Brought you by Reliant Air Conditioning, gimmick free AC repair and replacement. Here's the king of the Krusty's, Brian. - Thank you very much, General. Thank you to Reliant as well for their continued sponsorship of Krusty's Corner. - So Luke, despite all the reasons you give them to bail. - Before we get started here, I'd like to say that Eric, we had the opportunity for the, once again, our friends at Legends brought us the pizza burger again. - Yeah, hello. - Yes, they did. Yes, they did. - They brought us an Eric Past. What? You wanna have a kick? - Well, no. Definitely, definitely not. They ended up circling back in the press box at halftime with the item of the day. So it was windy out there. You know what I mean? The first time they brought it up, it was pre-season, we were in the Brad Shambooth. So it was more optimal for consumption. Outside windy, papers flying everywhere, trying not to call somebody the wrong name in the pre-game show. I was just too focused and docked in. Yeah, just too professional. - Yesterday, that's really-- - It's totally professional. - CD could have learned from him. - It's me, you know? - I'm sorry. - Somebody was professional on our group, but I had the ice cream with the Fritos. - Fritos Sunday, man. - The Fritos Sunday. - Bluebell, homemade vanilla. - Let me tell you what. - I believe in it. - They got the, they got the kind of the-- - They got the ratio, right? - Father Scott. - Salt and fat. - Yeah, the salt and some sweet. It was, I'll tell you what, I was kind of skeptical. Like if you're thinking like, if you went out and got drunk and you came home and like, what sounds really good? - Oh, take a bag of Fritos and some bluebell ice cream and put it together. - That's made in heaven, dude. - It's not a bad combination. - Not that. - I was punted on the half a segment just to hammer that thing home. - Who were interviewing? - I think Babe. - Oh, Babe. I just laid out on the Babe interviewing boat. - I saw it was ice cream and I wanted to stop. I didn't want to stop eating the ice cream because I was worried about it melting. - Yeah. - No, it was very impressive once again, legend, hospitality, just absolutely outstanding. The jerk chicken, the Caribbean jerk whatever chicken thighs that were in there yesterday. That's the one seed for anything I've ever had in that press box. It was truly, truly. - Truly good stuff. - Impressive. - There you go. You guys got any questions from what you saw yesterday or what the hell? - We got quite a lot. - I think it's quite a lot. - What the hell? - Quite a lot. - Yeah. - Do you want to start offense or defense? - Start on offense if you want. If you got a question. - There's three phase. - I've got it. - I've got it. - What was it on offense in the fourth quarter? - I'll tell you what. - I'll tell you what, come together. - Is it a man butter? - Seriously, they did a much better job with handling the Ravens front. The pressure with, you know, the thing the Ravens were able to do early in this game was with their rush, with their down rush. They were able to make things happen that way. There was one time they had an unblocked, they had unblocked, Hamilton was unblocked, and that caused the pressure. But other than that, it really was their guys that were able to kind of create some early pressure. Zach Martin didn't play particularly well this game. - I don't think any of the linemen particularly played well. - I'll tell you what though, if you look back the tackles, the tackles were not terrible in this game. And I came out of that, sitting next to Zach, I'm kind of thinking like, you know, BB and Guyton and those guys, I was just thinking about the tackles. And I'm like, man, it doesn't look right, but on tape, it wasn't bad. - So when I go back, I think I'll think higher of steel. - Yeah, and I'm not trying to influence anybody 'cause you'll get your tape and you'll sit down and watch, but you will be surprised how they were able. They missed some throws and they missed some routes that they could have taken advantage. Now, there was a couple of pressures here and there, but nothing that you normally wouldn't face in a game. I'll say this, the running backs, no more Zeke. Just, okay, let's, if you want to take-- - They reduced the snaps. Quite a bit. - If you want to, if you want to just go-- - Yeah, they got the ratio much better. - If you just want to go ahead and bring cook up and play him, sit Zeke, I have no problem with that. But the toughness that Dattle showed as a blitz pickup guy, catching the football and all those things yesterday, him, they try to throw a wheel route to Vaughn, I get it, they're trying to get him on the field and do some things with him. - Rather him do that than just hammer him up the middle for new yards. - Exactly, exactly. So to me, I was, I thought that the offensive line was a big, big, big struggle. You see, you were going to run the ball. I mean, when they ran the ball, they were able to kind of make me kind of, a little bit more about the backs than really the blocking yesterday. - On the running, that's kind of what I'm wondering about. Like on their three touchdown drives, I think they only ran it twice over the course of like 25 plays. Do you think abandoning the run is what they should be looking to do more? - They've had, to me, when they went like, no huddle and hurry up off it. They gotta get tempo, get up to the line. Let's go. - They did it. I was watching the substitutions on the sidelines with the receivers. They could play with some pace that they want because they have three guys on, three guys off. And they were constantly, they run a route, like three guys on, guys come off. You know, that's why the rotation that they were able to do, that really put the Ravens in some tough spots. And like I say, the touchdown that they threw to Tolbert, completely the combinations of the routes allowed the middle of the defense to open up. - Yeah, they finally used some crossers over the middle. - Well, it wasn't the crime. - And there was a port host at Turpin, I think, on his big cast. - Well, his big catch, you're right. - Hey Mike Vlinny here, host of Cash The Ticket alongside my partner, Jim Costa. It's really simple. Are you tired of podcasts claiming there are a bunch of pro betters when they live in their mommy's basement? Are you tired of podcasts that claim they hit 80% of the games? When really, they just lose like most of us. Think Cash The Ticket's the spot for you. We're real, we're transparent, we're having a hell of a good time with it. And we sit there and we're there for the sweat with you guys. We're just trying to figure it out just