Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to it, Broncos country tonight. Benjamin Albright here
with you post VP debate. Hope you guys enjoyed that,
we enjoyed doing that, reacting to it, all that kind
of stuff. Back to Broncos talk here though, five six
six nine zeros a text line taking your questions. A

(00:21):
lot of questions about what we can do to improve
the offense. And while I appreciate that, the real answer
here is helped Bonix grow, because that's the only thing
that we can do to improve the offense at this point.
You go back and you watch the tape. The Broncos
have about league average time in terms of time to throw.

(00:46):
I'm tired of the latest fad and I don't know
where it started, but somehow throughout my timeline I get
peppered with a statistic about wide receiver separation. I don't
know where this came from. Guys, We're throwing the ball
behind the line of scrimmage and mostly in his zone coverage.

(01:07):
We've played mostly zone teams thus far. Wide receiver separation
is not a thing. I understand where you're sort of
coming from. But unless it's against man coverage, that metric
doesn't mean anything, and then I get peppered with yards
after the catch numbers. Yeah, we're not getting yard into
the catch because the quarbacks still on the ball be

(01:27):
hind receivers, they don't have a chance to make a
play on it. This offense isn't really predicated for yack anyway,
but as it was, you have to lead the receiver
into areas where they can make moves. And so that's
sort of the thing I get sort of frustrated with

(01:51):
some of the analytics is a good thing. Anything that
helps refine your process is a good thing. But I
get sort of frustrated with our willingness to jump to
any number, any number that comes out we jump to
in support of whatever preconceived notion that we have. Guys,
the reason the offense is bad is because we have

(02:11):
a rookie quarterback. That's the reason the offense is bad.
We don't need to reinvent the wheel here. We don't
have to pretend that it's anything else. We've got a
rookie quarterback. He's not been great so far, and you know,
there have been flashes. And that's not to say that
he can't become good or great or whatever. But we

(02:32):
have a rookie quarterback. That's the reason the offense looks bad.
We have an offensive coordinator slash head coach who won't
stick to the run game and isn't setting this guy
up to do the things that he's best at, and
a rookie quarterback that the game is still too fast for.

(02:54):
And yeah, we can add in other things like, for instance,
you know the conditions where the slickball and all that
kind of stuff. But Aaron Rodgers threw for two hundred
twenty five yards in that game, So I'm not really
using that as as too much. I'll give the caveat,
but I'm not leaning into that as the sole reason.
Wet ball wasn't the reason he was throwing the ball
behind behind people before. It's not suddenly, you know, the

(03:16):
only reason that passes were inaccurate now, So I don't
you know. I look at this thing, and my solution
is run the ball more. Let's become an I formation
football team, and let's pound the ball at our opponents
and we use the occasional play action to keep them

(03:38):
out balanced. To me, that feels like the easiest solution.
Five six six one zeros text line. We have a
top three and it probably isn't two or three defense.

(03:58):
We have special teams that are pretty good. Okay, well,
let's take advantage of that. Let's find ways to be
successful and put this quarterback in the best possible positions
to succeed. Whatever you think about Nick so far, let's
put him in the best position to succeed. What is
that is that peppering the line of scrimmage with pass

(04:19):
plays that don't work. Probably not. Let's find some early
vertical stuff we can get to back them off. Let's
get running back screens involved. I'd love to see more
Texas concept. I'd love to see more choice routes for

(04:41):
the running backs. Why can't we go gun to back
and get both the backs out into routes. I think
there are things that we can do we haven't the
shallow cross or the easiest plays in football, especially out
of condensed set, the shallow cross, or we just don't
run it. On Bow's touchdown, you go back and watch

(05:05):
the tape on that. It was a bad throw wide
open Courtland Sutton, and it almost turned itself into an incompletion.
Courtland had made a great play on the ball. Bo
Nicks threw it behind Sutton, when it should have been.
The ball should have been thrown toward the back pylon
on the right hand side of the end zone. If
you're thinking about as watching this behind the quarterback, the

