00:00Couldn't agree more. Not to mention is that you also did mention some play

00:03calling. Shafu's there. Hopefully that's something they can get under control as

00:07well. Cook closes out the night with 39 rushing yards through nine carries. And

00:10sometimes we like to look at him for those rush combined with receiving

00:13yards. Only nine receiving yards as well. So it didn't really look like they got

00:17James Cook going in that Swiss Army Knife role that he has a tendency to be

00:22efficient at. So maybe that's something that they will translate over

00:25into the next game coming up here. Josh Allen followed up Cook with 21 rushing

00:29yards himself. Four or five carries. As you mentioned, you got to protect this

00:32guy as long as he is trying to bang through some injuries. 180 passing

00:36yards. Zero tighties and a clean slate when it comes to interception. So at

00:39least he has that going for him. Shakir with a big chunk play for the Bills but

00:43closed out the night. 62 receiving yards through four receptions. Coleman, we saw

00:48some attitude but we saw some passion out of him on the sidelines. He was

00:52frustrated in that first half. 51 receiving yards, three receptions. So as

00:55you said, some key things. What were some of your favorite things that you saw out

00:58of the Ravens tonight? Was it that 87 yard tighty or was it something else?

01:04I mean, they keep things super simple. Like when the game plan is and the game

01:08script is going in their favor, it's just a lot of runs from Derrick Henry

01:11and a lot of runs from Lamar. I will say from a betting perspective, if things

01:17are going great, like you're probably just going to crush all your Derrick

01:20Henry bets on attempts, on yards, on this, that, the other thing. When things

01:23are going great, that also means that we're going to find a really, really

01:27tough time finding any level of consistency in their passing game.

01:30Justice Hill was their leading receiver with six receptions coming out of the

01:34backfield. Likely with one. Bateman with one. Henry with three. Zay Flowers with

01:39one catch for 10 yards. Like there's no level of consistency from their

01:44receiving court because they're so far ahead. They just run the ball like 80%

01:48of the time. So it's great if you're on Lamar rushing props or Henry rushing

01:52props or whatever it might be. If you have the Ravens on the spread, like

01:56that's awesome. But the receiving is a massive, massive issue from a betting

02:00perspective, not from like an actual team perspective.
