1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. It's a Size 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: him Up Monday. Ravens beat the Pittsburgh Steelers sixteen the 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: fourteen in Pittsburgh. Garrett, I know you were scared. You 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: were scared heading in as always when we play Steelers, 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: you're probably scared throughout. I had a measured the entire time, 6 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: just like my ring size measured. Finally I picked the 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: Ravens to win. I might have been on an island 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: and doing so, Garrett and came to fruition my friend. Well, 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: yeah it was Um. Look, I was nervous. I won't lie. 10 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: I was nervous, um playing in Pittsburgh, and then maybe 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: a little extra nervous once Tyler Huntley goes down and 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: you know the the Steelers were driving at time. So 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: I was nervous. I was nervous. But the Ravens found 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: a way to get it done. Timely turnovers, a dominant 15 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: running game, um, and just a grinded out a scene 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: in orth December football kind of win. And this is 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: the size of Up Monday. You can talk about, you know, 18 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: win and ugly or whatever and all that stuff, but 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: if you beat the Steelers on the road, at this 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: time of the year with a backup quarterback and then 21 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: a third string quarterback. Yeah, that's the size them up Monday. 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: So I'm feeling pretty good this morning exactly. That qualifies. Yeah, 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: it's it's so funny man, Like I I got some 24 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: tweets yesterday, you know, a mixed drink in the purple 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: kool aid again. You know. Well, to beat the Steelers, 26 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: who have been struggling, the Ravens had to run the 27 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: ball really well. They had to get three turnovers, they 28 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: had to get this, they had to get Yeah, that's 29 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,279 Speaker 1: called doing things Like why are we penalizing the Ravens 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: for doing things? Well, you know what I mean, Like, 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: it's just it's just beyond me. Um. You know. My 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: big takeaway from this game was the Ravens went into 33 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: it saying, the winner of this game is going to 34 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: be the team who runs the ball well and stops 35 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: the run, right, And that's what they did, right. This 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: was a f C North Ravens blueprint, old school style 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: win where you just it's a smash mouth game, it's 38 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: physical and the Ravens at the end of it. The 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: Steelers landed some shots too. You know, they were physical too. 40 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: But the Ravens arm was raised at the end of 41 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: this one. And when you run for two hundred and 42 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: fifteen yards, the Steelers only ran for sixty five Nagy 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: Harris only thirty three, right, Like, this is an old 44 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: school style win. And then you get three turner reverse defensively. Uh, 45 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: this is kind of the way the Ravens envisioned a 46 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: f C North football And this is how they think 47 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: you win a f C North football in December, and 48 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: they did it. I'm with you on that. I also 49 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: think it like it's even more you feel that way 50 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: even more when you know that you're gonna be playing 51 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: without your starting quarterback and then and then you know, 52 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: then stoop goes down, So then it's like you knew 53 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: that you were going to run the ball a lot. 54 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: And I think that that was certainly the game plan 55 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: that was that was kind of obvious. And then once 56 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: you have the success running the ball of the Stelers 57 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: couldn't really stop it. You know, there were some some times, 58 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: but two fifteen yards on the ground, when the Ravens 59 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: needed to put up yards, they were able to do it, 60 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: as evidenced by that nearly eight minute drive in the 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That John Harball said, We're gonna count that. 62 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: That one's gonna go into history books. Is one of 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: the great drives in this rivalry. And that was. That 64 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: was a monster drive to move the ball, take off 65 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: that much time, and then make a two score game. 66 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: That was That was maybe the drive of the season, 67 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: maybe the drive of the season, one of the best. 68 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: Uh and so um, it was just well and and 69 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: just when when everybody in the stadium knows the Ravens 70 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: are going to be running the ball right, everybody in 71 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: there knows, and to be able to still run it, 72 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: that really says something about your team. You know, all 73 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: those concerns last week about the Ravens running game and 74 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: all that stuff, we're not talking that way today, right 75 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: And in part because of J. K. Dobbs. Do you think, uh, 76 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: do you think hardball is gonna get any questions during 77 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: his pressure conference today about you know, the yards per carrier, 78 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: the design of the run game. I don't know, it 79 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: was it was it was a thing of beauty. It 80 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: was a different kind of beauty, but it was a 81 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: thing of beauty to have that much successful. I love 82 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: the way that the Ravens played offensively yesterday. I mean 83 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: when you I just thought it was it was it 84 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: was smart, it was efficient, it was old school, it 85 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: was um you know, it was dominant. And we I 86 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: think one of the things we've seen and I always 87 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: go back to, like when we had Kenyan Drake on 88 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: the podcast and um, I think it was the Bucks 89 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: game right where he talked or maybe it was the 90 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: Saints game where he talked about basically, the human wheel 91 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: can only take so much and you kind of wear 92 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: teams down over the course of a game. I think 93 