00:00As we all, a month into the season, what have we learned about the Baltimore Ravens?
00:03You know, I'm going to go to the coaching and just say there's one thing I really like,
00:07because they'll probably answer this question about 10 different ways.
00:09But Jesse Minter had one of the worst managed games in recent Ravens history,
00:14maybe all of Ravens history, in week two against the Saints.
00:17Just horrible decisions in terms of play calling, kicking too long,
00:21not going for it on fourth and one, all that.
00:23He hasn't made any mistakes, as we've looked at it the last two weeks.
00:26He's gone for three fourth and ones.
00:28He made only one of them, but Henry made only one of them.
00:30But still, they were the right decisions each time.
00:33And the other team has made some mistakes in each game to help in each loss.
00:38In fact, the big one for Tennessee this week was they didn't go on fourth and three
00:41from their own 22-yard line.
00:42Huge mistake late in the game to not do that down two scores.
00:46And I think that's been something really positive.
00:48The other thing, if you ever get to the water cooler and people tell you,
00:51you know, Minter just doesn't adjust, because that's something I hear from a lot of people,
00:55is they'll accuse a coach of not being able to adjust.
00:57The first five plays of that football game, they rushed five in the game.
01:02They rushed six one more time early in the second quarter.
01:05Every single pass rush thereafter was a four-man pass rush exactly.
01:10And they were extraordinarily successful with it in terms of getting a lot of pressure,
01:14getting Ward off the spot.
01:16They didn't get Ward down, but they got him off the spot.
01:18And that's Minter adjusting very well in-game to what's working out.
01:22I'm from one now.
01:22Old next two.
01:22I'm from another.
