  Speaker 1: tire installation, tire act dot com the way tire buying
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: should be, So our lead this hour from the big
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: made for TV matchup in Baltimore, the final act of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Week three of the NFL. We are now almost twenty
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: percent into the NFL season and it was a big
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: time Inner conference matchup. Is this a preview of the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl in Northern California coming in February of twenty
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: twenty six or merely just a matchup that will be
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: forgotten in the large, wide angle lens of the NFL season.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I bring this up because he had Lamar
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Jackson and the Ravens taking on Dan Campbell and the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: traveling circus that is the Detroit Lions. They came in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: there I don't know if you saw this game or not.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: We watched so you would not have to. And it
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was up set City the Ravens, who had been as
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: big as a six point favorite in this game. They
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ended up at four and a half and they were
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: back and forth for a while, but then the Lions
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: pulled away. Jamir Gibbs and David Montgomery. There goes that man.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Watch him run run, run, run, run, run, run, both
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of them as Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery each ran
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: for two touchdowns a piece, and Detroit doing something you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: don't normally expect the Lions to do. They bullied. They bullied,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: they played bully ball. They bullied the Baltimore football team
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: thirty eight to thirty in a game that really wasn't
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that close when you think about the fact that the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Lions gave up that last touchdown, even though they had
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a two touchdown lee. It just kind of let up
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit there at the end the final second,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the Lions are two to one. They sacked Lamar Jackson,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: not once, not twice, not three times, how about not four,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: not five, not six seven sacks out rushed the Baltimore
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: football team two hundred and twenty four yards on the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: ground for the Lions and eighty five for the once
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: proud Baltimore football team Detroit, scoring on drives of ninety
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: eight and ninety six yards. They had drives of ninety
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: eight and ninety six yards. Wow. All right, so let
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question is this, who do you point
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the finger at? The better store in the losing locker room?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: So who do you point the finger at? For John
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh's Ravens. Who's the the one wearing the dunch cap.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: That's the question, who is it? All right? So, well,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: before we get into this, let's hear from the aforementioned
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: John Harball. And here's John Harball pointing out that the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Ravens defensively, well, it's kind of obvious here. They're not
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: very good against the run.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: The biggest problem is we didn't play good run defense.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't as as a defense completely. We
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: didn't do it. And that's not going to be good enough.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: There's nobody in that locker room that thinks that's good enough.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: That's disappointing. That's bad run defense. And that's not who
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: we are. It cannot be who we are. It's not
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: going to be good enough, it's not going to be
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: acceptable and it's got to be better.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: All right. So again the question here, the jumping off point,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: is the question who do you point the finger at?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: For John Harbaugh's Ravens. He mentioned the run defense. There,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I've got Rick Battino, Bart Simpson and DNA and we
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we will
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: throw them against the wall and we're going to make
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: some delicious grilled chicken, is what we're going to make.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So a.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: This is not who the Ravens have been, but it
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is who they are now. Is that a fair statements?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: That an accurate statement that Hartbaugh's complaining about the run defense,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: which is true. But this is supposed to be John
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh's sweet spot. Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night, any
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: kind of night, especially at home, and his team comes
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: out there like Gangbusters. They do the monster maish, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: monster mash. In this game, they did the opposite. They
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: they're usually the ones that are pounding teams in submission,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and on this night they were powdered and mashed potatoes,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: is what they were. It is soft and fake cream
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and no bite and that's it. That's all they were
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a reminder though, as the iconic sportscaster Dick Stockton taught
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: me years ago here at Fox Sports Radio, Stat's tell
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you what has happened, not what's going to happen. And
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that's the reality of the situation. Here they got they
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: being the Ravens, got completely manhandled by the line. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: thought the Lions were the right side. You watched Benny
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: versus the Paint on YouTube. We didn't tell you to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: take the Lions. Did I think they were going to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: play that? Well, No, absolutely not. I did not expect
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that at all. But this is not just losing a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: game for Baltimore. To me, it feels bigger than that.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Oh you're being too dramatic. I don't think I am.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's like in an identity crisis for the Ravens. Like
