1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan Mink

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: here with cliff Don Brown, and we are going to

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: preview the Ravens big Thursday night football game against the

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, the Purple Rising Game. Cliff, I know you've

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: got all your Purple Rising year ready to go. You've

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: got the Matt what Matt Reporter's notebook, the pen. What

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: do you come an outfit? Do you come into all purple?

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: Cliff Man, I don't have any purple shoes. I'm gonna

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: have to add that to my game.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Cliff has a better shoe collection than I do. So

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: you got the hook up from your son in law.

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 3: You got to get some purple shoes I got to

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: get You're right.

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: Well, that's always a pleasure to be with you, buddy,

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a huge AFC North game

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: in tight a tight race. You know, it's not just

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Steelers that are in this race.

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: The Bengals are still very much in this and it's

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: a big opportunity for the Ravens to hand them their

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: six loss. Cincinnati were going to lose this game, which

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: would really kind of put them behind the eight ball. Conversely,

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: with a Ravens loss, you know, the Ravens have dropped

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: to six and four, the Bengals we be right back

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: in it at five and five, and now you have

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: a three way dog fight in the AFC Norse. So

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: this is I feel like Cliff, one of those games

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: that we're going to look back on and say, this

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: is kind of a hinge game. You know that the

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: season kind of went one way or the other.

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you want to get the Bengals in

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: your rear view mirror and keep them there if you can.

32
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: We all know how dangerous they are, how they can score.

33
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow great quarterback, and they're used to winning. I

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: mean they've started slowly before and have come back to

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. So even with their own three start,

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: they have now gotten themselves in a position if they

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: can win this game tomorrow right then, yes, I mean

38
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: that puts them right back in the picture. Ween mile

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: of Ravens, though, could almost make it a two team

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: raised with a victory. They'd have two wins over the Bengals.

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: So you know, even the Bengals don't fall apart, you

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 2: figure the Ravens will win a tiebreaker they could kind

43
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: of just focus on trying to beat the Steelers to

44
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: win the division.

45
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: So it's a huge.

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: Game, yeah, for sure, And certainly one of the talking

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: points about this game will be is it going to

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: look like the last one? The Ravens out last of

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: the Bengals in a forty one to thirty eight overtime

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: shootout in Cincinnati in Week five? Cliff, what's your gut

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: tell you or should fans expect another shootout on Thursday

52
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: night football?

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean your gut and your eyes would tell

54
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: you yes, And I do think it will be high scoring,

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: but I would say not to the degree of that game.

56
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: That's just my guess.

57
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: I just think that, you know, the second time you

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: play someone in the season, they've got, you know, a

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: few more tricks in their sleeve to kind of maybe

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: slow these offensive down. But it's hard for me to

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: see as being a defensive struggle. I just think that

62
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: both of these offenses have so much firepower and the

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: quarterback is so good, they're going to figure out a

64
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: way to score points.

65
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: And you know, the thing to remember in this game,

66
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: if either team.

67
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: Gets a double digit lead, it's still not over. They're

68
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: both capable I think of coming back on each other.

69
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: So that's gonna make I think for probably another game

70
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: that comes down in the last five minutes.

71
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Yep, for sure. So you know, a big, big storyline

72
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: in this obviously will be how the Ravens top ranked offense,

73
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: can they keep cooking against the Bengals defense. And you know,

74
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: it was a shootout last time, and the Ravens kind

75
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: of hit those big plays. There's the big play to

76
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: Charlie Kohler. Derrick Henry had a fifty one yard run.

77
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, Lamar obviously had the highlight of the day

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: with the you know, stiff arm touchdown pass. And so

79
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: I think this Ravens offense right now looks pretty darn

80
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: hard to stop. Do you think is there any reason

81
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: for Youcliff, to believe that that the Bengals could slow

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: them down?

83
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: I think the only way that would happen is if

84
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: Trey Henderson, who had his last game, really has a

85
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: big game, you know, pressuring Lamar Jackson and make him

86
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: get rid of the ball before he wants to, even

87
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: if he doesn't always get the sack. I thought, you know,

88
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: Max Crosby when the Ravens played the Raiders was able

89
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: to do that, and you know, it kept Lamar from

90
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: dominating the game, and the Ravens were able to put Raiders,

91
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: excuse me, we're able to pull off the upset. So

92
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: if they can, the Ravens can keep Henderson under control.

93
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: I don't see the Bengals being able to stop the

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: Ravens from, you know, having another big night offensively. I

95
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: think Derrick Henry, you know, even though he didn't have

96
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: a monster game against the Bengals, gets capable of doing that.

