1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by draftkings. Ravens are coming

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: off a brutal, and I'm talking brutal. This one's gonna

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Affect Your sleep for a few days loss to the dolphins,

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: forty two to thirty eight. Dolphins scored twenty eight points

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, storm back from a one deficit

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: entering the fourth quarter to shock the ravens at the end. Garrett,

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: speaking of sleep, how well did you sleep after that one? Well,

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: the only good news on that front is that I

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: don't sleep anyway. Yeah, because I have a one month

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: old baby at home. So, uh, my, my sleep can't

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: get much worse. So this didn't really have any bearing

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: on that. Uh, but I'll tell you what it's not.

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: It is not a size about Monday. It is it

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: is a disappointing Monday. Um. And we'll try to go

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: through this game and kind of break down what we saw,

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: what went wrong, what went right. Um, and we also

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: have some emails to get through over the course of

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: this show because I think that there's you know, the listeners,

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: based on some of the emails that came flowing in

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: last night. UH, people want to commiserate together after a

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: loss like that. I was. I was misery loves company.

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: After the game I was picked up dinner and, uh,

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: a guy came out to me and he asked if

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I was already Garrett from the Ravens, and I said Yeah,

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: and he said you just have a minute to talk.

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: That's like exactly. I was like you just want to

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: commiserate about that game. was like yeah, man, I can't

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: believe that. So we talked briefly, Um, and then I

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: had to get you know, I had to get back

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: into that one month old baby. But Um, that kind

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: of thing sums up the mood after a game like that,

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: like you just want to try to figure out what happened,

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: what went wrong, and Um, yeah, misery loves company. Well,

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: one thing wrong with that story also is that you're

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: you're picking up dinner after a game. Did you not

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: eat enough in the press box? What do you what

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: do you will? I always try to ask my first mistake.

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: You know, I always try to limit the press box food,

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: because you can go to I always get the first

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: quarter of Nachos, as long time listeners know, but I

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: will I hesitate on eating too much after that because

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: it just ends up making me I'll overdo it and

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: I'll feel sick. So I don't eat too much during

44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: the game. You don't go postgame pizza. The postgame pizza

45
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: is always a terrible idea, always a terrible idea. I

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: just I just I needed it after that when I

47
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I know this is a

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: terrible idea, but I mean when you're eating the postgame

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: pizza you're like regretting it as you're eating it. You

50
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: don't even get any satisfaction. Well, that game had tons

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: of regrets. It was like misery pizza. So you just

52
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: double down on the bad decision. So let's start with

53
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: the defense this week and you tell me. Obviously the

54
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: secondary had major issues in the second half, particularly the

55
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. What went wrong in the secondary? Well, I

56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: think it was a combination of factors um I mean

57
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: one obviously being that the ravens are thin in the

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: secondary right. So you lose Kyle Fuller in week one

59
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: for the season. Marlon Humphrey is dealing with a groin

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: issue that popped up midweek. You know he played only

61
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: what was it? How many percent of the snaps here?

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Let me get it here. Marlon Humphrey played of the snaps.

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: He wasn't in on the field at all for the

64
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: dolphins game winning drive Um, so he's, you know, kind

65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: of limited right Marcus Peters is working his way back

66
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: into action. In his first game back from the knee injury,

67
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: he played sixty two percent of the snaps. So you

68
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: know you're you're relying on a couple of rookies. Jail

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: and armor Davis played, Pepe Williams played, and so I

70
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: think when you're you're rolling different guys in there so much,

71
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: there has a there's a possibility, higher possibility certainly for

72
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: communication problems, and that's what everybody was kind of pointing to,

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: uh as being the problem on the two long touchdowns

74
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: to tyreek kill. You know, obviously is the busted one

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: with armor Davis where you know he was just feet

76
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: looked like they were in cement. Tyreek Hill just ran

77
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: right past them right and no coverage over the top.

78
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: So there's obviously a bust like to me, to me

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: like when I see that play, like I don't I

80
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: didn't look at that. It was like, man, and this

81
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: is what it's always difficult sometimes to assess, you know,

82
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: because you don't know the play call and all that.

83
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: But like Jalen Armor Davis didn't even look like he

84
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: tried to cover U Tyreek Hill deep down the field.

85
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: It looked like he was like and hesing. It was

86
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: what it looked like to me. Maybe he made a

87
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: mistake and he shouldn't have passed them off. Or maybe

88
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: whoever was supposed to have help over the top one

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: of the safeties wasn't there for whatever reason. I don't

90
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: know why, but that to me seemed like some sort

91
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: of communication breakdown. Yeah, for sure. And and you know,

92
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: I talked about how, you know you have these rookies

93
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: that are playing and stuff like that, and none of

94
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: this is an excuse. That's not an excuse, right. I

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: mean if you're playing, if you're on the field snaps

96
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's you try to like think

97
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: of all the possible. You know wise, right. And I

98
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: even said to Jalen Armor Davis half of the game,

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: I was like, well, you know, it's your your first

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: game playing in front of this big crowd, Empty Bank

101
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Stadium and it gets loud and and you know that

102
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: makes communication more difficult. And he basically was like you know,

103
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: you know, I played at Alabama. You know so it

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: gets a little loud there too, when you're on defense,

105
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: and so like prohapsn't like. There's no excuses. You can't.

