1
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan Mink

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: here at Garrett Downing, and it has been a very

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: busy day. You woke up this morn and Garrett saying, ah, right,

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: eight o'clock schedules coming out, and then we got the

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: news of a contract extension with Dereck Henry, so little

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: appetizer on NFL schedule release day, we are going to

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: give you our reaction to the full schedule as well

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: as hold our travel draft, which I know a lot

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: of listeners are waiting for. But before we get to that,

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: we have to break down this Derick Henry contract extension.

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 2: I think it's a rule that Erics Costa has that

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: big moves happened when there's also other really busy things

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: that are taking place. The ultimate was when he signed

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: the contract extension with Lamar Jackson on draft Day, and

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: so this one isn't quite to that level, but it

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: added a little wrinkle into the afternoon plans here and

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: so it's exciting, I mean, like, in all seriousness, this

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: is one that Eric has talked about a couple of

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: times over the course of the offseason and mentioned the

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: possibility of getting a deal done with with Derek. But

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: sometimes you never know if like is that ultimately going

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: to come to fruition or not. But I just think

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: that Derek came in here his first season, it was

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: we all had high expectations. He surpassed my expectations.

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but both he passed everybody expectation. I think everybody

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: here in his front office, fans, teammates, media, everybody.

27
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: On and off the field. Everybody was like, this guy's unbelievable.

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: And then like he gets on the field and he

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: does things that like he's all right, Like he's a

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame running back and he's.

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 3: Still playing at that level.

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: And so he was a difference maker for the offense,

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: a huge reason why the Ravens had one of the

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: best offenses, uh, the NFL has ever seen, and he

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: was a driver of that. So for him, he gets

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: a rewarded pay day, Auch, a much deserved payday.

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he earned it. He came in here, he earned

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: a pay increase, he did, and he gets it.

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: Like he was one of the best running backs him

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: a sake one Barkley both came out there this season

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: after signing with new teams, had monster seasons.

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: Both of them this offseason get pay bumps.

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Yep, deservedly so Yep, yeah, exactly so. Reportedly, it's a

44
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: two year, thirty million dollar deal, so averaging fifteen million

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: dollars per season, which puts him third in the pecking

46
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: order in terms of per year salary, behind Saquon Barkley,

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: who is the new leader, and then also behind the

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: forty nine ers Christian McCaffrey. But it's a record setting

49
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: contract according to ESPN's Adam Schefter for a running back

50
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: thirty years or above. Derrick Henry turned thirty one in January,

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: and so this is to a degree the Ravens are

52
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: betting on he can keep up this pace. Yeah right,

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good bet considering what we saw.

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, you know, must have the found of youth

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: in his backyard, because it's incredible. I honestly think he's

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: just a rare athlete, a rare human being that I

57
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: honestly didn't see even a little bit of tread on

58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: the tires. It looks like he just bought these things,

59
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: you know. So like, I think that that's a fair

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: bet by the Ravens and and honestly, it keeps this

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: nucleus offensively together for another two years and for the

62
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: for Eric to cost in the Ravens. Really it's just

63
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: keeping that window open. How long can you keep that

64
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: window open with Lamar Jackson where you have a chance

65
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: every year to win a Super Bowl and seeing what

66
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of partnership Lamar and Derrick Henry had and how

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: just they were a nightmare for opposing defenses. To have

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: those two guys together through the twenty twenty seven season,

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: to me, along with the other offense pieces like Zay

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Flowers and these some of these offensive Ronnie.

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: Stanley right, twenty seven season exactly three year contract exactly.

72
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully you get a deal done with Tyler lindermaum, you

73
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: know you get Zay Flowers can be here for a

74
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: while longer, all these guys, like the super Bowl window

75
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: is wide open.

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, going back, I want to go back to the

77
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: point you made about Derrick Henry and basically him in

78
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: the Fountain of Youth, and I think that, like the

79
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: truth is that it's not hard to figure out why

80
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: he's been able to be productive at the latter stages

81
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: of his career. Just look at the way that he

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: works his regiment Like it's not hard to figure out how,

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: but it's really.

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: Hard to do that.

85
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: Hey, a special person, just genetically a freak of nature.

86
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: And then when you stack on top of that the

87
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: work that he puts on, Yeah, you know, the work

88
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: that he does every off season that we've seen it

89
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: this offseason, the viral videos of him dragon sleds, running

90
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: up hills and stuff like that.

91
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: I mean, guy just never stops.

92
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: And it's not like it's not just like for Instagram likes,

93
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: it's it's just that's just how he's wired.

94
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: Just that's just part of who he is.

95
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: And like, when you look at players in different sports

96
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: who've been able to play into like the back nine

97
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: of their careers and play a really high light. Of

98
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: course you think of Tom Brady who was able to

99
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: do that. Lebron James was another example, and like these

100
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: guys who have been able to do that are historically,

101
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: but like they take care of their body to a

102
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: level that like nobody else does. And again it's it's

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: not hard to figure out why they've been successful, but

104
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: it's hard to do it. Like it's hard to do

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: that work that Derek Henry puts it in the offseason.

106
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: And when teammates look at what he eats and they're like,

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: this guy eats like, you know, spinach and avocado all day.

108
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: Like that's sale for reckfaste, Like it's hard to do that.

109
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: Like Marlon Humphrey goes over to Derek Henry's house and

110
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: is like, there's no junk food here.

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: What's going on with this? Like that's just who he is.

112
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: And so I think that it's a good bet to

113
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: make that he's going to continue to be really productive

114
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: and it's exciting for the Ravens to get this deal done.

