1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Just six weeks into the twenty twenty five NFL season,

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: we already have one team in upheaval Brian Callahan out

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, another change for number one pick cam Ward.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: Hear what interim coach Mike McCoy said today about the

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: Titans plans from here. Patriots are in first place in

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: the AFC's for the first time in years, and the

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: offense they're building around Drake May is a big reason

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: why wide receiver to Mario pop Douglas joins the show

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: tonight to talk about what's brewing in New England. Whether

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: you're five and one or one in five in your

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: fantasy league, in my case, one of each, you can

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: always use a little help from the waiver wire. Nobody

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: better than Michael f Florio to join us tonight and

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: tell you who's worth targeting it now. Welcome inside with

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: the Insiders presented by Progressive Insurance, alongside Judy Batista and

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Mike Garafalo. I am Tom Pelisero. We are now officially

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: one third of the way through the twenty twenty five

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: NFL regular season, and we got some big name players

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: who could be back on the field in Week seven.

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: Let's start out in Kansas City or receive Rice's six

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: game suspension for violating the NFL's Personal Conduct policy, officially

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: expired on Monday. Andy Reid said he knows Rice is

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: in good shape. Still to be determined, though, what role,

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: if any, Rice will play on Sunday against the Raiders, Mike.

25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: How about another guy that's potentially coming back this week,

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: Cede Lamb.

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a chance to.

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Play against the Commanders this week.

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: That is according to doctor Jerry Jones, who said, actually,

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna necessarily play doctor or without playing doctor.

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: You've got to have a full week of practice. But

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: right now everything is looking optimistic when it comes to

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: Cede Lamb and a bunch of other key Cowboys. Dak

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: Prescott playing really well, only going to play better, you

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: think with Cede Lamb out there.

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: Right Maybe not quite so optimistic. In La, Rams receiver

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: Puka Nakua status is uncertain for Sunday's game in London

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: against the Jaguars. He is day to day with an

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: ankle injury he suffered last Sunday in the win over

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: the Ravens. Honestly, it looked a whole lot worse when

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: it first happened. Sean McVeigh said the team believes he

42
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 4: did avoid a long term injury after looking at the scans.

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: They have a bye after the London trip, so if

44
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: he does not play in London, he would get that

45
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 4: extra week to recover to be ready for the second

46
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: half of the season. The forty nine Ers, just up

47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 4: the coast, have had a ton of bad injury news

48
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: this season. Here's a bit of good news though. Titand

49
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: George Kittle is expected back at practice starting tomorrow. Kittle

50
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: has been on injured reserve with a severe hamstring injury

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: sustained in the season opener. He only played twenty one

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 4: snaps in that game. The hope, Kyle Shanahan said is

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: that all will go well in practice this weekend. Kittle

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 4: will be available this Sunday for the forty nine ers

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: game against the Falcons.

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy, farmer Chargers head coach, longtime NFL offensive coordinator,

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: introduced today as the Titans interim head coach, one day

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: after the firing of Brian Callahan. McCoy now now entrusted

59
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: largely with the development of cam Ward over the next

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,279
Speaker 1: twelve weeks. Here's a little what McCoy had to say today.

61
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: You know, we all have a part in this where

62
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 5: we are today. It's not just Brian, And that's the

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 5: unfortunate thing in this business that happens, and we all

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: have a hand in it, every player, every coach, every

65
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 5: person in the organization. We have to hold each other accountable.

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 5: So we all have to be accountable for everything we're

67
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: doing on a daily basis. So that's two things, you know,

68
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 5: that togetherness part of it and the accountability moving forward.

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 5: Those are two big things that I'm going to stress

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 5: to everybody because it's a bad feeling when you see

71
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 5: someone that's such a good person like Brian.

72
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 6: Have this happen to Meyer.

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Beware, if you're a head coach and drafting a quarterback

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: at number one overall, this is now four consecutive times

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: after drafting a quarterback number one that the head coach

76
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: has not lasted the season. Now not always the quarterback's fault.

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Fair to say, urban Meyer had a huge role in

78
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: his downfall. Frank Reich, Matt Eberfluss, now, Brian Callahan all

79
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: out with less than one season working with that number

80
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: one pick.

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: Mike speaking of that number one pick in twenty twenty four,

82
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: he faced number two once again in FedExField. Remember that

83
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: Hail Mary game last year? How would this one end?

84
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: Would it be nearly as dramatic? Cayleb Williams to DeAndre

85
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: Swift on the outside there, fifty five yard touchdown cuts

86
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: the lead to two after the failed two point conversion,

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five total yards for Swift on

88
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: the night. Commander's trying to salt this run away, however,

89
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels the fubble recovered by Nashan Wright. I know

90
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: a lot of folks said in these conditions, you're snapping

91
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: in the shotgun. Whatever has had an impact on this

92
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: game as well my fantasy game. We're gonna get to

93
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: that in just a bit. Here's Jake Moody. We need

94
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: a little bit of redemption and he founded with the

95
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: Bears the former forty nine er thirty eight yards.

96
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 3: To win the game.

97
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: Another dramatic between these teams. Now it's time for fresh takes,

98
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: presented by Chipotle Mark ross In here, Mark, let's talk

99
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: about how the Bears were able to get this win

100
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: against the Commanders.

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Showed a lot of offense there, but it was the

102
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: other side of the ball as well.

103
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, Mike, And this is why you hire a head

104
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 7: coach for the whole football team. You just don't go

105
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 7: with the hot coordinator, even though Ben Johnson was the

106
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 7: hottest coordinator for the last couple of years.

107
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: But a guy who can galvanize.

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 7: The whole entire football team because the Bears have been

109
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 7: winning on defense. He's last three games with the three

110
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 7: plus turnovers in each of the last three games.

111
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 3: Is shown by last night.

