Now we're turning our focus on the Detroit lines. 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: I don't even want to think about the Chiefs game. 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: It's a twenty four hour roll around here rule, you know. 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: Couple couple cocktails, maybe a few. I'm just kidding. I 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: would say when, because it wasn't after the game, because 17 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: we were in the press box still two thirty in 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: the morning, Monday morning. It wasn't the case. It was 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: a lot of coffee, coffee cocktails roll in effect. Uh, 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: Now the Ravens have an opportunity like we talked about 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: in the last podcast, to start going on a run here. 22 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: All right, I brought the schedule in.

Yeah, 27 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: they're not taking no shade, but Ravens is the game 28 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: they didn't take care of. Broncos are playing some pretty 29 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: good ball off there to No, that's Colts. Uh. Ways 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: to sprained ankles. I'm a bad athlete and I've never 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: had two sprayed ankles at the same thing. I don't 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: even know how that happens. You're just like just both 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: at the same time. Well maybe he was playing on 34 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: one that was hurt and then the other one got hurt. 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: You would never know because you're so soft if you 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: had one that gets hurt, if you got hurt with 37 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: one ankle, you'd be off getting carried off the field. Crime. 38 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm a grind us back to it, then Chargers at home, 39 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: justin Herbert.

That's rookie quarterback Dubs. First. 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: The Browns. I mean, now, how many have you reeled off? 51 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: You you've reeled off at this point? Nine straight? Nine 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: st nine? Oh yeah, you're right, yeah, nine straight. No, 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: actually ten straight because you lost the first game three 54 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: four or five, six, seven, eight, nine nine straight? Come on, man, 55 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: you never can count count for Browns at home. You're 56 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: riding nine gamers at Steelers. Why not? Well, I'm just 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: you and the Steelers. Man, I swear, it's not even. 58 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: It's not even. It's not even the Steelers. Usually just 59 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: when you get to this point in the schedule, this 60 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: is the classic split with the Steelers. Okay at Brown's okay, 61 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: I'll give him one. Okay, you're gonna say the split, 62 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: I'll give him one. Packers dos angles dops home against 63 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: the Rams. This is for home field advantage. Is for 64 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: home field advantage. Dops home A gets us, come on 65 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: laying the egg and finale. Actually, that one we've already 66 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: we've already locked it up, already locked up home field. 67 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: This is the rest of the starters. Tyler Huntley show 68 00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: still get the dopo. So you so that's the fifteen 69 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: in two season right there. That's two. You just did 70 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: this five minutes before we started, and you and you 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: had fourteen and three. If you do this again, a 72 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: game with the Doubs, there are the Packers this time. Okay, 73 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: if you do this, if you do this, if you 74 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: do this again, by the end of the podcast, somehow 75 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna be seventeen and they're going to erase that 76 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: gause raids. Um. Well, that kind of gives you an 77 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: indication of how makes feeling around here. It's a good feeling. Uh, 78 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: And I do I do think there's a little hyperbole 79 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: kind of baked into your your whole scenario but I 80 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: do feel good about where this team is, and I 81 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: think that Lamar Jackson and the Ravens reminded everybody on 82 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: Sunday night why this team is for real and why 83 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: we all had expectations coming into the season that they 84 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: were going to be a playoff contender, a super Bowl contender. 85 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe forgot some of that after the game in Vegas, 86 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: forgot some of out, but they reminded us. So, um, 87 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: as long as you got Lamar, like Hollywood Brown said 88 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football, Yeah, like yes, right, yeah, as 89 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: long as you got Lamar and John Harball, I'm putting 90 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: him in that equation too. You got those two guys, 91 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna be in it. Here's here's the God's on 92 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: the truth, right is the Ravens are gonna be in 93 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: a dog fight the rest of the way. In the 94 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: a f C. It's gonna be a tight race. There's 95 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: a lot of good teams in this conference. But you 96 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 1: just like with with Lamar at the Helm, it's really 97 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: gonna be about how many games he can play at 98 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: that kind of level that he played against the Chiefs, Right, 99 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: Like Lamar is because of these injuries, There's no doubt 100 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: about it. He's