1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge, presented by DraftKings. It's a size

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: them up Monday, after the Ravens scored a thirteen to

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: three win over the Carolina Panthers. Four straight wins for

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens and they're still in first place in the

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: AFC North. It wasn't a pretty victory, but it was

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: kind of like you, Garrett, you know, you're not you're

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: not that good looking, but you get the job done.

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not sure if I agree with that.

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm more like the I'm like the fifty

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: to nothing kind of win, the you're the beautiful Yeah,

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: come on now, Uh look, I think all wins in

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: the NFL are beautiful thing. Um. And and that's I

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: think probably the feeling that the Ravens have today. And

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: you're you're right, it wasn't one of those games that

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, that's booked. The hotel in Arizona nonrefundable. Uh,

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it had that kind of unrefundable day.

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: This is the this is the like yellow the moderate

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: cancelation policy by today. Yeah, you're like just to make sure,

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: like what is the policy here? How far out? But

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: but like, I do think that at the end of

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: the day, that doesn't really matter, like the rate. You

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: always say it like, you can win, you can win pretty,

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: you can win ugly. It all it matters is to

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: win and so kind of a just one of those

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: games that you just have to get the dub by.

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: And I think also part of it is like the

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: expectation going into the game coming off the by Panthers

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: are a team that you know, I have one of

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: the worst records in the league. You're thinking it's the

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: You're thinking it's the three touchdown, you know, victory, you

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: know where you're you're you're relaxing in the fourth quarter

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: with the feed up, and that just wasn't the case. Um,

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: But honestly, look around the NFL yesterday, Uh, there weren't

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: many games like that, a lot of low scoring games

35
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: and you know, some good teams had some real challenges.

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: So all that matters, you know, is a win obviously

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: first and foremost. Now we'll kind of break down some

38
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: of the nuance components here and get into all of it. Yeah,

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think that the Panthers are I do

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: think they're a better team than kind of some of

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the stats suggest. You know, they've been They beat the

42
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Buccaneers twenty one to three. A few weeks ago. They

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: were coming off a twenty five fifteen win over the Falcons,

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: who were in first place I think in the AFC

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: or NFC South. Um, you know, they they also played

46
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons pretty tight before that, thirty seven to thirty four. So, like,

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: I think they're they're kind of on an upward trajectory,

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: and they have a really good defensive front. Like, they

49
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: have a really good front seven. They got their best

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: defensive player and one of their best defense players in

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: Jeremy Chin, the safety back. Um, you know, I think

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: their defense is pretty legit. And uh, the Ravens offense

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: obviously had a slog. You know, they had a tough

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: day and they just kind of had to lean on

55
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: the defense and uh, and that's what they did, and

56
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: this defense rose the occasion. I mean, it really kind

57
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: of reminded me after the game. I mean we heard

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: that going into the game, the goal for a lot

59
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: of defensive players was shutout goose segem right that their

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: offense is hurt, and they traded Christi McAffrey, Baker mayfields

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: under center. Let's goose segem and that kind of shows

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: you how confident this defense is feeling right now and

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: then at halftime, and this really reminds me of, you know,

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl defense back in the day. It's like,

65
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: if they don't score, they don't win. Right, It's like,

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: we don't care what the offer give us. Give us

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: seven points, fine, give us seven and we'll win. Right.

68
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: Like that reminds me of some of the attitude at

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: least that those defense had. And I'm not ready to

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: sit here and say, you know, this defense is compared

71
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: to the greatest of all time, but like they feel,

72
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the feeling in that locker room is we can be

73
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: an elite defense, and that kind of confidence when you're

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: playing that way, I'll tell you, I think that that

75
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: can really kind of roll into some momentum. You're the

76
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: king of the Monday morning hyperbole. But this is that

77
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the Super Bowl defense, I'm saying

78
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying that the attitude is same. I that I

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: agree that that that the story of the halftime, if

80
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, if they don't score, they don't win, um,

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: was reminiscent of something you would hear from that two

82
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: thousand defense. You know they're working on the thirty for

83
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: thirty right now. I'm going to guess that that mentality

84
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: creeps into that documentary when that comes out, exactly. And

85
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: and let's be honest, like the Ravens are gonna face

86
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: better offenses down the road, right and when they get

87
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, if Slash win, they get to the playoffs.