112
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 7: But you know, Ben Johnson of course was hired to

113
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 7: get Caleb Williams right, or get Caleb Williams of Pro

114
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 7: Bowl level, but he's still a work in progress. Caleb Williams,

115
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 7: you're seeing the flashes. You're seeing better consistency. You didn't

116
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 7: see any turnovers last night. But he hasn't been super

117
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 7: dynamic just yet. But you are seeing flourishes in the offense,

118
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 7: particularly with that man right there, DeAndre Swift, who absolutely

119
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 7: went off last night, really won the game for the Bears.

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 7: And that's to me Ben Johnson saying, Okay, I don't

121
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 7: have to prove it that Caleb Williams has to be

122
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 7: a superstar.

123
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: Now.

124
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 7: I'm going to have this team find other ways to

125
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 7: win and last night. It was by running the ball,

126
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 7: by getting the opportunistic turnovers on defense, and by and

127
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 7: then by Caleb Williams not turning the ball over and making.

128
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: Key plays when possible. So you know, also smart move.

129
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 7: By him to hire a defensive coordinator like a Dennis

130
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 7: Allen who's been a head coach who's been around it,

131
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 7: and not someone new and saying, you know what, I

132
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 7: can't have guys that never worked with on the staff whatnot.

133
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 7: So I just love Ben Johnson's approach. And Caleb talked

134
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 7: about it after the game. He said, you know what's

135
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 7: the turner and said, he just has his fighting. He

136
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 7: has us fighting, not me fighting on the offense. So

137
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 7: I think that's going to bode well for the Bears

138
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 7: this year.

139
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: We talked so much before this game about and Ben

140
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: Johnson said it as well. The offensive line's got to

141
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: give these running backs a chance. They were getting hit

142
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: too far at the line of scrimmage or behind the

143
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. DeAndre Swift over one hundred yards night.

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: So after the bye week, the Bears make the adjustments

145
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 2: to make that happen. That is a much different Bears

146
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: team than the last time we saw them on Monday

147
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: Night Football earlier in the season. Mark Ross with the

148
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: breakdown of the Bears victory.

149
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 8: There.

150
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: They're on the other side of five hundred, now three

151
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: and two and looking to make some noise in the

152
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: playoff race, as are the Falcons.

153
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Bill's Falcons first Monday night game in Atlanta in seven years,

154
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: and the home team certainly made the most. At first quarter,

155
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: tied at seven, third and goal, Michael Pennis, Drake London

156
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: a bullet, go go, gadget arm that's eight touchdown. Falcons

157
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: go up fourteen to seven. Second quarter now, Falcons still

158
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: up by seven. First and five Bjon Robinson and Gunn.

159
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate the effort, but no, you're not going to

160
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: catch him. Longest run of b Shn's career, previous career

161
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: long thirty eight. That was an eighty one yarder right there.

162
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: Now.

163
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: A late fourth quarter, Bills down twenty four to fourteen,

164
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's pass tippedon intercepted by d Angelo Malone. Yes,

165
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: the Angelo Malone household name. Felcon win twenty four to fourteen.

166
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Bills fall to four and two, entering their by Let's

167
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: bring in Brian Baldinger too. The conversation now with me

168
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Tom Pilicero here on the Insiders. Baldy Falcons offense impressive

169
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: last night, especially in the first half.

170
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 6: What did you see, Well, I saw an offense line

171
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 6: that just won the line of scrimmage throughout the day.

172
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 6: But you know they lead the National Football League running

173
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 6: about one hundred and fifty yards a game right now,

174
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 6: and they ran for over two hundred last night. So

175
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 6: you know they got the big play obviously, but you

176
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 6: know this play right here by Tyler Adzier, I mean

177
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 6: they get to the second level block both Bills linebackers

178
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 6: as he ran for a twenty one yard touchdown right

179
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 6: there to get the game started. And so it's a

180
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 6: one to two punch right now. And then you know

181
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 6: they protected Michael Pennix very well last night. Drake London

182
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 6: had a huge game, so they got real balance on offense, Tom,

183
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 6: and then you know when you get into what Jeff

184
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 6: Olbrick is doing on defense, that was the lotus scoring

185
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 6: total of the year for Buffalo. They held him to

186
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 6: fourteen points and so the offense did their job. They

187
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 6: put up twenty four points. They controlled the line of scrimmage,

188
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 6: but defensively it's been a long time since anybody can

189
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 6: say this, but the Falcons have a pass rush. They

190
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 6: have guys that can win, that can get to the quarterback.

191
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 6: They've got a defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrick that knows how

192
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 6: to dial up pressures. They did that a bunch last night.

193
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 6: They got some sacks, they got Josh Allen to throw

194
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 6: the ball away, they got off the field on third

195
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 6: down quite a bit. And then the secondary, whether it's

196
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 6: aj Terrell, Ord Alford or a Xavier watched they played

197
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 6: excellent in the secondary and didn't let the ball go

198
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 6: over their head way. Sometimes it does, you know when

199
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 6: you're going up against Josh Allen.

200
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: Baldy stick around. Will talk Eagles with you momentarily here,

201
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: but first.

202
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 4: This and now to discuss the touchdowns and so much more,

203
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: we have Pop Douglas here. Thank you for joining the Insiders.

204
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: You woke up in first place today. The Buffalo Bills

205
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 4: lost last night the Patriots coming off a three game

206
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: win streak. You're in first place. You're one of the

207
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 4: biggest surprises of the early part of the season. But

208
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: I wonder take us inside that building. Does it feel

209
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: like a surprise to you or did you see this coming.

210
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 9: I've seen this coming. You know how hard we work,

211
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 9: and you know the work that we put in and

212
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 9: throughout practice. Man, I knew you know what we can do.

213
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 9: And man, we're blessed. We're blessed. You know, keep going

214
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 9: and it feels good winning, all right.

215
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 4: Part of it, of course, is that Drake May has

216
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: really come into his own, has exploded in these first

217
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: six games of the season, coming off a three touchdown

218
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: performance against the New Orleans Saints. You were there last

219
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: season when he came in as a rookie, so you

220
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: saw the same glimmers that we all saw the possibilities.

221
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: What have you seen though from being on the inside

222
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: To explain his rapid development this season, I'll.

