1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball. Nope. Once the air beat 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: him and everybody's like, really, way to go. And then 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: the second that they they do it and it doesn't 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: necessarily work, it's like, what terrible strategy. Here's what's going 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: on is you've lost a number of drafts consecutively here 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: and any competition that we've had, and thus you're getting 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: a little gun child. He gave a great analogy to 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: the reporters. He's like, it's like your computer shutting down 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: in the middle of writing an article. How do you 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: respond to that? What was not good? I would start 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: I have had that happening. I start bugging out. Welcome 12 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: into the lounge. We're sad to say we're unable to 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: secure the guests this week. We had high hopes from 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: multiple form multiple different guests. Well, let's run through it, 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: let's go, let's peel back the curtain here. Yeah. So 16 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: we at Alex cause, which was we were really excited 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: about because he's the ghost. Because he's the ghost and 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: if you've if you've been listening to the podcast for 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: a while, you know that we've had him booked multiple times, 20 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: and then and then, and then we got so distraught 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: over him dodging us, that we were just like, you 22 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: know what, We're too good for Alex. He needs us 23 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: more than we need him. And then all and Mac 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, we it was on Wednesday, and he was 25 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: not practicing on Wednesday because he was sick. So I 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: will give him a bit of a pass. He didn't 27 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: just dodge, and I don't. I don't want to get 28 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: his sickness. I'm already sick as a dog. That's why 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm sitting about ten feet away from you. Seriously, that 30 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: might be it might be a good thing that we 31 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: don't have a guest this week, because really, priory number 32 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: one is to not get any players sick. That's a 33 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: sure fire way to get your butt kicked out of 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: this place. If you go into work and start getting 35 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: the players sick, you're in trouble. Yeah. Um, So, so 36 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: we had Aux booked and then so that happened. Then 37 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: we said, you know what, We're going to Buck Allen. 38 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: You know, because number two in the number two, the 39 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: next man up. We can roll with the cliches too. Yeah, 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: So we went next man up and Buck was in. 41 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: He was in. Uh. Then sends the uh. He sends 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: the message and says, actually, you know what, I forgot. 43 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: I've got a lift during that time. It's not gonna work. 44 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: So we had Okay. Then I found Alex again and 45 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: then I talked to Alex and I said, Alex, you're 46 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: back practice. You're back at practice, You're feeling good, you're healthy. 47 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: How you doing that? You're ready for the podcast? And 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: he said he had some stuff to do, so it 49 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: wasn't able to be in here. He said it could 50 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: be after that, but the timing was not going to 51 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: be good. So then we started thinking about some other guests. 52 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: But then I went back to Buck. Then yeah, then 53 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: I went back to book. Oh yeah, I forgot about this. 54 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: I forgot about that. I'm like, Book, I've been looking 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: for your bad He's like, I'm like, you do it 56 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: after after what's meeting? After team meeting, because they come 57 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: off the practice field, then they go to team meeting, 58 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: and then team meeting is until about almost five o'clock. 59 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: All right, so he says, mah man, sorry, I gotta 60 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: pick up my kid from daycare at five o'clock. He says, 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: unless I said, I was like, well, you had it 62 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: for thirty He's like, hey, if you want to pay 63 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: my late fund, my late for picking up my kid late. 64 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: Then you know, go for it. I say how much? 65 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: So the hundred fifty bucks, I say, you gotta be 66 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: kid me. No way he'll pay that. Well, I think 67 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: what we need we need to put some money in 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: the budget next year for daycare late fees for players. 69 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: My daycare is only fifty bucks. I don't know what 70 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: kind of bougie daycare he was maybe trying to skim 71 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: off the top for me he was going to keep. 72 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: So with all that said, UM, I do feel fairly 73 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: confident that we will be able to get both of 74 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: them on the podcast at different times. UM. I talked 75 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: to Alex and he said that he would do it 76 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: next week. So we just got to make sure that 77 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: we nailed down a day. Said you're gonna remind me 78 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: right and said yes, He said, you don't remind me, 79 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: and I said, you don't gotta worry about that. So 80 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get him. All that said, it's 81 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: just me and you this week. So, but there's there's 82 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people talking about there, there's a lot 83 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: to talk about. Ravens are one on one. We haven't 84 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: done one just for the two of us since the 85 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: season started. Uh, So, I think that there's something to digest. 