1 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan mink 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: He with Garrett Downing. Following the Ravens forty four to 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: ten loss to the Houston Texans, the Ravens now fall 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: to one in four on the season. It is the 5 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: tide for their worst start in franchise history. This also 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: tied to the Ravens most lopsided loss at home in 7 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: franchise history, dating back to twenty thirteen. 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: The Ravens are in a really tough position right now, Garrett. 9 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: They are still very banged up, and they are not 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: playing good football and they've put themselves behind the eight ball. 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: Now when it comes to just scratching back into this 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: scratching their way back and making the playoffs, I mean 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: that what seemed what was at the beginning of season 14 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: a super Bowl favorite, now we're talking about, like, can 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: they scratch their way back from a huge deficit early 16 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: in the season to. 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: Make the playoffs. 18 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, Like I know the playoffs are everyone thinks 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: about that, But I think the Ravens got they have 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 3: issues in the here and now that they need to 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 3: worry about rather than the standings. And I think that, 22 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 3: like I do think that that was definitely a sense 23 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 3: that I got in talking to this team after the game, 24 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 3: that like they just they need to not worry about 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: the playoffs of the postseason and the standings zone. They 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: just they got they gotta go one to oh and 27 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: they got to fix some things, and they got to 28 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: figure out what's going on in the here and now 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: rather than worrying about like the really big picture. And 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 3: I just think, like, when I look at this game, 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 3: this was I don't think the Ravens or myself expected 32 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: it to go the way that it did. This was 33 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 3: a team that we all knew they were really banged up, 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: and actives come out before the game and it looks 35 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 3: like a Pro Bowl roster. 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: It was a Pro Bowl Six Pro bowlers on there 37 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: in active seven if you include no the matter BK. 38 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 39 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: So it's like it's a it's a who's whose list 40 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 3: of guys who are dealing with injuries on the team, 41 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: and that's a real challenge. I don't want to minimize that. 42 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 3: The Ravens said over and over again after the game 43 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 3: that that's not an excuse and that they were not 44 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 3: using that as the excuse for the result of today's game. 45 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: But that's a real challenge, and I don't think that 46 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 3: can be overlooked. But they also just feel like they 47 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: were going to have a better show even with the injuries. 48 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 3: We knew this team was banged up coming to the game. 49 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson was ruled out on Friday, Like that wasn't 50 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 3: a surprise, and so everyone felt like the Ravens were 51 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: going to have a better showing than they did today 52 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: in this one where the Texans controlled this one from 53 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 3: start to finish and really kind of dominated across the board. 54 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, we just aren't used to seeing this at all 55 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: from the Ravens. I mean, three straight losses and really 56 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: you got blown out the past two weeks. We just 57 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: don't see that. And I agree, of course, it's impossible 58 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: to separate how much the injuries are responsible for this 59 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: and how much they're not right, how much it's just 60 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: a problem with the football. But it were with the execution, 61 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: I should say, But all of the players said, like, 62 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: whoever's out there, I mean, we we got done talking 63 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, how deep this roster was, 64 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: how talented. You have the most talented roster in the NFL. 65 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: Even if you lose seven pro bowlers, including Nomindee, like, 66 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: you have a good enough roster to be better than 67 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: what we saw today. That's that's the truth. 68 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: And kylevin Oy like cut off the question when he 69 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: was asked about the injuries being an excuse, and he 70 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: basically cut off the reporter said, no excuse. So I 71 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: just watched the forty nine ers on Thursday night go 72 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: and play with a whole bunch of injuries and without 73 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: the quarterback and down receivers, and they went and beat 74 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: the Rams in their place in the right And so 75 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 3: he like that was Van Noy, He made that point. 76 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: And so I think that the players on this team 77 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 3: are saying, like we're professionals. Everyone they played as professional 78 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: and so we're not going to use that as the 79 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: excuse of the rationale for why things went the way 80 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: they did. 81 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: Tody, I mean, John Harball was very clear cut after 82 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: the game saying we got beaten every way you can 83 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: get beat It was a complete disappointment. Said the Ravens 84 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: have to find themselves. Was not up to the standard. 