It all was going well for the first three quarters for the Baltimore Ravens in Dallas. And then the defense couldn’t make a stop. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the near miss against the Cowboys and the disturbing trend of blown late leads evaporating.

Uh, welcome home. We are wnst am 1570 Towson, Baltimore, Baltimore, positive.com where all of our work lives, and of course, you can find Luke’s work everywhere the internet travels, and our friends at Royal farms and Jiffy Lube powering him up from Owings Mills down to the ballpark. On Friday, we will be at Costas in established in 1971 I was established back in 1968 This is our final crab cake tour before the birthday show. We really can’t plan much in October, given the baseball schedule, but this is going to be a football segment. The Marilyn lottery has us out on the road, and Lukey will be delighted to know that I do have the Raven scratch offs. Perhaps they were good luck in Dallas over the weekend, I know they were good luck for a lot of people. Had a $20 winner, a $5 winner and a $2 winner, all same table at fates on Friday when John Sarbanes came down and talked about his work in Congress, as well as James Bond from the Living classrooms foundation and Dami Hahn talking tons of oyster information, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About oysters, as well as this Thursday, coming up at the bno Railroad Museum, we’re going to be doing the big oyster recovery partnership festival Friday. I’m Acosta’s for the Maryland crab cake tour. I am on day 17 right now of the oyster tour. I’m doing 26 oysters in 26 days. I’ve had such delicious oysters. I was over true Chesapeake, where I ran into Garrett downing from Baltimore. Ravens.com over brunch and these delicious french onion gruyere. Oh, my God, my wife’s gonna shoot me. She gotta, I gotta get her back into town. Our friends at Jiffy Lube. Ravens, uh, scratch offs at the Maryland lottery. We’re going to have it all together on Friday at Costas and then on the 11th at Pizza Johns and Essex for our birthday, it’s a pre birthday here. What do you want for your birthday? Luke playoff team for baseball, some wins in New York this week. Maybe a quiet fourth quarter where they actually finish a football game, and they got the bills this week. You got the busiest week of the year. And happy pre birthday to both of us as we go into October, my son celebrated his 40th birthday on Sunday with a very narrow victory by the Baltimore Ravens down in Jerry’s world, where God was watching America’s team almost pull off a miracle against the Ravens.
Luke Jones 02:26
Yeah. I mean, what do you want to look at the three quarters where the Ravens looked like the team that we thought they were going to be, and they get their first win largely on the back of what they did over their first three quarters, or the team that looked dangerously like what we saw last week, only perhaps more extreme from from the defensive standpoint, where, I mean, you give up 19 points in the fourth quarter. So they did finish. Now it wasn’t in capital letters, it wasn’t bold faced print. It wasn’t a large font. They did finish. Lamar Jackson did find zay flowers on third down to move the chains. And then a couple plays later, coming out of the two minute warning, Lamar runs for a first down to officially seal it. But my goodness, I mean, this was a game that you wanted to be so positive about over after three quarters, and what they were able to do running the ball, and Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson, even Justice Hill running the ball against a terrible cowboys run defense. I mean, back to back weeks, the Saints ran for almost 200 against them as well. But, well, they
Nestor Aparicio 03:33
look like they didn’t want to tackle Derek Henry. Want to tackle anyone? Yeah. I
Luke Jones 03:37
mean, they didn’t tackle Nelson Aguilar on the big I mean, there was, there was, there was a lot of that, but give the Ravens credit for that. I mean, they made that happen. But at the same time, you got to finish a football game, I’ll hear you know, a win is a win, and when you’re owing to you, don’t apologize for that. You certainly will take it. There were so many positive things, but I’m sorry what transpired in the fourth quarter really overshadowed that to a major degree when it’s the second straight week that your defense plays so well and then just completely collapses. So hey, they’re one and two. You never apologize for a win. You certainly never apologize for a road win. There was much positive to take, but I have a tough time coming out of that victory. You know, with any sense of euphoria, when you are put yourself in that position where suddenly 28 to six in the fourth quarter is very, very uncomfortable in the final couple minutes. Well,
8Nestor Aparicio 04:36
