I then stayed up even later breaking 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: down the film from the Pittsburgh game, which you know 49 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: had his pluses and minuses. 50 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 51 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: Uh, it did allow me to stay kind of on 52 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: East Coast time. 53 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're here for a week, so you're probably 54 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: gonna want to. 55 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: Switch, gonna eventually want to make that lunch time. 56 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: Like you don't get any bonus point. 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 3: You're like saying it like, hey, the good news is 58 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: I'm on East coastilon Is that good news? 59 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: No, it's definitely not good. It's not gonna crash hard 60 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: today at some point. But it did allow me to 61 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: break down the film, which we're going to go through 62 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: a little bit in depth. Yeare first, And one thing 63 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: I want to point you first is a lot of 64 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: stuff went really well in this game, and I know 65 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: it was a really frustrating loss. And you know, Cassie 66 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: and I broke it down. You weren't you took a 67 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: pass to god. 68 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: I was on I was on the flight back from Pittsburgh, 69 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: which we. 70 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: Didn't you record from the plane was there's internet on 71 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: the plane. 72 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: Game it's shaky and it would not have been the 73 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: right place or time for the podcast. 74 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: So say that. 75 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: So you know, obviously Cassie and I the frustration from 76 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: the loss. It was a tough loss, you know, and 77 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: and uh, definitely a frustrating one. But when you go 78 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: through the film, you see all that was going well 79 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: for the Ravens and why they absolutely should have won 80 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: that game. And where I kind of want to start 81 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson. I thought he had a really great game, 82 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: and I mean he's been good all year. It was 83 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: just last week when you were saying you thought that 84 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: was one of Lamar's best games of his career, maybe 85 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: the best. And going into this game, obviously there's a 86 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: lot of talk about Lamar versus Steelers. You know, he 87 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: had a one to two record as a starter against them, 88 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: had not played his best against the Steelers over his career. 89 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: I thought this was kind of his breakout performance against 90 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: the Ravens archepsis and so he had the highest grade 91 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: of any quarterback in the league in Week five from 92 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus ninety four point six. By the way, 93 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: anything over nineties in elite range. So we're gonna throw 94 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: out the E word when it comes to Lamar Jackson 95 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: this morning. Yeah, I mean, just really great command of 96 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: the offense. Seeing him kind of get protections right early 97 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: on in this game and shift protections, get on the 98 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: same page, and some of the round concepts, you know, 99 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: really putting Steelers players in a buying mink of Fitzpatrick 100 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: in a mind pinpoint throws. I thought he was really 101 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: accurate down the field. And one thing that we had 102 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: talked a lot about last week the media corp in 103 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: general in Baltimore was, you know, the Ravens have been 104 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: efficient offensively in the passing game. Lamar Jackson's completion percentage 105 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: was what second highest in the league, I think by 106 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: a few point, barely behind Josh Allens, right barely behind 107 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. But the Ravens hadn't hit many a lot 108 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: of explosive plays, and so Todd Monkin had said, that's 109 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: something absolutely it's like tenant number two of my offense. 110 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: When you're ranking the offensive desires, what you need to 111 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: do offensively explosive places like number two, and we saw 112 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: them take some shots in this game. They attack this 113 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 1: Steelers defense early on. So the Ravens twenty one point 114 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: one percent of Lamar Jackson's passes went for twenty air 115 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: yards or more. This isn't a catch and run. This 116 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: is yeah, traveled twenty yards or more in the air. 117 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: Twenty one point one percent. That's more than ten percent 118 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: higher than the Ravens season average. 119 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they were taking shots. 120 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: They were taking shots, and they hit a lot of them. 121 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: You know. I thought that Lamar's the play with that 122 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: was most impressive. I thought with Lamar was the one 123 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: to Zy Flowers third and eighteen. He scrambles outside. I mean, 124 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to cover on third and eighteen. Yeah, 125 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: he rolls outside, replants like that, gets his feet right, 126 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: and then launches one down the field. Not even I 127 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: mean it was it was a great pass, but just 128 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: to get his feet right in that scenario and then 129 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: and then deliver that pass on target, I thought was 130 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: it was an extremely underrated and great play. 131 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: Well that's honestly just from a big picture level here, 132 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 3: like the play of Lamar Jackson I think is one 133 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: of the kind of tragedies of the result of the game, 134 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: because I thought Lamar was great. You just had an 135 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 3: excellent performance, like you're like you said, and you broke 136 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 3: down some of the more detailed numbers there. But he 137 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,239 Speaker 3: was putting the ball on the money. He really played great. 