1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: On this week's Booth Review. There are no moral victories.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: Hopefully the defense will have a better day, but that

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Ravens offense London might be the best at Washington Sees

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: all year.

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 3: And we'll take a look ahead of this week's game

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 3: against the Carolina Panthers and why this is a bigger

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 3: game than yesterday against the Baltimore Ravens.

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: It's all coming up on the Booth Review. Welcome to

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: this week's edition of the Booth Review podcast. I Braham

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: Weinstein with one of the greatest linebackers of all time,

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: London Fletcher.

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: This is weird.

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: London didn't spend a month we had lost, so we're

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: doing a review of a game the Commanders actually lost

15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: this week to a very good Baltimore Ravens team.

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: Now it's definitely a feeling of like, man, are we

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 3: really at this point that winning thing?

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: Man?

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: I got used to that. I don't know about you,

20
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: but it feels good to win. But obviously that wasn't

21
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: the case yesterday. On my flight back home to Charlotte,

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: I was just kind of reflecting on the game and

23
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: where we are at as a as a team, as

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: a franchise, as a kind of fan.

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: Base, and I'm actually still optimistic.

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: About where we are, and you know, we'll get into

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: the Ravens and what we think about them, but it

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: definitely is not not the thing, the money we've grown

29
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 3: accustomed to over the last month.

30
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I want to start with this. I mean,

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: because we don't know what's going on with John or Dorance.

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: You played in what two hundred and fifty six consecutive games.

33
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: I wonder if you're going to get a call from

34
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: DQ this week because we took a couple of injuries.

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Who knows, So hold on, hold on, bron all Right,

36
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: So you mentioned Doris Ordog and Jonathan Allen, two defensiveliaminate

37
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: or injured, Bobby Wagner and Frankie Louvu.

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: They're healthy, so you think, I know, I put on

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: some weights. So you want toything go what you said, It.

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: Was not a fat joke, it really was. It was

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: actually trying to be complimentary of you and make a

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: snarky joke. That's not going to happen.

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: So so myb buddies, my former even former teammates that

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: were there that I played with, friend and Smooth, you know,

45
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: some of the other guys I played with they would

46
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: have took that as a fletch.

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: We need a couple of d liven That's all right,

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: that's all right.

49
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm hopen As we're taping this, we don't know

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: what the situation is with John R. Dort, so hopefully

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: we'll get some good news on both of their injuries

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: as we move forward.

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: Into the Carolina game this week.

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's focus back in on the Ravens game

55
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: a little bit. Where Listen, this is a team that's

56
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: been in the playoffs five of the last six years,

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: seventeen of the last twenty five. They are very stable.

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: They've had same front office structure for a very long time,

59
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: Harbaugh's second longest tenured coach, seventeenth year, same owner for

60
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: a long time.

61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: They have a unicorn quarterback.

62
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: Like I think, you know what you get with a

63
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: team like that, And therefore, I think why this felt

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: like such a big game yesterday.

65
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: So I want to go spin z out.

66
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: A little bit here because I'll be honest with you,

67
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: like I follow, you know what the media is going

68
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: to say about the team afterwards, and they could have

69
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: focused on a couple of things, and they seem to

70
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: have focused more that Washington, went toe to toe with them,

71
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: were in a one score game, saw the quarterback go

72
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: toe to toe with an MVP quarterback, and decided not

73
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: to overly focus on four hundred and eighty four yards

74
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: given up. So I think both of these things are true.

75
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: But to your point, I think people remained very optimistic

76
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: that they saw what five in the offense can do

77
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: and went toe to toe in a place where not

78
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: a lot of teams win.

79
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 3: Frankly, yeah, No, you're definitely right when you I guess

80
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: when the schedule first came out and you saw where

81
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: we are as a recalibration, whatever you want to call it,

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: new ownership, new gen, new front office, new head coach,

83
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: over fifty percent, a roster completely turned over, and you

84
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: saw the Ravens on the schedule, like you know where

85
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: they've been in the number one seed in AFC a

86
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: year ago, where we won what three games last year

87
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: four games? I can't even remember it was. I tried

88
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: to wipe that out of my memory bank. But you

89
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: saw that on the schedule and you're like, okay, can

90
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: we go in there kind of be a little bit competitive.

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: This is prior to the season and the way guys

92
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 3: you know, have played recently and going on that four

93
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: game winn streak, You're like, Okay, Baltimore, isn't.

94
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: That they're up here on paper? We're down here.

95
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: But then after you go in there and you see

96
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: it end up being just a one score game, you

97
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: feel pretty good about where we're.

98
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Where we are right now.

99
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: But I think you also have to look and say,

100
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: we still need there's a lot more room for improvement.

101
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: I think coach Quinn will say that with the guy,

102
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: there'll be some get some things that he takes away

103
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: from the football game. You're like, man, I really like this.

104
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: Love the way we competed, love the way we did this,

105
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 3: love the way we did that. But these are some

106
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: areas where we definitely hit need to improve, you know,

107
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: to get to where we're at, the point where the

108
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: Ravens aren't as a as a perennial Super Bowl contender,

109
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: a team that could represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

110
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

111
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I think largely like they were a good

112
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: litmus type. I didn't like measuring stick. I thought it

113
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: was the I thought we're just kind of too early

114
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: in this process to use terminology. And I think the

115
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: team like that either but I thought litmus test of

116
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: where this is through five games, because it really thought

117
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: Dan could was very honest about it last Friday. It

118
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: was like the good elephant in the room. This is

119
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: happening faster than you thought it would write, and he

120
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: kind of acknowledged, you know, it's all new, all these

121
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: new players. We are trying to instill a new culture.

122
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: We do think we have a special player at quarterback,

123
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: but you know it's baked in that it's going to

124
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: take some time. It's the NFL, and it seemed to

125
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: be coming along at a really expedited pace, which was

126
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: really good. And that's why we landed on this game

127
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: where you go for the first sixer on the road.

128
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: This is the hardest one of all of them, because

129
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: this is a team that's been there, done that, and

130
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: looks like the type of team that, at least on

131
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: one side of the ball, could compete for a championship. Again,

132
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: let's find out where they are. And I think in

133
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: the end, when you look at the scoreboard and you

134
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: go thirty to twenty three, it feels like it was momentum.

135
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: But and I assume you kind of feel the same way.

136
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: But what Dan said to us coach Quinn said to

137
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: us in the postgame press conference, in the interview we

138
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: did with him, and even what he said in the

139
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: press conference was there were parts of this and this

140
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: I thought was honest and acknowledging what happened that was

141
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: quote unquote lopsided. And he's talking about the way the

142
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: Ravens were able to move the ball on him. Defensively,

143
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: that's the number one offense in the league. But you're

144
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: gonna give up four hundred and eighty four yards to anybody,

145
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: and it's not just running, it's not just passing. You're

146
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: gonna have a hard time getting to the level that

147
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: the Ravens are at.

