Actually you 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: don't have a trip to fannat because if people go 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: back a couple episodes and then they remember our Thanksgiving draft, 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: you didn't have any turkey.

Yeah, we're gonna get to the football, 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: but we gotta take care of first things first. This 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: is all business here, and uh we guess we always 24 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: get great emails. They're still coming in a lot of them. 25 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: The email is the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: I love. This one is from Jacob Blums and he says, hey, guys, 27 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: let's tell you. I will tell you whose house I 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: want to be for Thanksgiving and assuring Ryan or Mix 29 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: it's a good thing you got alcohol in the draft 30 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: because maybe people will be drunk enough to forget that meal. Yikes. Yes, 31 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: Jacob summed it up pretty well. Just real quick summary 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: on what we ended up with our draft. All right, 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: I had turkey stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad, and pumpkin pie. 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: You and perhaps the world's worst Thanksgiving meal. Draft ended 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: up with alcohol, dinner rolls, sweet potato, castrole green beans, 36 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: and cranberry sauce. Eat up, folks. So here I have 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: an email too. Were two to your email. This one's 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: from Simon Bourgeois. He says, I'm from Canada, so we 39 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: don't celebrate thanks to me. Great email to pick I'm 40 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: gonna lean on the guy who doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving anyway. Continue, 41 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: but I found your draft pretty funny, and I gotta 42 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: say that I may be the only one, but I 43 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: have to side with Ryan here. I wouldn't have a 44 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: dry Thanksgiving meal. Picking second put you in a bad 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: position where you had to choose between alcohol and turkey. 46 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: But you made the right pick on that one. I'll 47 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: give you one thing. I will say that. I will 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: say something about drinking. You know what, Simon, It's correct 49 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: on is he says, I may be the only one, 50 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: and that might be the only one because and I 51 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: will also say this, I'll let listeners into a little 52 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, give them a snapshot into your psyche here, folks, 53 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: Ryan admitted in between he said, at some point over 54 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: the last week, he said, I'll never admit it on 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: the podcast, but I kind of screwed up that. So 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: just have that. Take that with you and do with 57 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: it what you want. My uncle did try to enforce 58 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: my Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving night at the at the house, 59 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: well done at my aunt's house and uncle's house. Yeah, 60 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: but I will say I did have some sort there 61 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: you go, I'll admit that. So moving on to more 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: important things, Um, maybe you got the better the better 63 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: of the thanks suing draft, but I got the better 64 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: of you and fantasy football. So maybe you're gonna pick 65 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: fat boy. But I'm better at picking football players, and 66 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: that's really what matters, because guess what, Garrett, we work 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: for a football team. I don't know if you know that, 68 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: but Randy Minks, my fantasy football team beat the better 69 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: staff writer. Horrible name for your team, terrible name on 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: six to ninety two this weekend. What do you have 71 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: to say for yourself? I've said it on this podcast before. 72 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: I don't really even enjoy fantasy football. I don't. Did 73 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: I even set my lineup? I don't. I don't worry 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: about it. It's not I don't enjoy good at it. 75 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: I don't enjoy. Yeah, you you don't enjoy it because 76 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: you lose constantly enjoy it. I've been to the championship, 77 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: and I'd ask what you've been to. How many people 78 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills of Fantasy football zero get to the 79 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl can't win it. You've been playing in this 80 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: league a lot longer than I have, and you and 81 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: I have the same number of championships, which is a 82 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: big old goose egg. So we're in the same we're 83 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: in equal territory there. But I bragging rights this week, 84 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: all right, So let's get to talk in real football here. 85 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: Raven's coming off a big nineteen fourteen win over Cincinnati Bengals, 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: moving into six and five, back in first place in 87 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: the NFC North tide with the Steelers side newe. I 88 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: hate the whole of tiebreaker. Tiebreaker doesn't matter because they're 89 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: going to play the Steelers again, So whatever you start 90 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: figuring out tiebreakers when there's five games left, right, irrelevant? Yeah, exactly. 