1 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: I think this was the biggest regular season win that 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: this that the Bravens have had in quite some time. 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: I can't make a decision, so it's always easy to 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: make the predictions of I could see it, well, I 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: couldn't see it. It could happen. Which side are you 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: coming down? What's cooking is looking pretty good? So I 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be some big games on the horizon. 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: Some Welcome into the lounge. We've had silver, Seattle's best coffee. 9 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: We're ready to go. Yeah. Absolutely, it's on that chowder. 10 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: I should I had the chowder in Seattle place chowder 11 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: shout out. Yeah, that place was incredible. I asked you 12 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: to bring some back. You couldn't snuck some in on 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: your I asked, Michelle. Yeah, you didn't ask me. You 14 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't have done it anyway, It doesn't it doesn't matter. 15 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: My hands are clean. You didn't ask U. So I 16 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: I really am sad that I didn't go on this trip. 17 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: Like there's definitely some fomo going on, because you know, 18 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to go out to Seattle. But our guy, 19 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: Cliff A. K. Cliff to his daughter, lives out there 20 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: in the Pacific Northwest, and so he was like, do 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: you mind. You know, I kind of like to go 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: on the trip and see my daughter. It's fair that 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: I can see, you know, And I don't want to 24 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: be a jerk. That'd be that'd be a jerk movie. 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: Like it's one of you can't go see your daughter. Man, 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: one of the few nice things you've done during your 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: time with the rape. I'm always nice. Just what one 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: of the few. I'll give you credit now, So so 29 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: Lightcliff go out and then it's like you guys all 30 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: come back. Man. Epic food tours with Phil Oh just 31 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: amazing time. And I missed the Pittsburgh game. I was 32 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: going to go to that one and I switched that 33 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: one last minute, just so now now I'm bad luck. 34 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: Now I can't go to any cool road games. Just 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: to rub salt in the wound the atmosphere after the game, 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: just to kind of let people in a little bit. 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: It was one of the most excited post game environments 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: that I've seen in a really long time. Just so much. Uh, 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: it was euphoria on the bench in the final minutes. 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: You can just tell at the end of a game, 41 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: how I guess the emotion um And this was one 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: of the rare games where you didn't the last couple 43 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: of players didn't matter. You know, you actually could reap 44 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: easy at the end of the game. You can enjoy 45 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: it um, which is rare, and the players enjoyed it. 46 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: On the bench. The locker room after the game was uh, 47 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: everyone was as you expect, just so incredibly fired up. 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: The plane ride home was fun. It was just all 49 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: those things. You often get the question, how was the 50 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: plane right home? How is the plane right home? And 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: and most often win or lose, the answer is that 52 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: it's pretty quiet. You kind of sit there, it's it's 53 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: but you're kind of separated from they are. Yeah, um, 54 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: but you could hear some hoot and holler and everybody 55 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: having a good time this plane ride, and it was um, 56 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: it really was a fun, unique, awesome atmosphere. Well, I'll 57 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: take solace in this. I think that there's gonna be 58 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: a lot more fun games this season. This season's what's 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: What's cooking is looking pretty good. So I think there's 60 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: gonna be some big games on the horizon, maybe some 61 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: playoff so I'll make sure I'm in attendance for those. 62 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: And I was there for the Mile High Miracle. Oh well, 63 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: that's obviously. UM. Alright, so we've got what we're gonna 64 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: do today is we're gonna give out some mid season 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: awards as we go into the bye week. UM, and 66 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: we also have a number of questions and emails from 67 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: you guys, the fans. As always, you can email us 68 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: at the lage at Ravens on NFL dot net. Let's 69 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: start with this audio question from Brandon A. Dare. Hello, 70 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: garin Ryan, I was wondering how your trip out to 71 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: the rainy city of Seattle was and your thoughts on 72 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: this big when over the Seahawks have a wonderful day 73 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: and go Ravens. All right, thanks to the question, Brandon. 74 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: So big question has a big question. Uh so what 75 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: do you think? Uh? Yeah, I mean I think that 76 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: it was a great win. Obviously, this is a statement win. Uh. 77 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: We all were wondering how how legit are the Ravens. 