Who should you target? Who should you try 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: to unload? Who can you fool him and steal away 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 2: for nothing? Michael lef Florio has insight you need before 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: you click, except if you don't have Bonnicks or Jane 8 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: Daniels on your fantasy team. Probably a little bit late 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: for that, but both rookie quarterbacks have a lot to 10 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 2: play for on the real field the next seven weeks, 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 2: including Rookie of the Year honors. Bucky Brooks will be 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 2: here to tell you who he'd vote for. Could Braden 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: Fisk be the defensive rookie of the Year? 14 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: Now? 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: What we do know is he's making his debut on 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 2: this show tonight and he does not spell his last 17 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: name the same way as Carlton. Welcome inside with the 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: Insiders alongside Judy Battista and Mike Garrifola. 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: So I am Tom Pellaicero. 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: We are on the eve of week twelve in the NFL. 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 2: We've got so much to talk to you about over 22 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: these next sixty minutes. But we start out for the 23 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: second Wednesday in a row in Chicago where things looked 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: just a little bit better after the offensive coordinator change 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: last week, the Bears breaking a streak and this is 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 2: a real streak of twenty five consecutive offensive possessions without 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: a touchdown in the first game with Thomas Brown replacing 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: Shane Waldron as the play caller. As for any changes 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: to the offense, Williams said, they really haven't stripped it 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: down too much. 31 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it simplified it. 32 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 4: We didn't reinvent the will for those three or four 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: days that you know, Thomas became, you know, the office 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 4: coordinator and play caller. We just I think the decisiveness, 35 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 4: I think all of that came from one hour meetings 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: and how we're going to do things. I think it 37 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 4: came from being able to get play calls in faster 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 4: and being able to get up there and not feel 39 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 4: like you're rushed or not feel like you know you 40 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 4: you you need to hurry up and get the ball 41 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 4: snap and things like that. I think I think all 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 4: of these small things, details of routes, details of you know, 43 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 4: the blocking, details of the the the path of running backs, 44 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 4: and how we're going to do things. 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: I think. 46 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 4: I think that led into all of what happened last week. 47 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: It's a really painful way to lose a game, obviously 48 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: on a blocked field goal when you're trying to snap 49 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: this long skid against your most heated rival MIC but 50 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: you look at the numbers they put up close to 51 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: four hundred yards Caleb's twenty three of thirty one passing 52 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: in that game. Another tough opponent this week against the Vikings, 53 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: but at least for the first time in the past month, 54 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: there we seem to maybe there's some positive momentum for 55 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: that Bears offense. 56 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 5: Well, you could tell that they have respect for Thomas Brown, 57 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 5: you could tell Kyle that Williams does. It seems to 58 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 5: be more of a calming presence right now, which is 59 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 5: what they needed, and getting the play in early. You 60 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 5: heard Williams talk about that. That was the emphasis last week. 61 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 5: Get him to the line and give him a chance 62 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 5: to assess things. That helps a young quarterback, That helps 63 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 5: any quarterback. I can't We've seen Aaron Rodgers to the sideline, 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 5: moving his head. Let's go get the call and get 65 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 5: the call, and to get we got to get the 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 5: call in. I mean, it helps you assess things when 67 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 5: you're at the line of scrimmage, so definitely looked like 68 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 5: he was more comfortable in that aspect. He was asked 69 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 5: if you know he needed some kind of confidence boost, 70 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 5: if he needed a showing like this. He downplayed that. 71 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 5: I don't know. I think he did, and I really 72 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 5: think he did, because you're looking at where they are 73 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 5: right now. This is the end of a three game 74 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 5: stretch where they're not playing on the road, they're at home, 75 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 5: and they're heading on the road for three games including 76 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 5: games at Detroit and at Minnesota that's coming up. So 77 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 5: you know that it's not terrible from a weather standpoint. 78 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 5: San Francisco, I think is in the middle of those, 79 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 5: so not from a weather standpoint, but tough defenses and 80 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 5: judy some loud environments as well. So getting the line 81 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 5: early that's going to help you in that regard. 82 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 6: Well, look, I mean last week is obviously a small 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 6: sample size compared to the rest of the season, but 84 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 6: it was encouraging. He was getting the ball out more quickly, 85 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 6: as he said, he was more decisive. Of course, now 86 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 6: against the Vikings, all of that is going to be important, 87 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 6: and the question is can that be sustained or was 88 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 6: that a one off? Because the Vikings are almost certainly 89 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 6: going to be in Caleb Williams's face a lot. 90 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 7: They bring a. 91 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 5: Lot of pressure. 