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: there was an element of that yesterday and we saw that. 94 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: And when the Ravens needed their offense to move the 95 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: ball at the end of the game, I just mentioned 96 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: the eighth made a drive and then and then then 97 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: to just salt it's away at the end of the 98 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: game to get the first down and then end the 99 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: game in victory formation, when like I know, a lot 100 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: of Ravens fans were nervous. She the Ravens get the 101 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: ball back, the Steelers scored and under a minute and 102 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: you're like, you gotta be kidding me, you gotta be 103 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: it's just gonna happen again. And then the Ravens get 104 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: the ball back and you're like, all right, you need 105 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: one or two first downs, Just go get a first down, 106 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: Go get a first down. And and everybody knew they 107 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: wanted to keep the ball on the ground and to 108 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: be able to to get that first down. So that's 109 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: a lot about this line. And of course Gus Edwards, 110 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: who who was the one who picked that up? Oh yeah, 111 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: the the this gust six yard run got a big 112 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: fist bump from the couch for me. Big that I 113 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: mean that play, that that it reminded me of some 114 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: of the really memorable plays from what was it last year, 115 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: right against the Chiefs. Right, it's like fourth and one, 116 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: go for it to win the game, you know, some 117 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: of the hell yeah, coach, let's go for it like moments, 118 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: right like that one. That was a signature play and 119 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: moment for this team this season, that six yard run 120 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: by Gus Edwards and just schemed up, well, execute a 121 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: well just an awesome, awesome moment um. You know, one 122 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: thing I think that really stood out to me and 123 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: I talked about how this is kind of the old 124 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: school win. And you know, we've heard over the past 125 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: week that the Ravens kind of blueprint for success has 126 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: taken some heat right, like the lack of investments and 127 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: wide receivers and and putting a lot of money in 128 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: the defense and the ground you know, ground and pound 129 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: running attack that that that has taken some heat, right 130 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: and you know heard people calling it you know, old school, 131 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: and they they're refusing to come out of their ways. 132 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: It's archaic. It's it's what you know, it's what can't 133 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: win in today's NFL. Well, you know what, I think 134 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: that's a bunch of hogwash, right, And and sure everybody 135 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: wants to compare the Ravens to the to the Chiefs, right, 136 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: everybody wants to compare the Ravens the Chiefs. Well, they're 137 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: not the Chiefs, they're not, right, Like Patrick Mahomes is 138 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: a different kind of dude, right, different kind of cat 139 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: and like too. But to say like that's the only 140 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: way you can win games, it's just flat out wrong. 141 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: It just is. And you know, you invest a bunch 142 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: of money in Marcus Williams, You you invest a second 143 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: round draft pick and trading for Roquan Smith, right, you 144 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: invest in building up this defense. Well, Marcus Williams gets 145 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: a pick, Rokwan Smith gets a pick in a sack, right, 146 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: Like those investments helped win the game, right, and you 147 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: invest in an offensive line that paves the way for 148 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: two fifteen yards on the ground, Like this is the 149 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: way the Ravens feel like they can win best And 150 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: guess what, they're three and oh in the A s C. North. 151 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: They just went into Pittsburgh and one in December with 152 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: their third string quarterback. So you know what, save that 153 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: conversation for another day for me. You you want to 154 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: you want to wait until you know the Ravens face 155 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: achieved in the playoffs and and whatever, and we'll see 156 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: what happens then, and you want to have a conversation then, 157 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: all right, But after this win, I want to hear 158 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: in the morning he come on, this is the size 159 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: of my wineing you're having the conversation on the size 160 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm on Monday. You're saying, stay of the conversation, but 161 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: then you're trying to have the conversation. Well, I'm just 162 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: I've heard you heard that all week and then you 163 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: see a game like this and it clearly proves otherwise. Yeah, 164 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: it was you can you can win this way. The 165 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: Ravens have have done it.

It was like, this is gonna 172 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: be a thing of beauty, This is gonna be a 173 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: dominant running attack. And then both those guys end up 174 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: missing the season and then they've been in and out 175 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: of the line up this year and you just haven't 176 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: seen it, Like we've kind of been robbed of seeing 177 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: these two dynamic running backs who compliment each other so well. 178 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: They both have their strengths, and they're there. They can 179 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: both be bell coal running backs, Pro Bowl caliber running backs, 180 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: and we gotta we gotta taste of it. Yesterday j 181 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: K goes over a hundred yards and his first game 182 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: back from the scope, which I just felt so good 183 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: for him, Like, this is a guy who's been working 184 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: so hard, he's wanted to play, he's been doing everything 185 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: he can to get on the field, and like you 186 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: talk about a guy that loves football, wants to play, 187 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: wants to be out there, and like, whose injury really 188 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: took a toll on him, like physically, mentally, all of that, 189 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: and