91 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: But anyway, big win. Justin Tucker really the story of 92 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: the game. Three fifty plus yard field goals, four on 93 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: the day and all. And so I think we just 94 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: need to stop and take talk about Justin Tucker a 95 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: little bit, a little moment of appreciation you for Justin. 96 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: What makes Tucker so good? Well, I think that he's 97 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: got a huge leg, so that certainly helps. I mean, 98 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: he's gotta he's got a boot, that's obvious. But I 99 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: think that his his psyche and his attitude are a 100 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: huge part of it. I Mean, he one thing that 101 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: people sometimes talk about how kickers and the specialists kind 102 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: of hang off on on their own that they're sort 103 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: of like in their own corner of the locker room. 104 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: They don't necessarily find themselves in the mix with the 105 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: rest of the locker room because they're they're just different guys, 106 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: are different creatures. A lot of the other players don't 107 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: look at them like real football players. Yeah, they're kind 108 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: of like half football players. They sort of like get 109 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: halfway let in the club, how half breads or whatever. 110 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: But but but Tucker is sort of the exception to 111 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: that rule. He is right there in the thick of it. 112 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 1: He'll be in there talking trash with Terrell Suggs or 113 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: um anybody else in the locker room. I think that's 114 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: kind of funny. Where why Sugs and Flaccos some of 115 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: the other guys after the game, they were like, I 116 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: don't want to give Tucket Tucker anymore credit because they 117 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: just know that this guy is going to rub it 118 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: in their face and that he's supremely confident, and he's 119 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: been that way since he got here. I think there's 120 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: something to be said for that that he he talked 121 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: about at the game. He wants the pressure, he wants 122 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: the game on his shoulders, all those kinds of things, 123 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: and I think that that is part of the big 124 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: reason that he's the best kicker in the league. And 125 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: I think it has confidence is a big part of it, 126 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: but it goes beyond that. I think it's having fun. 127 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: And I talked to Sam Cook after the game, and 128 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: that's one thing that he brought up is that you 129 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: kind of as specialists and kickers in particular, they can 130 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: get in their own head, right, and you get so 131 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: focused on on the importance of every kick and the 132 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: mechanics and all that stuff, and you forget that you're 133 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: playing football for a living and it's fun. This is 134 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: the game that you played as a kid. And Tucker 135 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: is a guy that's never forgotten how to have fun. 136 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: That's for one thing's for sure about Tucker, Uh. And 137 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: I think that really helps him. I mean, here's the 138 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: guy who before he attempted that fifty seven yard kick 139 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: bent over and Sam Cook heard him whisper, this is 140 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: going to be a legendary. I mean, that's you know, 141 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: speaks to the confidence and having fun. I mean this guy, Uh, 142 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: I think he kicks just so he can celebrate and 143 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: dance afterwards. So I think that also plays into it. 144 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: You know, he's not his uptight like like Billy Kundiff was, 145 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, Billy was just an uptight dude, uh, 146 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: and Tucker is the complete up. I think the other thing, too, 147 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: is that I think that sometimes there's different kinds of people, 148 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: some that that thrive in the spotlight and really want 149 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: the pressure, and some who don't want to be anywhere 150 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: near that kind of moment. And Tucker is somebody that 151 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: absolutely wants the pressure. I mean, there's not a lot 152 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: of kickers in the league that would run out there 153 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: on the field and basically bark over the head coach 154 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: to say we're kicking this or you're dragging me off 155 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: the field, especially when he's got a thirty one at 156 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: that point, like what thirty one straight kicks? Yeah, streak 157 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: is on the line and you're running out there for 158 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: fifty seven yard exactly. And there's been a few other 159 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: times and over the course of his career that he's 160 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: done something similar. That was maybe the most apparent one 161 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: that I've seen in a long time, but he's he 162 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: does that from time to time. So I think that 163 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: like that, he wants that moment, he wants that pressure, 164 