you know, off the field after the game, 289 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: and he runs into coach Harbo, and Coach Barba says, hey, Peter, 290 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: did you pick us? Peter goes, no, Actually I didn't 291 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: pick you guys this week. Coacharba. You never do, Peter, 292 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: you never do. And the funny thing about the video 293 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: is when you watch it, I'm just kind of I'm 294 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: just cluelessly looking around in the background, which just makes 295 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: it great. Um. But I mean, that's one of that 296 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: game right there is probably one of the It's one 297 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: of my most memorable games that I've ever seen. That's 298 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: because it was your first trip at the Pittsburgh because 299 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: I froze you out for so many years. That was 300 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: that my first trip. It might have been. It might 301 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: have been so everybody knows about our travel draft that 302 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: we had before the season started. It might have been 303 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: my first trip. I think it was your first trip, 304 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: and I had gone to Pittsburgh. I knew how awesome 305 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: it was from my years before you got here, and 306 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: so I just I picked Pittsburgh High every year just 307 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: to freeze you out. I didn't want you to taste 308 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: it because I knew once he did, then you were 309 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: gonna want to go like I do every year, So 310 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: I froze you out and took pure joy from keeping 311 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: you from enjoying one of the best pleasures of the 312 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: NFL for years to come. But then the playoffs come 313 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: and that means we both go to the games. So 314 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: that kind of that kind of broke that. But I 315 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: got it again this year, and I got it with 316 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: the last pick in the draft. That's how idiotic you are, 317 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: That's how big a moron you are. You picked the 318 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: Bengals game. Are you regretting it right now? Oh? No, No, 319 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: this is a great pick. Is gonna be awesome. Here's 320 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: why I love going on to Pittsburgh. Okay, and this 321 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: is why I every year. I can't say I pick 322 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: it high every year because I got it with him. Yeah, 323 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: last pick. I knew, because you're an idiot that I 324 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: could say as big as a bargain. And I love it. 325 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: Just My favorite part is before the game starts, right, 326 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: because you get on the bus and you ride over there, 327 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: and you ride across the bridge, right, and there's the 328 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: stadium and you see the stadium, and but before you 329 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: see the stadium, you see the fans, the Steelers fans, right, 330 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: and they're walking across the bridge to the game, and 331 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: they're lining up in the parking lots as you go in, 332 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: and all of them, not all of them, A bunch 333 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: of them are flipping the bird. There's a majority of 334 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: the busses. And I always like it when the rookies 335 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: are on there and they're like snapchatting it and laughing, 336 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: and like I'm laughing, and you see like nine year 337 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: old women like just going full double cannon. You know, 338 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: it's just the best. And you and and then you 339 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: you pull into the parking lot, these big metal gates 340 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: shut behind you. Yeah, you're you're locked in. And I 341 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: love just standing on the field before the game and 342 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: kind of walking around. I mean, like I love to 343 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: wear a purple every time. I don't always wear a 344 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: purple when we go on the road. I always purple tie, 345 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: purple shirt, walk around, jacket wide open. It's ten degrees, 346 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: don't care. Get here the fans taunting me, you know, 347 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: taunting sugs. It's just great. It's the best atmosphere. And 348 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: then when the when the towels get going, it really 349 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: is exight to see. So all right, that's from a 350 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: football standpoint. What do we think is. I mean, look, 351 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: three of us are heavy under dogs going into this game. 352 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: That's to be expected. The Steelers have the best record. 353 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: Are they that heavy under seven? Seven points? Yeah? So, um, 354 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, look, the Steelers have the best record in football. 355 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: They've got the best receiver in the game, maybe the 356 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: best running back in the game. Both of them lead 357 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: the league and rushing and seving, so I mean statistically 358 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: they're the best. And they've got a quarterback that's gonna 359 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: be whole famer. So you know, they've got every day 360 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: check every single box. And their defense this year it's 361 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: been definitely Hall of favorite. Oh yeah, Pant's going with 362 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Definitely Hall of favorite. He's won 363 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: two Super Bowls, right three, and he's put up huge 364 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: numbers starter's career. But has he always been one of 365 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: the best. I mean, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have 366 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: have beaten him. Yeah, but they're historical. They are historically 367 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: that I'm giving Ben a shoeing. He's he's going to 368 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer without question. And it may 369 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: not be first ballot, but he's going to be a 370 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. And uh, but look, they check every 371 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: box and I'm really here's what I'm interested to see. 372 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see early how Marlin Humphrey handles because 373 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: Ben's gonna come after him. One thing the Steelers do 374 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: really well, and they did this well and against the 375 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: Ravens a week four. They find whatever your weaknesses and 376 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: they go after it. They go after, they go after, 377 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: they go after. That's what they did because Brandon Williams 378 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: is out of the game and they found success on 379 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: the ground with lett On Bell and so they just 380 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: ran the ball pound of the rock all day long. 381 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: And this game, I expect them to come out there 382 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: and test Marlin. Even Marlin said. Marlin said, oh yeah, 383 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna come out. They're gonna test me early like 384 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: they they brought. Ben is really good at finding that 385 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: weakness or a perceived weakness and give it a shot. 386 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: And I think the first quarter will