1
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Stunning news this morning out of Buffalo.

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott is out after nine seasons and over one

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: hundred wins as the Bill's head coach. We will tell

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: you why Buffalo decided to make a move and where

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: McDermott could be headed. Next, we won't be edited to

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: the Dolphins because Miami already got its man. We will

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: break down why Jeff Hafley is the new skipper of

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: South Beach and how that hire could impact other searches

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: around the league. We got some games to get to

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: as well. After another nutty playoff weekend. We got all

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: the highlights, the low lights, and to look ahead to

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: Championship Sunday. Welcome inside with the Insiders, presented by Progressive

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: Insurance alongside I in Rapport and Judy Matista. I am

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Tom Pelisero. Thank you for coming here for your football

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: this evening. We have an absolute ton of news to

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: get through through the course of this show as we

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: begin the final countdown six days until two teams will

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: punch their ticket the Super Bowl sixty Patriots at Broncos

19
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: in the AFC Championship Game, Rams at Seahawks in the

20
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: NFC Championship Game. The other twenty eight teams like us

21
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: watching from home, and one team made a major move

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: today to try to be in that group for seasons

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: to come. The Buffalo Bills firing their head coach Sean

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: McDermott two days after a heartbreaking playoff exit against the Broncos.

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: Including playoffs, McDermott won one hundred and six games over

26
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: nine seasons in Buffalo, made the playoffs eight times, but

27
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: did not reach a super Bowl.

28
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: I ask you this, Ian Rappaport, why.

29
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: Now you're right the Buffalo Bills did not reach a

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: super Bowl.

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: Playoffs every year.

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: AFC titles, seemingly, everyfcast titles, seemingly every year, a team

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: that went from nowhere to recipity. But the fact that

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott, with Josh Allen, with all of those weapons

35
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: and so much talent on defense, could not get to

36
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: where they needed to go, could not get to the

37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: super Bowl, could not take the next step, certainly something

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: that directly contributed to owner Terry People making the decision

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 3: today that Sean McDermott should be out.

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Now.

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: Make no mistake, this is something that has been weeks coming.

42
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 3: With Sean McDermott being the Buffalo head man for several seasons.

43
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: My understanding is McDermott himself had some questions about how

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: much talent the Bills had. I'm not sure that sat

45
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: well in the building, considering most teams believe they are

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: stocked full of talent. The Bills wanted a new leader.

47
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what wholesale change there will be to

48
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: what the Bills do, but they wanted a new leader,

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: deciding that Sean mcdermam was not the coach for them

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 3: moving forward.

51
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: Now it is a new.

52
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: Day in Buffalo, with no doubt, what of the most

53
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: coveted openings still unfilled duty.

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 5: I don't think Sean McDermott is the only person wondering

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 5: about the talent on the roster. But we digress, all right,

56
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 5: they go forward, they need a new head coach. I

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 5: would say that the bar is awfully high when you

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 5: get fired after making the playoffs eight of your nine seasons.

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 5: What they need, basically is somebody to get them over

60
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 5: the hump.

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: Right.

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: This reminds me a lot of the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

63
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 5: when Tony Dungee just brought them out of the seller,

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 5: completely revitalized the franchise, put the basis for a championship

65
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 5: in place, but could not win the Super Bowl. They

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: fired Tony Dungee hired John Gruden. Win a super Bowl.

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: That is the.

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: Best case scenario for the Buffalo Bills. They have to

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: hope that it turns out that way because it's going

70
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: to be really hard to top a coach that gets

71
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 5: to the playoffs eight of his nine seasons. They have

72
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 5: a lot of work ahead of them. Obviously, what they

73
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: need is somebody that Josh Allen trust. Certainly Sean McDermott

74
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: was a leader of men. Otherwise you pretty much want

75
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: exactly what you had in Sean McDermott, just with slightly

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: better results.

77
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: This is now quite clearly it seems one of, if

78
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: not the top job that is open. As for Sean McDermott,

79
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: he now becomes one of the top coaching candidates that

80
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: is available. I got a very classy statement from Sean

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: McDermott a short time ago, posted that on social media,

82
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: a love letter of sorts to the city, McDermott writing

83
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: in part, we love you, We will miss Buffalo Bill's mafia.

84
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: You are one of one.

85
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: It has been a joy and inspiration to witness your

86
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: passion and commitment. Firsthand, I always wanted our teams to

87
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: play with the same level of toughness and grit that

88
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: is true to Buffalo and that you demonstrate every day.

89
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: Let's welcome in our Cameron Wolf, who covered that Broncos

90
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: Bills game on Saturday in Denver, as well as Mark Ross. Cam,

91
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: I know you've been talking to some of the players

92
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: and others in Buffalo. What's the feeling around that city

93
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: and that building about today's news?

94
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tom.

95
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 6: Shortly after the Shaw mcdermoy firery news broke, I talked

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 6: with three Bills and all of them multi year Bills

97
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 6: who had significant roles, were in complete shock. One player

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 6: texted me w TF. Another simply texted back, wait what why?

99
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 6: And that kind of summed up a lot of the

100
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 6: locker room's feelings. You saw publicly. Daikwon Jones and Taron

101
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 6: Johnson among starters who expressed their dismayed publicly.

102
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: This is a coach that the Bills players loved.

103
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 6: He cared about the city passionately, He had a teach

104
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 6: tape and how he handled the DeMar Hamblin situation eight

105
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 6: of nine seasons in the playoffs, but ultimately another early

106
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 6: playoff exit with the reigning MVP and no Super Bowl appearances,

107
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 6: the Bills simply felt it was time a lot.

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 4: Of good couldn't get to great.

109
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 6: And I'm told there was a friction built up on

110
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 6: the question of is it the roster or is it

111
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 6: not maximizing this Josh Allen window. And essentially the Bills

112
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 6: picked their general manager, Brandon Bean over the now fired

113
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 6: Sean McDermott.

