1
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Week ten is about to kick off with a battle

2
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: for the North. Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Cameron Wolf, all

3
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: three will be on the field tonight in Baltimore, and

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: one of them I gonna tell you who one of

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: them's gonna join us shortly here to break it all down.

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: The NFC East race is a good one, thanks.

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: In large part two of the rookie quarterback in Washington.

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: But can Jayden Daniels and the Commanders out last Jalen

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Hurts and the Eagles will dissess the state of the East.

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, while forty nine er star Christian McCaffrey continues

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: to ramp up for his season debut, will he get

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: a Christian McCaffrey type load on Sunday against the Bucks.

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: My fantasy team votes yes.

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport and Judy Battista.

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: I am Tom Telacio.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: Last time that we saw the Bengals Ravens on the field,

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: it was pretty good.

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: There was a lot of fireworks.

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: We could only hope for the same tonight, and I

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: certainly know that our friend Camer Wolf is gonna be

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: hoping for the same. Still trying to figure out this

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: poster here. Is this a takeoff from Stranger Things? I

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: can't really tell, but it's Joe Burrow, it's Lamar Jackson.

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: They're in the woods slash the Jungle. I don't know.

25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: The stadium's downtown near Highway Overpass. Cameron Wolf joining us

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: right now. Cam, tell me beside your suit, what else

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: we should be looking for tonight inside M and T

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: Bank Stadium.

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: Thanks Tom Trendon Simpson, the Ravens linebacker told me it's

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: time to go to war tonight. But the last time

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: these two teams played, it was a war points nearly

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: eighty points. Quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson went off.

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: One thing to watch today. The Bengals defense said they haven't.

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: Their plan today is to let Lamar Jackson beat them

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: with his arm. That we know what they did last

36
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: game against us. But we're loading up against Derrick Henry

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: and Lamar Jackson and hoping that we can stop them.

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: That's what Mike kild In, their cornerback, told me. The

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 3: playoff implications couldn't be larger for these teams. The Ravens

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: are trying to keep up with the Steelers leading this division,

41
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: and the Bengals.

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 4: This is a must win game for them. Mike Kilden

43
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: told me, we know we have to win.

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: It'll be us against the world in Baltimore, and we're

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: betting on ourselves. So look for a lot of high

46
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: scoring game again here today and two teams that know

47
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: they have a lot to play for.

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: Tome Cam thank you very much, a lot more from

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: you a little bit later on and throughout the evening

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: as well over on NFL Networks pregame show. You take

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: a look right now at the AFC North standings. These Steelers,

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: relatively quietly are a top that division. The Bengals, for

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: everything that has gone wrong for them this season, if

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: you beat the Ravens today in Baltimore, really one game

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: back of them and one game back of the Steelers

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: in the winding column. As we bring back Judy and

57
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Ian Judy right now at the state of the AFC

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: nor this is a pretty big game here tonight in Baltimore.

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 5: Well, it's a must win for the Bengals. Certainly the

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 5: Ravens could use it too, because everybody right now has

61
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 5: to keep pace with the Steelers. But it's also especially

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 5: for the Bengals. I feel like this is a bit

63
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 5: of a litmus test game because we know they struggled

64
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 5: out of the gate and then they have come on

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 5: and been playing much better. But their wins have come

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 5: against teams that are not the top performers, let's call

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 5: it charitably. In the NFL, their wins have been against

68
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: the Panthers, the Giants, the Browns, the Raiders, so again

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 5: not the very tippy top kind of team.

70
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: They've lost to.

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: The Chiefs, the Ravens in the game we were just

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 5: talking about Commanders Eagles. So the Bengals, who again are

73
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: really in must win territory every week now. If they're

74
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 5: going to make a run at the playoffs, they need

75
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 5: to start beating the top teams that they're going to play.

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: They haven't done it yet.

77
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: They probably could use that boost of confidence that they

78
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 5: are up to it. I am curious to see how

79
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 5: this game goes, because again, the first game was as

80
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: close as close could be.

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: Don't forget.

82
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 5: They let the Ravens drive down and kick a field

83
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 5: goal to tie it with under two minutes to go

84
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 5: I think in regulation, and then the Ravens kicked the

85
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: field goal in overtime to win it. So it was

86
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 5: as close as could be. This is a big one

87
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 5: for the Bengals.

88
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 6: I wouldn't hate if it was like that again, although

89
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 6: maybe the participants would prefer some sort of a runaway win.

90
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 7: Either way, Say what's interesting to me?

91
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 6: Keaton Mitchell is not exactly a household name, and in fact,

92
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 6: they only started eight games last year, played an eight game,

93
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 6: started two games for the Baltimore Ravens, and is really fast.

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 7: Maybe you missed him. This guy is talented.

95
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 6: He was just activated officially off THEPUP list, coming back

96
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 6: from an ACL tear and more from last year. But

97
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 6: when he played for Baltimore, this guy was electric eight

98
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 6: and a half yards per carry. He has breakout potential,

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 6: has touchdown potential every time he carries the ball. You know,

100
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 6: we've talked guys about the possibility of the Ravens limiting

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 6: the carries of Derrick Henry making sure that he does

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 6: get worn down, trying to find somehow, some way to

103
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 6: take the load off a little bit. This is it

104
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: right here, and a home run hitter as well. You know,

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 6: this is the kind of thing where I would expect again,

106
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 6: like you know, you tweet Keaton Mitchell's been activated on pup.

107
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 7: People go Okay, cool.

108
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 6: My guess is tonight people know very well who Keith

109
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 6: Mitchell is for the Baltimore Ravens.

110
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Some people tweet that Keith Mitchell's been activated off injured reserve,

111
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: then edit that tweet the safe pup. I'm not saying

112
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: it was somebody here on the show right now. I'm

113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: just saying some people might make it just a minor error.

114
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of lists. You can be activated at

115
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: any time from these lists. I know this, Okay. We

116
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 1: all overreact to national TV games, particularly ones that feel

117
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: big like division games. Here, if the Bengals managed to

118
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: knock off the Ravens tonight, even just forgetting what that

119
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: means actually in terms of the numbers and the stainings,

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: it will suddenly feel like the Bengals are a threat,

121
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: not just to be a playoff team, but again for

122
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: everything that's gone wrong, for all the guys that they've

123
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: been missing, the losses that they suffer, particularly in that

124
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: first month, it will feel like are the Bengals the

125
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: team to beat in that division? A ton on the

126
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: line and loun Rumo and that defense have their hands

127
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: full to try to slow down Lamar and that offense.

128
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: He's got as much experience trying to do that as

129
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: anybody elsewhere in the AFC. The Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence

130
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: dealing with they left shoulder injury. Former NFL coach, former

131
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive coordinator Jay Gruden of Old People, produced a

132
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: minor tizzy this morning when he posted on social media

133
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 1: that he hears Trevor's having surgery no surgery yet, ian,

134
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: but also doesn't sound like real great signs for Trevor

135
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: Lawrence being ready this week against the Vikings.

