- 1:15Speaker 1: five to forty four come from behind win at pitt
- 1:19Speaker 1: Back in two thousand and nine to complete a perfect
- 1:22Speaker 1: regular season. It's a really cool bobble head. And I'm
- 1:25Speaker 1: not just saying that because it includes an audio chip
- 1:29Speaker 1: combining my radio play by play with the TV call
- 1:32Speaker 1: of ESPN Sean McDonough. Here's my idea for a great
- 1:37Speaker 1: Bengals bobble head, and maybe somebody can do this for charity.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Picture Sam White in a big parka and a winner hat.
- 1:44Speaker 1: He's got his playsheet in his left hand and a
- 1:47Speaker 1: microphone in his right. You press the audio button, and
- 1:51Speaker 1: here's Sam say the following. Well, the next person that
- 1:55Speaker 1: sees anybody throw anything onto this field, point them out
- 1:59Speaker 1: and get him out of here. You don't live in Cleveland,
- 2:03Speaker 1: you live in Cincinnati. Now, that would be a great bobblehead.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Let's get to football. Heading into Sunday's game, Lamar Jackson
- 2:13Speaker 1: was on a pace to shatter the NFL record for
- 2:15Speaker 1: rushing yards in a season by a quarterback. Michael Vick
- 2:19Speaker 1: holds the record with one thirty nine yards. Jackson was
- 2:23Speaker 1: on a pace to top that by more than two hundred.
- 2:26Speaker 1: That's no surprise to the Bengals. In two previous starts
- 2:29Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, Jackson had rushed for one hundred nineteen yards
- 2:33Speaker 1: in the first game and a buck fifty two in
- 2:35Speaker 1: the second, so at the start of Sunday's game, the
- 2:39Speaker 1: Bengals defense was geared up to stop the run. The
- 2:43Speaker 1: Ravens opened the game in a pistol formation former Heisman
- 2:46Speaker 1: Trophy winner Lamar Jackson with another former Heisman Trophy winner
- 2:49Speaker 1: mark Ingram behind him. Jackson looking to throw, he fires
- 2:52Speaker 1: deep down the middle of the field over the shoulder
- 2:55Speaker 1: catch made at the Cincinnati thirty yard line. Jick antick
- 3:00Speaker 1: play to begin the game, as Hollywood Brown used his
- 3:03Speaker 1: blazing speed to get behind the Bengals secondary for a
- 3:07Speaker 1: forty nine yard game. Baltimore's opening drive consisted of five plays,
- 3:12Speaker 1: a Lamar Jackson run that lost one yard and five
- 3:16Speaker 1: passes that gained seventy six. I formation backfield on third
- 3:20Speaker 1: and goal from the two, Jackson fakes a handoff, throws
- 3:23Speaker 1: and it is caught at the goal line for a
- 3:26Speaker 1: touchdown by Mark Andrews. Here's Sam Hubbard on the Ravens
- 3:30Speaker 1: coming out throwing. They have the number one rushing attack
- 3:33Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know, we anticipated them running, trying
- 3:37Speaker 1: to run the ball down our throats, and they, you know,
- 3:40Speaker 1: they came out and did a great job passing the ball.
- 3:44Speaker 1: You know, Lamar Jackson can obviously run it, and showed
- 3:47Speaker 1: he can throw the ball too, So credit to them.
- 3:50Speaker 1: That really puts you in a bund, doesn't it. I mean,
- 3:52Speaker 1: there's there's no way to stop the run unless you
- 3:54Speaker 1: are loading up to try to defend it. And then
- 3:57Speaker 1: he showed his passing ability. Yeah. Plus he had a
- 4:00Speaker 1: lot of run play options and play action passes, which
- 4:04Speaker 1: you know, we're first thing you gotta do is, like
- 4:06Speaker 1: you said, stop the run. But they did a great
- 4:08Speaker 1: job of, you know, having the passing attack off of it.
- 4:11Speaker 1: The second time the Ravens got the ball, they went
- 4:13Speaker 1: to the ground game. A twelve play drive consisted of
- 4:16Speaker 1: ten running plays, but the big play on the drive
- 4:20Speaker 1: was another Lamar Jackson pass. Jackson, with all data throw
- 4:25Speaker 1: hips a fastball to boil, breaks a tackle, charges toward
- 4:28Speaker 1: the end zone and gets tackled at the one yard line.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Jesse Bates gambled and lost lost badly. I talked to
- 4:35Speaker 1: Jesse after the game. Is Jackson better as a passer
- 4:38Speaker 1: than people give him credit for. Oh absolutely. Um. I
- 4:41Speaker 1: played against him in college for I mean my whole
- 4:45Speaker 1: career there, so um, you know, I've got a little
- 4:47Speaker 1: familiar with Lamar playing against them, So I've seen him
- 4:52Speaker 1: sling it for years, and I've seen him run it.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I mean, you just don't see a lot of running quarterbacks,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and when he runs, everybody just thinks of that. So
- 5:00Speaker 1: I think he's very dynamic once you get him, Moss
- 5:02Speaker 1: on the pocket to own the ball. The thirty five
- 5:04Speaker 1: yard passed to Nick Boyle led to a one yard
- 5:06Speaker 1: touchdown run by Mark Ingram and Baltimore led fourteen nothing
- 5:10Speaker 1: at the end of the first quarter. A Randy Bullock
- 5:13Speaker 1: field goal put the Bengals on the scoreboard early in
- 5:15Speaker 1: the second. Then Jackson went right back to work. Now
- 5:19Speaker 1: the tight end, Hayden Hurst motions from left to right.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson fakes an inside handoff, throws toward the end zone,
- 5:24Speaker 1: and Mark Andrews is wide open for a Baltimore touchdown.
