00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: As is there a QB crisis in the NFL right now? Steve,

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Pep's gonna break that down for us. But we have

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: to start this show with where the biggest news came out,

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: and that is the Las Vegas Raiders and they are

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: moving on from not just head coach Josh McDaniels, but

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: also general manager Dave Zigler.

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: Where were you in this news, broke, Steve?

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. It's so funny, Jp, because all

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: these Raiders fans who are sick and tired of being

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: sick and tired of being sick and tired, Like, I'm

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: so happy, I'm so happy they fired Josh, so happy

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: that they got rid of these guys, but really, are

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: you happy? How can a Raiders fan be happy? The

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: one person who is happy is the guy who's taking

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: over now, and that's interim head coach Antonio Pierce.

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 4: The short story, as a matter of fact, is I grew

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: up in Compton, California. I was born a Raider. I

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: was born with the Raiders rolling in the coliseum in LA.

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: I was rolling with NWA, talking to straight out of

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: Compton Rock and Raider hats. So an opportunity came to

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: work with Josh and Pat Graham and Dave, I jumped

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 4: on it.

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: So that's what set me up for this. I was

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: born this way. Yeah, okay, so then that's got the

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: hoo flavor. That's good. I feel it, especially come from Antonio.

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: You know, a great player with the Giants. He has

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: paid his dues among the coaching rates. But JP he

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: heard what he said. I was born a Raider when

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: they used to roll into the coliseum. That's unfortunately, where

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: this organization's head is stuck at. Whether it's the LA

39
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: Coliseum or the Oakland Coliseum. It seems as if they

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: are just locked into the commitment to excellence and and

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: all of this stuff. Herd Antonio talk about her, Gruden

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: talk about it her, Dennis Allen talk about her, Hugh

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: Jackson talk about it. But but are they really committed.

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: You're fired hiring the wrong coaches, fired him after a

45
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: year and a half paying quarterbacks. When you end up

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: benching halfway through the season after you fire your stef

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: JP it it seems like they're stuck in forty years ago,

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: thinking that Lyle Alzado is gonna come walking through that door.

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: You know, we'll get to Josh McDaniels and and Dave

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: Ziggler and the mistakes maybe that were made over the

51
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: last year and a half in the future of the

52
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. But you're right, Steve. I made this

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: point to you this morning, and I actually was talking

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: to an assistant coach in the NFL before we did

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: this show who thought the exact same thing. I don't

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: know a team we're in organization that has been stuck

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: or uses or is attached to the culture and the

58
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: identity that is that organization more than the Raiders, And

59
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: maybe just maybe it plays a bigger part in how

60
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: this organization is run, what they're looking for, how they're

61
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: trying to operate than any other organization in all of football.

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: It really is fascinating. I mean, this is an owner

63
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: and Mark Davis, who obviously takes over from his father,

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: Al Davis, who just like his father, listens to players

65
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: a lot.

66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: That happens in.

67
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: This process specifically pretty much some meetings with some star

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: players within that organization, but also listens to the fans

69
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: a lot. And we know the way the Raiders Nation is.

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: I remember being there when Gruden was hired, being up

71
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: there at the facility in Oakland and the amount of

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: alumni that was in the building for John Gruden's press conference,

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: the amount of fans that were standing outside that facility

74
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: for that press conference, and it was We're going back.

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: That's what we keep hearing every time people get hired

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: or they come as an interim head coach in this

77
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: fashion with Piers is we're going back to the Raiders' way.

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: And the other quote that we didn't run and plays

79
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: right into this Steve is Antonio Pierce another quote where

80
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: he said a big part of this is we're gonna

81
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: make Raiders Nation and.

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: The alumni proud with how we play.

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: This is almost a broken record with the Raiders in

84
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: terms of how the thinking is, I know that's not

85
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: wrong to think that way, but it's almost a higher

86
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: emphasis than in any other building in football.

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, you know, and I'm really hoping Antonio Piers

88
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: gets us right because I think again he's paid his dues.

89
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: I really like Antonio in a lot of different ways.

90
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: But then I'm saying to myself, if he does get

91
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: it right, remember they're only three and five, they've got

92
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: nine games left to play. He's got an opportunity. Well, well,

93
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: Mark Davis, keep him. He had a chance to do

94
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: this with Rich Pisaceia a couple of years ago to

95
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: over Regruden and got the playoffs teams to the playoffs

96
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: in t wins. We will to keep Antonio Pierce because

97
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: he always wants that shiny new toy in his beautiful

98
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: stadium in Las Vegas, which is where the Super Bowl

99
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: will we played this year. And so you're just wondering

100
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: what decisions will be made and if this team actually

101
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: has a chance because JP, they've got Devonte Adams, have

102
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: got Next Crosby, they got Josh Jacobs, but they've had

103
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: those guys. Now they're open Aid and O'Connell can come

104
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: there at the rookie the Blay quarterback to get things

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: over the hump. But it's just where are these guys headed.

106
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: What is going to happen with this organization? Because, like

107
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: you said, everybody else has at least tried to make

108
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: a step forward, and they keep on just stepping forward

109
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: on a treadmill.

110
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you came up with that yourself, Steve,

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: but that's a great line. Keep making a step forward

112
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: on a treadmill. I'm not sure who you stole that from.

