1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge, presented by DraftKings. Wow, what a

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: game for the Ravens. They win nineteen to seventeen in

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: Detroit on Justin Tucker's record breaking sixties six yard field

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: goal that ripped out their hearts and gave me life. Maybe, Garrett,

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: how many times? How many times you've watched have you

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: watched that field goal? Be honest, I'm probably around Oh,

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm fifty plus plus. Oh, probably probably at least five

8
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: in the hour afterwards. Uh. And then you know, after

9
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: watching sunny night football, crawl on the bed, you know,

10
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: check the email one last time, pulling up. You know,

11
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: I watched it again, watch again. Then then you watch

12
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: it once a couple more times. Then you're like, well,

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: I gotta get the other angle. Watch every angle again.

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: So that was another dozen or so couple doesn't So

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: I'm probably fifty plus Okay, okay, I mean it was remarkable.

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: All right. Let me ask you this. When he goes

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: out there to line it up and it's sixties six,

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: he he already hit the sixty one yarder there. First

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: of all, I think that Justin Tucker is forever in

20
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Detroit fans nightmares. I mean, there's no question about that.

21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: I think I think the only solace that Lions fans

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: could take in it is that the Ravens only play

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: there once every eight years. So that's like the good

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: news for them. Otherwise they would just be justin Tucker

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: would be like the most hated man in Detroit. Well,

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: I haven't. I have a neighbor who I'm in my

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: fantasy league with here in the neighborhood who's a Lions fan,

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: and he just texted he goes untucking believable. It's gonna

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: be a good caption on a tweet. But so yeah,

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: so so it just was remarkable. Um, but I will

31
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: be honest when when it's when the when he's lining

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: it up and I was down on the field, which

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: was just a wild perspective of the whole thing and

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: how it unfolded. It was epic. It was really epic.

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: And when he's lining it up, it was tough to

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: tell exactly where he was on the field, and so

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm like, how long is this thing?

38
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean, like it's what, what is this a seventy

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: yr field goal? Like? How long is this field goal?

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I guess that's the only option, and

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: it reminded me actually, you know, you asked Hardball earlier

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: in the week about the sixty one yard or and

43
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: he was like, well, it wasn't really much of a decision.

44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: We just kind of had to do it. That was

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: sort of the only option at the time. And I

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: was like, well, I guess it's the same scenario, like,

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: are you unless you're just gonna heave it to the

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: end zone, this is probably your best bet. And it

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: takes off, and I'm like kind of willing it, you know,

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: trying to will it into pass the crossbar, And when

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: it hits it was it was wild because I know

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people on TV when it hits you

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you necessarily right away, like what happened from

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: where I was standing. It bounced a way of fast

55
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: and it actually hit the net after hitting the crossbar.

56
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: Um but I don't know, man, Just like the pandemonium

57
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: of the whole scene and the moment was was wild

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: to see unfold. Were you the guy who ran out

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: on the field and fell down? That was not me?

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: That was not When I saw that, I was like,

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, fifty chance, I was Garrett

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: not running on the field and celebration. It was not me. Um,

63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: we won't name names. There's some theories out there, there

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: are theories, but I am not one of the theories.

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean I was in Detroit for the

66
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: d and that press boxes in the rafters, isn't it?

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Oh my? And and I just remember being like, what,

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: like that was crazy. I can't imagine what it was

69
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: like on the field for a sixty six yard er.

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I think that the thing that

71
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: was crazy for me was like I really believe that

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: there was like a genuine level of shock amongst the players,

73
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: Like I think that like everyone's like, he's got a shot,

74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, but like everybody was just like did that

75
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: really happen? Did that really happen? Like I can't believe

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: that he made that. And Lamar Jackson was when he

77
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: found Tucker post game, that was kind of what he

78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: was saying. He was like, did that just happened? Like

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: did you really do that? And they spent some time

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: talking after the game. I thought it was pretty cool,

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: you know, justin told Lamar basically, um, we were with

82
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: you always, like we're with you always, and and and

83
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: Lamar to Tucker basically was saying, like I said, I

84
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: can't believe that happened, like just just true shock at

85
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: the magnitude of the kick, the distance, the situation, all

86
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: of it. Um watching on TV, I was like, as

87
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: soon as he hit it, I was like, oh he