138 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: The Ravens should have won that game by multiple scores 139 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: and basically because of Lamar. And when you lose a 140 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: game like that, then some of the national narrative becomes 141 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: like the Ravens aren't getting what they should out of 142 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson and. 143 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's crazy. 144 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 3: Smith had a big thing on on his show this 145 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: week about you know, the Ravens paid Lamar Jackson. He 146 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: got all this guaranteed money and he got this big 147 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 3: contract and they're sitting here at three and two and 148 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 3: and he's coughing the ball up and fun one too 149 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: much and stuff like that, and like that becomes part 150 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: of the conversation, when in reality the conversation should be man, 151 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 3: Lamar was dialed in and delivering the ball on the 152 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: money has taken great strides as a passer and had, 153 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: you know, another great game and the Ravens are four 154 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 3: and one, Like that should have been what everybody was 155 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: talking about on Monday morning. 156 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: Obviously the Steelers, you know, whatever hang up was there 157 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: with the Steelers all. 158 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: That stuff, And I think that's one of the things 159 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: to me that is so frustrating about the game is 160 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: because it's like this missed opportunity in so many different ways. 161 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: The opportunity before and one, the opportunity to kind of 162 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: not bury the Steelers but put them in a big hole, 163 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: and the opportunity to just kind of further cement how 164 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: good Lamar Jackson has been early in the season, and 165 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 3: of course. 166 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: I think also the opportunity to roll that momentum into 167 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: this trip. 168 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, right, yeah. 169 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: I mean it would have been a different flight over 170 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: here had the Ravens won that game, I think, a 171 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: different feeling certainly, and you know that that kind of 172 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: leaves a little bit of a pit in your stomach 173 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: all week. Yeah. 174 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, It's always like, you know, people always ask like, 175 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: how's the flight, you know, how's them how's the mood 176 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: on the plane? And I can just tell you on 177 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 3: the on the way out here it was it was 178 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: tired and it was quiet, you know, like that's the 179 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: mood on the plane, and you got a seven hour 180 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: flight to London. You know, you basically twelve hours after landing, 181 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: and I just think it was kind of you know, 182 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: it's a long flight, so most flights that are seven 183 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: hours long pretty quiet. 184 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: What did you do on the plane? 185 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: I watched? Uh, I watched a couple of movies. 186 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: Which movies. 187 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: I watched a Muhammad Ali documentary and the Fablements. 188 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: I watched the documentary too, is about the kites. There's 189 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: birds in India. OS good. Okay, I highly recommend on 190 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: the way back. 191 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: All right, it's it's on the it's on the plane. Yeah, ok, yeah, 192 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: you got it. Yeah. 193 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: I try to stay awake. I try to stay awake. 194 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: So you were me, you were just sleeping the whole way, 195 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: mouth open, snoring. Phil Cunningham next to me was like, 196 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 3: I didn't have the heart to wake you up. You 197 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: were just like it was the heavy mouth I've been drooling. 198 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 2: Just yeah. 199 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 3: So so anyway, got sidetracked there. But yeah, I just 200 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 3: just kind of finished the thought on the Maar. That's 201 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 3: I just think that like he was great. I think 202 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: I thought he played a great game, and it's just 203 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: like it's so disappointing that like we're spending any energy 204 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: talking about, you know, any discussion about him not having 205 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: a great game, because he did. He had a great 206 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 3: game and he and the Ravens weren't fully rewarded for that. 207 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: And obviously that you know, the drop passes were a 208 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: huge reason that we're having this discussion. 209 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I do want to get into that a 210 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: little bit. One last thing I want to to get 211 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: on the Ravens offense. I thought the ground game was cranking. 212 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum one block, you know block and two guys 213 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: on one. I thought Justice Hill, you know, you go 214 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: back and watch the tape was running really well. Had 215 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: had that joystigma where he kind of ducked under the 216 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: guy's tackle, I mean, showed his elusiveness. Justice Hill also 217 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: led the Ravens in backfield snaps, continues to show his 218 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: versatility and obviously he had to fumble. 