(05:27):
ball should have been thrown out towards that back pylon
right there was no defender in the area. You could
lob it over there and be fine it put it
out toward that back pylon, and instead both threw it
back toward the post when the receiver had already overrun that.
But I had to turn back around. Courtland made a
great play on the ball. Bo Nix has the potential

(05:49):
to be a good quarterback. I'm not sitting here trying
to bag on bow Nicks. I'm not sitting here trying
to hold him down or whatever it is you guys
think I try to do. I'm not. I'm not trying
to nag bo Nix, all right. I'm trying to be

(06:09):
realistic and objective. If you can be honest about the
flaws right now, you can work on try to correct them.
But we have a whole group of people here in
Denver who are dead set on thinking this guy is
a second coming because of some preseason games, and now
we look at this thing in real time, and it's
exactly what I said it was. And I don't want
the flowers. I don't want I didn't want to be right.
I don't want the congratulations for being right. I want
to say, look, I am right. Here's the problem. If

(06:32):
I'm right on this, which I am, then now we
can identify the problem. Let's work to solve the problem.
Being right on it and crowing about it means nothing
in the grand scheme of Okay, cool. I don't want
to be right. I want it to be fixed. So
how do we do that. We identify the problem. And

(06:55):
the problem right now is the quarterback. He's a rookie.
He needs time. The speed of the game is too fast. Okay,
how do we slow it down for him? We get
him to the line of scrimmage quicker, We quit using
the personnel shufflers, which thankfully they've started to do. We

(07:15):
get guys in a rhythm that can help him. The
running backs, we can get those backs in a rhythm
the way we did in the second half. We do
that early. Now we got teams biting the run. We
can suck those players up and then we can use
the play action game. Then we can press vertically, we
can back those secondary off We want the secondary. We

(07:36):
want the defense reacting to what we do to them,
not dictating to us what we do. And I just
it blows my mind. I don't understand. I do not
understand how we sit there and continue to back our

(08:00):
heads against the wall running things running an offense that
was created for Drew Brees. Bow Knicks is not Drew Brees.
Bow Knicks is not like Drew Brees. They're completely different
skill sets, completely different players and how they approach the
game and how they do things. So let's create an

(08:20):
offense for bon Nicks. What worked at Oregon. Let's run
some of that. Let's let's take some of the concepts
that worked at Oregon. I get it, their college concepts.
So there's an embarrassment factorily, you know, stop take the
things a guy does well and just keep doing the
until somebody stops it. Tell you win games. You don't

(08:45):
have to sit there and say, my offense because your
offense is dictated by how good your quarterback is. We've
tried these these side screens. They don't work either. We're
blocked im properly, We're throwing it to the wrong spot.
They just don't work. We've tried these condensed formations and

(09:07):
it leaves our quarterback a little uncertain as to whether
or not dB pressure is coming off the edge. Let's
stop doing that. Let's spread it out, spread it out
a little bit, play with some tempa when you when you,
it looks like when you take the thought process away
from Bo Nicks and he can operate on football instinct.
He looks like a better player. I comped him to

(09:31):
Drew Derek Carr coming out. I don't I like Derek Carr.
I don't think Derek Carr is a bad player. I
think Bo Knicks can be a serviceable quarterback in this league.
I just don't think that what we're doing is pointing
in that direction. I'm glad we won the game against

(09:55):
the Jets because I and I think Matt Ryan put
it most succinctly when he said, as a ququarterback, you
first have to learn how to not lose before you
can learn to win. And the Broncos had a bit
of that going on in that game. They had to
learn how to not lose it and they found a way,

(10:15):
and I'm hoping that they can build on that. You
got the Raiders coming to town this week. They're bagged up,
they've got internal problems, made the wrong call hiring the
interim coach. You never hire the interim head coach never.
They can't seem to get any offense going. The defense

(10:36):
is getting weaker by the minute, and now DeVante Adams
wants a trade. This should be a game where you
try to punch them in the mouth of the run
game early and when you get up then you can
play around with some things. Let's try this, Let's put
this on tape. Let's see if the quarterback can do this.

