Calais Campbell is here for this game. They're 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: set up for it. I mean, they built this team 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: to win, and they built it to win. Right now, 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 1: you mentioned Lamar Jackson. You know if you were a 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator or a head coach again, you know, would 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: you be having nightmares trying to a game plan for 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: this guy.

Where 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: he did it by letting Lamar do his thing.

Rex, I gotta start here 69 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: so I have a great memory with you. I unfortunately 70 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: came to the Ravens in two thousand nine and you 71 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: had already left to go up to New York. But 72 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: then you came back right and this is this is 73 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: my memory. You came back not for a football game first, 74 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: but for a softball tournament. And I'll never forget, right, Yeah, yeah, 75 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: I'll never forget your jersey, which was you were number 76 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: one and then the name on it was defense. So 77 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: you just you had to just come in talking smack, 78 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: and I was just laughing so hard. I thought it 79 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: was so funn You remember that softballs are, right though? Yeah, absolutely, 80 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: because it's funny because we're you know, we're always number 81 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: one or two in defense. When I was there in Baltimore, 82 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: and and then I inherited a defense that was twenty 83 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: three in the league, and we went to number one 84 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: in the league. So I wanted everybody to know it. Now, 85 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: I don't think you finished number one in the softball tourny. No, 86 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: my team stuck. I don't think we want a game, 87 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, that was that was That was 88 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: pretty fun. It was It was a great time. And 89 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's so many people in Baltimore there manage 90 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: that that I just love and respected, and uh, always 91 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: had a good time with him though, for sure. For sure. Man, Well, 92 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: we're really thrilled to have you on the podcast, and 93 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: and you know, obviously we want to start with this 94 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: playoff game, and uh, just you know, what do you 95 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: think it's gonna take for the Ravens to beat the Titans? 96 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: And this one, you know, you're talking about defense. Here's 97 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: the Titans team that's kind of lightening it up on 98 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: offense right now. Yeah, they're definitely lightening it up on offense. Um, 99 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, and it's all it's with that Derrick Henry 100 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: and then the play action game. And the thing that 101 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: I noticed about about Baltimore is, look, Baltimore will beat 102 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: up on on the week sisters in the league, they'll 103 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: beat the They all flat out bully you. But if 104 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna beat Baltimore, you're gonna have to come in 105 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: and do some bully in yourself. And this team, it's weird. 106 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: This team has done that the last two times they 107 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: played Baltimore. Obviously in the playoff game in earlier this 108 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: year that was kind of the case. So to me, man, 109 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: there's no way in heck that team's gonna bully Baltimore 110 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: three straight games and he's just gonna it just gotten't happen. Um, 111 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be, you know, it's um. Here, here's 112 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: the other thing, the two linemen. Here's the great day 113 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: about Baltimore and all the years I was there, if 114 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: we didn't you know, if we needed something, we went 115 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 1: out and got it. That was Ozzy News. Eric Decas 116 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: is doing the same thing as the GM there now, 117 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: and when I look at it, it's like, Okay, we 118 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,119 Speaker 1: just got the ball run down our throat and that 119 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: that playoff game against Tennessee, that's not gonna happen again. 120 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: So what did they do? They bring in Kalaias Campbell, 121 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: made no mistake by it. Kalaias Campbell is here for 122 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: this game. They brought him in here. Look, we know 123 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: he's a great player, a great person, great leader, but 124 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: he's brought in to win this type of game. And 125 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: that's why Kalaias is there. And don't forget now, Williams 126 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: has not played in either one of those games. The 127 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: big the big nose tackles, So I think it's gonna 128 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: probably be a different outcome this this time around. Well, Rex, 129 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: I was watching on Sunday Sunday NFL Countdown and you 130 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: were talking about the Ravens just in general, and you 131 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: made the point that you feel like this team could 132 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: win it all. Has the pieces, has the makeup, they 133 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: could be a team that wins it all. Uh, And 134 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: that caught my attention. I think that called the attention 135 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: of some of your co hosts on the show. Why 136 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: do you feel that way about this team? Well, first off, 137 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: he got Lamar Jackson finally doing what Lamar does. Let 138 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: him do it. And then Greg Roman's credit, they started 139 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: putting this counter bashed scheme in which I think really 140 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: helps him. He's the best player on the field. Let 141 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: him do what he does. Let him be him, and 142 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: that's what they've done, and I think that gives him 143 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: a great chance. It's mooring a bunch of points. They're 144 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: keeping their defense fresh and when they get that ground 145 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: game going with Dobbins and uh, it's it's just you 146 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: know in Lamar Uh you know Gus Edwards and he's 147 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: still got Ingram. They don't even play him hardly. So 148 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: it's just an amazing you know, talent um, you know. 149 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: And and so I think that off sence is moving. 