But first, let's talk about some people on 22 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: teams that did not make the postseason and the fallout 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: from it, starting out in Tampa, where head coach Todd 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: Bowles told the Tampa Bay Times today he will. 25 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 3: Return as Bucks coach. In twenty twenty. 26 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: Six, Bulls led TAMPAA three straight NC South titles before 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: falling short on tiebreakers at eight to nine. This season, 28 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: he told the Times he will make some staff changes. 29 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: No official statement from the team yet on Bowls status. 30 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 4: Judy Heaven Stefanski, who was fired this week by the 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns, is already out there on the job interview circuit. 32 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 4: He met with the New York Giants last night. He 33 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 4: had dinner with general manager Joe Shane. Today he met 34 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 4: for an interview. The former two time Coach of the 35 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: Year also has an interview schedules with the Tennessee Titans. 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 4: There are expected to be others interested in talking to Stefanski. 37 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 4: He's certainly seen as one of the strongest candidates he 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 4: and in this cycle, maybe right behind John Harbaugh. 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 5: A lot of coaches in this cycle, former head coaches, 40 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 5: A couple of hot coordinators keep an eye on as well, 41 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 5: including that guy right there, not a household name, but 42 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 5: about to be considering that Clint Kubiak is the offensive 43 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 5: coordinator for the number one seed in the NFC, requested 44 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 5: to interview by the Baltimore Ravens and four other teams. 45 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 5: Going to interview with the Raiders. I believe that's on Friday, 46 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 5: So Friday Saturday his window. Anthony Weaver the defensive coordinator 47 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 5: for the Miami Dolphins. He has several requests as well, 48 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 5: has had interviews in the last several cycles. 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: This one no different. 50 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 5: Ravens, who obviously familiar with him from his time there, 51 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 5: Cardinals and Falcons are on Anthony Weavers dance card. 52 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Tom did we mention we had six wild card playoff 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: games coming up this weekend, of course, the aforementioned Packers 54 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: Bears game. We've got a tripleheader on Sunday, Texan Steelers 55 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: wrapping things up on Monday night, but it all kicks 56 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: off on Saturday afternoon, a rematch with the Rams and 57 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: the Panthers, who were just a few weeks. 58 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 3: Removed from upsetting LA. 59 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: This time around, it appears they'll have to deal with 60 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: Devonte Adams. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, 61 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: hasn't played since week fifteen because of a hamstring injury. 62 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: But Adam's back on the field now a full participant, 63 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: really good. Signed for his availability on Saturday against Carolina, and. 64 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 5: Josh Allen also a full participant for the Buffalo, though 65 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 5: is not a hamstring it's been a foot injury that 66 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 5: actually has been bothering him for I think about a 67 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 5: month it has been. He's got x rays after the 68 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 5: last couple of games, didn't play barely at all last week. 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: Now it's playoff time. 70 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 5: Rested extensively last week, got barely any playing time. He 71 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 5: is good to go for the Buffalo Bills, and that 72 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 5: is an excellent sign considering his superpower isn't just his 73 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 5: arm duty, it's how he runs, and as far as 74 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 5: I can tell, feet are very important to players running. 75 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: So he should be able to do that. This weekend. 76 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: Injuries with the story of the season for the forty 77 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 4: nine ers, and unfortunately that continues all worlds left tackle 78 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 4: Trent Williams, who's dealing with a hamstring injury, and receiver 79 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: Ricky Pearsall who has knee and ankle injuries. Neither of 80 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 4: them practice today. That cast their availability for the Sunday 81 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 4: Wildcard game against the Eagles. 82 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: In some doubt. 83 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 4: Kyle Shannon is hopeful they will be able to get 84 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 4: some work in tomorrow. He did acknowledge that Pearsall aggravated 85 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 4: his PCO during the week seventeen games, so they are 86 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 4: in the same boat. We will see if they can 87 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 4: get out there. That would certainly be a significant blow 88 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 4: for the Niners if they cannot go on Sunday against 89 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 4: the Eagles. 90 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 6: You're built aldest rivalry. Those two cities don't like each other, 91 00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 6: he said. 92 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 7: Vance I'll just want you to know you better have 93 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 7: your team ready because we're gonna. 94 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: Kick your ass. 95 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: I mean, is that everything, But it's the only thing, 96 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: the oppression. 97 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: We're gonna be. 98 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: I like that about it. 99 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 6: There's a wader again. 100 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 8: Head off the furry r. You could have a complete 101 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 8: losing season, but if you meet the Bears, that ways 102 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 8: your season. 103 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: We're gonna separate the men from the boys. 104 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 7: We're gonna find out who really wants to play this 105 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 7: game and who. 106 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 3: Does not. 107 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: These days, but I got them right there watching that 108 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: Montage Bears Packers. No rivalry has been played more often 109 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: Brian Baldiger, And here they are for the third time 110 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: this season, going at it in a playoff game. And 111 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: Prime Time break this battle down. For me, it's only 112 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: you can bone well. 113 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 9: I mean, this is a true rubber match, and the 114 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 9: way you define a rubber match. You know, the winner 115 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 9: moves on the loser home. That's the definition of a 116 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 9: rubber match. Both have won one, both tight games. You 117 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 9: look at the stashdown, they were almost even in all games. 