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: You know, can they just beat the not so great 79 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: teams and uh and fall against the Chiefs and the 80 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: Browns of the world, I mean the Browns. You know, 81 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: jury is still out on that one, but uh, this, obviously, 82 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: I think this was the biggest regular season win that 83 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: this that the Ravens have had in quite some time. 84 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: I really do. I mean, you just look at all 85 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: the history the stats Russell Wilson against a FC teams, 86 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: you think he was like eighteen o one or something 87 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: like that. I mean, well, there's not many teams in 88 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: general to beat No Seahawks in Seattle. It's one of 89 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: the toughest places to play. It really is an awesome atmosphere. 90 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: That game just felt like a Seattle game. It was 91 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: missing and raining the entire game. Uh you just well, 92 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you I'm not rubbing it in because I 93 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: was soaked. Sox were soaked. Uh So that was that 94 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: was the only negative there, But you could it would 95 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: just an incredible atmosphere, really loud. I actually don't think 96 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: we're really talking enough about how well poised Lamar was 97 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: in terms of orchestrating that offense and incredibly difficult situations, 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: the loudest environment that he's been in this season. So 99 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: I think that that is something that's kind of flying 100 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: under the radar and rising to the moment and clutch 101 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: situations against a really good team. You know, it's not 102 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything negative about Lamar, but he'd been 103 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: in some tough situations before and it didn't go the 104 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: right way. You know, I mean in Kansas City fumble 105 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: last season at the end of the game. Uh, you know, 106 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: there's l a Chargers had a chance to come back 107 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: in the playoff game fumble. UM. So it was good 108 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: to see him rise to the occasion, um and pull 109 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: it off. The one thing I will push back on 110 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: a little bit is you said it's the biggest regular 111 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: season win, and sometime the Chargers game last year was 112 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: equally big, and actually that's the Browns game at the 113 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: in Week seventeen. Well, it wasn't the same steaks in 114 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: terms of UM, wasn't the same situation, road atmosphere, MVP candidate. 115 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: It was to clinch the division. Very true, That's very true, 116 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: this this one, I think though, I mean the Chargers game, 117 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: a lot of people the Charges were playing really well. 118 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: Not many people give us a chance. But we're already 119 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: kind of on a role in that game or in 120 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: that season. But the narrative was the same, and that 121 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: can you beat a good Basically that they questioned some 122 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: mediocre teams during that stretch, and so the question was 123 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: beat a good team, beat a good team. That's very true. 124 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: That's a good point. I mean this one. I think 125 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: this season could have gone really one of two directions, 126 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, depending on this Seattle game. If you if 127 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: we had gone out there to Seattle and loss, let's say, 128 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: in a stinker, and then you have the Patriots next 129 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: up on the schedule, you know, the Bengals and the 130 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: Texans forty niners. Uh, you know, it could have really 131 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: kind of gotten gone downhill. This whin now really sends 132 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: you in the opposite trajectory and says, hey, we're legit, 133 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I feel like, you know what, 134 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: come on in here, Patriots, come on, let's go. Yeah 135 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: they look pretty good last last night. That a little bit. Yeah, well, 136 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll talk about the Patriots after this, but 137 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: I will say I agree with you. I think that 138 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens are going to give them their best shot yet. Um. Alright, 139 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: So the other quick question that this is actually not 140 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: a question, but it's an email from Daniel Um Daniel Mills, 141 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: So I believe it's the email the show before and 142 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: he says, I don't even know what to say about 143 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: that game today. It was great. I was there. He 144 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: came down from Canada, he's from Vancouver. It's just his 145 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: first time seeing the Ravens live and the whole experience 146 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,119 Speaker 1: was so surreal, hands down, one of the greatest days ever. 147 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,679 Speaker 1: Uh he was you could see right outside the tunnel 148 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: and also in some of the wired videos that we 149 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: put out you can get a sense of this. Basically, 150 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: as a team walked out of the tunnel, Ravens fans 151 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: lined that tunnel several rows deep and it was sort 152 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: of an awesome atmosphere to walk out to and to 153 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: leave the field to guys came back down there, the 154 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: fans came back down there at the end of the game. 155 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: So Daniel was one of those fans there, and I 156 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: think it kind of just made a cool um environment 157 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: for players to to walk out onto that field, which 158 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: is such a hostle environment all that, but they could 159 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: tell that there was a bunch of Ravens fans there. 