Get your hands up throw them up We Begin our football coverage today with our good hands moments presented by All State you’re in good hands with Lamar Jackson you’re in good hands when you have a quarterback who is as quarterbacking as Lamar Jackson Lamar more or less locked up the MVP and went

Off for five touchdowns as the Ravens annihilated the Dolphins blew them out my question coming off of that game they have an incredible defense they have the MVP playing quarterback they’re incredibly welcome coach do you view the Ravens As A Cut Above everyone else in the NFL first of all I like to

Appreciate how well you did that so that we can edit out all that wonderfulness before but trust me fans you missed out on a good thing um second of all excellent virtue s signaling by saying Lamar Jackson quarterbacking out of the quarterback out of all quarterbacks multiple times I love it Charlie that’s

Why you’re my guy um I don’t even remember what the question is but Lamar’s out of his mind it wasn’t just him like there were a number of one-handed catches from Defenders from tight ends from linebackers this team seems like when you look around the league it feels like there are two teams

That are good and a bunch of other guys the 49ers one of the teams and the other ones are and the other one is the Ravens and as much as we want to give credit to how well that defense played shutting down the Dolphins offense I think it’s

Appropriate that Lamar Jackson is our good hands player because when it was time to lock down this MVP confence ation he had that game against the 49ers and then he bookend it I guess not bookended Then followed it with a five touchdown through the air performance which doesn’t even take to account all

The other ways he impacts defense it was incredible to see this felt like not just a coronation for Lamar Jackson but also a coronation for every big decision the Ravens have made over the past couple years right like they go out and they trade for ran Smith ran Smith

Intercepts a pass roquan Smith tips away or or or takes away a pass to set up a second interception middle of the field gets taken away Dolphins way fewer yards after catching this game and they’ve had previously and then for Lamar it’s not just you know that Lamar got better but

They replaced Greg groin they brought in Todd bonan they had a more diverse passing attack than they’ve had in years past the receivers Z flowers has a 75 yard touchdown on on the very like I believe the very same RPO the Dolphins ran a million times last year which has

To hurt Mike MCD see his own speed Concepts used against him in a big game uh we saw I say it likely the backup tight end behind Mark Andrews who was drafted last year make an incredible catch have a huge game here we saw Odell Beckham have a big catch down the

Sideline set up another touchdown we saw a team that feels fully realized I I think in a way that no other team in the NFL does where I feel like as we h into the postseason even the ners as good as the ners are we look at them we’re like

H Brock party Brock py might melt down if things aren’t perfect around him and Christian mcaffry is hurt now we don’t have those same questions about the Ravens right now I don’t know how you guys feel well that was masterfully done by you to frame all of it that way you

Need to wear a coat all the time if this is what version of Bill that we get when you’re in the coat I will say Throw uh Patrick Queen in there also and playing really well there was a time when Patrick Queen was thought to be a Miss

But ran Smith showing up allows Patrick to move to a position where he is uh more comfortable and more impactful in the game this defense has been great against a lot of offenses this year and it’s crazy it feels like the point that you’re making is we often and I’m guilty

Of this also sometimes of thinking like there’s the 49ers and then the Ravens are close behind then they beat him last week and and watching that game I was like yeah I thought the Ravens were going to win they did win but it didn’t feel like the Ravens were just so much

Better better than them but you look at the way Ravens on the course of this season and we’ve said this a number of times their losses felt more fluky than anything barely trailed All Season yeah if if if we take out those or don’t don’t even take them out just factor in

How they played in all of those games and understand that they they I mean you’re rubbing your chin as if you you knew this you were right well well I I I did say the Ravens were the most D what was the word I used terrifying team in

Football earlier this year on the round the horn with the only problem being that they also terrorize themselves when it comes to these games but I mean Dominique this is a very insightful Point you’re going on if we just take out the games the Ravens lost they are dominant stopped I stopped because

That’s not what I meant not take out the games that they lost I mean if we don’t look at their record it’s a a weird thing to say for the team to have the number one overall seed in all the playoffs I think their record makes them

Seem worse than they actually are we don’t look at their record and look at the way that they performed throughout the course of this season I I think we would have a better appreciation for how good this team uh really is and how good they can be and then there all the

Cliches about playing your best ball at the right time they look better and better they look better than they did against the 49ers which yeah I you you expect a let down game to some degree I know the Dolphins are an important opponent but you think like all right

This game is important to secure this home field advantage knowing it’s a big game going on the road to San Francisco and winning followed by another big game you know when you have to win lots of big games in a row in the playoffs and these are like kind

