We are now almost twenty 34 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: percent into the NFL season and it was a big 35 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: time Inner conference matchup. Is this a preview of the 36 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: Super Bowl in Northern California coming in February of twenty 37 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: twenty six or merely just a matchup that will be 38 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: forgotten in the large, wide angle lens of the NFL season. 39 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: So anyway, I bring this up because he had Lamar 40 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: Jackson and the Ravens taking on Dan Campbell and the 41 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: traveling circus that is the Detroit Lions. They came in 42 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: there I don't know if you saw this game or not. 43 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: We watched so you would not have to. And it 44 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: was up set City the Ravens, who had been as 45 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: big as a six point favorite in this game. They 46 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: ended up at four and a half and they were 47 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: back and forth for a while, but then the Lions 48 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: pulled away. Jamir Gibbs and David Montgomery. There goes that man. 49 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: Watch him run run, run, run, run, run, run, both 50 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: of them as Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery each ran 51 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: for two touchdowns a piece, and Detroit doing something you 52 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: don't normally expect the Lions to do. They bullied. They bullied, 53 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: they played bully ball. They bullied the Baltimore football team 54 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight to thirty in a game that really wasn't 55 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: that close when you think about the fact that the 56 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: Lions gave up that last touchdown, even though they had 57 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: a two touchdown lee. It just kind of let up 58 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: a little bit there at the end the final second, 59 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: the Lions are two to one. They sacked Lamar Jackson, 60 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: not once, not twice, not three times, how about not four, 61 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: not five, not six seven sacks out rushed the Baltimore 62 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: football team two hundred and twenty four yards on the 63 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: ground for the Lions and eighty five for the once 64 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: proud Baltimore football team Detroit, scoring on drives of ninety 65 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: eight and ninety six yards. They had drives of ninety 66 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: eight and ninety six yards. Wow. All right, so let 67 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: us discuss the question is this, who do you point 68 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: the finger at? The better store in the losing locker room? 69 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: So who do you point the finger at? For John 70 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: Harbaugh's Ravens. Who's the the one wearing the dunch cap. 71 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: That's the question, who is it? All right? So, well, 72 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: before we get into this, let's hear from the aforementioned 73 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: John Harball. And here's John Harball pointing out that the 74 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: Ravens defensively, well, it's kind of obvious here. They're not 75 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: very good against the run. 76 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 3: The biggest problem is we didn't play good run defense. 77 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't as as a defense completely. We 78 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: didn't do it. And that's not going to be good enough. 79 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 3: There's nobody in that locker room that thinks that's good enough. 80 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: That's disappointing. That's bad run defense. And that's not who 81 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: we are. It cannot be who we are. It's not 82 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: going to be good enough, it's not going to be 83 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: acceptable and it's got to be better. 84 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: All right. So again the question here, the jumping off point, 85 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: is the question who do you point the finger at? 86 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: For John Harbaugh's Ravens. He mentioned the run defense. There, 87 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: I've got Rick Battino, Bart Simpson and DNA and we 88 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we will 89 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: throw them against the wall and we're going to make 90 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: some delicious grilled chicken, is what we're going to make. 91 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: So a. 92 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: This is not who the Ravens have been, but it 93 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: is who they are now. Is that a fair statements? 94 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: That an accurate statement that Hartbaugh's complaining about the run defense, 95 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: which is true. But this is supposed to be John 96 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: Harbaugh's sweet spot. Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night, any 97 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: kind of night, especially at home, and his team comes 98 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: out there like Gangbusters. They do the monster maish, the 99 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: monster mash. In this game, they did the opposite. They 100 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: they're usually the ones that are pounding teams in submission, 101 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: and on this night they were powdered and mashed potatoes, 102 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: is what they were. It is soft and fake cream 103 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: and no bite and that's it. That's all they were 104 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: a reminder though, as the iconic sportscaster Dick Stockton taught 105 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: me years ago here at Fox Sports Radio, Stat's tell 106 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: you what has happened, not what's going to happen. And 107 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: