The Ravens have had penalty issues all season long and it's more than just the young guys. Ken Weinman and Femi Ayanbadejo discuss the frustrating mistakes from veteran players and the staff potentially using the mini-bye week to fix certain areas.

00:00You made a great point in the midst of that, and that is the penalty part of it.
00:03It doesn't matter who the opponent is to play clean football in that respect.
00:07The pre-snap stuff has to stop.
00:10These unforced, self-inflicted wounds, and we saw against Jacksonville, these were the vets doing that stuff.
00:18Like Matabike jumps offside on fourth and fourth.
00:21Ronnie Stanley, Mark Andrews.
00:23That stuff has to stop.
00:25And if people don't think that through observation, whether it is conscious or subconscious, when you're a young player and
00:33you see vets doing certain things, it's impossible for it not to affect you.
00:38Because it just kind of slides its way in to the ethos of what the team is doing.
00:44And I'm not saying it's permanent by any means.
00:46I think it can be rectified, and I hope this super mini bi-week, I know you got me saying
00:51your thing.
00:51Isn't it great?
00:52I can't help it now.
00:54I hope they took the time.
00:55And look, Jesse, Declan, Weave, I listened to them talk since last week, and I get the sense that self
01:02-scouting was good for them.
01:03But I need to see the fruits of that assessment, and I need to see it come out in changes
01:08in regard to how personnel is deployed and the rationing of said personnel.
01:14Who's getting what, when, and where?
01:18And hopefully it establishes a win in a way, like I said, that is sustainable.
