 The do's and don'ts for the Baltimore Ravens against the Cleveland Browns this Saturday. First question came from my guy Jason and appreciates you being a team keeping clean patron. He said, and Graven, I just want to shoot off some thoughts regarding Saturday in no particular order. Things I do not want to see. Number one, Chuck Clark anywhere one on one against David Najoku. It does not work. It never will work. Number two, Marcus Williams as Marcus Peters, safety help under any and all circumstances. Rangers and Clark have poor communication and cover anything. Huh. Now, for that second one, do you mean you actually want Marcus Williams as Marcus Peters safety help? Because I think that would make more sense. But anyway, number three, Kyle Hamilton in the box more. I thought that he's actually been doing well there. I mean, he's been playing better everywhere that he's been. He's sort of been in that sort of nickel corner role in the slot a little bit going up against some tight ends and overall he's doing a much better job, especially my favorite thing about Kyle Hamilton that I've been loving. That has been just a complete turnaround has been his tackling in open space. It has been so beautiful to watch. Anyway, number four, Mike McDonald in zone on second or third. I'm not greatly in love with McDonald's zone schemes. Okay, so that sound like something that he does not want to see. Number five, Marlon Humphrey concentrated on one wide receiver. Keep him flexible between Cooper and people's Jones in man situations. Okay, now it all depends on how they play him because you know, sometimes Marlon Humphrey be playing outside. Sometimes he'll be playing on the inside. It just depends on where they line them up. So he got to be flexible regardless, but we'll see. He said, and finally, the one who shall remain nameless, getting comfortable running. He hasn't fully found his passing stride. Let's not allow him to run and compensate for that. So that is, he's talking about Brown's quarterback who's just made his return to the NFL for these past couple of games. The Sean Watson now you know what to get a deeper diving to get even more info and analysis on this upcoming game against the Browns so we can hear some do's and don'ts from somebody from this side. I brought on a very, very special guest to help us break things down. Team keeping clean, we just talked about some of the do's and don'ts that we want to see from the Baltimore Ravens in this game against the Cleveland Browns. So to get that same point of view, but from the Cleveland Browns perspective, I had to bring on a very, very special guest, my guy, Quincy Carrier, appreciate you joining us. How are you? Always, always good to be on. I'm doing as well as I can watching this five and eight football team. You know what I mean? What has been the issue with the Browns this year? What's been going on? Well, defense has been a problem. The run game defense was a particularly problem like within like when they played Miami and Buffalo and I'm worried about it this week, right? Because Baltimore are going to have a giant incentive to run the ball this week. So that's been an issue. Injuries, I mean, with J. OK, just went out for the year. We lost Jacob Phillips out for the year. We lost Taki Taki out for the year. We lost Anthony Walker out for the year. I mean, that's pretty much our whole starting rotation of linebackers. Now we down to Jordan Kuzniak, who I'm pretty sure many people watching right now have never heard of because I didn't hear of him before the Browns had him on his practice squad and blast from the past. Reggie Raglan. Yeah, yeah. Alabama 2016, Reggie Raglan. We got Reggie Raglan and he's going to be on the field, folks. Like he's going to get minutes this week because we don't have any other option. Everybody else is hurt. So that's been a problem. But every Browns fan will tell you that Joe Woods probably got to go at this point. If there's anything to a G road, Cleveland, it's him, right? Like everybody thinks he should be gone. They think he's holding back the defense. That coverage bust all year. So the defense hasn't been great offensively. I mean, it was good for like the first six to eight weeks in the season. But these last few weeks since week eight, week nine and the offense has been pretty bad, too. So, you know, just haven't been playing great football, quite frankly, all year. And when you don't play good football, you have a terrible record. Well, yeah. Now, you got somebody. So it's kind of a big deal. You got him back. Well, not even back, because this is his first time playing with the Browns this season over these past couple of weeks. How has the Sean Watson been in his is really his debut? Yeah, you know, it's been interesting to hear a lot of people talk about it, right? Because I said it on my film breakdown. He has the perfect recipe of a person to have opinions go crazy about his play one way or the other, right? A lot of hype, a lot of time, a lot of expectation. People are going to overreact almost anything he does on the football field. And the reality has been that even that first game, as much as as much noise as people made about it being terrible, I don't think the film said it was a terrible game. It just felt like he was unsure about some things in the offense, but he didn't look rusty from a physical standpoint. And that showed last week where he looked more like himself, more confident in the offense. And I think this is really a player. You know, we talked about him being rusty in the 700 day layoff so much that we forgot that this is also somebody in a new offense. And he looks like a quarterback in a new offense. You know, he's progressing just as you would like. Like if this