1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: He and now like he is still fresh. He is 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: still very fresh, which is there's no rookie wall that 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: he's hitting. J K. Dobbins finished the year averaging the 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: most guards per carry of any running back in the NFL. 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: We like good stories. People remember good stories. That's why 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: we're in the media business. And this is a good story. 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge. It's playoffs time. Baby. Never had 8 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: a doubt, never a doubt in the world six and 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: five had it measured, never a doubt that we were 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: getting to this place. You always do this. You always 11 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: yell into the microphone to start things off. You get 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: all situated, ready to go, and then you do your 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: little countdown and then you blow out my ears by 14 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: yelling into the microphone to start off the podcast. I 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: think listeners are probably in their car or on a 16 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: run or wherever they listen, and they's thinking the same thing. 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: I guarantee it. They're thinking, they you, you come on, 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: you come on hot, and I like the energy, but 19 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: you come on hot. You gotta bring the energy off 20 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: the top, come on, bring your own energy. Set the tone, man, 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: set the b y o E. You gotta set the tone, 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: all right, And that's what the Ravens need to do. 23 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna get into this, but that's exactly what the 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: Ravens need to do against the Tennessee Titans Sunday at 25 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: one o'clock in the rematch. And you know what, John Hardball, 26 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: God bless him. I respect it. You know, we're not 27 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: looking backwards. I am revengeable baby, and it's gonna ta 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: so sweet. Well. I said on the podcast last week 29 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: that my my dream scenario for the playoffs was the 30 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: Revenge Tour. I don't think there's there's no way that 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: it goes. Just we love jumping ahead, you know, three 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: different levels here, but there's no way that it goes 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens end up facing the Titans, the Chiefs, and 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: the Steelers, is there? I mean, yeah, I guess if 35 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: the Steelers, I guess they could face the Chiefs in 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: the second round and then the Steelers in the ANC Championship. 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: That's right, I think that's correct. Yeah, Yeah, there's the 38 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 1: POSI the six and seven loose, then the Ravens would 39 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: get the Chiefs. Yeah, but anyway that would be that 40 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: would be pretty sweet. That would be pretty sweet. All right, 41 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: let's start here. What were your feelings that the Ravens 42 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: got the Titans as opposed to the Colts, the Steelers, 43 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: or the Bills. Did you like getting the Titans as 44 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens Birth Round opponent, Well, I just talked about 45 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: the revenge game, the revenge tour, the whole tour. So 46 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: I liked it. That's why I honestly wanted um And 47 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: I wanted it for a couple of different reasons. UM 48 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: and I. You know, I have no idea if Ravens 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: players or coaches out this way. I'm sure they weren't 50 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: looking at it this way, but but just me, I was. 51 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: There's the factor of last year. I like that motivation 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: I like. I like a good story. I like a 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: good narrative. I think one of the best, probably the best, 54 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, storyline in Raven's history is the is the 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: UH game in New England and the NFC Championship, followed 56 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: up by the game the next year that ultimately ends 57 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: up with him going to the Super Bowl winning it. 58 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: You know, like, you can't tell one story without the other. 59 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: UM and I think that that's that's and that's what 60 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: we do. We like good stories. People remember good stories. 61 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: That's why we're in the media business. And this is 62 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: a good story. The Titans end of the Ravens season 63 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: last year shocked everybody. The Ravens have been reminded of it. 64 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: They lost to him again this year. Everyone's you know, 65 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: asked about can you win the big game? Can you 66 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: win in the playoffs? Um Derrick Henry rushes for two 67 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: thousand yards. That's a constant reminder, Like there's just so 68 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: many reminders of that game last year. And now the 69 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: Ravens get to go out there and and avenge it 70 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: to a certain degree. Doesn't mean they're gonna if they 71 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: win on Sunday, does that mean that we're gonna go 72 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: back in history and that's to win last year. No, 73 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: of course not. But I do think that any person 74 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: you want to you know, you want another shot, you 75 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: want another shot, and they get another shot at him. 76 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: And so that's why I wanted it to be the 77 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Titans from an emotional standpoint. And then that's also football 78 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: standpoint too, but go ahead, yeah, to put a bow 79 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: on the emotional standpoint, I think also, you know, this 80 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: year's regular season lost stunt over time lost after the 81 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Titans come out and stomp on the on the midfield shield, 82 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, to start the game and have a little 83 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: dust up before things even get kicked off. You know, 84 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens had it, I think at eleven point lead 85 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: in the second half that they lost, so that that 86 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: lost hurt. So I think it's it's also avenging that 87 