The Ravens beat the Dallas Cowboys, thirty 22 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: one to thirteen for their second preseason win. And Shewby, 23 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: this this really was kind of top to bottom. I thought, 24 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: a very dominant performance. I mean, the score says it all. 25 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: And a lot of good takeaways for the Ravens tonight. 26 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: And let's start with the hometown story the field. Good 27 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: story of the night, Tyler Loop making five field goals 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: tonight on his six attempts back home. It was it 29 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: was his first NFL road game, but it was kind 30 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: of like a homecoming because he grew up in kind 31 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: of the Dallas suburbs, you know, about forty minutes away. 32 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: So had a lot of family there. The Loop Loop 33 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: there it is. Signs were out in full force. I 34 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 2: give you, Shelby. 35 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was you know during the 36 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: training camp live when you I think you might get 37 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: some credit for that. 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: Hey, I'm just glad. It's everyone's kind of jumped on it. 39 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: And obviously you saw the signs tonight. Rod Woodson kept 40 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: promoting T shirts being made, so I'm just happy that 41 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 3: it's being used. 42 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: So great night for Tyler Loop. 43 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: And afterwards, John Harball officially announced that he has won 44 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: the kicking job, which is no surprise. I mean, he's 45 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: the only kicker on the roster right now, so you 46 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: know that's one indicator, and he's just performed very well, 47 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: and so he will be the Ravens kicker in twenty 48 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: twenty five. You know, I'm sure there will be a 49 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: lot of ups, there will be some downs, but you 50 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: gotta like what you've seen from the rookie kicker, even 51 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: responding to some of those tougher moments which he had tonight. 52 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, he missed a fifty yard field goal that 53 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: was kind of the one blemish on the feel good story, 54 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: but then came back after that and made a fifty 55 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: plus yarder. So really good performance from Tyler Loop. 56 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, we saw that resiliency in that first preseason game two. 57 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: He had two field goal attempts, he missed one, made 58 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: his second one, so being able to come back from that, 59 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: and I was so glad he got that other chance. 60 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: He missed that fifty yarder on attempt number five. He 61 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: had already made four field goals on the night, so 62 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: to see him come back, get the chance to kick 63 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: from longer from fifty three yards and then to make it, 64 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: it was just really good to see again his longest 65 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: of the night was fifty three yards. It was a 66 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 3: cool night for him. And you know, it is a 67 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 3: hostile environment. It is the preseason, so you know, this 68 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: isn't Buffalo in Week one, this isn't Kansas City in 69 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: week four. But still really good to see him go 70 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: out on the road in an atmosphere he well, technically 71 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: he has been at this stadium before when his high 72 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: school played there, but he never kicked a field goal 73 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 3: in that game, never kicked an extra points. So to 74 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: see him go out tonight in his first road game 75 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: gain some confidence again. Five made field goals, was perfect 76 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 3: on extra points. It was really good to see from 77 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: from the rookie kicking. 78 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: You make five field goals in a game, it's a 79 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: good night for a kicker. It's as simple as that. 80 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: And and and I agree with you. I think you know, 81 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit here and call 82 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: Dallas preseason game hostile, but I think that, like, you know, 83 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: you're in a road stadium, your site, your you're aiming 84 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: points are different right than at M and T Banks Stadium. 85 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: You know, you don't get to go out there the 86 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: day before and take a bunch of practice kicks in 87 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: that stadium, and so you know that that's just a 88 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: new exp sperience for any rookie kicker and you're on 89 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: the big stage that is Dallas, you know what I mean. 90 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: Like it's just it's just a new environment. And so 91 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: I think for him to kick that well is a 92 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: very good sign. I'm sure he wants a perfect night, 93 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: you know what I'm like, right, the way it kind 94 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: of works for you know a kicker is like you 95 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: miss one and you're bombs, especially when like he's been 96 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: making ninety percent of his kicks in practice, right, Like 97 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: you have a miss, you're like, dang. But so I'm 98 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: sure that like there's still more to reach for, you know, 99 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: for Tyler Loot. But overall, I think you got to say, 100 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: really great night for the rookie kicker. 