that's the reality of the situation. Here they got they 108 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: being the Ravens, got completely manhandled by the line. I 109 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: thought the Lions were the right side. You watched Benny 110 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: versus the Paint on YouTube. We didn't tell you to 111 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: take the Lions. Did I think they were going to 112 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: play that? Well, No, absolutely not. I did not expect 113 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: that at all. But this is not just losing a 114 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: game for Baltimore. To me, it feels bigger than that. 115 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: Oh you're being too dramatic. I don't think I am. 116 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: It's like in an identity crisis for the Ravens. Like 117 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens have always been that team. In the last 118 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: twenty years or so, with few exceptions, the Ravens have 119 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: been that team that you'd circle on the calendar and 120 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, no, that's gonna be a that's gonna 121 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: be a nasty game. You play the Ravens, They're gonna 122 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: push you around, they're gonna punch you in the mouth. 123 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna poke your eyes. I mean, that's a good 124 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: football team, that's a physical football team, and you're not 125 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: gonna be able to push them around. And so here 126 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: we are in twenty twenty five. We are about twenty 127 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: percent into the NFL season, and the Ravens are lightweights, 128 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: They're pushovers. These are not your daddy's Ravens. They're not 129 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: John Harball, you know what you got to bring in here? 130 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: I got advice here. I'm gonna tell my guys sports 131 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: with Coleman, who's boots on the ground in Baltimore. John 132 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: Harbaugh needs to bring in Rick Patino because Rick Patino 133 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: can give these guys on defense, say pep, talk here 134 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: and say listen, now, rally the team around. They said, listen, boys, 135 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: us is not walking through that door. He's not all right. 136 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: And just tell the fan. Ray Lewis is not walking 137 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: through that door. Terrell Suggs is not walking through that door, 138 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: and and Reid is not walking through that door. And 139 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: if you expect them to walk through that door, they're 140 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: going to be gray and old. Boom, drop the mic. 141 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: That's it. The Ravens have the worst defense in the 142 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: National Football League. Put that in the pipe and smoke. 143 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: It of hard to believe stuff. The Ravens are dead last. 144 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: They are thirty second in the NFL. That's not my opinion, 145 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: it is a fact I've done the mother of matth. 146 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: The Ravens have allowed an average of four hundred and 147 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: fifteen yards per game, and that includes a laugh or 148 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: a blowout win courtesy of Joe Flacco, who gave the 149 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: game to Baltimore in Week two. It's embarrassing with the 150 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: Capitol leave for the Ravens and then on Monday Night 151 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: Football they allowed that running in and Jared Goff also 152 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: made some key third down plays as well. But Dan Campbell, 153 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: those guys, they were able to do whatever the hell 154 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: they wanted. Four hundred and twenty six yards four one 155 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six yards for the team representing Michigan, 156 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. They're fifty percent conversion on third down, 157 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: they were perfect on fourth down and nearly perfect in 158 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: the red zone. Wowsers. And it's like they were playing 159 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: at some stretch of that game. It was like seven 160 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: on seven. It's like a walk through. It was insane. 161 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: And you know, meanwhile, you have Lamar Jackson. Yes, mister 162 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: multi time MVP of Lamar Jackson. And if you look 163 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: at the box score for Lamar, you're like, wow, he 164 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: played pretty well. Look at the numbers there. You can't 165 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: rip Lamar Jackson what to bet? So you gotta dig 166 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: a little deeper. And this is like, if you didn't 167 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: watch the game, you think, wow, Listen, Lamar was fine. 168 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. You're just bringing 169 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: a short drug. He needed to be better. He needed 170 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: to be better. He needed to be better. And if 171 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: you dig deeper, the numbers he put up are misleading. 