 Ravens vs. Bills this game is going to be something and it's gonna be nationally televised So I ain't even got to find a live stream to watch it. But anyway. Oh, I have been struggling with Trying to decide Who I really think is gonna win this game because I feel like it could I mean any given Sunday It could obviously go back and forth but with this one I just I feel like it could definitely go either way on Bills The team is banged up they facing several different injuries on both sides of the ball The Ravens the defense is a huge concern. It's a big worry the past rush Justin Houston He may not even play So we'll see how that goes But I just so I don't know man. I don't know but I do know That both offenses are gonna try to take full advantage as they should because hey Ain't nobody gonna have pity on you in the NFL. Oh, you know what they're banged up So let's take it a little bit easy. No, nobody's doing that So to talk Bills to talk Ravens to talk Buffalo vs. Baltimore. I Had to bring on a very very special guest. He was the first person that I hit up as soon as we were done With the Patriots, let's get into it Team keeping clean For this game that we got coming up against the Buffalo Bills as soon as we were done talking Patriots I could only hit up one person I had to hit up my guy Rico to bring them on because I knew that he will bring it And I know he may ruffle some feathers a little bit, but hey, that's all good. That's part of So Rico first and foremost, I appreciate you coming on But let everybody know where they can find you at Twitter YouTube all that good stuff and exactly what it is that you do Was good everybody Ravens fans was happening It's your boy Rico back at it again to serve you that Buffalo Stampede You guys already know what it was last year. We're gonna make you taste it again this year But anyway, you guys can catch me on Twitter Rico underscore BF underscore and Everything Buffalo fanatics if you want to hit me on my YouTube channel. It's the Rico report always serving cold dishes We just got served a cold dish last week We got a rebound and bounce back against the Ravens, but I know y'all hungry. So it's gonna be a good tough You already know. Yeah, we both got served cold dishes by the dolphins two weeks in a row And and nail biting games, too But it's all part of the process man, so jumping straight into a Josh Allen The talk of this whole offseason has been just how the Buffalo Bills have been building their roster and We talked on your show the other day and you asked me a really really good question and I was like I was kind of like puzzled a little bit like how to answer it. You asked me what what weaknesses Do I see on this Buffalo Bills roster? Now I gotta ask you that same question, but health health aside Minus injuries. Hmm. What could the Ravens do to possibly exploit the Buffalo Bills? Right now injuries aside. Let's just say everybody's healthy. Where where could you guys exploit us? You're gonna have to you get it's it's our young receiver. It's our young cornerbacks. Oh You're Elon We got Trey white. That's obviously out nursing injury back shortly in the next two to three weeks Give or take we hope and then we've got Christian Bentford another corner now Dane Jackson has been manning the spot. He's the third year corner So we've got some young guys at the on the on the edges So if you're gonna exploit us anywhere, it's got to be there You got to force us force us to bring our safety is up for help And then maybe you can get us get us over the edge But at the end of day if you're going to attack us somewhere you got to attack us on the outside against our Corners because they're young they're inexperienced So you've got to have an experienced offensive coordinator That can come in and exploit us and find a way and we're very well familiar with G. Roe So you don't have to dig into that bag and try to figure some things out And try to close some way so find a way Happen baby. Hi, you're Elon Christian Bedford Dane Jackson. Those are the ways that you got it You got to get us now. I'm speaking of the second day the bills. They just signed Xavier roads Yes, they did. So how do you expect him to play in this game? And if so, how much? Xavier roads, you're not you might not see much of him this coming this coming game It's gonna be you're gonna see a lot of a lot of the young corner You're gonna see Kai here. You're gonna see Lewis. That's gonna be getting in there the UB product But if roads gets in it's because he's familiar with Leslie Frasier system back in Minnesota So we'll have some familiarity in that regard. So chances are he may he may pull a cold beast You might bring him on to the practice squad and immediately elevate him to the corner spot as depth But I