00:00 >> The quality of Lamar Jackson's play has been exceptional.
00:05 He's done an awesome job, not only of late but throughout the season.
00:10 Just being at the controls of what they do offensively.
00:13 The prudent use of mobility that he displays and
00:16 the efficient use of mobility that he displays is spectacular.
00:21 He's their lead rusher, but he just does so in a really efficient manner.
00:26 He doesn't absorb a lot of punishment.
00:29 He knows how to play.
00:31 He's talented and experienced.
00:33 He's done a nice job of acclimate himself to this collection of eligibles.
00:37 Zay Flowers, obviously, is a new target for him.
00:41 And I've seen that relationship grow since game one, the first time we played him.
00:47 That's a challenge.
00:48 He's done an awesome job of adjusting to the absence of Mark Andrews,
00:53 his draft mate, who's been a security blanket for
00:57 him during their time in Baltimore.
00:59 What he's done with likely since the time that Andrews has been down has really been
01:04 impressive, four or five catches a game,
01:07 highlighted by one-handed fourth down play yesterday.
01:11 Odell Beckham, you name it, he's done a nice job of spreading the ball around.
01:17 Bateman utilizing everyone,
01:19 keeping you off balance with his unique talents, arm talents, leg talent.
01:23 They've done a nice job of throwing a collection of backs at you.
01:28 Gus Evers has a definitive style, he's downhill.
01:32 You better hit and wrap and drive on him.
01:35 Justice Hill is really good at the perimeter and on the perimeter.
01:38 And so they got a really nice, organized, and thoughtful division of labor.
01:43 That's a tough nut to crack and highly efficient.
01:47 As we sit here today, they're ringing up points on a lot of people.
01:51 When you look at the Ravens, you saw them back in October,
01:54 what's the biggest difference between then and this week now?
01:57 >> I don't know that there is, to be quite honest with you.
02:00 They were like a three-on-one team when we saw them.
02:02 They were dangerous and capable in a lot of ways, offensively,
02:07 defensively, special teams.
02:09 It looks very similar.
02:11 Obviously, there's a bigger body of work or body of evidence.
02:16 But it's more of the same, to be quite honest with you.
02:18 They're really good football team.