then to see him have the big day, I 190 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: just I just love that for him. Um. And then 191 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: Gus to get that six yard carry and Gus put 192 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: up sixty six yards j K Hunter twenty. So both 193 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: these guys like had just really excellentatives and it's like, Okay, 194 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: this this is the ground game that we've kind of 195 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: been envisioning, and it's not even a hundred percent there yet, 196 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: like j K said that after, and also Lamar Jackson 197 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: is out there, so it's like it's not right, your 198 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: best runner, your best like it's not a pent there, 199 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: but we maybe saw of it, you know or whatever. Um, 200 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: and that was that was fun to see. Yeah. I 201 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: mean when j K busted up out for that four 202 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: yard carry, you know, as soon as I saw him 203 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: trying to get into top gear, I was like, oh, 204 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: j K, j K there yet, you know, like you 205 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: could just kind of see him shaking off the rust, uh, 206 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: you know when he was trying to really get up 207 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: and gallop and uh. But I I really truly felt like, 208 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,599 Speaker 1: you know, a he still had plenty plenty there to 209 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: be effective and be a difference maker, I mean very 210 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: next carry after the forty four yard or punches it 211 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: in for a six year touchdown, showing really good balance, 212 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: physicality picking his way through the traffic there. Uh. And 213 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: then I honestly thought that he looked better over the 214 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: course of the game, Like the knee looked better, Like 215 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: he just seemed to be running better and and running 216 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: fearlessly quite honestly, like dude, just you know, whatever it 217 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: was gonna take, he was gonna give it to you. 218 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: And uh, and I think I think that, uh, he 219 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: will only get stronger and better as he continues to 220 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: kind of you know, even though he had the scope 221 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: to kind of speed up the recovery. It doesn't mean 222 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: he's he's a percent right now, right, He's going to 223 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: continue to work through that. But I thought that he 224 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: looked certainly better than he did before the scope, and 225 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: I think he'll only continue to get better down this. Yeah. 226 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: I love um Jake. He's got a great running style, 227 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: Like I love his vision, um, and he just he 228 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: has some patience in the whole um as he waits 229 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: for things to open up. And he he like yeah, 230 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: he he, I think he's he's still certainly missing the 231 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: top gear and some of the burst that he had 232 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: pre injury. But like the mental side of things and 233 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: the way he sees the field, that's not gone away. Um, 234 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: the competitiveness is certainly, if anything, the competitiveness has only grown. 235 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: And uh, and I think we saw all of that 236 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: and that, you know, like as I said, like, this 237 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: is a dude who wants to be out there. He 238 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: wants the game in his hands. He would look over 239 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: the sidelines and you know, do you all feed me? Uh? 240 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: He wanted the ball, and I was just I was 241 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: really happy for him, and like, if he can stay 242 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: healthy and Gus can stay healthy. Now they got you know, 243 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: they playing on a short week, only one day short. 244 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's not like a Thursday night game. But 245 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: like these are always the questions we've seen it this year, 246 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: like you know, okay, so you played the game, how 247 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: do you respond? Um, how do you feel after this? 248 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: And I hope that if him and Gus can can 249 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: continue to if they can be healthy, I just have 250 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: really high hopes for what those two guys, how they 251 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: can kind of carry this rushing attack down the stretch. Yeah, 252 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: and j K, you know they kept him twenty six 253 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: offensive snaps he played less than half of the offensive snaps. Uh, 254 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: you know Gus had, but they didn't. They didn't grind them. 255 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: They didn't grind them, you know what I mean. So 256 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are taking the way to proach 257 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: with him. Also, uh in a in a game that 258 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: they obviously I really wanted to have, but still didn't 259 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: put too much on his plate. So I thought, I 260 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: thought it was really good. This is obviously this is 261 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: I just while we're talking about that, I want to 262 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: read this email from Christopher Wells. You can email us 263 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: with the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. A. Man, 264 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: it was so nice to watch that formula that was 265 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: Ravens ball, all the way defense and running the football. 266 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: They knew there, this is what I'm talking about. This 267 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: sounds like, you know, like this is this is music 268 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: to your ears here. They knew that we were going 269 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: to run the ball and they still couldn't stop that. 270 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: Pretty sure you said that earlier. Um So, the combination 271 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: of j K and Gus looked amazing, but huge credit 272 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: to the old line. Lender Bomb continues to improve and 273 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: dominate every single week. Also, Ronnie Stanley back in the lineup, 274 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: just elevates the entire offensive line. Um So, he has 275 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: a few more thoughts there, But I want to get 276 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: your take on Ronnie being back and this offensive line 277 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: and how that allowed the Ravens to to play to 278 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: this formula that we're talking about. Yeah for sure. I mean, 279 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, we were saying this earlier in the year 280 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: when Ronnie Stanley came back, returned to the field the 281 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: first time, and we said, man, that guy is like 282 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: playing at all pro level again immediately, and what a 283 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: difference it makes. You know, Like in some of the 284 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: Ravens big grinded out running wins against Tampa Bay, against 285 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: against the Browns, against the Saints, like where they ran 286 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: the ball really well and uh just kind of wore 287 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: those opponents out in the second half. Ronnie Stanley was 288 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: on the field right then Ronnie goes down in the 289 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: Carolina game, and oh suddenly the offense doesn't look as good. Well, 290 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, it might be because they all pro left 291 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: tackles not on the field. That could be a reason. 