Bill's owner Terry Pagula 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: holding a rare press conference today along with their GM 24 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean to discuss the surprise firing of coach Sean McDermott. 25 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: Pagoula had many thoughts on many things, including why he 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: decided to make a head coaching change now. 27 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 3: My decision to bring in a new coach was based 28 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: on the results of our game in Denver. I want 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 3: to take you in the locker room after that game. 30 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: I looked around. First thing I noticed was our quarterback 31 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 3: put his head down crying. I looked at all the 32 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: other players. I looked at the at their faces and 33 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: our coaches. I walked over to Josh. He didn't even 34 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 3: acknowledge I was there. First thing I said to him, 35 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: I said, that was a catch. We all know what 36 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: I'm talking about. He didn't acknowledge me. He just sat 37 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: there sobbing. He was listless. He had given everything he 38 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 3: had to try to win that game, and looking around, 39 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: so did all the other players on the team. 40 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: I saw the pain. 41 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: In Josh's face at his presser, and I felt his pain. 42 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: I know we can do better and I know we 43 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: will get better, or. 44 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 4: Before the playoff game you maybe started thinking about this 45 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 4: being a possibility. 46 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 3: After the playoff game in the locker room, I need 47 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: to keep saying that, keep saying it. It's it was 48 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: feeling the moment. I want to express my confidence and 49 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: the guy sitting next to me, Brandon Bean and the 50 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: job he has done and resurrecting this franchise. I'm not 51 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: going to sit here and defend everything that we have 52 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: done as a franchise, but the bottom line is we 53 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 3: have attracted good people here. 54 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 5: The wide receiver position has been an issue with this team, 55 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 5: and a lot of people out there believe you have 56 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 5: failed in the free agent market and then. 57 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: Obviously with the key On Holman sign you which. 58 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 5: Hasn't worked out. How do you answer the fact that 59 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 5: you have not given Josh a good enough white receiver. 60 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 6: Yeah? 61 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 3: Can I interrupt? I'll address the Keon situation. Uh, the 62 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 3: coaching staff pushed to draft Kean. I'm not saying Brandon 63 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 3: wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice. 64 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice 65 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 3: of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player. 66 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: And you know he's taken for some reason the heat 67 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: over it and not saying a word about it. But 68 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 3: I'm here to tell you the true story. 69 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: There was a lot too unpack about the entirety of 70 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: that press conference. 71 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: Judy, I'll let you do the honors. 72 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 7: Where do we start, Well, first of all, Terry, it 73 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 7: was clearly deeply affected by the scene in the locker 74 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 7: room after the game. It was devastation in there. It 75 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 7: obviously hit him hard. Even reporters who are used to 76 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 7: going into losing locker rooms and seeing very disappointed players 77 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 7: commented on how extraordinarily emotional it was in that locker 78 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 7: room after the game for an owner to admit that 79 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 7: he had not thought of firing a coach until he 80 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 7: was in that. 81 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 6: Locker room and saw that. 82 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 7: It is quite something that tells you how quickly he 83 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 7: made that decision. And then he went on to defend 84 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 7: his organization, to defend the roster. He noted the seeding 85 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 7: that they have had over the years, the high seeds, 86 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 7: and he said an organization doesn't carry that record without 87 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 7: being a great organization and having great players. It's impossible 88 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 7: without a good roster. That was his way of defending 89 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 7: Dean and the roster construction. And then you saw the 90 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 7: exchange about the wide receivers, not giving Josh Allen enough 91 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 7: wide receivers. 92 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: That was the question. 93 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 7: And then Terry Pogoula interrupted about Keon Coleman, and in 94 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 7: the process of again trying to defend Dean and his 95 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 7: roster construction, he essentially threw the coaching staff and Keon Coleman, 96 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 7: who is still on the Buffalo Bill's roster under the bus. 97 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 7: That was, to me the most extraordinary part of the 98 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 7: press conference, because you can understand the owner being struck 99 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 7: by the devastation of his players and his starting quarterback 100 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 7: and making a decision that he could not go forward 101 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 7: with this coach. But to hear him then throw the 102 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 7: coaching staff and a receiver who he still has control 103 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 7: of under the bus. That was highly unusual and I 104 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 7: think speaks to how emotional these few days have been 105 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 7: in Buffalo. You heard him say that was a catch. 