88
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: got all that one. And I was like, and it's

89
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: straight like if if you got existance, it's got it,

90
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: you know. And then when I just started laughing, I

91
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: think I just started like like uproariously laughing. I mean

92
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: it was it was probably of like the fourth time

93
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: I threw my laptop on the day. I'm shocked this

94
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: puppies working this morning because Hollywood almost had to buy

95
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: me a new one. Hollywood always had to get me

96
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: the new Dell because oh yeah, well look, I mean,

97
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean the situation. I mean honestly, like like you said,

98
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: the situation is what's kind of crazy? Is that? I mean,

99
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: I I was thinking, my friend, mind was this is

100
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: one of the one of the worst losses regular season

101
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: losses that I can remember in Ravens history. I mean

102
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: in terms of just like not really a great team

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: that you're going against had had. I mean, I tweeted

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: that I lost fingers to count how many times the

105
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: Ravens counna put them away. I mean I was onto

106
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: the toes, you know, and just absolutely a game you

107
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: should have won coming off of the Chiefs win, you know,

108
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: like it was just oh, gonna be so bad. And

109
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: to go from that too, I mean, and when it's

110
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 1: fourth and nineteen, I was like, there's no there's no way,

111
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: fourth night, There's just that's there's no way at that

112
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: point with no time out in twenty something seconds of way,

113
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Well that's what kind of does get lost in. Like,

114
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: of course Tucker deserves all the credit for making that kick,

115
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: no question about it. But the fourth and nineteen throw

116
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: to Sammy Watkins to keep the game alive, yeah, was

117
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say equally as impressive, but it

118
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: was really impressive. And three games now, Lamar Jackson has

119
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: led the Ravens on fourth quarter go ahead drives. Of course,

120
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: they lost to the Raiders, but Lamar led him down

121
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: the field and took the lead late in that game

122
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: with what under a minute left, came back from eleven

123
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: points down late in the game against Kansas City, and

124
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: then leads this remarkable drive against Detroit to win that game.

125
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: So Lamar deserves a ton of credit for the way

126
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: he has played late in games. I think that was

127
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: kind of that's been one of the I don't know,

128
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: the knocks on him, can't come from behind, uh in

129
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: those types of situations. Well, he's done that consistently now

130
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: through the early part of this season, and I think

131
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: that boats really well for this team long term. The

132
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: other thing that I'll say that was a throw that

133
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: wasn't That wasn't like Lamar took off on a long run. Yeah,

134
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: that was just a frozen rope. That was a rope

135
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: to Sammy in the perfect spot. You know. The Lions

136
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: like watching that playback that because that was the other one.

137
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Last night before I went to bed, I was like,

138
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: let me watch the fourth night team throw, you know,

139
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: like I gotta I didn't appreciate, like you said, I

140
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: didn't appreciate that as much as I should have in

141
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: the moment. And like I went back and like the

142
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Lions looked like they were in heavy, heavy pre event,

143
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: which understandable, but like they just didn't even defend it

144
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: like very well, like they it was like they would

145
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: like that thought they already won the game. The same

146
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: with the kick, Like did they even come after that

147
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: kick really off the edges, Like, I mean, that was

148
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: just kind of surprised, right, I mean, that's a tough

149
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: kick to try to it's a dangerous No, that's a

150
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: perfect kick to block. I mean yeah, but then all

151
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you you're rough the kicker and move

152
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: it up fifteen yards and then you're kicking and just

153
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: like I don't think you can assume that the guy's

154
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: gonna make a sixty six yard or and you've got

155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: to bring the bring the house to try to stop

156
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: it around the edge of the middle shore gonna be low.

157
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Um No, I think that, Like the one thing is

158
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: wild right now is whether the Raves are two and one.

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: You can make the case they should be three and o.

160
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: You can make the case that they should be o

161
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: and three. And that's just kind of how it goes

162
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And if you're gonna be a team

163
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: that has success and wins a lot of games, you're

164
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna have something like this, Like you're gonna have some

165
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: that you're like either had no business winning, can't believe

166
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: you won that game, and it doesn't matter, Like, of course,

167
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: there's issues to figure out, there's things to work through.

