1
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful night for football at MetLife Stadium. Week

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: three kicks off in just a couple of hours. It's

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: the Jets, it's the Patriots. It's Mike Garifolo who joins

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: us on the field before tonight's AFC East Tilt to

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: break it all down Newell? Who else is on the

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: field in pads? That's right, it's that guy, Jordan Love

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: Real video from today. Here what Packers coach Matt Lafleur

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: has to say about QB one's possible return. Plus. You

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: are running out of time.

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: Repeat, you are running.

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: Out of time to set your fantasy lionps.

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: But don't do it yet.

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: Michael Leflorio is going to be here to tell you

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: who to sit and to start. We're always a start,

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: even though ironically we're usually sitting welcome inside with the insiders,

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: alongside Ian Rappaport, Judy Batista, and a Natalie dressed Mike Garifolo.

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: I am Tom Pelicero. We've got a lot of injury

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: news around the NFL to get to, but let's start.

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: Because Mike is worried to tie and he put on

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: the sunglasses. I didn't know he was gonna do it,

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: but it's an outdoor game. This is what Garafolo does,

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: Mike to the extent that you can see. So I

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: don't think you really need the shades in the shade

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: right now. Tell me what you're looking forward to here

25
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: Monday night.

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: The Jets are not in the shade. Whatever we are,

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: we're not in the shade.

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: The sun has not yet disappeared behind the grand stand here.

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 3: I guess we'll call it when it does. I will

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 3: take the shades off. Listen.

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: I was here on September eleventh last year. Aaron Rodgers

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: came out carry out American flag.

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: It was one of the most electric.

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: Yes, it was one of the most electric stadium environments

35
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 4: I think I've ever seen outside. I mean I even

36
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: include a Super Bowl. This place was absolutely rocking. There

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: was so much anticipation, so much expectations for the Jets,

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: and then four plays in, Judy's next to me and

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: I go, I think you.

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: Just tore his achilles. So here we are.

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: Here's the reset, and I'm expecting a similar type atmosphere,

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: but one that the Jets fans hopefully are going to

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: expect to carry through.

44
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: The entire game. And then it's gonna last more than

45
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: four steps, and that.

46
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: They're gonna come out victorious and that they're gonna be

47
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 4: two to one on the season with Rogers now showing signs.

48
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: Of being the guy that he was.

49
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: Look, this offense is never gonna be I've already seen

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: the numbers about how oh this is the fewest total

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: yards for Aaron Rodgers through two games.

52
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: There.

53
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: Forget that that's all out the window. This is not

54
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: Rogers is gonna throw forty touchdowns. This is gonna be

55
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: more of a ball control offense and an offense that

56
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: at the right time when they need plays, Aaron Rodgers

57
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 4: is gonna be.

58
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: Able to make him. He did it even against the

59
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: forty nine ers.

60
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 4: They showed him in those spurts the thrown Allen Lazard

61
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: and a couple of the throws on the other scoring

62
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: drive that they had. He saw it against the Titans.

63
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: They want to see it now against the Jets. It

64
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: would be the first time the Jets won consecutive games

65
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: against the Patriots. It's like two thousand and eight I

66
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 4: think was the year that I saw. So this is

67
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: gonna be for Jets fans. They hope a cathartic evening

68
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 4: here at MetLife which Rogers called jetlife earlier this week.

69
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 6: Well after Rogers got hurt.

70
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 7: Last year, the thing that kept the Jets from completely

71
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 7: imploding was the defense. I am looking tonight to see

72
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 7: if the defense this year is going to look more

73
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 7: like what we saw last year than.

74
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 6: It has in the first two weeks.

75
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 7: Last week, against the Tennessee Titans, it looked a little

76
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 7: bit better. They got more of a pass rush, although

77
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 7: of course they lost Jermaine Johnson to the Achilles injury.

78
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 6: But Will McDonald's came through.

79
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 7: They're going to need more from him certainly the rest

80
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 7: of the way with Hassan Reddicks still not reporting to

81
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 7: the team, but they're also going to need more of

82
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 7: the run defense.

83
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 6: It again was a little bit better.

84
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 7: Against the Titans than it was against the forty nine ers,

85
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 7: but they're still giving up on a ton of yards

86
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 7: and you've got to think the New England Patriots are

87
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 7: going to give them a heavy dose of Romondre Stevenson

88
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 7: in this game. So I'm looking to see if the

89
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 7: Jets defense can take a step forward tonight.

90
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 5: I'm looking to see how much this Jets defense actually

91
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: gets tested by this Patriots offense. So let's kind of

92
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: turn the focus there. We know it spent a lot

93
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 5: of time in the offseason and leading up to the

94
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: season talking about the Patriots quarterback situation. Jacoby Brissett, Well,

95
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: now we've kind of turned our focus to the Patriots receivers.

96
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: Pop Douglas, one of the Patriots really young talented receivers,

97
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 5: I would.

98
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: Say, said some words this week.

99
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 5: Then maybe he's not exactly getting the opportunity to showcase

100
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 5: what he's got.

101
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 8: And Jeron Mayo was asked.

102
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 5: About this and he said, yeah, he said, we want

103
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 5: people to be frustrated if they don't have targets every game.

104
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 8: There's a couple of people who are frustrated.

105
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 6: That's what you want.

106
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: You want them to be competitive.

107
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 5: That's it haven't been a ton of passing yards over

108
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 5: the first couple of games one hundred and twenty one.

109
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: That one hundred and forty nine from Jacoby Presett, and

110
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 5: it seems like the Patriots receivers have been essentially non existent.

111
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 5: A lot of Remandrie Stevenson, a lot of Hunter Henry,

112
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: not as much of stretching the defense, not as much

113
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 5: of the receivers.

114
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 6: Is that going to change?

115
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 8: Saying are we going to see Jacoby Brissett kind of

116
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 8: air it out.

117
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: You know.

118
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 5: It's like the old saying goes the squeaky wheel gets

119
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: the thing. And we'll see if the Patriots adhere to

120
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 5: that old adage later today it's.

121
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: The great it's not the thing. What what version anyway? Okay,

122
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: we're just gonna let that one, Petrie think.

123
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 5: You know what.

124
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Listen, you get to play to the players that you have.

125
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: They think the best way right now, ball control, play

126
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: good defense. Case in point, the Packers doing the same

127
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: thing last week with Malik Willis. But there appears to

128
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: be at least a chance that this week it's going

129
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: to be Jordan Love. He was on the practice field

130
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: again today. He was in pads, another significant step. There's

131
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: certainly no guarantee yet that that means Jordan Love is

132
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: going to return to action on Sunday against the Titans,

133
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: who happened to be Malik Willis's old team. Remember Jordan Love,

134
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: She suffered that MCL screen thirteen days ago in Brazil.

