1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by Draft Kings. It's a 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: size him Up Monday, Gary, big time when big and 3 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: I mean big win over the Chargers thirty four to six. 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: The Ravens are five and one for the second straight 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: year and beat the previously well I guess the Chargers 6 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: are they still in first place? Anyway? There are four 7 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: and one now there are four and two. I can 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: tell you that much. And the Ravens didn't dominating fashion. 9 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if there was ever a size m Up Monday, 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: this is this is this is it? Yeah, I mean 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: a win like that, no doubt. This was total domination. 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this was clearly the best, the most complete 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: game that the Ravens have played all season. They controlled 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: the game from start to finish. It was strange to 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: have a fourth quarter that was that was in the 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: books and you could kind of relax and enjoy it 17 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: and hang out. Um, they just they just We're better 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, all three phases of 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: the game, throughout the entire game. And this was, like, 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: I think, kind of a shot that the clear indication 21 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: that the Ravens are one of the best teams in 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: the league, like the because This was the class of 23 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: the old measuring stick game, the old measuring stick to 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: get out of the tape measure. This is a game 25 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: between two of the top teams in the league. You know, 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: have the Ravens really beating anybody? Even though they beat 27 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but um, yeah, just the Chiefs, you know, 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: just the Chiefs. That's it depending NFC champions. But so 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: have they have They really beat a great team and 30 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: the Chargers, by all accounts, are another really good team 31 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: and the Ravens handled them big wing, yeah, big, big, 32 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: big win. I think you know, one takeaway that I 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: came away from is, you know, as journalists, we always 34 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: look for the trends, right like that, we look at 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: the big picture, like what does this say about the Ravens? 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: What's you know, what does this win mean in the 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: long term? What you know, because you're all everybody's trying 38 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: to get their power power rankings and everything like that, 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: right and like to me, and and it's players and coaches, 40 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: especially coaches always talk about this and we always roll 41 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: our eyes that it's a cliche and it's like, but they're, 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: like John Harball said it pretty clearly yesterday, this doesn't 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: say anything long term about who we are like and 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: and I hate to agree, you know what I mean, 45 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Like you're going into coach speak mode. I thought this 46 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: up Monday, and now you're over here, say one game 47 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: at a time and play at a time. I know, 48 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: I know, I know we like to do the size 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: them up mondays. Um, but like it's it's it really 50 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: is true. Like you you win one game and the 51 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: Ravens could come out and struggle the next game, you know. 52 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: I mean, of course there's some takeaways that you can have, right, 53 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: but like putting too much stock into one game, I 54 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: think is is a fool's Errand you know, like it's 55 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: just it's such a week to week league. I mean, 56 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: who thought the defense was gonna hold the Charges to 57 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: six points and Justin Herbert just totally handcuff them after 58 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: after what we had seen from this secondary previously, you know, 59 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: to hold it Justin Herbert under two hundred yards Nobody 60 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: thought that, you know, I mean Keenan Allen fifty yards 61 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: receiving Mike Williams two for I mean, it's just it's 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: such a week to week league. Game plans are are 63 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: teams specific? Now? Um, I mean sure, I I agree 64 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: I think this certainly says I think it says something 65 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: about the Ravens defense that it wasn't like as bad 66 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: as people were making it out to be. You know. 67 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: I mean the Ravens were like ranked, you know, near 68 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: the bottom of the league entering the game, and they're 69 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: certainly not that. Right, they can they can rise up. 70 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: I think what it says is like, on any given Sunday, 71 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: the Ravens can run the ball on you. Right, they 72 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: can still run the ball despite the running back injuries. 