136
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 6: No, my understanding is Trevor Lawrence is considered unlikely to

137
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 6: play this week for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

138
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 8: I love Jay.

139
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 6: Facts aren't exactly correct. Could there be at some point

140
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 6: for Trevor Lawrence. Yes, my understanding is that is a possibility.

141
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 6: There's none scheduled, there is none imminent. At some point

142
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 6: with the injury that he's dealing with, left shoulder, not

143
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 6: right shoulder, theoretically that would be possible.

144
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 7: He is considered to be I would say day to day.

145
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 6: In other words, if he misses this game, there is

146
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 6: a possibility he plays next week. If he misses that game,

147
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 6: there's a possibility he plays the following week. This doesn't seem,

148
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 6: as of right now, to be the kind of thing

149
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 6: where we know for sure that he'll miss multiple games.

150
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 6: It is really more how can he manage? How does

151
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 6: he feel? But I think for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who

152
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 6: have obviously struggled this season, a really really talented team

153
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 6: just have not gotten the wins they probably should. They're

154
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 6: not expected to have Trevor Lawrence this week, which means

155
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 6: we could get a redemption tour for mac Jones. Mac

156
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 6: Jones is a former first rounder. He is extremely talented.

157
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 6: There were times in New England where it looked like

158
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 6: this guy was going to be the franchise starter. Then

159
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 6: it went completely the opposite direction. All that is going

160
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 6: to start, potentially for Jacksonville for mac Jones this weekend.

161
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: Well, the implications of a Trevor Lawrence injury go well

162
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 5: beyond obviously Trevor Lawrence and even well beyond Mac Jones.

163
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 5: The team is two and seven. They've actually been more

164
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 5: competitive than that record suggests. They're one in five in

165
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 5: one score games and some of them have come down

166
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 5: to the wire. They're just not getting it done. And

167
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 5: we know owner shot con gave Doug Peterson and Trent

168
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 5: Falke the vote of confidence earlier this season.

169
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: But if Trevor.

170
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 5: Lawrence misses time, misses significant time, and this season gets

171
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 5: away from them completely, and obviously it has already gotten

172
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 5: away from them to some degree, you do have to

173
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 5: wonder what the future looks like for Doug Peterson and

174
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 5: this franchise because at the start of the season, shod

175
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 5: Con thought this was the most talented roster they'd ever had.

176
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: That when that comes from an owner, that certainly suggests

177
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 5: that he expects results that will reflect that. The results are.

178
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: Not reflecting that.

179
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 5: And again, if Trevor Lawrence is out for any kind

180
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 5: of extended period of time, the results it's going to

181
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: be a struggle to get the results that would reflect

182
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 5: what shot Con wants. And then you have to think,

183
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 5: when you get to the end of the season, what

184
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: kind of changes may come to Jacksonville. So enormous implications

185
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: that go well beyond Trevor Lawrence's own health.

186
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterback injuries on teams that really need to

187
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: rattle off some wins, Dak Prescott definitely not playing this

188
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: week and not playing for really and definitely at this

189
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: point based on the hamstring injury, that he suffered last

190
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Falcons. Dack sid after the game he

191
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: felt something he never felt before. Ian and I reported

192
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: on Monday that the injury was worse than initially anticipated

193
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: anticipated our Jane Slayer adding new detail on Wednesday. It's

194
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: a partial evulsion of the hamstring tendon.

195
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: That is one that can take a while.

196
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Ian and you have to wonder when, or maybe even

197
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: if we see Dak Prescott back for the Cowboys this season.

198
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's been There have been no definitive answers on

199
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 6: what the future for Dak Prescott except the fact that

200
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 6: if something happens to him this year, if for some

201
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 6: reason he can't play, if he has surgery, all these

202
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 6: things are considered to be possibilities. There's gonna be nothing

203
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 6: that's going to affect next year, which is good. He

204
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 6: has a huge part of the Cowboy's future. He is

205
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 6: their franchise quarterback. He has tied to them for a

206
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 6: very long time as far as this year, though, there's

207
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 6: a lot of uncertainty. Like we talked about, this is

208
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 6: an injury that is worse than anticipating than previously anticipated.

209
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 6: This is an injury is that incredibly painful I know

210
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 6: that Dak Prescott doesn't care about the record, and now

211
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 6: let me say that the record's not going to affect whether.

212
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 7: Or not he plays. He cares about the record, but.

213
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 6: If they're bad, he's still going to want to play.

214
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 6: He wants to play. Within four games, he wants to

215
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 6: play that fifth game. He's going to want to be

216
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 6: out there. But this is a pretty serious injury. And

217
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 6: the fact that the Cowboys and Dak Presscarter right now,

218
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 6: you know, going through second and third opinions, going through

219
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 6: options Tarynessey with the best course of action to proceed,

220
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 6: just indicates this is something where we are not expected

221
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 6: to see Dak Prescott on the field anytime soon.

222
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: I'm really curious to see how the Cowboys handle this,

223
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 5: because you know, Dak is going to want to play

224
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 5: if he is at all able to play. But this

225
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 5: team already feels like the season has slipped away from them.

226
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 5: They've lost three in a row, they have a difficult

227
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: schedule ahead of them. We know they've had a ton

228
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 5: of injuries, especially on defense, and if the record continues

229
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 5: to go in that direction, and this is a pretty

230
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 5: serious injury for Dak Prescott, you do wonder if at

231
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 5: some point they say, we are not pushing you to

232
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 5: get back. You know you need to take time and

233
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 5: get completely healthy again. This season feels like it has

234
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 5: started to slip away from the Cowboys, especially as the

235
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 5: Eagles have found their footing. The Commanders got out to

236
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 5: the hot start. So if those two teams continue to

237
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 5: separate from the Cowboys and the rest of the NFC East,

238
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 5: I do wonder then if the Cowboys take a very

239
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 5: conservative approach with Dak Prescott and say, listen, we know

240
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 5: you want to play, and you're always going to want

241
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 5: to play, but we have to think long term, big

242
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 5: picture here.

243
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers also have dealt with more than

244
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: their share of injuries through the course of this season,

245
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: none bigger than the one that's kept Christian McCaffrey out

246
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: the entire season to this point. However, Christian McCaffrey back

247
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: on the practice field this video from earlier this week.

248
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan still playing at KOY. He was asked the

249
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: other day, when will you be able to say for

250
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: sure the McCaffrey is playing. Kyle's answer was publicly kickoff.

251
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: In other words, not giving anything away. They would have

252
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: to activate him off of injured reserve on Saturday in

253
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: order for him to play in the game on Sunday

254
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers. But Ian, when Kyle shannan also says

255
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: he's had no pain, that's a big deal because it

256
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: was the pain that popped up in Week one when

257
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: they tried to ramp him up from that achilles injury

258
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: last time.