135
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: The original timeline was three to six weeks. Certainly there

136
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: was optimism from the start that he was going to

137
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: be on the lower end of that timeline, but this

138
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: would be something less than that. That would be a

139
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: change from last week when they downgraded Jordan Love's Saturday

140
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: Morning to doubtful. They were certainly ian through the course

141
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: of the week. Here at least some optimisms in terms

142
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: of a week ago that maybe Jordan Left had a shot,

143
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: but they knew by the end of the week it

144
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: wasn't going to happen this time around. Mat Lafleur is

145
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: saying we're going to go all the way until Sunday.

146
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: What does that mean for the reps the Love is

147
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: getting during the course of the week, What does that

148
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: mean for preparing Malik Willis. I would think the packers

149
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: have a pretty good grasp on what direction this might go,

150
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: but time will tell. We might still be close to

151
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: seventy two hours away.

152
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 5: Man Made Lafour hates those injury focused press conferences.

153
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 8: He just hates them.

154
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 5: You could see the gritted teeth having to explain he's

155
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 5: just limited.

156
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 8: Okay, He's just limited.

157
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: So we will find out later in the week whether

158
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 5: or not Jordan Love is going to play and how

159
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 5: limited he is. You're right, this is much faster than

160
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 5: I think anyone anticipated. I would also say that Jordan

161
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 5: Love is the kind of guy who would be fine

162
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 5: putting a brace on it not being himself, and as

163
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 5: long as he can hurt himself more, as long as

164
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 5: he can kind of stay out of harm's way, He's

165
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 5: going to go out there and try to play. What's

166
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 5: going to be fascinating to me to watch guys as

167
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 5: we get later in the week is how much of

168
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 5: this is actually a coaching decision rather than is Jordan

169
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 5: Love healthy enough decision?

170
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 8: It's a long season.

171
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 5: They literally won last week by handing the ball off

172
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 5: and making sure Malik Willis just had.

173
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: Some easy completions.

174
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 8: They can do that again and make.

175
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 5: Sure that Jordan Love doesn't put himself in a situation

176
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 5: that is disadvantageous to him. I just wonder if the

177
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 5: coach say, you know what, respect you amazing, you're out here.

178
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 8: It's just not worth it.

179
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 5: But that decision, as Lafour said, might be ninety minutes

180
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 5: before kickoff.

181
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I'm still keeping hope alive for

182
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 7: the theleak Well vengeance game.

183
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 6: That's what I was looking forward to.

184
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 7: Even if Jordan Love plays, you have to think that

185
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 7: they are going to lean heavily on the running game.

186
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 6: They've been running the ball really well.

187
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 7: Obviously in week two they had to run the ball

188
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 7: well and they ran it a lot. But even in

189
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 7: Week one in Brazil they ran for one hundred and

190
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 7: sixty yards, so they've been running the ball well. They

191
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 7: can sort of even if they put Love on the field,

192
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 7: they can protect him by running the ball on a

193
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 7: lot and not putting the game solely.

194
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 6: In his hands. Listen, nothing else.

195
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 7: This is forcing the Titans to consider the possibility that

196
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 7: Love is on the field and to prepare for that,

197
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 7: at least to some degree. I still have to think

198
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 7: if he's on there, though, it's going to be in

199
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 7: a very limited capacity.

200
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, with mcl injuries, you'll turn the corner, and you'll

201
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: turn the corner quickly.

202
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: It's just a question of when that happens.

203
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: And it seems like it's starting to happen here for

204
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 4: Jordan Love this week.

205
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: So you know, the way that.

206
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 4: Matt Lafleur is not giving any insight, refuses to answer

207
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: these questions, it's actually a pretty entertaining give and take

208
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 4: with reporters in the last couple of days. Leads me

209
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: to believe that he thinks that Jordan Love truly has

210
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: a shot.

211
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: Here, and once the Titans to prepare.

212
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 4: For both quarterbacks, spend less time preparing for the actual starting.

213
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: Quarterback of the team, so you can go into there

214
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: with that advantage from that standpoint.

215
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: At the very.

216
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: Least, another quarterback injury.

217
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: We're keeping an eye on Justin Herbert, the Chargers quarterback

218
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: who got.

219
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 6: Banged up a little bit in the game.

220
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: Didn't miss a snap last Sunday, but didn't pract this

221
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. A good sign here that he's making another

222
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: step forward. Here you can see him win in the backgrounds.

223
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: The guy in the yellow jersey throwing there, he had

224
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: his ankle heavily taped, according to reporters on the scene.

225
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Officially listed as limited today, Jim Arva said he just

226
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: hopes that he gets a little bit better each day.

227
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: You know, Justin Herbert, if he can be out there,

228
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: he will be out there. If not, it would be

229
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: Easton Stick getting the start against the Steelers. Meanwhile, we

230
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: know Cooper Cupp is not going to be out there

231
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: for the Rams this week in a game against the

232
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. And it's fair to say Lack's quite

233
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: a bit of star power. You got no Puka Nakua,

234
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: no Cooper Cup, no Christian McCaffrey, no Deebo Samuel, but

235
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: unlike some of those other guys, Ian Cupp, it still

236
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: sounds like maybe there's a chance he could avoid injured reserve,

237
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: which would take him out for a full four games.

238
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: I'd say there is a chance.

239
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: Here's where it stands with Cooper Cup, of course, one

240
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 5: of the best young receivers in the NFL, who has

241
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 5: batted some injuries over the course of the best couple

242
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 5: of years. He is currently in a cast, which it

243
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 5: sounds terrible, It's not terrible. It is a high ankle sprain.

244
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 5: Generally those are four to six weeks. That's why say

245
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 5: there's a chance he could maybe be back at that

246
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 5: four week mark, maybe just misses three weeks. So I

247
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 5: think for the rams they have at least have kept

248
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: the door open. The reason you put him in a

249
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 5: cast is because that's the best way to get the

250
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 5: ankle just to do nothing, just to absolutely calm down,

251
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 5: try to get some of the swelling down.

252
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: Really keep it immobile.

253
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 5: Probably going to be in it for about a week

254
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: or so, and then you hope that two weeks if

255
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 5: rehab and get him out on the field a little

256
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: earlier than anticipated Phukinaku also out. Whole Rams offensive line

257
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: seems out. It is, guys, been a lot for the Rams.

258
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 5: You talked about the game with the forty nine ers.

259
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, the two teams will be there in

260
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: jerseys and helmets and all the other stuff they wear.

261
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: It's maybe a lot.

262
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 5: Of players that we do not recognize on the field

263
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: when these two teams play.

264
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 7: You know, our colleague Jeffrey Shdilla does his First Reads

265
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 7: column on Monday, and he did this week Patience or Panic,

266
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 7: and he put the Rams in the panic category, and

267
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 7: I have to agree with him. This is a pretty

268
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 7: dire situation now. Not only are the wide receivers banked up,

269
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 7: but they're not running.

270
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 6: The ball really at all.