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 6: Until last week the Bears were not handling pressure all 93 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 6: that well. Right, He gets sacked a lot. He gets 94 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 6: sacked more than any quarterback in the NFL. The Vikings 95 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 6: like to blitz. He has been sacked on blitzes. His 96 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 6: passing average per attempt goes way down when he faces 97 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 6: a blitz. So they struggle again against pressure, and the 98 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 6: Vikings bring a lot of pressure. So we will see 99 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 6: here if the changes to the offense they're brand new, 100 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 6: if they can be carried over against one of the 101 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 6: NFL's best defense as and a defense that, at least 102 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 6: on paper, presents a very poor matchup for the Bears 103 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 6: right now. 104 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: Not overly dramatic to say, the Bears season very much 105 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: may be on the line. On Sunday, Get Soldier Field 106 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: against the Vikings. That game in the one pm Eastern 107 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: time window. Same time, we've got Giants Bucks, a game 108 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 2: that is mostly relevant to this show because yes, it's 109 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: the return of Tommy cutlets Tommy Devido back as the 110 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: number one quarterback. As they come off the buy. Brian 111 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 2: Daboles said, this was a football decision for the team. 112 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones still a member of the Giants, but he's 113 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: not number one, he's not number two, he might not 114 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: even be number three. 115 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: Brian Dabole explain yourself. 116 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 8: Look, everybody's not going to agree with the decision, and 117 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 8: I understand that we make the decision we feel is 118 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 8: best and then we move forward and get ready to 119 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 8: go for practicing. I'm not gonna go you know what's 120 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 8: going to be. I'm gonna focus on this week with Tampa, 121 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 8: you know, try to do the best shot we can 122 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 8: to get him ready to play so he can go 123 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 8: out there and perform it at the highest level he can. 124 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 9: Like that year is like a good story, you know, 125 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 9: it's kind of like how it happened, but you know, 126 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 9: all the fun and games like outside was it was fun. 127 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 9: It was last year. I'm kind of over that. I'm 128 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 9: sticking football now, not that I wasn't before it, but 129 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 9: really focused on that. The external stuff will be you know, 130 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 9: on pause. I will already have talks with everybody around me, 131 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 9: like my inner circle, like it is going to stay 132 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 9: very tight and make sure that everything is about productions 133 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 9: out someday it comes down to the small details. You know, everybody, 134 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 9: I'm sure across the league, there's always the little things 135 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 9: or like one play here, won't play there. But ultimately 136 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 9: that's what it is, like we're not scoring points. We 137 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 9: weren't scoring points like in the red zone situations, like 138 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 9: we just were missing the smallest details on to the 139 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 9: block here, I'll pass or cash and it's literally so 140 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 9: many things that all this adds up and we're accumulated 141 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 9: into that not being as productive as we can be. 142 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: So just trying going on those two thousand. 143 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 9: I've got a ton of support from everybody in the 144 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 9: locker room, a ton of support.

So maybe the 176 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: message just a little bit a little bit late on 177 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: some of that stuff here, Daniel Jones, if it wasn't 178 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: already apparent that Ara is over. We've seen him play 179 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: as last down for the Giants. They even signed Tim 180 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: Boyle yesterday, Mike, which potentially means Daniel Jones is. 181 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: Fourth on the depth charge. We roll back into the 182 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: Devido era. 183 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 5: We've seen this in recent years, Derek Carr, we talked 184 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 5: about it earlier today off the air, Russell Wilson, like, 185 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 5: we've seen guys who have been taken off the field 186 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 5: so that an injury guarantee next year doesn't trigger. We've 187 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 5: seen guys sent home like you just don't worry about it. 188 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 5: You'll even have to show up for work, no problem. 189 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 5: This is probably the longest stretch that we're going to 190 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 5: see now seven weeks left in the season here for 191 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 5: Daniel Jones to stand around in practice and just have 192 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 5: his hand in that handwarmer, knowing that he had the 193 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 5: keys to this car to start the season. It's going 194 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 5: to be an awkward situation. As Drew Lock called it, 195 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 5: an interesting situation. So you do feel for Daniel Jones. 196 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 5: You wonder if he's even gonna wind up talking to 197 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 5: the media at any point. I mean, there's just no upside. 198 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 5: Maybe there is, maybe there is, maybe there isn't who 199 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 5: knows we may not hear from him in that regard. 200 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 5: So yeah, it gonna be a lot of shots of 201 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 5: Daniel Jones, probably just wearing regular clothes on the sideline 202 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 5: at Giants games for the next month plus. We'll see 203 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 5: how he handles it. We'll see how Tommy DeVito does. 204 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, he's got that spunk, he's got 205 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 5: that spark, he's got that energy that he can bring, 206 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 5: and that's the hope here is that he's going to 207 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 5: bring this judy to this Giants offense. 208 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, as a matter of fact, somewhere in there, Brian 209 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 6: day Ball was sort of noncommittal about whether it was 210 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 6: Tommy DeVito for the rest of the season. 211 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 7: So it's even. 212 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 6: Possible that we see Drew Lock at some point. I 213 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 6: guess we'll see. I thank you for everybody in this 214 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 6: situation because it's incredibly awkward, and the fact that it 215 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 6: is going to be such a long period of time 216 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 6: with Daniel Jones just standing there actually goes to why 217 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 6: they had to bench Daniel Jones because they still have 218 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 6: so much of the season left to go. They just 219 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 6: couldn't run him out there. I mean, let's be honest, 220 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 6: they haven't won at home, yet the crowds turned on 221 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 6: him already. To run him out there again at MetLife 222 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 6: Stadium would have probably been pretty ugly and very very awkward. 