Speaker 1: The Lions are officially playoff bound again, but he could
Speaker 1: have predicted that part back in like August. The real
Speaker 1: question remains, what if anything stands between Detroit and a
Speaker 1: trip to Super Bowl fifty nine. Our guy Baldy's gonna
Speaker 1: be here to break down the biggest threats in the NFC.
Speaker 2: It's Week fourteen.
Speaker 1: Your fantasy team has ridden the heroics of Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: or Jayden Daniels all season, and now with your playoff
Speaker 1: hopes on the line, welcome to buy Mgeddon.
Speaker 2: Never fear.
Speaker 1: Adam Rank is here to save your fantasy season again.
Speaker 1: There's always a little drama in the AFC North every game,
Speaker 1: sometimes literally.
Speaker 2: As the game is ending.
Speaker 1: George Pickens and Greg Newsom aren't done brawling either. Just
Speaker 1: a little less snow and a lot more sass.
Speaker 2: Welcome inside. With the inside.
Speaker 1: There's alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafalo, I am Tom
Speaker 1: Pelisserro Larry Ogin Jobi another member of the Steelers is
Speaker 1: going to be joining us, and just a little bit
Speaker 1: might have some thoughts on that. Right now, guys, we've
Speaker 1: got three spots in the playoffs field. There are still
Speaker 1: twenty five teams alive for the other eleven with five
Speaker 1: weeks to go, and we've got some injuries that are
Speaker 1: impacting some of those teams still in the chase.
Speaker 2: Let's start out with the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Who's tight end Dallas Goddard suffered that knee injury last week.
Speaker 2: No surprise ruled out.
Speaker 1: No decision yet on whether or not potentially he could
Speaker 1: land on short term i R, though they do not
Speaker 1: believe that this is something that's season ending. Some surprises
Speaker 1: popping up on the list. Kenneth Walker the third ankling
Speaker 1: calf injuries. He's listed his questionable before a big game
Speaker 1: against Arizona. The Bills have been kind of limping along
Speaker 1: all season. Dalton Kinka, Keon Coleman listed as questionable. Blik
Speaker 1: Neighbors popping up, had a hip flexer in practice today,
Speaker 1: the he injured. He's questionable, and so he is the
Speaker 1: aforementioned George Pickens. We'll have more on him momentarily, but
Speaker 1: first let's talk about that.
Speaker 2: Game last night.
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell a chance to get his Lions into the
Speaker 1: playoffs again doing what Dan Campbell does, going for it
Speaker 1: on fourth downs and going for it and going for
Speaker 1: it and going for it. Again all the way till here, guys,
Speaker 1: there's forty three seconds left. Everyone in the world is thinking,
Speaker 1: you're just gonna kick the field goal and get a sound.
Speaker 1: They step on Jared Goff. Maybe not the greatest four work,
Speaker 1: but they step on Jared Goff. He gets the handoff off,
Speaker 1: they converted Jake bates On once again to kick the
Speaker 1: field goal as time expires. That's how they knock off
Speaker 1: the Packers once again. That's how the Lions seal another
Speaker 1: return trip to.
Speaker 2: The NFL playoffs.
Speaker 1: Still got some work to do to wrap up the
Speaker 1: NFC North Division title because the Vikings are sitting there
Speaker 1: still only with two losses and the loss Colum Packers
Speaker 1: nine and four. They're going to get in as a
Speaker 1: wild card team. But for the Lions, the first NFC
Speaker 1: team to clinch their spot.
Speaker 2: What was your biggest takeaway from that game last night?
Speaker 3: My biggest takeaway was those fourth downs. And you know,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of reasons I think we all really
Speaker 3: like and appreciate Dan Campbell, and it's about more than
Speaker 3: just his postgame locker room sessions, which are awesome, whether
Speaker 3: or not a guy's yaking in the.
Speaker 4: Garbage or not.
Speaker 3: They're still excellent. But one of the coolest things about
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell, guys, is he has normalized going for it
Speaker 3: on fourth down even when people think you're crazy, even
Speaker 3: in your own territory, even when.
Speaker 2: You don't get it.
Speaker 3: And he has thrived using this. I mean, no one
Speaker 3: has gone for more and fourth down than Dan Campbell
Speaker 3: since who was hired. He's been successful on on.
Speaker 4: When was it Thursday night? There you go Thursday night?
Speaker 2: Four or five?
Speaker 4: On fourth down?
Speaker 3: Jared Goff has over one hundred passer rating on fourth
Speaker 3: downs like they are right, whatever it was. You know,
Speaker 3: these games are all during the days anyway, I think
Speaker 3: Jared gov is a better put back on fourth down
Speaker 3: when he's not getting stepped on, you know. I think
Speaker 3: what Dan Campbell has done is make it okay to
Speaker 3: be aggressive and go for things even if the percentages
Speaker 3: aren't exactly what you think, which to me opens up
Speaker 3: the entire playbook for the entire world of coaches to
Speaker 3: do whatever they think is best to the team, not
Speaker 3: caring about criticism.
Speaker 2: And I love it so much and.
Speaker 3: The fact that he is thriving doing it makes it
Speaker 3: even better.
Speaker 2: Got set.
Speaker 1: We got several text messages last night after the one
Speaker 1: failed fourth down from their own thirty two yard line,
Speaker 1: with people saying Dan Campbell's an idiot, those people then
Speaker 1: taking it back a little bit later. Listen, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of outcome based analysis in all of this, but
Speaker 1: don't overlook the fact the Lions are good at this.
Speaker 1: They convert over half of their fourth downs and by
Speaker 1: playing four down football, it allows them to play this
Speaker 1: really aggressive style. It's baked into their DNA. Whether you
Speaker 1: like it or not, Dan Campbell is going to continue
Speaker 1: to do it. That's why the Lions right now sitting
Speaker 1: in the number one slot in the NFC playoff picture.
Speaker 1: You see the Vikings and the Packers, two other teams
Speaker 1: in the same division. Still those top two wild card spots.
Speaker 1: We're going to have a Vikings Falcons game on Sunday
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, potential playoff preview. There what else jokes out
Speaker 1: at you, Mike about the NFC playoff picture as it stands?
