1 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: We are less than twenty four hours away from kickoff, 2 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: and our guys Brian Bowdier and Adam Rank will be 3 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: here to tell you who could be the game changers 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: on wild card weekend. Bill Belichick remains the head coach 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: at the University of North Carolina for now, but the 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: possibility of an NFL return Lingers. One of his former players, 7 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: joins us with some interesting thoughts on his former coach, 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: who once traded him away. Meanwhile, more bad news for 9 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: de Shawn Watson, who tore's achilles again and that was 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: in jeopardy of missing the entire twenty twenty five season. 11 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: So what does that mean for the. 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: Browns plans to add a quarterback, perhaps with the number 13 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: two overall pick. We will tell you the latest from Cleveland, 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: and yes we're talking about playoffs. Welcome inside with the 15 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: insiders alongside Mike Garafolo. I am Tom Pelisero. We are 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: thirty days away from Super Bowl fifty nine. We are 17 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: just one day away from the start of the playoffs. 18 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: Fourteen teams still alive, two guys in plaid shirts, and 19 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: we've only got one hour to talk about every bit 20 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: of it. 21 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: Let's start out in court Phiadelphia Ware. 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: Yes, the Eagles will have Jalen Hurts back in the lineup. 23 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: He officially has cleared the concussion protocol off the injury report. 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: Of course, missed the tail end of the regular season. 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: That gave him extra time to get through all these steps. 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: Final clearance by an independent neurologist has come. Jalen Hurts 27 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: is gonna be out there good to go Sunday against 28 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: the Packers, and he's gonna have some help Mike. 29 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: He is. 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 4: Although Aj Brown and Devonte Smith both this practice this week. 31 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 4: Aj Brown on Thursday, DeVante Smith on Friday. The knee 32 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: for aj Brown something that he's been managing, going to 33 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 4: have to continue to manage, obviously as long as the 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 4: Eagles are alive here. 35 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: As for Smith, the backslash rest, well, I. 36 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 4: Mean yeah, they're resting him because he's got the back 37 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 4: and also give him a little rest. He's got a 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 4: back issue. But he is expected to play after not 39 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 4: practicing on Friday. So we'll see how both of those 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 4: two receivers fair. We'll see how Jordan Love Bears as well. 41 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 4: After that little funny bone incident on Sunday, practice fully 42 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 4: for the second straight day. 43 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: He was limited the day before that. 44 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 4: But full practice is expected to go against the Eagles, 45 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: Matt Lafleur indicating that Love had a good practice on Friday, 46 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 4: so the expectation is that he's a full go, ready 47 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 4: to go, ready to rock. 48 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: Some others not so lucky for wild card weekend. Big 49 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: loss for the Ravens wide receivers. A Flowers out because 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: of that knee injury. Minor sanding is he's got at 51 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: least a chance if they win, to be back for 52 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: the divisional playoff week. You see several Chargers on that list. 53 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: Josh Palmer out once again because of the heel, JK. Dobbins, 54 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: Quinin Johnson both listed as questionable. I get the sense 55 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: both those guys more than likely we'll go. We'll find 56 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: out for sure prior to kickoff on Saturday against the Texans. Also, 57 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: Kate Gotten questionable for the Buck So is Atrooin Winfield 58 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: Junior their safety. But it does sound like a cord 59 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: to Todd Bowles he. 60 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: Is going to be good to go. 61 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: The Browns, of course, have been eliminated for almost as 62 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: long as Deshaun Watson has been off the field once again, 63 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: first tore his achilles tend and back on October twentieth 64 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: at surgery. Five days later, now earlier today, the Browns 65 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: announcing Watson retore his achilles tendon after complaining of discomfort 66 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: in his ankle after rolling it down in Miami. They 67 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: did additional exams after his end of year physical discovered 68 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: the retear doctor Robert Anderson, one of the leading specials 69 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: in the country. 70 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: Repaired it. 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: But this is, Mike, the continuation of a unbelievable in 72 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: many senses several years for Deshaun Watson, a guy the 73 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: Browns gave up so much for, and now not only 74 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: has he not played up to the money and the 75 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: draft picks they gave up. What possibly twenty twenty five 76 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: is going to end up being a wash as well. 77 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: Well, we're coming up on the home stretch here, I guess, 78 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: well the last year wud be the home stretch. This 79 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 4: is the far turn. Maybe I don't know. Ian's not here, 80 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 4: he's our horse racing guy. The point is we're coming 81 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: toward the end of this contract here, and if he 82 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: doesn't play, yeah, that would leave one more season for 83 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 4: him on the field for which he is under contract. 84 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: And this opens up a couple of things. 