00:00Ravens Rams this is it was set up to be probably my favorite side of the day
00:06then the hook went away I'm a little on tilt I want to just talk through this
00:12with my good pal Joe Lee's last week you and I talked through Ravens Texans
00:16extensively and both agreed Houston was the side great call by you 44 10 Texans
00:25roll them up remember you weren't able to get you know Texans money line around
00:30minus 120 close around a two two and a half point favorite we check in this
00:35week it's now a touchdown pretty much anywhere you look again hooks are gone
00:39those seven and a halves were out there earlier this week the thing for the
00:43Ravens Joe is I know Lamar's not back they are much healthier this week Kyle
00:52Hamilton Ronnie Stanley Marlon Humphrey all expected to be in there for this one
00:58but maybe none of that matters because it's still Cooper Rush and because when
01:03those other guys were in there it wasn't going well what are you zeroing in on for
01:09a Ravens Rams breakdown right now well I think it should be a heavy dose of
01:13Derrick Henry that's a I mean you're talking about Cooper Rush 14 of 20 a buck
01:1779 three interceptions you can't have that type of effort this team is one of
01:22four they've lost three straight by an average margin of defeat of 19.6 points
01:26per game they go to one and five it's going to be very difficult with or without
01:31Lamar Jackson to make a second half run and we know that the schedule lines up
01:35but what is the mentality of this football game it's still the NFL you can't
01:39just walk out there and get W's even against garbage competition right so they
01:43have to get back to basis 2.3 yards per carry against a very good Houston front is
01:49not going to get it done today again this is a very good front San Francisco with
01:53Christian McCaffrey couldn't get the rushing attack going so I expect them to
01:58be dedicated to the run and then if Derrick Henry gets going then you could
02:03open up Cooper Rush they can't get into a shoot Matt Stafford's coming off what
02:07389 yard performance against San Francisco I mean come on now I mean they
02:13dominated through the air I mean they cannot afford to fall behind at home I
02:18part of me wants to take them plus the seven but I don't know if I should take
02:23Derrick Henry more that's the other I think maybe we're doing it I'm serious I
02:27think we're maybe doing it again where because here's the thing for the Ravens I
02:33do I want I've wanted to back them throughout the week because we're getting
02:36this big number at home boy do they need it right but you could argue the Rams
02:43needed just as much the Rams with a terrible terrible Thursday loss back
02:48Jones almost I mean dynamic performance right terrible loss extra rest right and
02:56again I say ah the Ravens are getting healthier in some areas defense has been
03:00bad healthy or not so I think I've been thinking it should be a big Derrick Henry
03:06game they gave him 15 calories last early early kick too and I know the other
03:10early kick was against the Eagles yeah but they still didn't cover that game
03:14I'm just saying now they're a favorite on the road I think for me it's one of
03:19those spots where I could sit there with Ravens it's you know plus seven and I
03:23think in my mind I'm the whole time thinking okay maybe Cooper Rush can
03:26backdoor it but that but that's my point are we better off just back in Henry I
03:30think so I think we're much better off I think I think Henry because listen
03:34they're not gonna cover this seven with Cooper Rush throwing 50 times I have to
03:39agree and Jared verse in that front seven are gonna batter him right yeah so so I
03:44think let me ask you this Derrick Henry we better off betting his rushing yards or
03:49rushing attempts like just trust that they feed him or listen if they're gonna feed
03:54him enough he's gonna break off a big one I think that like we go with yards
03:59because attempts is what in this game what are we 16 and a half I thought it
04:02would be a little lighter as a seven point dog now but they're not giving it
04:07to you no I think it's a 25 carry day you want to ult them you want to do the
04:12attempts and the yards but if you think look here here's the thing I know I think
04:17Harbaugh says like this we have no shot to win this game if we rely on Cooper
04:22Rush we have no shot I agree you know he's not Mac Jones we don't you know we
04:28our weapons now are becoming limited you know we're abatement's got a 26 and a
04:33half Zay Flowers 47 and a half what is that telling you right now is that
04:37potentially Cooper Rush is on on pace for 140 150 yard day you're not gonna you're
04:44not gonna cover that line with Cooper Rush throwing that yeah so the only way you
04:49could do it shorten the game keep Stafford on the sidelines and let's hope
04:53that Derrick Henry gives us 25 carries and a buck for if they're gonna lose this
04:57game they're not gonna lose it because of
05:00relying on Cooper Rush they're gonna lose it relying on their workhorse that they
05:04haven't utilized because their offense is completely inconsistent right now