97
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: If you don't pay a lot of attention to Derrick Henry,

98
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: he will have a big game and his presence. The

99
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: way the Ravens are clicking through the air, too many weapons,

100
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: I just think they present too many problems with the

101
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: Bengals to really contain.

102
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. On Hendrickson. I think that

103
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: he can have a Max Crosby like effect. To me,

104
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: I think a big storyline for the Ravens offense going

105
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: into this is Lamar Jackson right, And I mean he

106
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: played an unbelievable last game. We already talked about the

107
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Sam Hubbers stif arm touchdown. He threw for three hundred

108
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: and forty eight yards and four touchdowns against them. But

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: he also ran them ball twelve times for fifty five yards,

110
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think you should lose focus on that.

111
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 1: I think you know Lamar's Lamar's health status. He missed

112
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: the practice this week because of knee injury. He is

113
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: going to play, you know, but he didn't run hardly

114
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: at all last week. He had zero scripted runs. He

115
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: scrambled just to get away from pressure once last week

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: in the Ravens win. But if he can't, you know,

117
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens and Lamar says he feels fine. But if

118
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: he is not going to run as much against the Bengals,

119
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: that takes away a pretty big weapon. And he would

120
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: have to beat this secondary that has some players in

121
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: that secondary with his arm, and certainly he's able capable

122
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: of doing that. Just saw him do that against the

123
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: Denver Broncis last week. Now, the the Bengals are also

124
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: another team that are gonna put a lot of pressure

125
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: on you. So Ken Lamar keeps slicing and dicing teams

126
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: beating him with his arm, even if he doesn't run

127
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: as much, maybe as he did last time when he

128
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: faced the Bengals.

129
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he can.

130
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: Now it's always better if he can run not only

131
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: for yards, but to be able to escape pressure, to

132
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: extend blades, which he has gotten so good at, and

133
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: the Ravens receivers have gotten so good at, you know,

134
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: freeing themselves when he does extend plays. So we don't

135
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: know how hampered Lamar is gonna be, if at all,

136
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: But as long as he's able to get away from

137
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: the rush like he was against the Broncos, I think

138
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: he can slice and dice without you know, running a

139
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: lot using his legs again yards and that's just part

140
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: of evolution of him as a quarterback. I really believe that,

141
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: you know, many people when he came into the league

142
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: never thought that he could be this dangerous from the pocket.

143
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: That was something that I think that people the kind

144
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: of rationale with Lamar or what people I think mostly

145
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: thought that even if he was a dynamic quarterback in

146
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: the NFL, he would have to be using his legs

147
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: on a pretty regular basis. That no longer is the case.

148
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: He can have a huge game now, you know, barely

149
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 2: running for any yards at all he did against Denver.

150
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think that he can slights and diets

151
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: as long as he's healthy enough to avoid the rush.

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, as it stands right now, Lamar Jackson

153
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: has the third most passing yards in the league. Were

154
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: more than halfway through the season. It's it's not Fluke's

155
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: a pretty sizable large sample size there, you know. And

156
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: that just tells you right then and there, like Lamar Jackson,

157
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that. A lot of people, a lot

158
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: of people, I think, when he came into this league thought,

159
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: all right, even if Lamar Jackson becomes a good passer

160
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: and improves his passing and all that stuff, like it's

161
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: about efficiency, he's never going to be one of those

162
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: guys that leads the league in passing yards. Well, guess what,

163
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: he ain't far from it right now. I mean, it's

164
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: conceivable to think that Lamar could finish atop the league

165
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: in passing yards, which would be incredible, right And I

166
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: don't even know part of that was because the offense

167
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens put around him, you know, would they ask him,

168
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: would they put enough on his plate to even allow

169
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: him the opportunity to lead the league in passing yards.

170
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: It's all on his plate. He's got the fool buffet.

171
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: It's golden corral up in here, all right, Cliff and

172
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson is up to the task. He's

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: like me in a golden crow man, I'm up to

174
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: the task.

175
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: Okay.

176
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I give Todd Monkin, the Ravens coaching staff,

177
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: credit for allowing Lamar giving Lamar the full menu, which

178
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: is something that he always wanted. A few years back

179
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: at this story on Lamar and talk to Bobby Petrino,

180
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: his college coach at Louisville. He told a story about

181
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: Lamar's first year starting. He wasn't the starter when the

182
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: season began, so they just gave him kind of like

183
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: the plays that he was good at and went the

184
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: rest of the season and did well. But after the

185
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: season was over, Lamar came to him and in Lamar's words,

186
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: he said, I want to be a complete quarterback.

187
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: I want the whole offensive playbook. I want all of it.

