1
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: The Chiefs and Lions are back from the by. They

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: are healthier than they've been in months. But is there

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: a vulnerability for both these teams entering Saturday's divisional playoffs.

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Our guys Jeffrey Chidia and Adam Rank will tell you

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: how somebody could topple the number one seats. The first

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: role playing the Egles on the Road is don't insult

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: Philly fans in advance. The second role to play in

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles on the Road is don't insult Philly fans

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: in advance. The third rule, okay, get it show to

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: say Juan Barkley, here what the two thousand yard man

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: had to say about a barb from La. I mean,

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: while a Monster matchup on Sunday night in Buffalo, a

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: game so big even Ed Reid might want to get

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: out there and lateral to Dion Sanders again, Okay, that's

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: not playing. He's like forty six years old, but he

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: is going to join us on the Insiders to show

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: that requires a similar level of physical fitness. Welcome in

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Died with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafalo.

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: I am Tom Pelicero. It is the eve of what

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: many consider the greatest weekend in football, Divisional playoff weekend. Well,

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: if Zane Gonzalez, the Commander's Kicker, joining the show, we

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: will talk about all these matchups coming up this weekend.

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: Let's start out with one guy who's probably not gonna

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: make it. That is Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers, seen

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: here in video from practice giving Brandy Chastain a run

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: for her money. He's officially listed as doubtful because of

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: that need that he banged up a couple of weeks ago.

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Ian's been on this told you a couple of days

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: ago that he was a long shot to play. John

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: Harbust still saying he has a chance. It is a

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: night game, so they've still got forty eight hours or so,

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: but it seems like once again the Ravens likely without

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: their star wide receiver. The Texans also have a notable injury,

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: running back Joe Mixon officially listed as questionable for their game,

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: the kicks off Divisional playoff weekend tomorrow afternoon against the Chiefs.

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: He's had that ankle for most of the season. In

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: the in and out of the lineup, he's gotten a

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: couple of hip drop tackles that have not helped matters

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: here listed as questionable, though again from Ian sounds like

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: that's trending toward Joe Mixon being able to play. Check

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: out the full divisional round schedule. It all kicks off

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon. It is the Texans at the Chiefs,

43
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: followed by primetime in Motown, Commanders at Lions. Sunday, you

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: got the Rams at the Eagles, and that all wraps

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: up with the Ravens at the Bills. On the other

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: side of the coin, there are six teams that right

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: now missed the playoffs and need a head coach. There's

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: some of the interviews that happened earlier today, the Jets,

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: who are approaching the twenty mark of interviews, speaking with

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, Josh McCown, Jeff Halfley, the Cowboys. That's a

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: notable one, with Kellen Moore coming in more on that momentarily.

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: Here the Saints revived their search. They had not done

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: any interviews in a week. Jaguars, Bears, and Raiders all

54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: active as well. Rappidport. Where do you want to start here?

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: Let's start talking about the Dallas Cowboys and kind of

56
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: where they are in the search. Obviously, they interviewed Kellen

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: Moore today. That was a virtual interview. Kellen Moore considered

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: to be, let's say, a top candidate with the Dallas Cowboys,

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: known well former offensive coordinator.

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: There.

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: They have Robert Saalad in person tomorrow and then as

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: you reported, Tom Leslie Fraser in person on Monday, which

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: would mean theoretically after Monday, the Cowboys could hire someone

64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: if they wanted. My sense though this is going to

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: take some time. They do believe that they don't have

66
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: to be in a rush. It could be a sort

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: of more methodical search, might even be.

68
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: The last one done.

69
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: We will see.

70
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: So that is one search. Let's go to the Jacksonville

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: Jaguars now. They've interviewed eight candidates, including most recently Brian

72
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: Flores interviewed with them.

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: I Todd Monkin recently interviewed with them.

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: A couple of names to watch though, I would say

75
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn and Ben Jonson both considered to be very

76
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: high up as far as where the Jaguars go and

77
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: what they like. Usually it's a big expansive lists for

78
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: Jacksonville guys this time and is not much more targeted. Still,

79
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: several top ca for what should be a really, really

80
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: attractive job.

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of coaching searches that are taking a while and

82
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: taking their time, the New York Jets they interviewed three

83
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: candidates today, Brian Flores, the Vikings defensive coordinator, Jeff Halfley,

84
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: the Packers defensive coordinator, and Josh McCown, the quarterbacks coach

85
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: for the Minnesota Vikings, a former Jet and a guy

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: that has garnered some head coaching experience even before he

87
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: was an assistant coach in the NFL. So there's a

88
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: lot of thought that maybe one of those two Vikings

89
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: guys could come paired with Ryan Grigson, who was interviewed

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: for the general manager job previously. So we shall see

91
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: how this all falls for the Jets as they start

92
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: to get into the second phase eventually of their coaching

93
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 3: and general manager search. Meanwhile, the Raiders interviewing Ron Rivera today.

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 3: They've had Vance Joseph, the defensive coordinator from Denver on

95
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: the radar in the immediate future here as well as

96
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: Robert Salah. We're starting to see some overlap between these

97
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: teams and who is being interviewed as we really have

98
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: been stacking names for some of these head coaching searches.

99
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: So the Raiders, there you go.

100
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 5: Five.

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: They have completed five so far from the head coaching vagacy.

