1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge, presented by DraftKings. He's Back Special

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: edition episode for the Return of the Big Doll, Mark

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: I almost stroked myself, Mark Andrews and everything big almost

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: got me. Mark Andrews is back at Ravens practice. He's

5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: been designated for a return from injured reserve. This opens

6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: this twenty one day window a week before the Ravens,

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: about a week before they came off the playoffs, and

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: eight weeks and one day after he suffered his ankle injury.

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews is back on the field.

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an awesome day on Friday. I think

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: is surprising news for a lot of people to get.

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: I know, you know, the Ravens have said all along

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: there was a sliver of hope that Mark could return,

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: but at no point did they say it was definite.

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: And I think the fact that he's back before the

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: playoffs even begin on the field at least, is surprising

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: to everybody.

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: And you you, I'm gonna give you the big big point.

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: You said, well, be highly We'll got the rewind Bryson.

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Can you go back to the tape, Garrett, you know

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: it was a postgame reaction. Yeah, he said, well, highly

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: unlikely that Mark would return for the divisional playoffs. I said,

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule it out.

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm surprised. I did not expect him

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: to be back on the field now. Just so listeners know,

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: he's back at practice. He has not yet been activated

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: to the fifty three man roster. That of course, would

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: need to happen in order for him to play in

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: the division round or any other round past that. So

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: that has not happened yet, but it certainly could based

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: on how he progresses over the course of the next

32
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: week of practice. But look, I'm the first to say

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: I'm surprised at how quick of a timeline this has

34
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: been for Mark. Like when this injury happened, John Harbaugh

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: after the game told reporters it looks like it's season ending.

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: Then he had surgery and it was like, you know what,

37
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: once they got in there, it maybe looked a little

38
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: bit better and it's not necessarily season ending. Hopefully there's

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: a chance he could come back later this year. And

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: all of the media reports.

41
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: There was the outside chance was John Harball's quick.

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: Outside chance, And all the media reports at the time

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: were that the Ravens would need to make a deep

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: playoff run in order to have for it's even started.

45
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: And Mark's back on the field before it's even started.

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: So I think that this caught a lot of people

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: by surprise. Obviously really exciting to use for this team.

48
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, obviously he's one of the Ravens'

49
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: best players, right, I mean, he's still second on the

50
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: team in catches, he's third in yards, and he has

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: the most receiving touchdowns of anybody on the team. That's

52
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: despite missing six games.

53
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

54
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Right, So obviously from that standpoint, you just get an

55
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: amazing player back on the field. And then from a

56
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: leadership perspective, you know, I mean, this guy is in

57
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: many ways, he and Lamar are the heart and soul

58
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: of the Ravens offense. That's just it, you know, And

59
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: so you definitely felt kind of a energized boost at

60
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: Ravens practice today with him back on the field. Yeah.

61
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: And I'll just say, like when Mark went down, that's

62
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: the type of injury in a lot of ways that

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: can sink your season just because of how important he

64
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: is both to your point as a player and as

65
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: a leader. And so when you get him back on

66
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: the field, I really do think that like.

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: Plus the Ravens rattled off six straight wins. Well, of course,

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: of course, what do you feel great about that?

69
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll get to kind of what the role

70
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: is and all that stuff. But I think that like

71
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: when you when you have a leader who comes back

72
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: and has been working so hard behind the scenes to

73
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 2: get back, I think it further speaks to how significant

74
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: this postseason is. Like Mark is doing everything he can,

75
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: you know, he's killing himself to get back on the

76
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: field because I think he knows that this is a

77
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: special team. He wants to play with this team, and

78
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: he thinks the Ravens have a real opportunity here and

79
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: he is doing everything he can to get back.

80
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: And bigger than that, it just creates more of the

81
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: feeling like it's all coming into place. Yeah, this is

82
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: our year, or you know, it's it's all coming together

83
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: for us to win it. That's what it feels like.

84
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: You know.

85
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: And even whatever you sign, Dalvin Cook becomes available. Here's

86
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: a four time Pro Bowl or thousand yard rusher. You know,

87
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: he becomes available to you add him to the mix,

88
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: like it just is like let's go here we go.

89
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: You know, we got the big dog back what's what's

90
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: going to stop the Ravens offense.

91
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: It looks pretty darn good and it was already humming.

92
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: In terms of how he looked at practice, I mean,

93
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: I think that's what a lot of people will be

94
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: curious to see. We watched him at practice. We were

95
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: able to watch for about thirty minutes on Friday. He

96
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: was going through individual drills and also working off.

97
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: To the side with you know, with trempositional drills.

