1
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: The new regime in Miami is wasting no time hitting

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: the reset Buddy. We will break down today's wave of

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: cuts by the Dolphins, who officially have moved on from

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, and what it means for the rest of

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: a pivotal off season on South Beach. The franchise tag

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: window opens up on Tuesday, and some of the biggest

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: name would be free agents may not hit the market

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: after all. Mark joins US Tonight to take a deeper

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: look at some key decisions looming over the next two weeks.

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: For now, these Seahawks are still the Super Bowl champs

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: and their victory parade is not yet over. On this show,

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Derek Hall joins US Tonight to talk about the thrill

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: of winning a ring and how Seattle can run it back.

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: Welcome Inside with the Insiders alongside Judy Battista. I am

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: Tom Pellisero. If you're already sick by the way of

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 1: hearing about the Seahawks being the champs, if you are

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: sick of wake picking up late at night having nightmares

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: about how your team season ended, I've got very good

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: news for you. The free agent negotiating window begins three

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: weeks from today. So many moves so close for your

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: team and the other thirty one and the Dolphins already

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: getting down to business. They got things started early this

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: morning by making several cuts, including their eight time Pro

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: Bowl wide receiver Tyreek kill This was an inevitable move

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: that takes his thirty six million dollars in cash off

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: the books in twenty twenty six at a time the

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Tyreek is recovering from that serious leg injury and it's

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: unclear when or even if he'll be ready to play

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. If he does, it will not

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: be in Miami. Tyreek now officially is a free agent.

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: The Dolphins also plan to release their veteran pass rusher

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb. That move not yet official. Miami could potentially

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: wait to formally release Chubb until March eleventh, allowing them

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: to free up more cap space this season. Guard James Daniels,

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver Nick Westbrook Akini we also officially released. It

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: is a new day in Miami. Not a surprise, but

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: what do you feel this says about exactly what the

38
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins plan to accomplish here in the coming weeks.

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: Well, listen, they are hitting the reset button. They have

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: a new football brain trust. They want to be a

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: draft and develop kind of organization. They were in a

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: salary cap bind, and so this is what happens. This

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: team went for it with big time veterans at one point, right,

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: they gave up a lot of draft capital for Chubb

45
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: and for Tyreek Hill, and they got no return in

46
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: playoff wins out of that. Now you admire the spirit

47
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: of going for it. The problem was they didn't have

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: the quarterback situation nailed down the way they thought they

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: had it nailed down with Tua, and so now they

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: rip it up and start over. And this is what happens.

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: And especially in the case of Tyreek Hill, as you mentioned,

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: with a very serious knee injury, you don't even know

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: if he's going to play in twenty twenty six. He's

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: about to turn thirty two. These were inevitable moves for

55
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphin. It is the dawn of a new

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: day and it is a rebuild in Miami.

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: Speaking of Tua too, we talked about this on Super

58
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday. All signs are pointing toward Tua not returning

59
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: to Miami in twenty twenty six, despite the fact that

60
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: he is fully guaranteed fifty four million dollars this season.

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: Trade is a possibility, but it's complicated. A new team

62
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to pick up much of Tua's fifty four

63
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: million dollar salary. Also, that would cause about a forty

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: five million dollars dead cap charge to all accelerated and

65
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: hit their cap immediately. The cleaner option is probably releasing Tua.

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: It would be able to spread nearly one hundred million

67
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: dollars in dead cap over two seasons, would end up

68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: paying him probably fifty million dollars plus for him to

69
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: go play for the minimum someplace else. Either way, hard

70
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: to imagine at this point that Tua is returning to

71
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins' major changes and also a situation that leaves

72
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: them needed a new quarterback as they move forward, ty

73
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: also will need another number one wider seeming they got

74
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, but Tyreek Hill, who has been that guy

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: for so long, released officially today. He posted a lengthy

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: message on Instagram saying, in part that he will be

77
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: back on the field. The Cheetah will be back. Let's

78
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: welcome in r Mark Ross to talk a little bit

79
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: more about how things are playing out in Miami. Mark,

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: you always knew he got a new head coach, a

81
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: new general manager, inevitably they are going to be changes.

82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: It also seems like this speaks pretty strongly to how

83
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 1: this new regime felt about the roster that was in place,

84
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: and seems like we're just kind of getting started as

85
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: they were built things in Miami.

86
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, whenever you have either a new head

87
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: coach or a new GM, they want to do things

88
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: their way. And now you got both of those guys,

89
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: So of course they're looking at what has transpired there

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: in Miami, and as y'all mentioned, no playoff wins despite

91
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: these players that they have, and the Tyreek Hills of

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: the world, you know, no playoff wins. So when you're

93
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 3: looking at despite what he's done in the past, he's

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: got three things against it. He's old, he's injured, and

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: he's cost a lot of money. So when you're looking

96
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: at that as a new GM, as a new head coach,

97
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: you're saying, you know what, we can move forward without that,

98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: Let's bring in our own players, whether it.

99
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: Be free agency or the draft. Of course it's going

100
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: to be both.

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: So you're really looking at and talking to ownership saying

102
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: we're gonna bring in our own guys here. We're gonna

103
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: build this the way we want to build it. We're

104
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: gonna bring it with our personnel, with our people, so

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: that we can move forward and not be handicapped by

106
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: these contracts. Of course you're going to have to incur

107
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: some of that, but let's move on now as opposed

108
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: to later. So what you're seeing today from the Dolphins

109
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: is basically just that brain trust saying okay, with the

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: blessing of ownership, by the way, like this is the

111
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: way we're gonna build this thing in our image with

112
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: our guys, and we're gonna move forward from here, taking

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: the pain in the short term, allowing you, you would hope, if.

114
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: You're a Miami to get past that sooner than later

115
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: as you begin, as we've said, a full roster reset

116
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill free agent immediately. For anyone else schedule to

117
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: become a free agent, that'll happen on March eleventh. If

118
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: they don't end up getting tagged, the franchise in transition

119
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: tag window opens up tomorrow Tuesday at four pm Eastern time.

