1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. Not a size 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: him up Monday. Ravens are coming off a sixteen to 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: thirteen lots of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week seventeen. Not 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: exactly a confidence inspiring performance. The Ravens no longer control 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: their own destiny in the f C North. They need 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: the Bengals to lose tonight to the to the Bills 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: in order to have a shot at winning the a 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: f C Tight a f C North title next week 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. I'll start here, Garrett stinks. What a what 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: a garbage year so far it's been. It's been a 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: rough start. I mean even terrible year. I would say 12 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: even worse for me uh as an Ohio State fan. 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: Literally the guy missed the kick in the college football 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: semifinal as the clock struck midnight. So it's been a rough, 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: rough starte on the football front. But yeah, um not 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: not the kind of game you want to see from 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens at this point in the season, with the 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: playoffs right around the corner. You're at home and you 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: just got run on and you couldn't stop the run. 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: You couldn't pick up a first down or two late 21 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: in the game on offense that that would have potentially 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: sealed the game, and you end up just with this 23 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: bad feeling losing control of your own destiny. Still a chance, 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: I mean, not far fetched at all to think that 25 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: the Bills could beat the Bengals tonight, but bigger than 26 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: than kind of just the standings. I think that part 27 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: of the reason this loss stings the way it does 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: is it just doesn't make you feel good about where 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: the team is heading into the playoffs. Of course, you 30 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: want to win, you want to win the division, all 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: that stuff, and the standings are important, but when you 32 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: just look at the big picture in terms of, okay, 33 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: what is this team, where's it going? Can they make 34 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: some you know, can they make a run in January? 35 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: You just don't feel great after a game like that 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: about the state of the team at this time of 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, for sure. I mean they you know, 38 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: we all keep saying the offense has to improve, they 39 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: need to they need to solve the red zone issues, 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: they have to improve, you know, the passing game on offense, 41 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: and certainly, you know, the team's top offensive player, Lamar Jackson, 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: still isn't on the field. So I haven't had a 43 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: chance to do that. But you know, is he gonna 44 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: play next week, you know against the Bengals. That you're 45 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: running out of time to make those improvements, right, And 46 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: and we've seen the red zone struggles be a consistent 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: problem over the really most of the year. Uh, and 48 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: they were once again, I mean lack of the league 49 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: it resident offense. I mean exactly, we got a we've 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: got a sixteen game sample size to show that the 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: resident offense has just not been good this year. That's correct. Um, So, 52 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know what's what's going on. You know, 53 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: haven't fixed the red zone problems. Uh. You know, you 54 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: really are lacking offensive firepower without Lamar, without Rashad Bateman, 55 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, without wide receivers. He had wide receivers combined 56 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: to catches for eighteen yards yesterday, you know, and that's 57 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: just not a good combination offensively. When you run, run, run, run, run, 58 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: and you set up settle for field goals, you know, 59 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: now you're all of a sudden you're forcing your defense 60 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: to keep the other team out of the end zone 61 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: time and time and time again. The Ravens almost did 62 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: it against the Steelers, but you know, I think I 63 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: think they got worn down late in this game, and 64 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: the Steelers marched down the field and punched in the 65 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 1: in the end zone with a minute left to win. 66 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: And and you know, like, I can't even you can't 67 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: even be mad at the defense for the performance overall 68 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: that they put up pretty darn good. You know, didn't 69 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: get the turnover, but you didn't get the turnovers. You know, 70 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: you didn't get the splash plays on defense that really 71 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, in the in the Ravens victories, there's been 72 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: turnovers when when the offense isn't playing well enough right 73 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: now for the defense to the defense has to make 74 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: up for it with turnovers, you know, like they have 75 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 1: to go above and beyond, and didn't didn't get any 76 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: from Kenny Pickett, and and that's what you get me. 77 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: It's like, Yeah, when we've talked this year about kind 78 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: of the formula that's kind of a buzzword about this 79 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: team and can they can this work? Turnovers on defense 80 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: have always been a part of that formula. And the 81 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: thing that's always made me nervous about that, and I've 82 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: said this before on the podcast, is like turnovers have 83 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: a flukey component to them. There is a little bit 84 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: of a luck factor that goes to the turnovers, and 85 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: they weren't able to get up. You know, sometimes it's 86 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: just a matter of being a couple