- 5:29Speaker 1: It was twenty one to three Baltimore, and at that
- 5:31Speaker 1: point Lamar Jackson was ten for ten for one hundred
- 5:35Speaker 1: and seventy one yards with two touchdowns and no picks.
- 5:39Speaker 1: That was impossible for Ryan Finley to match in his
- 5:42Speaker 1: first NFL start, but the Bengals were able to move
- 5:46Speaker 1: the ball thanks to Joe Mixon. Finley hands it to
- 5:50Speaker 1: Mixon and he charges for the first down. Boy, he
- 5:52Speaker 1: hit the aligne of scrimmageer. They had a steam and
- 5:55Speaker 1: forward progress took him to the Baltimore forty eight. He
- 5:58Speaker 1: took off like he's running a time forty yard dash.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I mean, he said, you know what I'm gonna I'm
- 6:03Speaker 1: gonna run through the Great Wall of China. Flight need
- 6:05Speaker 1: to look like a drug bust with a battering ram oh.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Mixon ran angry all afternoon, carrying a career high thirty
- 6:15Speaker 1: times for one hundred and fourteen yards against the NFL's
- 6:18Speaker 1: second best run defense, far and away his best game
- 6:22Speaker 1: of the year. That my teammates they killing on me,
- 6:24Speaker 1: and you know, they expect me to be a one
- 6:26Speaker 1: hundred percent and available each and every snap. And you
- 6:29Speaker 1: know the opportunities that I get, you know, I just
- 6:31Speaker 1: try to make the most of them and you know,
- 6:33Speaker 1: try to keep them up. I Mean it's tough out there,
- 6:35Speaker 1: but I just gotta keep going. I mean, you see
- 6:37Speaker 1: what we could do um. Like I said, Man, I
- 6:40Speaker 1: just only hope to, you know, keep building on the
- 6:43Speaker 1: performance and in the run game, and you know, being
- 6:45Speaker 1: available and going hard for my teammates. Now, I'll take
- 6:48Speaker 1: pride in this stuff. And you know, I just you know,
- 6:51Speaker 1: I just want to win, man, and I just want
- 6:52Speaker 1: to put on a team in the best position possible.
- 6:54Speaker 1: That's it. Mixon's hard running. He helped the Bengals drive
- 6:57Speaker 1: into the red zone where a touchdown was scored, but
- 7:00Speaker 1: not by Cincinnati. Finley drops straight back to throw looking forever,
- 7:04Speaker 1: intercepted Humphrey running it back and it looks like he'll
- 7:08Speaker 1: take it to the house. Make that Marcus Peters on
- 7:11Speaker 1: the run back and it's his second pick six as
- 7:15Speaker 1: a member of the Baltimore Ravens. And man, I'll tell
- 7:18Speaker 1: you what. Ryan Finley got stroked. LJ. Ford put a
- 7:22Speaker 1: block on Ryan Finley. Oh Man, took him off his feet,
- 7:27Speaker 1: destroyed him on that return. It was an eighty nine
- 7:30Speaker 1: yard return that made it twenty eight to three. Here's
- 7:34Speaker 1: Ryan Finley on his costly I NT that was just
- 7:37Speaker 1: a good play by Marcus Peters. Um kind of just
- 7:40Speaker 1: can't leave it, can't leave it on his back hip
- 7:43Speaker 1: like that and an inside um so, uh, you know
- 7:47Speaker 1: that's that's completely on me. I gotta I gotta take
- 7:49Speaker 1: that off the tape and then uh kind of just
- 7:51Speaker 1: ball security. You know, we talked about it, so um
- 7:54Speaker 1: ball securities at a premium. To his credit, Finley bounced
- 7:57Speaker 1: right back and drove the Bengals seventy yards for their
- 8:00Speaker 1: first TD. Finley waiting for a shotgun snap back at
- 8:03Speaker 1: the eleven yard line, Hopkins fires it back. Finley throws
- 8:06Speaker 1: into the end zone for Eiffert. He leaps, he comes
- 8:09Speaker 1: down with the ball, touchdown Bengals as he used his
- 8:15Speaker 1: size to go up and over Brandon car and haul
- 8:18Speaker 1: in Ryan Finley's first career touchdown pass. Finley finished sixteen
- 8:24Speaker 1: for thirty for one hundred and sixty seven yards with
- 8:27Speaker 1: a passer rating of sixty six point nine. His only
- 8:31Speaker 1: interception was followed immediately by his only touchdown. Bad plays
- 8:36Speaker 1: are gonna happen. That's about as bad as it gets,
- 8:39Speaker 1: you know, on a good drive, about to go score
- 8:41Speaker 1: and pick six. But you know, what are you gonna do?
- 8:44Speaker 1: You got you gotta bounce back, you know, lead touchdown drives.
- 8:47Speaker 1: It was a twenty eight to ten game at the half.
- 8:50Speaker 1: The first time the Ravens got the ball in the
- 8:52Speaker 1: third quarter, Jackson provided a highlight that few quarterbacks in
- 8:56Speaker 1: history can match. Second down in three, Jackson fakes a handoff,
- 9:01Speaker 1: runs to the left. Here he goes. He's to the
- 9:03Speaker 1: forty great spinbove to the thirty twenty five twenty fifteen
- 9:06Speaker 1: ten five touchdown. What a run by Lamar Jackson. As
- 9:12Speaker 1: good as it gets in the National Football League. I'll
- 9:15Speaker 1: tell you what. He had two of the tightest spins,
- 9:18Speaker 1: like a whirling dervish. That forty seven yard sprint made
- 9:22Speaker 1: it thirty five to ten. Here's Sam Hubbard. You know,
- 9:25Speaker 1: I think he solidified his you know himself in the
- 9:28Speaker 1: MVP race. And you know there's a reason for it.