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the Ravens have always been that team. In the last
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: twenty years or so, with few exceptions, the Ravens have
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: been that team that you'd circle on the calendar and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, no, that's gonna be a that's gonna
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: be a nasty game. You play the Ravens, They're gonna
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: push you around, they're gonna punch you in the mouth.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: They're gonna poke your eyes. I mean, that's a good
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: football team, that's a physical football team, and you're not
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to push them around. And so here
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: we are in twenty twenty five. We are about twenty
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: percent into the NFL season, and the Ravens are lightweights,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They're pushovers. These are not your daddy's Ravens. They're not
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: John Harball, you know what you got to bring in here?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I got advice here. I'm gonna tell my guys sports
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: with Coleman, who's boots on the ground in Baltimore. John
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh needs to bring in Rick Patino because Rick Patino
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: can give these guys on defense, say pep, talk here
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and say listen, now, rally the team around. They said, listen, boys,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: us is not walking through that door. He's not all right.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And just tell the fan. Ray Lewis is not walking
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: through that door. Terrell Suggs is not walking through that door,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and and Reid is not walking through that door. And
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: if you expect them to walk through that door, they're
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: going to be gray and old. Boom, drop the mic.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That's it. The Ravens have the worst defense in the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: National Football League. Put that in the pipe and smoke.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: It of hard to believe stuff. The Ravens are dead last.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: They are thirty second in the NFL. That's not my opinion,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: it is a fact I've done the mother of matth.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: The Ravens have allowed an average of four hundred and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: fifteen yards per game, and that includes a laugh or
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a blowout win courtesy of Joe Flacco, who gave the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: game to Baltimore in Week two. It's embarrassing with the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Capitol leave for the Ravens and then on Monday Night
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Football they allowed that running in and Jared Goff also
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: made some key third down plays as well. But Dan Campbell,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: those guys, they were able to do whatever the hell
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they wanted. Four hundred and twenty six yards four one
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six yards for the team representing Michigan,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. They're fifty percent conversion on third down,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they were perfect on fourth down and nearly perfect in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the red zone. Wowsers. And it's like they were playing
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: at some stretch of that game. It was like seven
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: on seven. It's like a walk through. It was insane.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And you know, meanwhile, you have Lamar Jackson. Yes, mister
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: multi time MVP of Lamar Jackson. And if you look
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: at the box score for Lamar, you're like, wow, he
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: played pretty well. Look at the numbers there. You can't
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: rip Lamar Jackson what to bet? So you gotta dig
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: a little deeper. And this is like, if you didn't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: watch the game, you think, wow, Listen, Lamar was fine.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. You're just bringing
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a short drug. He needed to be better. He needed
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to be better. He needed to be better. And if
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you dig deeper, the numbers he put up are misleading.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, all right. So he averaged ten
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: point seven yards per pass attempt two hundred and eighty
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: eight yards. Seventy eight of those yards and a touchdown
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: pass came when the game was already decided. I mentioned
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the Lions laid up after they went up by two
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: touchdowns late in the game in garbage time. That is
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a stat bondito performance that Dak Prescott will be impressed with.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So the Lions were up thirty eight twenty four and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: then Lamar on a few pass plays, led them all
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the way down the field the Ravens, and they went
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: down and scored a touchdown. But there's only like twenty
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: seconds or something left in the clock. The game was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: over at that particular point. And then you've got the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: HeLa monster in the room, the HeLa monster and the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Komodo dragon in the room, and that is the negative place,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and that is what loses games. It's a simpleton's way
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: to look at a football game. But if you just
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks side by side, and roughly ninety
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: percent of the time, the quarterback that makes fewer mistakes
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: his team will win the game. Now, those negative plays.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: A negative play is a sack, a fumble, an incompletion.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Those are negative plays. And if you look side by
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: side in this game, Lamar Jackson had fourteen negative plays
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in this game, seven sacks, seven of them. He had
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a fumble that was recovered in incompletions left and right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: He had six incompletions in the game. So you do
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the math on that, it works out to be fourteen.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: The sack number is rather shocking. That is tied for
