1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge, presented by DraftKings. It's a size

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: of up. Proud. Oh yeah, this is this is a

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: true This one actually feels like a size of up.

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: After the Ravens beat the Bucks twenty two with a

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: dominant second half on Thursday Night football. I mean this one,

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: you know the size of up. You take any size

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: of up, right, I'm always sizing them up after every win, right,

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: But the Browns one, you know, it wasn't it didn't

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: feel deep down like a size of up Monday. This one,

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: this one, I mean, I know the Buccaneers have now

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: lost three in a row, but at their place on

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football, you know, the Mark Andrews or Sha

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Bateman go down, Gus Edwards goes down, and you just roll,

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: just roll them in the second half. This one feels

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: kind of like a size of up. Yeah, whenever you

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: went on prime Time, it all like the ring gets

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: a little bigger, you know, the size fitting just starts

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: to become a little bit clearer because everyone's watching, and

19
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: you know primetime games are usually going up against good opponents,

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: so add that to the mix too. And yeah, well,

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: except for all the other Thursday Night I think I

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: think that, like, yes, the Bucks are a team that

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: like is not they don't seem to be very good

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: this year, but this was a season on the line

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: game for them in a lot of ways, Like this

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: is a crossroads type game. They're at home, they've lost

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: a couple straight. They they are coming off a really

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: bad loss against Carolina, Like this had all the feelings of, Okay,

29
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady really gonna lose another one? Like is

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: he really in his potentially last season kind of gonna

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: fade off? And the Ravens just controlled the second half

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: of that game, and early on certainly, you know, if

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: we were doing this podcast as the inst reaction at

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: half time would be a very from conversation. But that's

35
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: why they played four quarters trying it's a four quarter game,

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: it's not a two quarter game. And the Ravens controlled

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: the second half. Good overall defense is showing across the board,

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: not you know, the entire game. And then the offense

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: leaned on the run game and turned crank it up

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: in the second half. And we'll get into all of it.

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: It's a size them up Friday. Yeah, I mean, kind

42
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: of to your point about the Bucks, it felt like

43
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: it was a get right game for the Bucks, and

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: then it turned out to be a get right game

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, you know, because you know, the Ravens

46
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: entered the game four and three and in first place

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: the NFC North. But like we all saw that there

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: were issues kind of simmering, right, Like the offense just

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: seemed frustrated. Lamar Jackson seemed frustrated the past couple of weeks,

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, certainly with the inability to score touchdowns in

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: the red zone. You know, there was like the whole thing,

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, not closing out games. Like even though they

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: beat the Browns, they kind of survived the Browns right

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: blockfield goal really to win it after coming very close

55
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: to blowing another fourth quarter lead, temple lead. So you

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: hadn't stepped on anybody's throats, right, and so like there's

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: all these kind of lingering things that you felt like

58
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: even though the Ravens were four and three, they had

59
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: kind of not played up to their potential yet, right,

60
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: and that there were these issues, and it turned out

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: I just feel like coming out of this game, this

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: was the win the Ravens needed, right and and really

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: that was like the half. It wasn't a full game.

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: But that was the half of football that they needed,

65
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: where the offense is just rolling right, three straight touchdown

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: drives despite missing you know, your top weapons, Like we mentioned,

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: the defense is closing them out, getting after Brady, playing

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: really well on the defensive side of the ball. Like

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: both both sides of the ball kind of come together

70
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: at the right time for the first time together, playing

71
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: both the playing well at the same time, and like

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: you just kind of cast off the red zone troubles,

73
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, they Like I said, three straight touchdown drives,

74
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: you close out an opponent and bonus it's Tom Brady. Uh,

75
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: you know it. Just to me, you get a big

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: road win, which is always a huge momentum builder. I

77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: think to me, it was a get right game in

78
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: a lot of ways for this offense and for this

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: entire team. Yeah, I'm with you. Second half. Here here's

80
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: the drives for the Ravens. Nine place, seventy seven yards touchdown, alright,

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: not bad. Eleven plays, eighty yards touchdown, okay, that third

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: third in a road nine plays, a three yards touchdown,

83
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: then five place forty nine yards field goal, which made

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: it a two score game, and it was a fourth

85
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: down by the way, I thought it was pretty funny

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: on that fourth and one that they ended up kicking

87
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: a field goal on there to make it at that

88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: point in eleven point game. And and like it's right

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: around the two minute warning and the offense is kind

90
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: of lingering out there, and given the way that the

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: Ravens have gone forward so much, I'm kind of like, wait, no, no, right,

92
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: you're not you can end it, but you can kind

93
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: of end up by just kicking the field goal, no right.

94
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: And John Harmon did. He was asked about that after

95
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: the game and he was like, no, that was an

96
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: easy one. He's like, I know, I probably scared to fans.

97
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: You know. We thought about maybe trying to draw the

98
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: drama off side or something like that, but we just

99
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal. So I'll admit I was like, no,

100
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: just kick it, Just kick it? What are you doing?