148
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So when you look at the Ravens last six possessions, touchdown, touchdown,

149
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 3: field goal, touchdown, field goal, end of game where they

150
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: were driving and they ran out the clock.

151
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: I looked at it.

152
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: I rewatched the game this morning a little bit, watch

153
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: the defensive side, and because that was to decide that

154
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: I wanted to focus on first and foremost to see, Okay,

155
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: where were the breakdowns, Where were the things that we

156
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: need to do.

157
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: Better at first and foremost?

158
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: I thought there were some communication eras that happened in

159
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: that ball game that we had seen during that four

160
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: game winning streaking, and there was a confusion on a

161
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: couple of different different plays. From a passing game standpoint,

162
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: the Ravens there, they got goot good football players. Eight

163
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: flowers is a problem. They're going to win their fair

164
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: share of matches.

165
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: But the.

166
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: Part where I think Joe Witt will kind of be

167
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: really disappointed is some of the miscommunications. There were a

168
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: couple coverage busts where those things we kind of felt

169
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: like and I'm sure they felt like we're behind them.

170
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: If you go back to the Tampa Bay game, the

171
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: first game of the season, that there were some issues

172
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: like that that kind of crept back up in this game.

173
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: From a coverage standpoint, they'll probably do some things, Hey,

174
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: from a technique standpoint that you could have played this

175
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: a little bit different from a technique standpoint, giving yourself

176
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: a better chance to win that down. From a covered standpoint,

177
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: there were some gap fit issues in the running game

178
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: where you know, guys who didn't necessarily stay in their

179
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: responsibilities and they got some they got some runs that

180
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: that that hurt us in that ball game. And Derek

181
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: Henry is a monster, but you can't help him by

182
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: not being where you need to be. So when you

183
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: look at that and you say, are these places where

184
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: we need different personnel it's just an off season issue

185
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: or is this just hey, guys, we still are in

186
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: the midst of the season, and these are things that

187
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: we can get corrected right now. I say yes, looking

188
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: at that film, the communication eras, the kind of lapses

189
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: or technique, the deals you can you can get those

190
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: corrected right now, and guys saying and playing in their

191
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: correct responsibility when it comes to stopping a run.

192
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Those are things that can be corrected right now during

193
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: this season.

194
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: So when you look at and they call it up

195
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: tell the truth Monday or whatever, when you tell the

196
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: truth Monday, those are the things that they're going to

197
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: talk about in that meeting room.

198
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Flowers matchup for a moment,

199
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: because he had obviously a huge first half, and like,

200
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: if you're going in and you're facing the Ravens, you've

201
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: got to try to limit their run game. I mean,

202
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: they came in averaging two hundred and eleven yards a

203
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: game in the modern NFL on the ground, that's stupid

204
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: like that, it's an absurd number. It really is like

205
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: in the modern when he's throwing the ball so much,

206
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: it's an absurd number to have that. So they have

207
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: this kind of unstoppable part of their offense. The one

208
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: thing that Washington defense did really well yesterday was they

209
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: limited Lamar on the ground like he was eleven for

210
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: forty something like that. So they limited him big day

211
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: through the air though, And you could tell early Washington

212
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: was committed to trying to do at least slow down

213
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: the Ravens run, and the numbers were there, but in

214
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: the end when asked to go out and get matched

215
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: up with those receivers, couldn't really handle it. There were

216
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 2: five receivers for the Ravens that had at least thirteen

217
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: yards per catch. Five like that means everybody's getting chunk

218
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: plays off of them. And the Flowers one I remember

219
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: talking to you pregame talking to Logan about it, and

220
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 2: I said, you know, like Mike Samers still down the

221
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: road is probably their slot corner. This is a unique

222
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: person that they're facing. They haven't seen a lot of

223
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: teams that have a receiver like this. Flowers as this

224
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: kind of movable part who can go inside outside, quick

225
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: quick cut, quick explosion player. I remember looking at you

226
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: going who are they covering him with? And he ended

227
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 2: up having a massive first half against them because I

228
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: think Washington was dedicated to try to slow down the

229
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: run and the Ravens responded. I give them credit, they

230
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: responded and found very good matchups, and Flowers I believe

231
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: is a very He may not be perceived as a

232
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: top five, top ten receiver, but at what he does

233
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: for them, he's a very difficult matchup and he was

234
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: for Washington yesterday.

235
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

236
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: No, he was had the big play in their opening

237
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: drive with the on the on the screenplay the wide

238
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: receiver rocket screen where we had they caught us in

239
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: the blitz and you know, it's a perfect call for

240
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 3: them against a defense where we were we're bringing the

241
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: pressure off that edge, so that that that got them

242
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 3: going early in that ball game. But from a standpoint

243
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: of when I talk about watching the film, keep it

244
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: telling the truth, there were some times, and again I

245
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: don't know exactly being a coach, but just from a

246
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 3: lot of his routes were in breaking rounds. Routes they

247
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: were across the field against coverage and oftentimes the corners

248
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: they have outside leverage because of you know, you may

249
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: have a post safety and things like that, but may hey,

250
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: maybe you may want to shade a little bit inside

251
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: on these this type of route because or especially with

252
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: the split that this guy has and his feeding, you know,

253
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: if we're gonna if we're gonna give up something forcing

254
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: to beat us on the outside or outbreaking route things

255
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: like that. So that may be something that they're talking

256
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: about in their in their film room. The pass rush

257
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 3: wasn't what it needed to be either, so there was

258
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: a times where well Lamar had opportunity to go through

259
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: his progressions, had a lot of time to to you know,

260
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: find his open receivers.

261
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: Part of that was off of play action.

262
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: Again, you're geared up to stop Derrick Henry in that

263
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: running game, so there was some open windows there. I

264
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 3: look at it as you know, and it wasn't just

265
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 3: Samuge Steel. He wasn't covering him, you know, completely in

266
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: and shadow him anything.

267
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: They were.

268
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: They had some some different guys covering covering him, mainly

269
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: egg Monogony and Samudge Steel.

270
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a hass off to the Ravens.

271
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: Jay Flowers did a night job and they executed a

272
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: game plan you know to to almost a tea.

273
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was funny.

274
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: Back in week two after Week one with the Giants,

275
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: I watched one Dale Robinson, who I don't think is

276
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: quite as talented, quick whatever like Jay Flowers is. But

277
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: I watched him and they were dumping it off to

278
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: him a million times, and he's kind of that guy

279
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: in the slot who's got some quickness, and I thought

280
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: for sure the Giants would try to take advantage, and

281
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: when they didn't, I was actually surprised that they went

282
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: neighbors neighbors, neighbors, neighbors, neighbors, because I think that that

283
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 2: is somewhat of an advantage. I don't think Robinson is

284
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: of Flowers level. Flowers is a unique player for them,

285
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: especially in an offense where every defense has to load

286
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: up against the run. You have no choice. You're going

287
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: to get favorable matchups with him. And in Washington's case,

288
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: I said to you pregame, I'm like, I don't know

289
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: who's covering him. I think it's going to be a

290
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: very difficult spot. Then they had to shift, you know,

291
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: at halftime, because the passing game was getting them, and

292
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: at that point you're playing from behind against them. It's

293
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: a death sentence against them. It's like trying to stop

294
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: a mac truck and over and over and over. You know,

295
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: they're just battering you with Henry Lamar Justice Hill on

296
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: the edge and their run game is dominant.