- 9:32Speaker 1: He's one of the most dynamic electric players in the NFL.
- 9:37Speaker 1: And Jackson wasn't finished. Baltimore has it. At the Cincinnati twenty.
- 9:41Speaker 1: The Ravens go with an empty backfield in five wides.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Cincinnati sends a blitz Jackson throws before getting hit. It
- 9:48Speaker 1: is caught in the end zone by Hollywood Brown for
- 9:51Speaker 1: another Lamar Jackson touchdown pass and Lamar third of the day.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Jackson finished fifteen for seventeen for two hundred twenty three yards,
- 10:00Speaker 1: with three touchdowns, no picks, and a perfect passer rating
- 10:03Speaker 1: of one fifty eight point three. It's the second time
- 10:06Speaker 1: he's done that this year, making Lamar Jackson the first
- 10:11Speaker 1: quarterback in NFL history to have two perfect passer rating
- 10:15Speaker 1: games in the same season. Safety Shawn Williams did not
- 10:20Speaker 1: hold back with his praise for Jackson after the game.
- 10:24Speaker 1: How hard is it to defend Lamar when you gear
- 10:27Speaker 1: up to stop the run and then he comes out
- 10:29Speaker 1: winging it around at the beginning of the game. I
- 10:31Speaker 1: don't gonna say it's impossible, but it's not. But it's
- 10:35Speaker 1: damn impossible. I mean it's hard. I mean he's hot
- 10:38Speaker 1: right now, man, I mean he is who is probo
- 10:41Speaker 1: all pro MVP. He's a cannont fall of it. So,
- 10:46Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I don't know how to
- 10:48Speaker 1: stop it. Is he a better thrower than most people realize? Absolutely?
- 10:52Speaker 1: I mean to throw that he made on their for
- 10:54Speaker 1: sideline to the Titan eighty one, I'm standing right then.
- 10:57Speaker 1: I'm like, he threw it at such an angle and
- 10:59Speaker 1: I'm like, Holy how did he complete that? I don't
- 11:01Speaker 1: know how he completed it. But he did. I mean,
- 11:04Speaker 1: look at even the one he completed the jets on Jesse,
- 11:06Speaker 1: Like I thought he threw the ball underhanded? Did he
- 11:08Speaker 1: side art? Yeah? I mean like I called the last
- 11:11Speaker 1: glints and I'm like, holy yeah. And then you have
- 11:17Speaker 1: the running throughout that forty seven yard running had whether
- 11:20Speaker 1: a tight spin move that's about as good as it
- 11:23Speaker 1: gets for running back, much less than a quarterback. Absolutely.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I mean, like you were just talking about the quarterback,
- 11:28Speaker 1: like you haven't even like gotten to like mark Ingram
- 11:30Speaker 1: and how he can like what he could do. So,
- 11:32Speaker 1: I mean they have multiple as multiple threats could get.
- 11:37Speaker 1: So I don't know what to tell you how to
- 11:40Speaker 1: stop it. I hete anyone that knows how to stop it.
- 11:43Speaker 1: I hear the respect in your voice. I mean it's
- 11:46Speaker 1: it's a grudging hey, right now, it's almost impossible. Yeah,
- 11:50Speaker 1: it is. I mean, like COSI like that team might
- 11:52Speaker 1: go to win the Super Bowl, go to the Super Bowl.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, like I said, I don't know
- 11:57Speaker 1: how to stop it. They're hot, they have probably like
- 12:00Speaker 1: the MVP quarterback. I don't know, so when their fans
- 12:05Speaker 1: are chanting MVP, you're thinking, yeah, you're right, I mean
- 12:09Speaker 1: he got my vote for he got my vote vote definitely.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I mean he's definitely the best that I've faced this year.
- 12:13Speaker 1: And hats off to him and what they're doing over there,
- 12:17Speaker 1: and and you know when he can do that and
- 12:19Speaker 1: put up those points and look at the defense, look
- 12:21Speaker 1: at what the defense can do. When you playing with
- 12:23Speaker 1: a twenty point thirty point lead, you just tee off,
- 12:26Speaker 1: you blitz and you you you get more confident. You've
- 12:29Speaker 1: got nothing to lose at that point. So that's why
- 12:31Speaker 1: you see Earl making the plays, um car and making
- 12:35Speaker 1: the plays and just the rest of them. So that's
- 12:37Speaker 1: what it is. It's the other side of the ball.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I know you guys are working on you know, doing
- 12:43Speaker 1: your thing, but are you excited to see Joe have
- 12:46Speaker 1: the kind of game that he had today? I mean,
- 12:48Speaker 1: not only Joe was, just the other eleven, include other
- 12:52Speaker 1: ten including Joe. Like nobody's quitting, nobody's surrendering, nobody's nobody's
- 12:57Speaker 1: giving up. Like you're still pushing forward, you're still winning.
- 13:00Speaker 1: We'll try trying to win your one on one matchup,
- 13:02Speaker 1: trying to win a football game. So that M proud
- 13:05Speaker 1: of even on defense, like we never never like quit later,
- 13:09Speaker 1: But no one tapped out. You still gotta play football.
- 13:11Speaker 1: You gotta like the last fourteen minutes the game. You
- 13:14Speaker 1: got tackle. You know that you're they're gonna get it.
- 13:15Speaker 1: They're gonna get into personnels. They were winning personnel. They're
- 13:18Speaker 1: gonna win a ball, So what are you gonna do.
- 13:19Speaker 1: The game's final touchdown was scored by the Ravens defense
- 13:23Speaker 1: shotgun snap back to Finley retreats in trouble, Sack loses
- 13:27Speaker 1: the ball, scooped up and running it back for Baltimore
- 13:31Speaker 1: is Tious Bowser and he'll run it into the end
- 13:34Speaker 1: zone for a Ravens touchdown. Boy. A fourth quarter field
- 13:37Speaker 1: goal by Randy Bullock made the final score forty nine thirteen.