106 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 7: He weighed in on everything, He was very direct on everything. 107 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 7: We love when owners talk because their opinion matters most 108 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 7: in a franchise, and Terry Pogola really needs to talk 109 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 7: more often. 110 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 6: Ian. 111 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, no doubt, a press conference not for the faint 112 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 8: of heart. If you wanted to know why they fired 113 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 8: Sean McDermott, you got the answer. 114 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 9: They felt. 115 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 8: Terry Pigle specifically felt like this was the team that 116 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 8: had enough talent to go far into the playoffs go 117 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 8: to the super Bowl, but he felt they could not 118 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 8: get there with Sean McDermott. And that was one thing 119 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 8: we learned in this press cover. The other thing, as 120 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 8: Judy mentioned, was a strong defense of Brandon Bean as 121 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 8: general manager. 122 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 9: It answered a lot of questions which have been. 123 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 8: Lingering in Buffalo for the better part of this guess 124 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 8: the last several months, which is how good is this roster? 125 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 6: Right? 126 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 8: And in defending Brandon Bean, in going out there and 127 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 8: saying that not only is this OURGM, but also this 128 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 8: is a guy promoted to run everything about football, it 129 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 8: was essentially Terry pigol was saying, Brandon Bean is now 130 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 8: running the show and they're just starting their coaching shirt 131 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 8: said Joe Brady in today. But how good of an 132 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 8: opportunity this is is obviously something that is going to 133 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 8: come up, and so Terry Pigli explained it. This is 134 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 8: a guy who engineered a trade for Josh Allen I, 135 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 8: who is Stoctor roster good enough to have the kind 136 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 8: of sustained success, and then mentioned Keon Coleman, if only 137 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 8: to show that it was not really the personnel department, 138 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 8: it was the coaches. Of all the things, Tom that 139 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 8: we learned in this press conference, it is one Terry 140 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 8: Pagolo is going to speak his mind no matter what, 141 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 8: but to in his eyes, he believes this is an 142 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 8: excellent organization with an excellent roster and a prime opportunity 143 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 8: for someone to come in and win right away. And 144 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 8: if that does not happen, then the consequences could be pretty. 145 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: Dire in terms of the head coaching search too. The 146 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: Bills getting that late start on it does impact the 147 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: candidates they can speak to if there's anyone who is 148 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: in the games this weekend, because they didn't do a 149 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: first round of interviews, they have to wait until the 150 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: season is over, either after this week's games for the 151 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: losers or all the way after the Super Bowl for 152 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: the teams that advance. As for those games, it is 153 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: going to be quite a Sunday. In the NFL, Patriots 154 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: at Broncos three pm Eastern tom on CBS and Paramount Plus, 155 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: followed by Rams at Seahawks six thirty Eastern time on Fox. 156 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: Players and coaches from both teams were at the podium 157 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: on Championship Wednesday, including Sean McVay talking about. 158 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 9: A big time rubber match. 159 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 10: I think you want to be careful not to chase ghosts. 160 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 10: You know, it is about you know, good execution, good 161 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 10: fundamentals there. You know, they're they're a great team, and 162 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 10: they're great in all three phases. We'd like to think 163 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 10: when we're hummon and we're at our best, we're pretty 164 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 10: good too. And so you are aware of those things, 165 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 10: but you don't want to do it at the detriment 166 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 10: of allowing guys to be able to go execute and 167 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 10: play the way that they're capable of. And you know, 168 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 10: we've been in this situation a couple of times where 169 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 10: you know, in the twenty one season, we played the 170 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 10: Niners in the NFC Championship and then we played Seattle 171 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 10: actually a third time in the COVID years. So it's 172 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 10: been similar where we've played two playoff teams, you know, 173 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 10: or two divisional teams in the playoffs. But it's gonna 174 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 10: be a great opportunity for us. 175 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 6: We're excited, Well, you know, it's funny. 176 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 11: I think if you you know, took a stropol from 177 00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 11: the guys around the team. 178 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 6: I think that game was. 179 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 11: A game where we really came into focus about what 180 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 11: type of team we could be, you know, and that 181 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 11: we had we have a special group that was resilient 182 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 11: as heck and had each other's backs, and we're going 183 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 11: to stick up for each other and white like heck 184 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 11: for sixteen minutes and really becoming the team that we 185 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 11: wanted to be, and we started to have some some 186 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 11: real evidence of. 187 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 12: It, even though it wasn't really the outcome that we wanted. 