271
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 7: Kien Williams has thirty carries so far for seventy five yards.

272
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 7: They're also not doing well on defense. The pass defense

273
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 7: obviously got shredded by Kyler Murray last week. So the

274
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 7: problem here is that they're going to have to win

275
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 7: games in shootouts because they are last in the league

276
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 7: in total defense and next to last in scoring defense.

277
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 7: You're going to have to put up a ton of points.

278
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 7: You still have Matthew Stafford, but who is he getting

279
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 7: the ball to try to have that explosive offense that

280
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 7: they're going to need. Pretty tough situations for the Rams

281
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 7: right now at Owen two.

282
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean tough situation for both teams. And let's

283
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 4: pull back the curtain here a little bit. As we're

284
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 4: putting this show together here, we're getting reports out of

285
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 4: San Francisco from the reporters on the scene, including my

286
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 4: buddy Eric Branch out there says George Kittle hamst and

287
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: cornerback Sharvarius war Ward hamstring slash knee were not spotted

288
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: at practice today. So I mean you looked at this

289
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: game maybe a couple of weeks ago, and you thought, wow,

290
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 4: great NFC West battle. We are losing a lot of

291
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: key players left and right, which is not to say

292
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: that that Kittle and Ward are not going to play,

293
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 4: but not a great sign that those guys are experiencing

294
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: hamstring issues here on a Thursday. So there will be

295
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: no excuses on either side of this game. And Sean

296
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: McVay in particular, I know he's always tries to be

297
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 4: a positive guy, and he's been trying to be positive

298
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: through all this injury stuff, saying inside that building let's

299
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: just keep moving forward, no excuses, Next man up. And

300
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 4: the hope is that, because these injuries aren't necessarily season ending,

301
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 4: that you stay afloat and the cavalry comes back at

302
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 4: some point. If you can avoid suffering even more injuries,

303
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: keep this.

304
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 3: Thing going and make a playoff push later in the season.

305
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: Two night games for Garafolo this week, two sound systems

306
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: being checked in the background every single time that he

307
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: another monitor. Look at those beautiful eyes. How about that?

308
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have a couple of players who did not

309
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday, Ceedee Lamb, Trayvon Diggs. Coach Mike McCarthy,

310
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: though saying today not of high concern that they have

311
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: been off the field and today back in a limited capacity.

312
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: I understanding is Ceedee Lamb should be okay here he

313
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: is dealing with an ankle ian but unselling this is

314
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: anything that we're talking about in terms of these longer

315
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: term ones we've seen with other wide receivers.

316
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 5: No, this seems to be more of a kind of

317
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 5: make sure that he doesn't have too much mileage. If

318
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 5: he's a little banged up, get him off the field

319
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: when I'm come back limited, which of course.

320
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 8: He was today not a big deal for Ceedee Lamb.

321
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 5: The Mazi Smith injury as they check out his back,

322
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: he kind of injured, it seemed yesterday in practice. The

323
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 5: way the Cowboys defense has been idy, it's a little

324
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 5: more concerning. But for the Cowboys and for CD Lamb,

325
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 5: he is going to be a high, high volume target.

326
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 5: He is going to do a lot during games. I'm

327
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 5: not saying he's not going to practice this season, but

328
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 5: I'm just saying if they have to take him off

329
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 5: the field a little bit to preserve his full health,

330
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 5: that is probably a good thing for the Dallas Cowboys.

331
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 8: So no concern here.

332
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 5: It's not you know, this is not like let's say

333
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 5: the Rams or the forty nine Ers.

334
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 8: Much more minor for the Cowboys.

335
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys trying to bounce back from that ugly loss to

336
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: the Saints. The Ravens going to Dallas trying to avoid

337
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: an zero to three start. That'll be a fascinating one

338
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: to watch on Sunday. Chargers Steelers also going to be

339
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. We'll see if Justin Herbert's going to be

340
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: out there. Still doesn't sound like Russell Wilson's going to

341
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: be all the way back, which means another week of

342
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: that guy justin Fields. Can he do enough against the

343
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: talented Chargers team to hold onto that job a little longer?

344
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: We'll discuss it next on the Insiders.

345
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: You want too.

346
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: Well coached teams looking to play good defense and run

347
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: the ball.

348
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: This is your game right here.

349
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: This is the game for Cam Heyward at Pat Fryer

350
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: Mooths of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers Chargers coming up coming

351
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: your way Sunday, one pm right there on CBS. Looking

352
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 4: forward to this game as one of these two teams

353
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: we're gonna go to three to zero.

354
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: Omar Ruiz and.

355
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: Steve Weis joining us live from the NFL Network newsroom

356
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: out there in Englewood, California.

357
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: Steve, I want to start with you.

358
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: Let's talk about this vaunted Steelers defense, which I talked

359
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 4: to a coach the other night was covering the Falcons

360
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 4: Eagles games, that the Steelers may have the best defense

361
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: in the league, and not enough.

362
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: People are saying that.

363
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: So let's talk about that defense at Pittsburgh defense going

364
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: up against this Chargers running game.

365
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: Well, Mique alluded to it.

366
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 9: This is strength versus strength, right, The Chargers run the ball.

367
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: The Steelers are denying yards.

368
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 9: The Chargers are averaging two hundred rush yards a game.

369
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 9: The Steelers are allowing seventy six. So how is this

370
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 9: going to work?

371
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: Can TJ.

372
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: Watt and Cam Hayward and.

373
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 9: Alex Heismith take on this good offensive line that omar.

374
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 9: You know the Chargers are going to run it regardless

375
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 9: of how many yards per carry they're getting early on.

376
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: That's going to be the big part.

377
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 9: So they're going to have to play physical upfront. Patrick

378
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 9: Queen and those two safeties Mika Fitzpatrick and Deshaun.

379
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: Elliott are going to be filling the lanes.

380
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 9: We'll see if Justin Herbert, who's been bothered by that ankle,

381
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 9: is able to maybe do some play action stuff. But

382
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 9: that Steelers defense, when you watch how they reset the

383
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 9: line of scrimmage, this is the true test for the

384
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 9: Chargers going up against that front.

385
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 10: And you mentioned Justin Herbert did not practice yesterday, was

386
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 10: limited in practice today as they get ready for the Steelers.

387
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 10: But how about the story of JK.

388
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: Dobbins.

389
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 10: What an effort he has been so far this season,

390
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 10: leading the league in rushing. And you mentioned Patrick Queen.

