Lions-Ravens Monday Night Shootout and the Five Biggest Week 3 Injuries

23:18Nick Shook:Everybody on this defense, Alex Anzalone spying, Jack Campbell back there at the second level, they all made plays. They played so cohesively. And that's why I think everybody who watches the NFL is going to take the Lions more seriously because of the performance that they gave on both sides of the ball tonight. They got away with lining up in base defense most of the night. And by base defense, that means three linebackers essentially on the field. Almost no teams do that at this point. But they had that sort of vision, again, with the team build. Bigger linebackers, I mean, in terms of guys like Derek Barnes, who was like an old school strong side.

23:53Right, like also had a great game. Like an old school strong side linebacker. kind of the run stopper who's almost been legislated out of the league, like that sort of player. But he can blitz. He's versatile enough. I think a faster, more dynamic team could take advantage of that. Maybe if you have Isaiah likely in this game, when the Ravens are lining up in two tight end sets throughout most of the game. But they haven't quite gotten the mix with all their receivers. Now, I do want to note, Lamar had some dimes in this game. Oh, yeah. I'm just going to mention a few. And actually, it kind of points out now that I think about it, how tough the Lions defense was playing.

24:33Because I felt like there were more easy throws for Jared Goff throughout the course of the night. There was a throw early in the game on third and long where Lamar is rolling left, throws it across his body to Bateman on the sideline for 10 yards. Like an incredibly low percentage type of throw. Hits that. Then he goes Tez Walker deep down the field. That was a beautiful throw. He had the crazy sideline throw to Nuke Hopkins where you thought after it got over the underneath defender, that thing's going out of bounds. And he just like drops it in there. I love the third and long to Rashad Bateman when they were down 28 to 21 and they're driving and he has to hit a whole shot and be patient and throw anticipation over the middle.

25:16Like these were high level throws. He also had that touchdown to Mark Andrews early in the second half. So, like, there were a lot of amazing players. Hell, just to get Jerry Sandusky into the show, let's listen to a Ravens highlight. Let's listen to the Mark Andrews touchdown to start the second half. You hate to settle for a field goal. Lamar Jackson from the shotgun. Throws towards the end zone, looking for Andrews. He's got it! Touchdown, Mark Andrews! A diving grab along the sideline. And the Ravens have their first lead of the night.

25:50Nick Shook:That was a great throw and a great catch, Mark Andrews. Oh, that was a great throw. That was Rod Woodson, who knows a great throw when he sees it. Like, what did you see there, Shook? Threaded. Absolutely threaded. And from the distance, because, like, yeah, I think it was a 14-yard touchdown pass. But the distance, you know, from where Lamar was to the corner of the end zone makes it a lot longer. Couldn't be placed better. I mean, could not be placed better in the pocket where Andrews can make that grab just inside the pylon, just outside the outstretched reach of the nearest defender. You know, I watched that route develop.

26:23Nick Shook:I think it was branching coverage. And I know it was Anzalone in coverage. And I'm watching him run with him. And I'm like, he's covered pretty well. And Lamar throws it. And I'm like, oh, he's going to have to fit this one in. Boom. Right in that, like threading a needle. Just right through the eye of the needle for a touchdown. That's what Lamar is capable of doing. He had a number of throws like this, like you said, tonight. And I think that will get lost in the aftermath conversation about this game. It's getting lost in our comments right now. People are killing Lamar. I think multiple things can be true, though.

26:53Nick Shook:Yes, because the other thing that's true is that Lamar needs to figure out how to operate in the pocket and not give himself so much time sometimes because it hurt them when sometimes you can just take off for a gain of five. And I think that they will correct that going forward because it definitely hurt them tonight. Both things can be true. You're right. But I have a feeling like he's not someone that when you watch the film has open receivers and doesn't let go of the ball. I think what the Lions showed him tonight with mostly zone coverage like worked there. There weren't that many open receivers and at least they were muddying up the picture.

27:27After that Andrews fumble, they go three and out where he takes a sack on that drive. They have to go 10 plays just to get 39 yards on that drive that I mentioned where he hits the ball over the middle to Bateman. There were a lot of penalties involved here. Then Derrick Henry fumbles the ball. And then really the killer was when they got the ball back with 6.35 to go and they go three and out. They end up with a fourth and nine there. Another drive that starts with a big time sack. And at first, it was like these plays where Lamar is trying to get out of trouble, and he's just taken down for no gain.