150 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: And then defensively, you know, on defense, this team matches 151 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: up against everybody in the league. Secondary wise, they have played, 152 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: they have played any day coverage they went back there 153 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: except against Kansas City. And when I look, remember I 154 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: mentioned what the Costa did, Well, what do we need, Well, 155 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: we gotta rush Patrick Mahomes with four guys so we 156 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: can play coverage. That's not what they've done for the 157 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: last you know, the last time they play Kansas City. 158 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: So we can't play what we always do because Patrick 159 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes kills that man coverage. So now we have to 160 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: get back to playing. We got to get there with 161 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: four guys. So who's the aty as unique in Dockway 162 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: so to me, I think it's just they're set up 163 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: for it. I mean, they built this team to win, 164 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: and they built it to win right now. And I 165 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: think that's it doesn't matter. You know, we want to 166 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: a super Bowl in two thousand, going the hard route, 167 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: you know, and that's what they gotta do here, no 168 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: reason to think they can't do it. They got the 169 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: head coach. He's gonna have his team flying, you know, 170 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: popping out of his skin. As he likes to say, 171 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: it's harps like safe. Trust me, this team will. And 172 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: I just think they're built for it. I know they're 173 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: built for it. M that's awesome. You mentioned Lamar Jackson? Uh, 174 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: you know, what do you think of his the way 175 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: he's kind of rebounded this season? Not that say that, 176 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, the first half you is bad by any 177 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: stretch of imagination, but obviously he's kind of become returns 178 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: to his m VP form the second half. What's been 179 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: the key to that? And secondly, you know, if you 180 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: were a defensive coordinator or a head coach again, you know, 181 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: would you be having nightmares trying to game plan for 182 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: this guy? No? Hell though, he'd be having nightmarespace with me. 183 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: I can assure you I'm not kid either, but that tookky. 184 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: You can watch part of it. I'll show how you 185 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: defend him a little bit on on Saturday when I 186 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: talk about the pre game. But either way, Saturday, you know, 187 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: don't be showing it Titans anything Rex. But but but 188 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: really they do a lot of good things. But Lamar 189 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: Jackson special, absolutely special. And the thing you hate is 190 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: as a defensive coach, you can have everything covered perfect 191 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: and then this kid gets out of the pocket on 192 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: you and and that's he is so dangerous. I love 193 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: watching him play. And you know, but no, I'll never 194 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: admit I've never had a nightmare covering anybody. But uh, 195 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: all right, I'll admit I might flinch a little bit. 196 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: But but he literally is. He's a special cat. There's 197 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: no question I love watching him. But I think the 198 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: key is, you know, getting out of you know, quit 199 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: making a name for yourself as coaches. Let this guy, 200 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: you know, handling when you win everybody succeeds, and get 201 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: back to doing what Lamar did. They put them They 202 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: backed themselves in a corner. They had to win five 203 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: games in a row, you know, to get in the playoffs, 204 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: where you did it by letting Lamar do his thing, 205 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: and and part of that is, yeah, you're gonna rule. 206 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: But when you have that running game going, you're creative 207 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: like that, that opens up that past game. And that's 208 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: exactly what they gotta do moving moving forward. And when 209 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: they do that, there's no reason they can't. They can't 210 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: go all the way. Are you concerned at all about 211 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's oh and tow start in the playoffs and 212 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: kind of the mentality you know when a player starts 213 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: off his career kind of you know on that foot. No, 214 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not concerned at all. I mean, they 215 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: got beat last year because their defense let him down, 216 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, Lamark Jackson. I get it. They never scored 217 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: in the red zone either, but Lamark mark was all 218 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: he did was was put up five hundred yards. When 219 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: you combine his rushing in and his passing five yards 220 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: usually pretty good. That's not that uh So, it's it's 221 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: hardly on him. But like I said, they gotta come 222 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: back in and and um you know, and and and 223 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: and play raven defense. If they'll play to that raven 224 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: defense standard that there won't this game will not be 225 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: in doubt. Rex I want to ask you about the 226 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. And for listeners who may 227 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: not know this, you guys are buddies going back a 228 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: long time. Now, he's been you know, you guys have 229 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: been good friends for a long time. Give us a story, 230 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: Give us a back in the day story about Wink 231 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: Martindale with the Ryan Brothers. Yeah, it goes back. I 232 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: was at the University of Cincinnati and we got this 233 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: big fat dude from Notre Dame at the big old 234 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: fat head and everything. Um. But quite honestly, I absolutely 235 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: love him. He is a great football coach and a 236 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: hell of a person. But he's so passionate. But we 237 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: would travel in because I I was you know, I 238 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: was the coordinator whatever. I would pick Wink up every 239 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: day and we go into work. We'd be the first 240 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: one's in, last ones out. And and that's just the 241 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: way it was for you know, for the two years 242 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: that I was there. Um, and then later we coached 243 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: five years with my brother. I think and and uh 244 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: and open with the Raiders. But yeah, we go, we go. 245 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: I mean, man, we go back a long time. And 246 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that like, here's the thing about Wink Is like, 247 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,239 Speaker 1: I have a million stories, most of them I can't tell, okay, 248 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: and I'm even gonna tell this one. I'm gonna tell 249 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: two quick ones. We would wait on on Friday's all 250 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: the teams would come into playoffs and we would wait 251 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: till they would come in, and as we were going out, 252 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: their buses were coming in. We made sure Wink and 253 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: I that we set the tone for the game, and 254 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: we did that by by waving to the opponents. We 255 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: made sure they knew we were here. Okay, And it 256 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: might have been with I don't remember how many figures 257 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: it was, but we waved to him. We let them 258 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: know we were ready to kick their butts and we did. Um. 259 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: But the other thing I'll never forget. We're coming home 260 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: one day and there was construction and man, it was 261 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: there forever, and every single time we passed these people, 262 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: nobody was working. Everybody was sitting around, nobody was working. 263 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: And we pulled up one day to him because we're 264 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: bumper the bumper. Finally they get going and Wink Is, 265 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: we got the windows rolled down and he's yelling at 266 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: at these these workers, and I'm like, I look over like, well, 267 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm amazing. Weink, what are you doing? He goes, well, 268 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: I figure if people can yell at us, we can 269 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: yell at them, so of what he did. But uh 270 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: but really, this is about as good a guy as 271 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna find. He's he's a badass, he's he relates 272 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: so well with those with with those young men that 273 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: are playing for him, and he's just good people and 274 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: and like I said, a hell of a football coach, 275 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: and in Baltimore needs to um, you know, embrace the 276 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: embrace the fact he's there now because he ain't gonna 277 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: be there for long. Because this guy deserves a head 278 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: coaching job. And uh and I'm hoping it's on on 279 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: the on the Horizon forum. Yeah, that that was gonna 280 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: be my next question. You think it's only a matter 281 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: of time until he gets one of those head coaching jobs. Yeah, 282 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: I hope, so, I really do. And And you know, look, 283 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: I I see the list of guys that are out there, 284 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: and quite honestly, I'm like, what you know, Uh, Like, 285 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: come on, this guy is a real coach. He's not 286 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: one of these. He's not a pretty boy. He's there 287 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: based on his merits as a football coach and his 288 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: intelligence and and that's what he's there for. He and 289 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: a pretty boy that's there for to look good in 290 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: your media guys. So to me, that's that's him. He's 291 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: a hell lot better. He's forgotten more football than half 292 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: these guys that are on those lists. Well, I'm gonna 293 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: tell link that