391
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 10: Steve one of the Steelers linebackers charged with stopping JK. Dobbins,

392
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 10: and Queen is intimately familiar with Dobbin's story. First round

393
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 10: draft pick in the twenty twenty draft of the Ravens

394
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 10: was Queen. The second round pick was JK. Dobbins, and

395
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 10: Queen says they still talk about every other day, and

396
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 10: he remembers talking to Dobbins, who has missed most of

397
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 10: the last three seasons, all but one game last year,

398
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 10: missed the entire twenty twenty one year, missed most of

399
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 10: twenty twenty two, and qu remembers just talking to Dobbins

400
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 10: to hang in there, giving these motivational talks of resilience

401
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 10: and perseverance and have faith, and so to see Dobbins

402
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 10: perform this way now leaving the league and rushing for

403
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 10: the first two games has been genuinely happiness from Patrick Queen,

404
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 10: and he's been an inspiration for his Chargers teammates. Speaking

405
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 10: with Rashaun Slater earlier this week, he said, you fight

406
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 10: harder for.

407
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: A guy like JK.

408
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: Dobbins. They want to.

409
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 10: Block for him and make sure that they see him

410
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 10: has his efforts come to fruition and even Derwin James

411
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 10: joked with me yesterday that he's in practice going to

412
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 10: give JK. Dobbins his water directly, so really celebrating the

413
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 10: efforts of JK. Dobbins and really hoping that continues to

414
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 10: propel that running game forward for these twenty four Chargers.

415
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: A lot of strong candidates for a Comeback Player of

416
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 4: the Year this year. Aaron Rodgers is going to play

417
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 4: behind me tonight, one of them.

418
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: JK.

419
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 4: Dobbins firmly on that. Love to see what he's doing

420
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: out there with the Chargers.

421
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: Let's flip it around.

422
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: Now because Justin Herbert you talked about him being limited today,

423
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 4: but the expectation.

424
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: Is that he's going to play. So Justin against Justin.

425
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 4: Justin Fields for the Steelers here has done such a

426
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: great job of taking care of the football. So this

427
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: Chargers defense, Jesse Minter's crew, Steve, how do they have

428
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 4: to attack this game against the Steelers offense with Fields

429
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 4: again not making critical mistakes.

430
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: We're talking about the Steelers defense.

431
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 9: The Chargers have the top scoring defense in the NFL

432
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 9: right now, and part of that is because they're edge rushers.

433
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: Joey Bosa Khalil Mack tweet tweet below two.

434
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 9: Right, So, how do you make an ultra talented group

435
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 9: of edge rushers did diminish them.

436
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: You make the play assignment.

437
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 9: Football, and this is where Arthur Smith, the Steelers offensive coordinator,

438
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 9: is going to use the running skills of Justin Fields

439
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 9: and he's going to option him in the run option

440
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 9: and the RPO passing game to make those edge rushers

441
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 9: stay to their assignments because if they break integrity, that's

442
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 9: going to allow.

443
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: For a big play.

444
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 9: That is something that will be sniffed out eventually over

445
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 9: the game. Plus, as you're seeing here Justin Fields in

446
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 9: the playoffs and pass game, this is something that has worked.

447
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: So the run and the pass are going to have

448
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: to marry.

449
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: The big thing for the.

450
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: Steelers Omar is getting into the end zone.

451
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: They're not scoring touchdowns.

452
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 9: That could be an issue even though this is going

453
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 9: to be a three yards and a cloud of dust

454
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 9: type of game.

455
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, we talked about off camera the familiarity that some

456
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 10: of that Ravens or that Steelers defense has with his

457
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 10: Chargers offense, given all the former Ravens with Greg Roman

458
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 10: and his offensive coordinating style, the two running backs that

459
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 10: we mentioned Dobbins and then Gus Edwards. But there's also

460
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 10: familiarity from the Steelers for the Chargers defense, and that

461
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 10: goes back with Mike Tomlin and Jesse Mintor, the Chargers

462
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 10: defensive coordinators connection. Mike Tomlin was a defensive backs coach

463
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 10: at the University of Cincinnati for Rick Mintor, Jesse's dad,

464
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 10: and Tomlin's saying that Jesse Minter was a high school

465
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 10: student would come out to their practices and sometimes work

466
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 10: out with Mike Tomlin's crew. They're at the Bearcats facility,

467
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 10: and so obviously he has a connection with Minter has

468
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 10: followed his career and because of all the different players

469
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 10: that have NFL talent coming through the University of Michigan

470
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 10: the last couple of years, Tomlin says that he has

471
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 10: studied that University of Michigan defense, which is what Minter

472
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 10: has been able to move now to the LA Chargers.

473
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: But now he.

474
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 10: Has Khalil Mack, he has Joey Bosa, he has Derwin James,

475
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 10: all making plays. You mentioned. They're the number one scoring

476
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 10: defense steed in the NFL, number two overall, and speaking

477
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 10: with Derwin James earlier this week, he knows that the

478
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 10: Steelers have that reputation for defensive style of football, so

479
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 10: they want to go into Akroscher Stadium and put their

480
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 10: own stamp there and show that they are the best

481
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 10: defense in football. So two clash of the Titans out

482
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 10: of the Jim Harball, bringing that AFC North style of

483
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 10: football to the AFC West, and they'll have a true

484
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 10: test on Sunday.

485
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 2: In other words, might play the under.

486
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: Not allowed to. But thanks for the advice, Steve Reich.

487
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 3: We appreciated. Omar Ruiz.

488

Speaker 4: much much needed win against the Titans after that disaccording

491
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: loss Week one against the forty nine ers, and hey,

00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: Patriots and the Jets.

499
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: On Prime Video.

500
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 4: The start of Week three of the NFL season. With

501
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 4: both of these teams looking to go above five hundred.

502
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: The Jets have not yet been there this season.

503
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 4: So this is a fascinating matchup to watch between two.

504
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: Divisional rivals, and it's going to be a divisional rivalry after.

505
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 4: The Patriots have been dominating it for so many years. Look,

506
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 4: we're gonna talk so much about the Jets because we

507
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: know the juicy storylines on those sides.

508
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: So I don't want to ignore the Patriots side of things.

509
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: And a Patriots team that I remember.

510
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 4: Talking to the Seahawks folks last week said, boy, these.

511
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: Guys are tough. They play really tough defensively.

512
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: I want to talk about that defensive scheme in particular

513
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: because DeMarcus Covington as the defensive coordinator of the Patriots.

514
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 4: What he's doing, what I've been told he's doing, is

515
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 4: a lot of the traditional stuff that the Patriots ran

516
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: under Bill Belichick, some of that traditional Patriots stuff, and

517
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 4: he's blending it with what Drew Wilkins, the outside linebackers

518
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 4: coach who was with Wake Martindale with the Giants last

519
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: year and really with him in Baltimore before, a lot

520
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: of those Ravens blitz packages that they have all of

521
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: a sudden. The Patriots have introduced that as well, so

522
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 4: that is what has made it tough on not only

523
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 4: the Seahawks but also the Bengals the week before.

524
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: This defense is playing really really.