101
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: I like I Also I also like John's story about

102
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: the fan who he shake hands with. What was it

103
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: before the game? When I guess it was before the

104
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: game coming out to the field. The guy just all

105
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: the guys said was just kicking. So so so that's

106
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: that's the fourth drive, and then the fifth drive, the best,

107
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: the best drive in football to kneel downs. Game over.

108
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: So that's your second half right there. I mean for

109
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: the I mean I think for the first time really

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: all season, maybe the Jets game was this way that

111
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens fans could kind of get the

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, the seven Nation Army chamt going, you know,

113
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: you could you could really kind of feel good kind

114
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: of dancing. And you heard him, you know, at Raven

115
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: James like they were they were rocking and rolling. It

116
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: was really good somethin they You can just see even

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: even only the postgame coverage on the Amazon Prime postgame coverage,

118
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: it was like look like a home game, Like there

119
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: was still a massive crowd around the Amazon Prime set

120
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: when players were coming out there for interviews. It was

121
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: Ravens fans travel well, especially when you get to you

122
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: might go down to Florida, um for a night. Yeah,

123
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: my cousin nephew travel. They made the trip down there.

124
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: My my, my nephew got several pairs. He was getting

125
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: hooked up. I love it. Yeah. Yeah. So all right,

126
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: let's let's jump into an email here real quick, Garrett,

127
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: before we move on. This one comes from Christopher Welles,

128
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: and he says, halftime adjustments were huge. That's the subject, right,

129
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: he says. I think we're gonna have to start a

130
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: new tradition. I've had my lounge T shirt on under

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: my jersey the last two wins. Gotta keep it going.

132
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: I love it, Christopher, that's awesome, uh says a few

133
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: notes from him. Love the halftime adjustments on office. It's

134
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: really great to see the run game get going, which

135
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: opened up some holes for key passes for Lamar two.

136
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: The offensive line was really solid, especially in the second half.

137
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 1: Linder Bomb got to the second level a few times

138
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: for key blocks. I will add to that to Morgan Moses,

139
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: I thought had a really strong game, among others. Um

140
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Number three justin Houston is a beast turning back time.

141
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Number four defense was bringing the heat. Love the different

142
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: concepts on pass for us and seeing how the secondary

143
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: held up in the back end. And number five hoping

144
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: we can use this long break to get healthy. Suck

145
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: to see several guys go out hurt. Big win. Thanks Chris.

146
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Appreciate the email as always, so once that leads us

147
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: into a conversation here about the halftime adjustments. Right, and

148
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: so the Ravens come out and they were passed heavy

149
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: from the jump right, two straight pass of the Mark

150
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: Andrews to begin the game. They're trying to force the

151
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: ball into Mark Andrews every chancing um, you know, and

152
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: and it wasn't really working. You know. Lamar through thirty

153
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: passes in the first half, which I think is season

154
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: high was thirty two passes for a game. Thirty passes

155
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: in the first half. Right. And then the second half

156
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: they come out and they run the ball for over

157
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: two yards, right, and I think Lamar Threw attempted what

158
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: eight passes I think in the second half. Yeah, eight

159
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: passes in the second half. Right. So a lot of

160
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: people in the postgame coverage and and everything, you know, saying,

161
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: all right, the Ravens made these adjustments at halftime, they

162
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: got back to who they are. Well, the interesting thing

163
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: about that is John Harball said it wasn't halftime adjustments, right,

164
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: This was the plan going into the game. It wasn't

165
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: like they had changed the plan at halftime. The plan

166
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: going into the game, according to John Harball, was that

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: they were going to go pass very past heavy in

168
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: the first half, and the thinking and then run heavy

169
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: in the second half. And the logic, the reasoning behind

170
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: that was, Hey, you're on Thursday night football, right, so

171
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: everybody's already kind of tired, right, and you're gonna get

172
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: and players are just gonna get even more tired in

173
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: the second half, right with a short turnaround. His thought was,

174
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: it's it wears out a defense more just running around

175
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: like a defensive line to be throwing the ball all

176
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: over the yard, right, it's just more it's just more

177
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: chasing involved. Right, there's more physical stopping the run and

178
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: having the whatever gang tackle and do all that stuff

179
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: with your your linebackers in your line. Yeah, that's that

180
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: takes you know, conventional thought is you would to wear

181
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: somebody down run on them, right. Well, actually, like if

182
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: you want to tire somebody out. And it was interesting

183
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: some Joe Banner former I think GM of the Eagles, right,

184
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: tweeted this and he said, you know, most coaches still

185
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: don't admit that throwing is the better way to tire

186
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: out a defensive line than running if that's your goal.