168
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: But it's a heck of a lot better to be

169
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: able to do that after a win when we're sitting

170
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: here talking about how many times we're watching the game

171
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: winning historic kick like that is a much better way

172
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: to work out your issues rather than coming back from

173
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: Detroit and trying to and trying to you know, nurse

174
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: your wounds after losing a late lead in that game.

175
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, a win is a win, right,

176
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: They all count in the same We can roll out

177
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: ten more cliches here, but it's they're all true, you know.

178
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, when the Ravens are are fighting for a

179
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: playoff spot late in the year, they're gonna look back

180
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: on that Detroit win and say, man, it's a good

181
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: thing we got that one, you know what I mean,

182
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: And uh, that can be the difference between going to

183
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs or not. And uh it is just wild.

184
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean I can't think of three straight Ravens games

185
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: that were this wild in a row, even in the playoffs. Nothing,

186
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean, just just crazy finishes. I don't know, I

187
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: might need a heart transplant by the end of seriously, seriously,

188
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: I mean, like even like you know, you bring up

189
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: like the playoffs, like thinking about the Super Bowl run

190
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: in the Patriots game wasn't particularly close, the Colts game

191
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: wasn't particularly close. Super Bowl, and the My High miracle

192
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: we were um but uh, but yeah, these three straight games,

193
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: it's just like every single one you're thinking and also

194
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: like in this game, you're thinking, like at a certain point,

195
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: like all right, they're gonna pull away, They're gonna put

196
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: this one away. It's just and then and then the

197
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: door just left cracked open, and then the Lions came back,

198
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: and then all of a a sudden, they've got the lead.

199
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: It was reminiscent of Vegas in that way. Um, and

200
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: that like you had the you had the two score lead,

201
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: and you just couldn't put them away and let him

202
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: hang around, and then you find yourself in this exhilarating

203
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: end of game situation, which the whole game. That game,

204
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: This game was terrible to watch for fifty eight minutes

205
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: of it. More than the fifty nine and a half minutes.

206
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: I was just like, like I said, I was like,

207
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, come on, you know, for fifty nine

208
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: and a half minutes that was one of the most

209
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: unpleasurable games Ravens games to watch that I can remember,

210
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: but you get a lot of you get that incredible,

211
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: you get that incredible thirty seconds to end the game.

212
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: It's a slow burn, slower and oh my goodness. I mean, alright,

213
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: so let's let's let's talk about some of the issues

214
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: here that need to be resolved moving forward. We'll start

215
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: with Hollywood Brown. That was the obvious when three three

216
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: catches or three drops, all three might have been touchdowns. Um,

217
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: double wammy for me because I have Lamar and Hollywood

218
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: and my fantasy team, fantasy team. That's that's fifty points

219
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: left on the board. There. Nobody cares about fantasy team. Um.

220
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, look, I think here here's my take on Hollywood.

221
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: It clearly yesterday was it got into his head, you know,

222
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: after the first one, Um, the third one was just

223
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: a really gave me. The second one, he had beaten

224
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: the defender, He done the hard part. He was running

225
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: free and had beaten the defender step and a half.

226
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: And I think I think that clearly it got into

227
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: his head yesterday after the third drop, he looks sick

228
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: to his stomach. John Harriball talked to him, number of

229
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: guys talked to him on the bench, and Erica did,

230
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: and you could tell that that was that was weighing

231
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: on him certainly in that moment. Now, I also I

232
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: tweeted this during the game yesterday. Now he didn't have

233
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: another catch, so he didn't he didn't get their redemption

234
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: story yesterday. But the last time he had a game

235
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: like that was and this one was worse, but a

236
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: similar game like that was against Cleveland last year on

237
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: Monder Night Football, and then he came back with the

238
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: unforgettable game winner in that game. So I'm not, like,

239
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's I think that he can

240
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: bounce back from this, is what I'm trying to say.

241
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: I think that he certainly can recover from this. I

242
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: think he's a confident guy. But for whatever reason, yesterday

243
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: it got into his head. And you don't like to

244
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: see that happen obviously, So like, I don't know what

245
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: you do. Like, I don't think it's like get him

246
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: on the jugs machine, Like the guy can catch. The

247
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: guy's got he has a good hands. It's not a

248
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: hands problem. It's it's a head head problem, you know.