is any lead safe? That’s what we’re going to be asking about this team. And it’s not even just finishing with just get off the field or maybe give up some sort of sloggy long drive where you make them dink and dunk and get down the field and have to use six and a half minutes to and slog away, and have to get on third downs go for a couple of four. I mean, make them. Work for it. You know, if they’re gonna get back three touchdowns scores into the game, how about making a field goal? How about making a first down? How about completing a pass? You know, I just, I don’t know what this I mean, it really was a tale of two games, and I and depending on people get in the car or what segment they find us this week, we’re either going to be in massive praise mode of how good the offense can be, that the offensive line was better that John, I don’t, I don’t know what he I don’t even know what. Why don’t we even have these press conferences? I you know what I mean, like we’re going to play back. Well now we’re not. We’re going to use the offensive line we have whatever the game plan was. It worked, and they were running the ball on the road and running the team over and grading them, and then the next thing you know, they got a 22 point lead, and Lamar is running draw plays up the middle, up three touchdowns in the middle of the third quarter. I’m thinking, like, when are you getting them off the field? And they’re having them running the linebackers, like I just who’s running the place? I mean, I like, literally, how is this happening, and what are the calls on defense? What are the assignments on defense, and how? How’s the tight end running up the middle of the field when he couldn’t do it all day, and they couldn’t run the ball at all, and you knew they had to pass where’s the pass rush? Where’s the secondary? Now that’s me being a jerk. That’s what happens when you have to run the slate of hand play and run your quarterback at the two minute warning 11 yards up the middle of the field just to seal the game. When you had a three touchdown lead like I it’s really hard to feel great about them. I would feel better about them if they’re playing Cleveland this week or Carolina, except the Carolina beat the team we lost to last week. So I don’t even know who the bad teams are anymore. I just look at this team and say, Yeah, I see everything you see the two time reigning MVP and roquan Smith’s potential and Kyle Hamilton, I don’t who, I don’t think’s healthy, all of this potential and all like and say flower zigs and Derek Henry greats, and where’s Mark Andrews, and where’s Isaiah likely, and where’s the tight end game. And I can play all of these games, but there was a disturbing sort of win, if there’s such a thing. I mean, because this team could be, that could be, should be a lot better than this. They should have won both weeks covered. Made the gamblers happy. You beat two one and say, well, we kind of had a boo boo against my homes. They can’t say that. And they got something like football against the bills. And, you know, they could go out and beat the bills by three touchdowns, I guess, or they could have a three touchdown lead. Josh Allen could lead a miracle on Sunday night, but I don’t feel confident about this football team right now. Yeah. I
Luke Jones 07:51
mean, look, do I think this is a bad football team? No. I mean, far from it, right? I mean, and I will stick up for them a bit when it comes to that talking point about all these leads that they’ve blown going back the last three, four years, bad teams don’t jump out to big leagues like that, right? And they’ve won a lot of football games when you look at their overall record, right? So we know that, but
Nestor Aparicio 08:14
they’re not getting these leads by luck, right? Exactly, kicks or weird muff this, or, like, short fields. It’s, I mean, they’ve had long fields, and, like, to your point, I listened to our segment before. I mean, they’re leading the league in offense in all sorts of ways, and going up and down the field doing everything but putting sevens up. And then they put sevens up early on. And you’re like, All right, now they’re now, they’re on to this, and we’re seeing what this can be. And now we’re going to be talking all week about what happened in the fourth quarter, more than what happened the first three quarters. I think, yeah, no, quite
Luke Jones 08:47
8well, it’s the fourth quarter, right? I mean, that’s if there’s a quote, if there’s a quarter that matters, it’s the fourth quarter, right? All of it, all of it counts, right? Let’s be clear about this. In fact, I even joked, as I was talking to a friend after the game, that it kind of felt like the Ravens season, or the Ravens game, was a microcosm of the Orioles season, right? This amazing first half that they kind of just lived off of as things got dicey at the end, and that’s kind of what the Orioles are dealing with right now. They’re living off of what they did in the first half. But that’s neither here nor there. I think what’s just so concerning for me, and obviously there are elements of this. I mean, they have the worst pass defense in the NFL in terms of yards per game. They were going into that game and then they gave up what they gave up, specifically in the fourth quarter where, I mean, and what’s frustrating is you see them do it for three quarters, right? I mean, since two weeks in a row. I mean the Raiders, that was a little more extreme, but I mean, the Raiders had 43 yards, or whatever it was in the first half last week, the Cowboys had six points with a little over 11 minutes to go. I mean, that’s what we’re talking about here. So you can’t