223 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 6: Beyond awkward. So the fact that there is still so 224 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 6: much time left in the season points to why they 225 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 6: had to bench Daniel Jones. But man, this is going 226 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 6: to be a very strange seven weeks and a pretty 227 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 6: uncomfortable one, I think for the New York Giants. 228 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 2: And listen, we've talked about the injury guarantee. It's a 229 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: real thing. You don't want twenty three million dollars to 230 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 2: vest for next year because he gets hurt down the stretch. 231 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 2: But the graphic Weed just showed Daniel Jones three and 232 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: thirteen as the starter. Since the start of twenty three, 233 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 2: he's won as many games in sixteen starts as Tommy 234 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: DeVito one of those six starts that he got last year. 235 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: There's a football team that needed to change something up. Yes, 236 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: this is part of the impact of it is not 237 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 2: having that injury guarantee. But you got to throw something 238 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: at the wall at a time that mathematically, at least 239 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: you are still alive. By the way, Sean Slotta would 240 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 2: like you to know, you should walk the Glass Mountain barefoot. 241 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: That was the great quote that he had right before 242 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 2: Tommy Neil said no more, we're focusing solely on football. 243 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: Other side of this matchup, the Bucks are getting some 244 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: help back. 245 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: It appears their star wide receiver Mike Evans, spotted back 246 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,359 Speaker 2: on the practice field. Todd Bowles said, it is trending 247 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: toward Mike Evans being back for this game against the 248 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: Giants on Sunday. That would certainly be good news and 249 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: welcome news to Baker Mayfield. 250 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 11: It's huge just for you know, the chances we talk 251 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 11: about trying to get explosive plays and somehow creating that 252 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 11: and we've you know, trying to be you know, dialing 253 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 11: some things up within the scheme. But yeah, it's huge 254 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 11: to to be able to have that threat in one 255 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 11: on one coverage, to be able to take advantage of it, 256 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 11: and then when they do want to double cover him, 257 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 11: that opens things up for other guys. So yeah, it's 258 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 11: always a big factor when he's playing. I mean, you 259 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 11: guys have been around Mike for long enough now. The streak, Yeah, 260 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 11: it's important to us, but he cares about winning and 261 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 11: so he's a huge part of this offense when he's 262 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 11: in there, so it's I think that'll come naturally. 263 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: But force. 264 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 11: I've been in the situation where you're trying to force 265 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 11: feed the ball to a guy and that's that's not 266 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 11: how this offense works, especially so staying true of the 267 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 11: Reids defense, like I said, dictate where the ball needs 268 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 11: to go. When we have our one on one matchups 269 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 11: with him, we need to take advantage of it. 270 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 8: Though. 271 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 2: Doing some quick math here, Mike Evans right now three 272 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five yards this season seven games to go, 273 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: so he'd have to average ninety five yards judy over 274 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: the last seven games to get to a thousand. We've 275 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: seen him make these comebacks before. But bigger picture, the 276 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: more important thing to the Bucks. They're still alive. The 277 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: NFC South doesn't have anybody running away with it, and 278 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: when they've been healthy, it plays a pretty good football right. 279 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 6: Forget they have lost every game since Mike Evans got hurt, 280 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 6: including the game in which he got hurt, which was 281 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 6: Week seven. It's all been exacerbated by the fact that 282 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 6: Chris Godwin is also out, so there's been really nothing 283 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 6: for Baker Mayfield to rely on that he had Before, 284 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 6: when those guys were healthy, the offense was rolling. But 285 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 6: since Mike Evans was hurt, he has only been averaging 286 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 6: about five point nine yards per passe attempt. 287 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 5: That's two full yards. 288 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 6: Below where he was before Mike Evans and Chris Godwin 289 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 6: got hurt in Week seven, So this is obviously a 290 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 6: significant boost to the offense. Godwin is out for the season, 291 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 6: but getting Evans back will at least give Baker Mayfield 292 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 6: one of his most reliable targets, one of his most 293 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 6: dynamic targets. 294 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 5: And as you. 295 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 6: Pointed out, like this is a really good time for it, 296 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 6: because yes, they have lost four games in a row, 297 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 6: but they have not been buried in the NFC South 298 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 6: because the Atlanta Falcons have come back to earth a 299 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 6: little bit. They've lost too in a row. They have 300 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 6: tough games coming up. They have the Chargers this week, 301 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 6: So the division incredibly is still there for the taking 302 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 6: if the box, If Baker and Mike Evans can get 303 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 6: back into a rhythm and start putting up some points 304 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 6: and winning some games, the division is definitely there for 305 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 6: the winning. 