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: That number expected to grow. Bears have had a lot

103
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: more than that, and they're still not done. We mentioned

104
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: Todd Monkin interviewed with the Bears. That interview wrapped up

105
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: within the past hour. Here, they've still got a couple more. Tomorrow.

106
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Brian Flores is going to speak with the Bears about

107
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: their opening. So is the Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenovich.

108
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: His first head coaching interview for Chicago. Again, to this point,

109
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: they've had time and they have utilized it. I would

110
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: anticipate the Lion's offensive coordinator Ben Johnson remains a strong

111
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: candidate for that position. There are still others that they

112
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: have not been able to speak to that they're interested in,

113
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: including Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman, who's got a pretty

114
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: big game at least by college football standards, coming up

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: on Monday night. And then Mike McCarthy's interview this week.

116
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: The fact that they flew McCarthy and his wife in

117
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: for that interview. They know him well. He has beaten

118
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: the Bears more times than anybody else during McCarthy's eighteen

119
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: years as an NFL head coach still several different options

120
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: in terms of the direction that they should go. In

121
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: terms of the Saints, I mentioned they had not done

122
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: an interview in a week before they got going again

123
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: with a couple of interviews earlier. Today, when you speak

124
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: to people, and we've been reporting this for months, when

125
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: you talk about what the Saints are going to do,

126
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: they probably not necessarily they are interviewing other people, but

127
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: they're probably going to lean toward somebody that they know.

128
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: One name that keeps coming up over and over is

129
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn. He was an assistant coach there. Certainly there's

130
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of ties to that building. He was the

131
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: runner up back a few years ago when they hired

132
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen for the job. Right now, you would say

133
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn is one of, if not the top candidate

134
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: for that job. But I would also mention Mike McCarthy.

135
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: My understanding is he'll probably interview with the Saints sometime

136
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: around the middle of next week. That might be around

137
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: where they kind of are moving into the next phase.

138
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: Because also remember this, no in person interviews with anybody

139
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: currently under contract until next week, and so all of

140
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: a sudden, come Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, that's when you're going

141
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: to see more candidates becoming available for those types of opportunities.

142
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: We did get a general manager hire earlier today, Mike Borgonzi,

143
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: in the same photo that I've seen used on every

144
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: single tweet, including my own, officially hired as the general

145
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: manager of the Tennessee Titans. They moved swiftly after firing

146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: Ran Carthon last week. Had six executives in the building

147
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: the past few days. Here settled on Mike Borganzi, longtime

148
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs executive, most recently assistant general manager, was part of

149
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: three Super Bowl champion teams, and now what do you know,

150
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: He's at the other end of the draft order for

151
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: where the Chiefs have been in the past. The Tennessee

152
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: Titans on the clock with the number one overall pick

153
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: on Ian. I'm just taking a guest they do need

154
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback. The question will become, do you take one

155
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: there or do you use that to turn into a

156
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: bounty to try to rebuild the rest of the roster.

157
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 6: Man.

158
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: I imagine we'll probably spend a couple of minutes talking

159
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: about this over the course of the next four month

160
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: or so. But Mike Borgonzi, who has been a key

161
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: lieutenant to Brett Beach in Kansas City for some time,

162
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: really helped build up what has become a dynasty, helped you,

163
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: among other things, draft Patrick Mahomes, and of course that

164
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: has helped the Chiefs get where they are. I mean,

165
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: this was a guy who was right hand man to

166
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: Beach in every meeting, in on every decision, someone who

167
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: is very well versed in so many different facets of

168
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: how to build that program. So when it works as

169
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: hard as anyone, one of the reasons of why the

170
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: Titans ended up hiring him. But you right, I mean,

171
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: this is the big decision that faces the Titans. Now,

172
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: do you take one of these quarterbacks? Are they good enough?

173
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: Any of them?

174
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: Cam Ward shador standers to go number one, to go

175
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: number two? Do you take all of that, trade it

176
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: and build your franchise that way? We've seen it both ways.

177
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: It is an absolutely monumental decision for the Titans, and

178
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: now Borgonzi is going to play a huge, huge part

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: of that.

180
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 3: And as a ripple effect on this one too for

181
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: the New York Jets, who Borganzhi was in the mix

182
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: there as a candidate for them in Florham Park, and

183
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 3: we thought, well, if he gets the GM job, that

184
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: might affect who the head coach is. They're looking for

185
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: a pairing, they're looking for a good working relationship between

186
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: the general manager and the head coach. So Matt Naggy,

187
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: Steve Spagnolo, two guys with the Chiefs who were candidates

188
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 3: for the Jets who have already interviewed. The thought was,

189
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: while you pair them with Borgonzi, so that could have

190
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: an effect on how they now go throughout their head

191
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: coaching search. Beyond this we shall see. But Borganzhi a

192
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: guy that you always hear in golf, the best player

193
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: to never win a major. This was the guy that everybody. Eventually,

194
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: this guy's going to get a general manager job, and

195
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: that is Today is the day.

196
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: We also had big news on the international front. Once again,

197
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: the NFL is now headed to Madrid, Spain. I don't

198
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: mean once again they're headed to Madrid. I mean once

199
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: again we have big news. Because it feels like we've

200
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: got one of these announcements every few days. The Dolphins

201
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: are going to be the team that is the designated

202
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: host team for that game in Madrid. The exact time

203
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: date an opponent to be the termin That now brings

204
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: us to a slate of five international games that are scheduled,

205
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: three in London, one in Berlin, one in Madrid, and

206
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: they are still allowed to schedule up to three more.