187
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: He said, he's one of the many false narratives around

188
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: the league that people believe in. So, you know, John,

189
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: that was the Ravens thought process going in was we're

190
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna throw it around all over the place and just

191
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: make them run and chase us. And then they thought

192
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: they would have good success, especially considering the Bucks, you know,

193
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of key injuries, three key injuries in

194
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: their secondary. They felt like they could attack them through

195
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: the air, right, and then the second half, once they're tired,

196
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: and if there's a night football, I can mention, then

197
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: you run all over them once they're tired, and you

198
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: just stretch runs everything, everything's popping. So that part worked, right,

199
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: And so I thought that was really interesting, Like that

200
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: was something that you know, I hadn't really I hadn't

201
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: realized until John said it, and I was curious, you know,

202
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: why the stark differences first half the second half? And

203
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: I thought that was an interesting strategy going in. Yeah,

204
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: it was. It was interesting, and you know, the thought

205
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: process was, you know, when you hear you're like, okay

206
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: that that. You know, the conventional thought is, you got

207
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: in the locker room, you hashed it out, and you

208
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: decided we're gonna come out and be a run heavy

209
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: team in the second half. You know, that was kind

210
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: of the line of questioning, right, you get back to

211
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: who you are, what you do best. We heard that all.

212
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: I did think there's probably an element of that, you know,

213
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: like you can say this is a game plan, but

214
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: if you'd come out in the second half the run

215
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: game wasn't working, then obviously you would adjust, you know.

216
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: So like I do think it's probably both, Like you

217
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: could have this game plan and you can said we're

218
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna pass heavy, we're we're and then we're gonna and

219
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: then they're gonna be worn down in the second half

220
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna pound pam pund pound pound. You know,

221
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: it worked, and you know, Isaiah likely also said that,

222
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: you know, like Morgan Moses is yelling on the sidelines

223
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: and one humph. We talked about it too, to run

224
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: the ball um and so I think that there was

225
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: definitely a sense like it's time to run the football.

226
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: So and then when you saw how much success you

227
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: were having three straight touchdown drives and you're just picking

228
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: up chunks on chunks and chunks, I think then you're like, Okay,

229
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna stick with this. And I did think

230
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: it was interesting too along those lines. You know, Kirk

231
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: kerp Street, the analyst, made several mentions over the course

232
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: of the night about like Greg Roman scheme wearing down

233
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: Tampa's defense, and he kept going back to it, which

234
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: made me think, Okay, maybe he got something in the

235
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: production meeting of you know that talking about this game

236
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: plan approach, or maybe he's just seeing what's happening and

237
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: he's just calling it like he sees it and just

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: and is looking at their defense and looking like they

239
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: worn down and watching the Ravens pick up big yards

240
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: on the ground and just absolutely control of the second half.

241
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Both could be true. There were a lot there are

242
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: a lot of props for Greg Roman other than just

243
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: wearing him down. I mean, there was a lot of like, oh,

244
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: look at how this was scheming up to help get

245
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, give Lamar a clean window like this, This

246
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: was schemed up really well for Lamar. Right. There were

247
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: several comments about that a lot. I mean it actually

248
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: actually followed up on it again today. I mean he

249
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: tweeted about it today. Um, you know, just talking about

250
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: Greg Roman and Lamar Jackson. Here was exactly what he said.

251
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed calling the game last night in Tampa.

252
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: Ravens had a dangerous football team. It was good to

253
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: call another one of Lamar Jackson's games. He continues to

254
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: climb to new heights. And I love how Greg Roman

255
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: utilizes his skills. It's incredible to watch team to watch

256
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: as the year goes on. Yep, yeah, I mean, look,

257
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of listeners probably out there and

258
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: and of course on Twitter, and you see it right

259
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: the the frustration maybe is the right word. I don't

260
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: know what the right word is for with Greg Roman.

261
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: Um and I and hey man, I've I've had many

262
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: Twitter people get mad at me for for sticking up

263
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: for the guy. I'm gonna believe. I'm a believer. I

264
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: think that Greg Roman builds an offense that works best

265
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: for the Ravens and for Lamar Jackson. That's what I believe.

266
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: And and I mean, you know, if if you want to,

267
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: if you want to see the Ravens spread it out

268
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: and throw the ball to all over the field to

269
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: win games, while we saw that in the first half

270
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: and didn't really work that well, you know, and you know,

271
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: you can go sit, well, the he needs better wide

272
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: receivers to do that, and you can go down that

273
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: whole path. You know what I think. I think the

274
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: Ravens offense. I think Lamar is a is a great passer.

275
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: I think he's also a great runner, and you utilize both, right,

276
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: the best offense is gonna capitalize on both those. And

277
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: what makes him truly unique is his running ability, and uh,

278
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: you utilize that, you build around that, and I think

279
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: the Ravens do a good job of that. I just do. Yeah, yeah, Look,

280
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: I think this this offense, it's like we were saying

281
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: at the start of this thing, it's to tell two halves,

282
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: and if if we were doing the podcast at halftime,

283
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: there was a much different tone. But but but you

284
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: look at the whole you look at the whole package

285
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: um and the way that the Ravens were able to

286
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: dominate the game of the second half, and I think

287
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: that those results are married the what the approach that

288
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens took in the first half led to the

289
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: success in the second half. In part. The other thing, too,

290
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: is like that as we're talking about this, I don't

291
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: think that we can we're you know, we're fifteen minutes

292
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: in here, and we didn't even really mention the fact,

293
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: which I think is a huge thing that we need

294
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: to mention. And I do think this probably pay played

295
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: a part in such the run the run heavy approach.