114
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 4: And look, the Bills believe they have a.

115
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 6: Team that was talent enough to win this year in

116
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 6: an offseason, a season that they didn't have Patrick Mahomes

117
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 6: playing in the playoffs, no Joe Burrow, no Lamar Jackson,

118
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 6: and so expect them to look for an offensive minded

119
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 6: head coach that can function with Josh Allen and like

120
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 6: Judy said, get them over the top with this elite player.

121
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: Mark.

122
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: It's probably hard to pin the loss in Denver on

123
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott. You have five turnovers in a game, you

124
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: got some of those things happen.

125
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: Obviously, there's only so much coaches can do.

126
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: But at the same time, there was a kind of

127
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: pattern you felt like in a lot of those big

128
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: moments going back years in the playoffs when you need

129
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: to stop Patrick Mahomes from going down the field when

130
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: you need to get the Broncos off the field, they

131
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: just weren't able to do it.

132
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: In your mind? What's the driving force? From an exus?

133
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: And O was a football standpoint of the Bills moving

134
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: on form McDermott right now.

135
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, almost like we talked about with Hardball,

136
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 7: and you know, he had reached a certain level but

137
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 7: then got defined by losing in big spots. Almost the

138
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 7: same with Sean where you have to give him credit

139
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 7: for where he got that Bills organization people forget kind

140
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 7: of where they were. And yes, then you get to

141
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 7: a certain level and all that matters after that is

142
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 7: winning the Super Bowl. And yes, there were some end

143
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 7: game decisions that you could say was this the head

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 7: coach's fault? But overall, when I look at the Bills,

145
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 7: it's almost as if they've overachieved a lot. And it's

146
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 7: interesting with this pattern this offseason where head coaches have

147
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 7: gotten the acts but not the general managers, particularly because

148
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 7: of Brandon Bean with Sean actually getting him hired there.

149
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 7: So when I look at the Bills, I didn't look

150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 7: at them as saying they're getting out coach.

151
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 8: I looked at they didn't.

152
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 7: Have a ton of talent, and that was particularly at

153
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 7: the wide receiver position where there's no impact players. And

154
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 7: then on a defensive side, they couldn't rush the passer

155
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 7: once again, given up thirty three points.

156
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 8: And that falls to me on the general manager, where.

157
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 7: They put a lot of resources and assets in the

158
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 7: drafting of those positions, but just didn't have a lot

159
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 7: of impact players. You're relying on guys like Dan Jackson

160
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 7: and Savage yesterday in those games, and that speaks to

161
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 7: the lack of debt. So I think Sean it may

162
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 7: have been time, But I'm just curious in this cycle

163
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 7: why it kind of wasn't a package deal there because

164
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 7: I look at them as not having the talent, not

165
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 7: being out coached.

166
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: The firing to Sean mcdermots brought us to ten head

167
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: coaching changes across the NFL in this cycle. We're now

168
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: up to three of those jobs that have been filled

169
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: within the past hour or so. The Miami Dolphins got

170
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: their man in his Jeff Hafley, the Packers defensive coordinator

171
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: former head coach at Boston College. I reported over the

172
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: weekend he is a front runner for the job. They

173
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: did additional interviews. They cast a wide net, but his

174
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: familiarity with John Eric Sullivan, the new general manager in Miami,

175
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: certainly played a factor here, as did how impressive his

176
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: work was over the past couple of years in Green

177
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: Bay Ian as well as what he did on the

178
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: interview circuit when he spent time with them. He blew

179
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: everyone away. Not a surprise that they got the thing

180
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: done and did not live let Jeff Hafley leave the building. No,

181
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: not a surprise. When the Miami Dolphins woke up this morning.

182
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: Their goal was to get through the.

183
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: Process and make sure of what they believed, which was

184
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: that Jeff Hafley was the right man to be their

185
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: new head coach.

186
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: Now you're right.

187
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: Halfway's work as a defensive coordinator excellent this year for

188
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: the Green Bay Packers, especially when he had Micah Parsons.

189
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 3: The fact that he's a former head coach at Boston

190
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 3: College but still a former head coach. He's been up

191
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: in the big room. He's led a team that spoke

192
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 3: volumes as well. But you really never know what you're

193
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: going to get until you get in the interview circuit

194
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: and you are right, Jeff Hafley blew everyone away. It

195
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: sounded like he was one of the if not the

196
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: most impressive interviews out there. And look, he had interest

197
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: from a lot of places. I know there were several

198
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: teams that wanted to bring him in for a second interview.

199
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: That Tennessee Titans were one of those teams. That is

200
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: why the Bamy Dolphins of John Eric Sullivan, who was

201
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: with Jeff Halfley with the green Bay Packers, acted quickly

202
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: and just now have agreed to terms on a five

203
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: year deal. It is Hathley is the new coach of

204
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins.

205
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: Well, when you think of what the Miami Dolphins need,

206
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 5: they really need an identity shift, an identity overhaul.

207
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 4: Right, they were perceived.

208
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: As soft, not physical enough, they couldn't win in cold weather.

209
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 5: What do you do if those are the markers of

210
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 5: your team. Well, hiring a defensive coordinator from Green Bay

211
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 5: and a guy who is a head coach in Boston

212
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 5: is a pretty good way to try to address those things.

213
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 5: That will be the mandate for him. In addition to

214
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: try to win a playoff game, something they have not

215
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 5: done in twenty five years at the Miami Dolphins. Obviously,

216
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 5: the first thing he has to address is the quarterback situation.

217
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 5: That is going to be the first decision, big decision

218
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 5: that will shape the way everything goes forward. But this

219
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 5: is certainly a hire that can address the other issues

220
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 5: that have plagued the Dolphins over the last few years,

221
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: especially the lack of physicality.

