1 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: Could the robots soon replace humans as NFL officials? Not 2 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 1: really yet, but the men and stripes could be gaining 3 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: some artificial intelligence soon. Hear what Roger Goodell had to 4 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: say today at the NFL's full meeting about the potential 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: arrival of Chat NFL. The upstart Panthers are in the 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: playoff mix heading into Sunday's showdown with the Bills and 7 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: promow cornerback j C. Horn is a big reason why 8 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: JAYC will join us tonight with both hands to talk 9 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: about that ridiculous interception and a whole lot more. Don't 10 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: sleep on our fantasy expert Marcus Grant or any of 11 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: his fantasy sleepers. The man with some of the best 12 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: calls this season is back tonight with a couple of 13 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: names you will not believe, but you should probably pick 14 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: them up that anyway. Welcome inside with the Inside presented 15 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: by Progressive Insurance alongside Judy Batista and Mike Gara Folo, 16 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: I am Tom Tellisero. 17 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 2: Eve of week eight in the NFL. 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: We will talk vikings in charges with our Steve Weitz, 19 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: who joins us surely. 20 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: But first we've got some injury news. 21 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: And once again it is not good news for the 22 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. Their quarterback Jaden Daniels was out for Monday 23 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: night's game at Kansas City because of the hamstring injury 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: that he suffered last week. This according to our ian Rappaport, 25 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: it's a low grade hamstring injury, nothing long term for Daniels, 26 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: but he is going to miss at least one game. 27 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: Marcus Marioto, was one to one filling in for Daniels 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: earlier this season, will get the start in Kansas City. 29 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, meanwhile, is on track to return for the 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: Ravens on Sunday against Chicago. Was back on the practice 31 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: field today, officially listed as limited. 32 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: Barn a stepback. 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: Odds certainly seemed to be improving greatly that Lamar will 34 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: be in the lineup, though John harbadn't want to put 35 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: odds on it just yet. 36 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: It's hard to put a number on. I think it's 37 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: just part of the process right now. I really don't 38 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: have any shareable injury intelligence for you guys at this point. 39 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: What do you think of that? 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 4: I would say that even Mike Tommin, who gives verbose 41 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 4: answers with superfluous phrases, probably impressed by that. 42 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: Phrasing right there. 43 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: Meanwhile, down in Tampa, Bucky. 44 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: Irving is still not practicing. 45 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 4: He hasn't played in the month of October, and after 46 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 4: he got hurt, Todd Bowles was indicating we'll see by 47 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 4: the end of the week, in week five if he 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 4: can go. We're in week eight now, Bucky Irving is 49 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 4: still not there. Chris Godwin as well. When you see 50 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 4: fibula listed on the injury report, there's only one thing 51 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: you can do to a fibula, only one thing you 52 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 4: can do to a bone, and that's breaking. So something's 53 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 4: going on there with Chris Godwin that has him out 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: of action. Todd Bowles saying, we're up against the buy 55 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 4: and we've got so many injuries, Mike Evans being one 56 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 4: of them. Placed an injury reserve, by the way, getting 57 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 4: surgery on that collarbone. That will probably err on the 58 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: side of caution if a guy's not ready to go. 59 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 4: So perhaps these two will be out there on Sunday 60 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 4: against the Saints. 61 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 5: Judy Jets owner Wuddy Johnson was very clear yesterday he 62 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 5: lays the blame for the Jets O and seven start 63 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 5: mostly at the feet of quarterback Justin Fields said, if 64 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 5: we could just complete it pass it would look good. 65 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 5: Fields was asked today about Woody's comments. He certainly took 66 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 5: the high road. Here is what he had to say. 67 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 6: It doesn't bother me, It doesn't. You know, of course 68 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 6: everybody knows. You know, I need to I need to 69 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 6: play better. We need to play better as a team. 70 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 6: And of course, you know, no matter how you know 71 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 6: the offense does as a unit, you know, I'm going 72 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 6: to get the blame. And I understand that that's just 73 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 6: what comes with the job. But honestly, it's what comes 74 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 6: with it. So you can't let anything kind of affect 75 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 6: your mind, my mind, and that's that's what it is. 76 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 6: No matter if it's you know him, no matter if 77 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 6: it's you know, family members, even teammates. Sometimes you're gonna 78 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 6: be there's gonna be times where you have to be 79 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 6: the only one who believes in yourself. 80 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 7: So you know, like I said, that's his opinion. 81 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 6: And like I told you guys after the game on 82 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 6: on Sunday, I'm at peace and on focus is right 83 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 6: now is working each and every day and getting better. 84 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: So whati Johnson also repeatedly said I have faith in Aaron. 85 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: He meant Glenn not Rogers, who is acutely aware that 86 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: he is no longer a jet. He faces one of 87 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: his other former teams, the Green Bay Packers, for the 88 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: first time Sunday Night. Your thoughts, Aaron, I can go 89 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: for you just as a quote, revenge opportunity or whatever 90 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: near to we want to turn through out there. 