85 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: We have good enough players out there to be to 86 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: play better than that. So pretty clear cut that right 87 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: now they're in kind of soul searching mode in terms 88 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: of how much fight do you have right now? Right? 89 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: This season is obviously it's been a shocking start. Nobody 90 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: expected the Ravens to be one in four, one of 91 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: the best teams in the league. But at this point 92 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: it's it's about pride, you know how much Like we 93 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: know that there's injuries out there, But are you Are 94 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: you gonna be okay with getting blown out here? 95 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: No? 96 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: I don't think the Ravens are, but like, you got 97 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: to do better than this or you're gonna get. 98 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: Blown out in this league. I don't care who you're playing. 99 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: Right and and and yeah, like as we look, I 100 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 3: think the second part is is what what do you fix? 101 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: How do you how do you correct this? How do 102 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 3: you get back on track? In this game? Specifically? Like 103 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: what went wrong? I mean the Texans really control the 104 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: game from start to finish, But in terms of when 105 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: you when you drill down a little bit more, something 106 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: that that John Harbell pointed to was early downs on 107 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. The Texas were able to 108 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 3: run the ball far too easily and get into short 109 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 3: yard situations. I mean they may marched up and down 110 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 3: the field for most of the game, and offensively for 111 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: the Ravens, they were not able to have success on 112 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 3: early downs, and then they got into this deep hole 113 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: where they're down multiple scores and they and they just 114 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 3: couldn't climb out of it. And the second half it 115 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: felt like it was already the Texans were off and 116 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: running at that point and you just couldn't stop the avalanche. 117 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: But he really pointed to like the early downs and 118 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: the run defense, and then on the offense similarly, not 119 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 3: being able to have any success on first and second 120 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: down and run the ball with any level of effectiveness. 121 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, the lack of a running game the past really 122 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: three weeks has been the most shocking thing. 123 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: Now you're talking offensively for the Ravens. 124 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: Correct, And now, I think part of the sho before 125 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: today was the Ravens just weren't running the ball enough. 126 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: It was a volume issue in wait in some ways. 127 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they led the league in yards per carry, 128 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: but they weren't carrying it enough. Today that was not 129 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: the case at all. I mean Derek Henry ran it 130 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: fifteen times for only thirty three yards. Yeah, he had 131 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: six carries for eight yards on the Ravens first two drives. 132 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: So, like we all knew. 133 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: The game plan with Cooper Rush under center was you 134 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: had to run the ball, you had to run a lot, 135 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: and you had to run it well. And the Ravens, 136 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, they didn't run a lot because of the 137 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: score in part, but that's because they didn't run it well, 138 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: and then it got out of control for them. And 139 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: that's surprising to some degree. I think part of it 140 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: is we see the effect that Lamar Jackson has on 141 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: other teams this It was a pretty clear cutcase here 142 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: today just how important Lamar Jackson is. 143 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 2: I mean, you and I were saying during the. 144 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: Game they would go back and vote for MVP last year. 145 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: Watch this game. How important is Lamar Jackson? Right? 146 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: And I think especially I mean, it's in all facets, 147 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: but I think the run game is a major factor. 148 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: When you don't have all the RPO stuff, you don't 149 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: have the threat of Lamar keeping like Lamar changes things 150 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: and it goes beyond that. That's not the only factor. 151 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: They just got to block it up better. They got 152 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: to do everything better. But that was probably offensively the 153 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: most surprising thing for me. 154 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: Look, the Ravens were down twenty four to three at halftime. 155 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 3: At that point, Derek Henry had six carries for eight yards. 156 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: Keith Mitchell had two carries for seven yards. Fifteen rushing 157 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: yards in a game where when you come into it 158 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: with the approach of you got to establish the run, 159 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: fifteen rushing yards at half just simple isn't gonna get 160 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: it done. I mean, that's not We're close to effective enough. 