Word on the Street: A Baltimore Sports Short Podcast

Nikhil Mehta and Ronald Tooth break down the Ravens' biggest offseason needs with Ben Dackiw, with some targets for the Ravens in both free agency and the 2022 NFL Draft!

I don’t understand why some believe, that creating controversy with half-truths or blatant disrespect for their targets are the behaviors of talk show hosts “doing their jobs”.

Join Nikhil Mehta and Ronald Toothe for another edition of Russell Street Replay. This week, we're handing out the NFL's end-of-season awards to both the Ravens and across NFL at-large, with some shout-outs for our favorite rookies and coaches!

In this episode Brian & Tony discuss:

* Is Lamar's extension inevitable?

* What are the pros and cons of void years?

* By comparison are the Ravens and Steve Bisciotti cheap?

* Did the Ravens get value in the Orlando Brown, Jr. trade?

Join Nikhil Mehta and Taylor Lyons as they find the bright spots in another disappointing loss for the Ravens, with some discussion about Greg Roman and a look ahead at the potential 2022 roster and schedule.

James Ogden, Dev Panchwagh and Tony Lombardi discuss what has changed since the last time the Ravens and Steelers collided at Heinz Field on December 5 and what Baltimore will need to do in order to end Ben Roethlisberger's career with a loss at M&T Bank Stadium. Also discussed is the idea of honoring Big Ben. Are you down with that?

The guys also take on a couple of topics that are near and dear to the hearts of fans:

1. Has Greg Roman run his course in Baltimore?

2. Wink Martindale suggested that sacks are overrated. The crew from RSR dives in to prove why Wink is right!
