1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: Ian Didafthroduster, how are you?

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 2: What's going on? Hey? You guys doing.

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 3: We're doing good and we thank you for your time.

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 3: Of all the action, and I think overwhelmingly the majority

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 3: of those games over the weekend, we're outstanding. I could

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 3: do without the Chargers and the Patriots, especially in the

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: second half. But what things stood out to you were

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 3: there are a couple of things in the action this

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: weekend that really impressed you mostly, well.

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 2: I think a couple of things. One. You know, I

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: know we do this every year, but it is unbelievable

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: how many games come down to the last play or

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: a huge couple plays, and how that's really the difference

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: between who we like celebrate or not. And obviously this

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: was emphasized. You know, Raven Steelers to close the regular season,

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: one coach loses his job based on a kick. You know,

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: that's sort of what it's like. And then you know,

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: Christian Watson doesn't catch a pass on the goal line,

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: otherwise the Packers would have advanced and the Bears you know,

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: heartwarming story when it continue. I mean, I'm always amazed

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: at how it always does come down to a couple

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: of plays, but that onlets makes it so great, you know,

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: And then I think the other thing is, you know,

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 2: the the fortitude of some of these teams, like the Bears,

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: you know, down big, never blink, believe the whole time,

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: come back and win it. I mean, there's a lot

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: of fun football that we've seen. There's a lot of

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: fun football ahead. That was as good a week out

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: of football as honestly I can remember. And the fact

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: that we get to do it again tonight, it's pretty good.

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 4: And a great week of games. And this weekend the

32
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: Broncos would play host to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering because Alsie's alone, I mean, the national

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: viewpoint and narrative kind of looked at the Broncos a

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: little different with Josh Allen coming on this weekend. Do

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: you see it the same? Do you get the Broncos

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: a shot? Or this is a game that Josh Allen

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: I'd say that he can run away with it. But

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: this is kind of a legacy setting game for Josh Allen.

40
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: You know, I think every opportunity is a legacy setting

41
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: game for Josh Allen where it's like you know with

42
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks, he I mean, you know he's played big

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: in big moments, but like, I don't know that there's

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: as much at stake for bo Nicks. I think he'll

45
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: be back whatever it is. But I think for Josh Allen,

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: you know, the thought of like is he going to

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: break through? Is he going to get to the super Bowl?

48
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: Like that's all pretty real. So I do think it

49
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: exists for Josh Allen. The Broncs about an amazing season.

50
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: If I had to guess, I don't know this, but

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: if I had to guess, I would guess that most

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: of the experts will pick the Bills to win. That

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: is my thought. They're very talented, they got the magic

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: with Josh Allen, they could run the ball, you know,

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: could do a little better stuff in the room. But

56
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: they might get at Oliver back this week, which I

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: think would be a really huge deal. You know, I

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: don't know why, but it does feel like the Broncos

59
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: are playing with house money a little bit, just because

60
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: they've had such a magical regular season. But I imagine Sean

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: Payton is probably time that reminding him of what the

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: whole country takes him.

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm sure he is.

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked a little bit out at the at

65
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 5: the top of the show. So with the injuries that

66
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 5: they're dealing with. He saw the Gabe Davis news just

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 5: a little bit ago. What are you hearing on Josh

68
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 5: Allen who hurt his hand in the game. He was

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 5: coming into with a foot injury. He seemed like his

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 5: knee maybe got bent a weird way. I know he's

71
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 5: gonna play in the game, but what are the injury

72
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 5: situation for Buffalo.

73
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's not nothing. I mean the foot injury my understanding,

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: it's an irritated bone on the outside of his foot.

75
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: That's more of a pain talent issue, but still a thing.

76
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: He had a twisted knee which would probably end up

77
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: being like some sort of a sprain, but you know

78
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: he's gonna play. And then he has a sprain finger,

79
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: which it's just a finger. But like he looked if

80
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: you guys watched the game, he looked like he labored

81
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: throwing the ball a little bit, like it didn't look

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: natural and smooth. Not a big deal, but like when

83
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: you're playing against I don't know, I'll just make about

84
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: a thing. The best corner in the NFL. If the

85
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: ball floats a little bit, that's a big deal, so

86
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: like he's going to play. But I'm not going to

87
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: say it's nothing, because like all those help things are

88
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: all honestly pretty real.

89
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: Let's shift gears.

90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: New England last night got off to somewhat of a

91
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: slow start.

92
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: I thought they sort of cracked open the door for the.

93
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: Chargers the turnover, and the Chargers just weren't good enough.

94
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: I guess on offense to take advantage of it.

95
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: But what what do you?