172 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, all right. So he averaged ten 173 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: point seven yards per pass attempt two hundred and eighty 174 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:18,599 Speaker 1: eight yards. Seventy eight of those yards and a touchdown 175 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: pass came when the game was already decided. I mentioned 176 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: the Lions laid up after they went up by two 177 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: touchdowns late in the game in garbage time. That is 178 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: a stat bondito performance that Dak Prescott will be impressed with. 179 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: So the Lions were up thirty eight twenty four and 180 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: then Lamar on a few pass plays, led them all 181 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: the way down the field the Ravens, and they went 182 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: down and scored a touchdown. But there's only like twenty 183 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: seconds or something left in the clock. The game was 184 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: over at that particular point. And then you've got the 185 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: HeLa monster in the room, the HeLa monster and the 186 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: Komodo dragon in the room, and that is the negative place, 187 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: and that is what loses games. It's a simpleton's way 188 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: to look at a football game. But if you just 189 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks side by side, and roughly ninety 190 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 1: percent of the time, the quarterback that makes fewer mistakes 191 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: his team will win the game. Now, those negative plays. 192 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: A negative play is a sack, a fumble, an incompletion. 193 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: Those are negative plays. And if you look side by 194 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: side in this game, Lamar Jackson had fourteen negative plays 195 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: in this game, seven sacks, seven of them. He had 196 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: a fumble that was recovered in incompletions left and right. 197 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: He had six incompletions in the game. So you do 198 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: the math on that, it works out to be fourteen. 199 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: The sack number is rather shocking. That is tied for 200 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: a career high. Hey, Lamar, you've just been sacked seven times. 201 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: What are you gonna say for yourself, Lamar Jackson, I 202 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: think it were sacked seven times tonight. 203 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 4: That rarely rarely happens. 204 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: With you what what you seen back there? There was 205 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: causing problems. 206 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 5: Oh man, got the don stunts. I had a a spy, 207 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 5: and sometimes the spy was they was grabbing my leg 208 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 5: and that's just. 209 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: What it was. 210 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 5: You know, guys, they were dropping the coverage. You got 211 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 5: three safeties back there, and I'm just not from throw 212 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 5: a hair mary ball. You know, I'm gonna read the 213 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 5: coverage out and try to make. 214 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: Something happens the spy, spy versus spy, that's the issue there. 215 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: So Jared Golf, on the other hand, while Lamar had 216 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: fourteen negative plays, Golf had nine, which is said, well, 217 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: that's not that big a difference, but in a game 218 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: that's close, it is a big difference. Zero sacks. Jared 219 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: Goff had zero sacks. The offense I ran the ball 220 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: a lot, so you didn't have too many opportunities to 221 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: get sacked. And generally speaking, this was a even though 222 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: Lamar had good Fantasy numbers thanks a lot to that 223 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: last drive. There overall not good. Then. The Ravens normally 224 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: the ones that are doing the steamrolling, and in this 225 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: game they were not. They were soft, certainly, defensively uninspired, defensively, 226 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: dazed and confused in this game, and Baltimore now desperately 227 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: trying to get their mojo back because they have a 228 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: losing record, and they go to Arrowhead. How about that 229 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: for a plot twist. You've got the Chiefs sitting at 230 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: one and two, the Ravens at one and two. One 231 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: of those two teams will be at five hundred, the 232 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: other one to be one in three, a quarter of 233 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: the way into the NFL season. Who goofed, I've got 234 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: to know. But right now, we do the show right now, 235 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: and the Baltimore Ravens look like a middle of the 236 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: pack AFC team. They have a bottom of the league defense, 237 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: They have an offense that will be fine against most 238 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: anyone and certainly will beat up on the Tomato Cans 239 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: of the NFL. But man, all right now turning the 240 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: page on that, the other big issue, if you will, 241 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: for Baltimore is do the Ravens have a Derrick Henry problem? 242 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: And that's the question. So I'm gonna nod my head 243 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: yes on this. Derek Henry had a very mediocre stat 244 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: line in this game, but he also had a signature 245 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: fumble yet again for Derrick Henry. So I'm not in 246 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: my ass. You look at the circumstantial evidence on this, 247 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: and it is piling up, and it's the same evidence 248 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: that we have seen for many, many years doing this job, 249 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: where you're since the dawn of time, when you're running 250 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: back of a certain age, and things all of a 251 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: sudden stopped working. Right, It goes pretty quick. But before 252 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: we get into the meat of that, let's hear from 253 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: But we'll hear from Henry in a second. But let's 254 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: hear from the aforementioned John Harbaugh. Here's John Harbaugh talking 255 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: about what was a backbreaking fumble late by Derrick Henry. 