Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one, our number one, and we
go into the Poet's Nest in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
What a Monday night game.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It was back and forth and back and forth and
back and forth until it wasn't As the Lions get
the upset win. Who do you point the finger at
for John Harbaugh's Ravens. We'll talk about that here in
our number one of the Ben Mather Show. Also, do
the Ravens have a Derrick Henry problem? Three games, three fumbles,
(00:32):
last two games, Henry's averaging three point one yards combined
per attempt? And does this count as a statement victory
for Dan Campbell's Lions as they get her done the
MotorCity Kitties in Maryland.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That was some bad poetry if you had the Ravens there. Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the ban

that Lucky Tony did not call up on the program
last night after the Chicago Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
But no Lucky Tony. He might be in dreamland, who knows,
but we're.

The way tire buying.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Should be, so our lead this hour from the big
made for TV matchup in Baltimore, the final act of
Week three.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
We are now almost twenty percent into the NFL season
and it was a big time Inner Conference matchup. Is
this a preview of the Super Bowl in Northern California
coming in February of twenty twenty six, or merely just
a matchup that will be forgotten in the large, wide
(03:01):
angle lanes of the NFL season. So anyway, I bring
this up because he had Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
taking on Dan Campbell and the traveling circus that is
the Detroit Lions. They came in there. I don't know
if you saw this game or not. We watched so
you would not have to. And it was up set
(03:21):
City the Ravens, who had been as big as a
six point favorite in this game. They ended up at
four and a half and they were back and forth
for a while, but then the Lions pulled away. Jamir
Gibbs and David Montgomery. There goes that man. Watch him
run run, run, run, run, run, run, both of them
(03:42):
as Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery each ran for two
touchdowns a piece, and Detroit doing something you don't normally
expect the Lions to do.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They bullied. They bullied, they played bully ball.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
They bullied the Baltimore football team thirty eight to thirty
in a game that really wasn't that close when you
think about the fact that the Lions gave up that
last touchdown, even though they had a two touchdown Lee,
it is kind of let up a little bit there
at the end the final second.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
The Lions are two and one.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
They sacked Lamar Jackson not once, not twice, not three times,
how about not four, not five, not six? Seven sacks
outrushed the Baltimore football team. Two hundred and twenty four
yards on the ground for the Lions and eighty five
for the once proud Baltimore football team Detroit scoring on
(04:31):
drives of ninety eight and ninety six yards. They had
drives of ninety eight and ninety six yards.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
All right, so let us discuss the question is this,
who do you point the finger at? The better store
in the losing locker room? So who do you point
the finger at? For John Harbaugh's Ravens, who's the the
one wearing the dunch cap? That's the question, who is it? All?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So, well, before we get into this, let's hear from
the aforementioned John Harball, And here's John Harball pointing out
that the Ravens defensively, well, it's kind of obvious here
they're not very good against the run.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
The biggest problem is we didn't play good run defense.
I mean, we didn't as a defense complete. We didn't
do it. And that's not going to be good enough.
There's nobody in that locker room that thinks that's good enough.
That's disappointing as bad run defense. And that's not who
we are. It cannot be who we are. It's just
it's not going to be good enough. It's not going
to be acceptable, and it's got to be better.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
So again the question here, the jumping off point, is
the question who do you point the finger at?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
For John Harball's Ravens. He mentioned the run defense.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
There, I've got Rick Bottino, Bart Simpson and DNA and
we will combine all of these things together and we
will throw them against the wall and we're going to
make some delicious grilled chicken, is.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
What we're going to make.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So a.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
This is not who the Ravens have been, but it
is who they are now. Is that a fair statements?
That an accurate statement that Harbaugh's complaining about the run defense,
which is true.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But this is supposed to be John Harbaugh's sweet spot.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night, any kind of night,
especially at home and his team comes out there like Gangbusters.
They do the monstermish the monstersh in this game, they
did the opposite. They're usually the ones that are pounding
teams in submission, and on this night they were powdered
(06:37):
and mashed potatoes is what they were. It is soft
and fake cream and no bite. And that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
They were a reminder though, as the iconic sportscaster Dick
Stockton taught me years ago here at Fox Sports Radio,
stats tell you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
And that's the reality of the situation. Here they got
they being the Raven's, got completely manhandled by the line.
I thought the Lions were the right side. You watched
(07:04):
Benny versus the Paint on YouTube. We did tell you
to take the Lions. Did I think they were gonna
play that well, no, absolutely not. I did not expect
that at all. But this is not just losing a
game for Baltimore. To me, it feels bigger than that. Oh,
you're being too dramatic. I don't think I am. It's
like an identity crisis for the Ravens. Like the Ravens
(07:25):
have always been that team in the last twenty years
or so, with few exceptions, the Ravens have been that
team that you'd circle on the calendar and it's like,
oh no, that's gonna be a that's gonna be a
nasty game. You play the Ravens, They're gonna push you around,
they're gonna punch you in the mouth, they're gonna poke
your eyes. I mean, that's a good football team. That's
(07:47):
a physical football team, and you're not gonna be able
to push them around. And so here we are in
twenty twenty five. We are about twenty percent into the
NFL season, and the Ravens are lightweights there, pushovers. These
are not your daddy's Ravens. They're not John Harball, you
know what you got to bring in here? I got
advice here. I'm gonna tell my guys sports with Coleman,
(08:08):
who's boots on the ground in Baltimore. John Harbaugh needs
to bring in Rick Patino because Rick Patino can give
these guys on defense, say pep, talk here and say listen, now,
rally the team around. He said, listen, boys, Ray Lewis
is not walking through that door. He's not all right,
And just tell the fan Ray Lewis is not walking
through that door. Terrell Suggs is not walking through that door,
(08:31):
and Ed Reid is not walking through that door. And
if you expect them to walk through that door, they're
going to be gray and old. Boom, drop the mic.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
The Ravens have the worst defense in the National Football League.
Put that in the pipe and smoke it of hard
to believe stuff. The Ravens are dead last. They are
thirty second.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
In the NFL. That's not my opinion, it is a fact.