86 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: We did one with Pitta after the first week of 87 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: the season, so and then and then who else do 88 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: we have? That's the second one since the season started. Uh, 89 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: lay in here in a little while. Yeah, we're kind 90 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: of we're slack. We need we need to pick it up. 91 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: Pitted us account as a player full offense to Dennis 92 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: pit Up. Yeah, definitely, then should be taking um so 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: before we get into just sort of our thoughts on 94 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: where the season is right now, where the team is 95 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: and all that. Let's go ahead. We always ask for 96 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: these audio questions. We don't get a ton of them, true, 97 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: but we got a good one this week, and this 98 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: is from Lauren Michael Baker, So go ahead and play 99 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: that question. Hi, this is Lauren Baker, Towson University graduate, 100 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: Ravens fan and I currently live in Los Angeles, California. 101 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: So I've been reading up on Tom Flacco, the younger 102 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: brother of Joe Flacco. Tom just won a National Award 103 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: for the FC Player of the Week in the Towson 104 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: uh the division that Housen's in for their upset one 105 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: over Villanova where Tom through and ran for sixty six 106 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: yards on the ground, accumulating a total of three six yards. Also, 107 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: Flacco is leading the division with three three yards per game. 108 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: So my question is, even after the Lamar Jackson Draft 109 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: which just happened, um, it was like Tom Flacco will 110 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: be available, uh in two years in the NFL draft, 111 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: do you foresee the Ravens pulling Jimmy g trading Lamar 112 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: and then going after Tom Flacco to be the obvious 113 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: backup of Joe Go Tigers. So what do you think 114 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens ultimately going to go from a Flacco to 115 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: Flacco connection, Joe Flacco to Tom Flacco. Well, you know, 116 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: I love it as a as a you know the media, 117 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: it's a great story. We always pull a little story, 118 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: we play. We pulled for the story more than anything else. Right, Well, 119 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: I pulled for another suit Bowl ring first and foremost. Yes, 120 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: I know that, and the party that goes along with 121 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: it put a close, close look second. Good story. Um, 122 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: so yeah, that would be amazing. I mean, how unreal 123 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: is it really that you have Joe Flacco starting here 124 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: and just up the road, you know, fifteen minutes away 125 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: or whatever, you have his brother starting for Towson. I mean, 126 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: it's that's pretty crazy. Yeah, it definitely is. I mean 127 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: I think I couldn't tell if Lauren was being a 128 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: little facetious in this question. You know, he's he's a 129 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: housing guy. He's a housing guy, so you know, he's 130 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: he's pulling for the hometown Tigers, which I could appreciate. 131 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: They just got a big win over Villa Nova. Yeah, 132 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: and he was it. I never got that. Yeah, and 133 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: and uh he was what player of the week, So 134 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: Tom was that was he? Yeah? I didn't see that 135 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: put up big numbers. He's put up big numbers. So 136 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, obviously, I don't think they're gonna 137 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: go from They're gonna trade Mark Jackson and just said 138 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: we're going with Flacco family all day every day. But 139 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: I do you know one thing that's kind of crazy 140 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: is like Joe was a quarterback that went to pitt 141 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: and then went to Delaware, And when you go to Delaware, 142 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: you're not necessarily expected to come out and be this 143 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: like big time player now early not obviously like the 144 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: only two guys now. When when the quarterback his time 145 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: was done at Delaware, it was pretty clear that he 146 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: was going to be a first or maybe second round 147 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: pick by the time it's all said and done. But 148 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe Tom ends up at Towson and has 149 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: a great season this year, which is already afso a 150 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: great season, and then he starts to get some books 151 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: in NFL teams. I mean, I don't think it's outside 152 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: their own possibility. Who knows, No, I mean, crazier things 153 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: have happened. Uh. Joe obviously is like he's more built 154 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: like a quarterback r like Tom. I mean, if you 155 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: were looking at him side by side, you would be like, oh, 156 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: is this Joe's chauffeur, you know, I mean, like you know, 157 