120
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: You're seeing Mark some of the players, including George Pickens,

121
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: we expect to get tagged who else is somebody you're

122
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: interested to see whether potentially they could be subject to

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: a game of tech.

124
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 4: Well, my guy, Kyle Pitts.

125
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: You know, you know, Kyle Pitt's coming out of the draft,

126
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: I thought he was the best tight end prospect that

127
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 3: I had scouted in a long time. You know, didn't

128
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: live up to those expectations his first four years, and

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: in last year had that breakout year, you know, a

130
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 3: couple of games where he just completely and absolutely took

131
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: over and showed why he.

132
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: Was taken where he was taken there.

133
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: But still, if you're Atlanta, you're saying, well, can we

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: really give him this long.

135
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: Term contract right now?

136
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 3: So I think the franchise tag or Atlanta is the

137
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: most sensible way to say, Okay, let's see if he

138
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 3: can do this another year. Does he have his consistency

139
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: in him as opposed to was just this just the

140
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: one year wonder of Kyle pitt So let's see what

141
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: happens there. Of course, when Michael Penny's comeing off the injury,

142
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: a new head coach, new GM, you won as many

143
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: good players as possible, So let's try to Keepkyle Pits around.

144
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: See if you can do it.

145
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: Again, Well, the New York Jets need as many good

146
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: players as possible, and they have Breshall in the building. Remember,

147
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: they did not trade him at the trade deadline last year,

148
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: and Breesehall was surprised and openly disappointed.

149
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Remember they traded.

150
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: Quinnin Williams saw Us Gardner. Breeshall thought he was going

151
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: to go too. He was not happy that he was

152
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: not traded. He still put up a thousand yard rushing

153
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: season despite all of the dysfunction on the Jets offense

154
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: last season. At the time that they did not trade him,

155
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn, the head coach, said, I don't want to

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: trade him. I want him to be here. He's a

157
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: good player. Well, we will see what they do now.

158
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: They have lots of cap space at the New York Jets.

159
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: They could easily afford the fourteen million dollars for the

160
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: franchise tag. Maybe they used the transition tag that's rarely

161
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: used by maybe cost him a few million dollars less

162
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: Our own Daniel Jeremiah said it on The Move the

163
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: Sixth podcast, like they need to fill a lot of holes.

164
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: Breese Hall fills a really important hole for a team

165
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: that doesn't know what their quarterback situation is going to be.

166
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, the Colts had a hole to fill a

167
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: quarterback for a long time. They felt like they had

168
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: filled it last year with Daniel Jones prior to a

169
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: couple injuries, including the torn achilles that he is still rehabbing.

170
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: This is going to be fascinating to see it, to

171
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: watch it play out, and not just because several years

172
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: ago the Giants were dealing with the Daniel Jones Saquon

173
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Barkley tag situation that ended up with Saquon getting tagged

174
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Jones getting an extension. It's also because Daniel Jones wants

175
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: to be in Indianapolis. The Colts want to work out

176
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: a deal with Daniel Jones, but the deadline for that

177
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: is not going to be March eleventh. It's probably going

178
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: to be March third, which is when that franchise tag

179
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: window closes. The Colts and Daniel Jones representatives have had

180
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: at least some initial talks about a contract extension. Can

181
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: they get something done that makes sense for all parties.

182
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: That's going to determine hiss after what direction this goes.

183
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: The tag would be an option for Daniel Jones if

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: they can't work out a deal if they get some

185
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: done with Jones. They do have another player, Alec Pierce

186
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: they potentially could tag as well, though ideally they wouldn't

187
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: have to use a tag on either can work out

188
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: contracts with both of those players. We had other news,

189
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Mark Ross, thank you very much. More from you in

190
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: a little bit here On the coaching front earlier today,

191
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: the Browns have filled their defensive coordinator vacancy. It's Mike Ruttenberg.

192
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: This was a bit of a surprise, but a high

193
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: energy assistant trained under Robert Saul and Jeff Olbrick, was

194
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: most recently with Atlanta. Of course, the Browns wanted to

195
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: retain Jim Schwartz, who does not have to win. They

196
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: hired Todd Monkin as the head coach. Macca now ends

197
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: up going with Rutenberg the halt and the plan that

198
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: they'll keep that same system in place. Jude.

199
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Andrew Ganoko to be

200
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator. He is following Clint Kubiak from Seattle,

201
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: where Janoko was the quarterbacks coach. He did such great

202
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: work with Sam Darnold this season. They also worked together

203
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: with the Vikings and the Saints. This is the first

204
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: time that Junoko, though, will be the offensive coordinator. Kubiak, though,

205
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: is going to be the offensive play caller in Vegas

206
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: and on the other side of the ball. In Las Vegas,

207
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: Kubiak has promoted Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator. He was

208
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 2: the defensive line coach and the.

209
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,359
Speaker 1: Run game coordinator.

210
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: Leonard has been with the Readers for three seasons and

211
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: has worked closely with Max Crosby, who posted on social

212
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: media calling it legend when the Leonard higher was revealed.

213
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: Crosby's future in Vegas is still unclear. Probably doesn't hurt

214
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: that he likes this hire. Leonard is also a first

215
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: time coordinator Tom.

216
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people assume we c think Kubiak left

217
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: for Las Vegas, the Seahawks would fill their offensive coordinator

218
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: job internally, maybe with Andrew Junoko. Instead, they go outside

219
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: the building, but in the division. Brian Floury, who's been

220
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: the run game coordinator and tight ends coach with San Francisco,

221
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: now set to become the Seahawks new OC. Flory had

222
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: been one of the longest tenured and most trusted assistants

223
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan. You know anybody who lasts that long

224
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: with Kyle has something going for him. Fleury came in absolutely.

225
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: I was told blew away the interviews with the Seahawks.

226
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald going bold once again bringing Brian Flury to Seattle.

227
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: Derek Hall's still in Seattle at least four now, and

228
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: he is a Super Bowl champion on that team coming

229
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: up after this, He's going to be with us in

230
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: just a little bit to talk about exactly how Seattle

231
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: put a second Lombardi Trophy in the case. He just

232
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: won Super Bowl sixty, so wins. Team's had the biggest

233
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl window heading into the twenty twenty six season.