98
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, impositional drills.

99
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: So he was working with George Got see the Ravens

100
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: tight ends. Coach Todd Munkin was standing there kind of watching,

101
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: watching how things unfolded as well.

102
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everyone was kind of curious exactly.

103
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Todd Munkin was getting his cell phone out putting it

104
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I'm just shook it. Yeah, everybody wanted to

105
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: see it. That was the spectacle. Yeah, at practice, and

106
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: I thought Mark looked really good. Yeah, he was moving

107
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: really well, he was cutting. He did not look limited

108
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: in any way to my eyes.

109
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, like to the naked eye. When I

110
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: watched him, like he just he looked like he would

111
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: any other practice, to be honest, like it did not

112
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: seem like as I was watching him. Man, this guy's

113
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: limping all over the place, and that happens sometimes, Like

114
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: there's been guys it happened with Lamar two years ago

115
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: where he came back to practice and was hobbling out there,

116
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: did not look like himself, and that happens for a

117
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: variety of guys who were trying to get back in

118
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: the field. And you see him like you're going, it

119
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: doesn't look great. From my eye, it looked like he

120
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: was moving as well as he typically does. He was running,

121
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: he was cutting. He didn't seem hesitant like when I

122
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: saw him take off and show some bursts. I'm like, oh, okay,

123
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews, looks like he's back. And that I thought

124
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: was really telling and really encouraging.

125
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: It was neat to see the reaction from his teammates

126
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: and he he put his hand in the dirt and

127
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: came off the line of scrimmage, kind of bursting out

128
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: into a route in a positional drill, and Isaiah likely

129
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: gave a kind of one of those you know, and

130
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: that his teammates saw it too, you know, he has

131
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: his his typical Mark Andrews burst. I didn't see it.

132
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: Different, And to talk to speak to the fact that

133
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: he's a dog. Okay, it's it was. It was frigid

134
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: out there practice, Okay, it was. It was brisk. You

135
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: were bundled up, you know, hood on as pretty much

136
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: everybody else was over there watching. Mark's out there short sleeves,

137
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: doesn't even have sleeves on.

138
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: I bet he's got a little adrenaline run and here

139
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure he does. He's probably feeling pretty.

140
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: He was one of the few players I will say

141
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: he was out there short sleeves and today's practice, Like

142
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 2: he's a dog and he is out there practice, doesn't

143
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: even need sleeves and yeah, Like the how he looked

144
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: was almost as exciting to me as the fact that

145
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: he was on the field. Like, just getting him back

146
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: there is like, oh man, this is great. Then you

147
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: see how he looks and you're like, oh, this is

148
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: even better.

149
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: Than I realized. This is legit.

150
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: This is legit, and who knows, we'll see if he's

151
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: able to play in the divisional round. Always when guys

152
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: come back from injuries, I think part of it is Okay,

153
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: how do you feel once you're going through practice, But

154
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: then secondly, how do you feel the next day? How

155
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: does it respond, does it swell up? Does anything like

156
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: that happen?

157
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: For sure, we'll see.

158
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: And the fact that he was out there today, more

159
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: than a week before the Ravens are played divisional game,

160
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 2: makes you feel confident about the possibility of him coming

161
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: back next week.

162
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: Well, the reported injury was a cracked fibula, right, So

163
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: once the bone heals, the bone's healed, yeah, right, And

164
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: so it kind of depends, I think on whether there's ligament,

165
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: must whatever damage around that injury, you know, can kind

166
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: of slow down the timeline or whatever. That's I think

167
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: part of what Mark had to work through the other

168
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: parts of a bone fusing.

169
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah right.

170
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: And so if if the bone weren't healed, if he

171
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: weren't right, he wouldn't be out there, Oh, of course not.

172
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: And so I think this is a really good sign.

173
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: We'll hear from head coach John Harball later today and

174
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: he's sure not going to divulge whether Mark's going to

175
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: be ready for the divisional playoffs. That's going to be

176
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: a decision that whatever is left in limbo for the

177
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: next week, Yeah, I'm sure, and of until possibly game

178
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: day and actives.

179
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: Uh huh, and uh, maybe a little theater there.

180
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the time. Well, you know, you know

181
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: all times of the year. I will divulge injury.

182
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: I will say it wouldn't necessarily be game day and

183
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: actives necessarily because they have to make the decision about

184
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: activating him. Now, they could activate him and then not

185
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: play him, but that would be surprising. If they're activating him,

186
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: he's probably going to play if he's taken up a

187
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: spot on the fifty three, So that would have to

188
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: happen by the day before four o'clock, the day before

189
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: their game.

