Your receivers, they got to know when it's a better deal to go down at the one yard line for your team.

And your running backs need to know that.

They have to be thinking about it.

It can't just be you put the code word in the huddle.

They have to really be able to think about it.

And I don't think we've seen that from the Ravens.

Yeah, a little bit.

He was definitely the leader in the aggression.

Started about 2015 when the Ravens had a lousy year.

He was more aggressive, which was completely appropriate.

I don't want to wax mathematically philosophical with you about why it might be better to not take as much risk when you're the better team.

But in 2019, they were super aggressive on fourth down.

They made a lot of them and it helped them really dominate play count.

One of the problems you asked me about or in the defense, they're tired as hell this year.

They lost play count by a ton because the offense wasn't particularly efficient.

They were losing a lot of their lost a lot of their misdirection weapons.

So they

they didn't have that nice advantage in snap count.

Um, but in the, in the last few years, he's become less.

So he's near the bottom of the league in terms of going forward on fourth down.