I've done the maler Matt.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
The Ravens have allowed an average of four hundred and
fifteen yards per game, and that includes a laugh or
a blowout win courtesy of Joe Flacco, who gave the
game to Baltimore in Week two. It's embarrassing with the
capital leave for the Ravens. And then on Monday Night
football they allowed that running game and Jared Goff also
(09:21):
made some key third down plays as well. But Dan Campbell,
those guys, they were able to do whatever the hell
they wanted. Four hundred and twenty six yards four one
hundred and twenty six yards for the team representing Michigan,
the Detroit Lions they're fifty percent conversion on third down,
(09:41):
they were perfect on fourth down and nearly perfect in
the red zone.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Wowsers.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And it's like they were playing at some stretch of
that game. It was like seven on seven. It's like
a walk through.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It was insane.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And you know, meanwhile, you have Lamar Jackson, Yes, mister
multi time MVP Lamar Jackson. And if you look at
the box score for Lamar, you're like, well, he played
pretty well. Look at the numbers there. You can't rip
Lamar Jackson. Want to bet, so you gotta dig a
little deeper. And this is like, if you didn't watch
the game, you think.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, listen, Lamar was fine. I don't know what you're
talking about. You're just bring a short jark.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He needed to be better. He needed to be better.
He needed to be better. And if you dig deeper,
the numbers he put up are misleading. I'll tell you why,
all right. So he averaged ten point seven yards per
past attempt two hundred and eighty eight yards. Seventy eight
of those yards and a touchdown pass came when the
game was already decided. I mentioned the Lions laid up
(10:44):
after they went up by two touchdowns late in the
game in garbage time. That is a stat bondito performance
that Dak Prescott will be impressed with. So the Lions
were up thirty eight twenty four and then Lamar on
a few pass plays them all the way down the
field the Ravens, and they went down and scored a touchdown.
But there's only like twenty seconds or something left in
(11:05):
the clock. The game was over at that particular point.
And then you've got the HeLa monster in the room,
the HeLa monsters, and the Komodo dragon in the room,
and that is the negative place, and that is what
loses games. It's a simpleton's way to look at a
football game. But if you just look at the quarterbacks
side by side, and roughly ninety percent of the time,
(11:30):
the quarterback that makes fewer mistakes his team will win
the game.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Now, those negative.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Plays, A negative play is a sack, of fumble, an incompletion.
Those are negative plays. And if you look side by
side in this game, Lamar Jackson had fourteen negative plays
in this.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Game, seven sacks.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Seven of them he had a fumble that was recovered
in incompletions left and right. He had six incompletion in
the game. So you do the math on that, it
works out to be fourteen. The sack number is rather shocking.
That is tied for a career high. Hey, Lamar, you've
just been sacked seven times. What are you gonna say
for yourself, Lamar.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Jackson, I think there were suck seven times tonight.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That rarely, rarely happens with you.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
What what were you seeing back there that was causing problems?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Man, guys are doing stunts and they had a a
spy and sometimes the spy was they were grabbing my
leg and that's just what it was. You know, Guys,
they were chopping the coverage. You got three safeties back there,
and I'm just not gonna throw a Hail Mary ball,
you know, I'm gonna read the coverage out and then
try to make something happens.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Spy spy versus spy. That's the issue there.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So Jared Golf, on the other hand, while Lamar had
fourteen negative plays, Golf had nine, which is said, well,
that's not that big a difference, but in a game
that's closed, it is a big difference.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Zero sacks. Jared Goff had zero sacks.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
The offense I ran the ball lot so you didn't
have too many opportunities to get sacked. And generally speaking,
this was a even though Lamar had good fantasy numbers
thanks a lot to that last drive, there overall not good.
And the Ravens normally the ones that are doing the steamrolling,
(13:18):
and in this game they were not. They were soft, certainly,
defensively uninspired, defensively dazed and confused.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
In this game.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
And Baltimore now desperately trying to get their mojo back
as they have a losing record and they go to Arrowhead.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
How about that for a plot twist.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You've got the Chiefs sitting at one and two, the
Ravens at one and two. One of those two teams
will be at five hundred, the other one to be
one in three, a quarter of the way into the
NFL season. Who goofed, I've got to know. But right now,
we do the show right now, and the Baltimore Ravens
look like a middle of the pack AFC team. They
have a bottom of the league defense, they have an
(13:58):
offense that will be fun against most anyone, and certainly
we'll beat up on the Tomato Cans of the NFL.
But man, all right, now turning the page on that.
The other big issue, if you will, for Baltimore is
do the Ravens have a Derrick Henry problem? And that's
the question. So I'm gonna nod my head yes on this.
(14:21):
Dereck Henry had a very mediocre stat line in this game,
but he also had a signature fumble yet again for
Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
So I'm not in my ask.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You look at the circumstantial evidence on this, and it
is piling up, and it's the same evidence that we
have seen for many, many years doing this job, where
you're since the dawn of time, when you're running back
of a certain age and things all of a sudden
stopped working right.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
It goes pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
But before we get into the meat of that, let's
hear from We'll hear from Henry in a second, but
let's hear from the aforementioned John Harbor. While here's John
Harbaugh talking about what was a backbreaking fumble late by
Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It happened again, here's the coach.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
We got to get it fixed. I mean that was
that was kind of a blind shot there. I thought
he had the ball in good position, you know, I
thought the defender got a good look at it though,
because it was kind of a pretrace cutback play. So
a little bit of perfect storm. But still, I mean,
we just want to protect football, you know, all our
guys do, and we got we gotta do it. We
gotta be good at it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's a perfect storm, except it's happened three games in
a row. Three games in a row. All right, here's the.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Man of the hour here, Derrick Henry. You're the running back.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You were right there among all the top players in
the NFL last year, a great renaissance in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And now what do we got here? Well, explain for
yourself what happened on that fumble Craser right now?
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Three games straight and having in my career string fumbles
being critical moments, it was.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, I ain't gonna do.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I apologize Throught Nation, and you know, I'll just since
you working their it's.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
A flock Nation. It's a cheesy name the Ravens marketing
department came up with. It could do better, flock It
sounds like sounds like you say that too many times.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
He'll say the effort. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So I want to go back though to the argument,
my argument here with Derek Henry, and I was skeptical.
I was, I was completely wrong. Last year. I said,
what are the ravens doing here? And we bring in Henry.