219 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: On the ball. 220 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: Got to clean that up. 221 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: But it's like with these with back to back week 222 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 3: or not back to back weeks and two losses, it's 223 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 3: like they just that's the thing about his game is 224 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: kind of similar script in both games, and that you've 225 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 3: got like a running back running down the middle of 226 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: the field where the offense is driving and moving and 227 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: feeling good about the game, and then all of a sudden 228 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: you're saying the Kenny Drake, Yeah, yeah, it gets the 229 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: Colts kind of similar situation to play both from behind 230 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: both You look at Justice Hills and you know, the 231 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 3: shame of it is he made a guy miss the 232 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: ripen field and you're like, great, he's breaking out into 233 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: the middle of the field and then it was just 234 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 3: a de tackle from behind that he never saw, you know, 235 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 3: and and whatever. 236 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: You know, there's no excuses. I'm sure he would say 237 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: the same thing. Got to keep that ball high and tight. 238 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: It was a good play by Larry good Okeunjobi to 239 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: kind of track that down. But you know, that's the 240 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: funny thing is like mistakes happen in football, right, like 241 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: it's just part of the game. Fumbles happened at times, 242 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: but it's also at the same time you say it's 243 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: not it's inexcusable, you know, but it also happens, so 244 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. I thought, you know, you brought up Mark Andrews, 245 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: and I thought, one thing watching this game is that 246 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: dude on crossers crossing routes, would you see a lot 247 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: of one thing I noticed with Todd Mounkin is like 248 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: his routes aren't There's a lot of rounded corners in 249 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: his routes. You look, you look at them and Mark 250 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews running these kind of looping, rounding crossers or 251 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: given teams fits. And it gave the Steelers fits. Patrick 252 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: Peterson couldn't run with him, Minka Fitzpatrick could not run 253 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: with him on these crossers. It was given them problems. 254 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: And another route I wanted to see because you see 255 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: you see some nuances with Toddmnkin's offense and how it's 256 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: different from Greg Ruins. And I think the routes and 257 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: the top of the routes, and I remember I think 258 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: it was Za Wasn't it said that was it? Zay? 259 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Somebody told us that at the top of routes that yeah, 260 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: I zay. He said, like he had, they have a 261 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: lot of freedom at the top of these routes. And 262 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: you see that when you look at the film. One 263 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: one that stood out to me was Nelson Hegeler kind 264 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: of ran kind of a it was like a comeback, 265 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: but it wasn't like a traditional stick your foot, you know, 266 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: pivot on that foot. It was like a weird like 267 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: he opened his hips and kind of flipped it the 268 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: other way and came back. It just some interesting route 269 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: concepts that I think Todd Mounkin has certainly brought to 270 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens offense. 271 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I. 272 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 3: Thought, yeah in terms of like Mark Andrew, Like again, 273 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: I just to me, I just come back to the 274 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: fact that like it it, I don't know it just 275 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 3: when I think about this game, I just think about 276 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: just it's just the missed opportunity because like the point 277 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 3: that you're making, which is good, it's like, well, the 278 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: reason we feel like it was a missed opportunity it 279 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 3: is because the Ravens really outplayed the Steelers. 280 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: Oh for sure, they outplayed him. They should have smoked. 281 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 3: Him and they they So in order to outplay them, 282 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 3: you have to do a lot of things right. So 283 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 3: they were moving the ball on offense, they were they 284 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 3: looked good early on. The defense was locked down. It's 285 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: basically shut down. We haven't even gotten to the defense yet. 286 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: But like, even on offense, they were doing a lot 287 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 3: of things right. But then that didn't convert that into 288 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 3: points because of turnover and you know, because of drop 289 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 3: confused drop balls and confusion at the end of half, 290 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 3: like all those things led to not putting more points 291 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 3: on the board, and so you just have this like 292 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 3: feeling for a good reason of missed opportunity. And you know, 293 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 3: that's kind of where it you know, I think where 294 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 3: it stands in terms of that game as a whole. 295 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: Well, when you know, we talk about the drops and 296 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: after the game, Cassie and I are kind of talking 297 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: about it, and it's like, what do you do? You know, 298 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know you do anything exactly, and. 299 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 3: You like, it's not like practice. It's I mean, sure 300 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 3: you work on that in practice, but like receivers work 301 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 3: on that practice every day for the last twenty years 302 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: they've been playing football. 303 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: When I went back and watched all the drops in 304 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: slow motion, which was not exercise, that was particularly fun, huh. 305 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: You know, one kind of there was one consistent theme 306 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: with most of them, which was just hand placement and 307 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: their hands being too far apart. You know, you bring 308 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: the thumbs a little bit closer to each other and 309 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: the ball stops sure right, and like it you kind 310 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: of saw you see that on multiple of those catches. 