207
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: So stay tuned for more of these announcements that I

208
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: sort of butcher. Meanwhile, one of the reasons that they

209
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: can expand that slate is the possibility of eventually going

210
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: to an eighteen game schedule, something Rodger Goodell addressed earlier today.

211
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 7: If we continue to focus on the safety, I think

212
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 7: eighteen is a potential, And as you know, we would

213
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 7: take a preseason game away, so we would keep within

214
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 7: that twenty game framework. We actually started fourteen and six preseasons,

215
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 7: we went to sixteen and four and now seventeen and three,

216
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 7: so eighteen and two is a logical step.

217
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 8: But we would only do that with the players.

218
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show. We told you Patrick Mahomes,

219
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, they are both back from the Bible. Will

220
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: they hit the ground running where you have that little

221
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: post by hangover, we'll discuss that in a little bit.

222
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: Plus coming up right after this, Ed Reid is a

223
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer He is a Ravens legend who's a

224
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: man who loves to walk out of smoky tunnels. And

225
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: he's also going to be a guest on The Insiders

226
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: to tell you the path for the Ravens to pull

227
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: off the upset in Buffalo. Stick around Ed Reid with

228
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: us next on the Insiders.

229
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: Step that Ed Reid.

230
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: This guy is the complete football point Ed Reid.

231
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: Is one of the great safeties in the game.

232
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 9: You gotta want to wait.

233
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: Let's time for the defense to make you play.

234
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 8: That's rety the best defensive.

235
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 6: Players, and there is coming up with the big play.

236
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 10: If we want to win a tepid tip, he time of.

237
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 9: Gon't get him right now.

238
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: Take a look at that resume right there. It speaks

239
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 3: for itself. So does his play on the field. If

240
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: you got the chance to watch him play, and we

241
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 3: all did, and we were all grateful for that Ed

242
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: Reid Hall of Fame safety right.

243
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 11: There and right here with us on the Insiders. Ed

244
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 11: Reid joining us right now from his home. He was

245
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 11: beatbox and just now from his home. As a whole

246
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 11: rap about him being at his home, I was walking

247
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 11: out to it. It was amazing. Judy Batista would not

248
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 11: miss this interview for the world. She joins us as well.

249
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,680

253
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 11: You're working for a direct TV. You do it a

254
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 11: But are you ever not busy?

255
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: Ed Reid?

256
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 6: No, Actually I've been busy since I retired with Mini

00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 6: Hatch Mike. Man.

258
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 10: You know, thank God for the blessings. You know that

259
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 10: work is still coming, you know, So I'm blessed.

260
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 6: Man.

261
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 5: I guess we should say congratulations. Just named the offensive

262
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: coordinator at Champley High School in Georgia, which is where

263
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 5: Ed Reid the Third happens to play football too. I mean,

264
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: you're a Hall of Famer as a safety and now

265
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 5: you're an offensive coordinator. Like, what's the first thing you're

266
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 5: going to tell your quarterback at Chambley High School?

267
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 6: Oh? Wow, take what they give you.

268
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,239
Speaker 10: What they give you, baby. You know it's not very complicated.

269
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 10: But yeah, I would definitely be in his head just

270
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 10: keeping him positive, you know, and letting me know what

271
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 10: to look for, what to read and go from there.

272
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I hear the news. You say, a ed

273
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 3: reads the coordinator at the high school, and you think

274
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: our defensive coordinators of safety his entire career. He had

275
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: a brief stint in the NFL as a defensive coach.

276
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 3: How do you get to the offensive side of the ball?

277
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 6: I mean that?

278
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: Is that like joining the dark side for a guy

279
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 3: who just terroorized offensive during his career.

280
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 6: It's almost like Iteah, I like that.

281
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 10: I like that, But I studied I studied those guys,

282
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 10: you know, my whole career.

283
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 6: I studied offense my whole career.

284
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 10: And you know, this is high school, so it's a

285
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 10: little bit more basic than college and pros. You know, though,

286
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 10: you know that that's not really a discouragement or anything

287
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 10: to to the level.

288
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 6: Was just that you're not doing a whole bunch more.

289
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 6: That's what I'm getting to, you know.

290
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 10: But I've studied offense my whole career, you know, so

291
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 10: I know offense.

292
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 6: You know.

293
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 10: It's just a matter of getting in there talking with

294
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 10: my coaches, you know, and us partnering together and making

295
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 10: sure we got the game play and that stooits our

296
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 10: players because we're only going to be as good as

297
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 10: the players that we have, you know, and those guys

298
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 10: you know, going to predict on what we can do.

299
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: So to say, all right, we're showing video right now

300
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 5: of you absolutely making quarterbacks lives miserable. You are third

301
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 5: all time on the interceptions list including playoffs, I think

302
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 5: seventy three. You just terrorized quarterbacks. I got to ask you,

303
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 5: looking ahead to this weekend's games, if you were preparing

304
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 5: to face Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, what would you

305
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 5: be keying on right now?

306
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 6: I'm just just being patient.

307
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 10: Being patient would be the biggest thing because of the

308
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 10: screen amble ability not coming up so fast up on

309
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 10: to the runs and them scrambling. You know, I just

310
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 10: focused on doing my job, and that's just being a

311
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 10: d beat because other people got to do this too.

