1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: We got the schedule, baby, This is when it starts

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: to feel a little bit real. Garrett. I get like

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: butterflies on my summit because I started to look through it. Yeah,

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm always like, all right, what's this gonna look like? Cububs.

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: That's how That's how I get it. I like Week

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: one at home against Cleveland. I think the Browns are

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: a better team than they were last year, but I

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: think they're in a tough spot because of the altered

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: off season with COVID Night team a new coach. Plus,

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: I love the idea of Kevin Stefanski spending all off

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: season being like, all right, what are they gonna do

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: with the Mark? It's give me in the nightmares all summer?

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: And I kind of like, yeah, the home Monday night

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: football Rabeings Chiefs matchup is kind of glad, be awesome,

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the defending Kansas City Chiefs and patching the homes, the

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Jackson and the Baltimore. I'm glad that you don't voice

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: over those videos just completely. That sounded pretty good. I

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: don't know, Welcome into the lounge. We got the schedule, baby,

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: This is when it starts to feel a little bit real, Garrett.

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: It's always funny whenever the schedule email comes in and

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: we and you know, we get it a little bit

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: before it goes public, which is obviously why we're recording this.

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: But whenever the schedule email comes in, for some reason,

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: I get like nervous, I get like butterflies in my stummit,

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: because I started to look through it. Yeah, I'm always like,

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: all right, what's just gonna look like? It starts to

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: feel like football, And I always get a little bit

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: nervous when I first opened that email. Huh, yeah, I

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: don't get that feeling. I'm always like, okay, alright, alright, alright,

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: dubs dub dub. That's how that's how I Well, I

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: don't look at it like that perspective of like win

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: loss win, win loss. It's just more like, also, you're

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: for us. So much of everything is basically the schedule

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: of sort of dictates, uh, what your life is gonna

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: look like for like a four month period, and so

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: it's just interesting to see what that is, how it's

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: gonna play out, what it's gonna look like. Well, I

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: also immediately start doing the travel draft, which we don't

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: even fish, we don't officially do anymore. Uh, we should

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: just do it just for old times. He's sake, you

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: wanna do it today? You would do it today? No, No,

42
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: it's it's not it's a silly d If you don't,

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: if you don't, even it's not even real. It's not

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: even real. I that that have You know, if this

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: is like a potential, all of our drafts are fake,

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: but this is one that was once real. Doesn't really

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: carry any weight to it anymore. Like it's there's no

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: there's no value to it. So I don't care what

49
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: you say. I'm still going to kind of do it today.

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: What do you think is the is the best road game? Wait? Wait,

51
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: we're just jumping right into it right now. What I'm

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: just curious? What do you think? I mean, what do

53
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: you mean the travel wise? Yeah? Oh, I mean I

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: would probably if I had the number one pick. All right,

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: so we're doing it. I would. I would take at

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: Patriots for the clam chowder at halftime alone. I don't

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: even care that Tom Brady's not there. I'll take you

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: a Patriot. It's not a good travel season. I mean

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: the NFC East Yawn, you know, the a f C

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: South Yawn without a trip to Nashville. Trip to Nashville

61
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: is always fun. But you're going to at Houston. You know,

62
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: what's the other one at what's the other one at

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: Cold So all right, let's just go ahead. I'm guessing

64
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: the fans have have seen it, but I'm just gonna

65
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: go through it real quick. One through sixteen in case

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: you haven't opener home Cleveland Browns one o'clock, then at Houston,

67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: then Kansas City Monday Night Football comes to town. Then

68
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: at Washington home Cincinnati, at Philly home Steelers. That's the

69
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: first seven weeks, then the bye at Colts at Patriots

70
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night football home Tan's one o'clock. Surprised to me

71
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: that that's one o'clock at Steelers Thanksgiving Night. It's that

72
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: night game the raven They love scheduling the Ravens on

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: that Thanksgiving night game. Then back to back Thursday games

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: because they come home and play the Cowboys the next

75
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Then three straight primetime games at Cleveland Monday

76
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Night football. Then final three games of the season home

77
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville, home against the Giants both one o'clock, and

78
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: then at Cincinnati to finish the season in the classic

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Weeks seventeen game. We get back to that, uh

80
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: in a one o'clock game as of now. So that

81
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: is the run through of the schedule. UM. Five primetime

82
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: games probably the headlining point. Playing out Thanksgiving night certainly

83
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: a big point. Um. What do you think of the schedule?