259
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm on board with Kyle Shanahan here. I'm not

260
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 6: saying Christian McCaffrey is definitely for sure one hundred percent

261
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 6: play until kickoff happens and then the forty nine ers

262
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 6: get the ball and then they give the ball to

263
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 6: a running back and it's Christian McCaffrey. Then we'll be like,

264
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 6: all right, he is back because we've done this before.

265
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 6: We have done this before where you thought he was

266
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 6: going to play the open and then get word like

267
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 6: twenty minutes before in actives happened that oh wow, something

268
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 6: is badly wrong. Why is Christian McCaffrey not expected to play?

269
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 6: And that was like two months ago, that seems like

270
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 6: forever ago. But yes, things are going well in practice.

271
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 6: He has had no setbacks, just like the previous week

272
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 6: when they did kind of like a simulated type practice.

273
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 7: Everything went well.

274
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 6: I'm sure he's sore, but no setbacks. If things continue

275
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 6: to go like this, it's going to be positive. But again,

276
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 6: until we see him on the field taking handoffs like

277
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 6: no one's.

278
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 7: Going to say for sure for sure the McCaffrey's playing.

279
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: But the forty nine ers did what they needed to

280
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: do during this period when they had all these injuries,

281
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 5: particularly to McCaffrey. They treaded water and that's all they

282
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 5: needed to do. They just needed to stay afloat. In

283
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 5: the NFC West, the Cardinals are five and four. They're

284
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 5: four and four. They are right in the mix, and

285
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 5: they're getting healthier, assuming that we see McCaffrey on the

286
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 5: field pretty soon. So they are in perfect position. Which

287
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 5: when the injuries started and some of those games, you thought, wow,

288
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 5: they could really lose ground and really be in a

289
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: bad spot. They're in a great spot now. They've got

290
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 5: a lot of NFC games ahead of them. If they

291
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: get healthy and they get going the way we know

292
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 5: they can get going, they're in a great position.

293
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffery was one of the most durable running backs

294
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: to the NFL's first few years in the league. Got

295
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: the big contract with the Panthers, then had a couple

296
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: of injury plagued years before they trade him to the

297
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, got a new contract again this offseason.

298
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: We've not seen him on the field. Currently the highest

299
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: paid running back in the NFL, a chance to start

300
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: paying off on that paycheck very soon. Another running back

301
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: got paid earlier today, the Panthers signing Cuba Hubbard to

302
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: a four year extension worth thirty three point two million,

303
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: including fifteen milli million dollars guaranteed ian. They've already got

304
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders on a big deal, though he's probably not

305
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: long for Carolina. They've drafted Jonathan Brooks in the second round.

306
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: Seems like a pretty clear signal here. For as much

307
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: as we talk about Bryce Young, Dave can Allison company

308
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: want this thing to go through the ground game.

309
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 7: They do.

310
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 6: And look, they have two running backs now they believe

311
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 6: are going to be really good. And they have Miles Sanders,

312
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: who's also making a lot of money, who has been

313
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 6: good in his career. But there's more going on here

314
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 6: than just chewba Hubbard getting a four year, thirty three

315
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 6: point two million dollar extension. You mentioned fifteen fully guaranteed

316
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 6: max value of thirty seven point two million dollars.

317
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 7: This is also a guy who's work ethic they love.

318
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 6: They love him in the locker room. He is an

319
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 6: example of what they're trying to build. And yes he

320
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 6: is a running back. He's now paid like a top

321
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 6: ten running back, and he is really good.

322
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 7: But this is a great way.

323
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 6: For Dan Morgan, the general manager of the Panthers, and

324
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 6: Dave Canalis the coach, to say, look, this is what

325
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 6: we want as we build this thing. If you are

326
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 6: like this guy and you perform, you will get paid.

327
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 6: It is certainly a signal to the locker room and

328
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 6: a very good day for Carolina.

329
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: There was certainly trade interest in Chuba Hubbard this season.

330
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: It was a clear and firm no on anybody calling

331
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: about him, and now he is locked up in Carolina

332
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: for the next several years. Coming up after this, let's

333
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: talk about Jayden Daniels and the rising Commanders. They got

334
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: a big game this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Can

335
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: they sustain this level of play and be the class

336
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: of the NFC East. Well, if they do, you'll hear

337
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: another speech like this, man, you've got.

338
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: Fifty NFL wins.

339
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 4: He's right here, He's from right here in New Jersey.

340
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 9: Let's give it as mister, our toughness, our brotherhood, good division,

341
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 9: went man.

342
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: That's how it goes down.

343
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: Break out those beer steins with breakfast. We got football

344
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: in Germany. It's the Giants and the Panthers early Sunday,

345
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: nine thirty am Eastern Time on NFL Network. And what

346
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: do you know, our Jamie Erdal and Sarah Walsh didn't

347
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: waste any time getting too Munich.

348
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 10: Well, we find ourselves in the city center of Munich

349
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 10: ahead of the NFL's second of a regular season game

350
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 10: to be played here. Sarah and I were here two

351
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 10: years ago for Seahawks Buccaneers. Now we are here for

352
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 10: Panthers Giants. Both teams arrive Friday morning.

353
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 11: The Panthers already made the decision before they were flying

354
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 11: over that Bryce Young is going to get his second

355
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 11: start in a row, and that means he has a

356
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 11: chance to win back to back games for the first

357
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 11: time in his career. We could also see the debut

358
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 11: of Panthers rookie running back Jonathan Brooks, who is coming

359
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 11: off a torn acl That means if he gets any

360
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 11: snaps his first snaps will happen on foreign soil.

361
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 10: Jamie Now Daniel Jones has played quarterback unlike Bryce young

362
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 10: On all season long for the Giants, but the Giants

363
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 10: still looking for their starter to piece something together here

364
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 10: to get positive momentum offensively. Familiar face for the Panthers

365
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 10: as Brian Burns, of course, he was traded to the

366
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 10: Giants last season, signed a massive contract extension and he'll

367
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 10: be a Giant for a couple of years now facing

368
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 10: his former team, although Burns has said it's not on

369
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 10: the back of his mind. Giants Panther Sunday morning here

370
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 10: on NFL Network.

371
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: All right, so full em who was scrimming on the

372
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: background there? But both of these teams have some ground

373
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: to make up in the standings, including my Guiants, who

374
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: are two and seven. They are already zero to four

375
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: in the division, but seventeen game season, still a lot

376
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: of ways to go in certainly some time to show

377
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: progress on the offensive side of the ball, in particular,

378
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insider's Town Pillar Sero Ian Rappaport

379
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: and Judy Bautista. Judy, besides getting to the bottom of

380
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: what exactly happened behind Jamie and Sarah there, what else

381
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: are you looking for in Munich come Sunday.