113
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: If it's an original, I give you all the credit,

114
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure who is that fault here? Really,

115
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I think we know this is probably the last chance

116
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna see Josh McDaniels as a head coach in

117
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. This is only time in NFL history a

118
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: guy hasn't made it two full seasons as the head

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: coach of two separate organizations. But if you look at

120
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: the way this thing was set up, it was set

121
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: by Dave Ziggler. This offseason, the general manager that player

122
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: development was more important than wins this season, right, So

123
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: that's where the thinking was from the front office perspective

124
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: of developing this team. But it's a draft class that

125
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: hasn't developed, is a draft class that has hard time

126
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: getting on the field as well. And then Mark Davis

127
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: knows that, but then pulls the trigger quickly. So it

128
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: has to be really Steve that he saw something to

129
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: where speaking with players and speaking to people in that organization,

130
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: and I've made plenty of phone calls out probably as

131
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: you have over the last couple of days. It was

132
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't see this going anywhere in the eyes of

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Mark Davis. So he ends up pulling the plug now

134
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: as opposed to later, and we get a chance for

135
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: a long stretch to see an interim head coach with

136
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders. It's fascinating, but we have to move on

137
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: because we have two massive interviews with two organizations that

138
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: had a.

139
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: Very very good week.

140
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: Unlike the Raiders, the Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Ingram

141
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: will be joining the show.

142
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: Jacks.

143
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Is it the best group of skill position players in

144
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. We'll find out what Evan thinks coming up

145
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: on the NFL Report.

146
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: I'm Jason Kelsey, and you're watching the NFL Report.

147
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, Welcome back to the NFL Report. We

148
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: are joined by Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Ingram, who

149
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm his favorite person to speak to because

150
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: after we talked in the week leading into that Steelers game,

151
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: he has ten targets, ten catches for eighty eight yards.

152
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: And I want to say this, I don't know if

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: you know this, Evan, with that performance, it's you and

154
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Jeremy Shockey alone in NFL history in terms of tight

155
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: ends with more than forty catches and four hundred receiving

156
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: yards in each of their first seven seasons.

157
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody at tagged me in that this past week,

158
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 5: and sometimes like kind of try to skip over that

159
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 5: kind of stuff, but that one was pretty cool actually,

160
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 5: just just that name alone, Jeremy's was a great tight

161
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 5: end and just even how hard it is to even

162
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 5: get to this point.

163
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 6: Definitely, uh, definitely was a cool little stat for me

164
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 6: for sure.

165
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: Well, even stats aside, you guys got the dumb right five.

166
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: In a row.

167
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: You go over there and you go over to London,

168
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: you guys get things kickstarted. Like what is the feel

169
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: of the team right now, because you know, it looks

170
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: to us like you're rolling and you're you're you're going upwards, right,

171
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: You're still kind of finding your stride.

172
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's awesome right now. The locker room has

173
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 5: definitely got a nice little bus to it, but it's

174
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 5: it's well earned. We understood we were in the kind

175
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 5: of a rough spot after week three, and we kind

176
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 5: of had to look ourselves in the mirror and hold

177
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 5: each other accountable to what we knew, what we were

178
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: capable of, and just pretty really put our head down

179
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 5: and put the work in.

180
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 6: And now we're in a good spot going into the

181
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 6: bye weekend.

182
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 5: Probably the more impressive and special thing about it is,

183
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: you know, we understand that we really haven't done anything yet.

184
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 5: This is all expected and this is what we've been

185
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 5: you know, we've been working for and see for ourselves,

186
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 5: and so now it's how do we continue it to

187
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 5: improve and continue to be consistent in what we've been doing.

188
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about locker room buzz Evan, because I was

189
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: in that locker room in Pittsburgh that had a lot

190
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: of buzz in it, specifically from your defensive side of

191
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: the football.

192
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 6: After some of.

193
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 7: The comments from George Pickens got out there, Hope defense,

194
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 7: you guys were called for Sean Jenkins to be had

195
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 7: the best line of anybody on that side ball, I said,

196
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 7: I was hoping they were going to come out and

197
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 7: show up today, but apparently they did. And when Josh

198
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 7: Allen told me, this was a statement game for your defense, right, Like,

199
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 7: I love the way those guys kind of embraced that

200
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 7: trash down. You guys are you want.

201
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: To be known as a physical team, don't you?

202
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 6: For sure?

203
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 5: That's that's who we are, that's our identity. Our defense

204
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: takes pride in that one hundred percent. And even those comments,

205
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 5: it created edge for us in our preparation and that's

206
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 5: where we win the games. We win Sundays, in our

207
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 5: process during the week. I mean, that's something we all

208
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 5: kind of buy into. So you know, it was kind

209
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: of fortunate that they were kind of filling themselves a

210
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 5: little bit because it was it allowed us to create

211
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 5: an edge, especially our especially for our defense man. They've

212
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 5: already been balling, so they kind of poked a bear

213
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 5: on that one. And to see the performance they put together,

214
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 5: even me, you look at our offense. We did everything

215
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 5: we weren't supposed to do, and they kept the Senate

216
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 5: allowed us to, uh to capitalize on some of our opportunities.

217
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, it was awesome week. You know, that's that's

218
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: the NFL AFC matchup.

219
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 6: We learned about the rivalry and.

220
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: All the previous big matchups between Jacksonville and Pittsburgh, and

221
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 5: that was my first time playing in that stadium.

222
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 6: And obviously, you know, that's a really historic.

223
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 5: Franchise and we just all we bought into all that

224
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 5: and this is what we prepare for. This is what

225
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 5: we you know, this is a dream. We're living the

226
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 5: dream playing in the league. And it was a cool

227
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 5: matchup and I'm glad we got to go dominated.

228
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of living in dream, the number nine, ten, and

229
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: eleven receivers in the NFL are tight end, it's it's

230
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: Kelsey and nine Hockinson a ten you and eleven. Laporta

231
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: from the Lions is at nineteen. So for of the

232
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: top twenty receivers in the NFL are tight ends. What

233
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: about kind of the evolution of that position and the

234
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: fact that someone like yourself or Kelsey, you've made yourself

235
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: a go to option.