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: You know, as good as this defense is, I don't

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: think you're gonna be limiting you know, Patrick Mahomes and

90
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs or Josh Auton and the Bills to three.

91
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: As good as this defense is, I just don't see

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: that happen, right And but like I think this defense

93
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: is good enough right now, Like when you look ahead

94
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: at the Ravens schedule, they're gonna have some more shots

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: that shutouts. I think. Yeah, Look, I think if I

96
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: just take a kind of a step back and look

97
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: at the big picture view of what my takeaway from

98
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: from yesterday's game, I think, in large measure it kind

99
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: of solidified or was an indication of how I feel

100
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: about this team as a whole. And here's what I

101
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: mean by that. I think this defense has elite potential

102
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: like you're talking about, and I think that they are

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: that confidence is growing with that group. The ability of

104
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: the group is growing as they get more players back,

105
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: as you insert Roquan Smith, as you have David Aajabo

106
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: on the horizon, and you have Tis Bowser not playing

107
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: in another game, you have Marcus Williams on the horizon.

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: So they're growing confidence, there's growing ability, and I just

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: think that they're also kind of building the now they

110
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: have more than half a season in Mike McDonald's defense,

111
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: and that was the transition. You know. I think there's

112
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: some subtle scheme things. I mean, it's not a total overhaul,

113
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: but there's adjustments and how they play more zone versus

114
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: all the blitzing that Wink used to do, So that's

115
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: an adjustment. And so I just think that this defense

116
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: feels like it's in a really good spot. And I

117
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: think yesterday was an example of that. Honestly, like just

118
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: from a fan perspective, there was never really a point

119
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: in the game and I was like, oh boy, they're

120
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna lose this, They're gonna blow it. There's I never

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: really felt that way because I just never felt like

122
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: Carolina was going to be able to put together, you know,

123
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: a fifteen play touchdown driving you know, you just you

124
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: Basically we're hoping that like, okay, there's not like a

125
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: guy slips and they get the big play, Like you're

126
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: just hoping that that doesn't happen. But I never really

127
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: felt like that, all right. So then going back to

128
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: my original point and then on offense, like I think

129
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: that this offense can be really good. Um, but I

130
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: think that, like the concern with the offense is what

131
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: do you do when a team takes away the run?

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: It makes it really tough? Are we are we gonna?

133
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Are we going down the offensive road here? You want

134
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: to start? You know, I'm saying all over the map,

135
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm saying the big picture, the big this

136
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: This game confirmed that confirmed, but I think it was

137
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: an indication of just how I feel about where this

138
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: team is overall right now. So I covered the defense

139
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: and then offensively, I think that, like, this offense could

140
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: be really good, and we've seen that at times, but

141
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: I think that there are going to be teams and

142
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: defenses that try to say, you know what, we're taking

143
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: away the run, we're taking away that read option, and

144
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to make the Ravens beat us through

145
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: the air. We're gonna put a ton of guys the

146
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: line scrammage, and what does the CounterPunch of the Ravens

147
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: have in that situation? So I do think the Ravens

148
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: offense will play better in games than they did yesterday.

149
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: But I think that yesterday was an indication of really

150
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: good defense. And then what does the offense is CounterPunch

151
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: when someone commits to just taking away that run game? Yeah,

152
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: I agree with all that, all right, So let's let's

153
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: kind of dig in on the defense a little bit,

154
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you it's hard to highlight one player

155
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: because kind of everywhere you had guys with really good games, right,

156
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, well, well, let's just start up front. I

157
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: mean John Harball in his postgame presser was like, dang,

158
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, in that postgame speech, I kind of regret

159
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: not giving them the defensive line a game ball, right.

160
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the Panthers rushing attack came in. Don to

161
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: Foreman was running the ball really well and they were

162
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: having a lot of success on the ground. He ran

163
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the ball eleven times for twenty four yards. I mean,

164
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: shut them down up front as a defensive line. That

165
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: was really impressive. And then the biggest thing obviously was

166
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: the takeaways, right. I mean to me that that is

167
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: the takeaways and the pass rush really is like the

168
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: past couple of years, let's say even I mean last

169
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: year the defense was just kind of bad across the

170
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: board with the injuries and they're just not good. Right.