188
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: And so Petrino told him, well, fine, but in order

189
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 2: to do that, you're going to have to show up

190
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: in the offseason every day at six o'clock. We're going

191
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 2: to go over film and you know you're going to

192
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: put in the work. He did, and then that next

193
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: season they had the full playbook at their display, and

194
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: you know it's a much different situation. But still, when

195
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: Todd Moncam became the offensive coordinator, his goal, or one

196
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: of his beliefs, was that Lamar give.

197
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: Him everything and he's able to handle it.

198
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: And you know, I think that he's obviously proven that

199
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: this year to me, having his best season after winning

200
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: two MVPs, which is really kind of hard pull off.

201
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, so it'll be. You know, Lamar's had a

202
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: little success against the Bengals. He's nine to one against

203
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: him as a starter in his career. Some of his

204
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: best highlights have been against them. Some of his best

205
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: games have been against them. Something about the Bengals that

206
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: just he's Lamar sees those stripes and he turns it up.

207
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: So I expect another good one from Lamar. But you're

208
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: talking about Derrick Henry before and in the last game

209
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, you know, like you said, he had

210
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: a good game as fifteen carries for ninety one yards,

211
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: But of those ninety or I'm sorry, ninety two yards

212
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: of those ninety two, fifty one came on one carry, right,

213
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: So the other forty one yards came on fourteen carries,

214
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: So it wasn't a highly efficient game on a down

215
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: in and down out basis for Derrick Henry. I think

216
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: that there's a big factor going into this game regard

217
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: and that's the health of BJ Hill, the Bengals big

218
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: old nose tackle who's dealing with a rib injury. We

219
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: are recording this as of Wednesday afternoon.

220
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: PJ.

221
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: Hill did not practice on Monday or Tuesday. Again, these

222
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: are estimated to walk throughs in some part, but his

223
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: status is very much up in the air. If BJ

224
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: Hill does not play in this game, and he had

225
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: a strong game against the Ravens in Week five, I

226
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: think that's another opportunity for the Ravens to really lean

227
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: on Derrek Henry reaggressive in the ground game, and it

228
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: remains to be seen whether Keaton Mitchell will even join

229
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: this ground attack. So could this be a game where

230
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens really tried to lean on that ground attack.

231
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Keep the ball away from Joe Burrow, keep the ball

232
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: out of his hands, and look at some You know,

233
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: they thrived on kind of the big play last time

234
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. Can they just march on the Bengals

235
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: defense this time around?

236
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

237
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: I mean it's going to be interesting because even though

238
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 2: wasn't that long ago, when they faced the Bengals. You know,

239
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: at that point in the season, Mark Andrews had hadn't

240
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: started getting rolling yet, but Shaan Bateman wasn't, you know,

241
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: involved in offense as much as he has been the

242
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: last four or five weeks. The Ravens just keep spreading,

243
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: spreading more to keep giving you more to worry about it.

244
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: And now, if I'm the Bengals, I don't even know

245
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: what your approach is.

246
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I think in that game, Deontay Johnson, now too exactly,

247
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: I think that right right.

248
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: I think they really put a lot of emphasis on

249
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: stopping Derrick Henry, which obviously makes a lot of sense,

250
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: but weren't as worried about some of the other weapons

251
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: beyond Lamar and Derek Henry. Now it's it's almost here

252
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: like like Lamar I loves to say, pick your poison

253
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: if they decided to, really, you know, whether BJBJ players

254
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: or not, really you know, load the box. That doesn't

255
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: seem the way that to be the way to go

256
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: against the Ravens anymore. It's almost like, now, maybe you

257
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: don't want to load the box and maybe hope that

258
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: Henry doesn't hit some home runs against you and focus

259
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: on keeping the big plays out of their passing offense.

260
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: So it's just a major problem when you face the Ravens,

261
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 2: now how to stop them and they've already scored forty

262
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: one points three times, where like a halfway through the season.

263
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: That's you're really rolling when you're doing that.

264
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I do think though, I think it could

265
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: be a heavier dose to the King. I think I

266
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: think fifteen carries last time. Would not be surprised if

267
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: we get more Derrick Henry in this game coming up

268
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. All right, when we come back, we'll

269
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: flip it over the other side of the ball and

270
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: talk about what the Ravens need to do defensively to

271
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: slow down this Bengals offense. In Joe Burrow, thank you

283
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: I should have noted off the top here that clearly

284
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: the voice, my voice is not fully recovered. I'm so questionable.

285
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: I would say on I'm improving. Do I sound a

286
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: little better?

287
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: You do sound a little better?

288
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: Man.

289
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: You're good to now.