306 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 307 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 5: Over the next three weeks, the Bucks have a bye 308 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 5: week and two tough games. I'm sorry. The Falcons have 309 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 5: a bye week and two tough games. The Buccaneers have 310 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 5: three extremely winnable games. They sweep them all, and the Falcons, 311 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 5: who are showing signs of backsliding here, lose all of 312 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 5: a sudden, They're back in first place. They have to 313 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 5: overcome that head to head tiebreaker which they don't have, 314 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 5: which is unfortunate. But in talking to folks in and 315 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 5: around this team the last couple of days, you get 316 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 5: the sense that after the bye week, caught their breath, 317 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 5: looked up and said, we are right in this thing 318 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 5: right here, and we have a good team. We have 319 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 5: a talented team. We're getting Evans back, We're getting Jimmel 320 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 5: Dean back as well. The expectation, from my understanding is 321 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 5: he should be able to play this weekend, the cornerback 322 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 5: for the Buccaneers. It's gonna be tough, but the road 323 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 5: ahead of them is not littered with a lot of 324 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 5: tough games. In fact, they got the Panthers twice coming 325 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 5: up here. Sorry, Panthers, don't mean to disrespect you, but 326 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 5: it is what It is so interesting to watch the 327 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 5: Buccaneers see if they can come back and make their 328 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 5: way into the postseason. Or perhaps within the division. 329 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: And worth remembering the bucks of the one team this 330 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: season that have beaten the Lions, who right now look 331 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: like the runaway favorites in the NFC. Lions team that 332 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: put up a franchise record in yards and plus fifty 333 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: two points on Sunday against the Jaguars without one of 334 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: their top weapons. Coach Dan Campbell saying today confirming that 335 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: Sam Laporta, their tight end who missed that game because 336 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 2: of his injury, is truly going to be questionable for 337 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: this week's game against the Colts. But Campbell also said 338 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: it seems to be trending in the right direction as 339 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: if the Lions need one more weapon on the field. 340 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: The Cowboys do need all the help that they can get. 341 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: Wide receiver Brandon Cooks, who's been on injured reserve for 342 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: almost the entire season because of a knee injury, has 343 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: been designated to return. They opened up his twenty one 344 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: day practice window bringing him back to practice. 345 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: That would be big. 346 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: It may not be enough for the Cowboys, but Cooper 347 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: Rush needs all the help that they could get. A 348 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: veteran wide receiver would certainly certainly not hurt. Somebody's gonna 349 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: be getting a new quarterback in the draft next year. 350 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: Shadu Or Sanders widely believed to be the top or 351 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 2: at least one of the top quarterback prospects according to 352 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: scouts within the league. He's accepted invitation to the East 353 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: West Shrine Bowl. There was a memo recently from the 354 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: NFL making clear if you accept an invitation as a player, 355 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 2: you are expected to play in the game. Now, does 356 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: that mean three snaps? We'll find out, But Shadoor, at 357 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: least we're going to see one more time at East West. 358 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 12: Gino gets him back to the line of scrimmage twenty 359 00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 12: two twenty one, gets a snap, looks steps up, Gotta 360 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 12: run ten time. Jado hot Downyhawks, Holy catfish. Jao Smith 361 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 12: run flip side, can't find anybody open from thirteen out, 362 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 12: twelve seconds left. Heard the Seahawks take the lead nineteen seventeen. 363 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? 364 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 6: No quit in this lunch, Holy Catfish. Indeed, that was 365 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 6: some play by Gino Smith, but of course Omar Ruiz 366 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 6: joining us here on the Insiders. It also points to 367 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 6: the fact that the forty nine ers have had a 368 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 6: little bit of trouble closing out games, especially against Division opponents. 369 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 6: They've got a huge game this weekend that I know 370 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 6: you're going to be at. How are they planning to 371 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 6: stop that bad trend? 372 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 13: Well, first of all, shout out to Steve Rabel, the 373 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 13: voice of the Seahawks there. Whenever you hear those exciting 374 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 13: calls down this stretch in Seattle, you know it's a 375 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 13: big moment there. But the forty nine ers you mentioned it, 376 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 13: have blown three games now in division play where they 377 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 13: held the lead with less than two minutes to play, 378 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 13: and you saw their Geno Smith rushing for the eventual 379 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 13: game winning score that thirteen yard scramble. Earlier in that drive, 380 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 13: a sixteen yard scramble on second and thirteen, getting most 381 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 13: of the headlines, but the offense taking responsibility as well. 382 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 13: They got the ball back with less than four minutes 383 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 13: to play and what were unable to execute their four 384 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 13: minute offense only able to burn a minute eighteen off 385 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 13: the clock. So obviously the forty nine ers looking for answers, 386 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 13: especially in the run game. You see Christian McCaffrey there 387 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 13: had a long of eleven yards in that game. Thirteen 388 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 13: yards was his long against Tampa. Kyle Shanahan saying they're 389 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 13: missing those explosive plays in the run game, and he 390 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 13: illustrated their matchup against Seattle the first time around, where 391 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 13: they had a seventy eight yard or a thirty six 392 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 13: yarder in that game. That's the different right now with 393 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 13: that offense obviously, injuries a concern for the forty nine ers, 394 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 13: Kyle Shanahan saying the fact that brock Pritty was limited 395 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 13: today with that shoulder injury was a good sign, but 396 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 13: Nick Bosa Trent Williams, they both didn't play. Nick Bosa 397 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 13: injuring his hip and oblique on the other side, that 398 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 13: he had been dealing with that similar injury previously and 399 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 13: noticeably absent from that final drive against Seattle. George Kittle, 400 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 13: who missed that game against Seattle with the hamstring injury, 401 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 13: did say in the locker room today telling reporters that 402 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 13: he will play, and McCaffrey expected to play too, just 403 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 13: getting that typical day off rest and still maintaining that 404 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 13: achilles injury that obviously caused him missed the first half 405 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 13: of the season, all right. 