171
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: The past defense was the worst in the league all that,

172
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,119
Speaker 1: but even the Ravens have had good defenses, but they

173
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: they just didn't take the ball away right, and they

174
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: didn't get splash plays. And to me, one of my

175
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: takeaways was, you know, if you're gonna win in this

176
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: league defensively, you're gonna have You're gonna have teams potent offenses,

177
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: like I mentioned the Patrick mahomes is and all those

178
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: teams that you know what Layton games, they're just gonna

179
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: mount drives, right, and it's hard to like just get

180
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: a stop and close out a game. We saw that

181
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: early in the season, right, Teams kept coming back on

182
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens when they had ten point leads, right, And

183
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: it's really hard to maintain leads in the NFL with

184
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: these past happy offenses when they spread out and they're

185
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: like we got four downs, let's go, right, and what

186
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: you need in those situations is you need a splash play,

187
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: you need a momentum changer, and we're seeing that the

188
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: Ravens defense has that. I mean nineteen takeaways now this season.

189
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: They had fifteen all of last year. The Ravens have

190
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: the second most takeaways in the league this season. And

191
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: so you know, you see Marlon Humphrey, you get an interception,

192
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters ripping that ball out on Shy Smith. That

193
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: was the play of the game really, and then Jason

194
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: Pierre Paul gets an interception. Those are the plays that

195
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: close out games and win games. And you're seeing that

196
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: the defense has that ability totally. And it's when you

197
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: have like it like it's just when you have a

198
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: defense that can get takeaways, it just takes it. Like

199
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: you can have a great defense, you can have a

200
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: really great defense, but it's just hard in the NFL

201
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: to stop teams for an entire game. It just it

202
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: just is exactly like so like if it's good, you

203
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: can have this great defense, but if you don't take

204
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: the ball away, like there's there's a cat, there's a

205
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: ceiling on that group. And when you're taking the ball away,

206
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: that can mask deficiencies that you can have you can

207
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: have a so so defense, but if you're taking the

208
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: ball away, well, hey, you know, that can put you

209
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: in a really good position. I think the Ravens are

210
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: building towards both. I really do um And that's like

211
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: something that like a lot of these defensive players are saying,

212
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, Marlon Humphrey said going into the game, like

213
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: they felt like the Saines game was kind of the

214
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: first game this year where they really were like, Okay,

215
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: we're starting to look like the Ravens defense starting to

216
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: feel like that again. And then this was just building

217
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: off of that. And you mentioned the whole the conversation

218
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: around wanting to put up the shutouts, so they're moving

219
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: in that direction. They really should have a defensive touchdown.

220
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: The rest, you know, kind of blew the play. Did

221
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: that Marlin would have picked up and scooped and scored

222
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, So they should have had us that

223
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: offensive touchdown should have gone to the defense, really right,

224
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: So I think there's a couple of reasons, Like so

225
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: it's like, why are they getting more turnovers? One reason

226
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: is you have your most of your best players on

227
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: the field. Marcus Williams, who's probably second best ball hawk

228
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: behind Marcus Peters has missed most of the season, but

229
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: you know he got three yearly in the year before

230
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: getting getting hurt, So that's part of it. You have Marcus,

231
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: you have Marlin, you have the pass rushers up front,

232
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: So I think that that's part of the equation. The

233
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: other thing, too, is like with Mike's defense, I just

234
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: think that like that is allowing them to get some

235
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: of these takeaways. Yeah, Like they're playing and that's what

236
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: a lot of players point to, Like at a simple level,

237
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: they play a little bit more zone than they did

238
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: with Wink, and when you play that type of defense,

239
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: you can find yourself and such if you're playing it well,

240
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: and everyone has to feel like that's the important thing

241
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: with that zone coverage. You need to have feel for

242
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: who's gonna behind you, who's gonna be in front of you,

243
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: and kind of that trust, the trust that Patrick Queen

244
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: was talking about, like you have to really the communication

245
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: has to be on point, the trust has to be

246
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: on point all that and as that's building, I think

247
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: you're seeing these guys feel like they have that trust,

248
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: that communication, that feel, and that's putting them in position

249
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: to come up with some more takeaways. Yep. Yeah. And

250
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: then it's the pass rush too. I mean it goes

251
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: hand in hand, right, And so you're seeing now four

252
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: sacks yesterday, different guys getting in on it. Patrick Queen,

253
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, getting a half a sack, Justin Houston continues

254
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: his Roquan Smith got a sack, Jason pr Paul Clais Campbell,

255
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys, I mean across the board.