of feet over, 87 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: a couple of inches over. Like there's that tip pass 88 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: that dafe O way. You know, it was in the 89 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood four and everyone kind of sees that 90 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: one floating over the middle of the field and you're like, oh, 91 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: here we here we go, and just no one was 92 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: in positioned to make that catch. That's one of those 93 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: kind of weird flukey things that I'm talking about on 94 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: the turnover front. And so I just think that it 95 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: is it can be difficult to project those from week 96 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: to week. And and look, I mean the defense had 97 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: they gave up sixteen points, um, but your point about 98 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: you can't be mad about the defense that they gave 99 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: up way too many yards on the ground. I mean 100 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Steelers were living in second and two 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: the entire day. And you know, Patrick Queen after the 102 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: game just said, we got whooped, we got whooped, And 103 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: he feels like it's on the linebackers on the front 104 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: seven and the Ravens have been an excellent run defense 105 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: the entire season and all of a sudden, they go 106 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,119 Speaker 1: into this game and the Steelers, as John Hardball said, 107 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: they flipped the script the Ravens are used to be in. 108 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: The team that lives in second, is short and runs 109 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: the ball down opposing defensive throats and wears you down 110 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. And that's what they did in Pittsburgh. 111 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: And this was the Steelers taking their turn. I think 112 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: I think both of us said going into this game, 113 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know, Mike Tomlin, all week long, they 114 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: put up over two rushing yards on us, They manned 115 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: us up, they outmanned us this last game in our house, 116 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna let them do that. You're gonna punch back. 117 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 1: You know. That was the just beaten banging the drum 118 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: with that in Pittsburgh all week long, challenging his guy's 119 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: manhood and all that stuff in the rivalry game, and 120 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: they came out and they played like it. You know, 121 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: they said, you know what, we're gonna be the team 122 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: that smacks you in the mouth this time. You're not 123 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: gonna outphysical us in this rivalry two times straight. And 124 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: and they did. And you know, I think obviously part 125 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: of that, A big part of that is klais Campbell 126 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: not being on the field. I think the Ravens certainly 127 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: felt that, um, but it still should have been better 128 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: run defense than that, even with Calais out of the lineup. 129 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: He was out of the lineup last week too, you know, 130 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: and they played better than that against the Falcons. So 131 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, the Falcons ran the ball, okay, though you know, 132 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: a great player, like I'm not gonna say that, like 133 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: his absence is one you can just overlook. But at 134 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: the same time, I think I feel like the Ravens 135 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: have capable guys on the defensive front to give up 136 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: the totally he did yesterday. I absolutely agree, absolutely agree. 137 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: And it has to be better than that. I mean, 138 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,239 Speaker 1: you have the best inside linebacker do in the league. 139 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 1: You got, you got some studs on the defensive line, 140 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: you got a bunch of outside linebackers, you set the edge, like, 141 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: it's got to be better than that. Yeah, And I think, 142 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, as we've talked about in the past with 143 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: the with with it's like it seems like there's just 144 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: been this theme and trend and things that have happened 145 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: multiple times over the course of the season. And you 146 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: have this game where you know, the offense, the red 147 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: zone issues come up again. The offense isn't really able 148 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: to move the ball consistently, the receivers aren't making are 149 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: aren't involved in making plays. Those have all been in trends. 150 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: And then at the end of the game, the defense 151 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: gives up a late drive and that's been a trend too, 152 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: And so it's just like these things that have come 153 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: up over and over again. Well, I think big picture 154 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: of the defense played, Okay, okay, the run defense was 155 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: not nearly good enough, but still you have all that. 156 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: But then the defense, which is the strength of this team, 157 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: has a chance to get the stop. They have the 158 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: chance to get the stop at the end of the game, 159 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: and the Steelers march down the field and score with 160 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: a minute left. And like, you just can't allow that happened. 161 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: If you're going to be a team when you're playing 162 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: good offenses in January, you can't let that happen. And 163 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: I think that, like you always give me a hard time. 164 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: You always give me a hard time. Say I'm scared 165 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: of the Steelers. You always say I'm scared of the Steeler. 