525
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 4: Well in Covington has done a great job so far

526
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 4: as this coordinator blending the traditional stuff that the Patriots

527
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 4: have done with some new fangled stuff. So let's see

528
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 4: if the Jets and Aaron Rodgers can try to start

529
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 4: to figure that stuff out as well, because it's been

530
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 4: a little bit difficult for some of the teams that

531
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: have played the Patriots so far. Judy, let's flip it

532
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 4: to the Jets offense because I know you want to

533
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: talk about one guy that they want to get invome.

534
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, they need to get Garrett Wilson going more. He

535
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 7: is sort of emblematic of the entire Jets offense. Right

536
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 7: They've been really good in spurts. He has had some

537
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 7: really like eye popping plays, but he hasn't scored a

538
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 7: touchdown yet. He's got only ten receptions. He's been really

539
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 7: good on third down. He had a great reception on

540
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 7: the game winning drive last week against the Titans. But

541
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 7: just like the entire offense as a whole, They need

542
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 7: to get him going sooner. They need to get the

543
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 7: entire offense going earlier. They have really been slow out

544
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 7: of the gate. I believe they've only scored one touchdown

545
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 7: in the first quarter so far this season. Aaron Rodgers

546
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 7: said it this week. They are slow going. They got

547
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 7: to get going faster than that. So this is going

548
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 7: to be a real test for this offense. The Patriots defense,

549
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 7: as you said, is throwing some different things at the

550
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 7: offenses they've faced so far. And really the Jets offense

551
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 7: is still very much a work in progress, Aaron Rodgers

552
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 7: said after the victory over the Titans. The offense is

553
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 7: not where it needs to be. They are still working

554
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 7: on it. They're still working out the kinks, but they

555
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 7: need to start ramping things up, and I believe that

556
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 7: starts with the main man, Garrett Wilson.

557
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: And one thing that's emerged for the New England Patriots

558
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 5: is that Ramandre Stevenson has basically been the main man

559
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 5: for New England. Remember signed a big contract extension before

560
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 5: the season, locked him in for years to come, and

561
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 5: always done is average one hundred yards over the first

562
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 5: two games and be the kind of really bruising back

563
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 5: this whole team has like an old.

564
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 8: School feel for the Patriots, right.

565
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 5: I mean it's a little bit of you know, four

566
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 5: yards and a cloud of those like black pebble things

567
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 5: that get in your shoes when you walk on the turf, right, Like,

568
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 5: that's basically what the Patriots offense has been. So we

569
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 5: can talk about Jacoby Brissett and I talked about the

570
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 5: receivers early in the show, but so much of what

571
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 5: they've done is simply hand the ball to of Andre Stevenson,

572
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 5: let him abuse the defense, and then go back and

573
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 5: play defense themselves. Try to take care of the football,

574
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 5: try to play ball control. That I believe is what's

575
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 5: going to get it done tonight. If the Patriots do

576
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 5: get it done, we know Aaron Rodgers and this Jets

577
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 5: offense could be explosive. We know they have their own

578
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 5: ways of keeping control of the clock and handing it

579
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 5: to their now two really talented running backs. If Andre

580
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 5: Stevenson can have a big game and keep this Patriots

581
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 5: offense on the field, they'll be just fine.

582
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

583
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: I don't think we're going to see a ton of

584
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 4: points tonight, but I would say that the Patriots probably

585
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 4: want this one to be more lower scoring and like

586
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 4: you said, Ian to control the pace of the game

587
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 4: and control how much they see of that Jets offense.

588
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: If you're watching the game today, if you're attending the

589
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 4: game tonight, maybe you're going to need this from the

590
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 4: New York Jets, who just posted this a short while ago.

591
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: I promise you they did.

592
00:25:59,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: Here.

593
00:25:59,359 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 9: It is.

594
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is.

595
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 4: Please grant whoever fill in your name the permission to

596
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 4: leave work early on September nineteenth. Oh see, I thought

597
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 4: it was for tomorrow. It's for today. You know what

598
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 4: it should have been for tomorrow, so you can sleep in.

599
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll post another one of those later on. I

600
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 3: won't need it because I'm off tomorrow, suckers.

601
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, elsewhere around the NFL, let's take a look at

602
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: some news. T Higgins back on the field for the

603
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals. He missed the first two games he had

604
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: that hamstring, so they're cautiously optimistic about higgins progress. We

605
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: shall see how much he'll be available against Washington coming up.

606
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 3: Will keep an eye on his status throughout the week.

607
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, AJ Brown, who told Lisa Salters before the broadcast

608
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 4: the other night.

609
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: He expects to miss a couple of weeks not spotted

610
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: at practice today.

611
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 4: He was listed as not practicing yesterday in a walk

612
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: through a projection. So it appears that aj Brown is

613
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 4: on pace to not play for the Eagles this weekend

614
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 4: against the New Orleans Saints. But the Eagles no place

615
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 4: to go on to irs that expect them back within

616
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 4: the four week window that he would have been down.

617
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 4: Meanwhill here are you notable first year eligibles from the

618
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 4: Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty five list.

619
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 4: I believe somebody told me that there are thirteen Patriots overall. Well,

620
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 4: you got the guy up top that beat the Patriots

621
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 4: twice in the Super Bowl. Eli Manning along with Marsha

622
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 4: Lytz Darren spells a lot of worthy guys right there

623
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: that we're going to be talking about as we get

624
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: closer to selecting the Hall of Fame class of twenty

625
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: twenty five. Speaking of that, I want to bring back

626
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 4: Judy Batista and Steve Weisch as well. You two are

627
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 4: part of a committee that will help narrow down the

628
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 4: list of names. Judy, starting with you, to explain the

629
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 4: process that is to come for the Hall of Fame.

630
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: Fastest twenty twenty five.

631
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, So the Pro Football Hall of Fame created these

632
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 7: screening committees, which is what Steve and I are going

633
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 7: to be on it.

634
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 6: This is the first year that they're doing it this.

635
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 7: Way, and our job is to narrow the list down

636
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 7: of eligible pass The list is one hundred and sixty

637
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 7: seven players long. Our job is to look at their

638
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 7: qualifications and narrow it down, vote for fifty to advance.

639
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 7: And then this committee it's eleven members. It's people like

640
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 7: Steve and me, media members, but it's also Hall of famers,

641
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 7: it's also former front office executives, football historians. So the

642
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 7: idea is just to get more voices and more thoughts

643
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 7: into the process of choosing the Hall of Famers, So

644
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 7: then we would get it down to fifty and then

645
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 7: it goes to the selection committee and they narrow it

646
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 7: down in steps. It's not easy because you just showed

647
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 7: the list of the first time eligible guys. There's people

648
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 7: who have been finalists before who haven't gotten in yet.

649
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 7: So there is an awful lot of competition for that

650
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 7: fifty spots.

651
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, there really is uty And because you know, even

652
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 9: though we have to narrow it from one sixty seven

653
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 9: to fifty, you still have to say, well, this guy's

654
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 9: all decade. So you understand what the selectors have to do,

655
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 9: and you mentioned it. Now we're part of the Modern

656
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 9: Era Hall of Fame Screening Committee, So the selectors now

657
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 9: will take that down to twenty five semi finalists eventually

658
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 9: to fifteen for voting on the five Modern Era finalists

659
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 9: as well as contributors and seniors.