(11:02):
Worry about the scoreboard first and then the quarterback. And
I think that there are things that they can do
and start putting some things on tape if they can
build some early leads and go from there. But what
we've done so far is some of the most predictable

(11:24):
offense on the planet outside of the Bucks game. Going
a little vertical early. That was kind of nice. It
was a nice change. We saw a little bit of that.
It tried in the Jets game, although the weather sort
of prohibited that. But if the weather is taking you
out of doing things like that, pound the rock and
the Broncos weren't the only team that made a mistake

(11:45):
trying to do The Jets were trying to throw the
ball early too. One of their biggest mistakes was getting
the DPI on Riley Moss in the end zone. They
line up at the goal line at one yard and
they don't even have their two hundred and thirty five,
two hundred forty pound running back in there at all.
They run two plays with Breese Hall and a boot
and a boot play that goes incomplete. When you got

(12:08):
to get one yard, I mean, yeah, you can goof
around for a play. Okay, We're gonna do this and
try and do this. Okay, and then you go to
the battering ram power on power, you goof around on
first down. Fine, we got We're looking at two plays
to get one yard and we're putting in our bbmf

(12:35):
our big bad you know what. And the Broncos should
be the same way. I dare them. I challenge them
to adopt the identity of a smash mouth football team.
Let's go I formation. Why not zig what everyone else
is zagging. Let everybody else spread it out with three

(12:57):
wide receivers. We'll bring in a tight end to full
back and we'll shove it down your throat. Stop us.
The most demoralized I've ever seen a team was a
few years ago when the Never Broncos were playing the Raiders,
and that's exactly what they did in the second half.
They ran it right down their throats. Nineteen of twenty

(13:20):
six plays were the same play. You want to make
teams regret even having lined up across from you. Become
that team, Become a team that can run the ball
with power at will, and nobody wants to play you,
no one. You could win games by getting off the

(13:44):
bus at that point. You still have to go out
and execute, obviously, but you can have a psychological edge
that they can't take from you. The minute you become
in your opponent's mind a physical football team, you've already
started the process of winning. And the Broncos have been

(14:04):
considered a finesse team for years since Peyton Manning. Now
having a Peyton Manning covers all manner of sins, you're
able to get away with that. But nobody wants to
be a finesse football team. It's not what you strive for.
It's not in the in the football mindset. If you
are that team and you're able to get away with it.

(14:25):
Good Good for you. If you have a good enough quarterback,
good for you. Broncos don't have that right now. And
then again, that's not a knock on bon Nicks. He's
a rookie. What did you expect? But you have to
prop him up in the best possible way to succeed.
The best way to do that is, as we saw

(14:47):
in the second half of the game against the Jets,
running the football. Run the ball when everybody else is
concerned about EPA metrics and throwing the ball and all
this other stuff. Run the ball. You're paying that offensive
line a ton of money. Use them. Run the ball,

(15:12):
get going downhill. Get to the point where teams are
fearful of playing the Denver Broncos, and not just because
they're going to be going up against the tough defense.
They're afraid of the sixty five car crashes. They're going
to experience every player on the field as you continue
to pound it downhill on them. Giving him a mix

(15:34):
of Javonte Williams and Julia McLoughlin. Atterrick astimate when he
comes back, I know the team signed to the practice squad.
Solve An Ahmed today most of his game tape comes
from Miami Dolphins. Playtime, Power, running back, and catch ball
a little bit too. It's also going to help your

(15:59):
quarterback though. Those teams pack in the box with eight guys,
you're gonna get one on ones on the outside. Your
quarterbacks gonna get a lot more confident his ability to
get the ball there. They're biting on the run game.
You can have more time to get it there. Cleaner pockets,
and we saw what he could do with clean pockets.