236
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you named off some dogs. Those guys

237
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 5: are elite, and uh yeah, it's none us. I mean, well,

238
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 5: we all watch tape and you know, we try to,

239
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 5: you know, watch film or how to be opponents.

240
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 6: And better our game.

241
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 5: And those guys are the ones that I see the

242
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 5: most that pop up on tape. And the position as

243
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 5: a whole is just evolving. We're asked to do more. Obviously,

244
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 5: the talent that is coming into this league is evolving

245
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 5: as well. You got just freak athletes able to play

246
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 5: this position, and you know, you got the right kind

247
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 5: of offensive mindset and offensive mine, drawing up plays and

248
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 5: putting together game plans to exploit some of the mismatches

249
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: that you know, athletes are like ourselves calls. So it

250
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 5: is it's a it's a cool position, and it's a

251
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 5: great position for myself and my teammates and in that

252
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 5: tighter room in this offense. And but at the end

253
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: of the day, I just put the work in, try

254
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: to be reliable and the ball comes my way. You know,

255
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 5: I just try to take pride and being special and

256
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: you know, changing the game and being a spark and

257
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 5: and I've learned how to do that, do a lot

258
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: of hard work and watching you know, some of the

259
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 5: names that you just mentioned.

260
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: I gotta jump onto that you mentioned watching the film

261
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: of these guys. If you have one film to put

262
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: on it's one offense, it's one player. Maybe it's howel

263
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: the tight end is used, or it's the tight end.

264
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: What what film are you putting on?

265
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, nah, it's easy. Man travels is Travers is the

266
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 5: standard right now. And you turn that offense, you kind

267
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 5: of get in trouble. Watch in their offense they do

268
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 5: a lot off off yeah stuff, but it's it's also

269
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 5: you can tell it's an understanding of the game too,

270
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 5: an understanding of the defenses they're playing, and some of

271
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 5: the players that they that they that they come up with,

272
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 5: and the players that they make and and Titan University

273
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 5: is actually a cool thing that we do in the

274
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 5: off season and all the Titands get together, and you know,

275
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 5: Travis Travers is a great mind to pick and having

276
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 5: conversations with him about things that he sees and things

277
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 5: that he does, it's different. It's a it's a different level.

278
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: So he's he's been the guy, he's been the top

279
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 5: dog for the last couple of years, and you know

280
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 5: he's even the younger generation coming up underneath him. He's

281
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 5: a great example and one of my favorite players.

282
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: Will watch well, you guys had some great games with

283
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: him the last couple of seasons and you know, I

284
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: want to talk about your quarterback though, Trevor Lawrence. I mean,

285
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: we've seen him grow up very quickly. Mean, last year

286
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: had some coaches tell me he's seeing it differently. Now,

287
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: what if you noticed his evolution just were this first

288
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: half of the season.

289
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, it's maturity.

290
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: It shocks me every time I realize how old he

291
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: is and just the talent he has, with the mindset

292
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 5: that he has in the and in the system that

293
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 5: he's in. He it's it's just a really good uh,

294
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 5: it's a really good spot for him.

295
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 6: And how competitive he is too. He's a real competitive dude.

296
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 5: And when he gets in his owne it's fun to

297
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 5: see and it's fun to be on the on the

298
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 5: same field with so just even coming in and building

299
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 5: a relationship.

300
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 6: With him, and it's.

301
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 5: Been cool because you know, the objective is to win

302
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 5: ball game, so you come in trying to build a

303
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 5: you know, a relationship and chemistry on the field. But

304
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 5: he's he's even a better guy. He's one of our

305
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: he's our biggest leader. He's a real humble dude, and

306
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 5: and it's it's been a blessing to play with him.

307
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 5: It's been cool to get to know him and spend

308
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 5: time with him, and we have a lot of goals

309
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: for ourselves and we're all on the same page. We

310
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 5: all play with the chip on our shoulder, and we're

311
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: under We play under a great coach that we all

312
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 5: like to go play for for him, but we're in

00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: as well as you've played over eight years?

421
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

422
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 10: Hey, I'm man. First of all, thanks you guys, Thank

423
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 10: you guys for having me on. And yeah, you know

424
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 10: it's tough. It's been a it's been a long eight

425
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 10: year stretch. But you know, in a lot of games,

426
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 10: you know you're not gonna not going to get offered

427
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 10: up into that that role. But I'm super thankful and

428
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 10: appreciative of earning that on there this week.

429
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know you earned it because you guys really

430
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: put a decisive victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah,

431
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: you recovered bumble, you get that late interception. I think

432
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: that gives you five picks of Patrick Mahomes. You've intercepted

433
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: him more than anybody's intercepting him.

434
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: More than anybody.

435
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what what is it. It's just a

436
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 2: matter of playing them twice a season or you you

437
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: guys know, especially schematically, what they're trying to do, and

438
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: it puts you in position to make plays.

439
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's it's honestly all the of both. I mean,

440
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 10: playing them twice a year definitely gives me a up

441
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 10: on most of anybody else. But also on top of that,

442
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 10: if you go back and you watch all five interceptions,

443
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 10: you know or however many there are more times.

444
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 3: Than not we just get really great pressure.

445
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 10: And Patrick Mahomes, as we all know, is a tremendous talent,

446
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 10: one of, if not the best quarterback in the league,

447
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 10: and so he's not going to not try and make

448
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 10: a play. I mean, he's known for doing that. Ball

449
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 10: is going to be in the air and it's just

450
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 10: a matter of executing. So with a great rush like

451
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 10: we have and a great execution and the secondary in

452
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 10: the back end. In terms of the past game, you know,

453
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 10: sometimes I'm the beneficiary of an interception.