be a terrible. Defense and do that for three quarters, but you can’t be a great defense and do what they did in the fourth quarter. So what is going on there? But I think overall, Nestor, what’s concerning for me, and it’s a point that we were talking about a couple years ago. We talked about it early last year, and we’re seeing it again this year. Is for as well as they play overall, right? And as well as they played through the first three quarters on Sunday, there’s just something about when things go south, when things start to go sideways. It’s like this aura surrounds the team, where everyone’s waiting for something bad to happen. I mean, think about just the general sequence of events. On Sunday, Justin Tucker misses. No, this wasn’t from 56 this wasn’t from 53 Justin Tucker misses from 46 it’s growing more difficult to ignore this at this point in time. And no, I saw people saying they need to work out kicker stuff like that. I mean, come on, get serious that said, that doesn’t mean that everything’s fine either. And I think it was telling as the clock was running down to zero, you could see on the Fox telecast, John Harbaugh talking at length with Justin Tucker there. And, you know, I think there were certainly words of encouragement, probably trying to lift up his kicker, who has been so amazing for so long. I mean, this was the first time I went back and looked at this Nestor. It’s the first time in Justin Tucker’s career he’s missed a field goal in three straight games. That’s pretty remarkable when you think about that, but it speaks to the standard that he’s had for himself for so long and where he is right now. I mean, it’s, it’s unsettling, but from that point when he misses that field goal, think about what happens. Dallas drives down the field, scores a touchdown. Okay? I mean, that was, that was their first touchdown of the game. No problem at that point. However, onside kick, zay flowers doesn’t recover it. Dallas gets the ball back, scores another touchdown. They recover the next onside kick. However, they go three and out, including a third and three that Lamar throws errant to mark Andrews. They get a good punt. Next drive, OA penalty, Dallas, touchdown. Ravens, final drive that they did, ultimately, they were able to finish. Even if you want to put it in very small font, they did finish. But even on that ride, that second down run, Derrick, Henry slips and falls setting up third down. I mean, it’s
Nestor Aparicio 12:29
almost like the slapstick, right? I mean, like when it starts to go wrong, it feels like, yeah, come on, man. You know, make a play somebody. And you can almost hear somebody saying, like that, somebody make a play. And then, you know, we could talk about Zach or call him plays, and we can talk about where the defense is aligned. We can talk about Kyle Hamilton’s health. I think, to some degree, I think we have to talk about the pass rush. And by the way, we’re, uh, we’re about 12 minutes into this segment. What about penalties? Just the general penalties. Penalties are sure, but what is defined this team over the first three weeks? I mean, it’s something we’re talking about every Monday morning. Is a blown lead, blown assignments, fourth quarter penalties, inability to finish games, inability to finish games offensively, either take the ball, run it up their ass. That’s what, it’s what you’re paying them to do. That’s what, that’s what this is all about. Or bring back Gus, Edwards, somebody’s got to run the ball in the fourth quarter, not named Lamar Jackson with a three touchdown lead, shameful. I mean, really is,
Luke Jones 13:34
well, I mean, Lamar Jackson can run the football, but, yeah, you don’t want to go, oh, geez, here we go again. You’re talking about a two time MVP. Like you need to let this go. He runs the ball, Henry in the fourth cable. Lamar Jackson. I mean, you can keep saying this, but like, he’s not Joe Flacco back there. He’s Lamar Jackson. Look at I don’t know why you have such trouble with the idea that the greatest running quarterback in NFL history is gonna run the football period. You think it’s changing at this point? I mean, I don’t know, but anyway, that is so. But the game
Nestor Aparicio 14:13
on the line, it’s one thing with a three touchdown lead in the third game at the end, that’s the look I wrote my column this week off of that play. Like the headline was when it came down to it, when it came they needed a play. The play is, here’s a you take it, take it. Take note. We’ll go the other way. And the two fastest guys on the field split the field in half, drop linebackers to their knees, and Lamar laughs for 11 yards until somebody figures out how to tackle him right, like that’s their best play. That’s what they went with at the two minute warning. Lamar Jackson being a part of that, I’m down with that. The fact that it happened 58 minutes into a game where they had a 22 point lead and their quarterback is running into line backwards, running for his life and for the game when guys could take his head off. I. I, I, it’s just, I, you know, I mean, how about this? This is where, if my dad were here, he’d say something, really, I wish my dad could call the show. So I should do a character be my dad. If you could be