1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: The Ravens are off to a surprising one in three start,

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: and their latest injury won't make it any easier to

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: avoid one.

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: In four or worse.

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Can they get a win on Sunday against Houston without

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson? And how beat up is their defense? This

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: week we will tell you everything we know tonight. No

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: quarterback questions for the Seahawks and their defense has been

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: dominating two One big reason our guest tonight, Leonard Williams

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: will be here to discuss his old friend Sam Darnold

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: and what else is working in the Pacific Northwest. We've

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: got Sunday Morning Football again this week, and Judy Matista

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: has the latest from London on Dylan Gabriel's first start

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: for the Browns against a Vikings team will be starting

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz behind an offensive line featuring well basically the

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: three of us welcome inside with the insiders resented by

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Progressive Insurance, alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafalo, I am

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Thomas H.

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: Sarah.

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Week five is underway.

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: We will get to the highlights from last night over

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: our wes will be here to discuss how once again

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in survival mode thrive, But we

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: begin tonight in Baltimore, where the two time NFL MVP

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: is not.

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: Going to be out there on Sunday.

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson officially ruled out did not practice the entire

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: week after suffering a hamstring injury last week in the

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: third quarter against the Chiefs. You knew it was bad

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: what John Harbaughs said that there was no way Lamar

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: could have returned, and ian, given both the injury and

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: the schedule, you have to wonder if we're going to

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: have multiple weeks here with Cooper Russi instead.

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say that is very fair to wonder,

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 4: you know, really weird injury, because as soon as Lamar

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: Jackson came out, everyone was kind of wondering what happened?

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: What happened? We didn't see him going to the medical tent.

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: He may have left the game in the third quarter,

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: but we still don't know as of right now where

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: and when he got injured. Certainly the way he played

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 4: could have got injured earlier, tried to play through it.

42
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: Still a lot of questions about Lamar Jackson last week.

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 4: Then you move forward this week. You mentioned the Harball comments. Yes,

44
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: this was clearly an injury serious enough to keep Lamar

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: Jackson off the field this week, didn't practice at all,

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: and then you mentioned the schedule. So they obviously have

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: the Houston Texans this week, Next week they have the

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 4: Los Angeles Rams, then they have a bye, So it

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 4: is possible that Lamar Jackson sits out, obviously gonna sit

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: out Sunday, sits out, next week, sits out another week,

51
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: gets three weeks worth of rest while only missing two games.

52
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: That makes sense, unless it's worse than that. They haven't

53
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: put him on injured reserve yet. If they don't bite tomorrow,

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 4: you'd terra Well, he's gonna probably come back within that

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: four week window, which means Cooper Rush going forward now

56
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: this week, potentially next week.

57
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 5: He has had success with the Dallas Cowboys.

58
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 4: He went four and one in twenty twenty two, was

59
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 4: five hundred last year when he played in place of

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott.

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 5: He can do it. He absolutely can go out and

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 5: do it.

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: But as we've seen across the league, for a backup

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: quarterback to go out and get wins, it has to

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: be perfect across the board, and considering where this Ravens

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: defense is, that will for sure be a challenge.

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 6: Well, the good news Ian is that they're healthy everywhere

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 6: else and they're not without any pro bowl. I'm sorry,

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 6: what you have a full screen? Okay, apparently there's some

70
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 6: information on this full screen.

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: It leads me to believe that that's incorrect.

72
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 5: Ooh wow, look at.

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: This right here. And here's the worst part.

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 6: The questionable guys didn't practice on Friday, or at least

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: two of them in Kyle Hamilton and o'dafe Oway who's

76
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 6: dealing with an eye injury. Ronnie Stanley at least practiced,

77
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 6: So I guess that's a good sign. But Ma, Marlin Humphrey,

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 6: Roquan Smith, Zadobe Owoozy A Patrick Ricard.

79
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: I believe I mentioned this earlier in the week. I'll

80
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: mention it again.

81
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 6: They have shirts that they've worn over the John Harball

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 6: years down in Baltimore that say.

83
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: Nobody cares work harder.

84
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, nobody cares that you have a long injury report

85
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 6: because a lot of other teams have a long injury report.

86
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're gonna have to work harder.

87
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 6: We saw the San Francisco forty Niners certainly do that

88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 6: on Thursday night.

89
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: This is going to be quite the challenge here.

90
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 6: I know that there's a lot of confidence in Cooper Rush.

91
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 6: It's not going to be the same offense, obviously, it

92
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 6: never is regardless of who the backup is because there

93
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 6: is no other Lamar Jackson. But this is going to

94
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 6: be quite the task for John Harborough and the coaching

95
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 6: sty have to get this team right on Sunday.

96
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: We've got a pretty good competition for who is the

97
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: most beat up team in the NFL right now, because

98
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens certainly have a case, the forty nine ers

99
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: that we saw last night, the Vikings, and how about

100
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks add this one to their list. Running Back

101
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

102
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 5: He was in a walking.

103
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: Boot most of the week dealing with a foot injury.

104
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: Will be a lot of Rashad White on Sunday for

105
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: a Bucks team that still doesn't have Mike Evans out

106
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: there their offensive lines of mass. Baker Mayfield, though a

107
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: couple of injuries on the injury report, He's now off

108
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: that report good to go on Sunday. Panthers will not

109
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: have their starting running back Cuba Hubbard officially ruled out

110
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: with a calf injury. For Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

111
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Dave Canalis said today they are hopeful this is just

112
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: a one week absence for Cuba Huddard. In the meantime,

113
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: ricodowdele next man up for Carolina. As for Raiders tight

114
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: end Brock Bowers, he officially is listed as questionable for

115
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Colts, despite not practicing the past

116
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: two days. Pete Carroll said they believe Bowers will be

117
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: able to play on Sunday, But I understand it is

118
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: this was pre planned. They wanted to give him a

119
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: couple of days, try to get that knee to calm

120
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: him down.

121
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 5: The injury.