got to carry more than like, he's 101 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: got to be a star, right, Like he wants to 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: get paid like a star. You want to get the 103 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: big time, massive contract, you gotta play like a star. 104 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: How consistently can he do it? That's the question. Well, 105 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: he played like a star pretty much his entire career 106 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: since taking over the starting job. I mean, yeah, I 107 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: mean he's really really good, right, But like I mean, 108 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: he played at another level against the Chiefs and and 109 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: so he's gonna have to play at that level against 110 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: some really good teams consistently this year. And I absolutely 111 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: want to percent believe he can do it. He's gonna 112 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: have to make magical plays. Absolutely believe he can do that. 113 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a question of how, I think, how 114 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: many times can you do that? Is it too early 115 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: to make fun of you for saying that he's gonna 116 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: go under a thousand rushing yards? Dude, I said that 117 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: before Gus got hurt. Yeah, that was too early. I 118 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: don't think it's too early. But he's on pastr he's 119 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: on past year. You're gonna miss it. Do you think 120 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: Gus would have had six six hundred yards? I think 121 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: that Us would have gone over six hundred. Well, then 122 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: that would have put Lamar under Well, no, because my guy, 123 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: Tyson Williams is gonna have exactly, my guy, Tyson Williams 124 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: is going to have a big year. He's already off 125 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: to a strong start. Had the touchdown in Vegas, had 126 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: the near touchdown, might not hit a thousand because Tyson 127 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: such a star. Yeah, while you're sitting here dogging on Tyson, 128 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying that Tyson is gonna have a good season, 129 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: great season, and he's gonna make up for those yards 130 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: that Gus was gonna have and and Lamar was always 131 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: going over a thousand. You just don't know what you're 132 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: talking about.

So University South Carolina is kind 331 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: of close near that way, so I was like, i'mnuna 332 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: just go back there, and uh yeah, I mean that 333 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: was a great experience for me too. Um. Had had 334 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: a great time graduating from there. Going into my last year, 335 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: it was like, all right, I just want to, you know, 336 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: leave it all on the table, you know what I mean, 337 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: just see what I can do with with Apple opportunities, 338 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: because I mean, this is my last time playing ball. 339 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: I just want to be able to say I'm like, 340 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: all right, this is what I did. You know, those opportunities. 341 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: So that's kind of what went into East East each move. Yeah, interesting, 342 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: the anxiety thing. I mean, you don't really think about 343 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: that like that. That adjustment can be hard to go 344 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: going to college. I mean, was that tough for you 345 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: to deal with? Yeah, I mean just looking back at it, 346 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, because I try to attack everything, but I 347 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: mean just the you know, like I said from the workout, 348 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, to to class. I mean, 349 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: it's just a lot thrown at you, you know, coming 350 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: from high school because I mean high school and like 351 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: you're practice and you know, you go to class, but 352 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: I mean there's nothing, nothing compared to college. Right. Well, 353 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: you already had some anxiety with your mom sitting in 354 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: the class, sitting back there all day, sit back there 355 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: all day. Well and then you go you finally do 356 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: kind of become a lead back when you transfer to 357 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: b y U or a graduate transfer and you're the 358 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: number one guy, and then you know, you beat Tennessee 359 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: and double overtime game winning touchdown and then blow out 360 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: your knee for a cl injury. That had to be 361 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: a tough pill to swallow. Yeah, it was, it was, 362 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: But I said, I mean really honestly, I was just 363 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: like happy that, like I just could instill a confidence 364 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: to myself that's just like all right, like I am, 365 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: you know who I who I thought I was, you 366 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, in those four games, so um, 367 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: and then like I said, just trying to attack the 368 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: rehab and stuff like that, and uh, just looking at 369 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: different people's stories just knowing that, like I mean, guys 370 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: have came come back, you know. So it's just all 371 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: about how you approach it. And uh yeah that's kind 372 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: of what we wanted to it.