256
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: You look at it. Clarias Campbell now has more sacks

257
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: than he's had in any year with Ravens already. Right,

258
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: you have Patrick Queen is having a career year, right,

259
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: He's really kind of blossoming in front of our eyes,

260
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: and this whole year three breakout prediction is coming true.

261
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: To spend a little time talking about p Q, Yeah, yeah,

262
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, let's do it. I mean, dude had twelve

263
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: twelve tackles, half sack, tackle for loss. I mean just

264
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: all over the field. You know, we were all so

265
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: excited and justifiably so, and pumping up Roquan in the

266
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: addition of Roquan and what that does this defense, and

267
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: that's that's all justified that, you know, but don't let

268
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: it overshadow what Patrick Queen has been doing. Because the

269
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: dude's playing like his hair's on fire. I mean, this

270
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: is by definitely the best ball that he's playing in

271
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: his Yeah, and I think that, you know, going back

272
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: to his rookie season, he had some of those splash

273
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: plays like he had, you know, some of the turnovers

274
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: and so, but this is the most complete that he's played.

275
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: And yesterday, hey, like he just was all over the field.

276
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: He was in the backfield, he was chasing guy's sideline,

277
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: the sideline, and it seems like, you know, when the

278
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: Ravens make the trade for Roquan Smith, and you know,

279
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: there's conversation, Okay, well, this is clearly a sign maybe

280
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens aren't you know, they're not totally happy. It's

281
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: an indictment on Patrick not totally happy with Patrick Queen

282
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: and Patrick Queen when he talks to his credit, you know,

283
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: a couple of days after the trade, you know, he

284
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: says to reporters, yeah, you know, I saw some people

285
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: think saying that I was going to take it a

286
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: certain kind of way, but like, I couldn't be happier

287
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: about this trade. Like I am fired up because now

288
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: we have two of the best inside linebackers in the

289
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: league next to each other. It's like, okay, so that's

290
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: his mentality about this, Like this isn't this is not

291
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: a negative on me. This is basically, you put one

292
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: of the best players in the league at this position

293
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: next to me, look out, and Patrick Queen has been right.

294
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been playing like one of the best

295
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: linebackers in the game over the past two weeks, and

296
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: his game has gone to another level. Like what do

297
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: you think is it? Like, is it too simple to

298
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: say the addition of Roquan has kind of unlocked the

299
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: full potential of Patrick Queen. Uh, yeah, I do. I do.

300
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean I think that Patrick Queen was already kind

301
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: of ascending up before Roquan arrived. I thought that he

302
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: played well in the Bucks game, yeah, you know, before

303
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: Roquan got here. And I think that he has kind

304
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: of individually just improved as a player. And you know,

305
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: there are a couple rough patches early on this year,

306
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: and we've seen that year last year too. He got

307
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of got off to a slow start and then

308
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: got some momentum and really kind of took off of

309
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: the you know, mid point to halfway through the year.

310
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: And I think we saw you know, a little bit

311
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: of that early this year. But then no, I don't

312
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: think it's as simple as just oh well Roquan as

313
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: as unlocked Patrick Quin. I think that's certainly helped, but

314
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: Pekugh's done it on his own too. Yeah, no, I

315
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: agree with you. I do think that adding you know,

316
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: you put the Roquan Smith next year, it's gonna help

317
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of like for sure, you know it's it's it's

318
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: kind of like, um, when you have a great offensive linement.

319
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: We have Marshall Yonda at right guard. He kind of

320
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: makes a center and the right tackle look better. And

321
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: I think that that is part of what's going on

322
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: with with Queen and Roquan. I also think that, like

323
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: the they just pairs so well together, Like there was

324
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: a play in yesterday's game where Roquan basically reads it perfectly,

325
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: gets into the backfield, kind of blows it up, and

326
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: then Queen comes through to clean up, to clean it

327
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: up and finish the tackle on Foreman. It just was like, okay,

328
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: this is what you expect. Like Roquan basically made the

329
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: play and then Queen was sort of the cherry on

330
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: top just to finish it off. And like there's those

331
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: are the types of game just consistent plays that I

332
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: think with this, with this pairing in the middle of

333
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: the defense, that we're going to see more and more

334
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: of um and I just well, it makes me, It

335
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: makes me say, can we afford to keep both of

336
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: these guys long term? That's obviously my takeaway is like

337
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: I felt after one game and meeting Roquan and just

338
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: the kind of guy is like, he just seems to

339
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: be like a Raven for life is what he he

340
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: honestly like feels like that. And I'm like, man, can

341
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: we sign this guy to a contact a contract extension yesterday?