234
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: Steve White and Bucky Brooks will be here to tell

235
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: you that and a lot more. Right after this on

236
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: The Insiders, Lombardi Trophy number two headed to Seattle thanks

237
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks winning Super Bowl sixty just eight days ago,

238
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: but somehow feels like eight months ago. Seahawks are packed

239
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of celebrating, a parade, a bunch of

240
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: coaching staff changes a lot in in those days. Since

241
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: we are now counting down the days to free agency,

242
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: the draft, and Super Bowl sixty one, who is going

243
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: to be the winner? Not Love, It's going to be

244
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day in twenty twenty six. Welcome back to the Insiders.

245
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: Tom Pilicero, Judie Batista join now by Bucky Brooks and

246
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: Steve Whitz. Bucky's got an article right now nfl dot

247
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: com slash Scout Snowbook looking at some of the teams

248
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: with the biggest Super Bowl winner super Bowl windows. There.

249
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: It is entry twenty twenty six. Bucky, what's the first one?

250
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 5: Although we got to talk about the Chicago Bears because

251
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 5: there's a lot of excitement into Windy City about Kaylyn

252
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 5: Williams and Van Johnson getting together. And when you think

253
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 5: about the formulae of the recipe to get into the

254
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, it's about head coach, quarterback, and then.

255
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: A defense that can make it happen.

256
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 5: And when you think about the head coach and quarterback,

257
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 5: they've been able to get it together. Kaylyn Williams last

258
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 5: year was to riffing, particularly down the stretch, and with

259
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 5: the weapons around him, they're good to go. And then

260
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 5: when Dennis Allen creating turnovers at an alarming rate, this

261
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 5: team is going to be there because the personnel is

262
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 5: going to be upgraded.

263
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: That gives them a shot.

264
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 6: Hey, Bucky, I'm with you on the Bears, but let's

265
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 6: reset for a second. We're not discounting the Seahawks super

266
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 6: Bowl window being open. It's wide open with the youth

267
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 6: and the development and the culture that they've established there.

268
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 6: But let's go to a challenger and that's the Chicago Bears.

269
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 6: I'm right there with you. But Caleb Williams, you know,

270
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 6: the quarterback, he's an emerging talent and as you saw, Bucky,

271
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 6: this is why I like them. As the season went on,

272
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 6: he got better handling situational football down in distance, protecting

273
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 6: the ball, and really rallying his teammates. Plus, they've got

274
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 6: so much young talent at the skilled positions, some young

275
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 6: and a good mix of youth and better experience on

276
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 6: the offensive line, like you also mentioned, Bucky, on defense,

277
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 6: they got steadily better throughout the season. Now they may

278
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 6: need a charge of youth, and there's some spots on

279
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 6: that defense. With the Bears, that is a team that's

280
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 6: got a wide open window for several.

281
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: Years a right, Bucky, we will probably always wonder what

282
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: would have happened in the AFC Championship Game this year

283
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: if bo Knicks were healthy and they didn't have to

284
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: play a backup who hadn't played in like two years.

285
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: It seems like the Broncos window is wide open right now.

286
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: Right.

287
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely, it's wide open. And some would say that

288
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 5: if bow Knicks plays, maybe they are the representative in

289
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: Super Bowl sixty but that's not how I played out.

290
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: But still Sean Payton bow Knicks.

291
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 5: Bow Knicks being magical last season, seven game winning drives,

292
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 5: being able to get it done in a variety of

293
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 5: different ways, and this offense has so much meat on

294
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: the bone left to pick. I think, more up tempo,

295
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 5: more playmakers, the running game continue to evolve. That's gonna

296
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: help them. But I'll advanced Joseph in this defense also

297
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 5: getting it done. They harassed the quarterbacks relentlessly and that's

298
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 5: not going to change, which is why the Denver Broncos

299
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 5: are going to be in the mix to be there

300
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 5: in Super Bowl sixty one.

301
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Bucky.

302
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 6: I mean, we're talking about TV young quarter and emerging

303
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 6: young quarterbacks who will continue to develop. We know the

304
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 6: Broncos they've got a good offensive line.

305
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: A little bit I'm.

306
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 6: Gonna talk about some free agents they may want to

307
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 6: add that can get them to the next step. But

308
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 6: we all that defense is magic. You know, they don't

309
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 6: have a lot to do necessarily to improve that defense.

310
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 6: It's young personnel. You got patzer Tan, you got Talano

311
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 6: who funk on the back end. You've got edge rushers

312
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 6: Nick Bonito on the front end. So all three levels

313
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 6: are really good. And again I think it's an infusion

314
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 6: of explosive playmaking talent on the offensive side Bucky that

315
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 6: will help bone Nicks and will have Denver right there

316
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 6: in the mix. But they still have to get through

317
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 6: that tough AFC west.

318
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: All Buck. We know Matthew Stafford's going to be back

319
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: for another season. It still gotta work out the contract there.

320
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: But with a quarterback at that age, even an NFL MVP,

321
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: how open is the RAMS window in your mind?

322
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 5: No, it's still a wide if we see these aging

323
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 5: quarterbacks getting better and better with time, and Matthew Stafford

324
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 5: certainly represents that. And when Matthew Staffor coming off in

325
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: MVP season, what we saw is his ability to put

326
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 5: this offense on his back. And even though they have

327
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 5: the running game with Caaren Williams and Blake corm they

328
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 5: can throw it outside the booking Dakua and devote Adams.

329
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 5: It's the quarterback that makes it go for this window

330
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 5: continue to be open, though the defense is going to

331
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 5: have to play better, particularly when they got into the postseason,

332
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 5: got a little big for them, and the championship game

333
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 5: looked for them to atone for that disappointing performance as

334
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: they're motivated to go back to Super Bowl sixty one.

335
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 6: Why bucket wide open window a couple more years for

336
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 6: Matt Stafford. That's the exciting news for the Rams. But

337
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 6: I'm going back to the youthful talent of the quarterback.