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: Look, I'll be covering the Eagles on Sunday, and I'm
Speaker 5: just watching that game last night. I'm thinking about Detroit
Speaker 5: being at home and how I think that's going to
Speaker 5: be a huge advantage for them to be able to
Speaker 5: play every single playoff game at home. Look if the
Speaker 5: Eagles they've got two losses. If the Eagles win their
Speaker 5: next two games Sunday in the following week and the
Speaker 5: Lions lose to the Bills, which could conceivably happen, the
Speaker 5: Lions still have that conference tiebreaker, So Detroit, the Eagles
Speaker 5: are going to need a conference loss here to get
Speaker 5: into the first overall seed right here. So I think
Speaker 5: Detroit right now is looking at this. I don't know
Speaker 5: what the percentages would be, but i'd say overwhelming favorite
Speaker 5: now to be the number one seed. Think about having
Speaker 5: to go into Ford Field two. Team's going to have
Speaker 5: to do it. We saw what the atmosphere was like
Speaker 5: last year when they hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It
Speaker 5: was electric in that place, and that's gonna be a
Speaker 5: tough place for somebody to go in and win the
Speaker 5: NFC championship game. Think about that crowd knowing they'd be
Speaker 5: only sixty minutes away from a Super Bowl. I think
Speaker 5: last night's win was absolutely.
Speaker 2: Enormous for Detroit.
Speaker 1: I don't want to face the Lions anywhere right now,
Speaker 1: even if their entire front seven is hurt, which right
Speaker 1: now that's basically true. They're playing with a bunch of
Speaker 1: guys that they picked up off the street, but facing
Speaker 1: them in Detroit. Mike, you are absolutely right. I would
Speaker 1: not want to be walking into that building. I would
Speaker 1: like to be a fly on the wall for a
Speaker 1: Steelers Brown's rematch on Sunday for a lot of different reasons,
Speaker 1: including the fact that the last time we saw these
Speaker 1: teams on the field, literally the.
Speaker 2: Last time we saw this.
Speaker 1: In the background, it's WrestleMania with George Pickens and Greg
Speaker 1: Newsom while the final Hail Mary is literally still in
Speaker 1: the air. George Pickens was asked today if maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they'd talk it out before the game.
Speaker 6: Today, before the game. I mean, I don't even know
Speaker 6: who that means. He's trash tard, like I first.
Speaker 7: Game, you get the nay, yeah, I mean it's it's
Speaker 7: pretty easy, man.
Speaker 2: We say it in our room.
Speaker 7: Smart tough, a koind of a resilient team, and I'm
Speaker 7: all about the team.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 7: He's a guy that cares more or so about himself,
Speaker 7: and you could see that in the penalties that he causes.
Speaker 7: And you know, for me, my job is to try
Speaker 7: to do whatever I can help the team win. So
Speaker 7: there's never gonna be no one on one battle for me.
Speaker 7: My battles to try to help my team. Just nah,
Speaker 7: that's a that's a like I said, he does that
Speaker 7: type of stuff all the time. There will never be
Speaker 7: a man that ever could fuel me in any type
Speaker 7: of way.
Speaker 1: So definitely not slipping that in as the one more question,
Speaker 1: by the way to George Pickens a bold move.
Speaker 2: There no follow ups. That's enough.
Speaker 1: Doesn't know who Greg Newsom is except Newsom says, yeah
Speaker 1: he does because one time he DMed me.
Speaker 2: He's got it right there.
Speaker 1: Back in twenty nineteen, they were both in college saying
Speaker 1: live this is fun Ian in a game that otherwise
Speaker 1: has very few implications, at least on the brown side
Speaker 1: of things.
Speaker 2: Steel are still trying to wrap up the.
Speaker 1: AFC North, but a little bit of spice, especially involving
Speaker 1: a guy in George Pickens who is not shy about
Speaker 1: taking on the smoke.
Speaker 3: No, I think George Pickens is here for all of
Speaker 3: it and creates a lot of it. And you know,
Speaker 3: I get a couple thoughts on this. First of all,
Speaker 3: understand that everybody keeps receipts. Now, it's kind of the thing, right,
Speaker 3: So if you've done something bad or good, sometimes bad
Speaker 3: but maybe good, people are going to have receipts.
Speaker 4: It is going to be out there.
Speaker 3: So understand before you say something like, I don't know
Speaker 3: what that dude is like. He might have slid in
Speaker 3: the DMS and you probably do know who he is,
Speaker 3: So just be aware of that, just for future reference,
Speaker 3: for all future trash targets you're going to pull that
Speaker 3: I don't even know who this guy is. The other
Speaker 3: thing is the AFC North is the best and we're
Speaker 3: learning this and I think the Hard Knock episode has
Speaker 3: at least the one we've seen, has been awesome. You know,
Speaker 3: these are some of the most fun games to watch,
Speaker 3: and it's hard to describe what the intensity is like
Speaker 3: for someone who's not used to seeing it, right, because
Speaker 3: it really does, to me at least, feel like playoff football,
Speaker 3: and some of these feelings, some of these rivalries are
Speaker 3: very real, and so to see these two guys kind
Speaker 3: of bring it to life in this very petty, you know,
Speaker 3: trash talking situation.
Speaker 4: I'm here for all of that.
Speaker 3: I love the petty, embrace the petty, and God forbid,
Speaker 3: God forbid George Pickens catches the touchdown over Greg Newsom,
Speaker 3: or Newsom catches the ball over Pickens, it takes to
Speaker 3: the crib.
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just here for all of that.
Speaker 8: Just bring it all to me.
Speaker 5: We had two denials in the AFC North this week,
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow denying that he had anything to do with
Speaker 5: purchasing a batmobile despite the fact that he's on camera
Speaker 5: and on.
Speaker 2: Mike saying that he did.
Speaker 5: And then George Pickens saying, I have no idea who
Speaker 5: that guy is that I just fought with just a
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago. Here's what I want to see,
Speaker 5: and through the magic of hard knocks we can see it.
Speaker 5: I want to see how Mike Tomlin handles George Pickens,
Speaker 5: knowing that this is out there and making sure.
Speaker 2: That his head is in the game.
Speaker 5: We saw him tell Pickens the other day after that
Speaker 5: interception early on where he thought he should have gotten
Speaker 5: a flag, and yes he should have.
Speaker 2: I need you in the game. That's not going to
Speaker 2: decide the game. Stay with me, Stay with me.
Speaker 5: Mike Tomlin has realized that George Pickens needs to be
Speaker 5: handled a little bit differently than some other players. So
Speaker 5: you know, all week long, he's going to be trying
Speaker 5: his best to make sure that his.
Speaker 2: Head is in the game.
Speaker 5: And then let's see what happens on game day as well,
Speaker 5: because if the extra curriculars start early on, it's one
Speaker 5: thing for it to happen after a failed here game
Speaker 5: over right, that's one thing. It's another thing that happened
Speaker 5: early in the game, in the middle of the game,
Speaker 5: at a clutch point in the game. I can't wait
Speaker 5: to see how Tomlin handles this, seeing as how he
Speaker 5: handled his emotions so well the other day.
