1 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Welcome into lounge presented by DraftKings. 2 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 2: I'm Ryan Mink here. 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: With Cliff dun Brown following the Ravens twenty four to 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: sixteen win over the Indianapolis Colts in their first preseason 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: game here at M ANDT Banks Stadium. 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 2: So, Cliff, a good night. Always good to get dubs. 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: Start off on the right foot, absolutely, and a lot 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: of big plays from a lot of young players on 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: this roster of the Ravens, as we all knew, barely 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: played any of the starters. The only starters that I 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: counted that played were three offensive linemen, Roger Rosegart and 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: Daniel Foulalle, and then the projected starter at left guard, 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Voorhe's. Defensively, it was the rookie Malecki Starks, as 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: well as inside linebacker Trenton Simpson. But other than that, 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: we saw a lot of kind of role players playing 16 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: a lot and playing well, Cliff. So who is your 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: star of the night tonight? 18 00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: Cliff? 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 3: I don't see you can overlook Lessonte Wester. I mean, 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: I guess you could have gone with Keaton Mitchell as well, 21 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 3: but certainly Wester, I mean his first action in game 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 3: action NFL to take one of the house and even 23 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 3: the first one. His quickness as a punt returner really 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 3: jumps off the screen. He makes aggressive catches number one. 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: That was the problem last year. That raves a lot 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 3: of punts that weren't caught, giving up extra yards. He 27 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: gets right up there, attacks the football and then once 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: he catches it, he's looking to make a play and 29 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: he's really quick feet, really sharp cuts. The same things 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 3: you saw from him as a college pump returner. It 31 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: looked the same at the next level. That's really encouraging. 32 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, eighty seven yard punt return for a touchdown the 33 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: second time he ever touched the ball in the league 34 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: in a game. 35 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: Pretty pretty epic. 36 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: And he told us afterwards that he came into tonight 37 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: he felt like he was going to get one. 38 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: Like he was. 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: He told people he was going to score a touchdown 40 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: tonight and that's I mean, that's calling your shot. Not 41 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: it's not a typical for you to take one back 42 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: to the house. And uh, you know, he nearly broke 43 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: one in the joint practices to their practice two days ago, 44 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: and so he kind of felt I think that gave 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: him like the springboard to feel like, all right, you know, 46 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: maybe I could hit one here tonight and like you said, 47 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: aggressive dude, And I'll tell you when when he gets 48 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, I mean he's got he's 49 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: got some joystick in him. And then you see him 50 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: turn on the top end speed to just once he 51 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: got an open field, it. 52 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: Was it was over. 53 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, this is one of the top 54 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: competitions really on the team because there's not a lot 55 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: of starting positions up for grabs. Pumper turners really one 56 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: of the big ones. After last year, they were really 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: kind of struggling to find the. 58 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: Guy, right, I mean, I think Western it's going to 59 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: be hard to take it from him now. 60 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: John Harball said that he wasn't ready to to dub 61 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: him the starting guy yet, right, we got we have 62 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: a couple more weeks of practice it play. 63 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: Out, but things can happen. 64 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: I think he made a solid case. 65 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: He can't really talk much louder than that tonight. And 66 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: when you talk about the swag thing, I mean he 67 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: was coached by Dion Sanders, so confidence is not a problem. 68 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 3: H Deanna's one of the great returners of all time. 69 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: Certainly that's a great role model. Half coming in the 70 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: league to return punts, yeah and yeah, I mean. 71 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 4: I loved it. 72 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 3: After the player's mob and he comes to the sidelines, 73 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: he looks up at the big screen, he sees himself 74 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: and he starts nding his head like, yeah, that's what 75 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: I'm here. 76 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: For, right, I mean, he was just soaking it up. 77 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: So I don't think he's gonna change his demeanor as 78 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: far as being confident, and he plays with confidence, catches 79 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: the ball with confidence. 