292 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: You know, left tackle is kind of an important position. 293 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: Um So, so yeah, getting him back is really huge 294 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: and him playing at a high level again. You know, 295 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: I think it just I think to Christopher's point, and 296 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a good one. It kind of has 297 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: this magnifying effect across the entire line. You know, I 298 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: think Ben Powers is playing been playing another guy who 299 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: deserves a shout out. Pretty good football, good block on 300 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: the Gus Edwards game, ceiling run as well, Lendar bombs 301 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: and playing well. I mean also, Kevin Zeitler wasn't even 302 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: in this game, right like the Ravens, the Ravens Pro 303 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: Bowl right guard wasn't even out there, and still you 304 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: put up two fifteen yards on the ground like that. 305 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: I like a year. You know, Pro Bowl is going 306 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: on right now, and it's like, yeah, you just you 307 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: just go ahead, you just went haven't called it like 308 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: you It's not even like, oh, he's I think he 309 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: should be in the Pro Bowl, Like he is a 310 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl right guard? You put you because he hasn't 311 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: this this will be his first one. I'm just saying that. Yeah, 312 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: speaking in to Pro Bowl right, absolute assure it is. 313 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, ray lewis future Hall of Famer. 314 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's the same you said it with the 315 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: same traviction. So I like that, like, what did you see? 316 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: Did you see the block field goal by future by 317 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Clay Scamp. And I also saw Hall 318 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: of famer Justin Tucker set a new franchise record. Yeah, 319 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: exactly how many other Jackets who want to give out 320 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: right now? It's it's not only a seize about Monday, 321 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: it's a gold jacket on that. Uh. But yeah, I 322 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: think the point is a good one. The offensive line 323 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: is playing at a high level, and like, let's be honest, 324 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: this is gonna be the Ravens formula the rest of 325 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: the way. They're not gonna this sun turned into this 326 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: high passing attack, like they're gonna need a strong running 327 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: even when Lamar's back on the field, like they'll the 328 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: passing attack will obviously be better when Lamar's out there, 329 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: so will the rushing attack. But they're still going to 330 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: offensively be a team that leans on this offensive line 331 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: on this running game, the running backs and quarterbacks included, 332 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: and and you know, and then you hope to get 333 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: some big some some clutch plays move the chains you 334 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: need to get. You know, there were some some big 335 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: time passing plays mixed in there too. It's not like 336 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: you can ignore that. But this is gonna be the 337 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: bread the bread and butter for the Ravens the rest 338 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: of the web, no doubt, no doubt. And just as 339 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: a mention on Ronnie Stanley, you don't think John Harball 340 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: kind of made a you know, pretty honest point, like, 341 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: you know, basically after the after the game, he was 342 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: asked about him and with Ronnie, like he's been in 343 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: and out of the lineup over the past couple of years, 344 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: and it's like when when that's the case, you almost 345 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: like forget how good he is, you know, to a 346 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: certain extent, and you just sort of like the question 347 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: it's almost like just such such a big question or 348 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: whether he's gonna available to play that like that dominates 349 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: the thought. And then you're like, oh, yeah, what he 350 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: plays like. He's one of the best in the game 351 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: at his position. This is nice. I like this and 352 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Ronnie's played seven games this year, the Ravens 353 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: are six and one of those games only loss was 354 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: the game against the Giants um So he's a difference maker, 355 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt about it. And I think at 356 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: one other point on Ronnie, I thought it was interesting 357 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: after the game he said it was pretty emotional for him, 358 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, he suffered his injury the first time against 359 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: the Steelers with t J. Watt going into his ankle, 360 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, and that was it was a horrific injury. 