106
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: You just can't have that. I don't care if you're

107
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: a rookie, I don't care if you're just got signed

108
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: off the street three days earlier or whatever. You can't

109
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: have it. But when you have younger players, you probably

110
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: have a higher likelihood of mistakes like that happening. Right,

111
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: young rookies make mistakes and and or or whoever. Right,

112
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: maybe he didn't get the call. I'm not saying it

113
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: was necessarily even his mistake. I don't know, but all

114
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying is when you're shuffling corners and you go

115
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: down and you you're further down your depth chart, well,

116
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: the higher likelihood for mistakes there is, right, and so

117
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: that certainly seemed to be a problem on that. I

118
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: mean the other the other tyreek hill, a long touchdown.

119
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: He just I mean part of it is it's tyreek Hill. Yeah,

120
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: he's like one of the fastest players, maybe the fastest player, right,

121
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: and so we've seen this story with tyreek Hill unfortunately

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: too many times. Right. I mean the dude is just

123
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: out of this world. And so he got behind Marcus Peters,

124
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: who is back from his first game from a C

125
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: L and even a fully healthy pre knee injury. Marcus

126
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: Peters might not be able to, say, keep up with

127
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill on a deep post right, and especially first

128
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: game back. Shaking off the rust, Marcus Peters was not right.

129
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: and Um, he wasn't able to recover and close fast enough,

130
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: even though that ball kind of floated a little bit. Um.

131
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: And then the third thing is really he shouldn't be

132
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: in that position. Marcus Peters, with with that big a lead,

133
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: the lead that the Ravens had, should not be in

134
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: that position where you're going one on one on a

135
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: man coverage on tyreek hill, trying to keep up with

136
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: him every top just shouldn't happen. Right, just should not happen.

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: You need to have high safety is in that situation.

138
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: You need to be saying they're they're gonna have to

139
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: complete ten passes down the field to get in this

140
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: end zone. There's no way we're gonna give up bombs

141
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: to tyreek kill, the most explosive player in the right

142
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: I think. I think that's like when you have that

143
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: twenty one point lead in the fourth quarter. You're sitting there,

144
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: first of all, you're feeling pretty good, especially after that

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Lamar run. That's what like just totally six stings. Amongst

146
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: other things about this game, like after that Lamar run,

147
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: it was a party at Mt Bank stadium, like the

148
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: the M v P chance. Well, I had my I

149
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: had my cake. We'll we'll get to that in a second.

150
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: We'll get to that a little bit later. But it

151
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: was a party in there. And you basically like, if

152
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna give up some points to the dolphins, like

153
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: you're saying, make him, make him go the long way,

154
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: make him be a seven, eight, ten play drive that

155
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: takes up six minutes of clock. The one thing that

156
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: you couldn't have was quick strike place, you know, fifty yards,

157
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: sixty yard bombs to the fastest player in the league,

158
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: like the that's the one thing you can happen. That's

159
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: what the Ravens gave up twice Um, and so just

160
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: to see that happen was just I was I was

161
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: shocked because, you know, we all said, we both said,

162
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: that we thought this defense would be a top five defense.

163
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: It's only a second game. They still could be. Um,

164
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: but to have a game when you give up six

165
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns to to uh, you know, four d plus yards,

166
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: and that, you know, that one point lead in the

167
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter is shocking. We got an email and you, guys,

168
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: if you want to kind of, you know, commiserate with

169
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: us over the course of this week, you can do that.

170
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: You can email us of the lounge at Ravens on

171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: NFL DOT net. Kyle Ryker emailed us and just the

172
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: subject line was pain, just pain. I think that sums

173
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: it up pretty well. Kyle said, I'm just so disappointed.

174
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: I definitely recognize it's a long season. It's just one game.

175
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: The thing is this was supposed to be the thing

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: that we overcame from last year. It just feels like

177
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: more of the same. It doesn't seem like we're gonna

178
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: be able to cover the deep ball again and I

179
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: believe this will be an issue all season long. Again.

180
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to believe it will be front and we'll

181
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: learn from it, but it's a bit harder to believe

182
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: since we've all seen this before. Anyway, I just needed

183
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: to express how I felt. This definitely hurts. Thanks, guys.

184
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: So what do you think? Is Kyle onto something? I mean,

185
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: I think one point on that like. I think it's

186
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: just gonna become more challenging because the secondary that we

187
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: all talked about being, you know, much deeper this year

188
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: suddenly isn't so deep and you kind of covered that

189
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: with some of the injuries, but now they're piling up.

190
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: We'll see how long this groin injury lingers from Marlon hunprey.

191
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: IS HE gonna Miss Time? is he able to play

192
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: through it? You know, Pepe Williams goes down late in

193
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: the game. Um, you know, he seemed to be okay,

194
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: walked off, Um, but ankle. But sometimes an ankle, you know,

195
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: the next day it swells up and you might miss

196
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: a week or two, especially at that position. You already

197
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: lost Kyle Fuller, Brandon Stevens didn't play, and so like,

198
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: you could be in a situation, if you know, you

199
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: could be in a situation next week where you're look

200
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: at Jyalen Armor Davis, Daryl Worley and Marcus Peters being

201
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: your top three corners and don't I don't know who

202
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: would be the fourth in that situation. You know, we'll see.

203
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: That's like, you know, hopefully those guys are all able

204
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: to play and and it's that's not an issue. But

205
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: that to me is yeah, injuries, injuries are right. That's

206
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: kind of the you know, rolling it forward is like

207
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I think. I think once the Ravens, if the Ravens

208
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: are at quote unquote full strength, which they won't be.