96
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: Does your opinion change about New England going into last

97
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: night's game after you witnessed the game?

98
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: No, but I was reminded of how fierce their defense is.

99
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: You know, it was sort of like I thought it

100
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: would be, which is like hang around, hang around, be physical,

101
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: Drake maymix a couple of plays they went, That's kind

102
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: of what I thought. But yeah, defense, I mean they

103
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: kept coming after justin Herbert like geeze, like at the end.

104
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: I mean, think about how many he took in the

105
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: last like four minutes. I imagine besides a loss, I

106
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: imagine he feels awful this morning, and you know, when

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: it's cold and it's close and it's fears like though,

108
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: that sort of defensive grit I think matters a lot

109
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: I was. You know, it's funny because like it wasn't

110
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: a great game, it was pretty ugly. I still left

111
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: kind of impressed by what the Patriots put on the field.

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: I really did.

113
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: I did too.

114
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: So he had another exciting game and kylein Shanahan continues

115
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: to show that coaching actually matters. And you know, the

116
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 4: field of the Eagles with Kevin Batulo, they've had all

117
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 4: types of offensive issues, especially in the second half of the game.

118
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 4: But what does it say about John Lynch and Kylin

119
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 4: Shanahan what they've been able to do and accomplish with

120
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: the injuries and known as though George Killoo another guy

121
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: you added to that mass unit?

122
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean what specifically with Kyle Sharon. You know,

123
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: their roster's okay, but I think specifically what Kyle Shanahan

124
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: has done is amazing, and you know, he's as good

125
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: as it gets on the offensive side. And when they

126
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: added Robert Sala, it was like, I like, this could

127
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: be really really good now, you know. Injury luck is

128
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's random or not, but sort

129
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: of hit you in different ways. You know, losing you're

130
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: never having Brandon Nyuk, losing Nick Bosa. You lose Fred Warner,

131
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: now you lose George Kiddo. Like, I kind of wish

132
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: I could see what this team would have been, you know, like,

133
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: are they gonna have enough next week? Like, I don't know,

134
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: it's you know, that's it's a tall task and it's

135
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: a lot to overcome. Now they don't, but it's a

136
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: lot to overcome. So we'll see if their story can continue.

137
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: But like, it is unbelievable that you watch forty nine

138
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: Ers games and you'll see Brockberty complete some pass down

139
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: the field and you'll constantly be like, who is that? Like, oh,

140
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: that's Robinson? Okay, interesting, you know, like that happens a lot.

141
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: And that's because they're so good at they're so well coached.

142
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: They put their.

143
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: Guys in a position to succeed all the time.

144
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: On the other side of the ball, of course, as

145
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: there typically is, there's a loser here. So what's going

146
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: to be for the Eagles the next move? Here? A J.

147
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: Brown?

148
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 5: Is he going to be back? Here's it going to be?

149
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 5: Changes with the coordinator?

150
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: Uh?

151
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: Well, how's he is on? Nick Sirianni after this one?

152
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: I mean he did win the Super Bowl last year?

153
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: So I think he's he's okay, but you know there's

154
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: gonna be some changes. Patool would be the one I

155
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: would you know, I think most people view that as

156
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: in doubt. We'll say, I think that would make the

157
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: most sense, and then you know Ken AJ Brown and

158
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: Ken Jalen Hurts co exist next year. There was a

159
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: lot this year. I mean it was a lot, and

160
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: to get rid of Aj it's expensive because cap wise,

161
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: you know, I would say, you know, it's hard to do.

162
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: So you know, obviously we're going to be monitoring, keeping

163
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: our eye on it. But I would be surprised if

164
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: it is status quo.

165
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 4: Well, we know there's been a lot of conversation. No

166
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: one's kind of signed any deals as of yet, but

167
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,239
Speaker 4: we know the carousel of coaches we're in that particular window.

168
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 4: Have you heard any more about you know, Darren Rizzy,

169
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: Davis Webb, or any other news about Vance Joseph as

170
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: far as head coaching opportunities, You.

171
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: Know, I think Vance is going to be in play

172
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: in several places. You know. The Raiders would be an

173
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: interesting one. They interviewed you know, Davis two, so you wonder, like,

174
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: are they looking at both of them? One as oc

175
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: one as head coach. You know I would say, uh,

176
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: definitely something to keep an eye on. And you know,

177
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: I would be surprised if everyone's back because I think

178
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: Vance would be a fantastic head coach. But obviously we'll

179
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: be keeping our eye on it.

180
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Ian always appreciated and will check with you next week.

181
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: Thanks you guys.

182
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: Thanks Ian Rappaport