361 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: And really, you know, that was tough for him and 362 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: his life just in general. And um, you know, to 363 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: go back out there in Pittsburgh with t J. Watt 364 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: on that other side, that was an emotional thing for him. 365 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: All right, here's another go ahead, let's I got we 366 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: got another email here. This is from John who emails 367 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: email at us to the lounge at Ravens that NFL died. Net. 368 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: I think we can attribute this win against the Steelers 369 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: to the Ravens having a deep bench. Okay, this is 370 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: the bench win, John says. I was impressed with how 371 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: seamless Huntley and Brown were able to step in and 372 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 1: fill Lamar's big shoes when we needed them to do so, 373 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: and how many other players from offense and defense made 374 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: huge place. Um. I hope Lamar felt a little pressure 375 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: coming off his back as he watched his teammates take 376 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: care of business from the sidelines. I'm sure not being 377 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: able to play as driving a bonkers, but our roster 378 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: has made such a good showing. Um and it's proving 379 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: to be a well oiled machine. I think we I 380 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: think this is what John says. Okay, I think I 381 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna say on this, but I think 382 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: that we should arrest make sure he's healthy until January, 383 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: just to be safe. Hm. Yeah, No, I don't know 384 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: if he's down with that plan. You know, the Ravens 385 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: do have, according to I think, to make the playoffs. 386 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: And I think it was sixty two two or sixty 387 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: one to win the division. Well, hey, I think winning 388 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: the division is a big deal. Uh. You know, you 389 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: get home games, you get at least one home playoff game. 390 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: So I want Lamar back to help with that mission. Um, 391 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not counting. You know, the chances were high 392 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 1: last year too, and so nah, I'm not taking anything 393 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: for granted. Uh. You know, I do think that you 394 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: wait until Lamar feels totally you don't rush to Lamar back. 395 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: I agree with that that statement, Like nobody wants to 396 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: rush themar back. You want him feeling good and healthy. 397 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: I thought it was a good sign this week. You know, 398 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: even though he didn't practice, like he wasn't ruled out 399 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: for the game one Friday, he was doubtful. He still 400 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: made the trip to Pittsburgh. He was still there on 401 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: the sideline, like you know, it's not like he's in 402 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: a full body cast watching from home, you know. So 403 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: I thought that was good good sign are and and 404 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: to be honest, I mean, we'll see when when he 405 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: gets back on the field, but um, he may end 406 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: up being out till January anyway. John may get his 407 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: wish here because you know, the report is that it's 408 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: such a sprained PCL, which could be a one to 409 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: three a week covery time. He's already missed one game. 410 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: If we were to be on the three week time frame, 411 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: that could potentially mean that he meant misses the Browns 412 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: game and the Falcons game, and then he would be 413 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: back January one. So I hope that he's back sooner 414 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: than that. Um. And uh, but John, you may end 415 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: up that may end up coming to fruition anyway. You know, 416 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna have questions obviously on the injury 417 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: front this week at quarterbacks. Like you know, Tyler Huntley 418 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: goes down with concussion, John Harball said after the game, 419 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: like he seems basically find me in there. But as 420 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: we know, like the concussion can be difficult to predict 421 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: how that's gonna go, and you gotta get cleared independently 422 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: and all that. So like you would hope that he 423 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: is cleared and ready to go, but does he miss 424 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,239 Speaker 1: practice time this week? Um? Does that linger? How does 425 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: he feel today? Like that's a that's a that's a um, 426 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: that's a big deal, big deal, especially if if the 427 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: if Lamar isn't ready to come back and play against Cleveland, 428 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: which we don't know. But yeah, no, yeah, I totally agree. 429 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: This is in the day for that. We'll save that talk. 430 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: What if you say that he's not We got our guy, 431 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown Man. We haven't even given Anthony a shout out. 432 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, dude, steps In hasn't played in 433 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: a regular season game. I wanted to go back and 434 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: look this up. How many even preseason snaps at Anthony 435 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: brown get Because I don't think it was a lot, right, 436 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: And so steps In? Can you imagine Gary, you would 437 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: be whizzing down your leg if you had to come 438 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 1: in in Pittsburgh on the one yard line. T J 439 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: Watson over there saying I'm gonna rip your head off 440 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: for a safety, like and then and then and then 441 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: the O C calls into play. In your helmet, Garrett, 442 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to drop back here, We're gonna gonna pass. 443 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: You would be all, you'd lose it. But no, not 444 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: my guy, My guy, Anthony Brown delivers. You know they 445 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: didn't they complete that first past three yard games and 446 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: Marcus Robinson. They end up punning on that drive. It 447 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: quite frankly, you know, just to dig their way out 448 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: of the shadow of their own end zone was a 449 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: big deal on that drive. Uh. And then comes down 450 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: the historic drive that you're talking about. You know, he's 451 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: facing a second in tent there not ideal, right, They 452 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: had an incomplete pass on first down. Then he completes 453 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: a nice sideline throat to de Marcus Uh where I 454 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: think six and sets up a third and four, finds 455 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews to move the chains and then the kind 456 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: of the running game took it from there to put 457 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: the ravens Uh in position for a field goal that 458 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: put them up a few scores. So you know, at 459 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day you look at three for 460 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: five or sixteen yards, but you take into all the 461 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: circumstances for Anthony Brown and dang Man pretty pretty impressive 462 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: job by the When one of those three is they 463 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: completion from the shadow of for your own goal post 464 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: on the first play of your NFL career, that's a 465 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: pretty good one. That's a good one to start, exactly. 