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: it's not the same um, but like, hey man, if 158 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: you can play, you can play, and putting up those 159 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: numbers of Thowson do you play? Yeah, And like you know, 160 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: I think that, like people look at him and and 161 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, when you compare him next to Joe, you're like, well, 162 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: you can't throw, you know, he's not whatever, but like 163 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: he can throw a little bit. And he's kind of 164 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: labeled as like an right, he's kind of labeled as 165 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: like a running quarterback, but he's he's been better than 166 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: just that. He doesn't need to be putting that box. 167 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: So hey, Mae, maybe think maybe hey how a practice 168 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: squad at least bring him in for that. He could 169 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: be the Josh woodrum. Well there was, there was. Joe's 170 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: other brother was here for a workout a few years ago. 171 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: Remember that Ki Manicamp tight end. Yeah, I forget his name, 172 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: but uh, he was here for a weekend. I didn't 173 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: end up making the team, but you know, maybe Tom's 174 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: the next Flacco would come on down the line, maybe, 175 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: I hope. So yeah, all right, so let's talk about 176 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: where this team is right now one on one. Uh, 177 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: last week and we did the podcast Pito, we were 178 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: booking our trip to Atlanta. So you still got those 179 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: reservations on the books for Super Bowl or what they're 180 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: they're refundable. Okay, I mean here's here's the thing. I 181 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: still think the Ravens are a really good team. Like 182 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: IM not going to shy away from that. Um And 183 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: if C J. Mosley's injury isn't a long term injury, 184 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: which it doesn't look like it because he's back at 185 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: practice today, which is just mind boggling to me. After 186 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: the initial you saw him harder off the field in Cincinnati. 187 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thought, well, he'll be back on 188 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: practice field in a week, you know, I mean your 189 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: immedia thought. Whenever you see any players suffering knee injury, 190 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: specifically when that's non contact, you're like, well that's any seal, Yeah, 191 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: see you next year. That's the first thing to flash 192 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: through your head. Then you're like, okay, n Bruce, Okay, 193 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: Bruise bon in his knee alright, Like well, I'm probably 194 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: thinking a few weeks, several weeks, whatever, he'll be back 195 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: a few weeks, you know, we can hold it down 196 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: the fort. Then then he's back on the field a 197 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: week later. I mean this whole time when when John 198 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: was like after the game, he was like, well, you 199 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: know we have, you know, a long week, you know, 200 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: Thursday night game, you have ten days before you play 201 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: our next game. You know what, you know we'll see 202 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: and then a week well we're not gonna say, you know. 203 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: Maybe I was like, come on, guys, yeah, come on, guys, 204 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: he's not gonna play. But now you don't I think 205 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: he might. I think there's a chance. I think there's 206 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: a chance. Well they don't saying he's going to, but 207 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: I think there's a chance. I don't think you put 208 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: him on the field if there's no chance exactly, you know, 209 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: So they wanted to see how he probably responded to 210 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: being out there on the field today, and hopefully it 211 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: was well, is there any time that half man, half 212 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: amazing ever applied more than today. I Mean, here's the 213 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: thing with c J. And we've said it before. I mean, 214 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: the dude is one of the toughest guys in the 215 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: locker room in the NFL. He plays such a physical position. 216 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't miss any time, He barely misses any snap 217 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: two games, um, and he just he's a great player, 218 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: tough dude. And I think that like you can't And 219 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: it was interesting today Wenke Martindale talked about it and 220 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: he basically said the same thing. Like part of the 221 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: reason that I think that the defense was so caught 222 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: off guard when c J left the game is because 223 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: he never leaves a game. He never comes off the field. 