342
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: Right now? Well, I'm yeah, yeah, and now and pay

343
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: Pek is playing, It's like, man, is there anyway that

344
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: we can keep these guys together for years to come?

345
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: Like that would be awesome. I mean, I'm gonna enjoy

346
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: what we have right now because who knows, but I

347
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: will say that, like I mean, Quans, I think the

348
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: biggest question obviously, and that he's a creation. After the season,

349
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: we'll see, uh. I think I'm optimistic though, I mean,

350
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: Peq still has next year and then potentially fifth year

351
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: option if the Ravens picked that up, So like you

352
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: could at least have maybe two more years of it

353
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: and then who knows um, but the biggest domino there

354
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: is keeping Roquan Smith very fast. That we're getting into

355
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: off season talk, but it's just like watching these two

356
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 1: work together, it's it reminds me of you know, some

357
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: of the dominant like linebacker jewel Oh pull up two

358
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: thousand raves defense and now this is what Scott or

359
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: where are you going? I'm more I'm more like thinking

360
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: like the forty nine Ers, you know, like they have

361
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Willison Navaraman and like those two guys next week

362
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: each other made that forty nine Ers defense Philpy and

363
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of that. Yeah, not saying

364
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: like I don't know those guys as players well enough

365
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: to say that these guys compare like that, but just

366
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: having two inside linebackers of this caliber next to each

367
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: other just elevates the defense so much. And Eric Cosa

368
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: saw it, he saw it when he made the deal,

369
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: and it's it's coming to fruition. Also, both those guys

370
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: played every snap on the defense percent, so wor Quan

371
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: you know, first game, what played about sixty five percent? Okay,

372
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: now second game you're playing every snap the rest of

373
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: the way exactly and exactly, and it's gonna be the

374
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: two of them out there um together. Yep. Well, and

375
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: so let's talk the cornerbacks play also, I mean Marcus Peters,

376
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: like you mentioned the strip, let's Marlin Humphrey and my

377
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: guy Clift wrote this on Saturday. But I do think

378
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: this is the best year in coverage that Marlin Humphrey

379
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: has ever had. It's it's tough to say, you know,

380
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen Marlow was pretty awesome, getting like all the

381
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: force fumbles and all that stuff, the fruit punch, you know,

382
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: but if we're just talking coverage, Marlin is dominating, dominating,

383
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: and now getting his third pick of the year, which

384
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: ties his career high. I think also from twenty nineteen,

385
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: I mean really really good cornerback play. Dj Moore was

386
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: totally handcuffed three for twenty four for Dj Moore, one

387
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: of the top receivers in the league, who all Ravens

388
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: fans wanted us to trade four exactly. And so you know,

389
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: the way that they're playing coverage wise right now is

390
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: pretty spectacular. Now, you do get concerned about the injury

391
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: to Kyle Hamilton. You know, he goes down with a

392
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: knee injury in the first half and rate win. Kind

393
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: of he was starting to blossom and find his groove

394
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: in this defense as kind of that nickel corner. He

395
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: goes down and that hurts. But you know, I I

396
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: thought that, um, I thought that Stevens stepped up and

397
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: played pretty well Brandon Stevens. So hopefully it doesn't seem

398
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: like Kyle Hamilton's knee injury is a major one. It

399
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: doesn't seem too bad, especially considering you as ruled questionable

400
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: to the return. You know, usually if it's serious, it's

401
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: either you're ruled out immediately or doubtful questionable. And you know,

402
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: we saw him in the postgame locker room video and

403
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: the speech in street clothes and whatever. He wasn't in

404
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: the training room at that point, so I'll take you

405
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, totally. The fingers crossed and John Harba

406
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: didn't have an update after the game on him. And

407
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: sometimes if it's serious, you know it at that point

408
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: and the Hill just say, yeah, that's a serious one.