91 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: I do. 92 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 8: Why not, Well, Brett got traded and then he went 93 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 8: to one of the hated rivals. You know, I was 94 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 8: in New Jersey for a couple of years. I don't 95 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 8: have any animosity toward the organization. Obviously, I wish that, 96 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 8: you know, things have been better in our last year there, 97 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 8: but you know, I have a great relationship with a 98 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 8: lot of people still in that organization, and you know, 99 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 8: this is not a revenge game for me. I'm just 100 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 8: excited to see some of those guys and be on 101 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 8: Sunday Night Football. 102 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers has made some Pro Bowls over his career. 103 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: Maybe he'll make this year if he does. Roger Goodell 104 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 4: announcing today at the NFL League meeting in New York 105 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 4: at the Pro Bowl Games moving to the site of 106 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. That's the Bay Area, and we'll be 107 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 4: on Tuesday, which used to be Media Day Now that's 108 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 4: Monday night. Dell's presser used to be on Friday. Now 109 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 4: that's Wednesday. NFL Honors used to be on Saturday. That's Thursday. 110 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 4: We are figuring out the perfect Super Bowl week and 111 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: now the Pro Bowl games are going to be part 112 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 4: of that, and. 113 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: You'll be able to see the games. 114 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 4: You'll be able to see the flag football game, You'll 115 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 4: be able to see all that action from all of 116 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 4: the Pro bowlers. Meanwhile, Goodell addressed some other issues during 117 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 4: his meeting with the media. Was asked about artificial intelligence 118 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 4: when it comes to officiating. Here's what the Commissioner had 119 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 4: to say. 120 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 9: We've added replay assist as you know, and use some 121 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 9: technology which I think is really a valuable thing, and 122 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 9: I think that will continue to evolve, and we're looking 123 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 9: at how i AI be a factor in that, how 124 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 9: can we use AI to maybe help in officiating as 125 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 9: well as many other areas of the operational league. So 126 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 9: I'm quite optimist optimistic that we're going to continue to 127 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 9: have more technology and that will involve more communication either 128 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 9: between the crews or between our office or the replay visual. 129 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 4: All right, Julia, it was one of the topics that 130 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: came up at the fall meeting in Manhattan where we 131 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: were we are now in the comforts of home. 132 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 2: What did we take away from this meeting this year. 133 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 5: Well, officiating, as it often is, was a through line 134 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 5: of the meeting. Roger Goodell gets us at every one 135 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 5: of these meetings for as long as I can remember 136 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 5: about officiating, always that there's controversy about officiating during the season, 137 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 5: and he always says the same thing, there's always controversy 138 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 5: about officiating during the season. Having said that, our meetings 139 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 5: started with a tour of the officiating headquarters at Park Avenue, 140 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 5: where they emphasized how they are trying to support the 141 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 5: on field officials with replay assist how they're trying to 142 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 5: be more accurate and faster with officiating, all of those things. 143 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 5: And then of course it ended with Roger Goodell saying 144 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 5: he could envision artificial intelligence assisting officiating too, So that 145 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 5: was certainly a through line how they are supporting the 146 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 5: on field officials. They have always been cognizant that the 147 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 5: on field officials are at a disadvantage seeing things compared 148 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 5: to what we can see on a television set, compared 149 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 5: to what fans can see at home when they have 150 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 5: a million television angles to look at, they know they. 151 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: Need to support the officials. 152 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 5: The other thing I took away was the eighteen game schedule, 153 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 5: which seemed to be on a fast track only about 154 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 5: a year ago, has definitely slowed down momentum towards that, 155 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 5: largely because of the upheaval in leadership at the Players Association. 156 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 5: That has to be negotiated with the players Union. It 157 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 5: has to be part of a CBA, and with no 158 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 5: head of the Players Union in place right now and 159 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 5: not going to happen until next offseason, those negotiations can 160 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 5: start for a long time, possibly passed next year twenty 161 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 5: twenty six, which means you are looking well down the 162 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 5: road until we get. 163 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: To an eighteen game season. 164 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 5: So that has certainly slowed down from where we were 165 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 5: even a year ago. 166 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, the fall meeting is not where you see a 167 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 4: lot of the things that we get excited about for meetings, 168 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: which is rule changes, those kinds of things. Those tend 169 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: to happen in March or May during those meetings in 170 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: the offseason. But this is the point of the season 171 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 4: where they go, Okay, where are we, how's everything going? Kickoff, 172 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 4: kick returns with certainly a big point of discussion. As 173 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: Troy Vincent likes to say, and likes to say over 174 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 4: and over again because he likes his line that he 175 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: came up with. They put the foot back in football. 