73 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: Like if you're not a good run defense and you 74 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: give it to them, if you're gonna play the past 75 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: and try to take away the deep stuff to Hollywood Brown, 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: then they'll run the ball on you. And he given 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: Sunday they can do that, right, any given Sunday, this 78 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: defense can rise up and get after you and just 79 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: shut you down. But it's like it's not that something 80 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: that we should expect every single week, you know what 81 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, Well, I'm gonna go. You can go 82 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: into coach mode. You go into coach mode, and you 83 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: can give me the any given Sunday, you can give 84 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: me the week to week league and all the different cliches, 85 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: and that's all fine, and that's all true. But I 86 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: think that this game was an indication that not only 87 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: are the Ravens one of the best teams in the league, 88 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: but they can beat you a variety of ways like that. 89 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: To me, was most clear about this this game, and 90 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: this is something we talked about coming into the game. 91 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: I asked Greg Roman about it. Okay, so now you've 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: proven past two weeks stop the run, they hand over 93 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: the keys to Lamar in the passing game and they 94 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: and they still have success. That's what they did against Denver, 95 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: That's what they did against the Colts. Okay, So now 96 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: you can go into a game and do you beat 97 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: teams to the air? Do you beat teams on the ground? 98 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: Chargers have the worst run defense coming into this game. 99 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: So the Ravens, they ground and pound. On that first drive, 100 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: I mean, that first drive was the thing of beauty. 101 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: Props to Greg Roman, by the way, on that on 102 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: that opening script, so much for the slow starts, so 103 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: much for the slow starts. March down the field and 104 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: put it in for a touchdown. Predominantly led by the 105 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: ground game, and the ground game was having success all night. 106 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: No one had huge numbers, but Situationally, it was just 107 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: really good. And that to me is like that is 108 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: what a takeaway is for me. So if teams are 109 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: going to try to stop the pass, you know, we're 110 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: not gonna let them are in this passing game beat us. Okay, well, 111 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: then go back to the bread and butter, go back 112 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: to you know, go dance with the one who you 113 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: brought or whatever that phrases, um and and and have 114 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: success on the ground. I've never heard that phrase. Yeah, yeah, 115 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: was that you at homecoming? You were dancing with someone 116 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: else about your date, dancing the date you brought or 117 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: something like that. It's there. It's a phrase like that. 118 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes you're dancing, you see somebody else dance there there 119 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: You're like, oh all right, No, I would never. I 120 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: would never. I always treat of my homecoming and prom 121 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: dates with the utmost respect. Come on, I would never. Good. Um, 122 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: is this deep ends for real? I think that's the question, right, 123 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: Like where kind of what I was saying, like, is 124 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: this defense, you know, after this performance against the Chargers, 125 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: is this are we back to saying this is the 126 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: top five defense? You know? I think it's certainly not 127 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: the bottom five defense. Um, you know what did you 128 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: see from the defense that you say, Okay, that's something 129 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: that I think they can carry forward. You know, that's 130 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: gonna be a lasting change. You know. The two big 131 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: changes obviously were Josh Bonds stepping in as a starter 132 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: at middle linebacker, kind of settling down the defense next 133 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: to Patrick Queen. And then the other was the resturant 134 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: return of the Sean Elliott. Yeah. Well, I thought it 135 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: was a great indication and a reminder that the Ravens 136 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: live by week Martindale and that staff can game plan 137 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: really well. So Justin Herbert said after the game that 138 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens threw some stuff at them that they never 139 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: seen before, didn't see it on tape, and it was 140 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: different than what they'd seen over the course of this season. 141 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: So he did it against the Chiefs too, you know, 142 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: with with adop a kind of hitting the guy at 143 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and bringing the laid blitz. Yeah. 144 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: So there's been a couple of games now where the 145 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: Ravens kind of unveil some secret stuff, you know, in 146 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: these games, and I think that that's a testament to 147 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: the creativity and the quality of the defensive coaching staff. 148 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: So that's one thing two. I know that there's been 149 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: a lot. I thought Patrick Queen, we talked about Josh Bines, 150 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: and I thought Josh Bynes played really well, and man, 151 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: the guy, it just steps in. It's like he's gonna 152 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: play until he's a hundred years old. He just is 153 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: so solid. Who plays longer him or Tom Brady seriously, 154 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: so it's a competition at this point. Uh and Binds 155 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: is just so solid and does everything right, knows exactly 156 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: where to be on every play. So I thought it 157 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: was it was good for him to step in. And 158 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: then on Patrick Queen, I know the guy took a 159 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: lot of heat over the course of the week and 160 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: he hasn't hadn't been playing all that well. But I 161 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: thought he had a good game. I thought he played well. 162 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: He had the thigh bruise or whatever, um and came 163 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: back from that. I just thought it was it was 164 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: a bounce back game for him. And then the other 165 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: one too, who got targeted a few times. The Colts 166 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: didn't have a great day with Anthony Daverite, and he 167 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: bounced back and had a good day against the Charging Show. 168 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: I just like, I don't really see a clear weakness 169 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: on the defense. People pointed to the inside linebackers previously, 170 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: but I think that that those guys elevated this week. 171 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: Um and then and then the other one is to 172 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: Sean obviously. I mean, talk about a difference maker in 173 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: your return. Wow, yeah, very impressive. I mean that interception 174 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: was one of that was a Marcus Peters esque interceptions. 