222
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, Judy, one text I got from aven coach about

223
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 6: Jeff Haffley after the hire is he can connect with anyone.

224
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 6: He is a connector who only brings positive energy. He

225
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 6: makes everyone feel like it's cool to be yourself. He's

226
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 6: detailed and prepped and look, that's a lot of what

227
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 6: the Dolphins really liked about Halfley. Of course, he reunites

228
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 6: with John Eric Sullivan, so they create a Green Bay

229
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 6: Packers duo. But this is a guy who gets to

230
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 6: create his own culture. This is the first Dolphins reset

231
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 6: in over a decade, and they looked around to other

232
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 6: cultures of what do we like, And they saw the Packers'

233
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 6: philosophy of draft and develop of building a physical team,

234
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 6: of finding patience and success of finding a franchise quarterback

235
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 6: with Jordan Love and Brett Favre, and they want to

236
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 6: immolate that and so expect them to prioritize a roster

237
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 6: on physicality and toughness and less about speed as it

238
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 6: has been in the Mike McDaniel era. Hafley's obviously turned

239
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 6: around a Packers defense. They were number six in the

240
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 6: NFL before the Michael Parsons injury. And as Judy mentioned,

241
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 6: the next question, now that you've found the head coach

242
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 6: and the general.

243
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: Manager is to highlight that quarterback.

244
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 6: It does sound like they are going to move forward

245
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 6: with a different quarterback than to what tsung by loa.

246
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 6: And now that process continue as of finding who exactly

247
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 6: that is.

248
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterbacks, the Denver Broncos will have a different

249
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: one in.

250
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: The AFC Championship game.

251
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: Stunning news Bo Nicks on that play right there, exe

252
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: Ford a broken bone in his ankle, actually stayed in

253
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 2: the game, threw a pass on the next play, did

254
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: a postgame interview, then the injury was identified in the

255
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: locker room. He is set for surgery on Tuesday, which

256
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: means Jared Stidham, who has taken exactly one snap this

257
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: season and it was a kneel down, will make his

258
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: first start since twenty twenty three on Sunday against the

259
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: Patriots with a spot in Super Bowl sixty on the line.

260
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Also big injury.

261
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: For the number one seed in the NFC, running back

262
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: Zach Charbonay sever Day torn acl in Seattle's win over

263
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. There was initial optimism from Mike

264
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: McDaniel after the game. McDonald rather that this was not

265
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: going to be something long term for Scharbonay. He underwent

266
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: additional tests. A long road ahead for Charboney. Charmoney. They're

267
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 2: gonna need all the Kenneth Walker the third that they

268
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: can get. This week they are going to be taking

269
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 2: on the La Rams, who managed to get a win

270
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: over the Chicago Bears.

271
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: Here's how it happened. Let's start late in the fourth quarter.

272
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: Bears turling seventeen to ten, twenty second, twenty seven seconds

273
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: left and one of the wildest players you'll ever see,

274
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: Kayleb Williams, back pedaling fifteen yards, throws up.

275
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: For Cole Komt, who somehow ends up wide open. It

276
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: did not look like a push off.

277
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: When you see it from another angle, that will show

278
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: you in just a little bit, look up our back

279
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: he goes.

280
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: You would not get away with this.

281
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: In Madden, Bears tied up at seventeen pandemonium.

282
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: At Soldier Field over time.

283
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: Now Rams go three and out on the opening drive,

284
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: which means the Bears just need a score to win

285
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: this game. Caleb Williams looking deep for DJ Moore on

286
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: this drive. Some miscommunication. It is a diving interception by

287
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: Cam Curl. Kili Williams thought the DJ Moore was gonna

288
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: come flat, went vertical instead. Curl with the play of

289
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: the day that sets up the ensuing Rams drive. Harrison Meavis,

290
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: the thicker Kicker, a hero forever in La in the cold.

291
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Twenty to seventeen. That is the final score.

292
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: Rams advanced to the NFC Championship Game. Our Stacy DALs

293
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: has been covering at upstart Bears team the entire season.

294
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: A lot to talk about out of this game, Stacy,

295
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: but let's start with what I told you before the show,

296
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: and I mean it the greatest sideline video I've ever seen.

297
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: We're allowed on the field in the final few seconds

298
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: minutes of regulation into overtime, a chance to get up

299
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: close and personal.

300
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Take me through how you got this shot and everything

301
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: that unfolded from your standpoint.

302
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 9: Well, Tom, it was wild.

303
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, Caleb, as you see Cole Kmett

304
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 10: come over here, former baseball player to actually said today

305
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 10: he used a little bit of his baseball.

306
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 9: Background in making that catch.

307
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 10: But you know, Caleb is going to make a hero

308
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 10: type play, and he loves to throw from.

309
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 9: The right to the left in the end zone. That's

310
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 9: where I threw it.

311
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 10: To Dj Moore on both occasions when they beat the Packers,

312
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 10: most recently in the playoffs and back in Week sixteen,

313
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 10: and I just kind of felt like that was a

314
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 10: good place to go. And when I saw the play

315
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 10: transpire and I saw Cole Comet wheel out, I thought,

316
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 10: you know what, this something special is about to happen here.

317
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 9: And Cole did a savvy job.

318
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 10: Of People think it was maybe a pass interference, but

319
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 10: they were kind of tussling with each other.

320
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 9: I didn't see pass interference.

321
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 10: I saw just a hell of a football play by

322
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 10: Caleb Williams, who has grown immensely and has matured immensely

323
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 10: this season, and one of his security blankets Cole Comett.

324
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: What a cool moment.

325
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: Caleb has had those moments at the end of games,

326
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the fourth quarter, in overtime virtually

327
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: the entire season. There's often at times has been bumpy

328
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: the rest of the game, and that Rams defense really

329
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: made life challenging on throughout the course that game.