85 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 4: One we already knew from a potential veterans standpoint and 86 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: free agency that the Browns were going to add some 87 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 4: competition in the room for Deshaun Watson. This only seemingly 88 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 4: further cements it. And then you've got the fact that 89 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 4: they're holding the second pick in the draft here with 90 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: the Titans at number one, who could use some quarterback 91 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 4: help as well. It's looking like quarterback quarterback. And then 92 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 4: with the Giants at three, potentially quarterback quarterback quarterback in 93 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 4: the draft here coming up here, and maybe they, you know, 94 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: one of these teams says, you know what, we're not 95 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 4: enamored with these quarterbacks. You can come up to our 96 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 4: spot if you want to trade up to ensure yourself 97 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: on we'll see. 98 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: But this just opens it up. 99 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 4: If you're behind the Browns and the draft order, like 100 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 4: the Giants, and you need a quarterback, this doesn't help 101 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 4: you in that regard because you would think that the 102 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: Browns are going to start looking at more long term 103 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: solution other than Deshaun Watson has not played up to 104 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 4: that contract and now as a major health issue heading 105 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: into twenty five the Sean. 106 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Watson has played a grand total of nineteen games in 107 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: a Browns uniform since being acquired. For all those draft 108 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: picks getting the fully guaranteed contracts still do forty six 109 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: million fully guaranteed in twenty twenty five, another forty six 110 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: million fully guaranteed in twenty twenty six. Lebrowns do have 111 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: an insurance policy on most of that money for twenty 112 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: twenty five, so potentially some cash and cap relief if 113 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: this goes the direction that it seems like it most 114 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: likely will. We also have questions about another non playoff team, 115 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: and that is the Dallas Cowboys, who are very quickly 116 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: coming up on the deadline at which Mike McCarthy's contract 117 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: would expire and he would be able to join another team. 118 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: As I reported this morning, they spent several days discussing 119 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four season and the future. At this point, 120 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy are both open to moving 121 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: forward together and the expectation was here over these next 122 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: couple of days that they are going to open up 123 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: talks on a contract extension and see if they can 124 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: get a deal done to keep him in Dallas. If not, 125 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to have to look for a replacement, 126 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: and you have to say based on what McCarthy has 127 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: done in the regular season. There's a lot of reasons 128 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: that makes sense for Jerry Jones to want to see 129 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: this through. Dak Prescott played the best football that he 130 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: has Mike last year in his first year with Mike 131 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: McCarthy calling the place. Twenty twenty four was a mess 132 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: for a variety of different reasons here, but you understand 133 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: why Mike McCarthy. 134 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: Also, if it does come to next Tuesday and they don't. 135 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: Have the contract done, he is going to have interest 136 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: elsewhere because there just aren't many candidates. 137 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: With a track record like he has. 138 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: If you're the Cowboys and you want to get this, 139 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 4: like why would you even wait until then? That gives 140 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 4: your guy that you're negotiating with that much more leverage, Like, 141 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: if you want to get this done, it's enough time 142 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 4: to get it done. Coaching contracts are relatively simple. It's 143 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 4: just a matter of agreeing on the number here. So look, 144 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 4: they've spoken highly about Mike McCarthy. Everybody has players, coaches, personnel. 145 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 4: They blocked the Bear's request to talk to him, which 146 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: they can do up until that Tuesday date, tom that 147 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 4: you're talking about, and they haven't interviewed anybody else themselves, 148 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 4: which they could conceivably do as well. So yeah, I 149 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 4: would think at this point that everything's pointing toward Mike 150 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 4: McCarthy returning, uh, and these sides trying to get this 151 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 4: done over the next couple of days. It's just a 152 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 4: matter of, as we say often, you know these deadlines. 153 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: You got to take it up to that deadline for 154 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 4: both sides to feel like they've maximized their leverage on 155 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: this one. But again, if I'm the Cowboys, I try 156 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 4: to get this thing done well before Tuesday. 157 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: When it comes to money matters. 158 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones has shown that he has no problem waiting 159 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: until the last possible second, But there's reasons for everybody 160 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: to have urgency. The whole coaching staff also has their 161 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: contracts up. Mike McCarthy at some point is going to 162 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: need to put together a staff to try to move 163 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: forward here. 164 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: So a lot of. 165 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 5: Movies were up the other days from what I saw it, 166 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 5: If yeah, sorry, if if Jerry has to get a 167 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 5: new coach. He's also missing on opportunities to interview the 168 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 5: guys who were on buys this week, So stay tuned 169 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 5: for the latest odd of Dallas at this point.