382
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 5: Well, I am looking to see if the Giants can

383
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 5: get their offense going with any kind of consistency and regularity,

384
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 5: which is something that has eluded them now all season.

385
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 5: But also I'm looking to see Look, we saw some

386
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 5: progress I think from Bryce Young last week, and it

387
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: was nice to see him smile after a victory. But

388
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: the Giants defensive front is really good and Dexter Lawrence

389
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 5: terrorizes quarterbacks who have a lot more experience and a

390
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 5: lot more success than Bryce Young has had. So I

391
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 5: am looking to see how Bryce Young handles that. But

392
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 5: mostly I am looking to see if the Giants can

393
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 5: come away with a win. Because we have said this

394
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 5: before about other teams, you probably don't want to lose

395
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 5: to the Carolina Panthers. We know the Giants. John Mara

396
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: has already given the vote of confidence to Brian da

397
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 5: Boll and Joshane and said they will return next season,

398
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 5: that he's not going to make any changes, but that

399
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 5: would be a long long flight back to New York

400
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 5: if you lose to the Carolina Panthers.

401
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 6: You know, I think for me, a big picture wise,

402
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 6: the NFC East has kind of been maybe a little

403
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 6: different than we thought of. Me We started this show

404
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 6: talking about Dak Prescott and his injury and when the

405
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 6: heck is he gonna play?

406
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 7: And that's not a great development.

407
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 6: Judy talking about the Giants how they can't lose to

408
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 6: the Carolina Panthers and the fact that that's even in

409
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: doubt is a bad development for them. But on the

410
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 6: other side of it, I mean, look, the Eagles have

411
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 6: been good. I think we've known the Eagles would be good.

412
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 6: They're probably about performing like we all thought. It seems

413
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 6: they have one of the more talented rosters in the NFL.

414
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 6: Jalen Hurs is really good. They have great receivers and

415
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 6: a pretty good defense. All of that is true. This

416
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 6: is really about the Washington Commanders, because if the NFC

417
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 6: East is as strong as it probably should be, which

418
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 6: I think it maybe is, it's because the Commanders are

419
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 6: better than they should be, right. I Mean, they traded

420
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 6: for Marshawn Lattimore earlier in the week.

421
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 7: And everybody was like, you know what, that makes sense.

422
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 6: They could use one more lockdown, shutdown corner because maybe

423
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 6: that's the final piece.

424
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 7: And it seems really early.

425
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 6: But this is what happens when you have a great quarterback,

426
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 6: the same thing that happened with the Houston Texans last year,

427
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: which is the roster's pretty good.

428
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 8: Good.

429
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: You get a quarterback who's excellent and he makes everybody

430
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 6: a little bit better, and all of a sudden, you

431
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 6: know what happens, The team is pretty good, and that

432
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 6: makes the NFC's really really interesting. And it's like every

433
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 6: time like we talk about the Eagles or the Giants

434
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 6: or the Cowboys, I'm sure reminded you, like, the Commanders

435
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 6: are just as good, if not better than.

436
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 7: All of them. And that's a really strange world to

437
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 7: be in, but good if you're a Commander's fan.

438
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 5: I also feel like we obsess a lot over Nick

439
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 5: Sirianni's decision making, and for good reason. But the Eagles

440
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 5: are six and two, They've won four games in a

441
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 5: row of the defense has really gotten itself together. They're

442
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 5: top ten in offense and defense. They're a really good

443
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 5: team and they seem to now be on a roll.

444
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 3: Here.

445
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 5: I agree with you, this is all about the Commanders.

446
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 5: Their schedule is going to get a little tougher. The

447
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 5: Eagle schedule is getting tougher two. There's a lot of

448
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 5: NFC games in the schedule coming up for both teams.

449
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 5: I am curious to see if the Commanders, as the

450
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 5: schedule ramps up for them, if they can keep up

451
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 5: with where they are. They have been super impressive. I

452
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 5: love the move to get more Shaun Attimore. That tells

453
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 5: you where they think they're headed even this year. But

454
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 5: for the Eagles, I think they are where they were

455
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 5: supposed to be, even though it hasn't often looked like

456
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 5: maybe what we thought it was going to look like

457
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 5: in the early part of the season. I'm looking to

458
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 5: see if the Eagles can fend off the Commanders.

459
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: Here Eagles Cowboys coming up on Sunday, which certainly feels

460
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: like a separation type game for the teams chasing the

461
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: Commanders all right, coming up after this, we got an

462
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: AFC North clash tonight. It is the Ravens and Bengals

463
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: kicking off Week ten. Cameron wolf oar guy on the

464
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: field has actually made a suit out of those seats

465
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: same color.

466
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: At least we're back after.

467
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 12: This perfect passer rating NFL NFL record fourth of his career.

468
00:22:51,840 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 13: Lamar Jackson, keep it going, man, Just keep it going.

469
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 4: Keep eyes on the prize, man.

470
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 8: Get ready for Thursday.

471
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: Family, were traveling on Wednesday today, Sunday.

472
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 4: Get your bodies right, get your minds right.

473
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: It's a big one on Thursday.

474
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 4: Here we go. Beat the Magls. Beat them Mangls.

475
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 5: All right, two awesome quarterbacks. Can't wait to watch them. Also,

476
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 5: can't wait to see these Ravens helmets. Very cool looking.

477
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 5: I think they have the sort of beady red eyes

478
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 5: on the helmets. Kind of freaked out by those. Very

479
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 5: much looking forward to this uniform. Let's talk uniforms, because

480
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 5: Cam Wolf and I look amazing. We look like we're

481
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 5: dressed like the seats in Baltimore. We didn't even do

482
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 5: this on purpose. Cam Wolf, thanks for joining us. You

483
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 5: are there in Baltimore.

484
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 4: Listen.

485
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: The injury report has.

486
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: Been something to pay attention to this week with this game.

487
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 7: Bring us up to date on it.

488
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Judy, I'm told t Higgins, the Bengals star receiver,

489
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: will not play tonight with a quad injury.

490
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 8: He was doubtful coming into the game, but.

491
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 3: He needs more time on that quad to get fully healthy,

492
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: and so that means more attention for Jamar Chase. He's

493
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: a big part of this offense. He had two touchdowns

494
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: versus the Ravens a month ago, but also he takes

495
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: attention away from Jamar and Chase said this week that

496
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 3: when I played the Ravens, they played more man coverage

497
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 3: against me than any other team except the Cleveland Rounds.

498
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 3: So I'm expecting Land today, but maybe more double team

499
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: covers and so who replaces Tea as a target. Look

500
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 3: for Mike Gasecki, who has developed a really good relationship

501
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 3: with Joe Burrow to get more touches. And then as

502
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: far as the Bengals running back round, they lost Zack

503
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 3: Moss to a neck Injuria into reserve, Chase Brown is

504
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: expected to get a larger level this week. He told me,

505
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: I am ready to show the team that I am

506
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 3: ready to make plays in space with more opportunity. Also,

507
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: look for Khalil Herbert, who they traded for, to make

508
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 3: his debut tonight and have a role carved out for him.

