And last night, let's just say it didn't end on a positive note if you're the Ravens. They went out there and lost to the Lions at home. Thirty-eight I'm not sure if I can do it. Derrick Henry is dropping balls. The defense doesn't look as strong.

The Ravens are one and two. Not where you thought this team would be at this point of the season. Joining us right now is someone very familiar. With the Baltimore Ravens. You can catch him.

He's a co-host on the Big Bad Morning Show, 105-7th Fan in Baltimore. Let's welcome in Jeremy Con Jeremy, how you been, man? You good? I'm good, Jared. Thanks for having me, man.

Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt. You know, right before you joined us, we had a caller who hit us up from Baltimore, and he basically said, I am tired. Of John Harbaugh. He feels that his message has kind of grown flat and dry. It's three games in.

What are your thoughts on that comment first?

So, I I mean truth be told, I'm not a big believer in hardball, and I've been that way for years, but I'm not telling you the guy's a bad coach, but I kind of agree with the sentiment from that caller you had there where he's kind of saying, Like we've we've seen this. It's the same story after every loss. It's the same reaction after every win. I mean, it's been 13 years since they won the Super Bowl. And even that year, they were one of the worst teams to get in.

They just got hot at the right time. you know joe flacco 11 touchdowns zero picks So maybe there is something that on the horizon. But I mean, you gotta give them credit because When they drafted Lamar Jackson midway through the season, he pushed all his chips to the middle and he bet on himself with him. And then that's kind of what has given them these extensions. But there's no question that the past few years, I think they've had the most talent in the league and they haven't got it done.

When you think about all the talent, you talk about Lamar Jackson. I I've never in my life heard a head coach heap so much praise on a player. And we see what Lamar Jackson has done and his improvement. Over the years. But the team is built.

Lamar is the entire team. Even how they play defense is built around, it sounds crazy, this guy offensively. He is the team. And so how much is there for them to really change knowing that the identity of the Ravens is built around Lamar?

Well, it's it's weird 'cause the Ravens are averaging thirty seven points a game and they're one and two. And I think I saw the stat today that quarterbacks that have thrown nine touchdowns and zero interceptions through their first three games. All of them are 3-0, except for Lamar this year, where he's being 1-2. I got news for you, they might be 1-3 after they head to Kansas City, but their schedule. It's fairly easier if you want to put it that way.

They still got to figure some things out wholesale. I mean, your point to Lamar, I mean, I'm a Peyton Manning Truther. It's my favorite player. I just said to my son today, I said, I think the cat's the best football player I've ever seen. You're watching what he's doing with his ability to throw the football.

adding to it his ability to run, even though he's cut back on that sum. And I still think the mesh point between Lamar and Derrick Henry, when he puts that ball in his belly, is one of the greatest. um you know one of the greatest advantages in sports right now that we have Because you make the decision of which way you're going, and they're so good at doing it, it makes you wonder what's happened the past two games with the running game.

So, yeah, I mean, there's a lot that falls on Lamar, and I think ultimately he's the guy that's got to bear that cross of. Hey, you haven't won a Super Bowl and your team's not good in the playoffs and You know, it you can't win the big one and that keeps getting built and built and built until he finally does. Jeremy Kahn is joining us, co-host of the Big Bad Morning Show 1057, a fan in Baltimore. You talk about the running game. We saw Derrick Henry 23 yards in that win against Cleveland, that beat down.

against the Browns. We could thank Lamar Jackson's touchdowns for that. But then last night he he only gets fifty on the ground, and now we're hearing about him fumbling the ball. What's the deal with Derek? Is there anything that that you've noticed?

I mean, I don't think there's anything you can point your finger at.

Now, we could have questioned: had this been something that happened week one, week two, and week three, we could look at it and say, okay, is father time catching up to him? I don't even think we're close to that. But you know, running backs in thirty, that's what people believe. This guy takes such good care of himself. I think it's just kind of a small sample size here, but it's three fumbles in three games, and they've lost two of them.

And the two games he lost fumbles, they lost both of those games. Yeah, nobody's beating himself up more than Derrick Henry right now. I think he'll be fine ultimately. Um you know, there's been I hate saying it's just bad luck. You've got to take better care of the football.

And they keep saying it after the games, but I think the wholesale problems this team has on the other side of the ball.

Well, yeah, you talk about that. Of course, you know, Buffalo can put up points, and they did. Detroit can do the same thing, so it's not like they they went out here and lost to some Some scrubs, but what is going on with that defense? Is it the lack of a pass rush? They have all these safeties and backs.

What's the deal? I mean, I think that's part of it. You know, they're rookie Malachi Starks. One of the things we were saying at the beginning of the year is this Ravens secondary. has all first round picks in it.

Alexander, and that's been a bit of a disappointment. You'd like to think that maybe in this game, not having Kyle Van Noy, who was your leading pass rusher last year, and not having Justin Matabike or Namde Matabike, excuse me. Not having him there as well because he creates a pass rush. He's our leading sack guy this year. I mean, with only two, but still he wreaks havoc up front.