80 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 4: I think he's going to be the guy. 81 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: He told us also in the locker room that after 82 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: scoring that touchdown, just a flood of emotions hit him. 83 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: You know, he's a guy, a. 84 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: Smaller stature guy who feels like he's been overlooked and 85 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: counted out really for most of his career, and he's 86 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: had to prove it every step. 87 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: Of the way. 88 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: You know, when you're built like that, and to to 89 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: start your college career at Florida Atlantic and catch a 90 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: ton of balls there, then you transfer and go to 91 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: Colorado and still have major production on a major at 92 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: a major program. Uh. You know that that speaks to 93 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: the kind of just he's just a baller man. 94 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: He's just he. 95 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he he reminds he's cut from the same 96 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: cloth as like sayflowers, you know, Lamar, like these these 97 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: Florida guys. You know, even the afterwards the chain like 98 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: he was blingked out. He had the grill afterwards in 99 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: the locker group, like I was like this dude, he's 100 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: just kind of got that it factor. And I mean 101 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: he was one of the most productive college receivers ever, 102 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: the six most most catches over a college career in 103 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: f in FBS history and u and then he also 104 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: tonight he had he led all receivers. 105 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: He had the thirty yard catch. 106 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: It was the longest catch of anybody in the game. 107 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: Caught two balls for forty one yards. So offensively he 108 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: got done too. 109 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna point it out. He also made 110 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 3: a couple of players as a receiver. Now we know 111 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 3: how loaded the Ravens are receiver, but Wester has been 112 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: a guy who's been an underdog his whole life, and 113 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: so he has that chip. It's real and it helps him. 114 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a great motivator to be doubted, particularly 115 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: when you have talent, and he does. 116 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: Yep. 117 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: The other start of the night running back Keaton Mitchell, 118 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: and this one's certainly no surprise. 119 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: We've seen Keaton all. 120 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: Summer long in practice. Looks just he looks awesome. I mean, 121 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: he's super fast. He looks like rookie Keaton. Mitchell again 122 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: and to go out here in a game and really, 123 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, he had some game action last year when 124 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: he came back from the injury. But he told us 125 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: on the Lounge podcast, go back and listen to that 126 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: episode with him. He's a friend of the Lounge. Go 127 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: back and listen about how you know, he said he 128 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: had one gear that was it, and now you see 129 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: him up shifting into fifth, sixth gear. You know, this 130 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: guy's got a speedback nine carries sixty eight yards including 131 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: a touchdown. 132 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: A great night Forget and Mitchell. 133 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's so much farther long than he was 134 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: last year health wise. And I asked him after the 135 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: game about you know, he looks like he's running stronger 136 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: than me. We always knowing he's fast, but he broke 137 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: a couple of tackles to night. And if you're going 138 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: to have that along with the speed, that makes you 139 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 3: an even better runner. Now, you know, third year in 140 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: the league, you know, picking holes the system he's playing in. 141 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 4: He's not over. 142 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: He did all that that as a rookie that big 143 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: year he had really not having NFL experience. Now he 144 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: has more of that, and he's healthy, so he could 145 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: be even better than he was a couple of years ago. 146 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 3: And yeah, he's in a great situation. You go, you 147 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: got Derrick Henry, you know, beating guys up in front 148 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 3: of you, Justice Hill doing his thing, and then you 149 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 3: throw Keating in there, bam. You know, it's got the 150 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 3: potential to really be a problem for the opposing defense. 151 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, totally agree. Another group that stood out to 152 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: me in this game. I thought the young outside linebackers 153 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: played really well. I mean, David Ajabo just. 154 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: A dec leader. 155 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: That was a brutal hit on Anthony Richardson actually knocked 156 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: him out of the game with a finger injury. I mean, 157 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: it was a nice blitz call by Zach Orr came 158 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: unblocked off the edge, and he made the most of it. 159 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. Desa Isaac had a sack. 160 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: I thought he played well. And I thought the second 161 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: round rookie Mike Green really looked good. 162 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: You know, I thought he played better than even. 163 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: The stats show. But he was physical, hustle. I mean, 164 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: he and Desa basically met at the quarterback from the 165 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: sack that Desa was credited with. So I thought the 166 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: young outside linebackers, it kind of showed the depth that 167 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens have outside of Adafeoa and Cayle van Noy. 168 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: Right with those two guys not playing, those young guys 169 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: had a chance to eat. I often think pass rushing 170 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: kind of you see sacks coming bunches, kind of like 171 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 3: we're running backs getting in the groove. I think pass 172 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: rushers can get in the groove in a particular game, 173 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: and it looked like that happened tonight. They were feeding 174 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: off each other. Green has looked better than me ever 175 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: since the paths have come on, not that he looked 176 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: bad before that, but once the pass came on in practice, 177 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 3: that's when Green started to pop. It hasn't stopped yet, yep. 178 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: So yes, we all know, you know what he did 179 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: in college. I feel like he's trending towards the guy 180 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: who Yes, you were talking to him in room about 181 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 3: closing games. You know, certain situations when you really need 182 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: a sack, and that's what makes a great pass rusher. 183 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not just the numbers. It's like when 184 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: it's third and eight, can you get there? He looks 185 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: like he might be that type of guy. 186 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: That's what I loved from him in the postgame lock groom. 187 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: Actually was you know, I asked him he built up 188 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: some momentum going into this game because he had a 189 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: really great joint practice. In particular, at the end of practice, 190 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: they had a two minute drill and he had what 191 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: could have been considered three straight sacks, I mean close 192 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, And he was coming and he said 193 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: that tonight after tonight's game, he said, I love those 194 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: situations when it's fast paced and you know that they're 195 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: throwing the ball and you need somebody to step up 196 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: and make a play. I love those situations. And I'm like, 197 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: this is the dude we need. Like that's how you 198 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: that's how you have to end games in the NFL. 199 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: You see it all the time. Teams come running up 200 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: the field in the last two minutes of the game, 201 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: and you need somebody to make a play, whether it's 202 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: a sack, whether it's an interception. That's often what closes games. 203 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: You need just somebody to make a play. And I 204 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: just likes hearing that from and I'm telling you, man, 205 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: this dude. He is physical and he's got he's got 206 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: the juice. 207 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: Man. 208 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 4: Yeah. I feel like Aaron Rodgers. 209 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: Not gonna be happy the Ravens drafted my Green and 210 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 3: with the Ravens pass rush to uh yeah, Joe Burrow 211 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 3: not gonna be happy about it. I mean, if those 212 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: young guys can build consistency to go with you know, 213 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: van Noy and Oway leading the way, yeah, I mean 214 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: Ravens second in the league in pass rush last or 215 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 3: sacks last year, they could equal to the pass certainly. 216 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 4: I could see that happening this year. 217 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: Yep. And the depth. 218 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: I mean, if if Ojabo you know, keeps playing well, 219 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: stays healthy, you know, Desa Isaac another guy who not 220 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people have talked about after he had 221 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: an injury hampered rookie year, if he can play well, 222 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, and we Tavius Robinson we have didn't talk about. 223 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a very good player too. I just 224 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: think the Ravens I think they're in good shape it 225 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, and there's been a lot of handwringing about 226 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: that and whether they need to bring in another guy. 227 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: I just don't see it. 228 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: I think they're in good, good pass there well, we 229 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: talked about Lejonte Western's punt return, but really it extends 230 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: beyond that for special teams in the return game in general. 231 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: I thought it was you know, he Lesonte had two 232 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: good punt returns. Rashida Lee ripped off a sixty nine 233 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: yard kickoff kickoff return, Keith Mitchell had a twenty five yarder. 234 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: Like. 235 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: It was a good night for the Ravens return units. 236 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: Like and like we said, that's really an area of 237 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: the game, including kickoff returns, because there's going to be 238 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: more this year with this the rule changes that you 239 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: really would like to see the Ravens make some strides. 240 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, imagine the Ravens offense consistently getting excellent field position. 241 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. 242 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: I mean it felt like they were kind of behind 243 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: the eight ball a lot of times last year with 244 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: the punt return mishaps and whatnot. 245 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 3: Right, you've got Western and Keaton or whoever setting them 246 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: up in great field position. 247 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 4: Chances are are going to school. 248 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: And honestly, you look back at some of the I mean, 249 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: just look back at the Super Bowl team twenty twelve. 250 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: Koby Joe. How much did he change that season? 