311 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: It's kind of like, you know, with any of these 312 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: so much of the game is about technique, hitting, being 313 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: precise on execution, and that's about your fundamentals and your technique. 314 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: And I think that the Ravens, when you go back 315 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: and watch those drops, they're kind of be kicking themselves 316 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: of you know, if your thumbs are an inch closer 317 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: to each other, you catch that ball, it just stops. 318 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: And their hands were a little too wide. Yeah, the 319 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: Agalar one was definitely that way. Man went right through 320 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: between the two Mark Andrews. His in the end zone 321 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: was the same exact thing. 322 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, Marks, to me was the most forgivable. 323 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: That was like the toughest of that one got on 324 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: them pretty fast. Yeah. And then I think that on 325 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: the next throw that Lamar seemed to want to take 326 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: a little bit off of that throw Debateman because I 327 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: mean he fired it at Mark. No, that's a catch 328 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: that I think Mark would say I should make that catch. 329 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: And he had a chance, I mean right through the 330 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: hands right he. 331 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: Made it the previous week in Cleveland. 332 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: Well, that was a different much different throw, which was 333 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: but it was it was a tough It was a tough, 334 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: tough sure, but this was a different play. It got 335 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: on him fast and and Lamar hummed it. In there, 336 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: but it's a play Mark Andrews, you know, would say 337 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: he should make. And then the very next throw I think, 338 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: you know Bateman. The shame of it too is great 339 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: release by Bateman. I mean great release. He cooked. The 340 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: guy on the line of scrimmage breaks wide. You know 341 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: what You're like, You're wide open? How do you not 342 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: catch that? Well, you got wide open because of the 343 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: great release that he had at the line of scrimmage, 344 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: which is tough to do in the red zone to 345 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: get that wide open. And then it looked like Lamar 346 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: just took a little bit off that ball. 347 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: He definite did. Yeah, he threw the change. 348 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: Exactly and maybe because of the throat to Mark was 349 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: the fastball, and I don't know if that threw Bateman 350 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: off a little bit. You know, he had to kind 351 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: of go up for it too. Again, I catch that. 352 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: I think he would say, he would absolutely say, just 353 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: judging by his body line which afterwards, that he should 354 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: make that catch. And another one that was a hand 355 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: placement issue. I think he just kind of fought it 356 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think maybe the change I don't know, Yeah, I. 357 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 3: Mean there was a guy that kind of came in 358 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 3: front of his face a little bit on it, but. 359 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: I mean I think it was the change up in 360 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: the it just cal it a little bit away from 361 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: his body. 362 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 3: I mean, we can look through like we could talk 363 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 3: to hand placement, we can talk ball speed at the 364 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 3: end of the day, like that's a catch that's right 365 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: on you in the end zone catch NFL receiver make 366 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 3: and and you know, not a particularly challenging catch and 367 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: he knows that, and you know, he knows that's play 368 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 3: that he has made plenty of times in his life. 369 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: And you know, I feel for him. You know, I 370 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: think he's he wants, he wants it to work. You know, 371 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: he's been working hard. You know, and you've seen this 372 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: at times with different guys in their careers. You see 373 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: a guy that's like working really hard and trying to 374 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: make it happen, and has dealt with injuries and wants it. 375 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: You know, I think he's working hard, and so I 376 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 3: feel for him, and I think that, you know, I 377 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 3: think it's one of those situations where if you just 378 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: if you hit one, it's like you know, baseball player 379 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: who's in a slump, you know, continue the baseball analogies, 380 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: like you're in. 381 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: The slump talk about jousting analogies. 382 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 3: I don't know any jousting analogies, but if you if 383 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: you get a big hit, that you can break out 384 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: of that slump, and Bateman needs that, and that could 385 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 3: have been that, you know, I think. And so that's 386 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 3: kind of another one of those, you know, missed opportunities. 387 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 3: But I'm really hoping that he breaks out of it. 388 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, one another play I want to talk about that. 389 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: He kind of mentioned, you know, the the confusion, the 390 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum snap at the end of the first half 391 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: that shouldn't have been a snap, you know, just for 392 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: listeners who may not have known, you know, John Harwall 393 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: explained that they were going to try to run down 394 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: the clock. The intention was to run down the clock 395 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: and then take a time out and then kick the 396 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: field goal with Tyler Lindenbaum thought that the Steelers had 397 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: jumped into the neutral zone, which would have been encouragement, 398 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: gotten a free five yards in a first down, and 399 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: that's why he snapped the ball. Going back to the 400 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: tape wasn't particularly close to being encouragement. So I'm not 401 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: sure exactly why. And then the shame of it also 402 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: is that you know, Zay flowers popped open pretty quickly. 