256 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: It happened again, here's the coach. 257 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: We got to get it fixed. I mean that was 258 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 3: kind of a blind shot there. I thought he had 259 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 3: the ball in good position, you know. I thought the 260 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: defender got a good look at it though, because it 261 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: was kind of a pretrace cutback play. So a little 262 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 3: bit of perfect storm. But still, I mean, just want 263 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 3: to protect football, you know, all our guys do, and 264 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 3: we gotta we gotta do it. We gotta be good 265 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: at it. 266 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: It's a perfect storm, except it's happened three games in 267 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: a row. Three games in a row, all right, here's 268 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: the man of the hour here, Derrick Henry. You're the 269 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: running back. You were right there among all the top 270 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: players in the NFL last year, a great renaissance in Baltimore. 271 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: And now what do we got here? Well, explain for 272 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: yourself what happened on that fumble? Craser right now? Three 273 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: games straight and having in. 274 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 5: My career r fumbles doing critical moments, it was, yeah. 275 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: I apologize, fought Nation, and I'll just keep working this shirts. 276 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 6: It's a flock nation. It's a cheesy name the Ravens 277 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 6: marketing department came up with. It could do better, flock. 278 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 6: It sounds like sounds like you say that too many times. 279 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 6: You'll say the effort. 280 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. So I want to go back though 281 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: to the argument, my argument here with Derek Henry, and 282 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: now I was skeptical, I was. I was completely wrong. 283 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: Last year I said, what are the Ravens doing here? 284 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: And we bring in Henry. He was showing some signs 285 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: of regression in Tennessee. They brought him in and he 286 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: shoved it down my throat. But here we are a 287 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: year later and three games in and is like, well, 288 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: this is the thing that we have seen from running 289 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: backs since the dawn of time. As I mentioned here, 290 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: once they hit that magic age of thirty, they run 291 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: into a wall. It's not a gentle fade. It's not 292 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: like you're fading out from a scene in a TV 293 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: show or a movie. It's oh, he's he's useful in 294 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: certain spots. It's not that it's a cliff dive. You're 295 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: free diving off the side of the Grand Canyon and 296 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: you're just diving. There's a rope or a parachute or 297 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: anything like that. You're just diving and you don't get 298 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: a warning flare. It's not like they said, well, by 299 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: the way, here's a warning. You're running backs starting to 300 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: get worse and worse and worse and worse that you 301 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: don't get a caution sign. They don't send that out. 302 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: It's bam. You go from King Henry to court Jester 303 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: Henry overnight, just like that, Just like that. Now one 304 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: second you are the wrecking ball and then the next 305 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: your toast, your toast. He's thirty one, which is not old, 306 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: but in sports when you're running back, that's an issue. 307 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: Birthday is coming up in early January, and the numbers 308 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: tell the story. If you look at it, three point 309 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: one yards per carry combined the last two games against 310 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: the Browns and now against the Detroit Lions. That is plotting, 311 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: that is ordinary. And fumble that's the scarlet letter, the 312 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: fumble things the scarlet letter. Three straight games, three straight fumbles, 313 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: lost two of them in key matchups. The Buffalo Bills 314 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: don't come back and win that game without the generosity 315 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: of Derrick Henry. And you can make the same argument 316 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: that the Lions, they don't win that game without the 317 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: help of Derick Henry. That he's doing more to help 318 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: the other team right now than he is to help 319 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: his team. And so, Henry, if it doesn't work out, 320 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: if this continues here, he can at least replace Bart 321 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: Simpson and be the new face of Butterfingers, right because 322 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: at three games in a row, and that's as many 323 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: as he had all of last year. For Derrick Henry, 324 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: you can't be that guy. You're not that guy, Palp, 325 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: You're not that guy, certainly, not now, not ever in 326 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: your career. Like at least he used to be good. 327 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: Ramondre Stevenson fumbles all the time for the Patriots, but 328 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's not that good. And so if 329 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: you're Baltimore, though, what do we always say, Don't let 330 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: a falling star fall on you. Don't do it, You 331 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: just cannot do it. Don't sit there on the ground 332 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: and look up and the falling star falls onto The 333 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: Ravens historically have prided themselves on a lot of things. 