161 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: And so the Ravens have to be able to run 162 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 3: the ball better when from you know, without Lamar, without Lamar, 163 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: especially if he's out next game, how long. 164 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: He's gonna be sidelined, But. 165 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 3: Like they just need to be able to run the 166 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: ball better. 167 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: Period. 168 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's a really tough spot if you're in 169 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: these if you can't do it with any level of effectiveness, 170 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 3: and Henry's getting hit in the backfield, and there's and 171 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: the and the Texas were shooting gaps and they were 172 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: crowding the box and they were selling out to some 173 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: degree to stop the run. But even in those situations, 174 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: you need to be able to to get into third 175 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 3: and manageable situations and have some success on the ground. 176 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: I thought Cooper Rush actually started the game pretty hot 177 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: and pretty effective. 178 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: Ravens got on the field. 179 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: Have to center for Settle for a field goal. But 180 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: like I actually thought Cooper Rush was playing at a 181 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: pretty adequate level, like early in this game. 182 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that that first drive was pretty nice and and 183 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: as we mentioned, the run game wasn't getting it done 184 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: early in the game, so it was the passing game, 185 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: and he did look pretty good early on. I thought 186 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: he like he managed the offense. That interception, especially on 187 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 3: the on the passage Henry out on the flat guy 188 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 3: made a nice play, but he'd want that one back. 189 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: The one to Bateman along the sidelines. It looked like 190 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: Bateman lost it in the sun on that play. 191 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: And the other one was the tip ball Mark Andrews 192 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: tipped it to himself, right, So you had three interceptions 193 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: in the second half. He took a tough sack in 194 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: the on early in the in the first half. That 195 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: really kind of pushed the Ravens back. 196 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: But like. 197 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: I think, I think offensively the running game, Yeah, they 198 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: need to get more out of that or this offense 199 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: is going to have a really tough time quite frankly. 200 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And so that's after the end. We did 201 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: talk to Derrick Henry and and he's his own toughest 202 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 3: critic as always, and he just talked about the overall 203 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: unit needing to to be able to run the ball better, 204 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: set himself included, but like it that group, if this 205 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: offense is going to be what what we all thought 206 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 3: it would be coming into the year, which was, like 207 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 3: we all thought this was going to be the best 208 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 3: or one of the best offenses in the NFL with 209 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: the running game as a real driver of the unit, 210 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: and it hasn't. It just hasn't been that way since Buffalo. 211 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: That was the case in Buffalo, but it hasn't been 212 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 3: that way since Week one, and so the Ravens have 213 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 3: to really find that and figure out why is it 214 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 3: not working, what do they need to do differently to 215 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 3: have success in that regard, and then make those changes, 216 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 3: especially if they're going into a game next week if 217 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: Lamar's not playing and they have an approach of let's 218 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 3: get the ground game established. Well, if you're going to 219 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: try to get the ground game established, you have to 220 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: you have to be able to get that going if 221 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 3: you're going to lean on that in a week where 222 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: you're without your starting quarterback. 223 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, let's take a break. 224 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: We'll come back and we'll talk about the defensive issues 225 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: as well as some of the other points that players 226 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: are talking about in the postgame locker room. 227 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: You're listening to the Lounge podcast. We're coming to you 228 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: from the Sea Geek Studio. We want to give a 229 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 3: shout out to our partners in Draft Kings sports Book. 230 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: They are an official sports betting partner of the Baltimore 231 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 3: Ravens Draft King Sportsbook. The Crown is yours. So this 232 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 3: Texans offense was able to have a lot of success 233 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: today against the Ravens finished the game with forty four points, 234 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: and they were able to move the ball up and 235 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: down the field four hundred on the first. 236 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: Eight drives, and they put him once and it was 237 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter after their backup quarterback came in. 238 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just not You're not gonna win many games 239 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 3: when that happens, if at all. No, and so the 240 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: raven Now on defense, the Ravens defense was incredibly shorthanded. 