251 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 3: Right? 252 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: And I'm not sitting here saying Leschonce's to Kobe Jones yet. 253 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like you get if you can 254 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: get a return game, that is really dangerous. Like how 255 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: many games were changed by that for the Ravens. 256 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: Sure, I mean usually you get a return touchdown, you 257 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 3: get a pick six, you win the game. 258 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 4: Usually. I mean that's how much plays like that. 259 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: Flip with how good this team is on both sides 260 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: of the ball. You get a splash play like that, right, 261 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: might be lights out right? 262 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: So yes, I mean this is a great opening game 263 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 3: for special teams from a return side to build on. 264 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 3: I mean so, and yet we always know Western and 265 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: Keaton the speed they have is for real. 266 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 4: And Keith was even saying he's. 267 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 3: Still trying to figure out as far as kickoff returns 268 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: to you know, figure the whole thing out. It's new 269 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 3: for him, it's new for everybody. But I would expect 270 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 3: as the season goes along, he'll be able to attack more. 271 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: Yep. 272 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 3: And you know the Ravens generally, speaking of great special teams, 273 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 3: they certainly now to me have the right pieces in 274 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 3: place to get back to the standard that they're used to. 275 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: It's also good too, you know, you lost a couple 276 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: of key special teams players, you know, Malek Harrison, Chris Board, 277 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: you know some like you have some new young guys 278 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: out there playing now on the flip side, you know, 279 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: I thought their coverage special seems coverage was not particularly great. 280 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 2: When you got Tyler Loop out there making tackles. It's 281 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: not good now what you want. 282 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: So I do think they need to when they turn 283 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: on the film, they need to improve on their coverage 284 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: on special teams. But the return side was was very good. 285 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: And speaking of Tyler Loop, kind of up and down 286 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: night for him. Missed his first field goal attempt in 287 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: a game here at M and T Banks Stadium that 288 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: was a forty six yarder and came back after that 289 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and hit a fifty two yarder 290 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: with plenty of room Despair wasn't even close. So well, 291 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: I think John Harball after the game said that he 292 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: passed the test, that he doesn't feel any less confident 293 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: with Tyler Loop after he had the one miss. They 294 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: know exactly what went wrong on that miss, easily diagnosable 295 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: and comes back drills the kick afterwards. 296 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: What you love to see from rookie kicker, kind. 297 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Of shaking it off. You know, didn't let it rattle him, 298 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: and you know I could. You could easily see a 299 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: rookie with as much on the line as Tyler Loop 300 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: has stepping into the shoes that he's stepping into. And 301 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: you come out here in front of fans the first time, 302 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: you have everybody going oo, and then you miss your 303 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: first one. You can see it easily getting rattled, shook 304 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: it off, came back hitting fifty two yearth right. 305 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: I mean, the resiliency is going to be very important, 306 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: and he showed that tonight, and it's just gonna be 307 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 3: different levels for him. I mean, there's a preseason opener right, 308 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: perfect weather, then it's gonna be regular season. Then it's 309 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 3: gonna be visit a kick in the regular season, bouncing 310 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: back his game, game, deciding situations. There's so many things 311 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: steps that he hasn't taken yet. There hasn't had the 312 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 3: chance of experience yet at this level. But I love 313 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: his demeanor. I mean, I think that the daily work 314 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: that he does is building something that's gonna hold true 315 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: during the regular season. The leg strength is definitely not 316 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: an issue, and he seems to be someone who when 317 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 3: something goes wrong, it doesn't rattle him, so. 318 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 4: I'm very encouraged. 319 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: I'm sure you'd like to see him make every kick, 320 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 3: but I've really felt good about him coming back the 321 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 3: way he did tonight with such a strong kick. That 322 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: kick was right down the pipe, like you said, looked 323 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 3: like it would have been good from sixty. So what happened 324 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: with the first kick didn't bother him. 325 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 4: That's a good sign. 326 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: YEP, totally agree. 327 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take rag when we come back. 328 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: We'll hit some of the things that didn't go quite 329 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: as well for the Ravens in tonight's preseason opener.