223
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 10: Say, you know, his confidence, His confidence has been growing,

224
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 10: and man, I'm proud of him.

225
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 9: Man. He never let he never got too high when

226
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 9: it was up, and never too low and it was down. Man.

227
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 10: I'm loving the confidence that he's giving us. Man, he's

228
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 10: just going out there and playing on the field. Man,

229
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 10: I'm loving I love his presentation.

230
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: All Right.

231
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 4: You let's talk about you. You have already caught as

232
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: many touchdown passes this season as you did last season.

233
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 4: This wide receiver room over the last few years has

234
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: been a little bit maligned. A lot of people saying,

235
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: you know, the Patriots don't have enough weapons. How personally

236
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 4: satisfying is it to you, not just how the offense

237
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 4: as a whole is performing, but that you have a

238
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: significant role in its success.

239
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 10: It's a blessing, you know, Man, our room, the team,

240
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 10: you know the team and you know, as they say,

241
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 10: as skilled players.

242
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 9: Man, we've been working.

243
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 11: You know.

244
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 10: We never let you know, you know, the outside things

245
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 10: you know, get to us. And it's been amazing going

246
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 10: in and working.

247
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: Man.

248
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 9: It started on the off season.

249
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 10: You know, we got together with Drake and he got

250
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 10: us together to throw and just our time and man,

251
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 10: got our time and good and we got to.

252
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 9: Know each other, you know, outside of football, and I

253
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 9: think that's what made us close. And we play together,

254
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 9: we play for each other.

255
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 4: What kind of impact has Stefan Diggs had on the room?

256
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 9: He had a big impact. Man, that's a vet that

257
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 9: we needed in our room. You know, he never let

258
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 9: you slack. Nothing like that. Hardworker, hard worker.

Speaker 10: And uh, I know y'all can see like on the

00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 10: he's working.

262
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 9: And he puts us young, us young guys that you know,

263
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 9: uh the word, and he shows us the way.

264
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 10: And just like I said, he keeps our whole room accountable,

265
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 10: just like our coach Todd down and he keeps it accountable.

266
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 9: And man, shout out to Steph and then you.

267
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,000

Speaker 10: And now their practice how they practice. He shows us

Speaker 10: how to practice. They show us how to practice.

273
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 9: And man, it's good to have those those guys in

274
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 9: the room.

275
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: You obviously had the big upset victory on national television

276
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 4: over the Buffalo Bills, and then you want again last week,

277
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: what's been the message from Mike Rabel while you've gotten

278
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: out to this hot start about sustaining.

279
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 9: It, just you know, just planning to our identity. Man,

280
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 9: we played to identity. I mean it's going to be good.

281
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 9: You know.

282
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 10: I feel like we've been playing to our identity and

283
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 10: trust no process. I feel like that's the main thing.

284
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 10: Trust no process and us guys getting together, getting each

285
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 10: other closer and getting to know each other. I feel

286
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 10: like we've been doing a good job with that and man,

287
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 10: just taking the game game by game, day by day.

288
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 9: Like I said, that starts in practice and how hard

289
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 9: we practice, man, and it shows me the game.

290
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 4: All right. You are playing the Tennessee Titans this week,

291
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: which is obviously going to be a return to Tennessee

292
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: for Mike Vrabel. He's downplaying the importance of it, but

293
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: he's obviously had a huge impact on the Patriots already.

294
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: How important is it for you guys to get a

295
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 4: win in Tennessee?

296
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 9: For him, it's very important, you know, especially you know

297
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 9: it's the next game.

298
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 10: It's the next game. That's what makes it, you know,

299
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 10: very important, And just like any other game. I know, coach,

300
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 10: you want to come in here and you know, get

301
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 10: this win. And I feel like that's going to help

302
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 10: us keep going. You know that it feels good at

303
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 10: winning and you know, would like to say the previous

304
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 10: years that we had, man, it hasn't been good.

305
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 9: But this is a good feeling.

306
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 10: And I know our team loved this feeling and I

307
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 10: want us to, you know, keep going. And I'm loving

308
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 10: what Coach Raver's doing with this team.

309
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,800

00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: have not allowed a single point in the first quarter

315
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: this season. The five game first quarter shut out streak

316
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: is the longest streak to start a season since twenty fifteen,

317
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: when the Broncos, Yes, the Super Bowl winning Broncos held

318
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: their first seven opponents off the board in the first quarter.

319
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: Denver finished the year. Like I said, super Bowl champs means.

320
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 3: The Packers are gonna win, only have to. I watched

321
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: the rest of the season. We got the script for you,

322
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: all right. Maybe not.

323
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: What we do have are the Week seven power rankings

324
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: by our guy Eric head Home at the NFL. The

325
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: look at the Buccaneers, Look at the Buccaneers. Todd Bulls

326
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: Buccaneers at number one. According to ed Home, you got

327
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: the Lions there. Sure we expect them to be the

328
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: Seahawks that we expect them to be that high? Do

329
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: we expect the Eagles to be as low as six?

330
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

331
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't think a lot of people thought the Eagles

332
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: we played as poorly as they have been, which leads

333
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: to a lot of questions for the coaches and the coordinators.

334
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: Tuesdays the day for that.

335
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: So that's when Kevin Patulo had to answer some questions

336
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator in Philly.

337
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 11: I think when you when you talk about the situational

338
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 11: stuff and or you know, the predictability, you just got

339
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 11: to look at kind of where the whole context is.

340
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 11: And I think that's what kind of the last day

341
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 11: or so, you know, over the weekend things we were

342
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 11: able to kind of look at where we were, where

343
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 11: we are, where we want to go, and what we know,

344
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 11: you know, we need to kind of do to go forward.

345
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 11: And I think it was very productive. We had a

346
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 11: good meeting, yes, Rays and offensive unit, and so I

347
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 11: think we're in a good spot working forward.

348
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: Brian Mouldingger and Mark Ross get on in here, because

349
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: this is a very important conversation. All right, this is

350
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: like this has been driving me nuts for a while.

