1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. We are going 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: to break down the Ravens twenty four to sixteen win 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: over the Tennessee Titans in London. Going through the tape, 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: Garrett going through it all. No, there was a lot 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: to like in this game. There were obviously some some 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: bugaboos that prevented the Ravens from kind of pulling away 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: in this game, but a lot, a lot, a lot 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: to like in the tape. 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that I feel really good 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: about this this game in a lot of ways. I mean, 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: I think that there's we'll get into some of the 12 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: things that they need to clean up, rezone offense being 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: the number one thing I would say. But just from 14 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: an overall standpoint, I thought it was a pretty clean 15 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: game from the Ravens. I thought they were efficient. I 16 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: thought the defense continues to play at a top notch level. 17 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 2: I think we felt all year longer this defense could 18 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 2: be one of the best, if not the best, in 19 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: the league. I think they continue to play at that 20 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: type of a level. So yeah, I'm I'm really encouraged, 21 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: like the more even removed from a couple of days 22 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: now removed from the game, I still feel really good 23 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: about the win. I think the Titans are always a 24 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: difficult team to beat, tough team, we'll coach all that stuff. 25 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: And the Ravens, I just felt really good about what 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: we saw on Sunday. 27 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: I want to go on a little mini rant. 28 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: Here, right off the top, right off the top, right. 29 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: Off the top, And the point I'm gonna make here 30 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: is I think that the expectations for the Ravens are 31 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: really high, and I think they should be. I think 32 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: that speaks to how good a team they are. But 33 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: to kind of expect that the Ravens are going to 34 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: blow people out routinely, it's just not really realistic. Right. 35 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: Are they the better Were they the better team than 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: the Colts? Yes? Were they a better team than the Steelers? Yes? 37 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: Were they a better team than the Titans? Yes? That 38 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: speaks to how good a team they are, right, Like, 39 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: you don't typically go into a game against the Tennessee 40 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Titans arrival of the Ravens, who play them really close 41 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: and come away and go into that feeling or during 42 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: the course of the game be like we should be 43 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: smoking them, right, And to me, that speaks to what 44 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens potential is this season, have they reached their potential? No, 45 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: but they're a really really good team. If you're feeling 46 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: in every game so far, like, man, they could be 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: crushing this team. If that's the feeling that you're getting 48 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: in every game, that speaks to how good this team 49 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: can be. Now. Conversely, to expect that to actually play out, 50 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: to expect the air free game, no problems, no mistake, 51 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: is unrealistic. Right. I thought the Ravens won this game 52 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: because they didn't kill themselves like they did against the Steelers, 53 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: and like they did against the Colts. They still had 54 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: some things to clean up. Not everything went perfect, and 55 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: thus they didn't blow them out, but they still won 56 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: by a pretty comfortable margin at the end of. 57 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: The Yeah, it is kind of crazy that, Like I 58 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: would say, a little bit of the sentiment that exists 59 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: right now is like, hey, look it's good to before 60 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: and two, good win, but you really should be six 61 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: and zero. And it's like, yes, okay, fair, fair, Like 62 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: the mistakes of the Ravens made in those games, Yeah, 63 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: they shouldn't have made and they and they should have 64 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: those games. You don't you don't get any credit for 65 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: the should have won games. There's lots of teams that 66 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: at the end of the year kicking themselves for the 67 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: should have one opportunities, So understand that. But I think 68 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: that the point is fair, which is that like the 69 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: just the fact that we feel like this team is 70 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: good enough to be six and zero speaks to the 71 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: quality of the team from top to bottom. 72 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: And also and blowing every and blowing people out weakly. 73 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like I should have wont buy more, I mean. 74 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: Should have put up thirty, should have held them under Yeah, 75 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: like I'm not. I'm not too that's expectation. 76 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, look, I mean, you would love to blow 77 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: out everybody. And I don't think that we've seen a 78 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: totally complete game from this team yet. I think they're 79 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: still working on that. For both the offense and the 80 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: defense to completely be in sync at the same time 81 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: and really put it all together. We haven't seen that yet, 82 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: and that's okay. I also think that like and I 83 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: hesitate to like, I do hesitate to make too much 84 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: of this because I think that like this can become 85 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: a cop out. It's an easy one to make, but 86 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: it's also there's there's a lot of truth in this. 87 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: Like look around the NFL, the Browns just beat the 88 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: forty nine or with PJ. Walkers the starting quarterback. Forty 89 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: nine Ers, we were one of the two undefeated teams 90 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: and they went to Cleveland and they after a huge 91 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: win against Dallas the previous week, and they lose that 92 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: game when Cleveland doesn't have their starting quarterback. Also, the Eagles, 93 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: who the other undefeated team, went and took on the 94 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 2: New York Jets and they lost after being up early 95 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: in that game. So, like, just if there any survivor 96 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: pools left in the NFL, they were all shattered on 97 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: Sunday with the Eagles and the forty nine Ers both 98 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: losing games that like they were heavily favored to win 99 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: and all that stuff like this, I think just speaks 100 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: to how hard it is to win. And John Harbaugh 101 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: did talk about this that this week and he's like, look, 102 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: I get it, but the margins between basically the best 103 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: teams and the worst teams in the league are really thin. 104 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: It's really thin, and that's why you get some crazy 105 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: results on a week to week basis. That does not 106 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: absolve the issues that the Ravens had against the Steelers 107 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 2: and against the Colts and games that they should have win, 108 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: but I think it does speak to just the challenge 109 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: that exists in the NFL to put it together entirely 110 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: every single week and play at your best over the 111 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,239 Speaker 2: course of a seventeen game regular season. 