297
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: Now you're you're, you're, you're absolutely right.

298
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: When you got one league and then you're trying to

299
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: put that out there, you got another league. So you

300
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: go into the game knowing our focus is on stopping

301
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: the ruh, stopping there can we stopping Lamar Jackson. We

302
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: can't allow these guys to just as you mentioned, you know,

303
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: just bulldoze us or run us over in the mack

304
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: truck and the run from a running game.

305
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: To their credit, they went.

306
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: A lot of play action pass on first down, Yes,

307
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: get some some chunk plays. Again, was the technique exactly

308
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: the way you wanted to be played? That's those are

309
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 3: things that the coaches will talk about. Could you have

310
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: done something different, Could you maybe get into the face

311
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: of of the receivers, try to just rup them a

312
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: little bit, things like that.

313
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: All right, let me get to the other side of

314
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: the ball with you for a minute, because this also

315
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: was semi predictable for Washington, and I actually think it's

316
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: the good thing in my opinion, that really came out

317
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: of this, So be Rob's out. I want to get

318
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: to his impact in a little bit later. But Washington

319
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: has been essentially a fifty to fifty run team. Well,

320
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: they're coming in against the team that has the at

321
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: least metrically best rush defense in the NFL. I think

322
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: that's a little skewed because teams are typically playing from

323
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: behind against Baltimore, so they're throwing a lot more in

324
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: the second half, so the rush numbers are a little

325
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: bit off, But still I don't want to take anything

326
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: away from them. They came in with this b Robs out,

327
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: and I think we could both agree. Everybody knew we

328
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: had to score thirty to win, so this was going

329
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: to be the first game where I think Jaden they

330
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: walked in knowing that Jaden's throwing thirty to forty passes,

331
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: so we were going to be a pass heavy offense

332
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: no matter what. And honestly they passed that test, like

333
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: we didn't know. This year is to me all about

334
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: set the culture, find out where your roster is, try

335
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: to develop Jaden Daniels, which is clearly ahead of the curve,

336
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: and then each week, you're going to have a different challenge,

337
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 2: and this challenge this week was different than anything they

338
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: had faced. They knew they were gonna have to throw

339
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: the ball a lot this weekend to have a chance

340
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: to win, and we haven't seen them do that yet

341
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: where they had to rely on throwing the ball a lot.

342
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: And honestly, in the end, that's the one I take

343
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: away from this and go, I feel really good that

344
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: forced into that situation to have to win this way.

345
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: I think they're capable of it. And that's why that's

346
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: what I really liked about the game the other day.

347
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, you're right.

348
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: And when you look at you mentioned the Ravens defense

349
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: that top billing has been the number one rush defense

350
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: in the National Football League.

351
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: It is earned.

352
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: I know they're I look at yards per rush and

353
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: going into that ball game, the Ravens were allowing three

354
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: yards only three yards per carry. You want to be

355
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: at about three yards or less. Actually, you want to

356
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: be maybe about three point three yards per carry allowed

357
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: rush attempt, and that's a really good run defense. They

358
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: are at three points three points three yards per carry.

359
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: We had eighteen carry for fifty two yards.

360
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: They allowed two point nine yards per carry against US

361
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: that top building as a rush defenses armed looking at

362
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: their their pass defense, they had some issues in defending

363
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: the past. They've given up a lot of a lot

364
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: of players in the passing game. They had some They've

365
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 3: had some blown coverages, some miscommunications, the guys they missed,

366
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 3: some guys that are no longer on that team from

367
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: a year ago that left be a free agency. They

368
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: weren't playing the type of pass defense that the Ravens

369
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 3: are customed to play. They were number one sacks a

370
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 3: year ago, so they did that. They took the football away.

371
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 3: They're not that type of defense currently when it comes

372
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: to defending the pass, and we had to rely on

373
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: the passing game. And you know, yeah, you would have

374
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: loved to have be Robbing that game, and I probably would.

375
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: We would definitely would have had more than eighteen rushing

376
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 3: attempts if he was in that game.

377
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: But the way to go against the he was in

378
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: through the air.

379
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: Right now, Yeah, I'll revisit b Rob in a bit

380
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: because when we talk about him specifically, I want to

381
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: want to get into him. But on the passing game,

382
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: like going in, what I saw from the Ravens was

383
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: they don't get a lot of pressure just rushing for like,

384
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: they don't have the elite pass rushers on the edge.

385
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: They had a little more success with it yesterday than

386
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: I kind of thought they would, but they typically have

387
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: to bring pressure. Kyle Hamilton's kind of a chaos agent

388
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: for them. He kind of comes up to the line.

389
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: You don't know where he's going to be, where he's

390
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: going to be coming from. But they bring pressure, puts

391
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 2: pressure on their secondary and they're a little slower right now,

392
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: whether that's communication or age or something on the back end.

393
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: And there's big plays to be had.

394
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: So even going in knowing you got to score a

395
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: lot of points, it looks like that's the vulnerability of

396
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 2: their defense. Now you got to find out can we

397
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: do it? If asked to throw the ball thirty five

398
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: to forty times a game to win, can we do it?

399
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: And I think Jayden and the offense answered that they're

400
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 2: capable of it. They look like to this point, a

401
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: more comfortable offense being this fifty to fifty be more physical,

402
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: run the ball type of offense to try to control

403
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: the clock and take a little bit of the weight

404
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: off of Jaden's shoulders. But that's not every game you're

405
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: going to be in, and they weren't in one of

406
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: those yesterday. And that, to me was the biggest positive

407
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: coming out of this was if the offense is asked

408
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: to do this, they seemingly are very capable of it.

409
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, very capable of And I was, I was.

410
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: I was impressed with the way Jaden played in that

411
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: in that environment, the way, you know, got off to

412
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: a kind of a little slow start from an offensive

413
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 3: standpoint in the passing game. But thought he saddled in

414
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 3: thought the offense Saturday, and I thought the tempo kind

415
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: of started to affect the Ravens defense, going no huddle

416
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: for a majority of the game. And you mentioned the

417
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: passing game, We were able to make plays in that

418
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 3: make and make Hey the thing, I'll look at it

419
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 3: from a I'm gonna look at it from a defensive

420
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: standpoint and what it does to you. You talked about

421
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: the fifty to fifty run run pass element just from

422
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: a defensive standpoint, when you're going against a team where

423
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: you have to defend both, it just it always has

424
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: you on your heels from a defensive standpoint, because you

425
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: can't just hang your hat and say, hey, this is

426
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 3: a run heavy team. We stopped to run, we increase

427
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 3: the likelihood of us winning this football game. Conversely, if

428
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 3: you're if this is a team that they throw the

429
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: football seventy percent of the time, hey we can drop

430
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 3: eight and the coverage, we can do all the different

431
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: types of things. Really just focused on taking away their

432
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: passing game, force them to run the ball. Kind of

433
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: like a lot of teams you have to play the

434
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Coats where they're like, hey, we're gonna make you

435
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: run the football. We're gonna play a lot of Cover two,

436
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: force you to play to run the ball.