101 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see two if because they came 102 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: out and said he kind of stubbed his toe on 103 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: that one in the in the first preseason game. If 104 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 3: there was something mechanically that went wrong in that one, 105 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 3: it was wide left. You know you're inside there's not 106 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: gonna be wins. So I will be curious to see 107 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: if if once they watched the film if they figure 108 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 3: out what they can fix there. 109 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: And honestly, like, I think this is just kind of 110 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: what we're gonna get from a rookie kicker, right like 111 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: and and honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the guy 112 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: is one of the leading field goal percentage you know, 113 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: has some one of the highest field goal percentages in 114 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: the league when all of a sudden done. But like, 115 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: you know, I think that we in Baltimore have been 116 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: spoiled for a long time by Justin Tucker, the greatest 117 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: of all time. And like it's hard to expect that 118 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: Tydle Loop's gonna come in and instantaneously be the goat, 119 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: you know, like be the best kicker in the league. 120 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: Like he's gonna have some misses. The way he responds 121 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: to this misses is critical for him early in his 122 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: career and and I think he's gonna have a very 123 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: successful rookie season. So another guy who had a good 124 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: night tonight in another homecoming, Coop Cooper Rush going back 125 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: to Texas. You know, he played seven seasons for the Cowboys, 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: spent eight years there and uh, you know it was 127 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: it was a tough first preseason game for Cooper and 128 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: had the pick on his first throw and just didn't 129 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: get many opportunities in that first preseason game against the Colts. 130 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: Came back tonight and had a full half's worth of action, 131 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: played the entire first half, went twenty of thirty three 132 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: for one hundred and ninety eight yards, one touchdown, two interceptions. 133 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: I think his knight honestly was better than the stat 134 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: line shows. 135 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean for him to come back, we 136 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: talked about Tyler Loop being resilient, and for Cooper to 137 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: come back and do something, I mean, you just look 138 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: at the numbers and in that first preseason game, the 139 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: Ravens had forty nine total passing yards in the entire game, 140 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty six total yards. So then for 141 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: Cooper to come in in just the first half and 142 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 3: have one hundred and ninety eight passing yards two hundred 143 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 3: and seventy three total yards for the Ravens in just 144 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: that first half, I mean, you liked what you saw. 145 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: Cooper was connecting with tes Walker a lot. The run 146 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: game was going and it was just a really bad attack. 147 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: I thought that it was important for Cooper rush because 148 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens a they made a pretty big 149 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: investment in him this offseason to say like you're gonna 150 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: be our guy, and we're gonna invest more than we 151 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: have and at backup quarterback, and you want to come 152 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: in you're new to this team. You want everybody to 153 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: have the confidence in you. And you know if Lamar 154 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 1: Jackson goes down, that the Ravens are still in good hands, 155 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: that they can still win ballgames. And and I think 156 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: that Cooper had performed well enough in training camp to 157 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: for coaches to say like, yeah, you know he's a pro, 158 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: Like we know what this guy is. 159 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: He's a proven winner as a backup quarterback. 160 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: But until you really do it in front of your 161 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: teammates and in front of your coaches with your new 162 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: team like that, it hasn't been done, you know what 163 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean. And so I think this is an important 164 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: game for Cooper Rush, not only just going back to 165 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: Dallas and having a good performance back in his old 166 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: stomping grounds, but really for more what he showed his 167 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: current team in that like you know what, if something 168 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: knock on wood, nothing happens. But if I'm forced into action, 169 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: like I can play at a at a good high level, right, 170 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: like play well enough to win games that's the job 171 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: of a backup quarterback. We're not asking to go in 172 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: late the world on fire, you know you're not. You're 173 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: not expected to play to Lamar Jackson's level, but go 174 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: in and play well enough to win football games. And 175 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: like with the talent around you, with the defense the 176 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: Ravens have. I think the level of play that Cooper 177 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: Rush played at tonight, like that's winning football, to be honest. Now, 178 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: the winning part of it wasn't. Was the non winning part. 179 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: I should say the two interceptions, but I honestly like, 180 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: don't put a lot of that on Cooper Rush. 181 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 3: The one definitely wasn't right. 