(16:20):
Tampa didn't have Vtava or Kladjakansi. They couldn't get any
pressure on on this offensive line. It looked good. It
looked good for a minute. So help slow this quarterback
down by running the football. I can't bang the table
enough for run the ball. Run the ball, Run the ball.
Forty carries a game, Run the ball, get more into

(16:42):
when we come back. You listen to Broncos Country Tonight
right here on KOA. It's a fifty am ninety four
WHATFM News Talk Sports. Welcome back to it, Broncos Country Tonight.
Benjamin all right here with you Post VP Debate Edition five,
six six nine zero. He's the text line. Talk a
little bit about how to set vote Nix up for

(17:03):
success in the last segment. Fun shows the rest of
the week, and I believe we'll have Steve Atwater at
studio Tomorrow's gonna be a lot of fun. Nick Ferguson
will be back Broncos Country tonight. He is back in
its regular time slot now that the Rocky season has ended,
every night at six pm, every week night, six pm.

(17:24):
One of the things he talked about a few weeks
ago was how the changes the NFL rule books suggested
that the league had sort of put a target on
the back of cheap motion for this season, and specifically
with the Dolphins, Niners and Rams something that they were running.

(17:46):
And there are a lot of whole nothing to see
here type stuff from officials that were visiting camp. But
Mike McDaniel seemed to acknowledge that a chain was coming
and saw it last night on Monday Night Football, the
Miami offense racked up five illegal shift fouls, three on
the same drive. Mike mc daniel addressed it today saying, quote,

(18:11):
guys aren't getting set fast enough, so I have to
take a look at the amount you use motions and
stuff to try to get players some advantages advantageous situations,
but you have to pull back from that if you
can't execute them, because there's no play that works that
doesn't even get a chance to get started. It's by
Joe Shadd of the Palm Beach Post. The question is

(18:33):
whether officials are officiating it differently or whether the players
are actually executing it differently. Jalen Wattle said, Well, they
harp on it a lot. They harp on a lot
of the motions that we do. Sty'rely making an emphasis
in the league. So it's something we've got to adjust to,
and that is the key. You Dolphins do have to
adjust to what officials are calling. The motioning part of

(18:54):
our offense is something that our players have been good
at the past and have used it to create advantageous situations.
But I mean, you can't just keep doing the same
thing to fully adjust if guys can't execute in the
moment of truth like McDaniel. And yeah, that's the key,
figuring out the rules, knowing what we'll draw a flag,
not doing it. Monday Night's double header. The Monday Night

(19:15):
Football double header last night averaged twenty point three million
viewers over the two and a half hour overlap, and
I don't really like the simultaneous overlapping double header. This
was a second straight week they've done it. Two more
are coming. The ESPNABC platforms generated in an audience of

(19:37):
more than twenty point three million during the two point
five hour overlap between the games. The late game in
Detroit on ABC averaged more than fifteen million viewers. ESPN
didn't mention the numbers for Titans Dolphins, which usually means
they were significantly lesser. I don't know if it's good

(20:02):
to have a family of networks owned by the same
people have competing games on It feels like that takes
voter eyeballs away. But having two games on the same
time Monday night doesn't feel like a win to me.
Maybe I'm wrong about that. If you guys like it,
let me know. Five six six nine zero forty nine

(20:26):
Ers left tackle Trent Williams, he is in his fifteenth season,
doesn't know how much longer I'll play. Williams told Rich
Eisen that I don't know. I don't think I'm going
to put an expiration date on it. I'm just going
to enjoy this process, enjoy the ability to wake up,
live dream, enjoy the ability to get up and play,
playing a child's game for a king's ransom. I don't

(20:48):
want to think about the end. I just want to
enjoy every minute of it. Trent Willias remains one of
the best of the business at his position. Third consecutive
All Pro honor last season, eleven Pro Bowls, will be
a first ballot Hall of Famer five years after his retirement.
I might look up. We might be five years down
the line, well Eaves said. I might look it up.
It might be two years down the line. But at