437
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: Can you be patient?

438
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: Things like that, And it wasn't until the Coat started

439
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 3: to run the ball a little bit more effectively that

440
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 3: they actually were able to get over the Hunt hump

441
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: and win the Super Bowl.

442
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: So those are the.

443
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: Things that a defense, i mean offense like ours, the

444
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: challenges that they present present to a defense when you

445
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: can do both, when you can run the ball effectively

446
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: and now coming off that game showing we can also

447
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: to do a lot of damage through the air. So

448
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: that's that is a great positive. Like you said that

449
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 3: we need to air it out.

450
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: You brought the no huddle thing up And when they

451
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: showed this stat on the television broadcaster today, I was surprised.

452
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, we've run a lot of no

453
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: huddle and up tempo. I didn't realize the disparity was

454
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: so high with Washington versus everybody else, like coming into

455
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 2: the game. I don't know, I didn't see the metrics

456
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: from yesterday, but it was a lot again that they

457
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: barely huddled, Like they had run one hundred and sixty

458
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 2: three plays no huddle and the next closest team had

459
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: run half of that. So, I mean, and they've been

460
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: very they're the number one scoring offense in the league.

461
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: So like I was surprised. I guess like that's validation

462
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: in itself. It works for them, and I think, you know,

463
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: to some degree too, that's a surprise that that operates

464
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: that well with a rookie quarterback, that they are operating

465
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: efficiently enough that they can do something that no one

466
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: else in the league is doing and they're prolifically scoring.

467
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: Even yesterday, it was there they left points on the field,

468
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: they had a field goal blocked, they had some mishaps

469
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: you know, at other points of the game, like there

470
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: were points left on the field.

471
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: Again, No, absolutely they The second you mentioned the know

472
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: how to plays, the next closest team, I think they

473
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 3: On the graphic it was one hundred and sixty three

474
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 3: plays of no huw to plays run by us. The

475
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: next closest with these Chicago Bears with eighty one, so

476
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: slightly more than double the amount of plays of no

477
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: how to plays. And again, no huddle was a weapon.

478
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: It's a tool, and then you don't have to necessarily

479
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 3: snap the ball quickly. Again, I'll speak to you from

480
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: a defense standpoint. When a team goes no how to

481
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 3: hurry up, it forces us to kind of streamline the

482
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 3: calls that we're going to make from a defensive standpoint.

483
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 3: You know, we may we may not have a ton

484
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: of plays in from a defensive standpoint, if we run

485
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: to run pressure, we may want to get into our

486
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: look immediately. We don't want to disguise as much. So

487
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: it gives the answers to the quarterback right away, like, hey,

488
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: you may know it. You may see a pressure coming.

489
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 3: You may know if it's single high safety or uh

490
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 3: cover two or two deep type safety. You may be

491
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 3: an identified man versus zone. Those type of things you get,

492
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 3: you're able to get pre snap and that works to

493
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: an advantage, especially averse to an advantage for any offense, especially.

494
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: For a young offense with a young quarterback.

495
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 3: So that's that's brilliant actually when you think about running

496
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: so many no how to plays and huddle up type

497
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: type of plays because it gives answers immediately to a

498
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 3: young quarterback.

499
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: All right, let's pick a few more topics, and let's

500
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: do this in our game that we call this or that.

501
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: All right, so all right, here we go this or that.

502
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: The defense for Washington regressed against the Ravens or the

503
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: Ravens offense is elite.

504
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: I'll say, I think we regressed just a tad bit.

505
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: Well, let me let me say this. No, what it's not.

506
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: It's that we, as I mentioned, the communication situations weren't

507
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 3: what they had been prior to that easily correctable. We

508
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: had some run fit eras and we had some communication

509
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: lapses on the on the from the passing game standpoint. Now,

510
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: the Ravens offense is elite as well, but just a

511
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: tad bit of regression.

512
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Now, what do you think?

513
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 2: So on the Washington defense part, I would say this

514
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: for both sides of the ball. Actually, I think part

515
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: of the reason why they were four and one going

516
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 2: into this game was the they were largely the more

517
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 2: physical team in the games that they played, Like Jayden

518
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: played really well. They did a very creative offense. They

519
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: were executing with it. The defense was getting better, but

520
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 2: they were winning the line of scrimmage, and they were

521
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: the more physical teams, specifically on offense. I didn't feel

522
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: that yesterday. I know you rewatched it. I didn't feel that.

523
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: Now.

524
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: Baltimore's kind of been there, done that with this for

525
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: a very long time, and this is like when dan

526
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: Quinn and Joett and they talk about, this is how

527
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: we get down. You're gonna like how we play. We're

528
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 2: gonna be the more physical team. I didn't feel that

529
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: part of it. Yesterday. Felt like the Ravens were the

530
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: more physical team. Maybe I'm wrong about that, so I

531
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: don't know if I would call that a regression, but

532
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: that was just my general sense in watching the two

533
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: that the more physical team ended up winning the game.

534
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't. I don't think that.

535
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: I don't feel like the Ravens were more physical than us.

536
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: It wasn't a physical situation that the Ravens offense just

537
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: like pounded us up from with get uh, you know,

538
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 3: moving our defense alignment out of I don't think they

539
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: all physical to us. I just think we didn't. We

540
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: had some communication breakdowns in the secondary, did cover very well,

541
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 3: and the past Russ wasn't able to really get get

542
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 3: to him. Now, missing Doris Armstown that definitely hurt. John

543
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: Allen's John Allen missing the second half of that game,

544
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: that hurt. So that's not a physical, you know, physicality deal.

545
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: In my part, I thought we didn't.

546
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 3: We didn't communicate well, and we didn't play coverages as

547
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 3: as we needed to in and and the pass was crash.

548
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: Russ wasn't what it needed to be.

549
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: Now, I am more on the side of this question

550
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: that the Ravens offense came in as the number one

551
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: offense at least in terms of yardage, and I think

552
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 2: that they have the unstoppable thing in the league this year,

553
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: their run game, and therefore they're gonna end up top

554
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: five or number one in offense. And so they are elite,

555
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 2: Like they have two Hall of famers who carry the

556
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: ball for their team.

557
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: You know.

558
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson became the second most prolific running quarterback in

559
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: the history of the NFL yesterday and by the end

560
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: of this year or early next year, will surpass Michael

561
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: Vick as having the most rush yards by any quarterback ever.