Speaker 1: Here's one more thing I know from twenty plus years
Speaker 1: covering the NFL, there are some players who don't know
Speaker 1: the other player's name. I'm not saying that's the case here,
Speaker 1: but it's entirely possible. George Pikett, if you said number zero,
Speaker 1: might have had a better chance than Greg Newsom, because
Speaker 1: the look on his face was very much like I've
Speaker 1: never heard that name of my life. If not, George,
Speaker 1: about you fantastic acting in the moment. Coming back to
Speaker 1: this on the Insiders, let's talk about the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers who have an uphill battle to be able to
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs here, but any talk about trading
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, firing Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 2: John Lynch has a reaction to it. Let's just put
Speaker 2: it that way.
Speaker 1: We've also got another member of the Steelers, Larry Ogan
Speaker 1: Joby on the show, Walter Payton Man of the Year
Speaker 1: nominee and a core part of a Pittsburgh defense. That's
Speaker 1: a big reason they are on top right now in
Speaker 1: the AFC North.
Speaker 2: So how do they finish it off? We'll ask Larry
Speaker 2: right after this saw on the Insiders.
Speaker 9: All right, wella this year we are we are announcing
Speaker 9: our nominee for the Walter pay Man of the Year.
Speaker 9: I've had a privilege of winning this award. You know,
Speaker 9: it's not about me. It's about what Walter Payton stands for,
Speaker 9: being a good man on the field off the field.
Speaker 9: This nominee hosts an annual youth football camp, provide school
Speaker 9: supplies for books for over three hundred students, serves Thanksgiving dinner,
Speaker 9: takes families on shopping trips for Christmas, host mentoring etiquette
Speaker 9: dinners for young men. This nominee I have the privilege
Speaker 9: of knowing personally this dude does a lot, doesn't say
Speaker 9: a lot. But we get to see his work. Our
Speaker 9: nominee is Larry Ogunjob congrass brother.
Speaker 10: We have an obligation to give, guys, let's listen, tremendous ways.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 8: I feel like our opportunity.
Speaker 10: To give to get back to people's bidis so you know,
Speaker 10: when you have an opportunity.
Speaker 8: To you team for others, you kind of the last
Speaker 8: somewhat or other than you. So you got a chance
Speaker 8: to really make a difference.
Speaker 10: So you guys, let this beet ex anybody do what
Speaker 10: you guys can do it and keep you know, striving
Speaker 10: for great.
Speaker 3: Special Does it get more heartwarming than that Cam Hayward
Speaker 3: passing the towrds to this year's Pittsburgh Steelers Walter Paid
Speaker 3: Man of the Year nominee, presented by Nationwide. This is
Speaker 3: Larry Ogan Joby, as you saw in that awesome clip
Speaker 3: right there, well and there he is very pleased to
Speaker 3: welcome Larry Ogenjob for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baldy, thank
Speaker 3: you for joining us. Baldy, we'll get to you in
Speaker 3: just one second. I want to start with with Larry here,
Speaker 3: who you know. I think Cam really explained it exceptionally well.
Speaker 3: The kind of work that you do with the First
Speaker 3: and Many Foundation and in so many other ways in
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh you talked about shining the light and others. Let's
Speaker 3: shine the light on you for a second if you were,
Speaker 3: if you were to become the first Nigerian born Walter
Speaker 3: Payton Award winner, what would.
Speaker 4: That mean to you?
Speaker 8: I mean everything. I think it's a humbling experience.
Speaker 10: Even be nominated, oh man, you know the falling cam's footsteps.
Speaker 10: But being able to impact lives and given a way
Speaker 10: that it's so big is very important. And you know,
Speaker 10: coming from an immigrant family, I think that a lot
Speaker 10: of times you don't understand your impact. And me being
Speaker 10: introduced to football and just everything that football has done
Speaker 10: for me in my life. It's like it'd feel wrong
Speaker 10: for me not to be able to get back in
Speaker 10: because of that.
Speaker 8: I have a heart to give my parents.
Speaker 10: You know, growing up we didn't have a lot, but
Speaker 10: they always you know, tried to give out of nothing
Speaker 10: and that kind of followed me through the league and
Speaker 10: being able to get back and get back in Big
Speaker 10: veg has always been important to me.
Speaker 8: So the opportunity win would be amazing.
Speaker 10: But just being nominated and you know, shining that light
Speaker 10: and being a beacon for people and allowing them to
Speaker 10: understand that they have an opportunity to do these things
Speaker 10: that they want to do.
Speaker 8: I think is super important.
Speaker 6: Larie.
Speaker 11: I was in Las Vegas last year in saal cam
Speaker 11: when he won the award, and you know, it's very hummy.
Speaker 11: I think it's the biggest award in the NFL. I
Speaker 11: mean there was accolades for play on the field man,
Speaker 11: you know, player of your.
Speaker 6: Lot sho, but I think this this is the ward.
Speaker 11: Tell me about your foundation line because it's a big
Speaker 11: part of why you've been nominated here and what you're
Speaker 11: trying to do right now.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so first of many started probably my I want
Speaker 10: to say my second or third year and really being
Speaker 10: a first generation Nigeria. My parents immigrated from Nigeria back
Speaker 10: in I want to say, nineteen eighty nine. My dad
Speaker 10: got here nineteen ninety three, my mom got here. I
Speaker 10: was born in ninety four, so you know, we moved
Speaker 10: to Greensboro, North Carolina, where I was raised. And a
Speaker 10: lot of times when you're starting out and it's a
Speaker 10: different environment because your parents were raised in Nigeria, but
Speaker 10: you know you're being raised in the States. So sometimes
Speaker 10: it's kind of a disconnect and when you're growing up,
Speaker 10: and I felt like, you know, if I do make
Speaker 10: it to a place where I can, you know, be
Speaker 10: a life for people. I want to start with mentorship,
Speaker 10: you know, being able to mentor young kids and have
Speaker 10: them understand that, like there's somebody in their position as
Speaker 10: well that understands what they've been through.
Speaker 8: You know, especially young immigrant kids. We need a little mentorship,
Speaker 8: we need a little guidance.
Speaker 10: And for me, it's you know, finding those kids, pinpointing them,
Speaker 10: especially at a young age, and you know, kind of
Speaker 10: guiding them a love of leading them alone through you know,
Speaker 10: their journey, and I think that's super important.
