  • If you're a team that wants to bully people and you lose your left tackle and you lose the best blocking tight end in the NFL, it just diminishes what you're capable of doing.

  • Markets.

  • So I'll come to you on that thought.

  • I mean, sometimes things or reasons why you just don't look the way that you did.

  • And personnel might be a big part of that in Baltimore.

  • And also Marshall yonder retiring as well, g upfront on the line.

  • But the bottom line is this.

  • The bottom line is this man like Who the hell cares?

  • Everybody has attrition.

  • The 40 Niners lost the whole damn team.

  • You know what they still gotta do?

  • They still got to play football and try to win game.

  • Just injured for the Saints.

  • Go ahead, Go ahead.

  • Well, you're making my point for me, which is the 40 Niners.

  • They could say there were no excuses, but they were in the Super Bowl last year when they're definitely not going to be this year.

  • And injuries are the reason, so you can call it whatever you want.

  • But the Ravens don't look the same as they did last year and the reason might be some of the people they've lost.

  • So, Marcus, let me just ask it to you a different way right now.

  • Do you could see when you look at the teams that you could see winding up in the Super Bowl from the A F C.

  • Are the Ravens one of them?

  • You know they're not G, and it's because number one before all of this attrition, I have been screaming to y'all both of these guys.

  • I know y'all sick of hearing it that they need to evolve offensively.

  • Teams have a beat on the Ravens.

  • We talked about it with Lamar Jackson.

  • If they cannot run downhill the entire game and stomp people out in that way, they are going to struggle.

  • Toe win games offensively, that's the bottom line, like we look on the outside Brown Sneed, who's the only guy that bothers you from a personnel standpoint outside of Lamar Jackson, Andrews, the tight end and you're telling me that that's how you're going to go and win the Super Bowl against the teams that you have to play.

  • The indictment has never been just about Lamar Jackson and his ability to throw and all of that.

  • We know Lamar Jackson can do that.

  • This team has not evolved to win another way when they can't dominate on the ground.

  • I'm not going to stop saying it and in order toe win a Super Bowl out of the A F.

  • C.

  • You are going to have to go toe to toe throwing the ball at some point.

  • That's the Baltimore Ravens issue.

  • That is where they're living right now in this division.

  • Greg, why are you?

  • Why are you shaking your head?

  • Because he's talking about the evolution.

  • But the players are not letting them evolve like you can talk all you want.

  • A great quarterback elevates the play of everyone around them, and we look at Lamar Jackson.

  • The guy can't throw it down the field.

  • He can't be accurate on throws the travel more than 15 yards downfield.

  • Do you realize that Lamar Jackson is 26th off 32 in the league right now on throws completion percentage that travels more than 15 yards down field that you talk about the video that we got to evolve Spears.

  • They are hamstrung by the inconsistency off their quarterback.

  • Like that's all that ISS and we could talk about the weapons and the offensive line to nutrition all this stuff until he takes the next step as a passer.

  • I as a defensive coordinator, I am not gonna respect the downfield throat.

  • Not gonna do it.

  • And until he proves that he can hit the ball, I'm gonna keep throwing it no matter what.

  • Go ahead, Marcus.

  • Has he has he die Greste in since last year?

  • Because last year he was one of the better deep ball throws.

  • So now he can't do it.

  • Or is it that teams have adjusted and you don't have weapons to get open like they did last year?

  • I always bring this point up right quick.

  • When we saw the San Francisco 40 Niners with Greg Rome and go to the Super Bowl with Colin Kaepernick is quarterback.

  • You know his receivers were It was Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin.

  • Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin with the Baltimore Ravens would put them in a conversation for a Super Bowl.

  • They do not have that.

  • They have not evolved personnel wise or scheme wise to be in the running for a Super Bowl from a passing game point blank period.

  • Yeah, let me go back to where it all began, which was with Jeff Saturday.

  • I'll ask you the same question.

  • I asked Marcus when you put together a list of teams you could see coming out of the A F.

  • C in the Super Bowl.

  • Are the Ravens one of them?

  • No.

  • And I'm disappointed to say, and I do not think it's Lamar Jackson's issue.

  • I I hear what Greg is saying, but I completed.

  • He was 21 24 34 against the Patriots in a complete rainstorm in a wash.

  • He's got a center that put the ball on the ground three times, right?

  • They went on 1/4 and one.

  • He snaps it down.

  • They lose Ronnie Stanley.

  • So now they move Brown over.

  • They can't physically dominate at the point of attack.

  • All of those things bring up issues, and I agree 100% with swag.

  • You listen on the first play of the game when I watched the receiver receiver get pushed out of bounds, it causes me concern because at some point when you look at Kyler Murray, what's happened in Arizona?

  • We're talking about Fitzgerald is there to Hopkins?

  • Is there one?

  • Kirk is there a swell like he has guys to help him.

  • The I guy makes them go.

  • They need some I guys on the Ravens offense.

  • They don't have that.

  • I think Lamar can get it done right now.

  • I don't see the other.

  • That's why I went to panic.