351
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: I cover the Eagles closely, I know the market. I

352
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: hear this all the time, whether it's Doug Peterson or

353
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 2: Mike grow Er, Brian Johnson or Kevin Pittulo. When the

354
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,359
Speaker 2: offense isn't going well. The P word always comes out predictable.

355
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: It's too predictable. And Lee Johnson sort of had that

356
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: in one of his quotes the other day, which said, Okay,

357
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: everybody said, there it is.

358
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: That's our job predictable. Let's keep talking about it's predictable.

359
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: You know.

360
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: It leads to a whole lot of that stuff.

361
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: And to me because I look at this and I said, well,

362
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: I covered this team last year and I remember Saquon

363
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: Barkley taking runs all the way to the house, and

364
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: I remember asking like, oh, we're these special runs that

365
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: you like.

366
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: No, we have no idea what's going to go to

367
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: the house. It's a simple zone run. They know we're

368
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: doing it.

369
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: We're just blocking it and we're just getting Saquon to

370
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: the edge and the safety's not estimating properly his speed.

371
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: He's gone.

372
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: So I'm going to throw it to u Bald because

373
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: it's sort of drive me nuts. How we can sort

374
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: of say, well, the offense is too predictable.

375
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: It's a lot.

376
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: And even Lane Johnson it is quote about we need

377
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: to be a little bit more variety or variable on

378
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: offense said it comes down to execution. A lot I

379
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: think there's struggles with the offensive line right now, that

380
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: there's struggles.

381
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: On a number of front But you tell me when

382
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: you see it on the film and you break it down.

383
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 3: Are they too predictable?

384
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 6: Well, there's two p words, Mike. There's predictable and there's production.

385
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 6: Last year they were production. They were productive, doing a

386
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 6: lot of the same things they're doing now. I mean,

387
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 6: they led the league in rushing by a mile. They

388
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 6: had the leading rusher Akue. But you know last week

389
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 6: against the Giants on Thursday night, now they were somewhat predictable.

390
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 6: I mean, this is third and ten right here, there's

391
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 6: a two by two set, all right. Now, take a

392
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 6: look at this, all right, because they're gonna run five

393
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 6: yard stops on the inside, and they're gonna run little

394
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 6: cuts down the field on the inside. And so you

395
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 6: watch this right here here they are all right. Now,

396
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 6: it's third and ten. They throw it underneath the gotter

397
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 6: right here. The Giants come and tackle to catch. That's

398
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 6: not very productive, But is it also predictive because this

399
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 6: is kind of predictable. Here's the same motion. All right,

400
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 6: it's thirty eight. Here they are two by two set,

401
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 6: and what are they gonna run. They're gonna run five

402
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 6: yard stops on the inside right here, and then they're

403
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 6: gonna run deep on the outside, mirrored routes, same thing

404
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 6: on each side. All right, pick a side, and right

405
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: here Jalen doesn't get the ball out of his hands.

406
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 6: He gets sacked. All right, and now here we go

407
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 6: another third down situation. Is it predictable? It's a two

408
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 6: by two set. We say, the exact same route combination.

409
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 6: The Giants sit down on it and Jalen says, all right,

410
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 6: I'll check it down to Saque and see what he

411
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 6: can do exactly what the Giants wanted. On third and four.

412
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 6: Right there, they get him for a tackle loss. That's

413
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 6: kind of predictable. Now that's just third down. There was

414
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 6: were a couple of third down misses last week. It's

415
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 6: not the whole offense, it's a little part portion of it,

416
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 6: but they weren't able to stay on the field, and

417
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 6: that's been a big part of the problem is they

418
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 6: have not been productive mark on third downs where they

419
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 6: can sustain offense and maybe get into some of the

420
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 6: variety that Mike speaks up that maybe Lane Johnson wants

421
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 6: to see, because they just haven't been on the field

422
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 6: enough and the result is a seventeen point offense. He

423
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 6: just last two losses.

424
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 7: We'll I want to drop another p word on you.

425
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 7: That's near and dear to my heart, and that's personnel.

426
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 7: And the personnel is just not the same last year,

427
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 7: whether whether they're predictable or not, where they were just

428
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 7: mashing people on the offensive line. And the first one

429
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 7: out the door was Makai Beckham. Let's just go through

430
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 7: the starters last year who they lost in free agency.

431
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 7: Tyler Steen is starting, huge drop off, McKay Beckham playing

432
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 7: at a Pro Bowl level. There, then Landon Dickerson, who

433
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 7: had off season meniscus surgery right before the season. There

434
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 7: have been struggling with the ankle. Here comes Brent talk

435
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 7: huge drop off from there. Cam Jurgen's had back surgery

436
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 7: this offseason. He doesn't look the same. He's struggling. Lane

437
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 7: Johnson as back in next issues this year he's been

438
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 7: in and out of the game as well.

439
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: And then you Jordan my Lot. I don't think he's

440
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: playing at the same level.

441
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 7: So you've got four guys essentially one guy's going in

442
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 7: three compromise with injuries. That's why you're not seeing them

443
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 7: guys with the run game going, and then Jalen hurts

444
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 7: at his best, he is a quality thrower and quality playmaker,

445
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 7: not a quantity So when everything has to be on

446
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 7: him where he has to throw, that's not his game.

447
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 7: Even in the Super Bowl, the best game he ever played,

448
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 7: many said he was only seventeen to only twenty two

449
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 7: passes two hundred and twenty one yards. So that's the

450
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 7: formula for the Eagles is to run it and then

451
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 7: Jalen make those quality plays and quality throws and he

452
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 7: has to make those win needed. Baldy showed those sets there,

453
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 7: but down there on the goal line with the first

454
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 7: he missed Devonte Smith on the huge throw coming out

455
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 7: of the half, and then on the pick six he

456
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 7: missed aj Brown. Did not see Agent Brown. He was

457
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 7: wide open right there in the middle of field for

458
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 7: a touchdown. So with the combination of the offensive line,

459
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 7: if they'll get healthier, not needing to match guys, say

460
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 7: Kuan get Right, take the onus off of Jalen has

461
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 7: to be a quantity thrower. But Jalen also has to

462
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 7: play better. He has to see the reas, he has

463
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 7: to make the throws so that combination of all of it,

464
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 7: I think is what's lead to what you're seeing from

465
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 7: the Eagles offense now.