509
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 8: As well as far as the.

510
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: Ravens, you got to look at their running back room

511
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 3: and I know the insiders mentioned it earlier.

512
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 8: Keeten Mitchell will be a big addition for the Ravens offense.

513
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: He's activated off into reserve, and I'm told they're a

514
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: role carved out for him today to play behind Derrick Henry.

515
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: They want me, they want his playmaking ability and that

516
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: will be a good asset for them today. One other

517
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: thing for the Bengals, Orlando Brown, They're left tackle not

518
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: expected to play today.

519
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 8: Another loss for the Bengals in a game they need

520
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 8: to have.

521
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 2: Miss Raets Kim.

522
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 5: I literally had to watch you to see when your

523
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 5: mouth stopped moving because it is so loud there. I

524
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 5: could barely tell when you were talking and it was

525
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 5: the music. However, I think you can hear me now.

526
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 5: Nobody's been able to stop Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry

527
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 5: so far. How are they still able to find so

528
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 5: much success?

529
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 3: Judy is a more dynamic Ravens offense this year because

530
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 3: they keep themselves unpredictable. Todd munkin their offense, Pointeier is

531
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: doing a great job of keeping defense stop ballance.

532
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 8: They run double digit personnel groupings on a given week.

533
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: You know, three tight ends sets, three receiver sets, bothful

534
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: running back things that.

535
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 8: You can't get a feed on Lamar.

536
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: Previously, defenses used to be able to cover zero blitzes

537
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: or drop eight and covers. They have not been able

538
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: to do that, and one example was last week. Lamar

539
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 3: Jackson did not have a single destinated run last week,

540
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 3: and yet he had a perfect passer rating through the air.

541
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: And so Lamar Jackson's well on his way to potentially

542
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: having another MVP season. Dereck Henry's backfield made already over

543
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: one thousand yards potential offensive Player of the Year, and

544
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 3: the only people that can seemingly stop them is themselves.

545
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: But one thing I noted a little earlier in the show,

546
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: the Bengals game plan today will be to make Lamar

547
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: beat them with their arm. They said, we know what

548
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: he's done with his arm against us, but we think

549
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: this team runs with their run with Lamar and Darius Legs,

550
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: So we hope to stop them in the run game

551
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: first and make them beat us in the air.

552
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 5: Kim, we were watching before. Obviously the band is there

553
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 5: in the stadium. It seems like there's a lot going

554
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 5: on set the scene for us there.

555
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, being going, They're getting purple rising going. Like they said,

556
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 8: doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Oh wow, Yeah, it's just constant action. Yeah,

557
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 8: no is working today.

558
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: Is this like your fan club stopping to talk to you.

559
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 4: What's happened?

560
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: Who are these people? By everyone?

561
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 8: People wanted to be on TV, and clearly they succeeded.

562
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 8: Everybody was like, hey, how do I get on? You know,

563
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 8: I want to compliment on my.

564
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 3: Suit, and I think it's really they use the suit

565
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 3: to be able to get on TV, and I told

566
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 3: them I'm not on air.

567
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 8: But clearly they got on, so their mission.

568
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 4: Was a chieved.

569
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 5: The suit looks awesome, CAM, thanks very much.

570
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: Ian.

571
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow versus Lamar Jackson, I mean, does it get

572
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 6: any better than this? Now? I know they're not actually

573
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 6: playing each other, neither of them played defense, but this

574
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 6: is why we are tuning in to watch that. Except

575
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 6: for that little category called wins, it's actually pretty similar

576
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 6: now Burrows beating up on the Ravens where they don't

577
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 6: have Lamar Jackson. That's sort of a different category. These

578
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 6: two studs are going to be going at it tonight.

579
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 7: Let's dig in and break it down a little bit.

580
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 6: Very pleased to welcome in Mark Ross and Brian Baldinger

581
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 6: just to dig into this big time, high octane matchup a.

582
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 7: Little bit tonight.

583
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 6: Baldy, I will start with you when you look at

584
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 6: this game Bengals Ravens, not just Burrow Veal Marvi, Bengals Ravens.

585
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 7: What are you looking for?

586
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 12: Well, I announced that game five weeks ago, that forty

587
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 12: one eight game in overtime, that Baltimore one. Since that

588
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 12: it chanced to win it and overtime they fumbled the

589
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 12: field goal snap right there and McPherson never got a

590
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 12: chance to get it off.

591
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 4: But that'd be said.

592
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 12: I remember talking to Joe before the game and he

593
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 12: just said, look, I gotta be perfect, baldy and not

594
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 12: perfect like thirty for thirty can't miss a pass, but

595
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 12: I've got to maximize every possession, and for much of

596
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 12: the game he did.

597
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: What was interesting about that was that.

598
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 12: They played with the lead, and when they played with

599
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 12: the lead, it kind of took Derrick Henry out of

600
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 12: the game for a while. They were up ten for

601
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 12: much of the game, and when Derrick Henry went out,

602
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 12: Justin Hill came in and they really did a good

603
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 12: job of containing the run in that game until the

604
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 12: very end. With Derrick Henry late in the game got

605
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 12: a fifty one yarder to set up that field goal.

606
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 12: But I thought, and maybe that's the case tonight. Maybe

607
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 12: Cincinnati has got to do what they did right there

608
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 12: to Jamar Chase. And I mean t Higgins did catch

609
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 12: two touchdown passes in that game, and so he was

610
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 12: a big, big factor. But I think this is largely

611
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 12: going to fall on Joe Burrow to try and get

612
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 12: that lead and make the Ravens play from behind. It

613
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 12: was pretty good last time. They just didn't finish it

614
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 12: out right.

615
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 14: Mark, Yeah, for sure, that was an instant classic there

616
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 14: in Baldie, the NonStop acts. Of course that Lamar Jackson

617
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 14: fumbled and throw out a bounds play. But I'm looking

618
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 14: for which Ravens team is going to show up. As

619
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 14: Cam alluded to it, I've said it throughout the year.

620
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 14: I think the only team that could beat the Ravens

621
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 14: is the Ravens. And you know they've inexplicitsplicably lost to

622
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 14: the Raiders and the Browns because they just make mistakes.

623
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 14: Of course, against the Browns they were dropping the interceptions.

624
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 14: Against the Raiders, they had penalties at inopportune times that

625
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 14: cost them points.

626
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: So for me, I'm looking at win.

627
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 14: Are they going to play a clean game? I thought

628
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 14: last week was the cleanest game that they played this season,

629
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 14: and even when they're not clean, they're so talented, they're

630
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 14: so good, they're so explosive that they can just steamroll teams.

631
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 14: But when they're at their worse, they lose the two

632
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 14: worst teams in the league.