112 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely agree. And part of the argument is, well, 113 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: if the Ravens are going to compete against some of 114 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: the Titans, but not the actual Titans, but some of 115 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: the best teams around the league come season's end, you know, 116 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Bills, those kind of teams, if they're 117 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: gonna beat those teams in the playoffs, let's say the Bengals, right, well, 118 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: he they already beat the Bengals, but that they're gonna 119 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: have to play better than they're playing right now. Okay, 120 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: that's fine. Like those teams that you're naming also aren't 121 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: invincible either. They have their own mistakes. The Chiefs haven't 122 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: been late in the world on fire offensively in recent weeks. 123 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: The Bengals offense is still really to get off the ground, 124 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: has yet to get off the ground. Yeah, right, Like 125 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: every team has its flaws, and the Ravens, okay, one 126 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: week it was they're dropping balls left and right every 127 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: other game this season. They haven't had a single drop 128 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: from the wide receivers, right, and so like some of 129 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: this stuff too. You you know, now it's the red zone. 130 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh well, they have red zone issues. Well, two weeks 131 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: ago they were the best team in the league in 132 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: the red zone, right, So there was always they weren't 133 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: gonna convert touchdowns eighty percent of time in the red 134 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: zone all season long. You knew it was going to 135 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: balance out a little bit. But I would just hesitate 136 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: to draw too many big conclusions from any one game. 137 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: And I think when you dive into the tape, you see, okay, 138 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: this is kind of It's not like there's a pattern 139 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: of red zone problems that can't be fixed. It's play 140 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: to play. 141 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: I mean, I think that the sentiment, the belief that 142 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: the Ravens are going to need to play better in 143 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: the playoffs in order to beat the Chiefs or the Bills, 144 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 2: or the Bengals, the Dolphins, the teams that are at 145 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 2: the top of the AFC right now and have been 146 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: for the past couple of years. I think that that's true. 147 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: I think they will have to play better and they 148 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: won't be able to commit some of the mistakes, especially 149 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: that they had and the two losses this season. I 150 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: think that's true. But the playoffs don't start today. Okay, 151 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: so there's a lot of football between now and the 152 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: start of the playoffs. And honestly, the test is gonna 153 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: get tougher this week against the Lions. Like that. This 154 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: is I think this is the toughest test the Ravens 155 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: will have had this season, is playing the Lions, who 156 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: are five and one and might be the best team 157 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: that might be the best team in the NFL. Right now, 158 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: you can make that argument. 159 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: This is a measuring stick game. This is a measuring 160 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: stick game, all right. With all that said, let's jump 161 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: into the tape year. And I do want to start offensively. 162 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: Like you said, we're gonna get into the red zoon 163 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: and what happened down there, But I do want to 164 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: get into first what went right offensively, And I thought 165 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson played a really strong game again this week. 166 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: One play that stuck out to me in particular that 167 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: really illustrates that is early in the game, Lamar you 168 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: can see him at the line of scrimmage, just audibling 169 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: from the play, communicating with his guys, and he audibled 170 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: to a hot route to obj left the defensive end 171 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, just completely unblocked, throws the hot route to 172 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: OBJ who takes off for I think a thirty two 173 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: yard game. Just you know, we talked to all offseason 174 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: about Lamar taking the reins of this offense from Todd Monkin, 175 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: empowering Lamar Jackson, and that was an exam that he audibles, 176 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: makes the right read, perfect throw on the slant. 177 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I like what Odell did once once he 178 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: got the ball in his hands, you know, he made 179 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: you know, he extended that now he had room to run. 180 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 2: But I like the bursts that he showed on that play, 181 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: and I like, I want to see Odell get going 182 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: and I think he does too, and the Ravens do, 183 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: like they they invested a lot in him this offseason 184 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: and it's been a long road for him to get 185 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: back to this point. So like I'm with you on 186 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: the Lamar element of that play, but just from a 187 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: unitor Odell standpoint, like I thought this game was encouraging 188 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: to see him like he's dealt with the ankle injury. 189 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: To me, he showed on that play, Okay, like that 190 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 2: seems like it's behind him. And he kind of hinted 191 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: during his time with the media last week in London, like, 192 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: you know, maybe I came back a week too soon. 193 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: Like maybe I came back a week too soon. And 194 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: by the end of the week he had no injury 195 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: destination going into the game. And then he caught that 196 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: ball and he took off and he showed a good burst. 197 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: So I like where he is trending. 