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a career high. Hey, Lamar, you've just been sacked seven times.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna say for yourself, Lamar Jackson, I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: think it were sacked seven times tonight.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: That rarely rarely happens.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: With you what what you seen back there? There was
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: causing problems.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Oh man, got the don stunts. I had a a spy,
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: and sometimes the spy was they was grabbing my leg
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: and that's just.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: What it was.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: You know, guys, they were dropping the coverage. You got
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: three safeties back there, and I'm just not from throw
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: a hair mary ball. You know, I'm gonna read the
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: coverage out and try to make.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Something happens the spy, spy versus spy, that's the issue there.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: So Jared Golf, on the other hand, while Lamar had
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: fourteen negative plays, Golf had nine, which is said, well,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that's not that big a difference, but in a game
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that's close, it is a big difference. Zero sacks. Jared
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Goff had zero sacks. The offense I ran the ball
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a lot, so you didn't have too many opportunities to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: get sacked. And generally speaking, this was a even though
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Lamar had good Fantasy numbers thanks a lot to that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: last drive. There overall not good. Then. The Ravens normally
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the ones that are doing the steamrolling, and in this
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: game they were not. They were soft, certainly, defensively uninspired, defensively,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: dazed and confused in this game, and Baltimore now desperately
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: trying to get their mojo back because they have a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: losing record, and they go to Arrowhead. How about that
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: for a plot twist. You've got the Chiefs sitting at
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: one and two, the Ravens at one and two. One
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of those two teams will be at five hundred, the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: other one to be one in three, a quarter of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the way into the NFL season. Who goofed, I've got
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to know. But right now, we do the show right now,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and the Baltimore Ravens look like a middle of the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: pack AFC team. They have a bottom of the league defense,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: They have an offense that will be fine against most
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: anyone and certainly will beat up on the Tomato Cans
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of the NFL. But man, all right now turning the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: page on that, the other big issue, if you will,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: for Baltimore is do the Ravens have a Derrick Henry problem?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And that's the question. So I'm gonna nod my head
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: yes on this. Derek Henry had a very mediocre stat
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: line in this game, but he also had a signature
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: fumble yet again for Derrick Henry. So I'm not in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: my ass. You look at the circumstantial evidence on this,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and it is piling up, and it's the same evidence
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that we have seen for many, many years doing this job,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: where you're since the dawn of time, when you're running
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: back of a certain age, and things all of a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: sudden stopped working. Right, It goes pretty quick. But before
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: we get into the meat of that, let's hear from
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: But we'll hear from Henry in a second. But let's
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: hear from the aforementioned John Harbaugh. Here's John Harbaugh talking
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: about what was a backbreaking fumble late by Derrick Henry.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: It happened again, here's the coach.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: We got to get it fixed. I mean that was
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: kind of a blind shot there. I thought he had
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: the ball in good position, you know. I thought the
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: defender got a good look at it though, because it
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: was kind of a pretrace cutback play. So a little
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: bit of perfect storm. But still, I mean, just want
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: to protect football, you know, all our guys do, and
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: we gotta we gotta do it. We gotta be good
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: at it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: It's a perfect storm, except it's happened three games in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a row. Three games in a row, all right, here's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the man of the hour here, Derrick Henry. You're the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: running back. You were right there among all the top
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: players in the NFL last year, a great renaissance in Baltimore.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And now what do we got here? Well, explain for
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: yourself what happened on that fumble? Craser right now? Three
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: games straight and having in.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: My career r fumbles doing critical moments, it was, yeah.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I apologize, fought Nation, and I'll just keep working this shirts.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: It's a flock nation. It's a cheesy name the Ravens
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: marketing department came up with. It could do better, flock.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: It sounds like sounds like you say that too many times.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: You'll say the effort.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. So I want to go back though
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to the argument, my argument here with Derek Henry, and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: now I was skeptical, I was. I was completely wrong.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Last year I said, what are the Ravens doing here?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: And we bring in Henry. He was showing some signs
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of regression in Tennessee. They brought him in and he
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: shoved it down my throat. But here we are a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: year later and three games in and is like, well,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: this is the thing that we have seen from running