your dad, and we could talk to each channel our dads, especially now that my kids 40, my dad would say they’re not winning a super bowl like this. You can’t be running into linebackers at the two minute warning, fighting for your life, doing that RPO crap to get away with it at the end, running your quarterback into the middle of the line in the 58th minute of the game, and using him like a running back for 17 weeks. Like I just it’s just, you know, we can go back and forth, but when he’s not playing, and I see other quarterbacks get broken in half, and I see Justin Herbert chargers are done. Call Harbaugh’s Brother Let him Tyler Taylor hannicky. He’s better off at Meineke than that. He they’re going nowhere without their quarterback. Keep my quarterback upright. He shouldn’t be having to run the ball like that in the second half. That’s how I feel about it, and I’ll always feel that way, especially when he ran the ball 16 times two weeks ago and lost there’s my rant. Okay, okay, I
8Luke Jones 16:09
would say everything else about the team leads them to that point. So to me, that’s not a Lamar problem. That’s a everything else needs to be better. I mean, you know, not. I don’t really have that many issues with the offense. I mean, the offense ran the ball. I mean, what 200 what was the final total? It was 274 yards. Derek Henry had 151
Nestor Aparicio 16:31
of those. Yeah, the offense had nothing to do with Tucker missing a kick and then that recovering on side kick. I
Luke Jones 16:36
mean, say flowers on the offense. There was one, you know, there was one drive in the midst of that, where you say, Yeah, you don’t want to go three and out, obviously, right? Obviously, you know, I’m not absolving them, throwing the ball and stopping the clock too, right? But at the same time, I mean, you have to do what you have to do at the end of the game. You know, my I have no problem seeing Lamar Jackson run the ball at the very end of the game. I
Nestor Aparicio 16:59
8agree. I agree that point. That’s their best place. Seven years into this, and they it needs to be better than that. That’s why Mark Andrews exist. That’s why these other guy and by the way, Luke’s here. He’s Baltimore, Luke. You know, I’m feisty, nasty Nestor, because the tech service is back, brought to you by Cole roofing. So we got our first text sent out, I believe, and we’re refreshed through this because we’ve got a new service that you can text join or W NST to 410-821-9678, and if you’re familiar with that number, it’s a two, 1w, N, S T, it is our studio number. So if you start getting texts from that number, you’re among 5557 people that are included. Actually, 58 because of somebody texted me to join early on Monday morning. So Luke is back on that. And by the way, Luke, I want to say this to you in the middle of a raven’s thing where I’ll be nice in a minute. We could talk about how awesome the offense was, and you know how great John’s leadership is, and all that stuff in a minute. But I would say, for the text service, appreciate everyone thinking that when they read it out loud, they hear it in my voice, which is when they stop getting it. They’re all like, you know, every time I got the text, I heard it in your voice, and I’m like, Luke sending it. So hear it in Luke’s voice. So if you’re going to do an AI and do a readable thing, like my wife has the AI guy that reads the Map Quest when she’s driving around, and he’s Australian, so it sounds a little bit like rock it all. So when you hear the wnst text, hear it in the voice of Luke Jones, not in the voice of Nestor. I just want to say that, because you’re the one laboring on it. So look the offense. I look I, I can sit here and play positivity about their upside, because it’s obvious, they almost beat the chiefs. They came a Dippy Dippy, though, right? We can play that game. They almost beat the chiefs, and they had a lead on the Raiders, and they did beat the Cowboys on the road, you know, like they could be three and, oh, we can play that game, or we can play the what’s wrong and how do they fix it? And, oh, by the way, Buffalo and Cincinnati, like, as I wrote, like they’ll get their real equilibrium when they wake up, one and four or three and two or two and three, whatever they’re going to be. Because these next two games are little weird, September, October, playoff games in the, you know, sort of in the early part of this to say, where are you? Really? Are you? Where you were struggling to beat lowly Oakland or Vegas, whatever they’re called this week, or scuffling to just get by in Dallas after having them on the ropes for three quarters or, I mean, these are the heavyweights. These if Buffalo and Cincinnati aren’t in the playoffs in January, it’s it. And now that San Diego’s or LA’s, I keep calling about their old names, because that’s they’ll always be San Diego. To me, I would just say, like, I don’t think they’re going to be in the playoffs. So, yeah, they’re going to see my homes in January at some point, if they’re going to have to try to get there. But it feels like these next two are the next two in line and and these are big. Football games, and they’re real, a real measuring point as to whether this is one and four, two and three, or three and two.