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: and he's been in every kind of situation that you 165 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: can imagine. He's kicked a game winning the Super Bowl, 166 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: he had that huge kick in Denver, the game winner 167 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: in Denver that season a terrible weather. I mean, those 168 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: are not easy kicks. He's done it since the time 169 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: that he got here, and he wants the big moment 170 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: and he thrives in it. How much of this has 171 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: to do with being the first ever guests on the 172 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: podcast he kicked off? He kicked off the lounge. He 173 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: was the original podcast Bump. If I was going to 174 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: put her percentage on it, I'm gonna go in the nine. 175 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: All right. I'll give Tucker. I'll give Tucker of what 176 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: he's accomplished, but I think you and I are taking 177 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: the other eighty five. Absolutely absolutely, we're kind of cuts 178 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: from the same cloth as Tucker here. So that leaves, 179 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: by the way, I love that whenever we pitched the 180 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: podcast to anybody and they they're him and hall on 181 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: about whether they're gonna come on or not, we like 182 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: to bring up the fact, you know, justin Tucker hasn't 183 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: missed a kick since he did the podcast. It's true 184 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: the podcast Bump is alive and well helps give Flacco here, 185 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: So there true, which that's a little tease podcast bump 186 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: for Elvis Duerville. He kind of got the pre moment. 187 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: He knew it was on the horizon exactly, he knew 188 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: we were talking to him, we were negotiations to bring 189 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: him on, and came up with a big sack strip, 190 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: hell of a return for doing. I'm so happy for 191 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: that guy. But that leads us talking about Tucker into 192 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: story time, which let's go back to when he did 193 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: first come to the Ravens. Won't do this quickly because 194 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: we don't want to, you know, get Tucker's heads right exactly, 195 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: So when he first came to the Ravens and he's 196 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: in a battle with Billy Condiff for the job, and 197 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: I think, what's what's interesting about this looking back on 198 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: that time, is that what largely one Tucker the job 199 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: is what is making him the best kicker in the 200 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: NFL right now, and that's making a lot of kicks 201 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: and deep kicks because I specifically remember, you know, in 202 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: training camp, oftentimes you'll Tuckers now has done it with himself, 203 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: competed with himself, and he'll us backing up, backing up, 204 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: backing up another Tan, backing up another Tan, whatever, and 205 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: he was doing that against Billy Condiff, and the rookie 206 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: would just he just looked back. He'd like hit like 207 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: a fifty yard or look at Billy and saying all right, yeah, 208 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: big boy, Yeah, Okay. Then Billy would hit a fifty 209 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: because let's not forget Billy kind of had a very 210 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: strong training. He was really good. Then Tucker moved back 211 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: fifty five yards nail it up. I mean, it just 212 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: kept going on like that, and Tucker just couldn't miss. 213 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: And I think that that's, uh, that's what really sold 214 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: the Ravens. That's when the Ravens kind of fell in 215 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: love with Justin Tuckers seeing that cockiness, and it obviously 216 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: has Yeah, I think it goes back to the confidence 217 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: thing and they wanting to pressure because literally from the 218 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: time he got here, he was an undrafted kicker who 219 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: can kind of came here on a whim, you know. 220 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: Obviously there was the whole history of Billy Connor's last 221 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: miss and all that stuff. He wasn't even signed originally 222 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: as undrafted free agent. He was a rookie tryout guy, 223 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: I know, and so he had to earn his way 224 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: onto this team. Literally from the time that he got here, 225 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: and there could have been any at any point during 226 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: training camp when you're a undrafted rookie kicker, they can say, hey, thanks, 227 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: we're going to give that nineties spot on the roster 228 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: to somebody else. And he was fighting for a spot 229 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: and that confidence and shining in the pressure moments has 230 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: helped him. Will he go down as the best kicker 231 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: Raven's history, better than Stupart? We gotta get mass Ober 232 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: on the couch here and ask him that question, bring 233 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: him on off season guests. I mean, Tucker still got 234 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: a long way to go, obviously, Yeah, stuff, Tucker's gotta 235 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: keep doing it. He's gotta keep time ago. I mean, 236 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: that's what Siber has. Stiber had longevity. But if Tucker 237 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: keeps doing what he's done, then it's gonna be Tucker. 