249
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: And And the thing was last year before that Cleveland

250
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: kind of touchdown catch was I mean, he went through

251
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: stretch to two to three games where where he had

252
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: a couple of drops per game. You know. Um, so

253
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: that's what he's got to avoid this time. He can't

254
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: let it bleed into multiple games. You just gotta put

255
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: it behind you. And and like you said, I think

256
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: he can, but he's got to prove that, you know,

257
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: And and I don't write it's not a jugs thing.

258
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: It's just he's got to make a few catches and once, honestly,

259
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: like once he makes three straight, it'll be done and

260
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. You know. The good news, like we said,

261
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: is guys getting open left and right. You know, the

262
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: Lions were committed to taking away the Ravens running game.

263
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: They were devoted to kind of trying to hem in

264
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and shut down the running attack. And wide

265
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: receivers are running free. I mean, that's the thing. As

266
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: long as if they're gonna do that, this Ravens offense,

267
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: in this iteration, the next evolution of the Ravens offense

268
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: is you have to be able to beat them when

269
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: they commit so many resources to stopping them run and

270
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens receivers and Mark Andrews were beating him. It's

271
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: just and Lamar Jackson was putting on the money just

272
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: they didn't make the catches. Yeah, yeah, and I know

273
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: that kind of the I don't know the conventional wisdom here.

274
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: I would say, all right, get Hollywood an easy one,

275
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: get him a screen early next week against Denver, just

276
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: to get the jitters out, and sure, that's fine. I

277
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: think that you could go that route, and maybe they're

278
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: able to do go that route. But I honestly don't

279
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: think that. To me, I think that it's he needs

280
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: to catch a big one, he needs to catch an

281
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: important pass, because I kind of disagree. I think. I

282
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: think because on those passes it was in the air

283
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: a while, it was a significant but especially the second

284
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: and third one, they were in the air a while,

285
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: he had time to think about it. Yes, it's not

286
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: a screen pass. It's not a screen pass. He had

287
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: time to think about it. And I don't think he

288
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: needs a game winner. I don't think he needs like

289
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: a game winner. But I agree it can't be like

290
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: a five yard slant. I think like it has to

291
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: be a deep pass. Yeah, I must saying it needs

292
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: to be a game winner, but it can't be an

293
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: can't be the the screen to open the game on

294
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: the second play for three years. Right, that's not I

295
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: would I would agree with the hurdle that he needs

296
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: to overcome. Right, it's it's the long one where he's

297
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: got time to think about this thing coming down and

298
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: making that grab. I agree. I agree. Sammy Watkins almost

299
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: ended up on the wrong the wrong list, Lyssa. Don't

300
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: want to be on for not getting out of bound. Yeah.

301
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: For I was watching that back and I was like, what,

302
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know, Yeah, that was that was wild too.

303
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean he's trying to make a play, but yeah,

304
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: you just gotta get out of bound in that situation,

305
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: get out of bouncey called clock. Getting four extra yards

306
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: is not worth the extra twenty seconds burning off. I'm

307
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: not sure you got four extra you might have gotten

308
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: three extra extra. Yeah, I watched that. He got all

309
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: need Yeah, exactly right now. I fought for those extra

310
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: yards and I got exactly what we needed. No joke,

311
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: one one ft one ft shorter wouldn't have had it.

312
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: Might have been six inches shorter, might not have had it.

313
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean it would have been yeah. Yeah, Um. Then

314
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: you know the Ravens defense, I think you know the

315
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: second first half was great. Shut the lines out in

316
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: the first half, Jared Goff wasn't doing anything. I mean

317
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: it was t J Hockenson completely handcuffed him. Jimmy Smith.

318
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: It was great to have him back. And then DeAndre

319
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Swift gets going and the linebackers had just had problems

320
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: covering them. You know, the defensive line was shorthanded already

321
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: because of Covid. I mean the Ravens were without three

322
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: of their top four defensive linemen. Yeah, Brandon Williams, Justin Maddibike,

323
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: and Derek Wolf all out. It's Clais Campbell's the fourth guy.

324
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about Covid almost biting the Ravens

325
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: like on the d line almost got him on that one. Uh.

326
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: And so the defense obviously has to to tackle better.