118 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 9: What separated the first game from the second game really 119 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 9: was the big plays in the passing game. You know, 120 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 9: in the first game, you know, I thought that Christian 121 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 9: Watson had some big plays almost one hundred yards. He 122 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 9: had the big forty one yard touchdown against him, and 123 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 9: that was a big play in the game. You know, 124 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 9: you're looking at bou Melton right there with the big play. 125 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 9: So I thought the pass game. And then really in 126 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 9: the Bears comeback, it was a big game by Dj Moore. 127 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 9: Of course he had the game winner, the forty six 128 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 9: yarder in overtime. And so I feel like, why wouldn't 129 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 9: that still separate the two that both teams are going 130 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 9: to try to run the ball. Both teams will probably 131 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 9: be pretty effective with pretty good run games, but the 132 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 9: explosive plays, the big plays come out of the passing 133 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 9: game and who's gonna be those guys. Is it gonna 134 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 9: be Luther Burton? Is it gonna be Za Kias right here? 135 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 9: Is it gonna be Dj Moore? 136 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: For Green Bay? 137 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 9: Is gonna be Romeo Dobbs, is going to be Watson? 138 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 9: You know who's going to step up in the passing 139 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 9: game right now? And I think that's really going to 140 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 9: separate it. Because the Bears lead the league in interceptions. 141 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 9: They know the ball's going to be in the air, 142 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 9: and Jordan Love has got a great arm and a 143 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 9: lot of receivers, So I kind of feel like that's 144 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 9: going to separate who's going to step up in the 145 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 9: receiving in the passing game to make the big plays 146 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 9: when it counts The most. 147 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: Tonna are Good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance. The Eagles 148 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: have allowed fifteen point six points per game since Week ten, 149 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: That is the fewest in the NFL, and they have 150 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: at least one takeaway in nine consecutive games, the second 151 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: longest active streak behind the Bears, who have done it 152 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: in ten. 153 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: This week, the Eagles take on. 154 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers, who had a shot at the 155 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: number one seed. And when you come up short in 156 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: a division like the NFC West of the number one seed, 157 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're a wild card going to 158 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: one of the tougher places in the NFL to win, 159 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: and that is in Philadelphia against the defending champs. 160 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: You can see that game four. 161 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: Thirty pm Eastern time on Sunday on Fox. You can 162 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: see our guys, Steve Whitz right here with me, Tom 163 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: Pelisero on the Insiders, Steve forty nine Ers Eagles. We've 164 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: seen these types of mattrics in the past. Both these teams. 165 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: The identity feels like it's similar. 166 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: What do you expect? 167 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, this is new a significant chess match between the 168 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 10: Eagles defensive coording of Vic Fangio and then Kyle Shanahan, the. 169 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 2: Head coach in OC for San Francisco. But for San 170 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: Francisco to have. 171 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 10: Any success offensively and actually through the game, it has 172 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 10: got to sustain some eight, nine and ten place scoring drives. Well, 173 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 10: how can they do that against that defense that you 174 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 10: just talked about, and maybe without left tackle Trent Williams. 175 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 10: They've got to work their intermediate passing game. They've got 176 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 10: to get the ball to Christian McCaffrey. In that passing game, 177 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 10: They've got some advantages against the Eagles linebackers. You can 178 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 10: do it with McCaffrey off tackle here in the run, 179 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 10: but with their tight ends right with Tanjas, with Kittle, 180 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 10: Kyle hughescheck in some of those matchups as well, and 181 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 10: death by paper cut occupy the clock. They cannot allow 182 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 10: their defense to go up to stay on the field 183 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 10: too long against the Philadelphia Eagles because as we saw 184 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 10: last week, they are prone and very susceptible against the 185 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 10: explosive play in the run game, and they are favorable 186 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 10: matchups by the Eagles with their passing game on the perimeter. 187 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 10: So again San Francisco brought perty on the move. McCaffrey here, 188 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 10: Kittle there, tanj just Juwan Jennings. They've got to spread 189 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 10: it out, but take advantage into the intermediate part of 190 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 10: the field for them to have offensive success and to 191 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 10: keep the Eagles from getting the ball. 192 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: The Eagles forty nine Ers Sunday on Fox. Steve, thank 193 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: you very much, Judy. 194 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: All right, this is the game that's going to kick 195 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 4: off wildcard weekend Rams Panthers. This is the rematch of 196 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 4: the regular season game. This is Saturday, four thirty eastern 197 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 4: on Fox. 198 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: Again. 199 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 4: This starts the whole wild card weekend. Let's bring in 200 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: our Sarah Walshoe I believe is going to be at 201 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: this game, so she doesn't even need the TV information, 202 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 4: and Baldy is back as well. 203 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 7: Sarah. 204 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 4: Let me start with you because this is a short week. 205 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 4: It's a Saturday afternoon game and a really long flight 206 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 4: for the Rams. What's their week of preparation looking like. 207 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 11: Well, Matthew Stafford was asked this week why they have 208 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 11: had such success on short weeks and he joke, well, 209 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 11: it's because they got a young quarterback. 210 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: That helps. 211 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 11: Kidding aside, and you know they they landed in London 212 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 11: and they were there for really almost about twenty four hours, 213 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 11: and then they throttled the Jaguars in that game. And 214 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 11: this is a team Sean mcva says, they like to 215 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 11: get up and you go. 216 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: He says that he likes these East Coast windows. 