can't see a lot of Xavier roads playing but he's the protocols size that we want I'm surprised we didn't go after Joe Hayden because Joe. He's got a lot of buddies on the squad Jordan poor you used to be used to play with Joe and poor you back in Cleveland He's friends with Vaughn Miller very good friends with Vaughn Miller So I'm thinking okay, he's got enough influence that they can bring Joe Hayden in Joe Hayden is retired But he just retired so he's ready to out of it But Xavier roads is that prototypical lengthy what 6 6 1 corner and understands Let's see Frasier's defense So if we're gonna grab somebody want some of that we can actually plug and play if an injury happens They jacked and could be coming back So he'll be just an emergency piece, but I can't see him jumping into the active role. Hmm. Okay All right, and yeah, that's a really good point about Leslie Frasier now We know about Josh Allen, of course, we know about Stefan digs and we're familiar with Gabe Davis But who would you say? Both on offense and defense are players that a lot of Ravens fans may not be too familiar with That could have a big impact on the game Hmm a lot of people the people that you guys would not know about on this bill squad I'm gonna tell you right now man. If they Is a McKenzie's making some noise. Okay, maybe people might not be paying attention to the slot Is a McKenzie and Jameson Crowder, right? You already know what gave Davis gave Davis is is coming on But his name is already ringing bells around the league step on days you guys already know about step on day Nasa Knox you hear it about him But I say McKenzie is the one name that is gonna start to kind of ring bells in this league He had a nice game against the Dolphins last last week He had a monster game against the Patriots last year when Gabe Davis and Cole Beasley were out Isaac McKenzie just went off So I say McKenzie in the slot could be someone that you guys want to pay attention to defensively Defensively, it's I mean there's Greg Russo Young name but Greg Russo is absolutely Absolutely playing out of his mind right now. So I know a lot of attention is gonna go to Vaughan Miller Greg Russo is someone that is pushing the edge and he's soaking all the knowledge up from Vaughan Miller I mean you when you bring in a Vaughan Miller type of player, right? Future Hall of Famer Accolades League. Mm-hmm. You don't just bring him in for his talents You bring him in for his mind, right? So you want him to share that those nuggets with the young bucks that we have like the Carlos bashings the at Oliver's the Greg Russo's so when you see that line, it's not a Vaughan Miller line Oh, if you stop Vaughan Miller, you stop none. No, no, no, no, no, he's soaking up They're soaking up all the knowledge from Vaughan Miller So Greg Russo on the one side is who you want to pay attention to and on the off the side aside from you mean the big Dogs, we have Isaac McKenzie's when you want to pay attention to okay I appreciate that and and man you are speaking about all those names and like why of course We're all familiar with Vaughan Miller And we know what he can do but then you start listed that names and names even after Greg Russo So it's like yeah at Oliver 2a y'all y'all got a I got a little squad of past rushes there now What was that? We had no choice. We had to Fortify that line because when you have guys like Lamar Jackson coming to you you guys like you know say these these Top tier quarterbacks Discipline is one thing but stopping the run is another and you boys you boys rock. That's what y'all do That's your strength right make us fear the run and then Andrews Exploits us in in the middle of the field. So we we got to stay disciplined. That's how it's got to be Yeah, and what was funny about this year is that the Ravens run game has actually been their weakness Because they just have not been able to run the ball thus far Just got JK Dobbins back last week and he looked good But they still couldn't pop off like that like crazy Justice Hill He looked better and he was a nice contributor and I expect him to be a focal point this week him and JK because Right now It's expected to rain on Sunday So that could completely change how both teams game plan for this game But how has the bills running game looked this year? Well, I'm so glad you brought that up because that is my that's my biggest gripe with the bills and That gripe has been Itching at me since Lashaw McCoy left because we haven't had that guy You mean to to run the rock and now I'm calling the old school where I need my running back with 15 to 20 carries I don't need the running back by committee and this is an interest And this is why this is so interesting that you bring this up because right now We have a