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: to a degree, not just last year. But I also 88 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: liked it from a football perspective. And look, I'm not 89 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: here to throw a shade on the Titans because they're 90 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: They're a very good team, they really are. But I 91 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: think that this is a good matchup for the Ravens 92 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: because I don't I think they're gonna struggle to stop 93 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: the Ravens offense. I really do. And and sure, you know, 94 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens offense was record setting last year and all 95 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: that and came in. You know, it was the best 96 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: offense in the league last year, and they put up 97 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: twelve points against Tennessee in the playoff game last year. 98 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: But this team is different and this offense is different, 99 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I think this offense is better than 100 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: it was last year. And the Titans defense has struggled. 101 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: It's been on the struggle bus this year. Only four 102 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL are allowing have allowed more yards 103 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: per game this season. Okay, four teams, and so you 104 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: look at it, and sure, yeah, I mean they definitely 105 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: have great offensive weapons. Derrick Henry. You just said he 106 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: ran for two thousand yards. We all know about Derrick 107 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: Henry and the kind of freaky is. I mean, the 108 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: guy is an alien, let's just be quite pard He's 109 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: from a different planet. Okay, So, and he came off 110 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: with two hundred and fifty yards last week against the Texans. 111 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: But who's not running on the Texans these days? Quite frankly. 112 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the Texans defense is right there, let's see. 113 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: Hold on, let me flip back to my stats. Yeah, 114 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: the Texans defense was third worse in the league, So 115 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: they're good. I think some fans are scared looking at 116 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: the Titans because of all the points they've scored recently 117 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: and because of Derrick Henry, and Okay, I get it, 118 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, but I think some of that is a 119 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: little bit of a mirrage based on this last Texans game. 120 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: If you look back the week before against green Bay, 121 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: that's how you beat the Tennessee Titans. Green Bay got 122 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: up on them early. Derrick Henry is really a first 123 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: and second down back. He doesn't he doesn't even come 124 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: on the field. And third down, if it's third and 125 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: six or longer, Derrick Henry is not even on the field. 126 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: Their best offense weapon is not on the field. So 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 1: if you can take that put them in a hole early, 128 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: which is exactly the Ravens formula, that's what they have 129 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: to do. If you can accomplish that, I think that 130 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: you can deliver a knockout blow. Yeah. Now, let me 131 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: just say one thing about the Packers game against them. 132 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: I mean, that was a that was a weird game. 133 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: That was a snow game. Um, and it did get, 134 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, situationally out of hand fairly quickly. But whenever 135 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: you're just dealing with the snow game, I feel like 136 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: that the numbers and that those scenarios, it's it gets 137 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: a little weird and it's hard to totally put too 138 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: much talking today. But I do agree with the notion 139 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: that the way to beat them is to get up 140 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: on them early. I mean, I'm sure if if the 141 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: Titans are doing a podcast right now, they're probably saying 142 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: the same thing. Get up on the Ravens early. Yeah, 143 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean that's absolutely what they're saying, you know, I mean, 144 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: that's what they did last year in the playoff game, right. 145 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: I mean, they Ravens come down, it's an interception on 146 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: the first drive of the game. Then they turn around 147 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: and and hit uh touchdown drive to go on the 148 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: other way. They get a fourth down stop on the 149 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: next drive, one past forty five yard touchdown pass on 150 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: next play, and all of a sudden, Tennessee's up fort 151 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: see nothing, and the Ravens are looking around saying, holy cow, 152 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: what the hell just happened? You know? And and Lamar, 153 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: you know he didn't. Lamar really didn't play poorly in 154 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: that game. I mean, the guy through for a career 155 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: high three hundred sixty five yards and you also ran 156 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: for a buck forty three you put up, you put 157 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: up over five d totally yards and fight one player. 158 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: It's not a bad day. But they couldn't pull it off, 159 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: you know. And and so absolutely that's what the Titans 160 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: are saying is we have to We cannot let the 161 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: Ravens like they have been in recent this five game 162 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: winning streak. We can't let them jump out to a 163 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: lead on us. And conversely, the Ravens are saying, that's 164 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: what we need to do. Yeah, obviously, so much of 165 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: the focusing attention is gonna be on Henry, and that's 166 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: for good reason. But I do think that the player 167 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 1: who kind of scares me the most is J. Brown. 168 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: And and and we are a long history on here 169 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: of of feeling like a J. Brown is a great 170 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: player who loves the coming out of the draft. Um, 171 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: and he he's playing great. I mean, he's the one 172 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: that came up with the big catch against the Texans 173 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: late in that game to steal that victory for them. 174 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: And he's the one that kind of broke the Ravens. 