466
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: Lane Johnson, in his comments that I was talking about

467
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: the other day, did say I've got Kevin Patulo's back

468
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: until the end. They truly still believe in him and

469
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni in this coaching staff, and I know they

470
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: spent this past weekend going over things, Okay, how do

471
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: we change shoes up here and there? How do we

472
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: become more effective in certain situations. They also have a

473
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: buy coming up in a couple of weeks. They'll get

474
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: a chance to do that again. But I think Mark

475
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: did hit something on the head. For as much as

476
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: we're questioning the play calls or maybe calling it predictable,

477
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: there was that pass to Devonte Smith that went over

478
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: his head. There was one the week before to aj

479
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 2: Brown where Brown stopped this route that's one hundred and

480
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: fifty yards combined in two touchdowns that was left on

481
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 2: the field. You get a chance to do it, predictable,

482
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. You get a chance

483
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: to make a play. These guys got to make a play.

484
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: All the great stuff. Mark appreciate it as well, you know,

485
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: what's predictable. Judy Patista is gonna be a big part

486
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: of the show.

487
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: Judy, thank you. You know what team is not having

488
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: a problem with its offense, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Look

489
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 4: at this touchdown to interception ratio for Baker Mayfield, twelve

490
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: to one. You get a twelve to one touchdown to

491
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 4: interception ratio, you add in an incredible third down scramble

492
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 4: to get the first down, you get to be the

493
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 4: first team in the power rankings. You know what, I

494
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: bet Baker Mayfield is going to feature prominently in the

495
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: conversation I am about to have with our Jeffrey Chidia. Jeffrey,

496
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 4: thank you very much. We're going to talk about your

497
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: winners and losers through week six. So let's start on

498
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 4: the bright side. Give me some winners.

499
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, surprise, surprise. Baker Mayfield top of the list.

500
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 6: Here.

501
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 12: He's my MVP right now, Judy, And the way he's playing,

502
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 12: he may just run away with this thing. You're talking

503
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 12: about a team that's five and one despite missing its

504
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 12: top four receivers, it's best running back. A number of

505
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 12: injuries to their offensive lineman is because of this guy

506
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 12: right here. The way he's playing you look at the

507
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 12: not just the production, but just the charisma, the confidence,

508
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 12: the battle, the way he gets up here after this

509
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 12: play and is kind of flexxing out.

510
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: He's given this team a whole new identity and he's

511
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: my MVP because of that.

512
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 12: My second winner here is Mike Rabel, who also is

513
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 12: benefiting from great quarterback play and the job Gret May

514
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 12: has done. Mike Rapel has never had a quarterback like

515
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 12: this in his career, and you're seeing May blossom before

516
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 12: our eyes. We're talking about a team that's playing great

517
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 12: special teams right now. Two kit returners have been AFC

518
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 12: Special Team Player of the Months, and now we're talking

519
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 12: about ric o'dowdell in terms of what he's been doing

520
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 12: in Carolina. I got nobody thought was going to be

521
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 12: a great player. Chope Hubber goes down and then all

522
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 12: of a sudden, this guy's running for almost five hundred

523
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 12: scrimmageyards in the last two games. He's taken advantage of

524
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 12: the opportunity and make good on it.

525
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 4: All right, And if we have winners, there have to

526
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 4: be losers. Who are the losers?

527
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: Well, we'll start with John Harball. That look on his

528
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 3: space right there, You've seeing way too much of that.

529
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 12: A lot of what happened is happening in Baltimore for

530
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 12: John Harball these days one in five start, and I

531
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 12: don't know if it gets better. You look at the

532
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 12: way they were playing defense beforehand, for all his injuries started.

533
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 12: You look at the things that have been happening to

534
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 12: this team as far as Lamar Jackson being hurt. I

535
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 12: know he's coming back with his hamstering injury, but you

536
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 12: look at the AFC. Now, New England's a player, Jacksonville

537
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 12: is a player, Indianapolis is a player. These teams were

538
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 12: not talked about as being postseason contenders, and that's going

539
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 12: to affect this team's ability to get in the postseason.

540
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 12: And then finally, you do you know this guy in

541
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 12: New York all too well, Justin Fields is going through

542
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 12: it right now with the New York Jets. He's my

543
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 12: last loser here and we talk about the week he

544
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 12: had forty five passing yards, nine sacks. The same thing

545
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 12: we saw before in Chicago and Pittsburgh are dooming him again,

546
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 12: holding the ball too long, not processing fast enough. He's

547
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 12: already facing questions about being benched. I know Aaron Glyn

548
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 12: has his back right now. But with this team not

549
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 12: having won a game just yet, I just don't know

550
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 12: how Justin Fields keeps this job all season long.

551
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 4: It is certainly a tough week for the Jets, all

552
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 4: of them right now in New York. Jeffrey, thank you

553
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: and everybody. Check out the rest of Jeffries column NFL

554
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 4: dot Com slash first read.

555
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 6: Done.

556
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: Now for the Wolf of Ball Street, our Cameron Wolf

557
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: here to tell you what he's hearing around the end,

558
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: which on today, like this, Cam, I have to imagine

559
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: mine include a little something about what's going on down

560
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: there in South Florida.

561
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 6: Tom.

562
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 13: Yes, let's start the Wolf of Ball Street in Miami,

563
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 13: where it's been a disaster season and a headache made

564
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 13: worse by their starting quarterback two with ungle by Looa

565
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 13: with a little bit of a misstep in his comments

566
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 13: this week calling out players being late to a player

567
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 13: only meeting. And this has certainly been a conversation throughout

568
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 13: the Dolphins locker room. I talked to one player in

569
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 13: the last twenty four hours who said he didn't like

570
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 13: what Tua said. He said it's added an unnecessary distraction.