115
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

116
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: I mean, Derrick Henry average a career high five point

117
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry last season, and everybody when the

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: Ravens first signed him said, man, that Derrick Henry Lamar

119
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Jackson combination's going to be something else, and it was

120
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: even better than advertising.

121
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: And he just he continued to get better all year.

122
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing, Like it's not like the Steelers

123
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: game dominated the Steelers playoff game, right, and then had

124
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: another eighty six yards in a touchdown in Buffalo too.

125
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: So when you think about the Ravens needed to get

126
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: over that hump beat those teams late in the year

127
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: and in the playoffs, Derrick Henry.

128
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 3: He did his part.

129
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you want if you're talking about what

130
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: you need as a team to get to the Super Bowl,

131
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: I think any way you slice it, you envision Derek

132
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: Henry being part of that, and now he will be.

133
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: So it's really exciting and it's a nice way to

134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: kick off schedule release day.

135
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: Now.

136
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: The other thing before we turn the page at the schedule,

137
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: on the other end of the spectrum, the unfortunate piece

138
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: of news this week is that safety our Darius Washington

139
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: reportedly tours Achilles conditioning and is going to be out

140
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: for the season, which is just first of all, I

141
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: just feel really.

142
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: Badly for him.

143
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: Inter Rappaport broke this news on Tuesday night, and like,

144
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: this is a guy who's coming off the best season

145
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: of his career, established himself as a star starter, played

146
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: at a really high level last year.

147
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: And I just think he's an.

148
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: On drafted guy who's overcome injuries and like was was

149
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: going into the last year of a contract as a

150
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: restricted free agent.

151
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: I just feel bad for him.

152
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's really tragic news for our areas. You know,

153
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: the silver lining is this dude's overcome a lot in

154
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: his life and in his career, you know, as you

155
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: mentioned undrafted, you know, he had a season ending basically

156
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: two season ending injuries before in his career came one

157
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: foot and another kind of chest injury. Came back from those,

158
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: uh and to reach the highs of the highs last year,

159
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, and he was one of the best stories

160
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: and honestly like one of the best playmakers on the

161
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: defense kind of in the second half of the season.

162
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: Which a huge piece of the turnaround on this defense exactly.

163
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: And so he's done it once before, and I have

164
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: confidence in like the character and the guy that our

165
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Arius is and the player he is, that he can

166
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: do that again. Now that the tough part is, you know,

167
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: he's on a one year to deal and so he

168
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: would have to resign, and he's coming off an injury,

169
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: and that's it's always tough when you see an injury,

170
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: especially to like a former undraft did free agent. You know,

171
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: he's five foot eight and all those things like happen

172
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: in a contract year.

173
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough.

174
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: And it's also tough for the Ravens quite honestly, because

175
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: he was one of their top three safeties and was

176
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: going to play even after the Ravens draft in Malachi

177
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Starks in the first round. Ardarius Wasshington was going to

178
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: play a really big role in this secondary, whether it

179
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: be at safety or in the slot corner like, he

180
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: was going to be part of that very versatile rotation.

181
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: And so it's a hole for the Ravens to fill.

182
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: The reason that so many people thought the Ravens were

183
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: going to take Malachi Starks and thought safety early in

184
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: this draft is that the Raves made it clear that

185
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: they want three safeties to can be on the field

186
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: a lot. They like that, they like that alignment defensively,

187
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: and in order to do that, you have to have

188
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: the personnel. Starks given the personnel to do that. Now,

189
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: with ar Darius not being in the mix, that changes something,

190
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: So it could change the way they play. It also

191
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: creates an opportunity for young players Sonoosey Kane late round

192
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: pick last ye year, seventh round pick and Bo Braid

193
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: undrafted player Maryland kid. And so I mean, at once

194
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: upon a time, mar Darius was the undrafted guy who

195
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: was looking to claw, you know, his way out to

196
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: a roster and earn a role. So now like that

197
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: opportunity is going to be there for Bo braid A,

198
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 2: Sinoosi Kane. Of course, the Ravens could also go out

199
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: there and look into the veteran market as well. They've

200
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: done that in past years. It didn't work out last

201
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: year with Eddie Jackson, but they went that route, and

202
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: so they could explore the free agent market as well.

203
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: I would expect that they will probably at some point

204
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: out a veteran and that player may or may not be,

205
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, make the fifty three man roster ultimately, but

206
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: I would expect that they would probably explore that. And

207
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: you know, as it stands now, I think the ripple

208
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: effect really impacts Kyle Hamilton the most. I mean he

209
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: I think Malachi Starks is going to play a lot

210
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: his rookie year. He might play even more because of this.

211
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: And then b I think it impacts Kyle Hamilton because

212
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: now do you have enough safety vers statility and to

213
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: have him play slot corner and can come down in

214
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: the box. You know, as it stands now is it's

215
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: kind of he and Malachi unless you're playing single high,

216
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: which that will presumably be Malachi. Then Kyle's back more

217
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: in that traditional safety role like he was the second

218
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: half last season. Now that went pretty darn well. It's

219
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: not a bad position to be in. But the Ravens

220
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: won as much versatility as they can and so you

221
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: know what the Ravens. How the Ravens could pivot from

222
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: this schematically or personnel wise, I should say, is more.