- 13:42Speaker 1: The Bengals are owing nine. They've tied a franchise record
- 13:45Speaker 1: by losing eleven consecutive games, and since the Dolphins and
- 13:49Speaker 1: Jets both won their second game of the season on Sunday,
- 13:53Speaker 1: Cincinnati's chances of having the number one pick in next
- 13:56Speaker 1: year's draft got a little bit stronger. The red Skins
- 14:00Speaker 1: have the second worst record in the NFL at one
- 14:03Speaker 1: and eight. After the game, Dave Lapham spent four minutes
- 14:06Speaker 1: with Zach Taylor. Obviously, you know, didn't unfold the way
- 14:10Speaker 1: you wanted it to. The two turnovers that that result
- 14:13Speaker 1: in touchdowns. I mean, you know, I talked with Ryan
- 14:15Speaker 1: about it. He knows, you know, it's got to take
- 14:17Speaker 1: care of the football a little bit better than that.
- 14:18Speaker 1: But the positives, I say, you know, it didn't. The
- 14:21Speaker 1: kid doesn't seem like he gets rattled. I mean, he
- 14:23Speaker 1: went out there and had some good staffs for you,
- 14:25Speaker 1: but if he eliminates those, I thought in terms of
- 14:28Speaker 1: change and protection, seeing what he was supposed to see,
- 14:30Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty good. There was a lot
- 14:32Speaker 1: of positives he had there, and then just the biggest
- 14:33Speaker 1: thing going forward is not making the same mistake twice.
- 14:36Speaker 1: You know, he threw a pick six against the corner
- 14:38Speaker 1: who he really identified cover zero, got us out of
- 14:41Speaker 1: a bad play, tried to get us to a check
- 14:42Speaker 1: we talked about, and you got Marks Peters just got
- 14:45Speaker 1: a history of doing that kind of stuff. He did it,
- 14:46Speaker 1: and credit to him, he made the play. There was
- 14:49Speaker 1: a lot of things to be encouraged about from Ryan.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I thought his preparation of the course of the week.
- 14:53Speaker 1: He really hasn't taken any reps over the last eight weeks,
- 14:55Speaker 1: and so if we've got to get the reps this
- 14:57Speaker 1: week against one of the top defenses in the league,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and he did a lot of really positive things and
- 15:01Speaker 1: it's just something we got to build on going forward.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I saw you sprinting down the sideline looking like you
- 15:06Speaker 1: were trying to call a time out. Was it just
- 15:08Speaker 1: the play clock winding down or did you see something
- 15:10Speaker 1: you didn't like or well it was it was a
- 15:11Speaker 1: tough look. He was getting this, so a check we
- 15:13Speaker 1: talked about and again I was concerned that we're gonna
- 15:15Speaker 1: run out of time there, so I was ready to
- 15:16Speaker 1: call time out. But they made a play there. In hindsight,
- 15:20Speaker 1: man with the official hood, did he not grant it
- 15:22Speaker 1: or just trust me, there's a lot of things in
- 15:24Speaker 1: hindsight that you wish you'd gone differently, and you just
- 15:27Speaker 1: have to be able to move on to the next
- 15:28Speaker 1: play and not like you tend to get not not
- 15:31Speaker 1: focused on what could have just happened there, and it
- 15:34Speaker 1: didn't happen. They made a play. We got to move
- 15:35Speaker 1: on and respond. When I thought the next drive we did.
- 15:37Speaker 1: We went down and scored a touchdown and ate up
- 15:39Speaker 1: all the clock before the half. We were gonna get
- 15:40Speaker 1: the ball back down twenty eight to ten, and again
- 15:43Speaker 1: we just had to turn it run downs. They were
- 15:45Speaker 1: start the half running game two weeks in a row.
- 15:47Speaker 1: You know, Rams out rush, the Rams out rush this
- 15:50Speaker 1: football team. I thought you made a good little adjustment
- 15:53Speaker 1: with the blocking scheme and the three technique. I've talked
- 15:56Speaker 1: to everybody about it, but doubling that three technique and
- 15:58Speaker 1: then pulling the center around you guys got some mileage
- 16:01Speaker 1: out of that. Joe read that out pretty well. Yeah.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I thought Jim Turner did a great job with the
- 16:04Speaker 1: playing in the last two weeks, putting us in position
- 16:07Speaker 1: to be able to get the running game going. And
- 16:09Speaker 1: we've seen all season that we were we were close,
- 16:11Speaker 1: you know, and nobody wants to hear that, but we've
- 16:13Speaker 1: known it and believed it, and so the last two
- 16:16Speaker 1: weeks it started to pay off and we know that
- 16:18Speaker 1: we're trending in the right direction there. I guess what
- 16:20Speaker 1: can you say about Lamar Jackson. I mean, he'll he'll
- 16:23Speaker 1: douge you with his feet and then he today had
- 16:25Speaker 1: a perfect quarterback rading mean, the kid, the kids playing
- 16:27Speaker 1: some ball, he's special. He's playing with a lot of confidence.
- 16:30Speaker 1: The team's playing with a lot of confidence. You can't
- 16:32Speaker 1: afford to make some of the little mistakes we made
- 16:34Speaker 1: there in the second third quarter that that really put
- 16:36Speaker 1: us out of it against the team that's playing like
- 16:38Speaker 1: that right now. And he's dynamic and all we interest
- 16:42Speaker 1: see what people do try to stop him the rest
- 16:43Speaker 1: of the way. When he runs the football, he's like
- 16:45Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. You know, my pregame was like, don't let
- 16:48Speaker 1: him write he's the Barry Sanders of running quarterbacks. Make
- 16:50Speaker 1: him throw it. Man, I eat my words, you know.