He was showing some signs of regression in Tennessee. They
brought him in and he shoved it down my throat.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
But here we are a year.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Later and three games in, and it's like, well, this
is the thing that we have seen from running backs
since the dawn of time. As I mentioned here, once
they hit that magic age of thirty, they run into
a wall. It's not a gentle fade. It's not like
you're fading out from a scene in a TV.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Show or a movie.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's oh, he's useful in certain spots. It's not that
it's a cliff dive. You're free diving off the side
of the Grand Canyon and you're just diving. There's a
rope or a parachute or anything like that. You're just
diving and you don't get a warning flare. It's not
like they say, well, by the way, here's a warning.
You're running backs starting to get worse and worse and
(17:20):
worse and worse that you don't get a caution sign.
They don't send that out it's bam. You go from
King Henry to court Jester Henry.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Overnight, just like that, Just like that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Now one second you are the wrecking ball and then
the next your toast, your toast. He's thirty one, which
is not old, but in sports when you're running back,
that's an issue. Birthday is coming up in early January,
and the numbers tell the story if you look at it.
Three point one yards per carry combined the last two
(17:56):
games against the Browns and now against the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
That is plotting. That is ordinary.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And fumble that's the scarlet letter, the fumble things the
scarlet letter. Three straight games, three straight fumbles, lost two
of them in key matchups. The Buffalo Bills don't come
back and win that game without the generosity of Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And you can make.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The same argument that the Lions, they don't win that
game without the help of Derrick Henry. That he's doing
more to help the other team right now than he
is to help his team. And so Henry, if it
doesn't work out, if this continues here, he can at
least replace Bart Simpson and be the new face of Butterfingers,
right because at three games in a row and that's
as many as he had all of last year. For
(18:39):
Derrick Henry, you can't be that guy. You're not that guy, Palp,
You're not that guy, certainly, not now, not ever in
your career. Like at least he used to be good.
Ramandre Stevenson fumbles all the time for the Patriots, but
he's you know, he's not that good. And so if
you're Baltimore, though, what do we always say, don't let
a falling star fall on you. Don't do it, you
(18:59):
just and not do it. Don't sit there on the
ground and look up and the falling star falls onto
The Ravens historically have prided themselves on a lot of things,
but they are always a smart team and they're a
physical team and all that stuff. And Henry is not
looking right now like much of a centerpiece.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
He did for three quarters in that game against Buffalo
in Week one, but that's three weeks ago now, and
it doesn't appear to be just a pothole.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
It does not appear to be just a pothole at
this point. And now you go against.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Kansas City at Arrowhead, a stout Chiefs defense coming up
next week, and if Henry does not look like his
old self then, and you start, We'll wait a minute here.
Now it's like a quarter of the way into the
NFL season, and does he fumble again here? And running
backs generally at age thirty one heading into age thirty
(19:48):
two don't just bounce back. It's not a bounce back situation.
They usually fall apart pretty quickly. And Derrick Henry, who
has always been that he's got that fear factor where
he's scared the other team, and it does. The only
thing he's scaring right now is the raven fan base,
flocked nations as he called it. There all right, last word?
(20:08):
Quickly to the winner's locker room we go where we
were very critical. I got an email from John, who
lives in He says he lives outside Detroit, so i'll
say the suburbs of Detroit. And John said he wrote
me immediately after the game, which I knew was one
of those oh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Anytime you get an email right after a gamers, no no,
no no, your opinion sucked, you know, that was that
cod ofing. It was like, I remember what you said
after that game in Green Bay. I remember wash your
mouth out, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So question, does this count as a statement victory for
Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions to sasha their way into Baltimore
and get the win? So yeah, I'll nod my head. Yes, Listen,
I reacted. The job is to read and react. That's
the job.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You read. It's like playing defense.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You read and react in basketball, whatever, and in certain
elements of football you read and react.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And so I'm not in my yes.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yes, Detroit was strutting into what is supposed to be
a hostile environment and they didn't blink. They did not
blink in this game. After the no show, which is
dope from outside Detroit who emailed me all worked up
into a ladder there. The Lions deserve to be ripped
for the way they played against green Bay, especially considering
(21:31):
how they played against Baltimore, like what do you?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And then they.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Destroyed the Chicago Bears as well the green Bay game.
We were on after the green Bay game, they deserved
a lashing. We gave them a lashing, and there were
some lingering questions about whether or not they were going
to be as good.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
They had changed the roster.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
A little bit. The coordinators were different. Those were legitimate questions.
This is the kind of a win for the Lions
on the road, on the road against a brand new
franchise like the Ravens that helps answer those doubts. It's
not just that they won the Lions, it's how they
won physical aggressive. Now they're always fearless on fourth down
(22:14):
and all that stuff. That'll come back to bite Dan
Campbell in the ass. But that's his DNA. That's in
the Dan Campbell DNA and all that stuff. And what
happened was soft dome team. I thought all these dome
teams is soft. Well, maybe the Ravens might as well
play an adult in the way they're playing right now.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It was the Ravens defense that was soft around the edges,
a very jello like in this particular performance here. And
so there you go. The Lions on the catwalk there
they flexed. They did a pirouette right there on the
catwalk for everyone to see, and they made their little
statement and they shook their tushy and they walked away.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Congratulations. There you go.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
They are legit, and so they proved it in this
particular game. Unless the Ravens turn out to be total frauds.
Then we visit this, but we do the show right now,
and so right now that is my position on the lines.
Speaker 1 (23:00):

It's good. Good to be. You're just passing through town, right,
you send me an email. You're lucky.

But I happen to see your letter, and then I
was tipped off to it. I want you to see here.
Look at all these are all Blind Scott emails. You

(26:00):
But anyway, you're here now, and you you've been on
the road for a while, right I have.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, I delivered up in the Bay today. I was
coming back down from Washington. Uh, and I've been out
almost two months except for I had one day at
home and.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
What did you one day? That's nothing day.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
To to quarter change it.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, so you just changed clothes and got back on.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
The road all the kids real quick.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
And yeah, and you're gonna be on the road for
for a while.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Right, almost a Thanksgiving. But I'm thinking of flying home
from Seattle, trying to get to my son's hockey tournament
and then my daughter that plays college softball. They have fallball,
so back to back weekend. So I'm trying to get
like eight days at home and do those today at
least be part of the family.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
We're going to leave the truck though.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I have a couple of places in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Some people you know some people.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know some people, and if it disappeared, it wouldn't
be the worst thing.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Really got insurance. You I know some people. Yeah, it's
you know, it ends up in the ocean or something
like that. But if it's a good looking truck. And Louis.