Well, unfortunately we didn't 404 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: get a lot of time with Tyson. He had practice 405 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: to get to. We didn't think it would be a 406 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: good look if you know, he shows out the practice late. 407 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's like, hey, I'm the star, I'm doing 408 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: a lot of need to practice on time. That's not William. 409 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: That might that might be the last uh well, Murray 410 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: might be the new starter. Well that that also might 411 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: be the last guest that we get during media time. 412 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: If that were the case, on the last yeah, we 413 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: also more than that, we would have Tyson's mom and 414 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: here keeping a close eye on us. She be right 415 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: behind our over our shoulder, keeping an eye. So we 416 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that we uh we got about there. 417 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: But in all honestly, I liked lights getting to know him. 418 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: You know, he's not someone that I had talked to previously. Um, 419 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, I hadn't really talked to him before this interview, 420 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: but it was good to know his back story a 421 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: little bit. And um, really likable guy. I think he's 422 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: gonna have I really do think he's gonna have a 423 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: good season. I mean, it's pretty incredible when you really 424 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: look at it. I mean, here's the guy who even 425 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: college like he never was like a star running back 426 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: in college, you know what I mean? He right right, 427 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: he was always kind of the number two. He got 428 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: to be y U and that was his first time 429 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: as a graduate student, he'd already graduated from South Carolina, 430 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: his first chance to really be the guy in the 431 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: number one role. And he had four games in that 432 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: role before hurting his knee, and it was really basically 433 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: three and three and change because the fourth game is 434 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: when he blew out his knee. So like now in 435 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: the NFL is his first time ever being like a 436 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 1: starter starter really for an extended period of time now. 437 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: So it's just wild how his career is is really 438 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: something else. It is. It is crazy, and you don't 439 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: often see someone who kind of goes from true roster 440 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: bubble maybe on the outside looking in to starter and 441 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: a matter of what happens when the two league guys 442 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: both get hurt, right and justice, but credit to Tyson, 443 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: but yeah, he was ready. He was ready for it 444 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: and and you know, the Ravens did bring in the 445 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: other veterans, but he's still clearly the number one guy 446 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: here with Tavis Murray has been really good too, especially 447 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: in the red zone being that hammer um. But you know, Tyson, 448 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: I'm really impressed. I wanted to talk to him. I 449 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: wanted to tell him this. I thought his best play 450 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs game, probably whether that or his long 451 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 1: touch on run in Vegas for better, but that passed 452 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: to him Keith third down in the red zone that 453 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: he hauls in from Lamar Jackson keeps his balance on 454 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: one arm, has to change directions, change direction and get 455 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: up the field and die for that first down. It 456 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: was a huge first down. I think Lamar ran for 457 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: a touchdown on the next play or something to keep 458 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: his balance with the one armed hand down. That was 459 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: a really good play. His his ability as a receiver 460 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 1: is uh, you shouldn't sleep on it. He's pretty good 461 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: darn receiver. Can I give you a different play that 462 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: I actually liked. It was just twenty yard run on 463 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: first and right before half on that drive where basically 464 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: the Ravens get the holding call. I think they had 465 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: an illegal for procedure and then it's like, all right, whatever, 466 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: just pack it in. Here's the draw. Play run into half, 467 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be it. You're gonna go down into halftime. 468 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: I think down ten, I believe. And then all of 469 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: a sudden he rips off twenty and it's like, okay, 470 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: here we go. All right, let's try to go march 471 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: down the field. And the Ravens did. They go down 472 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: the field and they get a field goal. That drive 473 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: before half was massive because the Chiefs are coming out 474 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: with the football. You go into the locker room feeling good, 475 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: and that drive doesn't. There's a lot of good things 476 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: on that drive market and is making a nice play 477 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: and then getting out of pounds leading over a guy, 478 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: great play. But Tyson ripping off twenty yards when it 479 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: was first and twenty five kept the drive alive. If 480 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: he gets I mean, I think basically the thought there, 481 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, he gets, he gets seven, and then he 482 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: just taken into halftime and that's all that. That's all 483 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: she wrote. Um, I don't know if the Ravens, you know, 484 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: who knows. I don't know if they win that game. 485 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: If they don't get points on that drive. There are 486 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: a lot of small plays that yea to a victory 487 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. Um so now we we shift their 488 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: focus towards the Lion's who you know, like we said, 489 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: oh and two but a good team. Uh new head coach. 