00:00I do have something to bust your
00:18balls about though. Not trivial.
00:21Oh, go ahead. The run game. I I
00:25was shocked early in the season
00:26previewing. We're like, who
00:28cares about the run game? It's
00:29the Saints game. Change your mind
00:32about run defense.
00:36Um, don't be. You can't be that
00:39bad. You know what I'm saying?
00:41You can be an average. You can
00:43be an average running team and
00:44you'd be an average run defense
00:46and you go win the Super Bowl.
00:48Yes, you really can't. So but
00:50you know you can't get hammered
00:51for 200 yards on the ground. So
00:55yeah, but no, it didn't. It
00:56didn't change my mind in terms
00:59of again. I say it a million
01:01times and McCarthy says it
01:03right. He says it in a
01:04different way, but big plays
01:07come into passing game. Yeah,
01:08and points come off big plays.
01:11Shoot. We saw, uh, New Orleans
01:1370 yard one play drive, right?
01:15It was great. Cowboys dominated
01:17time of possession early, but
01:18guess what? They were down
01:20because they were given a big
01:22place to the Saints screen pass
01:24right to tomorrow. So the big
01:26plays come into passing game
01:27points come off big plays. I
01:29got a team. If I could take
01:31away the pass, I'm going to
01:32take away the pass. I don't
01:33care about the run. How bad is
01:35this? Here's the problem.
01:36Here's the problem. Excuse me.
01:38They gave up both the pass and
01:39the run against New Orleans.
01:41You got to take something away.
01:43How bad is this Ravens matchup
01:45from a run defense standpoint?
01:49Well, I guess anytime you know
01:51you got Lamar Jackson and Derek
01:53Henry in the same backfield,
01:55you're probably going to have
01:56some issues with them. And, uh,
01:58here's the thing, too. You know,
01:59everybody talks about, Hey,
02:00we're gonna run the ball. We're
02:01gonna run the ball. We're gonna
02:02be physical team. We're gonna
02:03run the ball. And five plays
02:06into it. They start throwing it
02:07all around. Baltimore has been
02:10a top three rushing defense in
02:12each of the last excuse me,
02:13offense. Top three rushing
02:15offense in each of the last six
02:17years. So when John Harbaugh
02:19says we're going to run the
02:20ball, they're going to run the
02:21ball. And obviously what makes
02:23them unique is Lamar Jackson.
02:25It's so funny, too. You know,
02:26you guys have been there. You
02:27go to a kid's game. You look
02:29out, and there's a kid out
02:30there, and you just say, Man,
02:31that kid is really good. He's a
02:32lot better than these other
02:33little kids. And you go to a
02:34high school game, and you say,
02:35Wow, that one kid really, it's
02:37good. And then college, it gets
02:38a little closer, and then you
02:39get to the pros, and there's a
02:41great athlete all over the
02:42field, right? And you might be
02:43marginally better than the
02:45other guy. Lamar Jackson is
02:47still the best athlete on the
02:49field. You still look at it and
02:50say, Wow, that that guy is
02:52a lot better than the other
02:53kids out there.