Last time we saw Louis, he was shedding all over
the studio.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
He's good right now he hasn't he hasn't been shedding,
so we'll have to get it's so bad that he
had to move into a new studio.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yes, that's right. We we left the well you saw
the old one still there. It's just it's like a
museum or.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Something like that. That was an amazing thing. When I
parked and got out of the truck. He knew exactly
where to go.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
It's been almost three years.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And anyway, he's very Louis. Louis is for those that
can't see because we're on radio, they can't see, Loui
is a very energetic French bulldog.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Right is that an accurate statement?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah? On Louis, he's trying to walk for see.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
The problem is Louis, Uh, your dog here smells Moxie,
my dog.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's what I was thinking. It was giving you moxie. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because they hang out with my dog Moxie. And then
so there you go. It's all. It's all related here.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
And I know you don't want to talk about the giants,
and I don't blame you. I wouldn't want talk about the
giant either, because giants terrible and they suck and they're
the same old story.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
H hasn't changed a bunch in ten years.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, actually more, I think it's more than that now, right,
it's it's twenty twenty five, so it's been fifteen years, right.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Roughly, ufout fifteen years. Pile on. I want to pile
on movie man.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Man. I remember a time, I mean, the rams had
to change cities to be relevant. I remember, Oh, I
see that you're doing.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
What about is what you're doing? See what about it?
They didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
They just they had an owner that got given a
bunch of money to go to Saint Louis Georgia Frontierera
and that's it. Scrooge rights and says if Mahomes and
Kansas City can put up at least twenty five points
on the Baltimore defense, then their offense really is broken.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
So he says they couldn't even put twenty two twenty
five up on the Giants.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, Jason, that is a fair point, Jason says, King
Henry looking more subpar than Mallard in a pickup football
game at MacArthur Park. Well, no, you don't go to
MacArthur Park for pick up foot You go there to
get fentanyl.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
That's where you go to MacArthur Park for right. I
think that's where you go. It's a good same I
know a couple of places.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Actually, Oh really okay, interesting Late Night drug Testers is
a great start to the show. Also, thanks for the
butterfinger reference. I need to restock my Halloween candy since
I already ate the bags I bought last week.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Wow. Yeah, that's a lot of candy.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Well, I'm convinced, like I don't. I don't think kids
even trick or treat that much anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
It's dangerous. I always people are putting drugs in candy. No,
that's mostly urban legends. I've always hoped to find drugs
in my cats. Yeah, I know, it's made mostly urban legend.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It's just like we used to buy these giant bags
of candy every year, me and the wife, and then
we were the ones that ended up eating them all
because there were like ten kids that would come by
the house.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
So when I was young, and I'm sure when probably
the old check for razor blades.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I still break that out on my kids, just so
I can take candy.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, well you got a taste, you gonna be the taste.
You know exactly what I'm doing, Yeah, exactly. Is completely
understandable that you need to make sure and you pick
your favorites, of course. No, Almond joy right, there's nobody
you don't like Almond joy right now does anyone like
Almond Joy?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I like Almond and her name is Joyce.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Well that's probably why she likes it right there.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
And nobody really like really likes something. No, she at
least has an excuse.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
There's always that kid.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's like the last candy in there, and that's the
way it goes. Nature Boy writes in answering the call
the while he says, I enjoyed watching the lions run wild.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
They got spanked.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Tonight, we're hanging out our buddy, moving man Matt stopping
by on his way through southern California's heading to San Diego.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So he's he's got the mobile billboard. We took some photos,
but it's the.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Premise you're always here at night because we do the
short at night, and I don't get the great photos
because it's nighttime, so I can't get the wonderful photos.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
But that's that's true. Well, the last time the front
half of the mallet billboard was the old mallet bill Yeah,
so this is the first time that this one has
made it appean, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
This is the new You got rid of the old one, right,
you went, you work for somebody else, like privately, right.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
You know that I bought this one and sold that one.
It was kind of a flip mixed match Okay, I
have an idea.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
What if we parked the truck up on top of
the eighth story of the parking structure and took a picture.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Of it up there.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I don't think it would fit in the parking structure. Like,
I'm pretty sure it's yes, Lorraina. He drives all he's
based in the Boston area. He drives all over the country,
moving over.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Here like he's got a key of Ford.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
How many how many houses of stuff can you fit
in the in that truck?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
You probably multiple.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Houses, right, I mean thirty thousand pounds.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Thirty thousand pound truck. Can you imagine he tries to
go into the parking garage there? Good luck?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Am I get stuck?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Last last time I pulled a U turn on Supulva.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
What depends at what time it is, It depends how
busy it is.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, this time I came in the right way.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You want to leave here because there's some really shady
things that happen once we get done with the show,
So you want to get out of here before that.
Ferg Dog says, I don't know about the kids, but
I'm definitely going trick or treating this year.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Hope to give.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Hope you give me a lot of candy when I
come by your house.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, if you come by my house, you will be
immediately arrested for going. But you know, go to Brian
Finley's house, Go find where Finley is and knock yourself out.
We are at at Ben Mahller if you'd like to
be part. That's at Ben Maller we're talking about. We
started out talking about the Monday night game, a domination situation. Now,
during that game, we had Troy Aikman who was so
(32:30):
excited about Dan Campbell. Just before the Lions picked up
that first down on fourth and one, he screamed on
television on ABC.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
There he's got big onions. He's got big onions. Huh Yeah,
that's what he said.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Because he can't say ball, so he said big onions onions.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
So anyway, I thought that was amusing. Didn't Akman use?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Aikman used to complain, right, didn't he complain about going
forward on fourth down? That'll that cost the Lions? Remember
the game against the Niners in the NFC Championship game.
He didn't work out quite as well in that game,
got burned by that going.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
For it It's great when it works. Obviously, when it
doesn't work, not so much. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It is the Ben Mathers Show. We're hanging out here
and time now for the who am I?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Game?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I know louis excited about that. Louis the dog very
excited about that. Calm down, Louis, I know you don't
know the answer here. It is Lions running back David Montgomery.
Who David Montgomery? He joined JK. Dobbins, Maurice Jones, Drew,
Michael Vick and me as the only players to have
one hundred and fifty plus rushing yards and two plus
(33:42):
rushing touchdowns on fewer than fifteen carries. That goes back
to nineteen seventy. Again, Lion's running back David Montgomery, joining JK. Dobbins,
Maurice Jones, Drew, Michael Vick and me, is the only
players to have one hundred and fifty plus rushing yards
and two plus rushing touchdowns or fewer than fifteen it
(34:03):
carries and fewer than fifteen carries since nineteen seventy That
is the question.

Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one, our number one, and we
go into the Poet's Nest in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
What a Monday night game.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It was back and forth and back and forth and
back and forth until it wasn't As the Lions get
the upset win. Who do you point the finger at
for John Harbaugh's Ravens. We'll talk about that here in
our number one of the Ben Mather Show. Also, do
the Ravens have a Derrick Henry problem? Three games, three fumbles,
(00:32):
last two games, Henry's averaging three point one yards combined
per attempt? And does this count as a statement victory
for Dan Campbell's Lions as they get her done the
MotorCity Kitties in Maryland.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That was some bad poetry if you had the Ravens there. Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the ban
Mallard Shaw. We are in the air everywhere as we
pop over for a little visit you and I hear,
and we give you limitless hot air coast to coast, border,
(01:29):
the border and beyond on the vast and uproariously powerful
microphones of FSR am mondating live from another dimension, a
dimension of only sound in mind, the boundaries of imagination,
the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by
(01:51):
that schmuck supermarket Steve and Lucky Tony. Although people surprised
that Lucky Tony did not call up on the program
last night after the Chicago Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
But no Lucky Tony. He might be in dreamland, who knows,
but we're.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Hanging out together here from the ty Iraq Studios and Tirak,
a partial sponsor of this hour of the Ben Malors Show,
and for over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping
customers find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive. Ship fast and free back by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
(02:28):
ti iraq dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
The way tire buying.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Should be, so our lead this hour from the big
made for TV matchup in Baltimore, the final act of
Week three.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
We are now almost twenty percent into the NFL season
and it was a big time Inner Conference matchup. Is
this a preview of the Super Bowl in Northern California
coming in February of twenty twenty six, or merely just
a matchup that will be forgotten in the large, wide
(03:01):
angle lanes of the NFL season. So anyway, I bring
this up because he had Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
taking on Dan Campbell and the traveling circus that is
the Detroit Lions. They came in there. I don't know
if you saw this game or not. We watched so
you would not have to. And it was up set
(03:21):
City the Ravens, who had been as big as a
six point favorite in this game. They ended up at
four and a half and they were back and forth
for a while, but then the Lions pulled away. Jamir
Gibbs and David Montgomery. There goes that man. Watch him
run run, run, run, run, run, run, both of them
(03:42):
as Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery each ran for two
touchdowns a piece, and Detroit doing something you don't normally
expect the Lions to do.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They bullied. They bullied, they played bully ball.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
They bullied the Baltimore football team thirty eight to thirty
in a game that really wasn't that close when you
think about the fact that the Lions gave up that
last touchdown, even though they had a two touchdown Lee,
it is kind of let up a little bit there
at the end the final second.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
The Lions are two and one.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
They sacked Lamar Jackson not once, not twice, not three times,
how about not four, not five, not six? Seven sacks
outrushed the Baltimore football team. Two hundred and twenty four
yards on the ground for the Lions and eighty five
for the once proud Baltimore football team Detroit scoring on
(04:31):
drives of ninety eight and ninety six yards. They had
drives of ninety eight and ninety six yards.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
All right, so let us discuss the question is this,
who do you point the finger at? The better store
in the losing locker room? So who do you point
the finger at? For John Harbaugh's Ravens, who's the the
one wearing the dunch cap? That's the question, who is it? All?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So, well, before we get into this, let's hear from
the aforementioned John Harball, And here's John Harball pointing out
that the Ravens defensively, well, it's kind of obvious here
they're not very good against the run.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
The biggest problem is we didn't play good run defense.
I mean, we didn't as a defense complete. We didn't
do it. And that's not going to be good enough.
There's nobody in that locker room that thinks that's good enough.
That's disappointing as bad run defense. And that's not who
we are. It cannot be who we are. It's just
it's not going to be good enough. It's not going
to be acceptable, and it's got to be better.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
All right.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
So again the question here, the jumping off point, is
the question who do you point the finger at?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
For John Harball's Ravens. He mentioned the run defense.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
There, I've got Rick Bottino, Bart Simpson and DNA and
we will combine all of these things together and we
will throw them against the wall and we're going to
make some delicious grilled chicken, is.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
What we're going to make.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So a.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
This is not who the Ravens have been, but it
is who they are now. Is that a fair statements?
That an accurate statement that Harbaugh's complaining about the run defense,
which is true.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But this is supposed to be John Harbaugh's sweet spot.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night, any kind of night,
especially at home and his team comes out there like Gangbusters.
They do the monstermish the monstersh in this game, they
did the opposite. They're usually the ones that are pounding
teams in submission, and on this night they were powdered
(06:37):
and mashed potatoes is what they were. It is soft
and fake cream and no bite. And that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
They were a reminder though, as the iconic sportscaster Dick
Stockton taught me years ago here at Fox Sports Radio,
stats tell you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
And that's the reality of the situation. Here they got
they being the Raven's, got completely manhandled by the line.
I thought the Lions were the right side. You watched
(07:04):
Benny versus the Paint on YouTube. We did tell you
to take the Lions. Did I think they were gonna
play that well, no, absolutely not. I did not expect
that at all. But this is not just losing a
game for Baltimore. To me, it feels bigger than that. Oh,
you're being too dramatic. I don't think I am. It's
like an identity crisis for the Ravens. Like the Ravens
(07:25):
have always been that team in the last twenty years
or so, with few exceptions, the Ravens have been that
team that you'd circle on the calendar and it's like,
oh no, that's gonna be a that's gonna be a
nasty game. You play the Ravens, They're gonna push you around,
they're gonna punch you in the mouth, they're gonna poke
your eyes. I mean, that's a good football team. That's
(07:47):
a physical football team, and you're not gonna be able
to push them around. And so here we are in
twenty twenty five. We are about twenty percent into the
NFL season, and the Ravens are lightweights there, pushovers. These
are not your daddy's Ravens. They're not John Harball, you
know what you got to bring in here? I got
advice here. I'm gonna tell my guys sports with Coleman,
(08:08):
who's boots on the ground in Baltimore. John Harbaugh needs
to bring in Rick Patino because Rick Patino can give
these guys on defense, say pep, talk here and say listen, now,
rally the team around. He said, listen, boys, Ray Lewis
is not walking through that door. He's not all right,
And just tell the fan Ray Lewis is not walking
through that door. Terrell Suggs is not walking through that door,
(08:31):
and Ed Reid is not walking through that door. And
if you expect them to walk through that door, they're
going to be gray and old. Boom, drop the mic.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
The Ravens have the worst defense in the National Football League.