238 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: He's the second most accurate kicker in the NFL. Second, Yeah, 239 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: behind Dan Bailey. Still yeah, those guys go back and 240 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: forth him. Yeah. So anyway, moving on to other non 241 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: Tucker topics here, the offense. We love him talk about 242 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: the offense already here. Uh you know, I've I've come 243 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: down on Joe Flacco pretty hard in recent podcast, straight 244 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: to his face. You weren't man enough enough? Right, what's 245 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: wrong with you? I was anyway, You're winning the whole 246 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: time you asked that question. On the offense, do you 247 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: do you think that do you see improvement? I guess 248 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: from the offense just still kind of plotting. Yeah, it's 249 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: it's not arrived by any means when you're leaning on 250 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: your The reason we're talking so much about Justin Tuckers 251 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: because he's booting fifty yard or seriously, that's a sign 252 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: that your offense isn't exactly a okay. But I have 253 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: seen improvement. I thought the offensive line had one of 254 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: its best games of the year. Um. I thought that 255 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: the running backs we we you and I were talking 256 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: to the press box. We see why the coaches were 257 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: so excited about Kenneth Dixon all summer before we got hurt. 258 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: You know, he looks really really strong, and I think 259 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: that they're gonna kind of stick with this one too poinch, 260 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: but he's pushing to get more like s the carries 261 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: with the way that he's played. Um So, Yeah, and 262 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: I like the no huddle. I think Joe Flacker likes 263 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: the no huddle. They use that for pretty much the 264 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: entire game. They got out of it a little bit 265 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: in the second half, but they opened that game that way, 266 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: march right down the field. So over the past couple 267 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: of weeks, I have seen signs of improvement. Flacco, I 268 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: think has been sharper. He had the interception with that's 269 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: the deflected past, kind of a tough break situation. So 270 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: I think that the offense is moving in the right direction, 271 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: but they still have to Nineteen points is not gonna 272 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: get it done against the Patriots. Nineteen points probably is 273 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: not gonna get it done against the Steelers on Christmas Day. 274 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: You need to have more from your offense. And Joe, 275 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: to his credit, so that himself after the game, you 276 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: know this is not gonna work if we want to 277 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: be the team you want to The defense can win 278 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: you a lot of games this year, but it's it's 279 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: not gonna win you every game, especially when you get 280 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,599 Speaker 1: in if the Ravens getting the playoffs against some of 281 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: those teams, you're probably gonna have to score more points. Uh. 282 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,599 Speaker 1: What I like from the offense is that something that 283 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: Joe talked about, that short passing game is starting to 284 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: come together a little bit, uh, and that is key. 285 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: You have to get the easy ones and then that'll 286 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: I think open up some of the deep balls. You 287 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: see flashes from Perryman. I mean, if you made that 288 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: diving catch on the long bomb, Yeah, that was a 289 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: tremendous play. That would have been ridiculous. So I think 290 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: they need to get him involved a little bit more. 291 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: Let's not forget Mike Wallace and Steve Smith really didn't 292 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: do a whole lot in this game, and they still 293 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: looked pretty decent in the passing game offensively. I think 294 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: Darren Waller Staw has room to grow. Uh. Pitta is 295 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: a question mark to me, whether you know is he improving. 296 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: He's said that he feels the same as before the 297 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: hip injury. I don't know that anything's going to change 298 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: with the ross to him. But the run game, I 299 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: think is can get better because the Kenneth Dixon. I 300 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: think it will get better and uh, and I think 301 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: Joe can get sharper from here on out if that's 302 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: short passing game continues. Yes, isn't it crazy? By the way, 303 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: you mentioned the one pick off the deflective pass. Ravens 304 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: deflected like five passes on the last drive. Don't pick 305 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: off a single one, can't get to any of them 306 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: one FLECTI pass they pick at all. It was weird. 307 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen so many deflective passes. 