312
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 6: You know.

313
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 10: It's eleving people out there on the field, and I'm

314
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 10: not just responsible for one player. You know, they got

315
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 10: to throw the ball just as much they got to

316
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 10: run it, and I'm responsible for the past. So it's

317
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 10: just focusing on everybody doing their job, standing in their lanes.

318
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,359
Speaker 10: Because these two quarterbacks present a lot of problems.

319
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: You look at this Ravens team and you add the

320
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: Dereck Henry element, and we talked about it in the spring.

321
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: It's like, you have Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson in

322
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: the same backfield. What does that do to defenses? And

323
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: you saw the Steelers having to make that choice, like

324
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: do we just go after this TJ. Watt attack the

325
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: running back and let Lamar got I mean, when you

326
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: watch this team and you think about defending them and

327
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: preparing for them, especially this time of year where you

328
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: don't want to tackle Derek Henry in the cold, I mean,

329
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: this team looks like it's built to win these next

330
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: couple of games. How impressed for you with this offense.

331
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 10: Very impressive. I love what I see. I hope they

332
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 10: just continue to do it. And like you said, Derrick

333
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 10: Henry's back there. Utilized Derrick Henry for what he's good at,

334
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 10: and it opened up so many other doors, you know,

335
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 10: to do other things in your offense, you know, and

336
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 10: vice versa with Lamar doing his things, you got to

337
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 10: kill him and I opens up doors for Derek.

338
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 6: So it's a problem.

339
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 10: It's a problem when when everything is you know, the

340
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 10: ingredients are fluing right. You know, when you're doing it right.

341
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 10: Having that balance that's when you get a good meal.

342
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 10: You know, that's a meal for championship stuff.

343
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 5: Right there, did you ever play in a game where

344
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: whether it was an issue where it was just so

345
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 5: cold that it felt like the team couldn't function normally?

346
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 6: Elements don't matter and football.

347
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 10: They're the same for everybody, you know, so if it's

348
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 10: affecting you, it's affecting them, or you're just not mentally

349
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 10: strong enough. We were always a mentally strong enough team.

350
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 10: The elements sometimes in neutralizing, so to say, right I

351
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 10: was in college and we played against Boston College I'm from.

352
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 10: We played in Miami all year long, always heat. We

353
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 10: can't replicate cold weather, so it neutralizing speed.

354
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 6: You know. It put everybody on the same levels to

355
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 6: some degree.

356
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 10: So everybody's in the same elements. You know, we can't

357
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 10: complain about what the elements are going to be because all.

358
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 6: Of us are out there.

359
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,199

Speaker 10: many and women out there, the same for everybody.

402
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: of the year. It's so sack heavy now, like they're

403
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: they're all about the guys up front. They don't give

404
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 3: it to the guys in the back anymore.

405
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 7: Ed.

Speaker 1: Tom Pellicero on the Insiders A right, the Chiefs and

468
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: the Lions both are back from their buys. Jeffrey, I

469
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: start with you, if there's a vulnerability for the two

470
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: time defending champions of Kansas City, what is it?

471
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 9: Well, I'll go with their defense, which is not as

472
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 9: dominant as it was last year when it really carried

473
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 9: them for long stretches and was a big player in

474
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 9: them winning that championship. I know they were fourth in

475
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 9: the league in points allowed, but they had issues with

476
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 9: the pass rush. They were second in league last year

477
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 9: in sacks, this year their nineteenth and really on the

478
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 9: back end. People don't realize that the issues they had

479
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 9: when Jalen Watson went down at cornerback, he's coming back

480
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 9: this week, but Nahew Johnson and Josh Williams, they were

481
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 9: not getting it done.

482
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 6: This team was second in the.

483
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 9: League in big plays after Week nine, so I'm concerned

484
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 9: about that.

485
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 8: No, that's true.

486
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 13: Again, we're trying to fight weaknesses in the Chiefs now. Obviously,

487
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 13: Patrick Mahomes has never lost in the divisional round.

488
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: He is six to zero.

489
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 13: The Chiefs defense, though, they were allowing twenty points per

490
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 13: game or less over their last five until the Week

491
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 13: eighteen contest against the Denver Broncos, where they put up

492
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 13: about as much of a fight as Kevin Nash did

493
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 13: when he took the finger polk of doom from Hult

494
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 13: Cogan back in the day. But for me, I think

495
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 13: if you're the Kansas City Chiefs, you gotta be a

496
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 13: little weird. Of the Texans defense, which actually played really

497
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 13: well last week against the Los Angeles Chargers, we did

498
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 13: see them turn over Justin Herbert a number of times,

499
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 13: inducing him to throw four intercepts, although two of those

500
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 13: were kind of ricochet shots. It felt like wenton Johnson

501
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 13: was out there playing beach volleyball at a time like

502
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 13: Misty May setting up the ball for the defenders. But

503
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 13: still the Texans. If they want to win this game,

504
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 13: they got to get to the quarterback, and I think that.

505
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: Could be a huge issue for the Chiefs. Texas Chiefs.

506
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: That kicks off the divisional playoff weekend tomorrow. In the

507
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: evening slot, we got Lions and Commanders Detroit also off

508
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: the buy here Jeffrey of vulnerability if there is one

509
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: in Detroit.

