Speaker 3: We'll see if they get into the postseason.

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 4: But Jp you mentioned the Pro Bowlers. We know there's

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 4: no more real Pro Bowl they played and things like that.

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 4: But let's just take a list of the Pro Bowls

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 4: who showed up on our little show, the NFL Report.

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 4: We've had Alan Ingols, Jason Kelsey, Justin Simmons, Jesse Bates Third,

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: and Joel Buttonio. Six Pro bowlers have been on this show.

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: We are not playing around. Remember we are also a podcast,

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: so you can listen to us at JP. I want

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 4: to talk some Pro Bowls and just my little bit

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 4: here is like I've seen a lot of Pro Bowl

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 4: respect here. Remember the majority of the emphasis and who

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: gets to the Pro Bowl it's a peer issue. And

32
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 4: the fact that Jalen Ramsey of the Miami Dolphins has

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: played in only nine games but has turned around.

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 5: Their defense and makes the Pro Bowl.

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 4: That's game recognizing game. We're scenes of tape of him

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: right here playing outside. He plays inside, but his peers

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: understand how much he has meant to that team. Also,

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: the Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen, who's an eight contract

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: year by the way, monster year, Monster year. He finally

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: shows up when one and win, the switch is going

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: to go off for him. He makes the Pro Bowl.

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 4: And lastly, Aaron Donald if you paid attention to him. Yeah,

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 4: the sack numbers aren't there, but he continues to be

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: one of the most disruptive defenders in the NFL.

45
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 5: He hasn't had some of the veteran support around him.

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: But those young guys like Byron Young making the play

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 4: right here staring him into Aaron Donald have showed up.

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: So salute to game, recognizing game, and these three very

49
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 4: worthy men going into the Pro Bowl.

50
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: I'll go with a guy I remember covering his Pro

51
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: Day and he did his interview with me down in

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: Miami topless, And if I had Philip Dave Najoku, I

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: would have done a topless as well. And his emergence

54
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: the back end of this season has been remarkable. Since

55
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco has been the quarterback since Week fourteen, I

56
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: think he's second in the NFL in receiving arts.

57
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: That's everyone.

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: I think that's a very worthy nomination considering he wanted out,

59
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: wanted to get traded now, was a fan favorite chug

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: of beers with guys in the stands there in Cleveland.

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: It's been a remarkable story for David Ajoku this season.

62
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go with two snubs. You talked about

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: game getting recoganized. I don't think Lugerius Sneed's game has.

64
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 5: Not been recognized at all in the NFL this year.

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: He is one of the few top corners, Steve, you

66
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: are right that travels with number ones. It's the way

67
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: Steve Spagnola does it. And he has shut down Number

68
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: one receivers week in and week out, and the other one.

69
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: Antoine Winfield Junior, he should have been our seventh Pro

70
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: bowler that we had on this show. He had one

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: of the best safety seasons in the NFL this year.

72
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: I would say it's him and Kyle Hamilton really the

73
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: two best safety performances this year. He led all safeties

74
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: with five sacks, five forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries top

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: three and tackles pass defense. He was everywhere on the

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: field and when I talked to guys that play in

77
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: the secondary Steve in locker rooms across the league the

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: last few weeks, they've been telling me Antoine Winfield Junior

79
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: has been remarkable this year. That's the biggest snub. I

80
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: tweeted about it. Dave Canalis, their offensive cord interactually responded

81
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: to my tweet and sympony follows you emoji of one

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: of these right here. I like that he followed me too,

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: but he hadn't had these emojis put me up on

84
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: the screen. Here, Steve the one that looked at the

85
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: thinking like the I don't know what's going on here.

86
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: Kind of emojis. To Antoine Winfield Junior getting snubbed.

87
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: Well, you're absolutely right Jp that he he should have

88
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 4: been in and both those guys should have been in.

89
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 5: I mean, lugerryus sneak that dude. He's about to get paid.

90
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: It might not be by the Chiefs, but he's one

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 4: of the best corners in the NFL. Well, talking about

92
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 4: Pro Bowlers, Ceedee Lamb is a Pro bowler and they got.

93
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 5: A big game coming up this week.

94
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 6: Back to throwing, let's him from the safety spot at

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 6: Prescott of State stand lunch too is.

96
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 5: Life thrills on the round in the middle of the

97
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 5: Lamb fifty.

98
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 6: You have been anywhere near Lamb if you wanted to

99
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 6: CD Lamb lighty yours t get bressed out from the

100
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 6: Dallas touchdown, And.

101
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 4: Of course I have to play off from last week's

102
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: touchdown the Ceedee Lamb had when Dak Prescott's escaped out

103
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 4: of the end zone by a whift Blitz pick up there.