175 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: I think he caught the strawberry before it hit the 176 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: battleship from from Justin Herbert and that was a tough pick. 177 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: And for Deshan, you know, we've we've been a big 178 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: DeSean Elliott. You know, fans over here had him on 179 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: the pod he where he's a friend of the labs. 180 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: Let's just say that. And I was rooting for this 181 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: guy to get one because he was so prolific in 182 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: college and nine interceptions in College of Texas six his 183 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: junior year, All American year before he entered the draft. 184 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: So like we've all been kind of waiting for him 185 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: to make the plays. And I've always I've always pointed 186 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: those college stats and said, this guy can be a playmaker, 187 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: Like we've seen him make plays in practice, like he 188 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: can do it. So for him to to catch that, 189 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: when I thought was it was obviously a big deal 190 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: for him. If you haven't seen it yet, listeners, go 191 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: back and watch his press conference when I asked him 192 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: how that one felt, it was pretty funny moment, pulling 193 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: down the mask and giving a big old grin. Um. 194 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: So really happy for Sean, And I thought John Harball 195 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: made a good point after the game about how you know, 196 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: he just brings a certain level of energy to that 197 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: kind of has a ripple effect on this defense and 198 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: elevates everybody else. And you know, Brandon Stevens, the rookie 199 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: third round pick, had a really good game, and you 200 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: know that's the role that you want Brandon Stevens in, right, 201 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean, at this point in his career, I don't 202 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: know that I really want Brandon Stevens to be a 203 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: starter necessarily and playing almost the entire game like mix 204 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: him in. That's the perfect role for Brandon, and I 205 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: think he played that really well. So a lot to 206 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: be encouraged by wing Martindale, like you said, deserves a 207 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: lot of credit for really kind of you know, he 208 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: kind of made Justin Herbert look like a rookie when 209 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: I was when I when I was walking out of 210 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: the stadium, it was so funny. Like I was hearing 211 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: like some commentary on the TV and it was like, 212 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: you know, well, this is this is only the twenty 213 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: game of Justin Herbert's career. You know, let's not have 214 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: too high expectations for this guy, and like for that 215 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: to be the talking point after before it was like 216 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: m VP candidate. You know, this guy is the Bee's knees. 217 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: You know, he's like the best gun slinger in the NFL. 218 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: You know, now it's like wow, you know he's still 219 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: a rookie basically. You know that that says something about 220 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: what the Ravens defense did the Justin Herbert. You know 221 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: he'd missed some throws fourth down. You know, hey bred 222 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: Bred and Stanley going for it twice twice on fourth down. 223 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: That was Those are some interesting calls. And for them 224 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: to throw at Marlon Humphrey. The Chargers they don't back 225 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: down from any matchup. They're like, want anybody one on one. 226 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 1: We think our wide receivers can win, even if it's 227 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: Josh Palmer out there on Marlin Humphrey. And the charges 228 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: were wrong. Um, and Justin Herbert some throws, well, I 229 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: think yeah, so like getting those stops in fourth down 230 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: was key. I mean, you don't see teams often going 231 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: for on fourth down from the realm what seven or 232 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: whatever it was their um deep in their own territory 233 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: twice And that's part of the reason that the when 234 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: you look at the statuet, you pulled up and you're like, 235 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: all right, let's see who had a huge day. You know, 236 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: let's let's look at these big numbers here, and you're like, Lamar, Okay, 237 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: two picks, not a great day. You're like, all right, 238 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: well the running backs, the running backs and then none 239 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: ane o. The running backs, all three of them found 240 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: the end zone. That was great, but none of them 241 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: had over a hundred yards no one. Well, yeah, Freeman 242 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: had nine for fifty three. Let's us nine four, Lean 243 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: eight for eighteen, and Lamar eight for fifty one. So 244 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: fifty three yards is the high rusher, right, Like, okay, well, 