338
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 6: I'm going back to the AFC, this time to the

339
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 6: AFC South, and that's the Houston Texans. This is now

340
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 6: They've got question mark CJ.

341
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: Stroud.

342
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 6: Is he going to get over the hump? He's got

343
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 6: to get better. This offensive line has got to get better,

344
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 6: but this defense is going to carry him. And then

345
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 6: what they've done in terms of the way of when

346
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 6: they've extended some of their key young players, they're not

347
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 6: going to run to significant cap issues when they've got

348
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 6: to pay Will Anderson and c J. Stroud because they've

349
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 6: taken care of Derek Stingley and Jalen Peatrie and Nico

350
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 6: Collins some of their key players. So if they get

351
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 6: this offensive line together and c. J. Stroud kind of

352
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 6: gets his head together, gets his confidence back, the Houston

353
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 6: Texans super Bowl window is going to be there for

354
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 6: a very long time.

355
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: They built it through the draft, the NVEL Draft twenty

356
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: twenty six, sixty six days away, Bucky, We're gonna get

357
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: some thoughts from you on that in just a little bit.

358
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: Steve also stick around Mammy.

359
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: Dolphins released five time All Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill

360
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 2: on Monday. It was the expected move as the Dolphins

361
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: begin their roster reset under a new football brain trust.

362
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 2: Hill is also coming off a very serious knee injury.

363
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: It's unclear still if he will even be able to

364
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: play at any point in twenty twenty six, although he

365
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: did post on social media his thanks to the organization

366
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: and to the city, and he said he would be back.

367
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 2: The Dolphins also released or are preparing to release pass

368
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 2: rusher Bradley Chubb. Not a surprise there either. They restructured

369
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: his contract last season. Chubb led the team with eight

370
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: and a half sacks in twenty twenty five. He missed

371
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: all of twenty twenty four with a torn acl but

372
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, he had eleven sacks and six

373
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: forest fumbles. He has forty eight career sacks, So there

374
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: should be plenty of interest in Chubb on the open market,

375
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: and this is certainly not expected to be the last

376
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: big move by the Dolphins in advance of free agency.

377
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: Tom free agency just three weeks away. The negotiating window

378
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: opens up on March ninth, a signing period March eleventh

379
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: and four pm Eastern Time. Free Agency Frenzy here on

380
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: NFL Network. A very special edition of The Insiders on

381
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: Sunday March eighth as well, will have you covered wall

382
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: to wall, and at least some of that coverage will

383
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: be coming from our studio in LA where our Bridge

384
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: Econon and Steve White are standing by right now with

385
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: some thoughts on some of the big names we're going

386
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: to be talking about guys.

387
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 7: All right, let's start with the Super Bowl winning MVP,

388
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 7: Kenneth Walker, the third. It's a really interesting situation when

389
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 7: you think about Seattle. They run the ball third most

390
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 7: in the league this past season. Fifty percent of their

391
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 7: plays they are calling a run play. Okay, you have

392
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 7: Kenneth Walker, who had a career high in terms of

393
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 7: scrimmage yards with over thirteen hundred. He only rushed for

394
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 7: about sixty a game during the regular season, but this

395
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 7: guy took off in the postseason more than one hundred

396
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 7: yards on the ground per game in the postseason, won

397
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 7: the MVP. Obviously, that is due in part to Zach

398
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 7: Sharbonay tearing his cl in January. Now, this is where

399
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 7: things get complicated because when you look at the running

400
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 7: back market, Steve you know this well, you've covered this league.

401
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 7: You think of guys like Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley

402
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 7: and Derrick Henry. They've gotten some of those massive second

403
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 7: contract situations, but it's been tough for guys like Josh

404
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 7: Jacobs and other running backs to get those big second deals.

405
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 7: So now Seattle's in a situation where are you going

406
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 7: to let the MVP of the Super Bowl just walk

407
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 7: out of the building, especially when you have Zach Sharbonay

408
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 7: hurt with an ACL probably for about nine to ten

409
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 7: months is the typical time that you're out with so

410
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 7: he's going to miss time this season. They're in a

411
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 7: difficult situation, but it would be very hard for them

412
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 7: because of what Kenneth Walker did this postseason to let

413
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 7: that guy go.

414
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 6: I think it'd be hard for them to let him

415
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 6: go even if they franchise. That number's pretty high fourteen million.

416
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 6: And like you said, though, the money would be interesting

417
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 6: because he does split carries, yes, some of the time.

418
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna go with a running back who does

419
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 6: split carries, who's gonna be a little bit lesser on

420
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 6: the budget but could be more impactful. And that's Falcons

421
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 6: running back Tyler Algier, a free agent. I think he

422
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 6: would be an ideal fit with the Denver Broncos. Here's

423
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 6: the cop, here's someone Tyler algieer remember as a rookie

424
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 6: rush for a thousand yards with the Falcons. They went

425
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 6: out and got Bijon Robinson too good to pass on.

426
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 6: But if you put Tyler Algier in the back with RJ.

427
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 6: Harvey Bridget, You've got mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara and

428
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 6: Sean Payton's system. Think about what those two did together

429
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 6: down in New Orleans. That's when Algier Harvey tandem could

430
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 6: look like. Algier is a touchdown maker to eight rushing touchdown,

431
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 6: someone with a great nose for the So I think

432
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 6: again for what they might want to do in the

433
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 6: physical aspect of the run game to help out Bonix.

434
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 6: Algier would be a perfect fit with the Broncos.

435
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 7: Okay, now, let's look at some of the guys on

436
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 7: the defensive end. Khalil Mack, he's a really interesting situation.

437
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 7: He's a guy who has a detailed resume. He's obviously

438
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 7: been a nine time Pro Bowler, He's been Defensive Player

439
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 7: of the Year.

440
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: The one thing that.

441
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 7: Is not on his resume is a Super Bowl win.

442
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 7: And I've gotten to know him pretty well covering the

443
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 7: Chargers here in Los Angeles, and you know how badly

444
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 7: guys want to add that, especially if you're thinking about

445
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 7: the Hall of Fame. You want to have that Super

446
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 7: Bowl ring on your resume. Now, Khalil Mack has had

447
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 7: an interesting career in terms of he spent four years

448
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 7: where he was with the Raiders, he spent four years

449
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 7: in Chicago, and then he just finished his fourth season.