562
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry in his first one hundred and twenty five

563
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 2: games is in the company in terms of yardage and

564
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: touchdowns of only four other running backs ever, Emmett Smith,

565
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: Adrian Peterson, Ladanian, Tomlinson, and Jim Brown. They have unicorn

566
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: players that play in an offense that runs the ball

567
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: really well. And I also say this too, I don't

568
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: know if you felt the same way, Like, I've really

569
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: been very pleased with what Cliff Kingsbury has put together

570
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 2: in terms of execution creativity of the offense throughout the

571
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: first six games, Like he gets them into these very

572
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: good second and manageable situations. A lot of creative players.

573
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: I'll say this for Todd Munkin too. It's not that

574
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: they're just handing the ball off to Dereck Henry and

575
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: he's running up the middle and he gets three four

576
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: yards and then they go from there. They're very creative

577
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: in the way that they try to start eat set

578
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: of downs. So I'll give them a lot of credit

579
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: for being creative as well. And they're the number one

580
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: offense for a reason. They are elite. This is the

581
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: reigning MVP. That's ridiculous that that running backs on this team. Frankly, Like,

582
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: I think that they're like the Eagles from a couple

583
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: of years ago, where their rush offense was so good,

584
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: so unstoppable, and in third and fourth and shorts, when

585
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: the Eagles are doing this touch push thing, it becomes

586
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: something that you can't stop. I don't care how good

587
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: you are on defense, you can't stop. That's kind of

588
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: how I feel about that aspect of the Ravens offense.

589
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: I defy anybody to hold them to under one hundred

590
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: yards rushing this year. Like, I don't think anybody will

591
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: be able to do it as a team. Nobody will

592
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: be able to do that against them.

593
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: You know what, your heads in your bed, that's going

594
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: out on the limb with that bet?

595
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: Huh that on hundred one hundred team? Could you hold

596
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: them to? Like even dan quincid is we can't talking

597
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: about one hundred and fifty.

598
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: That'd be good.

599
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty, Like, that's a huge game for anybody.

600
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty years not for them.

601
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: Was my number. I was like, yeah, fifty, that was

602
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: my number.

603
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: Like who else would you say that about the what

604
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: other team running the ball? Would you say, let's just

605
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: hold them to one fifty? You wouldn't say that about anybody.

606
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: That's because they're that good at it.

607
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: Like, that's that's what it is, the Ravens and you

608
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: hope they don't have a type of passing game that

609
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: they had. Yes, that's that's the difference.

610
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: If Lamar hits intermediate and deep throws, you're dead. That's

611
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: that's the point. And that's why they're elite. This is

612
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: why and this is not their show. I'll just say

613
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: this to you. They're the ones that audit at the deadline.

614
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: Go get a available receiver and go over the top

615
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: and lean into this. Like the Warriors didn't need Kevin

616
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: Durant when they got them, but they got them and

617
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: made them that much better. They are a top target

618
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: opposite Flowers away from in my opinion, being basically unstoppable

619
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: on offense. You can't stop their run game. What if

620
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: they have a number one like primary receiver out there, Like,

621
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: what's gonna You're gonna have to score forty to beat.

622
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: Them, said Brown, I'm a Browns. I mean, I'm a

623
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 3: Cavaliers fan. And the fact that you said the Warriors

624
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: didn't need Kevin Durant, I disagree. They needed Kevin Durrat.

625
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: They were not going to be the Cavaliers without Kdie.

626
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 3: Let's move on to the next this or that?

627
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: All right, we missed Brian Robinson or the Ravens defense

628
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: is just that good against the run?

629
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: Where are you on that one?

630
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 3: We miss b rob We definitely miss b Rob because

631
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: you mentioned physicality, peace, and a lot of things that

632
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: b rob does first and foremost, it opens up a

633
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: lot more. Having him on the field will open up

634
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: a lot more in the passing game. And I know,

635
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 3: I know well Jaden had a career high in passing

636
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: yards yesterday with sixty nine yards passing. But having b

637
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: Robbed on the field forces you to commit more resources,

638
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: maybe an extra guy into the box to try to

639
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: stop the run, which will open up things in the

640
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: passing game a little bit more. Also, his ability to

641
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 3: catch passes out of backfield and break tackles and make

642
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: play yards at the contact, So you miss you miss

643
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 3: having him on the field. Him and Austin Eckler as

644
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 3: a dynamic want two punch, and I know Jeremy mc nichols,

645
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: he's played well in and they when thrust in and

646
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: called into duty. But b Rob Man, he's a difference maker.

647
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: He is a difference maker, So we definitely missed him.

648
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: I think their defense is I think both are true here.

649
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 3: I think their defense is very good against the run,

650
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: and b Rob not being there I think is a

651
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: big deal. I describe it as he's kind of gas

652
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: in the tank for this offense. And I agree with you.

653
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: I think you honor Washington's run differently when he's actually

654
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: out on the field because he is apt to get

655
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: the ball fifteen to twenty times a game, and I

656
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: think the Ravens know that Eckler isn't going to be

657
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: used like that, Like I don't think there would be

658
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: a usage where they were Washington gives him the ball

659
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty times a game. So I do think

660
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: that that kind of altered probably the predictability to some

661
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: degree of what Washington was going to do without having

662
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: b Rob out there. But I will say this, like

663
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: it'll go back to what we were talking about earlier,

664
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: Like I think Washington knew b Rober. No, b Rob,

665
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: they're going to throw the ball more this week. So

666
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 2: like would it have been thirty five passes in eighteen rushes?

667
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 2: Would it more have been thirty one and twenty one?

668
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: You know, like would it have been something like that,

669
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: like a few more runs from b Rob.

670
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: I'll buy that.

671
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: Like that they would have carried the ball more with

672
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: Robinson as opposed to him not being there. I still

673
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: think this was a pass heavy game plan, and so

674
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 2: it's not to you know, insinuate they didn't need him

675
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: or didn't want them, or wouldn't have been better with them.

676
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: All those things are true. I just don't know that

677
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: from a game plan perspective, knowing what they had to

678
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: get done, that I think it would have been more

679
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: run heavy with him out there either way. Honestly, Yeah,

680
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: I'll say this.

681
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: I just think here's the difference where I see so

682
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 3: some of them Ron's where you may pick up two

683
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: yards with with Eckler or McNichols, you may probably pick

684
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: up four yards with b Rob.

685
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: Or five yards.

686
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 3: So now you're agree you're in a second and five

687
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 3: or second and six, or possibly a third and three

688
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: as opposed to a third and five and things like that.

689
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 3: So just having him because of the bigger body being

690
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: six foot two. You talked about this on the on

691
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: the air on the yesterday when Derrick Henry so big,

692
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 3: he just falls forward for an extra two or three yards.

693
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: You stop him and he gets four yards.