245 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: let's take a look at the the Let's take a 246 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: look at the receivers. Okay, Mark Andrews had a big 247 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: day when six for five for sixty eight in the 248 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: touch right, Okay, so that's a good day, but not 249 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: huge numbers. But my point here is you go through 250 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: the stat sheet and you're like nobody on offense put 251 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: up monster stats. I know this because I lost in 252 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: fantasy this week. When you have Lamar Hollywood and Mark 253 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: Andrews in fantasy and none of them, I lost for 254 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: a reason. Yeah, like it. It is just kind of 255 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: but but the reason for that is the defense put 256 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: the offense in great situations, like situationally, when you're getting 257 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: the ball turned over at the thirty yard line and 258 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: then you can just punch it in from there or 259 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: kick a Fiel goal in that situation. Well, let's not 260 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: pretend that the offense didn't have some long drives. No 261 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: he did, I know, I know, but they just they 262 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: share the wealth. Man Dubernet was really good. I mean, 263 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: had a couple of catches, nice catches. They were using 264 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: a lot on those jet sweeps to kind of keep 265 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: the Chargers defense off balance, which I loved. I mean, 266 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: every time the guy, that guy touches the ball, and 267 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: he said it last year when he was a rookie, 268 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: every time Devan Dubernet touches the ball, I like what happens. 269 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: You know. That's why we were all saying, let's give 270 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: him more touches, you know, and the Ravens are doing 271 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: that he's a big part of this offense right now 272 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: and he's playing well. So yeah, to your point, nobody 273 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: really had like a monster game, but it was just 274 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: this collective effort of just drubbing the Chargers defense. Um 275 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: and then obviously, you know, the Ravens defensive game really 276 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: set the stage for everything. I mean, I didn't realize 277 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: until after the game the Chargers longest drive offensively was 278 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: thirty eight yards. I mean, they're They're only points came 279 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: off the touchdown off the interception when they started deep 280 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: in Ravens territory. They only went twenty seven yards for 281 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: their touchdown. It could have it could have been a shutout, 282 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: which is which is wild to think about. Um. So, 283 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it was just kind of like an 284 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: effective day for the Ravens offense and a dominant day 285 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: for the Ravens defense. Absolutely, all right, so we did 286 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: get I think a little bit. I'm curious, do you 287 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: think maybe a little bit more clarity on the running 288 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: back You know, we have this conversation every Monday, what 289 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: do you think of the running back group? Is their clarity? Now, 290 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: everyone gets in the end zone, so you know, they 291 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: spread the wealth there, but it seems like Freeman has 292 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: come on really strong, Like he he seems like he 293 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: might be a little bit of an edge, a little 294 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: bit on edge of the race. I told you. Freeman 295 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: to me started to separate in the second half of 296 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: that Colts game, you know, during the comeback, like Lamar 297 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: Jackson hit him with a couple of passes, and I 298 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: want to say, he had a couple of runs that 299 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: made that were pretty big plays. Um, so he offers 300 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: something as a receiver out of the backfield, which I 301 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: really liked. And then to see him toting the rock, 302 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: I mean he he hits the edge pretty well. Made 303 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: a couple of guys miss some really good running by DeVonta. Freeman. 304 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: Nine carries for fifty three yards. Like I said in 305 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: the touchdown, the nine yard touchdown, I mean, he's got 306 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: a little juice left. He's got some juice left. And 307 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: and I do think, you know, now we're looking at 308 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Latavia's Murray left the game with an ankle injury. To me, 309 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: I I think Freeman becomes my my league guy. Interesting, 310 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: so you think he basically takes over Freeman or I'm sorry, 311 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: Murray has been the top guy for the past, you know, 312 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: several weeks um and that he takes over as as 313 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: the number one, and then I think the other interesting 314 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: question is is what the Ravens ultimately decided to do 315 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: with Levi on Bell. He's been activated now twice from 316 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: the practice squad. Let's say that Murray's ankle injury is 317 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: something that would keep him out. We don't know yet. 318 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: It was too early after the game. Let's say it 319 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: would keep him out for any period of time. That 320 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: would be a natural way to pull up let me 321 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: on Bell because it was kind of there at decision time. 322 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: You know, if they're gonna they can't keep doing the 323 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: practice squad elevation. They used other two practice squad elevations 324 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: on Levian Bell, So if they want to leave had Yeah, 325 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't