241 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 3: You're down Kyle Hamilton, Rokwan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, chioh Woozie, 242 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: Nonde Matabike if you count him. Those are marquee players, yea. 243 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: And so you like, I mean, Keon Martin and Ruben Lowry, 244 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 3: two of the field good stories coming out of training 245 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: camp who end up making the team as undrafted free agents. 246 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: We're playing they both started, they're playing the entire game 247 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: basically they started. Like that is a tough assignment for 248 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: young players. Your your linebackers are Teddy Buchanan who was 249 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 3: wearing the green dot communicating with the rest of the defense, 250 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: Trenton Simpson, and so like, you're down a lot of players. 251 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 3: I think that, like the the deck was stacked against 252 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: the defense. But again going back to what we said 253 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 3: off the top, the Ravens are not using that as 254 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: an excuse and feel like they need to just be 255 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: better no matter who's out there. 256 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, I think that it's an ex execution problem, 257 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: and I think John Harball made it pretty clear. 258 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: It's a fund football fundamentals issue. 259 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: You know, you're not tackling well enough, you're not getting 260 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: off blocks well enough, all those things, and you know, 261 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: and quite frankly, Kyle van Nei talked about this, these 262 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: rookies have to grow up fast. 263 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: It's a tough assignment. 264 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: You know. You we can say that they got to 265 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: grow up fast, and yeah, they do for the Ravens 266 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: to win games. But like you're talking about a couple 267 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: of undrafted rookies or in your starting lineup, Like that's tough, 268 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's that's that's a high expectation for an 269 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: undrafted rookie, uh Keon Martin out of Louisiana and Lafayette, 270 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, like it's tough. 271 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 3: You have four rookies in the starting lineup Lowry Martin, 272 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: Malachi Starks, and Teddy Buchanan. Then Mike also playing sergnificant 273 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 3: role Mike Green all started. Okay, then that's five. That's fine. 274 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 3: We have five rookies in your starting lineup. 275 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 2: Yeah. 276 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: So, but but like also this defense hasn't really wasn't 277 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: playing well before all those guys are missing, so like 278 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: let's also not lose sight of that. I think if 279 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: we're being real here, like there's been defensive problems really 280 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: all season long, and they had some. They had three 281 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: solid quarters in Buffalo and then got toasted in the fourth, 282 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: and like it hasn't been good really since well, they 283 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: had two turnovers against. 284 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: The the Browns. 285 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: They haven't had a turnover since they had two sacks today. 286 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: But like, the problems I think defensively extend beyond just 287 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: the injuries. The injuries are obviously a major part of that, 288 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: but it extends beyond that and and to our whole point, 289 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: like the players that are out there, it still needs 290 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: to be better than what we've seen. And so, you know, 291 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: Kyle van Noy was very clear saying we got to 292 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: get our stuff together, and. 293 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: Stuff was not the word there. 294 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's different, different, and you know, I think that 295 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: it's not to me, it's not just the run defense. 296 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: You know that that was one thing certainly that was 297 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: pointed to after the game, and John Harwall said that 298 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: it's kind of on. 299 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: Both sides of the ball. 300 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: You need to be better on first downs and you 301 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: got to stop the run. I think the Ravens are 302 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: just giving up too many easy passes too. Like what 303 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: I see on first downs also and second downs is 304 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: like too many just like seven eight yard completions where 305 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: they're just sitting down and it's not really contested. And 306 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: so I know that, like you don't want to give 307 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: up big plays and whatnot, but at some points I 308 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: feel like they need to be challenged more on the 309 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: outside because teams are just marching. 310 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: They had ten play drives their first two drives of the. 311 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: Game, and then when you pair that with an offense 312 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: that isn't marching. Like that was even even before Lamar 313 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: went out and top Munkin talked about this, part of 314 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: their problem was like they were either scoring too fast 315 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: or they were going like three and outs. 316 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: Like this defense is. 317 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: Just quite frankly and partly because they're just not getting 318 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: off the field. 