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: backs since the dawn of time. As I mentioned here,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: once they hit that magic age of thirty, they run
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: into a wall. It's not a gentle fade. It's not
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: like you're fading out from a scene in a TV
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: show or a movie. It's oh, he's he's useful in
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: certain spots. It's not that it's a cliff dive. You're
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: free diving off the side of the Grand Canyon and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you're just diving. There's a rope or a parachute or
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: anything like that. You're just diving and you don't get
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a warning flare. It's not like they said, well, by
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the way, here's a warning. You're running backs starting to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: get worse and worse and worse and worse that you
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: don't get a caution sign. They don't send that out.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: It's bam. You go from King Henry to court Jester
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Henry overnight, just like that, Just like that. Now one
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: second you are the wrecking ball and then the next
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: your toast, your toast. He's thirty one, which is not old,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: but in sports when you're running back, that's an issue.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Birthday is coming up in early January, and the numbers
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: tell the story. If you look at it, three point
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: one yards per carry combined the last two games against
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the Browns and now against the Detroit Lions. That is plotting,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: that is ordinary. And fumble that's the scarlet letter, the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: fumble things the scarlet letter. Three straight games, three straight fumbles,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: lost two of them in key matchups. The Buffalo Bills
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: don't come back and win that game without the generosity
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of Derrick Henry. And you can make the same argument
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: that the Lions, they don't win that game without the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: help of Derick Henry. That he's doing more to help
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the other team right now than he is to help
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: his team. And so, Henry, if it doesn't work out,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: if this continues here, he can at least replace Bart
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Simpson and be the new face of Butterfingers, right because
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: at three games in a row, and that's as many
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: as he had all of last year. For Derrick Henry,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you can't be that guy. You're not that guy, Palp,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: You're not that guy, certainly, not now, not ever in
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: your career. Like at least he used to be good.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Ramondre Stevenson fumbles all the time for the Patriots, but
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: he's you know, he's not that good. And so if
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you're Baltimore, though, what do we always say, Don't let
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a falling star fall on you. Don't do it, You
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: just cannot do it. Don't sit there on the ground
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and look up and the falling star falls onto The
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Ravens historically have prided themselves on a lot of things.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: But they're always a smart team, and they're a physical
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: team and all that stuff. And Henry is not looking
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: right now like much of a centerpiece.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: He did for three quarters in that game against Buffalo
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: in Week one, but that's three weeks ago now, and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: it doesn't appear to be just a pothole. It does
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: not appear to be just a pothole at this point.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: And now you go against Kansas City at Arrowhead, a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: stout Chiefs defense coming up next week. And if Henry
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: does not look like his old self, then and you
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: start We'll wait a minute here. Now it's like a
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: quarter of the way into the NFL season, and does
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: he fumble again here? And running backs generally at age
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: thirty one heading into age thirty two, don't just bounce back.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: It's not a bounce back situation. Usually fall apart pretty quickly.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry, who has always been that he's got
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that fear factor where he scares the other team, and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it does. The only thing he's scaring right now is
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the raven fan base, flocked nations as he called it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: There all right, last word quickly to the winners locker
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: room we go where we were very critical. I got
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: an email from John who lives in He says he
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: lives outside Detroit, so I'll say the suburbs of Detroit.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: And John said he wrote me immediately after the game,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: which I knew was one of those oh no, no, no, no,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: no no. Anytime you get an email right after a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: game is no, no, no, no, no no, your opinion sucked. You know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: That was that kind of thing. It was like, I
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: remember what you said after that game in Green Bay.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I remember wash your mouth out? You know that kind
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of thing. So question, does this count as a statement
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: victory for Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions to sashe their way
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: into Baltimore and get the win. So yeah, I'll nod
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: my head. Yes, Listen, I reacted. The job is to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: read and react. That's the job. You read. It's like
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: being playing defense. You read and react in basketball whatever,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and in certain elements of football you read and react,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and so I'm not in my yes, yes, Detroit was
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: strutting into what is supposed to be a hostile environment