160 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: Feel like if somebody had your back. Yes, yes, exactly, 161 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: it was enemy territory, but you were going there with 162 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: some reinforcements, and fans like Daniel made that possible. So 163 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: appreciate the email from him. That's cool, that's great. Here's 164 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: another one, another Canadian listener we got our Canada team. 165 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: Canada squad come out strong today. Uh. Eric Bellinger says, Uh, 166 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm a longtime Lounge listener from Montreal, Canada, and I 167 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: wanted to say I love the pod and we need 168 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: more draft episodes. Love when Ryan completely botches them. I mean, 169 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: I can't agree with that. We do need to do 170 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: a draft though, you know the holiday ones. We got 171 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: to come up with some email email us Ravens NFL 172 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: dot net. I would love to do a on the draft, 173 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: try to redeem myself. And I've been on a hot 174 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: streak versus you recently the draft everything, but on a 175 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: little bit of a hot streak. Uh. Anyway, Eric says, 176 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: my question is now that we have Marcus Peters, what 177 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: will happen when Jimmy Smith returns too much talent with 178 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey to not have those three guys on the field. 179 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm guessing yeah, Jimmy, Marcus and Marlon and Brandon Carr. 180 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: Uh to not have those three on the field as 181 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: much as possible. Thanks guys, and keep up the good, 182 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: good work. Can't wait for the big win. That's because 183 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: before the Seahawks game, so he was right, Um, well, 184 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: so we're gonna We're gonna find out against the Patriots, 185 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: because the expectation is that Jimmy Spisks gonna be back 186 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: for that game. So I think that there. I think 187 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: that your three starting corners are going to be Marcus Peters, 188 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey, and Brandon Carr. I would agree with that 189 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: Brandon Car Jimmy gets eased in a little bit. It's 190 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: my expectation, okay, and even when Jimmy's full strength, I 191 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: still think that they keep Brandon cars starting streak intact. Yeah, 192 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I mean, Brandon is playing at 193 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: a high level. Why end it? I mean, if Brandon 194 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: were struggling, it'd be one thing. Then they'd come to 195 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: him and say, hey man, sorry, it's gonna come to 196 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: an end. But you can't take the you can't end 197 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: the street when he's playing well, why right? We actually 198 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: just we're talking about this on scripted, and I understand 199 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: why there's so much attention to Marlon Humphrey and Marcus 200 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: Peters and Jimmy Smith. I get all that, but everyone 201 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: just overlooks and takes for granted, Brandon Carr. I mean 202 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: he is, he's one of the older players on the team. 203 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: He goes out there and plays every game. He's playing 204 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: at a really high level. It's not just that he's 205 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: like available, which is important, but he's playing well. Like 206 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: how often do you see last year and his story 207 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: before in the year before, this whole career, right, It's 208 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: it's really unreal. The guy has been playing at a 209 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: at a consistently high level. And one thing we've seen 210 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: this raven secondary needs, it's consistency in terms of availability. 211 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: Uh So, he's he's been, I mean, honestly one of 212 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: the better free agent signings we've had in recent years. 213 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Also, now, I do think 214 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: there's potential and they've experimented with this a little bit 215 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: in games and in practice. Is him as in a 216 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: safety rover type role, well, especially since the Shawan Elliott 217 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: went out, they could use somebody a little bit more range, 218 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: eh back end secondary because Chuck Chuck Clark is very 219 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: solid safety. I think its strength is a little bit 220 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: closer to the box, you know. Uh So, if they 221 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: were to put Brandon, let's say, in a Deshaun Elliott 222 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: like role sometimes in clear obvious passing situations to get 223 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: all those cornerbacks on the field, uh I think that 224 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: would be a smart play, right, I mean, and then 225 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: you still then have Chuck Clark and Earl Thomas who 226 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: are gonna play every snap. Those two guys are playing 227 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: everything well, Chuck Clark turns into basically a linebacker. He 228 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: drops down in in that situation like he did when 229 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: de Shaun was coming into exactly. Um, but I think 230 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: that I agree with you. Marlin Humphreys shouldn't come off 231 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: the field. No, he's played at two high level. I mean, 232 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not gonna say Marcus Peters has to 233 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: play every single snap, Um, but I think he'll He'll 234 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: continue to play a lot. And really, Jimmy, Marcus and 235 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: Brandon Carr will probably rotate and and maybe they'll give 236 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: you know, Marlon a puff every once in a while. 