"Lamar and I never had an issue I don't know where that comes from. I never saw lamar and coach Harbaugh not have a great relationship"
Former Ravens OC Todd Monken addressed the rumors surrounding his relationship with Lamar Jackson.
Wanted to give a moment of gratitude before we started today's show for all the veterans out there.
Thank you for all you've done and all you continue to do!
I loved Preston Mattingly's comments about "the athlete coming back"
Especially for kids, I think it's about being a well rounded athlete and not just specializing at one sport early.
The benefits you'll get from it down the line will make you a better player.
"As the play goes on he loses his leverage, he just moves too far outside... what happens here is he let him beat him inside, now you have a catch and run."
Former NFL OC Scott Turner broke down what happened on Parker Washington's long TD before half.
"Just him being able to push, and he doesn't get a ton of movement but he at least covers his guy up... because he's able to turn his shoulders now, the back is able to make that cut"

Osi Umenyiora says he discovered Tom Brady's pre snap cadence and knew when he was going to snap the ball ahead of Super Bowl XLII, and says it allowed the Giants defensive line to dominate the game with 5 sacks and 20 hurries
“But as I was watching the tape, because you have two weeks leading up to the game, I noticed that Tom Brady would come up to the line of scrimmage. And this is real information I’m giving you here, worth millions of dollars. I’m giving it to you right now. And there’s people recording this to pass it on to their players.”
“But what I noticed was he would come up to the line of scrimmage and he would say ‘hut,’ which is telling the center to snap him the ball. So what he was doing was he would come up to the line of scrimmage, and before he said that, he was pointing at somebody, maybe somebody on the opposing side. And if he didn’t point at that person, that means they weren’t going to snap the ball. But if he did point at that person, the ball was coming as soon as he said ‘hut.’”
“So after I watched this, I studied this for literally a week. I went back, I watched all the games, and he was doing the exact same thing, but nobody had figured it out. So I saw that, and I went and gathered the whole defense, and I was like, ‘Listen, this is what this man is doing.’ If you know when the ball is being snapped as a defensive line, you are at a tremendous advantage over the offensive lineman because they’re relying on you not knowing.”
“Because if you don’t know, that means you’re going to be late. But if you do know, you’re going to beat them almost every time. And so as soon as I figured this out, I gathered the whole defensive line. I was like, ‘Listen, this is what Tom Brady’s doing.’”
“Now we all started to watch this together, and we saw this was 100%. It wasn’t even like 80. This was 100%. So now we knew going into that game that, as a defensive line, we were going to be able to overwhelm them offensively simply because of that one thing that I had pointed out.”
“And we went into the game and we sacked him like five times, hit him like 20 times. They couldn’t understand how we were getting off the ball and getting to him that fast. And it was simply because, for two weeks prior, I just sat there and I had watched what this one person was doing, and that gave us the mental advantage going into the game. We knew we were going to win that game even though nobody else did, because we knew something that they didn’t know, and nobody else knew that we knew.”
How difficult is it for an offensive lineman to change positions in the middle of the season?
Former NFL OC Scott Turner answers @HoodieRamey's question:
"I think moving from center to one of the guards is a little easier than going from like right guard to left guard."
"Marlon Humphrey just thought the play was kind of over... His eyes are in the backfield and he needs to be continuing to get depth and stay deeper than the deepest offensive player."

Former NFL OC Scott Turner broke down a few plays from new Ravens OL Ryan Neuzil:
"This is a really good job here... When he knocks that 3 technique, that creates the hole then he goes up and gets on the 2nd level defender just enough that now Bijan can accelerate and get through there."
Sal Stewart won the NL Rookie of The Year last night and I think he was more than deserving.
"I don't care about the WAR or the metrics, that dude knows how to drive guys in... his role is to be an offensive threat."