330
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, they were really special to the extent that Sean

331
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 10: McVay when I asked him a question after the and

332
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 10: his press conference, just what impressed you about this group,

333
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 10: he said, they deserve the game ball, that entire unit,

334
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 10: but particularly when you look at Kobe Durant and the

335
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 10: two interceptions as we see them. One of the interceptions

336
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 10: and that was by Cameron Curl that really sealed this

337
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 10: game and allowed Matthew Stafford to play the chain game

338
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 10: and go down and the Rams.

339
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 9: To kick a field goal.

340
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 10: The ability to catch the ball in this weather, Tom,

341
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 10: it was so cold that the tips of your fingers

342
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 10: feel like they're burning.

343
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 9: That's how cold it was last night. Sean McVay alluded

344
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 9: to it.

345
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 10: And for them to catch this football on three separate

346
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 10: occasions as defensive backs, how hard that football gets in inclement, cold,

347
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 10: frigid temperatures.

348
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 9: That is the key.

349
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 10: And again I asked Sean McVay, what impressed you, because

350
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 10: Caleb Williams and the Bears were one of the best

351
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 10: teams in terms of not giving the football away this season.

352
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 10: And I said to him, it looked like you were

353
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 10: trying not to let Caleb Williams beat you. And that's

354
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 10: when he talked about the great week of preparation by

355
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 10: his defense. He said, tacked and schematically, the Bears put

356
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 10: so much pressure and stress on you as a defense

357
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 10: given what they're doing and what they had done offensively

358
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 10: this season, and that's why he said, they're the reason

359
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 10: we're going to the NFC Championship Game. Really cool that

360
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 10: it didn't have to be your offense, the best offense

361
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 10: in football, to win, but a defensive performance that really

362
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 10: I think took Caleb Williams to a different place in

363
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 10: terms of those interceptions.

364
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: I always appreciate Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay because when

365
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: things aren't the way they want them, they'll tell you,

366
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: they'll say it. And so I was struck by reading

367
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: the quotes today or Sean McVay is saying, I never

368
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: felt like I was in the rhythm of the game.

369
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: I thought I did some bad coaching. Matthew Stafford said

370
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: he never really felt comfortable. How do they get better

371
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: and go against another really tough defense, but also an

372
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: offense that can score some points?

373
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: In Seattle.

374
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, they know them well. Obviously, you know, Tom.

375
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 10: They split in the regular season, but the most recent

376
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 10: one obviously a one point overtime loss at Lumanfield in Seattle,

377
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 10: so theyre going to expect them to go down to

378
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 10: the wire. But Matthew Stafford, you talk about his performance

379
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 10: last night being literally.

380
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 9: Said I could do better, but playoff football is about

381
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 9: winning the football game.

382
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 10: He was twenty of forty two, two fifty eight no

383
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 10: passing touchdowns for the first game this season.

384
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 9: That is wild to me.

385
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 10: And he actually alluded to the notion that Dennis Allen

386
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 10: gave them a lot of credit. The Bears mix things

387
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 10: up so much defensively. We saw those defensive backs fly

388
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 10: off the edge up front in terms of the Blitz

389
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 10: got to Matthew Stafford a couple times, so it came

390
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 10: from coverage and the Bears I thought, actually had their

391
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 10: best defensive performance of the season.

392
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 9: Tom.

393
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 10: But I asked Matthew Stafford, what is it like going

394
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 10: back to Seattle, because you guys know each other so

395
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 10: well in an NFC championship opportunity for your team, and

396
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 10: he said, what a huge challenge. Obviously I just mentioned

397
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 10: the week sixteen loss in overtime, but he called it

398
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 10: a hell of a football game.

399
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 9: They're going to be going.

400
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 10: With their best a game possible in that vironment, as

401
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 10: he called it, perhaps, and they just came from Chicago,

402
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 10: perhaps the toughest place to play in the National Football League.

403
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 9: You know how loud it is.

404
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 10: Tom, I'll be headed there on Saturday, and we are

405
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 10: in store for quite an NFC championship with the NFC West.

406
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: Stacey, enjoy that one. Appreciate you as always the most impressive.

407
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: As cold as it was, you still manage to get

408
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 2: your thumb to turn on the phone and actually begin

409
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: recording that video. That right, there is somebody who lives

410
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: in this part of the country.

411
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 1: All right.

412
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: A lot more to come on this particular show here

413
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: as we get more into Championship Sunday, including how the

414
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: Broncos fare after a season ending injury to Bow Knicks.

415
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: Camp Wolf was at that game. He'll be back with

416
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: us to talk about Jared Stidham time.

417
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: For the Broncos.

418
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: We'll also get into the team that they'll be facing,

419
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots, who took it the CJ and

420
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: Scrouting Company in their AFC Divisional playoff game.

421
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: Judy Batista was there the night. She's here.

422
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 2: We're breaking it all down on the Insiders, presented by

423
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: Progressive Insure, Time.

424
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: Now for Good Coverage, presented by Progressive Insurance. Patriots had

425
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 3: four interceptions in their win Sunday over the Texans, which

426
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 3: tied for the most in a playoff game in franchise history.

427
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: Marcus Jones is the first Patriots player with a pick

428
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 3: six in a playoff game since two thousand and six,

429
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 3: and Carlton Davis is the first Patriots player with two

430
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 3: picks in a playoff game since two thy and thirteen.

431
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: I mention the Patriots sections, well, if you like ball

432
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 3: slipping all over the place, this was the game for you.

433
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 3: Drake May and the Patriots winters are fourteen or fifteen.

434
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: That guy right there, c J. Stroud, Yet we're gonna

435
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 3: be talking about him. Strout hit right there by calevon

436
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 3: chas On in the second quarter and there's Marcus Jones

437
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 3: rumblin twenty six yards for the touchdowns.