were week two, we feel good about week three. But, you know, it just so late in the year that it's hard to put yourself in that mindset. But he's been progressing nicely. It seems like every week he gets a lot closer to being himself. And I think this week he'll probably be, I mean, he'll be pretty close to his old self. You know, I feel like he's about 75% after the Bengals game. And he took a huge jump. I feel like after that Texans game, it seems like every game where he gets that information, right, the date of just being out there, what teams are going to do. He didn't make a bunch of adjustments. And if you look at his career, right, his rookie year, when he was adjusting to the NFL, he had three games that were kind of like, OK, you know, slow start kind of a deal. And then he explodes in his four for five touchdowns. So this is somebody who has demonstrated, like, OK, he can adjust rapidly. And then once he adjusts, he's ready to go off. How long would that take? Would it take another game? I'm not sure what happened this week. I think there's a chance, right? First home game, Ravens have been a good run defense team, especially good pass rush. But like sometimes where you can get them is in their secondary because they've just had up and down play from like the Marcus Peters of the world and everything else. So there's a possibility there. Like, you know, you leave Marty Cooper one on one with Pete. Like, you know, it gotta be great or bad for Ravens. You know what I mean? So we'll see what happens this weekend this weekend. But yeah, I feel pretty good about the progress he's making after last week's game, especially that's why I was like, OK, there's like, there was a thought in the back of your head. Maybe he never gets back to who he was. And I'm like, oh, he's definitely getting back to who he was because everything's there. He just he's just learning a new offense. Well, hopefully it does take another game. Because yeah, we don't want to see him get back to form against Ravens, but somebody who normally gives the Ravens a headache, gives him a tough time, really gives the whole NFL a tough time is Nick Chubb. How has he been this season? You know, he started the season off looking as best as he's ever been. And then this last like half of the season, he's looked as worse, as bad as he's ever looked. You know, he's had multiple games under three yards per carry. Part of it's on the offensive line. Part of it is I think the teams have really did a good job adjusting to his run style, right, which is stretch increase. He's going to stretch increase you. And I think teams are getting better at playing that the more that they play against him. And it's time for somebody to take some of that pressure off of him in offense because let's be real, like the pressure been on Nick Chubb's like twenty eighteen. Like that's a long time for the offense to kind of be built around you. So he is having a hard time with that, right, where we're not letting him get those crease lanes, where they're playing the back end and they're not really giving up and chasing after him like a traditional running back. He's having a hard time adjusting because I don't think he sees the field well, really, when he's not going against the grain. So he's been up and down. I don't expect that to change this week because Calais Campbell, I mean, at Raven's front, does a really good job against the run. They're well equipped to do that. I think this week, you know, and this might be good news for Raven fans or bad news. It might turn out to be bad news as we kind of alluded to earlier. But this is going to be a hey, Sean, you want to get back there and throw the ball a lot to win this game. And, you know, we'll see if he's ready for that. But if he is great, if he's not, then, you know, this might not go to Brown's direction. And now flipping to the other side of the ball. I know you talked about how the defense has had his struggles. Sometimes, despite one side of the ball having struggles, they can be players that still shine through that darkness. Has Miles Garrett been shining through the darkness or has he been part of that gloomy club? Oh, my goodness, he's been shining through the darkness. Yeah, Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett has been incredible this year. I mean, like he's been playing at a defensive player at the year caliber level, just his he's been hurt since the car accident. Oh, yeah. And he's so good. Like, you know, the stuff that he does is just ridiculous. He has that Euro step that he can do. He had two sacks last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. And I wonder if it was on Jamar Chase, because Jamar had no idea what he was doing with the ball. But, you know, he had two sacks, a ton of pressures. Yeah, Miles Garrett is still Miles Garrett. Now, Ronnie Stanley is back, right? Like, that's the one thing about it, right? Ronnie Stanley, one of the tackles, even though the Ravens, I always give the Ravens credit because they don't play games with Miles Garrett. And they've never really been interested in figuring out like every team in the AFC North has had a moment where they're like, let's see if Miles is really good. Let's see if the hype is true about him. Jim, John Harbaugh has never been interested in testing the hype. He's just been like, nah, we're not even going to find out, dawg. We go for three over here and we go chip with a line of running back and we just go live with that. So it's going to be tough slated, especially when Ronnie Stanley's there. Maybe they can just live with a double in a chip instead of like the guard sliding over like they usually do. So we'll see what happens with Miles. But yeah, Miles has been great. Miles has been