176 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 4: The footback in the game is the way that Troy 177 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 4: phrases it with the kick return. So they're happy so 178 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 4: far with the returns upon unintended returns of the kick 179 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 4: return so far this year. Officiating certainly a big part 180 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 4: of it, Judy. They are not blind to the fact 181 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: that a lot of folks think that officiating could be 182 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 4: better For those of us who have been on a 183 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 4: sideline during an. 184 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: NFL game and see how quickly it happens. 185 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 4: It's a lot faster than those slow motion replays that 186 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 4: you were talking about. But anything that they can bring 187 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 4: in when it comes to AI, it's not going to 188 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 4: be able to tell you what pass interference is or 189 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 4: holding because in a lot of ways it's subjective. In fact, 190 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 4: they tried to bring in replay for pass interference a 191 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: couple of years ago and that didn't work. 192 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: They got rid of that after one year. 193 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 4: So AI and anything that they can bring whether it's 194 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 4: replay or AI to help out officiating. 195 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 2: They're trying to make the product better. 196 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 4: They'd also love to have more officials that they possibly could, 197 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 4: So if you at home would like to be an official, 198 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: send in. 199 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: Your application to high school college and work your way 200 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: up into the NFL. 201 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: Tom Cowboys cornerback Trayvon Diggs is in the building, but 202 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: still not practicing it for suffering a concussion in an 203 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: incident at his home last week. Cowboys defense actually played 204 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: better without him last week and may have to do 205 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: it again on Sunday in a big game at Denver. 206 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are right back in it in the NFC 207 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: East Race, and they're going to be going up against 208 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: the Orange Crush, not the actual Orange Crush, but it's 209 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: gonna look very similar. One of the best throwback uniform 210 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: is going to be complimented by a beautiful field design. 211 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: That thing actually looks like a real live Bronco. Let's 212 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: welcome in our Brian Baldinger and Mark Ross to the conversation. Baldy, 213 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: this has been a fun Cowboys team and offense to 214 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: watch so far this season. You broke down the tape, 215 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: You do it as well as anybody. Tell me what 216 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: you're seeing right now from Dallas. 217 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 10: Well, it's a great offense. I mean, run and pass. 218 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 11: There's a rhythm to it, there's a design to it 219 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 11: that I think Dak is playing the best football he 220 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 11: has ever played. Leads the league right now with sixteen 221 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 11: touchdown passes. But it's fun to watch. I mean, they 222 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 11: called plays and Dak knows exactly where to go with 223 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 11: the ball. Like it's this is third and one, last week, 224 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 11: CD back in the uniform right here. They're going to 225 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 11: call this plate for CD. It's going to be a 226 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 11: double slant with him and Jake Ferguson. But the key 227 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 11: is the balls out, one, two, three, balls out. Dak 228 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 11: hits his back step and he hits him throw. This 229 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 11: is a two step hitch and throw to Pickings on 230 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 11: this go route right here. And look when he's throwing it. 231 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 11: When he's released to the ball, he's thrown it to 232 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 11: a spot He's trusting his receiver Pickings to get it. 233 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 11: He gives him enough room on the sideline to get it. Now, 234 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 11: this is third and twelve and he's going to hit 235 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 11: the tight end over the middle here, but it's a 236 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 11: five step drop hitch and throw. He needs a little 237 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 11: more time for a purgoson to get down the field 238 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 11: right in front of the safety, perfect location, over seventy 239 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 11: percent completion percentage were do right. 240 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 10: Now, and then you know you can get this third 241 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 10: and five right here. 242 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 11: Man coverage Lotimore's trail and George Pickens right here and 243 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 11: again he's going to give him a little bit of 244 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 11: time to work, but he he's got pressure right in 245 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 11: his face. He hitched the balls out before he makes 246 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 11: his break. That's great time. And you see this play 247 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 11: in play out and then what it's done to passing game. 248 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 11: It's given him a lot of favorable running situations. Two 249 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 11: safeties deep. Let's run it on first and ten. Javonte 250 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 11: Williams is having a renaissance no matter who he's running behind. 251 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 10: But this is a well blocked play. Full scoop right 252 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 10: here gets him into the alley. He's on his way to. 253 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 11: The safety right here, picking up nine yards to that 254 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 11: first down run. 255 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 10: It's just a great offense right. 256 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 11: Now between Brian Schottenheimer, Clayton Adams who came over from Arizona, 257 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 11: and what Dak is doing right now. Whether CD was 258 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 11: in the lineup not in the lineup, there is a 259 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 11: rhythm to this offense that is undeniable and it's really 260 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 11: lead to great production. 261 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 12: Baldy completely agreed. I don't think he's just playing great. 