466 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know the rule here and I 467 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: but I don't understand why Marcus Williams interception was not 468 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: ruled to touch back. I don't get why they end 469 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: up putting that at the one yard line. That makes 470 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: no sense. He basically it's like, there's no there's no 471 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: chance the guy could have stopped short age like he 472 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: caught it as he was cruising into the end. It 473 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: was like he caught in the tan yard line. He 474 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: kept running backwards, he caught at the half yard line, 475 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: running full speed. What do you want him to do? Exactly? 476 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 1: That almost worked out. I don't remember the down in 477 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: which the interception was thrown, but it almost worked out 478 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: as like the perfect punch. Yes, oh yeah. It was 479 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: like you can't get better than that. That Tramsky was like, 480 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, I just go ahead and get in front 481 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: of this and go ahead and pin him back deep. 482 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: Yeah I know, I mean, I know I'm gonna throw 483 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: an interception in the red zone at some point on 484 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: this drive. It was first intent. It was first intent, 485 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: all right, so I'll still take it. Still it was 486 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: a third down. Um, but yeah, I mean that was 487 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: a weird ruling. Side note. You know me, I love 488 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: nothing more than the belly ache about the refts, nothing more. 489 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm that guy, right, But I mean, come on, were 490 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: they not that a lot of them?

Oh 521 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: so all right, let's talk about this defense because another 522 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: another really strong game from them. Uh you know, Kenny 523 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: Pickett goes out after attempting one pass, sacked by Roquan 524 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: Smith on the first drive uh. And and he's out 525 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: of the game. And you know, at that point, thinking 526 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: all right, Mitch, alright, alright, we got this. Mitch was 527 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: kind of dealing. Mitch was Mitch was kind of on fire. 528 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: He just got into such a rhythm completing passes that 529 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: he also enjoyed completing passages to the Ravens. I mean, 530 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: the guy, the guy on here, he threw the ball 531 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: thirty times and he only had five passes going to three. 532 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: He went to ours. But I'm just saying he only 533 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: had there were not many passes in the dirt exactly. 534 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: I to be quite honest, like I thought, Mitch Risky, 535 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: play well, um if you take away the turnovers. And 536 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: so you know, the Ravens had their handsful. They kind 537 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: of found themselves all of a sudden in a little 538 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: bit of a shootout. You know, they were playing really 539 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: good run defense, as you mentioned at the top, sixty 540 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: five yards allowed. But Mitch was was throwing the ball 541 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: around and uh and so I thought this defense. You 542 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: know a lot of times, if if you're gonna give 543 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: up yards, you're gonna need to get some turnovers. And 544 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: I thought, really, obviously, Roquan Marcus Williams, Patrick Queen. You know, 545 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: two of those guys new additions to the team. This 546 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: was a game for me that said, hey, hey, those 547 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: are big time editions. One in the off season, one 548 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: of the trade deadline, and be welcome to Ravens Steelers. Boys. 549 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to Ravens Steelers. You are an Yeah, I mean 550 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: so a couple of things. Roquan Smith, I'll admit, has 551 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: been even better than I expected. Like I thought when 552 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,719 Speaker 1: the Ravens get him, I'm like, okay, Rokuan Smith, I mean, 553 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: he's maybe the best linebacker minside linebacker and awesome, that's great, Um, 554 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: But I didn't know how much of like an in 555 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: game impact you would see because sometimes inside linebackers just 556 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: like got a bunch of tackles and and you know, 557 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: they're not necessarily making splash plays. Like c J. Mosley 558 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: was here for a long time and he was he 559 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: was great. I mean CJ is also one of the 560 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: best linebackers in the game. Him and Rokwan Smith, or 561 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, two of the top three five whatever, um 562 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: and Patrick Queen right there right now too. But like 563 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: you don't always see these guys make splash plays. You know, 564 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: oftentimes it's the guys in the second area that they're 565 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: making more with the splash place. So I was like, 566 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: you know, Rokuan Smith will be here, I'll probably get 567 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of tackles, but how much does he actually 568 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: how much do we end a game and be like, man, 569 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 1: Roan dominates that he was the difference maker well yesterday 570 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: and altim multiple time games since he's been here, I've 571 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: been like, this guy is He's an animal. He he 572 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: changes the defense. He got the he got the pick yesterday, 573 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: he got the sack. Um, he flies all over the field. 574 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: He's always in the right place. He just elevates every 575 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: aspect of this defense. And then Patrick Queen playing right 576 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: next to him, There's no doubt. I mean, Rokuan said 577 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: this after the game, and I think that we've seen it. 578 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: They're the best one to punch at a linebacker in 579 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: the game right now. And and it's so he's making 580 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: everybody around him better. And man, I just think that 581 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: this trade has continues to look better every single week 582 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: because this defense is a strength of the team right now, 583 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: and Roquan Smith is quickly becoming a leader or the 584 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: leader of the defense. Um and man, it just looks 585 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: like a great move. Yeah, it totally does. I mean 586 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: I think that we all said with Roquan when he 587 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: first arrived, like, man, this guy seems like he's born 588 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: was born to be a raven, right, Like just everything 589 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: about him seemed very it fit perfectly into all our culture. 