217 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,359 Speaker 11: Now it helps that his thirty seven years young quarterback 218 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 11: Matthew Stafford is going to be getting DeVante Adams back, 219 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 11: you guys were talking about at the top of the show. 220 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 11: He has missed the last three games because of that 221 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 11: hamstring injury. Adam says he doesn't believe that a couple 222 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 11: of weeks off is going to deteriorate the success that 223 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 11: he and Stafford have had this season. And for his part, 224 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 11: Stafford said he just kind of has to throw it 225 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 11: in the ballpark of Adams and let him go get it. 226 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 11: These two teams met back in week thirteen back in 227 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 11: Carolina and Stafford was asked what he would like to 228 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 11: do differently from that game, which was a Rams lost, 229 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 11: and he said, not throw it to the other team. 230 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 11: He was picked twice in that one also had a 231 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 11: strip stack of him to end the game. So they're 232 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 11: going to get a redo, Baldy when it matters the most. 233 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 9: You It's interesting, Sarah that we're watching DeVante Adams for 234 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 9: much of the clip while you were talking, because he's 235 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 9: been out for the last month. And I've never talked 236 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 9: to Davante early this season when he was having instant 237 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 9: success with Stafford after not really practicing at all all preseason, 238 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 9: when Stafford was out with that back injury, and I 239 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 9: just asked him, like, how you had such instant chemistry. 240 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: I mean, he still leaves the league with fourteen. 241 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 9: Touchdown catches, not playing the last three games, and he said, 242 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 9: you know, we're just veteran guys. We talked every day 243 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 9: about scenarios, releases, places on the field. 244 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 3: I mean you get down to the five yard line. 245 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's great to have Pukinnakua, but it's also great 246 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 9: to have Davante on the other side. And it's been 247 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 9: a while now since we've seen both those guys out 248 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 9: there together, and gives Stamford a staff for those opportunities. 249 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 9: We know the tight ends have been clutched all year long, 250 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 9: but getting Davante back for this offense, I think it 251 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 9: gives them a spark that they that they've really had 252 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 9: been missing the last couple of weeks. 253 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 3: That especially in a couple of those close losses. 254 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 4: Sarah, you mentioned the Week thirteen Panthers victory. They put 255 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: up thirty one points on the Rams that week. But 256 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: the Panthers have one of the lowest rated offenses in 257 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 4: the league. They're going against the number one defense in 258 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 4: the Rams. What do we expect from Bryce Young and 259 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: the Panthers offense. 260 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 11: Let's go around, Well, that Week thirteen game you reference, 261 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 11: Bryce Young was completely lights out in that game, and 262 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 11: he was asked repeatedly this week how he feels about 263 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 11: once again being the underdog to the Rams by double digits, 264 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 11: and he said he doesn't care. He told us that 265 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 11: confidence comes from within that building, that they trust each other, 266 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 11: that they don't need to look at anything external for 267 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 11: any kind of motivation, and when you want to look internally, 268 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 11: here's where things are looking up for the Pan. They 269 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 11: are expected and are on track to get Robert Hunt, 270 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 11: their Pro Bowl lineman, back this week. He has been 271 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 11: out since Week two with that foreign biceps. The game 272 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 11: that they beat the Rams, they were missing three key 273 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 11: defensive players in Trayvon Marrek J C. Horne, they were 274 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 11: missing Christian Rosewoom. Those guys are all back in action. 275 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 11: As for Bryce Young making his first postseason appearance, I 276 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 11: was talking to Byron Young on the Rams. He's their 277 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 11: sack leader. He faced Bryce Young in college twice. He 278 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 11: said they hit him again and again and again when 279 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 11: he was at Tennessee and Bryce was at Alabama, and 280 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 11: he said, this guy just stood there and delivered every 281 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 11: single time. He's like, I put hits on this guy 282 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 11: and he shouldn't have got up, and I would just 283 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 11: look at him, and this guy kept getting up. He said, 284 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 11: I have mad respect. 285 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: That is from one Young to another. 286 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 11: But you better believe the Young on the Rams is 287 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 11: going to try and get after him once again. 288 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: But it is tough to rattle this guy. Baldy. 289 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 11: He is calm, he is cool, He has collected even 290 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 11: when they are down, Bryce Young has found ways to 291 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 11: fight back this year. 292 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 9: Well, he was awesome in that earlier win against the 293 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 9: Ramsey threw three touchdowns. We showed them all to jail 294 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 9: and cocher Teed McMillan and to Rico Dudell. But getting 295 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 9: Robert Hunt back, I mean, just talking to guys in 296 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 9: Carolina a couple of weeks ago before the Seattle game, 297 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 9: I mean he's one of the best run blockers in 298 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 9: the league. Their running game takes off when Robert Hunt. 299 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 9: I mean literally, he's a highway that they run behind. 300 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 9: If he gets out there and he's up to form. 301 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 9: By the way, he's four feet wide, he takes up 302 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 9: a lot of space and he's a great run blocker. 303 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: Their run game will pick up. 304 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 9: And those guys inside, Kobe Turner, some of those guys 305 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 9: by Young, all those guys will get tested. If Robert 306 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 9: hunts on his game and he gets that John Deere 307 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 9: tractor going up front, the running game will. 308 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 4: Approve Panther's offense versus a top ten scoring defense in 309 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 4: the Rams. Sarah Baldi, thank you very much. 310 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: Ian. 311 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 5: With all that's gone on in the NFL world, this 312 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 5: seems like a million years ago, but don't forget it 313 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 5: was one of the most dramatic games we saw this year, 314 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 5: one of the most dramatic games we've seen in some time. 315 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 5: Tyler Loop wide right. John Harbaugh ends up losing his job. 316 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 5: The Pittsburgh Steelers get to celebrate, setting up this matchup 317 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 5: Steelers Texans with the largest age gap between starting quarters. 