327
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: That was a point of emphasis from John on Hardball

328
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: after the game. It was something that Wing Martindale talked

329
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: about it last week. Uh, they have to have better tackling. Um. So,

330
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: I don't know how you the the issue with that

331
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: is mid season. It's not like you're strapping on the

332
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: pads and practice, you know. Um, I'm not sure what

333
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: the easy fixes for that. Well, this is kind of

334
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: along the lines of this question that we got. You

335
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: can email us at the lounge at Ravens dot NFL

336
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: dot net. It's not just about the tackling, but it's

337
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: about kind of this, this notion of not being able

338
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: to put a game away UM and finding yourself in

339
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: these uh nerve racking late game situations, says, Hey, guys,

340
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: it's rs. He was hyped for Legatron's big field goal today,

341
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: but he can't help but wonder about how the Ravens

342
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: first few games have played out so far. Two wins

343
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: have required somewhat something of a miracle to secure UM,

344
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: and the loss there seems to be a trend of

345
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: the offense leaving some points on the board and the

346
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: defense only being able to control the game for the

347
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: first half. So his question is is there one your

348
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: component to a complete game that the Ravens are missing

349
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: or trying to figure out? So is it? Is it

350
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: tackling on defense? What do you think it is? I mean,

351
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: on defense, it's been it's funny, you know. I mean

352
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs it was the second half defense was

353
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: really strong. Got a couple three and out or a

354
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: couple of stops. I don't know if there are three

355
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: and ounce and the turnovers, two turnovers, interception, force fumble.

356
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: So you know, wing Martindale last week was like if

357
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: we take the you know, the first half from the

358
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: Raiders game, the second half from the Chiefs game, put

359
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: them together pretty good. You know, now you've had the

360
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: flip side, you know, the second half, the lines kinda

361
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: started getting on a roll. I mean probably I would

362
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: have to say tackling has been the biggest issue for

363
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: the defense. Here's what I'll say. Overall, I don't know.

364
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't know where the Ravens are gonna finish this year,

365
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: how good, how far they can go. You know, we're

366
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: counting up sizing it up last week right after the

367
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs win. After that, when you don't you're not really

368
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: feeling like it's sizing up mode. You know, Um, I

369
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: don't know how far they go, but I'll tell you what,

370
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: just the resiliency, the you know, they talk so much

371
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: about trust, faith, those things. After this game, like the

372
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: Ravens are building something right, like they're building something special,

373
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: And you kind of get the feeling after that Troit

374
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: win like something something special gonna happen this year, you know,

375
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: like it's like a mile high miracle. Hey, diddle, diddle,

376
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: you know game that you're like, oh, wow, never should

377
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: have won that. And then you look back and if

378
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: you're telling this the story of Ravens team, of course

379
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: this is right there, you know the first paragraph. I mean,

380
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: because just all the injuries obviously has put this team

381
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: in a precarious position. And then you have, on top

382
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: of it, going into this game you lose three of

383
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: your top four defensive lineman put on the COVID list.

384
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about shorthanded. Holy cow, this team

385
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: has been dealt every bad card in the deck and

386
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: then still find a way to win. Like that's character

387
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: building stuff, and that's kind of what I'm speaking to.

388
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't know. I don't know if

389
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens have enough players that aren't injured and all that.

390
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: Like I'm not positive that they have the horses too

391
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: to win it all. I don't know tv D right,

392
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: but I do know that like they're building something like

393
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: that team chemistry, all those intangibles that it takes to

394
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: win a championship. They're building those and the resiliency that

395
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: all that, the facing adversity, all that stuff, Like they've

396
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: got it. Yeah, And I I I I do think

397
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: this year is showing it. It's tough early on the

398
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: first month to really tell who's good in the NFL. Like, yeah,

399
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: like the Steelers, who thought the Chiefs would have two losses? Yeah,

400
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have two losses. The Steelers beat the Bills

401
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: in Week one and then lose back to back games

402
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: and including last yesterday to the Bengals where they kind

403
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: of kind of blown out. Basically, Um, you know, the

404
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Packers lose bad, bad Week one. Now they've won the

405
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: bad last two games and come up with their own

406
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: thrilling victory over thee Is, who everyone thought was so good.

407
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: So like, it's just there's a lot of that going

408
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: on right now, and it's tough to determine kind of

409
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: how great every team is. Um, but I still believe,

410
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: as I've said before, that this Ravens team is one

411
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: that I think is gonna win a lot of games

412
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs, and then from there, we'll

413
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: see what happens. All Right, We're gonna take a quick

414
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: break and give you our final thoughts on this game

415
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: and also look ahead to next week's game against Denver.