(21:08):
this point, I don't even see the reason in looking
toward the end. I'm fifteen years in. I know I
don't have another ten left, but frankly, I'm not going
to put a cap on it. I'm from Texas, born
and raised Longview, Texas. Williams said, I'm groomed to play football.
I've just been playing football since the second grade. It's
pretty much all I know. I'm just chasing that perfection.
I want to be the perfect player, be the best

(21:29):
offensive lineman to ever play the game. That fire is
still burning inside. So as long as it's burning, I'm
going to be playing. For those of you that pay
close attention you weren't as surprised as others might have
been by the on side kick the Dolphins attempted late
in last night's game. Play happened after a safety. The

(21:52):
Dolphins had a free kick at their own twenty, and
they are legally permitted to declare and attempt an on
side kick. The Dolphins punted the ball at the twenty
and it landed on the Miami forty seven. Titans made

(22:16):
the Peter call as the ball was landing, and Titans
special teams quarter at Cole Anders was livid, telling the
players that they should have made a fair catch. ESPN
rules analyst Jerry Bergman seemed pretty confused to play by Flay.
Announcer Chris Valero's primary Beats College Football kept insisting the
Titans should have called for a fair catch, but the

(22:36):
players on the field weren't confused by any of it.
To their credit, they apparently knew the rule. If the
kick goes untouched beyond twenty five yards from the spot
of the kick, the ten yard restraining line plus the
fifteen yard setup zone, the receiving team takes possession. On
top of that, here's the penalty quote for an onside
kick that goes untouched beyond the on side kick setup zone,

(22:56):
loss of fifteen yards from the kicking team's restraining line
and receiving team possession. Ball landed two yards past the
setup zone, and that means even without a fair catch,
it becomes Tennessee's ball. On top of that, they got
the ball of fifteen yards half the distance. Basically, while
it required a careful and knacurate estimate of where the

(23:17):
ball would land, the Titans players got it right. Hit
the ball hit the ground more than twenty five yards
in the spot of the kick, and if a Tennessee
player called for a fair catch and muffed it, the
Dolphins could have recovered the ball and retain possession. So
people should have known about the rule before last night.
Special teams people should have known about the rule before
last night, but I be willing to bet every special
teams player in the league certainly knows the rule after

(23:41):
watching it. Now. Talked a little bit earlier on the
show about the Raiders shopping DeVante Adams. According to Paul
Guitierrez of ESPN, the Raiders have been formed interested team
they would consider trading the three time All Pro and
return for a second round draft pickdditional compensation. Adams is

(24:04):
still owed thirteen point five million of his seventeen point
five million dollars salary and bonuses for this season. It's
under contract through twenty twenty six, but his salaries the
next two seasons jumped to thirty five point six and
thirty six point six for twenty twenty five and twenty
twenty six, respectively. Adams would likely have to agree to
a restructured contract to facilitate a trade. The Raiders gave

(24:25):
the Packers a first and second round pick back in
twenty twenty two to acquire Adams. Wells twenty one hundred
and twenty one catches for eight hundred sixty nine yards
and twenty three touchdowns and thirty seven games with the Raiders.
Miss This past Sunday's game with a hamstreak injury is
considered a week to week. Raiders play the Broncos in
Denver on Sunday. Yeah, that game right here on KWEI.