- 16:52Speaker 1: I mean, the dude can throw it. He did. I mean,
- 16:54Speaker 1: he's and those guys, those guys play well for him.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Some of those tight ends made some of the most
- 16:59Speaker 1: impressious bust of catches I've seen all season. And so
- 17:02Speaker 1: he really is just elevating the players around him, and
- 17:04Speaker 1: you're getting the best from all those guys. And you know,
- 17:08Speaker 1: it's it's a team that we can't make the mistakes
- 17:10Speaker 1: we made against if we want a chance to win.
- 17:12Speaker 1: That run that he had for a touchdown when he
- 17:14Speaker 1: had the tight spin, I mean, man, that's gonna that's
- 17:17Speaker 1: a video game thing right there. It is. It's hard.
- 17:19Speaker 1: We got to be cleaner tackling. There was a couple
- 17:21Speaker 1: examples and some of those touchdown runs where we got
- 17:23Speaker 1: to do a better job of of, you know, wrapping
- 17:25Speaker 1: up and driving our feet and winning those fifty fifty
- 17:28Speaker 1: tackling battles, and we just didn't get it done today.
- 17:30Speaker 1: The way the running game is starting to, you know,
- 17:32Speaker 1: get unlocked a little bit though. With a young quarterback,
- 17:35Speaker 1: it's any quarterbacks best friend. With a young quarterback, it's
- 17:37Speaker 1: his best best friend, right it is. You know, it's
- 17:40Speaker 1: it's something we got to continue to harp on and
- 17:43Speaker 1: find ways to be creative and increase some opportunities for
- 17:46Speaker 1: ourselves and build the play actions and the nakeds off
- 17:49Speaker 1: of that stuff. But step in the right direction of
- 17:51Speaker 1: that regard. Let's good to see Tyler Eiffort get a
- 17:53Speaker 1: touchdown reception that was you know, he's a mismatch. I mean,
- 17:57Speaker 1: he's tough. He's tough in the red zone. It is,
- 17:59Speaker 1: you know, it's it was a great ball, great ball
- 18:01Speaker 1: by Ryan first of all, and a great catch by
- 18:03Speaker 1: Tyler and he got two feet in and you know,
- 18:06Speaker 1: we needed that at the point of the game. So
- 18:07Speaker 1: he stepped up defense coach. I mean it was in
- 18:11Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of their averaging ten yards of play
- 18:13Speaker 1: and they'd only got into third down like three times.
- 18:15Speaker 1: I mean, they were so productive on first and second down.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Is it just is a matter of better tackling? Is
- 18:21Speaker 1: it a matter of being in the right gap? Is
- 18:23Speaker 1: a matter of everything? What is it? You know that
- 18:26Speaker 1: there were some examples of tackling. There's some examples with
- 18:28Speaker 1: the ball in there. We're in a position to make
- 18:29Speaker 1: a play. It's it's one on one. You got that
- 18:31Speaker 1: guy in man coverage. You gotta step up and make
- 18:32Speaker 1: the play. And they didn't. We didn't, And that's really
- 18:34Speaker 1: what it came down to in a lot of examples.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Now time for postgame analysis, and we start by discussing
- 18:41Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. His passer rating for this season is up
- 18:44Speaker 1: to one on one point seven. He's on a pace
- 18:47Speaker 1: to run for one thousand, two hundred and forty eight
- 18:51Speaker 1: yards and in his first sixteen starts for Baltimore, the
- 18:55Speaker 1: Ravens are thirteen and three, including three and oz against Cincinnati.
- 19:00Speaker 1: He is his own video game. He is, you know,
- 19:04Speaker 1: in college, he was a man amongst boys in the NFL.
- 19:07Speaker 1: For him to make it man amongst boys. He's doing
- 19:10Speaker 1: what he did in college. It's it's unbelievably. He won
- 19:12Speaker 1: the Heisman college and tracking to be a strong MVP candidate, obviously,
- 19:17Speaker 1: and he made meet my words, you know, I said
- 19:20Speaker 1: in the pregame, he's Barry Sanders running it. Make him
- 19:22Speaker 1: throw it, perfect quarterback rating three touchdown passes, I mean
- 19:27Speaker 1: he had, he had two incompletions and like you said
- 19:29Speaker 1: a few times during the game, one of them was
- 19:30Speaker 1: a spike to stop the clock. Unbelievable and the one
- 19:35Speaker 1: that the other one that fell incomplete, he gave him
- 19:37Speaker 1: a chance. It was a perfect ball. And he's throwing
- 19:40Speaker 1: from different arm angles. He's slotting his arm differently. He is.
- 19:43Speaker 1: He's a freakazoid. And you know everybody's saying, is he
- 19:48Speaker 1: changing how they're going to run offense in the NFL?
- 19:51Speaker 1: Find another one like him? He's not. He's not one
- 19:55Speaker 1: in a decade, He's one in a millennium. I mean,
- 19:57Speaker 1: the guy is like he's he's good a runner of
- 20:04Speaker 1: the football quarterback I've seen, and he's proven himself to
- 20:08Speaker 1: be way better than everts thrown. And I think the
- 20:11Speaker 1: Bengals are happy they don't have to see him again
- 20:13Speaker 1: this year, no question. I mean the first time they
- 20:15Speaker 1: saw him he went for one hundred and fifty two.