224 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: Everything runs through him, and so when he leaves. He 225 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: gave a great analogy to the reporters. He's like, it's like, 226 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: it's like your computer shutting down in the middle of 227 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: writing an article. How do you respond to that? What 228 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: was not good? I would serve I have had that, 229 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: have I start bugging out a lot of cursing. Yeah, 230 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: So anyway, it's it's pretty remarkable that he's back on 231 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: the field. Will say he plays on Sunday. I think 232 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: regardless of whether he plays on Sunday, the good news is, 233 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens got that matchup looming with the 234 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: Steelers a week from today or a week from the 235 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, the week four, and getting him on the 236 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: field today is you know, goodes Well, I would think 237 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: for that game, I would agree. But anyway, back to 238 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: the team as a whole, big picture, A big picture, Okay, 239 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: I still think this is a good team. I I 240 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: do think that. Uh, you know, the defense obviously, like 241 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: we said, got rattled by Mosley in the second half. 242 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: They gave up six points, right, six points. Once they 243 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: kind of got over the loss, got the headset onto 244 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: Wettle and things settled down a little bit. That was 245 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: a lot better and and I think it was a 246 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: good sign for the defense being able to make an 247 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: adjustment adjustments mid game. The blitz wasn't working against the Bengals, 248 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: right They were bringing the heat and the Bengals and 249 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton are just good at at beating that stuff. 250 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: They're quick temp or quick, you know, get rid of 251 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: the ball quickly kind of offense. That's what Andy does well. 252 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: They Ravens trying to do some things in the gate 253 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: that but it wasn't working, so they kind of backed 254 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: off and play better. I think that's a good sign. 255 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: I also think that it's a good sign that the offense, 256 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: after you know, early interception, after really stubborn their toe, 257 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: they kind of rallied a little bit. Both sides of 258 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: the ball rallied, And I think that says something about 259 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: a team. You know, when you're down twenty one nothing 260 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: on the road on Thursday night football in their home 261 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: opener in Cincinnati against a team that has kind of 262 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: had in Ravens number in recent years. Yeah, and it's 263 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: just a good team in general. Like that could have 264 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: been an ugly, ugly game. That could have been a 265 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: Ravens Miami Dolphins game from last year. When you fall behind, 266 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: you when you fall behind twenty why nothing, it's even 267 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: hard to come back. So I think it does say 268 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,239 Speaker 1: something about the team and the character of this team 269 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: that they rallied and had when they were in position 270 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: to do it. If that Tavon Young played and get 271 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: if he didn't get called for holding and they pumped 272 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: back to the Ravens with them down five at that point, 273 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: they're down five at that point, could have come out 274 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: of that with a win. I almost there for a 275 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,239 Speaker 1: while for a little bit, I was thinking they're gonna win. Yeah, 276 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: I think that. I think there's probably a lot of 277 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: feeling that was gonna be the case. You know, I 278 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: think that I totally agree with you. Um. I think 279 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: going into the season, I never really people kind of 280 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: forgot that the Bengals were in the division. When you 281 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: go through and you're talking about teams, everyone talked about 282 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: the Steelers and they're like, yeah, there's the Bengals. I 283 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: was always like, why are people down on the Bengals. 284 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: I feel like they're a pretty good team and I 285 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: feel like we've seen that. Last year. It was like 286 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: a odd year for them that their offense was so 287 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: bad despite all the weapons they had. Their offensive line 288 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: was really tough. But they went this offseason they got 289 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: Corty Glenn. They kind of short up their offensive line. 290 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: So once you do that, like those weapons have a 291 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: chance to shine. They've always had weapons. Yeah, and I 292 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: think offensively for the Ravens. You have to be excited 293 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: with what you've seen through two games. I mean, four 294 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: seven points and the pouring rain against the Bills. How 295 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: many points did they finished? Twenty three against the Bengals, 296 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: which isn't like a huge number, but it's it's not bad. 297 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I sent to you in the 298 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: week leading up to last week's scheme, I think if 299 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens can get over twenty one points consistently on offense, 300 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna win a lot of games because I don't 301 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: think the defense is gonna give up that many Traditionally, Yeah, 302 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: you put up seventy points to two games as an offense, 303 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: so that's pretty good. Well, and they're they're just getting 304 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: off a lot of plays. I mean, you look at 305 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: it right now, and people are complaining about the run 306 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: game and the and the balance and run past balance, 307 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: which is like, oh my goodness, gracious, holy cow. We 308 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: debate this every single year at nauseam and I'm just 309 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: kind of like over it, um. But you