Put that in the pipe and smoke it of hard
to believe stuff. The Ravens are dead last. They are
thirty second.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
In the NFL. That's not my opinion, it is a fact.
I've done the maler Matt.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
The Ravens have allowed an average of four hundred and
fifteen yards per game, and that includes a laugh or
a blowout win courtesy of Joe Flacco, who gave the
game to Baltimore in Week two. It's embarrassing with the
capital leave for the Ravens. And then on Monday Night
football they allowed that running game and Jared Goff also
(09:21):
made some key third down plays as well. But Dan Campbell,
those guys, they were able to do whatever the hell
they wanted. Four hundred and twenty six yards four one
hundred and twenty six yards for the team representing Michigan,
the Detroit Lions they're fifty percent conversion on third down,
(09:41):
they were perfect on fourth down and nearly perfect in
the red zone.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Wowsers.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And it's like they were playing at some stretch of
that game. It was like seven on seven. It's like
a walk through.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It was insane.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And you know, meanwhile, you have Lamar Jackson, Yes, mister
multi time MVP Lamar Jackson. And if you look at
the box score for Lamar, you're like, well, he played
pretty well. Look at the numbers there. You can't rip
Lamar Jackson. Want to bet, so you gotta dig a
little deeper. And this is like, if you didn't watch
the game, you think.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, listen, Lamar was fine. I don't know what you're
talking about. You're just bring a short jark.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He needed to be better. He needed to be better.
He needed to be better. And if you dig deeper,
the numbers he put up are misleading. I'll tell you why,
all right. So he averaged ten point seven yards per
past attempt two hundred and eighty eight yards. Seventy eight
of those yards and a touchdown pass came when the
game was already decided. I mentioned the Lions laid up
(10:44):
after they went up by two touchdowns late in the
game in garbage time. That is a stat bondito performance
that Dak Prescott will be impressed with. So the Lions
were up thirty eight twenty four and then Lamar on
a few pass plays them all the way down the
field the Ravens, and they went down and scored a touchdown.
But there's only like twenty seconds or something left in
(11:05):
the clock. The game was over at that particular point.
And then you've got the HeLa monster in the room,
the HeLa monsters, and the Komodo dragon in the room,
and that is the negative place, and that is what
loses games. It's a simpleton's way to look at a
football game. But if you just look at the quarterbacks
side by side, and roughly ninety percent of the time,
(11:30):
the quarterback that makes fewer mistakes his team will win
the game.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Now, those negative.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Plays, A negative play is a sack, of fumble, an incompletion.
Those are negative plays. And if you look side by
side in this game, Lamar Jackson had fourteen negative plays
in this.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Game, seven sacks.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Seven of them he had a fumble that was recovered
in incompletions left and right. He had six incompletion in
the game. So you do the math on that, it
works out to be fourteen. The sack number is rather shocking.
That is tied for a career high. Hey, Lamar, you've
just been sacked seven times. What are you gonna say
for yourself, Lamar.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Jackson, I think there were suck seven times tonight.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That rarely, rarely happens with you.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
What what were you seeing back there that was causing problems?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Man, guys are doing stunts and they had a a
spy and sometimes the spy was they were grabbing my
leg and that's just what it was. You know, Guys,
they were chopping the coverage. You got three safeties back there,
and I'm just not gonna throw a Hail Mary ball,
you know, I'm gonna read the coverage out and then
try to make something happens.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Spy spy versus spy. That's the issue there.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So Jared Golf, on the other hand, while Lamar had
fourteen negative plays, Golf had nine, which is said, well,
that's not that big a difference, but in a game
that's closed, it is a big difference.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Zero sacks. Jared Goff had zero sacks.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
The offense I ran the ball lot so you didn't
have too many opportunities to get sacked. And generally speaking,
this was a even though Lamar had good fantasy numbers
thanks a lot to that last drive, there overall not good.
And the Ravens normally the ones that are doing the steamrolling,
(13:18):
and in this game they were not. They were soft, certainly,
defensively uninspired, defensively dazed and confused.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
In this game.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
And Baltimore now desperately trying to get their mojo back
as they have a losing record and they go to Arrowhead.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
How about that for a plot twist.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You've got the Chiefs sitting at one and two, the
Ravens at one and two. One of those two teams
will be at five hundred, the other one to be
one in three, a quarter of the way into the
NFL season. Who goofed, I've got to know. But right now,
we do the show right now, and the Baltimore Ravens
look like a middle of the pack AFC team. They
have a bottom of the league defense, they have an
(13:58):
offense that will be fun against most anyone, and certainly
we'll beat up on the Tomato Cans of the NFL.
But man, all right, now turning the page on that.
The other big issue, if you will, for Baltimore is
do the Ravens have a Derrick Henry problem? And that's
the question. So I'm gonna nod my head yes on this.
(14:21):
Dereck Henry had a very mediocre stat line in this game,
but he also had a signature fumble yet again for
Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
So I'm not in my ask.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You look at the circumstantial evidence on this, and it
is piling up, and it's the same evidence that we
have seen for many, many years doing this job, where
you're since the dawn of time, when you're running back
of a certain age and things all of a sudden
stopped working right.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
It goes pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
But before we get into the meat of that, let's
hear from We'll hear from Henry in a second, but
let's hear from the aforementioned John Harbor. While here's John
Harbaugh talking about what was a backbreaking fumble late by
Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It happened again, here's the coach.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
We got to get it fixed. I mean that was
that was kind of a blind shot there. I thought
he had the ball in good position, you know, I
thought the defender got a good look at it though,
because it was kind of a pretrace cutback play. So
a little bit of perfect storm. But still, I mean,
we just want to protect football, you know, all our
guys do, and we got we gotta do it. We
gotta be good at it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's a perfect storm, except it's happened three games in
a row. Three games in a row. All right, here's the.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Man of the hour here, Derrick Henry. You're the running back.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
You were right there among all the top players in
the NFL last year, a great renaissance in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And now what do we got here? Well, explain for
yourself what happened on that fumble Craser right now?