182 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: The one bounced off Rushi, not Lee's hands, I mean 183 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: definitely not the other one. I think it was a 184 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: third down situation. He was trying to make a play 185 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: and made a throat to Lejonte. Western Western was blanketed. 186 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: But the cornerback Andrew Bruth for the Cowboys, really made 187 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: a better play on the ball than Lejonte did. You know, 188 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: Lejonte just never got his head around, didn't seem to 189 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: locate the football. The cornerback did picked it off pick six. 190 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: Like that one. You can put as much on Western 191 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: you know, Western really did not separate at all. Now, 192 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: should Cooper have you know, he kind of gave his 193 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: receiver a chance. Should he not have thrown that ball 194 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: given that he was kind of blanketed. Sure you can 195 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: make that argument maybe, but. 196 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: Like that, that one kind. 197 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: Of goes in both players ledgers. To be honest, all right, 198 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned tes Walker. I thought, I think Devantees Man. 199 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: I mean, we've been talking about him all summer long, 200 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: and now you get to preseason games and the dude 201 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: just keeps on ball and six catches for sixty one yards. 202 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: I mean the first Ravens first offensive play, Cooper Rushian 203 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: Devantees Walker, Like, it was clear they wanted to after 204 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: the passing game was pretty anemic last week. They wanted 205 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: to get the passing game going. 206 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, Devonte's Walker didn't even have a reception 207 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: last week, so this was that was his first reception 208 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 3: of the preseason, a seventeen yard catch, and then he 209 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 3: had six more catches, six total catches for sixty one 210 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 3: yards in the first half. So I think getting that 211 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 3: passing game going was important. But also seeing tes who's 212 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 3: had a really good camp and has had some highlight 213 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 3: reel plays it was exciting to see him do that 214 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 3: in a preseason game and show that, yes, this is 215 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 3: a stacked wide receiver room that the Ravens have, but 216 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: he you know, he's he's making a name for him. 217 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: I like too, that we saw from devontees is just 218 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: a very varied types of plays. 219 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: You know. 220 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: The out that he caught on third down was a 221 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: really great catch, tight coverage, good sideline catch. It's not 222 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: just like, all right, you're just seeing Devonte's run past 223 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: people because we all know he's fast. And it's not 224 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: just that like the nuance the route running that we're 225 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: seeing from him making a contested catch like you know, 226 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: we're seeing the total package, honestly from devontees Walker. And 227 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: and I think that it naturally leads to the question 228 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: of how do he get this guy involved? You know, 229 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,239 Speaker 1: I mean, you have the clear top three wide receivers 230 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: and Zay Flowers or Shot Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. But 231 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: the more that Devontes Walker makes plays in practice and 232 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: now in preseason games, the more you think does Todd 233 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: Munkin look in that playbook and say, all right, these 234 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: four wide receiver sets do we want to call these? 235 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: Do we want to dial these up a little more often. 236 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: How do we how do we get some plays in 237 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: there and some opportunities for Devontes Walker. You know, another 238 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: position group here that I think Todd Munkin is gonna 239 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: have to look at is his running backs. You know, 240 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: I think you talk about depth at wide receiver, at 241 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: running back, it's looking extremely deep. Obviously you have Derrick Henry, 242 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: Justice Sillier one two. Keaton Mitchell's really almost like your 243 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: two B. You know the way he's been playing. Uh, 244 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: he would take up the third roster spot there, and 245 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: then Rashena Lee and Deannest Johnson with Miles Gaskin kind 246 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: of the end. They really handled the duties and Rashina 247 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: Lee got a lot of run in this game. Nineteen 248 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: carries for sixty two yards, had e eleven yard long. 249 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was a good night for Rashine overall. 250 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: We talked about the one interception off his hands, that's 251 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: the blemish, but in terms of him as a runner, 252 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: I think the guy's got good vision, a number of cutbacks, 253 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, found the open lane. I think that he 254 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: runs with some power, gets downhill, gets north south. I 255 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: thought it was overall a good night for Rashine. 