318 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: I mean, look at this, it's all Tom Brady. 319 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 5: I mean, are there other ways for us to show 320 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 5: that Tom Brady was so old and some of the 321 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 5: people that he played were so young. Anyway, Welcome to 322 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 5: the party, Aaron Rodgers and CJ. 323 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: Stroud. 324 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 5: So let's get into this game right here. I want 325 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 5: to welcome in Bucky, Bucky. This is a fantastic matchup 326 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 5: on ESPN and ABC Monday Night Football. 327 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: Steelers Texans. 328 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 5: One of the nastiest defenses in the NFL, maybe the nastiest. 329 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,479 Speaker 2: I'm biased. I love watching Matt Burks unit. 330 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 5: Take us through what this Texans defense has and what 331 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 5: they're going to show us in this matchup. 332 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 12: Well, if you know the Texans defense, you know they 333 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 12: operate with a swore mentality. They want to run to 334 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 12: the ball, they want to knock people out when they 335 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 12: get there. And one of the things that they want 336 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 12: to do against the Pittsburgh Steelers they want to make 337 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 12: Aaron Rodgers uncomfortable in the pocket. When we saw Aaron 338 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 12: Rodgers on Sunday Night football have arguably the best game 339 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 12: that he's had in the Stiller's uniform, it was because 340 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 12: he was comfortable, didn't get touched, was able to operate 341 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 12: from a clean pocket. That allowed him to deliver the 342 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 12: ball to Pat Fronmouth and Adam Thielen and Calvin Austin. 343 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 12: With DK Metcalf coming back, the Texans have to get 344 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 12: bidies around him. Did Neil Hunter, Will Anderson Junior. They 345 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 12: have to be major factors because for the Texans, they 346 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 12: want to rush for keep seven in coverage, make things 347 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 12: sticky on the outside. 348 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 13: But it starts with knocketing Aaron Rodgers around. 349 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 12: If they're able to disrupt the rhythm in the timing 350 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 12: of the passing game by getting around Aaron Rodgers, it's 351 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 12: gonna be hard for Pittsburgh to hit that twenty point mark. 352 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 12: Remember the Texans hold most appointments to under twenty. For 353 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 12: the Stellers to get this, it's gonna take explosive place 354 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 12: and that requires a clean pocket for Aaron Rodgers to 355 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 12: get it done. 356 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 5: Well, and you mentioned it, but having dk metcalp back 357 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 5: missed the last two games with the suspension just an 358 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 5: unbelievable boost for this Steelers offense. 359 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: That got it done. 360 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 5: Definitely got it done, but I think needs a little juice. 361 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 5: They are going to get that, not this weekend, but 362 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 5: on Monday night. Bucky, great stuff as always, thank you. 363 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 5: I cannot wait for that matchup. And then to the 364 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 5: news we saw early in the week. There was a 365 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 5: lot of it and there was some of it, most 366 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 5: recently John Harbaugh losing his job after eighteen seasons. We 367 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 5: have plenty more on that, including talking to someone very 368 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 5: close to him. 369 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 14: Coming to next by the Inside. 370 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Insiders presented by Progressive Insurance.

John Harbaugh 372 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 4: no longer the coach of the Baltimore Ravens, fired yesterday. 373 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 4: He is drawing plenty of interest elsewhere though. Here's his brother, 374 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 4: Jim Harbaugh on John's firing. 375 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 8: John John Harbaugh is the best coach I know, best 376 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 8: coach I've ever seen. And you may say, Okay, well 377 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 8: I'm his brother, so I might be biased, but uh well, 378 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 8: then you have somebody like Tony Dungee. Wouldn't we all 379 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 8: like that? You know, wouldn't we all like somebody like 380 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 8: Tony Dungee, especially Tony Dungee himself too, you know, say that. 381 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 8: It's just it's it's great, you know, seeing that kind 382 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 8: of outpouring and of support and also just just so 383 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 8: cool see all my brother's accomplishments, you know, and be 384 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 8: and be recognized for that.

And I just 387 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 8: hope it's in the NFC. 388 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 4: Love that all right. Here are the openings. There are 389 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 4: seven now you see them, Ravens, Giants, Browns, Falcons, Cardinals, Titans, Raiders. 390 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 4: Interviews are already starting, lots of requests are already in. 391 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 13: We are here to help. 392 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 4: We want to give some advice to whoever lands these jobs. 393 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 4: What should be their first order of business? How do 394 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 4: you reset these franchises. Some of them need a bigger 395 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 4: reset than others. Quite frankly, I've got my guys, Steve 396 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 4: Bucky Baldy here to give us some answers. 397 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 13: All right, Steve, I will start with you on the Ravens. 398 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 4: If you got that job, put on your coach's hat 399 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 4: or with soul or whatever coaches put on. What would 400 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 4: be your first order of business at the Ravens. 401 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 10: Well, first, dude, this is the least reset that has 402 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 10: to go on because the culture is already established and 403 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 10: I'm coming in and win now mo. This is not 404 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 10: a redevelopment mode. So win now MO. When I've got Lamar, 405 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 10: when I've got Mark Andrews and Ronnie Stanley and Zay 406 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 10: Flowers with the offensive line, I'm addressing that first. 407 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: We've got to get tougher. 408 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 10: Whether it's a personnel or attitude, we are going to 409 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 10: get tougher because running the football is going to be 410 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 10: the priority. A little too, my, it's mixed finesse in 411 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 10: there that I'm meeting with Lamar. What do you want 412 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 10: you to get better? Here's what I want you to 413 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 10: get better. It will be our way, not anybody's way, 414 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 10: but the team's way. 415 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 4: I definitely have the Ravens as my number one most 416 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 4: attractive job. All right, Bucky, let's talk about the Browns. 417 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 4: I have them at number four. What would be your 418 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 4: first order of business if you went to Cleveland? 