look at 310 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens are in the top ten and rushing attempts, 311 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: and part of that's just because they're running so many 312 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: offensive plays, which is a good thing. Um, that bodes 313 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: well for the future that you're getting off that many plays. Um, 314 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: So anyway, let me just get on my my pedestal 315 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: here about the run pass ratio. I agree with you 316 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: on this. I know. I'm just gonna get on the 317 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: soup box for a little bit here. Stop complaining about 318 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: this is such a stupid debate, right, Like, yes, the 319 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: Ravens have to run the ball to be successful. You 320 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: know what's more important to me is successful running the 321 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: ball successfully? Right, So, like, right now, the Ravens are 322 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: acting I think three point three per carry, which is 323 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL and their number nine in the NFL 324 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: in rushing attempts. Okay, when you look at it on 325 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: the surface, you say, you're not running the ball. Well, 326 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: yet you're still running it a lot. Stop running it 327 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: so much. Well, here's what that's on the surface. Here's 328 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: here's the reason why there's a discussion about it is 329 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: because they threw the ball times against the Bengals. That's 330 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: why you're down. You're down twenty one nothing. You have 331 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: to throw the ball more. And and like here's the 332 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: funny part about it too. It's like nobody was complaining 333 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: about the Ravens pass heavy offense in the pouring rain 334 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: against the Bills, which like you know, was crazy because 335 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: and it turned out to be the right strategy because 336 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: the Bills were loading up for the run. Their game 337 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: plan was to stop the run and stop outs Collins 338 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: because they figured pouring rain, ravens, they're gonna run the ball. Nope, 339 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: once the air beat him, and everybody's like, brilliant way 340 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: to go. And then the second that they they do 341 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: it and it doesn't necessarily work, it's like, what terrible strategy? Well, 342 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: I think I never like when you when a game's 343 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: over and you just you just look at it and say, well, 344 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: fifty five running attempts to what however many or fifty 345 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: five passing attempts or whatever the number of rushing attempts 346 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: that they had I can't remember off the top of 347 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: my head, but that doesn't really matter. They threw the 348 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: ball a ton at the end of the game. I 349 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: mean they racked up like eighteen That last drive probably 350 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: had eleven straight passage through the ball team street times 351 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: to end the game. Well, what do you want them 352 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: to do? Do you want them to just run draw 353 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: plays up the middle when they have two minutes to 354 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: drive down there with the TV. What are you doing right? Right? 355 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: I totally agree. I do think however, they need to 356 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: be more successful running the ball, that's for sure. And 357 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: I would agree with the fans who were wondering, where's 358 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: Alex Collins in the fourth quarter? He was ripping, he 359 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: was tearing it up. Yeah, and even catching the ball. 360 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: This is separate from the run pass ratio. Even catching 361 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: the ball. You know, Alex is making plays happen, making 362 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: things happen on dump balls, and you're like, why isn't 363 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: Alex Collins that guy in the fourth quarter? You they 364 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: are it. Just get the ball to your playmaker. I 365 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: think that's fair. Yeah, but I'm told be with you 366 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: on the run pass balance. It's something that's been debated 367 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: here every every loss. It's a question. Yeah, it's just like, goodness, gracious, 368 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: can we get over this? And also the stat of 369 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, how whenever Joe's throwing the ball more than 370 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: fifty times or whatever, they've lost, you know, nine out 371 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 1: of eleven times, Well, typically when you're losing, you end 372 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,719 Speaker 1: up throwing the ball more. You're trying to catch up, 373 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: and you end up, like on Thursday's game, when you 374 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: throw the ball you know, eight ten straight times to 375 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: end the game. Because it's the fourth quarter, you're trying 376 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: to move the ball down the field. People don't understand 377 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: closet effect, right, because you threw fifty times doesn't mean 378 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: you lost. Sometimes it's because you're losing and that's why 379 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: you threw the ball fifty times. Yeah. Anyway, all right, 380 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm getting off my soapbox. I'm back nice um so, 381 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,719 Speaker 1: But overall, I mean, I'm happy with where the offense is. 382 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: I do again, I think they need to kind of 383 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: figure out how to run the ball more successful. But 384 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: you