198 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I'm not gonna go I don't 199 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: know that I necessarily agree with you that it's completely 200 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: behind him. I think that there's another gear to Odell 201 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: Beckham that we didn't see on that play. I think, 202 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, can he house that potentially? I don't know 203 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna sit here and say, oh, he's one 204 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: hundred percent. 205 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, tough bar. You gotta take a slant eighty 206 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: yards to the house or else. 207 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: Hey, I didn't say that. I've seen that. I've seen 208 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: that before in New York against the Opens. I've seen that. 209 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: So so I think there's another level to obj and uh, 210 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, I agree with the sentiment that, uh, he's 211 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: trending in the right direction for sure. I thought another 212 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: play by Lamar, the throwdown the scene to Mark Andrews 213 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: late in the game to kind of fourth quarter that 214 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: kind of sealed the game. I mean, you talk about 215 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: a big time throwing, a big time moment, taking a chance. 216 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: You know, they had zone coverage on that play and 217 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: Lamar kind of waited, had good protection. We'll talk about 218 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: the offensive line had good protection and put that right 219 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: over top of the of the safety who kind of 220 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that safety anticipated Mark to just to 221 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: go as deep as he did. Mark gets over the 222 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: top of him, and it was just a perfect throw 223 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: by Lamar in a critical situation. 224 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: I think that. I mean, when that throw was made, 225 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: I think we both kind of said to each other 226 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: in the press box, like that's that's a game winning 227 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: type of throw, Like that's the type of throw that 228 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 2: you need to win a game, Like you're the franchise quarterback. 229 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: The offense needs to make it play. They had some 230 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: issues late in games over the course of this season. 231 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 2: This is an opportunity where you need somebody to step up. 232 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: Lamar stepped up, Mark stepped up, deliver the throw right 233 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: on the money. The Ravens move the chains, keep the 234 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: clock rolling, getting position for the field goal, and it's 235 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: that's what you needed, That's what you needed. To win 236 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 2: that game, and Lamar came over with the player to 237 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 2: do it. And that's why, like, you know, when when 238 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 2: some of the conversation last week, you know, go back 239 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: was like are the Ravens getting enough out of Lamar Jackson? 240 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: And both of us said, like, this is a ridiculous 241 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 2: narrative right now, considering that the issue had against Pittsburgh 242 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: was not Lamar. The issue was the drops that that 243 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: was the issue in that game, you know. And I 244 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 2: just think that, like, I think Lamar is playing great 245 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: right now. I thought he had a great game against 246 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: against Cleveland. I thought he delivered some perfect throws against 247 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: the Steelers that got dropped that if they don't get dropped, 248 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: the Ravens win that game. And now against the Titans, 249 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: he once again continued that and like these are two 250 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: throws that I think speak to his development. I have 251 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: just been really impressed with the way that Lamar is 252 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: playing this year, and I think that we're seeing that 253 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 2: on a weekend, week out basis, the throws that he's 254 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: making are a show the progression that he's made and 255 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 2: the development of him as a quarterback. And I'm really 256 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: I'm just really encouraged by that. 257 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: I think one thing that you said in there really 258 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: resonates with me, and that's a weekend, week out basis. 259 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: It's the consistency, right, It's not he has one huge 260 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: game and then there's a oh, that game was tough. Right, 261 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: It's been really every week that Lamar has showed up. 262 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's a little bit of a change. 263 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: You know, twenty nineteen aside, that was just a magical 264 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: season from starting to finish pretty much well from week 265 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: three to to finish basically, and put that aside, and 266 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: I think that this is the most consistently well that 267 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: Lamar has played over his career. 268 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think this. Yeah, I mean that's that's 269 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: a good that's a high bar. But I think that 270 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: he's playing just as a passer, like he is delivering 271 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 2: some great throws on a consistent basis. I'm with you, Well, it's. 272 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: Not just as a passer. I mean running too. I 273 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: mean converting that third and three with the way he 274 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: drooked four defenders. You know, I think he's getting it 275 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: done all the way around. I don't, I don't. I 276 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: don't want to minimize what he's still doing with his legs. Right, 277 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: has he had the breakaway, you know, seventy yard touchdown 278 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: run like we saw against the Dolphins at the start 279 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: of last year. Like, no, you know. And but I 280 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: think that he's still doing a lot with his legs 281 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: for this all I think, And I don't think that's gonna. 282 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 2: I think that he's more he's efficient with when he runs. 283 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 2: It's almost like, I don't know, it it's it's it's 284 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: almost like the inverse of what we had seen previously 285 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: in his career. Like he's been such a dynamic runner 286 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 2: throughout his career, and he had been, especially in nineteen 287 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: when he was at his best, really efficient as a passer, 288 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: but the volume wasn't there compared to the other quarterbacks 289 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: in the league. So he was really efficient, didn't turn 290 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: the ball over, and was excellent as a runner. And 291 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: now I think that like he's still he still is 292 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: running the ball a good amount, but it's less than 293 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: it has been previously in his career. And but the 294 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: times that he does run, I think he has been 295 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: really really efficient. But I don't like, I don't think 296 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: that I don't know. I think that he has taking 297 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: a big step as a passer, and I think maybe 298 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: a step back a little bit from a design standpoint 299 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 2: as a runner, like, I just don't. I don't see 300 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: many hundred yard rushing games for Lamar this year. I 301 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: just don't. And that he's had those plenty of times 302 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: over the course of his career. I don't think he's 303 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: going to have many this season. 