Baldy, let's talk 201 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: game changers. Who's a game. 202 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: Changer here for these wildcard games? 203 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 3: Tom? 204 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 6: When I got this assignment, I said it to myself, 205 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 6: I'm not going to overthink this. I'm not going to 206 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 6: try to get cute. I'm not going to try to 207 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 6: outdo Rank over here. I'm just gonna give it to 208 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 6: you straight. Like I think Saquon Barkley, I think it's 209 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 6: good enough to know that he's a game changer, right. 210 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 6: I mean, I was there in Sam Paulo for that 211 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 6: first game when he went twenty four carries for one 212 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 6: oh nine. He scored three touchdowns, including a passing touchdowns. 213 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 6: Little weed to know that that would be the first 214 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 6: of eleven one hundred plus yard rushing days for Saquon. 215 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 6: I don't know just the timing and the rhythm that 216 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts will be in the passing game this week 217 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 6: after missing so much time, But I know this, I 218 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 6: know the rhythm that Saquan has with his offensive line 219 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 6: is pretty darn good, and I think it's going to 220 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 6: be good on Sunday afternoon against the Packers. 221 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 7: I love that pick, Baldy, Listen, I'm like you. I 222 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 7: thought about Saquon Barkley. I was thinking about my fantasy team. 223 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 7: Saquon Barkley was on a number of my championship teams. 224 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 7: And another guy who was big for me this year 225 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 7: was Ladd mccaukey of the La Charges. Now, obviously the 226 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 7: Chargers traded away Keenan Allen to the Bears. They allowed 227 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 7: Mike Williams to leave in free agency, and Ladd has 228 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 7: done a tremendous job in his rookie season. He's had 229 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 7: at least fifty receiving yards in each of the last 230 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 7: ten games this year, the longest streak by a rookie 231 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 7: not drafted in the first round ever. Obviously, Milik Naghbors 232 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 7: also did it, but he was a first rounder. Slot 233 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 7: receivers have traditionally flourished in Greg Roman's offense, and Ladd 234 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 7: has done just that. And he's got a pretty good 235 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 7: matchup this week against the Houston Texas. Now, the Texans 236 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 7: have allowed just a fifty seven percent completion percentage the 237 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 7: slot receivers this season. They've created nine interceptions to slot receivers. However, 238 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 7: they've allowed fourteen touchdowns to slot receivers this year. An 239 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 7: important note if you're looking for a guy who could 240 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 7: score a touchdown at any moment, so. 241 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: To speak, Paudy, I know you love you love one 242 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: thing more than game changers. That's game wreckerds. Give me 243 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: one of those four wild card weekend. 244 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 8: Well, and this one I did think a great deal 245 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 8: about it. 246 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 6: You know, von Miller is going to start his fourteenth 247 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 6: playoff game in his illustrious career, and we've seen him 248 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 6: wreck super Bowl games. In many of playoff games and 249 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 6: while he's sort of flown under the radar, he does 250 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 6: have six sacks this year. And I just was around 251 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 6: him a lot this offseason at the Sack Summit up 252 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 6: a training camp. 253 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 8: Like he knows how to close out a game. 254 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: He is an official closer. 255 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 8: We've seen him to do that in two Super Bowl games. 256 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 6: I think he's living for this moment, and I think 257 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 6: he wants to put Denver to sleep, put them away, 258 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 6: and move on to these playoffs. I'm looking for von 259 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 6: Miller to come up and play big, especially in the 260 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 6: biggest moments of this game. 261 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 7: I think we're at pretty simpatico on this one because 262 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 7: I love that pick. And you know what it's funny 263 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 7: is I was at Super Bowl forty eight, I was 264 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 7: at Super Bowl fifty. The biggest difference for the Broncos 265 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 7: in those two games was the defense, which is why 266 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 7: right now I'm looking at the Broncos defense and I'm 267 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 7: gonna look at Zach Allen. Now, obviously they've got some 268 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 7: great players. They have three three first team All pros 269 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 7: on this team, five all together, Patrick Sartin, Nick Bonito. 270 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 7: But Zach Allen led the NFL with forty quarterback hits 271 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 7: this year the most sense Nick Bosa in twenty twenty two. 272 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 7: He is an elite company. The only other guys who've 273 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 7: had forty hits on a quarterback were of course Bosa, 274 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 7: JJ Watt who did it four times, TJ Watt, and 275 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 7: of course Aaron Donald. Zack also had a career high 276 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 7: eight and a half sacks fifteen tackles for loss. He 277 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 7: also led all defensive tackles with sixty seven pressures on 278 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 7: a quarterback according to our next Gen stats and listen, 279 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 7: the Broncos were the only team that had three different 280 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 7: guys get twenty pressures on the quarterback. Defense travels in 281 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 7: the playoffs. So if you're upset minded, I look at 282 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 7: this Broncos defense, and I'm picking the Broncos to up 283 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 7: set the Bills in this one. 284 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 6: Of course, the nickname four Ustill love the Jack Allen 285 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 6: is baby Jon baby jj w I mean, he's been 286 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 6: living with that for a long time. 287 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 8: He seems okay with that. 288 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: He's he looks That's what I'm about to say, physically, 289 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: like the huge elbow brace. Obviously, the number like he's 290 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: actually looks like it's some type of a play action 291 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: type of a Jamaldi rank enjoy these games this weekend. 292 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 8: Mike. 293 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, the game start on Tomorrow at four thirty pm 294 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 4: Eastern on CBS eight pm Prime Video Thursday on a Saturday, 295 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 4: basically with our Prime video folks. 296 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 3: Uh. 297 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: The Texans at home in more ways than one, their 298 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 4: home in Houston and also right in that four thirty 299 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 4: slot that they're so used to playing on Wildcard Weekend 300 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 4: over the years.