633
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: So I'll also be looking for the.

634
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 14: Defense and can those dbs cover these Bengals receivers Jamar Chase.

635
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 14: Of course t Higgins is out, so that helps out

636
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 14: those secondary Can they generate enough pass rush to affect

637
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 14: Joe Burrow? That's what I'll be looking for it Mi

638
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 14: State free football from the Ravens and will this defense

639
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 14: step up they'd be able to stop so because they

640
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 14: couldn't do it last game, they've shown games this year

641
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 14: they can't do it. So which Ravens d is going

642
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 14: to show up here? Yeah, so much to look forward

643
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 14: to to.

644
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 7: I think Burrow's right.

645
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 6: I mean, they really got to be basically perfect to

646
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 6: beat a really, really good team. But they may be

647
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 6: because it does seem like the Bengals are head in

648
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 6: the right direction. Mark Baldy, I'm not saying goodbye because

649
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 6: you guys are going to be back.

650
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 7: But don't move, Just just don't move. Okay, Tom, we

651
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 7: got a.

652
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: Match up a rookie quarterback. Sunday in Chicago. It's the

653
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: Patriots number three pick, Drake May taking on the Bears

654
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: the number one pick Caleb Williams, who was sacked six

655
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: times in a loss last week against Arizona. Here's what

656
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: Caleb had to say about facing the pressure.

657
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 15: I think, one, I understand that it's part of the game.

658
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 15: That's the defensive job is to get me down. I

659
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 15: do understand also that I have to do better at

660
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 15: certain times of getting the ball out understanding the situation.

661
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 15: You know, it may be a third down, and those

662
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 15: are times where you may hold the ball longer, but

663
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 15: you know if there's something underneath that can get us

664
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 15: the first down instead of trying to hit maybe you

665
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 15: know one of the outs, the bench routes or the

666
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 15: the dagger routes and things like that.

667
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: Drake May also coming off a tough day at the office,

668
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: sacked four times through a couple of picks in overtime

669
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: loss to the Titans, but definitely showing flashes of why

670
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots believe.

671
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: In him as he continues to improve.

672
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 16: I think, you know there's times where you know my

673
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 16: decision making and you know whether it's ball security in

674
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 16: the pocket and you know, knowing when that timer goes

675
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 16: off of my head. You know, little things like that,

676
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 16: and other than that, just taking taking the right play

677
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 16: I think is the biggest thing. You'll take an incompletion

678
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 16: that lasts, you know, it's first down, known situation, or

679
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 16: at a third down and around midfield the first reception

680
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 16: I threw, you know, I think sometimes the punt's not

681
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 16: the not the worst thing there, you know, or maybe

682
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 16: you go try to make a play check down and

683
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 16: kind of get a broken tackle and pick up the

684
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 16: first So kind of knowing the situationally acolmost the best

685
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 16: to play for this football team instead of kind of

686
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 16: you know, kind of being as aggressive in certain situations.

687
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,239
Speaker 16: I think you're growing that and storing these in your

688
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 16: situations and these these uh kind of a in my

689
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 16: memory bank for times when hey, you know I did

690
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 16: this last time. Maybe try a different thing, or maybe

691
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 16: try to be more conservative, and I kind of know

692
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 16: when to attack these football teams because'm gonna I'm gonna

693
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 16: be aggressive.

694
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: Number two pick Jayden Daniels also in action this weekend.

695
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: It's Commanders and Steelers, just one of the marquee matchups.

696
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: Will break down next the Baldi Mark Ross turn.

697
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: On the insiders.

698
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: Time now to hit on some Mark Key matchups.

699
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: You get it. It's not a typo.

700
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: It's because our guy Mark Ross I'll have with us

701
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: alongside Brian Baldinger, Ian Rappaport and me Tom Pelissero. All right,

702
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: Week ten, Mark Commanders Steelers. This is a fun one.

703
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: What are you looking for?

704
00:33:58,760 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 4: Well?

705
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 14: Number one Russell? Can he extend this mow strenk here?

706
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 14: I love how they just keep saying it about this guy.

707
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 14: But of course he's been playing well, seems to have

708
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 14: rejuvenated this Pittsburgh offense a little bit here we see

709
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 14: one of them here. But can he continue that against

710
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 14: a much improved Commanders D started out a little slow,

711
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 14: but it had really gotten good the last few weeks.

712
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 14: So I'm looking to see if Russell can continue that.

713
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 14: But also a huge one, Baldi, is the match up

714
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 14: the discrepancy of that second rank Pittsburgh scoring D versus

715
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 14: that Jade and Daniels led third rank Washington offense.

716
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 12: And look, Mark, you know when you watch Jayden, the

717
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 12: thing that's amazing about him, beside his poise and what

718
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 12: he's doing, you can't get him to make a mistake.

719
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 12: I mean, he's throwing two interceptions this year. He hasn't

720
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 12: put the ball on the ground. He sees blitches coming,

721
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 12: He's got just that fast twitch reaction to escape it.

722
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 12: I saw him beat free hitters all week last week

723
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 12: and make the right decision with the ball. The touch

724
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 12: on the deep ball here, Terry McLaurin. That choows you

725
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 12: the last thing to come for a rookie or a

726
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 12: young quarterback is the touch on that deep ball, simply

727
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 12: because it's hard to practice at that speed, you know,

728
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 12: during the week. But he's done that repeatedly. This is

729
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 12: a really good running football team. They do it in

730
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 12: a variety of ways. Even without Brian Robinson last week,

731
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 12: they still ran.

732
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 4: The ball very effectively.

733
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 12: And I'm sure Pittsburgh is saying, well, if we just

734
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 12: shut that down and we make the quarterback beat us,

735
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 12: we'll have them right where we want them. And so

736
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 12: that's the challenge for Jadon Daniels in Washington this week.

737
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, Brian Robinson satu is still up in the air.

738
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 6: We'll see if they end up having him, but they've

739
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 6: been just for not just as productive without him, but

740
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 6: similarly productive. I want to go to another Mark Key, Mark,

741
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 6: a key matchup.

742
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 7: Sorry, I'll get it right eventually.

743
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 6: And this is one maybe we didn't know this would

744
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 6: be a marque one at the beginning of the year. Mark,

745
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 6: tell me about Cardinals Jets.

746
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 14: Yeah, we didn't think so, because can we trust the Cardinals?

747
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 14: That's the thing I'm looking at, the coming off of

748
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 14: three wins in a row. Of course, shaky up and

749
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 14: down the first few games, and now they've won three

750
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 14: in a row. And that man right there, Kyler Murray

751
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 14: can work magic like few quarterbacks in the league. Ken,

752
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 14: So will Kyler continue that magic? A lot of confidence

753
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 14: with this young team getting better, James Connor got the

754
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 14: young Marvin Harrison junior coming through there. So I'm looking

755
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 14: at Ken, we finally trust the Cardinals or well the

756
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 14: Jets who got the huge win last week and came

757
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 14: out of you know, out of nowhere to say our

758
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 14: season is back. Will they put another stamp on it?