122
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: He just saw that happened back in Week one against

123
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots. He's not quite been himself. They need that

124
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: guy to be one hundred percent. Try to get that

125
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: offense and Gino Smith back on track. That imagine the

126
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are beat up. Hey, as somebody else

127
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: just said, nobody cares. They're taking on Matthew Stafford and

128
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: the Rams without their quarterback, without all their receivers, and

129
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: it really didn't matter, especially in the early going.

130
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: Nothing already second quarter.

131
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: That's Mac Jones to Christian McCaffrey fourteen zero. Just like that,

132
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: i'd say on the road, except this kind of felt

133
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: like a home game. Mac Jones is pumped up. Don't

134
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: get in his face. He's the John McEnroe of the

135
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: youth tennis circuit. He still got a little bit of

136
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: attitude there. Rams, though, did make this a game. They

137
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: come all the way back. That's Matthew Stafford to Kyron

138
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: Williams makes it twenty twenty.

139
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: They miss the ensuing extra point. All these issues for

140
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: Joshua Carty in recent weeks. That one gets tipped at

141
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 3: the line. The game remains tied.

142
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: Later on in the fourth quarter, one oh eight left

143
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: in regulation, Kyron Williams going up the middle. This felt

144
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: like this is it. The Rams take over. It's gonna

145
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: be a well what the ball is out? Forty nine

146
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: ers have it with one oh two to go. Take

147
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: another look. This is an unbelievable play. Alfred Collins punching

148
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: them first off in the face, Mass follows through, knocks

149
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: that ball loose. Roberts hll has got all kinds of

150
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: rookies playing on defense. A huge moone for Alfred, a

151
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: rough one for Kyron Williams, another change for Joshua Cardy

152
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: this time makes the most of it. This followed the

153
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers running the ball three straight plays, given

154
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: it one last gasp. On to overtime we go Matthew

155
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: Stafford going back to Kyron Williams. Still has faith in him,

156
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: but he has stopped a yard short of the first down.

157
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: But the second time on this drive, Sean McVay decides

158
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: to go for it. It's fourth and one for the game.

159
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna roll Matthew Stafford out, give him some out. No,

160
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna give it to Kyron Williams.

161
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 5: You get stuffed.

162
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Look at the penetration by the forty nine Ers defense

163
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: pushing that thing back. San Francisco wins twenty six twenty

164
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: three in twenty three in overtime, Sean McVeigh did not

165
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: take it too well.

166
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 7: It's that call by me. You called two timeouts.

167
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 8: Were you considering different calls or kind of can you

168
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 8: walk us through that.

169
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 9: Thought about maybe trying to draw him off side. It

170
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 9: took one, they took the other, and it was a

171
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 9: poor decision by me right there. But you know, you

172
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 9: give the Niners. They made enough plays to be able

173
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 9: to win the football game. We had plenty of chances

174
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 9: throughout this game. You know, we stayed in it, we fought,

175
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 9: we battled, but there's a lot of things that we

176
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 9: have to be able to clean up and a lot

177
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 9: of football left. But I'm pretty sick right now. I'm

178
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 9: sick of the spot that I put our group in

179
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 9: to end the game. But hey, these are the tough

180
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 9: beats that you got to be able to learn from

181
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 9: and move forward, and that's what we're gonna do.

182
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: Let's welcome in our Omar Ruiz to the conversation here.

183
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: This is a Rams team Omar that easily could be

184
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: five and zero. The weird way that things ended against

185
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Then this game here you heard Sean McVay

186
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: take it a lot on himself. He did it again

187
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: today when he spoke with reporters and you could see

188
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: with Tyron Williams this one hurt.

189
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 9: Yeah.

190
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 10: In the locker room after the game, Kyro Williams taking

191
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 10: accountability just like his head coach did, Sean McVay saying,

192
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 10: when you execute, you win the game. When you don't execute,

193
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 10: you lose, and Kyri Williams saying he's always gonna want

194
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 10: the ball. And I thought it was interesting to note

195
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 10: that Sean McVay did give Kyrin Williams the ball back

196
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 10: after fumbling at the goal line. You mentioned the pass

197
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 10: that was just short of the line to gain there

198
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,479
Speaker 10: in overtime and then getting.

199
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 5: The ball at fourth and one.

200
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 10: Obviously didn't work out last night, but perhaps down the road,

201
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 10: infusing that confidence back in Kyro Williams may pay dividends

202
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 10: the rest of the twenty twenty five season and give

203
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 10: the forty nine ers defense credit. Alfred Collins obviously the

204
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 10: huge knockout on the fumble. Collectively Fred Warner there shutting

205
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 10: this play down. And then there's Mac Jones thirty three

206
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 10: of forty nine, two touchdowns, no interceptions, a guy who

207
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 10: after the game sneaky, funny, laughs at his own jokes,

208
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 10: and was talking about Kyle Shanahan saying they were bigger

209
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 10: underdogs and when they started, he didn't understand what that meant,

210
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 10: but he said, let's go kill him. And he's one

211
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 10: of those guys that said he looked like he was

212
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 10: rocky out there. He was dramatic, he was on the floor,

213
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 10: he kept getting up, Trent Williams saying he is tough

214
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 10: as nails. You can see why he was drafted where

215
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 10: he was drafted, an Apex editor and a cool guy

216
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 10: to be around. You saw the reception for mac Jones

217
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 10: from the bench when he would come to the sideline.

218
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 10: Very well received there, and obviously played excellently last night

219
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 10: in that win. So a lot of kudos to go

220
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 10: around for that forty nine ers team and now they

221
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 10: are a four to one first place in the NFC West.

222
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 5: To show for it.

223
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, of course, was drafted fifteenth overall by the Patriots,

224
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: could have been the number three overall picked the San Francisco,

225
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: which a lot of people thought was going to be

226
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the case when they traded up. Instead, they took Trey

227
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: Lance and took a few years for Mack to inevitably end.