running back by committee that I absolutely detest. We've got Devon Singletary that bills fans team RB one I personally believe that he's a very good back, but he's an RB one on the bills You brings Devon Singletary anywhere else. It's a challenge. It's definitely a challenge We're gonna see if he is then you've got Zach Moss the Utah native Florida native excuse me. What's a Utah Good back solid back is just that he hasn't turned into what we thought he would be right that bruiser back Good speed, but just hasn't panned out. He has not been able to supplant Devon Singletary and then you add in James Cook the Georgia stay the Georgia running back James Cook speed great receiver out of the Backfield, but you got three backs and my saying is when you got three running backs, you got no running backs So I don't I'm not liking it I prefer to go by two back system get your guys touches and then your backup gets the backup touches But having three running backs go we can't get into a rhythm and furthermore when you have your quarter back You know this very well leading in rushing Leading and passing you've got all the weight on your quarterback It shouldn't go that way take the weight off your quarterback and give it to your RBS But you give the RB an opportunity to get warm and get going instead of just spreading the spreading the love all over the place You can't get into a rhythm. It's like a rhythm shooter man. You can't just spot me in and expect me to knock it down I need to get warm. I need to get going right these guys got no rhythm So I'm in a state of frustration with my running backs, but we're in the middle of the pack We're in the middle of the pack in the year. We're close to you guys, but like again Your quarterback is leading team rushing. So was mine. We can't have Hey, I feel you all the way on that one man Now with Stefan Diggs, we know Stefan Diggs one of the best wide receivers in the league I know a lot of Ravens fans whenever they see Stefan Diggs They think about what could have been the possibilities of the Ravens would have got Stefan Diggs back then But it obviously didn't happen and he he went to Minnesota. He thrives and then went to the Buffalo Bills He's continued to thrive With all the attention that we would expect Stefan Diggs to get How do you feel that he's gonna do in this game? If our digs is going to right now, he's coming off a decent He's coming off of a decent game against the Miami Dolphins. He's got Xavier and Howard that was was a lock them up and apparently of according to folks He got locked up well 74 yards seven seven seven got a lock up to me now He's going to give me Miami fans. They they all over the place. So He's going to Baltimore He's from Maryland, so he's going to be able to do what he's supposed to do and that is run a muck now Here's the deal you guys have a very good defensive backfield Michael I'm not gonna hopefully I like my love for you a lot And I like him on I like his Twitter antics even more. I think it's hilarious now My guy Marcus Peters. That's the one. That's the X factor for me Marcus Peters Obviously Williams your safety is nice. I get it But Marcus Peters is the one that I'm gonna be paying attention to a lot because he's coming off He's coming off of big-time injury. He's coming and he's got to go against Diggs He just came off of a tough matchup last week. Now. You got digs. That's a motivated digs fan It's gonna be a tough day for Marcus Peters and Josh Allen is a he is a petty individual Is he didn't have the year he was supposed to have last year? He's gonna try his very best to pour it on you guys and I feel for you guys But defensive you guys are gonna have to do something about Stefan days because he's gonna go off It's not gonna be as hot. It was as it was in Miami. So are you ready? Recharge mr. Diggs and he's got to show up me He's got at least 50 people that's gonna be showing up from family plans and so on and so forth So he can't come out there and pull up a dud. He can't so he has to go off So I feel bad. I feel bad for y'all Hmm and that's why it's gonna be extra important that the Ravens they they pay attention Because that's been somewhere where they've been lacking Against these receivers like the Vonte Parker the Vonte Parker. He went off for over 150 yards last week Of course, everybody knows about Terry killing Jaylen water who would they be it? But it's important that the the Ravens recognize like who's who and where where those guys are because Ravens have Mark you mentioned Marlon Humphrey Marcus Peters They've been doing a great job this year and Marcus Peters seems to be now all the way back From his injury And I know Marlon Humphrey he was dealing with a groin injury a couple weeks ago, but he seems to be straight