(24:52):
Cowboys placed DeMarcus Lawrence on the injured reserve, making it
official today. Everybody expected it. Defensive DeMarcus Lawrence on the
I missed at least four games is a list. Frank
Andrey in his right foot and is expected to need
four to eight weeks to recover. The move was definitely expected.
The cowboys other starting end, Michael Parsons, was also injured
in the game as a high ankle sprain, probably missing

(25:12):
the next two games before the bye. All of the
Cowboys haven't ruled him out against the Steelers. Parsons wants
to gut it out. The team thinks that maybe and
maybe asking too much. Mike Evans was upgraded to limited

(25:36):
practice participation today. The Bucks turned in an estimated report.
Evans has been out due to knee and calf issues.
A huge Day's report said would have been a limited participant,
so fantasy owners can certainly take themselves in that. Mike

(26:00):
McDaniel said Tyler Huntley will get his second straight start
at quarterback for the Dolphins on Sunday against the Patriots.
McDaniel said that Skyler Thompson's not yet one hundred percent
clear from his rib injury, Huntley will get the nod
New England. Huntley got his first start as a Dolphin
in Monday Night's loss to the Titans. Didn't play particularly well,
completing fourteen of twenty two passes for ninety six yards.

(26:23):
McDaniel said, we're planning on going with Tyler after reviewing
the tape. There's reasons for guys to be excited about
that because while the output wasn't nearly what we wanted,
there are some things to build on. We'll keep working through.
The Dolphins offense has been the worst in the NFL
since tuatuga Alas suffered a concussion of Week two, and
they are in desperate need of significant improvement, but McDaniel

(26:46):
doesn't think changing quarterbacks again is the way to accomplish that.
The NFL has suspended von Miller four games for a
violation of the Personal Conduct policy. Former Bronco Von Miller
was off to a strong start in twenty twenty four
three sacks of four games. He'll now miss the next four.

(27:08):
NFL announced Miller's been suspended four games without pay for
violating the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. Miller will be eligible
for reinstatement on October twenty eight, following the Bill's Week
eight game against the Seahawks. The league said in this
game is against the Texans, Jets, and Titans. League didn't

(27:32):
specify the reason for the suspension, however, Miller was accused
of felony assault back in twenty twenty three. Vaughn called
the allegations false at the time, and the alleged victim
eventually recanted. If the victim did not cooperate with the
NFL's investigation, league would have been required to rely on

(27:54):
police reports and related evidence harvested before the alleged victims
said no Salt assault had occurred. There is no chance
for appeal here. Decision is final. Miller is going to
be suspended for the next four games, Lion said. Coach
Dan Campbell expressed regret on Monday night that he hadn't

(28:16):
given Jared Goff a game ball after the quarterback finished
a perfect eighteen of eighteen passing for two hundred ninety
two yards two touchdowns and caught a seven yard touchdown pass.
Campbell told reporters today that that mistake had been corrected.
We found one, Campbell said with a chuckle at his
press conference. Normally what we do is I'll give out

(28:37):
an immediate game ball afterward, and normally we always have
another one or two show up when we do it
here day after the game after a win. So that
was an easy one to get him. That one. Golf
had the most passes without an incompletion in NFL history
on Monday Night, helping power the Lions to a forty
two twenty nine over the Seattle Seahawks. Detroit will have

(28:59):
its by Week five before going to Texas to play
the Cowboys in Week six. Another defensive lineman suspended. Browns
defensive tackle Mike Hall pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct
to resolve the case that began his domestic violence arrest
this summer. The NFL placed him under personal conduct policy. Today,

(29:20):
Hall has been suspended five games by the league. He'd
been on the Commissioner's exemplst so he hadn't played yet
this season. While you're on the exemple list, you do
get paid. He will not be paid during his suspension.
Browns drafted Hall the second round this year, miss games
against the Commanders, Eagles, Bengals, Ravens, and Chargers before he
will be eligible to return. Browns have a bye week ten,

(29:44):
so the week eleven game against the Saints would be
the first time he'd be available. Miami's offensive output certainly
wasn't where they wanted it to be, but they're getting
some players back. Five players eligible to return this week
week after missing four games. Wide receiver Rodell Beckham is
one of two players who'll have his twenty one day

(30:05):
window opened with a return to practice. Coach Mike McDaniel
told beat reporters today Beckham is not practiced with the
team since signing a one year deal, beginning the season
on the reserve pup list. Beckham, who's thirty one, had
an off season procedure that Dolphins said they were aware
of when they signed him in May. Procedure has not
been disclosed publicly, but it's kept Beckham from doing any
football activity. Beckham's only played thirty five games since the