290
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: I respect you because, yeah, earlier in the week you

291
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: would not sounded too good much.

292
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you're welcome to everybody that I work with.

293
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: When I lose my voice, you don't have to hear

294
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: me flapping my gums in the office. But unfortunately for you,

295
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm on the road to recovery cliffs. So we'll see,

296
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: all right.

297
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: Now.

298
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: The Ravens defense Joe Burr is coming off a game

299
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: through five touchdown passes, Bengals put up forty one points.

300
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: Now do you think it should be noted? Okay, the

301
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Bengals have not beaten a team as good as the

302
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Ravens this year. Okay, all of the Bengals victories have

303
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: come against two and seven teams, teams that have a

304
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: record of two and seven, all four of them against

305
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: teams that are two and seven. They have not beaten

306
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: a team like the Ravens. Now, the Ravens feel like

307
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: and Marlin Humphrey said at point blank felt like they

308
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: should have beaten him, that the Bengals should have won

309
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: that game in Week five. So a large part of

310
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: that is because of the damage that Joe Burrow and

311
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase did together. Jamar Chase had one hundred and

312
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: ninety three yards receiving in two touchdowns in Week five.

313
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: How do the Ravens slowed down Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase.

314
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it starts with Chase trying to slow

315
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: him down. You know in this game, you know te

316
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: Higgins and another great wide receiver they have, but he's

317
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: been hampered this week. If he plays, he's not going

318
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: to be one hundred percent. So certainly, in a situation

319
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: like this, I think that you do whatever it takes

320
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: to try and keep Chase from making those game breaking plays.

321
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: You know, much like Zay Flowers, he chased when he

322
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: catches the ball to play is not over and if

323
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: you don't take the right angle with him or miss

324
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: a tackle. As he showed in week five, he will

325
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: take it all the way to the house. So those

326
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: type plays are game changers. If you can eliminate those,

327
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: your chances of beating the Bengals improved greatly. So Yeah,

328
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: I think priority as not a secret, but certainly in

329
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: this case where Higgins is hobbled that you do try

330
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: and take him his big playability out of the game.

331
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: And if you know Mike Joesechi or somebody else has

332
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: a big game, you kind of live with it and

333
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: hope it's not enough to beat you.

334
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree that. I think t higgins health status.

335
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: He's dealing with a quad injury that held him out

336
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: of both practices earlier this week, that's a big deal

337
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: whether he plays or not, because I mean, A, he's

338
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: just a great player. B. You got fourteen targets the

339
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: last time these two teams played, right, that's more than

340
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase Scott. So when you have to really worry

341
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: about both those guys, it makes the task that much harder.

342
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: And to your point, I think if it's just Jamar

343
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: Chase out there, all right, you know, it's not like

344
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: they don't have any other weapons, but they're hampered offensively.

345
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: Zach Moss is on IR Eric all Junior, their talented

346
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: tight end who's been pretty big piece of their running

347
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: game also on IR now and so if it's Jamar

348
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: Chase out there without t Higgins, that comma becomes a

349
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: little less dangerous. I think another kind of x's and

350
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: o's point to this cliff is, so Week five, Jamar

351
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: Chase was targeted on eleven of his twenty one routes

352
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: against single high safety coverage that the Ravens played. On

353
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: those eleven targets, he caught nine balls for one hundred

354
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: and eighty four yards and two touchdowns. When the Ravens

355
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: played split safety coverage just two safeties high. Kind of,

356
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: he got one target, one catch, nine yards. Okay, So

357
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: that's certainly would indicate let's go two safeties high. Let's

358
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: leave Kyle Hailton, get Kyle Hailton out of the box

359
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: a little bit more, him play a little higher, and

360
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 1: that also gives the ability to shade towards, you know,

361
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase a little bit, have a little more cloud

362
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: coverage over him, kind of have another guy that's able

363
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: to monitor Jamar Chase. So I think that the Ravens

364
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: probably shift up shift their defensive approaching their secondary a

365
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: little bit for this game.

366
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: Right. As we mentioned at the top that you know

367
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: round two of these, you know, inter division matchups, you

368
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: see different things, you see both teams doing different things,

369
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: and what you just mentioned obviously is something that the

370
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: Ravens know. And we'll try and see if the Bengals

371
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: can can beat them if they give them another look

372
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: that was more successful than what they tried in game one.

373
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: And this is going to be, to me a litmus

374
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: test of how much progress the Ravens defense is really making.

375
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not going to take anything away from

376
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 2: their from their performance against Denver, but the Bengals are

377
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: that's another level of offense with Joe Burrow and the.

378
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: Weapons he has.