175 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: I know Derrick Henry scored the touchdown and overtime, but 176 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: it was a J. Brown who shrugged off about five 177 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: tackles uh in a route to a touchdown late in 178 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: that game. Earlier this year against the Ravens, he to me, 179 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: is is a concern. Um he's so physical. I mean, sure, yeah, 180 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: he's He's a really good player. And Corey Davis is 181 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: a good player too. They honestly have two good wide receivers, 182 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: they have a good tight end and Johnny Smith. I 183 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: mean they have good players. Um, But I just think 184 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens secondary, I mean, that's the strength of the 185 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: Ravens defense is is with their cornerbacks, right, I mean, 186 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna bet against Marlon Humphrey 187 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I don't know. I don't know that 188 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: you have Marlon follow A J. Brown or whatnot. Um, 189 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: but I'm not betting against Marlin Humphrey and Marcus Peters. 190 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm just not. And I think the Ravens are gonna 191 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: get Jimmy Smith on the back on the field. That's 192 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: the expectation I think this week. And that makes a 193 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: huge difference. So I hear what you're saying, but nah, 194 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not losing I'm not losing sleep over 195 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: that one. And let me also point out one other thing. 196 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: You know who the Ravens didn't have last time against 197 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans in the regular season. This year, they 198 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: didn't have Big I wasn't on the real Ravens started 199 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: me just for this game they have. That was a 200 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: terrible impression. But did they have Brandon Williams on the field. 201 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if he was, if he was 202 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: acting in that game not, but yes, Look, when the 203 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: Ravens went into the offseason, they added Derrick Wolf and 204 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: they added Klais Campbell and that they were two players. Uh, obviously, 205 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: they're just two really good players. No, no, big baby, 206 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: Brandon did not play. No, he did not play against you. 207 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: Without Brandon Williams and Clais Campbell, that's two huge pieces 208 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: of that defensive line. Yeah, that's that. That's the cornerstone 209 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: piece in the middle of your defense. Uh, so to 210 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: be without them so well, But this is a big 211 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: game for Calais and Derrick Wolf like you said, like 212 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: they added those guys this offseason to stop Derrick Henry 213 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: to win this game. To basically, if you're in this 214 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: situation again, you win it. You win it and you 215 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: and you get those stops and and those guys are 216 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: gonna be relied upon in a big way on Sunday. Absolutely, 217 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: you know. And Patrick Queen also, But yeah, I think 218 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: that I think the Ravens Derrick Henry, he's phenomenal, but 219 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: I just think he's a guy that oftentimes makes his 220 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: hey late in the game. Right, Like in the first 221 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: half the Ravens. The Ravens did a pretty good job, 222 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: even without Calais and Brandon, of bottling up Derrick Henry 223 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: in the first half, Like he was not breaking away. 224 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: But that's what Derrick Henry does. Right, It's like two yards, 225 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: three yards. You know, everybody comes up their flex and 226 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: they're all psyched in the first quarter because they just 227 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: hit Derrick Henry for you know, a one yard game 228 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: or whatever. But then if the Titans are still in 229 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: the game, they just keep pounding them. And the more 230 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: times he hits those defenders, like, the more they don't 231 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: want to really tackle him, and eventually he breaks off 232 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: a fifty yard or or or worse. Right, I mean, 233 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: that's what happened in the playoff game. Quite frankly last 234 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: year is like Derrick Henry didn't have a huge day 235 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: until he turned Arl Thomas into his lead blocker, you know, 236 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: and and and and he had another really long one 237 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: that then set up his touchdown pass. Like, he had 238 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: two long runs in that game that really kind of 239 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: made his stats look a lot different. And you can't 240 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: take those away. This is you know, that's the classic, right, Hey, great, 241 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: except for the two touchdowns they gave up, you know, 242 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: but I do think that like now with Clays and 243 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: Brandon back in there, you know, you have more depth, 244 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: you just have more guys. Yeah, you have totally, absolutely, 245 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: absolutely and you have a better chance of getting like 246 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: really shutting them down early in this game. Derek Wolfe 247 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: was gassed, gassed in the regular season lost the Titans. 248 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you go back and watch that Derrick Henry 249 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: overtime touchdown run dere Derek wolf God bless him. He's 250 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: really really well this year, but he had nothing left 251 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: and so that makes a big difference for sure. Um well, 252 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll continue to talk 253 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: about this game when we come back this season. When 254 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: you trade up to Ram Trucks, you're getting power, luxury 255 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: and technology like you never imagined. You don't become to 256 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: back to back motor trend truck of the year for nothing. 