510
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 9: Well, this pains me because I'm a Michigan native and

511
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 9: I love what they've done, especially Aaron Glenn, but I

512
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 9: am worried about that secondary. They've taken some hits, obviously,

513
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 9: with Carlton Davis going down at corner in this recstra

514
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 9: going down at corner, Terry and Arnold got hit, got

515
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 9: beat up in that game that last game of the season.

516
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 9: He had a foot injury. He'll be back, it seems like,

517
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 9: but maybe not one hundred percent. So I'm concerned about

518
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 9: that team taking on a Commander's team that's got a

519
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 9: lot of things that you like about them. Obviously, Jaye

520
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 9: Daniels can make plays and has done a lot of things,

521
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 9: but thirty Frank pass rank defense, Adam, that's a scary

522
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 9: proposition for a team that's trying to get to a

523
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 9: Chop Super Bowl.

524
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 13: Yeah, and the big reason why they've struggled in the

525
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 13: secondary is that they're not getting enough pressure on the quarterback.

526
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 13: And obviously a big issue is aiden Hutchinson goes down,

527
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 13: not there to be able to get to the quarterback,

528
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 13: and they've allowed a lot of production because of that.

529
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 13: They've also had trouble with quarterbacks who can run the football.

530
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 13: I think back to last year when the Chicago Bears

531
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 13: were having a lot of success against it because Justin

532
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 13: Fields was able to make plays with his feet. Because

533
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 13: the Lions have allowed the fifth fewest rushing yards per game,

534
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 13: but the fourth most rushing yards to quarterbacks this season.

535
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 13: And when you think of Jaydon Daniels, a big part

536
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 13: of his game is running the football. So if there

537
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 13: is a glimmer of hope for Commanders fans and that

538
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 13: Jade Daniels can make some plays with his legs, extend it,

539
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 13: get outside, make some moves and do things of that nature,

540
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 13: I think that they could actually give the Lions a

541
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 13: little little bit of a fight here.

542
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: Stick around, boys, more rams and Eagles talk with you

543
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: guys in just a little bit. Coming up. After this

544
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: break though, Zing Gonzalez made one of the biggest kicks

545
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: in Washington franchise history last week, but the routine that

546
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: he put on display is what garnered a lot of attention.

547
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: Zingonsaws kind enough to join us and talk about all

548
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: of this and that kick coming up next on The Insiders,

549
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: looking to send Washington into the divisional round.

550
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 13: Step good, hold down, kick.

551
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: On its way.

552
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 3: It is God.

553
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 9: The Cardiac commanders are the clutch Commanders.

554
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 8: They do it again.

555
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 13: We'll see you at Detroit Attack Zales Ticks at the Talk.

556
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 14: Fly off.

557
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh that was the best.

558
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 4: I mean, Dane, thank you very much for joining us

559
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 4: on the Insiders.

560
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: That was awesome. That got me smiling and laughing. I

561
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: could see you're feeling that too, that moment when you

562
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: see the kick goes in.

563
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: What is going on?

564
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 4: What did that feel like?

565
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 14: Honestly, for me, it was just one of those situations

566
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 14: like I hit a really good ball. I was hit

567
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 14: the ball really good all day, and that one kind

568
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 14: of as soon as I left my foot, I was like,

569
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 14: I knew it was gonna go right in middle, and

570
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 14: it kind of tended to keep fading on me a

571
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 14: little bit. So when I hit the post, I thought

572
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 14: I was on a sneak in side the left up

573
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 14: right or the right up right and not really hit

574
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 14: the post. And then once I hit the post, Hark

575
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 14: got of stopped for half a second and that's all

576
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 14: I'm bounced in pretty clearly.

577
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 8: So I was pretty good. But I mean, I think

578
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 8: you can see on the.

579
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 14: Camera my reaction. I didn't didn't really know how to react.

580
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 14: I kind of just stuck there until Baits kind of

581
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 14: picked me up there. But I mean it was truly unreal.

582
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 8: Once the kind of said it, it was just awesome

583
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 8: to think about it.

584
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 14: I mean, the fact that we were able to go

585
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 14: on the field, hit that game winner, have a clean

586
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 14: walk off like that and going to the second is

587
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 14: truly amazing. I mean, I can't say enough about the team.

588
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 14: I mean, this whole team is just incredible be around.

589
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 14: I don't think we're out of the game.

590
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 8: It's just a little fighter. So just happy I can

591
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 8: go out there and do my little part. And I'm

592
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 8: glad the ball went in.

593
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: That was truly an awesome moment. You guys have actually

594
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: had plenty of them just like that this year. I mean,

595
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: it's honestly for We'll get to some non football stuff

596
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 2: in a second. But for you guys, I mean you

597
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 2: just comfortable in this high stress environment as a team.

598
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 8: It seems like it. I mean I got here about

599
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 8: two months ago. I mean once I came in, I kind.