450
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: In with the Chargers.

451
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 7: So it could be a perfect situation where you do

452
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 7: four to four to four. All right, let's move back

453
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 7: and go to a new team. If you want to

454
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 7: break it up evenly. This is a guy that can

455
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 7: still compete when it came to the postseason. The first game,

456
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 7: the only game the Chargers played this postseason, and Khalil

457
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 7: Mack had the most snaps that he had all season.

458
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 7: So he is a player that they have confidence in

459
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 7: and he can still play at a high level. Five

460
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 7: and a half sacks this past season. Now, is this

461
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 7: a situation where he sees Mike McDaniel now with the

462
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 7: Chargers and thinks, Okay, maybe this is our time with

463
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 7: Justin Herbert and finally they get over the hump. Or

464
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 7: it could be a situation where he says, let me

465
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 7: head back to Chicago where I have a lot of familiarity.

466
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 7: They need help in terms of pass rush. It's going

467
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 7: to be a really interesting situation, and it kind of

468
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 7: feels like it's up to Khalil at this point of

469
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 7: where he wants to go.

470
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 6: Or he could join his DC jesse mentor in Baltimore

471
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 6: and they absolutely could use a pass rusher right there.

472
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 6: I want to go back, speaking of Baltimore, to the

473
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: offensive side of the ball, Isaiah likely the tight end

474
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 6: who you know the Ravens. They cast an extension to

475
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 6: Mark Andrews the other tight end. I think Isaiah likely

476
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 6: would be a perfect fit with the Washington Commanders. He

477
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 6: won't have to move. He can just go right down

478
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 6: the highway and go to Washington. Because the one thing

479
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 6: we saw with Jayden Daniels as a rookie was he

480
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 6: like to go to the tight end. Zach Ert was

481
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 6: his number two receiver. You get a versatile and younger

482
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 6: route runner like Isaiah Likely, who's actually emerged as a

483
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 6: pretty solid blocker. He could be a real helpful asset

484
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 6: to that offense. And since we're talking about guys who

485
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 6: catch the ball, one of the intriguing wide receivers bridget

486
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 6: it's going to be on the free agent market is

487
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 6: Alec Pierce, the deep threat with the Indianapolis Colts. Now

488
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 6: they're going to try to keep him, but there could

489
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 6: be a really intoxicating market for him. Is he a

490
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 6: Jamar Chase forty five million dollars a year guy. No,

491
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 6: but he could be thirty million plus and Buffalo Bills

492
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 6: rearrange a couple of contracts. You got to get some

493
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 6: people to open up this offense. And Alan Pearce is

494
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 6: the best downfield threat in the NFL, averaging more than

495
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 6: twenty one yards per reception. He's somebody again you open

496
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 6: that thing up to Buffalo with Josh Allen. It'll clear

497
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 6: some stuff out underneath. Alex Pearce is going to be

498
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 6: a very intriguing free agent to watch.

499
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, Tom, we talk about the NFL offseason doesn't really

500
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 7: ever stop. We could sit here for the next three weeks.

501
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 7: We probably will and let you know all the different

502
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 7: reasons why X and Y should go to this team

503
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 7: or that team. Twenty three days we have left until

504
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 7: free agency, and Steve and I are going to continue

505
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 7: telling you why these teams should select certain players.

506
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: Oh, there certainly is going to be some spending power,

507
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: thank you guys out there. With the salary cap projected

508
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: to be upwards of three hundred million dollars for the

509
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: first time, some teams sitting on absolute mountains of cap space,

510
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: including the Titans, the Raiders, the Chargers surprisingly on that

511
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: list as well as we welcome back R. Mark Ross

512
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: to the conversation with Judy Batista and me. Tom PILLI sera, Marcus,

513
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: you look at that list of the teams with the

514
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: most spending power. Who who's catching your eye? That might

515
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: make some noise here in a few weeks.

516
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, those three teams that are clearly rebuilding.

517
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Chargers, like, oh wow, playoff team there,

518
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: But I'm looking at the Commanders right there, who two

519
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 3: years ago, of course, made it to the NFC Championship Game.

520
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: Last season the big offseason getting Laramie Tunsel and Deebo

521
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 3: Samuel with a lot of high hopes that, oh, here's

522
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: the year, and of course it fell apart this Jaydon

523
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: Daniels with the injury. So what will they do this

524
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: offseason with all that cap space and how will they

525
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 3: address most of their issues? Most of that on defense

526
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: would still need some playmakers on offense as well offensive line.

527
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: So despite making it to the NFC Championship Game two

528
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: years ago, the high hopes of the big offseason signings

529
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: last offseason, still a lot of holes there that the

530
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 3: Commanders saw this year with that disappointing season. So it'll

531
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: be very interesting to see what GM Adam Peters does

532
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: here with that cap space to build around that guy

533
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 3: right there, Jade Daniels.

534
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 4: And if they can get back to contention once again.

535
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's look at the teams on the other

536
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: side of the coin. These are the teams in the

537
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: worst salary cap situation. They got a lot of work

538
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 2: to do just to get under the salary cap. Chiefs

539
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: at the top, Vikings, Cowboys, Bills, Jaguars. Certainly the Chiefs

540
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: are at the top. Play quite a margin there, all right,

541
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: Mark Cross, which of these teams are you keeping an

542
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: eye on?

543
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: How?

544
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: I mean, that's low hanging fruit right to see the

545
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: Chiefs at the top. But then so much like I

546
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 3: couldn't believe it when I saw the salary cap numbers, like.

547
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 4: Is this for real right here?

548
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: I mean, of course they've had this success there and

549
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes and whatnot, But to be that far over

550
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: the cap, they're.

551
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 4: Gonna have to do some serious restructuring of deals.

552
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 3: Number one, They're gonna have to make a lot of

553
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 3: cuts there, Juwan Taylor, I'm looking at you. The restructure

554
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 3: there is maybe Patrick Mahomes and and Chris Jones will

555
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: restructure their contracts there. They have their own free agents there.