Speaker 3: There's plenty to talk about with the Steelers, and for
Speaker 3: sure we will get to that. I heard an interesting
Speaker 3: story about you though, involving you your parents when you
Speaker 3: were younger. From what I was told, you're kind of
Speaker 3: late to football, surely much later than these seven or
Speaker 3: eight year olds who play. You know a lot of
Speaker 3: times when people start tell us, for those who have
Speaker 3: not heard, how you ended up playing football and what
Speaker 3: role your parents had in that.
Speaker 8: So it was kind of ironic.
Speaker 10: I was pretty I was pretty obese kid when I
Speaker 10: was growing up, so I was about three hundred and
Speaker 10: fifty pounds when I first started playing football. Actually, before
Speaker 10: that real reason why I started playing football school, my
Speaker 10: mom took away at my xbox. She was kind of
Speaker 10: annoyed too much. They're like, man, you're gonna kill yourself.
Speaker 10: You don't if you don't kind of change your life.
Speaker 10: So they met a coach with my dad was at
Speaker 10: the park with my sister. His name was Robert Mitchell,
Speaker 10: and he told my dad, I think I can help
Speaker 10: your son.
Speaker 8: So one day he picked me up. He took me
Speaker 8: to work out.
Speaker 10: I was kind of annoyed because I wasn't used to
Speaker 10: waking up early and going to workout. That wasn't really
Speaker 10: mean because I was off all night playing video games
Speaker 10: and whatnot. And one day we were driving past the
Speaker 10: high school and he was like, you're gonna play football.
Speaker 10: I'm like, no, I'm not. He's like, yes you are.
Speaker 10: I'm like no, i'm not. He's like, yes you are.
Speaker 10: We got an argument in the car. Off me got
Speaker 10: to permissions tip. He took it to my mom. My
Speaker 10: mom signed it. I was on the football field that Saturday.
Speaker 10: You know, I couldn't make it through the first workouts,
Speaker 10: you know, they were doing sprints. I was running, couldn't finish.
Speaker 10: Coaches came up to me the next day the or like, Larry,
Speaker 10: we'll make sure you're still here. I'm like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 10: still here, but in my head, I'm like only because
Speaker 10: I have to be.
Speaker 8: But I ended up.
Speaker 10: Going from three point fifty summer of my sophomore year
Speaker 10: to two forty seven the summer of my junior year.
Speaker 10: So I ended up losing one hundred pounds in the year,
Speaker 10: and I kind of asked my coach, you know what
Speaker 10: I needed to do.
Speaker 8: And I think the turning point for me was they
Speaker 8: gave the award for most.
Speaker 10: Improved JV Player and I won, and that was like
Speaker 10: the first time my life felt like I earned something
Speaker 10: that I really worked for and it kind of just
Speaker 10: set the trajectory. So I asked my coach, you know
Speaker 10: what I needed to do. Said, you had to get faster,
Speaker 10: you had to get stronger, and you had to perfect
Speaker 10: your technique. So you know, every day after practice, you know,
Speaker 10: grinding and running and losing all good way you end
Speaker 10: up going into your junior year and make All Conference senior,
Speaker 10: your All Conference senior, but all that kind of cool
Speaker 10: stuff and then you get five starship offers it with
Speaker 10: Charlotte Firman, Howard, prest Heert and Kataba and I took
Speaker 10: won official Visit wasn't on any of the Max preps
Speaker 10: or nothing like that. Just took wonderficial visits to Charlotte,
Speaker 10: fell in love with it, and I became the first
Speaker 10: player ever drafted from the university. And you know a
Speaker 10: lot more detail, but it was, like I said, it's
Speaker 10: been a tremendous blessing. Like football has done so much
Speaker 10: for me. It's taken me so many different places. And
Speaker 10: I always tell people's a blessing to be a blessing.
Speaker 10: And I don't take this position. I'm in for granted.
Speaker 10: And all I want to do is, you know, he
Speaker 10: and be life brothers and let them know that they
Speaker 10: can do it too.
Speaker 6: Lara.
Speaker 11: I remember when you were a young buck coming out
Speaker 11: of Charlotte. I remember there was a brand new program
Speaker 11: that you just mentioned about, and you went to Cleveland
Speaker 11: drafted the third round by Cleveland. So you just happen
Speaker 11: to play Cleveland again this week. And there's you know,
Speaker 11: there's guys over there like Joel Antonio that you were there.
Speaker 11: He like when you play against him or Wyatt Teller,
Speaker 11: guys that you were in the locker room with every
Speaker 11: day for a couple of years. Like, is anything said
Speaker 11: out there on the field this weekend between you?
Speaker 6: I know you're the respectors there, but.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we always, you know, dap each other like David
Speaker 10: always walk over, you know, in like a dead ball
Speaker 10: thousand like that, and we'll dap each other up and
Speaker 10: all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8: But you know, so there's always a relationship.
Speaker 10: You know, he spent a lot of years with those guys,
Speaker 10: and you know, you build memories. And now you guys
Speaker 10: are going against each other. I think that's just the
Speaker 10: nature of the business. And you do it with a
Speaker 10: smile on your face, and you know, you know, excity
Speaker 10: for another opportunity, and that's the game of football, and
Speaker 10: this is what it is.
Speaker 4: Love it, Larry.
Speaker 3: You play the game of football extremely well and obviously
Speaker 3: off the field, it has been extremely cool to learn
Speaker 3: about and listen to you talk about everything you do.
Speaker 3: Congratulations on being a Walter Payton Award nominee and obviously
Speaker 3: good luck on Sunday against your old team.
Speaker 8: Big Now Works.
Speaker 3: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have been certainly one
Speaker 3: of the best stories in the NFL, one of the
Speaker 3: best teams in the NFL. Big one coming up on
Speaker 3: Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 2: What do they have cooked up for us?
Speaker 3: Some sort of razzle dazzle flee ficker Josh Allen throwing
Speaker 3: the ball to himself and catching it. We'll get into
Speaker 3: it coming up next on the Insiders.
Speaker 1: I still think Josh Allen did snow angels after the game,
Speaker 1: so was icing down that funny bone after it got hit.
Speaker 1: That thing hurts. The Bills already have clinched the AFCE East.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are in as well. Take a look at
Speaker 1: the rest of the AFC playoff picture, which seems relatively clear,
Speaker 1: though we still got five Sundays left, four things to change.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders. Tom Pellicero joined out there
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles by Jeffrey Chidia as well as Bridget Condon,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Rams Bills coming up this week. Ram's still in
Speaker 1: it in a wide open NFC West. Obviously you got
Speaker 1: deal with Josh Allen, But where does it start for
Speaker 1: this LA defense.
Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you what time.
Speaker 12: I love how they showed so many quarterback highlights when
Speaker 12: they were showing all those Buffalo plays because their run
Speaker 12: game is a big part of what they're doing here.
Speaker 12: Bridget it starts with James Cook and it starts with
Speaker 12: Ray Davis. Those guys are a big part of this offense.
Speaker 12: In fact, Josh Allen said, one reason he's not running
Speaker 12: as much this season, He's on pace for a second
Speaker 12: lowest rushing yards in his career, is because these guys
Speaker 12: are getting it done. He wants them to eat, he
Speaker 12: wants them to have more opportunities. And Joe Brady, their
Speaker 12: offensive coinator, echoed that thought because he looked at this
Speaker 12: offense as a big trust thing, a big chemistry thing.
Speaker 12: These guys all know they can make plays, and that
Speaker 12: run game is what's allowing Josh Allen to be more
Speaker 12: comfortable and more mature this season.
Speaker 13: You talk about that run game for the Bills, but
Speaker 13: it's just as important, maybe even more important for the Rams.
Speaker 13: On Sunday when they face the Bills. I want to
Speaker 13: put in perspective what that means for their big two
Speaker 13: losses that they've had recently. That Eagles game the Dolphins game.
Speaker 13: They rush for under one hundred yards. Their last four
Speaker 13: games that they won, they rush for more than one
Speaker 13: hundred yards. I talked to Kyron Williams this week on
Speaker 13: the phone, and he just had a great mindset. He said,
Speaker 13: we have to be able to score early in this game.
Speaker 13: He said, we can't abandon the run game. That's when
Speaker 13: things change, and that's when things start to go downhill.
Speaker 13: Of course, if they get, you know, behind early, they
Speaker 13: abandon the run game, have to rely on Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 13: which isn't a bad thing either. Of course, he's an
Speaker 13: incredible passer, but when they have that run game, it
Speaker 13: makes them a tough team to stop. I also asked
Speaker 13: him about going up against the Bills and James cook.
Speaker 13: Of course he won't be playing defense, but you know,
Speaker 13: going as a running back against a running back. He said,
Speaker 13: whenever I play good running backs, it's always like a
Speaker 13: hidden competition for him in his mind. And I asked him,
Speaker 13: you know, you guys both came out of that twenty
Speaker 13: twenty two draft class or you friends to your relationship
Speaker 13: with him, and all he said to me was, it's
Speaker 13: somebody that went before me.
Speaker 2: In the draft.
Speaker 13: James Cooks was James cook was one hundred and one
Speaker 13: picks above Kyron Williams. He definitely remembers that and he's like, Yeah,
Speaker 13: maybe people didn't believe in me in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 13: but I know who I am now and I have
Speaker 13: the stage to show them.
Speaker 2: Been a long time since the Rams beat the Bills
Speaker 2: at home.
Speaker 1: According to what it says right here, nineteen eighty three
Speaker 1: at Anaheim Stadium.
Speaker 2: That could be completely made up.
Speaker 1: It sounds made up, but I'm gonna believe it because
Speaker 1: it's on the page here.
Speaker 2: Bill's Mafia Bridget.
Speaker 1: They travel really well, and there's there's a familiarity between these.
Speaker 2: Teams as well.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think we all were at that game, right,
Speaker 13: we were all alive then, nineteen eighty three, that's the year.
Speaker 13: I remember it just like it was yesterday. No, but
Speaker 13: it's also a homecoming for safety Taylor rat Remember he
Speaker 13: was drafted to the Rams in twenty twenty nineteen. He
Speaker 13: spent four seasons with them, He won a Super Bowl
Speaker 13: with this team, and now he's coming back for the
Speaker 13: first time to play the Rams. He did return last
Speaker 13: year play the Chargers at Sofi Stadium. I asked him
Speaker 13: what it's going to be like, and he said, you.
Speaker 14: Know, I'm not really sure what kind of emotions.
Speaker 13: I'm gonna have, but he loves those guys. He spoke
Speaker 13: very highly of both Cooper Cup and Matthew Stafford, saying
Speaker 13: Cup is a great competitor, he does everything. He's very
Speaker 13: detail oriented, called Stafford one of the best arm talents
Speaker 13: to ever grace the field in the NFL, adding they're
Speaker 13: going to have their hands full on Sunday, and yes,
Speaker 13: they've already clinched a playoff spot, but look, this is
Speaker 13: a Bills team that that was just goal number one.
Speaker 13: They are dying to get back to the super Bowl.
Speaker 13: The last time that happened nineteen ninety four, three years
Speaker 13: before Taylor Rapp was even born.
Speaker 12: I'm glad you mentioned Taylor rap because he's going to
Speaker 12: have his hands full that secondary when Buffle's going to
Speaker 12: have their hands full with Pooka Nakua and Cooper Cup.
Speaker 12: Cup talked about that first night game they played a
Speaker 12: few years ago, when Buffalo came into LA twenty twenty
Speaker 12: two season opener and got railed by the Bills thirty
Speaker 12: one to ten.
Speaker 8: Cupp said, they're still.
Speaker 12: Doing a lot of similar things in buffal but what's
Speaker 12: different about the secondary is that it's leading the Bills defense.
Speaker 12: Now you talk about Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamblin and
Speaker 12: Christian Benford and Rasulle Douglas.
Speaker 8: These guys are really good tacklers.
Speaker 12: They're really good at man coverage. They're also really cheap,
Speaker 12: not much investment there, but they're getting a lot of return.
Speaker 12: In fact, so much return that Hey, Coachean McDermott said,
Speaker 12: when Michael High came back out of a retirement, Hey,
Speaker 12: we're pretty good here, Micha.
Speaker 8: Hide and go to practice squad.
Speaker 12: The guys who got are playing at a very high level.
Speaker 13: Everybody's so excited, too, Tom to have Micah Hyde back
Speaker 13: in the locker room. I was talking to Dawson Knox,
Speaker 13: obviously a tight end for this team, and at the
Speaker 13: end of our conversation, I said, anything you want to
Speaker 13: add He's like, yeah, let's.
Speaker 14: Talk about Michael Hyde being back. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 14: I wasn't going to ask you.
Speaker 13: You obviously play on offense, but just you know, interesting
Speaker 13: to see what having him as an addition back in
Speaker 13: that locker room will do for this team on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So much veteran attrition for the Bills in the offseason.