gotta like for the passing games. You gotta like 385 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: what you've seen from John Brown. And you know who 386 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: I think has been one of the nicest surprises to 387 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: start the season as Mark Andrews. You know, he's somebody 388 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: who we didn't see much um during the preseason because 389 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: he was hurt. He's come out there and and made 390 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of a name for himself to these 391 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: for a few weeks and with Hayton Hurst being out 392 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: and he sees his opportunity well yeah, I mean, the 393 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: interesting thing here is I think that Mark Andrews has 394 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: been able to just basically step into the role that 395 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: they carved out for Hayden Hurts. Right. When Hayden Hursts 396 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: went down, the question was like, well, do the Ravens 397 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: have to change their offense? And they probably question that themselves, Right, 398 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: are we going to still be able to do the 399 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: same things that we plan to do with Hayden with Mark? Right? 400 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: And because the Ravens are very tight end, tight end 401 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: heavy offense, and it's it's a testament to Mark that 402 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: he's been able to do that. You know, I don't 403 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: think that they've really altered much. Yeah, all right, so wait, 404 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't know one other offensive topic on top. Lamar Jackson. 405 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Um, you know, I think you are you 406 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: ready to pull the plugs. I'm not ready to pull 407 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: a plug. I'm not ready to pull a plug. Uh, 408 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: because I don't think that a two game sample size 409 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: is enough to pull the plug. There's been some kind 410 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: of glimpses. Um. You know, looking back to last week's game, 411 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: they had a chance to hit a big play when 412 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: they fake to Lamar Joe just missed Nick Boyle up 413 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: the seam and Nick was wide open because they were 414 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,239 Speaker 1: coming down to Van. Lamar Jackson forgot. Um, you know, 415 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: Alex Collins also had a big run on Lamar Jackson 416 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: play and we came back for a holding call. Oh well. 417 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: He also had Alex's longest run of the season, fourteen 418 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,239 Speaker 1: yards against the Angles, came when Lamar Jackson handed him 419 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: the ball off in RPL. Yeah. So I'm not ready 420 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: to pull the plug. I do. I do think you know, 421 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: certainly there you gotta be careful with how you use 422 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: it and if it doesn't at some point, if you're 423 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: not having success with it, then you do need to 424 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: pull the plug. I'm not there yet, and I think 425 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: that it's forced teams to game plan against it. And 426 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 1: so now what you're seeing is there was uncertainty. How 427 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: are the Ravens gonna use him? What is that role 428 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: gonna be? Now we kind of know it, and teams 429 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: have adjusted to the Ravens. When the Ravens now have 430 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: to adjust back. Yeah, I mean, I think like obviously 431 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: the play with Buck Allen where he got the ball 432 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: and he was going to pitch it to Lamar and like, 433 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm blown up, got blown up and swarmed and you'r 434 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: you see at for a loss of seven, You're like, um, 435 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: But I mean, if you pull the plug. Now, when 436 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: are you gonna plug you back in? Yeah? Right, I mean, 437 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: like why why now? I just don't think there's most 438 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: of the sample size. I think, you know, like what 439 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: I when I really like it is as a jump start. 440 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 1: That's what. Like in the first half of last week's game, 441 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: when the offense was kind of slow to keep going, 442 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: I actually wanted to see a little bit more. I 443 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: was like, let's see it a little bit more to 444 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: get him out there because the offense wasn't really moving. 445 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: So if you go through a couple of drives to 446 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: start a game where the offense is stagnant, so you 447 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: go three and out, three and out, why not come 448 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: out there in the next series and run a couple 449 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: of players? Then, I mean I like to see you know. 450 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: I did an interview with with you know, John, and 451 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: he basically, we gotta we got an offensive, two quarterbacks, 452 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: and we're gonna use both of them, um, which you 453 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: know they're they're committed to it. Yeah, yeah, totally, and 454 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad they are. Yeah. I think he's gonna break 455 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: one at some point. He's gonna break one at some point, 456 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: or they're gonna get some trick play. Some guys gonna 457 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: be wide open and he's gonna hit him for a 458 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: bottom or hell, maybe Joe Flacco on a route one 459 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: of these days. Right now, there's a different things you 460 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: can do with it. Yeah, yeah, I love just I 461 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: do love to watching Joe staying