223
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: It's the question is who plays slot corner and and

224
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: if you're not, if you can't have Kyle play slot

225
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: corner as much, then it's probably going to be more

226
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey. And so you lean more on Cheat o'

227
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: bay and Nate Wiggins on the outside, and Marlin plays

228
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: a higher snap of the snap share its slot. Yeah,

229
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: so you lean more on your corners and less on

230
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: your safety.

231
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: They're all connected and the secondary there. But I'm with you,

232
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: I would not surprise me if the Ravens end up

233
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: adding a free agent safety at some point. Maybe not

234
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: to somebody that's like, you know, a former Pro Bowl

235
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: player like Eddie Jackson was when he came in here,

236
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: but somebody could come in there and compete, or there's

237
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: there's some quality safeties who are still out there. So like,

238
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: I would not surprise you if they add somebody to

239
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: that mix and bring some more competition and then like,

240
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm not rolling out the young guys too.

241
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that Snoosy Kane and Bo Braid were

242
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: kind of overlooked. Like both played very well on special

243
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: teams last year, I thought, really well, and I liked

244
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: what I saw from them in the preseason playing safety.

245
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, both dudes can They'll come up and

246
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: hit you.

247
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: And they earned their they earned their spot, both of them.

248
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: They were both like, these guys are probably too good

249
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 2: to cut, so like they earned their their fifty three

250
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: man rosters based on how they played in the preseason.

251
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: So I'm intrigued in what they offer as well.

252
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: And they have Chuck Pagano back there coaching them, and

253
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: and we all know how great a teacher Chuck is,

254
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: and so I think that those guys could make pretty

255
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: good year two jumps.

256
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So worship it for our Darius certainly obviously wish

257
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: the best for him in his recovery. And we'll certain

258
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: that will be a piece of the Ravens have to

259
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: soar through this offseason. So we're gonna take a quick

260
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: break and when we come back, we will dive into

261
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five NFL schedule, all right, So we

262
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: have the schedule here. We have the twenty twenty five

263
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: Ravens schedule, so if you want to, of course look

264
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: at it, it's posted on our app on our website.

265
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: But I will run through the whole thing here so

266
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: everyone can take a look and listen to this and

267
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: hear what the schedule is going to look like. So

268
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: the Ravens opened the season Week one, Sunday Night football

269
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: in Buffalo. So it's a rematch of how the Ravens

270
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: ended their season, second straight year that that's been the case.

271
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: Oh you're getting into my takeway, I know.

272
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: Just run through the schedule then hold on, hold on,

273
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: all right? This Week two, the Ravens open at home,

00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: Week six, it's the La Rams coming to town for

280
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: a one o'clock game. Then the Ravens have the Week seven.

281
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: By week eight, the Ravens are playing against the Chicago

282

286
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: four to twenty five game. Then they come back home

00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: Week twelve against the Jets one o'clock. Week thirteen, they

288
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 2: are playing the Bengals. That's on Thanksgiving Night, eight to

289
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: twenty game against the Bengals in Baltimore, aren't Thanksgiving. Week fourteen,

00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: it's against the Pittsburgh Steelers. One o'clock game here in Baltimore.

00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 2: Then they go on the road play the Cincinnati Bengals

Speaker 2: one o'clock game, and week fifteen. Week sixteen, they're back

Speaker 2: in Baltimore for their final home game of the season.

294
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: It's against the New England Patriots. One o'clock game.

295
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: Regular season, regular season, regular season. Yes, thank you for

296
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: CRESTFC championship.

297
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: Ye, I never want to see just rolled the plus

298
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: yeah exactly. And then to close things out Week seventeen

299
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: at the Green Bay Packers and Week eighteen at the

300
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. A date and time for those last two

301
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: games of the season is TBD, So that's like flex

302
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: scheduling is going crazy at that time of the year,

303
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: and so the NFL wants to put the best games

304
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: and the best times at that point. So we are

305
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: unsure of the date and time of those last two games,

306
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: but the Ravens will finish with two straight on the rout.

307
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

308
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: So my biggest thing when this first hit my desk was, Wow,

309
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: what a start that is. The Ravens will face in

310
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:43,119
Speaker 1: their first six games five ragning division winners. The Bills, Lions, Chiefs, Texans,

311
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: and Rams all won their division last year. You're coming

312
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: out of the gates hot. Yeah, the Ravens need to

313
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: come out of the gates hot. Last year started zero

314
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: to two and kind of had to dig their way

315
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: out of that early hole. And they cannot afford to

316
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: start slow this year in order to kind of reach

317
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: these AFC goals that we just talked about. Hey, hosting

318
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game and all that stuff. You have

319
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: two games against the Bills and Chiefs in the first

320
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: four weeks. It's going to give you an early indication

321
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: about who the AFC leader is. Well.

322
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: To be honest, it reminds me of last year. Yep,

323
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: the Raven's. It's kind of flipped the Ravens. Last year

324
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: they opened the season in Kansas City and they played

325
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: the Bills week for Now they're opening the season in Buffalo,

326
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: they played the Chiefs week for. They had really tough

327
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: games the first four last year when they went Kansas

328
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: City and they played at home against the Raiders and

329
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: then Dallas Buffalo. This year it's a little bit different,

330
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: but again it's a tough stretch to open the season,

331
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: and so the Ravens climbed out of that early hole,

332
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: but they created it and then falling into that early hole.

333
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: As Kyle Hamilton talked about this offseason, the Ravens at

334
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: the end of the season are kind of kicking themselves, saying,

335
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: have we taken care of business against the Raiders early

336
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: in the year.

337
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: And we had pulled off that winning Kansas City and

338
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: Isaiah likely.