409
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: So I mean this it's we don't have the all clear,

410
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: but we also don't have you know, the worst case scenario,

411
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go Glass half hole for the time being,

412
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: and see what John Harbaugh says a little bit later

413
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: today if he provides any kind of update on that front. Right,

414
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: let's get to do an email here as all as

415
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: you can email us at the lounge at Ravens dot

416
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: NFL dot net. Kyle emailed and said, I had a

417
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: busy day yesterday, so there was little time for celebration

418
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: and more time for Christmas decorating. Well, Kyle, well done

419
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: early early on the decorations, but well done even before

420
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: Thanks you, Evan. I'm down with like the weekend after Thanksgiving,

421
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: that's a natural time. But before all right, it's each

422
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: his own. That's all that needs to be said. From

423
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: this game. It's a w. Also, defense wins championship, So

424
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of a the attitude here, Like,

425
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, this isn't a game that you're going to

426
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: tell your kids. I was at that game. I was

427
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: at the game between the Ravens and the Panthers at

428
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: mc bake Stadium on November twentieth, twenty twenty two. Like,

429
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: that's not one that you save for the memory books.

430
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: But it's a win, and I think that that is

431
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: kind of that Kyle's attitude kind of encapsulate that. Also,

432
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: we want our listeners to know that the sports landscape

Speaker 1: time talking mostly about the defense here, but let's talk

456
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: a little offense because this was not, you know, a

457
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: great offensive showing. It was kind of a slog for

458
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: most of the day. Yeah, what was your what did

459
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: you make of what we saw offensively yesterday? Well, I

460
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: think kind of to your point earlier, this was what

461
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: we've all talked about, is you know, especially over the

462
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: past three games, the Ravens had kind of run over opponents, right,

463
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: And it left you saying, well, what happens when they

464
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: aren't running over opponents? Right? Like when that formula it

465
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: gets tested, what's the Ravens CounterPunch? And I think they

466
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: struggled in a way. No, it was they had they

467
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: had some answers. Like it wasn't like they were just

468
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: like three and outing all the time. Like they moved,

469
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: they moved the ball and some drives, but then they

470
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: also shot themselves in the foot in key scoring situations, right,

471
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: And so you know, Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson had his

472
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: most efficient day as a passer. It wasn't like he

473
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: put up huge yards, but he went twenty four or

474
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: thirty three completely, twenty four passes right for two hundred

475
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: and nine yards. It's just like they weren't really taking

476
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: shots down the field. It was kind of dink and

477
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: dunk and and hit along the sidelines, you know, hitting

478
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: these kind of ten yard outs to Marcus Robinson. And

479
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: so the Ravens, they especially in the first half, ran

480
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: into a wall. They had to rely on Lamar and

481
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: the passing game, and they hit some plays. It's just

482
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: you know, the red zone offense has been kind of

483
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: hot and cold all year. It's been like at some

484
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: points has been very hot and other it's going through

485
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: stretches where it's been ica cold. And you saw just

486
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: a combination of penalties and negative plays and sacks and

487
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: and things like that take them out of scoring range

488
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: or forced them to kick field goals when they otherwise

489
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: could have had touchdowns. And so you know, if you're

490
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: going to play this kind of offensive ball, which I

491
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: think the Ravens are going to down the stretch like

492
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: Rashad Baby and coming back as the weather gets colder,

493
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't think this passing offense is suddenly going to

494
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: catch fire, right, like they're going to be a team

495
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: that runs the ball a lot. The run's gonna set

496
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: up the pass, and you know, if you're gonna play

497
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: that way, you're gonna have to capitalize on scoring opportunities

498
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: more than they did last week. And you can't make

499
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: that many mistakes as they did against the Panthers. That's

500
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: just the facts of the situation. Yeah, this email from

501
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: John is kind of along those lines or defense teams

502
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: to becoming more elite each week, or offense is just

503
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: treading water though injuries aside. I think the offense as

504
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: a whole needs to step up and find an identity

505
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: asap or we'll be one and done in the playoffs.

506
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: What do you think we need to do on offense

507
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: besides get healthy to get into a rhythm so we

508
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: don't have another nail biter like we did against the Panthers. Well,

509
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: I think that the Ravens have their offensive identity. I don't.