334 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: But they're always a smart team, and they're a physical 335 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: team and all that stuff. And Henry is not looking 336 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: right now like much of a centerpiece. 337 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: Now. 338 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: He did for three quarters in that game against Buffalo 339 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: in Week one, but that's three weeks ago now, and 340 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't appear to be just a pothole. It does 341 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: not appear to be just a pothole at this point. 342 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: And now you go against Kansas City at Arrowhead, a 343 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: stout Chiefs defense coming up next week. And if Henry 344 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: does not look like his old self, then and you 345 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: start We'll wait a minute here. Now it's like a 346 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: quarter of the way into the NFL season, and does 347 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: he fumble again here? And running backs generally at age 348 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: thirty one heading into age thirty two, don't just bounce back. 349 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: It's not a bounce back situation. Usually fall apart pretty quickly. 350 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry, who has always been that he's got 351 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: that fear factor where he scares the other team, and 352 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: it does. The only thing he's scaring right now is 353 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: the raven fan base, flocked nations as he called it. 354 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: There all right, last word quickly to the winners locker 355 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: room we go where we were very critical. I got 356 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: an email from John who lives in He says he 357 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: lives outside Detroit, so I'll say the suburbs of Detroit. 358 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: And John said he wrote me immediately after the game, 359 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: which I knew was one of those oh no, no, no, no, 360 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: no no. Anytime you get an email right after a 361 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: game is no, no, no, no, no no, your opinion sucked. You know. 362 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: That was that kind of thing. It was like, I 363 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: remember what you said after that game in Green Bay. 364 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: I remember wash your mouth out? You know that kind 365 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 1: of thing. So question, does this count as a statement 366 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: victory for Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions to sashe their way 367 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: into Baltimore and get the win. So yeah, I'll nod 368 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 1: my head. Yes, Listen, I reacted. The job is to 369 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: read and react. That's the job. You read. It's like 370 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: being playing defense. You read and react in basketball whatever, 371 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: and in certain elements of football you read and react, 372 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: and so I'm not in my yes, yes, Detroit was 373 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: strutting into what is supposed to be a hostile environment 374 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: and they didn't blink. They did not blink in this game. 375 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: After the no show, which is dope from outside Detroit 376 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: who emailed me, all all worked up into a ladder there. 377 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: The Lions deserve to be ripped for the way they 378 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: played against green Bay, especially considering how they played against 379 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: Baltimore like you, and then they destroyed the Chicago Bears 380 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: as well the green Bay game. We were on after 381 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: the green Bay game, they deserved a lashing. We gave 382 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: them a lashing. And there were some lingering questions about 383 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: whether or not they were going to be as good. 384 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 1: They had changed the roster a little bit, the coordinators 385 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: were different. Those were legitimate questions. This is the kind 386 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: of a win for the Lions on the road, on 387 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: the road against a brand name franchise like the Ravens 388 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: that helps answer those doubts. It's not just that they 389 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: won the Lions, it's how they won. Physical, aggressive, Now 390 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: they're always fearless on fourth down and all that stuff 391 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: that'll come back to bite. Dan Campbell in the ass. 392 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: But that's just DNA that's in the Dan Campbell DNA 393 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And what happened was soft dome team. 394 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: I thought all these dome teams is soft. Well, maybe 395 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: the Ravens. I might as well play an adult in the 396 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: way they're playing right now. So there you go. It 397 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: was the Ravens defense that was soft around the edges, 398 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: a very jello like in this particular performance here. And 399 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: so there you go. The Lions on the catwalk there 400 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: they flexed. They did a pirouette right there on the 401 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: catwalk for everyone to see, and they made their little 402 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: statement and they shook their tushy and they walked away. Congratulations. 403 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: There you go. They are legit, and so they proved 404 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: it in this particular game. Unless the Ravens turn out 405 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: to be total frauds, then we visit this. But we 406 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: do the show right now, and so right now that 407 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: is my position on the lines. 408 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 409 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 410 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 411 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 7: Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day 412 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 7: five to seven pm Eastern, But here's the thing.