237 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: But he shouldn't be coming off often, right, And to 238 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: your point about easy Jimmy back in, I think that's 239 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: a luxury here. Like it's not like you're in a 240 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: situation where you say, all right, we're playing the Patriots, Jimmy, 241 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: you need to go out there and play seventy five 242 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: snaps because of Ana, maybe he plays twenty, right, Like 243 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: that that's a good position to be and um, I've 244 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: starting to feel much better, you know, just in general. 245 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: The reinforcements are coming with Jimmy Patrick, Owasso Hollywood. Um, 246 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: it's good to get some depth back on this team. 247 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Kennedy even is under the right special teams. All right, 248 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: we got one more? Yeah, Ques question this or something? 249 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: Ashley legals. She says, Hey, Ryan Garrett, big fan of 250 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: the podcast. I listened every week. She took our recommendation 251 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: and bought her husband the Rhodes Mary Baby pumpkin beer 252 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: that she gave me credit for it, but it was you. 253 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: He loved it and wanted me to tell you guys 254 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: about it. He also said to try the Voodoo Ranger 255 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: Atomic pumpkin beer if you haven't yet. I have not 256 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: tried that, but Voodoo Voodoo Rangers nice, atomic pumpkin good. 257 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: I haven't tried the Atomic pumpkin but they're regular Voodo Rangers, 258 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: very solid. Now on to the Ravens, she says, As 259 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: much as this is a pumpkin beer podcast, she says 260 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: that she's still a little concerned with the defense. Do 261 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: you guys see the Ravens going after a grade before 262 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: the deadline next week? I think they're certainly gonna try. Um. 263 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: I just don't think that there's a lot of pass 264 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: rushers that are going to be available. Um. But if 265 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: I if I were a Bettman, yes, I think that 266 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: they will add somebody. Whether that's uh, defensive end or 267 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, I don't know, but I think that they 268 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: will add some pass rush help from outside the organization, 269 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: especially in light of the phenomic fee season ending injury 270 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: that you know, the premier pass rushers who come up 271 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: in the rumors, there's Von Miller's premieres. It gets uh, 272 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: there's Vic Beasley. The Falcons are starting to make moves. 273 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: They just shipped Mohammed Sanu to the Patriots, um, so 274 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: they could be in a bit of a fire sale 275 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: down there. Um. But I think that it could be 276 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: more in the vein of like a the moves that 277 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: the Ravens have made, with the exception of the Marcus 278 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: Peters wine, but the additions kind of well like a 279 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: geehaw Award, who like is a guy that wasn't like 280 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: this big name signing, but he goes out there and 281 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: he plays forty snaps on Sunday against Seahawks, like like, yeah, 282 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna I mean his emergence might actually preclude the 283 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: Ravens from making a move. I mean, if if they 284 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: feel like he can be kind of that edge guy 285 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: and step into Hi McFee like role, then maybe they say, 286 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: you still have any you still have an avoid a 287 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: pass rusher. Though, yes, he's not your your edge rusher, 288 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: that's not his kind of his forte. I don't think 289 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens here's what. I don't think it's gonna happen. 290 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't think the Ravens are gonna morge the future 291 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: and ship off first round picks. They're gonna go get 292 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: a pass rusher. I don't. I do not see that happening. Um, 293 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: I would be surprised on a trade if it's I 294 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: would be surprised if they give away a second round pick. 295 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule it out. But yeah, if you're going 296 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: down on one side of the aisle right now, are 297 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: you saying a second round pick is gonna leave for 298 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: a pass rusher. I mean it's just I mean, it's 299 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: still exactly. I can't make a decisions so hard. I 300 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: can't make a decision. It's always easy to make the 301 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: predictions of I could see it well, I couldn't see it, 302 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: it could happen. I'm and which side are you coming down? 303 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: I do not expect this is the second rounder or 304 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: higher to be traded. I say it's less likely, exactly 305 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: less likely. Um, so I