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Three games straight and having in my career string fumbles
being critical moments, it was.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, I ain't gonna do.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I apologize Throught Nation, and you know, I'll just since
you working their it's.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
A flock Nation. It's a cheesy name the Ravens marketing
department came up with. It could do better, flock It
sounds like sounds like you say that too many times.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
He'll say the effort. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So I want to go back though to the argument,
my argument here with Derek Henry, and I was skeptical.
I was, I was completely wrong. Last year. I said,
what are the ravens doing here? And we bring in Henry.
He was showing some signs of regression in Tennessee. They
brought him in and he shoved it down my throat.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
But here we are a year.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Later and three games in, and it's like, well, this
is the thing that we have seen from running backs
since the dawn of time. As I mentioned here, once
they hit that magic age of thirty, they run into
a wall. It's not a gentle fade. It's not like
you're fading out from a scene in a TV.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Show or a movie.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's oh, he's useful in certain spots. It's not that
it's a cliff dive. You're free diving off the side
of the Grand Canyon and you're just diving. There's a
rope or a parachute or anything like that. You're just
diving and you don't get a warning flare. It's not
like they say, well, by the way, here's a warning.
You're running backs starting to get worse and worse and
(17:20):
worse and worse that you don't get a caution sign.
They don't send that out it's bam. You go from
King Henry to court Jester Henry.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Overnight, just like that, Just like that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Now one second you are the wrecking ball and then
the next your toast, your toast. He's thirty one, which
is not old, but in sports when you're running back,
that's an issue. Birthday is coming up in early January,
and the numbers tell the story if you look at it.
Three point one yards per carry combined the last two
(17:56):
games against the Browns and now against the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
That is plotting. That is ordinary.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And fumble that's the scarlet letter, the fumble things the
scarlet letter. Three straight games, three straight fumbles, lost two
of them in key matchups. The Buffalo Bills don't come
back and win that game without the generosity of Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And you can make.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The same argument that the Lions, they don't win that
game without the help of Derrick Henry. That he's doing
more to help the other team right now than he
is to help his team. And so Henry, if it
doesn't work out, if this continues here, he can at
least replace Bart Simpson and be the new face of Butterfingers,
right because at three games in a row and that's
as many as he had all of last year. For
(18:39):
Derrick Henry, you can't be that guy. You're not that guy, Palp,
You're not that guy, certainly, not now, not ever in
your career. Like at least he used to be good.
Ramandre Stevenson fumbles all the time for the Patriots, but
he's you know, he's not that good. And so if
you're Baltimore, though, what do we always say, don't let
a falling star fall on you. Don't do it, you
(18:59):
just and not do it. Don't sit there on the
ground and look up and the falling star falls onto
The Ravens historically have prided themselves on a lot of things,
but they are always a smart team and they're a
physical team and all that stuff. And Henry is not
looking right now like much of a centerpiece.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
He did for three quarters in that game against Buffalo
in Week one, but that's three weeks ago now, and
it doesn't appear to be just a pothole.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
It does not appear to be just a pothole at
this point. And now you go against.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Kansas City at Arrowhead, a stout Chiefs defense coming up
next week, and if Henry does not look like his
old self then, and you start, We'll wait a minute here.
Now it's like a quarter of the way into the
NFL season, and does he fumble again here? And running
backs generally at age thirty one heading into age thirty
(19:48):
two don't just bounce back. It's not a bounce back situation.
They usually fall apart pretty quickly. And Derrick Henry, who
has always been that he's got that fear factor where
he's scared the other team, and it does. The only
thing he's scaring right now is the raven fan base,
flocked nations as he called it. There all right, last word?
(20:08):
Quickly to the winner's locker room we go where we
were very critical. I got an email from John, who
lives in He says he lives outside Detroit, so i'll
say the suburbs of Detroit. And John said he wrote
me immediately after the game, which I knew was one
of those oh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Anytime you get an email right after a gamers, no no,
no no, your opinion sucked, you know, that was that
cod ofing. It was like, I remember what you said
after that game in Green Bay. I remember wash your
mouth out, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So question, does this count as a statement victory for
Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions to sasha their way into Baltimore
and get the win? So yeah, I'll nod my head. Yes, Listen,
I reacted. The job is to read and react. That's
the job.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You read. It's like playing defense.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You read and react in basketball, whatever, and in certain
elements of football you read and react.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And so I'm not in my yes.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yes, Detroit was strutting into what is supposed to be
a hostile environment and they didn't blink. They did not
blink in this game. After the no show, which is
dope from outside Detroit who emailed me all worked up
into a ladder there. The Lions deserve to be ripped
for the way they played against green Bay, especially considering
(21:31):
how they played against Baltimore, like what do you?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And then they.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Destroyed the Chicago Bears as well the green Bay game.
We were on after the green Bay game, they deserved
a lashing. We gave them a lashing, and there were
some lingering questions about whether or not they were going
to be as good.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
They had changed the roster.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
A little bit. The coordinators were different. Those were legitimate questions.
This is the kind of a win for the Lions
on the road, on the road against a brand new
franchise like the Ravens that helps answer those doubts. It's
not just that they won the Lions, it's how they
won physical aggressive. Now they're always fearless on fourth down
(22:14):
and all that stuff. That'll come back to bite Dan
Campbell in the ass. But that's his DNA. That's in
the Dan Campbell DNA and all that stuff. And what
happened was soft dome team. I thought all these dome
teams is soft. Well, maybe the Ravens might as well
play an adult in the way they're playing right now.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It was the Ravens defense that was soft around the edges,
a very jello like in this particular performance here. And
so there you go. The Lions on the catwalk there
they flexed. They did a pirouette right there on the
catwalk for everyone to see, and they made their little
statement and they shook their tushy and they walked away.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Congratulations. There you go.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
They are legit, and so they proved it in this
particular game. Unless the Ravens turn out to be total frauds.
Then we visit this, but we do the show right now,
and so right now that is my position on the lines.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
What do you think? Eight seven seven ninety nine on.