262 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 12: I think he's the MVP of the league up to 263 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 12: this point, and that is because I always liked DK 264 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 12: and thought he was a certain level, but didn't know 265 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 12: if he had the ability to take his game to 266 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 12: another level and take the whole offense to another level. 267 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: Well, he is absolutely doing that this year. 268 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 12: Where I watched the Cowboys, especially when CD went down, 269 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 12: I was like, oh boy, they're done with Well, Dak 270 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 12: got even better and he raised everybody's level. George Pickens 271 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 12: making huge plays every game, guys coming out of the woodwork, 272 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 12: Ferguson there with three touchdowns touchdown game. So he's raised 273 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 12: the level of everybody on that offense. And the thing 274 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 12: that's impressed he most about Dak is just Baldy. He's 275 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 12: unflappable in the pocket. I mean, stuff goes around him 276 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 12: and pressure and he just steps in there, delivers on time, 277 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 12: He delivers with accuracy, and he just always looks like 278 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 12: he is in command and confident where he's going with 279 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 12: the football. So I think this will continue. CD getting 280 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 12: worked back into the offense even more. This Cowboys team 281 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 12: is going to be a problem for anybody. This Cowboys offense, 282 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 12: and if that defense could just make one or two 283 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 12: stops a game or get one or two turnovers, they 284 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 12: really can beat anybody. 285 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: Now can they do that? 286 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 12: We'll see, But the Cowboys will be right into it 287 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 12: at the end because of the way Dak is playing 288 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 12: and has that offense rolling. 289 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 13: Taylor floats it down the seat towards. 290 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 4: JC Hard, No one handed takeaway. The Panthers get the 291 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 4: ball back now, JC Punch just talked hard, finally got 292 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 4: some work. 293 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 7: What a catch. 294 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: One of the most ridiculous interceptions that you are ever 295 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: going to see. And you can see the reaction from 296 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: everybody on the internet, current players, former players, anyone who 297 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: saw that. 298 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: Trying to figure out the sheer physics of our next guest. 299 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: It is Panthers Pro Bowl cornerback JC Horn with me, 300 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: Tom Pelisero, and our friend Bridget Connon here. 301 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: On the Insiders. 302 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: Jasey A lot I want to talk to you about, 303 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: but start off with just taking me through that play. 304 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: To me, it almost looked like a you know, a 305 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: center fielder in baseball going back, you're kind of checking 306 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: the wall, you find the ball at the last second there. 307 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: Just walk me through that play and what you're seeing. 308 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, man, just quarters look from us. 309 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 14: It was in quarters a quarter quarter a half across 310 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 14: the boarding.

I mean, 456 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 4: I think we thought they were going to cruise in 457 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 4: the playoffs. Now obviously it's going to have to be 458 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 4: something Steve Weiss that they are going to have to 459 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 4: battle for here. A big problem for them been offensive 460 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 4: line injuries. Joe Allt has not played in the month 461 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 4: of October the left tackle, although he did say earlier 462 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 4: this week he is expecting to go. That would be 463 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 4: huge if that winds up being the case for the 464 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 4: Chargers team. 465 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like the Chargers have lost three their last four. 466 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 13: They've had to use four or five different offensive line combinations. 467 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 13: But alt, their best offensive lineman who started the season 468 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 13: left tackle, has been out with a high ankle spring. 469 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 13: I was at their walk through practice on Tuesday. He's 470 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 13: been practicing in a limited fashion over the past few 471 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 13: days and said he does. 472 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: Expect to play. 473 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 13: Now he's being listed as questionable, but head coach Jim 474 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 13: Harbaugh did make it sound like alt we'll be back 475 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 13: in the lineup, and that's going to be huge for 476 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 13: an offense, for an offensive line, especially that's allowed Justin Herbert, 477 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 13: the starting quarterback, to get hit well one hundred and 478 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 13: third pressure to one hundred and thirty five times and 479 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 13: hit sixty two times. Those a one hundred and thirty 480 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 13: five pressures like are thirty more than any other quarterback 481 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 13: in the NFL. So getting all back could help. And 482 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 13: there is the possibility that right tackle Trey Pipkins, who's 483 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 13: been out with a knee injury, could return. He's been 484 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 13: practicing on a limited basis, but it didn't sound quite 485 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 13: as optimistic about getting the other bookend tackle back. 486 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 4: Eventually, they'll get back to their starting offensive line without 487 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 4: rush On Slater when they lost in training camp, for 488 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 4: their starting offensive line at least to begin the regular season. 489 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 4: You were at that practice today because you're covering this 490 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 4: game for us for NFL Game Day kickoff tomorrow, so 491 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 4: I know you've got some thoughts on the Viking side 492 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 4: of things with his defense, Brian Flores, you talked about 493 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 4: Herbert getting hit. 494 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: You can do that with a lot of other things. 