00:00between the Ravens and the Chargers.

00:02Ravens secure the W 30 to 23.

00:04They up the ante 8 to 4 record wise.

00:06Chargers dropped to 7 and 4.

00:08We were talking about some of the props that didn't look so

00:11great as the game moved forward Tom.

00:14So let's take it offense by offense as we like to do starting

00:17on the Chargers side.

00:18I know one of the things that wounded me tonight.

00:21I was on about it.

00:22I was a little cocky during the pregame talking about some

00:25how does Herbert not hit massive yardage tonight?

00:28I mean, he just went to 97.

00:29He can do it versus this team that lets up 300 plus to

00:32quarterbacks and he closes the night with 218.

00:35That was heartbreaking for me.

00:36His prop was sitting at 262 and a half bumped up a little

00:40bit still giving hope and then there was not much shakeage

00:43when it came to halftime.

00:44We saw everything stay pretty solid which indicated to us.

00:47Okay, there was still plenty of plays still alive.

00:49So what did you make of Chargers offense, Herbert's performance

00:52and some of the props that just completely failed on that

00:55side?

00:56Oh, I want to say Herbert didn't play badly like the like

01:02what his stats reflect is not necessary on him.

01:05He was at 129 at halftime.

01:08We got to remember that 129 at halftime.

01:10He ends the game with 218 yards.

01:12So he has less than a hundred yards in the entire second

01:15half.

01:16He also ends with 21 completions and I spoke heavily on

01:19the pregame show about Herbert going over 21 and a half

01:22completions.

01:24How many drop balls did we see in that second half specifically

01:28from Josh Palmer and Quinton Johnson?

01:30I mentioned that I need Quinton Johnson to have three fantasy

01:33points for me to win a matchup and he ended the game with

01:35zero.

01:35So I'm personally distraught about that.

01:37When we look at Herbert's stats, those drop passes, I'm not

01:42talking about every single pass needs to be caught but catch

01:45four or five of them for another 40-50 yards.

01:47Then his prop would be in play, right?

01:49So like his prop looks bad and maybe could have one passing

01:53touch.

01:53I'm not going to say he would have 300 yards and three touchdowns

01:56off this game, but you know, getting to 250 yards and one

02:00touchdown, that would look a lot better.

02:02And when we're looking at the box score, this is what I've

02:05said since week one, like we have to know things in context

02:07like Herbert's box score looks bad tonight and it's not necessarily

02:11his fault.

02:12Running game was never going to happen today.

02:14I spoke about it on the pregame show.

02:16We're all over that.

02:17McConkie is their main guy.

02:18We did see Will Disley go over 37 and a half receiving yards,

02:22which I said we saw some of these other guys step up and we

02:24also saw some of these other guys fail.

02:26So the receivers for the Chargers, I don't want to say is

02:30the reason that they lost tonight's game, but it's the reason

02:32that their offense didn't move down the field tonight.

02:35No, but it's the perfect point out because let's touch back

02:38to a couple of weeks ago where Herbert put up these monster

02:40numbers and that's when you and I were discussing like these

02:43numbers don't reflect the play that we saw on the field tonight

02:46and now here's the perfect reverse like Herbert did his job

02:50honestly for the most part, but those drops were just what

02:53was that?

02:54It's not anything that I would have expected us to see after

02:57at least for me.

02:58I'm over here raving about the Chargers offense starting to

03:01look collectively better starting to find a rhythm.

03:03I mean key words, they were just completely burnt out by

03:07the time that halftime came undone.

03:09So McConkie is probably the one thing that anybody could

03:11stand behind so behind so sharply outside of talking about

03:14Herbert.

03:15I mean they were talking about the fact that he had such

03:17a veteran presence and he's still so new to all of this.

03:19So 83 receiving yards through the air six receptions.

03:23I mean hats off to him.

03:24Honestly, it would just got better if he was able to find

03:26the end zone tonight just to secure the stats and help out

03:29Herbert just a little bit more.

03:30But if it wasn't for the work that he put in, I mean, we

03:33don't know what these numbers would have looked like.

03:34So key point out on that part.

03:36That's for sure.

03:37I'm so sorry about Clinton Johnson.

03:39I felt that vein for you after you threw out the tweet and

03:42the fantasy numbers and I didn't want to add insult to injury,

03:45but we do have probably a brighter spot.