571
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 13: He said he's had people in his circle reach out

572
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 13: asking who the late player was. Stuff he just doesn't

573
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 13: want to deal with. We heard center Aaron Brewer say

574
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 13: that stuff that happens and how should stay in house

575
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 13: and look to His intentions were good here. Accountability has

576
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 13: been a big part of the Dolphins philosophy. Mike McDaniel

577
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 13: just made a great point. It was the wrong form

578
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 13: for it to happen. From what I understand, too, is

579
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 13: going to have a press conference tomorrow. He's going to

580
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 13: try to clean a lot of this stuff up. He's

581
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 13: been walked talking the teammates, apologizing about how he's handled it.

582
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 13: But leadership has been a big question mark, and it

583
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 13: starts with your quarterback. A good way to get back

584
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 13: on people's side, have a great game against the Browns

585
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 13: and play well going forward and maybe help this Dolphice

586
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 13: team try to turn around a one.

587
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: In five start.

588
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 13: Meanwhile, a team that doesn't need to turn around anything,

589
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 13: the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'll be there Thursday in Cincinnati, where

590
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 13: it's going to be what Cam Hayward yelled out to

591
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 13: reporters as the icy Hot Bowl, Forty one year old

592
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 13: Aaron Rodgers, forty year old Joe Flacco, and Aaron Rodgers

593
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 13: is playing the best ball of him since twenty twenty

594
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 13: one when he won MVP in Green Bay. And a

595
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 13: big reason why is this relationship with offense. According to

596
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 13: Arthur Smith, they've been able to gel, They've been able

597
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 13: to adjust to each other's skill set.

598
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 3: And I'm told one thing they also gel on.

599
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 13: They heard some commentary in the summer that they would

600
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 13: be fighting arguing by October. Well it's October and they're

601
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 13: not fighting and arguing. They're getting along better than ever.

602
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 13: The office is gelling Aaron Rodgers second fastest time to

603
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 13: throw in the NFL, getting the ball out his hand,

604
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 13: and Arthur Smith is running a lot of six offensive

605
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 13: lineman sets, using big Darnell Washington in the past game

606
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 13: and in the run game. And the Steelers are running

607
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 13: away from the AFC North, And so those old guys

608
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 13: are have something to say, and the Steelers are.

609
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: Happy with their choice of getting Aaron Rodgers.

610
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Nothing like being two forty something year old players on

611
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: a short week now going up against each other in

612
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: a huge game on Thursday night. Cam great stuff. As always,

613
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: We will talk to you again soon, listen. I feel

614
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: like the fantasy football guys have been on my side

615
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: for quite some time. We made the playoffs in dramatic

616
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: fashion last year, and now we won a game last

617
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: night in dramatic fashion, ninety one to ninety I was

618
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: trailing ninety two to ninety one.

619
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: Guess what happened? Jayden Daniels right there, guy, are for

620
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: my opponent? Iron Jaden fumbled. I won on that fumble,

621
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: and I knew I won because Michael left Floria was

622
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: ahead of me, and he sent me the eyeball emojis.

623
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, what does he talk?

624
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 9: Oh?

625
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 6: Oh, we just won, dude, we did.

626
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: An assistant general manager the outside of Michael left Florio

627
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: now joining us to tuck waiver wire targets. We're hanging

628
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 2: in there. We're gonna need some help, though, to get

629
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: into the postseason. So let's start with quarterbacks. Sam Donald

630
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 2: potentially out there on some waiver wires.

631
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 14: Yeah, and Jade and Daniel still wants to be a

632
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 14: part of the Outsiders. I think I know he took

633
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 14: you to the championship last season, But Sam Donald, if

634
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 14: he is out there, I would be adding him right now.

635
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 14: In the last two weeks, only Dak has more passing touchdowns,

636
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 14: and only Dak and Mahomes have scored more Fantasy points

637
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 14: at quarterback Seattle. They have done a much better job

638
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 14: of recently of protecting Sam Donald pressure, allowing it out

639
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 14: a league below average rate and then just one sack

640
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 14: in the last two weeks.

641
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 6: And Donald we know he could thrive from a clean pocket.

642
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 14: Jayson is seemingly open on every single play, so that

643
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 14: really helped Sam Donald as well. If Jackson Dart is

644
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 14: out there, he is the only QB I would add

645
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 14: over Big Sammy d this week. But I come on

646
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 14: the show two weeks in a row and talk to

647
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 14: Jackson Dart, so we should not be on your waivers.

648
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: It's a ghost town out there for running backs this

649
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: time of year. On the waiver wire. Who might be available,

650
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Florio I should pick up well. If Kamani Vedella is available.

651
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 14: You didn't listen last week because I came on this

652
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 14: show it told you to add Kamani. But if he

653
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 14: is still out there, he is the number one ad

654
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 14: this week, sixty nine percent of snaps, eighteen carries and

655
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 14: four targets. Last week he turned that into nearly one

656
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 14: hundred and forty yards a touchdown, twenty three fantasy points

657
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 14: and was a top ten running back in fantasy, and

658
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 14: I'm getting comments on Twitter like it came against the Dolphins,

659
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 14: but yeah, that's what you're supposed to do when you

660
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 14: have a great matchup, and this week he gets another one.

661
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 14: The Colts on paper don't look like the best matchup,

662
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 14: but I think that's more gamescript.

663
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 3: They've been leading in a lot of games.

664
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 14: Metrically, they have struggled against the runs, so I think

665
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 14: Vidal remains in play.

666
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 4: And then I like Tajy Spears and I think.

667
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 14: He's a little bit under the radar right now, but

668
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 14: he was on the heavy side of a sixty to

669
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 14: forty snap split last week with Tony Pollard. While Pollard

670
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 14: is still getting more carries, Spears did have five himself,

671
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 14: but the passing work is going his way, nearly double

672
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 14: the amount of routes and targets as Tony Pollard. And

673
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 14: I know you might be like, oh, well that was

674
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 14: gamescript because the Titans were losing. It's the Titans. They're

675
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 14: going to be trailing often and Spears is an explosive runner,

676
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 14: so if he plays well with the opportunities that he

677
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 14: is getting that he could steal more and more work away.