84
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: We'll start there. Overall, I really like it. I think

85
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that just break well for

86
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: the Ravens. UM. I like, I like start at home,

87
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: and I like starting against the Browns at home h

88
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: in particular because well, whatever I'll get into that, the

89
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: by is well situated. I almost thought there for a

90
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: second that we were going home away, home, away, home

91
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: away again. It started out the first seven that right,

92
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: the first eight that way, and then we have two

93
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: straight weeks nine and ten on the road. Uh. I

94
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: like that. It kind of finishes a little bit and

95
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this in air quotes a little softer,

96
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: you know, with the Jags Giants at Bengals now you

97
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: never know, but you know, based looking back on last year,

98
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: at least, that's a little bit of an easier stretch

99
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: to finish. Um. So there's a lot, there's a lot

100
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: of and I like five prime time games I mean this,

101
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: besides the lack of sleep that I'm gonna be getting, Um,

102
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: it's just fun. I mean this. The Ravens deserve to

103
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: be on prime time after what they did last year.

104
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: We had the most exciting player in the NFL bar none.

105
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: And uh, it's just good for the team, good for

106
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: the city, good for excitement. Yeah, three road primetime games

107
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: certainly would have preferred, you know, three home prime time

108
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: for getting picky, but um, versus more on the road,

109
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: I think the road prime time is tough. But I

110
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: mean I said this in Final Drive today. The Ravens

111
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: some teams you worry about, Like some teams I do

112
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: worry about how they will handle playing on prime time.

113
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Graves are pretty good Monday and football lat year in

114
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: l A. Right. You know what, I actually don't mind that.

115
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: I kind of like being on the road in prime time.

116
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Like you all players are naturally always gonna get up

117
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: for a prime time game regardless, right, and just going

118
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: in on prime time being the enemy all that. It

119
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: just I kind of like it, you know, I mean, sure,

120
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: does it add a little bit more noise maybe to

121
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the to the atmosphere, maybe you know that more I

122
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: mean there's I haven't. I don't have the full, you know,

123
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: exhaustive studies here, but I think that it's pretty clear

124
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: that playing on the road, UM and prime time, particularly

125
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: Monday night, is most challenging. And it's like it's a

126
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: significant draw off. It's like you're significantly more likely to

127
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: lose a road Monday night game than you are a

128
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: road one o'clock game. Sure. Yeah, I'm kind of speaking

129
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: specifically to this team. I like, I like the Ravens

130
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: in the atmosphere. You mentioned l A last year. I

131
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: just I think this team rises to the occasion. UM,

132
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: So I'd rather just have the home games like not.

133
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's always fun to have a primetime game,

134
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: but I kind of just like the one o'clock Homer's

135
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: home games, and let's go on the road on prime

136
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: time for sure, let's take it. I like the game

137
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm most excited about is I like the home prime

138
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: time the home Monday night football Ravens Chiefs matchup. That'll

139
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: be awesome. That's I mean, that's I think probably the

140
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: game that everybody is circling on their calendar league wide,

141
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, media types. I've already seen everybody saying that's

142
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: the Game of the Year. Um, so that's gonna be

143
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: an incredible game September at M ANDT Bank Stadium that

144
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: the ending Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick the Homes Jackson

145
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: and the Baltimore Ravens. Oh, it's gonna be awesome. Whose

146
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: voice is that? Like? Who who's is? I don't know,

147
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: Like the is that the NFL films? Like the voice? Yes, yes,

148
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: that's it. You know, I'm glad that you don't voice

149
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: over those videos. It's just that sounded pretty good. I

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: don't know, but yeah, I mean, it's gonna be really exciting.

151
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: You got the to the two most recent MVPs and

152
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: it's probably a certainly the expectation is that could very

153
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: well be a preview of the a C Championship. And

154
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: it should have been the SC championship last year. Let's

155
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: be honest. Yeah, well no, it should have been. It's yeah,

156
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: the championship should have been ANT championship last year and

157
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: it certainly could be this year. So, um, I mean,

158
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna be an awesome game. Um let's back up.

159
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: Let's back up to one thing. I like Week one

160
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: at home against Cleveland for this reason, I think the

161
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: Browns are in a tough spot. I think the Browns

162
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: are better, see they were last year, but I think

163
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: they're in a tough spot because of the altered off

164
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: season with COVID nineteen. Like new coach, new head coach,

165
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: trying to instill a system, you know, new coordinate, new offense,

166
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and you don't have the off season.

