00:00I'm a little concerned.
00:00I am.
00:01I think a lot of the running game, the defense not being as successful in the running game,
00:06some of it is him.
00:08It is.
00:08He's not playing downhill, challenging running backs, getting up in the hole
00:12and making explosive plays happen like we're used to Roquan.
00:16Remember his first big play in Baltimore, third and one?
00:20He was up in the line of scrimmage making things happen.
00:23You don't see him doing that in short yardage now.
00:25See, it's funny because I saw it on the run now and we were going to talk about it.
00:29And initially when I see it, that's when I think you have something that you want to bring up about
00:34it.
00:34No, because it wasn't like something that was on my mind.
00:37I feel like it was something that was on yours.
00:39And now it makes me want to go back and just watch him to see if there is something I'm
00:43missing.
00:43But there's nothing that really stood out for me to go, yeah, I'm concerned about him.
00:49See, to me, there's off-the-ball linebackers, as they call them now, and then there's Roquan level.
00:56The Roquan level that we got used to is not what I'm seeing right now.
01:00The game changer, the difference maker, he's not playing at that level in my opinion.
01:05He's not a guy that you want to avoid right now.
01:08That's who he was when we first got him.
01:10Now true age kind of gets the best of you.
01:12He's not a guy that can be changed.
01:13So far what does it mean?
01:14He would not even have a handball that we're doing.
01:14He's not a guy or R shakes in.
01:18He might not have a job, though.
01:18He's not a guy.