228
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: Up with Kyle Shanahan.

229
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: The question now, Ian is could we see more mac

230
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Jones moving forward at a time that brock Birdy clearly

231
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: had Purty clearly had a setback with that toe injury

232
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: that previously had kept him out for a couple of games.

233
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, very possible we see another start for mac Jones,

234
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 4: or even more than that. My understanding of brock Perty's setback,

235
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 4: and remember he was dealing with turf toe. It was

236
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: two to about five weeks recovery time he played in

237
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: that third week, so pretty early on in his recovery,

238
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: early on in his rehab, and then went out, got

239
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: tackled and basically short of the same way, reaggravated the injury,

240
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: then got put back where he was. So if that

241
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 4: is the case, then you're probably looking at a couple

242
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: starts for mac Jones. They're considering rock Purty week to

243
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: week now, and you have to think the player goes

244
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: out aggravates an injury, they already played him once. You

245
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 4: think they take maybe a little bit of extra time

246
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: to make sure that brock Purdy is healthy. And they

247
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: do have that luxury because mac Jones is balling the

248
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: only thing in Tom you mentioned this first on game

249
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: day morning. They may have to pay a little extra

250
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 4: because mac Jones when he gets to that fourth win,

251
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: if he gets that fourth win, unlocks a four hundred

252
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: thousand dollars incentive, but only if he gets four wins.

253
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 4: He's got three, so mac Jones could cash in as well.

254
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: Obviously not his main goal, but you know you.

255
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: Could buy something nice with four hundred thousand dollars.

256
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 6: Check right, sure, I can find a few things, A

257
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 6: couple of boxes of cigars whiskey, which you just talked

258
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 6: about offline.

259
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: Ian.

260
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 6: How about Mac Jones and the connection with Kendrick Bourne,

261
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 6: which Al michaels I don't know. And by the way,

262
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 6: Al's catching too much flack for last night for not

263
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 6: seeing every announcer has those moments, stop stop it.

264
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: Cut it out.

265
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 6: But I love when he said it's born again, because

266
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 6: Kendrick is born again back with.

267
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: The San Francisco forty nine ers, a.

268
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 6: Guy that was available via trade, I mean a few

269
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 6: times along the way, but most recently at the end

270
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 6: of camp with the Patriots and teams wanted them to

271
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 6: take some money off the top of what he was

272
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 6: gonna make, which was not a ton of money like

273
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 6: you know certainly you get in production like this if

274
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 6: you were expecting that, And he said no, I'd rather

275
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 6: be free and go sign with the San Francisco forty

276
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 6: nine ers who had a need and continue to have

277
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 6: a need because Ricky Piersoll, who knows what's gonna happen

278
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 6: with his knee moving forward, Brandon Ayuk, they've said he's

279
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 6: still always away coming back from that ACL So Kendrick

280
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 6: born again I thought was a fantastic storyline, and maybe

281
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 6: some they were like, Ah, should have just made the trade.

282
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: Throwing to three receivers last night who weren't even on

283
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: the team at the start of training camp and one

284
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: guy who was suspended at the start of the year.

285
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: A win unlike any other and ow a little bit

286
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: of extra time to heal up Omar. Thank you more

287
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: from you a little bit later.

288
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: On in the show.

289
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of backup quarterbacks, We're is it Carson Wentz again

290
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: Sunday morning in London against the Browns. JJ McCarthy officially

291
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: ruled out because of his high ankle sprain.

292
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: Vikings have a bye next week.

293
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: They're hoping to integrate McCarthy after that potentially get him

294
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: back week seven against the Eagles.

295
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 5: Also, three started.

296
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: Offensive linemen out for Minnesota. Their backup center is out

297
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: as well, so Wentz has his work cut out for him.

298
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: No Andrew van Ginkel for the Vikings either one of

299
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: their best defensive players out once again because of his

300
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: neck injury, another guy who potentially could be back after

301
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: the bye. As for the Browns, Miles Garrett was out

302
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: of practice early in the week dealing with an ankle injury,

303
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: but as Miles Garrett often by the end of the

304
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: week off the injury report, he.

305
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: Said, they'd have to kill him to keep him out.

306
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: That won't be necessary. Miles, You're off the injury report.

307
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: Good to go on Sunday. On the other side of

308
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: the ball for the Browns, Dylan Gabriel does get his

309
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: first NFL start this week in place of Joe Flacco,

310
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: who has been benched after a rocky showing for the

311
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: entire offense over the first four games. Gabriel now said

312
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: to become the first quarterback in NFL history to make

313
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: his first career start in an international game. Our Judye

314
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: Batista was with the Browns in London.

315
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 11: New Brown's starting quarterback Dylan Gabriel says he has a

316
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 11: lot of confidence in the offensive scheme the Browns are

317
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 11: going to run. He should, He said, that is part

318
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 11: of the reason why they have him here, because he

319
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 11: has run it before. The expectation is on Sunday, we're

320
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 11: going to see Gabriel getting out of the pocket more

321
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 11: on the move, creating plays on the move. That's what

322
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 11: he did in college. That's what the Browns want him

323
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 11: to be able to do here. When you talk to

324
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 11: Dylan Gabriel's teammates. They talk about his confidence, his command

325
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 11: of the offen already, and his energy. They are hoping

326
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 11: he can bring a spark to an offense that has

327
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 11: struggled so far this season. They're averaging only fourteen points

328
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 11: this season. Miles Garrett said, he runs the offense like

329
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 11: he's been doing it for years. Chest out smile on

330
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 11: his face, Garrett said, We'll be counting on him, but

331
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 11: he can count on us too. The Minnesota Vikings are

332
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 11: very banged up for this game, among others. They ruled

333
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 11: Andrew Van Genkoll out today.

334
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 12: Why don't they?

335
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 13: I never know what to do in those situations where

336
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 13: the bat comes back around, like because you want to

337
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 13: like your health, you're going.

338
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 12: Up, keep rolling, You're going.