166 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Like, there's a reason that Mike 167 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: Tomlin and his fifteen years as the head coach. The 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: team has never had a losing season, and there was 169 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: this was an opportunity to make that happen, to knock 170 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: them out of playoff contention. And like, how many times 171 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: has it been over the past five years that the 172 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: Steelers look like they're done in like week eight and 173 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: you're like, at they started two and six, two and six, 174 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: and they look like one of the worst five teams 175 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: in the league, and they turn it around. Then all 176 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: of a sudden they get some guys healthy and then 177 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: they're now they have a realistic chance to make the 178 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: playoffs next week. They also are the king they get 179 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: every single playoffs scenario. I'm just I'm just saying they 180 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: always get like it's like they need five teams to 181 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: lose and they needed to win yesterday and yeah they 182 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: did have anybody else to think for that they did. Yep, 183 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: that's very true. Why why do you love the Steelers? 184 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: We're scared and you love them. You're just gonna go 185 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: you want to go out continue ran about how good 186 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: the Steelers are. Go ahead on a Ravens podcast. Go ahead, 187 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: those are That's why the Steelers have been so good 188 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: is that they're able to win the close games like that. 189 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: And of course the Rains have won plenty of games 190 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: against the Steelers over the years. I'm not saying it's 191 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: not like the Ravens can beat him, but like when 192 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: you talk about a team that it really seems like 193 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: they have no business being in the playoffs and now 194 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden maybe making it. It's because you 195 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: win like that. Credit to them, they turned their season around, 196 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: I agree. I think also credit to Kenny Pickett. You know, 197 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: I didn't think he was like, you know, didn't put 198 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: up huge numbers fifty seven for a buck sixty eight 199 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: and one touchdown, but he didn't turn the ball over 200 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: and time and time again, the Ravens defense had him 201 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: on the run, scrambling outside the pocket, and he found 202 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: open receivers to move the chains in third down situations. 203 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: And the throw, the game winning touchdown throw was a beauty. 204 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, to his left, to his left, and to 205 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: drop that thing in a bucket over ro Kwan Smith 206 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: Uh's Nagy Harris was that was a heck of a throw. 207 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: And and to me, you know, I wrote this in 208 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: the breakdown, it's like, you know, we've seen Ben Roethlisberger 209 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: rip the Ravens. Hearts out how many times I lost 210 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: track right? And I don't particularly like seeing a rookie 211 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: coming to any M ANDT Bank Stadium on Sunday night 212 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: football in that environment and do the same thing you know, 213 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: showed showed a little bit of the roth Roethlisberg moxie, 214 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger moxie and and uh, killer instinct on that. It's 215 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: actually that's kind of a good point. Like you didn't 216 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: watch the game and you weren't like man Kenny Pickett 217 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: is is, but like he did extend plays and he 218 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: avoided some sacks and then he looked downfield and then 219 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: it's like they just seemed to be It was Roethlisberger 220 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: esque in that sense where you're like, Okay, you're gonna 221 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: get this guy for a sack. Actually, you know he 222 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: gets free. And now there's you know, George Pickens twenty 223 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: five yards down the field for night making nice catch. 224 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, you gotta be kidding me, exactly. Yeah, 225 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: I thought he played a pretty good game. Yeah, don't 226 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: like it. Don't like seeing good young quarterbacks on a 227 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: f C North Rivals. No, I prefer not to have that. 228 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: And the Ravens that The problem is there's some good 229 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: ones in the division and there's gonna be for a while. 230 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: So um, look, I think on offense, that's that's that's 231 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: kind of dive into the offense. You mentioned the receivers, 232 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, basically no production. There was a tight ends 233 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: game Mark Andrews. No. People have been kind of wondering 234 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: about what's going on there. Well, he's looked back. It 235 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: looked like his old self over a hundred yards. Basically 236 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: everything ran through him. Um on the nine targets, called 237 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: every every target. Yeah, he had a great game. Mark 238 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: had a great game. And that's like that's the Ravens 239 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: passing offense that you're used to seeing. All right, find 240 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews for fifteen, Mark Andrews for twenty, Like just 241 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: get him involved and things run through him, Isaiah like 242 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: the man and I touchdown catch Um. But in the 243 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: run game, it's like you look at it and you're like, 244 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: why why couldn't they you know, kind of finished the job. 245 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: Like the run game as a whole over hundred yards 246 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: j K seventeen for nine three. But on those two 247 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: series in the fourth quarter, that's really what it came 248 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: down to, in large measure, they just and they went 249 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: three and out. They get the long return by Justice 250 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: Hiler at the forty yard line and you need like 251 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: you need like six yards to make it. That was 252 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: the first three and out. Yeah, yeah, you need like 253 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: six yards to make it, like a long field goal attempt, 254 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: and you go backwards, you lose too, and you just 255 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: can't climb out of that. You end up plenty just 256 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: a total wasted field possession. Yeah. There, and then on 257 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: the next one, same thing, three and out and now 258 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: the Steelers are in position to march down the field. 