438
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: Ooh, this was a sign of things to come for CJ.

439
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: Shoud three minutes off in the first half, Drake May

440
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: tight win, Stefan Diggs hanging on for the touchdowns. Let's

441
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: take another look at this. I mean that is a

442
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 3: sweet grab with Jalen Reed all over him. Patriots up

443
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen out third quarter from.

444
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: The Houston thirty two.

445
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: That is Drake made for case Sean Booty thirty two

446
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: yard touchdowns.

447
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 4: He has two hands, he only needs one.

448
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 3: Patriots roll on twenty eight to sixteen and they are

449
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 3: in the AFC Title Game against the Denver Broncos. Ooh,

450
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: that was quite a win for the New England Patriots

451
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: facing a hot, hot Houston Texans defense, which Bald no

452
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: doubt about it. But we are left this game. Judbt

453
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: still welcome back in here. Talking about CJ. Stroud.

454
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 4: What do we make of CJ.

455
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: Stroud and that mistake filled playoff game for the text, Well.

456
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 5: It wasn't just this playoff game, it was the previous

457
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 5: one too, where he had so much trouble holding onto

458
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 5: the ball, he had so many fumbles. The performance in

459
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 5: the playoffs has to be concerning to the Houston Texans.

460
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 5: I mean, he certainly wasn't this bad during the regular season.

461
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 5: I think the bigger picture, and this is something that

462
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 5: Troy Aikman alluded to during the broadcast, is He doesn't

463
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 5: look like the same quarterback he was in his rookie

464
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 5: season when he was the offensive Rookie of the year.

465
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 5: He just doesn't look as decisive, he doesn't look as comfortable.

466
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 5: He's not progressing, he's not getting better. That has to

467
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 5: be a concerned big picture for the Texans going forward.

468
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 5: This is supposed to be their franchise quarterback. As you

469
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 5: pointed out, he is due for an extension. He is

470
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 5: eligible for an extension, and the Texans are going to

471
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 5: have to make a decision on how to proceed with that.

472
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 5: But I think more importantly they have to figure out

473
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 5: why he is not getting better and why he struggled

474
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 5: so dramatically in the playoffs, and what they have to

475
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 5: do to address that. Certainly wasn't all his fault. His

476
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 5: offensive line needs to be helped. They need a better

477
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 5: running game. Some of his receivers were out of the

478
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 5: game yesterday, but certainly CJ. Stroud it needs to be

479
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 5: fixed whatever it is that is bothering him.

480
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Tamika Ryans was asked today about the

481
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 3: future of Nick Kela, the offensive coordinator.

482
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 4: Did not go into detail there, so we will be

483
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 4: keeping her eye on that. One.

484
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the fixed, clearly talented guy you'd like to

485
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 3: get the most out of him. Patriots are pretty talented.

486
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 3: They got the most out of a lot of things.

487
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: What do we make of the Patriots going forward into

488
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: the AFC title game again.

489
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, this reminded me a whole lot

490
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 5: of previous Patriots teams because they play with a little

491
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 5: bit of a chip on their shoulder, Like they were

492
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 5: annoyed that the Texans defense was getting so much attention

493
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 5: last week as being like this historically great defense. They

494
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 5: were like, wait a minute, we're really awesome too. I

495
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 5: mean they said it out loud. They were mad that

496
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 5: so many pundits were picking the Houston Texans. So that

497
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 5: reminded me of old Patriots teams, where they always found

498
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 5: something to be upset about and something to rally around.

499
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 5: Having said that, Drake May had trouble holding onto the football,

500
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 5: let's be fair. The weather conditions were terrible for both teams,

501
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 5: and both teams struggled through them. But he had fumbling issues.

502
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 5: He had an interception. Again, I think what you have

503
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 5: to like about Drake May going forward, and he's going

504
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 5: to face another very very difficult defense in Denver. You

505
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: like that he doesn't get rattled by his own mistakes.

506
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 5: He is really resilient. He comes back and throws those

507
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 5: incredible touchdown passes that we showed you before. That is

508
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,239
Speaker 5: why he is the franchise quarterback. That is why they

509
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 5: are so confident in Drake May and just his second

510
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: hear and why they're in the AFC Championship Game.

511
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: New today, The Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott this morning,

512
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 2: two days after a heartbreaking playoff exit against the Broncos.

513
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: Including playoffs, McDermott won one hundred and six games over

514
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 2: nine seasons in Buffalo, made the playoffs eight times, but

515
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: did not reach a Super Bowl. So McDermott now becomes

516
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: one of the top head coaching candidates available, while Buffalo

517
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 2: begins its first coaching search since it hired McDermott back

518
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. I mean, while the Dolphins have now

519
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 2: agreed terms with their new head coach, Jeff Halfley, on

520
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: a five year contract that reported Saturday, Halfley, the Packers'

521
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, was a front runner for the job. Ll

522
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: everybody away in his initial interview flew in Sunday was

523
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: in the building today and they did not let him leave.

524
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: Half Lee. The new man in Miami, Judy.

525
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 5: John Harbaugh is finally going to be formally introduced as

526
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 5: the new head coach of the New York Giants tomorrow.

527
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: The Giants just posted this video not long ago of

528
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 5: him getting the grand tour that is general manager Joe Shane.

529
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 5: This hire also means there's going to be a new

530
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 5: organizational structure for the Giants, and I think there's probably

531
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 5: going to be a lot of questions about how those

532
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 5: two gentlemen are going to work together and what Harbaugh

533
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 5: thinks he can do to get this team to the

534
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 5: playoffs this season, which he has told various local news

535
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 5: outlets that he thinks they will be doing. Fans are

536
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 5: really excited about this, as they are in Atlanta about

537
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 5: this news that the Atlanta Falcons are hiring Kevin Stefanski

538
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 5: to be their next head coach. This is Matt Ryan's

539
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 5: first hire. They are still looking for a general manager. Stefanski,

540
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 5: a former two time Coach of the Year, is going

541
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: to be introduced next week, but he was one of

542
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 5: the big candidates this cycle and Atlanta reeled him in.