339
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 5: You sick. Oh, That's what I'm talking about, bro.

340
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: There was a victory Monday after that, when there was

341
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: a victory Friday last week, one that I am sure

342
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams and everybody else at the Seahawks facility or

343
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: not there certainly enjoyed. We're please be joined right now

344
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: by that man himself, Leonard Williams. No sunglasses here, but

345
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: also no sleeps, which I think is a nice touch

346
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: for any interview. Leonard, thanks a ton for being your man.

347
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: You guys are rolling still. Start up by talking about

348
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: your quarterback. Sam Darnold comes in. You've seen him in

349
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: his career. He's been in several different places.

350
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 3: You don't know entirely.

351
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure what to expect from the guy from what

352
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: you've seen and knowing where he was early in his career.

353
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: What are you seeing this guy right now?

354
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 14: I mean, just ultimate leadership and confidence. That's what I'm

355
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 14: seeing from him. I'm seeing a guy who's a veteran.

356
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 14: He's in year eight right now. I believe I've been

357
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 14: around him since us I've been around him on the Jets,

358
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 14: and for me, it's just great to see him flourish

359
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 14: into this quarterback that he is right now, just leading

360
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 14: the offense the way he does.

361
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 4: So I want to go back a little bit because

362
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: obviously last year you guys had what I think a

363
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: lot of people would consider to be a successful season.

364
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 5: You had ten wins, not make the playoffs.

365
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 4: This year, you're off to a three and one start

366
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 4: and certainly have the look of a team that should

367
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 4: be in the playoffs. How much do you think about

368
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 4: that sort of near miss last year and how much

369
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: does that drive you guys for this year.

370
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 7: I mean, we definitely talk about it.

371
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 14: You know, we had some close games last year that

372
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 14: we all wish we would have taken back, that we

373
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 14: wish we could take back, and we're pretty much trying

374
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 14: to eliminate those type of games this year. And it

375
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 14: all starts with a play style. It all starts with

376
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 14: a culture and a mindset. And I think, you know,

377
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 14: above our record, I think that's showing up the most

378
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 14: right now as our play style and the way we

379
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 14: play for each other. It's been bringing us some wins,

380
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 14: but ultimately I think that's what's going to take us

381
00:17:59,280 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 14: to that next level.

382
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 3: I think part of it.

383
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: We always have John Schneider on the show and he'll say, well,

384
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: you guys never talk about us. You don't know about

385
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: what's happening here in Seattle. There's no attention on the Seahawks.

386
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: But I think it's fair to say, like there's not

387
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: household names on your defense. You don't turn on the

388
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: TV and see commercials featured Seahawks defenders. What do people

389
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: nationally need to learn about this Seahawks team?

390
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 14: I mean, to me, that's surprising to hear, but I

391
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 14: believe it at the same time. But you know, I

392
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 14: can't think of a position group on our defense that's lacking.

393
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 14: You know, we have guys in all positions. We have

394
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 14: great safeties, we have a great defensive line. We have

395
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 14: outside linebackers, linebackers, corners. You know, it's hard to imagine

396
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 14: a position group like I said, that's on our defense

397
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 14: that's lacking. And you know, I count on our defense.

398
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 14: I'll trust in our defense to make plays weekend and

399
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 14: week out. And you know, there's not another group of

400
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 14: guys that I'd rather go out there and play with.

401
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: Ye I want to talk about your your defensive line

402
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 4: a little bit because you talk about the player on

403
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 4: that line. In the last two off seasons, Seattle's made

404
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 4: significant investments in that defensive line. Byron Murphy last year,

405
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: first round draft pick, defensive lineman. This year, DeMarcus Lawrence

406
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: in free agency, bring in play him on the defensive line.

407
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 4: Is well, what does it tell you about the value

408
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 4: that this organization puts on you guys, just your importance

409
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 4: to making this thing go In general, I mean.

410
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 14: We talk about it as a position group. We always

411
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 14: say that you know, we want to be the position

412
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 14: group that wins games. We want to be the position

413
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 14: group that spearheads this team. You know, we want to

414
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 14: be the best team on the field, the best position

415
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 14: group on the field at all times. And you know,

416
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 14: we have so many guys up front. It's it's it's

417
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 14: useful to have so many guys. We we push each other,

418
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 14: we help each other be great, and you know, we're

419
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 14: able to rotate when guys are getting tired. We have

420
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 14: so many different guys with so many different attributes and

421
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 14: play styles that you know, the hardest thing and the

422
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 14: best thing at the same time is just learning how

423
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 14: to play off of each other, learning how to feed

424
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 14: each other. And we always talk about you know, Russian

425
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 14: as one.

426
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: So this week he got the Bucks coming in. They've

427
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: got all kinds of stuff going on injury wise. Some

428
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: of the receivers are out. The offensive line has been

429
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: a bunch of moving parts here. But they've got Baker Mayfield.

430
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: They've got some dudes on that offense. Just what do

431
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: you see when you're breaking them down on tap? And

432
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: how do you get after?

433
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 14: I mean to me, like you just said, the guy

434
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 14: you brought up was Baker Mayfield. He's the guy who,

435
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 14: you know, this offense, this team runs through. He plays

436
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 14: with a certain type of passion and energy and competitive

437
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 14: spirit that you could just see feeds into the rest

438
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 14: of his team. And you know, he makes a lot

439
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 14: of plays by you know, staying alive. Once he breaks

440
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 14: out of the pocket, he's pretty much turns into a

441
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 14: running back. He's not just sliding a run out of bounce.

442
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 14: He's trying to you know, run over guys and gain

443
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 14: extra yards. And this is, you know, another one of

444
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 14: those games where you know, up front we talk about

445
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 14: Russian as one, we really got to contain this guy. Uh,

446
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 14: the more we can, you know, contain him, stop him

447
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 14: from from being great as much as we can.