403 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: I think it was fourth and two. He took Lamar's right, 404 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: but his eyes I think his first read was to 405 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: his left, which was unfortunate because he and then he 406 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: came back to Zay and he had pressure immediately. T J. 407 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: Watt was in his grille, which ticker Lamar's credit made 408 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: a miss, but if you know, if he had if 409 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: only his eyes had been to the right at first, Yeah, 410 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: he had an easy completion for a first down to say, 411 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: and he tried to roll around and then get it 412 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: to him but it was too late. Yeah, it just 413 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: unfortunate all the way around. 414 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, messing, as you know, John Harbaugh said, you know 415 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 3: after the game, you know that's that's just take the 416 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 3: three points there. 417 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: You know, the confusion there led to led to going 418 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: forward in that situation. 419 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: With The funny thing is you look at the the 420 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: analytics behind that one, and I know, whatever, you know, 421 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: people really liked this, but the analytics actually show that 422 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: a field goal was one percent like their recommendation from 423 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: next sense that they do win probability, right, it was 424 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: siding with field goal by one percentage point. 425 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: Right, So it's not like a clear cut decision. Everyone's 426 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: talking about it like a clear cut decision. 427 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: And the Ravens had a eighty three point eight percent 428 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: chance to win the game if they went for it. 429 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: They had an eighty four point seven percent chance if 430 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: they kicked the field goal. Yeah, and I assume that. 431 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if that assumes the made field goal. 432 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how next gen stats works like that, 433 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's I mean I would have gone field goal. 434 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: John Harball wanted the good field goal. I think a 435 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: lot of people did. But it's just interesting to go 436 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: back and look at the stats, the analytics on that. 437 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is that is interesting. 438 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's also interesting because basically what they're 439 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 3: saying is like, you're you're probably gonna win this game 440 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 3: either wall, it doesn't really matter. You know, it's kind 441 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 3: kind of what the next gen stats are saying in 442 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: that situation. But it would have been true, but you know, 443 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 3: obviously it wasn't that that's not the case. So all right, 444 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 3: let's take a break and then we'll flip it over 445 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 3: the truth offensive side. 446 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: Al Right, we're come to you from the Sea Geeks Studio. 447 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 2: Sea Geek Studios on the road this week.

I mean again the inside 461 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: linebackers this is the theme every single week, but really 462 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: dictated the action. I mean Rokuwan Smith first played the 463 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: game knifeing into the backfield Naji Harris for no gain. Yeah, 464 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: I mean they dominated the secondary is you know it? 465 00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: It was obviously got back Marlon Humphrey for his first game, 466 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: partially season partially he split snaps with Ronald Darby Rocky 467 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: Scene ended up not playing any defensive snaps, so kind 468 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: of interesting. The kind of eased Marlon back into action. 469 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: The raven secondary continued to play really well. The Ravens 470 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: forced a tight window on forty point six percent of 471 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett's passes on Sunday. That's the highest in any 472 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: game for any defense this season. Yeah, I mean Kenny 473 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: Pickett did not have many OVID shots. Now, they basically were. 474 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: The entire passing game for the Steelers was back shoulders, 475 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: sideline throws. That's all they completed and did, and they 476 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: missed them, and they hit some. They hit them late 477 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: in the game. George Pickens was obviously a problem in 478 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: this game. But overall, like you talk about, you talk 479 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: about the the play of the Ravens secondary, I thought, 480 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: really really strong. You see Patrick Queen again making big 481 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: time plays. You know, his sack I thought was really impressive, 482 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: basically set a pick for Justin Madabike and then ended 483 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: up still being the first one to hit Canny Pickett. Yep, 484 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: Patrick Queen, you saw him made another third and one 485 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: stop just back, really good backside pursuit and slices into 486 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: the backfield to hit Naja Harris for no game punt. 487 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: Right like I mean the defense was spectacular again. 488 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah that again. I like the theme missed opportunities. 489 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: That's it. 490 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 3: That's one of the things that is really disappointing about 491 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 3: the final result. It's like the defense was really good, 492 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 3: you know, all for the majority of the game and 493 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 3: then basically it's the big play at the end on 494 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 3: the George Pickens versus Marlin play, and it's. 495 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: Like it was really three plays. So you go through 496 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: that last drive the Steelers, they hit three plays, but. 497 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: There was one that was really it was more than 498 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: that was the top of the three. That's true, Like 499 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 3: he's sure you could say it's three, but like there 500 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 3: was one that was the one that everyone remembers from 501 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 3: that game. 502 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: Like touchdown. 