can see that Ray was 306 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: making a trade. I don't think it will be for 307 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: a very rich deal. Um. But that's you know, that's 308 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: me actually making a statement instead of just trying to 309 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: both sides of the fence. Alright, Fine, I'm just saying 310 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be stunned if it was a second round pick. 311 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: But if you're if I'm betting a hundred dollars on it, no, 312 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to trade as highest segre 313 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: round pick. I just wouldn't be stunned, right, Um. All right, 314 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: So that's the answers to that question. Now we want 315 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: to go through and give out some of our mid 316 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: season awards. You got the trophies I did not hide there, 317 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: they're on the way, okay, Amazon, by here we go, 318 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: same day delivery, all right, you get about thirty packages 319 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: a day. Has got to be a trophy. Um. Alright, 320 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: So first one we're gonna do here is m v P. 321 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: We're basically the halfway points we're calling this halfway you know, 322 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: half season awards here, Who's m VP you should take? 323 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: Justin t Yeah, there have been there have been years 324 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: where we say Justin Tucker. I think he's won it before. 325 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: They're generally not good years, and that's not gonna be 326 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: the case this year. Lamar Jackson is in the MVP 327 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: conversation for the NFL, so you can bet that he's 328 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: the m v P of this team at the midpoint. Absolutely. 329 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: If we're doing offensive defensive, I would say Lamar and 330 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: Marlon Marlin has been extremely good. But sorry, Marlin, you're 331 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: not overshadowing Lamar so far. Yeah, all right, here's some 332 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: interesting ones. Actually, let's go to this one biggest surprise. 333 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: What's been your biggest surprise? That could be a player, 334 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: it could be some you know, facet of the Ravens. 335 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: What's the biggest surprise for you? The biggest surprise for 336 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: me is how well the offensive lines played. Okay, you 337 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: know me all offseason and during the draft, I would 338 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: say offensive line. I was saying that I wanted to 339 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: see them add to the offensive line, and they really 340 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: they didn't. Um, they were very concerned about it. I 341 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: was concerned. I was definitely concerned. And the and the 342 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: offensive line has played really well, and the Ravens have 343 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: the top They've scored more points than anyone in the NFL. 344 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: They've got the best rushing game in the NFL by 345 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: a wide margin. Um, and the offense, obviously Lamar Jackson 346 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: is the key reason for that, but the offensive lines 347 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: performan should not go overlok. Ryan Stanley is playing at 348 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl level. Best left tackle on the league, 349 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: says Pro Football, He's the best. Yeah, um, Marcia Yonda's 350 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: Martial Yonda. It's just a really good group. Yeah, I 351 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: would I would agree with that. Mine is gonna be 352 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: the defense. And this is twofold. I'm surprised at how 353 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: much it struggled at the beginning. I did not think, 354 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: I you know, I think it's seasons start. We were 355 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: all saying, yeah, they'll probably take a step back from 356 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: number one in terms of yards allowed, but it will 357 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: be a small step back and they'll get more turnovers 358 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: and that will be the difference. Um, it was a 359 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: big step back originally. And but I'm also so surprised 360 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: by that. And I was surprised by just the struggle 361 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: to replace some of those guys who left. I thought 362 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: it was gonna be a little bit smoother. I didn't 363 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: think that impact would be felt as much as it 364 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: was early on. But I'm also surprised about how it's 365 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: rallied with guys that were signed off the street Josh 366 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: Binds l J Fort. I mean, it's pretty jihad ward, 367 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: like we were just talking about, pretty incredible what this 368 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: defense has done with players that nobody was talking about. 369 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: So many moving pieces. Tony Jefferson goes down, Chuck Clark 370 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: steps in, you know, the injuries at cornerback. It's been 371 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: remarkable what they've done to rally and kind of right 372 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: the ship there. Um, so that the defense as a 373 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: whole would be my biggest surprise. The Ravens right now 374 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: ranked twelve overall in total defense, and so and so 375 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: they're right in the middle of the pack, and if 376 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: they play like they did on Sunday, they're gonna be 377 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: in the top ten before we know it. You know, 378 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't expect to defensive touchdowns every game, obviously, but um, 379 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: they're on the right trajectory and they're gonna get obviously 380 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: a test I guess the