256 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he finished with sixty two rushing yards 257 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 3: and that first drive it just seemed like it was 258 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 3: Cooper and Tez or Cooper handing it to Rashene to 259 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: run down the field. He had twenty eight yards on 260 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 3: that first offensive drive and really just building off the 261 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: momentum from last preseason game for Rashina Lee. I think, 262 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 3: you know, he had a touchdown in that game. He 263 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: had a great return in that game. So to see 264 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 3: him come in a way environment and have another good performance. 265 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 3: And coach Harbough actually maybe not made an announcement, but 266 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 3: said in the postgame press conference that right now the 267 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 3: plan is to carry four running backs. 268 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: The question I have about that is, I'm not sure 269 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: how Pat Ricard is classified. So if Patrick Ricard is 270 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: included in the running backs group, that's always the question 271 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: with Pat whenever you're doing your fifty three man roster predictions, 272 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: do you put him with the running backs or do 273 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: you put them with the tight ends? Right, So, are 274 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: we carrying four tight ends or are we carrying four 275 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: running backs? Or you know, if you include him in 276 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: the running backs, are you keeping five? 277 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 278 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Like John Harvel said, the plan as of now is 279 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: keep four running backs. I think that keeping four guys 280 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: plus Pat, that's a lot like that. I would be 281 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: a little bit surprised if that ends up being the case. 282 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: But who knows. 283 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: Maybe I I just don't know how he's defining that. 284 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: That's That's what I'll throw out there. 285 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: It's but Rashina Lee, I think he's he's making a case, 286 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And uh and so I 287 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see how all that goes down. 288 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: All right, Shelby, let's take a break now. When we 289 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: come back, we'll flip it over to the defensive side. 290 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: We've been given the offense a lot of love here 291 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: so far, but it was a dominant defensive performance for 292 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens tonight in Dallas. 293 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to Lounge.

The only starters were Malachi 308 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: Starks because he's a rookie and you want to just 309 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: get him as many reps as possible within reason. And 310 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: then Trenton Sipson at inside linebacker. There's the only projected 311 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: starters that played. And yet the Ravens totally put the 312 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: clamps on the Dallas Cowboys. They only had one hundred 313 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: and seventy six total yards and in the first half. 314 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: What was the stat here, I'm pulling it up. Thirty 315 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: one yards for the Dallas Cowboys in the first half 316 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: of this football game. That is pretty spectacular. It's just 317 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: a really two things for me. I see like the 318 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: confidence and the swagger of this group and under Zach 319 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: Orr in his second year, like I just I just 320 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: see it coming together and it's like from top to bottom. Like, 321 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: I just think that this whole unit has like a 322 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: good mojo and that that's beyond just like the talent 323 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: of the starters. 324 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 2: And I think part of it's like Zach Worr. 325 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: You know, you dial up a blitz that gets an 326 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: unblocked safety, that's a good thing for example. And then 327 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 1: like secondly, I think that the Ravens do have just 328 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: a lot of talent and depth in their defense, Like 329 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: you see the levels that they have, and so I thought, 330 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: a really good night for them. 331 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 2: Shelby. 332 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I think that's what I really like about 333 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 3: this Ravens defense is, yes, obviously the starters are not 334 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: playing in this game, but even in these preseason games, 335 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 3: it's not like you're only hearing the names of Malachi 336 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 3: Starks and Mike Green. There have been a lot of 337 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 3: unsung heroes, which has been really cool. You mentioned Dallas's 338 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 3: offense in the first half. I mean they were starting 339 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 3: their third offensive drive and they had negative five yards total. 340 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 3: So that just tells you how good this defense was, 341 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: especially in the first half. And to get things started 342 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: with a safety, I mean Keon Martin, you know, he 343 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 3: makes the five yard lost tackle and then he goes 344 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: untouched on the blitz just to get that safety in 345 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 3: the end zone. And it was really exciting to see 346 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: him come up with that play. He's an undrafted rookie 347 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 3: out of Louisiana Lafayette and I think you tweeted out 348 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 3: tweeted it out, Mink. But just seeing how excited zach 349 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 3: Or gets for these guys is one of the best 350 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 3: parts of. 351 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 2: Watching these to really agree. 