339
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: Got his toe in right hosting that game against Buffalo,

340
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: And so when that have made a difference, We'll never know,

341
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: but I think that it just reminds me of last year,

342
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: a tough start to open the year, and the Ravens

343
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: are gonna have to come out kind of clicking on

344
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: all Cylinders early in this season.

345
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely agree. And then it's also a challenging finish.

346
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the Ravens do not play the Bengals or

347
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: Steelers until Week thirteen. So while you get an early

348
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: indication of all, right, you know, the race, I think

349
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: generally speaking, the Ravens, Chiefs, and Bills are considered kind

350
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: of the cream of the crop in the AFC going

351
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: into the season. Of course, you could throw some other

352
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: teams in there, and you know, so you'll get it

353
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: kind of an early pecking order. Then the division, however,

354
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: will not be decided until late in the year. Down

355
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: that stretch you go, You start with that Thanksgiving game

356
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: against the Bengals and then it's four of the final

357
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: six games are against the Bengals or Steelers.

358
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. AFC North decided basically in December.

359
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have like this weird stretch Week thirteen,

360
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: fourteen fifteen Bengals, Steelers Bengals, yep, with starting on Thanksgiving

361
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: night and then home against the Steelers and then at Cincinnati.

362
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: It's not often that you, you know, have a team

363
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: that you play like like Bengal Steelers Pittsburgh. It's not

364
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: often you have a game separated by one opponent like that.

365
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: So that's kind of an interesting quirk of the schedule.

366
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, the AFC North, it's a tough close, like

367
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: I think, Like when I looked at it, I did

368
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: think tough open. I also thought difficult clothes. You have

369
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: the division games and then road road to close the

370
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: season at green Bay. Green Bay could very well be

371
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: one of the best teams in the league. Talk about

372
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: the frozen Tundra for late in the season Week seventeen,

373
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: Tundra get the winner. Jackets ready for that one. And

374
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: then and then Pittsburgh. So you close out the season

375
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 2: and those two, I mean both difficult places to play and.

376
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: Anti mid December at Cincinnati that he can get it

377
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: can get chilli there too.

378
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean you look at the schedule in December.

379
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: In December, the Ravens are playing in Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh,

380
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: and green Bay.

381
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: It's gonna be cold, but that's what you expect. That

382
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: is what you expect.

383
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: But I just think it green Bay in late December,

384
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: early January, and then you circle however, that's gonna be

385
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: very cold, Rose and froze.

386
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 2: So yeah, that that's gonna be a tough. Yeah, a

387
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: tough way to close out the year. Yep, you just hope,

388
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: of course. I mean this is like how you always hope,

389
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: but be nice if that, like Steelers game, isn't for

390
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: the division or isn't for like the number one star.

391
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: I liked it those two years where the Ravens had

392
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: the number one seed and we're able to rest guys

393
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 2: in Week eighteen.

394
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 3: That, yeah, I like that. You can pencil that one in. Yeah,

395
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: I like that. I like that approach.

396
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, no team, so the Ravens are going for

397
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: a three peat as AFC North champions. No team is

398
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: ever done that, and so that will be when we

399
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: find out. Can can they pull it off and win

400
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: three straight division crowns? So exciting finish to the season.

401
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: The other thing that stood out to me is it

402
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of like a baseball schedule as

403
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: opposed to a football schedule, Like what sport are we

404
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: playing here? We have long home stands and long road trips. Yeah,

405
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: so early in the season, you're at home for four

406
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: well no, sorry, five of the first seven games, and yes,

407
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: you wake up in your own bed literally for a

408
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: whole month. September twenty ninth to October twenty ninth, the

409
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: Ravens will be waking up in their own bed.

410
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not to get onto plane for basically the

411
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: month of the month of October. Yeah, and because you

412
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: have three straight home games with a bye week nestled

413
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 2: in there. So in reality they that bye week will

414
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: be the time the guys go on a little vacation.

415
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: They won't wake up on their own bed on the

416
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: bye week, but but they would prefer to wake up

417
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: in their own bed.

418
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: They have that as an option. But you know, they

419
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: don't have to get on a plane for a month.

420
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: And so I think that that's like, but then if

421
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: then it flips, then it flips, and you got three

422
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: straight on the road. And so it's like the pendulum

423
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: is swinging and staying there for a little while. It

424
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 2: goes you're at home for a month. Now you're on

425
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: the road for three straight. Okay, now you're back, come

426
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: on home. Now you're back for three straight. Like I

427
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: don't know that I've ever seen three straight home, three

428
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: straight road, three straight home, well that I've ever seen that.

429
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's it's really a weird quirk in the schedule.

430
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: I mean, last two years, it's been very balanced with

431
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: road road, home and so and then finish the last

432
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: two on the road. So yeah, it's it's quirky.

433
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

434
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 2: Another uh, another note that I have here, and I'm

435
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: curious what other ones stand out to you? The games

436
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: that kind of I circle, of course, the ones that

437
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 2: you circle, there's the obvious. It's always like the night games.

438
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 2: So Apple Buffalo opened the season Kansas City Ravens Kansas City.

439
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: You're always going to pay twenty five, but like, of

440
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: course you're going to be all eyes are going to

441
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: be on that game.

442
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, nationally it'll be basically nationally held.

443
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: That's that's Nansen Romo talking about two great quarterbacks in

444
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: the league. Like, you can go ahead and get ready

445
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: for that. Then Bengals on Thanksgiving. Of course that's going

446
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: to be exciting. It's been a while since the Ravens

447
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: have played on Thanksgiving. They've done back to back Christmas games.