448
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 4: You know, I like our So Bucky Irvin is going

449
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: to be out this week. He's got dealing with sort

450
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 4: of a footspread. You're gonna see plenty of ra Shad

451
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 4: White and some of the other running backs. Baker obviously

452
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 4: mentioned him. He's banged up as well. How much do

453
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 4: you track injury wisely, who's going to play, who's not,

454
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 4: How banged up Baker is, Like, how much of that

455
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 4: figures into your preparation for a.

456
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 5: Game on Sunday.

457
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 14: We definitely tracked it because you know, Irvin has been

458
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 14: playing great so far, and you know, as soon as

459
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 14: we found out I believe Wednesday that he wasn't going

460
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 14: to play, we immediately started paying attention to, you know,

461
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 14: the other running backs we've seen, you know, a few

462
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 14: guys in their old line has been a little bit

463
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 14: banged up, So we were thinking about certain ways to

464
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 14: attack the offense or things of that nature due to injuries.

465
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 14: Just like I'm pretty sure most teams do the.

466
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: Last thing for you, Leonard.

467
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: There are times where I feel and realize how old

468
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: I am. I was in the green room the night

469
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: you were drafted back in twenty fifteen. I looked at

470
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: that is over ten years ago. You were in year eleven.

471
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: Right now, when you're playing at a high enough level

472
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: that our buddy Daniel Jeremiah said the other day, you

473
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: could be a Defensive Player of the Year candidate at

474
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: your age, at this stage in.

475
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: His career, your career, how is the way that you take.

476
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: Care of your body evolved, and how is your role

477
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: in the locker evolved?

478
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 14: I mean, taking care of my body has evolved tremendously.

479
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 14: I mean, I'm sure you can ask guys like Dexter

480
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 14: Lawrence who was around me when I was a little

481
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 14: bit younger, and I used to take pride in being

482
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 14: a guy that was like, man, you know, I don't

483
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 14: do kotubs, I don't do massages and stuff like that,

484
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 14: but you know, I wish I did back then. But honestly,

485
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 14: it's a big part of my game now. I want

486
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 14: to play for a long time. I feel like I'm

487
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 14: at my peak right now and I want to just

488
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 14: continue continue that. And you know, also being older has

489
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 14: been helpful just because mentally I understand the game a

490
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 14: lot more so as long as my body's holding up,

491
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 14: my understanding and knowledge of football has increased, and that's

492
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 14: what's been able to keep me playing at a high

493
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 14: level right now.

494
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: Physical fitness off the fields also, while you can show

495
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: up on this show and literally flex on us right there,

496
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: look at this guy.

497
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: That's a big part.

498
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: Of the reason with the Seahawks defense doing what they're

499
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: doing so far. There it is. Love it, Leonard Williams.

500
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: Thanks a ton, man. We really appreciate the time. Good

501
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: luck this week of course, Thank you guys, Thank you man.

502
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm more to come on this show, including the return

503
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: of Jayden Daniels, So how do the Chargers try to

504
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: slow him down in his return on Sunday in La.

505
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: Omarrowiez will be here to break down that matchup next

506
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: on The Insiders, the NFL and the American Cancer Society

00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: Jade Daniels is back for the Commanders, set to start

514
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: Sunday's game back in his home area of Southern California

515
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: against the.

516
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: Chargers this last two games with a knee sprain.

517
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: Might wear embrace for a little bit of added protection,

518
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: but full participant in practice all week. He is good

519
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: to go. New's not as good on wide receiver Terry McLaurin,

520
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: he did not travel to La, officially ruled out for

521
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Sunday's game. No Brown was also ruled out, so Daniels

522
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: moving forward without two of his top wide receivers. The

523
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: other one Deebo Samuel didn't practice a whole lot this

524
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: week either, dealing with a heel injury. No practice wednes

525
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: there Thursday, but was back in a full capacity today.

526
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 3: He's off the injury report and good to go.

527
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders presented by Progressive the Insurance.

528
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: Tom Telachero joined once again now by our Omar Ruiz.

529
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: All right, Jane Daniels is back Omar, albeit without a

530
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: couple of his top weapons in the lineup. Beer, how

531
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: do the Chargers attack this guy and get after James?

532
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, you mentioned it being a homecoming

533
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 10: for him grow up, but an hour outside of La

534
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 10: and the Inland Empire will have two sweets worth of

535
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 10: family and friends. So Jade and Daniels ought to get

536
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 10: that warm reception here in southern California, at least from

537
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 10: that group of people.

538
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 3: But it might take a group.

539
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 10: Of people on the Chargers defense to help slow Jade

540
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 10: and Daniels down. Jesse Minterer, the defensive coordinator, calling him electric,

541
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 10: one of those players that played so much football in college.

542
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 10: He came into the NFL ready to take the league

543
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 10: by storm, and obviously he did that. Winning the Offensive

544
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 10: Rookie of the Year last year. He's one of those

545
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 10: guys that can stand back and make every throw. But

546
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 10: he said it's with his legs on those big plays,

547
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 10: those big opportunities for him to steal your soul is

548
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 10: how Jesse Minter described it. So that's what they'll be

549
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 10: focusing on, putting pressure on him to avoid those disruptions

550
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 10: with Jade and Daniels legs. Derwin James saying it's not

551
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 10: just Jaden Daniels. Then he just talked about Deebo Samuel

552
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 10: as somebody who can get the ball at any spot

553
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 10: on the field and score from any spot on the field,

554
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 10: James saying they have to keep an eye on Deebo

555
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 10: Samuel wherever he is on the field, mentor calling Samuel

556
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 10: somebody like Derwin James that they have on defense, really

557
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 10: a positionless player, somebody who is an offensive weapon for

558
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 10: the commander.

559
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 5: So they'll be very primed and ready.

560
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 10: To go a challenge that they said they're excited to

561
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 10: face against Jayden Daniels and Deebo Samuel on Sunday.

562
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: Derwin James missed a little bit of practice this week

563
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: with a glute injury, but he's off the injury report.