296
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: In the second half, Mark Andrew's goes out with a

297
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. Risha Bateman basically didn't even play. I mean

298
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: he played a little bit in the first half and

299
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: he had that one steam rout down on the sidelines

300
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: which wasn't close, and then he was done for the

301
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: rest of the game, dealing with the foot issue that's

302
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: cost him two games. Playing on the short week, just

303
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: couldn't get right, you know, so he barely played. So

304
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: basically you're you're down your top two targets. Bateman had

305
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: thirteen snaps, Mark Andrews had ten, so not exactly like

306
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: what you want if you're gonna be airing it out.

307
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: That's you don't want those two guys on on the shelf.

308
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: So I think that probably paid played a role in

309
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: the game plan that the Ravens took in the second half.

310
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, like you're not believing John Harballs,

311
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: this is the plan going in argument, that's what you

312
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: sound like. No, no, I I do believe that. But

313
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: I think that like you can have a plan going

314
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: in and then the result the game dictates how that

315
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: plan plays out, Like oh yeah, sure, they weren't gonna

316
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: abandon the plan when it's working. Like it's like, I'm

317
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: sure that like the plan wasn't let's be that's that's

318
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: let's have the score me tenth three at halftime, as

319
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: John Harball said, like they expected more than three points

320
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: out of the first half. Exactly. It didn't pan out. Right.

321
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: They stubbed their toe in the red zone twice. You know,

322
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: they went for it on fourth down when Lamar like

323
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: pleaded to go for it, and they didn't get it. Uh,

324
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, they wanted more points out of the

325
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: first half plan, but I don't think I believe them

326
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: that the second half plan that was what they envisioned

327
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: the whole time. Yeah, maybe maybe maybe if they had

328
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: been Lamar Jackson had three passing yards in the first half,

329
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like they would have said, like,

330
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: all right, maybe, well we'll keep this is working pretty well,

331
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: We'll keep throwing it. We'll mix in more runs, but

332
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep throwing it, which they did. It's not

333
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: like they, you know, Lamar Jackson hit some key pass

334
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: in the second half, like the runs set up the

335
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: pass and well the big player, I mean, yes, I look,

336
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying I agree with with I'm not doubting this

337
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: was the game plan, but the results I think then

338
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: dictated how how far you carried that game plan. And

339
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: also players that are available dictate that. And one of

340
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: the players who was obviously available had a big night

341
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: for the Ravens is the rookie Isaiah Likely. And this

342
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: is like, is this the preseason game? This is looking

343
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: like that game in Arizona where he just dominated the

344
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: every single uh you know, he caught every single ball

345
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: down the field and then capped it off with the touchdown.

346
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Email here, Yeah, the email from Owen Likely, I know,

347
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: it's just perfect. Owen is a is a regular emailer

348
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: to the Lounge, and his brother Isaiah had a big night.

349
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: He says after tonight's big prime time win, it's clear

350
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: that my boy number eighty is back in preseason four.

351
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: With the injury to Andrews as well as the other

352
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: starters like Batman and Edwards, do you think we'll have

353
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: more players like Likely step up to take advantage? Will

354
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: the front office be looking to trade for some extra

355
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: bodies to fill in the gaps? Let me know your

356
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: thoughts and has always keep up the awesome work. All

357
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: the best Owen the other Likely well in terms of

358
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: the other guys stepping up, Like, yeah, Likely's emergence was

359
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: really big. The Ravens needed it, They needed somebody in

360
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: the passing game to elevate. And the other one who

361
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: we should mention DeMarcus Robinson stepped up Like there really

362
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: wasn't much happening in the first half and de Marcus

363
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: Robinson made a few plays happen uh in the pretty

364
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: big day for him. So um yeah, I think that

365
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: like a common theme after the game. Pretty much everyone

366
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: said it team win, team win, full team win. Everyone

367
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: got involved, and I really kind of think that's the case.

368
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Owen likely has a big day. Listener Isaiah, Yeah, it

369
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: was a big day for both. Isaia likely has a

370
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: big day. To Marcus Robinson has a big day. Kenyan

371
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: Drake Uh finds the end zone. Devin DuVernay scores on

372
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: an end around, Um Tyler Linder Bomb is a dominant blocker,

373
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: Pancake and Devin White fifteen yards down the field, you know,

374
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: like there's lots of Prochet made three grabs. You know,

375
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: Justice Hill had a few couple good runs there down

376
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: the stretch after Gus went down and Justice had some

377
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: nice hard running to kind of help close out that game. Yeah,

378
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: like everyone got in on the action, um, and you

379
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: can go through the defense as well. So I mean

380
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: that always feels really good. And I think that was

381
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: kind of to my point at the top right of

382
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: like this this win kind of easing some of the