304 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. I don't think he's 305 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: gonna have a lot one hundred yard rushing games. All right, 306 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: moving on one another thing. I want to talk about 307 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: the touchdown. We're gonna talk about the red zone and 308 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: one of six. Well, let's talk about the one right 309 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: where when they scored the touchdown down there Zay Flowers 310 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: and look, it was an unfair fight. He had Harold 311 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: Landry and outside linebacker trying to cover him out in 312 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: the flats. That is not gonna work. That is just 313 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: unfair to Harold Landry. But you see now the trend 314 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: of unscripted kind of extended plays and those two guys, 315 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: Lamar and Zay hooking up right, and you saw it 316 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: on this And I think that Zake is really a weapon, 317 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: particularly around the red zone, if the Ravens can get 318 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: extended plays because of how shifty he is. I mean, 319 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: you look at that play and he comes, He comes 320 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: all the way across the formation, runs a shallow crosser 321 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: and then he just his change of direction on Harold Landry. 322 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: I mean he just changed so fast it created like 323 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: an instant five yard cushion. I mean he was wide open, 324 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: all of us wide open, right, and the whole rest 325 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: of the play. Landry's right in his hip pocket. But 326 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: Zay's oh quick that he can create, and especially in 327 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: the red zone, it really matters to be able to 328 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: get that quick separation is a big, big deal. And 329 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: I wonder if the Ravens can get some more, whether 330 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: it's roll out, what it is, any kind of extended 331 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: plays that let Zay really kind of use that quickness 332 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: in space to create some separation. 333 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: I think is a good You know what's funny about 334 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: that is after the game, someone asked him. A reporter 335 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: from the UK asked him like, do you think you 336 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: earned your nickname Joystick in this game? And he was like, eh, 337 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: I didn't even make anybody miss this game, so not really, 338 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: I need to do better with that. And how you're 339 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: pointing out like like that's just so that that. 340 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: Wasn't really making a guy miss with the ball in 341 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: his hands is I think what he's thinking. Yeah, but 342 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: he just but he doesn't count it against the outside linebacker. 343 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: He's like that, yeah, he's just not counting it. He's 344 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: just like, yeah, that's expected. That's just kind of what 345 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: I do. But yeah, he made the point like, yeah, 346 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: I didn't even make anybody business game. So now I 347 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: guess I didn't earn the nickname today. 348 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: And to your earlier point, I think the offensive line 349 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: did have a strong game. I think Ronnie Stanley kind 350 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: of had a bounce back game. You know, he had 351 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: had a couple of tough days, you know when it 352 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: was his first game back last week again in Pittsburgh, 353 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: and obviously have a tough assignment against Alex Highsmith. But 354 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, Ronnie only allowed three hurries and three thirty 355 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: seven pass blocking snaps. It was his best game of 356 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: the year. I thought Kevin Zeitler again, he had his 357 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: best game of the year. So you got two of 358 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: your your top offensive linemen playing at a high level. 359 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: You have your offense Margan Moses Returns, you have your 360 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: starting zero line back and it showed. 361 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm like, if if the Ravens are gonna be 362 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: really good, I think I think they need Ronnie to 363 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: play at high level. I mean, he's he's one of 364 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: the he's one of the best, one of the highest 365 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: paid players. He's your left tackle, and you feel it 366 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: when he's not in there, and you feel it when 367 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: he's not one hundred percent, and so like you need 368 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 2: him to be playing, and so yours. When you looked 369 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: at it, you felt like, this guy is getting back, 370 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: he's on the right he's on the right path. 371 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: From a past protection standpoint. I think in particular, you know, 372 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was under pressure less than thirty percent of 373 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: his dropbacks. That was down from forty eight percent against 374 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Again, the Steelers has some really good pass rushers, right, 375 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't think the Titans, you can say they're quite 376 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: at that level right now. But still that's that's eighteen 377 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: percent drop in pressures. That's that's big. But to roll 378 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: it forward, when you look at the Ravens some of 379 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens red zone problems, I do think that run 380 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: blocking in those instances was part of the issue of 381 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: why the Ravens didn't get in the end zone more. 382 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: Let's go through that, all right, So the Ravens actually 383 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: did pretty there's really four red zone drives, okay, So 384 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: everybody's making a big deal of the one of six. Well, 385 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: one of them was the Tucker field goal at the 386 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: end of the first half. Right, they didn't even run 387 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: a play in the red zone. They just kicked a 388 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: field goal. So sure, yep, you didn't score a touchdown, 389 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: but you yeah, rule take that one isn't count on 390 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: that one doesn't count, okay. The other one was the 391 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: the uh on the A. And then there's the mark 392 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: direct snap like from the eighteen or nineteen yard line, right, 393 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: so yeah, you didn't convert there, but that wasn't like 394 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: goal line. You had a series at the goal line 395 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: and got stopped. Right, Let's go through the three on 396 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: the goal line in particular, right, this is these are 397 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: all inside the five yard line. Okay. The Ravens actually 398 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: did a pretty good job on first down inside the ten, right, 399 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: they had some five yard runs, six yard run, like, 400 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: you'll take that inside the ten yard line. That's some 401 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: good hard running. The issues came on second down, okay. 402 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: So one get you got quick backfield pressure from the 403 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: left side. This was just a good bull rush. Ronnie 404 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: Stanley had a tough block. He had to kind of 405 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: reach block his guy. He got pushed back. John Simpson 406 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: got pushed back. It was a handoff to Justice Hill, 407 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: kind of a misdirection handoff, and it just Justice got 408 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: pushed in the backfield and it took him off off course. 