590 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: And then having a big game against the Steelers. Nothing 591 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: is more raven than that, Nothing makes you more raven 592 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: than that, and so you know, it just continued to 593 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: add another chapter to that whole narrative for Roquan Smith. 594 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: So I thought it was awesome just flying around the field. 595 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: This whole defense was just jacked up. Did you see 596 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: did you see the video of Class Campbell and the 597 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: defense going nuts on the sidelines during renegade. That's awesome. 598 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: It was like a dance party over there, Class Campbel 599 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: justin Mattabige, it was. It was awesome. Like this defense 600 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: has a lot of swagger right now. It just does. 601 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: And you know, I think they kind of feel, you know, 602 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: they feel have felt and obviously seen the offensive struggles 603 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: a little bit in recent weeks, and they know, like 604 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: our defense is, they've invested a lot in our defense. 605 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: Were a special unit. We have the horses here. We 606 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: can be dominant and we gotta carry it, you know, 607 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: and we gotta we gotta kind of be the leaders 608 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: here and they're doing it totally. And you know, Marcus Williams, 609 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: just like J. K. Dobbins, comes back off injured reserve. Hey, hello, 610 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: we miss you. Okay, great easy interception and he just 611 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: got like a brace on his arm, you know, basically 612 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: makes a catch with one hand. So welcome back. Uh. 613 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: Leads leads the team and interceptions played it played all 614 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: but once. Just a great return for him. So huge 615 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: to have him back. You know. Overall in the defense 616 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: of the turnovers, the turnovers were the difference, and you 617 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: know they did mask some yards that the Steelers had. 618 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: You mentioned Mr Trabisky moving the ball. Now turnovers count. 619 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: Those plays count, alright, so like, uh, the count for 620 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: a lot and so, um, the defense gave up probably 621 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: more yards than the regulars would like. And they was 622 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, Marlon Humphrey tweeted after the game, I was 623 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: liability and coverage. You got burned a few times. Um. 624 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: So he did not have his best day and so 625 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: there were there was the Steelers moved the ball, so 626 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: you get a little nervous about that. You know, they 627 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: gave up that touchdown. Um after the Ravens took a 628 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: two score lead. It was under a minute uh long 629 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: long drive and they punched it in the end zone. 630 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: You're like that that that should not have happened. Well, 631 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: you also get had a rough in the pastor call 632 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: on that, uh pass interference call on that. Yeah. So yeah, 633 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: totally going back to resting, No doubt it was. It 634 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: was aided a little bit, especially that roughing the pastor 635 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: especially that roughing the pastor anyway. Um, you know, so 636 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,239 Speaker 1: like I think in some ways it was not like 637 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: this defensive showing that was like it was a dominant defense. 638 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: It was not like they're not moving the ball. This 639 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: defense is just gonna control the game. But what the 640 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: defense did was come up with the splash plays. And 641 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: so like that's kind of where this defense they've got both. 642 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: They do have the ability in games to just dominate 643 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: and not let you get a yard. Like when this 644 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: defense is playing at its best, I think that they 645 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: can do that against really good offenses. But when they're 646 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: not doing that, then I also have the ability to 647 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: come up with these splash turnovers, which can be completely 648 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: game changing plays. And that's what the recipe was yesterday. Yeah, 649 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,479 Speaker 1: I totally agree. I mean, George Pickens, you know, sometimes 650 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: you got to tip your cap a little bit. George Pickens, 651 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: I thought looked pretty good out there for the Steelers. 652 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: Deonta Johnson made some plays. You know. One thing I 653 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: think the defense will be looking hard at, uh in 654 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: the film room is you know, miss tackles are a 655 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: little bit of an issue in this game also, and 656 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: the Steelers have some speedy guys. Don Johnson can make 657 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: people miss, you know, Steven Simms. They have some guys 658 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: that can make you miss. But still, the Ravens are 659 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: a team that pride themselves and tackling. Well, it's been 660 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: it hasn't really been in a shoe that we talked 661 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: much about, if at all really that I can recall. 662 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: This season technically has been pretty darn good. But you 663 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: saw some mistagles that were big in this game. That'll 664 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: be something I think that they kind of stressed this 665 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: week in practice also. So look, I mean, the Ravens 666 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: are sitting here at nine and four. They've got what 667 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: chance to make the playoffs, but the Bengals aren't giving 668 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: them any uh any leeway not And you know, going 669 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: back as as I did a few weeks ago, and 670 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: I said, the divisions done, the Ravens go in this. 671 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: It's part of my calculation there. I thought that the 672 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: Bengals were going to drop some of these games. You know, 673 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: they beat Tennessee, they beat the Chiefs, and now they 674 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: beat the Browns with Deshaun Watson. Back when I was 675 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: making that prediction, I thought they would drop at least 676 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: one of those games. Okay, So I was on that, um. 677 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: And you know, the Ravens could very well find themselves 678 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: in a situation where they gotta win out to win 679 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: the division like that could be that that maybe what 680 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: has to happen. Um. And you know, we'll we'll see, 681 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: uh how that goes. Um. But I mean, I guess 682 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: they could. I guess they could drop. I guess they 683 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: could drop another game and then they could beat the Steve. 