454
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: I got to put this out there justin because I

455
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: don't know if enough people know this. Since you came

456
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: into the league in twenty sixteen, there is nobody in

457
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: the NFL that has more interceptions than you. Twenty nine

458
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: picks is phenomenal for what you've been able to do

459
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: with the safety position. And I use that to lead

460
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: into there was a lot of talk about the Broncos

461
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: being sellers at the trade deadline, and your name kept

462
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: kind of coming up because obviously what I just mentioned,

463
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: teams want you. You're a great player. What goes through

464
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: a player's mind in those couple of days leading into

465
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: the deadline wondering do you talk to your agent, do

466
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: you want to know? Do you block it out? Do

467
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: you hit up George Peyton?

468
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: Chop it?

469
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: What goes through your head? What did you do in

470
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: those days? And you're now a Bronco right now?

471
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, great question.

472
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 10: I immediately hit my agent, you know, just hearing rumors that,

473
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 10: you know, my name is being thrown around.

474
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: And I just told him. I was like, hey, I

475
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 3: don't know it.

476
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 10: You know, rumors are true or whatever the case may be,

477
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 10: but don't don't tell me until you know something's official.

478
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 10: I don't want to hear, Hey, they called, and you

479
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 10: know we're working something out, this, that and the other.

480
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 10: You know, I'd rather just put my head down focus.

481
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 10: I'm all in on the Broncos and trying to figure out,

482
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 10: you know, how to win and how to help us

483
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 10: win games, and if it comes up, it comes up.

484
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 6: You know.

485
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 10: That's that was really my mindset during the uh, you know,

486
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 10: during the whole rumor phase of the trade deadline. And man,

487
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 10: I'm super thankful that while you know, one, we go

488
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 10: into the bye week with a win, and you know too,

489
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 10: I'm still a Bronco and hoping to turn this thing

490
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 10: around in the second half of the season.

491
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: And justin that's what I wanted to get to. Okay,

492
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 2: you guys didn't didn't make any big moves, right, and

493
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: so you know who you're rolling with, and you guys

494
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: have put together, especially defensively, a nice run of games.

495
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: I mean, do you feel that you guys are gaining

496
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: the proper traction again, especially on the defensive side of

497
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: the ball, is to where you constrain some ws together

498
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 2: and get back into the mix.

499
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent believe that.

500
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 10: And I think that Kansas City game was a was

501
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 10: kind of a statement a statement game for us. I

502
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 10: think defensively, we know that to start the season, you know,

503
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 10: it wasn't anywhere near what we're used to, how we're

504
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 10: used to playing, and what we're used to looking like.

505
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 3: And we're getting some key guys back.

506
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 10: I think Baron Browning coming back and especially in that

507
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 10: game and how how I came back was absolutely monster.

508
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 10: You know, we need him and the talent that he brings.

509
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 10: I know Zach Allen was on an interview shortly after

510
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 10: the Kansas City game and he said, you know, Baron

511
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 10: has like von Miller esque movement, and you know, you

512
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 10: don't get that type of praise. That's a lot, Yeah,

513
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 10: for no reason. And so really excited to have Baron.

514
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 10: Any any secondary player would tell you their favorite their

515
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 10: favorite position on the field as a good pass rusher.

516
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 10: So you know, love having Baron back. And I really do.

517
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 10: I really think we can we can make this push.

518
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 10: We're playing well in all three phases and that's what

519
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 10: it's going to take to win games, especially against the

520
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 10: teams that we play in the second half of the season.

521
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: Jones and takes kind of behind closed doors in a

522
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: meeting room, maybe with VJ and when you guys started

523
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: seeing how you guys could play in what he wants

524
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: you to do. I don't think we all have patients

525
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: around the NFL very often with you guys adjusting to

526
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: what he wants you guys to do.

527
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: Was there like a.

528
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: Conversation a meeting, anything that sticks out, maybe before this

529
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: three game run that you guys have turned it defensively,

530
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: that kind of goes, Okay, this is this is how

531
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: we can play.

532
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 6: We just need to do blank.

533
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was.

534
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 10: I want to say one particular meeting, but there is

535
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 10: one instance that came into my mind. It was it

536
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 10: was right right before we're getting ready to go play

537
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 10: the play the Jets at home, and we're pulling up

538
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 10: clips from you know, the Miami game, the Chicago game,

539
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 10: you know, the Washington game, you know games where they

540
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 10: kind of got out of hand, especially the Miami game,

541
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 10: and you know, he puts up all the clips of

542
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 10: you know, all the negative plays that we had, positives

543
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 10: that the offense had. Then he puts up clips of

544
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 10: all the positive plays we had, the negative plays you know,

545
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 10: that the offense had, and just showing the minute differences

546
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 10: and it's like one or two guys not being gap

547
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 10: disciplined or not reading the not reading their coverage right

548
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 10: in the first few seconds of their coverage responsibilities.

549
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 3: And then it just as a trickling effect.

550
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 10: Sometimes guys try to do too much, they try to

551
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 10: make up for another guy's mistake, and those can go.

552
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 3: For big plays.

553
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 10: And so, you know, the moral of the story when

554
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 10: he was going over this meeting is the difference maker

555
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 10: is you know, we're able to get takeaways. And the

556
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 10: second thing is we were playing sound discipline football and

557
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 10: it's not always pretty, doesn't always uh, you know, mark

558
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 10: up the stat sheet, you know, for whatever TFLs and

559
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 10: sacks and all this on all these things, but when

560
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 10: you play as a complete unit, all eleven to the football,

561
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 10: you guys can be really special.

562
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: And it's it's on tape.