409 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: Basically get a stop. I think it was a one 410 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: yard gain. Okay, now you have third down, you have 411 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: to throw it. Lamar really looks like he's looking to 412 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: his left the whole way. He's looking for Obj. He 413 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: had Nelson Aguilar on a crosser the Titans. Maybe he 414 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: could have thrown that quicker and Nelson could have picked 415 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: up the first down. He wouldn't have scored a touchdown, 416 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: but maybe it would have been tight. It would have 417 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: been a really tight play. Instead, Lamar opts to throw 418 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: it over the top to Obj, but the defender just 419 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: walled him off. I mean Obj basically was trying to 420 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: run kind of a to the flag and the defender 421 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: had him to just completely walled off. Lamar had no 422 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: room to throw that ball. If Obj had broken that 423 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: to the right, I don't know if it's an option route. 424 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: If he goes over the right, he has a lot 425 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: of room over the middle. But that wasn't the route 426 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: the defender played. Well, okay, feel good. That's the first one. Okay, 427 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: second one again, pretty strong run on first down. Second down, 428 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: Ronnie just missed his second level block. You know, he 429 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: was supposed to get to the second level get the linebacker. 430 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: Linebacker just kind of blew right past him. Blows up 431 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: the play. All right. Then you have a This is 432 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: the play where Lamar gets stuffed for the four yard loss. 433 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: Riccard comes across, tries to hit Landry. Landry just did 434 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: a nice job fighting off that block. The Ravens had 435 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: a four wide look. This was kind of the play 436 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: that John Harbaugh was talking about where we tried to 437 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: spread him out and it just didn't really work four wide. 438 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: Titans still had a lot of men right up the line. 439 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: They basically went cover zero. Said they're not going to 440 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: throw it to one of these, and they packed the 441 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: house and Harold Landry made a nice play fighting off 442 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: a block from Patrick Riccard. It looked like Lamar almost 443 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: had a little hesitation, as if to make the Titans 444 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: try to think he might throw the ball. You know, 445 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: he didn't get the snap and then immediately just try 446 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: to hit a hole. There was a hesitation, wait for 447 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: your block to kind of open up with pat Riccard 448 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: coming across and Recard just you know, he didn't get 449 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: a lot of push on Landry on that play. Okay, now, 450 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: four yard loss, you kick another field, third and final one. 451 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: Because I know this is getting a little long here, 452 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: but this is a his own breakdown, so I'm giving 453 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: it to you. First play, Ronnie got pushed into the 454 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: backfield again. This blew up another running play. Okay, third down, 455 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: Titans had six guys in the middle of the field. 456 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: They had a two man rush basically with a spying 457 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: d ND and a dropping defensive tackle, so they the 458 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: Ravens looked like they were trying to hit Mark Andrews 459 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: down the middle of the field. Devin Duvernet was on 460 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: a shot acrosser. Lamar's eyes looked down the middle of 461 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: the entire time and they just clouded the picture. Six guys. 462 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar had nowhere to throw in that situation. 463 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Credit the Titans a good defensive call, the d N, 464 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: the dropping d tackle, all that stuff. Maybe Lamar had 465 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: a play to Zay he had kind of motioned out 466 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: to the right. He would have had a one on 467 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: one against the defender with pretty good space, just would 468 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: have had to make that guy miss coming out of 469 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: the backfield. Maybe Lamar had a quick throw to Zay 470 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: there they could have scored. But Lamar didn't see it, 471 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: didn't look that way. His eyes were down the middle 472 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: of the field, saw the cloud coverage, nowhere to throw, 473 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: and he tried to take off and make a play 474 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: by himself with his leg and just got stopped short. 475 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: So those were the three and then the Mark direct 476 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: snap the Ravens had it. There's a big gap in 477 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: the middle right over syl Linbaum had a big gap 478 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: over the middle. I thought it was a good play call. 479 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: They just saw they just saw it. It was a 480 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: good film study by the Titans. At the very last second, 481 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: both their d tackles kind of shifted inside, plug that 482 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: up in their safety, hit the middle, and I think 483 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: Mark got that first down. Quite frankly, I thought it 484 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: was it was a bad spot. I think they picked 485 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: that up but didn't end up getting that that spot 486 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: from the ref. So those are your four red zone 487 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: drives that really count, and again kind of you know, 488 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: it's play to play if you're looking for some consistent 489 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: I didn't think that Ronnie had his best series then 490 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: some blocks run blocking didn't really work out and there 491 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: are some challenging blocks in there for him. But I 492 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: would like to see a little bit better people. 