556
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: They'll have to re sign there. And Travis Kelsey if

557
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 3: he's coming back, Leo Chanal, Brian Cook. But so they're

558
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 3: gonna have to, you know, GM Brett Vieach there is

559
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: gonna have to do a lot of manipulating and restructuring

560
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 3: and cutting of contracts to get underneath the cap there,

561
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: and it's really shocking to see, you know, two years ago,

562
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: you know, winning the Super Bowl and now you know,

563
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 3: missing the playoffs and where is this organization.

564
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 4: Talking about Washington? Can they get back?

565
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: You know, well, will the Chiefs have enough ammunition to

566
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 3: get back as well and enough good players to getting

567
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 3: back to content at the top of their AFC.

568
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: Pattern Mahomes current cabinember for twenty twenty six scheduled to

569
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: be seventy eight million, though they can tip over the

570
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 1: piggy bank, convert his salary to a signing bonus and

571
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: make up a lot of that deficit that they need

572
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: to already mark. Great stuff as always, Thank you very much.

573
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: So much more to come on this show, including a

574
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: visit by another member of the Super Bowl champs. Derek

575
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: Hall got after Drake May Now I's going to get

576
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: after Judy Battista and Bridget Con didn't answer their questions.

577
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: Right after this, Derek Hall on The Insiders.

578
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: There is a picture that Derek Hall is probably going

579
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: to have framed and put on his mantle for the

580
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 2: rest of his career. Derek Hall kissing the Lombardi Trophy

581
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 2: and you know what Derek Hall now is going to

582
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: join us on the Insiders. I am Judy Batista, that's

583
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 2: Bridget and I should really start over and say super

584
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: Bowl champion Derek Hall is joining us on the Insiders. Derek,

585
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what the last week has been like

586
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: for you. I don't know if you've slept yet, if

587
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: it's all a blur. What has this week been like

588
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: for you?

589
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh?

590
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 8: Man, it's been It's been amazing. It's been such a blessing.

591
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 8: It's hard to put in the words and described. You know,

592
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 8: just just a feeling and you know the success and

593
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 8: everything that it took to get to this moment, so

594
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 8: it's pretty special. I haven't slept, actually, I drove from

595
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 8: Seattle back home. Obviously, big truck guy, so I had

596
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 8: a home, a truck back, so been very little asleep.

597
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 9: But how couldn't be more happy?

598
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: Derek?

599
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 7: I want to ask you during the regular season, two socks,

600
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 7: the entire regular season, then you get too in the

601
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 7: Super Bowl against Drake May, the biggest game of your career.

602
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 7: What was it like seeing your hard work finally pay

603
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 7: off in that huge moment?

604
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 8: I think it was huge, you know, it was just

605
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 8: it was it was up and down here. Uh you know,

606
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 8: pressure Ray was there, pass rustman, Ray was there. But

607
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 8: the sac numbers you know, then show and man, I

608
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 8: just you know, I'm big in my face. So just

609
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 8: being allowed to be able to let God leave me

610
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 8: continue do the work, continue to stick through the processing. Man,

611
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 8: what better moment Ford to show up in Super Bowl

612
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 8: sixty on the Sunday and he'll leave my team s victory?

613
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 9: It can give us better than that.

614
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: Let's talk about one of the sacks, in particular, the

615
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: strip sack.

616
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: In the third quarter.

617
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: The defense had been dominating the game, but of course

618
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: the score was still really low at that point. Take

619
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: us inside, like maybe on the sideline or in the

620
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: huddle with the rest of the defense. Did you guys

621
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: sense that a turnover was coming? Did you sent you

622
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: as often as you were getting to him that a

623
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: game changing play was coming next?

624
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 9: I mean it was. You know, that's something we always

625
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 9: harp on.

626
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 8: You know, we're huge on turnovers, We're huge on getting

627
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 8: the ball out, and you know we've been saying the

628
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 8: whole time, and we got to get the ball.

629
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: Off this guy.

630
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 9: We got to get the ball off this guy.

631
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 8: And kudo to my guy, Leo, Man, he just jetted

632
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 8: off the ball and I'm like, please stay votical, please

633
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 8: stay straight.

634
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 9: And when he did that, I came around on the

635
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 9: game and uh.

636
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 8: You know, talking through the level of the ball and there,

637
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 8: you know, there was Murphy on the spot, you know,

638
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 8: by able to get the ball off and you know

639
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 8: us have a little you know, how to get that

640
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 8: first turn.

641
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 9: Of the game. That was really huge.

642
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 7: Your defense was such a force all season, the number

643
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 7: one scoring defense in the NFL. What has it been

644
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 7: like to be a part of the Seattle defense the

645
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 7: dark side that you guys call it, and and how

646
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 7: does it you know, transfer and change now that you

647
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 7: guys are Super Bowl champions.

648
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 8: I think it's amazing, you know, just to see where

649
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 8: we started last year and then halfway through the year

650
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 8: we knew what we could possibly be, and then going

651
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 8: to this year and man like just being dominant, you know,

652
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 8: making guys accept the fate that they have to see

653
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 8: the dark side.

654
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 9: And when you do, it's real.

655
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 8: And you know, when people watch ta you, we want

656
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 8: you to know that you know this, this is what

657
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 8: it is. You're gonna have to accept that there's nothing

658
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 8: you could do about them. Man, we have a group

659
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 8: of guys like that. I think that's really really special.

660
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 8: You know, veteran leaders like d law Leo, j Reed,

661
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 8: Jay Love, Chenna in itself, and then you know all

662
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 8: those guys is leading us along the way and you know,

663
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 8: aren't just being that that guy in the middle.

664
00:30:59,200 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 9: It's special.

665
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 8: It's hard to put into words, and I don't think

666
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 8: much of anything's going to change it all. You know,

667
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 8: after this Super Bowl trophy, everybody is already talking about

668
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 8: getting back to work and running it back.

669
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 9: So obviously, you know that's our goal going in the

670
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 9: next season.