600
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 14: Of got a good grip on how the team was

601
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 14: and how the demeanor was with everybody, and I mean

602
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 14: you can kind of fill it from day one once

603
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 14: you come in building. Starting with a head coach, I

604
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 14: mean he does a good job of setting the tone

605
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 14: each and every day. And these guys, I mean NonStop

606
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 14: competing and it's I mean, once I came in, I

607
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 14: was like, all right, I gotta do much. I'll get

608
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 14: on and they make me better and kind of just

609
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 14: how it works out. But like you got the stats

610
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 14: up right there, the last five games have been truly

611
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 14: crazy to be a part of. I've never been a

612
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 14: part of them like that in my NFL career. So

613
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 14: and come out with w's and all those games, it's

614
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 14: been awesome. I Mean I tell people all the time,

615
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 14: I was like, I feel like at this point, I

616
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 14: feel like in any game, whether we're down a score

617
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 14: or two scores, whatever it may be, if like we're

618
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 14: we're never out of it. As long as there's time

619
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 14: of the clock, We're still good to go, and this

620
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 14: is it's just been exciting to be a part of.

621
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 4: So I want to go to the couple minutes.

622
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: A couple of moments before that kick, the camera zeroed

623
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: in on you and you were putting your helmet on,

624
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: and I think the whole country watched something that for

625
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: you is very familiar and for most of us, honestly

626
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: probably did not know what to make of it.

627
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure people were watching saying, is he nervous?

628
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 6: You?

629
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: Of course, as you've discussed publicly, deal with obsessive culsive

630
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: compulsive disorder. OC take us through what that is really

631
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: like for you as opposed to kind of what we see.

632
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,239
Speaker 8: I mean, it's a struggle. I mean, I can't lie.

633
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 14: I mean, it definitely makes being a kicker in the

634
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 14: NFL a little bit more tougher, But for me it's

635
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 14: just more the same. I mean, I've built with this

636
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 14: in high school, college and all that kind of stuff,

637
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 14: and guys who've played with me throughout my history know

638
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 14: my tendencies and my takes, whether it be the sock thing,

639
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 14: the helmet thing, everybody's seen it, whether it be in

640
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 14: practice games, and stuff like that. So I feel like

641
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 14: for me, it's always been kind of normal, never had

642
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 14: that much light shone on me. But obviously it comes

643
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 14: with the territory being in wild card weekend Sunday night

644
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 14: football game winning situation.

645
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 8: Camera's gonna be on you.

646
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 14: I kind of in the moment I was aware the

647
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 14: camera was there, wasn't aware of how drastic they're going

648
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 14: to be on me for the most part until after

649
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 14: the game, and I saw this stuff on social media.

650
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 8: But for me, it's just just a routine.

651
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 14: I mean, nothing different than some golfers out there. I

652
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 14: think Brian Harmon does a bunch of wiggles, or whether

653
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 14: it be baseball batters adjusting their gloves. I think Pat

654
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 14: mcabe spoke yesterday about something with like licking his fingers

655
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 14: and punting, like everybody has those little titencies, but with OCD,

656
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 14: like in this situation, it's just it's just more of

657
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 14: the same. So I guess it's really hard to describe

658
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 14: because it's just unless if you have most of you

659
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 14: you kind of get it. It's you have that mindset

660
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 14: of like, if you don't do this, the worst possible

661
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 14: situation is going to happen. So as a kicker, it's

662
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 14: just kind of that's the thing. But it's not just

663
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 14: the game winning kick, it's every kick.

664
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 8: You kind of deal with it. So for me, I

665
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 8: felt pretty good in this situation.

666
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 14: A team was able to get down there making a

667
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 14: relatively shorter field goal, which was nice rather than like

668
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 14: a deeper ball.

669
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 8: So for me, I felt good.

670
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 14: I was just more anxious to get going, make the

671
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 14: kick and kind of get us out of there. It's

672
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 14: just it's an incredible opportunity to play a part of

673
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 14: a wildcard weekend. I mean, it's my first playoff game ever.

674
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 14: I was excited ready to go to have that situation

675
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 14: come up. Truly a dream come true. Like I tell

676
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 14: my wife, I was like, it's truly. Is he truly blessed?

677
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 14: He kind of stinks that a lot of this stuff

678
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 14: got over shown by the OCD, But I mean, if

679
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 14: I could be an advocate for people and kind of

680
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 14: show that side of the world, then so be it.

681
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 14: Because I'm not the only one that deals with it.

682
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 14: I mean there's a lot of adults, young kids, middle

683
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 14: aged people that kind of the battle never really ins

684
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 14: so people kind of continuously deal with in their everyday life,

685
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 14: whether it be going to sleep set in your alarm NonStop,

686
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 14: or going to a regular day job and kind of

687
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 14: having to deal with that at work in the office

688
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 14: and stuff like that, and people that don't go tend

689
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 14: to just instead of ask questions, they'll kind of just

690
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 14: tend to judge for the most part. I think Ted

691
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 14: Lasso had a good quote in his show is like,

692
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 14: be curious, not judgmental, and that's a great quote to

693
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 14: live by, and I think in that situation is a

694
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 14: perfect example to be a little bit more curious. But

695
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 14: a lot of people who've never seen it, especially in

696
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 14: that measure, because they kind of they kind of got

697
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 14: a little out of hand during that game Sunday night,

698
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 14: just at the socks and the helmet stuff.

699
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 8: But for me is just truly awesome.

700
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 14: I was just grateful to be a part of that

701
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 14: opportunity to get that moment to go out there and

702
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 14: do that, and yeah, I'm just happy that, regardless of

703
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 14: the OCD stuff, I was able to get out there

704
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 14: and get the job done and get the team wet

705
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 14: and get us onto the next.

706
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 8: Round of playoffs.