319 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: They're playing too many snaps, like they're just gassed, you know. 320 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: And so like I think I think that it's a 321 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: really I think it's a really tough assignment for this 322 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: defense right now with all the players they're missing, all 323 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: these young guys you have to play, You're playing a 324 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: ton of snaps. 325 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 2: You know, it's tough. 326 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: But like this was the Texans offense that came in 327 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: near the bottom of the league in points per game. 328 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: They're averaging sixteen a game and CJ. Stroud was kind 329 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: of struggling and they just had to get right game 330 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: against this defense. 331 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so like this is an obvious statement here, 332 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 3: but you're just you're not gonna win many games when 333 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: you're giving up forty four points on defense, and the 334 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: Ravens are The question is like what do they fix? 335 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: Where do you go from here? How do you address this. 336 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 3: And when asked, like what's the most fixable thing for 337 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 3: this team, John Harblock pointed to fundamental football and said 338 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 3: they need to work on the fundamental aspects of a game, 339 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 3: like blocking and tackling and doing the fundamental things right 340 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: and also talked about the run defense in particular, So 341 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 3: the run defense is not okay, and so like that 342 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 3: that fundamental stuff didn't feel like they tackled well enough today. 343 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 3: Those are things that the Ravens need to correct and 344 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: I do think that like some of those things, like 345 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 3: that's where the why the Ravens feel like it doesn't 346 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: matter who's out there, because on some of that it's 347 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 3: just if you do the fundamental things. It doesn't matter 348 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: if you're a veteran or a rookie, Like you know 349 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 3: how to do the fundamental aspects of football correctly. And 350 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: so that's something that the Ravens feel like they need 351 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: to get better at and they're going to be focused 352 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: on It's Kyle van Noy when when asked basically the 353 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: same question, he made the point that, like, I know 354 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: it can be easy to point to the fundamentals, but 355 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 3: that's the truth, Like that's that's the reality. It's not 356 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 3: an effort issue. It's an execution effort and a fundamental issue. 357 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 3: And so like that's what the Ravens really feel like 358 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 3: they need to do in order to get this thing 359 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 3: back pointed in the right direction. 360 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: We're just not used to seeing that because like in 361 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: previous years, sometimes sometimes you lose some. 362 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: Big plays, Like there's big plays. Man, the other team 363 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 2: made a great player. 364 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: Oh you know, you shut yourself to the foot, and 365 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: there's like you turn the ball over and that's what 366 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: decided the game. Like mar the margins were that kind 367 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: of tight, you know, like this was like it's it's 368 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: almost it's tough when it's the fundamental Like when you're 369 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: just getting beat the. 370 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: Fundamentals, it's not good, you. 371 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: Know what I mean, Like I almost think that's a 372 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: it's an easier but harder fix. 373 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's we are not used to seeing it, and 374 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: like speaking specifically to the defense, like this defense, we 375 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: don't see teams march on this defense very often. But 376 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: the Texans were able to do it today. The Chiefs 377 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 3: were last week that and the Lions were. It's just 378 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 3: like it's not something that we're accustomed to, and so 379 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 3: it's hard and I don't think the Ravens the players 380 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 3: are either. I think that like I think that kind 381 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: of speaks to what Horrible's point was after the game 382 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 3: when he talked about like, based on on the level 383 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 3: of focus and preparation throughout the week, felt like it 384 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 3: was going to be a much better showing today, and 385 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 3: so when you have this final result, it's a little 386 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: bit stunning because you didn't expect to be here and 387 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 3: the Ravens are left in a situation where they're trying 388 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 3: to figure out why that is, how you correct it, 389 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 3: and they know they need to do it fast. Like again, 390 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 3: van neud made the point that I don't have many 391 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 3: chances left, so we need to figure it out quick. 