259 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: So what do you think went wrong on those two 260 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: series for the Ravens offense. Well, I think, you know, 261 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: it was the case of the Ravens have been running 262 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: ball so darned well you know recently that that you 263 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: felt like they can run against anybody, no matter who 264 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: they put in the box, no matter what look they give. 265 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: At any time, the whole stadium knows you're gonna run 266 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: the ball, and you run the ball. You know, we 267 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: asked JK that question on the on the lounge. What 268 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: does that feel like? You know, because the Ravens are 269 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: doing it and and it honestly felt like this Ravens 270 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: run game was invincible, right, just just could not be stopped. 271 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: And it was stopped in some critical situations yesterday, you know, 272 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: the ones that you're talking about. I mean you you 273 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: get the big kickoff return from Justice Hill and then 274 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: first down it's a loss to two on a run 275 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: from J. K. Dobbins, you know, and I don't know, 276 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: I'd have to look at the film to see exactly 277 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: what went wrong on those specific runs. But you didn't 278 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: run it when you needed to right now and now 279 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, and that's that's kind of you know. 280 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: Another issue with the Ravens offense is like if you, 281 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: if you, if you stub your toe running the ball, 282 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: And we've seen this in the playoffs in years past, right, like, 283 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they can't commit everything to stopping 284 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: the run, and the Steelers did. They had an extra 285 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: defensive lineman in the game, and the outside linebackers did 286 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: not look interested at all in doing anything other than 287 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: just crashing into the just crashing into the back crashing 288 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: into the backfield. T. J. Watt had the same play 289 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: whatever you know, sixty times yesterday. It was just run 290 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: as fast as you can into the backfield, try to 291 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: disrupt stuff, hit the running back or if you don't 292 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: hit the running back at the quarterback. He did the 293 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: same thing time and time and time again, right, and 294 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: so they were just they said, we're gonna you can 295 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: beat us some other way, but we're not gonna let 296 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: you run the ball. And and the Ravens still ran 297 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: the ball. Okay, you know, just j K Dubbies I thought, 298 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, to his credit after the game, he's like, 299 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: let's not all like act like we didn't run the 300 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: ball at all, Like we got totally stoned. Like they didn't. 301 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: J K. Dobbots almost ran for a hundred yards and 302 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: broke loose, you know, on several long runs. But in 303 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: some critical situations that you stub your toe and now 304 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're facing a second and twelve 305 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: on the first of those three and ounce and you 306 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: have to go pass past and and now you need 307 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: to have perfect execution to convert there. And the passing 308 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: game just it's not doesn't have perfect execution now, you know, 309 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: it's just not there. And so you know, if if 310 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: you don't run the ball or or you know, we 311 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: talked about you know, getting manageable third down situations, right, 312 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: you get in third and along too on one of 313 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: those three and ounce, you know, then okay, well, now 314 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: if you don't, if you don't have a successful run 315 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: in that situation, you're putting. Right. So like, if you're 316 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: always in third down, while third and two or third 317 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: and three is a heck of a lot better than 318 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: third and ten, when you're constantly in third down, you're 319 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: not going to convert every single one of those. You know, 320 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: like you're gonna get stuff sometimes and now you're putting 321 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: or or you're settling for a field goal, whatever it is. Right, 322 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: A lot of Ravens fans um, we're kind of complaining 323 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: over the past few weeks about we're needing to run 324 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: the ball more, And I said the same thing that 325 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: there were times when they should to run the ball. 326 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: Make them stop you, basically make them stop you in 327 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: the running game. And then you turn to the passing game. 328 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: And Greg Roman gave the running game a shot there. 