167
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean you're starting potentially training camp could be the

168
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: start of it. So I just think getting them out

169
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: of the gates at home, I like that. Well, you know,

170
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: you're always worried about you generally, I feel like you

171
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: don't want the new first year head coach week one

172
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: because you don't have any tape on them, you know,

173
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: with those players with their new team. But hey, the Ravens,

174
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, now Miami was a different circumstance last year,

175
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: but didn't didn't have any problems with that with Brian

176
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: Flores in Miami last year and now Kevin Stefanski and

177
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: the Browns, like they obviously go back and watch a

178
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: lot of Stefanski's offense with Minnesota. Uh. But I just

179
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: think that the whole COVID nineteen thing is is a

180
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: real factor in that. Plus I love the idea of

181
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: Evan Stefanski spending all off season being like, all right,

182
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: what's what are they gonna do with Lamarin? Just it's

183
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: like me and my mock draft. He's gonna be going

184
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: back back and forth, tinker. Are they gonna come out

185
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: and pull in Miami Week one? Lamar is gonna throw

186
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: it all over the place. Are they're gonna go They're

187
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna go back to the run. They're gonna They're gonna

188
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: let Lamar run all over What are we gonna What's

189
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: gonna happen here? It's just gonna plague his nightmares. It's

190
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna be in his nightmares all summer. And I kind

191
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: of like the idea of that. Well, the other factor

192
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: there's if you if you come out and you deliver,

193
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: you beat them. It's nice to just go ahead and

194
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: take care of a division rival right out of the

195
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: gate and hand him a loss, especially a Brown's team

196
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: that you know last year, as I said at this

197
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: point last year, if the Browns started slow out of

198
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: the gate, then all of a sudden, it's you get

199
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: the whole narrative, same old team, all that stuff. You

200
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: get that not saying that that's gonna be the case

201
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: after one game. But but you just it's nice if

202
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: you can, if you can beat the Browns early and

203
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: put them behind the eight ball, I think that puts

204
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: you in really good position for the division. I'll tell

205
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: you what. I just I just like the way John

206
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Harball always prepare. Is this team for Week one two?

207
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: I think the Well, yeah, I agree with that. I mean,

208
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who they're going to play. I think

209
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I mean, you just look at a track record.

210
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: The Ravens have have been fantastic to open the season

211
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: throughout his tenure, and I think that's gonna be the

212
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: case again this year. Here's what I don't like at

213
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: the start of the season. As much as we just

214
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: talked about all the things we do like Brown's Texans Chiefs.

215
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Browns are a team that had this playoff aspirations. You know,

216
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: they were the Super Bowls, the trendy super Bowl pick

217
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: last year obviously didn't happen, but a ton of talent okay,

218
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: so that that talent is still there. Texans made the

219
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: playoffs last year, just hang Watson is a great player,

220
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs won the super Bowl last year.

221
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: So three straight games there that are by no. Means

222
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: a game really challenging three games open the open the season. Yeah. Yeah,

223
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna have a chance to make a

224
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: statement at the beginning of the season. I mean, you go,

225
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: you go three and o in there, you're feeling real good,

226
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: real good. But you know clips that obviously you start

227
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: out oh and three, it's you know, people are gonna

228
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: be sounding the alarm. Uh so, so yeah, it's it's

229
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a challenge at the start of the season.

230
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: I like, I like the Ravens chances. I always, I

231
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: mean I always like the Ravens chances, But I like

232
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: that the Ravens will, I think be the best prepared

233
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: team given the altered circumstances of this offseason. That's just

234
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: John Harball does such an excellent job of that. I

235
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: have total faith that he'll get this team ready, even

236
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: if it just starts in training camp. Um So, I

237
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: just I kind of like betting on the Ravens to

238
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: come out of this whole weird, wacky off season better

239
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: than there are challengers. Yeah yeah, yeah. I mean, look,

240
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: if you if you come out and you were to

241
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: start the season three no against those three teams, then

242
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: you're rolling. Yeah, I mean, holy moly. Yeah, then everybody's

243
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: then everybody's fast, size them up, everybody's back on the

244
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl train. Baby. I mean there's not many seasons,

245
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: not many seasons, the seasons. Not many seats available, alright,

246
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: already in the bandwagon. Ye, not many seats available. But

247
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: if you come out three and O, it's gonna be

248
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: a packed packed bus. Yeah, yeah, no question. Um, alright,

249
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: so from there then you go, you go Washington since

250
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles, Steelers Washington since back to back? Is I

251
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: mean based on schedule from last year? Nice, you have

252
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: the two teams who were the two to the two

253
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: worst records in the NFL. Um, so let's just say

254
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: it went poorly to start the season. You have a

255
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: chance to kind of get right there potentially. Again, we

256
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: gotta throw the potentially all this stuff out there, because, um,

257
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: you don't know what what teams look like from year

258
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: to year. Bengals are gonna be better with Joe Burrow,

259
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: Redskins are gonna better with Chase Chase Young. But those

260
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: are two teams who had the worst records last year.