678
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 14: So Kase Spears Kamani Bedell. They are two wide receivers

679
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 14: that I have searched my waivers for when.

680
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: I was putting them in earlier today, All right, wide receivers.

681
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: Sterling Shepherd is an interesting one. He had some big

682
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: plays the other day for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They're

683
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: extremely banged up at wide receiver now, Mecca Buca injured.

684
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: What do we do?

685
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 3: It's Sterling Shepherd here.

686
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think you should be looking to pick him up.

687
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 14: If the Bucks lose another wide receiver, they might need

688
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 14: one of the three of us to suit up this week.

689
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 14: Because Chris Godwin has already ruled out a Mecca Buca

690
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 14: seems unlikely to play. Mike Evans is still up in

691
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 14: the air, and I know the Johnson right now, Cam

692
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 14: and them are going to get a lot of the

693
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 14: attention as the big play.

694
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: Option, but they're more boom or bust.

695
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 6: I think the.

696
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 14: Buckstow and Mvy Baker is going to rely on the

697
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 14: veteran there in Sterling Shepard. And what I really like

698
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 14: too is he bounces between the slot and out wide,

699
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 14: so he could win in a number of different ways.

700
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 14: But I just think he's in a great offense, tied

701
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 14: to the MVP leader right now, and they're going up

702
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 14: against a Lions team that could score a lot of

703
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 14: points but is really banged up in the secondary.

704
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: Real life issue here, My tight ends are both on

705
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: by this week. Michael, Yes, I should have figured that

706
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: out before the draft. That's a side story. We don't

707
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: need to address it. Top option is Dallas Goddard, Harold

708
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: fannin junior. Which way would you go of those options?

709
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 14: I would go Dallas Goddard, but he's not available in

710
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 14: as many leagues. So I really do like Harold Fan

711
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 14: and Junior as well, because last week eighty one percent

712
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 14: of the snaps. And what I like is he's playing

713
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 14: all over the field. He's getting snaps as a running back,

714
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 14: out in the slot at wah as a tight end,

715
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 14: and last week he saw ten targets, the second most

716
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 14: on the Browns. I think there is just some chemistry

717
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 14: between him and fellow rookie Dylan Gabriel. He led the

718
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 14: team in catches and receiving yards last week. Plus he

719
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 14: not only has he outscored David and Joku in four

720
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 14: six weeks, but David and Joku is dealing with the

721
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 14: knee injury. He's up in the air right now, and

722
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 14: that couldn't mean better things for hell Fan and Junior,

723
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 14: who has a great matchup against the Dolphins.

724
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 3: But if you miss out on those names, there are a.

725
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 14: Whole bunch of others that you could check your waiver

726
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 14: wire for, including a couple of Bucks receivers and Tom

727
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 14: some other tight ends.

728
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: Just in case he missed out on those two.

729
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: Noronde Ganson, Yes there's another one. He might be available

730
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: in my league as well. Michael Lef, Thank you very much.

731
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: We will talk to you again next Tuesdays. I love

732
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: a good whiteout game, particularly when it is paired with

733
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: those white Bengal uniforms at Cincinnati will be wearing on

734
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Steelers. Here's an idea, though, if

735
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the field match, paint the whole field light.

736
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: Then just fill in the lines with a darker color.

737
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: Then it'll look like, you know, a Madden video game

738
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: and you turn on snow mode in the nineteen nineties,

739
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: which everybody did as far as I am aware. Welcome

740
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: back to the Insiders, presented by Progressive Insurance. Tom Pilisero

741
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: join now by Sam Schwartstein, Prime Video and Thursday Night

742
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Football's analytics expert to use next gen stats to help

743
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: break down this matchup. Sam, let's start out with the Steelers,

744
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: who have the most expensive defense in the entire NFL.

745
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: What if anything makes you believe that the Roonies are

746
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: getting the most bang for their buck.

747
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, they spend twenty five million dollars more than the

748
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 8: next high like most expensive defense, and they get their

749
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 8: money's worth because of how they're trying to attack the quarterback.

750
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 8: Very old school style mentality. That's the standard is the standard,

751
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 8: as Mike tom would say, that's to get out of

752
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 8: the quarterback. They have a forty percent pressure rate that's

753
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 8: fits in the NFL. But the key is they turn

754
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 8: those pressures into sacks twenty three percent of the time.

755
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 8: That's the second most the NFL. It's nice to get

756
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 8: to the quarterback. It's better to sack him. One of

757
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 8: the key ways they do it is they bring six

758
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 8: or more rushers twenty one percent of the time. That's

759
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 8: almost three times more than the league average. You're gonna

760
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 8: get man coverage. Quarterbacks is gonna beat it. Joe Flack

761
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 8: was gonna try and beat man coverage. But you're gonna

762
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 8: have to get to the quarter beat them before they

763
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 8: get to the quarterback.

764
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: Of course, the offense doing their part two for the

765
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: Steelers right now. Sam. Every time we talk about the

766
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh offense, you talk about Aaron Rodgers, we talk about

767
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, and that's truly it. Other than that's a

768
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that I don't think most people have

769
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: heard of. Who's a name that you need to introduce

770
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: America to this week?

771
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 8: You know, with all that money on defense, they spending

772
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 8: about thirty percent of their salary cap on just those

773
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 8: two players, DK and Aaron Rodgers. But the guy I

774
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 8: got my eye on, Darnel Washington. He's about six seven,

775
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 8: listened to sixty five. He don't look like it. He

776
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 8: is a beast at tight end. And you can see EPA,

777
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 8: which is a contextualized metric of yards based on situational football.

