Rex Ryan says the Ravens have the WORST defense in the NFL! 😱 + How can they get better?! | Get Up

the Kansas City Chiefs. Let's show you all the reasons why we go to Arrowhead yesterday for the matchup of the superstar quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes has always dominated this matchup. Ravens now up 73 in the first quarter. Lamar Jackson wrecks under pressure and makes the big mistake to pick his first interception of the season. Yeah, I mean,

obviously, this is the first one, the only one of the season.

And here comes Xavier Worthy. Now the other one, the only one of the season. And here comes Xavier Worthy now the other way. Teddy, they missed him badly. That speed, just the little explosive plays

they did not have.

It was nice to see he made an impact, not only in the plays like this, but also down the field.

And then Juju Smith-Schuster, and that's his first touchdown of the season. Chiefs take a 13-7 lead. wanted to see something from Isaiah Pacheco. How about this? I listen to you see this play. This play is run by a lot of

different teams. Get that back out in the flat. Easy score 20

to seven next raise Ravens possession. We got a minute and a half. We got Lamar. We got a scramble. We got the ball coming out. It's a house of horrors for Lamar Jackson. Again, Ravens unable to convert third quarter we go Kansas City in control Mahomes looking worthy.

Dee Wood he is going to be wide open worthy.

Eighty three receiving yards and

thirty eight rushing.

What a difference he made.

After that I don't know if it was a bust or something on the back end but there is not a defender within ten yards of

And then he's developing a nice connection with Taequann

Thornton. Yeah, great connection, but this is a defensive bust by the Baltimore Ravens.

We're going to show you the play in a moment, just why it was so bad. Chiefs up 27-10. Ravens desperation time. Lamar scrambling, and down he goes. Remember, he was sacked seven times Monday night by the Lions. Three more in this game, and then after this play, he would leave with a hamstring injury. And so this one was as one-sided as it gets 3720 the final.

It might not have been quite as close as that would sound. And maybe the most important storyline coming out Shafty. The hamstring of Lamar Jackson. What do we know?

The game was out of hand. So we're not sure whether they took him out because the game wasn't close and they were arresting him or whether this is the type of hamstring injury as many are that can sideline Lamar Jackson a week or two. Now let's keep in mind the Ravens play the Texans this

upcoming week.

They have one more game and then they have a by right. So that could enter in depending on how that hamstring is. But hamstrings it's a strain their muscles. They'll see how he's doing during the week, gauge it, and we'll see whether Lamar Jackson can bounce back next week for a team that needs him, for a defense that's failing them.

Lamar Jackson's been pressing. There's a lot of things right now that Baltimore has to work through, but none may be bigger than that hamstring.

For sure. They have three straight home games coming up with the bye in the middle of it. As you mentioned, they have the Texans, the Rams and the Bears. So maybe they can get right. But Rex, you and I were talking before the show. You there's a part of you that will always be a Raven. That defense, a lot of it is in your image and your imagination.

So if I were to ask you to give one word to describe the

Baltimore defense right now, what would it be? I don't recognize anything. I don't recognize the tackling. I don't recognize the Raven mentality, the Raven pursuit, the Raven pass rush. I don't recognize the scheme. So it's not even just the disposition of the players, but I don't recognize the scheme. Like this used to be an attack first defense. Could care less who they were playing. Alright?

And to me, I don't recognize it. And certainly don't recognize the results. This is the worst defense in the National Football League.

Say that again.

The worst defense in the National Football League. When going into the season, I think they're going to be the best.

The Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens. Now look, last year year we saw this too. For the first five games of the season they they couldn't stop a And then at the end of the season they turn around. I don't see the same thing here.

I don't I don't know where it's

coming.

You know and because I like I say they're going to have to do some some soul searching here. We got to play better without question. We got to play with that Raven mentality that Raven pride. I don't see that.

Rex you talk about scheme a little bit of that Thornton play is I don't understand letting a run of a vertical go down the Here is the rookie Teddy Buchanan here as an inside linebacker. I mean you have a safety on

outside leverage outside the hash over the numbers and the verticals going straight up. I would assume that the linebacker should carry this, but you have three guys on the shallow cross and then the safety has to squeeze that from outside in. This is the scheme you're talking about that. I don't recognize it either in terms of just a free run through the middle of the defense for the Baltimore Ravens.