448
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: Now they're getting the taste of Thanksgiving.

449
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's one of my my takeaways here

450
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: is home for the holidays finally, Well too straight.

451
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 3: You're home, you're you're working now you're working that yeah,

452
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: but you're home. You're home.

453
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get to know, don't don't overdo it with

454
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: the turkey before the games. You have to work that night,

455
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: holl load up on the turkey, on the red wine,

456
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: like you could try to take the nap during the

457
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 2: but you.

458
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: Got I didn't pick the wine for Thanksgiving in draft?

459
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: That was you. Okay, Hey, you had only wine. Remember

460
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: in your Thanksgiving draft.

461
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a different it's gonna be a different

462
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 2: menu this year.

463
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you better not. Yeah, actual screwed it up.

464
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: You haven't flipped I had you had only one? Yeah,

465
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: you have that flipped a long time. Listeners allowed to

466
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: remember that one. That was one of our original drafts.

467
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, but I mean eight twenty kickoff.

468
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: I have enough time to have the turkey, the gravy,

469
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: maybe even little gnat early dinner, though I have that

470
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: you may have the Thanksgiving lunch followed by the NAT

471
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 2: followed by the game.

472
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 3: You do get to the games. If it's a twenty kick,

473
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 3: you'll be rolling in about eight eight, hey, fifteen, Hey

474
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 3: by there for kickoff? Eight fifty? Very am there for kickoff?

475
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: I'd say fifty to fifty. I would say fifty fifty.

476
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 2: You'll be waking up from your slumber.

477
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 3: Well, this this year, I might be a risk. It

478
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: might be a fifty to fifty the risk this year.

479
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: So you are home for the holidays, but you're working

480
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: it just as a reminder.

481
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but that's just us. Look. Look, look, I

482
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: don't look at this schedule selfishly. Yeah, okay, look at it.

483
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: For fans, it's the perfect holiday schedule of fans, Like

484
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: you can still enjoy Thanksgiving, but then you have the

485
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: night game on Thanksgiving. That's it's perfect and you don't

486
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: have your Christmas getting interrupted and all that stuff.

487
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: Like to me, I think it's kind of perfect. Yeah. Look,

488
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: I actually liked this.

489
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: And we're not traveling, okay, traveling on christs being away

490
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: from your families. If we're looking at it from selfish Ravens,

491
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: if we're looking at it now from your perspective, selfishly,

492
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: we're not traveling.

493
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: I I, in all honesty, I liked the Thanksgiving night

494
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: game in Baltimore. I think it's it's gonna be The

495
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: Ravens did that. They've they've done it twice. They did

496
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: it against Steelers once, and they did it against forty

497
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 2: nine Ers once. That was the original hardball back in

498
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 2: twenty ee.

499
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: We're supposed to have it against the Steelers again, but

500
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: the COVID yeah, Leg got his phone a couple of times.

501
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 3: Yep, so uh I think and the Pittsburgh went both wins.

502
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: By the way, both Ravens Thanksgiving games against the forty

503
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: nine Ers and the Steelers. And the Steelers game famously

504
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: was the Mike Tomlin stepping on the field in front

505
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: of Kobe Jones game.

506
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was That's one to remember. That's

507
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: what I remember.

508
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was an exciting win. So hopefully there's another

509
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: kind of exciting uh yeah, get the pick with the

510
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 2: Turkey legs after that game exactly. The other one that

511
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 2: I have noted beyond like the big primetime games that

512
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: we just kind of ran through the Browns game Week two. Okay,

513
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: here's what interests me about that game. That it's early

514
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 2: in the season, I think the most likely starting quarterback

515
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: for the Cleveland Browns is Joe Flacca, especially early in

516
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: the year. Having that game in Week two, I think

517
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: more likely that Joe is the starting quarterback. You know,

518
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: if it's later in the season and you're maybe talking

519
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 2: about the rookies and should or Sanders, I think that's

520
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: a good point, and so I think that you this

521
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: is as it stands right now, likely the Joe Flacker

522
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: returns to Baltimore for the first time game.

523
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 3: Which is a pretty avict storyline. Yeah, yeah, I mean

524
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 3: he hasn't.

525
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been playing in the league here, it's

526
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: going on his eighth season not being in Baltimore anymore,

527
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: seventh season, not being in Baltimore anymore.

528
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: It would be surprising to see a Day three pick

529
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: starting Week one or in this case week two for

530
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: the Browns exactly.

531
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: And so I mean he's been playing in the league

532
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: seven years, slid for them, people would expect it.

533
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

534
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, But in.

535
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: Terms of Joe, like the Ravens have played him, but

536
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: they never played here, and so this would be his

537
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: first game back in Baltimore. So having that game early

538
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: in the season I think makes it certainly more likely

539
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: that he's a starting quarterback and.

540
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: That will be the big talk.

541
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: If that's the case, that'll be the big storylineup that week.

542
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the boo yeah could have hit it.

543
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: I Mean my thing with the primetime games was it

544
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: was just fewer than I expected. Yeah, right now it's

545
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: four technically now the Chiefs game at four twenty five.

546
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: Like we said, that's a lot of people in America

547
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: are going to be watching that game. But I still

548
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 1: expected more than four primetime night games. And you know,

549
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: so that there were some big games that didn't get

550
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: that treatment that I thought certainly could have. I mean,

551
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: right as of now, you could have a week eighteen

552
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: flex and that Steelers game could be primetime, but it's

553
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: a one o'clock kickoff versus the Steelers and TBD that

554
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: Packers game again, who knows what time that'll be. That

555
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: could be a primetime game. But you know, Vikings could

556
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: have been, Rams could have been, Houston could have been.