383
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: turmoil some of the bad feelings is Like, you know,

384
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: I think coming out of the Browns game, it was

385
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: like you need somebody other than Mark Andrews, Like it

386
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: can't just be like we're just gonna we're gonna throw

387
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: every ball to Mark, right, and you have to like

388
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: trust these other playmakers. You have to trust the other

389
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: playmakers to make plays and they in turn also have

390
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: to make the plays right. Those two things go hand

391
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: in hand. And to see them get the opportunity and

392
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: take advantage of that, I think really builds a lot

393
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: of confidence not just in the players who are making it,

394
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: but also in the march a and that like you

395
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: know what, like I don't have to force this ball

396
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: to Mark. I can trust that this guy is gonna

397
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: make a play for me, right, And like when you

398
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: get that going on and that, then the offense is

399
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: really all feeling good about the role that they play,

400
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: even if not everybody has to put up monster stats,

401
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: but like you make some some critical plays, some key

402
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: plays that that carries you, right, that that rolls forward.

403
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: And I think that that's really the feel good aspect

404
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: coming out of this game, is that everybody played their

405
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: role in the win. You know, I've I felt with

406
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: this team and look this is you know, we're feeling

407
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: the size them up Friday. So it's always like when

408
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: you're we're still on the glow of the victory, It's

409
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: it's always easy to feel this way. Ravens don't play

410
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: for eleven days. So, like, is the good feeling from

411
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: this game going to carry over the Saints game. We'll

412
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: see wilst time will tell. But I have felt with

413
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: this team that, like just just rattle off a few

414
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: get a few wins, you know, like if you just

415
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: put a couple of good things together in a row,

416
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: then then the ball is really gonna start rolling downhill.

417
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: With this team, I've really felt, Yeah, it's been like

418
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: win loss, win loss. Like I've said this the whole time.

419
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: I think this is a talented team. Like I think

420
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: this is a good team, right, they just weren't. They

421
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: were collapsing in critical situations, like they weren't getting those breaks,

422
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: they weren't making the plays, the critical plays and when

423
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: they needed to fourth downs whatever it might be, right,

424
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 1: like stubbing their tone in the red zone, Like they

425
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: were close the whole time. They were really close we've

426
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: been talking about. I mean, they could have been seven

427
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: and oh right, they only trailed by like, you know,

428
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: a minute and something in their three losses, right, Like

429
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: they've been really close and they just needed a game

430
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: or even just a half like this where they got

431
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: over the top, like they were just they couldn't quite

432
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: get over the hump all season long, through the first

433
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: seven weeks. They just kind of kept getting there, not

434
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: really and this felt like a get over the hump

435
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: moment there in the second half. Yeah, I'm with you,

436
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: I'm with you. And I think that like it also

437
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: sim learn a similar way to what the Browns game did.

438
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: I think it kind of there's like the mental side

439
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: of it where like you you kind of get the

440
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: monkey off your back to a certain extent about like

441
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: the red zone or closing out of game, finishing a

442
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: game like that stuff. I think that this kind of

443
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: alleviates some of that internal pressure about those moments. Um,

444
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: just to go back real quick. The other part of

445
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: Owen's question was all the Ravens gonna add anybody the

446
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: trade deadlines on Tuesday. UM, I do not think the

447
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: moves around the league. I don't think it's gonna be

448
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: like I don't think it's gonna be like some big

449
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver. You said you do think so? No, No,

450
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I do not. Yeah, I mean it

451
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me. I mean they don't need to add

452
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. They have these guys like the passers

453
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: is looking pretty good with Justin Houston. Shout out to

454
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: Justin Houston. Four sacks and two games and the guy

455
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: makes Tom Brady the most sack of quarterback of all time.

456
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: Jerry on top right, like Justin Houston is balling six

457
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: sacks and he missed three games because of a groin injury.

458
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: I mean, Dann dudes playing like five you know, do

459
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: us so just some five years ago, going on the

460
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: shelf for a few weeks with the groin injury may

461
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: have been investing for him. I mean he's come back

462
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: for fresh legs and it's like shot out of a

463
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: can and every time he's chasing the quarterback exactly. Um so,

464
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: and then you have these other pass rushers, you know,

465
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: Tis Bowser, I keep you know what, I would think

466
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: that he has a chance, you know, to come back

467
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: against the Saints. David Jabo, same thing. You know. Everybody

468
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: talks about how great they look in practice, you know,

469
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: and and how fast they are and all that stuff.

470
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 1: So like, I don't think they need to make an

471
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: addition at pass rusher. I mean inside linebacker maybe maybe,

472
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: But Patrick Queen is playing well. You know, Josh Binds

473
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: missed this game. A J. Klein kind of stepped up

474
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: and played a fair amount of snaps yesterday, um stepping

475
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: into that spot, he played well, fifteen snaps. Also, yeah,

476
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: I had to kind of split it. Millie Harrison played

477
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: of the maps. So, you know, could they make an

478
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: addition there? I don't. I don't know. I just like

479
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: every everything, everything that everybody's saying in terms of addition

480
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: is a wide receiver, right. But like it feels weird

481
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: to to come off a game and we're sitting here

482
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: talking about how wide receiver stepped up and made plays.