- 20:18Speaker 1: So you know, I'm thinking, don't let him be Barry
- 20:21Speaker 1: Sanders again. Make him play quarterback all he does and
- 20:24Speaker 1: next time they see him as he pitches of one
- 20:26Speaker 1: fifty eight point three, he no. You know, perfect game,
- 20:30Speaker 1: Tom stevers Um, I mean, it's like, what can't this
- 20:33Speaker 1: guy do? So? And Greg Roman got to tip my
- 20:37Speaker 1: cap to him. Even in the passing game, everything is
- 20:40Speaker 1: very simple. Utilizing the tight ends is tight ends made
- 20:43Speaker 1: great plays for him. You know, he's got Hollywood Brown
- 20:46Speaker 1: to make the speed plays. He's got the big tight
- 20:48Speaker 1: ends that are control in the middle of the football field.
- 20:51Speaker 1: I mean play action. When they run play action, it
- 20:54Speaker 1: is legit because they can hurt just so bad running
- 20:56Speaker 1: the football. You have to respect it. And there's huge
- 21:00Speaker 1: cavities between linebackers and safeties and man and Lamar Jackson.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Dan He's can throw you know, the Quisonberry. He can
- 21:06Speaker 1: throw over the top, he can throw anywhere he needs
- 21:08Speaker 1: to throw it. He changes his arms, slaughter his arm angle,
- 21:11Speaker 1: and he's very very special, very unique guy. There's no
- 21:14Speaker 1: question the Ravens where the number one running team in
- 21:17Speaker 1: the NFL coming into the game. So Baltimore on the
- 21:19Speaker 1: opening drive begins with a forty nine yard pass. They
- 21:23Speaker 1: had seventy five yards to score a touchdown on their
- 21:26Speaker 1: first drive. Seventy six passing minus one rushing. You have
- 21:31Speaker 1: to load up the defense to stop the run, and
- 21:33Speaker 1: that gives Lamar Jackson wide open targets. Great great call
- 21:36Speaker 1: by the by Greg Roman and the offensive staff to say, okay,
- 21:39Speaker 1: let's go contrarian. We gashed him running the football. We
- 21:43Speaker 1: know they're going to crowd the line of scrimmage, they're
- 21:45Speaker 1: gonna take away that running game. Let's just let's just
- 21:47Speaker 1: make them alter their game plan right away. Let's throw
- 21:49Speaker 1: it over their heads. Hollywood. Brian won, Hollywood. He went
- 21:52Speaker 1: over the top and Lamar Jackson layman out there for him.
- 21:55Speaker 1: So yeah, it's like, oh, you know, now what? And
- 21:59Speaker 1: you know then the defense comes up and with two
- 22:01Speaker 1: takeaways for touchdowns, so they outscored the Bengals defensively. Bengals
- 22:05Speaker 1: only had one touchdown in the day and they had two,
- 22:08Speaker 1: they scoring fourteen to ten. To compliment what's going on
- 22:11Speaker 1: without offense, So the Ravens right now are playing complimentary football.
- 22:15Speaker 1: They're playing as well as anybody in the NFL right now,
- 22:18Speaker 1: a five game winning streak. And you know when they
- 22:21Speaker 1: go to Seattle and beat Seattle, they beat the Patriots
- 22:24Speaker 1: on Sunday night football at Baltimore. That's a legit football team.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Found out how legit. Today, Ryan Finley made his first
- 22:31Speaker 1: NFL start. He threw his first NFL touchdown, passed the
- 22:34Speaker 1: Tyler Riifer. What were your overall impressions of his performance? Obviously,
- 22:38Speaker 1: you know, some good, some very bad. You know, you
- 22:41Speaker 1: certainly don't want to throw the interception. Talk to Zack
- 22:45Speaker 1: in the postgame about it. He was frantically sprinting down
- 22:47Speaker 1: the sideline trying to call a time out because the
- 22:49Speaker 1: play he thought to play clock was going to expire,
- 22:51Speaker 1: and he said that they Finley made a check that
- 22:54Speaker 1: they had and he made the right check. Peters just
- 22:57Speaker 1: made a better play. And that's what a you know,
- 22:59Speaker 1: a roll a bowl type cornerback will do, bait a
- 23:01Speaker 1: little bit and break on it. And he made the
- 23:04Speaker 1: play on him. And and then ball security in the pocket,
- 23:06Speaker 1: you know, is going to be something that he's gonna
- 23:08Speaker 1: have to learn. And the key is don't repeat those mistakes,
- 23:12Speaker 1: you know, learn from him. And talking to Ryan in
- 23:15Speaker 1: the locker room after the game, you know, he said, man,
- 23:18Speaker 1: I saw and learned a lot today in terms of
- 23:21Speaker 1: I mean not just audibilizing out of one play to another,
- 23:24Speaker 1: but one protection to another, because Baltimore does so much
- 23:28Speaker 1: and they change things, you know, during the course of
- 23:30Speaker 1: your cadency. Even so, Trey Hopkins was throwing a lot
- 23:34Speaker 1: of compliments at Ryan Finley. Ryan Finley throwing a lot
- 23:36Speaker 1: of compliments at Trey Hopkins, you know, the way they
- 23:39Speaker 1: handled all that part of it. So there was some
- 23:41Speaker 1: good and Ryan I thought, you know, game management for
- 23:44Speaker 1: that part it was great. And then the other thing
- 23:46Speaker 1: is when you have a tragedy, how do you handle it?
- 23:49Speaker 1: Do you assume the fetal position and roll over and
- 23:51Speaker 1: play dead the rest of the game. Where do you
- 23:52Speaker 1: do something about it? And after the first one, he
- 23:54Speaker 1: went on his touchdown drive and responded. So they moved
- 23:58Speaker 1: the ball. They just you know, to make more plays
- 24:01Speaker 1: again in the red zone. It was good to see
- 24:03Speaker 1: Tyler Eifford catch a touchdown pass, but they have that
- 24:07Speaker 1: touchdown on the red zone. Other than that, they had
- 24:09Speaker 1: two red zone penetrations where they got nothing, they had
- 24:12Speaker 1: to pick six and lost the ball on down. So
- 24:14Speaker 1: you have to be more consistent. You know, thirty three percent,
- 24:18Speaker 1: that's what they were coming in. That's last in the league.