557
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Like there's a number of games here that I thought

558
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: were good, strong candidates for prime time.

559
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 3: They probably could have gone maybe one more and then.

560
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: The chief and honestly the Chiefs not being on Sunday

561
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: or Monday Night Football or Thursday Night football something at night.

562
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: It's I do think that the NFL schedule makers, as

563
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 2: they like divvy up the schedule, and like I always

564
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: am interested in hearing like Mike North do interviews.

565
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 3: You know, he's the one of the NFL league offense

566
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: who really sets the schedule at his team.

567
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like they want to they want all the

568
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: networks to have a piece of the action. And so

569
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: like I'm sure CBS is looking at it.

570
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: Oh they were fighting, they were I'm sure networks for

571
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: fighting for that gay hard.

572
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: I mean, like Kansas City Baltimore is like one of

573
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: the top games on the calendar this year, right, and

574
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: so like that's a great get for CBS. And so

575
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 2: like I think the NFL schedule makers they don't want

576
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 2: basically all of the good games to be.

577
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: Sunday and Monday night. You want to have some really

578
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: good ones.

579
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: The four to twenty five game for CBS or Fox,

580
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: like that's essentially a nationally televised game, and so that's

581
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 2: what that game is really going to be. And I

582
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: do think like as you look at the Packers and

583
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 2: the Steelers games since week seventeen and eighteen, uh, don't

584
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: be surprised if those are national TV games.

585
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: At least one. I thought, I thought we already slated.

586
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: This Steelers game has no meaning, right pack Packers. Packers

587
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 3: saw that for the national TV game, and then they

588
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: seal it.

589
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: Up, right, that's when they steal the top seed. Yeah yeah, actually, yeah,

590
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: we're getting.

591
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 3: Close to the win lass game. Yeah, we're kind of

592
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: screwing that.

593
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean last year was they ended up

594
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: playing eight. The Ravens did eight nationally televised. Right now

595
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: it's on the schedules four. Yeah, so that's a pretty

596
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: big difference.

597
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.

598
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: The last thing that stood out for me was the

599
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: bye week, and so the Ravens have had late buys

600
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: the past two years. For listeners, you can have the

601
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: bye week anytime between week five and fifteen. Last year

602
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: was week the past two years were week thirteen and fourteen.

603
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: So it's been late the past couple. This year a

604
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: week seven by that's on the earlier end of the

605
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: bye week. So it's like, all right, is that good?

606
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 3: Is it bad? What do you think of the placement

607
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: of the buy? It's not so like week five is

608
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 3: the week seven is.

609
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: Earlier, but like if it's weak eight, then you're saying, like, oh,

610
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 2: it's right to smack down.

611
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it's fine. I don't like.

612
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 3: I'm good with where the BIA is.

613
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm good with it. And here's the thing. The past

614
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: two years, the Raves have views. You know, the narrative

615
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: around the late by was like all right, gives them

616
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: a chance to get fresh and heal up for a

617
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: late season push and into the playoffs. And that's come

618
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: to fruition. Like the Ravens last year went undefeated after

619
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: the bye four and oh the previous season they lost

620
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: one game, but that was when they rested all their

621
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: starters in the season finale Againsteelers, which are gonna be

622
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: the going again this year. So like you know, it

623
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: kind of the late by the past two years, John Harball,

624
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: I thought it did a good job of like getting

625
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: the guy's minds right and all that stuff. Now the

626
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: bodies start to get tired. You know, you get the

627
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: last game before that, by like you it's tough. You know,

628
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 1: the Ravens had to face the Eagles right before they

629
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: went into that late by this past season, and that

630
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: was physically demanding. So I there's pros and cons the

631
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: earlier by why I like where it is right now

632
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: is it's after that initial six game really tough stretch

633
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: to open the year where we're playing five division winners.

634
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: The Ravens are going to get a good idea in

635
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: those six games where their strengths are and where their

636
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: weaknesses are, and what it's going to take if they

637
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: haven't done it already to be and beat the top

638
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. Right, So it's like less of

639
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: a physical break than it has been the past couple

640
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: of years, where it's like John Harball's like prior number

641
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: one during this buy is just rest, get off your feet.

642
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: The whole time it is about resting. This year, I

643
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit more of a mental kind

644
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: of uh break and a chance for kind of earlier

645
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: adjustments and to see kind of where you stack up

646
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: and what you need to maybe tweak.

647
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: I last year felt so late from a bystandpoint, and

648
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: the Ravens had some really tough games before that, and like,

649
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: had the bye been early, you will never know. This

650
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: is impossible question, but like when they played that game

651
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: against the Eagles, which was the game before the bye week,

652
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: to me, it felt like a team that was really

653
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 2: worn down at that point. It just felt like, man,

654
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: they needed a break. Like I think that, like they

655
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: were a little bit gas and like it was a

656
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: really tough stretch and like I just think that, like.

657
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: And by the way you were facing the.

658
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: So like Eagles were great and the Ravens played them tough,

659
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: especially earlier in that game. But I just feel like

660
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: having the buy a little bit earlier has the potential

661
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: to keep you fresh. And like, again, had the Ravens

662
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: had a Week seven by last year and then that

663
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: played that game against the Eagles in Week ten or eleven,

664
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: whatever it was, like, Uh, would it have been different?

665
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: We'll never know, but I think it could have been well.