543
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 5: He inherits a lot of talent on that roster and

544
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 5: a team that is just not that far away in

545
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 5: that division. They lost the division this year on a tiebreaker,

546
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 5: so they are in a very good position for a

547
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: quick turnaround with Kevin Stefanski.

548
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 4: This team right here is not making a coach you move.

549
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: The Green Bay Packers and head coach Malifour agreed to

550
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 3: terms over the weekend. According to our good friend Tom

551
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 3: Pellis aaron I remote the year contract extension, no move,

552
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: no vacancy, no coach trade, No Malaflor is not going

553
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: anywhere ed policy. The new Packers CEO Smartley decided, I

554
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 3: got a good coach. I'm going to keep them excellent news.

555
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: If you are a Packers fan, you want to keep

556
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 3: this thing rolling. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions have a new

557
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 3: person to keep their offense rolling.

558
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 4: Is is that guy right there?

559
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 3: Drew Petsing, the former Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator, kept their

560
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 3: offense going, despiting him having a backup quarterback for most

561
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 3: of the season. Pettsinggen under the radar name, but the

562
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: choice for Dan Campbell to get their offense on the

563
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: right track after a tough and somewhat weird year in Detroit.

564
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: Tom new offensive coordinator in Kansas City lot like the

565
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: old offensive coordinator in Kansas City. All signs pointing to

566
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs bringing back Eric b. Enemy as their OC.

567
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 2: The Enemy spent this season the running backs coach in

568
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: Chicago or Kamonnung guy was a breakout star. Decides still

569
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: need to work through a contract, I'm told, But with

570
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: Matt Nagy out of contract and interviewing for head coaching jobs,

571
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 2: Andy Reid bringing back one of his most trusted assistants

572
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 2: and a guy who certainly played a role in the

573
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: success of that team and the development of quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

574
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 2: Bill's Broncos for a spot in the AFC Championship game.

575
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: Bill's won the toss after a Denver three and out

576
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: after a chance to win it with a field goal,

577
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 2: Josh Allen airing it out in overtime looks like a

578
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: great catch by ja Kwan McMillan, but instead notes jaqwon

579
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: McMillan's actually the dB. I knew that struggling a little

580
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: bit reading the shot sheet right here, taking out the

581
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: look Cooks that's Brandon Cooks initially had at McMillan, rips

582
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: it out unbelievable defensive play, though the Bills and Seaw

583
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,719
Speaker 2: mc McDermott not real happy that's the way that it

584
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: was ruled. Ensuing Broncos possession. Field goal wins it first

585
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: and ten from the Buffalo thirty eight. Bo Nick's right here,

586
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: running to his left trying to make a cut. He

587
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: goes down, suffers an injury that ends up being a

588
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: season ending break in his ankle.

589
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: He'll undergo surgery on Tuesday. Stayed in for the.

590
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: Next play, throwing it deep to Marvin Bimms Junior for

591
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: Davius White. Another controversial call that's a defensive pass interference.

592
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: White absolutely lost his mind through his helmet. Got a

593
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: penalty that didn't make much of a difference, just a

594
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: couple of extra yards because that set up the field

595
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: goal attempt for Will Lutz. The kick is up from

596
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: twenty three yards, is good. Broncos win thirty three to thirty.

597
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: Go on to the.

598
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: AFC Championship game. As we welcome in our Cameron Wolf,

599
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: who is at that game.

600
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: We already know Cam.

601
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: The fallout for the Bills, the firing of Sean McDermott

602
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: this morning. Now you got a Broncos team that has

603
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: the fallout of their starting quarterback is not available. Take

604
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: me through that news and how they feel about Jared

605
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: Steadam going up against the Patriots this week.

606
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 6: Tom the most unique emotion post game I've had in

607
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 6: my career. You see Broncos players still cheering, celebrating with

608
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 6: family in the tunnel after the win. They're going to

609
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 6: the AFC Championship game, and some of them are informed

610
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 6: by US reporters. Did you see both Nix's out for

611
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 6: the season. To see faces change. I'm talking to Pats

612
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 6: or Tan maybe their best player, who's face drops like

613
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 6: wait what? And you think about the emotions of your

614
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 6: quarterback led you out here.

615
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: And then it changes.

616
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 6: Obviously we learn he's out for the season with the

617
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 6: broken ankle, and Garrett Bowles tackle simply says we're going

618
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 6: to be all right.

619
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 4: Stiddy's got us.

620
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 6: People have doubted us for many years and now we

621
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 6: want them to keep talking. And Jared Stidham's going to

622
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 6: get a lot of eyeballs this week. But I'll tell

623
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 6: you this, Sean Payton loves the guy. He was a

624
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 6: priority for them to sign in March and free agency,

625
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 6: and he actually beat out the New England Patriots to

626
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 6: sign him. Mike Verbeltow reporters today he calls to them's agent.

627
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 6: They talked about him potentially being a backup there because

628
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 6: he liked this decisiveness, he liked his accuracy and really

629
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 6: seeing things well with his athleticism, and so Stidam's going

630
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 6: to get an opportunity. But he hasn't thrown a regular

631
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 6: season pass in two years. And this Broncos team was

632
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 6: led by his defense. They want this game on their shoulders.

633
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 6: They wanted them to do what he does. But this

634
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 6: is a Broncos defense led by Van s Joseph that

635
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 6: thinks that that pressure he can get after the Patriots.