493 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 2: Look, I meant generally as you kind of went through 494 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 2: all that the Ravens when they're down there, that they 495 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: need to get more of a push on the ground, 496 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 2: like they need they're going to have success down in 497 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: the red zone and you're and you're trying to run 498 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 2: the ball, you do need to have more of a 499 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: push off the line, and I think that that will come. 500 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: Like I think that it's it's hard to run the 501 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: ball down there too. They could stack out the box 502 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: like defense to know you want to run the ball too. 503 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 2: It's the easiest way into the end zone in theory, 504 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: and so it's hard. It's it's difficult sledding down there, 505 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 2: both run and pass. But like, you do need to 506 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: get more of a push off the line of scrimmage 507 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 2: if you're going to have success down there running the football. 508 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: And I think the Ravens have the horses to do it. 509 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: I just think that this game they weren't able to 510 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: get it done. They were not able to get the 511 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: they were not able to get the push to the 512 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage down there on the red basically in 513 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: the red zone, the Titans won the battle of the 514 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 2: trenches and that's the reason that the Ravens weren't able 515 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: to punch it in on those drives. 516 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: So and like we said, they're a good red zone defense. 517 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: They have some good d tackles who are physical upfront, 518 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: and we saw that right and they got they got 519 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: pushed in the backfield, and that's particularly tough to handle 520 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: when you get that instant push into the backfield, especially 521 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: when you have pooling blockers, Like that's one thing that 522 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: I saw a couple of times there. You have you 523 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: have guys that are trying to pool around and when 524 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: you get backfield pressure that really throws off you know, 525 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: Kevin Zeidler couldn't even get around Ronnie Stanley to make 526 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: another block. You know, you just kind of foul that 527 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: all up with with initial pressure. So I think kind 528 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: of the power running game is you know, that's something 529 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: if if they could improve kind of with that straight 530 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: man to man you're pushing them off the ball, you know, 531 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: power running straight ahead, I think they would that would 532 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: behoove them. That would that would serve them well in 533 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: the red zone if they can do that. 534 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and 535 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 2: then we'll give you some more thoughts on this game 536 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 2: and look ahead to the matchup coming up against the Lions. 537 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 2: All right, thanks for listening.

So what other thoughts you know 558 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 2: you want to kind of discuss. The main thing I 559 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: want to I want to get some you know, talk 560 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 2: about quickly here is is the pass rush, you know 561 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: the Ravens, Like I actually did final drive on that 562 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: this week, and everyone kind of coming into the season 563 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 2: was like this pass rush. You know, you're putting a 564 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: lot of lot of trust in young guys. You know, 565 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: you don't have a dominant pass rusher. How are you 566 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 2: going to get after the quarterback? And through the first 567 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: six games, the Ravens are tied with the Bills the 568 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: league lead twenty four sacks in the NFL. So yeah, 569 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 2: and it's basically a committee approach. Everybody's getting in on 570 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 2: the action. Mattabique, Clowney, Kyle Hamilton, Patch Queen, Like everybody's 571 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 2: getting in Van Noy, you know, off the couch, University 572 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 2: is coming in and making plays. So like everybody's kind 573 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: of getting in on the action, and I think a 574 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: lot of it. I think that Ravens those are good players. 575 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: I also have said this before many times. I really 576 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: like Mike McDonald. I think he puts players in position 577 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: to succeed. He's creative and how he uses guys. I 578 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: think clown is a good example of that. I think 579 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton is a good example of that. So, like, what, 580 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 2: in your mind has been the biggest reason that the 581 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 2: Ravens are the best team in the league, tied with 582 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 2: the Bills at getting pressure on quarterbacks? 583 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: Well, I think you know, you have these guys in 584 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: Clowney and van Neyt who are playing at a high 585 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: level despite their older age. And I think a lot 586 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: of people kind of wrote those guys off right they 587 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: were sitting out there for a reason, and credit to them, 588 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: they're playing really well. I mean, Jadaveon clown was just 589 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: super active and you see kind of the assortment of 590 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: moves that he has. I mean he won with power, 591 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: he won with kind of his hands of the line 592 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: of scooage, he won with burst, he won getting kind 593 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: of skinny through a hole. I mean you see the 594 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: full array of Jadevion Clowney in this game. I mean, 595 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: that's what happens, is when you get pressure on forty 596 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: seven point four percent of your your rushes, it's impressive, right. 597 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: And you also see you know, he got some assists 598 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: from Kyle van Noy who broke out his spin move. 599 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: You see some of the veteran moves. They are really 600 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: paying off. You know, we talked, like you said, going 601 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: into the season, people were like, well, you're relying on 602 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: these young pass rushers, and we said it too, you're 603 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: relying on Nadafiowa and David Jabo to really break out. Well, 604 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: they've both been sidelined for the majority of the year. 605 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,239 Speaker 1: It's been the old dogs, the old knows that are 606 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: getting it done right and in really impressive. I mean, 607 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: you look at Justin Mattebik too. I mean, this is 608 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: just a young player who power power, power power, I mean, 609 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: just a freak athletically putting it all together. You see 610 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: again kind of him be able to win in a 611 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: variety of ways. But kind of to your point about 612 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, which I think is a good one and 613 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: I think really speaks to the kind of Raven's approach 614 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: of everybody's getting in on the action. Is when you 615 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: watch the tape. You see players like lining up a everywhere. 