261
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: So also got a little cushion there. Yeah, love the Ravens.

262
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if they request this vice is always

263
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: works out this way. I just love the mid season

264
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: by every year it's like week seven, eight or nine.

265
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: It just write smack dab in the middle, perfect spot. Yep,

266
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: I love it. After playing the Steelers physical game against

267
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers, he gets to rest up a little bit

268
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: kind of he'll heal those bruises, heal the wounds a

269
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: little right. Um So all right, Ryan, before we continue this,

270
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that everyone knows this season,

271
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: when you trade up to Ram Trucks, you're getting power,

272
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: luxury and technology like you never imagined. You don't get

273
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: to become the back to back motor trend truck of

274
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: the year for nothing. And with the Ram you can

275
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: get a lot of everything. Rear leg room, a reconfigurable

276
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: center console, it's all available now, plus a lot more storage.

277
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: Trade up to the RAM thirty and get four ten

278
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: standard horse power in a gas engine. Go to ram

279
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: dot com to find your local Ram dealer and hurry

280
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: in for great deals on Ram trucks, the back to

281
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: back motor trend truck at the year. Wait wait to

282
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: do the ad read during the bye that was well perfect,

283
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: well done, perfect spot. It's you know it's the it's

284
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: the midway point, just to keep rolling there. Um So

285
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: then after the bye you come out of that and

286
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: Colts Patriots both on the road, both on the road.

287
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: That's the first time you break the home away, home away,

288
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: home away Trent that's gone on since last year. Uh

289
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: So you got two straight road games. It's gonna be

290
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: a while there. You play the Steelers October UM at

291
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: MT BAG Stadium. You don't get another home game until November,

292
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: so almost a month away considering to buy. And then

293
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: the two road games. Yeah, but there's two games will

294
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: be interesting. I mean, here's the Colts team that has

295
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: a lot of talent and now brought in Philip Rivers

296
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: to kind of solve their quarterback issue. You know, when

297
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck had his surprise retirement the beginning last season,

298
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: that really threw them off the rails. But let's be honest,

299
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: the Colts for a team with Andrew Luck that everybody

300
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: looked at and said, well, they're definitely a playoff contender.

301
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: The question is how good is Philip Rivers at this point? Um?

302
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: You know the Ravens have played well against him recently.

303
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Um So it'll be interesting. The culture an interesting team.

304
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: That's that'll be a that'll be a tough game. Plus,

305
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: let's be honest, the Ravens have not played particularly well

306
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: in Indie over the years. It's been a house of harps,

307
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: so hopefully they can fix that. Then at Patriots. Now,

308
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: this game looks a whole lot different without the goat

309
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: the right there. Um, the Patriots are just so fascinating.

310
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like they're going with Jared Stidham

311
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: unless they get Cam Newton or something. Um, right, They're

312
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: They're a fascinating team. Didn't really added wide receiver like

313
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: everybody expected him to, lost some defensive pieces. I mean,

314
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: are the Patriots you know, at that point of the season,

315
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: midway through mid mid November, people are gonna know whether

316
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots are for real or not? Right, I mean,

317
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: it could be. It could be in one totally different

318
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: direction from usual matchups against the Patriots, Like they could

319
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: come in with a five record below. It'll be interesting. Yep, yep,

320
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: I completely agree, And I don't know that I necessarily

321
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: buy this, but there's been some speculation that, oh man,

322
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: maybe the Patriots are going to try to tank this

323
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: year and then they get um Trevor Lawrence from Clemson,

324
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: and so Belichick takes the year to tank and then

325
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: they get the top quarterback next year, and it's all

326
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: part of this plan. I don't know that I really

327
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: buy that, um, but I do think that, well, it's

328
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: gonna we will have a sense going into that game

329
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: what this Patriots team looks like. I'd be curious to

330
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: how many, you know, primetime games the Patriots get, because

331
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: typically they're right there at the top, But I don't

332
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: know if they're gonna get too many this year. Um,

333
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: And so that could be one of the few ones

334
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: that they have. So that's gonna be a very very

335
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: interesting game. Um. Talking about interesting games out of November,

336
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: we were we were wrong. On the podcast Sweet yesterday,

337
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: both of us said that we expected this to be

338
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: a primetime game. Yeah, yeah, I agree. I mean that's

339
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: just a fact, correct, Um. Thinking about it, thinking about

340
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: it more, I mean, it's a rivalry in like it's

341
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: like an old school rivalry to Ravens and Tennessee fans,

342
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: But nobody outside of Baltimore in Tennessee realizes that, like

343
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, and you have two

344
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: small market teams. It's not like the Titans are particularly

345
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: sexy team. It doesn't shock me now thinking about it

346
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: more that is. I mean it's a little bit surprising

347
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: it's not even four games at one o'clock or you know.