636
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 6: They think that they can cover the Patriots, and they

637
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 6: are not just throwing up their cards because they have

638
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 6: a backup. Sir Tan told me, look, this is our moment.

639
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 6: We can handle more of this on defense. We feel

640
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 6: great about this and we're dangerous because we have so

641
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 6: much more room to grow. And so the Broncos aren't

642
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 6: saying woe is me. They think they can still beat

643
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 6: the Patriots with jareds did it at quarterback.

644
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: Last meaningful snaps for Jared Stidham twenty twenty three, when

645
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: he started the final two games after the benching of

646
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson in Denver, It's not get more meaningful than

647
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: starting in the AFC Championship game, which is now just

648
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: six days away. Flip side of this cam, We've obviously

649
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: seen Josh Allen, the raining NFL MVP, make big plays

650
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: in big moments.

651
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: So many times.

652
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: There were big mistakes in big moments, none bigger than

653
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: the fumble right before halftime that gave Denver.

654
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: An extra three points.

655
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: What did you see and hear from Josh Allen and

656
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: those around him in Denver?

657
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 6: The heaviness in that locker room. It felt like a funeral.

658
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 6: It felt like the end of a run. And we

659
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 6: see Sean McDermott's obviously out there, but we've seen the

660
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 6: press conference video of Josh Allen crying at the podium

661
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 6: that continued into the locker room. There was passionate hugs

662
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 6: from players there. It felt like a mourning of this

663
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 6: was our opportunity. We look around. We didn't have a

664
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes, a Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson the playoffs and we.

665
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 4: Couldn't get it done.

666
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 6: And Brandon Cook says something that I think defined the

667
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 6: locker room after he said, we wish we could have

668
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 6: alleviated some of that pressure off him, because when we

669
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 6: see him and know the pressure on him, that's when

670
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 6: things get forced. And look, Josh Allen did not play

671
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 6: well in that game, four turnovers, not his best day.

672
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 6: Usually they win with him, they lose even when he

673
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 6: plays well. This wasn't his best day. But the pressure

674
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 6: is a conversation that a lot of the talk and

675
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 6: the bills going forward. How do we alleviate the pressure

676
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 6: to where he doesn't feel like he has to be superman.

677
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 6: I know he's going to take things extremely hard going forward,

678
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 6: and those players, including Dion Dawkins who cried at the

679
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 6: idea that the quarterback thought he let his team down,

680
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 6: is going to have an extra energy at extra onus

681
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 6: to get over that man from good to.

682
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 4: Greed Seahawks forty nine ers Divisional Round.

683
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: Who's some questions actually going in whether or not Sam

684
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: Donald will play dealing with the no bleak?

685
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: He played?

686
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 8: So did Rashid Shahed?

687
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 4: Do not kick it to this man? Break it away?

688
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: He gone?

689
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 3: Seahawks trading him because he's so fast. Look how fast

690
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 3: he is off to a big start. Seven to nothing

691
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 3: Seattle and they would roll from there. Later in the

692
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 3: first quarter, up ten nothing, Sam Donald Rose left JSN

693
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 3: for a four yard touchdown. Seahawks now up seventeen to nothing.

694
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: Donald is pumped, as is the rest of the team.

695
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: That's a lot of emotion for Sam donald by the way,

696
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: third quarter, twenty seven six forty nine Ers trailing block party,

697
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: tons of time, tons of time looking for Luke Farrell.

698
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 4: Intercepted by friend of the program Ernest.

699
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: Jones, the fourth the outspoken Ernest Jones, Man, this was

700
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 3: not the nine Ers day, ken Walker. The finishing touches

701
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: on this game. Fifteen yard touchdown, Seahawks go up forty

702
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 3: one to six. It's done.

703
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 4: Let's check it on the Seahawks locker room.

704
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 8: A man, same time next week.

705
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: Man, Look, it's funny. It's like, yeah, we're celebrating, but

706
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: it's like we're on to the next one.

707
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 7: If we're on to the breaking the next one.

708
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, gets on to the next one.

709
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what though, Understand why fellas, understand why

710
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 7: we won the game.

711
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: You stacked plays.

712
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 8: It started with a ninety five.

713
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: Yard what are you going to work?

714
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 3: Man?

715
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: Marble three?

716
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 6: Two?

717
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 3: Pretty good, pretty good, Seattle group right there. Dominating performance.

718
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 3: They've kind of been dominating all year. Mark Ross, welcome

719
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 3: back inside here. Let's talk about the Seahawks dominance. You

720
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 3: watch the game, you saw the highlight. You know more

721
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 3: about it than anyone. Give me the easy answer. Why

722
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 3: is Seattle so good?

723
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 7: Well, the coach there said, stack plays, and it's because

724
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 7: they got a stacked roster in and when you look

725
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 7: at their position group, all on the both sides of

726
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 7: the ball, you can highlight guys, but then you just

727
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 7: have to name all twenty two that start.

728
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 8: And then you got a kick returner in midseason with

729
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 8: the trade.

730
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 7: So you really have to give John Schneider the GM

731
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 7: an unbelievable amount of credit because he's absolutely crushed the

732
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 7: draft with impact players. He absolutely has crushed free agency

733
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 7: with impact player. He absolutely crushed the trade deadline with

734
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 7: picking up a guy like this to be the final piece.

735
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 7: So when you look at Seattle and how they were constructed,

736
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 7: it's just a lot of young, talented guys, and then

737
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 7: you get impact players in free agency as well, and

738
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 7: the signing of Sam Darnald brought it all together. You know,

739
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 7: it still was some risks although Sam Darnold played well

740
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 7: last year. The last couple of games in Minnesota didn't

741
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 7: go the way they want it, but to step out

742
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 7: and give him that money, it really showed his faith that, like,

743
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 7: I know how to evaluate this guy, and he's put

744
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 7: it all together.