But I don't even know if he was there last night that it would have helped. They were just gigantic holes on an offensive line. The Lions had been questioning their interior linemen, so you tell me how one of the better run defenses we saw. Yeah. over the past two or three years, gives up a game like that.

And if they can't look themselves in the mirror and come back, And put up a better effort against the Chiefs. Yeah, maybe this ends up being a long season. Like I said, their schedule ends up being very, very favorable. What we already see at 1-2, there's a lot of alarm bells that are going off in Baltimore with the Ravens. If they go 1-3 against Kansas City, I think people, there's going to be a lot of fussing, there's going to be a lot of arguing.

You guys are certainly going to hear it on the morning show. Nothing's going to change, right? It's just people are going to complain and nothing's going to happen. Not in the course of the season. Yeah, I don't think so.

I mean, you look at years past and what we've seen, if we just go back to last year. The Ravens kind of had that weird start, the double-digit lead they blew against the Raiders, and losing some games early, and people were questioning them. And then they kind of figured their defense out midway through the season and it performed like a top-five defense. We all thought we were going to have a generational team this year with all the talent on the defensive side of the ball and on offense. And I mean, I think we're right about the offensive side.

It's pretty special, but it's hard to figure out why this defense has been so bad. And you almost want to give them a pass because you face the Lions and the Bills, and maybe we need some more data. But it's been really bad against those two teams. Is there anything? That can change throughout the course of the season from a personnel standpoint.

I mean, so this week they're going to get healthier. Isaiah likely will be back. I don't think people realize. Just how good this offense is with Patrick Ricard in there. I mean, you talk about a fullback that's versatile, H-back, tight end.

He played some D-line when he first got in the league. I mean, it's a 300-pound man that just loved pancakes. You put him in front of Derrick Henry. And we've seen why they have such success in this running game. He's a big part of it.

They haven't had him all season long. And I think eventually when you get Kyle Van Noy back and figure out what's going on with Jair Alexander, they'll get pieces throughout the year. Um, that's going to make them better, but you know, I think partially with this scheme, a lot of people are getting tired of Zach Orr here saying that. We've seen this under him. He's a young defensive coordinator.

We've seen this under him for a few years now. Oh, well, I mean, I mean, the defensive coordinator before him, we had fans going out to the facility, putting out leaflets to fire him. That's just we're in a wild world right now. What do you expect from this team? We know it's, hey, you got to go to the AFC Championship game.

Hopefully, they go to the Super Bowl. What do you realistically expect from the Ravens this year, Jeremy? I mean, I fully expect them to put it together and still win this division. I mean, I think they're the best team in the division. And that talent's still there if they stay healthy.

I mean, Lamar, if Lamar's putting up 30 points a game, there's no reason why you can't be giving up less than that to get a few W's here. And as I mentioned, their schedule, I mean, they're playing the Patriots, the Dolphins, the Bengals without Joe Burrow. You know, you look at this division, and I don't know that anybody's necessarily scared of it now the way it felt like they used to be when with the Steelers and Ravens defense not looking all that great.

So. I still think they win this division. I think they get into the playoffs, and then we'll let the chips fall where they may. Going to stub their toe like they usually do in Kansas City or Buffalo.

Well, we know that's pretty much the last stop and destination. Will the Ravens or the Buffalo Bills quote unquote get over the hump? We know that Kansas City doesn't look as strong as they've been in years past. If things don't work out, Whether the Ravens go to an AFC championship game or they stop at the divisional round, if it's the same old thing that we've seen over the past several seasons, I know you're not necessarily a fan of Harbaugh. But what's next?

Are they just going to run it back again next year? What happens? It's hard to say because I mean I feel like this organization and you look at Pittsburgh, um, what they've done with coaches. I mean, Bill Cower getting extended time and staying there. What the Steelers have only had three coaches in their tenure.

I mean, it's pretty insane when you think about it. And I think the Ravens have now done that with hardball. I mean, there may be some conversations with players and seeing how Lamar feels about moving on. Um, if that's something that gets caught up, but like this is more of a fan-driven thing than anything else. We haven't heard anything from ownership saying, you know, hey, he's a coach under fire, or yeah, we're keeping our eye on him, and things haven't gone the way we wanted.

been very quiet on that front. Hmm.

So, same old, same old. I mean, the fans are still going to show up. No, what are they going to do? Just if you love your football, you're going to show up. And I mean, look, we just had a disappointing Orioles season, and people are dying for football.

And it's like football gets here, and it's not what you thought it was going to be. And so, fans are really upset. It hasn't been a great year in Whoville over here in Baltimore. Yeah, well, they've started one and two. I don't think it'd be out of the realm of possibility, as you mentioned, to see these Ravens go on a stretch or a good run.

a good winning streak and I think maybe all of this will be forgotten a little bit. by the time we get to the center part of the season.