Speaker 1: But Michael Hyde very respected in that locker room. Jeffrey Bridgett,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Rams were, by the way, a
Speaker 1: playoff team last year. Who knocked him out? You guessed it, guys.
Speaker 15: I'm so freaking proud of him. That's the way to
Speaker 15: show up. You talk about pressure, We live in a sure,
Speaker 15: that's what we freaking thrive. You did it again, You
Speaker 15: did it again. It doesn't matter who's playing for us,
Speaker 15: It don't matter what's going on. You always find a
Speaker 15: way to win. That's what champions do. This is not happenstance, man,
Speaker 15: This doesn't just happen. This has been in the making. Man,
Speaker 15: this has been in the making. All right, We're all
Speaker 15: supposed to be here together. Man, we're destined for this.
Speaker 15: Just stay the course. All the stats you need as
Speaker 15: he won the freaking game again, Jake.
Speaker 4: Peg Yeah, I freaking love you guys.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 14: Let's get thirteen next week.
Speaker 15: Right, You guys are warriors, You warriors. Good win break
Speaker 15: it down.
Speaker 2: Hey, Like he said, this just don't just happen.
Speaker 6: Boys, we're different again.
Speaker 2: I'll say it again.
Speaker 6: This group'sing different.
Speaker 4: Went I'll do what did they win?
Speaker 2: Who put the hand up?
Speaker 8: At the end there.
Speaker 5: I urge you after this program is over, because we
Speaker 5: want you to watch the whole show. But after the
Speaker 5: program go find the full speech. If you haven't seen it,
Speaker 5: Dan's skipper throwing up into a trash can Dan Campbell
Speaker 5: telling him keep doing whatever you're doing over there, throw,
Speaker 5: throwing up or whatever. There's your playoff picture as we
Speaker 5: bring in Baldy, that is the gentleman that was just laughing.
Speaker 5: Bring him back here in a like Kentucky Derby mint
Speaker 5: ish suit here looking sharp Friday night.
Speaker 2: Hopefully, hopefully you got a.
Speaker 5: Holiday party to go to after this one. The Yeah,
Speaker 5: the Lions are going to a party. It's called the playoffs,
Speaker 5: and potentially he could be hosting that party.
Speaker 2: All the way through.
Speaker 5: Uh, Dan Campbell, they've been true to what they said
Speaker 5: they were going to be. And Dan Campbell's fourth down
Speaker 5: decisions aggressive? Has the public split your thoughts on the
Speaker 5: fourth downs?
Speaker 11: Well, we're just gonna call him Dan, Dan gamble, Dan
Speaker 11: gambler like he went forth last night, might get it
Speaker 11: paid off. I mean he tried five times last night,
Speaker 11: he converted four. I mean two of the fourth down
Speaker 11: conversions last night were touchdowns. Remember the little Texas route
Speaker 11: to Jamiir Gibbson, like right there, that's it. I mean
Speaker 11: that's a fourth down and two right there, that's a
Speaker 11: big difference. He had one, you know, to Tim Patrick
Speaker 11: on fourth and three. This one right here, a little
Speaker 11: stick route right there on the end zone. I mean
Speaker 11: those are touchdowns now. And then you know, at the
Speaker 11: end of the game, they gave it to Montgomery, you know,
Speaker 11: on fourth and one. They didn't want to give the
Speaker 11: ball back to green Bay. And I think part of it, Mike,
Speaker 11: honestly was he said it in the locker room he
Speaker 11: doesn't care who who's playing, because I saw Kwan Alexander
Speaker 11: and Jamal Adams, and I saw a bunch of guys
Speaker 11: just signed off literally the bus stop this past week
Speaker 11: that were out there playing for him, And he kind
Speaker 11: of knew that Green Bay's offense they could go the distance,
Speaker 11: and so I think he had to stay in front
Speaker 11: of it. He wanted to end the game with the
Speaker 11: ball in their hands and not give it back to
Speaker 11: Jordan Love. So he made some critical decisions, but ultimately
Speaker 11: they converted their fourth downs last night, four or five,
Speaker 11: and it was the difference between you know, winning their
Speaker 11: eleven straight and possibly losing to the Packers.
Speaker 5: And one of the things that you talk to coaches
Speaker 5: and quarterbacks around this lag Josh Allen's a big one
Speaker 5: on this one. They could win the game, but if
Speaker 5: they don't finish the game with the football in their hands,
Speaker 5: if they have the chance to do it, miserable, right,
Speaker 5: Like once these guys like to finish the game. The
Speaker 5: Lions had a chance. I think that was a big part.
Speaker 5: We're gonna finish the game. They're not even gonna touch
Speaker 5: the football. That was a big part of what dang
Speaker 5: I waited.
Speaker 8: To do there.
Speaker 11: I mean, Josh Allen, you know he still remembers those
Speaker 11: fatal thirteen seconds to Kansas City in a playoff game.
Speaker 6: You know, I mean, that was it. It haunts you
Speaker 6: for a long time. Mike.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sorry, Buffalo Baudy apologizes.
Speaker 6: Been bringing that up.
Speaker 5: But that's in the back of the head, right.
Speaker 6: That's another one that's in the rear viewer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love you, pal, go enjoy your Friday night
Speaker 5: power appreciate you. By mcgeddon is a Festivus still a
Speaker 5: couple of weeks away, but by mcgeddon is upon us.
Speaker 5: Adam rak here to explain how we're all gonna survive it.
Speaker 2: That's coming up next to the Insiders.
Speaker 1: Time now to go inside with NFL Fantasy Live. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Insiders, Tom Pilisaro Ian Rapport, Mike Garifolo.
Speaker 2: Join as we are every Friday. By our buddy Adam Rank.
Speaker 1: It's week fourteen, Rank, the final week for the regular
Speaker 1: season in a lot of fantasy leagues. I feel like
Speaker 1: you should be right out of ideas, but you're an
Speaker 1: idea man. What are you doing for us tonight?
Speaker 6: Well listen.
Speaker 16: It's by mcgeddon, the Wisdom of the NFL. During the
Speaker 16: final weeks of the final week of fantasy football season,
Speaker 16: they decided to have six teams on a bye And
Speaker 16: now we're in by mcgeddon and I'm like William, I'm like,
Speaker 16: I'm like Harry Stamper and ar mcgeddon. I got to
Speaker 16: get a crew of rut next together to go save
Speaker 16: everybody's season.
Speaker 4: Everybody. Yeah, that's what we're doing.
Speaker 2: They got us off that oil drilling.