745
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 8: This is scary team, and I'm.

746
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: Scary how well everything has worked out thus far. I mean, now,

747
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: I don't know where the weakness is. It's somewhere in there,

748
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: but I don't know where it is. So let me

749
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: ask you this Mark, Can this team keep it up?

750
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: I mean, is this the team that's going to go

751
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 3: to the Shope Bowl?

752
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: You know?

753
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 8: I think it is.

754
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 7: A few weeks ago we were talking about there's no

755
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 7: favorite like a New England or a Kansas City over

756
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 7: the last few years, but now it seems to be Seattle.

757
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 7: But really, this next game against the Rams is what

758
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 7: everybody wanted to their first two games this year, Razor Razor,

759
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 7: thin margin as far as points and yards and the

760
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 7: outcome at the end of the game. So I think

761
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 7: everybody wanted this to transpire. I think the Rams are

762
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 7: the second best team with that explosive offense, and overall

763
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 7: it should be another classic game.

764
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 8: But yes, I'm going to pick Seattle to take it

765
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 8: all away.

766
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 2: The firing of Sean mcgermott in Buffalo and the hiring

767
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: of Jeff Hafley in Miami means we end the day

768
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: with the same number we started with, seven head coach

769
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: vacancies across the NFL. Welcome Back to the Insiders, presented

770
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 2: by Progressive Insurance Tom Pillicero job by Judy Matista, who

771
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: continues to update her rankings of the top head coaching

772
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 2: jobs available. Judy, every couple of days, you got to

773
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: shuffle this list. Where does the Bills opening fit.

774
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: In for you?

775
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 5: They are with the Ravens like one A and one

776
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 5: B sort of depending on what factors you're thinking about, but.

777
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 4: They're right up there.

778
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 5: And obviously the number one reason is you get to

779
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 5: work with Josh Allen if you get this job, just

780
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 5: like if you got the Ravens job, you would get

781
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 5: to work with Lamar Jackson. Actually, in some ways, the

782
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 5: Bill's job in that respect is better because he's under contract.

783
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 5: There's no concerns there about what the future might be. Obviously,

784
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 5: the Ravens have to work on Lamar's extension coming up,

785
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 5: so that's maybe clouding the situation a little bit. I

786
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 5: would give the Ravens the edge just organizationally, I think

787
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 5: the roster is better right now. The organization has a

788
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 5: long hit free, you know, of producing and keeping a

789
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 5: strong roster and going to the playoffs. And the Bills

790
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 5: have been really, really successful with Sean McDermott as the

791
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 5: head coach, but you haven't really seen that kind of

792
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 5: success without Sean McDermott. So now we have to see

793
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 5: how they are going forward. But again one A and

794
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 5: one B, like, imagine how what the coaches must think

795
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 5: when a job that allows you to coach Josh Allen

796
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 5: in his prime years comes open. You would think everybody

797
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 5: is rushing to the Buffalo Bill's door. And then you know,

798
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 5: we'll wait to see what the other hires look like.

799
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 5: But the Pittsburgh Steelers are still really high up on

800
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 5: the list too, because it's one of the great organizations

801
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 5: in all of professional sports, incredibly patient and supportive ownership.

802
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 5: They of course do not have a quarterback, which is

803
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 5: why they are not even higher on the list, but

804
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 5: they have they are a blue blood franchise, So the

805
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers are still way up there on the list.

806
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: Two teams with former NFL MVP quarterbacks have can see

807
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 2: so does a team that if you get the job,

808
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: you're probably going to be there for fifteen to twenty years.

809
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 2: And oh yeah, you also have won in the Raiders

810
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: who have a chance to maybe draft a certain quarterback

811
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: who's played in a certain game.

812
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: That's definitely not on this channel tonight.

813
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 11: If you want to hear more about the NFL, snick

814

Speaker 11: including a look again at an AFC championship that kind

816
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 11: of mirrors an NFC championship.

817
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: In Super Bowl some years ago.

Speaker 2: champion dignity, empathy, and a commitment to our shared humanity.

832
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: Bodex out for the season for the Denver Broncos. That

833
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: means we're going to get Jared Stidham against the Patriots

834
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: on Sunday. Nick Foles chiming in and for no reason

835
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 2: at all saying yes he feels for bo YadA, YadA, YadA,

836
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 2: But it all was a setup for him to write

837
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 2: a positive note going into the game versus the Patriots

838
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 2: is that they struggle against backup qbs in championship type games. Judy,

839
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 2: your thoughts on Nick Foles continuing to dance on this

840
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 2: now a full eight years after.

841
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: That Super Bowl went over the Patriots in Minneapolis.

842
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 5: It is fantastic because Nick Foles has such like a

843
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 5: pleasant exterior. You're just thinking, like, this is the nicest

844
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 5: man ever, and then he just every so often comes

845
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 5: right at them.

846
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: It's fantastic.

847
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 9: Love it, Nick Foles.

848
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 4: So that's a really high stakes tweet. I mean, that's

849
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 4: a bold joke against the Patriots.

850
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 3: If it falls flat, there's really no he'd have to

851
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 3: delete his account. I wonder how many people who ran

852
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: it by crushed it, no doubt about it, and the

853
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 3: fact that they got so many retweets certainly brought Nick

854
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 3: Foles back to the forefront. You gotta love Nick Foles.

855
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 3: Also got rich from the Jaguars, so there was that

856
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 3: as all time.

857
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: Well, we also know that Tom Brady for years was

858
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: not really a huge fan of Foles. After that, there

859
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 2: there was something a little bit one maybe the greatest

860
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 2: of all time.

861
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: You got to fuck he's joking about it, at least now.

862
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: Right now he's at the National Championship Game checking out

863
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza.

864
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: Raiders have a number one pick. A lot of fun

865
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 1: to come. Hey, you see tomorrow