28:06And as the game is wearing on, like, he is taking bigger and bigger deficits in terms of, like, longer sacks. And I think multiple things can be true. This game is on the Ravens' defense, obviously, and the running game. Like, the passing game was by far the best part of the Ravens. I mean, the freaking Ravens gave up two 95-yard-plus drives. That's outrageous. We haven't even mentioned that there was an 18-play, 98-yard drive. You mentioned it, but that was the longest drive, of course, in the NFL this season in terms of minutes, 10 minutes and 48 seconds. But Joe Buck mentioned there hasn't been a drive over 95 yards against the Ravens' defense in Baltimore for over 20 years.

28:46They gave up two of them tonight. So on a night like that where Derrick Henry has a terrible success rate and your defense plays like that and Derrick Henry fumbles the ball in the fourth quarter, Lamar Jackson is not number one on your biggest issues. That said, like the accusations that he can be like a little amped up in big games, I do wonder about that sometimes because early on, like you're watching him on the sideline. When they went three and out early, like he was so frustrated early in that game. And you can see just like the tension. I hate being the body language doctor. A lot of players play well when they're angry.

29:25I'm not saying that they couldn't, but you just can almost like feel the anxiety coming off of that sideline between Lamar. And then, of course, Derrick Henry, you know, crashing out a little bit later. Like I do think like holding on to the ball so long, like that feels like a little bit, a little bit of tightness, even though there was a lot of great plays in between. I do think there is it's fair to like point out there's something to that for for the Lamar haters out there, which I am not one.

29:54Nick Shook:but you know there's something to it yeah I'm not a Lamar hater either but I hate to be this guy in this moment I see a trend in the Baltimore Ravens over the last few years that we witnessed tonight which is that when they meet a team that is at their level that they cannot bully offensively that they cannot shut down defensively and then just run over them with Derrick Henry or with Lamar or whatever they get tight they play tight they make mistakes they let the pressure of the moment consume them sometimes and I think what you just described is exactly what that was and there were periods in this game where I felt as if the Ravens were overcoming that and they were just going to be the better team and end up winning a game because for example the the Ravens take the lead uh 21 to 14 after the Lions go three and out the Lions go three and out after that goal line stand and the play calling is a little questionable the Ravens cash in to end the first half there There were just a few periods in this game where I'm like, the Lions are like one miscue, one big Derrick Henry run, one big Lamar Jackson play away from being down multiple scores, and maybe they don't have enough to come back, and they never got there.

31:00Nick Shook:And I think that frustrated the Ravens and the miscues and the small errors in detail. A guy maybe not running a route where Lamar wants, and he underthrows the ball, or it looks like he underthrows the ball because the receiver's not where he wants them to be. Lamar not being able to break the pocket and take off for runs when he thinks they're there. Guy's not getting open. And I think all of that compounded and you saw the effects of it capped by the Derek Henry fumble late in the fourth quarter where they're like, wow, we're really going to lose this big game at home on primetime right now.

31:28Nick Shook:I can't believe this. We're the Baltimore Ravens. We're not supposed to do this. Well, guess what? You also play in the NFL where the Browns beat the Packers on Sunday. Things like that can happen. Hey, let's not on them. Hey, the Browns and the Ravens have the same record right now. Yeah. And honestly, like if you just like if you just said who's played better, I don't think the Ravens have played better this season necessarily than the Browns. The Browns outplayed the Bengals in week one. I know they got beat 41 to 10. I'm just saying. Come on. Defensively, the Browns have played better than the Ravens, but offensively, it's not even in the same.

32:03What I need to say is that I feel like that both of these teams should be two and one and it's not that big of a difference. That could be true. Yeah, that could be true. It's such a long season, but the road to the one seed is going to be harder with starting off at one and two, you know, you're in a division where Jake Browning and Aaron Rogers, you know, respect to him, but not playing the best quarterback right now, are quarterbacking the teams that are currently in first place. Like I'm not that concerned about the Ravens long-term to me. this is more about the lions, but when we talk about the tightness to me, it's more just like expectations.