329 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: And on both those drives, you're like you said, on 330 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: that the first one, you go with j K and 331 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: he loses too on the first on the first play. Now, 332 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: Morgan Moses at this point was out of the game, 333 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: and I think that that may have had some impact 334 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: because he's been playing lights out. He's been, you know, 335 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: the Braven's highest graded offensive player the last two weeks 336 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: before this game, so he's been playing excellent. So he's 337 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: out of the game at that point. That may have 338 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: had some you know, going up against t J. Watt. 339 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: Tough assignment there for Patrick McCarry to come in and 340 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: have to go up against t J. Watt. I think 341 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: that first j K run was the other side of 342 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: the field. Well you know what it was. It was 343 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: to us. But I'm just I'm just saying that at 344 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: that point in the game, Morgan Moses is out of 345 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: the game, and and so that yeah, it's a factor 346 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: for sure. I guess what I'm just trying to say 347 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: here is the Ravens trying to run the ball in 348 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: those key situations. They lose too on the first one 349 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: with with j K on that first three and out, 350 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: and then they run it twice on the next series 351 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: and like right, you had a second, you had a 352 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: second and six, they ran it for four yards. They 353 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: had a third and long too and got stow got stonewalled. Yep. 354 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: And so in those key situations, and I think, you know, 355 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: situations has been something that has come up at many 356 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: times this year too, like you need to be able 357 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: to convert there, and if you convert there, who knows. 358 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: You know, if you can get take some more time 359 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: off the clock there move the ball, that could have 360 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: been enough to do it. I mean, yeah, well, and 361 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: the previous the previous through three and out after the 362 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: Justice silverturn, you know, they got stuffed on the first 363 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: dowbum but then you know they try to just throw 364 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: it underneath the past to Isaiah likely to put him 365 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: in field goal range there, and he drops it, which 366 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: was another that was a tough flight. You know, you 367 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: give Justin Tucker a shot at a long field goal 368 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: there if he if he catches that most likely. So yeah, 369 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 1: just just you know, poor execution in critical moments down 370 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: the stretch to straight three and ounce. That was pretty 371 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: much the game. I mean, with no time outs and 372 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: under a minute left, with snoop against that defense and 373 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: those pass rushers, tough assignment and the state of the 374 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: wide receiver corps right now, I did not have much 375 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: hope of uh game tying drive in that situation. Um, 376 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: So I gotta email from a fan here. This one 377 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: comes from Trevor Watson. Uh. He says. The lack of 378 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: trust in the passing attack is obvious during must pass situations. 379 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: We continue to be predictable and forced the run at 380 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: times it doesn't need to be. I get running the 381 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: clock out, but most of our losses have been in 382 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: part of an offense playing conservative. You can almost see 383 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: the switch in the play calling. Yes, the defense is great, 384 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: but you can't flip that switch. Only up ten would 385 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: love to see more strikes down the field in the 386 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: second half and and more creation. In the past game. 387 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: It almost felt impossible for this offense to go thirty 388 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: five yards and the last drive with fifty six seconds left, 389 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: when time is not on our side, we tend to 390 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: catch a big loss. Uh. He says. Also, I bet 391 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: coach once that six yard field goal attempt back, I 392 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: get not kicking, but we have the goats. So it 393 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: just speaks to the conservative play calling. With all that said, 394 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: we're still in the dance. Um. You know, I just 395 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's funny. You know, we've all 396 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: been hammering, you know, run the ball, run the ball, 397 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: run the ball, like you're saying, run the ball until 398 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: they stopped. Um, And now we're talking about the play 399 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: calling me being too conservative. Um, you know this is 400 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: what happens after losses, right, do the opposite thing, do 401 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: you the thing that would have been a win? Um? So, 402 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: I mean I I don't. To me, I don't think 403 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: like the I'm fine with them running the ball. That's 404 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: their bread and butter. I want them to run the 405 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: ball a lot. Um. You know, they need to be 406 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: converting some of those situations. And yes, the lack of 407 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: a passing attack, everybody knows that. The Steelers know it. 408 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: Everybody in stadium knows it. Everybody knows the Ravens passing 409 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: attack right now ain't that great? And they lack you know, 410 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: explosive weapons weapons that are really scaring anybody on the outside. 411 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: That's a that's an issue. Yeah, no doubt about it. 412 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: On the field goal, I just for the record on 413 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: that one, I didn't want them to take to fit 414 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: the sixty yard field goal attempt. Like I know that 415 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: we've been kind of spoiled by Justin Tucker. And you 416 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: think they're like, oh, houm, here's a sixty yard Tucker 417 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: will not get through. That's a that's a tough kick. 418 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: That's a really tough kick In January. I know it 419 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: was like a warm night, so that the weather wasn't 420 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: really a factor there, But I don't know. I with 421 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: the way that the game was going, the way the 422 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: defense was playing, I like pin him back there and 423 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: try to play defense rather than potentially give them the 424 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: ball at the fifty yard line. Yeah, that's my take 425 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: at I don't know in that moment, I was not 426 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: saying kick it, kick kick it, kick it, Like if 427 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: you had picked up five yards, if likely catches that pass, 428 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, now it's a fifty five yard or or 429 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: fifty three yard or you know, it's a different story. 