490 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: Uh what's the guy's name. He's coming for your knee caps. 491 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna bite off your knee caps. So we should 492 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: have worn taison about that. Yes, where the double kneepads 493 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: because here it comes down. So uh, you know, it's 494 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good challenge. When I think about 495 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: playing Detroit, immediately go back to Justin Tucker's sixty one 496 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: yard field goal to beat them in I was at 497 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: that game. It was awesome. There's a sixty one yard 498 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: or the fifty something yard of the forty six field goals. Yeah, 499 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: but he hit him from all every every range. They're unbelievable. 500 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: That game in Detroit. You're sitting in the rafters. Oh, 501 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: you're on top of the field. It's a way bring 502 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: the binoculars for this game. Oh yes, definitely packed the 503 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: binoculars for this one. But the mood after that he 504 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: hit that kick, it was just unbelievable. That was that 505 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: was an all time memory, just like the Chiefs game. Yeah, Yeah, 506 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: that was That was an awesome game. That was Monday 507 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: night football. Um, a lot of fun. So I think, um, 508 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: I feel I do feel good about this game. I 509 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: think that this is just from a pure matchup standpoint, 510 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: like this is a game that the Lions offensively, you 511 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: know a lot of what they do is predicated on 512 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: play action with Jared Goff and John Hardball talked about 513 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: that today. But I like the Ravens defense, Jackson. They 514 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: have a good thing. They have a good tight end. 515 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: And you already played Darren Waller, Travis Kelsey. No, it's 516 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: t J. Hockinson, who's probably in that top five you 517 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: talk about put Mark Andrews in there. Obviously, Hockinson is 518 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: probably in the George Kittle George Kittle, Yeah, but Hockinson, 519 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: Hockinson this year has put himself in that group. Yeah, 520 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: so another challenge. He really be nice to get Jimmy 521 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: Smith on the field. We've been saying that for the 522 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: past three weeks. So hopefully we get a report out 523 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: of practice of Jimmy Smith is a full participant. That 524 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: would be a nice report to get out of today. Um, 525 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: but yeah, they have Hockinson, they DeAndre swift. Uh, it's 526 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good little running back, Jamal Williams. Jamal Williams 527 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: is a good running back, so they got they can 528 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: run the ball a little bit. This is gonna be 529 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: a test for the Ravens defensive front, which is a 530 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: little banged up. Brandon Williams had a strained neck for 531 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: string game neck against the Chiefs, and you're already without 532 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: Derek Wolfe. We'll see if he is able to get 533 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: back to practice today. He's been dealing with a backslash 534 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: hip injury that sidelined him so far for extended period 535 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: times since the joint practices. Yeah. Uh so it would 536 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: be a nice time to get the defensive line kind 537 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: of stored out with Justin Matabick could have a bigger role. Yeah, 538 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: And I think that for the the Lions defense, they're 539 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: they're banged up in the secondary, so this could be 540 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: an opportunity corners back is out. Yeah, I think this 541 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: could be an opportunity for the offense to get to 542 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: put up some points and maybe have a nice day 543 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: in the passing game. You know, this could be the 544 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: Ravens have have leaned. I mean, they had so much 545 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: success for running the ball against the Chiefs. I mean 546 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: they could pick up and a large part of that 547 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: was Lamar but Tyson had a big game. Um, the 548 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: Ravens can pick up yards on the ground. I think 549 00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: that this may be a week where we see some 550 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: success through the air. I think it's gonna be a 551 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: lot of both either both success either way. Oh yeah, 552 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: I think. I think. I think there's the offense offense game, 553 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: big game for the offense. Uh. Marquis Brown has been 554 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: somebody that you've been talking a lot about. You're really 555 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: excited about what you you're seeing from him. I'm I'm 556 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: definitely on the band wagon. I think that he He's 557 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: got eight touchdowns in his last eight games. He plays 558 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: his best in big moments. He basically didn't have any 559 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: training camp, just you know, one and half days and 560 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: then didn't have any training camp, and then he's come 561 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: out and played really well. Didn't practice two days last week, basically, 562 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: he said going into the game last week. Uh, he 563 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: revealed after the game, we had six catches a hundred 564 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: thirteen yards in a touchdown, Like, yeah, I didn't feel 565 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: like I was gonna play during the week, Hollywood. Brown's 566 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: basically the Allen Iverson of this team practice practice. We're 567 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: talking about practice, but like and Lamar talked about it 568 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: today too on podium and how confident he is in 569 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: Hollywood and like basically, like the sky's a limit for him. 570 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: The guy plays his best in the big situations. That's 571 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: what I like about That's like my favorite thing about 572 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: Hollywood is I feel like he in the biggest moments 573 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: that brings out the best of him. And when you 574 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: think about the over the past few years, he's had 575 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: some terrific moments. He had to catch against the Chiefs. 