257 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: And with the ramp Itteen hundred you can get a 258 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: lot of everything. We're a legroom, a reconfigurable center console, 259 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: it's all available now. Plus you get a lot more storage. 260 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: Or you can also trade up to the RAM and 261 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: get four ten standard horsepower and a gas engine for 262 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: these great deals and find out more go to Ram 263 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: dot com today. Alright, so we just kind of dove 264 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: into their offense against our defense, but I think we 265 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: need to spend some time talking about the Ravens offense, 266 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: because you've said something at the start here that I 267 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: thought was interesting when you said you think that this 268 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: offense this year is better right now, right now, is 269 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: better than the Ravens offense going into the playoffs last year. 270 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: Why do you feel that way? Well, I think passing wise, 271 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: it's about the same. You know, I don't know that 272 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: the Ravens offense has has improved all that much in 273 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: regards to the aerial attack. Uh. I think the biggest 274 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: difference now is that they're stretching teams more horizontally, and 275 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: that's been the effect I think largely of j K. 276 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: Dobbins and also you know, put Devin Duberne in there too, 277 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: like the jet sweeps and and j K. Dobbins ability 278 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: to hit the edge and get huge gains along the 279 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: perimeter of the defense has totally changed things. I think 280 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: that last year the tight what the Titans did in 281 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs and and some other teams along the way, 282 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: is that they crowded the middle of the field and 283 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: really took away a lot of running lanes for Lamar 284 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: and passing lanes quite frankly, because that's how that's where 285 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: he likes to, you know, throw the ball is over 286 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the field primarily, and and the Titans 287 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: did a really good job of putting in those extra 288 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: dvs and stuff like that, extra linebackers and really crowding 289 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: the middle of the field because also, you know mark 290 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: Ingram and Mark's a great back, multi year Pro Bowl, 291 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: all that stuff, but he doesn't he doesn't threaten the 292 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: edges of a defense all that much. He was also 293 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: coming off, you know, if you remember, slowed him down 294 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: a little bit in that game. Absolutely, you know, and 295 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: Mark Mark is a great threat between the tackles for 296 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: the most part. And and I think that teams knew 297 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: that that they just had to kind of take away 298 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: the middle field. Now you can't do that, like you 299 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: have to guard the edges. The Ravens are playing with 300 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: fewer tight end sets, less tight end heavy sets, so 301 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: they're they're a little bit more wide receiver heavy and 302 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: using you know, they have good blocking wide receivers out 303 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: on the edges. They're using gus edwards even as a blocker, 304 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: like they're better blocking around the edge, and that just 305 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: makes them a tougher challenge. It's funny to say, because 306 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens set the all time rush team rushing record 307 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: last season during the regular season. But I think with J. K. 308 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: Dobbins and you know, give credit to the receivers, give 309 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: credit to the offensive line because they deserve it. But 310 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: I think that this year's rushing attack is better than 311 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: last year's record setting attack. Well there, you're you're picking 312 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: a good time to say that. They just ran for 313 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: four hundred four yards and they could have set the 314 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: record for most yards ever in a game if they 315 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: wanted to. You know, obviously they took out the starters 316 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter if if they wanted to go 317 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: get that record, that could of Um. So, yeah, I 318 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: was kind of disappointed they didn't, I know, but yeah, 319 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: I agree, it would have been cool. I mean that 320 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: record was what seven years old, I think was set 321 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty. Uh so it would have been an 322 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: awesome I guess to go set that. But all of 323 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: a sudden, J K. Dobbins tweaks and ankle and you're like, 324 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: why were you doing that when you were up three? Yeah, 325 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: so I get it. So, and I really wanted to 326 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: see mark Ingram do it. Like I want to see 327 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: mark Ingram come in and say, all right, you know, 328 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: this is kind of my moment and he sets the record. 329 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: That would be cool. Yeah, would would again. Good story. 330 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: We love a good story. Uh. But you know one 331 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: thing that I think, I don't think the passing game 332 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: is drastically different than last year. But I do like 333 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: what I've seen lately over the past six weeks from 334 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown and Miles Boykin. Miles Boykin had the touchdown 335 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: UM obviously on Sunday. You know, he's boys not a 336 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: volume target, volume catch guy, but he's find a ways 337 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: to get open. He's he's hitting spots. I mean that 338 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: was that was a beautifully this and play. Everyone went 339 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: to Mark Andrews and then Boykin was just wide open 340 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: and Lamar threw a dime. But Hollywood, like, I do 341 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: want to mention talking about this on Hollywood. He has 342 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: taken some hits, some criticism this year. He's taken some 343 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: flak and understandably so he had the tweet after what game? 344 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: What was that the Titans game? Was that the Titans 345 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: game where you had that tweet? I think it might 346 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: have been. Yeah, it was so kind of so he 347 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, he has that tweet. Um. He struggles for 348 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: the first half of the season, isn't putting up big production. 