188 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 12: So I'm kind of glad that it happened, you know, 189 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 12: You're kind of you know, it's stunk in the moment, 190 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 12: but given where we're at now, like that was that 191 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 12: was an important part of our season that I felt 192 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 12: like something maybe we had to go through to get 193 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 12: to the point where right now. 194 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 6: We felt like. I liked him. 195 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 13: First, we had we had good grades with him in 196 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 13: New Orleans coming out of Auburn. New England drafted him. 197 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 13: And then when you see a move where Josh goes 198 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 13: to become the head coach, and then you see it 199 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 13: the transaction, you know, and I have a lot of 200 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 13: respect for Josh, and I knew that he liked him, 201 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 13: and so he really played well in that forty nine 202 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 13: er game, you know against a real good defense. Uh, 203 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 13: And so that's when we became aggressive. 204 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: You know. 205 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 14: Again, he's got, you know, the snaps that he has, 206 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 14: the four hundred and so snaps that are you know, 207 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 14: in regular season action, and then they have a lot 208 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 14: of snaps and what they want to do. So we'll 209 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 14: have to be prepared for the plan and the things 210 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 14: that they've shown. I'm sure there'll there'll be some things 211 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 14: that they haven't shown. He's more than more than capable 212 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 14: to go out there and operate, and it's why he's 213 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 14: a you know, a backup and one that was coveted 214 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 14: around the league. 215 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 2: How much did you just. 216 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 14: Happen to joshedge on them as started Josh in Vegas. 217 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: This is what makes us. 218 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 14: I mean, I think every week we try to use 219 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 14: every resource that we have. 220 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 6: At our disposal. 221 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 14: Josh coached him a couple of years ago, so you know, 222 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 14: anything that we have that we can use to help us, 223 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 14: we'll try. 224 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 8: AFC Title game with the much anticipated matchup Drake May 225 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 8: versus Jared Stidham obviously the matchup that we all thought 226 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 8: would happen with the number one seeded Broncos, one of 227 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 8: the more unlikely starting quarterbacks in NFL history. You see 228 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 8: right there, Jared Sidham the startup because Bo Nicks broke 229 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 8: his ankle and had surgery Tuesday. Four career starts, fewest 230 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 8: ever ever. That is what is facing us on Sunday. 231 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 8: Welcome inside with the insiders, our good friend Kim Woof, 232 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 8: who's going to be covering the New England Patriots for 233 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 8: us on game day morning. A lot going on with 234 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 8: the Denver Broncos. We will talk about that in a second, 235 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 8: but talk to me about Drake May and these New 236 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 8: England Patriots. You are obviously covering them, you know them 237 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 8: extremely well. Drake May has been a sensation this year, 238 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 8: MVP candidate. Why is he ready to go for this team? 239 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 9: Well, and it's a lot of first for Drake May. 240 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 4: His first road playoff game, his first time playing in 241 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: Colorado in altitude. But teammates tell me he's ready for 242 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 4: this moment because of his mentality, and Pop Douglas, one 243 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 4: of their receivers, said year one he was still trying 244 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 4: to figure out the leadership. 245 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 6: Thing this year. 246 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: He's done it his way, and one example he gave 247 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 4: me is how he leads players differently for who they are. 248 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 4: He said, he will yell at me, he won't yell 249 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 4: at Stefan Diggs the same way as he does for me, 250 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: because he knows that's how to get the most out 251 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 4: of me. I need to be driven when I screw up, 252 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: and Drake's taking that onus and we follow him. He said, 253 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 4: when we were in the huddle for the last drive, 254 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: he was unwavering, unshakable, and we felt that confidence. 255 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 9: We played with that confidence. 256 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 4: And so although this is a lot of first for 257 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 4: Drake May, he talked about putting a few extra yards 258 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 4: on his deep ball and altitude. He's talked about handling 259 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 4: the pressure a little bit better. He's had six fumbles 260 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 4: in his first two playoff games. 261 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 9: The Patriots believe that he is ready for this moment. 262 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 4: Because of who he truly is as a competitor, and 263 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 4: they don't think it will be too big for him 264 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 4: on Sunday. 