352 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, And then later in the game, Ruben Lowry, who 353 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about on this podcast, you know, 354 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: the undrafted rookie from Tennessee chat Nuga with the interception 355 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: really kind of the you know, the Ravens had the 356 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: interception off of Alli's hands, and then very next play 357 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: you can see John Harvell on the sideline he's kind 358 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: of all right, you know, this is a change of possession, 359 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: like here we go, Like this is kind of it's 360 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: something that they test their defense on. Is like sudden change. 361 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: How do you respond to sudden You're thrust onto the 362 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: field unexpectedly, how do you respond? And oftentimes the other 363 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,239 Speaker 1: team will use that opportunity to take a shot, like 364 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: you'll see them go try to go deep on you 365 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: in sudden change and Ruben Lowry sniffed that out and 366 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: the undrafted rookie from Tennessee Chattanooga just perfect spot leaping interception. 367 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 2: Great play. 368 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about him a lot, like I said, 369 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: because he's just made plays like this all summer long. 370 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: Just a guy that seems to have a nose for 371 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: the football. 372 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: And at this point, I feel like Ruben Lowry has 373 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: a very good shot at making the fifty three. I'll 374 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: just a preview my final roster predictions. Now I'm gonna 375 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: put him on. Like I think that the versatility and 376 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: you keep making plays like there's something to it, Like 377 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: you can play the numbers game all you want, and 378 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: then sometimes at the end of the day you just 379 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: come down to it and you're like, you know what, 380 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: this guy played well enough over the summer, Like he 381 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: made enough plays. He earned it, And to me, Ruben Lowry, 382 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: it's made enough place. And so I think that he's 383 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: I think he's in a good position. 384 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: And you also have to think in just a week, 385 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 3: the Ravens lost two six round draft picks in that secondary, 386 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: and so for guys like Lowry and Kean to step up, 387 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 3: and I mean, that's what the Ravens are all about 388 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 3: next man up, and so it was really good to 389 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: see them come up with some big plays in another 390 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: preseason game. 391 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: Then we'll look at inside linebacker. I thought Teddy Buchanan, 392 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: the fourth round pick flashed for me tonight, had several tackles. 393 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: I thought noticed him on special teams, four tackles, one 394 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: quarterback hit. He was good in coverage on one play, 395 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: and I thought it was a good night for Teddy. 396 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: And then also undrafted rookie inside linebacker Jay Higgins the 397 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: fourth and another strong game for him. I mean, he 398 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: closed out the first preseason game, he had an interception 399 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: as well as a past deflection that really kind of 400 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: sealed that win for the Ravens against the Colts. And 401 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: now coming up with a sack strip tonight in Dallas. 402 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: You know, is he playing well enough where you have 403 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: to say, can we find a spot on the fifty 404 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: three for Jay Higgins? 405 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: I think that's a question that remains me seen. 406 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 3: Well to quote Rod Woodson because he kept saying it tonight, 407 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 3: but I don't know what better way to put it. 408 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: Teddy Bucannon just looks like a football player. He is smart, 409 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 3: he's communicating, he's all over the field. So it's really 410 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 3: good to see Teddy continue to grow and learn in 411 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: the NFL. And yeah, Jay Higgins has has been impressive, 412 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 3: and like you said, is he making a name for 413 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 3: himself to make it on this fifty three man roster year. 414 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: There's obviously a long history of undrafted inside linebackers that 415 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: make the team, and you don't necessarily have to, like, 416 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to. 417 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: I think that we all kind of get called. 418 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: Up and making these fifty three man roster predictions and 419 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: we get a little carried away and like you forget that. Okay, 420 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: there's there's other ways to make the team. You can 421 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: make the practice squad and guys can go for the 422 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: practice squad to the fifty three. Like you know, if 423 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: you don't make the fifty three, that's not the end 424 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: of your football career by any stretching imagination. And so 425 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: like the guy like Jay Higgins even if he if 426 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: he doesn't make it, because I think, you know the math, 427 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: it would be tough to see more than four inside 428 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: linebackers there with Roquan Trent and Simpson, J. Cummell the 429 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: Veterans special team's ace, and then obviously Teddy Buchannan. I mean, 430 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: the question is can he force him to keep a fifth. 