430 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: But to just tried out the kicker for a six 431 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: yard attempt, I think that's that's a tall order. Yeah. 432 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: Here's another email listen comes from Patrick Coon. Thanks for 433 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: as always for the emails. Patrick. He says, I fell 434 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: as well. That wasn't fun hoping for a Cincinni Cincinnati 435 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: loss obviously, but if they win, do you see John 436 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: resting the starters? Going in Week eight team that the 437 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 1: Bengals would win the division? In that case, if they 438 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: win tonight, um, do you see John wrestling starters? Is 439 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: the question? He said, Uh, defense played great for the 440 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: majority of the game, gave up one touchdown on some 441 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: field goals. The offense needs to be less predictable. Steelers 442 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: were snuffing out run plays all night. Oh and then oh, 443 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: this is the best part of the email. A little 444 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: jab to Garrett says that at least my Georgia Bodogs 445 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: won this weekend. Just rubbing it in, rubbing it in. Um, 446 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: I do think that there's a chance that that the 447 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: Week eight team game, you know, is the division is 448 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: not on the line, that the Ravens don't play all 449 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: the guys. I think that there's potential for that. I mean, 450 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, the Lamar Jackson factor is the biggest unknown. 451 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: Obviously is he gonna be when is he going to 452 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: be back it? Could he play this week? Um, if 453 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 1: there's any basically like, if there's if it's on the 454 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: fence and the game doesn't mean anything that you rest him, 455 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: like you don't say, like you know, it would be tough, 456 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: but he could maybe go. Like if that's the case, 457 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: you just say, be ready for the playoffs. I think 458 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: we've said before it would be ideal that if he 459 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: plays a little bit before you get to the playoffs, 460 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: um and gets rolling and gets you know, gets back 461 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: into a groove. He's gonna be rusty. You know, it's 462 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: not We'll have played for a month and a half, 463 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: so it would it would be nice. But I think 464 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: that if this game is not for the division, that 465 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: may end up being a situation where the Ravens, you know, 466 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: play safe with him and maybe and maybe other guys 467 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: as well, like does Mark and Andrews play I don't know. Now, 468 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: I think I think if the if the Bengals win tonight, 469 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: what I'd really like to see is Lamar still practice 470 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: this week. Let's get a full week of practice, Let's 471 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: get some reps and try to get that offense, offense 472 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: feeling good with Lamar in practice. I don't necessarily need 473 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: to see him in the game, you know, I agree 474 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: with that. It's almost like preseason preparation. We'll get reps 475 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: in practice, Yeah, we'll also you know, the other factor 476 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: here is the seating. And I don't know if this 477 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: would impact whether you make decisions to play guys or 478 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: not play guys, But from a seating standpoint, the Ravens 479 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: could be in a spot that's it's really interesting. Well, 480 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: right now they're right now, they're in the six they're 481 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: in the sixth, so they would be going back to 482 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: Cincinnati the next week. You know. So, so this is 483 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: basically it's like Cincinnati Cincinnati if if it plays out 484 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: this way, um, and so then I think it's Or 485 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: or Buffalo or terms of getting one top to see, 486 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: that's that's a good point. Good point, um, But it's 487 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: kind of an interesting conversation in terms of, well, now 488 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: what I'm thinking about this, if Cincinnati beats Buffalo, then 489 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: Cincinnati would be in position to get the two and 490 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: maybe even the one. Right, That's what I'm not sure anyway, 491 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: what I what I was gonna say is like I'll 492 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: just be curious because the Bengals maybe in a spot where, 493 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, that week a teen game, 494 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: if it's not for the division, I wonder if the 495 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: game clans really on both sides become really conservative because 496 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna see other in the next week potentially. You know, 497 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: how does that affect things if you know, well, there's 498 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: a decent chance that we end up playing these guys 499 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: again next week. Also for the Bengals, if they're playing 500 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: for a one seed potentially, then you know they're gonna 501 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: try to They're gonna play everybody and try to win 502 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: that game. Certainly, so as as of right now, just 503 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: looking it up, Yeah, if the Bengals beat the Bills, 504 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: they will both be twelve and four, and the Bengals 505 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: will have the head to head tiebreakers. So you're looking 506 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: at a trip to Buffalo in the first round of 507 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yike, yikes, yikes, yikes. Don't like it? Yeah, yeah, 508 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: don't don't like And I think that, like going back 509 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 1: to my point at the at the top here, beyond 510 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: just the frustration with with like that game, I just 511 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: think all that's all. This stuff is part of the 512 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: is kind of the factor of the feeling that's out 513 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: there right now and the disappointment. It's like, uh, you 514 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: know this team has had the same issues over the 515 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: course of the year. Now you could be going and 516 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: playing buffalover since in the first round. The whole premise 517 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: here is and and you know, you know, we have 518 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: a good email here from Christopher George who says, I 519 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: know you're gonna get a lot of negative emails tonight, 520 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: but we need to remember we're still in the dance. 