probably one of the best defensive players of football. And look, this defense has had good players on it. Martin Emerson has played well. Didn't tell Worx how to down here, for sure. I think he's been injured all year because he broke it. Well, it's not public public, but he did break his foot. So that's kind of an exclusive here here in the offseason. He broke his foot and I don't think he had surgery. And then, you know, Greg Newsom has been fine, too. So there's good players on this defense. The issue has been the interior defense tackle wise. They've been getting better players the last few weeks. Paragon Winfrey has been stepping up, getting some playing time. The problem with him has been off the field when it comes to like, you know, just grown adult adjustment stuff. You know, nothing, nothing terrible, but he's just nothing. He's been out. He's been outside too much, as the kids say. And he really enjoyed Florida, too. He got caught up in that Miami, man. That game where there was like, yeah, Paragon was late to the bus because he was out and I was like, what game? I was like, where are we playing this week? Miami. It got to get you that first year in the league. You got to be careful. Because I knew the next week when they played in Detroit, he would be OK. You know what I mean? He ended up being OK with that Miami trip. Your first one in the league and is at Miami at a decent time. It's been cold and Cleveland. I knew you would get caught up in that. But, you know, that's just rookie stuff. It's unfortunate, but some rookies have to learn a little bit more hardheaded. They got to learn the hard way. You know, it seems like he's learned just less even playing well. Taven Bryant has been fine. So the issues on defense have been a lot cleaner. The defense has been better, but it's still not a good defense. You know what I mean? And I think that's the problem. OK, so to end things, what are three things that the Browns need to do or take advantage of in order to get a win over the Ravens this week? Deshaun got to cook. That's what it's going to come down to, right? Like, Deshaun's got to cook. He we're going to need probably 200 plus from him. We're going to need probably a couple passing touchdowns from him because this is not going to be a game where it's going to be easy to get on the ground. Defensively, I would say my biggest key for the Browns defense is do not let the Ravens consistently get four to five yards on first now running the ball. If you do that, you're done, right? Like, because they'll just J.K. Dobbins, you it gusts the bus you until you can't do nothing else. So you have to be vigilant of that. No five yard chunks early in downs. You can't let them get to easy second and three. You have to make Tyler Huntley's life as difficult as possible so you can force him to make some mistakes. And what else would I throw in there? I mean, do you don't want this to come down to special teams because the Ravens are going to be better as special teams? I think you simply because Justin Tucker exists in a Raven uniform. So you want to be careful with that. But I would say really is it's the shine watching. Play some solid defense. But the shine is going to have to get you over the hump this week. So it's going to be interesting. Is the shine ready? Is he ready to be, you know, close to himself of old and be in this position? We'll see on Saturday. But that's going to be the key because I don't think they win this game without a strong effort from four. OK, and I mean, hopefully they get a weak effort from him. But we'll see how this thing goes. And you never know, well, between the Ravens. I get like four hundred. You know, I mean, come back game on the rain. No, thanks. You don't want that. It is. I don't say it's for the next week. Yeah, you know, what would it be tied for first place with the Bengals at that point? Or would it be the Bengals in first place? No. The Bengals are what are Bengals nine and four to? They are eight and four, I believe. Eight and four is like that. I know they're like right right on Raven's tail. They like right. The only thing saving the Ravens right now is the division record because they have a bad division record. They don't get any tie breakers. Yeah, Ravens are three, you know, in the division right now. So man, I know that Bengals are right there right behind the Ravens super, super close. So Ravens cannot slip up like at all. Because Bengals, like I was hoping the chiefs were going to beat them. No, to like keep them away a little bit. I know the Browns done had Joe Burroughs number. I was hoping they were going to be there, but no, they so Bengals. They right there, man. So it would be a tragic thing if the Browns end up winning. It would be a truly tragic thing. It would be. It would it would set Ravens fan base, Ravens Twitter all on fire. So hopefully we don't have to experience that, but we'll see. We'll see. We is a strong term, you know what I mean? But you know, I bet you're using the Royal Wii for the Ravens fan base because we on this screen feel differently about what we hope to see on Saturday. But I understand we are coming from. But yeah, it's going to be interesting, right? Because if the shots have a breakout, this seems like where it could be. We'll see. We'll see. You know, it could be, you know, this pressure all game and he can't get losing it, maybe those like two interceptions in your way. So either way, I'm going to be surprised at any result of this game. Yeah, so we'll see how it goes. But anyway, before we get out of here, let everybody know, even though they'll be down below in the description, let everybody know where they can find you at YouTube dot com slash Quincy Carrier or at Quincy Carrier on YouTube.