Luke Jones 20:07
Yeah, I think that’s fair. I mean, I don’t you know they’re not playoff games or anything like that. And I know I know what you were saying you
Nestor Aparicio 20:13
were, but measuring for if you lose them well,
Luke Jones 20:17
I mean, you know remains to be seen, but they certainly need to. They want to start building some momentum here. And it looked like they had done that through three quarters. I mean, we’re all compliment them is, I think it was very evident. They knew they wanted to run the ball, and they went out and did that. I mean, Lamar Jackson, you know, say what you want about your line, about running into linebackers, and all that that you like saying all the time, but he threw 15 times. That was the fewest times he’s thrown in a game in his career that he has started and finished. I mean, it was very evident. They saw what that Dallas front looked like against New Orleans the previous week, and they said, We’re going to gash them. They didn’t even make any changes along the offensive line, which I think they were absolutely prepared to do, depending on how that game went. But they just, they ran the ball, whether it was design runs with Lamar, whether it was design, you know, obviously design runs to Derrick. Henry Justice Hill had a few carries in there that that he ran. Well, I mean, it was Dallas. That front is too light. They didn’t want to tackle it. They were the less physical team, and the Ravens dominated them. That’s why it’s so, you know, bewildering that the game was what it was at the end, because the Ravens had dominated and controlled the game and imposed their will on them. So how does that happen? I mean, that’s where I look at the defense and say, how do you go from doing what you did the first three quarters in a in a game in which you weren’t on the field a whole lot, right? I mean, it’s not like Dallas had this dominating edge in time of possession the way the game was going. So how does the defense not finish stronger? And then in turn, the offense, which, again, you look at the fourth quarter. It’s not as though they had a slew of miscues or anything like that. They had the three and out. You know, Tucker missed the field goal. I did think it was telling that the Ravens at the 40 yard line, the Dallas 40, following that missed field goal later in the quarter, they’re at the Dallas 40, indoors, and they pawn it. I mean, was that not telling instead of sending out Justin Tucker to kick a 5758 yard field goal, and you know that that it felt like that wasn’t even a consideration at that. I think Harbaugh thought, I don’t want him to miss too sure well, and part of it is, if
8Nestor Aparicio 22:39
you don’t think confidence level, just sort of like, or hey, where he is. He’s not. I don’t like the way look. John Harbaugh, he hates when I say this. I definitely want to say this out loud. Good morning, John. It’s nice to hear from you last week, he’s a special teams coach. I mean, that’s his special skill that he’s had. Like I’m a writer, as I pointed out this week, in my 40th anniversary with the news American, I did an hour with a whole bunch of old people that you can check out at Baltimore. Positive. It’s his first skill set. If he’s not feeling smelling good about the kicker, I mean, I trust his instinct right up there with Dave talb and you name any of the he’s one of the great special teams coaches, literally, in the history of the game, right? Because he took that job and has turned it into a Hall of Fame career now, or borderline Hall of very good, depending on where you are going to the Hall of Fame for blowing fourth quarter leads. There’s my Earl Weaver because John Miller, the author, is here having people read the Earl Weaver script. Are you aware of this? I gotta tell you about this. In the baseball segment I talked to John Miller that not the other John this John Miller with an age he’s having people read the Earl Weaver script on the street for comedy like anyway. So, but back to back to horrible, um, you know, for for me with this, I I look at these decisions from a leadership standpoint, for John, that part of this is, how do you get the confidence back, adjusting to right like and it might not be a 57 yard indoor kick in Texas, in his home state. I mean, just the fact that he was sort of coaching whatever you saw, you felt like you saw on the screen at the end of the game, that there’s something about Justin Tucker that, you know, we’re gonna wind up having to do a segment about that this week, and he’s gonna stand on his locker. In his locker and talk about regrouping and not missing kicks, because this is we talked about Adley rutschman for three months, right? Adley rutschman’s got a two month, two year track record of doing this. Justin Tucker’s got a 12 years in Hall of Fame resume. We’re going to, we’re going to wind up talking about this a little bit, I think, right? Yeah.