- 24:21Speaker 1: You might think it's hard to find a positive after
- 24:23Speaker 1: forty nine to thirteen loss, but there was one and
- 24:26Speaker 1: an obvious one on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium, and
- 24:28Speaker 1: that was the running of Joe Mixon. Thirty carries a
- 24:31Speaker 1: new career high one hundred fourteen yards, the first time
- 24:34Speaker 1: this year he's cracked a hundred. Yeah, our good friend
- 24:37Speaker 1: Jeff Puts Hobson is going to be disappointed when the
- 24:39Speaker 1: Bengals carry it thirty times. When more they're undefeated or whatever.
- 24:42Speaker 1: We not in this situation, not playing a team like
- 24:46Speaker 1: the Bengals played today. The thing about Joe Mixon that
- 24:49Speaker 1: impressed me so much is how hard he ran every
- 24:52Speaker 1: single opportunity, even when they were down thirty. Joe's bringing it,
- 24:56Speaker 1: and you know that's that's gonna pay dividends at some
- 24:59Speaker 1: point time, because you know his teammates notice that, and
- 25:03Speaker 1: you know then he starts to one of the best
- 25:05Speaker 1: players in the team going as hard as he's going
- 25:07Speaker 1: all those things will raise the boat a little bit.
- 25:10Speaker 1: So Joe's got to keep that mindset, that mentality, can't
- 25:14Speaker 1: get frustrated, just has to, you know, get after it.
- 25:17Speaker 1: And he was really good in the post game locker
- 25:19Speaker 1: room talking about it. You know, obviously he was disappointed,
- 25:23Speaker 1: and he's a winner. I mean, he hates losing football games.
- 25:27Speaker 1: He's probably lost more football games this year than he
- 25:29Speaker 1: ever lost in high school and college combined by a
- 25:31Speaker 1: long shot. So it's a it's a new learning experience
- 25:36Speaker 1: for him. But if he keeps running like he did,
- 25:39Speaker 1: and I thought the offensive line control the line of
- 25:41Speaker 1: scrimmage as well as they have all season long as
- 25:43Speaker 1: well against a damn good defensive front. So those are
- 25:46Speaker 1: encouraging signs with the young quarterback trying to find his
- 25:49Speaker 1: way in the NFL. Next the road game in Oakland
- 25:53Speaker 1: against the five and four Raiders, and since the Chiefs
- 25:56Speaker 1: lost at Tennessee on Sunday, Oakland is only a half
- 25:59Speaker 1: game him out of first in the AFC West. Now
- 26:03Speaker 1: time for this week's fun Facts interview, where we get
- 26:05Speaker 1: to know the person under the pads. This week, it's
- 26:09Speaker 1: a massive defensive lineman taken in the fourth round of
- 26:13Speaker 1: this year's draft. Time for some fun facts with defensive
- 26:16Speaker 1: lineman Ronell ren from Saint Louis, Missouri. You are the
- 26:20Speaker 1: son of a police officer. Correct, it's correct. Tell me
- 26:23Speaker 1: a little bit about the lessons you got from your dad.
- 26:26Speaker 1: I mean, really, the biggest thing would just being a
- 26:28Speaker 1: discipline in the house. My father always told me to
- 26:31Speaker 1: you know, never everybody always emphasized on like nothing goes
- 26:36Speaker 1: on past twelve o'clock midnight. So being able to have
- 26:40Speaker 1: an understanding, getting my schoolwork done, playing football and then
- 26:44Speaker 1: coming home and everything and just starting the day back up.
- 26:46Speaker 1: You know, it's a blessing to have a father in
- 26:48Speaker 1: my life still to this day. So discipline is the
- 26:51Speaker 1: biggest thing. So basically I had to emphasize on I'd
- 26:57Speaker 1: rather be taught in the house and be disciplined in
- 26:59Speaker 1: how to being disciplined on the streets. We're visiting with
- 27:02Speaker 1: Renelle Ran. You're a big man. Were you always the
- 27:05Speaker 1: big kid in the neighborhood? I was always the big
- 27:08Speaker 1: kid in neighborhood. I really hit my grossper doing high school, Yes, sir.
- 27:12Speaker 1: In youth sports, did the parents if the opposing players
- 27:15Speaker 1: wonder if you were older than their kid. You know
- 27:17Speaker 1: what the crazy thing is, They never came to me
- 27:19Speaker 1: knowing or asking if I was like older than like
- 27:22Speaker 1: the other people and everything. They just knew because of
- 27:24Speaker 1: my side, they knew something wasn't right. But you know,
- 27:27Speaker 1: I'm very blessed to what I have and everything, and
- 27:30Speaker 1: just uses that towards a football field and everything. So
- 27:32Speaker 1: what were your other interests as you're growing up? Oh? Really?
- 27:35Speaker 1: I was a basketball player first, so I played basketball
- 27:39Speaker 1: when I was seven years old, played ever since then.
- 27:42Speaker 1: I didn't start football until my junior in high school.
- 27:46Speaker 1: So my coach told me, I can't do both in college,
- 27:49Speaker 1: so you rather do basketball football. And I feel like
- 27:52Speaker 1: I was better at football because I couldn't jibb or
- 27:54Speaker 1: shoot the ball to save my life. So I just
- 27:56Speaker 1: stick to this sport and then look where it got me. Hey,
- 27:58Speaker 1: there's room and a basketball team though for a guy
- 28:00Speaker 1: that plays defense and grabs rebounds, now you ain't you
- 28:03Speaker 1: ain't lying, But somebody in my side being six four
- 28:06Speaker 1: back then when I was two fifteen, two twenty, you know,
- 28:08Speaker 1: they usually drove the ball up to court. I was
- 28:10Speaker 1: just a postman and doing my thing down there. So
- 28:14Speaker 1: the game change, I gained a lot more weight, So
- 28:17Speaker 1: you know, I'm in an interior and I'm in the trenches.