495 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: That flow does up front, right. 496 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 13: Yeah, But I spoke to Johnson Grenard, the edge rusher 497 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 13: who only has one sack. By the way, we know 498 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 13: how prolific he's been over the past few seasons, and 499 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 13: he was saying, like, look, a lot of times when 500 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 13: they face teams that have had offensive line issues, injuries, 501 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 13: rotations like the Chargers have, people think and his words, 502 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 13: that the Vikings will have an onslaught. But he said 503 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 13: that they respect the coaches there, and they respect the players, 504 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 13: and they know what's going to be challenged, but challenging. 505 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 13: But in terms of living up to that Viking standard, 506 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 13: he said, they have not been able to do that, 507 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 13: and they have got to force Justin Herbert, the NFL's 508 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 13: leading passer, to throw the ball. They want to get 509 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 13: him into some known passing situations because they do think 510 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 13: they can come up with some creative pressure packages to 511 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 13: get him off his spot. Would you know, Justin Herbert 512 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 13: has thrown some interceptions in those losses, So that's what 513 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 13: they're trying to generate when they come to town to 514 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 13: face the Chargers on Thursday. 515 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 4: I mentioned NFL game day kickoffs just one of your responsibilities, 516 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 4: the other one being this very program. The Insider Steve 517 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 4: Weisch will join us on Thursday to break down that game. 518 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 4: He's got more left to unload on your folks. 519 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 2: That's coming up on Thursday. 520 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 5: Judy two, our tongue of Faioloa has had some rough 521 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 5: outings on the field the last two weeks. Six interceptions 522 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 5: over the last two games. He's also had some rough 523 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 5: turns at the microphone. Frankly, here is Dolphins coach Mike 524 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 5: McDaniel on his quarterback. 525 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 16: We had a a great hour and a half meeting yesterday. 526 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 16: We had a great hour meeting the day before. As 527 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 16: as two and I have always operated. I think there's 528 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 16: zero uncertainty with Tua on my conviction and him and 529 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 16: my belief in him. So I think we're we're both very, 530 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 16: very eager to do better at our jobs, and we're 531 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 16: we're both very committed and trusting of each other to 532 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 16: to respond to what is necessary for the team to 533 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 16: do better. 534 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 17: You got to have that in a in a relationship. 535 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 17: It can't always be man, here's your flowers, here's here's 536 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 17: rose is. 537 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 7: Hey, man, you had a bad game. 538 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 17: It's all right, buddy, Like you got to have those 539 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 17: tough conversations and I've had those tough conversations with him 540 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 17: this week. We met yesterday, we at the day before, 541 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 17: last week, and the week prior, you know, with what 542 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 17: we want to accomplish. 543 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 10: How can we. 544 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 17: Get our guys going, but more importantly, how can we 545 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 17: stay in there offensively, put points on the board and 546 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 17: help our guys win the game whenever that opportunity comes, 547 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 17: if it's for the offense. 548 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: To do so, Oh to be a fly on the wall. 549 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 5: During those conversations, Bucky Brooks joins the insiders. Let's talk 550 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 5: about some struggling offenses, and certainly the Miami Dolphins offense 551 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 5: is struggling big time. Is this still fixable, Bucky? 552 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: Or are they broken beyond repair? 553 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 18: They're broken beyond repair, and they're broken beyond repair because 554 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 18: the guy who was really the lynch fin to this 555 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 18: offense being one of the more dynamic and explosive offenses 556 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 18: the first couple of years of Mike McDaniels tenior is 557 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 18: not available and that's Tyreek Keel. When Tyreek Hill is 558 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 18: on the field, everyone has to tilt the coverage in 559 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 18: his direction with him not there. I like Jayden Waller, 560 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 18: but Jalen Waller is the number one receiver that will 561 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 18: command that kind of attention, and so you have that 562 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 18: missing piece gone. 563 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: You also have the league that is caught up. 564 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 18: To the side to side horizontal nature of the offense 565 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 18: that Mike McDaniels runs. They were explosive because they were 566 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 18: fastening everybody. They would get the ball on the perimeter 567 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 18: and outrun people to the edges. Now they're taking that away, 568 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 18: And because you don't have the vertical element with Tyreek Hill, 569 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 18: they're forcing the Miami Dolphins to basically play half court 570 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 18: basketball and without a dominant running game. Because the offensive 571 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 18: line has not necessarily played up to par, they just 572 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 18: don't have enough to get it done. Look, I love 573 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 18: to a tongue about Loway, and I like Mike mcdenne's 574 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 18: and what he was able to do from a creative standpoint, 575 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 18: But right now, the personnel of the scheme and those things, 576 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 18: it doesn't mesh. And it's going to be really, really 577 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 18: hard to put this back together without Tyreek Hill. 578 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 10: On the perimeter. 579 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 5: All Right, we saw the struggles on national television of 580 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 5: the Houston Texans offense. Are they broken or are they fixable? 