483
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: And now you're saying we got a trade for somebody,

484
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, what I mean, Like, well, I just I think,

485
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think yeah, I mean de Marcus

486
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: Rombinson did make plays. But I think in particular, like

487
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: ohnlikely the tight end really is the one who stepped up. Again.

488
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: You can't I had it earlier. I didn't training camp.

489
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: You caught it. Oh, it's gonna be so happy about this. Likely,

490
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: I look, I think in terms of adding pieces a

491
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: position that maybe I would just not comp rule out.

492
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: And I think part of this just in terms of

493
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: the injury updates real quick. The good news is after

494
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: the game, John Harbor said that the juries to Mark

495
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: andrews andscy Bateman are not serious, so hopefully they're able

496
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: to go next week against the States. Fingers crossed, uh gus.

497
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: I wonder I wonder if part of the reasoning with

498
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: like them just kind of getting shut down in the

499
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: second half was that they knew they were going run heavy,

500
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: So why why are you trotting them out there? Yeah?

501
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: Maybe that maybe maybe that's you know, maybe that's part

502
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: of it. Also, like Mark was dealing with the knee

503
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: injury the last two weeks, and so like I think

504
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: he was, he was feeling it probably on his legs

505
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: on a shoulder across the board. Um, so, but then

506
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: the other one is uh, Gus Edwards. So Gus Edwards

507
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: goes down with the hamstring and I'll when he goes down,

508
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, oh, no, please know And because

509
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: he looks so good. Um, and John Harbor said, doesn't

510
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: look serious. But we're going to know more today Friday

511
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: as they check him out. So we'll probably get an

512
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: update on that next week potentially. Um. In terms of

513
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: the severity of it, if that were to be a

514
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: situation where you know, he's out a little while, I

515
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: do I wonder if the Rams can make a move

516
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: to add a running back. And now I don't think

517
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: they're making like you know, Christian Kaffrey went to the

518
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: four Niners. That's not the type of move I'm talking about,

519
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: Like I'm talking cam Akers. I'm talking more like a

520
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: few years ago. Just as an example, the Ravens added

521
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: Tigh Montgomery at the trade deadline, like like, is there

522
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: somebody out there that the Ravens could add that's not

523
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: gonna be like I mean, the forty Niners gave up

524
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: a lot for christ McCaffrey, right, like they're the Ravens

525
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: aren't gonna like give up like five picks to go

526
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: get somebody. But could they get somebody that's like relatively

527
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: affordable to help them at running back, especially if Gus

528
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: is out for a little while j K is on

529
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: injured reserve right now, you may potentially want to add

530
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: another piece there. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I

531
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: think if they were, if they were going to make

532
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: any kind of splashy move, I think it would be

533
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. But I don't anticipate that happening. I

534
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: think also, you know, they already got the Shawan Jackson.

535
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, like what they've seen from him, you know,

536
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: and and I think that he can he can help them. Yeah,

537
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: I think if there's like I think there's actually legit

538
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: excitement around him and his when he gets on the field.

539
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it's next week, but you know, well mar Jackson

540
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: has talked about him and how he's looked in practice

541
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: in his speed, and it just seems like there's like

542
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: some real excitement about what he could bring to this offense,

543
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: wasn't it. Kirk curve Street last night said that he

544
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: was talking to a Ravens coach who said, like, dude,

545
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: still got it. Like they've been Yeah, legit impressed. So yeah,

546
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't really foresee a splash trade deadline move. But

547
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: Eric costs. He's a wheeler and dealer. He's like me

548
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: in fantasy football. You're always in the market. Yeah, so

549
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: you never know. Yeah. And something else that we do

550
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: know is that the sports landscape is always changing. This

551
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: week is no different. DraftKings is a leader in daily

552
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: fantasy sports, and it still has daily fancy contests running

553
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: for those who are looking at skin in the game.

554
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: It's simple. Every player has a salary associated with drafting him.

555
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: You assemble a lineup of players and you try to

556
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: stay under the salary cap, and then you sit back

557
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: and you watch your points pile up. Now you know

558
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: how to play. Down to the Draft Kings app today,

559

Speaker 1: go down, you know you get this. This is an

563
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: off weekend, You're right, Oh, for sure, this is when

564
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm at the pumpkin patch. When you're at the phone,

565
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: you're on the hay ride, you're taking, you're going around

566
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: in the tractor sitting on the hay bales, and that's

567
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: the trade. That's spotty cell signal, laptop immediately out on

568
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: my lap on the hay ride. Families out there picking

569
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: up pumpkins. You have to sit in the corner and

570
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: drink your apple cider and write the trade story. Cold

571
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: apple cider. Now it's it's well, it's it's just room temp. Uh.