know where we are exactly now in the 326 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: fifty three man roster, like the Ravens have been flying 327 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: with less than fifty three players on the active roster. Yeah, yeah, 328 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: they actually noticed. You notice when they activated Tyree, they 329 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: didn't have to cut anybody. So I'm not sure where 330 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: they're at if they have another spot to just pull 331 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: up Levian. You know, Latavius with the ankle is at 332 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: a three week thing. Could they just put Latavius on 333 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: I R for a little bit. Now you're running with 334 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: you bring Levian up. You have Levan, Freeman, and Tyson 335 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: as your three running backs. I think those are all 336 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: in play. Yeah, so but I do I mean, Freeman 337 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: I think has looked ha looked pretty good. Um, and 338 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: he's making the most of his opportunities. So I don't think, 339 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: just to be clear, I don't think we're going to 340 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: see a situation where it's, you know, he gets seventy 341 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: of the carries. I think it's still gonna be very 342 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: much a back committee approach, but he might be taking 343 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of the biggest share of the pie 344 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: in that committee. Um. I mean I think I think 345 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens also, you know, there's gonna be games like 346 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: this where they need the running game to take over. 347 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: But Lamar is still going to be the leading rusher 348 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: by far. And I think that, you know, the Ravens 349 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: are are certainly going to continue with the trend of 350 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: throwing the ball more than they have in past years. 351 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: Like it's not like they are going to have to 352 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: lean on the running game consistently. I think this was 353 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: obviously a game where the Chargers had the worst run 354 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: defense in the league, you know, and so the Ravens 355 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: took advantage. And if you're gonna come in and you're 356 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: not gonna be strapped up, if you're not ready you know, 357 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: personnel wise or game plan wise to defend the run, 358 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: all right, well we'll take it, you know. But I 359 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: still think that this offense generally speaking, is going to 360 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: run through Lamar Jackson in the passing game. Well, the 361 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: Ragame's got a big piece of the passing game back 362 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: with the return overside Bateman, and he played forty five snaps, 363 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: which I'll be honest, was more than I expected in 364 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: his debut. I mean, Greg Roman said during the week, 365 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, we'll kind of ease him in essentially, We're 366 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: not just gonna throw him in the deep end. And 367 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: I think he may have been trying to throw us 368 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: off the scent a little bit. I mean, forty five snaps. Uh, 369 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: that's a lot for a guy coming off that injury. 370 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: And really, I mean it's all like he was a 371 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: massive part of the game plan. But all four of 372 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: his receptions did go for first downs. So I liked 373 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: what I saw from him, Like I was encouraged. I'm like, okay, 374 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: Bateman like he caught, he fought for extra jars. He 375 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: was situationally really good. He basically just stepped into the 376 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: Sammy walk control that Sammy had been playing exactly. I 377 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: mean it was like just all right, Sammy, you're out. Bateman, 378 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: come on in, and you got you know, very similar production. 379 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: The third down catches. You know, he had the interception 380 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: of the droplet to the interception late, which obviously wasn't good. 381 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: But I was encouraged by him, and I think that 382 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: the fact that he played so much, uh, that is 383 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: a good sign. I think, you know, just in terms 384 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: of physically like health, Yeah, he's healthy. Like we were 385 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: talking Tory Smith on the pregame show Graves pre Game Live, 386 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: dishould watch it every every home game, um, and he 387 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: was saying he had that same surgery, um, you know 388 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: after his rookie season, and it took him a long 389 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: time to kind of feel right even as you know, 390 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of dealing with that a second year. Um, 391 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: and he just was so that's me was kind of 392 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: an eye opener, like, oh man, this is this is 393 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: something that's gonna be challenging physically to come back from him. 394 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: And they might kind of ease him in and not 395 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: give him a ton on his plate. And I thought 396 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: that they that he had a heavy workload and he 397 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: played well, yeah he had. He had a plenty others play. 398 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: He had first serving, second servings, he had all the sides. 399 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: He was looking like the Thanksgiving line, looking like me 400 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: coming through every day at the cafeteria. He got the 401 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: peanut butter, he got to go salad. As a side note, 402 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: we gotta take a little detour here. We haven't talked 403 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: about the fact that the peanut butter is back in 404 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: the cafeteria. I tweeted about it, you know, for lounge listeners. 