576 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: He had obviously the Monday and at football play which 577 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: we all remember that those were just kind of crazy 578 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: plays where all of a sudden standday by himself right 579 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Yeah. Um, but he's played great in the playoffs. 580 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: He is just he he rises to the occasion, and 581 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: I just think that he is going to him Yeah 582 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: the Monday in football game, he rises to the occasion. 583 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: And I think that he is having the start the 584 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: type of season, to the start to the season. Um 585 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: that I feel like it is going to lead to 586 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: the production that we all sort of expected. Do we 587 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: go over a thousand on him? Definitely? Did? Did I know? 588 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: I don't know what he did for touchdowns. I remember 589 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: saying that, and you've been like, oh, you remember a 590 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: thousand weeks I draft. He's been starting on my face 591 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: to see team the past two weeks. Well, we were 592 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: probably low whatever we said on touchdowns, or probably low 593 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: because the guy, I don't think so. I think I 594 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: said he put up like he's gonna put up seventeen 595 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: because he and that's a seventeen no, but he it is. 596 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: He he also like it. One thing that's crazy about them, 597 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: it's because he's such a small guy. You don't expect 598 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: him to be a red zone three. The typical red 599 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: zone thread is the big guy who can just throw 600 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: a jump ball. But Lamar has always looked his way 601 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: in the red zone. And I mean a lot of 602 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: that is chemistry and fields feel yeah, because some of 603 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: the rod out of zone coverage in the red zone 604 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: broken plays Lamar running around and then Hollywood just kind 605 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: of gets open and sneaks in the back. I mean, 606 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews is really good the red zone for the 607 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: same as a reason the chemistry between those guys. But 608 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm high Hollywood, very high Hollywood. Yeah, I am too, 609 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: all right, So we have some emails here, we asked 610 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: for you to send in some emails specifically about the 611 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: Big Win. Well, yeah, so if you listen to the 612 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: episode earlier in the week, the question that we posed, 613 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: and you guys can always email us about this or 614 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: any other topic at the lounge at Ravens dot NFL 615 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: died that the question was, you know, we didn't have 616 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: the episode going into the Chiefs game, so there was 617 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: no big win. We did have the big win, right, 618 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: you should never do it, just leave it to me. 619 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: But it's your it's your thing. It's your thing. So 620 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: the question was whether that should die, whether whether it 621 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: should be retired. Yeah, fair question, right. So here's a 622 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: couple of emails. This one comes to us from Frank sites. 623 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: No way you retire the big Win. I thought you 624 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: just said you're going to it up from me, No 625 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: way you retire big This is this is where the 626 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: email gets good. What else does meant good for but 627 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: losing various drafts, over reacting to most situations, and making 628 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: me turn down the volume on the podcast as he 629 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: consistently yells on the pod, keep the big wind Mink, 630 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: by the way, great wind by the Ravens, So great 631 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: email by Frank great email, said Frank con says it 632 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: should stay, also makes fun of you in the process, 633 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: so double whammy. And then this one comes girls from 634 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: uh from from Kai Degner and kirats a big fan 635 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: of the show. I have finally been motivated to email 636 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: based on what I think is a inclusive argument regarding 637 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: the debate of whether or not to retire the Big Win. 638 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: Here's here's the problem with the logic of stopping and 639 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: after you missed an episode and we had the Big Win, 640 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: the same logic applies to the entire episode meeting. You 641 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: would logically need to stop the entire Lounge podcast. It 642 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: wasn't just a Big Win that was missing, it was 643 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: the entire episode. So Kira is clearly removing just a 644 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: part of an episode. That's a slippery slope to ending 645 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: the whole show, and that's not what we're after. Besides, 646 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure the Ravens records and make started with the 647 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: Big Win out Rose supports keeping it. I offer a 648 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: different intra interpretation. The cumulative number of episodes that have 649 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: ended with the Big Win are resident resonating powerfully enough 650 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: in the universe that they carried into the Chiefe game 651 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: even with the missed episode. Yes, this is a big 652 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: picture thought right here. We've had enough losses this season 653 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: with so many players going on injured reserve. Key the 654 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: big wink and he says he's ready for the big 655 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: win against against the lines this week. He was ready 656 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: for a T shirt which is coming his way. Are 657 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: you had it arranged? Wow? Look at that. You're finally 658 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: doing something around the top of I'm impressed.