out there and he's 462 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: just like just like limp out there and like William 463 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: Jackson's on him, like yeah, it's just great. I think 464 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: it's funny. Yeah. Um, so anything else we should hit. No, 465 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: I mean I said we should have had the common 466 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: man on here. You shut that down now in no 467 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: common man this week? Why not? We we will bring 468 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: the common back on when common man back on, when 469 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: we have a good draft, because we didn't have. You 470 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: wanted to force the draft, and I'm all, I'm all 471 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: about the drafts, but we gotta have We gotta have 472 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: one that comes to us, not just a force draft, 473 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: because why don't you start forcing things? It goes back 474 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: to Lamar Jackson stuff. You know, you want to sprinkle 475 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: it in. You don't want to overuse it. You want 476 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: to use it, you don't. You don't want to force it. 477 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: If you start forcing it, it's not gonna work. Then 478 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: to sign a pull uplock when it comes to you 479 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: naturally and at the time is right. That's when you 480 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: have the drafts. Here's what's going on is you've lost 481 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: a number of drafts consecutively here and any competition that 482 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: we've had and dust you're getting a little gunshie. That's 483 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: what's going on. Think about a good draft and we 484 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: will come to the inclusion on what that is. We 485 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: need the crowdsources, we do. You lounge at Ravens NFL 486 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: dot net, let us know what the next draft is 487 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: that you want, and just real quick on Sunday's game 488 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: against the Broncos. You know, I'm definitely nervous about von 489 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: Miller and Bradley Chubb coming to town because Geno Atkins 490 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: and Carlos Dunlap reat havoc last week. Stopping von Miller 491 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: is a task that very few teams have figured out, 492 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: you know. Basically, Hardwall said he was blocked on single 493 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: coverage twice last week's game, and on both plays he 494 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: ended up with a sack. So I don't think we're 495 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: gonna see too much single coverage against von Miller this week, 496 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be interesting to see what the Ravens 497 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: can do against him. Because the offense line had his 498 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: issues against Cincinnati. So I mean, I still think that 499 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: this is a win for the Ravens. I feel I 500 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: don't know they're five point favorites. Do you know that 501 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens are five point favorites. Good at home? Yeah, 502 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: they're good at home home especial sleep in September. Not 503 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: like I think that actually has any meaning. But I 504 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: think that Raymonds are a team, a company, long track. 505 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: I think the September success part of it is that 506 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 1: they have good training camps. Good training camp. I think 507 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: they're very well prepared going into a sea and I 508 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: think that some other teams maybe take a little bit 509 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: while a bit longer to get going once the season begins. 510 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: I'd agree with that. Um. I had a funny, funny 511 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: conversation with James first about von Miller about well. I 512 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: asked him this question. I said, as you're preparing during 513 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: the course of the week to face a guy like 514 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: von Miller, is there part of you that goes to 515 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: Joe d or Marty and says, leaving one on one, 516 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: I got I can take this guy because you have 517 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 1: to like to face those guys. Can't be scared, you know, 518 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: you have to go in confident. You have to go 519 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: in thinking you're the baddest dude of the block, right, 520 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: And so's the part of you that goes up so 521 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: says I got it. And then at the same time 522 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: you're watching film, and there's part of you that says, 523 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, if you want to send oil over, I'm 524 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: okay with that too, you know. And he just got 525 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: a lot to He was like, yeah, there's both of 526 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: those things. It's funny. I heard some reporter came out 527 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: to him and wanted to interview him and asked, like, so, 528 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: you're you're facing von Miller this week. James like, yeah, 529 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,719 Speaker 1: I've heard of him. You know. It's like you got 530 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: von Miller this week? Yeah, I know. I don't. Anyway, 531 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: hopefully they don't have to send me an you down 532 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: there to chip block Von to give anybody any extra 533 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: I'm not asking to take him one on one. I 534 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: don't need the hero car there, and don't he said, 535 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: give it to me. I got.

On just wanted to he did. I 538 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: was a little concerned there for a second. He put 539 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: his hands on man anyway, we should probably this is 540 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: really started to go down.