581 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 10: Yuck? 582 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: That's the first thing that's sick at the Texas offense. 583 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 18: It doesn't make sense. They have a quarterback who has 584 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 18: played at a very, very high level. There is time 585 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 18: in his NFL career to not be able to figure 586 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 18: it out. And it's not really CJ. Stroud, it's just 587 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 18: the scheme does not match. It doesn't necessarily make sense. 588 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 18: You have enough weapons to be able to get this done. 589 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 18: Nico Collins is one of the best wide receivers in 590 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 18: the league. They have a quarterback that is a dime dropper. 591 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 18: They have other pieces in place, but they just can't 592 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 18: get it done now. Joe Mitchen is not available. And 593 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 18: last year, what Joe Mitchen did, he was able to 594 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 18: kind of steady the offense out with the running game. 595 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 18: But without a consistent running game, so much is on CJ. 596 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 18: Stroud and the scheme just doesn't create winners for him, 597 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 18: enough winners for this offense to exist without a running game. 598 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 18: I just don't see how they get this done in 599 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 18: the near future, particularly with the Indianapolis Colts running away 600 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 18: with division. 601 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 2: I just think this offense is broken beyond repair. 602 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 5: All Right, The Bengals offense is actually working much better 603 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 5: since Joe Flacco got There are five touchdowns, no interceptions 604 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 5: with him as the starter, can he keep the Bengals 605 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 5: in contention until Joe Burrow can return in December? 606 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 18: Judy Yes, And I'm gonna say this as a retired gamer, 607 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 18: if I could pick up the sticks and play with 608 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 18: his team, I will play with the. 609 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals with Joe Flecco. 610 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 18: And part of that reason is because he is going 611 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 18: to air it out without fear. And when you think 612 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 18: about the weapons that Cincinnati Bingos have on the outside, 613 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 18: Jamar Chase on one side, t Higgins on the other, 614 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 18: you still have multiple tide ends that can get loose 615 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 18: down the middle. They can attack you in so many 616 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 18: different ways. And because Joe Flacco has seen every possible 617 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 18: defensive tack is that you can throw at this offense. 618 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 2: He knows how to stay in attack mode and Chase. 619 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 18: Brown being able to give them a similus of a 620 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 18: running game because now defenses have the back off. The 621 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 18: Cincinnati Bengals have found something, and they found something in 622 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 18: a very old quarterback who still has a little life. 623 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 10: Lifting it all. 624 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 4: Let's stuck it down, hurts fakes, he's packed, he's looking, 625 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 4: he is going deep. 626 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 10: He wants the funte smith. 627 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 4: He has it twenty fifteen ten to five touchdown, the 628 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 4: fun times Smith beat Rogers. 629 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 2: They set that one up perfectly. 630 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 13: Smithy just outruns a secondary and into the end zone 631 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 13: for the touchdown. 632 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 12: I don't say seventy done yard touchdown pass from Hertz 633 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 12: to the Vontee Smith, perfectly. 634 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 10: Thrown ball by Jalen Hurts. He dropped a dime. 635 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 2: And they all lived happily. 636 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 4: Ever, maybe for one week at least. Brian Baldinger and 637 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 4: Mark ross Baldi, You've got the call on Eagles Giants 638 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 4: for Compass Media this coming Sunday.

Excuse me. I 642 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: did talk about it coming into that game. 643 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: They wanted to lean on the running game more, and 644 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 4: they did early on, but at some point they had 645 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 4: to open it up because Minnesota was king on that 646 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 4: running game obviously, So your thoughts on the Eagles offensive 647 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 4: change a little more under center as well? 648 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, they did. 649 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 11: And I talked to Kevin Patula before the game on 650 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 11: the sideline and they wanted to go under seven. 651 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 10: They wanted to play action. The play action pass it. 652 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 11: We just saw DeVante Smith for seventy nine yards and 653 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 11: third quarter was a result of that. 654 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 10: They also did somewhere. 655 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 11: You know, Jalen, like a lot of quarterbacks the league, 656 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 11: under center, you know, full play action where he's turning 657 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 11: his back to the defense, seven step drops, getting the 658 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 11: ball down the field. They wanted to get more of 659 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 11: that because they wanted more explosive plays and they just 660 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 11: weren't getting them, and so they kind of looked at 661 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 11: what a lot of other. 662 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 10: Teams were doing in the league and they're like, we 663 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 10: could do the same thing. And so, you know, Jalen 664 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 10: had a career day and a lot of guys got fed, 665 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 10: and guy's pretty happy. 