503 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that was That's what the side of the game, 504 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 3: and and that you know a game when he touchdowns, 505 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: it's a game winner. And so that's my point is 506 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 3: just like the defense that they played a really great game, 507 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 3: and like the Steelers were going nowhere, They were going 508 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 3: nowhere for the majority of that game, and then he 509 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 3: hits the big play, and it's like Marlond was in 510 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 3: and out throughout the game, especially in the second half, 511 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: looked like he was like probably on a pitch count. 512 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 3: You know, in his first game back, you kind of 513 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 3: want to ease back in. 514 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, the drive before they had actually they had moved 515 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. Darby was in. On that drive, 516 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: they hit a couple their Warren had a hurdle, Warren 517 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: started heat up a little bit. They started to get 518 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: their ground game going with Warren a little bit, and 519 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: I think it was kind of you know, defense have 520 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: been on the field a lot. 521 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing is, like you give it, You 522 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 3: give really any team in the NFL enough opportunities. 523 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's hard. 524 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: It's hard to shut him down an entire game, and 525 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: that's kind of what you saw it. So you shut 526 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 3: him down ninety eight percent of the game for the 527 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 3: most part, but you know it was it was full 528 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: sixty minutes. 529 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and on that on that drive, just to kind 530 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: of complete that thought at Travis Steans made a hell 531 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: of a gold line play just tossing the block right, 532 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: just Mattabek and Travis Jones, Isaac I don't even know 533 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: how to say his last name, Samolo. They got a guard, 534 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: signed a guard from San Francisco. This offseason was like 535 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: their big free agent acquisition Ravens. It was an introduction's 536 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: AFC Northern rivalry for him. I thought Justin MADEBK and 537 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: Travis Jens had some good plays against him. And now 538 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: to the last drive, you do, I do have to 539 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: kind of tip my cap to Kenny Pickett in a way, 540 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: you know. I said it was three plays the first 541 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: one really and I thought his Pickett's best play of 542 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: the game was on third and nine to start that drive. 543 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: Ravens first two downs, stuff them. We've got a third 544 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: and nine. Basically they're gonna probably go for it on 545 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: fourth down in that scenario, but you got a chance, 546 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: you're right, and uh, the Ravens sent a blitz Kyle 547 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: Hamilton and Patrick Queen off the left side and they 548 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: came screaming in and his interesting Matta BK was lined 549 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: up at outside linebacker, basically he was on the edge. 550 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 1: So you saw Mike and Donald dial up some creative 551 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: kind of blitzes there in that situation, end of game scenario, 552 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: that one almost got home, but Kenny Pickett stood in 553 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: there and delivered a ball nine right at the sticks 554 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: to move the chains. It was a big time to 555 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: play by him. I don't know what this dude for 556 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: some reason the fourth quarter against the Ravens comes alive. 557 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: I know, he dead dead, exactly dead for three quarters 558 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I don't know what it is that 559 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: gets in Kenny Pickett, but I don't like it because 560 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: it's little Ben Roethlisberger like. So that was that was 561 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: a throw, and then there was another back shoulder down 562 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: the field to Pickens. You know, Spirin and Stevens had 563 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: pretty good coverage on it. Just good play, good catch. 564 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: And then on the forty one year touchdown, Ravens again 565 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: cover zero, you know, and the I mean it was 566 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: a good throw, I pick it really it was the 567 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: pass protection, like they had the perfect protection call on 568 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: because the Ravens brought it and they kind of rolled 569 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: pickt a little bit to his right, which brought him 570 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: away from the pressure. They had it blocked up backside anyway. 571 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: But you know, it ends up Marcus Williams is in 572 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: the box and basically had no shot at getting Penny Picket. 573 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: It was just like a lost player basically, you know, 574 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: and there's her safety over the top that's just down 575 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimage and had no impact and 576 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: and then brokeuon you know, it's a shame Brokuon didn't 577 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: come on it too. He kind of, I think had 578 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: running back duties and kind of had the spy the 579 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: running back potentially coming out, and he ended up being 580 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: a non factor in the play too. So it's kind 581 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: of like this. You know, it was a heavy pressure, 582 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: but none of them got even close. 583 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 2: They didn't They didn't really affect the play. 584 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: Because it was really just Marlin on an Island. 