209
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean they lost s Kyle Fuller for the year, right.

210
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: But like my my feeling, and and I certainly understand

211
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: having doubts about this after what we saw yesterday, but

212
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Ravens secondary is going to

213
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: finish thirty second the league like it did last year,

214
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: or even close. Yeah, I just don't. I think that

215
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Marcus Williams is a stud I mean the guy had

216
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Should have had three. The third one would

217
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: have sealed the game, right. The one, the easiest of

218
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: the day, bounced in his hands like that. Dude has

219
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: some serious range. He, I think, will do a good

220
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: job of covering things over the top. To me, it

221
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: wasn't like a failure on his part. I mean, again,

222
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: we don't know what the play calls were. We're gonna

223
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: have to watch the all twenty two, but it didn't

224
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: seem like there was like he took a bad angle

225
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: or whatever. He didn't play it right over the top,

226
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: like it just seemed like he wasn't in that position

227
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: or had that assignment right. Um. So it wasn't like

228
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: I didn't see a failure on his part right, like, oh,

229
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: the ravens don't have good enough players back there to

230
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: cover the deep right. That is the interesting thing, like,

231
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, Marcus Williams had a terrific game and then

232
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: when you have a fourth quarter like that, you're like, well,

233
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: where's the safety? Is is the safety of problem? But

234
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: I agree, it's not like he was. You didn't really

235
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: see him chasing behind tyree Kale very often, um, and

236
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: so it like it was did he have any misshaps?

237
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters looked like he was on a island right right.

238
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: It looked. It didn't look like Marcus ways in the

239
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: wrong place. It is so disappointed because you know, he

240
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,239
Speaker 1: has his two interceptions, which were incredible plays both of them,

241
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: and then the in me that just pops right into

242
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: his hands. That really would have sealed the game. Like that,

243
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: to me, is one of the things that's so frustrating

244
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: about this game is there was kind of like, I

245
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: don't know, three or four moments that really would have

246
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: sealed it like you had these. I had five Williams.

247
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: The Williams would have been interception. The Isaiah likely passed

248
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: that dropped off down where there's a holding that was

249
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: then picked up. How about getting into the end zone

250
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: on the eight teen play drive? That one probably would

251
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: have fourth down. You know, the Fune bowle there early

252
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: in the game. Uh, the fourth and one, fourth and

253
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: one at the forties something. I had that one. Oh well,

254
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: you think about that, you think, but I had those

255
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: four and three of those relate in the game, which

256
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: is so frustrating because it's like if you had just

257
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: been able to convert another first down, you probably get

258
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 1: off the field if you had just been able to

259
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: come up with that interception, then you get the stop.

260
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Um Oh oh, here's the fifth one. Was the Gasecki touchdown. Hey,

261
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: just a ridiculous catch. Just I thought that as soon

262
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: as two of let go of that ball, I was

263
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: like that's through the uprights and Gasecki climbed the ladder

264
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: and then like not reviewing. That was a was a

265
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: surprise to me. Not You know, the stadium, an angle

266
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: in the stadium. For listeners who aren't who weren't there,

267
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: that looked like he was out. It looks like he

268
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: was out from the stadium angle that they quickly showed. Um.

269
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: The broadcast angle didn't show that. I don't know if

270
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: he was in or out, but I would have liked

271
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: them to take another look at it. Like what, what's

272
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: the what's the rush to confirm that? They took their

273
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: sweet time on Lamar Jackson. Fumble or not fumble, but

274
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: goal line. Stop that to me. I'm still waiting to

275
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: see a conclusive ball you know, is not over the

276
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: goal line. Uh Angle. I'm still waiting for that. It's

277
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: spent justin fields. Let's talk about these goal line replays.

278
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean I'm still looking for the conclusive one. That

279
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: didn't show that. Now listeners told me ad looks like

280
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: it's he's not, and maybe he was. I couldn't see

281
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: the ball conclusively, but after you spend what was it

282
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: seemed like a half an hour looking dissecting every angle

283
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: of that one, to not even take a look at

284
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: the Gasecki touchdown was surprising. I totally agree. I don't

285
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: want to get off on a tangent and I also

286
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: don't want to sound like that guy that just always

287
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: complains about the refs, but is there? Is there no

288
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: D P I on Hail Mary's? Is that just off

289
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: the table? I mean I understand there's always jockeying, but

290
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: that one de Bateman, like when when Lamar let go

291
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: of that ball and I see Bateman one on one

292
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: rate on the goal line. I'm like they got a

293
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: shot at this and Bateman big boys, this guy, he

294
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: might have one. And then Bathman just got tossed and

295
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: and so DPI is just off the tables, just off

296
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: the table. On haw Mary's apparently you can just throw everything.

297
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: I think that the the I don't know the level.

298
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: There's a higher bar. There's a higher bar. I understand,

299
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: but you can't just be towsome. You tell you. Bateman

300
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: wasn't happy. That was right in front of me on

301
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: the sideline at the end and I was thinking, oh

302
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, it goes up in the air and you

303
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: get one on one covers on a hill Mary, which

304
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: is like never happens. I don't know how like the

305
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: balls in the air, you're like Whoa one on one

306
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: away from everybody else with your normal one receiver. This

307
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: is great, Um, I'll take and he was unhappy about that. Clearly,

308
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: um he felt like it was past interference. So were you,

309
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: were you working the rest? I would would have been

310
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: what do we send you down to the side? you

311
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: run out there, throw, you know, kicked up dirt. Yeah,

312
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: yeahs on Earl Weaver, O, man. What are we sending

313
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: you down there? Yeah, I mean it, I don't know.