684 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: They could beat the Bengals in that last game, and 685 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: then that would allow them, you know, so they could 686 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: drop one as long as that game is not to THEE. 687 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: It's certainly looking for it's certainly looking like that that 688 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: week eight teen games. I think it's gonna be something, right, right, 689 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean, the Bengals. You look at their schedule ahead. 690 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: They still have a game at Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay 691 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: has not been playing well at New England. That's not 692 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: gonna be an easy game. Then they had the Bills 693 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: and then the Ravens, so you know they still have 694 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: some tough games. But I agree with you. The Bengals 695 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: are playing well. That's just the facts. They're playing good football. 696 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: The Ravens don't really have breathing room. They're gonna have 697 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: to continue to win these games, starting Saturday against Cleveland. UM. 698 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: I just we had another email that I wish we 699 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: had gotten too earlier. Yessen comes from Matt Harris. Says, hi, All, 700 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 1: I'm a Ravens fan living in Iowa, and while grocery 701 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: shopping Saturday morning, I saw an older gentleman wearing a 702 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: Ravens hat. Made sure to compliment him on his hat, 703 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: and he told me his grandson is on the team. 704 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: Guy in Iowa, grandson plays with the team, with his grandson, 705 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: of course, being Tyler linder Bomb except for all the 706 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: Ravens flock. I made sure to tell him how great 707 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: Tyler has been so far as a Raven. Keeping with 708 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: the offensive line with the return of Ronnie Stanley and 709 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: with Kevin's Laitler presumably back next week. Do you think 710 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: the unit has potential to be dominant down the stretch? Yep, 711 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: you already talked about that, Matt. I think that it does. Um. 712 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: So I thought that was a game totally. Um, shout 713 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: out to a Grandpa linder Bomb. That's awesome. Yes, exactly, 714 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: shout out and in all honesty, just real quick on Tyler. Um, 715 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: He's he's been great this year. He really has, like 716 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: he I think he continues to get better. I think 717 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: that he's settled in. Um, he's been an anchor in 718 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: the middle of that offensive line. Um. But but yeah, 719 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: drafting Tyler linder Bomb has just been a has been 720 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: a really great move for this offense. And so, you know, 721 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: I think the question that everyone had on him, and 722 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: we talked about it with Tyler when he was here 723 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: on the lounge. You know, size, can you hand out? 724 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: Can you stand up? Well? He he's held up. Now. 725 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: There's gonna be the matchups that he loses sometimes against big, 726 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: dominant UM defensive tackles like that's gonna happen at times. 727 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: But he's got leverage, he has the ability to hit, 728 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: get to the second level and like the entire package 729 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: with him has been excellent. Totally agree. Uh. We also 730 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: have an email here from David pre Debt Prody, Sorry, 731 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: I feel like I buscher that, uh, says Garten Ryan, 732 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: what a title fight lived up to the billing? So 733 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: happy we're on the two point winning side of it. 734 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: And then he continues to say more. But that was 735 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: kind of the point that stood out to me. And 736 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: this is something that uh a Steelers. Uh. There's a 737 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: guy in my fantasy football league. He's Steelers stand. I 738 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: won't call him a friend because let's come on, but 739 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: he was texting me last night and he was just 740 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: talking about how he's like, how I can't believe the 741 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: Steelers didn't win that game, you know, because they were 742 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: moving the ball pretty well like we were talking about. 743 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: And it just feels good to be on this side 744 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: of that conversation. How many games are the Ravens we 745 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: said they should have one showed us, showed blah blah 746 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: blah blah. And you know what, I ain't gonna feel 747 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: bad for winning one where you get three turnovers and 748 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: all that stuff in the red zone. Right we've been 749 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: sitting here bellyaching about the Ravens red zone offense. It's 750 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: a whole been a whole lot better than turning the 751 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: ball over, I'll tell you that much. I'll take field goals, 752 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: no doubt. So you know what, the past couple of 753 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: games haven't been the's dominant you know, Oh yeah, showing exactly. 754 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: But December football is December football, and you take a 755 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: win however, you're gonna get it, and and I'll just 756 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: I'll keep taking these no doubts, so I will. Cleveland 757 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: might be another one, to be quite honest, and very 758 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: well could it very well could follow a similar script. 759 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: This this, this may be. This may be the script 760 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: going down the stretch here for the rest of the 761 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: regular season and into the playoffs.