Of I don’t know like not concrete points to make but it’s fun to see this team playing well right now so there’s something that you guys said that really suck out to me because you’re talking about the 49ers which I think we can still agree is a top team along with the

Ravens in the NFL the betting odds reflect that but you were saying how everything needs to be perfect for that offense to succeed and the interesting thing is we’re like oh the Ravens lost Keat and Mitchell maybe the running game game will take a step back no justice

Hill will just be incredibly explosive from the line of scrimmage and allpurpose yards Mark Andrews is out for the regular season are they gonna take a step isai likely just the exact same player as Mark Andrews when you give him the amount of rats that Mark Andrews is

Running it seems like they’re a machine with replaceable Parts which is really interesting and there’s one part on the offense which is not replaceable which is Lamar Jackson um Raven they that that Pro Bowl backup quarterback behind him and Tyler throw a touchdown in this game uh uh um I think

On uh get up last week I talked about how great Lamar was and I said it would be scary if he was ever like consistently like accurate because he has stretches where he’s inaccurate Ravens fans have taken that to get mad at me online and say that I say that

He’s inconsistent with his with his accuracy but even in the course of the game we saw that but it’s not a problem it’s not a problem until it is so right now Lamar Jackson is playing great football and I’m enjoying it and he’s going to get the MVP well then then

There’s the question it’s not a problem till it is because you brought up the Brock py of it all which he could melt down in the playoffs Lamar is someone who hasn’t played as well in the playoffs as he has the regular season I think the three touchdowns seven

Interceptions over the course of his playoff career are you any questions that this team is g to perform worse in higher leverage situations I mean it’s the NFL they’re going to play good teams there’s a chance that they don’t play as well in maybe who knows in

The AFC playoffs they might not play good teams I don’t that’s fair point I don’t have any legitimate concerns because the thing about it is there it doesn’t feel like anything concrete to me you know like it it feels like more narrative than than fact and when the

Sample size is as small as career playoff games like it’s going to they’re they’re going to be skewed I I can’t concentrate Bill’s giving me all the faces tell me where I’m wrong I mean it does seem like there might be some cause and effect there right like

You’re saying oh they got a small sample size in the playoffs that’s kind of because they keep losing the first time they play in the playoffs that’s fair are kind of related a bit I I use the Buzz word that I thought you would appreciate and I got a frown that’s what

Threw me off I said sample size oh you already said you already said we shouldn’t consider wins and losses which you know is right near and dear to my heart I appr you over in the new year I appreciate that you’re trying to make up you didn’t get me anything

For Christmas so I appreciate that for the new year you’re trying to set me up after after last episode where I went into psychology and emotion of the game I felt like I was going to lean in and get Bill back by talking about sample size and wins are are useless stat and

Instead I get suit jacket frownie face bill that’s not what I want that’s not what I want I want Happy bill in 202 2024 is a business year tomworth that’s why I’m here in the suit that’s why I’m saying you got to conduct your business in the new year and win in the

Postseason I mean I hope that sorry sorry I hope I hope that we don’t have a poor performance out of them because I do like I’m not GNA want to hear that for another year I’m not going to want to add any more Credence to the idea that there’s something wrong with Lamar

Or the Ravens in the playoffs because I don’t think it’s true I agree and I don’t think there’s like some magic thing that going to change with the Ravens that would lead them to suddenly struggle I I don’t believe that’s the case but when I think about this team

And I try to be logical and reasonable and say okay what what could happen what might be the concern for me I would look towards a secondary and not because of talent but because of injuries they lost Marlon Humphrey during this game Brandon Stevens one of their starting Corners uh

Missed the game Kyle Hamilton who has been incredible this year missed the game and I know they were playing the Dolphins who didn’t have Jaylen Wadd um they still had an incredible performance still took away Tyreek Hill for most of the game Who got hurt early on they made

Twoa look bad Tua got injured late in this game um the Dolphins are a mess right now but if there is a weakness it’s the secondary has some injuries so I’m just trying to think if we’re sitting here in two weeks uh and we’re sitting man we believed in the Ravens

And we got fooled what fooled us that seems like the most obvious place things could go wrong I I I agree with you but it seemed like they showed up today and ready for a shootout and only one team was ready for the shootout and if they’re capable of doing that going

Forward then the secondary may not be an issue but you’re right that is that is the weak spot of the team right now if you’re picking one out but yeah I mean I I I hope that we don’t have to deal with that I want the best teams to win and

And like the Imagining the oh and what if it’s the Browns Imagining the oh Lord Jesus oh God FL going into Baltimore Charlie and I are are we thinking the exact same thing just waiting to mention Joey franchise oh man I’m so Excited