425
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: I want to talk about here, Garrett, is the Ravens

426
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: rushing attack. Now, let's start with a positive. Okay, they're

427
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: on the cusp of breaking another NFL rushing record. You

428
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: know what that one is? I don't. I feel like

429
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: they've broken so many anti rushing records over the past

430
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: three years that they all just kind of run together.

431
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: So what's the What's next? On the right, So, the

432
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: Ravens have now rushed for at least one hundred yards

433
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: in forty two straight games. That's the second longest streak

434
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: in NFL history. Pittsburgh ran for over a hundred and

435
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: forty three straight games from nineteen seventy four to nineteen

436
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: seventy seven. So one more, one yard game in Denver

437
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: and they tie the record for most consecutive yard rushing games. Okay,

438
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: M pretty cool. That's that's a pretty good record. Ravens

439
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: barely got over it hundred and sixteen yards against Detroit,

440
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: which was surprising considering they entered the game with a

441
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: not particularly strong run defense. And what was more surprising

442
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: is Tyson Williams did not get the podcast bump. Yeah,

443
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: our guy, Our guy did not get the bump. Five

444
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: carries for twenty two yards. Latavius Murray had more carries,

445
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: seven for So what do you make of that of

446
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: of Tyson getting you know, the second most and Lamar

447
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: had seven carries for fifty eight yards. So what do

448
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: you make of that situation? Well, it is interesting. Um,

449
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens have been pretty clear all along that they're

450
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: not going to have a lead dog, especially after all

451
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: these injuries, that it's gonna be a rotation by a

452
00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: by committee, by approach. Now, I have thought that Tyson

453
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: would probably be the the leader of that committee, and

454
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: I've liked what I've seen from him, so I was

455
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: surprised to see him get less action this week. I

456
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: mean it just it caught me off guard a little bit.

457
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: It seems to me like the Ravens really do like

458
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: Ottavias Murray. And also like with Murray, it's not really

459
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: a surprise to see him getting a larger share of

460
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: the workload as he goes along. Like for the Raiders game,

461
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: the guy had had two practices, so you kind of

462
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: expect him to get a limited amount of action in

463
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: that game. So he's just kind of the putting more

464
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: on his plate. But yeah, I mean I like Tison

465
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: Williams and so I would like to see him probably

466
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more. You know, five two Ottavias was

467
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: seven for twenty eight. That's four yards of carry. Tyson

468
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: was four point four yards to carry. So it's not

469
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: like DeVonta Freeman got three carries for eight three for

470
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: eight on Freeman two point seven yards to carry. I

471
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: think that the Ravens, based on what I can tell,

472
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: they think that all these guys are maybe kind similar.

473
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: They like the Tavi's ability to beat the hammer, tough

474
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: guy to tackle, can fight for short yards. Freeman is

475
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: often used in third down situations. The other wild card

476
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: here is if we ever see Levian Bell. You know,

477
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: he's been on the practice squad, hasn't been activated f

478
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: the practice squad, yet who knows is he gonna play

479
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: at some point. I feel like they're getting Levan in

480
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: game shape, you know. I mean, he wasn't in anybody's camp. Uh,

481
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,959
Speaker 1: he wasn't in anybody's program all summer long. And I

482
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: feel like the Ravens are their outlook with him is

483
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: all right, Let's let him get a bunch of practice

484
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: under this. Let's like put him through a training camp

485
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: that's not really I mean, in season practices are not

486
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: like a training camp practice. But let's give him an

487
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: extended runway here and get him in football good football shape.

488
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: And if we can get Levan bell, you know, anywhere

489
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: close to what he used to be, yeah, we'll act.