348
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: Now that could always change, of course, but it's just interesting.

349
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: The Titans historically or not a team that has a

350
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: national fan base. So I think when you're scheduling these

351
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: national prime time games, they certainly shade more towards either

352
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: the really exciting players like Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes

353
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: and teams that are really successful, more teams that have

354
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: the national audience Cowboys, Patriots obviously with Brady uh forty

355
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: nine Ers, Packers, Steelers, legacy teams. Yeah, so it doesn't

356
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: pretty shocked me. I guess. I mean it's going to

357
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: be the case, right. We nailed it now with I

358
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: was saying, I think Browns could certainly be a primetime game,

359
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: you know, Browns and Stealers. So it was really that

360
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the Browns kind of replaced the Titans, which doesn't surprise me.

361
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Brown's baker, I mean, they were like the

362
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: vogue team last year and there's still a really good team,

363
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be and it's a division game. I mean,

364
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a great, great game. So right, So

365
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: now that you were now in the week's twelve through

366
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: fourteen portions of the schedule, Steelers Thanksgiving Night, the Ravens

367
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: have played some great Thanksgiving Night games. I mean the

368
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: first one was the Hardball, the original Hardball Ball, which

369
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: was really exciting. Uh sact Alex Smith fifteen times that game. Yeah,

370
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: I think it was uh I think it was eight.

371
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: I think I think it was eleven or something like that,

372
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: something like it was something something crazy. I think it

373
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: was eight. Yeah, it was a ridiculous game. Um. But yeah,

374
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna be that's gonna be a fun one. Um.

375
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: And then you've got then one thing that's weird is

376
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: the back to back Thursday Night games. So you play

377
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh, but then you come home and you play

378
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: this Cowboys the next week on Thursday Night. That is

379
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 1: a weird you know, typically you have one Thursday Night

380
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: game and then it's kind of like a minibi after that.

381
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: That's not gonna be the case, at least between Thanksgiving

382
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: and December three. Yeah. Well, I mean here's the thing is,

383
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: it's tough on the front end, right because you play

384
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: the Titans to our physical team, Derrick Henry all that,

385
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: and then you have to turn around and play the Steelers,

386
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, four days later. Now, the Steelers, I guess

387
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: I haven't I don't know what their schedule is. We

388
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: don't get the heads up on their schedule. Um, so

389
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: so yeah, we don't know that. I certainly hope they

390
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: don't have a bye before that if they have a

391
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: week eleven by. The NFL tries to avoid, Yeah, they

392
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: try to avoid those types of things. Sometimes it happens,

393
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: but they do try to avoid like a short week

394
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: giving one team a clear advantage, right, So I don't

395
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: have any problem if US and the Stealers both have

396
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: a short week going into that Thanksgiving game, And now

397
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm okay, like whatever, you delay like the long bye

398
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: for a week. You know, you have the Cowboys the

399
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: following Thursday, and then and then you have an even

400
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: later basically like extra by. You know, you play December

401
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: three and then four. I'm okay with pushing that a

402
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: little bit later in the season, just to get geared

403
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: up for the final quarter of the final four games

404
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: this season. Like it's almost like you get kind of

405
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: two buys. Yeah, okay with that. The weird thing about

406
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: it too, is then you play the Browns after that

407
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football, So it's a it's an added

408
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: you get like an extra bonus there because after the

409
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: Thursday game, then the week is not really going to

410
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: gear up until the following Tuesday, you know, to get

411
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: geared up for that Browns game game, and then you're

412
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna be on a short week after that, um facing

413
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: the Jaguars on December. So well, wait, you know that's

414
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: that is gonna be a that is gonna be after

415
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: the bye. That stretch is fascinating. New England prime time,

416
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: Titans home not prime time, but obviously big physical game.

417
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: Then Steelers Thanksgiving, Cowboys prime time, Cleveland prime time. You're

418
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: playing in prime time four out of five weeks. You're

419
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: playing on Sunday one o'clock one of those weeks, you know,

420
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: three games not on a Sunday, three out of five

421
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: games in a row. Uh, So that is gonna be

422
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: really really interesting. Yeah, it is. I mean, and that

423
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: you talk about the beginning of the schedule, the first

424
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: three games being maybe the toughest portion. I don't know

425
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: what's tougher Brown's, Texans Chiefs to start, or you go Patriots, Titans, Steelers,

426
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys at brown right, I mean, the third quarter of

427
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: the schedule is is a that's a tough that's a

428
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: tough run. Like we said, we don't it remains be

429
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: seeing who the Patriots will be this year. Um but

430
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's the case for every team, but they're

431
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: them in particular. Um So. I mean, but even if

432
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: you're saying just tightened Steelers, Cowboys, Browns, that's a tough

433
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: stretch right there. I like. I like having kind of

434
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: that stretch in the third quarter of the season. I

435
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: just feel like that's when the Ravens are start hitting

436
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: their stride generally speaking, like they're a good November team.