265 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think anything that's going to happen is 266 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 8: going to be too big for Drake May. Whether he 267 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 8: plays well or not, he seems to be kind of 268 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 8: a kind of a chill dude who can kind of 269 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 8: handle whatever's coming. Patriots are dealt with some injuries last 270 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 8: week and actually some injury they've been dealing with for 271 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 8: the last little bit. Take me through who is expected 272 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 8: to be on the field for the doing of Patriots 273 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 8: corner Carlton Davis go down for instance last week. 274 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 9: What is the latest on the Patriots injury situation? And 275 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 9: two big names to start with. 276 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 4: And let's start with Carlton Davis because he's coming off 277 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 4: a two interception game. 278 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 9: He returned to practice as a limited participant. 279 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 4: He was in the concussion protocol, but Wednesday practice is 280 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 4: a good sign. 281 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 9: He still has. 282 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 4: To concussion protocol, but it typically sets up for a 283 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 4: chance to be a full participant later on in the week, 284 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 4: and having him would. 285 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 9: Be a huge boom. 286 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 4: This defense has been one of the best league and 287 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 4: they felt like they haven't got their respect yet and 288 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 4: a big part of their success has been the duo 289 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 4: of Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis. 290 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 9: They've been aggressive and. 291 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 4: They've got a really good matchup going ahead against Courtland 292 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 4: Sudden and these Broncos defenders. So that's one to watch 293 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 4: in a good news. The other one wide receiver Mac Collins, 294 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 4: who did not have his window open today, and it's 295 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 4: not as good of a news. There were some hope 296 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 4: from players there that they would get him back this week, 297 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 4: the first week to be activated at Stefan Diggs and 298 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: some of the receivers really value him and anticipated him. 299 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 4: But not practicing today and if he's not practicing tomorrow, 300 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 4: it seems like he may have to wait a little longer. 301 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 4: Expect a little bit more from Kaishawn Bhute, from Pop Douglas, 302 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 4: a lot of these receivers who have stepped up in 303 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 4: recent weeks for Drake May. 304 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: Breaking news Brian Flores will not be leaving Minnesota, at 305 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: least not for another defensive coordinator job. The Vikings within 306 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: the past few minutes have now signed Brian Flores to 307 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: a new contract with Minnesota. Now there was some question 308 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: about Flora's future, his old contract was up. The sides 309 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: had been in negotiations for quite some time. They actually 310 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: agreed to terms on this last week, finalized it tonight. 311 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: Now have signed Brian Flores. According to me and Ian 312 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: rappaport to that new deal, he is still in the 313 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: mix for the Steelers and Ravens head coaching jobs. But 314 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: if he does not land one of those, a huge 315 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: move for the Vikings to retain their defensive coordinator. We 316 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: got conference championship games coming up this weekend, action across 317 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: the western portion of the United States, from Seattle to Denver. 318 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: Check out the matchup between the Rams and the Seahawks 319 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: right here. Certainly a match that will be defined not 320 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: just by the offenses, but the defenses these quarterbacks are 321 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: going up against as well. 322 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 15: It's always a great environment, excuse me, a great environment. 323 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 15: Their fans do a great job. It's a big test 324 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 15: playing against their team. We look forward to the opportunity. 325 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 15: We're present and understanding what this one means, but at 326 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 15: the same time, just attacking it like every other week. 327 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 16: Obviously, it's the NFC Championship, so you know, two best 328 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 16: teams in the NFC. 329 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 6: Going at it. 330 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 16: So yeah, it's a it's a really good opportunity to 331 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 16: just play good football. You know, have that kind of 332 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 16: next opponent, next game mentality. You know, obviously we know 333 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 16: the stakes kind of like I said last week, you 334 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 16: know the stakes of the game. You know it's winner 335 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 16: go home at this point. But you know, we we 336 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 16: look at it as another game, you know, we trust 337 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 16: our process throughout the week and go about it that way. 338 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: Of course, turnover is a big factor in any game. 339 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: Sam Donald's has had a few of those seven interceptions 340 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: eight giveaways against the Ram, most by any quarterback versus 341 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: any single opponent including playoffs. Going back to last year 342 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: when Sam Donald's season with the Vikings, of course ended 343 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: against those Rams. 344 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 6: Let's welcome in our Omar Ruiz to the. 345 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: Conversation live right there outside Los Angeles and with the 346 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: Rams today, omar you around that team. I heard the 347 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: answer asking questions in the press cards. Give me an 348 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: idea of the mindset for this team as they could 349 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: set the head back to Seattle. 