564
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Good to go on Sunday Jolt, Not so much Omar

565
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: Giants scores beat the Chargers last week, but Joe Alt

566
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: his absence for part of that game after suffering high

567
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: ankle sprain was a pretty big deal. What's the prognosis

568
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: there and how do the Chargers go about adjusting to

569
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: protect Justin Herbert.

570
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's officially out now, and his absence was obvious

571
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 10: on Sunday against the Giants. Obviously without Rashaun Slater already,

572
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 10: so they're missing both of their tackles there. They're still

573
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 10: waiting on word about Kai Becton, who has missed some

574
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 10: time earlier with a concussion. Jim Harbaugh saying that he

575
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 10: has one more tests to go to determine whether or

576
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 10: not he'll play. And look at these statistics with Justin

577
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 10: Herbert's performance with or without Joe Alt on the field

578
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 10: this season.

579
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 5: Look at that passer rating.

580
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 10: It is almost double for Justin Herbert when he has

581
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 10: Joe Alt protecting him. Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator, saying

582
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 10: this week that they're going to have to figure it out.

583
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 10: They may take turns on the fly during the game. Sunday,

584
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 10: Jim Harbaugh saying they have the five figured out who

585
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 10: they want to play, wouldn't disclose who that would be,

586
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 10: but they are.

587
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 5: Going to be fluid with it.

588
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 10: They're not going to have necessarily a game plan that

589
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 10: they'll be locked into, but they're going to have to

590
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 10: get contributions from all players. But it is something when

591
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 10: you look at Justin Herbert's performance on Sunday getting hit

592
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 10: twelve times, Romans saying they cannot have that going forward

593
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 10: this season, so obviously a point of emphasis. One more

594
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 10: note on this game that I thought was cool. We've

595
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 10: seen players all over the NFL that played for Jim

596
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 10: Harball at the University of Michigan. Obviously was with the

597
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 10: San Francisco forty nine Ers before that. But the Washington

598
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 10: Commanders tom come to town with Zach Ertz who played

599
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 10: for Jim Harbaugh at Stanford, and Josh Johnson as their

600
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 10: third string quarterback who played for him at the University

601
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 10: of San Diego. Swalts a homecoming for a couple of

602
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 10: big stars like Jane Daniels and Bobby Wagner. It'll be

603
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 10: a reunion there with Harbaugh and those two players from

604
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 10: those early college days.

605
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Good stuff there Omar, Thank you very much. How about this, Mike,

606
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: We were just watching Giants highlights. You haven't done that

607
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: in a.

608
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 6: Bit, been a minute, Tom, although I was this morning,

609
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 6: as you know, watching the last drive of Super Bowl

610
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 6: forty two.

611
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: I go back and watch that every now and then.

612
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 6: Giants defense, which is a big part of why they

613
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 6: won that Super Bowl, Yeah, played really well. Two interceptions,

614
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 6: a season high for Justin Herbert and a season low

615
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 6: in completion percentage you see it there, and yardage as well.

616
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: How about that.

617
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 6: Giants defense showing up against the Chargers this past weekend.

618
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 6: This is time for good coverage, presented by Progressive Insurance.

619
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 6: That's why we're talking about coverage right here elsewhere in

620
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 6: the NFC East down ninety five Quinyon Mitchell the NFC

621
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 6: defensive player of the week. There five tackles and five

622
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 6: passes defensed in their past game. And by the way,

623
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 6: if you are a number one wide receiver looking to

624
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 6: get open in South Philadelphia on Sunday, I got bad news.

625
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: Quinyon Mitchell is playing and so is Patzertan.

626
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 6: These are the two guys that match up the most

627
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 6: so far this season with wide receiver ones.

628
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: So AJ Brown.

629
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 6: I'd expect to see a bunch of Patrick's ter Tank,

630
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 6: Courtland Sutton, I'd expect to see a bunch.

631
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: Of Quinnon Mitchell.

632
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 6: Brian Baldinger has got a breakdown of this Denver defense.

633
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: Do we want it?

634
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 7: Yeah?

635
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: We want it?

636
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 8: Gobaldy Oh the Eagles of the Broncos Sunday promises to

637
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 8: be a great, great strategy game because Denver's defense returns

638
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 8: almost all the starters from a year ago. They led

639
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 8: the league in sacks a year ago, the lea league

640
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 8: in sacks through four games already, and their base defense

641
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 8: hasn't really changed.

642
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 7: Very much or Nord of the Parsonnel in it.

643
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 8: And so the Eagles have to get ready to play

644
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 8: against a defensive line and a defensive front that plays

645
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 8: a reduced front.

646
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 7: And by that I mean.

647
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 8: They cover the two inside guards and center with Zach Allen,

648
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 8: DJ Jones and Jonathan Franklin Myers on the outside. You

649
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 8: got Nick Benito on the right, Jonathan Cooper.

650
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 9: On the left.

651
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 7: That's the front. Now.

652
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 8: They love to play that front early downs to stop

653
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 8: the run, all right. They got five guys that can

654
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 8: win one on ones up there. But it's not just

655
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 8: against the run. They get after you with a five

656
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 8: man defensive front, and they'll play man behind it like.

657
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 7: They did against Chargers two weeks ago, and.

658
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 8: They'll give up a pass for two yards right here

659
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 8: to lab mcconkye, but they'll tackle a catch.

660
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 7: Excellent guys and man and man.

661
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 8: But they'll also play a five min front, get after

662
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 8: the quarterback right here, and play a variety of coverages

663
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 8: behind it. Like right here they bracket up at the top.

664
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 8: Think about that might be DeVonta Smith and at the

665
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 8: bottom that might be aj Brown. A way to double

666
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 8: both wide receivers right here, still get out to the

667
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 8: quarterback and maybe force the quarterback to go someplace else

668
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 8: with the ball.

669
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 7: So they kind of take that away.