694
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: You stop them and he gets four yards, and you're like,

695
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: that's a good play.

696
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: So it's a similar type of situation with b Rob.

697
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: He has great body of body lean, so he's getting

698
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: an extra yard, two yards, three yards to carry just

699
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 3: because of his forward lean and he's a much bigger body.

700
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 3: So now that that instead of us having to convert

701
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 3: third and eight, third and seven, thirty six, now we're

702
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 3: having to convert third and three, yeah, thirty four, you know,

703
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: thirty five.

704
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: A lot a lot more mattersable down in this.

705
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: I mean, he's their best lead running back, pure running

706
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: back inside the tackles. He's money on these short yards downs.

707
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: He's like Henry to the point of it. And it's

708
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: never going backwards. It's always getting an extra yard or two.

709
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: They're better with him, Like it's not and it's not close.

710
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: They're better with him. I just think yesterday that just

711
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: the setup and for all the reasons why they were

712
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: going to have to throw the ball more to keep

713
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: up with Baltimore. I'm not sure that his absence is

714
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: the difference here, and it's no offense to him. It's like,

715
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: I just feel like they were throwing the ball a

716
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: lot either way that that would be Robert, no b Rob.

717
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: They were throwing the ball a lot yesterday, no choice.

718
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was gonna be.

719
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 3: It was going to be a probably a sick I

720
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: would say it wouldn't be sixty I mean, wouldn't be

721
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty.

722
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: I think it would have been sixty forty maybe a

723
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: little closer.

724
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 2: I agree, because I think it was thirty five eighteen

725
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 2: I think is what it was. So what would it

726
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: have been thirty twenty three? You know something like that?

727
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: You know?

728
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 4: Is that what we're talking about here? Maybe we passed

729
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 4: the ball. How many pass attempts we had? Yeah, thirty

730
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: five five pass attempts and eighteen runs.

731
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 3: And think about this though too, with b Rob on

732
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 3: the field, as I mentioned, maybe we convert some more

733
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: third downs we have the We possessed the ball a

734
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: lot longer too, and the Ravens don't have the ball

735
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: as much as they did, and they're not controlling the

736
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: clock as much. So I'm saying we definitely miss b Rob.

737
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: I would have loved to have him in that game.

738
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 3: Long term wise, he's too valuable to what we want

739
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 3: to accomplish. So hopefully he is not a situation or

740
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 3: injury that he's he has to miss multiple games, but

741
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 3: he's a very valuable to him to what we're trying to.

742
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: Like with John and George, We're waiting here from dan

743
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: Quinn and we'll see what his situation is moving forward.

744
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: All right, what more of this or that Jaden Daniels

745
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 2: is not at the MVP level yet he just played

746
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 2: an MVP yesterday, or the kid is still really balling.

747
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 3: It's Jason, who's our producer, Brad, he goes MVP level

748
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 3: and a kid in.

749
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: Six games into his NFL career. I was you on this.

750
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: I didn't even want to ask you that question, but

751
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: it was put on the paper in front of me.

752
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: So we blamed Jason for a question that I'm not

753
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 2: even comfortable asking.

754
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 3: But yes, all right, so like he's still balling, let's

755
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 3: say that he is under your ball. There was there

756
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: were some throws in that game. Yesterday where he hits

757
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 3: a couple of throws on some out routes to the

758
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 3: sideline where wal was to Terry almost to Noah Brown,

759
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 3: where he put the ball in perfect position where only

760
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 3: his receiver can catch the ball. The first touchdown pass

761
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: to Terry Way throws it to a spot. Let's Terry

762
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 3: run underneath the ball across the field over a safety

763
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: that's way back there.

764
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean some of the plays that.

765
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 3: The second testyle to Terry, he could have He could

766
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 3: have laid Terry down thea towards the back pielin Ashley

767
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: ends up throwing a back shoulder again, perfect ball placement.

768
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 1: The kid is still balling.

769
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: One hundred percent fourth and goal from the six and

770
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: a must throw, and he puts it in a spot

771
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: where only McLaurin can make a catch. Yes, Like nothing's

772
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 2: too big for him. The spotlight's not too big for him.

773
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: His instincts are just outrageous. His clutch ability is there.

774
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: Nothing seems to get to him. He had like a

775
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: couple airant throws and one bad one that should have

776
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 2: been picked off. But like your nitpicking at this point,

777
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 2: when you just go, oh, he had two bad throws

778
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 2: in a game like, okay, name the other quarterbacks who

779
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 2: have two bad throws in a game like he's playing

780
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: extraordinarily well ahead of the curve. I love his demeanor

781
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: about everything, you know, like we're yesterday, Like it ain't

782
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: m it's not why they lost like it, you know,

783
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 2: but you could feel it in him that he's all

784
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 2: about the team, that it doesn't matter what he does.

785
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: He doesn't he don't want nanny, he doesn't want any

786
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: like nice adjectives about his play when the team loses.

787
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 2: You can feel this about him, and I think this

788
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: is why they're rallying around him, why they believe in him,

789
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 2: Why Dan Kuhn was talking about that yesterday. You could

790
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: feel this in the locker room. And I'll tell you

791
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 2: what too, Like I liked how it sounded in there.

792
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: You know, they lost to a good team, Yester. That

793
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: team was in the AFC Championship a year ago. They're

794
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: on a four game win streak, They've got the number

795
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: one offense, the reigning MVP. They're better on offense in

796
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 2: my opinion this year than they were a year ago.

797
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 2: And that's saying something like there's no shame it losing

798
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 2: to a team like that. But they didn't want to

799
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: hear about moral victories. They were disappointed. They know they

800
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: can go toe to toe with them, they know they

801
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: can be better on the defensive side of the ball.

802
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 2: And I liked hearing it, like the vibes matter to me.

803
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: And I liked hearing what they had to say out

804
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: of that locker room where they're like, don't tell us

805
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: we played the Ravens close, like we don't want to

806
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: hear that right now.

807
00:38:59,200 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: I liked that.

808
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to hear that. And again, I've had the

809
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: chance to rewatch the game. You haven't yet. We didn't

810
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 3: play our best football offensively or defensively, so we play

811
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: our best football, maybe it's a different result. And we're

812
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: not talking about we went toe to toe with the Ravens.

813
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 3: We're talking about we beat the Ravens. And I'm not

814
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm you know, this hyperbole or anything

815
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: like that, like we play our best football if we

816
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 3: play in some of it hed you say, well, the

817
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: Ravens forced us to play the way we played, did

818
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 3: they really? It's just my opinion. It's my opinion, and

819
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 3: I can see why they're like, hey, we're not happy

820
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 3: with the moral victory because they know they can play better.

821
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 3: They know from offensive execution, from a defensive execution, we

822
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: can be a lot better than what we were yesterday.

823
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: And I'm excited about that.

824
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 3: And I feel like, you know, this is a gop

825
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 3: opportunity to have a great week of preparation, great week

826
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 3: of practice going into this game at home against the

827
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 3: Carolina Pators, to get back on the winning side of things.