32:44It's, it's not like that they're getting nervous and that they can't perform well in big game. It's just, they've lost so many of these heartbreakers. They've lost so many big leads. They've been on the cusp. They've been the best regular season offense now for three straight years. And it's just the expectations. And I think those are sometimes difficult to manage like as a team and it's one of the reasons why I'm really impressed with with how the Lions have responded after after week one because they're also in this cycle they've never been here before right shook and where they're you know they're now like deep into this run of like trying to stay at the top and I think that's the hardest thing to do in the NFL is stay at the top and the Ravens and the Lions

33:25Nick Shook:that's exactly what they're trying to do there's one difference between those two teams one of them plays in the same conference that's occupied by the Kansas City Chiefs and the other one doesn't and I think when you know that you have that that team to take down you realize like yeah I mean until they're not there they're there uh I think that adds a little bit more pressure and this is a measuring stick game and you know that and so I just think it adds a little bit more and they have a longer history of not getting the job done than the Lions do and also you know this is no shot at John Harbaugh at all hell of a coach but there's something about Dan Campbell and the way that he trusts his guys and goes forward on fourth down and does all those things and wears his heart on his sleeve that just seems to invigorate a team and creates a culture of that that maybe they'll band together and rally together when the adversity strikes that maybe the ravens don't have that same mental toughness in them not not necessarily on the coach but just on the key figures in each franchise i think that is one of the factors that played into this game tonight well yeah we'd say that the team takes on the personality of their head coach you know when i I was talking about like the, you know, Derek Henry being a little tight on the sideline.

34:33And John Harbaugh is like the number one guy we've made a little bit before the season, like of any coach that I like. I'm literally afraid of John Harbaugh. There is so much boiling beneath the surface. I feel like at all times when it is not going well, there is like an anxiety and attention and his decision making in big spots has not been amazing. And you compare that to Dan Campbell. And yeah, maybe it does rub off on the rest of the team. All right. I'm doing a little schedule watching because we're talking Browns, right? And then we're talking Chiefs. And those teams have matchups against these teams coming up.

35:08So the Lions get this win. They have a tricky game. I think it's fair to say the Browns are tricky at this point, considering how good their defense is. They have the Browns next week in Detroit, then at Cincinnati, at Kansas City, and then the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before their bye week. The Ravens, on the other hand, go right from this bloodbath on the road on a short week to Kansas City. In theory, one of their biggest games of the year before heading home for the Texans and the Rams before their bye week. Really interesting schedules for both these teams. And we're just getting started. But you look at those schedules and they are going to be tested in a lot of these games.

35:55and they are both going to be challenged to not get to their bye week with like a three and three type of record.

36:02Nick Shook:Yeah, if you want to wash away the sour taste in your mouth from this and make all the haters shut up, you go beat the Chiefs next week. And you do it in pretty dominant fashion. And I think that their strengths match up well against the Chiefs. And then at that point, people forget a little bit about what happened against the Lions tonight. Like it can all change. But it puts so much on that game, though. and we will get into it. But that's the beauty of the NFL. Every week matters. And every week matters more. And it's a funny thing. I always think about the early part of the season. The bigger games to me, having watched for so many years, is the bigger games early in the season are actually with the good teams that are off to slow starts.

36:49Like, it would be great. It'd be fun. I bet CBS would love it if Ravens Chiefs was a battle of undefeated. Isn't that game bigger now that they're both one and two? One of those two teams with very challenging schedules ahead of them is going to be one and three. And if you thought like the tension with Travis Kelsey bumping Andy Reid or the tension of Derrick Henry like falling over on the sideline was bad after this week. Like how about you lose to your other AFC rivals next week? And so it really sets up like a fascinating matchup there. And the Lions, on the other hand, can breathe a little bit of a sigh of relief.

37:26But man, they would love nothing more to beat up on the Chiefs in a couple weeks too. The Bucs are on the schedule coming up, which is going to be big. And I just love it. Before we move on from this game, and we are going to do some news very quickly on this show because there was some big time injury news. It is time for delivering results presented by Uber Eats. and no one, and I mean no one, deserves this honor more than the Lions' offensive line and their running backs. And I am talking about David Montgomery. We've hit a couple of his highlights already. Let's go to the big 72-yard rush in the second half of this game.

38:07Nick Shook:Behind center, there's the snap. Jared hands to Montgomery. Montgomery has state. There he goes across 20, 25. Demo, there he goes, middle of the field, to the 50, Angling right at the 45, down to the 30, down to the 20. Taking down from behind at the 15-yard line, David Montgomery running for daylight and running big for these Detroit Lions. Oh, my goodness. Oh, man, 12 for 151 and 2. I was watching that still with my son and my wife. Emeka just goes like, I thought he was faster. And Walker was like, no, that's Gibbs. But don't dog on David Montgomery because that burst through the hole is fantastic.