350 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 17: Well, one of the big takeaways tom from Sean mcvay's 351 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 17: press conference is him saying their scars have become their strengths. 352 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 17: And you look at the course of their season. Four 353 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 17: of their five losses throughout the year, the Philly game, 354 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 17: the first time they played San Francisco where they went 355 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 17: to overtime and couldn't finish, the second Seattle game, the 356 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 17: first Panthers game where they had fourth quarter leads and 357 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 17: weren't able to get the job done. Now you look 358 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 17: at them, Sean McVay saying, they are a resilient team, 359 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 17: they are a battle tested team. They are a mentally 360 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 17: tough team, and that's reflected in their last two wins. 361 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 17: Obviously against the Panthers, Carolina scores late in the game 362 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 17: and the Rams have to come back and win the 363 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 17: game with a late touchdown of their own. 364 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 9: And then you might have seen. 365 00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 17: The viral clip in Chicago after Caleb Williams miraculous touchdown 366 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 17: to Cole Comet gets all the momentum and the Bears 367 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 17: Bears momentum, and then Sean McVay gathers the team around 368 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 17: and says, we are going to win this game. They're 369 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 17: able to gather themselves win the game in overtime. So 370 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 17: they'll go to Seattle hoping that that characteristic, that trait 371 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 17: of not giving a bleep about what happened in the 372 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 17: play before serves them. In the NFC Championship game, talked about. 373 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: The turnovers omar off the top of this that was 374 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: definitely a big part of why Sam Donald and the 375 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: Viking season did not continue last year against the Rams 376 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: in the game that was actually played in Arizona, what's 377 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: the game of the Rams to once again win that 378 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: turnover battle against Donald and the Seahawks this week. 379 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 17: Yeah, pretty remarkable in that both of these teams combined 380 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 17: scores were separated by one point in the course of 381 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 17: them splitting the two games that they faced off against 382 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 17: one another. So when you look at the turnover battle, 383 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 17: it was seven to one in favor of the Rams. 384 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 17: Sam Darnold throwing four interceptions the first time they played, 385 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 17: and then the Seahawks turning the ball over three times 386 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 17: in that second one. I talked to linebacker Omar Spates 387 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 17: about that, and he said that keeping Sam Darnold uncomfortable 388 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 17: both mentally and physically mentally by changing the picture of 389 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 17: what they're showing on the field, and then physically by 390 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 17: moving him offense his spot, hitting him relentlessly, those are 391 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 17: the aspects to continue that trend of turnovers for the Seahawks. 392 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 17: They hope to continue that on Sunday as well. 393 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: Omar, thank you very much, great to seeing you out 394 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: there on the grass. As they say, we'll talk to 395 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: you again very soon. Mean, while, over in the AFC, 396 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: we got a battle. It's gonna be an interesting one, 397 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: in part because the quarterbacks starting for the Broncos hasn't 398 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: seen the field in over two years. What is Jared 399 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: sinam Evan's store for Drake May and the Patriots. Brian 400 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: Valdier and Bucky Brooks will be with us right after 401 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: this to break it all down on the Insiders, presented 402 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: by Progressive Insurance. 403 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 7: Welcome back to the Insiders. It's time for good coverage 404 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 7: presented by Progressive Insurance. The Patriots are one of three 405 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 7: teams since two thousand to play in both the Wildcard 406 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 7: and Divisional round and allow fewer than twenty points and 407 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 7: five hundred yards over those two games combined. They joined 408 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 7: the two thousand and six Colts and the two thousand 409 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 7: Ravens that was a heck of the defense, who both 410 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 7: went on to win the Super Bowl. Here is the 411 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 7: Patriots Broncos playoff history. You might notice a trend there. 412 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 7: The home team won all five of the previous meetings. 413 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 7: Four of those were in Denver. H Does that say 414 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 7: that it is difficult to play in Denver? Interestingly, Drake 415 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 7: May has never played at altitude here. 416 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 9: May and Jared. 