572
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: So we haven't really talked it. We talked a lot

573
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: about the offense. Let's just kind of quickly here go

574
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: through some of the defensive highlights for the Ravens, you know,

575
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: like I said, Clays Campbell out like that was a

576
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: pretty big loss, you know, and you saw the Bucks

577
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: having some success on the ground. They were the worst

578
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: running team in the league coming into the into the game,

579
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: and they had some early success with the under fournet,

580
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh boy, you know, place has been

581
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: playing well, Like is this gonna hurt? You know? Are

582
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: they not gonna be able to make up for this loss.

583
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: Buccaneers go down the field score their first touchdown in

584
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: the first quarter that all year they hadn't scored one yet,

585
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: and first drive of the game they marched down. You're like,

586
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: this could be a long game. Tom's getting the ball

587
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: out of his hands really fast, just looked like tough.

588
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: Then they marched down on another long drive, thing fifty

589
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: yard drive for a field goal on their second drive.

590
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: And this it reminded me, and I think I tweeted

591
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: this last night. It was like, the Ravens are gonna

592
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: have to pull the Browns here. You know. The Browns

593
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: went down the field, scored a touchdown on their opening

594
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: drive and just marched and everybody's like, oh my godness,

595
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 1: this defense is in for a long day. And then

596
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: they really tightened up um, and sure enough, that's what

597
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens did. I thought, Geno Stone, I think it

598
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: was the Bucks third drive, made a really nice hit

599
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: to get a ball out on third down force a

600
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: point there, and then the Bucks punted. I think it

601
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: wasn't five straight drives five straight punts for them. I

602
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: mean the defense really tightened up both secondary end up front.

603
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really good game for Mike

604
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: McDonald his crew. Yeah, I agree. Um again, you know,

605
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those like the feeling they're feeling

606
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: on Raven's Twitter was not so optimistic, you know, you know,

607
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: a few drives in um. But like again, in totality,

608
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: it was a strong, really strong game. You know, I

609
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: think that you know what you want to see him

610
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: and I think all the DBS would agree with this.

611
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: When you have interceptions, hit your hands, make the play,

612
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's like the one. But I guess sour Spot,

613
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, those guys are probably kicking themselves more hun

614
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: Free Chuck clark Um about not making them those picks,

615
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: especially on Tom Brady and potentially his last season, Like

616
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,239
Speaker 1: that's the that's the football that you like put up

617
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: on the shelf, like I picked off and they missed

618
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: that opportunity. So I'm sure that they're bummed out about that. Um.

619
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I mean it was a good defensive performance.

620
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: We already talked about justin Houston, like he has brought

621
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: so much juice to that pass rush um, and so

622
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: it just was it was a it overall day. I

623
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: thought Gina Gino played a good game. Um. I thought,

624
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 1: you know, Kyle Hamilton made a couple of plays, you know,

625
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: one on the goal one that was yeah, just just

626
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: sticking their rookie tight end. I thought Broddock Washington had

627
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: a good game, you know, getting his hands up batting

628
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: down at least one ball, uh, stepping in playing a

629
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: little bit more with Claire's Campbell out. I thought it

630
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: was a very good game for Brodock. He had played

631
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: the snaps Um. Yeah. I just thought, you know, it

632
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: wasn't like anybody had a monstrous night. But across the board,

633
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: across the board, just good solid defense against and let's

634
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: be honest, like they have some big time weapons. You know,

635
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: Marlon gave up that long with the Mike Evans. That's

636
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna happen sometimes, you know what I mean, that was

637
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: a great play. I mean, Mike Evans is a monster.

638
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: He's put up a thousand receiving yards every single year.

639
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: Dude's a monster. So you're gonna give up some. But

640
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: I thought across the board, like pretty darn good day. Yeah. Yeah,

641
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: with a hamstring issue, he only played se the snaps um,

642
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, so for him to get out of finished

643
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: the game, get out of it, you know, like without

644
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: that hamstring being something that you're really concerned about, I

645
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: think is a good sign. Um. And it was a

646
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: good day for the rookies. I thought, overall, a good

647
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: day for the rookies, you know, like we just mentioned

648
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's I thought that another guy who obviously had

649
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: to step up more with Glass was Travis Jones. I

650
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: think he played a pretty good game. And then all

651
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: back to the offensive side of the ball, Tyler Linder

652
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: mom was eating just just Devin White, multi year Pro Bowler,

653
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: All Pro linebacker, considered one of the best inside linebackers

654
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: in football, and Tyler Linder bam ate his lunch. Give

655
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: me that entire snack pack, it's mine. I mean, dude,

656
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: he was feasting um. So, I mean, yeah it Linder

657
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: bamb is good. I mean, especially like he he is

658
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: what he is, and you have to know what he is, right,

659
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like Vita vea bull rushing him up the middle.

660
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: That's a tough assignment for anybody, and especially Tyler linder Bomb,

661
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: who's a little bit more of an undersized center like

662
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: sa Vita got kind of a had an early sack

663
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: in the game, and you're like, oh, man, Ravens, this

664
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be tough, and it's gonna be tough for

665
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: them to run the ball, you know, if he has

666
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: to move Vitave off the line. But then the Ravens

667
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: rent some more of their stretch zone run kind of

668
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: stuff in the second half, really kind of spreading them out.