We're going to start with that first 307 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: one and talk about Jim Harball. You know, I'm talking 308 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 4: to people about this coach hiring cycle this year, and 309 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 4: they're like, there's no Jim Harball. There's no guy that's 310 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 4: going to come in and you know for sure you 311 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 4: are going to be a playoff contender immediately, if not 312 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 4: in the playoffs. We've seen the impact of Jim Harball. 313 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 4: What kind of impact has he had on the Chargers 314 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 4: overall this season. 315 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 9: I've seen this movie before, Mike. I saw it at Michigan. 316 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 9: It's my alma mater. I saw it if the Sam 317 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 9: Francisco forty nine Ers when he was there. He has 318 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 9: a way of coming in and connecting with his players 319 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 9: immediately and getting them to buy in. That's the best 320 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 9: thing the Chargers have going for them going into this 321 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 9: playoff game with the Texans. They really believe in what 322 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 9: Jim Harbaugh is preaching and they've seen the results of it. 323 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 9: Limiting turnovers, taking care of the football, limiting penalties, running 324 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 9: the football, playing great defense. 325 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 10: That's the formula and it travels well in the postseason. 326 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 9: So I really like their chances of doing big things 327 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 9: in this postseason. On the flip side of this, the 328 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 9: Houston Texans are a team that does not want to 329 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 9: see the Chargers right now because they've been limping into 330 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 9: the postseason, scoring nineteen points against the Chiefs and the 331 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 9: Ravens in their last two wingless games, and really had 332 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 9: a hard time protecting CJ. Shroud all season long, fifty 333 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 9: four sacks given up. 334 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 10: That's fourth in the NFL. 335 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 9: He's without Tank Dell Stefan dis I just don't see 336 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 9: how the Texans end up winning this game against the 337 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 9: Chargers team that's really riding high right now. 338 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 4: All right, Jeffrey Jdia making his call on that game. 339 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 4: So let's slip to the next game on Saturday night. 340 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 4: Steelers Ravens, two teams that obviously know a bunch about 341 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 4: each other. Steelers got to get some stuff together here, 342 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 4: particularly at the quarterback position, if they're going to have 343 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 4: a shot in this game. Your thought on this matchup 344 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 4: of two AFC North rivals, You. 345 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 9: Know, I was really high on Russell Wilson and what 346 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 9: he brought to that team when he got into the 347 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 9: starting lineup, and you saw the immediate impact. 348 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 10: But man, the last five games, this team has really 349 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 10: gone south. 350 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 9: They've only scored fifty seven points in their last four games, 351 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 9: lost the Ravens, the Eagles, the Chiefs, the Bengals, and 352 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 9: Russell Wilson. I mean, you thought when George Pickens came 353 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 9: back in the lineup things were going to get better 354 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 9: after he had that hamstring injury, and it's gotten worse. 355 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 9: So I don't really know again how they're going to 356 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 9: be able to deal with what they've got to go 357 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 9: up against, what their Baltimore Ravens. Even with the success 358 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 9: they've had against Baltimore and for Baltimore, you look at 359 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 9: what they're doing. 360 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 10: They're in a great position right now with where their 361 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 10: defenses come around. 362 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 9: Justin Ticker's not Justin Tucker's not missing kicks anymore, but 363 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 9: Lamar Jackson. 364 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 10: It's the heck of a road. 365 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 9: He's gonna have to go through a team that's had 366 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 9: his number in the Steelers, and then he's gonna have 367 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 9: to deal with probably Josh Allen and then Patrick Mahoons 368 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 9: if he gets that part of the ASC Championship game. 369 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 9: He is two and four in the playoffs. We all 370 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 9: know the stats. He's an MVP cann for a reason. 371 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 9: But I'll tell you what, this is gonna be a 372 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 9: harder road as he's ever had in the postseason. 373 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: I think you call them Justin Ticker? Is that what 374 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 2: you call them? 375 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 8: Tucker back? 376 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, It's okay. 377 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 4: There have been worse slip ups when it comes to 378 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 4: Justin Tucker. On this very program, John pellis, Oh, are 379 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 4: you listening. We'll get to him after the break.