like you. Follow and listen to Cash The Ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever, you get your podcasts. (upbeat music) - The test touchdown too, they matched him up with a safety deal with Washington. So you're like, Washington's a safety trying to chase Turpin out of the slot. See, to me, that's where you miss out on some things. When you think like, okay, hey, put our guy with this guy or put this guy, our guy with that guy. - We like this match, yeah. - Yeah, and they did a much better job with the offensively picking up blitzes. Like we talked about once they got going, they were able to, the receivers did a better job of getting open and the quarterback didn't miss throws. You know, he had a couple of throws in this game where you're like, man, if you just hit on that throw. - For sure. - It's a big play here, but I just like I say, I think this team can play with some tempo and kind of make people not be able to substitute on them and things. Now, the running game is, you know, it's, I just think you bad, you get behind in games and it's no use of running. - Well, you're getting behind 'cause you're trying to run though, pardon me. - No, you're getting behind because your run defense is ass. That's the problem. I think your run defense makes your run offense not any good because all of a sudden teams are driving the ball on you and they're scoring and they're putting you behind. And what's the one way you have to catch up throwing the football? We saw that yesterday. They couldn't run because they're behind. The last two weeks, there's been no reason for them to run. - Yeah. - They tried to run. - They couldn't run even when they were ahead against Cleveland though, but you just can't try. - They, and I, and again, do I have to go back to the second half of the Cleveland game and tell you what? - I don't know why you were right about that, but I thought-- - But I didn't work on running. You didn't try to run. - And I didn't-- - You weren't gonna fix it in a half against Cleveland. - But you least could fix it. - You could multi-years in the making. - You could figure out though, Dawson, that the fact that you might not have a damn running game. - Yes. - Instead of right now, you know, you're sitting there going, oh, wow, well, maybe it's nice. And what's their statement to us? Their statement is, oh, we haven't had enough opportunities. BS, you had opportunities in week one. You didn't take advantage of it. Now that's why you are. Yeah, the backs of the back's been good. That'll, I'm surprised that'll average four yards a carry yesterday to be honest with you. I was expecting not to be a big negative game for the backs and stuff like that. - Well, you also got to a point where they were willing to give you any time you want to just run the ball for four yards, you know, with the way the game got out of hand, they're willing to give you four yards. - Any running play when you're that far behind is a negative play. - Right. - It's not gonna help you get back in that game. So to me, they don't know if they can run the ball or not. The offense, I don't know. I watch the offensive line. Sometimes they block it well. We're talking about expected yards per, you know, wow, that's amazing, expected yards. They are leaving a lot of things on the field. Does that mean they can run the ball if they're leaving expected yards on the field? - They had a better runner. - That means if they had better running backs, according to that particular set of that, they had a better running backs. - Handy the ball to seek is a negative play. - Yeah. - Handy the ball to dattle, it seems like to me that would be a positive play. - I was the first couple of drives, I was very surprised that the offensive line I thought was getting some push. I mean, they go three yards for dattle, six yards for dattle, third and one. Then you get a penalty with span forward, right? The pre-snap penalties were an issue too. They gotta clean that up. But I thought the offensive line at least earlier until they really had to abandon the running game, they performed way better than I thought when it came to run blocking. I left saying their run blocking was better than the past blocking. - There's nothing they do to help their offensive lineman and run blocking the way they run the ball. - No, it's a disgusting status. - There's nothing that they do scheme wise that helps them run the ball. They could help them run the ball. - Totally. - Not the way that they currently, the currently the way they run it. There's nothing that they do with that. I know I'm running out of time. You're gonna give me some time to talk about the defense. - Yes, sir. - And then this afternoon. - We'll definitely carve it out. We'll have three hours to go. - Okay, this is where, to me, if I could finish up this thing with the young guys with BB. Where BB had problems yesterday with the offensive line with the twist stunt stuff. - Yes. - That's where. - Passing them off. - People, it was, you saw them late. That's where the Ravens were able to kind of make some things happen inside. Was that BB was so locked in to the guy he was trying to push to one of the guards that when you get that locked in, it's hard for you to be able to adjust back. And there were a couple of different times where they got pressure in the middle because BB was too engaged to his guy. He's just got to shove that guy and look for the twist. Don't go too far down, don't go too far outside. You got to stay right where you need to be. And then that guy could come to you. And that way you won't be giving up the pressure, but they gave up some pressures inside just because BB was trying to help push that guy all the way to the guard. You just got to shove him and be ready for that guy coming over the top. So I'll talk about, like I said, I'll talk about the defense. 'Cause I think there's some things about this cowboy defense with the run game stuff, the run defense stuff. They need to, of course, need to do a lot better, but I think there's some things that they can actually build on. And we'll talk about that next time around. - Yeah, we'll carve out some time there at 534. - Sounds good. - The East Coast East corner defensive edition. Nice pink shirt by the way, Brian. - Thank you. - I like that with the ball snaps. It's a good look for you. - Appreciate that. - Okay, college football super segment coming up, which one of you knows bleaters has this for us. - We got the arch manning debut, Bama a home dog and takeaways from a wild week four in college football, that's next. - Hey Mike Vlini here, host a cash to ticket alongside my partner, Jim Costa.