Patriots, yep, exactly, all right, 381 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: So best play so far. I think that the best 382 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: play was the pass from Lamar to Hollywood Brown against 383 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Oh. I like that pick. That's a 384 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: solid one that sealed the game. That sealed the game. 385 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: I think of Lamar's best pass at the season, just 386 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: absolutely perfect. Hollywood did a great job of letting the 387 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: ball come to him, put his arms out there at 388 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: the right the perfect moment, got both feeding bounds. I 389 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: would look to see look forward to seeing more of 390 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: those connections the second half of the year. It's a 391 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: good pick. I have to go with quarterback power. Yeah, 392 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: that was a great one and fourth and two eight 393 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: yard touchdown run by Lamar considering the stakes in Seattle 394 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: going up to Harves and hell yeah yeah, hell yeah, 395 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I love that. I seriously watched the 396 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: video fifty times. Yeah. Uh, it's pretty awesome. So yeah, 397 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: I would say to touchdown in Seattle on fourth down 398 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: best place so far. Both good picks. Yeah, alright, so 399 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: best in season addition to this team, Well, I think 400 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: that you'll probably get a lot of votes in this 401 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: category from Marcus Peters given the name, given the immediate impact, 402 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: and Marcus Peters, I think is going to be a 403 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: really good player down the stretch. Who I'll point to, however, 404 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: is Josh Bindes. He comes off the street into the 405 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: starting line literally playing golf the week before. The week 406 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: before when we had him on the podcast, you know, 407 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: he talked about how he had a date in mind. 408 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: He wouldn't tell us what the date was, but that 409 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: he was gonna call it a career, and so he 410 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: was knowing that that could potentially on the horizon. Hadn't 411 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: played football since last year, missed all of training camp. 412 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: Steps immediately into the starting lineup, it really kind of 413 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: solidifies the defense. He allows Peanut to go back to 414 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: his natural spot of weekside linebacker. That allows him a 415 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: little bit more flexibility. I just think that having a veteran, 416 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: calming presence in the middle of the defense is a 417 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: big reason why that defense is surprising you over the 418 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: past few games because of Josh Binds. So I'm gonna 419 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: have to coast side that one. I mean, where's my 420 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: season end could be, that could be, that could be 421 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: the pick, but right now I'm gonna go with Mines. 422 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: But it is pretty rare that you trade for a 423 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: guy and immediately first game he winn see the game. 424 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: I mean if Mark Speakers Peters doesn't make that pick six, yeah, 425 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: it could have gotten a little bit ugly there. If 426 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: they went up seventeen six, that would have been bad. 427 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: So that that was a huge player that might have 428 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: won the game. Um anyway, next is best under the 429 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: radar player, Right under the radar player. I think that 430 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: when you look at the defense again, I just talked 431 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: about buyings. You could say byons, but I'm not gonna 432 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: go back to that. I think it's Chuck Clark. You know, 433 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: he steps in for a really important player in Tony Jefferson. 434 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: Tony was kind of an emotional leader of this defense 435 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Chuck steps in there, you 436 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: want again, calming force, he wears the green dot. Everyone 437 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: talks about how smart he is. He's the one that's 438 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: communicating back there. Um Earl. Thomas seems to be playing 439 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: really well next to him. I just think that he 440 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: has done a great job for this defense. Um again, 441 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: he's not gonna get most of the credit. That's gonna 442 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: go to Marlon Humphrey, and that's gonna go to Marcus 443 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: Peters and and Thomas. More of the big name splash 444 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: type players, but Chuck Clark, Steady Eddie is is playing 445 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: at really high level. I think that's a great pick. 446 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on the other side of the ball, 447 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: and this is I'm surprising you didn't pick this one. 448 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: Mr offensive line. I'm gonna go with Matt Skura at 449 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: the center. I think he's playing at a very high level. Uh, 450 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: somebody another player that is just steady Eddie. Nobody talks about. 451 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: This offensive line has played very well. The run game 452 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: has been the best in the NFL, and it starts 453 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 1: with Scurra. And another thing that shouldn't be overlooked the 454 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: ball handling and how much that has improved this season. 