314
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: I I get what you're saying. I honestly feel like

315
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't want, I don't want to believe it him. Mary,

316
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: you got to tackle the guy. Sure get yours. I

317
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: see what your strategy is gonna be if I ever

318
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: go up and a Hail Mary and flag Um. Alright. So,

319
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: so a couple of other things on the defense to

320
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: me that I think need to be pointed out. Well, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,

321
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: because I just want to go back also and say

322
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: about the secondary and why I don't feel like it's

323
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: like broken. Right. Let's also remember that Marcus Williams second

324
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: interception was exactly what you want to see on taking

325
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: away the deep balls, right. That was a bomb to

326
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: tyreek hill down the sideline. He made the play right, drags,

327
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: made a tough catch, dragged the toe like so like.

328
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: The Ravens are certainly capable of doing this. I think

329
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: to our point. It's about getting healthy. It's about having

330
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey healthy, it's about having Mark Marcus Peters closer

331
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: to a pcent. And once that happens, like the talent, really,

332
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, ravens start loosing right right. If it

333
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, I'm concerned. Oh, if the Ravens lose more

334
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: corners or those guys aren't healthy, I am legit concerned.

335
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: I just I think that if they are, I'm I'm not,

336
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm not hitting the panic button on but that's if

337
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: that's an if health is very important in this game,

338
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: as we all know, next year on my man roster,

339
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm keeping the seriously, seriously, I'm just, I'm just it's

340
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: twenty corners. Twenty corners on the ninety man doesn't so

341
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: one thing that, you know, I think over two games

342
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: that has been, especially this game, that I've been a

343
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: little surprised by, you know, the pressure. There hasn't been

344
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: the pressure that I expected up front. On yesterday on tour,

345
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: he only he was sacked once through the ball fifty times.

346
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: And you know, I think when we did our season

347
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: breakout or our season predictions, I think I had AFE

348
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: always breakout player. I can't remember if if I definitely did,

349
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: but I think I did and he well, we both,

350
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: I think, have as defensive MV pick and he and

351
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: he has, you know, no sacks through two games. Um.

352
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: I just I expected him to be more of a

353
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: of a game record um than he has been early on.

354
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: Now it's only two games and I think he still

355
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: got a ton of talent and you can do that.

356
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: But you know, yesterday when when two is dropping back

357
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: there and has time to to heed the ball deep

358
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: to tyreek hill, I just would expect more pressure in

359
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: his face, especially on some situations where they were bringing heat.

360
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: You know, like one thing tyreek Hill said was that,

361
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, on his I think it was his second

362
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: touchdown when the Ravens are up fourteen, it was a

363
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: cover zero blitz Um. That's what he saw and you

364
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: know they're still not getting to him. And so when

365
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: you're bringing pressure in those situations and you're not getting

366
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: to him, that's the bad Combo Um. That's I don't know,

367
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: what's your level of concern on the pass rush right now?

368
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Ravens are super thin the line outside linebacker. They lost

369
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: Stephen Means Um and there. You know, they seem to

370
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: not be getting the type of pressure from that spot

371
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: that you would hope. Yeah, I'm I'm concerned about that,

372
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: you know. And I think another point to bring up

373
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: in that regard is the Ravens have faced two backup

374
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: right tackles the best two weeks, right, and so you

375
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: would especially think, all right, you know, like both games

376
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: I went into kind of licking my chops, saying here

377
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: we go, always gonna he's gonna just ball out on

378
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: these dudes, and we haven't seen it, and so that

379
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: is concerning that. I'd have to go back and really

380
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: kind of watch the tape from this to see whether

381
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: the dolphins were Max protecting and saying tyreek's fast enough, whatever.

382
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: As long as we max protect and give to a

383
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: little bit of time, that guy'll get behind anybody, right,

384
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: and so I have to see that. I mean, I

385
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: talked to it off a last week and he talked

386
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: about how that was the most double teams he's ever

387
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: seen and all that stuff, which could very well be

388
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: the case, right. But here's kind of a counterpoint. Is

389
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: everybody knows von Miller is the bill's best puss pass rusher.

390
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: Everybody knows you know, Joey Bosa and t j watt

391
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: and those guys are the best past rushers on their

392
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: teams and they're still getting sacks. Right. So, like you,

393
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: when you have fifty opportunities, you know, with two a

394
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: throw on the ball that much, do you think the

395
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: Ravens would get more pressure than they did? And part

396
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: of the problem yesterday also was they didn't have the

397
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: same amount of interior pressure that they got in week

398
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: one against the jets. You know, we didn't. We didn't

399
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: see that kind of pass rush up the middle to

400
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: really force him backwards or or and we didn't see

401
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: too I have to step up in the pocket from

402
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: the outside rush. We just did. He just wasn't very affective.

403
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean he got sacked once and took one other

404
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: quarterback hit, and so I thought that that was going

405
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: to be a key to this game in in limiting

406
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: to a and Jalen or not to a tyreeke and

407
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: Jalen waddles big plays. was well, if two is just

408
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: feeling that heat right up in his face, he's gonna

409
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: be wanting to get this ball out fast. That's what

410
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: he really wants to do. And and you know they

411
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: can kind of limit those big plays in that way.