563
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 10: So this is our standard weekend and week out, and

564
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 10: it's not going to be perfect, but you got to

565
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 10: control the x's and o's and you guys control your

566
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 10: effort and that's that's all it's going to be. And

567
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 10: so we've really bought into that these past few games,

568
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 10: and by no means hasn't been perfect, but the level

569
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 10: of consistency has stepped up.

570
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great stuff. I mean to be able to

571
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: understand you uphold integrity and discipline, how well that can

572
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: really bring things together. I want to talk a little

573
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: about the safety position because also on the show we

574
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: have Jaguars tight and Evan Ingram, we know an athletic

575
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: receiving tight and you got Travis Kelsey as a safety

576
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 2: who was often a signed to try to d up

577
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: some of these tight ends. What is it like seeing

578
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: maybe the evolution of that position team's don moving them

579
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: in and out of the slot, things like that, and

580
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 2: how difficult has that made your job?

581
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's made it extremely difficult, you know, especially when

582
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 10: you when you get creative, like you know Doug Peterson

583
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 10: and Andy Reid do with their personnels and how they

584
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 10: match up. You know, you hear twelve personnel, which is

585
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 10: one running back and two tight ends. You're thinking more

586
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 10: of a run heavy formation, right, You're thinking double wing,

587
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 10: you know, maybe both tight ends on the same side,

588
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 10: you know, tight end on the ball, tight end off

589
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 10: the ball. And you're thinking like duo gap schemes, maybe

590
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 10: zones and gap schemes, whatever the case may be. And

591
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 10: you know, here comes twelve personnel against the Chiefs. And

592
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 10: then now Travis Kelcey is lined up at the slot

593
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 10: at number two, and you have base out there, and

594
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 10: you know, you call a man play and then there

595
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 10: there he goes you know or yah, yeah, hey, or

596
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 10: you call zone. And he's one of the best tight

597
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 10: ends ever in my opinion, when you're asked to get

598
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 10: open and he knows what the defenses are in and

599
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 10: I mean Evan Ingram as well.

600
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: I mean you even.

601
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 10: Safeties, uh, you know, it's it's pretty tough to guard him.

602
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 10: And so the game is, the game is definitely evolving,

603
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 10: its changing. You know, I think you're starting to see

604
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 10: the evolution from the tight end position the safety position.

605
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 10: I mean, you got to be able to do way

606
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 10: more than just you know, play free, play strong.

607
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 3: You gotta do way more than just be a pass

608
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 3: blocker or just a catching tight end.

609
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 10: I mean you kind of got to be all of

610
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 10: it in one And it's fun doing that every week

611
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 10: and trying to figure that out.

612
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 5: That.

613
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: With that said, justin your position is becoming, you know,

614
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: adversely even more important to defenses right to guard that

615
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: chess piece. So let's let's this might be hard, but

616
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: kind of let's play a Frankenstein game here in a sense,

617
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: if you could just start pulling pieces from your favorite

618
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: safeties of all time, maybe they're still playing now or

619
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: or or they're done playing, kind of build that safety,

620
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: that would be the best on the field because I know,

621
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: you study your position and you watch a ton of film.

622
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: What what what kind of traits are you taking and

623
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: who are you taking them from?

624
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, that man, that's a that's a tough one.

625
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna just.

626
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: Kind of go we should I should talk about that

627
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: before the show.

628
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, hey, you know, I give me some go

629
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 11: off the top of my head here, I think when

630
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 11: you look at my number one thing is like the physicality,

631
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 11: and that's so hard because there's so many good physical safeties.

632
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 10: I mean that's what it was, especially watching the game

633
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 10: growing up. You know, I would have to go with

634
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 10: like a like a Bob Sanders or I would have

635
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 10: to go with Yeah, I would.

636
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 6: I would.

637
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: I think, man, watching him play in Indie, I.

638
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: Was like, oh, man, let's play of the year.

639
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean unbelievable, So him like a Steve Atwall

640
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 10: type of physicality. I would go with Brian Dawkins for

641
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 10: like energy, like like unmatched it is. I think, yeah,

642
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 10: you know, I think what he brought to the game

643
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 10: in terms of his passion, his energy, I think not

644
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 10: to be able to play with some of that.

645
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 3: Going more modern, I think, uh IQ.

646
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, I was just about to say, I think going

647
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 10: more modern, and I Q I kind of I'm kind

648
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 10: of at a split. I want to go Minka and

649
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 10: and Tyron. I think those two beautiful When I watched

650
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 10: him week in and week out, I think those two

651
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 10: do it at an extremely high level and they're so versatile,

652
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 10: and I think that's what makes them. I mean, anytime

653
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 10: you watch whenever, you know what you watched him with

654
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 10: the with the with the Cardinals, the Texans, the Saints,

655
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 10: and the Chiefs. I mean, you know, Tyrant's playing slot,

656
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 10: he's playing corner, he's playing high. Safety's playing in the box.

657
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 10: And then Minka, I mean he's pressed up on you know,

658
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 10: a slot receiver, a tight end, and then sometimes he's

659
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 10: in the deep middle. And in order to move like that,

660
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 10: you got to have the IQ and know what's going on.

661
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 10: And those guys are still ball productive. You know another

662
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 10: guy I think when you're talking about instinctiveness and playing

663
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 10: the run and being around the line of scrimmage, I'm

664
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 10: gonna say Jamal Adams, you know, especially.

665
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: When he was with uh New York, what he was doing.

666
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 10: I mean, to have the ability to to blitz and

667
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 10: and like I said, I would, I would like a

668
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 10: Jamal And and this is no you know, like Troy

669
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 10: POLAMALU like to have the ability to know and to

670
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 10: be instinctual around the football and just like, hey, I'm

671
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 10: supposed to blitz here, but this is open.

