to do it, and it comes to coaches and players. I mean,
we've got to come up with calls. We've got a coach, our
guys better, and those situations, you know,
be in the right spot. Play the right leverage,
you know, block the play, the correct way. Whatever it might
be, those are things. We've got to do a better job of and
players got to take responsibility as well. It's
just us, and I
told him it's us,
it's us together. All of us together,
it's six games into the season.
You know, we're in good position, big picture wise.
Let's get to, where we can be and where we need to be where
I think we all can see. We should be, it's our responsibility to
do it. Don't we got to go get the job done.
You look 11 games, laughs. They are not finished. Although
Marlon Humphrey
Insanity doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results. Oh,
not. There was an issue with Marcus Peters and John
Harbaugh. Now, Marlon, I'm friend. John Harbaugh are going
to have to have a little conversation today, but well,
I mean it's if he's talking about the fact that they keep
blowing late leads, then I mean, what are you? What do you
expect? Back when you're doing the same thing and you expect
a different result, you can't keep having lapses late in
the game
and then, you know, expect that you're going to win when you're
in the National Football League, those guys get paid to
as we always talk about. So I mean I don't know exactly what
the context is surrounding that but if that's what he means by
that then
I think he's right. I don't know that he really needs to
have a conversation with horrible about that Harbaugh
would probably agree.
Hopefully, he doesn't try the, I'm talking about something
else entirely and it has nothing. NG to do right with
our performance yesterday.
But you have to wonder what the guys in the locker room are
thinking. Especially after they go against the team where Wink
Martindale now is employed and they're asking themselves. Why
couldn't horrible work it out and keep this guy around
because Mike McDonald
isn't helping them be in the position to slam the door
when they have leads of 21 or 17 or 10 in the fourth quarter
and could be
6 and 0 or at least 5 in 1 or 4 and 2, but but the good news is
there in every game. They've shown they know how to build
the lead. They just don't know how to hold the lead and
the holding a lead is
equally as important. If not more important than
the building of the lead, we'll see if they can continue going
forward. There are in the thick of things
in the AFC, the opportunity is there for them. The AFC North
has no clear run away. Team right now,
three and three, get your first Place
the Steelers very much alive. We'll talk about them coming
up. They play the Dolphins next Sunday night. They got their
second win of the Season which no one expected and that's
a team. You don't give up on ever no matter how bad it looks like
they are
they can find a way
like they did yesterday
to surprise you. Let's pivot to a team in the AFC. Okay. Well
one more thing about the ribbons no one more thing about
that because the it you know talking about defensively how
you don't hold the lead off offensively that they bear some
responsibility.
For that too. Because look well Marge accent through
a catastrophic interception, right? Right. Coming off
a play, which was basically a dead play. You can't. He has to
know better at this point in his career.
What you need to do to live to see another day you can't just
try to like throw across your body when you're
not in position to make a good throw, this is what we're
talking about right here. He's throwing across his body back
into the middle of the field. To a guy who was very well
covered that leads, To the go-ahead touchdown the offense
Bears some responsibility here
because when you do that kind of thing, then that's what
really helps set you up to lose. So I mean and then Lamar
Jackson has the fumble on the next drive. So those are two
critical plays by Lamar Jackson that were
not made that then lead to the Ravens losing. It's not just
the defense, especially in this game that play from Lamar
Jackson remind me of the fourth down. Play against
Buffalo. We're just the extra Fusion, is questionable
the rollout to the right running away from pressure, and just
throwing it.
And right? And I don't know whether guys get seduced by
the Patrick Mahomes, uncanny ability, went on the run to
throw it to a guy who actually is open. And they just think if
I just happened to get rid of the ball, it's going to
end up in the hands of somebody was open. We saw exact Wilson.
Try to play that game. A little bit yesterday where he did
the flick back as he was going out of bounds and it almost got
picked off.
There's only one Patrick Mahomes, we're reminded of that
when guys try to do them a holmesian thing where they're
running Runway throwing back the other and it all looks good
until you realize that it lands in the hands of a guy wearing
the wrong color jersey. And that's what happened at Lamar
Jackson yesterday. And, you know, I mentioned that earlier,
it's not all about the defense, the offense Bears. Some blame
to in putting the defense in a spot where it's got to defend
that short field
and hold off, the opponent and ultimately
failed to do. So.