419 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 12: Well, the first order of business is the first order 420 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 12: business that every coach has when he takes over to 421 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 12: Cleveland Browns is that's figuring out the quarterback situation. What 422 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 12: you have to do now is to huddle up with 423 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 12: Andrew Berry and you have to determine are we better 424 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 12: with your doer centers of Dylan Gabriel or one of 425 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 12: the quarterbacks that could be available into twenty twenty six 426 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 12: draft class. We can talk about Fernando Mendoz if he 427 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 12: comes out. Todd Simpson has declared from Alabama. So looking 428 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 12: at the tape and trying to figure out are we 429 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 12: better off continue to go to the course with Chaduur 430 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 12: or Dylan Gabriel or looking at one of these young 431 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 12: quarterbacks to be the face of the franchise going forward. 432 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 12: That debate is where we start, and once we make 433 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 12: that decision is about building the team around the quarterback 434 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 12: that we select. 435 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 13: But it has to be getting to a quarterback right 436 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 13: in Cleveland. 437 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 4: There's a lot to like about the Atlanta Falcons. I thought, Baldy, 438 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 4: what would be your first order of business if you 439 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 4: went to Atlanta. 440 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 9: Well, I think we all know Arthur Blank to a degree, 441 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 9: and the fact is the Falcons have only been relevant 442 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 9: whether they had Mike Vick or Matt Ryan, period, and 443 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 9: so they've got to figure out the quarterback situation. The 444 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 9: fans go to the stands to watch the quarterback play. 445 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 3: The team around the quarterback is very good. They hit 446 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 3: on every draft. 447 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 9: Pick last year in the first four picks, Piers jail Walker, 448 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 9: Xavier Watts, Bowman. The offensive line is solid. We all 449 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 9: know what Bijon is and Drake London is. I mean, 450 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 9: they've got to get this quarterback situation figured out and 451 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 9: then go win the division. 452 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 3: Go claim the division with that position figured out. 453 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 9: Whether it's the draft, whether it's free agency, whether it's 454 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 9: a trade, whether you think Kirk Cousins has years left 455 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 9: because I don't think Michael Pennicks can be ready to 456 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 9: start season. 457 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: So they've got to get that figured out immediately. 458 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 4: All right. Moving on to the Arizona Cardinals, Steve I 459 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 4: have them as the fifth most attractive job on my list? 460 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 4: What would you do for the Arizona Cardinals. 461 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 10: First, I would rent and not buy based on how 462 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 10: quickly they turn overhead coaches. But as much of a 463 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 10: fan as I am of Kyler Murray's, I just think 464 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 10: it's a natural time for them to separate because the 465 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 10: injury history has proven even when he was at his best, 466 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 10: they could not consistently compete with Seattle, with San Francisco, 467 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 10: or for the La Rams. 468 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 3: So move on with him. 469 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 10: Maybe go get someone like a Mac Jones and draft 470 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 10: a quarterback, maybe not in the first round, but develop 471 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 10: somebody there. Because I am building the rest of the 472 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 10: team in order. First, I'm taking a page out of 473 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 10: Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes book and making my team 474 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 10: like the Detroit Lions, tough around the lines of scrimmage 475 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 10: because you're seeing Trade McBride. I've got some skilled position 476 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 10: players there, but I've got to get tougher up front 477 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 10: if i want to compete in the NFC West. 478 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 4: Bucky, out of the seven openings, I have the Tennessee 479 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 4: Titans at number six. What would you do for the 480 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 4: Tennessee Titans. 481 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 13: Well, the good thing of you to Tennessee Titans. 482 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 12: You feel great about your franchise quarterback and cam Ward. 483 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 12: Now it's about making sure that he has some weapons 484 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 12: around him, some playmakers. 485 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 13: In this draft, I'm looking to get a number one. 486 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 12: Receiver, someone that can change the defense, meaning someone that 487 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 12: can force the defense either double team him or we're 488 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 12: going to create big plays down the field. In this draft, 489 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 12: there are a couple guys that are coming out, Jordan Tyson, 490 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,239 Speaker 12: Carnell Tate, someone that is a true number one that 491 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 12: can take the top off of the coverage that we 492 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 12: can push the ball down the field and open up 493 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 12: the rest of the offense. 494 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 13: But I'm starting an ending my rebuilding process with finding 495 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 13: a true number one receiver to unlock the potential of 496 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 13: cam Ward and this offense that we have in Tennessee. 497 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 4: All right, Baldy, I live in New York, so if 498 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 4: you put on sports talk radio, you will hear a 499 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 4: million things that people think the Giants need to do 500 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 4: as soon as they get a coach there. They are 501 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 4: my number two most attractive team. What would be your 502 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 4: first order of business if you were at the New 503 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 4: York Giants. 504 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 9: Well, the first order of business, Judy, is to say 505 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 9: that I believe that Jackson Dark is a franchise quarterback. 506 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 9: I don't need to go outside the organization and find 507 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 9: anybody to. 508 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 3: Compete with me. He's my guy. 509 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 9: I see enough of them this year. What I didn't 510 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 9: see enough of Judy was any playmakers. I know Malik 511 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 9: got hurt this year, elite neighbors that is, and we 512 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 9: know he's going to come back. 513 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 3: He'll be healthy. 514 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 9: I thought Wandale Robinson had a great season, and he's 515 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 9: an energy giver. 516 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 3: He's not an energy taper. I want Wandale on my team. 517 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: I like Tyrone. 