412
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: Right like the secondary and the pass rush go hand

413
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: in hand, and so you know, a lot of people

414
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: obviously are talking about the breakdowns in the secondary, but

415
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: I think that this pass rush does certainly shoulder some

416
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: of that burden because too, it just had way too

417
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: much time to be back there and launching. I totally agree.

418
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: So we want fans to know that the sports landscape

419
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: is always changing and this week is no different. The

420
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,119

422
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: are looking to have skin in the game. So this

423
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: is simple. Every player has a salary associated with drafting him.

424
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: You assemble a Ligne of players and then you try

425
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: to stay under the salary cap and you sit back

426
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: and you watch your points pile up. So what you

427

431
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: email I want to get here, um, because it kind

432
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: of speaks to some of these issues that we're talking about,

433
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: both at outside linebacker and in the secondary Owen like

434
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: the emailed us of the lounge at Ravens Dot NFL

435
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: dot net after a heartbreaking loss. Oh, by the way,

436
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: has to get an Isaiah Likely Jersey right. Yeah, you

437
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: have to, you have to. He signed his email and

438
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: the other likely uh, I was calling Isaiah Likely Owen

439
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: stuck in my head for about a for like a

440
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: solid week, and I kept just referring to him his

441
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: own like and I was like, Oh, this is gonna Linger,

442
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: but I think I think I've wiped it clean. We'll

443
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: see if this email starts. Here we go, he says.

444
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: After heartbreaking loss at home, there's a lot of skepticism

445
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: surrounding what was predicted to be a top five defense.

446
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: With the injuries piling up, do you think the Ravens

447
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: will start looking at bringing in a better and free

448
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: agent like Joe Hayden or Jason Pierre Paul? But I

449
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: mean definitely a fair question. Um, definitely a fair question. Yeah,

450
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 1: I think it depends on how bad these injuries are.

451
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: You know, how how bad does Marlin's growing feel this week? Um,

452
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: did Jason Pierre Paul won to me like, and I

453
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: you know he was. He was reportedly in for a visit. Um.

454
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: There was a lot of a lot of smoke there

455
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: during the off season and it never happened. I don't

456
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: know why. I don't know if the rate, if if

457
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens didn't like what they saw, if he didn't

458
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: like what he saw, or if the money just don't

459
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: work out. I have no idea, um, but they're so

460
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: thin outside linebacker, like if I was going to pick one,

461
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: it might be it might be there, especially with now

462
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: you lose Stephen, means you know who was. It's like

463
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: that might be the now you hope that kind of

464
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: reinforcements are on the way with Tias bowser eventually coming

465
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: back and then later in the year David Jabo, but

466
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: what can you expect from those guys right when they

467
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: come back? I don't know. Um. Well, Lee Harrison seems

468
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: like he's just going to convert the full time to

469
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: outside linebacker. He actually played pretty well, but he doesn't

470
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: give you pass a solid game. That I think he's

471
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: been liked him an outside linebacker from a run game standpoint,

472
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: but not as a as a pass rusher. So I

473
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: don't know if you can make the money work out

474
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: on a Jason Pierre Paul Um. You know, he's kind

475
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: of an interesting outside linebacker. He's like a d end

476
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: more than a like, you know what I mean? Than Yeah,

477
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean the good player. I take

478
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: a little pass rush juice. I don't know what the

479
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: money means. Like all right, so you want to flip

480
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: it over talk offense a little bit here. Well, can

481
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: I just point to one other thing? And on the

482
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: on the defense, and I think that's you know, the

483
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: Ravens just need that. They had three rookie dbs that

484
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: played over and and Kyle Hamilton's. I think they're gonna

485
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: need a little bit more from him early on. So far,

486
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: I mean we kind of talked about it off a

487
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's played of the snaps yesterday and after the

488
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: game talked about how, you know, there were definitely some

489
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: mistakes out there. That's somebody that I think that they're

490
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna need to step up here and play, uh, make

491
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: some more plays, you know, and and limit some of

492
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: these mistakes. And and he's got the talent. Certainly. He's

493
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: a kid that studies hard, works hard and I think

494
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: that he's somebody also that could, you know, help them Um,

495
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: get get a little pass rush. You know, he's the

496
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: Jack of all trades. I think that him stepping up

497
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: could also really help kind of turn around the secondary.

498
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: I think it's again it's it's tough to tell kind

499
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: of where breakdowns are happening in the secondary when you

500
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: don't do the play call and all the assignments. You know,

501
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: there's lots of conversations and Kyle Hamilton's right in the

502
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: middle of those conversations after those two long touchdowns Um and,

503
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, again I don't know what the breakdown was,

504
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: but you know, I agree. I think that they want

505
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: to see him make some more plays. I like I

506
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: liked the way he's come up and defended, you know,

507
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: kind of at the last Stramm and she had a

508
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: big hit. Yesterday had to pass into flat for a breakup.

509
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: So there's been flashes. Um, yeah, so, but but I

510
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: do think that they could probably use a little more

511
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: out of him. And and one other point I want

512
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: to make is this defense has played a lot of

513
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: snaps and I don't know if if fatigue or they

514
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: just got gas late in this game, but it's kind

515
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: of the flip side of the fast strike big play offenses. Well,

516
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: they're not and the inability to run the ball is

517
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: the offense is not really keeping the ball for a

518
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: very long time. Possession is kind of out of whack,

519
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: which is leading to a lot of plays for the defense.