585 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 3: Which like I like, you know, I like Marlin on 586 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 3: an Island in a lot of situations. You know, first 587 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 3: came back against George Pickens is a pretty good receiver. 588 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 3: It's a tough assignment, you know, but I think that 589 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 3: you know, Marlin's gonna win a lot of those one 590 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: on one matchups and just didn't win that one. 591 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 2: Got beat and you. 592 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 3: Know, good throw, good catchy, you know, and that was 593 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 3: all she wrote. And then like after that point, after 594 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 3: that point, just to you know, complete the misery here, 595 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: you know, like then the Ravens get the ball back, 596 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 3: but you know that's when that's when the Steelers turn 597 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 3: out the heat. You know, that's when those two edge 598 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 3: rushers coming off the edge is there, Like you. 599 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: Don't want to be trailing. To your point, you don't 600 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: want to be trailing the Steelers late in the game, 601 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: especially when you're on your third string right tackle. 602 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, they just turn up the heat in that 603 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 3: situation and it's hard to get anything going. And basically 604 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 3: that's what happened on this last two drives. They're we're 605 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 3: going nowhere, yeah, and they're basically in a it's not 606 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: like a total desperate I mean, it wasn't like hell 607 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 3: Mary mode quite yet, but it was desperation mode where 608 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 3: you're basically just dropping back the pass and you got 609 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 3: to move the ball down the field and hurry and 610 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 3: shame high Smith coming off the edge, and they didn't 611 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 3: have an answer for them in that moment. 612 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they hit the one the day to 613 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: start that drive and I'm thinking here, I know, I know, 614 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: and the shame of you know, pass protection was an 615 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: issue in this game. The Steelers got too much pressure 616 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 1: in the Ravens backfield. I mean Alex Highsmith had eleven 617 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: pressures accord thirteen pressures on twenty eight point three percent 618 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: pressure rate. 619 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's high. 620 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's coming off the left side the way 621 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 3: they play. Basically, Highsmith comes off the left side of 622 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 3: Ronnie Stanley's side and t J. Watt stays on the 623 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 3: right tackle side. 624 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean, you know, it is Ronnie's first 625 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: game back from his knee injury suffered in Week one. 626 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: I don't know how much that was, you know, an issue, 627 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: you know, getting back up the speed. But you know, 628 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: the and and high Smith's a good player, you know. 629 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy who had double digit sacks 630 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: last year. He was a just signed to a big 631 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: contract extension. But obviously you can't be given up that 632 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: much pressure week to week. I mean it was the 633 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: most pressures that Ronnie's given up since twenty eighteen. Uh huh. 634 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: So you know, I think he'll be He'll be looking 635 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: to have a better performance this week against the Titans. 636 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: You know. And and like we said, patrim Carrey gets 637 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: out with the chest injury down, Daniel Filelele steps in TJ. 638 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: Watt was When TJ. Wat can rush the passer, you know, 639 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: especially when he can just pin his ears back, he 640 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: is a problem. And and we certainly saw that the 641 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna need better pass pro section because as 642 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: we see you know, lass dealing like when Lamar is 643 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: protected well dealing, Yeah, dealing, and so definitely a tough, 644 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: tough way to finish that game. Certainly, I think leaves. 645 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: You know, you're tea tasting a little soury here in London, 646 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: a little bitter, a little bitter. You need a couple 647 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: of sugar cubes. I put about five in my my coffees. 648 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: The tea was actually the best thing on the plane 649 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: on the flight over. Did you have any? 650 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 3: I did not have any tea, But it should be 651 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: that's it should be great, right. 652 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: It was, I mean ted last, so I don't know 653 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: what he's talking about. I thought the tea was great. 654 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 2: Thought you love the seat. 655 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 3: I did not have any tea on the on the plane. 656 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have some plenty this week. Which actually this 657 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 3: is a good transition here, so you know, you know, 658 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 3: we we kind of talked about the setup here. You know, 659 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 3: the Ravens made the decision going into this game to 660 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 3: come over early, and so you know, the tough part 661 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 3: of it is, you know, like I said earlier, basically 662 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 3: twelve hours after getting home from a tough physical game 663 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: against Pittsburgh, right back at the facility to turn aroun 664 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 3: around and head to London on a long flight to 665 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 3: spend all week here, So that's a quick, kind of 666 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 3: challenging turnaround. But you know, John Harwall talked about the decision. 