759
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 4: Baldy, Yeah?

760
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 12: I mean the Jets have had ten days to get

761
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 12: ready for this game, and so I was up there

762
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 12: yesterday still hadn't practiced, you know, since that Thursday night game.

763
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 12: I'm not really sure exactly what's going on here. I

764
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 12: get as much time as I could with some of

765
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 12: the mistakes they keep making. But like James Carnor, is

766
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 12: that he's the heart beeat of that football team. James

767
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 12: Connor offense, Budda Baker on defense, and you know, I

768
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 12: mean this is a legitimately good running football team. The

769
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 12: offensive line place very well together. He breaks a lot

770
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 12: of tackles. Dee Mercado hit a big run last week

771
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 12: at the end of the first half against Chicago which

772
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 12: broke the game open.

773
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 4: Trey Benson a rookie. I mean, they come at you,

774
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 4: and then.

775
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 12: Of course there's always Kyler, whether it's design runs or scrambles.

776
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 12: I mean, the Jets have not been great against the

777
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 12: run this year, and so that's going to be a

778
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 12: big challenge for this defense.

779
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 4: We could get to Aaron Rodgers and.

780
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 12: What he might do against the young secondary that played

781
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 12: very well last week against the Chicago Bear receivers, and

782
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 12: really they're blitzes and timely blitzes. Really bothered Caleb Williams

783
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 12: all game long. I think, you know, Arizona's looking to

784
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 12: tell everybody and shock the world that we're here for real.

785
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 12: They made a move during the trade deadline which they

786
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 12: had never done bringing in Baron Browning and so maybe

787
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 12: it's a new day for the Cardinals, but the Jets

788
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 12: will have an awful lot to say about it.

789
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: Another marquee matchup Sunday night, Lions Texans mark the best

790
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: offense going right now in the NFL against the Texans

791
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: team that still seems to try to be finding itself

792
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: amidst all those injuries.

793
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 14: Best offense? Is this the best team overall? With the

794
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 14: way those Lions are playing a complete game, you know

795
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 14: every week they seem to find a different way.

796
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at.

797
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 14: Okay, maybe the defense took a step back with the

798
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 14: man Aiden Hutchinson out, but now we got Zadarius Smith,

799
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 14: the huge trade deadline acquisition there. What kind of impact

800
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 14: will he have in this game? And look, he doesn't

801
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 14: have to take over, he doesn't have to be dominant.

802
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 14: He just has to make key plays at key moments.

803
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 14: Because we know the way that Lions offense can roll,

804
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 14: teams have to keep up and essentially in big games,

805
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 14: it's that one stop you need, Baldy, It's that key time,

806
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 14: that third down where you just need that. So will

807
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 14: Zadarius Smith provide that impact against a struggling CJ. Stroud,

808
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 14: who has been without Nico Collins and without now Stefan

809
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 14: Diggs and CD Stroud, and that offense just has not

810
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 14: looked anything remotely close to how they looked last year.

811
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 14: Zadarius Smith will look be able to feast on that Bauldy.

812
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 4: You're correct, Mark.

813
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 12: Offensively, they need a lot of They have a lot

814
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 12: of penalties on the offensive line. The offensive line has

815
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 12: not performed well. Nico has been absent and they're not

816
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 12: the same without him. But defensively, they've given up nineteen

817
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 12: touchdown passes. That's tied for worse in the league.

818
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 4: And you know, you would think that Detroit and they

819
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 4: can do everything right now.

820
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 12: Jared Goff doesn't seem to miss a receiver, doesn't seem

821
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 12: to miss a read, and they can pound you in

822
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 12: the run game. I think the solution, honestly for the

823
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 12: Houston Texans, if they're going to stay in this game or.

824
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 4: Win this game.

825
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 12: They're big three pass rusher as well as Will Anderson,

826
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 12: Denil Hunter or Deniko Artrey Inside, They've got to impact

827
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 12: Jared Goff in this game.

828
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 4: They've got to harass them, they've got to get to them.

829
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: They've got to beat.

830
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 12: A very very good offensive line and the use of

831
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 12: play action. But those three guys were there and are

832
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 12: there to really take really affect games like this with

833
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 12: good quarterbacks.

834
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 4: That's what I'm watching for.

835
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 12: I want to see if this pass rush can affect

836
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 12: Jared Goff and get him into making some mistakes something

837
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 12: he hasn't done.

838
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 4: Hey, by the way, guys, I got one of the

839
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 4: Marquis match.

840
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 12: It's not on the list, but I'm gonna be in

841
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 12: Tampa on some of and Mark, I'm just telling you,

842
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 12: Marquee like San Francisco traveling across the country two weeks.

843
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 12: I mean, the schedule makers didn't do Tampa any favors.

844
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 12: Here Tampa's on a short week Monday night against Kansas City,

845
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 12: you know, overtime game, and here comes San Francisco on

846
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 12: two weeks of rest.

847
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, Christian McCaffrey might be able

848
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 4: to go. I don't know.

849
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: Ian.

850
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 12: You can give us more, Tom, you give us more

851
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 12: news and all that. I'm anxious to see him at

852
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 12: least warm up. See what he looks like. He says

853
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 12: he's paying free. But regardless, I thought Tampa had struggled

854
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 12: to stop you know Kareem Hunt the second half of

855
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 12: that game last week, and I'm sure that they're going

856
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 12: to just get a setti days of Jordan Mason or

857
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 12: you know, Isaac Orendo or Christian McCaffrey, and that kind

858
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 12: of sets the table for how San Francisco wants to

859
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 12: play off.

860
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 4: And so there's a lot to look at.

861
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 12: Tampa's trying to break this losing streak right now, stay

862
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 12: in the race in the NFC South.

863
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 4: A lot on the tap for both these teams right now.

864
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 6: I would say, Baldy, my expectation in the forty nine

865
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 6: ers expectation is that Christian McCaffrey plays.

866
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 7: However, we've done this before.

867
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 6: We've been down this road before, including the opener when

868
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 6: everyone knew he was going to play and then he

869
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 6: didn't play because of achilles injuries that's basically put him

870
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 6: on IR for two months.

871
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 7: So yes, that is the expectation.

872
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 6: I'm also really curious to see how they handle their

873
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 6: running backs. I mean, when McCaffrey is Roland right, he

874
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 6: gets basically all the carries. It's like Derrick Henry's right,

875
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 6: except now they have Jordan Mason, who has become one

876
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 6: of the best running backs in the NFL.

877
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 7: Who is his backup?

878
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 6: Do they split carries with Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason.

