Vinny Cerrato breaks down the film of the Ravens defense in their loss to the Bengals on Sunday with Bob Haynie. He touches on what was working for them in the first half, when the turning point was for them, and if their issues are fixable.
Transcript
00:00we all know what happened this past sunday at mt bank stadium not good 35 unanswered points in
00:06the second half ravens lose 35 13 fall to poor and three on the year oh and two in the
00:12division
00:13back at it this sunday in buffalo we'll get into that as the next couple hours into the next couple
00:19of days all get to us in reality but viddy let's get to that defense what the hell happened yeah
00:26well the first thing that when you look at it like defensively say why were they so good
00:32defensively in the first half bob it reminds me of like uh i want to say 2019 why were the
00:38ravens so
00:39great in the fourth quarter they had the ball for like 12 minutes and that's what happened here
00:45they had the ball 19 plays cincinnati did and what they have 59 yards so they they had an 18
00:53and a
00:5417 play driver 19 and an 18 play drive so they had the ball almost the whole half and the
01:00bangles
01:00dropped a pass on third down which would have been a first down so overall and then in the second
01:05half
01:05um it was just a comedy of errors missed assignments missed tackling i mean we can like and we were
01:16talking to cordell about wiggins wiggins was awful i'm totally disappointed he missed tackles let balls
01:22go over his head didn't play physical he don't play physical at all explain how they don't put
01:29weight you're on chase chase chase lined up uh or wiggins lined up on chase man to man head up
01:39and then doesn't touch him why the hell are you up there you know you're up there and press man
01:46to press get your hands because the easiest thing for a wide receiver i played wide receiver
01:52easiest thing for a wide receiver is free release and he got a free release what i used to hate
02:00when
02:00i was at iowa state we played oklahoma they get up your face knock the crap out of you i
02:05hated playing
02:06oklahoma because you were always it was never easy getting off the line of scrimmage
02:11and they make it simple and then what happens he backpedals wiggins and then chase runs a quick
02:20slant catches the ball easy you know next one wiggins has a chance to make a tackle misses the
02:26tackle you know he missed a couple tackles lets the ball go over his head he played like crap and
02:31then on the other side i just saw you know uh marlon humphrey on his podcast he says i missed
02:37three big
02:38tackles in that game he said i played bad you know i just want to turn the page you know
02:43so bob that's
02:45your two corners you know with a combined what five missed tackles between just your two corners
02:50but how did he look on film was he appropriate in his self-criticism oh absolutely yeah he was bad
02:57too
02:57both corners played bad you know when you're playing that's when i mean you got a rise to the occasion
03:04against that team too yes you know i mean yeah and then um malachi starks we didn't see
03:10you know he was and then uh hawkins what wallace played there and jackson played back there and
03:17um i didn't see you know i mean you didn't hear their names and they were well he was he
03:25was 16 of 18 in
03:26the second half for 250 yards so nobody in the secondary was doing yeah was doing much of of anything
03:33you know and trenton simpson really didn't hear his name much but the thing that was extremely
03:39disappointing was you know i guess with hawkins out kyle hamilton played back more which that's
03:48probably um i don't think he does anything bad but that's where you want him last i would think
03:56if i'm the defensive corner i want him close to the line of scrimmage almost playing like a linebacker
04:00where where i can you know where he can affect a lot of things and blitzing and stuff um so
04:06and then
04:07when you i hate when i see kyle hamilton in the secondary just going what looking at looking at malachi
04:14like the hell you know communication and he just even jesse mentioned communication and what does
04:20that do just brings you back to last year with all the miscommunication so that was an issue and then
04:27like in the run stuff bob i mean jenkins he gets high and driven i mean he's got no punch
04:36because we
04:36talk about punch lockout shed he got he catches he and calais they catch when uh because calais doesn't
04:45punch anybody in the run stuff he doesn't punch he catches you know and just wants to kind of hold
04:50on
04:51jenkins he gets knocked back so i mean that doesn't help your linebackers so i probably don't hear you
04:58know they only have eight tackles or seven tackles um i thought uh nam day he competed he got up
05:03in there
05:04he got some pressure and travis jones he he flashed you know and he can take two that kind of
05:10thing
05:11mike green did not we don't have a rusher on the left side that uh that can sniff a quarterback
05:17they can't there is nobody on the left side that even even got close you know except mike green on
05:26a
05:26stunt which was nice um hendrickson he was getting chipped and stuff a lot he got he got two quarterback
05:33hits but in the second half burrow was getting rid of the ball quick and the biggest thing they were
05:39doing was boom he's getting rid of it quick on first down they're getting eight yard they're second and
05:44two they never had a third and long in the second half that's how easy things were for them and
05:50that's
05:51what was so disappointing and um like who who made a play on defense and mike green made a play
05:59you know
06:00he got a sack in the first half guys made plays in the first half you know big hits guys
06:07were you know
06:07uh what wallace made a nice hit in the first half they were getting a lot of pressure a lot
06:13of a lot of
06:14pressure in the first half in the second half who made a play in the second half what was the
06:20key
06:20burrow getting the ball out quicker because they marched right down after struggling to do anything
06:26oh and the first half the bangles right yeah and you know marching to the end zone miss tackles
06:33is one that's one because they would catch it at like five and they'd get eighth
06:38and and it may not be a miss tackle but it wasn't a knock back tackle there was some yards
06:45yeah contact yeah so i mean it was and it didn't seem like in the second half bob they were
06:54playing
06:54with the same enthusiasm excitement and nastiness that they played in the first half they didn't
06:59look as fast in the second half as they did in the first half let's just say that so the
07:05confidence
07:06level was extremely high in the first half especially when your offense and you got the lead and then in
07:11the second half i mean i hate to keep saying it but it it just looks like here we go
07:16again and that
07:17and that's why i think that field goal was so important to take and get the lead going into the
07:22fourth
07:22corner hey it may not have lasted long but who knows if they make if somebody steps up and make
07:27a play when you're ahead boom then all of a sudden you're up you had an answer no yes and
07:32never did
07:32yep and you know that that's what was disappointing about the defense i just the um playmaking you know
07:42i mean just bob mental errors missed tackles and communication on the second half and what and
07:51it keeps happening in the second half well speaking of the second half we're going to break down the
07:55offensive film later in the show and they haven't scored a second half point three weeks so that's not
08:01going to be fun to listen to