518 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 9: Tracy, and I like Scataboo, but I want playmakers for 519 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 9: Jackson Dark. I think the tight end position can be upgraded. 520 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 9: They can find another great offensive lineman to go to 521 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 9: a group that was pretty good this year and give 522 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 9: me some receivers that can change the game. And never 523 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 9: stop building around this kid. I'm tired of him having 524 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 9: to do that to gain first downs. Put his head 525 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 9: down and run guys over. Other guys need to do that. 526 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 9: He knows how to disperse the ball and get it 527 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 9: to the playmakers. He needs playmakers. Free agency, draft trades, 528 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 9: just start piling them. 529 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 4: Up, all right, and I will take the last one, 530 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 4: and they are last in my ranking the Raiders. The 531 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 4: first order of business certainly is to figure out what 532 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 4: is going on with Max Crosby, and frankly, I would 533 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 4: consider trading Max Crosby. I think it would be a 534 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 4: win win. Let him go somewhere where he could finally 535 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 4: win and stockpile a lot of draft picks. This is 536 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 4: a huge reset for the Raiders. You've got to rebuild. 537 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 4: You need all of the draft ammunition you can possibly get. 538 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 4: Consider trading Max Crosby. Whoever gets that job with the 539 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 4: Vegas Raiders. 540 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 6: Hey Aj, i'm aj.

You know, 566 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 7: it's just like, not very often do many people get 567 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 7: a chance to see their dreams come true. I've been 568 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 7: fortunate enough to see many of my dreams become be 569 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 7: manifested into my reality. So each time it happens, I 570 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 7: just I feel encouraged, and I feel empowered, and I 571 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 7: feel liberated to dream about doing more things. 572 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 5: Okay, so I got some questions related to the sport. 573 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 5: We cover football in a second, but first let me 574 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 5: ask you this. So you spent a long time in 575 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 5: the NFL. You were always kind of a guy who, 576 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 5: you know, was very good at football, but had some 577 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 5: varied interests that they gets safe to say this is 578 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 5: one of them. 579 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 2: What else you got in store for us. 580 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 7: Oh well, I just right now I write a book 581 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 7: about God. It'll be my tough book. But I just 582 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 7: released a book called Watermelon Summers. And I've been writing 583 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 7: more philosophy and more not just children books, but I 584 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 7: jumped over to write more philosophy and more historical fiction, 585 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 7: auto ethnographys and things like that. So I been very 586 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 7: interested in at the apology, sociology, psychology, and theology and 587 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 7: kind of like clashing all those things to get them 588 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 7: to create all types of stories and share ideas of 589 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 7: that clash of identity for just humanity as all as 590 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 7: a whole. 591 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 5: Not surprised to hear that, very cool, look forward to 592 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 5: checking those out. I mean literally not couldn't be less surprised. 593 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 5: I want to talk about football a little bit. 594 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: Though. 595 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 5: You played for the Packers, you played for the Bears. 596 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 5: They played each other on Saturday night on Amazon Prime Video. 597 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 5: It is a special rivalry. You have seen both sides 598 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 5: of it. What makes Bears Packers so special? 599 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 7: I think one is just a location, right just you 600 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 7: know you're right down the street from each other. 601 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 3: Just those battles and the legacy. 602 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 7: I think there's not very There's not a whole lot 603 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 7: of like deep, deep legacy teams, and both of those 604 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 7: are historical teams throughout the league, you know, just their 605 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 7: identities and how they've been branded. There are working class 606 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 7: people and it's just like this clash of identities and 607 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 7: what they represent. So I think it's just more about 608 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 7: the history between the teams and how long they've been 609 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 7: around and how much they have been able to win, how. 610 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 3: Much they haven't been able to win, you know, more 611 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 3: moderate times. So I mean the Bears. 612 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 7: It's interesting for the bearriage because the Bears are a 613 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 7: team who have marketed the past, right, the past has 614 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 7: been there, how they made their dollars to eighty five Bears. 615 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 3: What we used to be. 616 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,719 Speaker 7: Now we're trying to see who the Bears can't become 617 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 7: and who they will be moving forward. So I'm interested 618 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 7: in seeing these teams built on history to be built 619 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 7: on futurism. What they how the market that and you know, 620 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 7: you got these young Caacks coming in at quarterback and 621 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 7: all these other positions. 622 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 3: Now the legacy is changing to tomorrow instead of yesterday. 623 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 7: So I'm very excited that for that as a franchise 624 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 7: for the city of Chicago, because Chicago is a very 625 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 7: city that I hope very dearly in my heart and 626 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 7: I love it. 627 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 3: Wisconstant not so. 628 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 6: Much ever again in my life, you know so. 629 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 7: But I think that's a big part of it is 630 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 7: you know, uh, you know, the cheese and the fans like. 631 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good game, So uh this it 632 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: will be interesting to watch. 633 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 5: One of your other former teams has become a juggernaut again. 634 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 5: The New England Patriots wanted to build there obviously uh 635 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 5: no Bill Belichick, but the newer, different sort of version 636 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 5: of Bill Belichick and Mike Rabel someone who obviously uh 637 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 5: learned from Bill and has really instilled a lot of 638 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 5: good culture things in that organization. They are rolling again 639 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 5: with Drake may. I know you don't watch a ton 640 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 5: of football, but what have you seen or heard from 641 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 5: your former friend franchises thises is remind you of anything 642 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 5: you encountered when you were there in New England. 