00:00But the idea that he needs to save the season.
00:03Look, the offensive numbers are what they are.
00:06They score a ton of touchdowns and gain a lot of first downs.
00:10When he plays, when he doesn't, they don't.
00:13And we talked about it at the end of yesterday's show.
00:16Three of their last four games.
00:18And the first game is when Lamar got hurt against the Titans.

00:27No field goal, no safety, nothing.
00:30In three of the last four games.
00:31So Lamar saves the season in a lot of ways.
00:35Especially because he's really good.

00:52His quarterback rating is like 115.
00:55So he's playing well.

01:04Yeah.
01:04Who's a solid backup.
01:05But they're backups for a reason.
01:08Lamar Jackson's a premier, elite, MVP-proven quarterback.
01:13And if he's not there, you're going to suffer unless you have a 2,000 Ravens defense.
01:19And if he's not there, you're going to have a 2,000 Ravens defense.
01:20And if he's not there, you're going to have a 2,000 Ravens defense.