672
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I'm kind of taking this.

673
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 10: And then you know you're getting strip sacks and you're

674
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 10: making game changing plays.

675
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: I think that's huge.

676
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: Justin real quick because we're running short on time. What

677
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: the one thing I love all day I wish you

678
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: had more time is the physicality of all those guys.

679
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: And Justin really appreciates you with the time you gave us,

680
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: but also the time you give all those young people

681
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: with the Justin Simmons Foundation. You get a three time

682
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: Walter Payton of the Year nominee for the Denver Broncos.

683

Speaker 2: Justin Simmons appreciates your joy to the NFL Report.

684
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, Hey, thank you guys so much for having me again.

685
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 10: It was really a blast and I appreciate you.

686
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: Just an absolutely special player and a special interview coming

Speaker 2: Baldi's film Breakdowns. We're gonna take a look at Chase Young,

689
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: who's headed to the forty nine ers. Next on the

690
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 2: NFL Report.

691
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: Welcome into my favorite segment each and every week, it's

692
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: Baldy's favorite films here on the NFL Report with Steve

693
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: Which and the man himself, Brian Baldinger in the middle.

694
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: What I love each week, though, is you always watch

695
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: these interviews that we have on before you What was

696
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: your take anything jump out of you from either Evan

697
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Ingram or Justin Simmons.

698
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: There was a lot.

699
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 3: There with both those guys.

700
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, I'm always trying to glean information

701
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 8: from intelligent players. I mean, obviously these are thinking man

702
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 8: type players, right. You listen to Evan speak, you listen

703
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 8: to Justin speak. I mean, these guys just aren't showing

704
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 8: up on Sunday. This is a year round. You know,

705
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 8: profession they take it seriously. They take your question seriously.

706
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 8: You know, there's a respect for what you guys do.

707
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 8: So I took that. But I just think that you know,

708
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 8: when you look at Evan and you talk about the

709
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 8: evolution of the tight end, and see if you bring

710
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 8: up the stat and for the top twenty receivers are

711
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 8: tight ends. I mean they're calling plays for these guys now,

712
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 8: these plays the offense is going through Evan, especially on

713
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 8: third downs. And then you look at Justin Simmons and

714
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 8: I just think I thought it was very interesting that

715
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 8: even when they gave up seventy to Miami, just the

716
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 8: difference between the explosive plays they surrendered that yeah, and

717
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 8: plays they could have made, and that it's not as

718
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 8: bad as it looked, and it's just Okay, we gotta

719
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 8: we gotta tighten this up.

720
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: We gotta fix this, you know.

721
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 8: And here they are, you know, keeping the Chiefs out

722
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 8: of the end zone and taking the ball away five now,

723
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 8: you know, five different times. And all of a sudden

724
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 8: you start looking at some of the players, Barreon Browning

725
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 8: and some of the guys that are there right now

726
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 8: and what they're doing. You know, they're putting this thing

727
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 8: on the right track in Denver.

728
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: Faulty quickly before we get to your favorite films, the

729
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 2: Raider situation. I mean, just to change over the timing

730
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: of it. Ain't no Connon coming in a quarterback now.

731
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: I mean, do they have a shot to get this

732
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 2: thing together?

733
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

734
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 8: We'll see what Antonio does. I've been on teams that

735
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 8: fire coaches. You play for the interim coach. The Raiders

736
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 8: have been through this with Gruden, you know, a couple

737
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 8: of years ago. The roster looks pretty incomplete to me. Yeah,

738
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 8: And I thought the contrast, honestly, of playing in the

739
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 8: t Troit on Monday night was a big part of

740
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 8: what Mark Davis did. I mean, here's the Lions and

741
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 8: we can see the building, we can see the development,

742
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 8: the draft picks, the stability at quarterback, all those things

743
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 8: that Detroit has, and then you see the fans and

744
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 8: just a dominant performance against the Raiders. I thought it

745
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 8: was because that's what the Raiders were supposed to be

746
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 8: doing with Josh and Dave Ziggler. They're supposed to be

747
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 8: doing what the Lions are, and it was clear they're

748
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 8: a long ways away from that.

749
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: Right now. All right, Baldy, Now let's get to your

750
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: film breakdowns, and let's start with a very intriguing trade

751
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: to me, and that's San Francisco going out and get

752
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 2: Washington defensive and Chase Young. And a few weeks ago

753
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: you said you really wanted to see him because frankly

754
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 2: we hadn't.

755
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I look at Chase Young, got off to

756
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 8: a slow start. He's played better the last three weeks.

757
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 8: But I think for a third round pick, the forty

758
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 8: nine ers needed to do something up front. Cleveland Ferrell

759
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 8: isn't the answer. Nick Bosa is not having a great

760
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 8: season so far. They needed and like just an induction

761
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 8: of energy and talent to that defense front because the

762
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 8: entire defense Steve is built around their front floor. And

763
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 8: Justin Hargrave is underperformed to this point, and they're not

764
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 8: making the impactful plays and affecting the quarterback the way

765
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 8: they want to, and they're zone team behind it, Steve,

766
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 8: and so all of a sudden, like you look at

767
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 8: what Kirk Cousins did. You look what Joe Burrow did

768
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 8: last week. If you're not hitting those guys and affecting

769
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 8: them and getting them down to the ground, they're gonna

770
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 8: carve you up. And both quarterbacks just carved the forty

771
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 8: nine ers defense up. I plauged John Lynch for making

772
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,479
Speaker 8: the move because I think it's gonna help.