392 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: Well, everybody's surprised by the way the Ravens have started 393 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: this season, and I think when you have a start 394 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: like this, some bigger questions start to be asked, basically 395 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: like what is there something fundamental and that we're not 396 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: talking about the football fundamentals now, Like fundamentally that's not 397 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: clicking right, Like why the Ravens feel like they're practicing well, 398 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: why is it not translating to the field? Is the 399 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: effort there is all that there? They feel like they 400 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: feel like the buy in is there, the effort is there. 401 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: You watch them playing late in this game, and the 402 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: effort they're still playing hard. It's just that they have 403 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: to execute better and once they start doing that, they 404 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: feel like they can turn things around and maybe get hot. 405 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that as you look at the team, 406 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 3: I do think that there's when you just take a 407 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 3: step back you look at it. No one expected the 408 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: team to be here at one of four and they 409 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 3: had the Rams coming to town next week. The Rams 410 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 3: are a really good team who have given the Ravens 411 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 3: challenges over the years. Like they've just been a good 412 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 3: team that are that's hard to beat, and they're coming 413 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 3: off a loss, so this is a really important game 414 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 3: for them in LA and then the Ravens have the 415 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 3: buy and coming off the by the Ravens have a 416 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 3: much more winnable schedule. When you go down the list 417 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 3: and you just look at it on paper, you feel 418 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 3: like here's a stretch where you have the potential to 419 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 3: stack some wins. But I do think, as I said earlier, 420 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 3: I'm not sure that the Ravens really like need to 421 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 3: be caught up in the well. You just come out 422 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 3: of the by and run the table here and then 423 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 3: it's off to the races. Like if that happens, that's great. 424 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 3: But like, but Isaiah likely made the point that when 425 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: you lose a game like this and you're in this 426 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: kind of a situation, it forces everybody to just like 427 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 3: look at what's what, like what's important now and try 428 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 3: to go one to know each week, like you're not 429 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 3: gonna try to You're not gonna win eight straight games. 430 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 3: Next week, you have a chance to win one game, 431 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 3: and so like, rather than worrying about like the big 432 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 3: picture and the playoff questions in the direction of the 433 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 3: team and all like that, all that stuff, you can 434 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 3: just be like, you just got to win this week. 435 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 3: You gotta win this practice and like all that sounds cliche, 436 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 3: but I do think that the Ravens are like, rather 437 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 3: than looking globally, I think they're like drilling down to 438 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,239 Speaker 3: the specifics and focusing on that and and that's how 439 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 3: they're going to get out of this thing and get 440 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 3: back on track. 441 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's definitely how they look at it. I mean, 442 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: I think that as people that aren't suiting up and 443 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: taking the field, like it's fair for us and fans 444 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: to be like, hey, this team came in with Super 445 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: Bowl expectations, like are we gonna are we gonna get 446 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: a playoff shot? 447 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 2: And how would we do it? 448 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: I think that's what everybody's thinking, like if we're being 449 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: fair out there, right and to a degree, Like the 450 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: notion basically is get healthy during the by get all 451 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: these players back and go on a run when the 452 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: schedule isn't quite as daunting as it has been. 453 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: Right, but the Ravens are leaving. 454 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: Themselves very very little room for air, like and they 455 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: and even to go on that run, even when the 456 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: players come back healthy, like, you got to play better 457 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: football than what we've seen so far, much better like 458 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: those teams many of those teams that we were looking 459 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: at as the softer part of the schedule currently have 460 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: better records than the Ravens ZO and so like, Yeah. 461 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 3: The run doesn't just happen because you just speak it 462 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 3: in to exist, that's correct, Like you have to go 463 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: win those games and play at a high enough level 464 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 3: to win those. 465 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they have to play better like with those starters, 466 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, not everybody left, Like the first 467 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: half of the Kansas City game was getting out of 468 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: control before a lot of those guys left, and so 469 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: they need to just play better football now. Now, I'm 470 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: also I think it's fair to say, like, can that happen? Yeah, 471 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: I think it can happen. I do, Like I have 472 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: not I'm not sitting here saying like it's done.