190
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, whoever the Ravens play, they're going

191
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: to have to probably prepare for Mark Andrews, of course,

192
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: just for the possibility he might not play. But you

193
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: want to go into a game plan not ready for

194
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, of course not, so that adds another element

195
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: even if he's not ready to suit up. All right,

196
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: we want to talk about the role for Mark Andrews

197
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: when he comes back and how that impacts the rest

198
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: of the offense. But first, let's say quick break.

199
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 2: We're coming to you from the Seakeek studio. We want

210
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: hundred gambler. So I think a question now is what

211
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: role does Mark play assuming he's able to play in

212
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: the Division round or whenever he gets back on the field.

213
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: Because the Ravens have been their offense has been excellent

214
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: and Isaiah likely has stepped into that tight end role

215
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: and has been electric and he's been highly productive for

216
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: this offense over the course of the last six weeks

217
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: while Mark's been sidelined. So what it like? What do

218
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: you foresee as the role for Mark? And Howard do

219
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: he and likely you know, how do the Ravens divvy

220
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: up snaps between those two guys.

221
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: Well, the thing about it is I don't think you

222
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: want to mess with what the good stuff the Ravens

223
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: have going on right now, right and Isaiah likely is

224
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: playing at a really high level five touchdowns in the

225
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: past six games. What this offers you as an opportunity

226
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: to show opponents, to give opponents something they haven't really

227
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: dealt with much this year at all. Right, so going

228
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, now you have an added wrinkle. Everybody

229
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: has all the tape from the year, they can study

230
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: you up. But what they haven't seen a whole lot

231
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: of is two tight ends, two tight ends sets, two

232
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: tight ends really getting featured in the passing game very much.

233
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been around one hundred snaps that Mark

234
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: Andrews and Isaiah Likely have played together on the field

235
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: at the same time this year. That's not a lot. Yeah, right,

236
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: that's not a lot at all. It's less than two

237
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: games worth of all offensive snaps. And so Todd Munkin

238
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: is a coordinator who has thrived with two tight ends

239
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: flourishing in his systems. That's what it was at Georgia.

240
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: It's what he did that before the Browns, and we

241
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: got a little taste of it early in the season,

242
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: but not a whole lot before Mark Andrews went down. Now,

243
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: with Isaiah likely playing so well in the Return of

244
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: the Big Dog, have an opportunity to really add some

245
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: new wrinkles and dimensions to this Ravens offense that's already clicking. Going.

246
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an I honestly don't know if that's the route, like,

247
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: And maybe there could be elements of that that if

248
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: you can put great players on the field, and if

249
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 2: you feel like Mark and Isaiah are obviously two of

250
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: your best offensive players and you want to find ways

251
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: to put them on the field together, and two really

252
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: good tight ends can create matchup problems, no doubt. But

253
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: I don't know that this offense identity wise, is a

254
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: two tight end offense. Like they had the opportunity to

255
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: do that earlier in the year and they opted not to.

256
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: They opted to lead out before Isaiah likely was it

257
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: was more it was before his emergence when he basically

258
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 2: was given the opportunity, and then he's really thrived. So

259
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 2: maybe they just say, you know, we didn't feel like

260
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: he was ready for it earlier in the year, but

261
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: now he clearly is, and so we want both these

262
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: guys on the field. But I honestly feel like and

263
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: a lot of this I think is dependent on Mark's health. Like,

264
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: there's lots of layers to this that I don't know

265
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: all the details of. But could he play a full

266
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: could he play seven many snaps?

267
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: Like? I don't know. Well, they're not going to evolve

268
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: into a two tight end offense with both those guys

269
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: in the field for fifty snaps now. They're not going

270
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: to totally change their offense. I think that they could

271
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: lean a little bit more into the two tight end

272
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: things that they've already had in the playbook. Maybe they

273
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: add I don't think they're really adding plays at this point,

274
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: but maybe they lean a little bit more into that.

275
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: But to your point, No, they're not going to totally

276
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: blow up the offense because of this. Yeah, right, They're

277
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: not going to become something that they're not, but that

278
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: that's always been there. They just didn't really do a

279
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: whole lot of it before this earlier this year.

280
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I just don't know that they more of it.

281
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe a little bit more, but I don't think

282
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: much more. I really think they're going to continue to

283
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: play their offense. It's been so dynamic, especially this last

284
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: second half of the season. So now I think that, like, so,

285
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 2: then what is the role? So who's who's on the field.