666
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: And to me, it's almost like I think if the

667
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: Ravens had earlier by last year when they were having

668
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: the struggles in the secondary and given up too many

669
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: big plays, like maybe an earlier buy would have given

670
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: them that reset button where they could have made those

671
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: changes a little bit earlier and solve some of those

672
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: early problems that they had in the year. That's what

673
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: I think the potential benefit is of this buy. You

674
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: play some really good teams, you're gonna get an idea

675
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: of what you are and what you're not and where

676
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: you might need to make some changes.

677
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: And then coming out of the by its Bears, Dolphins, Vikings, Browns, Jets.

678
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: That's the next five and so like on paper, the

679
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: Ravens will likely end up being like the favorites and

680
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: the majority of those games, if not all of them,

681
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: and so you have the potential there after a really

682
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: tough stretch to maybe rattle off some wins.

683
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: But that's also when you go on the road for

684
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: three straight and there for three straight. Here's the thing,

685
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: it's like the Ravens have the eleventh toughest schedule in

686
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: the league.

687
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, based on last year, based on last.

688
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: Year's strength of their opponents. So there's not cupcakes on

689
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: the schedule here. It's tough schedule.

690
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 3: It's tough.

691
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: Well, you win, when you win the division, you play

692
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: a tough schedule, Like that's just how it goes, right, So,

693
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: like you know that.

694
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: You know the AFC North is going to be tough.

695
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: All those games are going to be tough. And oh,

696
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: by the way, you're also playing the entire NFC North,

697
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: which is a really good division, was the best division

698
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: in football last year, right, right, And so.

699
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: It's a challenge. Yeah, it's not by any means in

700
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: easy schedule. So I think the Bears will be better

701
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: than they were last year. I think.

702
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: You know, the Jets and the Patriots are two teams

703
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: with new head coaches. Mike Vrabel has been doing this

704
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: a long time with new coaches and young quarterbacks. Who

705
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, are ascending in their careers, so those are

706
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: going to be challenging games too.

707
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not an easy schedule, but again, we

708
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: knew it wasn't gonna be an easy schedule. But thenhen

709
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: you look at a paper like, man, it's just like

710
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: that's tough.

711
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 3: That's tough schedule.

712
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's tough. But when I go through

713
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: and play the wins lost game, I mean I'm seventeen.

714
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: No, well, you're you ready to do it? Yeah? All right,

715
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: let's go kick it off.

716
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: Dubs, Okay, Buffalo, you get revenge, Dubs, dubb come back home,

00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,920

Speaker 1: the cycle. He handles like the blitz is not a problem,

731
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: like it was that game anymore different stress, different story.

795
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan, who I've made sure he hasn't seen our

796
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 2: big boards.

797
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: Like this is on the up and up, all right,

798
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: and uh before Matt will give you before we start this,

799
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: I will give you a little time to just let

800
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: listeners know who you are, and I'll give you a

801
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: little time to brag about your mock draft. Right. So

802
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: we we did our mock drafts. I, as everyone knows,

803
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: hit Malachi Starks, Garrett hit, Carson Vincent. Matt did get

804
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: one hit on his mock draft this year.

805
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: Too, I did.

806
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 2: I did.

807
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 4: It was Emery Jones. I had him going on the fourth,

808
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 4: anyone on the third. But you know, Malachi Starks pretty obvious,

809
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 4: pretty obvious.

810
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: Wow, Wow, I'm already starting on the race all the time.

811
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 4: Shout out to Garrett.

812
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: It was.

813
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 4: It was a snipe with with Carson Vince.

814
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: That was Stark. He had the tweet about the visit.

815
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 4: You can't use that stuff, well, the big thing about

816
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 4: Mink getting Malachi stars as what was it February thirteenth,

817
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 4: exactly like he was on it from the start. So

818
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 4: while it seemed like an obvious pick, then I think

819
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 4: he kind of really I call it a horse on

820
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 4: that one. So it was impressive. But Emery Jones, you know,

821
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: I was very happy when I got that. I think

822
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: I had us taking what Walter Nolan in the first round,

823
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 4: you know, got a lot got a lot of shade

824
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 4: for that after he went what sixteenth overall? So it

825
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 4: was it was a really good rebound.

826
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: We got there. Yeah, well, well done, you earned your

827
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 3: way on.

828
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: I did tell him mad that he would get a

829
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: full time job if he nailed three Monck draft picks.

830
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 4: He came too short. Sorry, Yeah, Day three. Day three

831
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 4: was pretty intense. I was like, oh, my livelihood's on

832
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 4: the line right here.

833
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: Not well, Matt's been an amazing intern for us, and

834
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: we'll see how amazing by the results of this draft

835
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: and who he declares the winner. So Garrett, with no

836
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: further ado, Rock paper Scissors determined first overall pick. Wait, wait,

837
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: you gotta get in your head first. I'm like, over

838
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: the last five, Yeah, I gotta make sure I get this.

839
00:38:54,640 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Rock paper scissors. Shoot, I'm back. No,

840
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 3: I'm back, and I'm packing my swim trunks from Miami. Wow. Wow, wow, Yeah,

841
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 3: you played right into my hands. I'm head now. I'm

842
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: just getting on the beach and my floaties and my

843
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 3: swim trunks.

844
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so Miami, we're a great opponent. Way

845
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: to go the day on the beach.

846
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 2: Sure, okay, you don't get plenty this summer, like you

847
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 2: were not taking Miami with the first overall.

848
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 3: I did not have it.