The Detroit Tigers have done something almost unimaginable 596 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: as they have choked away the division lead. We'll talk 597 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: about that as we go through. But well, I want 598 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: to start with football because that's what pays the bills. 599 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: So we'll save some of that stuff for the b block. 600 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: But we begin this hour on the shores of the 601 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: mighty Hudson River. And we have another quarterback change in 602 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: the NFL, and this one not because of injury, by 603 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: systemic incompetence. And if you have not heard by now, 604 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: maybe not. It was anticipated and it has now happened. 605 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: We have learned the Giants have demoted. They have benched 606 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: mister unlimited Russell Wilson, who is now limited to holding 607 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: a clipboard in favor of the flavor of the week, 608 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: and that would be first round quarterback rookie Jackson Dart. 609 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: They've gone to the dart. They're now throwing darts the 610 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: Giants and that just comes after three games. Now, remember 611 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: all that rhetoric, all that bull crap. Oh oh, he's 612 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: gonna sit out half the year, at least maybe the 613 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: entire year. The Giants are gonna do this the right way. Okay, 614 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: what a bet on that? No, and we'll get into it. 615 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: But Dart's first start will come at home on Sunday 616 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: against Eddie Garcia's Chargers. There super fan Eddie Garcia's Chargers 617 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: and his wife picked super fans there. Also Jim Harbaugh 618 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: he coaches the team, and Justin Herbert there. So that'll 619 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: be the match up the three to zero Chargers at 620 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium in Jersey. The Giants trying to wake up 621 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: the echoes as they will take on the Chargers with 622 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: a new quarterback. So let us discuss the question for 623 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: the esteem panel. Russell Wilson demoted Jackson. Dart is now 624 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: QB one for the Giants. Your thoughts on these developments 625 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: regarding the Giants, So I've got Mason, Jars, Kobe and 626 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: human shields, and we will combine all of these things 627 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: together and we're going to make some fried rice, which 628 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: is highly underrated fried rice, well pretty much anything fried 629 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: is usually not good for you, but taste marvelous. All right, 630 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: So a, this was the word I will use for 631 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: the Giants quarterback change. Telegraphed. Telegraphed is the word I 632 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: will use. Everybody with half a brain saw this one coming. 633 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had been running on fumes. What about the 634 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys? Okay, that says more about the Cowboys. 635 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: They suck. Okay, Russell Wilson, if you watched them. But 636 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: this is a year's long thing. Like how he ended 637 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: up getting that gig with the Giants is beyond me. 638 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: He's been telling everyone I suck, and yet they said, no, 639 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: you don't. We you don't suck enough. You have to 640 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: play for us because we want to make sure you suck. 641 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: And so there you go. So Russell Wilson, who's been 642 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 1: running on low fuel, he's been slogging away for years 643 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: with multiple teams, no rhythm, no tempo to his game 644 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: at all. And Russell Wilson, who has less juice than 645 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: a Dollar store high Sea pack You know, there's not 646 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: allowed juice in those little packets they have at the 647 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: dollar store. He's a football zombie at this particular point, 648 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: but he's been a zombie. It's not a surprise. The 649 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: real surprise is who they're throwing Jackson dart against. Not 650 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: exactly a soft open. I've had friends of mine that 651 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 1: have been involved in restaurants and they always say, well, 652 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: you gotta have the soft launch, friends and family, friends 653 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: and family. You have a date you're going to launch 654 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: the restaurants. We have a night or two where it's 655 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: his friends and family. So everything gets lined up there 656 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: and that's it at all. The restaurant staff knows what 657 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: they're doing. Everything's lined up and not not exactly that. 658 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: The Chargers off to a legit start. They have a 659 