349 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: But when you look at him over the last several 350 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: games and his overall body of work this year, I 351 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: think it's it was a good season for him. Seven 352 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: D sixty nine receiving yards, eight touchdowns. Both of those 353 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: are an increase over what he had last year. He 354 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: had seven touchdowns last year and five four receiving yards. 355 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: He also played all sixteen games, which he said was 356 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: a goal of his um and I think that he 357 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: needs to get some you know, pad on the back 358 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: for that, and he has heated up late in the 359 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: season when the Ravens have needed him. He got touchdowns 360 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: in five of his last six games, including two against 361 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: the Bengals to finish the season, and he's got chemistry 362 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: with them. Are around the goal line like no one 363 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: you wouldn't necessarily think of. You wouldn't point to Hollywood Brown, 364 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: say a great goal line threat. I mean he's five 365 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: ft nine hundred seventy pounds, so you don't think of 366 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: him as a goal line target. But he has starved 367 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: in the red zone because he's just getting open and 368 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: he's got kind of that backyard football, uh feel with Lamar, 369 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: and that is helping them. And last year, I mean 370 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: he scored seven touchdowns last year, which tied the Ravens 371 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: rookie record with Torrey Smith. So yeah, So, like, I 372 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: know that there he's taken some criticism, and I know 373 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: that he's not the number one of DeAndre Hopkins uh okay, 374 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: but he is playing really well lately and the Ravens 375 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: are going to count on him to come up with 376 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: some more big plays. And I one of the best 377 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: games of his career was that playoff game against the Titans. 378 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: I list like away he. I just like the way 379 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: he responds to adversity. Like some guys, they struggle and 380 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: they start to feel it and they get into their 381 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: own head and they shut down. I know he's had 382 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: some drops. I know there's been some mistakes with him, 383 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: but he just seems to respond to adversity better than 384 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: most players. Um and he's been open about that, and 385 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: I just feel like he deserves some credit for the 386 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: way he's really finished this season. The t the Titans 387 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: game was his low point. I mean, he had zero 388 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: catches on three targets and I think that was the 389 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: soldier's tweet that you're referring to came after that game. Um, 390 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: so you better believe that Hollywood is going to be 391 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,719 Speaker 1: looking to come out here and show something against the Titans, 392 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: and I think he can. For sure. Titans secondary, you 393 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: can you can hit some big plays on them, and 394 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: Marquise could have had another big play and Cincinnattie show 395 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: he had one that he didn't haul in he should have. Yeah, 396 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: so I completely agree with you. Look, I think that 397 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: you know him putting up this season. I mean, I 398 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: think that that is Hollywood's gonna be, in my opinion, 399 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: probably a seven fifty thousand yard guy pretty consistently with 400 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: about He had fifty eight catches, that's about right, you know, 401 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: and and eight touchdowns, Like I think that's a that's 402 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: about what I expect from Marquis and and I think 403 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: that he only is going to improve on that um. 404 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: But in this offense that's so run heavy, you know, 405 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: he doesn't get a ton of volume. And so I 406 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: think that those numbers are are at the end of 407 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: the day, pretty darn respectable. I completely agree Mark Andrews 408 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: is heating up to the other thing. Just just to 409 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: kind of close the book there, He's got the Ravens 410 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: passed of all four hundred and six times this year. 411 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: That's the lowest in the NFL. So when you look 412 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: at the Ravens, and you've said this before, when you 413 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: look at the Ravens receiving the the receiver's stats, uh, 414 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: you need to kind of grade on a curve. Pittsburgh 415 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: through the ball twoft six times. I mean they're throwing 416 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: the ball a hundred and two hundred fifty times, two 417 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: times more than the Ravens. So there's just not that 418 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: volume to go around in the Ravens offense. So seven 419 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: d and you know, sixty nine yards is that a 420 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: huge number. No, But when you look at it as 421 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: a share of the Ravens passing total, okay, it's pretty significant. 