669
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: And you see linder Bomb is just the centerpiece of

670
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: that rushing attack. You know, when you want to run

671
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: the ball and get him to the second level on linebackers,

672
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna do it like he is rare. He has

673
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: rare ability in doing that. And he just saw you

674
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: just watched Tyler linder Bomb and I'm like watching him

675
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: push linebackers ten yards back from the scrimmage he finishes

676
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: every block, which I love. I mean, he is pushing

677
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: guys into the second level and driving him into the

678
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: ground if he has the opportunity to do so. And

679
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: that is even not just that it's just like put

680
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: him on skates. It's not even just like the finishing.

681
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: It's just like, I mean, he's running dudes ten yards down.

682
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: That's the moralizing for defense. That's the moralizing for a defense.

683
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: And linder Bomb seems to me, like, you know, I

684
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: thought you You asked John Hardball this question during the

685
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: week about him getting better every week, and Hardball told

686
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: a story that you know, basically, I think it's after

687
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: the six game he said to lender Bomb. You know,

688
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: basically you seem to keep getting better and lender Bomb said,

689
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: it's just my six game coach, I'm gonna just gonna

690
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: keep getting better, and like that's what we've seen from him,

691
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: steady progress all year long. I also like his swagger. Man,

692
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: I was mentioned I don't know if it was you,

693
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: but I was telling somebody about this, like, you know,

694
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: just a little insider perspective from the locker room and

695
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, like you definitely see I've definitely noticed

696
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: linder Bomb kind of walking around with a little bit

697
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: more swagger, like he feels it's just when you play

698
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: well as a rookie, especially early on, like it builds

699
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: so much confidence. And I just he's kind of oozing that,

700
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: Like you just see him at ease, and it's a

701
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: much different person, and not a much different person. He's

702
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: the same person, but like just a different vibe and

703
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: feeling I think that he has now when you compare

704
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: it to like when he had was dealing with the

705
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: ankle injury, you know, in training camp and just getting

706
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: healthy and all that stuff, Like you just see him

707
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: take kind of taking command in that offensive line and

708
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: feeling good about the way he's playing. I agree. I

709
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: think also like when you're a rookie. Uh you take

710
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: a scene not you know heard, just work, keep your

711
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: head down, all that stuff. And like he he embodied that,

712
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: but now he's like he'll be giving it back to

713
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: some of the other players in the locker room. And

714
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: and um, right there in the thick of some of

715
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: those like conversations, and yeah, I do think he's coming

716
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: out of a shell a little bit. And uh, it

717
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 1: certainly helps when you're putting Devin White on his back.

718
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: You know, that allows you to have a little bit

719
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: more bravado in the locker room. Um uh, really strong game.

720
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: Also shout out Morgan Moses. I thought played a really

721
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: good game, Zeitler McCarry. This offensive line is playing and

722
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: really well right now. And and like we talked about before,

723
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: that can really like that's what left me why I

724
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: felt like this offense was gonna work out of its problems.

725
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: Like this o line, I don't care who's running the

726
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: ball right now, Like they have room to run, they

727
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: have lanes right and and for Lamar Jackson, for the

728
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: running backs, for everybody, and and if Lamar is feeling

729
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: comfortable back there in pass pro all that, like it

730
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: just really a good offensive line can carry a long way.

731
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: Talking about blocking, Isaiah likely the best block run blocking

732
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: grade on the team and it wasn't even close. Well

733
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: he did, you know? He did say uh, And then

734
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: in his postgame press conference like, I feel like I

735
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: was blocking blocking pretty well. Coacharve was gonna like that

736
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: on tape. So he felt pretty good about his He

737
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: got his run blocking ability, He got a PFF score

738
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: of ninety one point nine. He was he was right,

739
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: so pretty good, pretty good. UM. Anyway, a lot of

740
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: good things to love coming out of this game. The

741
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: Ravens now have what what is it? One game in

742
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: twenty three days? Yea, and to buy yep, right, you

743
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: have a mini mini by coming out of this. And

744
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 1: these guys can get healthy, you know, hopefully obviously Mark

745
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: Rashad gus, these guys can get healthy. All these banged

746
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: up players, I think, you know, they'll be feeling a

747
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: lot better comes Saints game. Hopefully they can, you know,

748
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: hopefully these don't linger past that. UM. As long as

749
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens get healthy over this by, I really feel

750
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: like they could get on a roll. Like you look

751
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: at the schedule Saints by Panthers, are we playing the Doves, Game, Panthers, Jags, Broncos,

752
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: Steelers like Brown's Falcons, Steelers like let's roll, let's go,

753
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: You don't go. You're looking at what we've played eight

754
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: games so far, so you're looking at nine more wins.

755
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: That's how worst case worst case worst case is. I

756
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: think a nine more game winning streak do Yeah, So

757
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,279