707
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: Because obviously there was a lot of attention on it

708
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: because the camera was there, You've had opportunities. I saw

709
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: you did an interview with the Washington Post, which was

710
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: really good. You're obviously here talking to us on the Insiders.

711
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: Do you like or appreciate the opportunity to explain to

712
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: either to people like me who are just like you said,

713
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: curious or you know that there are some kids out

714
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: there who see that and go.

715
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 8: He's just like me.

716
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: And rarely do people have the opportunity and a huge

717
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 4: public platform to discuss this.

718
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 14: I mean it's great on all accounts, just to discuss it.

719
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 14: I mean it sheds a light on it and opens

720
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 14: up the discussion. Right, So like a lot of people

721
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 14: don't want to talk about it. And like I mentioned,

722
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 14: especially as a younger kid or a younger person, you're

723
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 14: really self conscious on stuff, whether you're be in high school, college,

724
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 14: you just kind of know how people are. And people

725
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 14: are still growing and developing of that age, so they

726
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 14: don't really know how to ask questions or be themselves

727
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 14: or truly whatever or have confidence in who they are.

728
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 14: So for me being able to do that on that stage,

729
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 14: and yeah, I kind of took a massive light. It

730
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 14: shedded a bunch of light on it in that moment.

731
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 14: But for me looking back on it and now in hindsight,

732
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 14: it's really cool to see because I've been able to

733
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 14: get a lot of outreachs further on social media text

734
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 14: message about all walks of life that go through the

735
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 14: same issues and just them expressed into them.

736
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 8: How much that meant to see somebody.

737
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 14: Like me in that stage do it and for me

738
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 14: to hear that, knowing that, hey, there's a lot of

739
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 14: other people that see a lot of inspiration out of

740
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 14: that as well, gives me a great feeling and it's

741
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 14: truly awesome just to see all the support that I've

742
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 14: been getting through each and everybody and just being able

743
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 14: to open up that conversation.

744
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 8: I mean, never that thing that'll be in this situation.

745
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 14: I'll be highlighted for the OCD stuff, but I mean,

746
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 14: here we are, and it's just a great opening talking

747
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 14: point about it, and it gets discussion going with younger people.

748
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 14: So now maybe a kid in high school who's going

749
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 14: through the same thing has a little bit more confidence

750
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 14: to go out there and do his job and just

751
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 14: accept who you are. Like, if it is what it is,

752
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 14: you just got to go out there and do your

753
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 14: stuff and don't I mean, can't let people hinder you

754
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 14: in whatever you're trying to accomplish. And at the end

755
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 14: of the day, I mean, you can see it as

756
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 14: a positive, you can see it as a negative. And

757
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 14: for me, I shouldn't see it as a positive, just

758
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 14: an aspect of making me very very detail orient detail

759
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 14: oriented and able to lock in those moments and those

760
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 14: are my cues.

761
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 8: So I mean, for me, I try to see the

762
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 8: bright side of it. I think it's helped me out

763
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 8: in my.

764
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 14: Career, and I think at anything more than anything at home,

765
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 14: it's more of the issues like trying to go to

766
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 14: sleep and just finding myself doing little things around the

767
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 14: house that are very annoying. But I mean it's just

768
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 14: part of the process. So I'm just happy that it's

769
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 14: able to get that dialogue going there and people discussing,

770
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 14: whether it be people like you or a kid back

771
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 14: home that's dealing with it. I mean, just getting that

772
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 14: conversation is awesome. And to hear people bring it up

773
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 14: and open up their stories as well, it's cool to hear.

774
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,680

785
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: So cool of Zaye Gonzales to explore his journey with

786
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: us and one is a huge, huge matchup for the

787
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: Commanders this weekend. The other NFC matchup, big time matchup

788
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: Eagles Rams features these guys, Matthew Stafford, Jalen Hurts.

789
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 4: Let's get into it. Coming the next on The Insiders.

790
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: Rams and Eagles in Philadelphia, part of the doubleheader on Sunday,

791
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: one of four games on Divisional playoff weekend. One of

792
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: the hottest teams in football over the past few months

793
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: in the Rams going into the Eagles House against their

794
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: two thousand yard rusher Sakuon Barkley. Welcome back to the Insiders,

795
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: Tom Pilaicerro joined again by Jeffrey jedia and Adam Rank.

796
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 1: Jeffery It's a good matchup they all are this weekend.

797
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: What's one thing you're looking for in Rams Eagles?

798
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 6: Well, I know.

799
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 9: Everybody's talking about Sakwon Barkley and how the Rams are

800
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 9: going to stop him, but I'm wondering how the Rams

801
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 9: are going to score points because they haven't been that

802
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 9: great at greating offense in the last few games. They've

803
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 9: only had been over three nd yards of offense in

804
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 9: three of their last five games. And as great as

805
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 9: they were in that game last week against Minnesota, their

806
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 9: offense didn't get over three undred yards in that contest.

807
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 9: And so I know Matt Stafford and Hookin Nakua and

808
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 9: Cooper Cup and Karen Williams, all these guys in score points,

809
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 9: but that defense against Philadelphia is real. They secondary has

810
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 9: got a lot of guys can cover in Quinnyon Mitchell

811
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 9: and Cooper desin front, Jordan Davis and Jayleen Carter Adam.

812
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 9: It's going to be a problem on that side of

813
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 9: the football as well.