308 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: It was like they were throwing up against They had 309 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: tennis rackets out there. Seriously, defensive lineman, it's pretty incredible, 310 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: like the Kem Matombo. It really was defensive line. I'm 311 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: giving you the fingerwag a few times a right if 312 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: we go out and giving me a if you go 313 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: out and get on the basketball court, there's gonna be 314 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: one person that's do a whole lot of finger wagon? 315 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: Is this guy right here? I do have a tough shot. 316 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: Probably I have a tough time getting the shot up 317 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: on gets you? That's true? You do? You do? So? 318 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: Are the Ravens good enough to make the playoffs? I 319 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: think that's the question mark. Are they are they? When 320 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: you watch them? Do you say, yeah, you know what, 321 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: there's a playoff team, or do you say that more 322 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: when you watch the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's easier to say 323 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: that about the Steelers because they have like the sexy 324 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: playmakers and they put up more points. Defense really isn't 325 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: that good. Pittsburgh's defense really isn't all that good? Um. 326 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: But I absolutely think that the Ravens can be a 327 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: playoff team. I mean, I think that they have the 328 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: looks of a playoff team. Um in a lot of ways. 329 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: They have the defense. They have maybe the best special 330 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: teams unit in the league and maybe the best defense 331 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: in the league. So okay, check both of those boxes. 332 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: They don't have the best offense in the league, but 333 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: as we just talked about, I think the offense is improving. 334 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: And let's look around the league. Get the playoff teams 335 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: right now if the season end today. I know you 336 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: love this scenario the Miami Dolphins at all. I'm sarcastic here. 337 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins are a playoff team. Well, I think 338 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: that the Ravens their favorite to beat the Dolphins this week. 339 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: So those are two teams that are right in that 340 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: playoff conversation. I think that the Ravens that have a 341 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: really good game against the Chiefs. Uh, I think they 342 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: have a really good game again, Sobroncos, they already really came, 343 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: you know, within inches of about ten yards of having 344 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: a good shot to beat the Oakland Raiders. They had 345 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: the they had the Giants on the ropes in that game. 346 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: When I think one thing that you can say about 347 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: this team too, is that it will play up to 348 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: its competition plays down to its competition at times you 349 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: can't put it. Didn't put away the Bengals, the only 350 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: thing right lost. The Jets should have beat the Redskins 351 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: for sure, played down to them in that game. Even 352 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: though the Redskins have turned into a pretty good team, 353 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: they weren't on that day. They were not that great. Um. 354 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: But I think that the Ravens will play up to 355 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: If it's playing up to the Dolphins, I'm not so sure. 356 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: I think they will give in New England a run 357 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: for the money. And I like the Ravens going into 358 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and we've both said it, and I think it's 359 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: still the case. The playoff trip is probably gonna ride 360 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: on that game against the Pittsburgh Steelers weeks sixteen. I 361 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: like the Ravens in that game. Uh So, I think 362 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: that even though it's it's easy to watch the Ravens 363 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: and be like, man, another ugly win, I don't think 364 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: that there they don't look like a playoff team. You know, 365 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: these other teams look so much better. You're not watching 366 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: those teams. Well that's a single week, Yeah, there's a 367 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: lot of medocrity in the NFL. There's like two or 368 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: three teams. I mean, everyone was talking about how the 369 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: Seahawks like the greatest team after beating the Patriots, and 370 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: the well they put up two points or five boys yesterday, 371 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, like they were terrible. Uh So, I absolutely 372 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: think that the Ravens can be a playoff team. And 373 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: I I hesitate to compare things to the Super Bowl 374 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: season because then all of a sudden that you're saying 375 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: that the Raveins are gonna win the super Bowl. But 376 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean, at this point during the Super Bowl season 377 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: or later in that year, the Ravens lost three straight games, 378 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: we got crushed by the Broncos, and nobody at that 379 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: time was saying, uh man, this looks like a really 380 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: good playoff team. People were saying this team that they're 381 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: probably gonna make the playoffs, but they're not really gonna 382 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: make much noise once they get there. They had to 383 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: get by Tom Brady, they had to get by Peyton Manning. 