The podcast is here for you guys with a big time Wednesday episode. This one comes in the wake of the Ravens making their biggest mid-season move in recent memory. That would of course be the acquisition of Marcus Peters, which saw them flip Kenny Young and a fifth rounder for the pro bowl cornerback. The guys discuss that and much more thanks to several mailbag submissions and other general topics from around the league to cover, including the Rams grabbing Jalen Ramsey in the aftermath of the Peters trade. Stay tuned for Friday's episode which will be a preview of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks in Seattle.

The guys are back for the third times this week (getting sick of us yet?) this time to preview the Ravens week 6 matchup as the Bengals are coming into town. At 0-5, Cincy seems pretty hapless, but is there reason to believe they could give the Ravens a game on Sunday? Potentially. The guys get into that and break down why in taking a look at the offense, defense, coaching decisions, and even special teams. Also, stay tuned for plenty of hearty discussions on just what it means to have sauce as an NFL player, and if the Ravens need a bit more sauce on their roster (yes, it gets a bit loopy).

The boys are back after a huge win pushes the Ravens to 3-2. Baltimore went into Heinz Field needing a win after two losses in a row had their season very much in doubt. The Ravens got the much needed victory, though it was very much light on style points. Jake and Spencer are here to break that down for you by first going through the Sunday night mailbag, and then welcoming on a special guest. Baltimore Beatdown managing editor Kyle P. Barber joins the show in the second half to help the guys parse through this one. They touch on the offense, the defense, and some other general topics (such as the horrible officiating in today's game) and talk through some other stuff such as Tony Jefferson's season ending injury.

Time to reset - the Ravens are coming off of a demoralizing loss at home to Cleveland in week 4, and now face a critical matchup with the Steelers at Heinz Field in which big time divisional stakes are on the line.

As a result, many Ravens fans are probably wondering just how they should feel about this game. Not to worry! Jake and Spencer are here to give you the preview you need to gauge your thoughts on this one and more. Before they get into that, they open the weekly mailbag and answer your guys' questions as is tradition. We really hope you guys enjoy this one and hope you'll again tune in on Monday after the game.