286
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: To me, assuming that Mark is going to need to

287
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: be kind of ramped up here, that he's not necessarily

288
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: going to come back and play sixty snaps right now,

289
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: I was already wrong on my assumption. So he could

290
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: be ready to play six snaps right out of the gate.

291
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: I don't really know, but to me, I feel like

292
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: you would Basically you could build a package for him,

293
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: particularly on third downs and in the red zone, where

294
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: you have a limited snap count as he's working his

295
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: way back to full strength, and that would allow Isaiah

296
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: likely to still be a focal point of the offense.

297
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: And then you get Mark in some really key situations

298
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: where he can make hey as he's done, especially with

299
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 2: those receiving touchdowns, still leads to a league like you

300
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier. So to me, that's more of the route

301
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: rather than Okay, now let's let's introduce more two tight

302
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: end sets. I feel like Morris, here's the Mark package.

303
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: You're going to slice out a certain number of snaps.

304
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: Let's say it's whatever fifteen to twenty. If you were

305
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: to play in the visual round, you're gonna slice that

306
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: out of Isaiah Likelye's bucket for Mark in certain situations,

307
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: basically is what you're saying.

308
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and Charlie Kohler obviously has played snaps too, and

309
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: so Mark would take those and then a portion of

310
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: Isaiah Likele's. You know, it's not that Likely has played

311
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the offensive snaps, so you know

312
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: he cuts in with that. He would take cooler snaps,

313
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: and then he would take a portion of Likelis.

314
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's probably right. I just

315
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: I also you want to see some double tight end stuff. Yeah,

316
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: I expect that there would be more of that. And

317
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: Isaiah likely is lined up in a number of different spots.

318
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: You you know, Mark and line up out wide too.

319
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: Mark is a is a really good and underrated blocker.

320
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: Now does he have the same power and torque and

321
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: all that stuff with his ankle coming back? I don't know.

322
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: You know, you protect that ankle a little bit if

323
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: you put him out wide more. Yeah, but you know

324
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: Mark is an inline blocker. With Isaiah likely he's lined

325
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: up in the backfield, you can split him out wide.

326
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: You know, you can do all that same stuff with

327
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: Mark too. Not so much. The backfield stuff as much.

328
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: But I don't want to take away the creative ways

329
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: that Todd Monkin has used Isaiah Likely to create matchup

330
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: problems and get him the ball in space and all

331
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: that stuff. I don't want to remove that from the

332
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: Ravens all totally. And it's work, it's working great. I

333
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: want to add in the benefits of what Mark gives

334
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: you in terms of a box out guy, contested catches

335
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: stretched the middle of the field. You know, Mark really

336
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: works the middle of the field better than than any El,

337
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: any other Tand perhaps you could say, yeah, right, in

338
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: terms of making contested catches, I say Likely is more

339
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: of a perimeter guy. He's made a lot of plays

340
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. He's a get him in space. So

341
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: I think you can you can use both of those

342
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: guys for what they do best. You can utilize what

343
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: they do best. And so I think there is more

344
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: two side end. Let's get both of these weapons on

345
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: the field. And now, gosh, pick your poison.

346
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think that what we both want to avoid.

347
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: Like earlier in the season, you know before the.

348
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Think of all Likely his plays that he's made, not

349
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: a lot of them have well I'm just saying, like,

350
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: not a lot of them have been in the Mark

351
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: Andrews over the middle of the field, got a defender

352
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: on your back kind of plays. Now he went up

353
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: real high and Jacksonville made that contested catch. I'm not

354
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: saying he hasn't made contested catches the one hand, fourth down,

355
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: those are mostly outside the hash uh huh. You know

356
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews is you're between the ashes guy primarily. Yeah,

357
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: and so, and I'm just not going to rule out

358
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: the possibility that time Monkin gets creative with some stuff

359
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: that opponents have not seen. Yeah, if you can. The

360
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: Ravens have played all of their possible opponents that they're

361
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: going to face in the visual round, so that you

362
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: have an opportunity here to kind of give them some

363
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: different wrinkles. And that's that's a card I would want

364
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: to play.

365
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always interesting, and I don't know there's pros

366
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: and cons to it each way. Do you basically do

367
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: what you're saying, which is roll out some new stuff

368
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: that teams haven't seen. You catch people by surprise and

369
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: also they're not prepared for it.

370
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: I just want to clarify it. By new, I mean

371
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: I think that stuff's been in the playbook, it just

372
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: hasn't been used. Yeah, so maybe you practice that stuff

373
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: more this upcoming week. Blah blah blah.