521 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: Whether we get a chance to play for the division 522 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: next week or not. We are still in the playoffs. 523 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: Good perspective from Chris, and I agree with that. I'm 524 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: a getting the dance guy. But the other half of 525 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: that conversation is you're getting the dance and you get hot. 526 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: There's not much there's there's you know, the Ravens, Like, 527 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: let's not pretend the Ravens are all of a sudden 528 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: like broken. They are what they are. The defense was 529 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: still you know, they as we as we talked about 530 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: they got run on too much, right, But I'm not 531 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: sitting here saying this defense is is done and it's 532 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: no good all that right, They still have good defense. 533 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: They can still run the ball. They didn't in some 534 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: critical situations. But like I also still think they're going 535 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: to run the ball. I think they'll run the ball better, 536 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: even better once Lamar Jackson's on the field and you 537 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: have more of a threat, like when they're if the Steeler, 538 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: If Lamar Jackson's under center and the Steelers are going 539 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 1: to crash those outside linebackers into the backfield, Lamar Jackson's 540 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: gonna pool one of those and whip around and run 541 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: around the edge on you. Right, And and Snoop certainly 542 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: is a mobile guy, but like he's not Lamar as 543 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: a runner, right, So like they'll run the ball better. 544 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: We talked about the passing offense getting better with Lamar, 545 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: which it will. They'll also run the ball better because 546 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: of the threat that he presents with his legs. He's 547 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: maybe the best runner, right. And so you know, I'm 548 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and pretend like the Ravens are 549 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: broken and that they there's no way that they can stand, 550 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, go to Buffalo and win in the first 551 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: round of playoffs or whatever. But like you're running out 552 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: of time to get hot. You're running out of time 553 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: too for that to happen. We can all say in theory, yeah, 554 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: it work. You know, it's gonna work. It's gonna it's 555 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. But like I haven't seen Lamar on 556 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: the practice field and in three weeks, you know, and 557 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: and like you gotta see, you gotta make it happen, 558 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: you know, And so like I think it's just I 559 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: don't think they're that far off. I still think the 560 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: formula ken win if they execute the formula. But there's 561 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: just not much room for air in the formula. That's 562 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: really the thing. You know. The offense isn't scoring enough 563 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: points to give the defense much room for there for air. 564 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: The offense doesn't have much room for air because it 565 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: lacks explosi in this and consistency in the passing game. 566 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: So if you're not running the ball consistently, then you're 567 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, punning the ball, and so like, just across 568 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: the board right now, this team is kind of living 569 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: on the margin, right and you're gonna win some of 570 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: those close games and you're gonna lose some of them, 571 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: and so um, that's just not like the place that 572 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: you really want to be going into the playoffs to say, yeah, man, 573 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: we're starting to click, We're starting to click across the board. 574 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel like that. I'm all about getting 575 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: into the dance. I just would like to stick around 576 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: for a few songs. And let's be honest, scary, you're 577 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: not a let's be honest. You're you're a wall just 578 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: a wallflower. You were just hanging on the side. Please, 579 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: nobody asked me to dance. Oh god, she's coming my way. 580 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: Oh god, I'm doing I'm doing the sprinkler in the 581 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: middle of the circle at the wheel. Actually, I could 582 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: picture you'd being that guy. They're like, oh man, we're 583 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: still breaking that out. All right, let's a break here, 584 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 1: and about my dad saying I want listeners to know 585 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: the sports landscape is always changing.

You assemble a lineup 590 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: of players, try to stand out the salary cap, and 591 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: then you sit back and you watch your points pile up. 592 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: Now you know how to play down to the Draft 593 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: Kings app today, sign up using the code flock.