The tough news of tonight's game 341 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: was Bilao Cone, who suffered a season ending knee injury 342 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: in this one, in his first NFL game. 343 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: If you really feel bad. 344 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: For him, six round rookie out of Western Michigan, a 345 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: guy the Ravens I think really liked, was playing well 346 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: in practice and to see his rookie season end just 347 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: so early is a tough blow. 348 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: It is that quickly, just another reminder how quickly any play. Yep. 349 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 4: Wasn't a violent hit or anything. Yep. 350 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I think people sometimes take for 351 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 3: granted how you know these guys put their bodies on 352 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 3: the line, because just like that, his season's over. 353 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 4: And yeah, it was a tough watch. 354 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: I mean you could tell immediately it was a pretty 355 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 3: serious injury, and he knew it too. But you know, 356 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 3: he has fought to get to this point, like all 357 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 3: these guys. You have to hope that he'll be able 358 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 3: to come back as strong as I thought. It was 359 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: kind of symbolic, you know, Keith Mitchell sitting there after 360 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 3: the game, he went through the same thing, you know, 361 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 3: and John Harwall's talking about it, I'm thinking like too, Yeah, 362 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 3: I'm looking at Keaton like yeah, He's like yeah, I'm 363 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 3: going to go talk to him. He's been through what 364 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 3: this young man is going to go through, yep, and 365 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 3: he's around other guys who've had to do the same thing. 366 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,479 Speaker 3: So it is unfortunate for him. Obviously, we wish them 367 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: the best. It's fortunate for the Ravens. They are so 368 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 3: deep at that position that you know, they feel like 369 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: you know, and that's why they want to be so 370 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 3: deep a corner because at that position, guys usually do 371 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 3: go down at one point or another. But to see 372 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 3: something that serious, hey, we just had to hope that 373 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 3: he comes back better than he was before. 374 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 4: He's got a long road to have them. 375 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the Ravens depth at cornerbacks. Certainly they have, 376 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: you know, the top four Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Shaher, 377 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: Alexander and Cheetoh Ouzia. 378 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: And beyond that. 379 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: Another guy that really did have a very strong game 380 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: tonight was Jalen Arbor Davis. I thought a pass breakup, 381 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: two pass breakups, one of which you almost had an 382 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: interception early in the game. I thought it was a 383 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: good night for a fourth year corner that you know, 384 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: kind of entered the summer a little bit on the bubble. 385 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: Considering the Ravens depth at corner, I think obviously BK's 386 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: injury just stresses, you know, the importance of having Jalen 387 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: Armor Davis for depth and very high level depth judging 388 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: by the way he played tonight. But yeah, I mean 389 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: I think it's I think that this secondary has a 390 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: lot of pieces, but like you say, guys can go down, 391 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: you know, I mean that that's what happens in the corner, 392 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: and this kind of stresses the importance of having especially 393 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: depth at that position. 394 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 4: Right. 395 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 3: We should probably mentioned TJ. Tamba too. He played a 396 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: lot tonight. Guy who's John Harbor said, who needs to 397 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 3: play a lot. The reps will help him. So yeah, 398 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 3: I mean the Ravens, you look at their roster corner 399 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 3: and it's deep and strong, I mean, you know, and 400 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 3: then add Anxirera to the mix. 401 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: To me, that's just the icing on the cake. 402 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 3: Now, there's so many ways that those guys can be 403 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: used along with the safeties that they have. So yeah, 404 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 3: I mean the beat goes on. Hopefully you know, this 405 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 3: will be either the end of the injury bug of 406 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 3: that position, because we've seen years where it looked like 407 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 3: the Ravens are really deep in corner in August and 408 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 3: by October they weren't. So yeah, but just hope out 409 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 3: the wood and best of best Wichard obviously to the 410 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 3: young man who got hurt tonight. 411 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 4: Yep. 412 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: Another tough part of this game for the Ravens was 413 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: really the passing game. I mean, Cooper Rush, his first 414 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: throw as a Raven in a game, was intercepted. He 415 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: ended up going two to four on the night. Devin 416 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: Leary came in in relief and went three of twelve 417 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: for forty three yards. The Ravens threw for forty nine 418 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: total yards in the game. You're not gonna win many 419 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: games twenty four to sixteen with forty nine total passing yards. 420 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: John Harball after the game said, yeah, we won more 421 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: passing yards than forty. 