520
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean they put what eighties some against the jets, right,

521
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: and yesterday seventy one defensive plays. Like, especially a secondary

522
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: that has injuries kind of piling up. That's a that's

523
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: just a lot of plays. I mean the dolphins possessed

524
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: the ball thirty four, almost thirty five, minutes to the

525
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: Ravens five minutes. That's a big discrepant. Totally right, and

526
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know how how gas they

527
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: were in the fourth quarter or whether that was another factor. Yeah,

528
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: I think that's a fair point, Um, and that kind

529
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: of that that's a natural transition to the offense because,

530
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to it's hard to rag on

531
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: the offense too much on a day we score thirty

532
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: five points, Um. But I think the concern with the

533
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: offense is something that you and I did discuss. Um.

534
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: A concern with the offense is something that you and

535
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: I talked about coming into the season is the lack

536
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: of the ability to run the football. Now you look

537
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: at the run total and you're like hey, not too bad,

538
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: but that's because you got a seventy nine yard run

539
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: from your quarterback. Um. The called run game with the

540
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: running backs is just completely ineffective through two games. It's

541
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: very reminiscent of last year. Kenyan drake six carries, eight yards,

542
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: Mike Davis five carries, four yards. You know those two guys.

543
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: Eleven carries for twelve yards. Well, it's fourteen. The ravens

544
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: running backs fourteen yards, two yards of pop. I'm not

545
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Mark Andrews had one carry for three yards,

546
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: so he was over the two yards per carry. Mark

547
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Card had one for five. So the running backs

548
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: are behind the full back and the tight end and

549
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 1: yards per carrying. And so when you when you you had,

550
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: they had, the Ravens had a chance to put the

551
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: game away if, if they could run the ball. Yesterday,

552
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: and credits to the dolphins for like a lot of

553
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: times that's when teams just kind of lay down and

554
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: they just games over. Down Twenty one points the fourth

555
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: quarter and they didn't do it. Um. But if you

556
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: can run the ball and pick up two or three

557
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: first downs and that game would have been over. But

558
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. And there were multiple situations yesterday

559
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: where the Ravens just needed a yard or two and

560
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. And that to me was like,

561
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: wells completely ineffective, completely ineffective, really, really, whether it's from

562
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: the goal line, Um, you know, or the fourth down,

563
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, situation, Um, so that you need to be

564
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: able to run the football to pick up a yard

565
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: like that just has to happen. And Greg Rowing offense,

566
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: you have to be able to pick the rains of traditionally. Yeah,

567
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens have traditionally been really good in that scenario. Right,

568
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: you go. You know, quarterback power, uh, is pretty reliable.

569
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: Even that wasn't even that wasn't working. Um, to not

570
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: be able to get that doom the ravens. I mean

571
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 1: it took seven points off the board. The Ravens had

572
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: five cracks at at the goal line on their second

573
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: on their what was it their second offensive drive or

574
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: first offensive drive? Five cracks at it from inside the

575
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: five yard line. You have to be able to get

576
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: that in, uh, you know. Now, should they have mixed

577
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: in a little something else in that instead of kind

578
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: of hammering with the run game. Sure, that's fair to say.

579
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: Maybe they should have tried to work in a pass there.

580
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: WORKED PRETTY WELL ON THE MARKET Andrews one yard or

581
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: where he was wide open. Mark Jackson floated it to

582
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: him right. But besides that, execution wasn't there either. And

583
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: I think to me the problem is, you know, you've

584
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: got you've got guys that just aren't getting moved off

585
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. They're just not moving people up front,

586
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: just not and and the concerning thing to me, you know,

587
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: when when we're talking about big concerns coming out of

588
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: this game, I think there's really two and then a third. Right,

589
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: the big one obviously is the secondary and then you

590
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: have the run game and the pass rush. I think

591
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: if I'm ranking my concern levels right now with the

592
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: three of those, those trouble spots, I'm putting the run

593
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: game at the top. I'm putting run game, Secondary Pass

594
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: rush in that order. And my concern with the run

595
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: game is this. It's gonna get better when J K

596
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: Dobbins is on the field. No doubt J K is

597
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: a baller. Right, that will help, and and Ronnie Stanley Right.

598
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: But really, your other four starting offensive linemen are in

599
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: place right and and your tight end, you're blocking tight end,

600
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 1: which Nick Boyle, has been a healthy scratch so far,

601
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: which is, you know, not what we expected, right. So

602
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: is is he going to be all of a sudden

603
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: back to the dominant self self that he was before?

604
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, the Ravens don't feel like

605
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: he's there yet, obviously, or they would have activated him Um.

606
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: And so, like, if you're talking about the other four

607
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and you're blocking tight end, those pieces are

608
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: there and they can certainly gel and improve and and

609
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But like it's not like the secondary

610
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: where you have these injuries and guys hobbled and you're

611
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: already to your backups really, and so you know they're

612
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: not gonna run off the left side every single time

613
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: when Ronnie Stanley gets back. You know, the past protection

614
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: has been good. I think that was really played a

615
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: role in Lamar Jackson having a really good day, but

616
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: the run blocking has been a problem so far, which

617
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: is surprising. The thing that makes me not, you know,

618
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: puss hitting the panic button is that this is a

619
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: Greg Roman offense and Greg Roman is pretty good at

620
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: scheming out the run game. And so I give him

621
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubts and kind of figure this out.