38:48His ability to make people miss and his freaking toughness. Shout out to Brad Holmes and David and Dan Campbell for making him one of their very first free agent signings, saying he is going to set the tempo and really the MO for this team. And that duo, they wouldn't be as good without each other. They were just a lot of fun to watch.

39:08Nick Shook:Yeah, I mean, it's thunder and lightning right there. And we saw them both in action. It was Gibbs early. it was Gibbs in short yardage then it was Montgomery in short yardage and then it was Montgomery ripping off the big gain it was Montgomery closing the game with another big run down the sideline where he did look fast enough to get the job done I love we've already talked about I love offensive line play when it works well when you run duo and then you're you're bulldozer of a running back who still got burst gets through the hole and rips off a big one they out Raven the Ravens tonight and it was because of guys like them yeah and look that's just what they do when they need a play it's especially like if they're in like a second and long situation especially they they just run duo explain to the listeners what that means because that's like real no nonsense they're not trying to fool you power football exactly that's when you when you dedicate two blockers to one guy with the idea of getting one of them to the second level and you just bully the first guy off the line create an initial run lane the second guy gets the second level creates you a second crease and that's exactly what montgomery did and followed except he also broke a tackle on his way out which is really what sprung him for the massive gain and to show off those wheels that may not be as fast as Gibbs but they're still fast enough I absolutely love it and yes we went a little long on Lions-Ravens but these are two teams in to me in the inner circle of possible teams we could see in Santa Clara in February and they delivered an incredible game.

You probably think of Walmart as a store that carries about everything under the sun and maybe not as a place to discover small brands. Well, two things can be true at the same time, because Walmart is home to thousands of small brands founded by people who had an idea, took a chance, and built something of their own. Behind everyone is a real story and a lot of hard work. So why not take a little time to recognize all the people building small brands across the country and support everything they're creating?

44:34Nick Shook:Walmart is proud to give those brands a place on its shelves and online. It's never been easier to find and support small brands. So, take a look at Walmart. You might come across something new, something unexpected, or a brand whose story speaks to you. You never know what you're missing until you look. Discover thousands of small brands at Walmart.com. We are going to rank the news items that came out today in injuries in order of how I believe it will impact these teams. And we'll be quick on it, but some of them are pretty big. Nothing bigger than Nick Bosa being out for the season. with a torn ACL.

45:15Nick Shook:Yeah, I mean, this is a history. He has a history of a torn ACL. He is their best player on the defensive front. They underwent a lot of changes in the offseason on the defensive front with the idea that, hey, we're going to trim salary, but we have Nick Bosa there to still rush the passer. Now you lose him. Greg, I watched the game against the Cardinals on Sunday, and they win that one, and I'm like, I cannot freaking believe that the San Francisco 49ers are 3-0 because they continue to lose, guys. Yet they continue to win games. Bryce Huff had a nice game against Arizona, but he's not Nick Bosa.

45:47Nick Shook:They invested in Mikel Williams. He's young. Like, it does concern me, but I'm also not going to sound the alarm bells because they've been, you know, managing all these injuries so far in their 3-0, but it is a crushing blow for them, for sure, just because of your, in terms of defensive potential and what you can do to get after a passer. It's going to put that much more stress on their fantastic linebacking duo of Fred Warner and Dee Winters and on that secondary. And you hope that they can make it through. So far they are, but it's a big loss. It's huge. I listen to a 49ers podcast sometimes called Candlestick Chronicles, and they thought he was the most irreplaceable guy on the entire roster, at least going into the season, because of the total lack of depth in their mind.

46:29Now, three weeks in, Bryce Huff has been better than you could have ever expected. He can give you some pass rush juice. He's not a number one, but he's been better. Mike L. Williams, their first-round pick, is in that Arik Armstead mold. As a good run stopper, you can play him inside. He really looks like a good pick, a top-15 pick, and he looks like it. Not a big-time pass rusher. They're going to have to manufacture some pass rush. They are a good team defense. I think Robert Sala has really helped their defense overall, but it's just a huge fall, and you do wonder if, with Bosa out, those two guys won't get to be as effective as they've been.

47:09I think they are a huge candidate to go pick up someone because the 49ers are about that life. Now, we'll see who's trading defensive ends. Will the Saints want to trade like a Carl Granderson or a Cam Jordan? Like, there will be players available. Generally, these types of trades, it's not going to be blockbuster, but like a Carl Granderson, for instance, from the saints for like a fourth or a fifth round pick, he he's going to play valuable snaps. Those are the types of moves that I'm talking about. Because if you look at the 49ers schedule, it's pretty, it's pretty cake. Like this division is great.