now But the the biggest concern is the young corners The young secondary For the Ravens and where teams have taken advantage of the young guys Brandon Stevens in his second year Jaylen Alma Davis and also um the Marion Williams both in their first year So it's important that the Ravens recognize that now I'm gonna put you on the spot Good game this week. Mm-hmm fighting game this week. Sure should have been on prime time But that's cool. Let's take it at one o'clock as long as we get the game um How do you think this game is gonna go You got a score prediction cool if you don't got a score prediction even cooler But who do you think comes out on top and why? all right, well We're both it's funny because this is a a weird game for the two of us Because Where we faced an afc foe uh, not too long ago you lost to the Miami Dolphins we lost to the Miami Dolphins an afc conference foe, right? We lost to the Miami Dolphins that's in our division. So we can't have that So we cannot go down two Games to two afc foes. We just can't right you took care of the patriots tough matchup. So care of them We just can't so I have the bills winning this one. We're bouncing back. It's gonna be a tough one But I think I believe we bounce back. I think we're gonna lean heavily on the shoulders of our pass rush I know that you guys are a little banged up on the old line um And uh, the run game hasn't been as efficient as you would like it to be And I think we've got a lot of veteran guys on this team that are Disciplined because that that rpo that you guys have that read option that you guys have with the margex Absolutely deadly and I saw it on full display against the dolphins right up the gut untouched 70 yards Like he's gone, right? He needs to be disciplined enough to to really put a clamp on that Um, so this game is going to be close early But I think that we break away And we start really exploding the middle of the field Uh, and um and really just using allen's legs to buy time And i'm hoping that marcus peters is Disciplined enough because he he will bite He will definitely bite. He's always got his eyes on the backfield. So if you allow him to have the eyes in the backfield Don't I wouldn't worry so much about Stefan digs going off It's gabe davis that you do you guys you guys have to watch out for on the other side Gabe is a big boy contested catch and he's got deceptive speed man And he's a big time player So gabe davis is the one that you guys should really watch out for But I think this is going to be close at the beginning and then the bills pull away score predictions I hate him. You know I do but I'm gonna give you some pictures We're gonna we're gonna go right back to where we normally are and scoring 30 points in game So i'm gonna go 35 Um, and I'll give y'all I'm you guys are gonna get an end. So you got to I'll give you guys, uh, I'll give you guys 23 Oh, oh the size of the victory now. Yeah 35 23 couple field goals you guys got a big time kicker and and tucker and You can't keep lamar and andrews out the out the end so and it's very difficult to do that So, uh, you guys will do that, but I think we'll put the clamps on that defensive at that offensive run game of yours Okay. All right, so I appreciate it. We'll see how this thing goes I've been so uh back and forth on this game, uh, like crazy, man Because both teams just they they present so many different challenges to one another Both teams are dealing with so many, uh, significant injuries to different spots both on offense and defense Um, so yeah, it should be a really really really really good one. It's gonna be a special game But rico, I appreciate you coming on. I appreciate you taking the time to join us Um, and I appreciate you still going strong even while the dogs decided, you know what we're gonna start walking So Listen, man, we don't stop recording. We know life happens We're not in the studio like steven a smith. We got things around us that we got to deal with now This is a message to raven's fan You thought I was just gonna be nice because I was cordial but raven's fans don't forget I need y'all to forget because I'm gonna be in the comment section see what's going on You remember me from last time I was talking my ish and I kept it rolling And it felt so good when I picked six took it back to the house Expect another pick six lamar's do for one Oh one era pass We're gonna take that and we're gonna take it back to the house and I hope it's my rookie corner back My rookie career. Oh, I hope it happens. So it's gonna be a good game, man Ravens bills big match up salute to my guy my man engravings He's been doing them things so you guys show appreciation man because the content creation game is tough in itself And he's and he's grinding up for it.