And it's an easy touchdown for the Kansas City Chiefs. So we spent a lot of last week, Dee Wood, talking about, well, the Chiefs need this one more because the division, the Chiefs need this one more, the Ravens will be okay, even if they lose. Doesn't feel that way. The way the game played out, it doesn't feel that way. Do the Ravens, are they a Super Bowl contender?

No, no. don't see the Ravens in that conversation. I think they're done. I think the Ravens are done at one and three at one and three. The yes, the Ravens were with the great Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. I feel like that they're done and it primarily speaks to what you've been talking about Rex on the defense side of football. Do we see them make improvements last year than when they when they when they when they move the safety to, you know, back to his original

position Hamilton, Kyle Hamilton. They when he when he moved back originally, they made improvements, but there's no one coming to save them on the defensive side of the football. Okay. There's no, there's no personnel or any scheme that can save the Raven from bad tackling not being in the right place at the right time. And oh, by the way, your quarterback

is hurt with a hamstring injury. Okay, taking away the most valuable part of his game, which is his legs.

The wood, you know, their defense, their edge rushers. They got a lot of high picks there and edge rusher. They have two sacks from their edge rushers. Yeah, four games.

I keep hearing about the absence of well, he's been hurt. I get it. Everyone has people who are hurt. My goodness, he's a good player, but, I mean, it cannot turn them into this.

Their defense has been a shit. You're right. It's important to know with Lamar. It's probably the most explosive hamstring in the National Football League. The Ravens still battling back for the next three months. Like I said earlier, we're just finishing September here. The Ravens have a lot of football to play.

One in three. I understand why you would say they might be dead. But tell me this morning, who's going to go away and win that division? Do you trust the Cleveland Browns to do that, Dee Wood? Do you trust the Cincinnati Bengals to do that? And the Pittsburgh Steelers right now would have a chance, obviously.

But they don't look like some invincible foe that Baltimore can't catch.

Perhaps not. Let me go to the other side quickly, because even with all of this time, it runs so fast. The Chiefs, you can't have a better day than they had. A week ago Sunday morning, they woke up winless. People were saying maybe the Giants are gonna surprise them. Now, they blow out the Giants,

they blow out the Ravens. The Chargers lose a game at the Giants, and we'll get to that in a minute. So all of a sudden, Kansas City, they look explosive again, and they're gonna get Rasheed Rice

back in a couple of weeks. I think that no one in the NFL had a better day yesterday than Patrick Mahomes in the Kansas

City Chiefs. Greening. We've been talking at knowledge him about the lack of explosive plays in the national football with the as it relates to Kansas City Chiefs. It is so hard to score when you don't have explosives in the drive. That's what we saw yesterday with the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, you get Xavier word back

speed kills in this league and you're able to get building those explosive plates. It just makes it easier on the offense

when you have those explosive plays and you mix in with those explosive plays. The short ones, the yards after catch 165 yards after catch yesterday per game before this for weeks one through three was like under a hundred. So these guys are getting the rhythm going. It's the best their offensive line is looked also.

Yeah. Well, that's to me. That's what I was going to focus on because Patrick Mahomes reminded everybody's the best quarterback in football, but

you're good when you protect him.

Finally put some protection with them. Finally. And look, is that Baltimore? Is it whatever, but it's a great sign for Kansas City.

Certainly. Baltimore is at whatever, but it's a great sign for Kansas City, certainly. And what about Chris Jones, who's in Mississippi for his aunt's funeral during the morning, flies back, makes it to the stadium minutes before the game, plays and helps shut down the Baltimore Ravens.

It's a great and unbelievable story there. Mahomes, four touchdowns and 270 passing yards. Out over the hour, thrilling game yesterday in steamy Tampa Bay. Battle of the unbeatens, Eagles and Buccaneers and for the second straight week. D.W. with the Eagles special

teams coming up.

There's three phases of the Folks all this defense and special team.

Rex what's it remind you of the

hated page.

He goes up and then we got Jalen Hurts, Dallas Goddard punching it in. They're running fake tush pushes all over the place. Eagles take opening up a lead and then is Baker. Buying time. Emeka Abuka, the sensational rookie, 77 yards.

He was on countdown cam yesterday too and he gets a touchdown.

Everyone who does this joke does well. The Bucs are starting to come back after being well behind the momentum is going in their direction and then the what the critical fumble turns.

And we all man you've got to take care of the football man, this playing good teams like this. You've got to take

care of the football hockey Irving the wrist is not down we heard Dean Blandino stay on the telecast and thus it is a turn

over and they could push again Dee Wood. Oh, what a play. What a play. To fake the touch push.