879
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 6: You'd think they would to kind of ease the workload

880
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 6: on McCaffrey, except he's awesome, so you'd like to give

881
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 6: the ball as much as humanly possible. It's going to

882
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 6: be fascinating to see how they manage all that. There's

883
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 6: only one football, which is sort of an issue with

884
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 6: the forty nine Ers offense anyway because it's so talented.

885
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 6: But this first game at least will give us an

886
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 6: inkling into how the forty nine Ers were handling.

887
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: Three Marquee matchups and one. Baldi's banger. That's what you

888
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: get here. On Thursdays, we get South to kick off

889
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: week ten. Baldi bark, Thank you very much. Ian stick

890
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: around here has come up after this, we got to

891
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: talk about something very important, which is Kirk Cousins has

892
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: a beard. Now he's as doing this and I can't

893
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: see this video enough, or maybe I see it way

894
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: too much. We're gonna talk about something else that he's doing.

895
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: Now that's a little bit of a change up. Maybe

896
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: Ian might have something similar. We'll explain after this on

897
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: the Insiders.

898
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 3: That once you get us up, gets the park part.

899
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 7: Ways MESA ready, everybody get out of the ways.

900
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 17: Wow.

901
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: My main question off that promo is what song that was?

902
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that's Romstein. I figured that would have

903
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: been the pick for the Germany game. Hey, way, yet

904
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: New York hype in Munich, It's Statue of Liberty.

905
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: Just a lot going on in all these different things.

906
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: All right, it's Giants and Panthers. It is Sunday morning,

Speaker 1: one pick, Bryce Young making his third consecutive start against

00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and a Giants.

910
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: Team that right now is just trying to stay afloat.

911
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,120

921
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: rocking fabulous fuzz that also goes for a certain NFL

922
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: quarterback who you might have guessed has an interesting way

923
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: of explaining exactly why he's bearding out.

924
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 17: And I can go on on about the beard too,

925
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 17: now that you teed me up. So the beard, I

926
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 17: tend to not grow it as much in the off season.

927
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 17: That's kind of been my rhythm. During the season, I

928
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 17: tend to have a little more of a beard, just

929
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 17: as a mind state you kind of have to go to.

930
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 17: I think my wife says she likes the beard. She

931
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 17: kind of always has the Trump cards, so she likes

932
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 17: the beard, and then I do try to keep it

933
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 17: somewhat trimmed. Steve Benjamin our registered diet here. After we

934
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 17: beat the Eagles, he came up to me. He's beards

935
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 17: you know here like Santa Claus Kirk were one and

936
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 17: one as a football team, but he said, the beard

937
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 17: is one and zero for you. Because I didn't have

938
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 17: the beard as much against the Steelers. So ever since then,

939
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 17: I've kind of taken Steve's advice and tried to keep

940
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 17: the beard.

941
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 4: A little bit.

942
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,959
Speaker 17: But yeah, that's so that's my soapbox on the beard.

943
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 17: I guess my brother's jealous of my beard. He thinks

944
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 17: mine's better than his. So that's also fun to kind

945
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 17: of up this.

946
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insider's Town Pilla Sarah, Ian Rapport,

947
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: Judy Batista, Judy, I'll.

948
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 4: Start with you.

949
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 2: You got any any Kirk Cousins levels superstitions.

950
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 5: I eventually am going to defer to Ian because he

951
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 5: is the most superstitious of us.

952
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 16: All.

953
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 5: I will say that during the Mets recent playoff run,

954
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 5: I discovered at some point that they performed better when

955
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 5: I was not actually able to watch them directly, and

956
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 5: so then I started to just walk out of the

957
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 5: room at very tense moments, and it worked right up

958
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 5: until they faced the Dodgers.

959
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: Right, Ian, how about for me?

960
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 7: I don't really think I'm very superstitious. I mean, there

961
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 7: are things that I do all the time no matter what.

962
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 6: So yes, Jeff Colet, our producer, asked, I put pants

963
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 6: and shoes and socks on the exact same way every day,

964
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 6: or I can't do it, which I don't think that's weird.

965
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 6: I ate the same lunch every single day, no matter what,

966
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 6: A little cup of soup and some yogurt. I work

967
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 6: out in the peloton before gdm Our Sunday show, no

968
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 6: matter what.

969
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 7: Can't do the show without it. But I don't think

970
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 7: this is like not normal stuff. I think this is

971
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 7: what like.

972
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 6: Regular people do to try to get into a routine. Right,

973
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 6: I think this is normal.

974
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 16: Right.

975
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: The number three, number three on that list jumps out

976
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: ian because I wouldn't gets sider that a superstition, And

977
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: in fact, I'm the one who turned you onto that

978
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: because years ago I used to ride the bike, whether

979
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: it was at home or whether it was in a hotel,

980
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: and I would send you and Mike, you afollo ridiculous

981
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: videos of me on the bike at like four thirty AM,

982
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: and we used to have a six A Central show.

983
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: Eventually you adopted it, and now you can't live without it,

984
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: which I appreciate.

985
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, but that's kind of how I work though,

986
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 6: And again I don't think that's weird. It's like, once

987
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 6: I find something and it works, like I like how

988
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 6: it gets me ready to go, gets me in my

989
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,959
Speaker 6: right mindset. So now I basically can't do the show

990
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 6: without it. Just like Judy can't allow the Mets to

991
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 6: play with her actually watching. She has to walk out

992
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 6: of the room, knowing that if she does watch, she's

993
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 6: really going to screw.

994
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 5: Them over, right, Exactly, I don't have a I think

995
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,479
Speaker 5: eating the same lunch is actually a lot of people

996
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 5: do that.

997
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 4: That's not that out of the norm.

998
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 5: How did you discover that you put your pants and

999
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 5: socks and shoes on left foot for it?

1000
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 3: Like?

1001
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: Why how did that start?

1002
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 4: What happened?

1003
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 7: Okay, funny you should ask.

1004
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 6: So I put my pants on the regular way, and

1005
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,479
Speaker 6: then I upgraded socks, so I have some really nice,

1006
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 6: like comfortable socks now, except they have a left and

1007
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 6: a right. And so what I found is that I'd

1008
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 6: go to put on the right sock and I'd be like, nope, nope, no, no, no, no, no,

1009
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 6: this is not happening, and I would put it down,

1010
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 6: and I would put the left sock on first.

1011
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 7: Again, this is behavior that a lot of people do,

1012
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 7: not just me. So I think it's normal. But yeah,

1013
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 7: I figure, I just it doesn't work on the right

1014
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 7: side has to go left then right.

1015
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: Do you ever get to your destination and you realize

1016
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: in the suitcase you undo, like the little two socks

1017
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: are wrapped together and they're both left socks.

1018
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: That happens to me that would never happens, infuriating. It

1019
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, there's absolutely no difference. But if they both

1020
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 2: say L, I assume I'm going to take an L

1021
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 2: by putting both of them on.

1022
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: All right, thank you very much for joining us. Enjoy