510
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's like we don't know what

511
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: we want to be. I think they know what they

512
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: want to be. They want to be a team that

513
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: runs the ball really efficiently. They find themselves and you know,

514
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: second and short, third and short they're gonna be a

515
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: restive offensively when it comes to fourth down decisions. Um,

516
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: they are gonna feed Mark Andrews. He's gonna get a

517
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: ton of action. Um. And then that they're gonna hit

518
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: some you know that they're gonna use their receivers and

519
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: kind of sprinkle them in. I don't think any of

520
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: these receivers are gonna be going over a thousand yards

521
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: this year. Um, And they're not gonna be. You know,

522
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson had one hundred and twenty six yesterday. That's

523
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: probably like, that's probably about as much as you're gonna

524
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: see out of any of the receivers. I don't see

525
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: any two hundred yard games from the receivers down the stretch.

526
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: And so that's kind of what the identity of the

527
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: offense is. You're right. I mean they did, they move

528
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: the ball. They had some key penalties like that that

529
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: stretched there. They're moving the ball, they get down in

530
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: the red zone. Then there's the face mask on Morgan Moses.

531
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: Then the next play is Brian Burns around the edge

532
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: for the sack on Lamar where Ronnie Stanley gets hurt.

533
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: It's like wait, wait wait. And also the play that

534
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: Moses got the face mask on wiped away a first

535
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: down where been like first down from a seven after

536
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: a pass out to Justice Hill. So instead of first

537
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: in goal, you're looking at punting. With Ronnie Stanley coming

538
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: off the field hurt, it was like what just happened?

539
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: What has happened here? And so like you got to

540
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: avoid some penalties in those situations. I've talked about it

541
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: on the these you know, all throughout the year. Situationally,

542
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: you need you need to be really good when you're

543
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: a team that's like it moves the ball kind of

544
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: methodically rather than just like the big plays. It is

545
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: more from methodical offense than like, you know, a quick

546
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: strip was missing from the early part of the year.

547
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they were hitting big plays with Bateman, even

548
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: du Rene, and the big playability has really shriveled. Yeah,

549
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: and they're not really even taking shots. You know, I

550
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: thought there were there were a couple opportunities maybe for

551
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: some shots over the top, and the Ravens kind of

552
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, they passed on them, and so, uh, you know,

553
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: du Rene has gotten one target, the top speed threat

554
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: on the team has gotten one target the past two weeks.

555
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: And so I do think they need to continue to

556
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: work to get Devin Dubne the ball more, you know,

557
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: in just more creative ways. He had one carry also,

558
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think DeMarcus Robinson right now

559
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: is operating his wide receiver war and it's not even close.

560
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: He's getting the most targets and it's not even close.

561
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean nine targets and the only other wide receiver

562
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: who caught a ball was Duberne and he had one. Yeah, right,

563
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: And so I think DeMarcus Robinson deserves his flowers. I mean,

564
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: stepped up and played a really good game. The chemistry

565
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: that he's showing with Lamar Jackson on that kind of

566
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: ten yard out that they need to have, especially if

567
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: the defense is crowding the middle of the field to

568
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: take away the running game and try to limit Mark Andrews.

569
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: If they're going to crowd the middle, picking apart those edges,

570
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,719
Speaker 1: you know, the sideline is really important and they showed that. So, like,

571
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to minimize that, but they need more.

572
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: They still need more out of this passing game to

573
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 1: really to really uh you know, I think achieve what

574
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: they want to achieve. Yeah, I'm with you on that,

575
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: and I think just as a whole, you know, with

576
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: this offense, like I think they're gonna be able to

577
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: run the ball in most situations. They're able to run

578
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: the ball on teams. Yeah right, let's not forget they

579
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: didn't have Gus. Yeah they still don't have like Gus

580
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: coming back being that hammer up the middle will make

581
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: a big difference. And then JK eventually at some point,

582
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what he are. And some fronts

583
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: are better than others, Like the Carolina has a pretty

584
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: good defensive front, so like that makes it tough to

585
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: run the ball, but not every team has a great

586
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, has a great defensive front. So that's part

587
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: of it as well, you know the other thing too,

588
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: And I have no idea, no one uses as any

589
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: kind of excuse, Like I don't know, just as a whole,

590
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: Like it was the first cold weather game in uh

591
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: that the Ravens that play this year, and like you

592
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: look around the league and there's like a lot of

593
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: low scoring games. I have no idea if that had

594
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: any impact, but like that just just kind of is

595
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: interesting to me, Like first cold weather game wasn't as sharp.

596
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if that had any bearing, but I

597
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: think that I'm not totally ruling that out as part

598
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: of the reason that it was just a little sloppy

599
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: on offense, yea and more of a slog. I thought

600
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: that the return of Mark Andrews was very much needed.