660
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: But Julia, let's talk.

661
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 9: Let's talk about some of those first time eligible guys,

662
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 9: and the most the biggest discussion could come down to

663
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 9: Eli Manning, Right, is he somebody who advances all the

664
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 9: way to the finalist group or is he someone who's.

665
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: Got to wait a little bit.

666
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 9: Maybe he does even get to the fifteen finalists because

667
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 9: we know the two Super Bowls, but we also know

668
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 9: other than that, does he have the numbers?

669
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: Has he done enough?

670
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 9: Especially, you don't look at it all time when you

671
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 9: look at this committee, You look at the other people

672
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 9: that he has to go up against to advance, not

673
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 9: just quarterbacks, but other worthy people to be housed in Canton.

674
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 7: Well, that's always the challenge of the selection committee is

675
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 7: to waigh people perhaps who have been waiting to get in.

676
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 7: You know, it's a very small class that goes in.

677
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 7: So even if you think you know an Eli Manning

678
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 7: or a Marshawn Lynch or some of these other guys

679
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 7: Adam Van Terry deserve to go in quickly.

680
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 6: You have to weigh it against the group of former

681
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 6: players who have been waiting.

682
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 7: I am most interested to see, certainly what happens with

683
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 7: Eli Manning.

684
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 6: Mike and I.

685
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 7: Covered those Super Bowls, and I can attest that those

686
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 7: two Super Bowl runs were remarkable, and he played just

687
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 7: remarkable football during those runs. And of course they beat

688
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 7: the Patriots, who have a ton of players eligible this year,

689
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 7: which is just a testament to how dominant the Patriots

690
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 7: were for a very long time.

691
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 9: Well, Judy and Mike, real quick, I mean, besides Eli,

692
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 9: you talked about the people who have to wait. I

693
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 9: think some of the big conversation is going to come

694
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 9: back to Tory Holt and Reggie Wayne, the wide receivers

695
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 9: who've been finalists and who have been waiting. There are

696
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 9: other people on this list again, Jared Allen's of the World,

697
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 9: you mentioned somebody like Adam vinne Teri, who is very

698
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 9: well deserving to be a Pro Football Hall of Famer

699
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 9: does he get in this year? But a name I

700
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 9: want you to think about is Brian Mitchell, the returner

701
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 9: and running back.

702
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: In Washington for all of those years.

703
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 9: Now that Devin Hester entered the Hall of Fame as

704
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 9: a specialist mainly returner, I think there's gonna be a

705
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 9: lot more discussion around Brian Mitchell moving forward as his

706
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 9: process goes along.

707
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: If a lot of our viewers were not lucky enough

708
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: to see b. Mitch during his playing.

709
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 4: Days for Washington for Philadelphia, he was electured, he was

710
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 4: fantastic at what he did, so it's an interesting case

711
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 4: to bring up there.

712
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: Steve, appreciate it very much. Thank you, Steve, Thank you Judy.

713
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 4: We're talking about potential Hall of Famers. How about the

714
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 4: potential Hall of famers playing today in the NFL and

715
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: guys that can help your fantasy team. Michael f Florio

716
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 4: will be joining us coming up to talk about his

717
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 4: starts and his sins for Week three in fantasy in

718
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 4: the NFL.

719
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 8: That is JK.

720
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 5: Dobbins, the now star running back once again for the

721
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Chargers.

722
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 8: We'll see if he is going to make it three games.

723
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 8: He continues to be a.

724
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 5: Star we'll see even more importantly if he's going to

725
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 5: help your fantasy team. Of course, as we know, NFL

726
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: Fantasy Live returns tomorrow six pm on the NFL Network, starring,

727
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 5: among other people, that guy Michael f Florio. What's going on,

728
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 5: Welcome back to the insiders.

729
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 8: I don't have JK. Dobbins on my fantasy team. I

730
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 8: wish I did.

731
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 5: I didn't trust it enough. I thought he would be good.

732
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 5: I didn't think it'd be this good. That's a whole

733
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 5: different story for another time. Let's go through things that

734
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 5: will help my team and maybe some other people's team

735
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 5: as we welcome you in with that's Mike Carafol too. He,

736
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 5: by the way, is in my life. He's very happy

737
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 5: to see you too. Give me some starts for maybe

738
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 5: tonight and this weekend.

739
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, just like you, and I wish I had JK.

740
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 11: Dobbins on a lot more of my fantasy teams. But

741
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 11: I do have Zach Charbonay, and I am plugging him

742
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 11: in this week. Kenneth Walker looking unlikely to play, and

743
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 11: if he sits sharbone starts for your team.

744
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: Ninety six percent of the.

745
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 11: Snaps last week nineteen opportunities eighteen fantasy points. That is

746
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 11: elite usage. Even if he is not the most efficient runner.

747
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: That sort of volume makes him a.

748
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 11: Must start option every time Kenneth Walker sits. Plus, I

749
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 11: love the matchup the Dolphins got ran all over last week.

750
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 11: Jamison Williams is another one I think you need to

751
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 11: start this week. Twenty targets through two games. He's been

752
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 11: Jared Gobb's first read on thirty five percent of his throws.

753
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: He leads the lions and end zone targets. That is

754
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: all elite type of usage.

755
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 11: The ceiling is so high and a lot of points

756
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 11: should be scored in this game, I think you are

757
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 11: going to want to start players in it.

758
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 2: And then George Pickens.

759
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 11: If you just looked at the box score last week,

760
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 11: you would think George Pickens had a.

761
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: Very pointing game.

762
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 11: He had thirteen fantasy points called back through the penalties.

763
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 11: He had a fifty one yard catch wiped off and

764
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 11: then a touchdown catch wiped off the board. But it

765
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 11: looked to me like he was starting to really develop

766
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 11: chemistry with justin fields.

767
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 2: We know he has say volume.

768
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 11: The upside is high because they like to use him

769
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 11: downfield and he and the Steelers offense I believe will

770
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 11: be the biggest test so far for that Chargers defense.

771
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 11: So I'm fine starting George Pickens this week.

772
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 4: All right, Michael, if we're gonna ask you two questions,

773
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 4: who are your sits in week three? I want you

774
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 4: to answer that second of the one. I want you

775
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 4: to answer first because you alluded to it just now.

776
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 4: You said you wish you had JK. Dobbins on more

777
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 4: of your fantasy teams. How many teams do you have?

778
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 11: I have double digit fantasy teams, which I do not

779
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 11: recommend to people because Tuesday nights. Tuesday nights are rough

780
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 11: setting waivers, and unfortunately I have DeAndre slipped onto. Look,

781
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 11: I'm wearing blue and orange. It's not for the Bears.