422 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: And eight touchdowns it's pretty significant. I just think you 423 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: need to take that into account when you're looking at 424 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: the performance and assessing it for these players. Yeah, and 425 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, like I was saying, also, is heating up. 426 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: He was a guy that I think was banged up 427 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: late last year, was banged up in that Tennessee game. 428 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: I think he had what like an ankle or something 429 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: like that. You know, I can still picture the interception 430 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: on the Ravens opening drive in my head of that 431 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: ball kind of going off. Mark's fingertips. Mark looked like 432 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: you got about as much air as you did as 433 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: you would have on that catch. Why are you bringing up? 434 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, I think Mark is Yeah, Mark is healthy 435 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: now and and he's balling, so I think he's gonna 436 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: be a difference maker as opposed to last year. And 437 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: then can we talk about the rushing attack? You know? 438 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: I mean I kind of talked about it and j 439 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: K Dobbins in the effect. But j K Dobbins finished 440 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: the year averaging the most yards per carry of any 441 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: running back in the NFL. He was better than Nick Chubb, 442 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: He was better than Aaron Jones, he was better than 443 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. And it wasn't even close. JK average six 444 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: yards per carry. Chubb was at five six, Aaron Jones 445 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: at five point five, and Derrick Henry at five point four. 446 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: You know, so, j K Dobbins, I'm telling you, I 447 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: don't know how many times I gotta say this, but 448 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: the kid is a star. Yeah, you know, the only 449 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: person who had a better yards per carry averaging him well, 450 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 1: what's the only person, but yes, Lamar Jackson was at 451 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: the top of the NFL at six point three. Kyler 452 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: Murray Kyler Murray came in at number two. But yeah, 453 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's unreal. I mean the Ravens had 454 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: let's see, three backs. If you look at the most 455 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: runs of twenty or more yards this season, the Ravens 456 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: had three in the top five. Lamar, j K and Gus. Yeah. Crazy. 457 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: The other thing too, that I incredibly well, yeah, absolutely, 458 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: And I go back to what we talked about earlier 459 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: in the year on the podcast, and I think that 460 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: there was a feeling how many times, how many emails, 461 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: how many mail by questions, do we get tweets? Get 462 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: more time for j K Dobbins, get more time for 463 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: j K Dobbins, And we even said it too well. 464 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: The Ravens gradually eased him in and then the second 465 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: half of the year he became the lead dog, earned 466 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: that job and hasn't given it up. He and now 467 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: like he is still fresh. He is still very fresh, 468 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: which is there's no rookie wall that he's hitting. He's 469 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: still on the ascent. So you got him who's fresh, 470 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: You've got Gus who's still fresh, and you've got Ingram. Uh, 471 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: if anything were to happen either of those two guys, 472 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: you still got Ingram there who knows what it takes 473 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: it can you can still play really well. So I 474 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: like the way that the Ravens have handled the running 475 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: back rotation, and now as they go into the playoffs, 476 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: they got a young guy with fresh legs who was 477 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: playing great right now, who has built confidence all season long. 478 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: And he said last week that kind of waiting his turn, 479 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: it was difficult for him at times, but it was 480 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: important for him to learn the mental side of the 481 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: game um and and then sees his opportunity once he 482 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: got it. So I do think that we should give 483 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of credit to the coaches for how 484 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: they've handled that running back group over the course of 485 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: the year. So did you read my story that I 486 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: had out yesterday? J K. Dobbins enters his first playoffs 487 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: as a star. I don't read any of your stories. 488 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: Come on, I figure I knew the answer. It's gonna 489 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: be a no, it's gonna be at you. It's left 490 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: the boom. I read Cliffs stories and I read Eisenberg stories. 491 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: Once I realized it's one of yours, I just keep 492 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: it moving. Well, Then you missed a Grea eight reference 493 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: that I know you would have loved because I dropped 494 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: the Bernard Pierce reference, which I know you would have loved. 495 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: You probably put that in for me exactly exactly. That 496 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: was our guy. We both loved BP Bernard Piers because 497 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: I see shades of Bernard Pierce in two thousand twelve. 498 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: I see shades of Jamal Lewis in two thousand and Yes, 499 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: it's not just a quinstence. There's the two years the 500 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,959 Speaker 1: Ravens won the Super Bowl, um, but you know in 501 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: both of those years you had a rookie running back. 502 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: Really kind of it would be a stretch to say 503 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: that j K Davis is carrying this offense. Lamar Jackson 504 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: makes everything run, but he's been a big piece and 505 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: he's really elevated, like he's taken. J K has elevated 506 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: this offense to a different level than it's been all 507 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: season long. And that's kind of what Bernard pierced in. 508 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: He I had forgotten this. Bernard Pierce led the Ravens 509 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: and rushing in two of the four playoff games. Yeah 510 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: he put he he had a big against against the Colts. Yeah, yep, 511 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: buck thirty or something against the Colts, and then he 512 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: led them in rushing in New England too. And so 513 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, he was huge down the stretch for the Ravens. 514 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: And then of course Jamal Lewis. I mean he carried 515 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,959 Speaker 1: the offense all year as a rookie in two thousand 516 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: as a first round pick. So um, I just I 517 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: see some shades of that in J. K. Dobbins. Yeah, 518 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: I like that comparison. And yeah, and he's just he's 519 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: playing great. He really is. He really is playing great. 520 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: So um, let's take a quick Crown Royal water break. 521 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: Crown Royal wants to remind you to stay hydrated, stay royal, 522 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: Crown Royal Canadian whiskey.