And 598 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: that's the thing here, Like it's as disappointing as that 599 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: loss is, and and it was like, I'm not hiding 600 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: from that. You had a chance to knock the Steelers 601 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. You had a chance to maintain 602 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: control of your own destiny. It was an awesome experience 603 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: at MT BG Stadium, Like that stadium was was electric 604 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: last night, you know that the lights and everything like, 605 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: it was just an awesome atmosphere. And I hate when 606 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: you have that and then like and then the result 607 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: is what it was last night, just disappointing. So all 608 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: that stuff stinks. However, if the Bengals lose tonight against Buffalo, 609 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: which is certainly a very real possibility, probably a coin 610 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: flip um, then the Ravens can still win the division, 611 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: and then you like then a home player, all this stuff, 612 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, So it's disappointing as all that is. 613 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 1: It may not matter, truthfully, it may not actually end 614 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: up mattering. So hopefully that's that's we'll we'll see, we'll see, 615 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: but hopefully that's the case, and the Ravens end up 616 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: going to Cincinnati next week with the chance to win 617 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: and win the division and and then maybe the Mare 618 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: comes back and then all of a sudden, all the 619 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: things that you're talking about in terms of getting hot 620 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: and feeling good going into the playoffs, then that can 621 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: become a reality. So and like the other going back 622 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: to the question about would you rest guys if Lamar 623 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: doesn't play this week, The thing about the going into 624 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs is like it's just an unknown. It's like, 625 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: all right, well, Lamar hasn't played in a month and 626 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: a half. Um, the offense has been shaky, but he's 627 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: coming back, so it kind of works in both. It's 628 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: like it's just this unknown, like you don't have time 629 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: to get hot, you haven't seen it. But like there 630 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: is also this hey, Lamar's back, that that that can 631 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: energize the team and provide a boost to this offense. Yep, 632 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: before we wrap up, let's just you know, in the 633 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: in the spirit of turning around, Okay, let's just end 634 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: with some of the good things that happened in this game. Okay, 635 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, maybe this will help us all feel marginally 636 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: better coming out of this pod. I thought Tyler Huntley 637 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: played a better game than he has the past couple 638 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: of weeks. Thought he was more efficient, especially early on 639 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: the first half. Tell you was throwing the ball. I don't. 640 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: I wonder how much like his shoulder tendonitis, you know 641 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: that Adam sitting out practice once or twice. I wonder 642 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: just how much that was bothered him. He seemed to 643 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: be throwing the ball a little bit better. Uh, fo 644 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: one touchdown then the obviously the game ending interception. But 645 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: I thought he played a better game. Yeah, like that interception, 646 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean that's desperation mode. Yeah, that's 647 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: desperation mode. Um. J K. Dobbins continues to look stronger 648 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: every game. Dude is running the running really well, really 649 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: excited from what we see from j K. Mark Andrews 650 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: and just a little just a quick note on JK, um, 651 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: this is a plug you know here. If you haven't 652 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: listened to the episode with him last week, go back 653 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: and check it out. Like I had a lot of 654 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: people say something to me about that episode, and it 655 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: was impressed with j K and how open he was 656 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: um talking about the injury, the difficulty of coming back 657 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: from it, not only the physical side, but also also 658 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: the mental side and kind of thoughts of him are 659 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: ever going to be the same player? You know, there's 660 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: a lot that went into that injury, and it was 661 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: it was very severe. Um. So I love what I'm 662 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: seeing from j K on the field and his attitude 663 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: as well. So go that episode. I think gives you 664 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of insight into who he is and 665 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: and what's driving him right now. Yep, as we said, 666 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,479 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews back to beast mode hundred yards and and 667 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: one thing we haven't brought up yet that I think 668 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: deserves to be talked about a little bit is you know, 669 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: the run defense struggled, but I thought the secondary played 670 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: a pretty darn good game. You know, Brandon Stevens made 671 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: some plays, broke up the end zone, shot to George 672 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: Pickens on the Steelers first drive. I think him stepping in, 673 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, for Marcus Peters, he has done a good job. 674 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: Another friend of the Lounge, go back and listen to 675 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: Brandon Stevens episode of the Lounge. That was a good 676 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: one too. I thought Chuck Chuck Clark had a good game, 677 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: uh in coverage. Like overall, I think the secondary played 678 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: a pretty strong game. Um so I think that deserves 679 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: mentioning as well. And then obviously when they get Marcus 680 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: Peters and plays camp back on the field, which I 681 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: think should be very soon, uh, then you know this 682 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: defense is even is even better. So anyway, we'll leave 683 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: you with that positivity. Thank you this episode, Thank you 684 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: for listening.