782
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 11: It's for me and Ian's mets. But speaking of the Bears,

783
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 11: come out. It's been rough so far this year. DeAndre

784
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 11: Swift is averaging just two yards per intenpt. He is

785
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 11: negative four yards before contact, which means he is fighting

786
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 11: through contact just to get back to the line of scrimmage.

787
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: And I know, on paper, the Colts look like a

788
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 2: good matchup.

789
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 11: So maybe if you're like me with some desperate, really

790
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 11: banged up fantasy teams, you gotta play them, but otherwise,

791
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 11: if you have an option, I would try to get away.

792
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 2: Same thing with Terry McLaurin.

793
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:24,959
Speaker 4: Ah.

794
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 11: I had high hopes, but just eleven targets through two games.

795
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 11: He has been tethered to the left side of the

796
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 11: field with very low air yards per target, and the

797
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 11: Commanders do not have a passing touchdown yet on the season.

798
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 2: It is just a hard way to score fantasy points.

799
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 2: So until we see his usage.

800
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 11: Change, I'm okay sitting him in fantasy and then Jayden Reid.

801
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 11: He scored just six point six fantasy points last week

802
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 11: with Malik Willis, and most of that came on the ground,

803
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 11: as he had just.

804
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: Nine receiving yards.

805
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 11: The Titans defense has been playing very well so far

806
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 11: this year, and Leake.

807
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: Willis is the quarterback.

808
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 11: Jayden Reid's ceiling is probably a lot similar to what

809
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 11: his floor.

810
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: Is with Jordan Love. So as long as it's not

811
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: Love playing, I think you could see Jayden Reed. Do

812
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: you have one more second?

813
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,959
Speaker 5: I have some personal questions. Okay, I know this isn't

814
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 5: relevant to everyone, but I just I have some personal

815
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 5: questions too. Actually, one, how do you name all of

816
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 5: your teams? Answer that first. But then my second question

817
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 5: is actually have a decision. I have Rashid Shaheed who

818
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 5: is rising or Mike Evans who should I start this week?

819
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 11: Well, one, I get uncreative with a lot of my

820
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 11: like a lot of my team names are just like

821
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 11: Florio's team or something like.

822
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: That, because it's hard to name that many. They're one

823
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: of those guys.

824
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, in my main leagues, I name the teams

825
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 11: the wide receivers. I would still play Mike Evans. I

826
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 11: like Rashid shahied this week. The upside is high, but

827
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 11: I still.

828
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 2: Don't think you'd get away from Mike Evans shit yet.

829
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 4: All right, Michael, you helped me draft my team, so

830
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 4: you remember we drafted Will Levis. But I found myself

831
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 4: saying similar things to what Brian Callahan was caught on

832
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 4: camera saying.

833
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 3: So I'm out, I cut him. He's gone. The opportunity,

834
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 3: I'll let's tell you after the show.

835
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 4: The opportunity now presents itself because someone waved to.

836
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 3: A tongue of Ilo.

837
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 4: Now we know he's out for four weeks and the

838
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 4: Dolphins aren't rushing him, but I got a chance to

839
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 4: get a top flight quarterback to add to my roster.

840
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 4: So I guess my question to you is do we

841
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 4: buy toua or do we hawk to a?

842
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: Oh, right now, I would talk to him.

843
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 11: I don't want to waste a bench spot knowing that

844
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 11: he's not playing for at least a month.

845
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 2: I think if you get closer, you add him.

846
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 11: But you have Jaden Daniels, the QB three in fantasy football,

847
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 11: you without throwing a touchdown.

848
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: You're good?

849
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, thank you.

850
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 5: As always, I will take all.

851
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 8: Of your advice. Mike piped down over there.

852
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 5: We got other things to do, We got other fantasy

853
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 5: teams to talk about, not yours go away.

854
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: In fact, let's talk about this guy.

855
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 8: Let's talk about Marvin Harrison Junior, who every.

856
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 5: One of the world should have started last week, and

857
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 5: if you didn't, if he was on your bench and

858
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 5: he did all of those things.

859
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 8: You probably lost anyway.

860
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 5: Cardinals Lions preview coming.

861
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 8: Up next on The Insiders.

862
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 6: Well, let's Lions and Cardinals this weekend.

863
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 7: I have a feeling we're going to be talking a

864
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 7: lot more about Marvin Harrison Junior.

865
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 6: This week and probably every week that he is in

866
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 6: the NFL.

867
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 7: But the Cardinals, coming off the route of the Rams,

868
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 7: and of course the Lion's coming off that disappointing loss

869
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 7: to the box, Let's bring in our Omar Ruiz again.

870
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 7: He's spent a lot of time around the Arizona Cardinals. Obviously,

871
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 7: Kyler Murray went off last week. How do they keep

872
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 7: that going against the Lions defense?

873
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 10: What a performance? Yeah, third game in a row to

874
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 10: start the season for the Cardinals against teams that went

875
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 10: to the playoffs last year. Judy and Tyler Murray one

876
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 10: of the more electrifying performances of his career, that perfect

877
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 10: passer rating. They sent off his jersey to the Hall

878
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 10: of Fame in Canton, and after the game, Kyler Murray

879
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 10: told me that he's out there. It's a good feeling.

880
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 10: He's having fun. That Elijah Higgins touchdown pass where he

881
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 10: made three defenders miss it was a quintessential Tyler Murray play,

882
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 10: and he's playing with confidence. He says he knew as

883
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 10: soon as he threw the ball it was going to

884
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 10: be a touchdown to Higgins in the back of the

885
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 10: end zone. And obviously it's a team effort. Even before

886
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 10: that first touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison Junior, the Cardinals

887
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 10: offense opened up with runs of sixteen yards for James Connor,

888
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 10: thirteen yards for James Connor, essentially opening things up for

889
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 10: the passing game, and Kyler Murray saying, so all those

890
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 10: spectacular plays that he's making as a reflection of how

891
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 10: well the offense is doing, and those spectacular plays are

892
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 10: coming within the context of the offense.

893
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 8: He says, a big key for this season in Drew.

894
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 10: Petsing's offense is not feeling the pressure to having to

895
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 10: make the those crazy highlight reel plays. He can do

896
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 10: it when it comes to him, not force it. And

897
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 10: we're seeing the results of his great play here and

898
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 10: they hope it continues against the Lions on Sunday.

899
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 7: Judy Well, those great players, of course, came with Marvin

900
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 7: Harrison Junior. We saw him in that highlight reel there.

901
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 7: It seems like about a year ago that we were

902
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 7: all worried about his lack of activity in week one.

903
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 7: What should we expect in week three?

904
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 10: Well, I thought the interesting part and I think it

905
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 10: says a lot about Marvin Harrison Junior and why the

906
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 10: Cardinals thought so highly of him to make him the

907
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 10: first player off the board, not quarterback, was when he

908
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 10: came into the press conference room after the game, he

909
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 10: said he was glad the team won. He was happy

910
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 10: with his performance, but he looked at Kyler murray statline

911
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 10: seventeen of twenty one two hundred and sixty six yards.