671
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: At what point did you realize this might be a

672
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: special team. At what point in the season did you

673
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: think like this could be a team that could go

674
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: all the way.

675
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 8: I think it's some people may think I'm crazy, but

676
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 8: I think after the loss of Tampa. I think after

677
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 8: the loss of Tampa, you know, a lot of teams,

678
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 8: you know, handled things differently. But I think the way

679
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 8: we accepted that loss, the way we went back to work,

680
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 8: the way we handled our business, and you know, from

681
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 8: from that point on we knew that, you know, we

682
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 8: had a very very special opportunity. You know, even in

683
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 8: LA game, the way the circumstances were and we had

684
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 8: a chance to win there lay in the game and

685
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 8: the you know, Sam being the leader that he is

686
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 8: and just going back to working defense, being where we are.

687
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 9: We know we gave him too many points. Is going

688
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 9: back to work that's special?

689
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 8: And like I said, you have a group like that,

690
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 8: it's hard to be And so somebody asked me after

691
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 8: the game, you know, what what's it like to lose

692
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 8: a game? Like man, I can't tell you the last

693
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 8: time we lost the game, And that's that's hard to

694
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 8: do in his league.

695
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 9: So when you do those things, you have to own it, really.

696
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 7: Will You just talked about Sam Darnold being a leader

697
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 7: a little bit, and we heard Ernest Jones his speech

698
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 7: before the parade in Seattle last week and had a

699
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 7: lot of words for Sam Darnold haters. What's it like

700
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 7: to play for a guy like Ernest Jones playing next

701
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 7: to him and just have all of your teammates have

702
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 7: so much belief in one another despite what anybody on

703
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 7: the outside says.

704
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I think first of all, my sums Joe,

705
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 8: will you know, we we have these shirts that they

706
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 8: made for us. It kind of a little funny Joe

707
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 8: that we did not care, and you know, honestly, we

708
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 8: still don't care.

709
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 9: We would never care.

710
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 8: You know, it's about the people in the building, and

711
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 8: that's what really matters to us. Having a guy like

712
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 8: aj who's the leader, you know, who's been there and

713
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 8: has that opportunity to win the Super Bowl, and having

714
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 8: you know, somebody vested like that in the game who

715
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 8: go out and put his bestl forward to help team

716
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 8: busy stuff. I've seen that guy put his body on

717
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 8: the line time and time again, comes to the sideline some

718
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 8: isn't right. He makes it his fix and put his

719
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 8: body back on the line for the team. And we

720
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 8: have a group of connected group like that. You know,

721
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 8: I speak to the shotow box and like everybody know

722
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 8: that's what we do. But just how that brings us

723
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 8: so close together and have us so close knit, I

724
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 8: think it's hard to be and you know we you

725
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 8: know what makes it god taken, you know what makes

726
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 8: them go. It's that much easier to go out and

727
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 8: you know, put your body on the line for him.

728
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: You mentioned you guys are already thinking about next season.

729
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: There was a lot of talk at the parade about

730
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: like we're not going anywhere. We're going to be here

731
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: for a while. You know that the dynamic is going

732
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: to change, right, you are going to be the hunted now.

733
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: Every team is going to come for you next season.

734
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: What is it going to take for you guys to

735
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: get back to the Super Bowl?

736
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think just continue to do work. You know,

737
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 8: it's starting all over. It's not like you get to

738
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 8: live off this higher live off this glory.

739
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 9: Again.

740
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 8: I think you know, the work restarts and that starts

741
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 8: in April, and I know coach Mike and his staff

742
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 8: will put a good game playing together and uh, you

743
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 8: know we'll be ready to roll and just continue to

744
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 8: do to work and you know, whatever it takes to

745
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 8: get there, however long it takes to get there. And

746
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 8: I think that's what Mike Preacher really will no matter

747
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 8: how long it takes. You can take one quarter, eight quarters,

748
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 8: fifteen quarters, no matter where we play. You know, we

749
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 8: have to go out and you know, put our bestuitt

750
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 8: forward to go out and viac sales when I think

751
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 8: they have a great plan in place far as getting

752
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 8: back in April off season, going into a training campan

753
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 8: and obviously into the season.

754
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 9: So I'm looking forward to it.

755
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 7: Your story is one of the best that we've ever

756
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 7: ever seen. I mean, you were born four months premature,

757
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 7: given one percent chance to survive, you were born just

758
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 7: barely a pound. Now you're six three, two hundred and

759
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 7: fifty pounds in a super Bowl champion. I just have

760
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 7: chills saying that sentence. What's it like for you to

761
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 7: hear that?

762
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 9: And how have you gotten here?

763
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 8: It's special and it took me a while to get

764
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 8: to that point. We want to be able to share

765
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 8: my story. And you know, my mother, she always wanted

766
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 8: to talk to me about it. I'm like, I'm just

767
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 8: not at that point where I really want to hear

768
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 8: about it, really talk about it, and pre draft, we

769
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 8: finally got to that point where I was ready to

770
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 8: sit down and talk about it because they wanted to

771
00:34:59,760 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 8: do it.

772
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 9: A story on it, and I was like, okay, whatever.

773
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 8: So we get into it, we start talking about it,

774
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 8: and man, just the love and the hearts and minds

775
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 8: of people that I've touched.

776
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 9: It's so special.

777
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 8: And you know, being able to have those people in

778
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 8: your life in your corner like my mother and you know,

779
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 8: family and friends, to help raise the village and bring up.

780
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 9: A child I feel like that's one of how I

781
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 9: got here.

782
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 8: But just being able to touch the hearts and minds

783
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 8: of so many people throughout the league I had I

784
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 8: was actually attraction apply yesterday and I had a kid

785
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 8: come up to me and his dad was like, man,

786
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 8: he was born premature.

787
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 9: He took a preachure with me. He was like, man,

788
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 9: I love you, Derek Hall.

789
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 8: You inspired me and definitely almost made me share the

790
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 8: tore because it's bigger than boding me.

791
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: You know.

792
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 8: That's that's what it's about. It's about touching the lives

793
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 8: and hearts of others with the platform that you have.

794
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 9: So it's pretty special.