670
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 8: But make no mistake like these two edge rushers, their

671
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 8: takeoffs are as fast as any takeoff in the NFL.

672
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 8: You see Fernano at the bottom already beating the left

673
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 8: tackle from the Chargers. That puts immense pressure on the

674
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 8: quarterback either step up and then he's looking at this

675
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 8: two deep five.

676
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 7: Hundred zone behind it and like there's no place to go.

677
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: With the ball.

678
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 7: And that's one of the reasons why they do get sacks.

679
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 8: But really this defense with Benito on the left and

680
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 8: Cooper on the right, They're going to keep coming. Now

681
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 8: they'll go up against Lane Johnson and Malata, but the

682
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 8: quarterback has to step up. They're capable guys inside that

683
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 8: you get the quarterback to the ground. This is going

684
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 8: to be a lot of strategy in this game. I

685
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 8: think defenses are kind of advanced right now through the

686
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 8: first up to the season on both sides of the ball.

687
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 7: This should be a great matchup Sunday between the Broncos

688
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 7: and the Eagles.

689
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 4: Let's get a little fantasy info as we always do,

690
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 4: or at least usually do a lot of times, I

691
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 4: don't know, on a Friday, with our good friend Adam

692
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 4: Ranked Mike Garafole also joining us. Mike, you're not as important,

693
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: so we're going to focus on rank right now.

694
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 5: There's a bunch of injuries this week. There always are

695
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 5: a bunch of injuries.

696
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, don't want to get your take Rank and maybe

697
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 4: Michael asked some things too on how these injuries affect

698
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 4: some of the other fantasy guys. So we'll start with

699
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill. That horrific injury we saw this past week.

700
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 4: How does that affect Jalen Wattle going forward.

701
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 13: I believe that we'll see an increase in targets for

702
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 13: Jalen Wattle moving forward. I know a lot of people

703
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 13: rush to the waiver wire and grab players like Malik

704
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 13: Washington to go out there and insert into the lineup,

705
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 13: But when I watch the way that this Dolphins team

706
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 13: is constructed, I really do believe that going to find

707
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 13: ways to get the ball into the hands of Jalen Wattle.

708
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 13: He does have the ability to stretch the field if

709
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 13: they want to use him in that capacity. He can

710
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 13: also run some of those intermediate.

711
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 5: Routes as well.

712
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 13: So for me, I look for Jalen Wattle to take

713
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 13: a step forward now this week against Carolina.

714
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 5: It's a little bit of a difficult I would say,

715
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 5: sort of a difficult matchup.

716
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 13: When you look at the numbers, Carolina has not allowed

717
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 13: a lot of production to opposing wide receivers. I think

718
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 13: a lot of that is game script driven in the

719
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 13: fact that Carolina has found themselves behind in a lot

720
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 13: of games outside of that contest against Atlanta. But I

721
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 13: think in a pretty even match, Jalen Wattle could do

722
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 13: some significant damage against his Carolina Panthers team this week.

723
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 6: All Right, Maliite Neighbors unfortunately out for the season with

724
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 6: that ACL injury for the Giants, which put a damper

725
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 6: on their first win there. The other day, I had

726
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 6: one del Robinson on my team. I picked up Darius Slayton.

727
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 6: I've got both of them. Who do you recommend I start?

728
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 5: Well, I like both of them.

729
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 13: But I think what we're going to see out of

730
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 13: Jackson Dart is that he's going to focus in on

731
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 13: one of these guys, and that guy I anticipate being

732
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 13: Wandale Robinson. Even with Malik Neighbors in there, Wandale Robinson

733
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 13: was leading the team in targets and receptions and everything else. Obviously,

734
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 13: Malik Neighbors was the exceptional talent, had the big games,

735
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 13: had the huge game against Dallas. But Wandale has been

736
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 13: pretty consistent over the last couple of weeks and who's

737
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 13: really established a nice little rapport with Jackson Dart. One

738
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 13: of the things that we love about Jackson Dart is

739
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 13: his ability to run the football. Last week he had

740
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 13: a designed rushing touchdown. He ran six designed rushing plays,

741
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 13: which should help open up the offense, especially for the

742
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 13: wide receivers. So Wandale Robinson is my pick. I know

743
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 13: that Darius Layton was a hot name on the waiver wire.

744
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 13: You made a good pick there, Mike. I don't blame

745
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 13: you for doing it, but in my estimation, it's gonna

746
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 13: be Wondale Robinson who steps up.

747
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: All right, got another one for your rank. So we

748
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 4: know by now Bucky Irving out with that foot sprain.

749
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 4: What about Rashad White.

750
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 5: I really like Rashad White.

751
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 13: I know a lot of times in these situations, players

752
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 13: like Rashad White will just retain their normal role there

753
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 13: in the pass, get there as a pass catcher, which

754
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 13: is fine. I anticipate him doing that. I know a

755
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 13: lot of people are going to the waiver wire picking

756
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 13: up Sean Tucker thinking he's going to be the guy.

757
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 5: However, we've seen Rashad White be Matt I think. I don't.

758
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 13: I don't want to necessarily say bell Cow of this

759
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 13: rushing attack, but we've seen him with some ability last year.

760
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 13: Before Rashad White actually came in and took a bigger

761
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 13: role in this offense, or excuse, before Bucky Irving took

762
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 13: a bigger role in this offense, it was Rashad White

763
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 13: who was out there. So I feel like In the

764
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,959
Speaker 13: short term, they're going to go back to Rashad White.

765
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 13: He will he will give up some carries to Tucker

766
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 13: and some of those other players. But I think the

767
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 13: Rashad White is going to be the guy that you're

768
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 13: going to want to start there for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

769
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: Right.

770
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 6: No, Lamar Jackson is an impact for everybody across the

771
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 6: board offensively for the Baltimore Ravens.

772
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: Justice Hill, Uh, the one that I know you want

773
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: to talk about here.

774
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, the one thing that we liked about Justice Hill.