437
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: Um So, I don't mind that. I like it. I

438
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: like it all right. Do you like Do you like

439
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: playing on Thanksgiving? I do? Actually, um I mean it

440
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: has obviously it's process of negatives. It's nice on a

441
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: typical Thanksgiving you get to hang out and watch the

442
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: games all day and and not not be gearing up

443
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: to go to a game game. Um but it is,

444
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: like I think it's kind of exciting to play. I

445
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: much prefer this. I much prefer Thanksgiving then when we

446
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: played on Christmas in Pittsburgh. Maybe that's just because of

447
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: how it ended, but um, but I much prefer Thanksgiving

448
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: versus Christmas. I kind of like playing on Thanksgiving. I

449
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: think it's cool. It's just like it's a football and

450
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is a classic. Uh. It's just like it's like

451
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: a classic American day and it is fun to have

452
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: to be part of that tradition. I think that, like

453
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: my from my own personal standpoint, if I'm just being like, oh,

454
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: I like to sit and watch other people play that game.

455
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: But when I think about it from a broad standpoint,

456
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: that like it's an awesome day for Ravens fans, I

457
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: think it's pretty cool. That's true. I personally don't like

458
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: it because I love Thanksgiving, my my favorite holiday. So

459
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: then we gotta gotta shuffle the plans. You gotta do

460
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: the Saturday Thanksgiving. Now Here's the thing is Thanksgiving. You know,

461
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: we don't know how long COVID's gonna last. Is it

462
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: going to be a social distancing Thanksgiving or not? Or

463
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: could that be like the Big Heralic you get the

464
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: family back together for the first real time. I don't know.

465
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, so I don't you know if it's

466
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: a social distancing Thanksgiving? Okay, I'll give this one up.

467
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: You're just You're just the tough thing there is. You

468
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: have to limit the number of beers and wine that

469
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: you're drinking uh on Thanksgiving. So the Steelers press box

470
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: better hook it up. I'm telling you. They better have

471
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: the turkey, the stuffing, the wine. Wasn't that your number

472
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: one overall picking her Thanksgiving? Drafting wine? I think it

473
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: was the wine. They better have stuffing, they better have

474
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie. Pittsburgh generally does it pretty nice, so I'll

475
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: put some faith in them, all right. So then to

476
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: finish the season you mentioned earlier, it's a little softer

477
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: to end again based on record last year. But you

478
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: have Jaguars, Jaguars, Giants, Bengals. Uh. Two of those games

479
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: are home, the Jacks and Giants are home, and then

480
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati to finish the season. Well, we of course

481
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: had to finish with Cincinnati. We got one year off

482
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: last year. But bring back to it, right back to

483
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: the old end with Cincinnati that they do almost every

484
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: single season. Yep, We're back to it. So so what

485
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: what what are we looking at here? Is this is

486
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: this fourteen and two, thirteen and three, sixteen and O

487
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: what do what do we think? All right? Well, you

488
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: want to you wanna play? You want to go? Are you?

489
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: Are you? You want to go right now? Alright? So alright,

490
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: so so sorry, let's just go for the through the

491
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: first three. You say two and one there, right, I

492
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: see two and one at worst? Right, two and one

493
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: it worst, yep. So then then you get Redskins Bengals.

494
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: That's that's two straight wins. So now you're looking at

495
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: four one, four and one Eagle Steelers. Oh that's two doves. Okay,

496
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: that's six and one, six and one. By going to

497
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: buy six and one, you're feeling great, great, great, great

498
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: come out of buy at Colts. That's a win. Now.

499
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: So now seven one at Patriots, not the sight and

500
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: one Titans match game revenge. That's that's the biggest check

501
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: mark I got. That's just revenge revenge. Game nine and

502
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: one at Steelers already gave us the the win. Um,

503
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: this is this is ten and one. Just sleep no, no,

504
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: this is the split on with the Steelers. This is

505
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: how you always play. This is how you play the game.

506
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: You all when you play the game, you always say

507
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: split with the Steelers. That's how the game works, right

508
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: nine and to cow nine home, Cowboys home back. You know,

509
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: after a loss, that's a win. Um at Brown's money.