431 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: I think it's it's gonna be a number scrunch. I 432 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: think that'd be tough. But like, even if he's on 433 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: the practice squad, I think that that's a guy that 434 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: maybe can develop and become something. I mean, heck is 435 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, was undrafted, you know, and so you know, 436 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: Jay Higgins keeps making plays. This is a highly accomplished 437 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: college football player at Iowa. I mean, this stude was 438 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: an All American and so he's certainly showing that he 439 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: can play at this level and I'm excited for his 440 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: potential now. Shelby to the negatives of the night, the 441 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: Ravens did have an injury. Outside linebacker Desa Isaac, the 442 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: second year player, suffered a dislocated elbow. Like good Sean 443 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: Harball said he will miss a few weeks at least, 444 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: and so it's just a tough blow for a guy 445 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: that you know, missed the vast majority of his rookie 446 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: season with multiple injuries, including a hamstring injury predominantly, and 447 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: you know, to see him suffer the setback after I 448 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: think he's had a good summer. I think that he's 449 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: like proven himself this summer, but to have this setback, 450 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: it's a tough blow for him. 451 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 3: It is, and we saw him he got a sack 452 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 3: last week and that was exciting to see. And so 453 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: he's a young player and you hate to see injuries. 454 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 3: But hopefully we see him back sooner than later. 455 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at it from a fifty three 456 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: man roster composition, as we'll have a lot of these 457 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: conversations over the next week. I think that it does 458 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: kind of solidify David Ajabo's path to the to making 459 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: the fifty three. I think there was a little bit 460 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: of a question still there. You know, beyond your top 461 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: four guys obviously Kyle van noy at off Aoa, Tavius 462 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: Robinson and the rookie Mike Green or you're kind of 463 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: your top four, and then beyond that, how many outside 464 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: linebackers can. 465 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: You keep five? I would think I would certainly think five, 466 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 2: but could they keep six? 467 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: You know? So the question was Kenna Desa and David 468 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: Ajabo both make the fifty three. I think with the 469 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: Disa going down, you know they'll he'll be put on 470 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: one of the injury lists and then we'll see most 471 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: likely David Ajavo, who I think probably would have made 472 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: it anyway, but it's certainly I think clears the spot 473 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: for him. And and then does it does that open 474 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: up you know, a spot It doesn't necessarily have to 475 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: be Okay, another outside linebackers takes that, is that another 476 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: defensive back is that the Ruben Lowry spot is the 477 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: fourth running back spot that we talked about earlier. You know, 478 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: I mean like there's kind of these ripple effects that 479 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: happen when you unfortunately have injuries, kind of like the 480 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: two cornerbacks, the six round corners. You know, what's the 481 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: ripple effect of that? And so you know, another guy 482 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: that bleek Ham does, does it open a spot for him? 483 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: I Mean, here's a guy who season ending injuries the 484 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: past two years, maybe the fifty three as a rookie, 485 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: as an undrafted rookie two years ago. Is one of 486 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 1: the best stories of training camp. Baltimore kid Rams are 487 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: his favorite team. You know, grew up coming out to 488 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: the stadium practice, you know, like it was awesome and 489 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: then like suffers this injury and now he gets a sack. 490 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 2: Toite and looked really good. 491 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so could he make it. I don't know, 492 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 1: we'll see, so a lot of questions to be answered 493 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: over the next week. Sticking on injuries, Shelby Keaton Mitchell. 494 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: He's been out of practice all this week, which I 495 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: think fans were kind of wondering what's going on with 496 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: Keaton didn't play in tonight's preseason game. John Harwell after 497 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: the game said Keaton's dealing with a hamstring injury doesn't 498 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: seem like anything major. Said that he has a chance 499 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: to return to practice this week and if he doesn't, 500 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: even if he doesn't return this week, that he'll be 501 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: good for Week one in Buffalo. So I think that's 502 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of relieving news.