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and they didn't blink. They did not blink in this game.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: After the no show, which is dope from outside Detroit
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: who emailed me, all all worked up into a ladder there.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: The Lions deserve to be ripped for the way they
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: played against green Bay, especially considering how they played against
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Baltimore like you, and then they destroyed the Chicago Bears
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: as well the green Bay game. We were on after
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the green Bay game, they deserved a lashing. We gave
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: them a lashing. And there were some lingering questions about
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: whether or not they were going to be as good.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: They had changed the roster a little bit, the coordinators
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: were different. Those were legitimate questions. This is the kind
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of a win for the Lions on the road, on
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the road against a brand name franchise like the Ravens
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that helps answer those doubts. It's not just that they
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: won the Lions, it's how they won. Physical, aggressive, Now
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they're always fearless on fourth down and all that stuff
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: that'll come back to bite. Dan Campbell in the ass.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: But that's just DNA that's in the Dan Campbell DNA
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And what happened was soft dome team.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I thought all these dome teams is soft. Well, maybe
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the Ravens. I might as well play an adult in the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: way they're playing right now. So there you go. It
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: was the Ravens defense that was soft around the edges,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a very jello like in this particular performance here. And
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: so there you go. The Lions on the catwalk there
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: they flexed. They did a pirouette right there on the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: catwalk for everyone to see, and they made their little
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: statement and they shook their tushy and they walked away. Congratulations.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: There you go. They are legit, and so they proved
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: it in this particular game. Unless the Ravens turn out
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to be total frauds, then we visit this. But we
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: do the show right now, and so right now that
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: is my position on the lines.

  Speaker 1: dream when he was a little kid was actually played
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: for the Harlem glow trot for trotters, he loved the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Globetrotters and a reminder that this isn't just a game,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: it's a once in a generation event. The Harlem Globetrotters
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: one hundred year tour. That's a big deal. Come be
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: part of a legacy that never stops. Be there when
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: history has made. I have great memories as a kid
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: seeing the Harlem Globetrotters, the Harlem Globetrotters one hundred year Tour.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Get your tickets today at Harlem Globetrotters dot com. So
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: our lead this out. We're gonna get to the the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Doyers latest choke job. Also, the Mariners are in the playoffs.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Congratulations them. The Detroit Tigers have done something almost unimaginable
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: as they have choked away the division lead. We'll talk
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: about that as we go through. But well, I want
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to start with football because that's what pays the bills.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: So we'll save some of that stuff for the b block.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: But we begin this hour on the shores of the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: mighty Hudson River. And we have another quarterback change in
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and this one not because of injury, by
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: systemic incompetence. And if you have not heard by now,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: maybe not. It was anticipated and it has now happened.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: We have learned the Giants have demoted. They have benched
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: mister unlimited Russell Wilson, who is now limited to holding
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: a clipboard in favor of the flavor of the week,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and that would be first round quarterback rookie Jackson Dart.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: They've gone to the dart. They're now throwing darts the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Giants and that just comes after three games. Now, remember
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: all that rhetoric, all that bull crap. Oh oh, he's
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: gonna sit out half the year, at least maybe the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: entire year. The Giants are gonna do this the right way. Okay,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: what a bet on that? No, and we'll get into it.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: But Dart's first start will come at home on Sunday
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: against Eddie Garcia's Chargers. There super fan Eddie Garcia's Chargers
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and his wife picked super fans there. Also Jim Harbaugh
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: he coaches the team, and Justin Herbert there. So that'll
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: be the match up the three to zero Chargers at
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium in Jersey. The Giants trying to wake up
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the echoes as they will take on the Chargers with
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a new quarterback. So let us discuss the question for
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: the esteem panel. Russell Wilson demoted Jackson. Dart is now
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: QB one for the Giants. Your thoughts on these developments
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: regarding the Giants, So I've got Mason, Jars, Kobe and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: human shields, and we will combine all of these things
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: together and we're going to make some fried rice, which
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: is highly underrated fried rice, well pretty much anything fried
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: is usually not good for you, but taste marvelous. All right,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: So a, this was the word I will use for
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the Giants quarterback change. Telegraphed. Telegraphed is the word I
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: will use. Everybody with half a brain saw this one coming.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had been running on fumes. What about the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys? Okay, that says more about the Cowboys.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: They suck. Okay, Russell Wilson, if you watched them. But