666 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 11: But I thought that was a pretty significant The other thing, 667 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 11: when Jalen's under center, you know, Saquan is seven or 668 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 11: eight yards deep and he I talked to Saquan about that, 669 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 11: and he wanted that opportunity to have more time to 670 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 11: see back lanes and. 671 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 10: Some opportunities that he did get earlier in the game. 672 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 11: He didn't have a great yarnage game, but I thought 673 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 11: he had a couple of good runs and I think 674 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 11: we'll see more of that against the Giants this Sunday Mark, 675 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 11: because I think it's something that they need to evolve into, 676 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 11: just because the way teams are playing in this league 677 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 11: right now, with those umbrella and shell defenses, you got 678 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 11: to find ways to get ball down the field and 679 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 11: play actions working for a lot of good offenses in. 680 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 12: This league, right Baldy, I'm talking about getting the ball downfield. 681 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 12: What did we see throughout this season about Jalen and 682 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 12: those receivers, the miss balls downfield that he didn't hit, 683 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 12: And I think that was the biggest part of that game. 684 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 12: But why he was so sharp is that he executed 685 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 12: and he hit the big plays downfield to AJ, to Devonte, 686 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 12: the touchdown in the fourth quarter to AJ Brown. You 687 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 12: couldn't on that skinny post, you can't throw a better 688 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 12: ball than that than Jalen did. So that was the 689 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 12: sharpest I have seen him since the Super Bowl. 690 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: But then also. 691 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 12: Layering that was that he made play when there was pressure. 692 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 12: So he made plays when it was on time, within rhythm. 693 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 12: But that third and thirteen play where he got out 694 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 12: of pressure in the fourth quarter and hit Aj on 695 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 12: the sideline, I mean that shows you the magic that 696 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 12: he has. So I thought that was the biggest play 697 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 12: of the game. So if they can execute like they 698 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 12: did against Minnesota against the Giants, then they'll be rolled 699 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 12: in the rest of the season. 700 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts was asked today by the media about Jackson Dart, 701 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 4: having seen him live a couple of weeks ago, in 702 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 4: that Eagle's disappointing loss to the Giants, but certainly not 703 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 4: disappointing from the Giants end of things. 704 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 2: Their rookies were sensational. 705 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 4: Baldy Dart had the fourth and nineteen play the other 706 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 4: day against Denver and some other impressive plays, had the 707 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 4: interception as well, So you're looking at his tape from 708 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 4: a rookie perspective, some really good stuff to build on. 709 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 10: I assume right. 710 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 11: I think he has pretty rare pocket presence. It's not 711 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 11: something I believe you can coach. I believe you have it, 712 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 11: you don't have it. He doesn't panic, but he doesn't 713 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 11: play frantically either. 714 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 10: He steps, he finds the old. 715 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 11: This is he did it a number of times against 716 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 11: the league, that against the team Sunday that leads the 717 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 11: league in SAPs. And you know, he keeps his eyes 718 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 11: down the field during the whole time, even like right here, 719 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 11: like this ability just to step up and then make 720 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 11: this throw right here to Bellinger for. 721 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 10: The first touchdown of the game. 722 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 11: It's an example of it, but there were four or 723 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 11: five examples of that. Now it's nice, it'd be good 724 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 11: if you know me. It's good to have a little 725 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 11: luck like that fel coming and taking that ball off 726 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 11: the miss catch bike why now? But he has rare 727 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 11: pocket presence that shows up week in week out that 728 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 11: allows them to make some of these plays off schedule, 729 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,479 Speaker 11: as Brian Dable likes to call loose plays. 730 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 10: He creates those because of his movement. 731 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 12: No doubt, Maudy, you saw that at all, miss, and 732 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 12: that's why the Giants were so exciting. You're seeing already 733 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 12: why they trade it up to get the guy because 734 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 12: you do see that movement and that moxie and his toughness. 735 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 12: I would like to see him stop trying to emulate 736 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 12: his buddy Cam's gataboo. And you know every game he's 737 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 12: taking hits and he's kind of limping around, so it 738 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 12: starts starting to get down a little bit more. But yeah, 739 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 12: that'll be important for the Giants again if they want 740 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 12: to upset the Eagles in that first matchup. They really 741 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 12: the Giants bully bullied. 742 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 2: You know, the Eagles up. 743 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 12: Front were scattab who had ninety eight yards rushing and 744 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 12: then Jackson Dart had fifty eight. So it'll be interesting 745 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 12: to see if they come with that game plan again, 746 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 12: if they can bully the Giants the Eagles again in 747 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 12: the run game. But you know the Eagles are going 748 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 12: to be focused on that, so Ken Jackson Dart take 749 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 12: his game to another level there to counteract with. You know, 750 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 12: VIC Dangers going to try to cut out there. 751 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: And now for good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance. The 752 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: Bears defense has forced three plus takeaways in each of 753 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: their last four games, all Chicago wins. That ties to 754 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,959 Speaker 1: the longest streak since the twenty nineteen Steelers went five 755 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: straight games with at least three takeaways. Bears also lead 756 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: the league with three games of at least four takeaways. 