601
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: You know, we're all there was chatter before the game, oh,

602
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, do you let Mark rest again? You know,

603
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: the long term approach, and they needed him. I mean

604
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: the way that this offense was kind of operating six

605
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: for sixty three on Mark and the very first, very

606
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: first offensive play of the game goes to Mark Andrews

607
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: and he drags the entire Carolina Panthers defense, and you know,

608
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: so it's good to see him back on the field.

609
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: I think he's only going to get stronger and continue

610
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: to make more plays. But you know, like I said,

611
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: I think they need they need to get Duverne more opportunities.

612
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson. He hoped that he gets healthy because I

613
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: think they need that too. They need that speed threat.

614
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: At least that's at least a threat. It's a stretch

615
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: the field, and I thought, you know, it was not

616
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: he didn't have much action in New Orleans, but I

617
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: thought that DeShawn Jackson looked pretty good in his limited actions,

618
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: so getting him back on the field would be important

619
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: for this passing offense. I think what he does is

620
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: just he kind of forces the safeties to take a

621
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: step back, like he has that big playability that you Okay,

622
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: let's just bring somebody over the top here to make

623
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: sure that he's not beating us down the field for

624
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: fifty yards. And that is like a very valuable thing.

625
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: Even if it's just like a hesitation from those safeties

626
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: to keep them from coming up in the box, I

627
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: think there's value there. Now. Jackson only played a handful

628
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: of snaps, you know, fifteen or so snaps against New Orleans,

629
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: and he hasn't practiced since that game. There's obviously a

630
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: bye week in there, so you know, he's dealing with

631
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: a hamstring issue. You hope that that gets resolved quickly,

632
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: but as you know, a hamstring issue, and he had

633
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: a history of those, so we'll see when he's back. Yeah,

634
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: And you know, like we said, I think the Panthers

635
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: also just played a pretty good defensive game. I think

636
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: they're a pretty good defense. They're pretty good defense, I agree,

637
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: And they got their best defensive play one of their

638
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: best defensive players in Jeremy Chin back on the field.

639
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: Jac Horn played a good game and dun you know

640
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: how I was talking highly talk smack. We saw they

641
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: were a little dust up with Dover to day. I

642
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: was like, a yeah. And also Brian Burns, Like you know,

643
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't watch a ton of Panthers games, but like

644
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: you know, when when there was to talk of at

645
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: the trade deadline do they trade Brian Burns and they

646
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: wanted to first for them, I'm like, two, First, well,

647
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: I saw it, man, that guy is that guy has

648
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: some serious speed around the edge. And you know, we

649
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: saw it on the play where he got to Lamar

650
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: in the backfield and ended up, you know, falling into

651
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Stanley, right, and you're just you're not going to

652
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: see many days where Lamar Jackson has eleven carries and

653
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: it only goes for thirty one from now, like a

654
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: two point eight average for Lamar Jackson is a is

655
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: a weird day. And uh you know, now you had

656
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: a long one near the end of the game that

657
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: would have again set him up for a possible touchdown

658
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: to put you know, make it more outsided. They got

659
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: called back on a holding penalty. Um, but you know,

660
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: I just think that it was it was an off

661
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: day for the offense. I do think that they need

662
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: to get better if they're gonna beat the best teams,

663
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: like they're gonna need to put up more than thirteen

664
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: points generally speaking, to beat the Chiefs, to beat the Bills,

665
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: to beat the Dolphins. And but I think they can

666
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: get better. Uh, they just need to play more efficiently.

667
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Like I'm not I'm not panicking about this offense, but

668
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm I have you know, with baby and ain't come back,

669
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: and so they need to be able to run the

670
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: ball well they need to and uh, they gotta they

671
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: gotta be more efficient in the passing attack than they

672
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 1: shared yesterday for sure. Yeah. And look, the Ravens are

673
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: gonna be favorites for a lot of these games down

674
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: the stretch. They're gonna be favored this week again against

675
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, So they have time to figure that stuff out.

676
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: But exactly, but exactly, they played. They played a winning game.

677
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: It was it was good enough for the Panthers. Yep.

678
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: And the way this defense is playing, that's complimentary football.

679
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: And I'll take good absolutely. So we'll have a guest.

680
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: We're working on a guest to have later this week,