you that he's not a pretty boy, 294 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: and he and his mullet are gonna be offended, Rex, 295 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I know. So he's trying to give the combination. He's 296 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: gone to my sweater vest, which by the way, he's 297 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: undefeated in. So I'm loving the sweater best that he's 298 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: going as he the Rex Ryan sweater best works well 299 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: and he's got but he's he's trying to combine my 300 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: brother's heir. So I had a good combination. It's working 301 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: for him. Uh, but I'm surprised if life Laura lets 302 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: him out like that. But uh, this is one hell 303 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: of a person and as you guys know, a heck 304 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: of a football coach. And and I know one thing, 305 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: he's shopping at the bit for this game because this 306 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith guy has done a great job. His name 307 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: has been on many lists and for good reason. He's 308 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: done a great job at Tennessee as the offensive coordinator, 309 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: and they've kind of had Baltimore's number these last two games. 310 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: But ain't gonna happen this one in my opinion. Who hey, 311 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: who blitz is more? You were winking? Oh man, that's 312 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: a good question. I'm gonna say my father blitz more. 313 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: But it's I probably blitzed. You know, I never had 314 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: these type of corners that week has. If I did, 315 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: it would have been ugly. Now. I guess the closest 316 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: thing was probably when I was with the Jets and 317 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: I nobody. He didn't have a corner like I had 318 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: with Darrell Remus. But but the uh, but he's got 319 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: an unbelievable group of corners and he can pretty much 320 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: man off any team in the league, like I said, 321 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: with the exception of Kansas City. So yeah, he's blitz 322 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: and probably about I think we're probably similar. If you 323 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: go back and look, I'm sure we are very similar. Yeah, 324 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: they're talking about coaches. You know, you worked for John 325 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: Harbaugh and uh, you know, obviously, I think the Ravens 326 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: were at a cross roads. There's six and five, going 327 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: through a COVID outbreak and all that stuff. It was 328 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: a lot of adversity. What have you seen from John 329 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: Harball and what makes him a good head coach in 330 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: times of at City especially? Yeah, first of all, John 331 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: is not a good head coach. He's a great head coach. 332 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: And and I've been with with several or whatever he's 333 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: he's about as good as it gets. Man. He's he's passionate, 334 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: beyond belief. He's got the answers and his players know it. 335 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: He's been there, he's done it, and he's got a 336 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: great like he's got a great pulse for the for 337 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: the football team. And what does he need to step 338 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: step on him? Does he need to rain him, you know, 339 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: loosen up the reins a little bit, whatever it is. 340 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: He's got a phenomenal pulse on that team. And you 341 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: know it also helps when he got a hell of 342 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback, so that helps to So so what do 343 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: you think what do you think the Ravens need to 344 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: do against Derrick Henry? I mean, you know, if you're 345 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: calling the plays against this guy, obviously everybody's trying everything. 346 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: Probably he's still run for two thousand yards this year. 347 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: What do you do to contain Derrick Henry? Yeah, you 348 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: just knocked the hell out of him. I mean, that's 349 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do. And and and that's I mean, 350 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 1: believe me, that's what you do. And you've gotta have 351 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: guys to uh beat the offensive line of the punch, 352 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, knocked there, you know, knocked their chests in, 353 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: beat into the punch and then get off blocks and 354 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: and put a bunch of idels on them. That's that's 355 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do against all those guys. Back 356 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: when I was with Baltimore, we'd have Jerome Vettis, Fred Taylor, Eddie, George, 357 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: Corey Dillon, Um, you know, the list goes on and on. 358 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: All those guys. All we did was was set a 359 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: record in in a fewest rushing yards allowed in rushing average. 360 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: And all we did was that When did you think 361 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: fancy we just beat the you know, we just fundamentally 362 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: whipped you at the line of scrimmage. That's what they 363 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: gotta do. And having Williams and Calais Campbell in there, 364 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: like I said, that's why they're there. And uh and 365 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: you lean on your big cats, and I think this 366 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: is you know, those those early guys, it might not 367 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: be pretty. They're not gonna score any touchdowns. But they're 368 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: gonna be the difference in this game. And we'll let 369 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: you out here on this Rex, it sounds to me 370 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: like you're picking a Ravens win for this week.