643 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think the thing that you mentioned was culture. 644 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 7: Right, there's a lot of guys who can coach the 645 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 7: exes in those right, they can. They know how to 646 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 7: run plays, they know how to do these things. But 647 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 7: there's not a lot of men who know how to 648 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 7: develop and build a culture. 649 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 3: And there's not a lot of franchises who have a culture. 650 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 7: Right if you think about teams like the Cleveland Browns, like, 651 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 7: no matter who they bring in there, their. 652 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: Culture is a losing culture. 653 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 7: So to the philosophy of the entire house changes the 654 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 7: foundation in which that house sys song, then they could 655 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 7: never really be a winning franchises no matter how many 656 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 7: number one picks they bring in or how many individuals 657 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 7: who are winner winners. As a franchise as a whole, 658 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 7: the philosophy is not a winning brand, right, it's not 659 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 7: winning company. And somewhat like England, just winning franchise has 660 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 7: always been a winning franchises. And we could look across 661 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 7: the league and you could point out the teams that 662 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 7: are winning franchises, who have been winners, who get it 663 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 7: at the foundational level, versus those who have flash moments 664 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 7: where they are good for a week or good for 665 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 7: a year, or have a little bit of time and 666 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 7: they went here and there. So I think Mike Rago 667 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 7: is a guy who played in that culture, so he 668 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 7: understands where that culture comes from. And you learn culture 669 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 7: from participating in cultures. Right, like you go you travel 670 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 7: to another place in the world. It's one of my 671 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 7: favorite things to be immersed with the people eat the food, 672 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 7: the way they eat the food, and you learn about 673 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 7: that culture in a more dynamic way. And so raper 674 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 7: being able to play there or be with Bill Belichick 675 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 7: to go out build his own culture, see what cultures 676 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 7: are like other places, and take those things from his 677 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 7: travels and colching and playing and be able to bring 678 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 7: all it back to the franchise in which he knows 679 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 7: the best is. 680 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 3: I think it makes perfect sense that he's winning. 681 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 7: He knows what they want, he knows what New England represents, 682 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 7: he knows what Boston wants to, he knows what the 683 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 7: city culture is like. You know, he knows what it 684 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 7: means to be a patriot, and he already had his 685 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 7: own ideas of like, when I get my chance, this 686 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 7: is my patriot way. 687 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 2: So this is why we have you. 688 00:32:59,200 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: Man. 689 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 2: You got plenty ideas. 690 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 5: You see things outside the box, and obviously what you 691 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 5: have created outside of the football world has been fascinating 692 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 5: to see. Marty, thank you very much for hanging out 693 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 5: with us and the insiders. Good luck on the launch 694 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 5: of Hate AJ and I cannot wait to see what 695 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 5: you have in store for us next. 696 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: Thank you, Burl. I appreciate you for having. 697 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: Me playoff football this weekend, including in do al EverBank 698 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: Stadium one pm Eastern Time on Sunday. It is the Bills, 699 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: it is the Jaguars. It is a matchup that is 700 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: certainly worth watching. As we welcome in our Bucky Brooks 701 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: and Steve White's to the conversation with me, Tom Pelisero, Bucky. 702 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: That Jaguars defense all season long, they've been taking the 703 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: football away from people. Anthony Campanilli seems like he has 704 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: tapped into something with that group. 705 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 3: You're around that team a lot. 706 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: What do you see and how do you envision them 707 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: attacking this Bills offense this week? 708 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 12: Well, a numb one thing that a Jaguars want to 709 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 12: do to set them up to take the ball aways. 710 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 13: You got to stop the run. 711 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 12: You have to stop the number one ranked rush offense 712 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 12: in the Buffalo Bills or early downs so you can 713 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 12: force Josh Allen to throw in long yarded situations. That's 714 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 12: when Anthony Campanilli and this defense gets in their bag. 715 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 12: They'll switch to zones pre snap disguise some man, but 716 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 12: a lot of z own eyes on the quarterback and 717 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 12: tipson overthrows lead to interceptions. The Jaguars have twenty two interceptions, 718 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 12: only behind the Chicago Bears second in takeaways. Is about 719 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 12: stopping to run and making the Bills throw when everyone 720 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 12: in the stadium knows they have to throw, Bucky. 721 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 10: That's exact recipe for Buffalo on offense as well as 722 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 10: to counter that because the Buffalo Bills possess the ball 723 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 10: more than any team in the NFL, to keep their 724 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 10: defense off the field by averaging more than thirty three 725 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 10: minutes in time of possession a game. That means they're 726 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 10: getting ahead of the sticks, they're converting on third down, 727 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 10: and they're doing it with that guy right there, James 728 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 10: Cook an awful lot and Josh Allen running the football. 729 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 10: They do not have a significant amount of downfield threats. 730 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 10: So if they can stay ahead of the chains, go 731 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,439 Speaker 10: on these nine to ten place scoring drives, keep Jacksonville's 732 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 10: offense off the field and keep themselves out of position 733 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 10: for possibly making plays turn the ball over. That's their 734 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 10: secret offensively to beating the Jaguars. 735 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 5: Michel f Florio, our good friend joined us once again 736 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 5: in the Insiders. Fantasy season is over, So what are 737 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 5: you doing here, FLORYA, Okay, fine, I'll answer my own question. 738 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 5: Instead of talking about fantasy with our good buddy Michael Floya, 739 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 5: we're gonna use his skills of analysis and talk about reality. 740 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 2: Here's what I want you to do, Florio. 