490
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: We'll bring him up and activate him. But like that's

491
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: kind of just a bonus. He's like this like wild

492
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: card that if it works out, great, if it doesn't, okay,

493
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: So I just like moving forward. It It's tough for

494
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: me to kind of tell who's going to get the

495
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: biggest workload in this backfield. I'm starting to believe that

496
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Otavias Murray. That was the case yesterday,

497
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's gonna get more action than

498
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: Tyson Williams. That's what it seems like to me. I

499
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be a drastic difference. I think

500
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think it's gonna be a fifty

501
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: fifty split. I also wonder how much they like the

502
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: veteran in a loud road environment versus the you know,

503
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: essentially kind of what is a rookie Tyson's in his

504
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: second year after Pea squad last year, you know, big situation,

505
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: high stakes, loud, all that stuff. Maybe they just kind

506
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: of like the veteran a little bit, you know, ball

507
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: security reasons. Maybe I'm not sure, but it seemed like

508
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: that was the game plan, like Tyson. It wasn't like

509
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't like the Raiders game where Tyson was hot

510
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: early and then they in the second half. You know,

511
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: it just went with Latavia's um. It was seemed to

512
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: be pretty even split, if not a little shaded towards

513
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: it is from the jump. Yeah, yeah, I think that.

514
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like there was anything in this game,

515
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: at least from what I saw that like Tyson did

516
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: that they were like, all right, we gotta go with

517
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: the vetter in here, Like there wasn't. He didn't get

518
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: enough action to like have a moment like that. So

519
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: I agree. I think that was the plan moving coming

520
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: into the game, and I think it may might be

521
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: the plan moving forward. But I don't think, just to reiterate,

522
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: I don't think we're ever going to find ourselves in

523
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: a situation where one of these running backs are getting

524
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: of the carries. That's just not how this team is operated,

525
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: and I don't expect that to be the case at

526
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: any point. I mean, I I don't know if Jake,

527
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, j K. Dobbins, even when everybody was healthy,

528
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: j K Dobbins might have gotten you know, with Gus,

529
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: I think the bus would have been saying, yeah, yeah,

530
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: oh yeah, probably closer. Yeah, um, just real quick, this

531
00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: week is Denver undefeated. They're undefeated. Um, So I don't

532
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: think that there was probably uh, you know, when we

533
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: do the old game, win lost win lost, win loss,

534
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people probably had this one as

535
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, you chalk it up as a win. But

536
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater quarterback, they're playing good football. They just had

537
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: a big win over the Jets, shut them out. You know,

538
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 1: It's not like the Jets are a great team. But uh,

539
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: Denver's playing well, So by no means is this one

540
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: that you should just you know, chalk up as an

541
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: easy win by any stretch of the imagination, right, I

542
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: mean Denver And we talked about the Ravens approaching the

543
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: rushing record. Denver's second best rushing defense in the league

544
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: right now, only giving up fifty nine point three rushing

545
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: yards per game seconds of the Carolina Panthers. So you

546
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: know that's the Ravens strength obviously is running the ball.

547
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna need to throw it and they're gonna need

548
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: the wide receivers to catch it. Uh to beat the

549
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: Denver Broncoes in Mile High Here's my question. Does Justin

550
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: Tucker said a new record? Yes? Absolutely? Thin air? Thin air?

551
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: Can you go six? See eight? He might? He might?

552
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna be a storyline this week. I

553
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 1: remember one time Afree this was several years ago or

554
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, he did the classic question of what's the

555
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: longest you could kick a field goal? And he was

556
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: basically like perfect situation, Denver. He had something crazy. It

557
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: was like eighty or something like it. It was like seven,

558
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: it was like ninety yards. Um, but what maybe we'll

559
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: see it. Maybe we'll see a new record this week.

560
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: All right, you want to before we guess what? Well,

561
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: Matt Praytor, the guy who held the record previously sixty

562
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: four yards, was in Mile High. Now that was in December.

563
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: I think it was December. It was late in the year,

564
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: so like it's usually cold, ball is a little harder,

565
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: like it's a little harder kick late in the year.

566
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: So give prayer credit for that. But he was in

567
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: Mile High also, so I think Tucker in early October Denver,

568
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: we're going seventy, Baby, we're going seven, all right, before

569
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: we go, do you want to hear the thing that

570
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: was actually more impressive than Justin Tucker sixty six r field. Yes,

571
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: this was the biggest storyline to come out of yesterday's game,

572
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise. It was your your guys lifting Brown

573
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: he ultimate miracle. Justin tucker sixty six yard game winner

574
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: was just the opening act for Cliff post game. Let

575
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: me tell you the full story. All right, So for listeners,

576
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: travels a little weird this year, so we're not necessarily

577
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: taking the team playing. There's a separate UH team charter

578
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: on the sales business side, not the one that the

579
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: players and coaches are on. Okay, and so this this

580
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: this bus is leaving. Basically, we know game ends. You

581
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: gotta hustle to the buses. Hustle to the buses, and

582
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: they're not right there on site. You gotta walk, you know,

583
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: a few streets over and find the buses. So it's chaos.