417 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 18: Si I haven't thrown it out to before, never really 418 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 18: been too to Colorado or to a plays withoutsre that 419 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 18: that I've filled on football at but I think there 420 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 18: is some adjustment to it. I think, you know, feeling 421 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 18: out warm ups and seeing how whate a deep ball 422 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 18: is like or kind of what the altitude does. I 423 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 18: think the biggest thing is just for us, just kind 424 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 18: of fatigue wise. I think we'll try to get a 425 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 18: feel for warm ups and I know it's a little different, 426 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 18: but I know a lot of teams play out there 427 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 18: all the time, so I we'll have an adjustment and 428 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 18: just for me just feeling out almost mate though, a 429 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 18: few extra deep ones, see how it is, and I 430 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 18: think he'll be pretty cool. Get a few extra yards 431 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 18: on a on a deep ball, you can always use that. 432 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 6: Yeah. 433 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 19: Look, I think at the end of the day, obviously, 434 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 19: I'm very appreciative of New England for giving me a 435 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 19: shot in this league, drafting me. You know, obviously you 436 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 19: know Bill's not there anymore, but there, I know there's 437 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 19: still front office guys there that were there when I 438 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 19: was there. Nick Cassario is down in Houston now the GM. 439 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 19: You know, he was a big part of that too. 440 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 19: Josh McDaniels, who obviously was my play caller. I mean 441 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 19: I've only had two plays in my life Sean and Josh, 442 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 19: so super appreciative of them for sure, but really just 443 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 19: just fired up for the opportunity for these guys in 444 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 19: this locker room, and you know, we're looking forward to 445 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,959 Speaker 19: Sunday and getting out there and you know, seeing what 446 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 19: we got. 447 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 7: There is, of course, a third quarterback in this game, 448 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 7: Bo Nicks, who was injured right at the end of 449 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 7: the divisional round game and is out for the rest 450 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 7: of the playoffs. He posted on Instagram today he has 451 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 7: had surgery on the fractured ankle. He said it was 452 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 7: hard to put in the words. This was devastating, that 453 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 7: is what he said for his season to end like this. 454 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 7: So best wishes to Bone Nix on his recovery. Obviously, 455 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 7: he is going to be watching this AFC Championship game, 456 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 7: just like Brian Baldinger and Bucky Brooks are going. 457 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 6: To be as well. 458 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 7: All Right, Bucky, I want to start with you on 459 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 7: the game itself. What should we expect from Jared Sidham, 460 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 7: who we frankly have not seen on a football field 461 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 7: throw a meaningful pass a long time. 462 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 20: No, we haven't seen him throw a meaningful pass in 463 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 20: a long time. But I will say I think Sean 464 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 20: Payton has the utmost confidence in Jared Siddam is someone 465 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 20: who he handpicked to come over to be QB two 466 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 20: a year ago, and he is going to continue to 467 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 20: build out this offense with Jared Stidham in mind. Understand this, 468 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 20: Jared Sidam played a two preseason game and he averaged 469 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 20: nine point nine yards per attempt. 470 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 6: He had a. 471 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 20: Seventy eight point nine completion rate, So he understands how 472 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 20: to run this offense. And even though preseason is nothing 473 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 20: like postseason, it gives you a glimpse in terms of 474 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 20: what Sean Payton likes about Jared Stidham. They still going 475 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 20: to be the same things that they have to get done. 476 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 20: They need to run the football, they need to put 477 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 20: the ball in the hands of the playmakers. You'll see 478 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 20: every screen that you can think about to try and 479 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 20: slow down the rush and do those things. But make 480 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 20: no mistake about this, there is a lot of confidence 481 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 20: on the offense side of the ball and how Jared 482 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 20: Sidham is going to play. They have to make sure 483 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 20: he's protected. But I think Sean Payton has enough confidence 484 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 20: in itself as a play caller and instead. 485 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 6: Of that He's going to play this game like he's 486 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 6: always played. 487 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 7: Baldi is a big game and it is time for 488 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 7: baldise big ballers. So give me who you got for 489 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 7: the AFC. Starting with the Patriots. 490 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 21: Well, Judy Bucket just talked about Stitty. That's why I'm 491 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 21: calling because that's what Sean Payton calls Joston. 492 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 2: I get an after Ctitty. It's going to be important. 493 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 21: I mean, there's a reason why the Patriots signed Milton 494 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 21: Williams right. 495 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 2: Out of the box. They watched him in the postseason 496 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 2: for the Eagles last year. 497 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 21: Give that interior pass rush right there, that's what they 498 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 21: need so that Jared Stidham can't step up. It's going 499 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 21: to be difficult he get you know, forget about the 500 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 21: stats he pressured last week, collapsed in the pocket. 