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: this is a year's long thing. Like how he ended
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: up getting that gig with the Giants is beyond me.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: He's been telling everyone I suck, and yet they said, no,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: you don't. We you don't suck enough. You have to
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: play for us because we want to make sure you suck.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: And so there you go. So Russell Wilson, who's been
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: running on low fuel, he's been slogging away for years
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: with multiple teams, no rhythm, no tempo to his game
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: at all. And Russell Wilson, who has less juice than
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: a Dollar store high Sea pack You know, there's not
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: allowed juice in those little packets they have at the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: dollar store. He's a football zombie at this particular point,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: but he's been a zombie. It's not a surprise. The
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: real surprise is who they're throwing Jackson dart against. Not
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: exactly a soft open. I've had friends of mine that
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: have been involved in restaurants and they always say, well,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: you gotta have the soft launch, friends and family, friends
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: and family. You have a date you're going to launch
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the restaurants. We have a night or two where it's
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: his friends and family. So everything gets lined up there
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: and that's it at all. The restaurant staff knows what
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: they're doing. Everything's lined up and not not exactly that.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: The Chargers off to a legit start. They have a
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: top ten defense in the NFL. So that's not a
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: cupcake with extra frosting. It is a trial by fire.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: It is our right, Jackson Dart. Our franchise is stunk
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: for ten years, So we'll throw you in the wood
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: chipper right away. No easing in to the deep end
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: you go. No easing in right now. You're not going
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: in the kiddie pool. You're going in the deep end
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: right now. There you go, so good luck on that.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: No chance to iron out the case. No, you did
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: play a little bit sporadically here the first couple or
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. So keep in mind, if they
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: had waited, if they being the team from New Jersey
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: that calls themselves with the Giants, if they had waited
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: a week, Jackson Dart would have broken in in a
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: very soft launch against the gumbo guys. The New Orleans Saints.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Saints go marching into embarrassment on a weekly basis. There,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that's the feel good component. That's the hey, we're gonna
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: go out there, you'll throw three touchdowns and throw for
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: three hundred yards and feel good about yourself. Instead, they
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: are saying, right, go out there against Derwin James and
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the Chargers, knock yourself out. Welcome to the NFL. Kid,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Here you go knock yourself well again. I'm fine with it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I've always said you go with it. There's this false
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: belief if you sit on the bench, you're going to
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: be great. There's plenty of examples of people that sat
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: on the bench. It also sucked. Either you've got it
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: or you don't have it. We'll find out whether Jackson
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Dart has it or not. I don't know. I didn't
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: think he was all that great in college. I thought
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: he was fine. I didn't think he would be anything
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Spettackler in the NFL. But there's other guys who were
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: in the NFL that I didn't think would be all
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: that great that have turned out to be pretty good.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: So it's a hit and miss situation. It's an imperfect
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: science and all that stuff, but it does show you
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the giants dysfunction. That's my other thought on this, the
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: dysfunction for the Giants because you've got Brian Dayball and
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Joe Shane the coach, and the GM there who are
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: essentially drinking moonshine from Mason Jars at Dick's last resort,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: because this is it. This is your last resort if
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: you're the coach and the GM there hoping that nobody
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: notices that you're getting sucker punched, and you're likely to
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: get sucker punched again here. And the reality is, if
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart is not prepared to hit the ground running here,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: and if he goes out there and sucks at a time,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you cannot suck does a cannonball and a belly whopper
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: against the Chargers, and they have to take him out
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: of the game for some reason because he's so bad
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: and they have to go to Russell Wilson again or
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. Well, let's just say the not so dynamic duo,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: the brains of the Giants operation. They should start updating
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: their LinkedIn page right now because they've got some issues there.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: And John Maher, the owner of the Giants, they for
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: some reason keep this group together. They should have gotten
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: rid of him at the end of last year. They
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: kept him around, John Merra. But if you look at it,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: it has been a revolving door. They are the Cleveland
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Browns of New York, that is, the New York Giants. One.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: The Jets are worse than the Cleveland Browns, but the