I'm gonna say we're gonna hear 405 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: the Bills won a little bit more than the Broncos, 406 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: at least leading up to this weekend's game. 407 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pella Sero. 408 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: Joined by our guy Cameron Wolf, who will be at 409 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: that game in Orchard Park Camp. Josh Allen and the Bills, 410 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: even though it appears based on the All Pro voting today, 411 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be the MVP of the league. He's 412 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: certainly been the MVP of the Bills with that remodeled 413 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: receiving corps. What's the key for number seventeen to take 414 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: over this game? 415 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 2: Tom? 416 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 11: The Bills are always led by Josh Allen, but this 417 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 11: year has felt differently. And you mentioned the All Pro vote. 418 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 11: I've got a feeling there will be some extra motivation 419 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 11: from Josh Allen and the Bills to prove people wrong. 420 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 11: No All Pro vote for a team that went fourteen 421 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 11: and three and really overcame a lot of foster turnover. 422 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 11: And I thought it was interesting talking to Bill general 423 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 11: manager Brandon Bean this week about the evolution of Josh 424 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 11: Allen and he said the big thing for him was 425 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 11: not playing hero ball in a level that he was 426 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 11: in previous seasons. And when you look at the numbers, 427 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 11: it really sells at home. The Bills are the first 428 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 11: team in the Super Bowl Era to allow fewer than 429 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 11: fifteen sacks and fewer than fifteen giveaways. 430 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: They are just not making mistakes. 431 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 10: And that's the matchup. 432 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 11: I can't wait in this game to see how Josh 433 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 11: Allen and that elite Bills offensive line goes against an 434 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 11: elite Broncos defensive front. The Broncos lead the NFL in 435 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 11: sacks by far. Van Joseph has that group playing really well. 436 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 11: Zach Allen, Nick Benito, and that group is going to 437 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 11: try to get out of Josh. Get that after Josh Allen. 438 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 11: I talked to Zach Allen, the Broncos defensive tackle this week, 439 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 11: and he said, when we beat them last year, we 440 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 11: didn't have any sacks, but we got a lot of 441 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 11: pressure kept Josh into the pocket. That's going to be 442 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 11: our game plan. It's not always that first two or 443 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 11: three seconds. It's how do we minimize his ability to 444 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 11: make plays outside the huddle. 445 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 2: And that'll be the Broncos' best chance to try to 446 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 2: pull out the upset against the Buffalo Bills. 447 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: On the flip side of this bow, Knicks has been 448 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: one of the great stories in the NFL this season. 449 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: The sixth quarterback taken in the draft he is one 450 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: of just two that's going to be starting a game 451 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: here as we get into the postseason. So how do 452 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: the Broncos hopes play out here? For bow Knicks to 453 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: do enough for them to poll will be a pretty 454 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: big upset on the road. 455 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, the big thing for bow Knicks is even though 456 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 11: he's a rookie, he doesn't play with that type of 457 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 11: rookie spear. 458 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 2: He has a lot of starts in college. 459 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 11: And Zach Allen said, a lot of people around the 460 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 11: Saints building who are now with the Broncos compare him 461 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 11: to Drew Brees with his ability to have the poise 462 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 11: in and outside the pocket, and they say that type 463 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 11: of leadership is why they have confidence that their time 464 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 11: is now. They're a young team. They feel like they're 465 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 11: building towards many years of competing. But they don't think 466 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 11: this is just Hey, this is our playoff run. 467 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: Be happy for it. 468 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 11: They think they can make some noise in bo Nix's 469 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 11: playmaking ability is what they think can really call some 470 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 11: issues from a Bill's defense that has had some up 471 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 11: and down issues this year. And I talked to Von 472 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 11: Miller this week about bo Nicks and he mentioned the 473 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 11: fact that bo Nix's bab best skill set is that 474 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 11: he doesn't have any limitations. He doesn't know what he 475 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 11: doesn't know, and so he can throw the ball eighty 476 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 11: yards with no fear. He can also run an RPO 477 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 11: or run somebody over. And the unknown is what the 478 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 11: Bills are watching this week from the Broncos. What comes 479 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 11: out of Sean Payton's bag this week? As this team 480 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 11: is playing loose, they're playing fun, they're playing well. This 481 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 11: is their first playoff game since twenty fifteen, oddly enough, 482 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 11: where von Miller won Super Bowl MVP for that team. 483 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 11: And Patrick Sartan, who keeps a really good relation to 484 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 11: with von Miller, told him this week, our time is now. 485 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,479 Speaker 11: You guys had your time in Denver. It's our time now. 486 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: The Broncos had to beat the Chiefs backups last weekend 487 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: just to secure that final playoff spot. Upset the Bills 488 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Guess what the reward is going to Kansas City. 489 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: He played the starters for the Chiefs in the divisional 490 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: playoff round. 491 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: Cam have a lot of fun. Stay warm out there, buddy, Mike. 492 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 4: Tom new Today the injury report, the final injury report 493 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 4: for the Eagles Packers game, Jordan Love not on it. Well, 494 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 4: he's on it, but it's his participation, not his game status. 495 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 4: No game status, which means he is good to go 496 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 4: after his second straight full day of practice with that 497 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 4: right elbow, no funny business with that funny bone. He 498 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 4: is going to start and play against the Eagles. 