584
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's people exiting the stadium. Everyone's either really

585
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: excited or really angry. So but but you got a hurry,

586
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean basically walked right off the field. Did he

587
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: interview with Tucker and then and then hurry to the buses. Okay, Oh,

588
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: I know this Routina had to carry your dang luggage

589
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: after the rate the Vegas game. The bus. Now we

590
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: know that our boss Michelle carried the luggage. You didn't

591
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: help out, That's what I heard. He just carrying up

592
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: two flights of stairs. I heard that you didn't help

593
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: out at all. So so so so anyway, I get

594
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: on the bus. You're we're getting the content out. All

595
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, buses are getting ready to leave. Where's Cliff.

596
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: Where's Cliff? Anyone's seeing Cliff? Anyone's see Cliff. Michelle's calling him? Oh,

597
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: Cliff still in the press conferences, the press conferences, what

598
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: do you Cliff, still in the press conferences. We know

599
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: we gotta be out of here in ten minutes after kickoff,

600
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: he's still sitting in the press conferences, farre away questions

601
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: and justin John hardball. So Cliff says, you know what,

602
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: busses go without me. I'll get my own way to

603
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: the airport. So we take off, we go to the airport.

604
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: When we get to the airport, we gotta go through

605
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: normal security, you know. So it's like, you gotta go

606
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: through normal security. It's not so Cliff gets an Uber

607
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: and he's going to the game, or he gets a cab.

608
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's stuck in trying. I was gonna say, yeah,

609
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Cliff definitely don't have the Uber

610
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: app on his phone. He gets, he gets and we're basically,

611
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, I've chalked up Cliff as

612
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: an l He's he's coming back the next day. I'm like,

613
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: Cliffs not making this plane. There's there's zero percent chance.

614
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: He starts to get close. So he's getting close. He

615
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: actually takes a cab, all right, So he's getting close,

616
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: and he actually gets his boarding pass from our head

617
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: of sales, Kevin Rocklets, who was kind of organizing this trip.

618
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: So he gets his boarding pass, he's at the airport.

619
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna make it. However, Cliff doesn't have cash to

620
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: pay the cab driver. Cab driver says, I don't take cars.

621
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: I'll take okay, Well, let me get to an A

622
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: t M. Cab driver says, I'll drive you to an

623
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: A t M. They leave there, he's that security. They

624
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: leave the airport to go find at a t M.

625
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: He goes to four different A t M s because

626
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: none of them are working one of them, one of

627
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: them was they had to unplug the machine from the

628
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: wall because they tried to eat Cliff's card and they

629
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: had to get his card out of the dam. So

630
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: he goes to all that. On his fourth one, gets

631
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: the money, pays the guy, hustles through security, find some

632
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: nice Ravens fans in line who let him cut to

633
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: the front of the line. Goes through security, sprints to

634
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: the to the plane. We're I mean, we are locked

635
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: and loaded, ready to go on the plane. And then

636
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: Cliff comes on sweating after a terrible hour of trying

637
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: to get to the airport and the whole plane erupts.

638
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: It was louder than when Justin Tucker kicked the game winner.

639
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: The plane went and that was the most miraculous thing

640
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: to come out of Sunday's game. Oh my gosh, my

641
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: guy Clift on an epic story. Yeah. Oh, he must

642
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: have swept through that suit. Take that one straight to

643
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: the laundry. I just that's throw that in the track

644
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: when you get home. That's true. Wow. Well, I'm sorry

645
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: I missed it. I'm sorry I missed the moment. But

646
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: that Cliff story. If I'd been there, Cliff wouldn't been there,

647
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: and that's a story for the age. It's it's kind

648
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: of like the Tucker kick, you know, if the Ravens

649
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: you just put the game away and then you don't

650
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: get the sixty six yard empic game winner, so it

651
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: all works out nice. Well, thanks for listening to everybody.