773
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: Let's stay over there on the West coast, Baldy and

774
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: talk about a game and a team that you covered

775
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: and called last week in the Seattle Seahaws, And they

776
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: made some moves on their defensive line over the last

777
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: couple weeks. And at the deadline, you get Frank Clark,

778
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: they get Leonard Williams, they bolster that group. It's just

779
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: on the phone of the defensive fourty, ay are saying,

780
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: defensive line right now means more than anything in the

781
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: way the NFL is going right now. And you saw

782
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: Seattle up front, what do you see upfront specifically and

783
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: with this defense.

784
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that Jeron Reeve has been a great signing.

785
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 8: You know, in the middle, he's played great boy A Mafey,

786
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 8: the second year defensive end at of Minnesota.

787
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: He keeps developing.

788
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 8: But I think you know, to your point, James, it

789
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 8: is about your defensive fronts and how you can affect

790
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 8: a quarterback, especially when.

791
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 2: You get to January.

792
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 8: You've got to be able to like knock these guys

793
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 8: off their spots and hit them and not let the

794
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 8: pass the game just take over. And so Big Kat

795
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 8: Williams a good player against the run.

796
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 2: In the pass. Frank Clark, I mean, I remember Pete

797
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: Carroll said when he was.

798
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 8: A rookie, He's the single most explosive player I've ever drafted. Now,

799
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 8: I don't know that Frank is still the same guy,

800
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 8: but he you know, he shows up in the postseason.

801
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 8: He has the last couple of years of Kansas City.

802
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 8: So I expect that to be a difference because on

803
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 8: the back end, you look at Jordan Brooks and you

804
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 8: look at Bobby Way, they're silent, Jamal Adams, you look

805
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 8: at what Witherspoon is doing, and wooland and then Quandre

806
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 8: Diggs and Julian Love. They've got a great back end

807
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 8: of their defense. They'll all be better if they get

808
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 8: better rush and better push up front.

809
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Baldy, I mean you text to me like this

810
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: team is going to be tough to be in December.

811
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 2: Let's look on the other side of the ball though,

812
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 2: I mean Geno Smith, Now he's not surprising anybody anymore,

813
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 2: but he also has two rookie wide receivers. Two rookie

814
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: wide receivers that.

815
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 8: Are well look, I mean Dats and Smith and Jig

816
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 8: but the first round pick and Jake Bobo, the free

817
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 8: agent out of Duke. I mean, they have scored touchdowns

818
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 8: in each of the last two games, and they have

819
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 8: certain packages for him where I mean, it's still kind

820
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 8: of mind blowing to be where they take dk Metcalf

821
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 8: and Tyler Lockett off the field. Wow, And they're playing

822
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 8: these young guys out there, you know, and d Eskridge

823
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 8: got a chance to get activated last week.

824
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 2: So they have different packages for different things.

825
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 8: They also have the three tight end package, which as

826
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 8: good as there is in the league whether you put

827
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 8: out this league, Parkinson and at tight end, and then

828
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 8: they have two backs, you know, in Kenneth Walker and

829
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 8: the rookie Zach Charbonay. I just think they have what

830
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 8: you need to have. You've got to have versatility. Where

831
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 8: some team matches up with you, it can take something away.

832
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 8: Can you beat them a different way? And I think

833
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 8: Seattle is creating different ways to win. They juggled their

834
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 8: offensive line because of injuries. They've played a lot of

835
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 8: rookies in there. They've got a rookie right guard who's

836
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 8: playing great, but Charles Gross is back like they are.

837
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 8: They have fifteen rookies on the fifty three man roster,

838
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 8: which is almost unheard of, and so many of them

839
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 8: are contributing to this Pete Carroll team.

840
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: I bet you a lot of those guys are watching

841
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: Jason Peters pay back in his heyday, Baldy, and now

842
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: they're on the same squad.

843
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 8: You know, I told Jason the other day's right, he's

844
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 8: ready to go in.

845
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's ready. He's ready.

846
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: He's still got there, He's still out there, Baldy. Appreciate

847
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: it's my favorite segment each and every week. Appreciate you

848
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: stip by once again. It's Aidan O'Connell. He's gonna be

849
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: starting for the Las Vegas Raiders.

850
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: Do we have a.

851
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: Quarterback crisis on our hands? Steve, Pep Hamilton's gonna answer

852
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 1: that question on the NFL Report coming up.

853
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: Next back with the final segment here the NFL Report

854
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 2: in James, it's time for aught a Pep talk with

855
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: our in house coach, former head coach offense, Pep Hamilton

856
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 2: in the house, Pep, I'm loving the Howard University helmet

857
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 2: are Alma water sitting there behind you. But let's get

858
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: to somethings more important, and that is what you described

859
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: to us off air as a quarterback crisis going on

860
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: in the NFL right now. Please explain it well.

861
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 9: I think is two parts, Steve. It's a quarterback crisis

862
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 9: that's ultimately fueled by a patience crisis, meaning that the

863
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 9: fantasy owners, the active owners, the franchise owners, the fans,

864
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 9: everybody extremely impatient with your quarterbacks. And it's a process

865
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 9: that takes you know, it takes you years at times

866
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 9: and in order to really.

867
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 2: Get your quarterback ready to play winning football.

868
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 9: But specific to the quarterback crisis that I think we're

869
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 9: dealing with right now, we've had forty two starting quarterbacks

870
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 9: up until this point of the season. True and We're

871
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 9: coming off a year where we had sixty four starting

872
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 9: quarterback steeds last year, which was, by the way, a

873
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 9: NFL record for the number of different starting quarterbacks. So

874
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 9: availability is the most important ability, and right now we

875
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 9: can't keep our quarterbacks upright and they're not available.

876
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: Pepa, I'm curious, what is the reason why we can't

877
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: keep quarterbacks upright and available? If you could put your

878
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: finger on maybe three different maybe reasons why or something

879
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: like that.