47:48Not everyone can make it right now. They're all above 500, but the out of division schedules, pretty cake. So I w I would think that they will make a move. Cause I think their offense can get better as they get Brandon. and Iuke back as obviously they get Brock Purdy back and, and, and just get healthier in general on offense.

48:04Nick Shook:Yeah. I'm trying to think about who might be available outside of a team like the saints, because like I, they're not going to trade Cameron Jordan. It's well, they're not going to get the return that makes it worthwhile. I think even at this point in his career, just because he's a saints legend, but like you do have to swing some sort of someone from the, the Titans, like Arden key. Like there are some gross looking teams out there. Would cave on Thibodeau be available if they're one in six, in mid-October. You know, this is a conversation probably for another day. And, you know, on one hand, you know, you really feel for Bosa and anyone who has a big-time injury like this.

48:40On the other hand, man, the 49ers are almost like a case study in the risks of putting so much of your salary cap into just a handful of players. Every guy they give a monster contract to has, like, a major injury. The players deserve it. So, you know, I always believe they deserve it. But CMC, Arik Armstead, a couple of years ago, that happened exactly to him. And then, like, right when he got a contract, Brandon Ayuk, now Nick Bosa. I might be forgetting some. Dre Greenlaw got a nice contract for them and then got hurt. There's just been a lot of bad luck. The Cowboys have had some bad luck, too.

49:17This is number two on my list for affecting them. Can they win games, Shook, without CeeDee Lamb and their guard, Tyler Booker, their first-round pick? both of them will be out multiple weeks with high ankle sprains cd lamb will not be put on ir they want to evaluate it really after a couple games and see if he has a chance to return after

49:37Nick Shook:that yeah you know why they're evaluating after a couple of games because they saw how bad their offense was with him out of the game in chicago on sunday and how much it hurt i mean dac's playing great football but you lose your guard in tyler booker who's played really you know really well for a rookie and then you lose your top target receiver and suddenly all you're left with is Jake Ferguson and George Pickens. That's a big loss. And that's a big loss for a team that is going to be heavily dependent on their offense because their defense can't stop a nosebleed. So that's why you give yourself the shorter runway or the possibility of it by evaluating in two weeks because a high ankle sprain is not a quick turn.

50:10Nick Shook:And unless he's young enough to heal quickly, it's going to be more wish casting than actual reality. And that's going to hurt them. And especially, you know, where they are as a team right now, you know, they're one and two and they're coming off of a loss in which they looked significantly worse than the team they played in the second half in Chicago and I just don't see it getting any better for them because they can't stop anybody defensively and now their offense is going to be weaker oh no by the way the date with Micah Parsons and the Packers is next week maybe they get a bit of a reprieve by week five at the Jets and then the Panthers week six but I don't know man the vibes are not good with this team right now and this does not help at all no their their only chance to having a fun season was going to be able to outscore teams and you just can't do it with cd lamb and two missing offensive linemen remember they also lost their their starting center for six to eight weeks so that's two interior offensive linemen that are going to be out it's just not going to happen they're going to be one and three and their only chance you know schedule wise to kind of get to that relevance and win those shootouts were to win the games like carolina and against the jets like you have to win those games and that's going to be more difficult without cd lamb and tyler Booker, who, like I said, is going to be out a couple of weeks.

51:18All right. Number three, and these are ranked in order of how it will impact standings. Number one in my eyes of how much you feel for the player. It's tough to rank this because Najah Harris is coming up at number four, but I just love James Conner and he's been really set back by injuries, obviously overcame cancer early in his career. So to hear he is out with a broken ankle, not a surprise after what we saw on the field but beyond you know feeling for him like what do you think this does for their running attack this season shook which really hasn't been great even with connor there

51:52Nick Shook:yeah i was gonna talk about how i feel about him just because i talked to him about his battle with cancer years ago and he was just a super nice guy and he's a guy that's easy to root for he's also been the identity of this cardinals rushing attack i mean he's been there since 2021 which i was reminded of today i can't believe time is flying by that fast uh and he's let them in rushing every year he's been there his last two seasons he broke in a thousand yards sometimes for offenses that are pretty limited they've been pretty limited overall in their first three games but they dearly missed him when he got hurt in this game and they were trying to put one away in san francisco all they needed was like a first down and they couldn't get one because they couldn't run the ball amari di mercado is not a guy that you run between the tackles consistently he's more of a guy that you're lean on as a pass catching back.