741 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 5: I want you to start by going through these Saturday games. 742 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 2: Okay, Rams, Panthers, Packers, Bears. 743 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 5: Take me through a player to watch, kind of like 744 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 5: what you do in fantasy, but real. 745 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 2: Exactly the thinking there. 746 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 15: And look, I don't know if we're gonna get a 747 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 15: secret episode of Stranger Things tonight, but I do know 748 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 15: that if Tetaro McMillan does not have a big game, 749 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 15: life is going to be tough for the Panthers on Saturday. 750 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 15: Because the Rams' biggest weakness is against out wide wide receivers. 751 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 15: They're top four in yards allowed to those and that 752 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 15: is where McMillan has ran eighty four percent of his 753 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 15: routes this season. They're also top four in yards on 754 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,439 Speaker 15: deep passes to out wide wide receivers and nearly two 755 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 15: thirds of those targets for the Panthers have gone to McMillan. 756 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 15: For the Rams, if they play their game, they should 757 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 15: be in a good spot. But for the Panthers, they 758 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 15: need McMillan to have a big day. And then in 759 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 15: that second game, I think Christian Watson needs to step 760 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 15: up because the Bears are top seven in yards to 761 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 15: receivers on deep passes, out wide, wide receivers and receivers. 762 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 2: In the slot. 763 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 15: Watson since he's returned has led the packers and targets, 764 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 15: receiving yards and touchdowns. 765 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 13: He is an excellent deep threat. 766 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 15: Which helps him against in this matchup a lot, but 767 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 15: he also has been splitting his time out wide and 768 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 15: in the slot. 769 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 13: And when Green Bay beat. 770 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,479 Speaker 15: Chicago this year, he turned four targets into nearly ninety 771 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 15: yards and two touchdowns. 772 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 13: But I think he needs to step up. 773 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 2: All right, good stuff on the Saturday games. 774 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 5: Kind I can't believe we get to watch foball if 775 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 5: you're talking about coaching news for so many days in 776 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 5: a row. Take me to Sunday. Give me a little 777 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 5: bit of what to watch. We'll start with Bills Jags 778 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 5: de open. 779 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 15: Yeah, we know Josh Allen and James cook are the 780 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 15: most important players for the Bills, but I think Brandon 781 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 15: Cooks needs to step up this week for them to 782 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 15: have success because the Jags have allowed the fewest rushing yards. 783 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 7: In the league. 784 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 3: They rank well in all. 785 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,240 Speaker 15: Per carry metrics and due to that, teams have thrown 786 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 15: at the highest rate against the Jaguars. But the Jags 787 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 15: have allowed the lowest pass rating on the passes to 788 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,479 Speaker 15: slot receivers, which is bad for Khalil Shakir. But where 789 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 15: they have struggled is out wide wide receivers and specifically 790 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 15: on the deep ball to out wide wide receivers, and 791 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 15: Brandon Cooks since he has got to the Buffalo, has 792 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 15: been their best deep ball receiver for the Jags. It's 793 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 15: just run the ball, right, Travis etn and I think 794 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 15: the very explosive base shell two in could be a 795 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 15: factor there. And then in forty nine Ers Eagles, This 796 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 15: one might sound obvious, but. 797 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 2: It's Christian McCaffrey right. 798 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 15: He is an MVP candidate and he is the most 799 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 15: vital player for the Niners each week. But it's magnetized 800 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 15: this week because the Eagles have allowed the fewest passing 801 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 15: touchdowns in the NFL, the fewest touchdowns to wide receivers, 802 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 15: second fewest yards to tight ends. They're just an extremely 803 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 15: tough defense, but their weakness is against pass catching running backs. 804 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 15: They are top seven in receiving yards and touchdowns to 805 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 15: running backs, middle of the pack in rushing yards. So 806 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 15: to pull off the upset, I think CMC needs a 807 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 15: legacy game and then Sunday Night Chargers Patriots. 808 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 13: I think a player I talked about. 809 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 15: A lot for fantasy, Tremion Henderson needs to step up 810 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 15: in this one because that Chargers secondary is elite. Their 811 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 15: bottom four passing yards allowed. They've shut down receivers and 812 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 15: tight ends, but their weakness has been against the run, 813 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 15: especially speedy, explosive runners. So the time is now for 814 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 15: the Patriots to set free and let him have a 815 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 15: big game. And on the Charger side of things, their 816 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 15: all line needs to step up because the Pats are top. 817 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 2: Ten in pressure. 818 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 5: I love you talking about the Bills and how great 819 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 5: that are. You got a Bill's helmet in your background. 820 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 5: There's that nice red one by the way, old school, 821 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 5: old school respect. I also knew we couldn't get through 822 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 5: this segment without you talking about your guy, Trayvon Henderson. 823 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 2: Talk about respect. 824 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 5: You have been leading the charts end up probably winning 825 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 5: some people some fantasy championships. Alright, we got one more 826 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 5: Monday Night football Texan Steelers. 827 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 2: What we got, Florio, I think it's. 828 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 13: Kenneth Gainwell, right, because the Texans. 829 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 15: They get after the quarterback at a high rate. 830 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 2: They're tough to run on. 831 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 15: They're tough against receivers and tight ends, but they struggle 832 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 15: with yak against running backs, and Gainwell has been used 833 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 15: as an extension of the run game and has become 834 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 15: a legit receiving weapon there. For the Texans side of things, 835 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 15: I think it's Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz that need 836 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 15: to step up in this matchup. 837 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 5: See not talking about fantasy, talking about reality and you 838 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 5: crushed to this always for you crazy stuff.