422 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 3: Nine, even clown and on the passing game, right, But 423 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 3: I can't argue with him. 424 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 4: I mean, that's a true statement. You do want more than. 425 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 2: That, That is very true. 426 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: Devin Leary, you know, they had one long drive I 427 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: think it was his first drive of the game, but 428 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: then tried to kind of force a ball underneath that 429 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: got picked off. So just just not a very good 430 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: night from the Ravens backup cornerbacks or quarterbacks. You know, obviously, 431 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: as long as Lamar Jackson's healthy, this doesn't really matter. 432 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: And but I will say, you know, the Ravens invested 433 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: in Cooper Rush this offseason. They spent some real money 434 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: there to kind of for a high level backup. John 435 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: Harwall said, you know, it's one, you know, one very 436 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: brief outing in a preseason game for Cooper Rush isn't 437 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: gonna change my opinion in Cooper Rush, who they feel 438 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: like has been doing a good job this summer. But 439 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: but you would you would have liked to have seen 440 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: him come out here and drive him down the field 441 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: to open up instead of throwing a pick. 442 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he'll get more reps obviously, I believe 443 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 3: in the preseason first time INNUSIP. He's spent his entire 444 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: career with Dallas, different system, different receivers. You know, there 445 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 3: were you know, sometimes he was under duress. Sometimes you know, 446 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 3: the throwers didn't weren't where he wanted. But he's definitely 447 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 3: going through a learning process. To me, even though he's 448 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 3: a vet because everything here is new. So yes, uh, 449 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 3: they'll they'll be talking about the pantsing game all this 450 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 3: week leading up to the Cowboy game, and. 451 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: He well, it's the revenge game for him. 452 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: The. 453 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 3: Second preseason opener. Yeah right, he'll be facing the floor. 454 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: Oh he's good. 455 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got blood in his eye. 456 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 3: But hey, definitely will be in more familiar surroundings. Yeah, 457 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure he wants to play well every game, 458 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 3: but sure, I think I have a little more special 459 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 3: meeting to it. And after this, Yeah, I do expect 460 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 3: this passing game to be sharper next week because they're 461 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 3: going to spend time on it obviously leaning up to 462 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 3: that game. 463 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. 464 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: Uh. And I thought that it was kind of an 465 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: up and down night a little bit for some of 466 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens offensive line. You know, Finalle had one clip 467 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: that it was it was just a tough play, you know, 468 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: ended up getting just pushed over and and too much 469 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: pressure on that one. You know, you'd like to see 470 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: for a guy that obviously is the entrench starter and 471 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: coming out here and playing preseas, you don't want to 472 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: see that. As I said, you know, Roger Rosegarten and 473 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Vore, he's also played. John Harvell said Bank in Cleveland, 474 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: he thought played pretty well also for his still considered 475 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: the starter, and and I thought, overall, I thought that 476 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: the offense performed pretty well, but but you need to 477 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: you need to have a better showing than that Rashina Lee. 478 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: Outside of his kick return, I thought also, you know, 479 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: he popped one. He had a nineteen yard run. I thought, 480 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: I thought a pretty decent night for Rashina Elle. All Right, Cliff, 481 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, we're onto the Dallas preseason game next week. 482 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: From what you saw in their first preseason opener, other 483 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: than the passing game, as we just mentioned, kind of 484 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: what's left for them to check off in training camp 485 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: as we move forward. 486 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they'd want to you know, you mentioned 487 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: offensive line. I think they'd want to have, you know, 488 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: more balanced and more more Cris crist series that did 489 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 3: like they want to run when the regular season starts. 490 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 3: They have big plays a night, but not a lot 491 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 3: of consistency, you know, marching down the field. Uh. Defensively, 492 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 3: I thought it was you know, it was pretty good. 493 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: They want to build on that, and obviously special teams too, 494 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: but just a more consistent performance on both sides. But 495 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 3: particularly on offense. I think that would be the main 496 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: thing if they controlled the line of scrimmage, run the 497 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: football effectively, and just yeah, show like that. They're a 498 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: better team moving forward towards regular season, getting a little 499 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 3: more crips, a little more concise. 500 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 4: Still don't know how much you know, Todd Monk. 501 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 3: Is gonna show offensively, So that's something we should keep 502 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: in mind that, yeah, that there's only going to be 503 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: a limited amount of plays that they're gonna run.