510
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: Are we playing the split sees game with the Browns too,

511
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: Let's play the split sees game with the Browns. Let's

512
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: let's say splits. Let's get splits with the Browns. I

513
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I'll give it to you. Well,

514
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: be conservative. We'll say split with the Browns and then

515
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: contract with Giants Bangles win, win, win. So that's thirteen

516
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: and three at worst, that's at worst, that's at worst,

517
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: that's that's if a lot of things go wrong. I know.

518
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: Here's the best part is here's the best part to

519
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: all of our listeners out there. We play this game

520
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: every single week. After every game, we come back in

521
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: first thing in the lounge Onnday morning. All right, let's

522
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: go get the schedule out and and you know, of

523
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: course the previous days games always always, you know, affect things.

524
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: So we come off a loss, suddenly it's l L

525
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: L l L exactly if it's after if if it's

526
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: after a loss, it's all of a sudden, it's it

527
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: can take a dark turn. It can take a dark turn.

528
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: Thank god, we're not players. We would be the worst players. Man.

529
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: We just you know, we could terrible. We could go

530
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: through this and do it the negative way. But I'm

531
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: feeling too good, too positive. I don't I don't want to.

532
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to cloud it. I'm not doing that that.

533
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: This is the off season. You don't do that in

534
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: the off season. Yeah, that's only after It's only after

535
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: a loss. Yeah, exactly, it's only after a long Nick

536
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: Chobb run. That just rips your heart out and you say,

537
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: oh god, right right, But so what what what stretch

538
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: do you think? Like, what stretch concerns you the most?

539
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: You're talking about being a nervous Nellie at the top

540
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: of this thing. What what stretched the beginning or that

541
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: third quarter gives you? Yeah, I think the toughest is

542
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: that is that week ten through week fourteen stretch. Okay,

543
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: I still think that is the one that I'm I'm

544
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: most concerned, most nervous about. Um, because you've got you've

545
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: got four prime time games in a five week window,

546
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: and they're tough opponents, you know, and they're that that's

547
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: why they're on prime time. So UM and I still

548
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: I just also when I look at the start of

549
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: the season, like, obviously, the Chiefs just won the Super Bowl,

550
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: so um, they're pretty good. But I think that I

551
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: feel good about the Ravens beating the Browns and the Texans,

552
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: and I think that Chiefs games is gonna be a

553
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: really tough one. So I really do feel good about

554
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: them coming out of that that opening st wretch with

555
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: by going at least two and one, I think the

556
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: and like I said at the top, I'm confident the

557
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Ravens will be better prepared than their opponents at the

558
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: third of season. But that opening stretch still makes me

559
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: the most nervous, just because if you don't start well,

560
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: it's just really it's sour, you know what I mean,

561
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: like like that. Not that I think that could totally

562
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: derail the Ravens season, because I think they're just too

563
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: good a team for that, but it just that makes

564
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: me a little bit nervous. Like once you get into

565
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: the season and things start rolling, I'm very confident that

566
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens will be an awesome team, but you just

567
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: don't know at the start of the year. It's just

568
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: a little trickier. I mean, last year, the Ravens play

569
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: their worst football in weeks three and four, and then

570
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: they rattled off twelve straight wings exactly in November. Yeah,

571
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: so even if you have some pickups early, last year's

572
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: team obviously showed that that you can overcome that. So

573
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: I know that there's been some questions from fans about

574
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: what the season looks like and all that, so I

575
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: just want to let people know. Obviously we're currently expecting

576
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: and planning to play a full game a full season.

577
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: That's why the schedules released. However, there is a refund policy,

578
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: so if a game is canceled, it can't be replayed

579
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: or is played under conditions that keep fans from attending.

580
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: So here's how it's gonna work. For tickets that are

581
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: purchased directly from the clubs from us UM, which is

582
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: basically season tickets or group ticket sales, UM buyers will

583
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: have the option of a full refund for the ticket

584
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: for the purchase price and the associated fees, or they

585
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: could apply that amount to a future purchase through the team.

586
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: So then also if you buy single game tickets through

587
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: other licensed channels like Ticketmasters, seat Geek, or stub hub. Uh,

588
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: here are the policies for that. For Ticketmaster, you get

589
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: automatic refund provided for all the primary and secondary sales

590
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: within thirty days of cancelation. For seat Geek, the refund

591
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: is provided upon request for all primary and secondary sales

592
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: within thirty days of a cancelation. UH. For secondary sales,

593
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: vouchers initially offered unless the consumer request a refund, and

594
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: then for stub Hub there's no refunds unless required by law.