We love hearing 537 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: from you guys. Here's our guy Martin. So, first off, 538 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: Martin says, Happy New Year, and this is in Danish. 539 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: Are you reading it? How do you say that? How 540 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: do you how do you You're not going to give 541 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: it a shot guitar? All right, that's Happy New Year 542 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: in Danish if you're wondering. So his question is why 543 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: are the Ravens not creating a bubble for themselves? You 544 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: go not nice hotel and basically, uh, just like the 545 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: NBA and other leagues, did you go into a bubble 546 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,479 Speaker 1: um just locally, though other leagues did it as an 547 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: entire league. Why are the Raves not doing it locally? Uh? 548 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,719 Speaker 1: And he says he's ready for a big win on Sunday. 549 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: So you know, this is something that's come up multiple 550 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: times for multiple teams over the course of the entire 551 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: NFL season. Um, honestly since July, since the NFL's first 552 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: started talking about going back and playing, and the NFL's 553 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: chief medical doctor, Alan Sills has been asked about this 554 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: several times, and he has said on multiple occasions that 555 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: he's not a fan of the bubble approach for NFL teams. 556 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: You know, one, there's there's several differences with NFL teams 557 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: compared to um the n B. A one is just 558 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: the sheer size of the league. There's there's just so 559 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: many players support staff. So if you were going to 560 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: do the bubble approach like the NBA did we all 561 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: go to one city. There's just spar too many people. 562 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you need you need like an island of 563 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: uh to at work. It's it's just too many people, 564 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: even in the playoffs with a reduced number of teams. 565 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: And then in terms of the local bubble, there's pros 566 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: and constant that I mean, Sills has talked about, you know, 567 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: bubble sounds great, but then all of a sudden, if 568 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: you do have a crack in the armor and and 569 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: COVID gets in. Now also you have everybody in one 570 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: roof UM and there's risk associated with that. He's also 571 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: brought up the mental aspect that it is he worries 572 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: about the mental health. So you've got players, who coaches, 573 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: staff members who are then not seeing their families for 574 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: the entire time. Um. So like I get it that. 575 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: I think it's a fair question. And I do wonder 576 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: if they even keep winning, like if they get to 577 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: the a f C Championship, if they were to be 578 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl, do you go into the bubble 579 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: for those two weeks? Maybe? Um, but I'll tell you 580 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: what I saw. I saw some footage from Tampa, from 581 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: Tampa from New Year's Eve, and holy moly, there's the 582 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: streets were packed. No, Max, it wasn't all these young 583 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: people out of the streets. You got to the super Bowl. 584 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm telling you go on a bubble. Well, do you 585 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: a question that this is? We're about this? If they 586 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: get there. I wonder if the NFL will have teams 587 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: go down to the super Bowl city for the entire week, 588 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, typically like when the Ravens went, the teams 589 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: down there all week. They're practicing down there. They've got 590 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: to they've got to set up down there at a hotel, 591 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: um in a local place where they go practice or 592 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: did they just tell the teams to stay in your 593 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: local your local facilities and then come down like any 594 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: other road game for both teams exactly. I mean that 595 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me, well not shock I think that would 596 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: be the smart play, to be honest. Yeah. So so 597 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: those are you know, that's some of the reason. Um, 598 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything else that I didn't say. 599 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,239 Speaker 1: You want to add on that. Well, you look at 600 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: the Browns, right, I mean right now? Uh, breaking news 601 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: today is that Kevin Stefanski, the Brown's head coach, has 602 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID and it's not gonna be able 603 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: to coach in their first round playoff game against the Steelers. Uh. 604 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: So you know, and Joe Biltonio I think you said 605 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: right offensive Art very key, yeah, key piece. They're off 606 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: on the line. So I mean I get it. I 607 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: get the question, Martin, but um, I don't think it's 608 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: gonna happen. So speaking to Martin. By the way, Martin 609 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: was in the Fantasy League. Then you declined, Garrett because 610 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: you're because you're too big time for our international fans. Okay, 611 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: but I do have an announcement to make now that 612 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: the fantasy season is over all, right, drum roll ready, 613 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: the winner of the International Ravens Fantasy League is Daniel Mills. 