406 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 6: The Niners opponent this week is the Packers, who have 407 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 6: also been living on the edge but getting much better results. 408 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 6: They are winning games that come right down to the wire. 409 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 6: We saw that incredible ending last week. Give us an 410 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 6: update on the Packers. 411 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 13: Yeah, sensational finish. Matt Floor pointing out that the block 412 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 13: field goal win against the Bears was their third win 413 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 13: in a row that they won with the Zeros on 414 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 13: the clock. They had a couple game winning field goals 415 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 13: at the Buzzer previously to that Lions loss, and he 416 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 13: credits the resilience, the toughness that all starts with Jordan 417 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 13: Love in that regard, and the Packers certainly at seven 418 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 13: to three showing that they can finish games. And you 419 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 13: talk about this matchup the Packers and the forty nine Ers. 420 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 13: Another interesting wrinkle in this matchup is that Robert Sala, 421 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 13: the former defensive coordinator for the forty nine Ers, has 422 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 13: been an offensive consultant for the Green Bay Packers since 423 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 13: he was let go earlier this season by the New 424 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 13: York Jets, and Matt Lafleur saying that Sala push for 425 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 13: the idea for one of Christian Watson's big plays. Watson 426 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 13: obviously a huge game on Sunday against the Bears, and 427 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 13: another wrinkle to this matchup given that Kyle Shanahan and 428 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 13: Robert Sala go back to two thousand and six when 429 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 13: they're on the staff together with the Houston and Texans, 430 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 13: and of course Matt Lafleur and Kyle Shanahan go back 431 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 13: to two thousand and eight on that same staff with 432 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 13: the Texans. So the Packers looking to continue their big play, 433 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 13: applauding Christian Watson for his effort for targets, four catches, 434 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 13: one hundred and fifty yards. They're certainly looking to get 435 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 13: him involved, and that they did, but they weren't all 436 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 13: joyous in the locker room, Att Lafleur saying, still working 437 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 13: for things to improve there, that a couple stops in 438 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 13: the red zone that they're looking to address as they 439 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 13: head into that matchup against the Niner. 440 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 6: Sunday Omar, thank you don't go far because I know 441 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 6: you're coming back to talk about another team. 442 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 5: In the meantime, Mike, Yep, we're gonna talk rookie quarterbacks now, 443 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 5: Judy Sean Page. You see what he said down there 444 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 5: about bo Nicks and how he's adapted. Yeah, he's adapted 445 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 5: pretty well lately, and he has made the conversation about 446 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 5: the rookie quarterbacks, about offensive rookies in general. He's made 447 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 5: it a conversation now between him and Jayden Daniels. See 448 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 5: the comparison there. And as we bring in our Bucky 449 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 5: Brooks here, Remember all the talk coming into the draft, Bucky, 450 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 5: I know you do, big draft guy. Remember all the 451 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 5: talk about Bo Knicks and a lot of passes behind 452 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage, close to the line, like not 453 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 5: a lot down the field. This past week nine point 454 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 5: three yards per attempt a season high for him. So 455 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 5: driving the football down the field a little bit more, 456 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 5: making himself more dangerous. Let's talk about it, Jayden Daniels, 457 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 5: bow Knicks has Bo cut the lead into the conversation 458 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 5: for who's having the best year of the offensive rookies in. 459 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 14: The quarterbacks, he has absolutely into the conversation as offensive 460 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 14: rookie the year candidate. 461 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 7: You can make a case that maybe he should be 462 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 7: the front runner. 463 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 14: He leads all rookies with nineteen offensive touchdowns since Week four. Look, 464 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 14: he's the leader in passing yards per game, he's a 465 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 14: leader in passer rating, he's a leader in pass touchdowns. 466 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 7: So he certainly deserves to be in that conversation. 467 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 14: And when you look at the way the Denver Broncos 468 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 14: have kind of got into the race. They played teams 469 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 14: really will. He and Sean Payton have nice synergy when 470 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 14: it comes to the way Sean Payton is called in 471 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 14: the game and the way that bow Knicks is executing 472 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 14: the game. And each week you see Sean Payton putting 473 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 14: more on his plate. So yes, there were a lot 474 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 14: of people that were talking about how is he going 475 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 14: to transition from playing like he played at Oregon to 476 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 14: playing in the National Football League. But so far, so 477 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 14: good for the young plate maker for the Broncos. 478 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 5: And Bucky remember that scene earlier in earlier in the season, 479 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 5: they're barking at each other, Nix and Peyton on the sideline. 480 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 5: Talk to somebody close to Knicks a couple of days 481 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 5: ago who said, yeah, there's been a good give and take. 482 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 5: They've learned each other. Bow will stand there and give 483 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 5: it back, and that's what you need when you've got 484 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 5: a coach like Sean Payton. So that dynamic is certainly 485 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 5: working for them as well. Thank you, Bucky Brooks. All Right, 486 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 5: I'm gonna stop talking about rookie quarterbacks because in just 487 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 5: a couple of minutes here we're going to talk to 488 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 5: a rookie defensive tackle who likes to swallow quarterbacks. Rookies 489 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 5: are not whole. Braydon Fisk, Rams defensive tackle, gonna join 490 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 5: us shortly.