(30:30):
start of the twenty twenty season, Dolphins haven't had a
true third receiver to go with Tyreek Kill and Jalen Waddle.
With Beckham and River Crai Craft sidelined all season. Craig
Craft had an upper body injury in the preseason went
on ire to start the season. He's not ready to return,
McDaniel said. Corner Cam Smith also ready to return to

(30:53):
practice this week. The Tennessee Titans got their first win
on a game that Will Levis started, but Mason Rudolph
did the heavy lifting. Levis injured is throwing shoulder on
a run early in the game. And it's not like
Rudolph lit it up. He had a sixty seven passer rating,

(31:13):
but he was better than Levis's been. Titans have it
off week this week, but when the return to action,
Callahan declared immediately after the game that Levis would continue
to start a healthy I appreciate Mason's professionalism, Callen said.
I appreciate how prepared he was, how ready was to

(31:34):
go to the game. But Will is our starting quarterback.
I said it last night. I'll reiterate it again. When
he's healthy, he's starting. Hopefully he's healthy for Indian We're
ready to roll and he's the starting quarterback. Because it's
hard to play quarterback in the NFL's everybody knows does
take some development. Guys make young player mistakes. You see
it all across the league right now. Want to find
out everything we can about Will. He's going to continue

(31:55):
to grow, get better, play better. He needs to play
better for us, and at the end of the day,
I believe he will. That's where I am with that
whole thing. There's no controversy, no second guessing. That's what's happening.
That's as clear as I can state it. Will Levis
has been one of the worst quarterbacks in the league
to start the season. Steelers could get Isaac Steemlow back

(32:16):
this week. Steelers suffered a number of injuries along their
offensive line so far this season, but maybe getting their
best player back for a week five. Left guard Isaac
Ciamalo has not played yet this season due to a
pectoral injury, but he's progressed to the point where head
coach Mike Tomlin thinks it's a good chance he'd be
able to play against the Cowboys. Tomlin said, I'm excited
about the potential of having Isaac back in the offensive line,

(32:38):
especially given some of the attrition that's happened in recent weeks.
He was close last week. I think it's reasonable to
assume he's got a real shot to make it this
time around. Spencer Anderson and Mason McCormick have seen time
in his place, and his return would likely put them
at the mix right guard moving forward. James Daniels tore
his achilles and Sunday's lost to the Colts. Don't call

(33:04):
him old. Derrick Henry hit twenty miles per hour more
than any other ball carrier than Tyreek Kill Ravens running
back Derek Henry showed he still has plenty of speed
during Sunday Night's win with the Bills. In fact, only
one player in the NFL consistently runs faster with a
ball in his hands than Henry. According to the NFL's
Next Gen Stats tracking, Henry hit a top speed of

(33:26):
twenty one point two nine miles per hour at his
eighty seven yard touchdown and run against the Bills, was
the eighth fastest speed reached by a ball carrier since
next Gen Stats began tracking in twenty eighteen. In that time,
Henry has now hit twenty miles per hour twenty seven times.
Only Tyreek Kill, who's hit the twenty mile per hour
mark seventy three times, has reached the twenty mile per

(33:47):
hour mark while carrying the ball more times than Henry has.
Hill is one of the fastest players the NFL has
ever seen. The fact that he's hit twenty almost three
times as many as a testament to his speed, but
it's an extraordinary accomplishment for Henry and second place. Given
Henry whigs about two hundred fifty pounds. NFL has never
seen a player with a combination of Henry's size and speed.

(34:10):
Having that big back back there certainly does make running
the ball a little easier, especially if you've got a
mobile quarterback. It opens lanes. Always been a Derek Henry fan,
but I like him in that offense. The Ravens look
to be getting back on track after that Bills game.