tell us a lot, 387 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: like how does Marlin handle that situation. I think he's 388 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: gonna do all right. I think he will too. I mean, 389 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do all right. I think the 390 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: Ravens like have done pretty well against Antennu and geez 391 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown over his entire stretch against the Ravens. Generally speaking, 392 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: he hasn't gone off. Now. I think we're all our 393 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: memories are a little clouded by that Christmas Day game 394 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: we marched on the field and the Immaculate Extension all 395 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: that stuff. But generally speaking, I think the Ravens have 396 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: game planned him pretty well and they'll definitely be helping 397 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: Marlin with that. I don't think they're just gonna stick 398 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: Marlin on the island, zero help any of that stuff. Uh. 399 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: And I like Marlin's attitude all week. I think he's 400 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: just cool. You know, he's a cool customer at all times. Um, 401 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: I don't think Pittsburgh is gonna be too big for 402 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: him and the scene is gonna be too big for him. 403 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: I think he's he's kind of excited for Antonio Brown 404 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: and that matchup. He has the physical skills to hang 405 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: with him. Um. Now, Anterio Brown knows he's a crafty dude. 406 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: He knows all the all the tricks, and Marlon doesn't 407 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: know him. He's I mean, he's incredible, and tell you 408 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: Brown really is incredible. He's gonna get his Yeah, I'm 409 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: not saying the Ravens are gonna hold him to thirty yards, 410 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: but I just I think that Marlon and and I'm 411 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: interested because before this Lions game, nobody had really gone 412 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: at Marlon that much. And when they did, Marlin kind 413 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: of got the last laugh. You got the pick. Now, 414 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: that was just a poor throw by Stafford and he 415 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: was on the run and he was flushed out, but 416 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: Marlin got the last laugh. And I kind of feel like, 417 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: if you test Marlin too many times, he's gonna get you. Yeah. 418 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: I like the way you're thinking on that too. And 419 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: then the other piece, obviously is gonna offense. Keep it going. Um, 420 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: how many points do you think the Ravens gotta score 421 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: to win on Sunday? You know, the Steelers can put 422 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: him up. I think you gotta get you gotta get 423 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: in the I don't think he has to get in 424 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: the thirties, you know. I mean they're missing Juju. That 425 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: hurts for sure. Levian is not gonna have as big 426 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: as day as he did last time. Brandon Williams is back. 427 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: Ben just you know, Ben's gone had some huge game 428 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: against us, But generally speaking, he pumps fakes one too 429 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: many times when he faces Ravens like he sees ghosts 430 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: at times a little bit and Uh, I think we're 431 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna get one on him. Yeah, I think he he'll 432 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: chuck up some ill advised passes. I think we're gonna 433 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: get a pick or two. There's gonna be some sacks. Um, 434 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: So I think it's good. I think I think it's 435 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a high scoring affair. No. I think they're 436 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball a lot, though, And that's again 437 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: goes back to how how this secondary holds up. But 438 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not that scared. I'm just feeling really calm. 439 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: You are feeling good, But I'm not that scared if 440 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: they want to throw it forty times, you know. I mean, 441 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: this defense is getting picks like it's its job. It 442 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: is actually it's job, true, like it's um and it's 443 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: doing pretty well on his job. You and I yourself 444 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: for yourself. So you know, I think that if if 445 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: they want to take that approach and be unbalanced, then 446 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: that could play in the Ravens favor because they're gonna 447 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: get that pass rush humming, and they're gonna get some turnovers. So, um, 448 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. I don't I don't think it's 449 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: gonna be a high scoring game. Particularly, I don't think 450 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna put up a ton of points 451 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: there without Ryan Shasier, obviously, he's one of their best 452 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: playmaking guys. Prayers for Shasier obviously, we hope, uh, you know, 453 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: everything turns out as good as it can there. Um, 454 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: but that's going to impact the game, yea. So it's 455 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be my guy, would Head's gonna go off. 456 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: James Hearst is gonna go off in a hug game. 457 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,239 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things in the Rain's Favorite, right, 458 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: and so look, I think this game is gonna be 459 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: obviously a playoff test. We're talking about the team B. 460 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: I think, first of all, I think the Ravens gonna 461 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. They've got an eighty seven percent 462 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: chance right now. But you know, based on some of 463 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: the models, um, they can lose two more games. I 464 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: think it's at nine and seven and still went on 465 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: tak Yeah, I don't have good standing in terms of 466 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: the tiebreakers what I think this game will do. I 467 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: don't think this game really will have too much sway 468 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: and whether or not the Ravens get the plays, well, 469 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: if they if they win this one, and it's like okay, 470 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: go ahead and get ready because you're going. For sure. 471 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: We're sending out the letters like you're going. If that's 472 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: the case. Um, if you lose it, you're still probably going. 473 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: But I think this game will do though, is it's 474 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: it's it'll tell us a lot about this team. I 475 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: think that's what I'm excited to see. It'll tell us 476 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: about like right now, you're feeling great. You're talking about 477 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: how this offense is gonna put up a bunch of points, 478 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: how the defense is great, and all this stuff. We're 479 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: all excited, right I'm pushing all my chips, push them 480 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: on into the middle of the table. But if they 481 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: go out there and don't deliver the kind of performance 482 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: that we're expecting, then maybe that changes the perception. Or 483 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: if they go out there and they upset the Steelers 484 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: and win on national TV, tell you what.