814
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

815
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 13: I guess my biggest issue though, is what it's going

816
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 13: to be the book recommendation from aj Brown Listen.

817
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: I don't know.

818
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 13: Obviously, he's a great he's a great book pitchman. He's

819
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 13: sitting there reading a book on the sideline and everybody's

820
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 13: having a laugh. That book skyrockets on Amazon. But at

821
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 13: some point this is going to become an issue because

822
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 13: AJ Brown reportedly is like I don't know if he

823
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 13: wasn't friends with Jalen Hurts anymore, and this was a

824
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 13: thing that like, obviously, it gets kind of swept under

825
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 13: the rug when your team is out there winning, and

826
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 13: when you're winning huge and they should have a pretty

827
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 13: good opportunity this week to beat the LA Rams. The team,

828
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 13: as you said, cannot score a lot of points over

829
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 13: the last couple of weeks. But the thing is, as

830
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 13: we get further into the playoffs, is this going to

831
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 13: ever be a bigger issue if it next week, if

832
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 13: you have to go onto the road to Detroit or

833
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 13: God forbid and to comforbid, but if you go to

834
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 13: the super Bowl, I'm sure that this is going to

835
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 13: come up time and time again like that, I don't

836
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 13: know if I don't know if Aj Brown has ever

837
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 13: been to a media day or Super Bowl said Monday night,

838
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 13: this is the kind of thing that comes up. This

839
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 13: is what people want to talk about, and so I

840
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 13: think that there could be something lurking there for the Eagles.

841
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, Greg Send, no way to react on that,

842
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: what rag Thank you. I appreciate you should start a

843
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: book club with aj Brown. Start out with the jest

844
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: you'll never have to pick another book, Adam Jeffrey, thank

845
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: you very much. In other news within the NFL and

846
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: something that has impacted a variety of different people over

847
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks, including the Rams who got

848
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: their first playoff win the Vikings in Arizona, twelve Los

849
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: Angeles sports organizations, including the Rams and Chargers, in partnership

850
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: with the team's own foundations, joined forces with Fanatics and

851
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: the Fanatics Foundation to distribute three million dollars worth of

852
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: Fanatics merchandise to those who've been evacuated for their homes.

853
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: The event follows Monday's announcement that the twelve professional organizations

854
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: have pledged a combined donation of more than eight million

855
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: dollars to support victims in need, as well as those

856
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: fighting the fires, Chargers coach Jim Arbaugh put a personal

857
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: touch to the support that both these teams have been

858
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: lending to people locally. Turned out in Pacific Palisades last

859
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,959
Speaker 1: night to meet with some of the first responders who've

860
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: been on the front lines fighting those fires and trying

861
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: to help thousands of people impacted by the fires. Good

862
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: on Jim out there and looks like he is completely

863
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: at home talking to those folks out there. Coming up

864
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: after this, the Rams are still rolling on the field,

865
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: and now they are rolling into Philadelphia, where the rookie

866
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: Jared Vers, who has earned the right to talk a

867
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: little bit, certainly had some interesting things to say about

868
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: Philly fans. We'll explain next on The Insiders. Are you

869
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: feeling football withdrawal on a Friday night? Well, boy, do

870
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: we got something for you. Coming up nine pm Eastern time,

872
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: from now. It's the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame. Our

873
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: guys will be out there covering that. Do not miss it.

874
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: Coming up right after the Inside the NFL, which is

875
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: after this show, Jared Verse and the Rams headed to Philadelphia,

876
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: and well, the rookie sensation for the Rams has some

877
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. Told the Los Angeles Times this week

878
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: he hates Seagals fans, finds them annoying and said, quote,

879
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: when I see that green and white, I hate it.

880
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: I actually get upset, like I actually genuinely get hot.

881
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: Your thoughts sick one, Barkley, Probably not the smartest thing

882
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: to say when you're coming to Philadelphia.

883
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 10: And I've been on the other side, and even if

884
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 10: I felt some double ways, probably want to give them

885
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 10: any extra.

886
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 7: Fuere fans seen that comment, those already will be loud

887
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 7: in rocking, So just want to go out to it.

888
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: Mike, you're a resident Philidelphian or whatever them what are

889
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: you thinking here?

890
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: Spoke to our friends of the show, been on The

891
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 3: Insiders multiple time. Quent Lake Rams defensive captain about this

892
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 3: earlier today and he said he goes up to Verse

893
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 3: and said, I'm riding with you, pal, you know, because

894
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 3: he knows that Versus is.

895
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: Going to back this up.

896
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 3: I thought, maybe, you know, he said, some guys get

897
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 3: scared when one of our teammates talked, wow, trash like this.

898
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 3: He said, no, I'm good with it. I'm riding with you.

899
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 3: So the Rams are going in very brash right now?

900
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 4: Did you almost make us work blue over here?

901
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 15: Mike get to Philly this dagment, because that's what it

902
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 15: sounds like. If we could like rewind that a little bit.

903
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 15: I heard Mike start with an S and then stop himself. Anyway,

904
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 15: I got nothing wrong with.

905
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 4: This, he should say this. Let petty be petty.

906
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 2: I am also standing with jervis not that I hate

907
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 2: Philly people. I'm just saying, be petty.

908
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 6: What did I say?

909
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: If McPhee can come on NFL Network and swear, why can't.

910

00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: item

913
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 7: MHM