595
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: The credit issued. The credit that will be issued is

596
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: a d and of the original order, so the credit

597
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: expires in two and can be used for any future

598
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: stub Hub purchases. So the ticket buyer must call sub

599
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: hub and directly request uh a refund. So those just

600
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: to give you a quick synopsis there of what the

601
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: refund policy is. Again, obviously we're hoping um and planning

602
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: to have a full schedule, but just wanted to share

603
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: that information in case fans were curious about that. I'm

604
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: sorry you put me to sleep. Snore it over here,

605
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, just a quick synopsis, thanks, Gar. I

606
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: will say on that note, one other thing that stuck

607
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: out to me about the schedule is that it's just

608
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: it's a normal schedule, you know, like I saw I

609
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: just happen to click into somebody's like I want to

610
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: predict the schedule this year, you know, And and they

611
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: had they had lined up all the out of conference

612
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: games in the first four weeks, thinking that maybe the league,

613
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: because of of coronavirus, would put those out of conference

614
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: games first in case there's a truncated season, which we

615
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: haven't heard anything about that. There's nothing. That's just speculation

616
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: on that person's part. But like then you see the

617
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: schedule and it just looks like every other year, and

618
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: so it just kind of gives you that nice, warm,

619
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: fuzzy feeling that like business as usual, you know, like

620
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: that we're gonna we're gonna be watching some football, and

621
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great feeling, right right. If you've

622
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: been reading scouting reports, you know that Ram Trucks will

623

632
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: that's our take on the schedule. Like I said, thirteen

633
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 1: and three at worst is what we're predicting. Um, and

634
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: it should be. It should be really a really, really

635
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: fun year. We're looking forward to it. So wait, don't

636
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: close it out yet. Can I say one more things?

637
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: You always got one more thing to say. I always

638
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: have ten more things to say. Can we just sit

639
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: back and just say, the Ravens have a ridiculously good

640
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: scene this year. I mean, bring on this schedule. It's

641
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: it's the Ravens have the easiest once again in air quotes,

642
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: strength of schedule this year in the NFL. Yeah, yeah,

643
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: go ahead. Well, the the funny thing about that is

644
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: part of the reason that their schedule is easier is

645
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: because the Ravens have a fourteen and two records, so

646
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: they don't play themselves and so they're almost like a

647
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: victim of their own successful man they got the Bengals

648
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: got a much easier, much tougher uh strength of schedule. Well,

649
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: that's because they play the Ravens who won fourteen games

650
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: last year. The Ravens can't play themselves, so that is

651
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: part of the equation on that. Yes, it jukes the

652
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: stats a little bit. I completely agree. And the Bengals

653
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: were two and fourteen on the opposite side of that,

654
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't think the Bengals are gonna

655
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: go go to and fourteen again. Right, you got them

656
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: twice so like so I understand that. But you also

657
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: have the NFC East, which struggled last year. Uh you

658
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: know the Cowboys one or the Eagles one division at

659
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: nine and seven. Cowboys went eight and eight, and then

660
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins and the Giants were two of the

661
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: worst teams in football. Now, I think that vision will

662
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: probably be better. You know, they have three new head coaches,

663
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: which we've already talked about the challenge of new head

664
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: coaches this year. So I don't I don't know how

665
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: much better the NFC East will be. It might not

666
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: be tons better, but anyway it might. Point is, the

667
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: Ravens have a ridiculously good team. They had a ridiculously

668
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: good team last year and they've gotten I think, significantly better. Right.

669
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: The only downgrade has been at Mars Marshal Yonda's right

670
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: guard spot. M hm. The defensive line is head and

671
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: shoulders better. Inside linebacker head and shoulders better. You're the same.

672
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: You're better at cornerback because you get Tavon Young back,

673
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: one of the best, one of the better slat corners

674
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You're the same as safety. You have

675
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 1: just as many playmakers minus Hayden Hurst. Okay, I'll throw

676
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: that out there, but I think you're a better at

677
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver, like I mean, you better, You're better. You're

678
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: better at running back with Tom You're better at running back.

679
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: Now we have Bronson reck Maister, what's right, maister? Wasn't Steer?

680
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: Thank you? Yes, all right? Now we got Bronson reck

681
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: Steiner reckon people. So, I mean, this team is gonna

682
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: be ridiculously good. I just I cannot wait. I feel

696
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: from Broward County, Florida, played college ball at Utah, but

697
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: before that, he beat Lamar Jackson in a highly anticipated

698
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: Divisional championship showdown back in the two thousand fourteen and

699
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: he bested him. He beat them elirty eight thirty six.

700
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: I think it was the final score. So uh, I