Speaker 16: Platform to put us out there to go out and
Speaker 16: save your fantasy season this week. And obviously the movie
Speaker 16: studio went and let us use the movie poster, so we.
Speaker 4: And Mac just do what we did in ourselves. Listen,
Speaker 4: I don't care.
Speaker 16: Don't think that you're gonna stop me from ripping off
Speaker 16: that great movie Aerosmith would have signed off too.
Speaker 6: Don't want to close.
Speaker 16: MA looks really good, all right, but listen the roughnecks
Speaker 16: that are gonna help save your season. Let's talk about
Speaker 16: the quarterback position. This literally happened my friend Carla. Somehow
Speaker 16: I managed to drive from the studio of NFL Fantasy
Speaker 16: Live to Huntington Beach, California, Go pick up my kids
Speaker 16: and set somebody's lineup starting with these quarterbacks. Here are
Speaker 16: four quarterbacks you can find this week. If you need somebody.
Speaker 16: With Lamar Jackson and Jayde Daniels out, we got Will Levis,
Speaker 16: Aidan O'Connell, mac Jones, Cooper Rush. But I love Will
Speaker 16: Levis this week. Who's playing host of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 16: Over the last three games, Will Levis has average or
Speaker 16: at least scored more than fifteen Fantasy points in each
Speaker 16: one of those games. And now he's going up against
Speaker 16: the Jacksonville Jaguars, who've given up the most fantasy points
Speaker 16: to quarterbacks this season. This is the player that I
Speaker 16: am picking up and if you don't get Will Levis
Speaker 16: that I do it to Mac Jones, I want to
Speaker 16: be part of this game.
Speaker 4: I know that some people.
Speaker 16: Don't think this is going to be high scoring, but
Speaker 16: I think this is going.
Speaker 4: To be a sneaky high scoring game.
Speaker 16: All right, let's go to the running back position because
Speaker 16: obviously Dereck Henry is not going to be there this week.
Speaker 16: What I mean, I'm just teeing myself up this. Don't
Speaker 16: worry you guys, take a break.
Speaker 6: I know you're very.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I listen to here Ian and Mike talk. Just save
Speaker 1: our American asses.
Speaker 17: Rank Let's go all right, I can see listen Jerome Ford, Uh,
Speaker 17: Jalen Warden, Jalen Warren, cam Akers.
Speaker 4: But since here McCormick is a player that.
Speaker 16: I would sincerely I would love to pick up. Since McCormick, yo,
Speaker 16: he's available.
Speaker 2: I just literally picked.
Speaker 4: Them up for my friend right now as I was
Speaker 4: setting her lineup. And listen.
Speaker 16: Last week he had a career high in rushing yards
Speaker 16: against the Kansas City Chiefs. That's a tough matchup. It
Speaker 16: is very difficult to run against that team. The matchup
Speaker 16: against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, is so muchmuch easier,
Speaker 16: and so I really think that if you are looking
Speaker 16: at this at this quandary, because Joe Mixon is also
Speaker 16: out sincere McCormick's he's rostered in one percent of NFL
Speaker 16: dot com leagues.
Speaker 5: Hey, Ray, I could spend my life in this suite surrender.
Speaker 5: I could stay lost in this moment forever.
Speaker 2: But we got to move on.
Speaker 5: So I gotta ask you about the wide receivers.
Speaker 16: Oh man, I guess I butchered this by just jumping
Speaker 16: over this. But there's guys like Xavier Worthy, Kim Coleman,
Speaker 16: Nick Westbrook, a Keene. But one guy I really love
Speaker 16: is Cavante Turpin of the Dallas Cowboys, who's had at
Speaker 16: least fifty receiving guards in three consecutive games.
Speaker 4: And now he's going up against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 16: Who've been one of the most generous teams to opposing
Speaker 16: wide receivers this season. I really like him to get
Speaker 16: the opportunities from Cooper Rush in a game that we
Speaker 16: expect to be a shootout in Dallas. And you know what,
Speaker 16: in addition to fantasy football, if you're looking for a
Speaker 16: guy who could score a touchdown at any.
Speaker 4: More moment, it might be Turpin'.
Speaker 3: So you guys are all hitting Armageddon. When I think
Speaker 3: of Roughneck, I think of mc light, So I would
Speaker 3: say this rank when I beat nine to one one,
Speaker 3: I want you there with all of.
Speaker 4: My tight ends.
Speaker 3: So give me some of those.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm gonna give you two guys real quick.
Speaker 16: Pat friar Mouth and Grant calcata With Given the injury
Speaker 16: concerns with Dallas Goddard, Grant cal Katara has been able
Speaker 16: to step up. But Pat Fryarmuth, I do know this
Speaker 16: is going to be chasing the fantasy points because he
Speaker 16: had a monster game last week, and it's very it's
Speaker 16: very dangerous to go out there and continue to chase
Speaker 16: the same thing. But listen, not only did the makers
Speaker 16: of Armageddon make the same movie as Deep Impact and
Speaker 16: release him at the same time, I'm willing to do
Speaker 16: that here and going back to Pat friar Move, He's
Speaker 16: available on a lot of fantasy leagues and I'm picking
Speaker 16: up and starting him this week.
Speaker 2: Rank.
Speaker 1: My fantasy team is four million pounds of fuel, one
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, and a thing with two hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: thousand moving parts built by the lowest bidder makes you
Speaker 1: feel good.
Speaker 2: Doesn't it?
Speaker 6: Not me?
Speaker 2: I'm out, but thank you for trying anyway.
Speaker 1: Coming up after this on The Insiders, Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston,
Speaker 1: let's snow this time around. Maybe we'll talk about the Steelers,
Speaker 1: where things go from here, and a lot more when
Speaker 1: Sarah Walls joins the show.
Speaker 2: Next, it's The Insiders.
Speaker 3: You got a big AFC North rematch. Last time it
Speaker 3: was all snow globe, Jameis Winston talking about God and
Speaker 3: snowstorms and snowballs and how lovely things were and then
Speaker 3: everything went crazy after that.
Speaker 2: Will we get that again?
Speaker 4: One can only hope.
Speaker 3: Let's talk to Sarah wallsh specifically about this game. As
Speaker 3: we mentioned obviously, Sarah, it is going to be a
Speaker 3: rematch of what was a fantastic and bonkers game. Do
Speaker 3: we expect it to be similar to last time?
Speaker 18: Well, it's going to be different. And I'll go back
Speaker 18: to something you just said. You mentioned the weather. Here's
Speaker 18: the forecast Sunday in Pittsburgh expected to be forty five
Speaker 18: and sunny.