405 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: I go, I've been squirreling away the peanut butter. It's 406 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: it's a peanut butter a day, the peanut butter. If 407 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: listeners aren't familiar, it went away last year. And this 408 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: isn't just any old ruter the milk peanut butter. We're 409 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: not talking about just a jar peanut butter that you 410 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: stick a spoon into. Now, this is a fresh peanut 411 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: butter machine. It's got the actual peanuts at the top, 412 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: the honey roasted, nice little combination up there. You push 413 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 1: the button grinds them for you. And you get fresh fresh, 414 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: can't get any fresh er fresh peanut butter. And it's 415 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: my mother, my mother in law, a woman who's not 416 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: easily impressed by anything. Clearly she's got me as a 417 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: son in law, not impressed, not impressed. Now I'm just drinking. 418 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: She was like, I was like, you gotta try this 419 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: peanut butter on she she was like, whatever, it's peanut butter. 420 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: She tried it, hooked, completely hooked. Now I gotta scroll 421 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: one away from me. And for her it was anyway, 422 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: it was.

All right, we've 434 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: done talking about Yeah, no, look I did the last thing. 435 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: I'll say just in terms of playtime, Hollywood Brown had 436 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: fifty one snapps Bateman had, So like, that's a big deal. 437 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: That is a big deal. I don't I don't think 438 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: we should gloss over that. No, I agree. Here's the 439 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: thing with Bateman, it was it was one of two 440 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: things when you threw to Bateman, it was the first 441 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: sound or an interception. Yeah. Now because the Lamar's first 442 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: interception was also a targeting Bateman. Now that was of 443 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: no fault of I gotta put in. I'm not gonna 444 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: knock him for that one. No, it's just kind of fun. 445 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: I'm just making a joke. But that's what it was. 446 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: All I do is catch first downs and have interceptions. Yeah, 447 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, and the second one was kind of Yeah, 448 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: the second one was kind of flukey. I mean, the 449 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: interception part of it was kind of flukey, but the 450 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: drop was bad. He's got to make that catch, obviously, 451 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: and I expect him to. Um, you know, I think 452 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: it's good. You know, he makes some good plays. But 453 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: you can't get too high. You can't get too high. 454 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: On your horse as a rookie, get a little teaching 455 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: point at the end there, and I think that that's 456 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: just fine. Um, So you know it was interesting. James 457 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: Parchet though, did not get many snaps on offense. Um, 458 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, kind of after after some good games for Parchet, 459 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: it was interesting to see him not get any. But 460 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: we talked about, you know, we want to see Bateman 461 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 1: get all this action. We want to see Devin Duvernet 462 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands. And it wasn't obviously 463 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: a high passing volume game for the Ravens, so um, 464 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, Duvernet was kind of the guy who didn't 465 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: get as much. But Parche, I mean, so Proche had 466 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: five snaps, you know, he had five snaps on offense exactly. 467 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: Josh Josh Oliver Uh had the fumble that he was 468 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: very fortunate to get back on top of. Um that 469 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: was that was not something and he had a penalty 470 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: earlier in the game. Obviously not what you want to see. 471 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: Nick Boyle is around the corner. John Harball said things 472 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: are he's getting closer to a return, getting close, I 473 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: believe was the quote. Um, you know, whether that can 474 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: happen for the Bengals, or whether that's a post by 475 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: return because the Ravens have the Bengals, then a buy. 476 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: But either way, I think Nick Boyle's return will be 477 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: a big development for this offense. You know, you just 478 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 1: kind of naturally rolled into it. I had this email 479 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: all pulled up from Steve Wall about Oil. You just 480 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: kind of answered the question. But here it is at 481 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: the Lagic Ravens dot NFL dot net. You guys can 482 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: always send in your emails. We love here from you guys. 483 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: And he just said, basically, what are you guys hearing 484 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: about Nick Boile? He's such a huge part of our 485 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: running game and he thinks that things were drastically improve 486 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: with him out there, So I do. I mean, first 487 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: of all, the run game look pretty good yesday. We 488 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking about that, but having Boiled, 489 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: nobody can do what Boiled does, Like he's just a 490 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: unique player, and I think the Ravens, you know, Patrick 491 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: a Car does a lot of the similar things, but 492 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: Boil's ability to play the true tight end position is unique. So, 493 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: like you just said, Horrible mentioned that he's kind of 494 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: right around the corner, and I think that's that's like 495 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: a something that We haven't talked about a lot, but 496 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: the reinforcements could be on the way here for the Ravens, 497 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: they've had some key players get hurt. We still don't 498 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: know when Ronnie Stanley is going to be back, but 499 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens never put him on I R. So you 500 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: would think that maybe he could get back on the 501 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: field at some point, you know, playing the Bengals this week, 502 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: then the bye. Could he come back after the bye? 503 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: Could could Boil come back after the bye? Because Sammy 504 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: Watkins come back after the bye all of a sudden, 505 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: think about think about Hollywood, Sammy and Bateman out there. 