And I 517 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 5: always wonder, is the rookie wall there? Have you climbed 518 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 5: it yet? Have you felt it yet? What are your approach? 519 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 5: What is your approach going to be for when you 520 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 5: do meet it? If you haven't met it yet? How 521 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 5: you feeling this time of year? 522 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 3: I think that early bye week came at just the 523 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 3: right time for me. I think it started hit pretty quick. 524 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. 525 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 15: I think you just go from the six or whatever 526 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 15: weeks it was for training camp and you go right 527 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 15: in the season. So and he was a good kind 528 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 15: of twelve and twelve. I think it ends up being so. 529 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 15: I think it's a good vi point. I think by 530 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 15: that by weekuse I need this pretty bad. And the 531 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 15: h Yeah, I think coming out of the boars are 532 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 15: right cool. We can get a little got a little refresh, 533 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 15: a little fresh start. That's when things started to turn 534 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 15: over for me a little bit too. So it's been good. 535 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 15: It's been good ever since. 536 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: So for a long time. Aaron Donald obviously was the 537 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 2: guy who covered up a lot defensively for the RAM 538 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: because he's drawn two and three blockers, he's freeing up 539 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: everybody else. That guy's gone. I know it's oversimplification to 540 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 2: say you step in, but this is a really young 541 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: defense as a whole. What's clicking for you specifically, but 542 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: also this entire defense right now? 543 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 15: Yeah, And I think just as a whole, you know, 544 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 15: where we just enjoyed playing together. I think that's been 545 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 15: like the coolest part about this group of how we've 546 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 15: grown over the season. And I think early on we 547 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 15: had some you know struggles of you know, just playing 548 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 15: off each other, especially in our past for us and 549 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 15: run game fits and just you know, kind of finding 550 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 15: where we all fit in. And I think as the 551 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 15: seasons gone on, you that's kind of where we've progressed 552 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 15: the most. And I think, you know, what you see 553 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 15: now is we just have fun playing together. I mean 554 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 15: some of the mic moments we have as a team 555 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 15: and some of just you know, some of the meetings 556 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 15: that we have as a U and I mean you 557 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 15: could just see the you know, pure enjoyment of going 558 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 15: out there together and playing and you know, specifically up front, 559 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 15: you know, just our past RUSS meetings, like we get 560 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 15: excited for you. I mean, we we know, you know, 561 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 15: where we're fitting on each other as far as you 562 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 15: know our pass rush lanes and you know, passing things 563 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 15: off and you know, just find ways to get to 564 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 15: the quarterback. And I think we've just gotten better and 565 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 15: better and more comfortable. And yeah, I mean it's it's 566 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 15: been a lot of fun. 567 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 5: One of the things I love about the NFL draft 568 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 5: is these large humans just getting emotional and breaking down. 569 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 5: And we saw that with you. You get drafted, you're 570 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 5: really excited the rams call. I got got drafted in 571 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 5: the NFL.

How do you 672 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: get after these guys are talented team and go get 673 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 2: a win. 674 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 15: Yeah, And I think defensively, just keep doing what we're doing. 675 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 15: You know, we're flying around, playing fast football. You know, 676 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 15: we got a lot of young guys out there on 677 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 15: the field, but you know, we're playing together, and I 678 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 15: think that's the biggest thing, you know, you know, getting 679 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 15: hats to the ball. I mean, this is a team 680 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 15: with a lot of guys from the inside out, you know, 681 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 15: very talented team. You know, from a lot of their 682 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 15: school guys. I mean they make a lot of plays. 683 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 15: So yeah, I think the key for us is gonna 684 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 15: have more assistant tackles and solo tackles, I mean, getting 685 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 15: hasts to the ball, flying around, and then you know, 686 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 15: offensively with the guys we got out there, you know, 687 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 15: I trust nine out there all day, especially with Coope 688 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 15: and Polka. You know, no dullas. Guys can go out 689 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 15: there and get it dumb. But you know, I like 690 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 15: where we're at. You know, we got a good pace 691 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 15: going on defense. We're only trending up, and you know, 692 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 15: I'm'm excited we're gonna compete. 693 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,719 Speaker 2: Even though Stafford's getting old, it has a gray beard, 694 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 2: still can get in done. 695 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: Huge game this week. 696 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 2: Brandon, You've been awesome man, Please please come back on 697 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 2: the show again. 698 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 3: Most definitely appreciate you guys having me. Thank you. 699 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. 700 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 2: They are back, they're well rested, and they are a 701 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 2: top the NFC West Division as we roll into Week 702 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 2: twelve and a huge matchup this week against the Seahawks. 