828
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: There is one other, like kind of larger point that

829
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 2: I'm curious about this week, which goes back to you know,

830
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 2: we're learning week to week about this team. I think

831
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 2: that's why people were so kind of can't believe my

832
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: eyes after the first few weeks, because it was so

833
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: good and you're like, it's new. It's a rookie quarterback,

834
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: new staff, new everything, thirty new players, Like I can't

835
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: believe this is happening this fast. So this is all

836
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: every week is kind of a new test. And the

837
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: game that really got me, that turned me into this

838
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 2: isn't going back, like this is a new normal was

839
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 2: actually Arizona, Like they played in Cincinnati, they had that

840
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: incredible moment they won, everybody saw it. It's on Monday

841
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: Night football. The next day, everybody's talking about them. Who

842
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: are these guys? How good is Jayden Dane? How great

843
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 2: they are? The schedule you played, this is the worst

844
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: they play on a short week. Kept to go to

845
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: the West Coast and play like that's a loss, Like

846
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 2: it's just set up to be a loss. They go

847
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 2: out there and play their best game by far, put

848
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: their heads down, dominate both sides of the ball. And

849
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 2: after that one, I went, all right, we're onto something here.

850
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 2: It means they know how to handle wins. It means

851
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: they know how to handle wins like early. We're gonna

852
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: find out this week can they handle a loss? And

853
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: that's why I'm saying like I liked hearing what they

854
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 2: had to say. They weren't claiming moral victories. They weren't

855
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: complaining about whatever outside of what was happening in the game.

856
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: They weren't doing any of that stuff. And I want

857
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: to see what happens this weekend when they come back home,

858
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: because I've seen them handle a win really well. Let

859
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 2: me see how they handle a loss now.

860
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 3: Oh, they're gonna do it. They're gonna handle it in

861
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 3: a proper way. Because a game you're talking about, tell

862
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 3: the truth, Tell the truth Monday. The coaches are going

863
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 3: to tell the truth to those guys. We didn't play

864
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 3: our best football. A lot of you guys didn't play

865
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 3: up to your abilities, you know capabilities, didn't execute the

866
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 3: game playing the way we wanted to execute it, didn't

867
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 3: carry out your assignments the way you they needed to

868
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 3: be carried out. And that's just the reality of the situation.

869
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 3: That's what happened yesterday. I'm not calling anybody out or anything.

870
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: This is that's what happened yesterday. We did not execute

871
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 3: and play to the level that we have been growing

872
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 3: accustomed to playing. Guys didn't play their best football at

873
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 3: a number on a number of different occasions.

874
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: When you lose a football game, one of the things

875
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: that happens there's greater attention to detail. I worry about

876
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: teams more so, and you mentioned after a candling and win.

877
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: Oftentimes you gotta worry about teams more so after victory

878
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: because you make gloss over some issues, some mistakes that

879
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily get exposed in that ballgame. So all right, yeah,

880
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: we'll get that done the next time.

881
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: But when you when you lose a football game, the

882
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 3: attention to detail wraps up the focus, all the things,

883
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 3: the intensity, the preparation, all.

884
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: The things that you need to do.

885
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 3: It's at a highened level. And so you go into that,

886
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 3: you have a great week of practice, and then you

887
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 3: go into that ball game ready to play your best.

888
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: And here's the reality. Like, for their first six were

889
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: on the road, they're four and two. For their first

890
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 2: six were on the road, they're four and two. So

891
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: they're in a really good spot as they kind of

892
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: turn the corner here where the schedule becomes very favorable

893
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 2: in terms of home games, lack of travel. And that's

894
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: why I think this week is huge. I want to

895
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: see how they handle this and everything I heard last

896
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: night in the locker room scream to me. Not unlike

897
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: the win against Cincinnati the loss here, they're very measured

898
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: about the whole thing. And I expect a really good

899
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 2: performance this weekend, honestly.

900
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 3: And here's so let's talk about this weekend they got

901
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 3: we got three things kind of going on here alumni. Well,

902
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: first and foremost, Derk Green's jersey is being retired at

903
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: that ball game, the one of the mount rushmoores of

904
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 3: our franchise. His jersey is going to be immortalized definitely

905
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 3: want to. That atmosphere should be great Alumni weekend, hundreds

906
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 3: of former players who've doned the burgundy and gold. Whether

907
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 3: you did it when the franchise was the Redskins or Commanders,

908
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be, you are Washington legend.

909
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: You doned the Burgundy and gold. Third win the situation,

910
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: we're still in first place in NFC East. We need

911
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: our fans to come out and droves.

912
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 3: Don't look at this as a oh man, They're playing

913
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: the low league Carolina Panthers. We don't need to be there.

914
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 3: We need to protect our home field. We want to

915
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers when they're on offense on third down,

916
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 3: to have to call time outs because the crowd is

917
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: so loud, to get false stars to feel like they

918
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: are in a hostile environment and they picked the wrong

919
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 3: day to show up at Northwest Stadium.

920
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: We need our fans to come out and.

921
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 3: Droves and feed off that and feed that energy to

922
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 3: the players because it matters. It matters a lot. This

923
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: is a big game. I would say this is bigger

924
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: than the game we just played yesterday. Sunday's game against

925
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers is bigger than the game we just

926
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: played last weekend because it's an nfcast, it's an NFC game,

927
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 3: and it's a game. Those wins matter a lot more

928
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 3: than an AFC AFC loss, or even if it was

929
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 3: an AFC win, a win against AFC team.

930
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I thought the Cleveland crowd was great.

931
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: That showed up a week ago. Like, just think about

932
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 2: what the crowd was able to do. The Browns got

933
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 2: confused on whether they were going to go for it

934
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 2: on a fourth down. That's part of the crowd. How

935
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 2: many procedural penalties did they have. That's a function of

936
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: how they're playing right now. But like it also has

937
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: to do with the crowd, and it's nice to have

938
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 2: the partial crowd. And this team has really turned a corner.

939
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 2: And this is a big game this weekend because unlike

940
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: the measuring stick or litmus tests or whatever you wanted

941
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 2: to call last week, wash, he's gonna be favored this week.

942
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 2: There's gonna be an expectation that they're going to.

943
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: Go in and win.

944
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 2: That's why I want to see how they handle this.

945
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: Carolina has the record that they have. I don't really

946
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 2: want to say anything about it because in't really watched

947
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 2: much of them yet, so it's hard for me to

948
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: really know what they're really about, but I know what

949
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: their record is, and so there's going to be a

950
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: lot of let's get ready for the Bears in two weeks.

951
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 2: That's what's going to be the noise because Caleb's coming on.