455 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: The snaps, all that stuff is very important to this 456 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: offense because there's just a lot of ball movement in 457 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: terms of RPO, fakes and things like that, and if 458 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: skur doesn't put a good snap on Lamar, that stuff 459 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: gets disrupted. So I think Matt has done an excellent 460 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: job in the middle of the offensive and got a 461 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: little banged up there, played through it and has continued 462 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: to play the high level. I was really nervous about 463 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: the ball handling in Seattle, because when you're playing in 464 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: a wet environment, and again it was pouring the entire game. 465 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: For the most part, it was just a stay. He missed. Uh, 466 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: it could have got, could have gone haywire. There was 467 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 1: one phone ball of the Ravens were able to pounce on. Um. 468 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: But I think that the ability to go into that 469 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: kind of weather situation and withstand it from a ball 470 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: handling standpoint says a lot about how far that group 471 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: has come. Completely agree. All right, we have two more left. Uh, 472 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna do the final stat line for Lamar Jackson. 473 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: Oh wait, I forgot sorry, I forgot one best we 474 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: did best in season edition. I forgot best offseason edition. Yeah. Um, 475 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: I still you know, he's been out. I think Hollywood Brown, 476 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: you're on the Hollywood You had his catch for the 477 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: best play. I like it. Yeah, you know, like he's 478 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: gotta he's gotta play. You know, he's gonna play these 479 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: the second half of the season and he's got to 480 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: go back to you know. The one thing that is 481 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: concerning is that his production has pretty much gone down 482 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: every week. Um, well, he had two really good games. Yeah, 483 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard. He's not gonna have a hundred 484 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: fifty and two touchdowns every single game, so you'd expected 485 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 1: to drop, but it's just dropped every game. And I 486 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: was thinking about that too. Let's not forget that that 487 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: touchdown catching Pittsburgh where he got injured. That was a 488 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: that was a big boy catch. Hi. Yeah, I think 489 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 1: mark Ingram has been awesome for so many reasons. I mean, 490 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: he's running the ball well, um, and just his persona 491 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: and demeanor on the bench is so funny. Man, he 492 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: cracks me up. And it's not just funny, but he's 493 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: just he's perfect for this team and for this offense. 494 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: The physical nature he brings it's kind of like an 495 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: Kwon Bolden was talking about on the podcast, and not 496 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: quite the hand One's level, I would say, but mark 497 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: Ingram beings that physicality, that's that seriousness while having fun. Uh. 498 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: Teammates love him. I just think he's been an awesome, 499 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: awesome edition. I agree. I mean you could I could 500 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 1: easily go in that direction for sure. Um. I just 501 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: I just really like with Hollywood. I like the way 502 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: that he opens up the offense from a big picture level, 503 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: and I think that having him on the field makes 504 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: the defense respect that changes things, openings up in the 505 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: running game, which is why I'm so excited to getting back. 506 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: All Right, final Lamar stat line, Well, we have his 507 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: current stats. He's got sixteen yeah some quick math um, 508 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: eleven touchdowns. He's on pace for thirty seven seventy one 509 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: on the passing yards. He's got five hundred seventy six 510 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: rushing yards, on pace for one thousand, three hundred sixteen 511 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: rushing yards. So before the season started, you said that 512 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: Lamar would not throw for three thousand yards, and you 513 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: said he would not run for a thousand one aspect 514 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: of that. Uh so, I I you know, going back 515 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: on that, I honestly pretty much immediately regretted saying under 516 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: three thousand passing yards. Um, I was gonna say cold, um, 517 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: but but I would. I felt strongly about going over 518 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: a thousand rushing. And I think that's gonna happen. I 519 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: think he's over a thousand rushing over three thousand passing. 520 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: I agree. I don't think he's gonna hit und rushing. 521 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna continue to run for a 522 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: hundred of game like he has been the past couple 523 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: of weeks. Um. It's and with Hollywood coming back that 524 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: I think will lead to a little bit less running 525 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: for Lamar, and that's the hope. Let's be honest. I mean, 526 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: I love I love watching Lamar run. I was considering 527 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: best play by the way, his touchdown in Kansas City 528 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: that like put us back in the game. Where So anyway, 529 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna hitt rushing, but I do 530 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: think that he uh, I think he will hit that 531 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: mark in terms of passing three thousand, seven hundred seventy one. 532 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: Will he get to four thousand. I think he's gonna 533 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: be under four thousand. I would probably agree that he'll 534 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: be under four thousand, UM. And I'm gonna predict that 535 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: he gets to twenty two touchdowns. He's gonna double it up. Yeah, 536 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: I could. I could absolutely touchdowns. Yeah, he has eleven 537 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: right now, where a little bit shy at the middle point. 