667 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 3: Last time the Ravens played here in twenty seventeen, they 668 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 3: did the opposite. They came late in the week and 669 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 3: they basically got left on Thursday, got here on Friday, 670 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 3: played the game. Obviously we all know that game did 671 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 3: not go well, and so they decided to do the 672 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 3: opposite this week, and they looked into it with pros 673 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: and cons of all these different things, and ultimately determined, 674 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 3: you know, there's there's not a clear Teams do different 675 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 3: approaches and the results are different. 676 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,239 Speaker 2: So we're doing the opposite of what we did last time. 677 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean John Harvell's very much a research based person. Yeah, 678 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: it makes his decisions that way, and basically said, we 679 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: looked for all the research that we could find, and 680 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: there wasn't any definitive research on what the best strategy is. So, 681 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: you know what, it didn't work this way last time, 682 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: so let's try something different. 683 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, And the Titans are doing the opposite. The Titans 684 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 3: are getting here later in the week, They're coming out 685 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 3: on Thursday, Thursday night, Basically they're basically doing what the 686 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 3: into the last time, and and they did that previously 687 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: when they've played here. I don't know the last time 688 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 3: they played here, but they did the same thing, whether 689 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 3: they lost, and and and verybel uh we're talking about 690 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 3: well Rabel basically said, you know, here's the thing, like, 691 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 3: like I mean, in reality, like you can't base necessarily 692 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 3: loss versus the travel arrangements entirely. 693 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: Uh. 694 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 3: But very Able made the point in his press conference 695 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 3: on Monday that like felt like we were prepared and 696 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 3: like ready to go, but just didn't win the game. 697 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 3: And so it felt like that was the best approach. 698 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 3: So I don't know, we'll see, you know, we'll see 699 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 3: how the week goes. They're basically going to practice, you know, 700 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: they're going to practice this week at Totten's facility. Uh. 701 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 3: And so it's you know, it's it is different in that, 702 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 3: like the biggest change beyond like the sleep and the 703 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 3: travel and the long flight stuff. Like the biggest change 704 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 3: really is like you're now your weekly operations is upended, 705 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 3: you know, and you're everything is is you're you're sleeping 706 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 3: in a hotel of course, but then like you're practicing 707 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 3: in a different place, and all that is is different now, 708 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 3: Like credit to our operations team here. They do a 709 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 3: great job of trying to make it so that like 710 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 3: once the players and coaches are on the site here, 711 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 3: then everything can kind of operate smoothly and you can 712 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: just focus on football, you know. But it is different. 713 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 3: I mean it's a different environment and you're practicing a 714 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,479 Speaker 3: new place and all that. 715 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of like, you know, you have 716 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: your routine at home, right, like with your baby, right, 717 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: you have you have your routine, right my kids, I 718 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: got the routine to get pack to lunches, get them 719 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: out the door, on the bus, all that stuff, right, 720 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: And imagine doing like the same routine but in a 721 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: foreign country, like like where's the peanut water? 722 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 2: I gotta make this peanut butter and jelly sandwiches hot? 723 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 2: What's going on? 724 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's it's weird, you know. It makes 725 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: everything a little bit more challenging. But I think that 726 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens have done a good job, like 727 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: you said of they try to make it as seamless 728 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: as possible. 729 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, And and I think that like the benefit 730 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 3: of coming out the benefit of coming out on Monday 731 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 3: is then Tuesdays players off day, So like players are 732 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 3: able to go down and check out sites of London 733 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 3: if they want, or they can hang out in their 734 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,719 Speaker 3: room and sleep whatever they want to do, but like 735 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 3: they have Tuesdays an off day to sight see. And 736 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 3: then basically Wednesday is that Wednesday traditionally back home and 737 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 3: here is going to be all right, now it's game week, 738 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 3: it's practice. So then like you kind of maintain that 739 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 3: normal schedule and the hope is basically you kind of 740 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 3: get caught up on the sleep and the jet lag 741 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 3: on Tuesday, then then you hit the ground running on 742 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 3: Wednesday and have a normal quote unquote week of practice 743 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 3: from there on out. 744 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, totally. What do you have planned for day 745 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: and the week here? 746 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 3: Garrett, Well, I mean the truth is like there's really 747 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 3: I mean, Tuesday, you know, we missed a shuttle downtown, 748 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 3: so there to go is it's going to big bands sales, 749 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 3: say farewell in to the shuttle, we take the pod. 750 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: For you all. 751 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 3: And then and then on you know, Wednesday and Thursday, 752 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 3: basically we got uh practice those days and then again Friday, 753 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 3: we're heading down and we're gonna do a live episode 754 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 3: of the Lounge podcast at the Counting House Pub in 755 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 3: downtown London.