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: top ten defense in the NFL. So that's not a 660 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: cupcake with extra frosting. It is a trial by fire. 661 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: It is our right, Jackson Dart. Our franchise is stunk 662 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: for ten years, So we'll throw you in the wood 663 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: chipper right away. No easing in to the deep end 664 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: you go. No easing in right now. You're not going 665 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: in the kiddie pool. You're going in the deep end 666 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: right now. There you go, so good luck on that. 667 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: No chance to iron out the case. No, you did 668 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: play a little bit sporadically here the first couple or 669 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. So keep in mind, if they 670 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: had waited, if they being the team from New Jersey 671 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: that calls themselves with the Giants, if they had waited 672 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: a week, Jackson Dart would have broken in in a 673 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: very soft launch against the gumbo guys. The New Orleans Saints. 674 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: Saints go marching into embarrassment on a weekly basis. There, 675 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: that's the feel good component. That's the hey, we're gonna 676 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: go out there, you'll throw three touchdowns and throw for 677 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: three hundred yards and feel good about yourself. Instead, they 678 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: are saying, right, go out there against Derwin James and 679 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: the Chargers, knock yourself out. Welcome to the NFL. Kid, 680 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: Here you go knock yourself well again. I'm fine with it. 681 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: I've always said you go with it. There's this false 682 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: belief if you sit on the bench, you're going to 683 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: be great. There's plenty of examples of people that sat 684 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: on the bench. It also sucked. Either you've got it 685 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: or you don't have it. We'll find out whether Jackson 686 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: Dart has it or not. I don't know. I didn't 687 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: think he was all that great in college. I thought 688 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: he was fine. I didn't think he would be anything 689 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: Spettackler in the NFL. But there's other guys who were 690 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL that I didn't think would be all 691 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: that great that have turned out to be pretty good. 692 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: So it's a hit and miss situation. It's an imperfect 693 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: science and all that stuff, but it does show you 694 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: the giants dysfunction. That's my other thought on this, the 695 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: dysfunction for the Giants because you've got Brian Dayball and 696 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: Joe Shane the coach, and the GM there who are 697 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: essentially drinking moonshine from Mason Jars at Dick's last resort, 698 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: because this is it. This is your last resort if 699 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: you're the coach and the GM there hoping that nobody 700 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: notices that you're getting sucker punched, and you're likely to 701 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: get sucker punched again here. And the reality is, if 702 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart is not prepared to hit the ground running here, 703 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: and if he goes out there and sucks at a time, 704 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: you cannot suck does a cannonball and a belly whopper 705 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: against the Chargers, and they have to take him out 706 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: of the game for some reason because he's so bad 707 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: and they have to go to Russell Wilson again or 708 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:15,479 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. Well, let's just say the not so dynamic duo, 709 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: the brains of the Giants operation. They should start updating 710 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: their LinkedIn page right now because they've got some issues there. 711 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: And John Maher, the owner of the Giants, they for 712 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: some reason keep this group together. They should have gotten 713 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: rid of him at the end of last year. They 714 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: kept him around, John Merra. But if you look at it, 715 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: it has been a revolving door. They are the Cleveland 716 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: Browns of New York, that is, the New York Giants. One. 717 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: The Jets are worse than the Cleveland Browns, but the 718 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 1: Giants are like the Cleveland Browns. So they keep changing 719 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: coaches and all that stuff. Four coaches since they canned 720 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: Tom Coughland back in the day, ten years. Four coaches. 721 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: So the patience isn't endless for the Giants, but the 722 00:39:54,640 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 1: clock is a ticking. Certainly, no more honeymoon that's long gone. 723 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: That Fluke playoff situation where they weren't that good and 724 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: they made the playoffs and then took advantage of the 725 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: incompetence of Kirk Cousins to beat the Vikings in a 726 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: playoff game. But you look at it now and there's 727 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: really no long term plans. It's just kind of a 728 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: reactionary move and you bench the veteran. And again, they 729 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: should have never signed Russell Wilson. That's the thing. You 730 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 1: didn't need Benjamin. You shouldn't have signed him. If the 731 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: overnight sports radio guy knows the quarterback is washed up, 732 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: why do you not know that? You're getting paid a 733 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: lot more money than I am. You should know that, 734 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: you dummies. It's ridiculous anyway, So they're gonna throw him 735 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: out there and get all dramatic and they're throwing him 736 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart to the wolves there. I don't want to 737 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: do that, but you'll buy at least a couple of weeks. 