912
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 10: Those four incompletions all came on passes directed toward Marvin

913
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 10: Harrison Junior. So he was already dwelling on how he

914
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 10: can be better week in week out and talking about

915
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 10: dealing with this success in his second game in the NFL,

916
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 10: he said, in dealing with that first game against the Bills,

917
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 10: we only had one catch for four yards, he said,

918
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 10: he focused on not being too low that week and

919
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 10: just focusing on the work and getting ready for the Rams,

920
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 10: and obviously that paid off with that huge performance in

921
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 10: the first quarter in the first half against the Rams.

922
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 10: He says, now the key is to not get too

923
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 10: high as they prepare for that Lions defense. Of course,

924
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 10: Aiden Hutchinson as dominating a player we've seen so far

925
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 10: on defense Indian NFL. Coming off that four and a

926
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 10: half SAT game against the Buccaneers, we saw him dominate

927
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 10: over the left tackle for the Rams in that week

928
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 10: one Sunday Night football performance. So even though this is

929
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 10: a big test for the Cardinals. They're just looking at

930
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 10: it as this is the third round of their season,

931
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 10: but obviously looking forward to the challenge and answering a

932
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 10: very physical team that we know that the Lions are

933
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 10: going to come in and bring in. I think what's interesting,

934
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 10: Judy's a lot of people in Arizona look at the

935
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 10: pattern that the Lions have set over the last several

936
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 10: years where they didn't run very many games. In Dan

937
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 10: Campbell's first year, they didn't win very many games for

938
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 10: the Cardinals and Jonathan Gannon and in the second year

939
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 10: and the third years continue to progress. It's an interesting

940
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 10: dynamic here for that Cardinals Lions matchup on Sunday.

941
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 7: I'm sure those Cardinals fans would take the results to

942
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 7: the Lions so have been getting recently.

943
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,480

Speaker 3: Back here at.

957
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 4: MetLife Stadium, I did getting closer to kickoff of Jets Patriots,

958
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 4: and it is a different world when it comes to

959
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 4: the Patriots these days than it's been over the last

960
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, twenty plus years or so. Now, if

961
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 4: you're Ian Rappaport, you've been hitting the face before. While

962
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 4: you're on the sideline, you're probably a little jumpy. Everybody

963
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 4: else should be, you know, realizing that Draw Mao is

964
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 4: playing a pipe.

965
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 3: Now, here's my goal for the for the evening.

966
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let you know right now. I don't think

967
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 4: he's watched. I think he's very busy.

968
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try and get him.

969
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try to get Jirodmeo with the same prank.

970
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 3: That he was playing on everybody else, and I'm gonna

971
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 3: try to get it on camera.

972
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 4: JB Chris, my producer, already told him what we're gonna

973
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 4: do here. He's got his phone ready, he's clearing out

974
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 4: the memory. I am gonna try to make I actually

975
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 4: think he's gonna make a great video either way.

976
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 3: If he doesn't flinch, it'll be.

977
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 4: Like, okay, you can play that prank because you didn't flinch.

978
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 4: If he does, we'll get him all right. But after

979
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 4: we do that, we're gonna get set.

980
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 3: What are we taking a look at? I'm being told

981
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 3: to take a look at this?

982
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: What do we got?

983
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 3: Tell me, Jeff Colllett, show me?

984
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 5: Oh no, why no?

985
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 3: Ahead, Look how big my shuit is?

986
00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 7: Look out huge, shoulder pads are huge.

987
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 8: And my tie is all distrubing or whatever you would say.

988
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right anyway, Yeah, you got it on a Yeah.

989
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: You're also now listen, so you're all show in better shape? Yeah,

990
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 3: a fat face there, So good on you for losing

991
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 3: weight as you get on.

992
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 8: Wow, aren't there other ways to describe that?

993
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 5: I mean, fat's not a very nice That's not something

994
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 5: we see nowadays in shape.

995
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 8: Thank you for noticing.

996
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 5: Chelby's also not very nice. It is a little bit

997
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 5: different in the way now. First of all, Yeah, let's

998
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 5: talk about the pajor So it is a little bit

999
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 5: different now. Not that Bill Belichick didn't have fun. He

1000
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 5: was definitely a fan of making fun of people. He

1001
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 5: definitely was a fan of Dad Humor, which Jeron Mayo

1002
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 5: clearly a fan of Dad humor, as am I by

1003
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 5: the way, as they noted Dad Joke Expert. But it

1004
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 5: really has taken on a very different vibe in me.

1005
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 5: One visit to the Patriot, you can tell things are

1006
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 5: a little different.

1007
00:44:58,960 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 2: The hope is that.

1008
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 5: This helps key the turnaround, the sort of new freer

1009
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,919
Speaker 5: culture duty. We'll see if it translates on the field,

1010
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 5: but it is definitely a different feel in that building.

1011
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no question. Listen.

1012
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 7: I was there when Girod Mayo was introduced. We were

1013
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 7: all there during training camp at some point. There's just

1014
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 7: sort of a little bit of lightness there. Which is

1015
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 7: not to suggest that Girod Mayo is, you know, a

1016
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 7: player's coach. He doesn't like that description. He's he ran

1017
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 7: a really hard training camp. But one thing I do

1018
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 7: think is, you know, we all talked during the training

1019
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 7: camp in preseason about how what's lacking on this roster that.

1020
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 6: They're still building up this roster.

1021
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 7: They are playing really hard for Girod Mayo, and we

1022
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 7: talked about it a little bit earlier in the show,

1023
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 7: like they're playing like a sort of old school football,

1024
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 7: tough defense, They're going to run the ball. This is

1025
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 7: how they are going to get through the season. He

1026
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 7: had a tough decision right out of the gate to

1027
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 7: make on Drake may and how to handle him. And

1028
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 7: you know, I do think that the team has sort

1029
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 7: of rallied around girod Mayo as a rookie head coach.

1030
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 4: I talked to Antonio Gibson, the running back, and he said,

1031
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 4: you get a former player and a guy who played

1032
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 4: in this league recently. He understands what we're going through.

1033
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 4: So it's been really great from that standpoint. Apparently the

1034
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 4: communication has been very good for Gerrod Meo as a

1035
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 4: head coach. The communication was not the greatest at times

1036
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 4: for players toward the head coach when Bill Belichick was

1037
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 4: the head coach and the communication toward Ian Rappaport that

1038
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 4: day in Houston, what year was it, twenty ten should

1039
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 4: have been heads up?

1040
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 3: In heads up, what's up?

1041
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: Look out in?

1042
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 5: Nobody said a word now one person, nobody said a word.

1043
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 3: Nobody could have said

1044
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 5: Like heads up, No heads up at all,