Speaker 14: That's parcticlalarly springlight conditions in.
Speaker 18: Compared to what you were just mentioning, which is the
Speaker 18: last Hey, I'm not going that.
Speaker 14: I'm for that.
Speaker 18: I have to stand out there, but you're looking at
Speaker 18: the pictures of last time they played. It ended up
Speaker 18: a Browns victory in Cleveland, and the Steelers wide receiver
Speaker 18: George Pickens said that because of those conditions, it saved
Speaker 18: the Browns, basically baming that on the weather. Of course,
Speaker 18: there was a scuffle after that game with Pickens and
Speaker 18: Greg Newsom. Now Pickens showed up on the injury report today.
Speaker 18: He practiced all week, but this Friday he showed up
Speaker 18: as limited because of a hamstring. It says he's questionable.
Speaker 18: His rivalry with Newsom that's still going at a healthy
Speaker 18: clip because he was also asked about him today. They
Speaker 18: got into it after that game.
Speaker 2: He said he.
Speaker 14: Didn't know who Newsom was.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 18: Newsom had a response because he was asked about those comments,
Speaker 18: and Newsom said, you can't find it disrespectful if you
Speaker 18: don't care about the person that's saying those things. So
Speaker 18: that's just a little extra drama baked into Sunday's game.
Speaker 18: Some other good news for the Steelers, though, ian they
Speaker 18: expect to have Alex high Smith back. He's missed three
Speaker 18: games with that ankle injury. But the drama is probably
Speaker 18: coming to a boil on Pittsburgh Sunday.
Speaker 3: Not that I want you standing out there in the
Speaker 3: snow on game day morning covering that game. I'm just
Speaker 3: saying the visual it's better than you standing out there
Speaker 3: just regular cold. Anyway, both of these quarterbacks on a
Speaker 3: little bit of a hot streak, a little bit of
Speaker 3: a heater.
Speaker 4: Both these offenses in general.
Speaker 3: What should we expect of these offenses?
Speaker 4: What do they want to do on Sunday?
Speaker 18: Well, if you look at the numbers that Russell Wilson's
Speaker 18: and Jameis Winston put up last week combined, they threw
Speaker 18: for over nine hundred yards seven touchdowns.
Speaker 14: Let's start with the Steelers side of things.
Speaker 18: Russell Wilson obviously having a fantastic season for the Steelers,
Speaker 18: he said, so much of what they've been able to
Speaker 18: do on offense is the versatility he has, and he
Speaker 18: talked about how successful they've been at the line of
Speaker 18: scrimmage this week, he said, being able to check plays,
Speaker 18: to call audibles.
Speaker 14: He said, those are some of the things that they
Speaker 14: have been really good at.
Speaker 18: Making sure that they find themselves in the right situation,
Speaker 18: which they have been plenty of times this season. On
Speaker 18: the flip side of things, James Winston had huge numbers.
Speaker 18: He had four passing touchdownps, but he also had three interceptions.
Speaker 14: Two of them were picked sixes.
Speaker 18: Longtime Cleveland lyman Joel buttonio I talked to him today
Speaker 18: and he said that Jamis has really been very good
Speaker 18: energy for them. But he also said they got the
Speaker 18: full Jamis experience last week, and what.
Speaker 14: He means by that is the highs, the lows, and
Speaker 14: then of course the Jamis viral equips where he asked some.
Speaker 18: Help from above to deliver him from those pick sixes.
Speaker 18: On a more serious note, though, this week jay I
Speaker 18: always provides a great quote on Morcius.
Speaker 14: Note this week he said the team.
Speaker 18: Model, however, is to be smart, not conservative. He said,
Speaker 18: you can't go into a game worrying about the turnovers.
Speaker 18: Betonio said that the good thing about Jamis is he
Speaker 18: has this memory that he remembers things, but he says
Speaker 18: it's so short term.
Speaker 14: He goes, I'm not even sure if he remembers storing
Speaker 14: the pick sixers right after he throws him.
Speaker 18: Because he's a guy that just moves on, takes accountability,
Speaker 18: and they thrive. Got that energy he brings, so we'll
Speaker 18: see what he can bring into Pittsburgh's place on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Ian when I had a beagel little Molly, she was
Speaker 3: just like that and then twenty minutes later be like,
Speaker 3: did I eat then go eat again? Certainly helps James
Speaker 3: my dog twice yesterday, why as he has the last
Speaker 3: couple of weeks.
Speaker 14: I bet my dog twice yesterday and he looked just
Speaker 14: as sake.
Speaker 18: Yeah, and he runs over there. And then I got
Speaker 18: in trouble because I didn't know. I'm sorry, we just
Speaker 18: digressed into a dog conversation. It just made me remember
Speaker 18: I got in trouble for that yesterday. Short term memory.
Speaker 4: This is what the viewers are here for.
Speaker 2: Sarah.
Speaker 4: Let's talk more offline about your dog. Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Enjoy that game.
Speaker 3: Enjoyed the Steelers, who, by the way, are going to
Speaker 3: be playing on Christmas Day against the Chiefs on Netflix.
Speaker 3: A lot of reasons to watch Netflix on Christmas Day,
Speaker 3: A lot of reasons Ravens Texans as well, nothing but
Speaker 3: great games. I'm just saying that is going to be
Speaker 3: an awesome broadcast all together. Meanwhile, for the San Francisco
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers. I mean, how could I possibly talk
Speaker 3: about Kyle Shanahan being on the hot seat. I know
Speaker 3: it's been a struggle, but how in the world will
Speaker 3: be using Shanahan and hot seat in the same set.
Speaker 3: The only way you could find out is by continuing
Speaker 3: to watch the last six minutes of The Insiders.
Speaker 4: Anyway, keep watching.
Speaker 1: Challenging season for the forty nine ers, a whole lot
Speaker 1: of injuries, more losses than wins. When it comes to
Speaker 1: the future of coach Kyle Shanahan, is there even a
Speaker 1: story here?
Speaker 19: John Lynch, I've found the whole discussion on Kyle, and
Speaker 19: you know, like some of the stuff rather comical.
Speaker 8: I mean, we have won for the last.
Speaker 19: Division, for the last five division championships.
Speaker 8: We've been in two Super Bowls.
Speaker 19: Look, the standard here is to win championships and we've
Speaker 19: fallen short of that. I understand, But we have an
Speaker 19: excellent head coach and the fact people are talking about
Speaker 19: stuff like that, you know, I do find it comical.
Speaker 19: We're one hundred percent behind Kyle and what he brings