You're not 415 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: gonna make it to Sunday at one o'clock when there's 416 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: six football games going on over the course of two days. 417 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: So make sure to keep that in mind when you're 418 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: drinking Crown Royal this weekend. All right, So you said 419 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: you're getting a little bit nervous. Um. You know, I'm 420 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: with Rex though, Like I don't know how often he 421 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: talks to Wink. It seems like it seems like fairly often. Um. 422 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: But you know the point that he made that he 423 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: doesn't think that Ravens are gonna get pushed around. He 424 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: knows that Wink has really fired up about this game. 425 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: I just think that that is the same for you 426 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: can say that for pretty much everybody in that building, players, coaches. 427 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: I just don't think they. I just don't think they 428 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: allow themselves to lose the Titans a third straight time. 429 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: This is this is a man up game. That's like 430 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: what I took away from Rex is like that, you know, 431 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: wink and this defense. They see it as a This 432 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 1: is an integrity game, right Like this one is like 433 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: an old school Ravens Titans battle from back in the 434 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: day where it was just hard hitting, the more physical 435 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: teams gonna win. And let's be honest, the Ravens didn't 436 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: have two of their biggest, biggest, most physical players on 437 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: the field last time. You know. The Titans also didn't 438 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: have one in Roger Staffold. I do want to toss 439 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: that out there. He's a really good guard. He did 440 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: not play in the earlier matchup this season, this regular season, 441 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: but still I think Clays Campbell and Brandon Williams make 442 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: a massive difference in this game. I'm gonna I'm gonna 443 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: toss it out there, Garrett, go tell sit out there 444 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: already throwing down the gauntlet. Let's let's hear it. Derrick 445 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: Henry under under a hundred, under a hundred, all right. 446 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: I mean, teams have struggled to keep him under two 447 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: hundred this year, so IF's gonna keep him under a hundred, 448 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: it's und Wow. Yeah, I think I'm almost I'm almost 449 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: more scared right now at this very moment about Ryan 450 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: Tannehill and the play action passing and all that stuff 451 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: and hitting some plays on that than I am of 452 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry right now. And I know what two days ago, 453 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: I was talking about how nobody beats the Ravens corners, 454 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: but that, you know, Winks got me a little shook 455 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: after the Prescott. Well you so basically you've come to 456 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: my side. You've come around to me where I said 457 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: I was really scared about a J. Brown in this game. 458 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: It's not just a J. Brown. Corey Davis went for 459 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: over a hundred last night, But a J. Brown to 460 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: me is the one. If I'm started started starting the 461 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 1: conversation on who I'm most scared with is on the 462 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: edge for that team, it is going to be a J. 463 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: Brown at the top of that list. But I do 464 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: I just think that the you could say the same 465 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: thing a man up game about pretty much everybody on 466 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: this team. Certainly that rings true for the defense um. 467 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: And they did give up a huge number of yards 468 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: on the ground in the last two games, which is 469 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: so uncharacteristic for this team. But I think that I 470 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: think that Lamar Jackson wants to He talked about it 471 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: this week, silence and narrative about he can't win a 472 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: playoff game. I think he's learned from those life I 473 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: thought he was really honest, like Lamar. Yeah, he was 474 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: really kind of uh introspective, I thought in his press 475 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: conference and saying that the last two years, we fell 476 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: behind early and I try to do too much. He admitted, 477 