622
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: But if they can't run the ball, trouble. It's I

623
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: if I were doing those at the top three, I

624
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: would put the secondary, then the run game, then the

625
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: pass rush. That's all hinges on the help. Yeah, I

626
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: just think that. So with the run game, Yes, I

627
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: think J K Dobbins will make a difference, but you know,

628
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens have been cautious and slow in his recovery.

629
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: So when he returns, like he's not going to carry

630
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: the ball twenty times, like what's what's what's his what's

631
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: his first week back look like? Ten carries, seven carries, Um,

632
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: and then so. So then you're still counting on the

633
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: other running backs. You know what can what? When does

634
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: Ronnie Standley get on the field? That's a great unknown.

635
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: When he does get on the field, is he a

636
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,239
Speaker 1: dent right away? I don't know. So, like, those are

637
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: questions that I that I still have. Um and I'm

638
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I agree with you, like Greg Romans, track records says

639
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: that the Ravens are gonna be to run the ball,

640
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: but he'll be able to scheme up enough. You know,

641
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: action in the run game to have success, but through

642
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: two games it's been slow going. Um. But again, it's

643
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 1: hard for me to rag on the offense too much

644
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: on a day where you put up thirty eight points

645
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: and honestly, Lamar Jackson was excellent. Like that's to me

646
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: one of the real disappointments. And I'll we'll really we'll

647
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: read the last email here. This is from Patrick at

648
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: the lounge at Ravens on NFL DOT net. He says

649
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: sad and unacceptable. Bateman, Jackson and Williams all had borderline

650
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: career days which amounted to a big L we failed

651
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: a situational football execution when it when it was needed most.

652
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: This is a total team loss. Um. So I am

653
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: putting this one lamorrow. No, but that's the thing to tea. Yeah,

654
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Lamar was excellent. He just had such

655
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: a good day and, as I mentioned, it was a

656
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: party inside MT BG stadium after that long touchdown and

657
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: the M v P chance for raining down and was

658
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: like I thought that we were going to spend this

659
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: this podcast as a size up Monday talking about where

660
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: Lamar is in the M v P early, early race,

661
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: because it was that kind of a showing from him.

662
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: I thought he was excellent in the pocket. He was patient,

663
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: he allowed plays to open up, he trusted his offensive line,

664
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: he was sharp with the football. He delivered it on

665
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: the money, accurate, everything just yeah, the arm. He flexed

666
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: the arm strength, I thought, on several throws and then

667
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: he showed you then show he still got the wheels

668
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: with the setting. Nine are touchdown. I think he was

669
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: kind of Baiting the corner on that, like can you cook?

670
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Can you get meat now? You can't, you care? And

671
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: then the little of course. I mean that was just

672
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: the you know, the Cherry on top of that play.

673
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: But Um, he just was excellent and so it's just

674
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: so disappointing that, like, you have a game like that

675
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: where he was so good and it's spoiled. For sure. Yeah,

676
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean I'll say this, and I wrote this in

677
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: the breakdown after the game. If Lamar Jackson keeps playing

678
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: like that, the Ravens are gonna be really tough to beat,

679
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: no matter what else happens around him. Right. I mean,

680
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to lose a game when your quarterback plays

681
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: like that like I mean he was he just carried him,

682
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: carried the offense and so like that's the that's the

683
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: thing where I come away not feeling like garbage from

684
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: this game is I'm like, man, you know, the most

685
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: important position on the field is quarterback and the Raven

686
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson is looking nice right. And so if

687
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna play at this level all season long, you're

688
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of wins. Just point blank. You're

689
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: just gonna see a lot of wins. And so that

690
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: was really, really encouraging to see from him. And also,

691
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think there there was talking about his

692
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: seventy nine yard touch on and run. There were there

693
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: was chatter about does the increased weight slow him down

694
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: a little bit in the long speed? Still moving right,

695
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: and so that was that was great to see. I mean, yeah,

696
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: just just a all time or day for Lamar Jackson.

697
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: The Miami blitz tried it early on. Quickly recognized that

698
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: got the ball to Rushat Bateman. He beats him for

699
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: a seventeen yard game. I mean he just he snapped

700
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: the blitz over his knee. You know that whole blitz puzzles.

701
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: He just it was a non factor and something we

702
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: talked a lot about. So kudos to Lamar. He deserves

703
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: everything coming out of this game. Um, you know, just

704
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: all the props in the world. So awesome game by him,

705
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: and I thought blasting on Lamar. Yeah, as the Mare,

706
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: as as the ravens, have this this drive here and

707
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: they're there. You know, third quarter drive. You see cliff

708
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: get a piece of chocolate cake from the kit. Well, yeah,

709
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: do you want mean from the and I guess I

710
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: feel you salivating next to me, and so listeners, me,

711
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: cliff and Ryan all sit next to each other in

712
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: the press box and you couldn't help yourself and you're

713
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: asking all the questions about the cake. How is it?

714
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: It looks good. What do you think? Inc and then

715
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: you jump up and you got to get your piece

716
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: of cake and you missed the most exciting play of

717
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: the game. You're gone. I come back. I come back

718
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: and the stadiums rocking. What I missed? Yeah, that cake

719
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: wasn't worth it. Was Not worth it. But what did

720
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: you think of just the experience of seeing that Lamar

721
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: Jackson touchdown live and in person with your own two eyes?