I 674 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: think it was really important to me for this not 675 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: to be kind of a cliche, like women just talking 676 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: about being women in sports, Like women in the organization 677 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: and around the NFL have so much more to offer 678 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: than just that, and so it's really talking about the 679 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: organization just from different perspectives, a lot of behind the 680 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: scenes info and stories that I hope fans will find 681 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: really interesting.

We have Dr Tricia who's our 694 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: mental health specialist basically here um at the Ravens. So 695 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: she has a really unique perspective and we brought her 696 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: in along with Sarah Snyder, who's a team nutritionist, to 697 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: really showcase how holistic of a view the Ravens take 698 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: at health when they're looking at players.

What did you learn 712 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: in the conversation with Lacey? Yeah, she's fascinating it's just 713 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: I think people see her as Eric's wife, you know, 714 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: and she was in this organization, like before she was 715 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: Eric's wife, she worked here, She's from Baltimore. She really 716 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: gets this place, and I think it's really cool to 717 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: hear that her dad helped build the stadium, you know, 718 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: like literally the bricks that makeup mc being stadium. So 719 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: she is very intrinsically a part of this organization and 720 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: it's fascinating to talk to her and just kind of 721 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: how her focus is like really humanizing Eric because obviously 722 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 1: he can't be on Twitter defending himself to the Internet trolls, 723 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: but like she gives him this personal feel which I 724 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: feel like bands have really responded to, Like everyone loves 725 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: her on Twitter, and I think it's made Eric this 726 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: more like personal figure to them, because I think a 727 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: lot of times it's easy for people to separate, you know, 728 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: a general manager, coach, or a player from the human 729 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: that they are like outside of the game, right and 730 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: they all have personalities and feelings, And I think she's 731 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: done a really good job of showcasing Eric in that 732 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: way without you know, sharing anything he doesn't want to 733 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: be shared. Obviously, she can identify with the feeling that 734 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: we get sometimes, which is the are you going to 735 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: sign so and so, give us, give us the give 736 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: us the scoop on whoever, justin Houston, whoever the player 737 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: is right?

It's going 758 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: to be a good game. Any anything you want to 759 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: say about the gaming last thoughts here, g No. I honestly, 760 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: I think the thing for me and I and I 761 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 1: have like the tone. I think that you can have 762 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: it both ways. If you have a tough loss, it's 763 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: it can be difficult to kind of shake that off 764 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: and that can link it to the next game you 765 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: have a big win, the same linsic applies that can 766 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: kind of linger throughout throughout the over the course of 767 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: the week trap game, of course, all those all those buzzers, 768 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: You've got people like you talking about fifteen into going 769 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: through the whole schedule, talking about rattling off a bunch 770 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: of wins. So I think that I've I've liked the 771 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: tenor around here. Lamar Jackson even literally moments after the 772 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: game was like, we didn't win the Super Bowl, Like, 773 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it was great to beat the Chiefs, but 774 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: like we've got more work ahead of us, and so 775 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: they have been pretty quick to turn the page and 776 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: focus on this game against Detroit, So I think that 777 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of critical, you know, move past it, 778 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: celebrate it, move past it. And I don't play the games. 779 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: This is the only reason I don't play. Yeah, yeah, 780 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: that's the only reason. Otherwise you'd be out there for 781 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: the mentality. Yeah, mentality had a Talian for sure. Anyway, 782 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:10,399 Speaker 1: thanks for listening and get ready for all big get red. 783 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: It's not going anywhere. We still got it.
