00:00So here you go to the below Sunday night allegedly at kickoff. It's gonna be around five degrees

00:08He's never played in a game

00:10Under 32 degrees Lamar Jackson or he's played in two and went one at one

00:15Yeah, I mean some of the numbers out there. I'm wondering where people are getting the information

00:20I mean we've had some cold days here in Baltimore that he's played in I don't I can't sit here and tell you what the

00:24Degrees were at the time of kickoff or whatever, but I think he'll be fine. He doesn't like the cold weather

00:29I don't think there's you know look he's a Florida kid of course

00:32He's not gonna like the cold weather, but that running game is gonna travel

00:35So when you start looking at things if it is really windy and cold

00:39I'll take that Ravens running game over anything else in this league

00:43You don't think that even Henry will have a problem if it's five degrees outside getting popped

00:49And running the football a lot in that kind of freezing cold. I mean that to me just sounds painful

00:56Getting hit do you wanna

00:58Do you want to hit Derek Henry in that weather? I mean so

01:02the other way to

01:04Somebody has to but I mean when you look at the Ravens honestly comparatively speaking to the bills

01:08They're an amazing team had this incredible season the Ravens fullback is bigger than almost the entire front seven

01:15So like it is a mismatch, and if they want to go jumbo and try to run the ball

01:19I think it's just playing right into the Ravens hands

01:22So you're not surprised at all that they're favored to win the game

01:26Not at all. I mean I look this isn't some homer call

01:29I thought the Ravens were the best team in football last year

01:31And I think they really showed it and then had the hiccup in the AFC championship

01:35And Pat Mahomes took advantage of everything that they gave him

01:38And then you come back this year, and it's been a really weird season

01:41They at one point they had lost five games in those five games

01:44They lost by 22 points and in those said five games Justin Tucker missed 22 points worth of kicks

01:49So it's been a really weird season

01:52But I think the defense since the switch at safety has been lights out

01:55They've been a top five defense in the league and this offense is definitely a top five offense

02:00So you think that the defense that wasn't there all year suddenly is there now?

02:05Hey look. I think there were some wholesale changes on the back, and they moved Kyle Hamilton back our Darius, Washington

02:11He's small

02:12But I mean watch him play like if you're not a Ravens fan

02:15And you don't hate the Ravens for any specific reason watch the little guy on the back and just laying people out and all over

02:21He's the guy that broke up the two-point conversion to win the game

02:24I mean he's done so much when you look at his body of work since they put him out there and

02:30What they had out there before were a couple of vets who I mean one looked like he didn't want to tackle one looked like

02:35He didn't know where he was