- 28:21Speaker 1: We're doing fun facts with Ronell rand. You attended Lutheran
- 28:24Speaker 1: North High School in the Saint Louis area. Did you
- 28:26Speaker 1: take the school work seriously at that age? I really did. Um,
- 28:30Speaker 1: To be honest, I didn't take my grade serious until
- 28:33Speaker 1: I started getting recruited for football my junior and senior year,
- 28:36Speaker 1: So I really had to stay in the books, and
- 28:38Speaker 1: you know, I really had to be the teacher's pet
- 28:39Speaker 1: to receive the grades that I wanted if I still
- 28:41Speaker 1: worked hard for it. And then, thank god, I landed
- 28:45Speaker 1: Arizona State the D one Scholarship and it led me here.
- 28:48Speaker 1: So all right, So you mentioned Arizona State. You were
- 28:51Speaker 1: the top ranked defensive lineman in Missouri as a high
- 28:54Speaker 1: school senior. The Midwestern schools came calling. The University of
- 28:57Speaker 1: Cincinnati apparently tried, But you did choose Arizona stage why,
- 29:03Speaker 1: I mean really, Um, when I first took my official
- 29:05Speaker 1: visit there, it was just paradise. Um. I forgot who
- 29:09Speaker 1: they played, but I remember back and I think it
- 29:11Speaker 1: was twenty thirteen when I was a senior twenty fourteen.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I was a senior in high school. They played some team,
- 29:19Speaker 1: but once I got there, it was like a some
- 29:21Speaker 1: degrees in November or December. The hotel was lovely, The
- 29:25Speaker 1: campus was big and wide, and once I actually got
- 29:30Speaker 1: there and committed there and everything and started playing it
- 29:33Speaker 1: barely rained there. It was just paradise sun out. Um,
- 29:38Speaker 1: not wendy, not chill or cold or anything, but it
- 29:41Speaker 1: was just hot and just warm and everything. That's the
- 29:43Speaker 1: environment I wanted to be in. So then coming back
- 29:45Speaker 1: here to Cincinnati, you know, it's a whole different climate change,
- 29:48Speaker 1: so I got to adjust to that. But I'm from
- 29:50Speaker 1: Missouri though, so I'm used to it. So just being
- 29:52Speaker 1: just getting back to the flow and everything. We're talking
- 29:55Speaker 1: to Ronell Ran. During your college career, there was a
- 29:57Speaker 1: coaching change and former NFL head coach Term Words took over.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Was that a big surprise to the guys on the team? Really?
- 30:04Speaker 1: The crazy thing is the whole People don't judge me
- 30:07Speaker 1: for this, but I did not know who Herm Edwards
- 30:09Speaker 1: was until he got there. But he definitely did change
- 30:13Speaker 1: the program around. Um. I really missed the old head
- 30:17Speaker 1: coach that used to be there, but you know, at
- 30:19Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's a business change and
- 30:21Speaker 1: Herm Edwards definitely came in there and did what he
- 30:24Speaker 1: had to do and he's actually doing great then what
- 30:28Speaker 1: we did last season, and I just suspect him for
- 30:30Speaker 1: the best and for my teammates. Back to the issue,
- 30:33Speaker 1: So when he first got there, um, you play his Uh,
- 30:37Speaker 1: he emphasizes when you played to win the game. So
- 30:41Speaker 1: he did this thing to players towards if you're not
- 30:43Speaker 1: doing your job, you'll just be on an academic scholarship. Um,
- 30:47Speaker 1: you sit on the sidelines or sitting the um you know,
- 30:51Speaker 1: the seats where everybody else said had to watch the game.
- 30:53Speaker 1: But he treat he treated us like a pro. So basically, um,
- 30:57Speaker 1: you're not doing your thing. The next man up. It's
- 31:00Speaker 1: interesting to hear that he emphasized you play to win
- 31:03Speaker 1: the game, because he had that famous speech when he
- 31:05Speaker 1: was the head coach of the New York Jets. He
- 31:07Speaker 1: stood up in front of the meeting he said, you
- 31:09Speaker 1: play to win the game. So he still does that nowadays.
- 31:13Speaker 1: He still does that. Now, yes, sir, you're a team
- 31:16Speaker 1: captain your senior year. What did that mean? Man? I
- 31:20Speaker 1: was really surprised because knowing when I my freshman year there,
- 31:24Speaker 1: I had to look after the veterans and all that,
- 31:27Speaker 1: and I didn't like I set the example but not
- 31:30Speaker 1: quite the example as I wanted to until I hit
- 31:32Speaker 1: my senior year. So being able to have that blessing
- 31:36Speaker 1: for the student athletes to vote me to be a
- 31:41Speaker 1: captain and just took me to the higher standard to
- 31:43Speaker 1: know that the things I used to do I couldn't
- 31:46Speaker 1: do and they're gonna lead off my example, not just
- 31:49Speaker 1: on the field, but off the field. Off the field
- 31:51Speaker 1: is very important because they want to not for not
- 31:54Speaker 1: people being judgmental, whatever, but you have to set the standard.
- 31:57Speaker 1: You have to do what you gotta do or to
- 32:00Speaker 1: you know, improve and how the people fall behind your
- 32:02Speaker 1: footsteps so they can improve as well. Once you leave
- 32:05Speaker 1: out that stadium. After a fine career in the Arizona State,