52:34Nick Shook:You got Trey Benson, who's a second year player, who's going to have to be asked to do a lot more. You're probably going to pick up somebody because those are your two remaining guys, essentially. And I don't feel good about the balance of this offense, which is already kind of struggling. Kyler Murray's been all right. His connection with Marvin Harrison Jr. is not consistent. He's more consistent with other pass catchers on this team. You do have Trey McBride. He finally caught a touchdown before the last month of the season this year which is great but ultimately like i just very i'm very much concerned about the ceiling of this offense now without james connor and it may sound you know like i'm hitting the panic button and freaking everybody out or whatever but that's how important james connor has been to this offense there are games last year if he ran well they probably won and if he didn't they lost and now they don't have him at all so they got to find a different way to win yeah and he didn't look great but i think it was more about the blocking scheme i think they might miss their run game coordinator, their offensive coordinator last year, Clayton Adams, who's with the Dallas Cowboys.

53:29Their run game looks fantastic. I do think Trey Benson gives them some juice, but this is a team that's mediocre across the board. We'll talk about him more on Tuesday's show, which is only, what is it? Like 16 hours from now. So you don't have to wait long. We'll be previewing TNF, me and Jordan Rodrigue in the studio soon enough. Najee Harris, I mentioned out for the season with at torn Achilles. We thought this was coming. I thought he was running well this year. And there was a player two on Sunday, which I think showed the difference between him and Amari and Hampton, one where he got hit behind the line of scrimmage on the third and one.

54:04Hampton is strong, but Najee's even stronger. And he got over the line. And so I think they will miss him. But ultimately, they still have a great back in Hampton and some depth there. So I think they'll be okay. And then another thing we'll probably follow up on Tuesday with the Giants Jackson Dart situation. Brian Dable said that they're evaluating everything when asked if he's sticking with Russell Wilson. Ninety six percent chance they're going to Jackson Dart. But let's just talk about that when it actually happens. So we'll do that on Tuesday. The bigger surprise to me, Shook, was they asked Aaron Glenn if Justin Fields is definitely starting if he gets out of the concussion protocol.

54:47and he didn't give a clear answer for that like I'm okay with that he just was he just not ready

54:53Nick Shook:for the answer I know Tyron played pretty well but no I I think that it's weird because you sign Justin Fields to that to your contract with the idea that he's gonna be your guy for the next couple years and hopefully it works out but I think that the difference in the way this offense operates not dissimilar to the difference the way the Giants offense operates with Russell Wilson versus Jackson Dart granted we haven't gotten the regular season sample size on that but we saw what we saw in the preseason i think that could convince aaron glenn maybe we stick with tyrod and he ekes out a win for us or at least gives us a better chance of winning than going back to justin right away give justin a longer runway and i also think that they're playing miami where he senses an opportunity oh and also it's a prime time game i don't know if you'd probably trust the veteran and tyrod more than justin in that scenario and then you play the cowboys the week after that, which could offer you an opportunity to light it up.

55:44So what are we talking about? He played two games. One was terrible. The whole team was terrible. One was an incredible quarterback performance. I feel like you got to keep starting Justin Fields because if you get five of those, he would have won the game by himself against most teams. It was his defense's fault. And so I disagree. Here's another theory.

56:06Nick Shook:First time coach looking for a win. I think he's going to lean on the veteran. Here's another theory. It's a long week. They don't have a practice till Thursday. The two quarterbacks are quite different. Maybe he's just being cagey for the sake of being cagey. You know, like just, he's a defensive coach. He knows he doesn't want to have to prepare for Justin Fields or Tyrod and the difference. And he's just being vague. We'll find out. We'll talk about that later in the week. Appreciate everything you do, Shook. You will be back with us on Thursday night football. At that time, I actually will be in Dublin.

56:40So you're handling that game with Jordan Roderick. But we got a couple big-time shows before that. Play the music, Chris. We're ready to go. We've got our Tuesday show. We're going to decide what takes I'm bringing with me overseas. So we're going to just try out some big hot takes after three weeks, figure out what the best ones are. Of course, we have our preview show coming up later in the week. Man, Ravens and Lions, I thank you. When we were thinking about football in the offseason, this is the game we were waiting for.