499 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 10: So is this guy. 500 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 4: And maybe early in the week you were concerned by 501 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 4: the fact that he was still in the protocol. Nope, 502 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 4: out of the protocol. Today we tried to tell you 503 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 4: there's no rush to take a guy out of the 504 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 4: protocol until the end of the week. So that's where 505 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 4: we are. Jalen Hurts, just like Jordan Love, no status 506 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 4: for this game on Sunday, which means he's good to go. 507 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 2: Stacy Daniel's good to go. She's gonna be. 508 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 4: There covering this game for NFL Game Day Morning for 509 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: us on Sunday, Stace, let's talk about Jalen Hurts and 510 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 4: the possibility like there's maybe a little bit of rust, right, 511 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 4: but he's healthy. 512 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: He cleared the protocol, that's the good thing. Just hasn't 513 00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: played in a couple of weeks. 514 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, he's got the green light. 515 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 10: He's ready to go. 516 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 12: I think all things look very promising. I heard Baldy's 517 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 12: segment earlier, wondering, as you just pointed out, Mike, if 518 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 12: there'd be that russ because the concussion happened, by the way, 519 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 12: in the first quarter of their Week sixteen game against 520 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 12: the Commanders in that loss, so he's had quite a 521 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 12: bit of time, and by all counts, he is ready 522 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 12: to go. Because the folks I've talked to, including second 523 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 12: team All Pro Jordan my Lotta, what a season he 524 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 12: has had at that left tackle spot for these Eagles. 525 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 12: But he told me that the communication this week has 526 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 12: been even better than before Jalen Hurts had the concussion. 527 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 12: He said, he has looked fantastic in practice, and remember 528 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 12: they've been in pads this week, Mike. The hunger and fire, 529 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 12: he said, are very clear, and it is playoff Jalen time. 530 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 12: He told me, I said, what does that mean? He said, 531 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 12: he knows the stakes go up, but he keeps We've 532 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 12: heard him say the main thing, the main thing, but 533 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 12: he keeps things very. 534 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: Basic for his team. 535 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 12: The focus, though, is incredible, and it's certainly great when 536 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 12: you have a running back if you're Jalen Hurts like 537 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 12: sae Quon Barkley. I heard Baldy talk about would they 538 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 12: be ready to go? Absolutely, they'll be ready to go. 539 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 12: He has been nothing sure of special this season, but 540 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 12: his communication and vision with the offensive line just so good. 541 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 12: He is the focal point for Jeff Haffley's Packers defense. 542 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 12: If you listen to Jeff Haffley this week, he said, 543 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 12: you got to do it over defending him over and 544 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 12: over and over again, so locked in, ensued, so detailed 545 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 12: that you do it again and again and again. He's patient, 546 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 12: he sees it. He'll make you pay for it. That's 547 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 12: the focus for the Packers. And by the way, Mike, 548 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 12: you know this better than anybody. This Eagles team has 549 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 12: a massive chip on their shoulder after their exodus in 550 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 12: the playoffs last year to Tampa. They got blown out. 551 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 12: They remember that and they want to rectify it on 552 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 12: Sunday at home. 553 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 8: Yeah. 554 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,719 Speaker 2: Well, they throw the pads on now. 555 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 4: They've rested in week eighteen, so you throw the pads 556 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 4: on to get that feel again, to get that physicality again. 557 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: And that sounds like a team that expects to run 558 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 2: the ball, which is not a surprise. 559 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 8: That's what they do. 560 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 4: As for the other side and a team that does 561 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 4: have a good running back as well. Packers and Jordan 562 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 4: Love Love again full participate in the last two days. 563 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 2: What do they need to do on offense against this 564 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 2: Eagles team. 565 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 12: Well, they've got to clean it up. And thanks for 566 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 12: reminding us. Saquon sat out last week, so he should 567 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 12: be really ready to go. They've got to clean it up. 568 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 12: Jordan Love has even talked about is he's been dinged 569 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 12: up with that throwing arm. He got hit in the elbow. 570 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 12: It was very numb after the Bears game and that 571 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 12: loss where they had to take him out. So but 572 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 12: they've had back to back losses now against divisional opponents, 573 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 12: so they know each other a little bit better than 574 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 12: some other teams might. But the Vikings and the Bears, 575 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 12: Jordan has talked about and acknowledged the accuracy, the footwork, 576 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 12: the timing has to be better. They've got to get 577 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 12: on the same page with their receivers and they certainly 578 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 12: have to do it very quickly against the number one 579 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 12: defense in football, Vic Fangio's group in Philly, number one 580 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 12: total defense, number one pass defense. But by the way, 581 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 12: they're preparing for a fully healthy Jordan Love. They know 582 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 12: they'll try to run the ball. That's been their mo 583 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 12: as we watch it here on the b roll today. 584 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 12: But Fangio of the quarterback understanding he's always going to 585 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 12: go to the quarterback first, big arm, he could throw 586 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 12: to every part of the field. He does have movement 587 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 12: in the pocket, and he just executes what they do 588 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 12: so well, which Mike is the run game and it's 589 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 12: the play pass. So defending those two things, but they 590 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 12: are just something to handle. That Eagles defense up front, 591 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 12: in the middle and on the back end. Really good 592 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 12: group as they get ready to face a very hungry 593 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 12: Packers team in the Wildcard this weekend in Philly. 594 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 4: Thanks, one more question for you before I let you go. 595 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 4: Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe in the supernatural? 596 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 4: Because you mightn't want to look behind you when you 597 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 4: were talking earlier.