506 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but then where's your guy do Renee? Oh 507 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: he's he's number four. He's number four, still doing the 508 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: jet sweeps and all that. Yeah, So like you could 509 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: get and and the Ravens have been banged up on 510 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: the offensive line. Um, you know, villaneuaves been fighting through 511 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: a knee. They got tired of Phillips. Phillips back last week, 512 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: so you could be in a situation snaps. Yeah, Ben 513 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: Powers was still the starter and played the vast majority 514 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: of the snaps. Yeah, but and and Ben Cleveland's on 515 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: I R. You know he John Harper said, that's a 516 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: short term i R situation for him. So I just 517 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, they've had a lot of early season injuries, 518 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: and you could be at a spot here where the 519 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: boy is always coming at the right time and and 520 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: they get guys coming back from from injuries. That would 521 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: be a good thing for the team, and you could 522 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: be in a very very good spot in terms of 523 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: where you're sitting standings wise. Yeah. So here's the question, Garrett. 524 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: When you you wake up and the Ravens have the 525 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: best record in the a f C, the question is 526 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: are the Ravens the best team in the a C. Well, 527 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 1: there's also the Bills, right, So they played tonight, so 528 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: we got you know, we gotta what twelve hours here 529 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: up hours to so get up with the best record. 530 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: They play the Titans. That's not gonna be a gimme game. No, 531 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: I I think it's between the Bills and the Ravens. Yeah, 532 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: I think it's I'm not I'm not rulling out the 533 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs either, but no, I'm not. Look, do you do 534 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: not put me in the camp of declaring the Chiefs done. 535 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: I am not in that camp. They are still an 536 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: incredibly explosive team. And if the Ravens see them again, Uh, 537 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: that's not a chocolate up, gimme game. Okay, that's not 538 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: I know that the Chiefs that I know that the 539 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs have not been the same team through the early 540 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: part of the season, but that is that is foolish 541 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 1: to think that they are done. Okay, and then uh, 542 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: the Bills. The Bills look really good and Josh Allen 543 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: is also in that m v P com station. We 544 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: all know what the defense is really good, and we 545 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: all know what happened in the playoffs last year. So 546 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 1: I'm saying right now it's between the Ravens and the Bills. 547 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: Collision course, thinks I would agree with that. The Browns 548 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: now sit at three and three coming off a loss 549 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: to the Arizona Cardinals. Baker Mayfield, I think dislocated shoulder 550 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: again shoulder, but still yeah. Kareem Kareem Hunt went down 551 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: with an injury in that game as well. Brown's defense, 552 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: after looking like lights out unit the first four weeks, 553 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: have has kind of struggled the past two h The Steelers, 554 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: your Steelers that you're always scared of, got a great 555 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: got They barely got over Geno Smith in the Seahawks 556 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: at home last night. Oh, I stayed until midnight to 557 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: watch the game. I was like, can the Seahawks bols 558 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: stay until midnight? Then that was that I started watching 559 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: the game and I was like, I just know how 560 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: to stand. This is just gonna bring me. I'm not 561 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: gonna wait my time. Just spoils, spoils a great Ravens win. 562 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it spoiled it, but just salty. Yeah. 563 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: Great win, great win, dominant win, and you got a 564 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: bed angry exactly poor decision on my part. Um Anyway, 565 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are in a good spot. But 566 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what this, this Sunday's game against the Bengals, 567 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: who's sitting out one spot behind the Ravens at four 568 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: and two in the a f C North, is a 569 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: very big game. They're playing some good football. I mean, 570 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: they just came off a dominant win over the Detroit 571 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: Lions thirty four to eleven. Their offense, I mean, Jamaar 572 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: Chases playing lights out, Joe Burrow, Joe Mixon is one 573 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: of the leading rushers in the NFL. Uh, you know 574 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: they could have beaten the Packers. They were they were 575 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: they were right there with the Packers lost in overtime 576 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: after a missfield goal. Um so, I mean they could 577 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: be right in a four game winning streak, so Bengal. 578 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: This game against the Bengals is a very big game, 579 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: one o'clock at mty Bank Stadium.