614 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: Daniel Mills from from I believe it was Toronto. He's 615 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: Canadian and his team j K all Day. J K 616 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: all Day handed it to me. Just absolutely blasted me 617 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: in the championship match, just blow just obliterated me. So 618 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: you stay true to your reputation, get to the championship 619 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: and lose. Always second back, always the bridesmaid. I'm always 620 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: the bridesmaid, never the bride. And he got more silt 621 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: than anybody I've ever met. Well, my other league league, 622 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, might might have a few jelly beans attached 623 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: to it. I've won that back to back years now, okay, 624 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: back to back years, So just saying, just saying, um, 625 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: but I don't want to take Daniel Daniel Man. It 626 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: was a two week playoffs and he beat me three 627 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: hundred and eleven to two hundred and eleven. Did he 628 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: had I don't know. I don't think he had JK. 629 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: But he had Kimara, so you know I made a difference. Uh. 630 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: And he had David Montgomery who went absolutely nuts down 631 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: the stretch too. Um so. I, I, on the other hand, 632 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: had two running backs, my starting running backs to the 633 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: final year or the final week. I literally didn't know 634 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: who they were. I had the backup for the Jags 635 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: and some other dude I picked up off waivers who 636 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure who they were my running backs. They 637 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: all got injured at the same time. It was a 638 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: bad situation for me. But anyway, congratulations for to Daniel Mills. 639 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: You deserved it. Mantecondah, Are you playing next year?

Because you were nervous about the Bengals game, 650 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: So what are your nerves for this game? I told you, 651 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: by the way, I told you the Ravens are gonna 652 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: take care business against the Angles. There was nothing to 653 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: worry about. There I was confident. It was you're, so, 654 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: how are you feeling? Jump in the shark, don't light 655 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: the don't like the cart before the worst, don't like 656 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: the shark and jumping yet I was seeing going on, 657 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: all right, oh no, this is this is dubs. Oh 658 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: I have not Yes, that's right, uber confident against the Titans. 659 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: I haven't felt this confident all year. I'm just saying 660 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: it because this team is it's a I think it's 661 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: a good matchup. Ex's nose, like we've talked about. I 662 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:31,919 Speaker 1: think emotionally, uh, psychologically, all those things, it's a good matchup. Historically, 663 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: these two teams have faced four times in the playoffs, 664 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 1: and if you're you know, superstitious at all, the road 665 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 1: team has always won. Okay, Ravens of the road team 666 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: this time. So we got a lot of a lot 667 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: of arrows pointing to a Ravens Dubs. I also am confident. Um. 668 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: I was confident last year. Um, but I am confident. 669 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: I agree with everything that you just said, and I 670 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: just I think that when the game, when the final 671 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: whist blows on Sunday, we're gonna be looking at it 672 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: a two score victory for the Ravens that's a it's 673 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,439 Speaker 1: a two score win, and and you know, I don't 674 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: think it's a blowout, but I think that it's a 675 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: game that the Ravens control for most of it and 676 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: they end up winning by two scores. That's my expectation. 677 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: And I think that the path that the Ravens have 678 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: taken their their mentality going into the playoffs, all the 679 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, the adversity that they faced. You know, I 680 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: think that the narrative that last year in the playoffs 681 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: that the Ravens are on cruise control and they weren't focused, 682 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: I think that's overblown that uh, you know, and there 683 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: was the rust factor after the bye. I think all 684 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: that was a little overblown. But I do think that 685 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: like they just the biggest thing I think was that 686 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: they hadn't taken many hits to the chin, right, and 687 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: and they took one in the first quarter of that game, 688 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: and they couldn't quite bounce back. And it was a 689 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: weird game and they were close to break it through, 690 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: but they just never did. And um, and I think 691 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: that the Ravens have taken some shot this year and 692 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: I think that that has legitimately made them stronger, and 693 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: even just the experience of last year. You know, the 694 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: two thousands, Like you said, the two twelve Ravens don't 695 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: win at all if they didn't have what happened in 696 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven happened to them. And so I think, 697 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: you know, losing that game last year does make this 698 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: team stronger, that you know that if they get in 699 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: a dog fight, that they're gonna be better, a better 700 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: team in that situation this year. So for all those reasons, 701 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a win. Rolled right into it. You 702 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: didn't see it coming, didn't wasn't ready for. I wasn't 703 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: ready for anyway. Thanks for listening.