374
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they haven't used much of it. And so do

375
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: you roll out stuff that you haven't done yet, or

376
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: do you basically and then you have the element of

377
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: surprise and teams aren't necessarily prepared for it. Or do

378
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: you just do what you've done, what you do really well.

379
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: And it's hard to stop because this is this is

380
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: who we are. We're going to play this way and

381
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: we're not gonna get We're not going to start adding

382
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: stuff at this point of the game. We're not gonna

383
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: we're not gonna put in these new wrinkles. We want

384
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: to perfect what we've already done really well. I think

385
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: that that's like a coaching conundrum that sometimes they have

386
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: Todd Munkin and the offensive coaches will have to decide.

387
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's an either or. I

388
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: think you can do some of both. Right, you want

389
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: to perfect what you've been really good at. And whenever

390
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: you tailor a game plan, it's opponents specific, right, and

391
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: so if they see opportunities when they look at who

392
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: whoever's defense we're going to face and they say, hey,

393
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: we have some two tight end opportunities here. They haven't.

394
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: This is something they haven't seen before. We think we

395
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: can get them with this. I always expect that Tom

396
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: Monkin will put him in.

397
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: I think that so Isaiah likely had nine catches and

398
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: think of the first six games for the Ravens, and

399
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: so that's not what you like. He has clearly proven

400
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 2: that he deserves a bigger piece of the pie than

401
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: he had in the first half of the season. And

402
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: four of those catches came in a blowout against Seattle,

403
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: you know, when he kind of stepped in some mop

404
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 2: up time there. So he has proven that he deserves

405
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: his share of targets and attention. And so I think that,

406
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: like you want to to your point, you want to

407
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: you don't want to lose that. You want to maintain

408
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: what we've seen from Isaiah over the course of the

409
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: last eight weeks, and you want to add back in

410
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: Mark's dynamic ability as a trusted weapon of Lamar Jackson,

411
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: who can make plays happen in the biggest moments, like

412
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: if it's third and six and it's in the fourth

413
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: quarter of the division round game and it's a tie game.

414
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: I want Mark Andrews on the field, assuming he's able

415
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: to play that game. I want I want him on

416
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: the field, work in the middle of the field and

417
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: moving the change like.

418
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: I want both of them, Isaiah, Like, did you miss

419
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: the fourth and seven one handed catch back there they took.

420
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: For there's your double type both, there's your double tight

421
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: end set all double tight end, baby heavy package. That's

422
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: the rest of the way. So look, I think Odell.

423
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior is going to make a lot of those

424
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: catches down the stretch here too.

425
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: He is, And I think that that's and that's part

426
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: of what makes this challenging for the rape picks.

427
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and it's a challenging for the opponent. So

428
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: let's pick your poison. The Ravens offense becomes more challenge

429
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it seems simple to say, but they

430
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: become harder to defend because now that's one more guy

431
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: that you got to give a lot of attention to,

432
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: and that's less attention that you can give to obij

433
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: To Isaiah likely to say Flowers through shat Bateman. You know,

434
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: there's going to be more one on one opportunities.

435
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just great. I mean, honestly, just having Mark

436
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: Andrews back in the mix is just such a great

437
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: thing for this team. I think that like it. It

438
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 2: has shades of Ray Lewis coming back from his injury

439
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: in twenty twelve. When Ray went down with his injury

440
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 2: in the middle of that season, it was similar, likely

441
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: season ending. Don't think he's going to be back, Best

442
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: of luck Ray, and then all of a sudden, right

443
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: before the playoffs, Ray's back in the field. Now, Ray

444
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: also announced his retirement. We have not heard Mark Andrews

445
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 2: announced retirement. I don't think that's going to happen. But

446
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: it really had a galvanizing effect for the entire team,

447
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: and I think that this has the potential to be

448
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: something similar.

449
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would totally agree from an emotional standpoint that

450
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: definitely uh boosted the Ravens defense and and Mark is

451
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: to the Ravens offense. I think what I mean, Ray

452
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: was a team leader. He was the team leader. Yeah right,

453
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: Mark is definitely one of the Ravens top leaders. And

454
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: on the offense, like he kind of like I said,

455
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: he's in some ways the heartbeat Lamar has become I

456
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: think a more he definitely has become a more vocal leader,

457
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: more outspoken, all that stuff. But like when you talk

458
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: about locked in and how locked in Lamar has been,

459
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: which have been the the key words that everybody's been

460
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: using about Lamar Jackson, there is there ain't nobody that's

461
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: more locked in than Mark Andrews. And so I think

462
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: kind of to my other point is just like it

463
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: adds this feeling of we have all we need. We

464
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,760