616 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: Justin Adabiue is lined up on the edge and he 617 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: got a sack from him right as on the edge, 618 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: and you see kind of a heavy power move from him. Impressive. 619 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: But it's also like everybody's throwing like picks and stunts 620 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: for everybody else. I mean, they have Patrick Queen running 621 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: taking out blockers, running a stunt for Michael Pierce to 622 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: loop around, and that's the hit that he got. He 623 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: got flagged on, which I think was a ridiculous call. 624 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: But he got a lick on Ryan Tannehill on a 625 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: stunt opportunity created specifically for him. How often do you 626 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: see stunts creative? They're like, you know what, our nose tackle, 627 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna give him a stunt, right, And 628 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: that just speaks to Mike McDonald, you know, lining, Like 629 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: we're saying, lining guys up in different places, anybody. He 630 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: could be running a stunt for anybody else, Like it's 631 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: just a I think it empowers the pass rushers. And 632 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: we heard this from Genevion. It's like everybody feels like 633 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: I could be the guy to get the sack, right, 634 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: Like I have a role in the pass rush. I'm 635 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: not just setting somebody else up all the time like 636 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: I have my chances. And I think that invigorates players. 637 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: I think that gets them, you know, excited, right, They're like, yeah, 638 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some plays designed for me to try 639 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback. And it's just and he's 640 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: bringing it from every different angle. So I think there's 641 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: just a lot of praise to go all the way around. 642 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: Well, look, Matt a BK, I think we did our 643 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: season prediction pot I had to go back and listen 644 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: to it. I think I picked him to lead the 645 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 2: team in sacks. I think he did, and he's got 646 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 2: four and a half. He leads the team right now. 647 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, like he's he if he 648 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: keeps us up the brinks truck, better better get ready 649 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 2: because he's gonna have a big pay day in his future. 650 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 2: I mean big time. I mean to get that type 651 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: of sack production from an interior pass rusher. He's in 652 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: a contract season and he has a big payday in 653 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: his future. Yeah, so if he keep a couple and 654 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 2: then and then with Clowney, like you know, just we 655 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 2: you you've heard it when Clowney joined the podcast. He 656 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: talked about basically his role in Cleveland was just to 657 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: pay play opposite of Miles Garrett and just and then 658 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 2: Miles Garrett moved all over the place and did the 659 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: creative stuff and he was the guy that was set 660 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: up to get the sacks and Clowney was not. And 661 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: I think he is, to your point, excited about the 662 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 2: opportunity to be featured in a variety of different ways, 663 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 2: and the Ravens are getting a lot out of him. 664 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 2: I mean, the pressure rate that he had in this game, 665 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: nine pressures. It was the highest pressure rate of his career. 666 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 2: If his entire career is form a number one overall 667 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 2: pick at least in terms of the in terms of 668 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 2: the next gen stats, that's as far as they go back, 669 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: so as far as they've been keeping track, this is 670 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 2: the highest of his career. And honestly, like when you 671 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: look at his season, I know I'm putting the cart 672 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 2: before the horse here, but like this, this he has 673 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 2: set up a foundation that if he keeps us up, 674 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 2: this could be the best season of his career. It 675 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 2: could be. He's got three and a half sacks right now. 676 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: Remarkable. I mean, he like he said, it's about health 677 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: for him, right, goal number one. He's even pretty clear 678 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: I want to play all seventeen right if he does that, 679 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: like yeah, And I think the Ravens are doing a 680 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: good job managing his snaps too, and especially once you 681 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: get a Dafe back, you know, you get a job 682 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: of back whenever that is, that'll help to keep him 683 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: kind of fresh, because I do think that's a consideration. Yeah, 684 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, he plays pretty recklessly like he he he's 685 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: like John Harball said, the dreads are flying everywhere. I mean, 686 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: the dude is just really active, and I think managing 687 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: his snaps will be a priority going Yeah. 688 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 2: I mean, look, this is the guy that's had major, 689 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 2: major injury history, and so you don't want him playing 690 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: seventy snaps a game, and at his age, you just don't. 691 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 2: You need you need to protect against that. But I 692 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 2: just think like he has he's got three and a 693 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 2: half sacks right now. He could have he could have six, 694 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 2: like and he was the first to say that, Like, 695 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 2: he could certainly have more. So if he keeps playing 696 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 2: like this, he's he it could be hit the best 697 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: season of his career. So I've been, I have been. 698 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 2: He I would be lying if I said I expected 699 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: him to be as disruptive consistently as he has been 700 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 2: when the Ravens signed him. He's been a great addition 701 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 2: to this team. 702 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: Yep, quickly. I just want to point out two other 703 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: defensive plays because I can't get through a film breakdown 704 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: podcast without talking about Patrick Queen and roquons Man. 705 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 706 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: Right, and so you got Taj Spears on the running 707 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: back screen. He takes his sixty three yards and any 708 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: kid out there, you know, playing football or you know what, 709 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: this is just a lesson for people in life, for 710 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: the youth in life. Right when you get knocked down, 711 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: get back up and keep on hustling. Right, Roquand just 712 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: gets put right on his back and he just kind 713 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: of flips back up to his feet, keeps running with 714 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: the play he ran six He ran sixty three yards 715 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: down the field to make that tackle and save a 716 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: touchdown ended up being a field goal. It hit nearly 717 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: eighteen miles per hour by the way Roqwan is moving. Yeah, 718 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: And I tell you it's just like when you talk 719 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: about hustle plays and Roquan talks about man, I only 720 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: played the game one way hundred ten miles per hour 721 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: every single play, right, and you see it on that one. 722 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: So tip of the captain, Roquan. That was pretty impressive. 