952
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: The Bears are surging. That's the home game after. Be

953
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: careful here, we need people at the game like they

954
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: were at that Cleveland game. And honestly too, I was

955
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 2: very fortunate I got to cover your career a little

956
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 2: bit here is I was kind of off the ESPN for

957
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 2: a little while while you were here. I got to

958
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 2: cover the end of Daryl Green's career as a reporter,

959
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 2: and that was an honor and a privilege. He played

960
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: twenty years at Corner at an exemplary level. He is

961
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: one of the most unique players and people you'll ever meet,

962
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: and I agree with you. If there is a mount

963
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 2: rushmore of this franchise, he's on it. So this is

964
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 2: well deserved and I'm very excited for Daryl Green's day

965
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 2: this coming Sunday.

966
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. I'll say this about Carolina Pats.

967
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 3: I live here in Charlotte, As I mentioned multiple times.

968
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 3: The They've been steve number one overall draft pick from

969
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 3: a year ago, Bryce Young and replaced him with Andy Dalton.

970
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 3: The their offense has been better with Dalton at the

971
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 3: helm of the at the quarterback position. They played a

972
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 3: lot better football. I think the receivers feel more involved.

973
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 3: The offense has just operated more efficiently. Defensively, they were

974
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 3: they were really good defense last last year. I don't

975
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 3: know that they're playing at the same level as they

976
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 3: did a year ago, but they'll They'll be a tough out.

977
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 3: They're they're very well coached. The it'll be a game

978
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: where we gotta we gotta come to play. They're not

979
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 3: going to lay it.

980
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: Down for us.

981
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 3: They're going to bide on to our our burgundy helmet,

982
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 3: bergundy and gold helmet.

983
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: They're not going to do that.

984
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 3: And I'm sure dan Quinn will have those guys ready

985
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 3: to play.

986
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't worry about our.

987
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 3: Team being ready to play a football game, or playing

988
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 3: down to the competition or or anything like that, being

989
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 3: high and low and things like that.

990
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't worry about that at all.

991
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 2: Everybody's got their own specific motivations every week. I would

992
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 2: think that Frankieluvu is thinking this week why this team

993
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 2: didn't want me back. So I'm waiting to see that

994
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,479
Speaker 2: energy on the field as he takes on his old

995
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 2: team with the way that he's played, with the energy

996
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 2: he's played, and you know, to claps and a Rick flair,

997
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 2: I'm ready for it.

998
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: Let's go.

999
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: I'm laughing because when you mentioned that Washington was my

1000
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 3: third franchise, so I played against my former teams I

1001
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: played against When I left the Rams, I went to Buffalo,

1002
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 3: we played against them, and then when I went and

1003
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,959
Speaker 3: left Buffalo with the Washington, you know, we played against

1004
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 3: those seas. I remember when I first left Saint Louis

1005
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 3: and I'm in Buffalo and we're playing a preseason game

1006
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 3: against the Rams, and it's just to tell you how

1007
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 3: former players feel about going against their other team. We're

1008
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 3: playing the Rams, and it happened to be the third

1009
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 3: preseason game, and this was back when you would play

1010
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 3: like a half of football back back as a starter

1011
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 3: getting ready for the for the regular season. So I'm

1012
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 3: playing half of half of the game against the the

1013
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 3: Saint Louis Rams. Tory Holt was a who was a

1014
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 3: really good friend of mine. Comes to me in pregame

1015
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 3: warmups and Tory are great friends, and he's talking, Hey, Fletch,

1016
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 3: what's up, what's going on? And this tell you how

1017
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 3: I felt about that game. I said, toy. He says

1018
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,919
Speaker 3: was up to me? I said, Toy, I can't wait

1019
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 3: to knock your ass out.

1020
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: Brown, I had.

1021
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 3: I had ten tackles and one half of football in

1022
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 3: a preseason game. So to your point, do you think

1023
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 3: if Frankie Louis definitely is going to be ready to

1024
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 3: play against the Carolina Pats?

1025
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: You can book that.

1026
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 2: Jeremy chiin two Jeremy Tin two.

1027
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 1: Guys.

1028
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 2: Yes, one other thing too, because I would like to

1029
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 2: end on a very positive note here.

1030
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: So I didn't get to see the Eagles place.

1031
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 2: I don't really have anything to say about them at

1032
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 2: this moment other than I saw what their coach did

1033
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 2: jawing at their own fans who's booing them while they're

1034
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 2: winning okay, and then saw his press conference talking about

1035
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 2: it because they didn't think they beat Cleveland by enough. Then,

1036
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: because Dallas played in the four o'clock window, I got

1037
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 2: to watch a lot of that. They got blown out

1038
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 2: by the Lion. So of the litmus test that Washington

1039
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 2: had with the Ravens. Dallas was having one with a

1040
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: front runner in the NFC, and they failed bad at home,

1041
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 2: got blown out, where the owners being asked, we're going

1042
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 2: to change coaches, and then we get to the night

1043
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: game and the Giants without a couple of their stars,

1044
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 2: play a close game but lose. So look like Washington

1045
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 2: went toe to toe with one of the best teams

1046
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 2: in the NFL on the road in a place where

1047
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: over the last fifteen sixteen years second or third best

1048
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 2: win percentage in the NFL. They were right there with them.

1049
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 2: The other three teams of the NFC East aren't looking

1050
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 2: too good today.

1051
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: So if you like, go look.

1052
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 2: Up and think about what the road is for the

1053
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: rest of this season, watch what's happening in those other

1054
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: three cities right now, and you'll come to the conclusion

1055
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: that everything is very much in front of this team

1056
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 2: for the rest of this season.

1057
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: Right I tried not.

1058
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 3: To, I tried not to get too far ahead of

1059
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 3: myself because of no And it's just I get what

1060
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 3: you said.

1061
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, those teams do look bad.

1062
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 3: When I was at the airport and I was watching

1063
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 3: the Cowboys game, I don't know if you got it,

1064
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 3: you did?

1065
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: You say you did get a chance to watch?

1066
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 2: I saw, yeah, I saw the majority of it, right so,

1067
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 2: and the Lions were toying with them, like they were

1068
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 2: running hooking ladders with linemen against.

1069
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 3: Them, right right, Yeah, So I watched watch that game

1070
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 3: at the airport, and I watched the Monday, I mean

1071
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 3: the Sunday night game with the with the Giants and

1072
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 3: the and the Bengals. Yeah, we're a good spot. We're

1073
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 3: definitely a good spot. But that's let's continue to get better.

1074
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: Let's not get too far ahead of our sales list.

1075
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 3: Let's focus on the Carolina Panthers Sunday at Northwest State.

1076
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good one, and I'm you need

1077
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 2: the fans there be there. I'm with you. It actually

1078
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 2: is at four and two to respond to get the

1079
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 2: five and two at home. It is a bigger game

1080
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 2: than the Ravens game. It might not be the test

1081
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 2: that you think it is, but it's a bigger game

1082
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: because this show ain't gonna be pretty if they lose

1083
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: on next Monday.

1084
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: Honestly, right now, you're absolutely right now, it's can you