You think about Rabel, 661 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: going back to him as a player and what he 662 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 3: was for that organization. He's in the Patriots Hall of 663 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 3: Fame and then a lot of people though associate him 664 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: with this Belichick tree, but really he's branched out. He's 665 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 3: been under Urban Meyer at Ohio State, he was under 666 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 3: Billy O'Brien in Houston, and when you think and talk 667 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 3: to other players that have been around him, he's just 668 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 3: an exceptional coach. He's a player's coach. He's been there, 669 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 3: he understands what it takes to win. He did a 670 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 3: great job here in Tennessee, and it's unfortunate how it 671 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 3: ended here, but to have him come into that organization 672 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 3: and he would be able to stabilize it, and with 673 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 3: a young quarterback like Drake May, I think he'd do 674 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 3: an exceptional job. 675 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 8: And I know that the Kraft family would love to 676 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 8: have him come home. 677 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: You know, Matt, there's a lot of people who have 678 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: played with Mike Rabel, played for Mike Frabel, coached with 679 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: Mike Frable. There's only one guy I know of who's 680 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: been traded with Mike Rabel. Two thousand and nine, You're 681 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: coming off a remarkable season in New England in relief 682 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. You get the call you're being traded 683 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: with Rabel to the Chiefs. For a second, a pick 684 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: yous take me through that sequence of events and what 685 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: it was like in then one. It was a wild, 686 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: wild circumstances. 687 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: After the season, there was some uneasiness about Brady and 688 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 3: the recovery going on with his knees. So then all 689 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 3: of a sudden they franchised me. I was like, what 690 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 3: does that mean exactly? So I was on the franchise 691 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 3: tender there and then all of a sudden, out of 692 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 3: the blue, I'm sitting in the parking lot. I just 693 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 3: came out of the grocery store in California and I 694 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 3: get a phone call from Coach Belichick and I'm wondering 695 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 3: what this is about. Well, I got traded to Kansas City, 696 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 3: and at first I didn't say anything about Brabell. He's like, look, 697 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 3: you're going to Kansas City. We've made the trade. We 698 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 3: want to thank you for everything you did. And then 699 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 3: minutes later I get a phone call from Brabel and 700 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 3: start to understand he's coming with me, and Brabel's my. 701 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 8: Boy, so I was like, yes, this is going to 702 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 8: be great. 703 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 3: I don't know if he was excited as I was 704 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 3: about the trade, but ended up being neighbors right there 705 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 3: in Kansas City, lived literally two houses down from one 706 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 3: another and still have a great relationship to this day. 707 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 8: And I was it actually put me at ease when 708 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 8: I went to. 709 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 3: Kansas City and made that transition, to have not only 710 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 3: a friend, but a guy like Brabel who's a leader, 711 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 3: to come into that organization and help try to rebuild 712 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 3: that place. 713 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 4: You know, as I see this and you hear this, 714 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,479 Speaker 4: and you think about the juxtaposition of you playing alongside him, 715 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 4: getting traded with him, and you see a lot of 716 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 4: the former quarterbacks that were in the league now making 717 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 4: their way up the coaching ranks. You ever get that itch, 718 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 4: Do you ever ever feel like, you know what, I 719 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 4: could be a coach in the NFL and start climbing 720 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 4: these ranks quickly because you're. 721 00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 2: Clearly no ball. 722 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 3: I one hundred percent would love to do it. I 723 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 3: just believe that it's not just the time commitment during 724 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 3: the week, but it's also the coaching profession itself is 725 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 3: so volatile from one year to the next. And I've 726 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 3: got five children from a freshman in high school down 727 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 3: to a kindergartener, and I just wouldn't want to put 728 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 3: them in that position to where, hey, honey, this year, 729 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 3: we're in Philly. 730 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 8: Next year we might be at the RAM, whatever it 731 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 8: might be. 732 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 3: And that was the difficult part for me, because as 733 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 3: a player and somebody that loves the game and loves 734 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 3: to not only teach the game, but also would love 735 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 3: to coach the game, that part is always appealing to me. 736 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 3: But then the other aspects of it and the lifestyle 737 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 3: for your family, which they went through fourteen years of 738 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 3: my NFL career and we moved around a lot. At 739 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 3: the end of my career, it would be difficult to say, Hey, 740 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 3: we're going to go back into this thing again. 741 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes a coach can spend fifty years in 742 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: the NFL, half of those in one place, and then 743 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: pop up at seventy three years old at college in 744 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: North Carolina. You know, sometimes weird things happen in the 745 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: coaching profession. Are are you a believer? Number one, the 746 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is actually going to coach at North Carolina 747 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: before an NFL team comes called Number two, that he 748 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: can succeed coaching college ball. 749 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 8: Oh, there's no doubt that he can succeed. 750 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 3: And that's the thing about coach Belichick is he wouldn't 751 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 3: do anything where he's just dipping his toe in the water. 752 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 3: He's going to go there and try to be dominant. 753 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 3: I think he's in the right division there in the ACC. 754 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 3: He's a guy that's going to give it it's all. 755 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 3: And it'll be interesting because just imagine as an eighteen sixteen, 756 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 3: seventeen eighteen year old kid, Coach Belichick, the greatest coach 757 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 3: of all time, walks into your living room. I mean, 758 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 3: the recruiting process will work just on namesake, and he'll 759 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 3: be able to bring guys in and develop them and 760 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 3: put them in a position to get to ultimately where 761 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 3: they want to be, which is the NFL, and he 762 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 3: knows how to do that. Now, the longevity of how 763 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 3: long he's at UNC will be interesting to me because 764 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 3: I think that he still wants to coach, and there's 765 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 3: going to be suitors out there in the NFL that say, 766 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 3: need to give this guy another shot, because I mean, 767 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 3: he's coach Belichick and he's unbelievable at what he does. 768 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 4: I think about your podcast with Bobby Bones lots to say, 769 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 4: and I'd say, can you get Belichick on the pot, 770 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 4: like that'd be a great get, But the. 771 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 2: Guy is everywhere anymore.