Easy, easy pickings.

But again, the Buccaneers fighting back. This game took a long time. We're still in the third quarter. Bucky Irving behind the defense for 72 yards.

Can't cover him forever.

They very much make this a game. They get it to within one score. It's 31 23. That's what you love about Baker. And then Rex, how about this? This is what you hate about Baker. First down Baker. Come on, fourth down. I understand it, but not on first down. It's a critical mistake. Jihad Campbell makes the interception. It's a first down play with eight minutes left in the game in a one score game another costly

turnover.

Eagles wind up winning thirty one twenty five and what was an unbelievable game and the numbers I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like this. What you're seeing on your

screen those second half numbers those are Jalen Hurts.

That's not a typo.

It's not a mistake. He was 0 for eight in the second half. He becomes the second quarterback in the last twenty five years to win a game after going 0 for eight or worse in the second

They had no offense in the second half. And afterwards A.J. Brown with a cryptic social media post. He caught two passes for seven yards in this game and about two

hours after it ended, he posted, if you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene, shrug your shoulders, and be on your way. This is remember, we all remember him reading the books

on the sideline, and now he's posting the cryptic tweets on the sideline. And I got to be honest with you, I got nothing. I have no idea what to make of this. Watch it. D would watch it. I make of him posting that after the game.

And it feels the ultimate reality TV show man. Like you literally like winning is the ultimate deodorant. It really is dude. You're foreign. Oh, you're you're falling. I would rather make corrections after when then you lose and then you doing stuff like this. Okay, and also after Rex, you won't talk to this, dude, you're AJ Brown.

How are you going without making having any impact in the game? You're one of the best receivers in the game. Find a way to make

an impact. That's it. Demand the ball with your play. And quite honestly, I saw Hertz tried to go three plays in a row to you. Come up with a let's go. You got to be the you got to be the baddest dude out there.

Go get it.

But it come back to the ball. Catch the darn thing.

Turn it up.

Run the corner over slap the taste out of his mouth. Keep going.

It's like, it's a normal. It's the normal.

It's the norm. It's what you expect from a right, right? I know but AJ, here's the thing man, like you're so disappointed. Well, I got news for you. So are your teammates because they want more from you. So don't look at you got to get me the ball. No, we got to win. We got to win.

If you want the ding ball, you go get it. You earn it.

You earn it. You earn it. That quarterback is going to do his. Here's the great thing. You could trip all you want.

You can do whatever.

He'll get you the football.

And to me I just think I think I speak for every fantasy owner that has this cat like you. We are disappointed. You're going to tell me right

now that there's a part of me that thinks A.J. Brown is a next-level genius, because this is the second consecutive season in which he has maintained plausible deniability, right? He's reading a book on the sidelines, like, man, it's just what I do. I just read a book on the sideline to keep me calm.

Now, he's posting a verse from the Bible, which the only way to interpret this, except he could just say, no, I was just not saying anything. They're 4-0. He is, he maintains plausible deniability while obviously demonstrating displeasure with what's going on.

What happened last year after he became a loyal member of the Book of the Month Club? They've won two Super Bowl titles.

He exploded and they won the Super Bowl.

Right?

So now we have a situation where he's caught 13 passes this year. Puka Nakua caught one fewer pass yesterday than he was all year long and he's all of a sudden making noise and he's giving everybody stuff to talk about because they've won 20 of 21 They're winning in ways that you

They're not getting production They're not getting production out of Saquon Barkley. Jaylin Hurts is not passing for big yardage and yet they're finding ways to win the game because

We've talked on this show last week how the Eagles have become inevitable and they're not playing great football and they're still four or no and they still look like they could

have home field advantage in the

And I know it could change

But right now they're rolling You get little blips like this, and this probably means that AJ Brown, Rex's fancy team's about to explode.

You get it done in the red area, you get it done in a turnover battle, or a third down, those critical situations, that's when they do it. They're gonna need AJ. There's gonna be games where they're gonna need AJ

and he has to be ready for it.

One person that's not phased by this is Jalen Hurts. That's what I want to ask you about. You're one of the great team leaders in recent NFL memory. What are the team leaders thinking when they see after the game? AJ Brown is tweeting. If you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene, shrug your shoulders and be on your way.