538 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: I think twenty two is right. He's got three rushing 539 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: touchdowns right now. I think that he finishes more in 540 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: that eight range um because I think that like one 541 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: one criticism right now is that the resident offense has 542 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: not been as good as you expect. But if you're 543 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: gonna if they're willing to run him down there, and 544 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: that look pretty good. Um So I think that he 545 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: finishes around eight. I think that he's around eleven, between 546 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: eleven and twelve hundred rushing yards. Uh, and I think 547 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: that he's between thirty seven passing yards. All right, last one, 548 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: final record prediction. I'm gonna go eleven and five. Yeah, 549 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. How much we're agreeing with you? This 550 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: is a weird one. Don't like it? I think eleven 551 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: and five. Um, just when you look at the schedule, 552 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: you go through and you play it out. Um, the 553 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: Ravens are at five wins right now? You want to 554 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: play the win lost game. No, I don't want to do. 555 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to do I don't want 556 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: to do the win lost game. But I think that 557 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: when you look at I think you can do it 558 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: in chunks. And I think when when you look at 559 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: they have the um, let's look at this, all right, 560 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: they have the Patriots, that Xans, the Rams, the forty Niners, 561 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: and the Bills. Okay, those are probably those are your 562 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: five hardest games remaining. Let's say I think the Ravens 563 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: need to win two of those. Yeah, need to win 564 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: two of those five Patriots, Texans, Rams, forty Niners, Bills. Right, 565 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: now those are all playoff teams. You know, I don't 566 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: think the Texans would be in if the season ended today, 567 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: but they're right there. If you win two of those, 568 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: Let's say you beat the Bengals, who are still winless. Okay, 569 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: so that's three wins. Beat the Jets at home, they're 570 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: not looking great. That's four wins. Then you have the 571 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: Browns and Steelers. If you can beat both of those teams, 572 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: that's eleven and five. That's eleven and five. And so 573 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: if you lose one of those games that you gotta 574 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: beat when three of those other five that we're talking 575 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: about earlier. Yeah, here's the other thing, too, is because 576 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: I think it's certainly possible, you could definitely win three 577 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: of those, right, and so we set even five. Maybe 578 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: it's ten and six, and you lose to the Steels 579 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,719 Speaker 1: potentially in a game, it doesn't matter. I'll take that 580 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: all day long. I mean, there's Week seventeen Rest of 581 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: Starters r G three game that could be there. That 582 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: could be the case. You know, we're getting ahead of 583 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: ourselves obviously here. But but the Browns are the Browns 584 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: gonna win ten games. It's gonna be tough. It doesn't 585 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: look like it doesn't look like they're gonna next It 586 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: does not look like the Browns are gonna win eight 587 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: more games this season, right, Um, does not look like 588 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers are gonna win eight more games this season. 589 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: So you may only need to get to tend to 590 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: win the division. You might only need to get to 591 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: nine to win the division. But the Ravens are gonna 592 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: be sitting here thinking, let's win nine games. Ravens are 593 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: gonna say, I mean on the side that's gonna buy. 594 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: They could be playing for a buy that game to 595 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have three losses, Patrick, my homes gonna miss 596 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: a few weeks. Who's to say that Ravens couldn't be 597 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: the second best team. There's the first best team first. 598 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: Don't feel dantagh. I've seen actually people say like, oh, 599 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: maybe we want the Browns to beat the Patriots so 600 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: we get a better chance. But no, no, we're winning 601 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: the division first. Okay, that's the aime. Get that knock, 602 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: check that one off, and then we'll worry about getting 603 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: the bye all right. Um, so it is the bye 604 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: week where you are going to endure enjoy our bye week. 605 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: I hope you guys do as well, and then next 606 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: week it's Patriots, so we're excited for that.