738 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: In theory, this buys you at least a couple of weeks, 739 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: and maybe you'll get some good headlines. The tabloids seem 740 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: to like this In New York. Reading some of the 741 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: tabloids there, it's desperate and typically it ends with everyone 742 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: getting fired because you started out owing three rather than 743 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: just start. You would have started owing three anyway, if 744 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: you started Jackson Dart at least then you can say, 745 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: well he played well against the Cowboys and do all 746 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: that bull crap instead. Now you're owing three, and then 747 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,399 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's gonna take some time to get going here, 748 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: so then you're looking at maybe one in six or 749 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: something along those lines. Good luck, good luck on that. 750 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: This says dead man walking for Brian day Ball written 751 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: all over it. Now we move on, as for mister ulimited, 752 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: mister unlimited, what was the monstrosity performance against Kensau City. 753 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: The last time we will see Russell Wilson as a 754 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 1: regular starting quarterback in the NFL was that it didn't 755 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: know it at the time, But is that it so 756 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: in terms of Russell Wilson being given the keys to 757 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: the kingdom and a team being as dumb, the dumb, 758 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,879 Speaker 1: dumb dumb as the Giants and giving him the keys, 759 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: I would say yes, that that's not going to happen. 760 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 7: Now. 761 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: It's impossible that Russell will start some games even this year, 762 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: because Jackson Dart's either gonna get hurt or is going 763 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: to suck. That is obviously a possibility, but in terms 764 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: of his career arc, he is Dunskies cooked. He has 765 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: been microwaved, reheated, and tossed in the garbage disposal at 766 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: this particular point. Wilson is a football hobo, is what 767 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: he is. And he's hitch hiking down the dusty winnemuck 768 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: a road. Shout out Johnny Cash. He's got that knapsack, 769 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: he's got that going for him. He's got thumb in 770 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: the air and he's hoping that some desperate general manager 771 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: will pick him up at the trade deadline or again 772 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 1: in the offseason. But he was again washed in Denver. 773 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: You could argue at the end of the run in 774 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: Seattle he didn't look all that good. But the reason 775 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: he left Seattle, as I understand it, was he tried 776 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 1: to usurp Pete Carroll. There was a power play and 777 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,240 Speaker 1: Russ did not win that battle, which is crazy because 778 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 1: a couple of years later, Pete Carroll wasn't let go anyway. 779 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: So they're like, well, we're not gonna get rid of 780 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. We're gonna pick the coach over the quarterback. 781 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,320 Speaker 1: And then they got rid of the coach anyway, So 782 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,720 Speaker 1: that's that's something different. But he was Washington, Denver, tumble 783 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 1: dried in Pittsburgh and now left to rust out with 784 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: the Giants. Like that car, you know, that kind of 785 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: disheveled house that everyone drives by and says, why is 786 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,800 Speaker 1: that car rusted out in front of the house. That's like, 787 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: that's terrible, it's embarrassing anyway, So there is no let's 788 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: ride like Russ les to say, it's let's hide. It 789 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: went from let's ride to let's hide. That's the new 790 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: message from Russell Wilson. And he's gone. In Seattle, he 791 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: was considered Kobe Beef Kobe, and now he is leftover 792 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 1: meat loaf in tupperware in the back of the refrigerator 793 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 1: that has not been eaten and is starting to turn colors. 794 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: That's what's going on. So Russ's only hope now is 795 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: to take advantage of the supply chain shortage of quarterbacks 796 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: in the league. But again, I just can't imagine a 797 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: scenario where he's given the job. Now, can he get 798 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: the job because of injury? Sure, there's something like that 799 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: could happen, But going into a year like this year 800 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,240 Speaker 1: where the Giants said you're a guy. No, that's not happening. 801 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: You can sell himself as a not so savvy backup 802 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 1: quarterback