757 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen doing one heck of a job. They look 758 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: for their fifth straight wins Sunday against the one and 759 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: five Ravens. I got a fantasy team that's won in 760 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: six Why, well, I we don't have a perfect lineup 761 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: in that league. If he did have the perfect lineup 762 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: last week, this is what it would have looked like. 763 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: Not some surprises like Christian McCaffrey and Jamar Chase. Definitely 764 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 1: surprises with the likes of Bo Nicks working his way 765 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: into that mix. If you don't know perfect lineup, well 766 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: it's time to Marcus. My words were accurately Marcus Marcus 767 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 1: Grant's words about his fantasy sleepers going into week eight. Marcus, 768 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: you've been on a hot streak on this show. Give 769 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: me somebody at the quarterback position you'd put out there 770 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: that people aren't thinking about. 771 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 19: Well, obviously, we got six teams on a buy this week, 772 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 19: so a lot of people look at for quarterback help. 773 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 19: Michael Pinnox has a really good opportunity, and I know 774 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 19: for the most part it's been sort of with him 775 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 19: in fantasy this year, but he's done well in positive matchups. 776 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 19: Had twenty four points against the Bucks in Week one, 777 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 19: eighteen against Washington in Week four. Great matchup this week 778 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 19: against the Dolphins. They are the fourth best matchup for 779 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 19: quarterbacks this season. Only two guys have had fewer than 780 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 19: eighteen points against the Dolphins. One was Bryce Young when 781 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 19: ric o'dowdell was running for two hundred yards. The other 782 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 19: was Dylan Gabriel and his second career start in a 783 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 19: rain storm Vinifiliga four. A running back, may I suggest 784 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 19: Cuba Hubbard, which maybe wasn't a sleeper in the early 785 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 19: part of the year, but with Rico Dowdell taking over, 786 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 19: it's become a two man backfield there in Carolina. Last week, 787 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 19: Hubbard led in snaps. The touches were nearly identical this week, 788 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 19: with Andy Dalton likely getting the start. I expect Carolina 789 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 19: to lean on their running game going against that Bill's 790 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 19: run defense that's given up nearly six yards per attempt 791 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 19: so far this season. Only the Titans have given up 792 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 19: more rushing touchdowns to running backs than the Bills have, 793 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 19: So Cuba very much in play this week. 794 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,720 Speaker 1: Six buys tons of injuries clear at the tight end position. 795 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: Everybody was riding the Darren Waller train for two three 796 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: weeks there he just landed on ir They might need 797 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: some help. 798 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 2: Who should they be picking up? 799 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 19: Mason Taylor has been a very popular ad and a 800 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 19: very popular streaming option for a lot of folks this season. 801 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 19: Breeze Hall right now day to day. Garrett Wilson not 802 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 19: practicing on Wednesday, so Mason. 803 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 10: Taylor, come on down. 804 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 19: He's been the number two target in this offense and 805 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 19: it hasn't mattered if it was justin fields or Tyrod 806 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 19: Taylor on the field. Now he's got a great matchup 807 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,760 Speaker 19: against Cincinnati. Been bad in pretty much every single regard. 808 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 19: Then at wide receiver. Look at Wandale Robinson, who very 809 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 19: quietly is the wide receiver. Nineteen through seven weeks, He's 810 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 19: top twenty in the league in targets, receptions, and receiving 811 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 19: yards twenty five percent target share within the context of 812 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 19: the offense. Had a twenty point game when the Giants 813 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 19: played the Eagles just a couple of weeks ago. So 814 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 19: I would expect, you know, with the Giants obviously leaning 815 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 19: heavily on Jackson Dart and camp Scataboo, Wandale Robinson's going 816 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 19: to be a big part of things as well. 817 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: I am a habitual streamer of defense. Marcus picked up 818 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: the Rams last week, big performance. Now they got to 819 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: buy who should I pick up? 820 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 19: If the Colts are still out there, and they are 821 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 19: out there in a surprising number of leagues, I would 822 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 19: go grab them. 823 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 10: Now. 824 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 19: Last week I told you to go get the Patriots 825 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 19: going against the Titans, in New England eighty nineteen points. 826 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 19: I know the Titans making some changes on offense, Mike 827 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 19: McCoy taking over as the interim head coach. They're trying 828 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 19: to simplify the offense. But until they show me something, 829 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 19: we're still targeting them. They're not good on the ground, 830 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 19: they're not great through the air. They give a ton 831 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 19: of giveaways. They have the second most sacks that they've surrendered. 832 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 19: The Colts have been very good defensively and on their 833 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 19: way to what they have one of the best records 834 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 19: in the NFL right now. So until I see some 835 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 19: more out of Tennessee, I'm going to keep targeting with 836 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 19: my streaming defense. 837 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 2: Spoiler. 838 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: I did pick up the Colts already, put them in 839 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: for the Rams, drop Darren Waller in the process. See, 840 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: this is a very personal segment for me. It all 841 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,959 Speaker 1: comes together. Marcus, Thank you very much.