Luke Jones 24:42
I mean, I think at this point, and I still will maintain that so much of that discussion about misses from 50 plus, if you go back the last couple years and look at a lot of those, some of those were extremely long kicks, right? We’re not talking about missing a bunch of you. 5051 52 right? So
Nestor Aparicio 25:03
he’s try kicks. Nobody else to try. Sure. No question how much, like in the broadcasting, 52 used to Tom Brady says 52 used to be like, 52 Hey, 53 we don’t kick. 55 we don’t, you know, let’s just to the end of the game. These guys are just doing 60s like, you know, it really is remarkable in the way we talk about pitching, and everybody’s max effort, max effort. And everybody throws 100 miles an hour. We’re now at the point where kickers kick 60 yards like it used to be 50. Well, how
Luke Jones 25:30
8about the fact that Brandon Aubrey, who go back and look at his numbers since the start of last year, and specifically his numbers from 50 plus since the start of last year, he made a 65 yard field goal midway through the first quarter. I mean, think about that, that it’s not a 65 yarder with three seconds left in the half, or you’re trying to a miracle 65 yarder to win the football game. I mean, even Justin Tucker when he made a 66 yarder in Detroit. I mean, the Ravens needed that, or they would have lost, right?
Nestor Aparicio 25:59
So, what you’re also turning the ball over in your own territory, missing? Sure, yeah, but I just, but that just speaks it’s like getting punt blocked almost, kind of sort of a little bit and but
Luke Jones 26:11
it speaks to the confidence level they have in Brandon Aubrey. I mean, it’s the only thing they had going for them in the first half. But if you’re Dallas, but, but, yeah, I mean, it’s the difference. Here is one, if you kind of look at this, Justin Tucker, just about all of these misses are to the left. No, he’s not. It’s not as though this is a question of how much leg does he have left, right? This isn’t like Matt Stover coming up short on 48 yard field goals at the end of his career. This is something that seems either mechanical or, you know, whether it’s the Yips, whatever it might be, it’s just it’s something that’s not calibrated correctly. And again, it’s one thing if you’re talking about missing a 56 yarder, but it’s another thing if it’s from 53 or 52 and it’s surely another thing when you’re talking about it being from 46 the way that it was on Sunday, so again, it’s not being cut. It’s not time to bring in other kickers. But this needs to get remedied, because it does feel like it’s not just that it’s not getting better, that feels like it’s getting a little worse. And that’s where it’s fourth and
Nestor Aparicio 27:18
seven from the 34 this week at home, and they’re kicking into the Ray Lewis dance end zone. My my former seats at 513 are they kicking a 51 yarder or that? You know? I mean, I don’t against buffalo at at 845, when the lights are on and the mafia is there and everybody’s hammered, I don’t know, Luke, we’re gonna break I want to come back talk offense. I want to talk like you. And I fight so much about Lamar that I love it and and I think our audience deserves our our best shots on that and situational offense. I want to talk situational offense. I want to talk about tight ends. I want to talk about the old line give them the praise and and where we are with file Layla that Lamar chirping in the in the examination room. I was wondering whether that was Lamar or Chad Steele chirping off Mike in the post game because I wasn’t in the room in Texas, but we’re gonna be around all week examining all this Lucas. Here I am. Here the Orioles are in New York. We’re holding on for playoff games next week. That’s its own, its own bag of donuts, as we’d say, the Orioles and what happened over the weekend against the tigers, and where we are with pitching, and where we are with health, and where we are with all of that. Everything we’re doing here brought to you by friends at the Maryland lottery. In conjunction with our friends at Jiffy Lube MultiCare, we have the crab cake tour coming to Costas on Friday. I’m in the middle of eating oysters, like literally everywhere, and I’m now getting to the point where I’m going to these Gucci oyster joints, like true Chesapeake for brunch. And the girls there, who eat nothing but oysters, are like, what’s the best one you’ve had? And I’m like, you gotta go to Annapolis, this place called the Federal House, get the crabs of each a tell em I sent you. It is the Maryland oyster tour.