384 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: No one was really on the Ravens bandwagon. So you know, 385 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: my my point is that you just have to get there. 386 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: And if the Ravens, and I've said it here, many 387 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: time serve you. I think that the avenue for the 388 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: Ravens to get to the postseason is gonna be by 389 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: winning the n f C North. I think nine and 390 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: seven is probably gonna do it. And if that happens, 391 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: they have a home playoff game, and I think they 392 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: probably will be favored if that plays itself out, and 393 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: that in that home playoff game. The funny thing is, 394 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: they're not out of the wild card chase, as much 395 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: as we've all made it seem. We've all said they 396 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: have to win division. They have to win division. They're 397 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: not out of it. But I don't think they're gonna 398 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: win the wild card. I just think it's gonna be 399 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: too far out of reach. At the end of the day. 400 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: The f C West is gonna beat up on each 401 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: other down the stretch here they already are. That could happen, 402 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: and then maybe you have a team at ten and 403 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: six and then there's some tiebreakers they get it done. 404 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: You think you think each wild card team is gonna 405 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: be ten and six. I think there is a pretty 406 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: good chance for that. Really interesting, So what do you 407 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: think in the Miami Dolphins? Do you think this is win? 408 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: How good do they they've won six straight games. They 409 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: look pretty good on paper here. I think that this 410 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: is a favorable matchup for the Ravens. I mean, you know, 411 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: like it's a they have to come up here playing 412 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: cold weather. Note not be practicing in cold weather. Uh. 413 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: They don't have any really great wins. I know they've 414 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: rattled off sixth straight, but it's not like they've been 415 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: like going down Murderers Row and taking down the Cowboys 416 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: and the Patriots and either I definitely butchered that last name. 417 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: I think he's pretty good. I think he's pretty good, 418 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: but I like it seem kind of like the Cowboys. 419 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: To me, it's like the Cowboys. You know, you had 420 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: to stop the run game. It was run defense first 421 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: run game. Uh. If the Ravens stop and put the 422 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: game on Tannehill in their passing game, I don't think 423 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: that passing game is quite as good as the Cowboys. 424 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad. They have Jarvis Landry outside 425 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: and in Tavante Parker, and I don't think Tannehill is 426 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: a bad quarterback by any means. And I don't think 427 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,239 Speaker 1: he's elite quarterback. Uh, but he I think he can 428 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: get the job done. But I don't think there's good 429 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: a passing offense. They don't scare me as much as 430 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, I think the different the difference. The 431 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: main thing that you're pointing out is when the Cowboys, 432 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: when it gets kind of thrown into Dak Prescott's hands, 433 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: he has Dez Bryant Jason went in to throw too. 434 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't feel that same sense of um. I don't 435 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: think they have anywhere near as much explosiveness on the 436 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: Dolphins side of the ball. And I think the Ravens, 437 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: as we've seen, they can stop the run, especially when 438 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: it's a team that wants to establish the run. When 439 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: it's you know, when it's a team that wants to 440 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: establish a run versus Ravens whose first priorities to stop 441 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: the run. Nine point five times out of ten, the 442 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: Ravens win that battle in terms of stopping the run. 443 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: And I think that that's going to be the difference. 444 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be able to do that once 445 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: again this week. And then I think that, you know, 446 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: then then you have to get some plays in the secondary. 447 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: You know, you can take off the chest, that's true, 448 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: gotta have Jimmy Smithbeck Jimmy Smith didn't play against the 449 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense in that passing game, So you get Jimmy 450 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: Smith back against the Dolphins. I think that makes a 451 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: big difference. But anyway, thank you so much for listening everybody. 452 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: We will be back later this week with Elvis Dumville, 453 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: so make sure you tune in for that.