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Giants are like the Cleveland Browns. So they keep changing
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: coaches and all that stuff. Four coaches since they canned
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Tom Coughland back in the day, ten years. Four coaches.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: So the patience isn't endless for the Giants, but the
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: clock is a ticking. Certainly, no more honeymoon that's long gone.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: That Fluke playoff situation where they weren't that good and
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: they made the playoffs and then took advantage of the
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: incompetence of Kirk Cousins to beat the Vikings in a
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: playoff game. But you look at it now and there's
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: really no long term plans. It's just kind of a
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: reactionary move and you bench the veteran. And again, they
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: should have never signed Russell Wilson. That's the thing. You
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: didn't need Benjamin. You shouldn't have signed him. If the
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: overnight sports radio guy knows the quarterback is washed up,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: why do you not know that? You're getting paid a
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: lot more money than I am. You should know that,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: you dummies. It's ridiculous anyway, So they're gonna throw him
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: out there and get all dramatic and they're throwing him
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart to the wolves there. I don't want to
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: do that, but you'll buy at least a couple of weeks.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: In theory, this buys you at least a couple of weeks,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: and maybe you'll get some good headlines. The tabloids seem
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: to like this In New York. Reading some of the
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: tabloids there, it's desperate and typically it ends with everyone
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: getting fired because you started out owing three rather than
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: just start. You would have started owing three anyway, if
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: you started Jackson Dart at least then you can say,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: well he played well against the Cowboys and do all
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: that bull crap instead. Now you're owing three, and then
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's gonna take some time to get going here,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: so then you're looking at maybe one in six or
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: something along those lines. Good luck, good luck on that.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: This says dead man walking for Brian day Ball written
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: all over it. Now we move on, as for mister ulimited,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: mister unlimited, what was the monstrosity performance against Kensau City.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: The last time we will see Russell Wilson as a
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: regular starting quarterback in the NFL was that it didn't
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: know it at the time, But is that it so
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: in terms of Russell Wilson being given the keys to
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the kingdom and a team being as dumb, the dumb,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: dumb dumb as the Giants and giving him the keys,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I would say yes, that that's not going to happen.
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: It's impossible that Russell will start some games even this year,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: because Jackson Dart's either gonna get hurt or is going
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: to suck. That is obviously a possibility, but in terms
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: of his career arc, he is Dunskies cooked. He has
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: been microwaved, reheated, and tossed in the garbage disposal at
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: this particular point. Wilson is a football hobo, is what
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: he is. And he's hitch hiking down the dusty winnemuck
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: a road. Shout out Johnny Cash. He's got that knapsack,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: he's got that going for him. He's got thumb in
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the air and he's hoping that some desperate general manager
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: will pick him up at the trade deadline or again
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: in the offseason. But he was again washed in Denver.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: You could argue at the end of the run in
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Seattle he didn't look all that good. But the reason
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: he left Seattle, as I understand it, was he tried
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to usurp Pete Carroll. There was a power play and
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Russ did not win that battle, which is crazy because
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of years later, Pete Carroll wasn't let go anyway.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: So they're like, well, we're not gonna get rid of
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. We're gonna pick the coach over the quarterback.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: And then they got rid of the coach anyway, So
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: that's that's something different. But he was Washington, Denver, tumble
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: dried in Pittsburgh and now left to rust out with
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: the Giants. Like that car, you know, that kind of
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: disheveled house that everyone drives by and says, why is
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: that car rusted out in front of the house. That's like,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: that's terrible, it's embarrassing anyway, So there is no let's
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: ride like Russ les to say, it's let's hide. It
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: went from let's ride to let's hide. That's the new
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: message from Russell Wilson. And he's gone. In Seattle, he
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: was considered Kobe Beef Kobe, and now he is leftover
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: meat loaf in tupperware in the back of the refrigerator
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: that has not been eaten and is starting to turn colors.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: That's what's going on. So Russ's only hope now is
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of the supply chain shortage of quarterbacks
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: in the league. But again, I just can't imagine a
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: scenario where he's given the job. Now, can he get
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: the job because of injury? Sure, there's something like that
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: could happen, But going into a year like this year
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: where the Giants said you're a guy. No, that's not happening.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: You can sell himself as a not so savvy backup
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: quarterback