Sometimes you got to let your players pout and it just happens that way and you let him do it. And then when the game plan comes out in the games on the line and you go to him, he's just there because you got to let them be themselves. Sometimes these are world champions. We're talking about here. We know AJ very well in that locker room. Sirianni knows them hurts knows them how to deal with them. When the time comes Jalen is going to be like

I'm still going to throw it to you. Just be ready because it's going to come one of these days. Yeah. No, I look at it this way, man. Like,

here's what you kind of do. You can get like put two or three plays that show that he's going to be a focus next week. Yeah, I know that your first two or three pass play. Oh, hey, yeah, I'm gonna get him right back. Giorgione doesn't care.

He doesn't care about style points. He's going to win. Right. Nobody runs the ball more than them. Nobody does anything. It's ugly. Tush push whatever. He just wants to win.

Twenty of twenty one games including of course the Super Bowl championship for the And yet they still manage to have what feels like some Let's run through some other interesting things from

yesterday. This was the worst play of the

day by far.

A.D. Mitchell.

It was just as I was just disgusted watching this like bro cross the goal line with the with the ball. You literally celebrated too

early.

Ball comes out.

Now it's a touchback. He also had a holding call you know in the the Jonathan Taylor run that hurt the team as well. Two critical mistakes in that game.

That took 14 points off the board in a game they absolutely had a chance to win. And it's frustrating because A, he's a very good player. B, the Colts went out there and I thought proved to everyone they are legit.

Yes.

This was like the big test Teddy. We were, you were saying yesterday on Sunday Countdown. Let me see them as they step up in class.

I thought they played more than well enough to win. They did. But in a two minute situation, a quarterback ends up making performing and making up for those mistakes. Daniel Jones couldn't do that. All right.

He had the ball in his hands. He threw an interception. Daniel Jones could have made us forget about all of that with Adonai Mitchell and just took him down and won the game. He couldn't do it.

What do you say to a player when, I mean, he is just running free to the end zone and he loses the ball before he gets in?

I mean, that's just selfish. That's all it is. And you'd show your team, like, why do you zone like is that cool. I got to know. Is this cool. Like I'm going to go trot around here. Is it getting the damage. So do that crap at the end of

The second pylon.

Why the hell does this happen.

And we've seen it.

It's not just this young man.

It's happened others.

So in the damn zone and they had opportunity to be four and oh banking a huge win on the West Coast. In the meantime in their division the Jaguars make a statement by winning in San Teddy my question are the Jaguars sneaky playoff

Fellas it's not sneaky.

This defense is real. They're leading the league and taking the football away. Travis Etienne is running the I'm telling you that head coach he's got a little prick in him too. OK. And sometimes you need that. Maybe that's exactly what Jacksonville needed.

The head coach in there slam the gavel on the table and say let's Well they're playing tough

I'll tell you someone who would

agree with you is Robert Sala. For those of you who didn't see this after the game Robert Sala the 49ers last week he made comments about the Jaguars being very good at legally stealing He multiple times stressed that he wasn't suggesting they were But even so Liam Cohn seemed

quite upset about it. This was the scene after the

game. I'm out of here. I'm going to f*** your world up. I'm going to f*** up. You don't want to f*** with me. I'm going to f***ing end your life.

I'm going to f***ing get out of here.

You f***ing f***.

Why is everyone just starting to laugh?

Why is that so funny? Oh, Mike, first of all, he don't want that smoke with Salah.

Like, Salah is slow, bro. I mean, I'm going got a little piss and vinegar about him. But you don't want that smoke with with Bob.

I would ask you were a coach for I mean does this is this does this kind of thing happen sometimes that we just don't

Not going to happen to me because I'd be laying hands. I know I'm not very I'm 62 years old but I'd be laying hands right there midfield come get me. But the only one I ever backed down from was that Brandon Jacobs when I'm like.

And I never had no team.

It's quite honestly I never You know I did it.

I was like damn that is one big OK I take my shot.

I'll say this. This was an interesting game for The Jaguars I think make a big Shafi the confrontation. I mean it's your Liam Cone.

He's got a little spunk.

Well last week Robert Sala tried to pay a compliment. And saying that he they do a great job of legally stealing Liam Cone clearly did not appreciate it. And I can assure you he was probably waiting all game long to say something to Robert Sala. And after they beat the 49ers, when the 49ers without Nick Bosa have zero pressures and

zero sacks and they don't come through, Liam Cohn was waiting for him. He wasn't going to miss that opportunity to point out something that he did not appreciate. And it resulted in this, a scene after the game. By the way By the way Liam Coe's been great entertainment four weeks we've had him we have Trevor Lawrence waving him off him getting after his own quarterback now we got him going after his own coach two times