(26:00):
But anyway, you're here now, and you you've been on
the road for a while, right I have.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, I delivered up in the Bay today. I was
coming back down from Washington. Uh, and I've been out
almost two months except for I had one day at
home and.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
What did you one day? That's nothing day.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
To to quarter change it.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, so you just changed clothes and got back on.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
The road all the kids real quick.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
And yeah, and you're gonna be on the road for
for a while.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Right, almost a Thanksgiving. But I'm thinking of flying home
from Seattle, trying to get to my son's hockey tournament
and then my daughter that plays college softball. They have fallball,
so back to back weekend. So I'm trying to get
like eight days at home and do those today at
least be part of the family.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
We're going to leave the truck though.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I have a couple of places in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Some people you know some people.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know some people, and if it disappeared, it wouldn't
be the worst thing.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Really got insurance. You I know some people. Yeah, it's
you know, it ends up in the ocean or something
like that. But if it's a good looking truck. And Louis.
Last time we saw Louis, he was shedding all over
the studio.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
He's good right now he hasn't he hasn't been shedding,
so we'll have to get it's so bad that he
had to move into a new studio.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yes, that's right. We we left the well you saw
the old one still there. It's just it's like a
museum or.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Something like that. That was an amazing thing. When I
parked and got out of the truck. He knew exactly
where to go.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
It's been almost three years.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And anyway, he's very Louis. Louis is for those that
can't see because we're on radio, they can't see, Loui
is a very energetic French bulldog.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Right is that an accurate statement?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah? On Louis, he's trying to walk for see.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
The problem is Louis, Uh, your dog here smells Moxie,
my dog.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's what I was thinking. It was giving you moxie. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because they hang out with my dog Moxie. And then
so there you go. It's all. It's all related here.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
And I know you don't want to talk about the giants,
and I don't blame you. I wouldn't want talk about the
giant either, because giants terrible and they suck and they're
the same old story.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
H hasn't changed a bunch in ten years.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, actually more, I think it's more than that now, right,
it's it's twenty twenty five, so it's been fifteen years, right.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Roughly, ufout fifteen years. Pile on. I want to pile
on movie man.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Man. I remember a time, I mean, the rams had
to change cities to be relevant. I remember, Oh, I
see that you're doing.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
What about is what you're doing? See what about it?
They didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
They just they had an owner that got given a
bunch of money to go to Saint Louis Georgia Frontierera
and that's it. Scrooge rights and says if Mahomes and
Kansas City can put up at least twenty five points
on the Baltimore defense, then their offense really is broken.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
So he says they couldn't even put twenty two twenty
five up on the Giants.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, Jason, that is a fair point, Jason says, King
Henry looking more subpar than Mallard in a pickup football
game at MacArthur Park. Well, no, you don't go to
MacArthur Park for pick up foot You go there to
get fentanyl.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
That's where you go to MacArthur Park for right. I
think that's where you go. It's a good same I
know a couple of places.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Actually, Oh really okay, interesting Late Night drug Testers is
a great start to the show. Also, thanks for the
butterfinger reference. I need to restock my Halloween candy since
I already ate the bags I bought last week.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Wow. Yeah, that's a lot of candy.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Well, I'm convinced, like I don't. I don't think kids
even trick or treat that much anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
It's dangerous. I always people are putting drugs in candy. No,
that's mostly urban legends. I've always hoped to find drugs
in my cats. Yeah, I know, it's made mostly urban legend.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It's just like we used to buy these giant bags
of candy every year, me and the wife, and then
we were the ones that ended up eating them all
because there were like ten kids that would come by
the house.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
So when I was young, and I'm sure when probably
the old check for razor blades.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I still break that out on my kids, just so
I can take candy.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, well you got a taste, you gonna be the taste.
You know exactly what I'm doing, Yeah, exactly. Is completely
understandable that you need to make sure and you pick
your favorites, of course. No, Almond joy right, there's nobody
you don't like Almond joy right now does anyone like
Almond Joy?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I like Almond and her name is Joyce.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Well that's probably why she likes it right there.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
And nobody really like really likes something. No, she at
least has an excuse.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
There's always that kid.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's like the last candy in there, and that's the
way it goes. Nature Boy writes in answering the call
the while he says, I enjoyed watching the lions run wild.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
They got spanked.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Tonight, we're hanging out our buddy, moving man Matt stopping
by on his way through southern California's heading to San Diego.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So he's he's got the mobile billboard. We took some photos,
but it's the.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Premise you're always here at night because we do the
short at night, and I don't get the great photos
because it's nighttime, so I can't get the wonderful photos.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
But that's that's true. Well, the last time the front
half of the mallet billboard was the old mallet bill Yeah,
so this is the first time that this one has
made it appean, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
This is the new You got rid of the old one, right,
you went, you work for somebody else, like privately, right.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
You know that I bought this one and sold that one.
It was kind of a flip mixed match Okay, I
have an idea.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
What if we parked the truck up on top of
the eighth story of the parking structure and took a picture.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Of it up there.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I don't think it would fit in the parking structure. Like,
I'm pretty sure it's yes, Lorraina. He drives all he's
based in the Boston area. He drives all over the country,
moving over.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Here like he's got a key of Ford.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
How many how many houses of stuff can you fit
in the in that truck?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
You probably multiple.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Houses, right, I mean thirty thousand pounds.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Thirty thousand pound truck. Can you imagine he tries to
go into the parking garage there? Good luck?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Am I get stuck?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Last last time I pulled a U turn on Supulva.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
What depends at what time it is, It depends how
busy it is.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, this time I came in the right way.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You want to leave here because there's some really shady
things that happen once we get done with the show,
So you want to get out of here before that.
Ferg Dog says, I don't know about the kids, but
I'm definitely going trick or treating this year.
Speaker 1 (32:03):

Finley's house, Go find where Finley is and knock yourself out.
We are at at Ben Mahller if you'd like to
be part. That's at Ben Maller we're talking about. We
started out talking about the Monday night game, a domination situation. Now,
during that game, we had Troy Aikman who was so
(32:30):
excited about Dan Campbell. Just before the Lions picked up
that first down on fourth and one, he screamed on
television on ABC.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
There he's got big onions. He's got big onions. Huh Yeah,
that's what he said.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Because he can't say ball, so he said big onions onions.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
So anyway, I thought that was amusing. Didn't Akman use?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Aikman used to complain, right, didn't he complain about going
forward on fourth down? That'll that cost the Lions? Remember
the game against the Niners in the NFC Championship game.
He didn't work out quite as well in that game,
got burned by that going.

doesn't work, not so much. Anyway.