849
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: I have a trip to the thron We want to

850
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: talk about epic I'm done, okay, we want to talk

851
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: about epic games, epic atmospheres. Late December in Green Bay,

852
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 1: snow game again. I can tell you I play off online.

853
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: This is when we clinched number one overall seed. This

854
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: is Look, we only get to go there once every

855
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: eight years. I've never been, so I gotta go. You

856
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: went last year what in the preseason or something, but

857
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: I went.

858
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: I went eight years ago. I went way Yeah, but

859
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 3: you wait, well, last year you put it roll high

860
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, I'm gonna freeze you out. You

861
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 3: see you honestly blew this.

862
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: You had a chance to freeze me out of the

863
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: first and tundra what you promised to do last year

864
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: when you got green Bay. You let yourself down by

865
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: you went to defensive. You should have played more defensive.

866
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: I've been to Green Bay. It's it's cool, sce you

867
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 3: could have first me out, but that's you would have

868
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 3: ruined my whole life. You know, I would have never

869
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: I would have possibly never gotten there. I've been. I've

870
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: been to Green Bay. It's great. Guess what, It's gonna

871
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 3: be cold. Have you ever been cold? You know how

872
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 3: cold feels? So like it's gonna be snowy.

873
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna be no guarantee there, it's just cold, like

874
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 2: you're just there. No, it's like a tease. You're there,

875
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, this is gonna be awesome. It's gonna

876
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 2: be a snow game. And then it's like ten degrees

877
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: and you're no snow.

878
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: How many times do you think I'm gonna get to

879
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: go down on the field and and say the frozen tundra,

880
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: because the tundra, as you said, will be frozen. I'm

881
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna recite that line like fifty times.

882
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 3: You may say it like there's no doubt that the

883
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 3: Miami game is higher on the pecking on.

884
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is Green Bay Ravens Late. It doesn't

885
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: get if you're a football fan, if you're a football affectionado,

886
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: if you eat, breathe, live football, that's.

887
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 3: The game you want to be at. If you're just

888
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: a pool boy, all you want to floating around the

889
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 3: lazy river, I'm gonna get to do that all summer.

890
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: Miami is the pick there. That game all Ocean City.

891
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: Ocean City, Maryland is better than Miami. Everything's overpriced all day.

892
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 2: It's really two days on the beach. I'll probably play

893
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 2: golf in the morning, head to the beach in the afternoon,

894
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: get pull making making, get to the game.

895
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 3: Eight fifteen Sunburn, Red.

896
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: Bag.

897
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: I know you.

898
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: My next pick there. If you want great football and

899
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: you want a great game, gladly, I'm gonna go to

900
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 2: Kansas City. I'm gonna go to Kansas City again. I'm

901
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: going to see the revenge game against the Chiefs against who. Well,

902
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: the revenge you can there's multiple, there's multiple. The revenge

903
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: game is against the Buffalo Bills.

904
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 1: So I'm taken next, which is the season opener, Look,

905
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: that's the season opener every year, is the game you

906
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: want to be at.

907
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 3: It's just that there's a different vibe at the season opener.

908
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, season over against the team that just knocked us

909
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs last year. And again, I mean

910
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: it's a great it's on equal footing with Ravens Chiefs, Ravens, Bills,

911
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Patrickhos. It's on equal footing in that way.

912
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: But the narrative, I mean the same is the Bills

913
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: game is better because it's the season opener. No, to me,

914
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: like if they were pretty honestly, they're pretty level, but

915
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: the Bills game being the season over put it ahead.

916
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: Now Kansas City, Kansas City, that atmosphere, that atmosphere is

917
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 2: going to be I mean, both the atmospheres are going

918
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: to be good, but Kansas City probably has a leg

919
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 2: up and that ard and on what basis just in

920
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 2: terms of the difficulty of playing at Arrowhead and that's

921
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 2: just like adds to the environment overall.

922
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: It's difficult to play an Orchard Park two plus, it's

923
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: difficult to play there in January. Plus it's there really

924
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: difficult in January, Like you're basically the best of Buffalo,

925
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 1: though you don't get it in January.

926
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 3: It's great, are you arguing against? The cold? Weather is different?

927
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: The frozen tundra is different.

928
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 2: Like we just saw what it's like being in a

929
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 2: cold weather game. So like you're one, I'm saying, you

930
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: don't even want to be part of the cold. So

931
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 2: another another another advantage from me there.

934
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,240

1088
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 3: mecca our judge here, I'm calling into question his credibility. Seriously,

1089
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:51,160

1091
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean that I would have taken like that was

1092
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: a good pick where it mank took it. It's not

1093
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 2: as good as Miami, but it is a good pick

1094
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 2: at that smart Look, Miami Green Bay were clearly one too. Yeah, exactly, really, look,

Speaker 1: I mean I.

1118
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,799

1119
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm telling you Minnesota, Minnesota Stadium. I mean, basically,

1120
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 2: I think this sounds like a run away all right.

1121
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 4: I mean Garrett one, I mean, listen, listen, maybe has

1122

Speaker 4: two preseason games on there, Like what are we doing?

1123
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,440

1124
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 4: of the preason games.

1125
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 3: I mean choices. I can agree.

1126
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 4: Green Bay is a great venue.

1127
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 3: It's coold.

1128
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:31,479

1129
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 3: It is gonna be very cold. That's part of the

1130
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 3: charm that makes it great. December. We don't know yet,

1131

1132
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 4: It's part of the charm experience. But I mean Buffalo,

1133
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:46,360

1139
