4.5 out of 5 stars from 85 ratings
  • A New Fan’s Perspective

    Five stars for the crew at the Banner. To give some context, I’m pretty new to the world of football. I grew up much more focused on music and the arts than the gridiron, so outside of the occasional Super Bowl party, I was largely ignorant of the sport. That changed recently because football became a major way for me to bond with my partner and our kids. While they enjoy the game in general, I’m the one who gravitated toward Baltimore over the last three seasons and officially joined the Flock.... more

  • Shout out from Montgomery Blair

    I am old enough to remember when the Colts left town, and have been a diehard ravens fan since ‘96. The Banner’s coverage, and this pod in particular, is second to none. Insightful, witty, data informed, and timely, I look forward to your podcasts all the time. As principal of Montgomery Blair, special shout out to Jonas. Once a Blazer, always a Blazer!

  • Not great

    Professional and good information overall but can be incredibly frustrating to listen to. Both Paul and Jonas both tend to take a negative spin on every thing. Jonas also comes across as snooty with a vocabulary like his favorite book to read is a thesaurus and his sardonic tone with everything. Not sure why we’re trying so hard to sound like an intellectual when it’s a podcast about football. Would be better if either of the guys sounded like they actually enjoyed covering this team or football... more

  • Love the content

    I’ve been listening to this broadcast for a couple years now and thoroughly enjoy it. The only reason for a 4 star review and not 5 is your addition of Giana Han. She is difficult to listen to, her audio is of a lower quality than the rest of you and her constant nervous chuckling/laugh is very annoying. I’m not sure I can continue to enjoy your content if she remains. Sarah Ellison is much more enjoyable and knowledgeable on another podcast if Giana continues.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Biggest roster decisions looming over final preseason game
Q: Do they keep four running backs or go with three and keep the extra cornerback?
The hosts expect four running backs to make the roster, citing depth on special teams and the need for a reliable option behind the top backs, while noting key players like Rashin Ali and Adam Randall as potential candidates for deeper roles.
Danny Pinter carted off field in joint practices against Vikings
Q: What can you tell us about Danny Pinter's injury?
Pinter apparently suffered a leg/center-related issue during 11 on 11 vs Vikings, looked serious on the cart with a leg brace, and he was taken for testing. The team hadn't provided a full update yet, so the status remained uncertain at the time of discussion.
Kyle Youmans is ready to make big calls as the "Voice of the Ravens"
Q: Do you feel like you're the Voice of the Ravens first, second, or third in line, given the broader media strategy?
Kyle explains the evolving role as leading Ravens-owned programming across video, radio, and podcast content, while acknowledging continuity with Jerry Sandusky's legacy and focusing on building a broader, more integrated media presence.
Kyle Youmans is ready to make big calls as the "Voice of the Ravens"
Q: Kyle, what was the interview process like and how intensive was it? How many hours did you dedicate to preparing for this?
The process was extensive but quick, with multiple rounds, reels, and in-person interviews; preparation involved refining a Ravens-specific demo reel, studying team history, and presenting detailed play-by-play charts to demonstrate readiness for the role.
Mocking all 11 Ravens draft picks: Who goes at No. 14?
Q: What is the likely impact of Namdi Matabeke's neck surgery on the Ravens' draft strategy?
The group suggests the news introduces a potential 'smoke screen' around the draft, prompting consideration of risk vs. reward on players who can contribute in 2026, while not overreacting to a possible long-term injury; it may push the Ravens toward safer, high-floor picks or prompt a calculated trade-up/down depending on how medicals are perceived.