501 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 2: These two postseason games, he's. 502 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 21: Been a big part of it, a big reason why 503 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 21: Mike brab will really push to get him to rebuild 504 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 21: this defensive line. Yes, Harold Landery on the outside, lack 505 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 21: Avon from the outside, they've got that, but they need 506 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 21: that interior push. So if you're going to protect Ctitty, 507 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 21: why not get Quinn Miners. 508 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: He's a rock. He's an absolute rock. 509 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 21: You started every day that Sean Payton's coached there in 510 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 21: Denver these last three years. You watched him last week. 511 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 21: He just keeps the pocket flat. There's not many people 512 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 21: that have this type of strength. 513 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, just can can we run that back? 514 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 2: Can we just. 515 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 21: Watch how he just knocked those hands down, like he 516 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 21: gives the quarterback a chance. 517 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: And I think right now that well here we go. 518 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 2: Look well, I mean you could just walk play after 519 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: play after play. I mean, whether JK. Dobbins plays or RJ. 520 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 21: Harvey, you can help Jared Stenham by running the ball 521 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 21: right down Highway seventy seven. 522 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 6: That's what he is. 523 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 21: He's a highway right there to the running game, just 524 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 21: clearing out the lanes. So you want to get big 525 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 21: ballers like just bam Oh Quincy. 526 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 2: He is an unbelievable player, First Team All Pro for 527 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 2: reason this year. 528 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 6: I mean, Baldy, I. 529 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 20: Love how excited you get about the big guys in 530 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 20: the trenches. I'm gonna get excited about someone outside who 531 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 20: has to be the X factor for the Broncos, and 532 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,959 Speaker 20: that is Riley Moss. Everyone understands who Passer ten is. 533 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 20: He's a reigning defensive player of the year. So a 534 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 20: lot of times, Rodley Moss is the one that catches 535 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 20: all the smoke, and you can best believe that Drake 536 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 20: May and the Patriots are going to target him. 537 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 6: He is a guy who's had to whether. 538 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 20: A barrageer throws and how he fares in this storm 539 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 20: could determine whether the Broncos are able to move on. 540 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 20: So there's a lot of attension on Jared Stidham on offense, 541 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 20: but keep an eye on Riley Moss. How he holds 542 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 20: up in his individual matchup could determine if the Broncos 543 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 20: advance to the next round. 544 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: New Today a whole lot on the coaching front, including 545 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: the return to Kansas City of offensive coordinator Eric b 546 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: Enemy won two Super Bowls on Andy Reid's staff and 547 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: been the Commanders offensive coordinator for one season. Breech Stinny UCLA, 548 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: spent this season with the Bears. Now, with Matt Naggi 549 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: out of contract, Andy Reid bringing back one of his 550 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: own in a move that is certainly going to be 551 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: popular with a lot of players there in Kansas City. 552 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: The Bills also taking a look at one of their 553 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: own offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, for the head coaching position. 554 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 6: They are running a wide search. 555 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: They put on a number of requests today, but Brady 556 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: has a close relationship with Josh Allen, certainly a logical 557 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: candidate for the position. The Cardinals coaching search is going 558 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: on as Ian Rapid Port report Earlier today, Jaguars defensive 559 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: coordinator Anthony Campanilly headed in for a second in person 560 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: interview with Arizona On Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Chargers appear to have their 565 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. It will be Mike McDaniel, the former Dolphins 566 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: head coach, highly coveted for offensive coordinator jobs in this cycle, 567 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: still is alive in both the Raiders and Ravens head 568 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: coaching searches. 569 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 6: But if he's going to be in oc, it's going 570 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 6: to be in La. Welcome back to the Insiders. 571 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: Tom Belisaro, joined once again by Brian Baldinger and Bucky Brooks. Baldy, 572 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: I'll start with you. We know that Mike McDaniel's got 573 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: a lot of interesting ideas on offense. Now taking over 574 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: with Justin Herbert and company, what's this going to look like? 575 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 21: Well, I think it's gonna be a good fit because 576 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 21: that's what Jim Harbaugh wants to do. He wants to 577 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 21: really run the ball and really win the line of scrimmage. 578 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 21: It's going to help Mike, you know, getting Joe Old 579 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 21: and Rashaun Slater back. I mean they were really played 580 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 21: last year with difficulty at the tackle position. That being said, 581 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 21: he traveled Kyle Shanahan, you know, from Cleveland to Atlanta 582 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 21: to San Francisco, Super Bowls, playoff games, Excellent in the 583 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 21: run game, and it's even this year with Devon Chan 584 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 21: the fifth leading rusher I'm the league this year down 585 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 21: in Miami. 