778
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 8: There he's the best player DELTA when he he's on

779
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 8: the field versus off the field. There point two EPA

780
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 8: per play better when he's on the field. And it's

781
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 8: not just in the pass game. The wrong game here

782
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 8: he's taking out two guys on that run and then

783
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 8: running back is able to find that hole and then

784
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 8: he had a pass to start the game. First play

785
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 8: of the game last week, he runs through the gap,

786
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 8: the same B gap insert right you've seen here, That's

787
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 8: what Pook Nakula runs. And he reached nineteen over nineteen

788
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 8: miles per hour on this play. That's the fastest runny

789
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 8: player over two hundred and sixty pounds. So he is

790
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 8: a matchup of nightmare. They want to be able to

791
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 8: utilize him. They're going to have him on the field

792
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 8: as well as Spencer Anderson, extra old lineman. So much

793
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 8: beef for this Pittsburghs doers offense.

794
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: Smart move right there, if you see the back of

795
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: Darnell Washington's jersey, just try to knock the ball out.

796
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: That's probably a better shot than actually bringing that guy

797
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: down from behind. The other side of this matchup, the

798
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: Bengals at two and four, four game losing streak. If

799
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: they're going to get back into this thing, it's got

800
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,479
Speaker 1: to start on Thursday night, and with Joe Flacco leading

801
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: the charge, What in your mind can Flacco do to

802
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: get the Bengals snap this losing streak and get back

803
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: into things.

804
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, they get a quarterback in go from

805
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 8: Jake Brown and Joe Flakel and a lot of people

806
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 8: our team were asking why did they do that? Well,

807
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 8: they just need somebody to throw to Jamar Chase and

808
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 8: that's what they are able to figure out.

809
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 3: And Jamar Chase, he gets the ball much more.

810
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 8: Hever zone than man. He is a twenty nine point

811
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 8: four percent target rate versus zone and he gets up

812
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 8: to nine point five yards per target that drops substantially

813
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 8: during main coverage. In large Part two, they're going to

814
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 8: target t Higgins on those go balls. But what's important

815
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 8: is you can see Joe Flacco figure out this offense

816
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 8: from the first half to second half. He had only

817
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 8: three targets to Jamar Chase in the first half and

818
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 8: then nine targets in the second half. All you need

819
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 8: to do really is go to the number one fantasy

820
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 8: player from last year as much as you can in

821
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 8: Jamar Chase, and that's what Flaka was going to try

822
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 8: and do on Thursday.

823
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: Here's a next gen stat before we let you go.

824
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: The next gen of Schwartsteins also has arrived. You take

825
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: a well earned week off from this show. Sam, Congratulations

826
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: to you and the family.

827
00:36:58,920 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.

828
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: Roughly larger. Is smaller than a football right now than

829
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 1: the duke.

830
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, much smaller than the duke.

831
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: Gotulations. You can see Sam and maybe Shay Shortsting on

832
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: Prime Video Thursday Night, Yeah, exactly, with a lot of

833
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,759

834
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: NFL Plus beginning at seven pm Eastern on TNF. Speaking

835
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: of rookies, kind of vote for the Pepsi zero Sugar

836
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Week. I feel like this is essentially

837
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: the rundown of the names that we talked about the

838
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: most all the way leading up to the drafts. Shdeur

839
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: Sanders not pictured. He'll probably be there sometime later in

840
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: the season. You can go and vote now nfl dot

841
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: com slash Orkies. Some sobery news today regarding a Jets legend,

842
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: Nick Mangold, announcing via the team that he is in

843
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: search of a kidney donor with type O blood. You

844

845
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: and potentially submit to try to help out a guy

846
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: who was certainly one of the good guys during his

847
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: playing days. All of us here at the Insiders certainly

848
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: wish Nick mangled the very best, we are one third

849
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 1: of the way through the twenty twenty five NFL seas,

850
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: which means, hey, let's look at what it would be

851
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: like if the playoffs began right now. Spoiler alert, they don't.

852
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: The Colts would be the number one seed, though the

853
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: only five and one team in the AFC. There's some

854
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: notable teams missing from that playoff picture, including the Chiefs

855
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: and the Ravens. Who if we fast forward to what

856
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: the draft order would look like again not final, we

857
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: got a ways to go. Jets would only number one pick,

858
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens would be drafting number two. Judy, as you

859
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: look at the top ten right there, who do you

860
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: think is the least likely to be draft in top

861
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: ten come April?

862
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I gotta say, I don't think the Ravens

863
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 4: are going to be picking two overall. By the time

864
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 4: all is said and done, I can say as a

865
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 4: New Yorker that the conversation has totally turned all ready

866
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 4: to the Jets picking number one. Like Jets fans are

867
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 4: fully onto what quarterback are they going to take with

868
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 4: the first overall pick?

869
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: You'll see a lot of movement.

870
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 2: As far as movement within the top ten, I would

871
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: not be surprised if seven to eight of these teams

872
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: are still in the top ten by the time it

873
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: comes the draft time. So the Cleveland Browns have two

874
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: first round picks that'll be picking that high would be

875
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: a good starting point for them.

876
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: I'm not done.

877
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 3: I'm not giving up on the Ravens. Like They're gonna

878
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 3: get healthy and the.

879
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 2: Schedule after the bye, they can go from second overall

880
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 2: pick to making the playoffs.

881
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: I truly believe it.

882
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: There's not a clear cut number one overall pick, much

883
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: less a quarterback at this very early stage in the schedule.

884
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: But I can already envision the minds of Jets fans

885
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: when the Browns end up with the number three pick,

886
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: the Jets are at one, and then the Browns offer

887
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: both their first round picks to go up and replace

888
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 1: the Jets atop the draft order. You just can read

889
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: the back page headlines right now. Well, as we move forward,

890
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: not a big prediction show here the insiders. I would

891
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: say if the Ravens are on that second chart of

892
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: the top ten draft order instead of the first chart

893
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: in the playoff picture, that would be one of the

894
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: most shocking developments I can remember. Within a single NFL season. Hey,

895
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: we're back tomorrow. Thanks for watching. Everybody see it
