00:00did not practice on wednesday did not practice on thursday either and you wonder what's the game
00:06plan what do they change between lamar and tyler huntley it's interesting how you have to view
00:12you know who's available especially at a critical position like the quarterback position where you
00:15might shape things a little differently um you kind of have to go down this avenue of like okay
00:20if snoop's going this is kind of the way i want to call it this is the direction i want
00:24to go
00:24and yet if l's going um a lot of those things you know translate uh and yet there might be
00:30some
00:30things that he can do that are different it also impacts like you know if he's banged up i might
00:35not want to do certain things with him um versus you know um so that always that goes into it
00:40you
00:40know we went into the cowboys game plan not knowing exactly if zay was going to go um and so
00:45i went into
00:46that game plan with literally two different call sheets like completely separate sheets one with
00:50zay roland and one without him um which is a lot of work for the quality control coach who has
00:55to
00:55be able to go through and uh there's a lot of stuff behind the scenes that has to go on
00:59but
00:59um i think that's how you have to shape it you know guys that are are worth game planning around
01:03um you got to have kind of a plan for with him without him uh and sometimes that goes all
01:08the way up
01:08until sunday yeah i mean let's be honest the the route tree is a little bit different from lamar
01:15to tyler huntley am i right yeah i mean you're not you're not running all the same routes for
01:21both quarterbacks no because lamar can push that thing downfield yeah but i do want to say this
01:25because as we were pointing out and talking about tyler huntley not being able to push the ball down
01:28field chad pennington needed a cutoff for a 15-yard pass he did and he still was one of the
01:33more
01:34efficient quarterbacks that you had the high back then if you go look at completion percentage
01:39he had one of the higher completion percentages of all those guys and and i think the game's changed a
01:45little bit and how it's played so his completion percentage now may not look as great compared to
01:49some of the other guys but he was a guy that was very efficient while he was out there and
01:53and
01:53he had outstanding route runners too yeah i think huntley can do that and he had uh was it um
02:00queshawn johnson and wayne crevet yeah he had a there were a handful of lavernius cole yeah he was
02:05there yeah he had some great route runners yeah but take nothing away from him but but that's the odd
02:10thing i find out about this week where everybody's so sure that the third string quarterback that's
02:14never played in the league is a better option to go into this game and try to win it than
02:18a guy that
02:19won you two games last year that's done this before and i'm tired of arguing with people going
02:23well huntley was undrafted yeah but he has experience in the nfl see that's that my whole thing is i
02:28don't
02:29know who's the better quarterback fast forward three years from now maybe huntley's not the better
02:34quarterback but right now if he's the better option for me because he's been there before
02:39you know i mean the bright lights of sunday night football in the line i don't i don't want this
02:43rookie to go with that's his first start the guy last night uh what's the quarterback's name for
02:47the lanter uh jaylen daniels jaylen daniels people say look what he did in primetime wasn't his first
02:52game yeah wasn't his first game i i just i'm not saying the kid's not a good quarterback i'm not
02:57saying
02:58he down the road won't be better than huntley that's not my argument i just want the guy with the
03:03experience starting sunday night that's it that's my only argument i'm not saying looking to a crystal ball
03:08predicting who's better i love when people sit like when we're discussing it and they're telling
03:12you you're wrong huntley stinks and i'm like well how do you know what finiano is going to be how
03:16do
03:16you know that he's gonna because he had a great preseason you know how many guys that we've had
03:20have great preseasons and there are players that play their asses off and then all of a sudden get
03:24their opportunity and you're like oh he is pretty good but people are so sure that he's a better option
03:29right now i huntley's gonna take care of the ball more times than not um i don't know if that's
03:35what
03:35finiano's gonna do and you want his first start to be on a road on sunday night football in atlanta
03:39that's what i'm saying that part right there is what i don't want you're setting him up for failure
03:44yeah my argument is not who's better i don't know i don't know what i'm getting from finiano but i
03:50don't want to find out on sunday night either yep find that out down the road i i wanted the
03:55kid on
03:55the team badly if you recall at the time i wanted him to be the backup quarterback but he's not
04:00this is a
04:00team that usually carries two quarterbacks not three yeah that's the the stealers were carrying
04:05four it's like what the hell so because they like playing card you know game of spades oh you got
04:11two in the possible i got you
04:16no i have that many is that like when we play hearts what's that i think it's the white version
04:20of spades okay isn't it i never played it
04:26410-583-1057 johnny and dundalk what's up johnny my guys my guys happy friday happy friday to y'all
04:34happy friday you too same to you man rob jeremy man i i know the quarterback thing is a thing
04:41and it
04:41should be right but if the defense plays like the defense has been playing is it even going to matter
04:48it's not it's not to be honest with you because i don't think either one of those guys will put
04:52up
04:53enough points to beat atlanta if the defense doesn't step up it's got to start right at the
04:58defense i think you know what the weird thing is that the defense is johnny thanks man the defense
05:02has been better than you think but because there's not a lot of great defenses in the league and we're
05:07accustomed to seeing a team get more stops and not give up these third down conversions the way they
05:11have but like grading them out i think uh depending on which metric or which uh statistics you're
05:16looking at the ravens are somewhere around like 11th it's it's possible to go on the road and you
05:22see matt abike take another step forward um that you see them create some blitz schemes that can give
05:28michael pennix jr some issues uh but again i you don't feel great about it because what we've seen
05:34on third down a lot of times is them giving up big plays that are safe plays throwing the ball
05:39underneath and running to the sticks and you guys can't tackle manny in baltimore what's up manny
05:44hey good morning john how we doing good morning how are you i'm the other caller was right it's not
05:50going to matter who's quarterback that we can't stop the run because they're gonna they have a
05:56two-headed monster i mean we can't be lately we're not we're not we're not stopping the run we have
06:01to stack the box right and and let what's name be this or his arm stop the run and make
06:07them one
06:07dimensional because i mean even hopefully hopefully plays and we if we can't stop them to be the long
06:13life of the ravens thanks a lot man i agree with what they're both saying i'm not debating what
06:19they're both saying but that's why the quarterback does matter because if the defense isn't getting
06:24stops you don't want to turn the ball over and put the defense back on the field i want to
06:29go back and
06:30hear what we were talking about when lamar got hurt and huntley was starting the games last year
06:33because i think it sounds exactly the same as this year like oh my god he can't win a game
06:38with this
06:38oh the season's over all that jazz but he's i think he's serviceable i mean you went over the
06:44backups it's like whose backup is really good who has two good quarterbacks unless it's a team
06:49like if you look at like the raiders you got kurt cousins starting we don't know what mendoza is
06:53going to be but he was the number one overall pick right so they have high hopes for him um
06:57so if
06:57something happened to kurt cousins you don't think mendoza could come in and struggle like a lot of other
07:01top picks like a lot of the other uh corny white dudes that were drafted by the jets