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: I try to do too much um and that if 478 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: we get in that situation again, I just gotta play 479 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: and and not try to take on too many things 480 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: and try to score, you know, fourteen points in one play. 481 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: I thought that was a really um wise analysis of 482 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: his own play in the playoffs. I like where his 483 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: heads at right now, I really do. And Um, I 484 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: think that it's just he's been kind of beating the 485 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: drum uh the past month or so. It's just focus, focus, 486 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: just keep keep it locked in, like, because I think 487 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: that is what struck me the past couple of years. 488 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: Is it just he seemed to get rattled, he lost 489 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: his focus to me, and and and heck, like Rex said, 490 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: he ended up when there were five yards. So whatever, 491 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: if he got rattled, he still was putting up yards. 492 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: But in in some clutch moments, you know, yards are 493 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: great or whatever, but we need some touchdowns in the 494 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: red zone. You know, you convert on a couple of 495 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: those fourth and ones on two of them, the rains 496 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: got stuffed on. It's a whole different ballgame. So you know, 497 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: I think that sometimes Lamar he wants it so bad 498 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: that when it's not coming to fruition, he he seemed 499 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: to kind of get rattled. And and I just think 500 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: that the position he's in right now, I think he's 501 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: in a better headspace. Yeah, And I just think that. 502 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: You know, one thing that was such a big talking 503 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: point last year, and it's understandable when you go fourteen 504 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: and two and you're kind of blowing everybody out, is 505 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: it seemed like there was so much Super Bowl talk 506 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: and that was where the Ravens wanted to go, and 507 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: obviously every team wants to go there. That hasn't changed, 508 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: but it seems like this year it's not super Bowl 509 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: super Bowl, super Bowl super Bowl, it's Titans this week. 510 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: This week, take care of business this week. And I 511 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: think that you know, again experience learning from difficult games. 512 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: And you know, John Harbor I talked to you know, 513 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: I talked to him today about it, and he basically said, 514 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: and he's used this before, but he said, one of 515 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: his coaching mentors told him, either win or you learned. 516 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: And I think that the Ravens learned from their last 517 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: two playoff experiences and I think that it will serve 518 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: them well this year. Yeah. I think I think going 519 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: into a revenge game was the perfect way to keep 520 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: the focus on this game, you know what I mean. 521 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: Like if it were the Colts and or or somebody else, 522 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: the Bills or something like that, like it would have 523 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: been I think a different mentality. Um. So, I love 524 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: the way the table is starting to set, you know. 525 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: And uh, hey man, I'm not going to argue with 526 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan that I think the Ravens absolutely have what 527 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: it takes to not only beat the Tennessee Titans, but 528 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: to win it all. Oh. I like it. I'm going 529 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: one game at a time. I'm sticking to the one 530 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: game and that's to have focus. Uh. And I think 531 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens like I said earlier this week, I think 532 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: it's a victory for Baltimore, and I think it is 533 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: a double digit win. I'm sticking by that. Do I 534 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: go with the big win You've already don Do you 535 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: do it twice? Yeah? But I feel like if I 536 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: don't do it and when we lose, that might be 537 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: a jinx, that might be a curse. M you know 538 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: what I mean? What do you think on this? I 539 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: think you gotta trust your instincts on this win. I 540 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: gotta go with your gut. Thanks for listening, everybody,