I was at practice yesterday and we 835 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 13: were interviewing Sean McVay and other than some added wind, 836 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 13: it felt like a normal day in Woodland Hills. But 837 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 13: then you kind of turned you see it right here, 838 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 13: that was behind the facility, kind of off to the 839 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 13: side of the practice field, all that smoke coming in. 840 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 13: The RAMS players shortly after that did take the field. 841 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 13: We were told that that was, you know, the departments 842 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 13: putting out a fire. It was nothing new, so you 843 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 13: thought at that point, okay. And then after practice we 844 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 13: walked out of the front of the facility and a 845 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 13: completely different fire had erupted. That was the kindeth fire 846 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 13: that you just talked about, and some of the family members, 847 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 13: staffers from the RAMS organization actually had to evacuate their home. 848 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 13: So at that point it felt like, how are they 849 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 13: going to play this game in Los Angeles and Kevin 850 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 13: Demoff spoke to reporters today about the decision to move 851 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 13: the games, saying it came down to whether or not 852 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 13: they could adequately staff the game in terms of local 853 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 13: public safety officials and firefighters that we know have been 854 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 13: working around the clock. He said it actually was a 855 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 13: conversation before that Kenneth Bier broke out talking to fire 856 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 13: chiefs and public officials, hearing that they were going through 857 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 13: so much. He said, you could hear it in their voices, 858 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 13: and they just knew at that moment that the best 859 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 13: thing for everybody would be to move the game. Of course, 860 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 13: he's done an incredible job on social media on x 861 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 13: trying to arrange buses. You saw that the Cronkey family 862 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 13: is donating a million dollars, so they're trying to do 863 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 13: everything possible. But he just, you know, he went on 864 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 13: to say, this is bigger than football, and it's one 865 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 13: of those things that nobody wants to be in this situation, 866 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 13: but they felt like that was the right decision. 867 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: Tom an extraordinary situation for everybody involved with it here, 868 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: including the quarterback Matthew Stafford, who talked yesterday about the 869 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: fact that they always play for LA and This is 870 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 1: another example of it. They're in the playoffs for the 871 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: third time in Stafford's four seasons. How was he embracing 872 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: this moment under tough circumstances. 873 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 13: He's embracing it. 874 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 10: Tom. 875 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 13: You talk about him being in the third playoffs in 876 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 13: four years with the Rams, Well, when he was with 877 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 13: the Lions, he played twelve seasons there, only made it 878 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 13: to the playoffs three times. He talked about, you, you 879 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 13: don't know when these playoffs are going to come, like, 880 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 13: you have to take every opportunity you get and run 881 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 13: with it. It was their Week eight matchup that kind 882 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,959 Speaker 13: of turned their season around. It's funny that we're talking 883 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 13: about the Rams hosting a wild card game, obviously now 884 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 13: hosting it in Arizona, because in the beginning of the 885 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 13: season that wasn't the case. Matthew Stafford had just three 886 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 13: touchdown passes going into that Week eight matchup against the Vikings. 887 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 13: It was that game where he threw four touchdown passes. 888 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 13: Things haven't gone great for him the end of the season. 889 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 13: He had three games where he threw for less than 890 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 13: two hundred yards. But Sean McVeigh I asked him about it. 891 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 13: I said, how do you get that back and he said, well, 892 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 13: Matthew Stafford, what he does best is shine in bright moments, 893 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 13: So they're hoping that his experience can kind of spark 894 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 13: this team. And with everything happening around the city of 895 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 13: Los Angeles, and I know there was like something up 896 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 13: in the locker room that you might talk about later 897 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 13: that's motivating them as well. So a lot of things 898 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 13: helping this team get extra fired up for Monday night. 899 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: Well, there is a spice to this matchup here. You 900 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: got Sean McVay against his old assistant Kevin O'Connell. They 901 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl together. Here you've also got a 902 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: comment made by another head coach, Dan Campbell, who was 903 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: on the hot mic the handshake after week eighteen. 904 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 2: He said, some lie lines I'll see you in two weeks. 905 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 2: That's been printed out. 906 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: It's in the RAMS locker room, and they have one 907 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: more reason to want to get this w more insiders 908 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 1: after this.