586 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: You look at what he takes, what you have. 587 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 21: How he gained plans, the formations, the motions. It's really 588 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 21: gonna be I think a very diversified offense, and I 589 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 21: think we'll see Justin Herbert much better protected than what 590 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 21: we saw in the postseason and down the stretch this year. 591 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 21: I think he's a good fit for what Jim wants 592 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 21: to do there with the Chargers, and I think he'd 593 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 21: be pretty lucky the land of as well. 594 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 20: Baldy, I agree with you in terms of this is 595 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 20: going to look much different than the version of the 596 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 20: offense that he ran down in Miami. Some of that 597 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 20: was due to the personnel that he had tybreek Hill, 598 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 20: jaylen Water, and also to a tacking about Lowa to it, 599 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 20: talking about Lowa being an RPO master. They did a 600 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 20: lot of those things and the speed that they had 601 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 20: on the outside made them play side to side. 602 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 6: This is different. 603 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 20: I think he leans back into what he has always 604 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 20: known from the Shanahan system, the creativity, while still being 605 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 20: a ground and pound physical attack. They wanted diversify their 606 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 20: offense to better maximize the talent of Justin Herbert while 607 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 20: also retaining that physicality. 608 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 6: There's a creative way to do it. 609 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 20: I think they want to live in those extremes of 610 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 20: creativity while still keeping the ground and pound element that 611 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 20: Jim Harborough wants because he knows how important it is 612 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 20: to impose their will on their opponents. 613 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 15: With the first pick in the two thousand and nine 614 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 15: NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select Matthew Stafford, quarterback Georgia When. 615 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 21: Number nine meets the gun one that golden arm comes alive. 616 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: How about that quarterback? 617 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 8: A blockbuster trade to shake up a Saturday Night. The 618 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 8: Los Angeles Rams think they have a watch starred quarterbacks. 619 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 15: For some reason. 620 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 14: Between Saturday Night and now, everyone just decided the Rams 621 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 14: are going to win the Super Bowl next year. 622 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 15: Stafford from under center steps back roads to fade back 623 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 15: shoulder Cooper Cup got it. 624 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 20: The Los Angeles Rams Our world tchip. 625 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 6: Is Matthew Stafford. Another case for MVP. 626 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: A lightning strike from the right hand of. 627 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 6: The MVP favorite nephew for MVP. 628 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 8: Man, if I know I was gonna be using that clipo, 629 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 8: would had a better shirt tie combo just a little 630 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,959 Speaker 8: too busy, Plus I had some long sideburns. 631 00:31:59,280 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 9: That was a long time. 632 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 8: Matthew Stafford was with the Lions long time ago. Now 633 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 8: he's with the Rams. 634 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 9: Now he's an MVP candidate. 635 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 8: This is a look at how he has done against 636 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 8: the Seahawks leading up to the dramatic third rematch. Third 637 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 8: matchup of these two teams. Welcome back in Baldy and Bucky. 638 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 8: I want to get into this matchup specifically as it 639 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 8: relates mostly to the quarterbacks. Not to my shoe tie 640 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 8: combination all the way back then when the blockbuster Stafford 641 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 8: trade happens. Baldy, A'll start with you, Sorry, Bucky, y'all 642 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 8: start with you. Take me through these quarterbacks that we 643 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 8: are going to see on Sunday. 644 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 20: Look, you talk about it, Ian, You're talking about the 645 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 20: MVP front runner and Matthew Stafford taking on a guy 646 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 20: who's been red hot and Sam Darnold. If you're the 647 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 20: LDA Rams, you love your chances with the MVP front 648 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 20: runner at the him. He is a guy that closes 649 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 20: out games like no other. Whenever they're down, he has 650 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 20: a way of bringing them back. And the connection that 651 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 20: he has with Devonte Adams and Puka Nakula and the 652 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 20: other weapons on the outside always keeps the Rams in 653 00:32:59,320 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 20: the game. 654 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 6: So there's a lot of confidence. 655 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 20: From the LA side on their office but also on 656 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 20: their defense because they feel like they may be the 657 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 20: bit of the boogieyman when it comes to Sam Donald. 658 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 6: And even though he squashed some. 659 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 20: Of that narrative with that Thursday night victory in dramatic fashion, 660 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 20: still the last few times that they matched up against him, 661 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 20: they made it turn it over. Look for Chris Shuler, 662 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 20: their defensive coordinator. They have some special things up for 663 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 20: Sam Donald to have to deal with. If he takes 664 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 20: care of the ball, that bowzwell for the Seahawks.