379
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: If you contain the Bengals in a game that they

380
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: are viewing as a must win, then that's an indication that, yes,

381
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: this defense of the Ravens is making progress.

382
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: Yep.

383
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: I think you know, the Ravens talk this week about

384
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: the the need to not let Joe Burrow feel comfortable

385
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: in the pocket. You know, he felt a little too

386
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: comfortable out there in Week five, for sure. And when

387
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: when Joe's feeling it, when he's not feeling pressured, he

388
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: can just kill you. I mean, the guy can make

389
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: every arm or every throw.

390
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: I mean.

391
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: And so the Ravens in Week five they only blitzed

392
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: sixteen point seven percent of the time. They're already the

393
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: sixth lowest team in terms of blitz rate in the league,

394
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: and that's twenty two percent, So they were lower than

395
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: their low mark. Then their conservative approach. They were ultra

396
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: conservative in terms of the blitz in Week five, by

397
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: the way, just to put sixteen point seven percent blitz

398
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: rate in perspective, jack Ville blitz is at the lowest

399
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: rate in the league at sixteen point nine percent, So

400
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: it's below the Wors the lowest right. So I think

401
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: another question going into this game is to the Ravens

402
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: blitz at a higher rate.

403
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: It'll it'll be interesting to see because as you know,

404
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: if you if you do blitz more than you're leaving

405
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: your secondary more a man the man coverage, allowing those

406
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: playmakers to make plays.

407
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: Loal and Humphrey also talked about how.

408
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: Frustrating it is with Burrow that even if you're a

409
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: covering your guy tight he'll still throw it to your guy.

410
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: He trusts Jason Higgins and those guys to make contested catches.

411
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna blitz Borrow, particularly if he knows

412
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: the blitz is coming, he's gonna throw it to the

413
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: right spot to one of his weapons who believes that

414
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: they can win it and often do win in man

415
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: the man. So you always, to me, want to be

416
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 2: able to pressure a quarterback, not being able to blitz.

417
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: That's the ultimate and allows your defense to really be

418
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 2: at his best. But yeah, you can let Burrow just

419
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: stand back there and survey the field. So that's kind

420
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: of like the you know, push pull that you face

421
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: if you don't get pressure with four people. So I'll

422
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: be interested see the Ravens blitz more when they were

423
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: so reluctant to do it the first time they played.

424
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: But if they don't blitz, or whether they do blitz,

425
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: they've definitely got to play a better game defensively in

426
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: Week one.

427
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: I think that, you know, this is a type of game.

428
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: I feel that if the Ravens don't play well defensively

429
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: this time, they could get burned.

430
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, the Bengals are certainly capable of burning

431
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: yet absolutely do you think that one factor in terms

432
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: of the Ravens pass rush, which you know you look

433
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: at the sack numbers and yeah, the Ravens are still

434
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: among the NFL leaders. Are they getting enough pressure?

435
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: Now?

436
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to like sit here in sugarcoat that

437
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, the pass rush has been on fire. They

438
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,239
Speaker 1: need to get more consistent pressure. When you look at

439
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 1: pressure rates and things like that, you know, it's not

440
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: as rosy of a picture as their sacked would portray.

441
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: One thing that I think that is a factor certainly

442
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: in this game is Orlando Brown Junior, the Bengals left tackle,

443
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: and obviously the former raven is dealing with knee and

444
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: fibula injuries. He was limited in practice on Tuesday, didn't

445
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: practice on Monday, So again another case of if he plays,

446
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: is he playing at one hundred percent? You know, Dafeoway

447
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: and some of these top Ravens pass rushers they need

448
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: to kind of get on the board a little bit

449
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: more here. It's they've been on a little bit of

450
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: a of a slower pace in recent games. If that's

451
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: the right where for Kyleve and NOI came out you

452
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: know on fire, slowed down a little bit. So I

453
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: think this is a game the Ravens need to get

454
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: some pressure on Joe Burrow. They need to rely on

455
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: those guys that front. Nomni has two sacks this year.

456
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: You know, like they got to win some of those

457
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: battles up front and get some pressures on Joe Burrow

458
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: because they are not getting enough on these quarterbacks in

459
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: recent weeks. And Joe Burrow, like we're saying, he will

460
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: kill you if you don't. So are the factors that

461
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Ravens fans should be watching this game, Cliff. I really

462
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: look forward to it. This is gonna be an electric

463
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: atmosphere at M and T Banks Stadium on Thursday night football.

464
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: The Ravens they know how to play all prime time, okay,

465
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: this they they bring it, okay, and I think I

466
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: think that's legit. Like those again, you talk about sample size.

467
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: Sample size is large enough that the Ravens usually step