703 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the insiders, Tom Pelasero now joined by 704 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 2: Omar Ruiz down there in Arizona. They're back from the 705 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: by Omar. They're a top division. What's the warder on 706 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 2: that team? How they finish this thing off? 707 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 13: Yeah, well they're going into round eleven, as Jonathan Gannon explains, 708 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 13: maintaining that process driven approach. And I ask an in today, 709 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 13: when do the stakes of the game start to maybe 710 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 13: change how they look at that process, and he said, 711 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 13: essentially they don't because they have so many young players 712 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 13: that have played in big games throughout the season. He said, 713 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 13: when they played at Buffalo, that was a big game 714 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 13: that young players played in and they all count the same. 715 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 13: So they'll continue that approach heading into Seattle. I asked 716 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 13: something similar to Kyler Murray, especially after the Cardinals went 717 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 13: into the buy with two blowouts, one against the Bears 718 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 13: one against the Jets, and he said, it's up to 719 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 13: them from team leadership to keep those young guys not 720 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 13: from getting complacent, so they're sole focused maintains on the Seahawks. 721 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 13: They're blasting that music loudly at practice. I heard a 722 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 13: lot of that Seattle themed music, Jimmy Hendrix, Foo fighters 723 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 13: making sure that they're prepared for that loud and hostile environment. 724 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 13: And I thought Jonah Williams, the offensive tackle who was 725 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 13: freshly activated off ir today, said something interesting. Muncovering a 726 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 13: lot of games over the years in Seattle, never heard this. 727 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 13: He said, you probably you might miss a play call 728 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 13: in the huddle because it's so loud. But he said 729 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 13: it is up to them to know the playbooks so 730 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 13: well that what other gaps that they don't hear, they're 731 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 13: able to fill in based on the situation at the 732 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 13: rat where they're at on the field, that down and distance. 733 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 5: That was interesting. 734 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 13: One other note about the Cardinals, Darius Robinson, their first 735 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 13: round pick, the defensive lineman who had that calf injury 736 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 13: in training camp. We have yet to see him practice 737 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 13: for the second day in a row. He wouldn't say 738 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 13: if he's playing on Sunday or not, but certainly excited 739 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 13: to be getting closer. So these Cardinals I mentioned Williams 740 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 13: mentioned Robinson could be adding more reinforcements down the stretch. 741 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: Here, Tom, keep forgetting Darius Robinson's They got Marvin Harrison Junior, 742 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 2: who's been one of the top rookies so far this season. 743 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 2: They got a second first rounder who's yet to see 744 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 2: the Field's been a long journ that Darius Robinson. Hopefully 745 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 2: he's back soon. Omar, Thank you very much, Big one 746 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 2: Cardinals and Seahawks. 747 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: That's not the only one around the league. 748 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 6: Judy, you know, one of the most confounding things about 749 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 6: the Jacksonville Jaguars is just how complete their collapse has been. 750 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 6: They were eight and three at this point last season, 751 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 6: and now well they have two wins. Look at the 752 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 6: comparison seventeen and eleven in Doug Peterson's first twenty eight 753 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 6: games and only three and fourteen. Since points per game 754 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 6: way down, points per game allowed way up, all of 755 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 6: the numbers going in exactly the wrong direction for the 756 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 6: Jacksonville Jaguars as we welcome back our Bucky Brooks, who 757 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 6: knows this team about as well as anybody can. The Jaguars, 758 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 6: we should note, are in their bye week right now. 759 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 6: It's been quiet this week, maybe a little bit quieter 760 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 6: than many people expected it to be in Jacksonville. But Bucky, 761 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 6: take us behind the curtain a little bit. What's the 762 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 6: boot there? What's the expectation for the rest of the season. 763 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it's been tough, Judy. 764 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 14: You talking about a season where the team came in 765 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 14: with playoff expectations. The owner thought it was the most 766 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 14: talented team that he's as symbol during his time in Jacksonville, 767 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 14: and so there was a lot of optimism that despite 768 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 14: the collapse last season, this team was going to bounce back. 769 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 14: They're going to play great football, and they were going 770 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 14: to be in the conversation of being a playoff contender, 771 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 14: maybe win the division. It hasn't gone their way, and 772 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 14: my eyes say that, like, look, it's a confidence thing, 773 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 14: it's an execution thing. 774 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 7: It's everyone not being on the same page. 775 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 14: And what you hope going into the bye week Now 776 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 14: that you've gone through it and it doesn't appear that 777 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 14: anything's going to be Dug, Doug Peterson and the staff. 778 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 14: They have to focus on trying to find a way 779 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 14: to finish the season strong. 780 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,240 Speaker 7: You have six games. 781 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 14: You want to reset, refocus, try and get the team 782 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 14: to play better football. One of the stats that you showed, 783 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 14: I think it was minus thirteen in the turnover margin. 