722
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: I did watch it on does it count? That doesn't count. Well,

723
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: that that's that's the equivalent of me missing the Jacoby

724
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: Jones Um, kick back kickoff return at the Super Bowl.

725
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: Oh Oh, that's that's I mean a hundred times. Were

749
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: So I wanted to shout out Rashad Bateman also. I

750
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: mean that's one takeaway here from the first two weeks

751
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: is Sean Bateman is pretty darn good, you know, and

752
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, Devin Dumana, obviously as a returner. I mean,

753
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: godly you can't that. That was just awesome. That was

754
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: just awesome. Taking the open and kick off back for

755
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown. A great, great moment Um. And and Bateman.

756
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean here's the big thing that I see with

757
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: Rashan Bateman that adds another layer to this offense is

758
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: the run after catchability right. I mean just just a

759
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: lot different than than what we saw from Mark e's Brown,

760
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, point blank right, and and I think that

761
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: threat obviously takes a slant to the house. You see

762
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: the speed everything on that seventy five yard touchdown, but

763
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: that gives the Ravens, I think, an even more dynamic

764
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: weapon with their top receiver. Is Bateman's ability to make

765
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: to pick up yards after the camp. Yeah, I mean

766
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: Bateman has been excellent. I think that. You know, the

767
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: question that's been one of the real bright spots early

768
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: on is, you know, all the receiver chatter during the

769
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: off season and it's been answered. Du Renet has taken

770
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: a step. Hopefully that you know he's ruled out yesterday

771
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: with the concussion. Hopefully that's not something that lingers because

772
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: you know he was such a dynamic player. Um, so

773
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: Bateman has taken a step. He is looks like, you know,

774
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver. You know it Burns Aman

775
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: Howard for that big touchdown. So like he's he's making plays,

776
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: both big plays and, you know, reliable chain moving type plays.

777
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: So he looks like the total package. Du Rene has

778
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: taken a step Mark Andrews is still obviously the same.

779
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: So that that's been a real positive, I think early on.

780
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: Is the play of the receiving corps. Yeah, absolutely. So,

781
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, big picture here. Big Picture, that's a that's

782
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: a loss that really stings but it's weak. Two right.

783
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: And and you hope that the Ravens at the end

784
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: of the year aren't in a position battling for a

785
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: playoff spot where they look back on this one and

786
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: the dolphins are right there in the playoff mix and

787
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: you say, if we had only sealed that week to

788
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: win like we be in or whatever, we get a

789
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: lot better shape. Right, we would have gotten that home

790
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: field advantage, whatever it is. You really hope that that's

791
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: not the case. But it's weak too, and I I

792
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: really like big picture. I have faith, because I've seen

793
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: it in a million times with this team in John

794
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: Harball and these coaches and these players to shake this

795
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: off and rebound and and it's just a mistake that

796
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: I think people make all the time in the media

797
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: NFL business is extrapolating too much from one game to

798
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: the next. Things just wildly change in the NFL all

799
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: the time, all the time, and I just think you

800
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: of course there are some things that you can take

801
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: over and that carry over and whatnot, but like get

802
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: a multiple game trend. Let's look for trends. Right. One

803
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: game often times in the NFL is just an outlier.

804
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: And I and that's honestly how I see the secondary thing,

805
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: barring the injuries. As I said again, if Marlon hunters

806
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: out for four weeks, I retract that statement. Right. I'm

807
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna be whatever, right, but barring the injuries,

808
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: like I think that's an outlier performance from the secondary.

809
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens will shake this off and be

810
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: just fine. They've had other bad losses early in the season,

811
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: week four against the browns in remember that when we're

812
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: Nick Chel ran for like five yards. You know, it

813
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: was a blowout loss and and then the ravens reel

814
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: off whatever. It was totally, totally and so I'm with

815
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: you on that. I think that there's definitely Um. This

816
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: isn't just sugarcoating it. I mean that one stung and

817
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: that it's gonna stay all week long. Um, but it's

818
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: it's far too early to say this is gonna be

819
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: a is gonna doom doom them for the season or

820
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: anything like that. And I also I think that you

821
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: know that we can look back on that and say,

822
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: like you know, there could be a great season, just

823
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: like it wasn't nineteen where you had that early seas

824
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: and loss of the browns and you say, man, you

825
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: know that kind of you figure some things out early

826
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: and then you got hot. So and this, this one hurts.

827
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: This one hurts, but it's a whole lot better than

828
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: getting smoked, than getting just blown out. That's always a debate.

829
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: That's always the debate. Would you rather lose by one

830
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: or would you rather get blown out? Emotionally right, like

831
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: you're getting blown out. It doesn't have the emotional sting, right,

832
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: but that's a sign of cancer. You get blown out,

833
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: you got some cancerous you know, cancer in the body, right,

834
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: that if you get you get stunk. This is a

835
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: beast thing. This is a wasp. What's the worst beast?

836
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't Cornet Right, that one rub some dirt on it,

837
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 1: bounced right. That's one. I agree with your the sentiment there,

838
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: but I do think that this is one of the

839
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: ratings can certainly recover from Um, you know, but they're

840
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure some things out. So we're gonna work.

841
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: You know, if you haven't, if you didn't realize this,

842
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: we did have a video, our first ever video podcast,