880
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 9: Well, I'm glad you asked that, James, because first and foremost,

881
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 9: it's the first time you know that in my you know,

882
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 9: my years in the NFL, my years in coaching, that

883
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 9: we've had a trickle up effect. In years past, there

884
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 9: would be different trends and different things that teams did

885
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 9: schematically across the NFL that you would see at times

886
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 9: on Saturday afternoon when you're watching college football. Where now

887
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 9: it's the inverse of that is, you know, NFL teams

888
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 9: are now majoring in shotgun formations, majoring in eleven personnel,

889
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 9: running more RPOs, and calling specifically more plays where the

890
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 9: quarterback is being asked to run the football and leave

891
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 9: and vacate that halo, that sanctuary that you have in

892
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 9: the pocket where it's intended to keep them safe and upright.

893
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's interesting. It's also you talk by

894
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 2: the lack of patience in Las Vegas. That goes to

895
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: the extreme because you're blowing up the head coach no

896
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: see the GM. But now they're also blowing out their

897
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 2: quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. They're putting in rookie Aiden O'Connell. Okay,

898
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: but here's the question for you. He's had, he's got

899
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 2: a little bit of action, but you just got rid

900
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 2: of his play designer and his play caller, and Josh

901
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 2: McDaniels and his play installer and Mick Lombardi. The guy

902
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 2: who's gonna be hanling all of that for him now

903
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: is bo Hart Agree, who's been a long time assistant

904
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 2: in quarterback coach, but he hasn't called plays based on

905
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: everything we know about him.

906
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 9: Well, I think the good news is boheart Agree is

907
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 9: going to continue to filter through the information that that

908
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 9: that Aidan O'Connor is going to need to be able

909
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 9: to go out and play fast and play winning football.

910
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 9: And when I say filtered through it, you know with

911
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 9: the quarterback, less is more and with young quarterbacks. You

912
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 9: want to almost stage each play for them so that

913
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 9: you can mitigate the what is and the possibilities of

914
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 9: bad things happening and hope that their instincts allowed them

915
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 9: to go out and function in a way that you

916
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 9: can win each play. But yeah, he's going to be

917
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 9: faced with a ton of challenges. I'm talking Aidan O'Connell.

918
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 9: But the good news is his quarterback coach, his position coach,

919
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 9: which is likely the person that he spit the most

920
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 9: one on one time with, will continue to be in

921
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 9: his ear.

922
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: Pep if you could, because Steve and I have never

923
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: had the luxury of doing this, take us behind closed

924
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: doors into what that quarterback room might be like this

925
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: week and what really has to go down for as

926
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: much success as possible on Sunday between Bow between Aid

927
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: and O'Connell, and what needs to happen, what probably is

928
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: happening in that room. When you say less is more.

929
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: Well, you know I would say this.

930
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 9: I think that you know, Bo is going to have

931
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 9: his hands full in just you know, carrying that responsibility

932
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 9: of coming up with the game play, coming up with

933
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 9: the strategies that they're going to feel are going to

934
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 9: be necessary for them to go out and win the game.

935
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 9: One thing I do know is he's going to have

936
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 9: the luxury of having an experienced play caller in the

937
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 9: building on the offensive side of the ball.

938
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 6: Specifically is Scott Turner. You know, Scott Turner.

939
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 9: Is a part of the offensive staff at the Raiders,

940
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 9: and so I'm sure that Scott will help to facilitate

941
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 9: some of the organizational things that Boa is going to

942
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 9: have to take on in his new role as the

943
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 9: play caller and the offensive coordinator. But there's nothing more important,

944
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 9: all right than the coordinator's ability to play call, his

945
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 9: ability to translate his thoughts to that young quarterback who's

946
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 9: got to go out there and function and play at

947
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 9: a high level.

948
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 6: Truly under the rest.

949
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're playing the Giants. What's wake Martindale gonna be

950
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 2: throwing at an ogonal building? You may not see right

951
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: safety in the post entire So we're and this is

952
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 2: great because we were talking last night. We were talking

953
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: about the turnover not just in head coaches but in coordinators,

954
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 2: and got like, how has that impacted the quarterback because

955
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 2: the level has been significant.

956
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 9: Well since two thousand and six, I think it is, Steve,

957
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 9: there's been two hundred and twenty six offensive coordinator opens

958
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 9: in the NFL. And fortunately, but unfortunately, I've had the opportunity.

959
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 2: That's right, two hundred you're clienting that number pounds.

960
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, when you add when you had Nick Lombardi

961
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 9: to that, you know, I just added Nick Lombardy.

962
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: It was two twenty five. Now we had tune twenty

963
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 2: six since the last time we.

964
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: Talked, and on the fly bath right there.

965
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, right, during that period, I had the opportunity to

966
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 9: call plays with three different NFL franchises. But nevertheless, what

967
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 9: we're seeing is, and I go back to my point

968
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 9: of we have a patience crisis going on, not just

969
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 9: in the National Football League but in America, in society

970
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 9: as all. Everybody wants an instant grit. So you know,

971
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 9: they don't want to put the beans in the in

972
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 9: the crock pot and let him similar anymore.

973
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 3: They want the.

974
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 9: Quarterbacks to get out of college football and be ready

975
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 9: to control and fly the space shuttle to the moon.

976
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 2: And that's ambitious. Yeah, that is ambitious, even though even

977
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 2: though we know Josh Dobbs might be able to at

978
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 2: least fly the rocket to the mood. Yeah, he could

979
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 2: take it. This here's a rocket tie this. You know,

980
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: Josh Dobbs, you'll probably be starting with the Vikings, sometimes

981
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,360