795
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: Well, Derek, you have a remarkable story. You're going to

796
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: have a lot of opportunities to tell it again this

797
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 2: off season because you are a super Bowl champion. Thank

807
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: know prior to next week from our Bucky Brooks, take

808
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: a look at the top five running backs in this class.

809
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: No surprise checking in at number one. Jeremiah Love from

810
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pilaicero, Judy Battista,

811
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: Mark Ross, and the aforementioned Bucky Brooks. Bucky, we probably

812
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: don't need a lot of X with asy. Jeremiah Love

813
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: is number one, But put this in context. For me,

814
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: We've seen some really good running backs come through the process.

815
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: How good a prospect is he?

816
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 5: Look, I think you have to put him right in

817
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 5: that same category as Jon Robinson from Alta Falcons. And

818
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 5: the reason why I talked about that in my notes,

819
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 5: I have down total package. He can run it, he

820
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 5: can come downhill, he can get to the edges, he

821
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 5: can catch the ball out of the backfield, he can

822
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 5: round it out if he needs to. But he also

823
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 5: has the big playability. He is everything that you want

824
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 5: in a running back, which is why the league is

825
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 5: excited about him entering the league.

826
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, Bucket. He was super exciting for me

827
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: to watch as well. But I'm gonna go with his

828
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 3: teammate there who jumped out to Jandari in price. I

829
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: mean he gets in the game, You're like, well, he's

830
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: like Love light almost.

831
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 4: You know, the vision is there, the.

832
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 3: Quick cuts are there, he has explosiveness to the edges.

833
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: And then what.

834
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 3: Also got me excited was his kickoff ability. He led

835
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 3: the nation with kickoff returns. He had two touchdowns of

836
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 3: one hundred yards and they weren't some fluke. You know

837
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: a lot of times returners just have just run through

838
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 3: straight lanes.

839
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: He's got the.

840
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: Vision, the elusiveness, and the explosiveness as a big play

841
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 3: threat in the kickoff game. And we've seen that with

842
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 3: the increase in kickoff returns over the past share with

843
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 3: the new kickoff rules that he'll add that as well.

844
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: That pass game. There limited touches there in the as

845
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 3: a receiver, so he'll be worked out thoroughly at the

846
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: combine and it work out to see how those hands

847
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: are because Love gets all those touches in the pass game.

848
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 4: But keep an eye on him as well.

849
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at your top five edge rushers

850
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: going into the combine absolutely no surprise. Ruben Bain Junior

851
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: from the Miami Hurricanes is number one on the list.

852
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: You've actually got two Hurricanes among this top five. How

853
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: did you arrive at this five, Bucky?

854
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 5: You know, it's really tough because they're all different type

855
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 5: flavors of pass rushers in this draft class. You have

856
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 5: the power rushers. Ruben Bain would fall into that category.

857
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 5: You got to speed in quickness, David Bailey would be there.

858
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 5: You have the relentless guys. Messador would fall into that.

859
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 5: And I think in this league it's not necessarily a

860
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett, but there are a bunch of productive worker

861
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 5: bees that are gonna get it done. And as more

862
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 5: teams are beginning to use rotations six, seven, eight guys

863
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 5: throwing multiple bodies at the quarterback, you can find ways

864
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 5: to use these guys, even though you have to expand

865
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 5: a first round pick on someone who's not a generational

866
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 5: talent as an edgeresher man.

867
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 3: It was super fun to watch those Miami guys. Man,

868
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 3: they bring it every snap.

869
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: Man.

870
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 4: You just don't see that too often, Bucky.

871
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 3: As you know, but another guy who I thought fitted

872
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: and that I know it's a thankless job putting your

873
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: top five together there, but my man, are Mason Thomas

874
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: of Oklahoma should be in there.

875
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 4: I know you'll get him there come draft time, he'll

876
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 4: be maybe two or three there for you.

877
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: But I mean, you talk about a guy who's a

878
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: little bit undersized but plays much bigger. With his size,

879
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: crazy explosive coming off the edge, and also with his power, relentless,

880
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 3: never gives up on a play. He's always bringing it.

881
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: And I watched him, I just kept having flashbacks. So

882
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 3: a Robert mathis type from the Coats. They're an undersized

883
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 3: guy who plays much bigger and more powerful than what

884
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 3: would seem. So when you look at a guy like

885
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 3: him who just brings it every snap, have to.

886
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 4: Find the right role for him. But he's going to

887
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 4: be a guy that teams are going to really love.

888
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: Mark Bucky thank you both very much. A lot more

Speaker 1: everywhere all at once, NFL honors, the Pro Bowl Games,

905
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: and apparently riding shotgun with Bubba Wallace in a NASCAR

906
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: if that what it's called just a NASCAR is in

907
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: a NASCAR car. I actually don't know the answer to that.

908
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: Bubba Wallace going on social media to say, quote my

909
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: dog asap Puka is yelling his ass off the entire

910
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: ride five laps to be exact, which phraises the question,

911
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: Judy Matista, would you be in or out at riding

912
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: shotgun in a NASCAR for five laps?

913
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: Yes, as long as a professional driver like Bubba Wallace

914
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 2: is driving the car.

915
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: Sure I get in a taxi or an uber every day. Yes,

916
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: I would absolutely get in the car and go as

917
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: fast as Bubba Wallace wants to drive it, no question.

918
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: In New York that is actually significantly more dangerous than

919
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: being part of a NASCAR race. I believe at times

920
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: they're the drivers. If there's not traffic, will actually approach

921
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: the same speech. I just love that Pooka seemingly pops

922
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: out at places there's no context. Why is he there?

923
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: How did he get there? Does he know Bubble Wallace?

924
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You just assume. When Too Short is

925
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: performing at NFL Honors, Pookah is going to be the

926
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: one there dancing and rapid along at every word. He

927
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: has entered a very very special place in the NFL

928
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: in that regard, and by the way, eligible for contract extension.

929
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: Don't do anything more dangerous than that, Poka, even if

930
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney is involved. Hey, we're back tomorrow seven pm

931
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: Eastern time. Love News, see you there.