784 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 14: Hard to win games in this league when you're giving 785 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 14: the ball away. The Jaguars have to work on dead 786 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 14: part of it and it would help. We don't know 787 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 14: if Trevor Lawrence comes back. What you're hoping that you 788 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 14: can start building a little momentum that give you some 789 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 14: confidence that twenty twenty five will be different in twenty 790 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 14: twenty four. 791 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 6: Right, that is something worth keeping an eye on in 792 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 6: the next few days. Whether Trevor Lawrence can return to 793 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 6: the lineup. That would certainly give them a boost as 794 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 6: they come down the stretch. Bucky, thank you very much. 795 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 6: And when we return, we're going to talk about somebody 796 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 6: who has absolutely not been a disappointment in any way, 797 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,479 Speaker 6: shape or form. 798 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 5: Bo Nix. 799 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 6: Is he a player you should be trying to trade 800 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 6: for in fantasy or Michael f Florio will join us. 801 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 2: It is fantasy trade deadline week unless you're in some 802 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 2: weird league where it's later or earlier. 803 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: Why would you do that to yourself? 804 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 2: If you're thinking about making a trade, you can contact 805 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 2: the NFL Fantasy account get some advice, or you can 806 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 2: stick around right now because it's time for safe flight, 807 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 2: repair and replace as we go inside with NFL Fantasy 808 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,839 Speaker 2: Live and our guy Michael f Florio, who is here 809 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 2: to repair and replace lineups. Okay, train talk here, Michael F. 810 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 2: Give me a quarterback or two you think could be 811 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 2: on the move in some fantasy leagues. 812 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 16: Yeah, right now, I would be trying to flip any 813 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 16: of Patrick Mahomes, Sam Darnold or Tua Tongue of Iloa 814 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 16: for bow Knicks because he's flat out been better than 815 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 16: all of them this season in fantasy football, averaging twenty 816 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 16: one point five fantasy points per game since Week five. 817 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 16: That is top five quarterback production, and the Broncos have 818 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 16: the fourth best remaining schedule, third best in the fantasy 819 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 16: playoffs for quarterbacks. 820 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 5: Meanwhile, Mahomes and Tua. 821 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 16: Have top twenty one that number I said Nicks is 822 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 16: averaging one time and their schedules are the top bottom 823 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 16: two for the rest of the way. For quarterbacks. Donald 824 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 16: also has a tough schedule. He has been productive, but 825 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 16: not quite to the level of Bonnicks. 826 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 5: All right, we're I haven't informed you we're having a 827 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 5: personnel meeting here because you helped me draft my team 828 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 5: on the Show back in September. We are clinging to 829 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 5: a playoff spot like Jayden Daniels, just hasn't brought it 830 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 5: as much as he did early to see. We need 831 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 5: more of early season Jayden. But forget that, let's talk 832 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 5: about running backs. I think we're okay at the running 833 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 5: back position, but I'll listen anyway. 834 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 16: Yeah, I know you both have alsin Eckler on your 835 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 16: team and he's been coming through. But I would look 836 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 16: right now to be trading Naji Harris, Chuba Hubbard or 837 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 16: Kareem Hunt for someone like Tony Pollard, partly because Pollard 838 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,399 Speaker 16: sees so much volume each week twenty opportunities per game, 839 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 16: and he has the second best remaining schedule for fantasy 840 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 16: running backs, third best in the fantasy playoffs. 841 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 7: When he gets get this. 842 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 16: The Bengals, Colts, and Jaguars, and he's coming off of 843 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 16: a couple of down games, so the price might be lower. 844 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 16: Naji Harris has the toughest remaining running back schedule. He 845 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 16: has the Eagles, Ravens, and Chiefs, three teams want to 846 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 16: play running backs against in the Fantasy playoffs. Chuba Hubbard 847 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,240 Speaker 16: has the third toughest remaining running back schedule, and Jonathan 848 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 16: Brooks's returning, and then Kareem Hunt. He's gonna have to 849 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,919 Speaker 16: deal with Isaiah Pacheco there, So all players I would 850 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 16: try to sell high on right now, and maybe even 851 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 16: by low on Tony. 852 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 2: Pollard all right, and now repair and replace. What wide 853 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 2: receivers would you like to see on the move here? 854 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 16: Michael Naved like, how you guys, you can't think I'm 855 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 16: gonna wear a Elik Neighbors shirt and then tell you 856 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 16: to trade him away or. 857 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 5: Something like that. What kind of guy do you think 858 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 5: I am? 859 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 16: I think you have to go out right now, good 860 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 16: question and trade for Elk Neighbors. Some players I would 861 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 16: look to give up, some big names, Deebo, Samuel Devonte Adams, 862 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 16: Brian Thomas Junior, because we know Malik Neighbors has the 863 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 16: talent to be elite at this level. We haven't seen 864 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 16: quite a blow up game in a little bit, so 865 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 16: that could drag the price down a bit, and people 866 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 16: are worried about a quarterback change. Even though Tommy DeVito 867 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 16: was a better down field passer last year then Daniel 868 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 16: Jones has been this year, Debo hasn't been the same. 869 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 16: Fantasy schedule gets tough, same with Devonte Adams and then 870 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 16: Brian Thomas Junior. You guys have watched the Jaguars as 871 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 16: of late, so I would ship those guys out and 872 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 16: try to get my boy Malik Neighbors on all your 873 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 16: fantasy teams right now. 874 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,879 Speaker 2: Michael and Florio, thank you very much.

When one in eight last season, 890 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 2: they couldn't even accept new players because they didn't have 891 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 2: equipment for him. So Baker, his wife Emily, and their 892 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 2: foundation stepped up seventeen nine dollars donation gave everyone on 893 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 2: the team new equipment.