723 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: I thought to the play. Did you notice the play 724 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: at the two minute warning when he let the guy 725 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: get back up and then he tackled Yep, that killed 726 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: the two minute warning for them. Took a play off 727 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: the board. Really smart play. So, I mean you just 728 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: see the smarts, the hustle, Like we know what kind 729 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: of player Roquon is, but to see that stuff on 730 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: the field, right, see all the stuff we talk about, like, oh, 731 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: this guy just his knowledge for the game, the hustle, 732 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff like those are two plays that perfectly 733 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: illustrate it. Yeah, and then Patrick Queen hit the sideline 734 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: the sideline speed, I mean, this guy is playing like 735 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: a missile out there. He saved another touchdown where he 736 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: was all the way on the other side of the field, 737 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: came back across the field to make a tackle on 738 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: Chris Moore to stop him short on the Texans first 739 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: drive of the game. Not the Texans, the Titans first 740 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: drive of the game. I thought that was a really 741 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 1: impressive play. I thought, PQ, you know another guy who 742 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: had a sack when trying to set it up for 743 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: somebody else, and you got the sack himself. I thought 744 00:33:58,840 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: PQ had a great game. 745 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 2: Other guy get the truck ready, yep. The breastrug for 746 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 2: both those guys, him and made Bike. You know they're 747 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 2: they're gonna have big paydays in their future. I mean, 748 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,439 Speaker 2: just this is just a kind of a side note. 749 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty those two guys at draft class 750 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 2: looking pretty good. You know that that that class with 751 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 2: those two. 752 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: But I can't finish talking about the defense without giving 753 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: my no. He got to the game, the no no. 754 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: We got to give it to our guy clown the no. 755 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 2: I like it. That's a good too, you know. I 756 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 2: I I talked to him. He was my interview after 757 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 2: the game, and I I thought it was a good 758 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 2: point that he made that, Like I just forgot that 759 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 2: he was on the Titans. I just forgot that he 760 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 2: was on and and he was a little bit motivated 761 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,959 Speaker 2: by that. Whenever you go up against the former team 762 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 2: that you want to play your best, and so he 763 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 2: was motivated by that. And yeah, I again, he's having 764 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 2: a great, great start at the season, and I just 765 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 2: I hope he can keep it up. 766 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: Yep. All right. I want to remind listeners that the 767 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: best offense is a good defense. We're sitting here talking 768 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 1: about defense. Don't cross the tracks when a train is approaching, 769 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: and adhere to all crossing signals. When you leave the game, 770 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: please be aware of the railroad tracks south of the stadium. 771 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: Stay safe around train tracks. All right. We got this 772 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: game against the the Lions coming up. We gotta be 773 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: safe on the train tracks. Yea, all right, you don't 774 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: want to. Yeah. The only train that should be happening 775 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: in the UH in this game is GUS bus just 776 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: coming downhill. Sure, just training people. 777 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 2: You're confusing your your vehicles there, the bus. 778 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: The train whatever, all right, he's coming downhill. If you 779 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: get on the gus bus tracks, it's not gonna be 780 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: good either. Yeah, all right. Before we close it out 781 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: here today, just a few updates that we heard from 782 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: head coach John Harball on Monday. Marcus Williams he's week 783 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: to week with a hamstring injury, so we'll see how 784 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: long that holds him out a little bit more uncertain 785 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: news about Tyas Vowser UH. John Harball said he has 786 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: a decision to make on what's gonna happen this year. 787 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: He said he wanted to let Tyas talk about that, 788 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: but he's been on the non football injury list with 789 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: a knee issue since the beginning of the season, since 790 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: the beginning of training camp and hasn't come off, so, 791 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, not really a good sign for Tyas Bowser 792 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: that he about the possibility that he could come back 793 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: anytime soon. So we'll see what that's all about. Brent 794 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: Irvin has a next stinger. Then we have Harrison. He's 795 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: clearing the concussion protocol pretty fast. John Harball said, there's 796 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: just kind of big deal. Leak's playing pretty well and 797 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 1: he's a key outside linebacker in this rotation. And then 798 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: Kevon Seymour is also dealing with an injury that one 799 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: looks like of the three, maybe that could sign the 800 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: sideline him. We'll see this week. The Ravens outed not 801 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: to take the buy this week. That's kind of the 802 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,879 Speaker 1: challenge teams are though you would think coming back from 803 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: London it's a challenge. Teams so far have been nine 804 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: and four when not taking the buy after their international trip. 805 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: So not as bad as you would think. I feel 806 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: kind of rested, so not feeling too bad and John 807 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: Harball lastly said the next time the Ravens have an 808 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: international trip, he expects to also leave early for that one. 809 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: So that's it for us today.