775
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 13: Everybody looked at what happened last week and they just

776
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 13: figured like, oh, you know, Derek Henry got pulled out

777
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 13: or whatever. But Baltimore found themselves in a game script

778
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 13: where they had to throw the football. And when they

779
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 13: have to throw the football, Justice Hill is going to

780
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 13: be the running back who's on the field going up.

781
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 5: This week against the Houston Texans.

782
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 13: If they find themselves behind and having to throw the ball,

783
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 13: Justice Hill could be that guy.

784
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: Once again.

785
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 5: I've had to pick up Justice Hill in a ton

786
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 5: of leagues. Uh, and I've had I've.

787
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 13: Had I'm having to play him, so I'm hoping for

788
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 13: the best, but I'm actually hoping that Baltimore falls behind

789
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 13: so they have to throw the ball to him.

790
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 4: I don't think Baltimore hopes for that themselves, but anyway,

791
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 4: we will keep that in mind.

792
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 5: Selfishly great stuff.

793
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 4: As always, my fantasy team is terrible. But maybe your

794
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 4: information helped someone, just probably not me. Uh So that's London.

795
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 4: We got a lot of stuff going on on.

796
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 5: On and including a football game Sunday morning.

797
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: Perhaps you heard our good friend Judy Patisa has been

798
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 4: out there for a couple months preparing for Sunday. Let's

799
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 4: get some information from her. Coming up next on The Insiders.

800
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: Sunday Morning Football, the Vikings and the Browns. The debut

801
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: of rookie quarterback Dylan Gabriel for Cleveland, part of a

802
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: really good rookie class that also includes linebacker Carson Swessinger,

803
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: who joined our Judy Batista in London.

804
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 11: Well, Carson, all eyes are on the other rookie right now,

805
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 11: but you are off to a hot start in your

806
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 11: own career. How do you assess where you are right now?

807
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 15: I think just you know how we're playing as a defense,

808
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 15: and for me, the biggest thing is going in each

809
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 15: week prepared and being able to you know, relay the

810
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 15: call and then and then play what we're we're trying

811
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 15: to do. And you know, I think each week I'm

812
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 15: getting more comfortable with that and that allows you know,

813
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 15: the whole defense and me to to play faster.

814
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 11: Right, you are a rookie, so maybe you have some

815
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 11: special insight into what Dylan is going through this week.

816
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 11: What have you observed from him in the last few

817
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 11: days and maybe in the weeks leading.

818
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 5: Up to this.

819
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 15: I think just since the time we both showed up.

820
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 15: You know, we we we hang out a lot and

821
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 15: you know, learn from each other to just just football wise.

822
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 15: But I've just been able to see the work ethic

823
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 15: he has and you know that he's you know, prepared

824
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 15: himself for this moment when it would come, and so

825
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 15: I'm excited to see, you know, what he does.

826
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 11: What are you expecting him to do this week?

827
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 7: You know, I think for.

828
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 2: Him just to go out and play his football.

829
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 15: I think he's he's been able to go out there

830
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 15: and play winning football his whole career. You see everywhere

831
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 15: he went in college, and you know, I don't think

832
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 15: that's really going to change for him.

833
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 7: That's that's how he carries himself.

834
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 11: Grant help, But in talking to reporters yesterday, acknowledged it

835
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 11: could be frustrating when the defense is playing like the

836
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 11: number one defense in the league and the offense is

837
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 11: struggling and maybe turning the ball over. How do you

838
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 11: process that as a defensive players sort of maybe having

839
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 11: to pick up your offense right now?

840
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 15: I think for us it's just you know, look into

841
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 15: how many more plays can we make. There's obviously plays

842
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 15: we leave on the table that you know it could

843
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 15: be big momentum swings and help the offense.

844
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 2: So so what are ways that.

845
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 15: We can do that, whether it's getting turnovers and getting

846
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 15: it in the red zone and things like that. And

847
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 15: you know, for us, and then you know when when

848
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 15: mistake happened, which are gonna it's football, it's going to happen.

849
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 15: Is being able to go out there and put out

850
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 15: the fire and you know, not let the offense that

851
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 15: comes on and feels core.

852
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 11: How do you feel this defense is playing as a

853
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 11: unit right now?

854
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: I think we're playing good.

855
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 15: Like I said, I think there's always stuff to correct,

856
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 15: But for us, we really want to go out there.

857
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 15: We want to play fast, we want to play physical,

858
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 15: and I think we're doing a good job of that.

859
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 15: I think, you know, when we go out there, we're

860
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 15: able to execute how we want to and we stay

861
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 15: pretty disciplined.

862
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 11: The Vikings offensive line, I'm sure you know, is very

863
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 11: banged up, going pretty deep into the depth chart for them. Uh,

864
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 11: what kind of things do you think you can take

865
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 11: advantage of with that situation?

866
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 15: I think in any case, when you have people you

867
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 15: know banged up, we're looking to obviously exploit that. And

868
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 15: I think, you know, we could really go at any

869
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 15: o line with our with our rotation or front four

870
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 15: that we have going. So I think it's it's the

871
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 15: same thing we take every week, and we're looking to

872
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 15: dominate the line of scrimmage.

873
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 11: Carson, thank you, Good luck.

874
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: Carson Swessn You're one of the good young rookies in

875
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: this league. So is this guy, Cam Scataboo Tyrone Tracy

876
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: is doubtful again this week, which means you're gonna get

877
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: for Scataboo. Every highlight of every celebration is one you

878
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,239

Speaker 12: It's not okay.

888
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 7: I'm just kidding.

889
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: You know, when Jamis Winston is doing an impression of you,

890
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: I feel like, Mike, that means that you've truly made

891
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: it in more ways than one.

892
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a rookie. He's not carrying any pads off

893
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:21,160

894
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,160

Speaker 4: kind of amazing. That was the best video of things.

899
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 4: Think these things we've ever seen, and the fact that

900
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 4: he's not like a mascot but actually a good player

901
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:40,719