104
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 4: But that's one thing, you know, James, we look we

105
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: look at the Cowboys like it's crazy. How the conversation

106
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: normally we're always talking about the Cowboys. We really have

107
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: kind of bypassed them when all they have to do

108
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: is win at Washington to clinch the NFC East this week,

109
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: they will be the number two seed if that is

110
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: the case. At James, I think this is one of

111
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: the more dangerous teams should they get into the postseason.

112
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 5: And here's why.

113
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: We just saw the combination of Dak Prescott the Ceedee Lamb.

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: Lamb had two hundred and twenty eight yards right there

115
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 4: with him playing in the slide, at his size and

116
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: at his spain, teams are just finding it absolutely impossible

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 4: to cover him and that combination.

118
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 5: When they get into the postseason, they can.

119
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: Find a lot of favorable matchups and that's opening up

120
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: the run game a little bit. Using him in the

121
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: slot again, do you double him and leave Brandon Cook's open,

122
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: Because now all of a sudden, Brandon Cooks is getting

123
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: into the end zone. He's not putting up one hundred

124
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: yard games, but he is scoring points, and what Ceedee

125
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 4: Lamb and Dak Prescott have going on JP is why

126
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: I think the Dallas Cowboys have a great shot of

127
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 4: beating Washington this week. They better not sleep but getting

128
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 4: that number two seed and hosting at least one playoff

129
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: game in Dallas.

130
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: Steve, what I'm going to piggyback on is the highlights

131
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: that you're seeing if you're watching this show, if you're

132
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: listening to the show, I'll describe them to you. You

133
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: saw Ceedee Lamb run his original route and then Dak

134
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: Prescott broke free. Ceedee Lamb puts his arm in the

135
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: air and they throw the ball deep. What the two

136
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: of them have on what a lot of defensive players

137
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: called the second play I think is the difference in

138
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: this offense this year. It's the difference in maybe why

139
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: we see the Cowboys have a different run in the postseason.

140
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: It was a big thing that Mike McCarthy was working

141
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: on with Dak Prescott back to training camp. Everybody's curious

142
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: about the interceptions and how Dak was playing well. A

143
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: lot of what they were trying to do is have

144
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: him play off schedule. When the play breaks down, scramble

145
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: play outside of the pocket. When I talk to people

146
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: in Dallas this year when I was preparing to cover

147
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: a couple of their games, it was this he finally

148
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: trusts playing outside of the pocket, Steve and what happens

149
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: in the postseason defensive coordinators they dial everything up, yeah,

150
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: and really very few times everything goes right for what

151
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: you want to do offensively. So when things break down

152
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: and you can make plays scrambling, and that's one thing

153
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: that Ceedee Lamb's great with with Dak Prescott, that you

154
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: can extend the play, you're more dangerous in the postseason.

155
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: Look at the quarterbacks that have had tremendous success of late,

156
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: and they're all good at it, and Patrick Mahomes and

157
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson.

158
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: I can you know, the list could go on.

159
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: The guys that can improvise and create Josh Allen that

160
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: is needed in the postseason. And I think that aspect

161
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: of Dak's game improving and showing its face this year

162
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: makes them a little bit more dangerous.

163
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 4: Here's the interesting going in a Week eighteen, though, if

164
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: they are the number two seed, they can face a

165
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: team like the Packers or the Rams in the first round,

166
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: but if they fall to the Wildcards heat at number five,

167
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: they'll play the winner on the NFC South. That might

168
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 4: be a more of an open door for them, except

169
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: they have to go on the road where they're really

170
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 4: not very good this season. Well, Ja, we also have

171
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: a couple of teams that are in some win and

172
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: in scenarios. Okay, we've got the Jags, We've got the Colts.

173
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: We have the Texans who play the Colts, the Buccaneers

174
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 4: and the Packers. Of those teams, which one do you think,

175
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: if at the beginning they get in, could actually win

176
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: a playoff game or two.

177
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Houston Texans. And these are

178
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: the reasons why.

179
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: Because they have I believe, a very talented coaching staff

180
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: that has prepared them extremely well throughout the season, and

181
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: that is needed, as I mentioned earlier in the postseason,

182
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: to have brilliant game plan specifically on defense for these

183
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: offenses too. They're an explosive offense and we just haven't

184
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: seen explosive offenses throughout this NFL season.

185
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: And they could put point on the board very quickly.

186
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: And it's because of their quarterback, who Baldy was on

187
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: this show last week Steve remember just saying c J.

188
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: Stroud just isn't rattled. It just makes it look like

189
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 2: a can of cornback there to quote Faldy, and I

190
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: don't think the playoffs are going to be a big

191
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: stage for him at all. He's played on massive stages

192
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: and he's great late in games. That's the other aspect too.

193
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: They've had heroic finishes in this regular season. Why would

194
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: they not be able to do it in the postseason.

195
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: Why would teams not fear it in the postseason. What

196
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: bums me out a little bit is some of the

197
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: injuries that they're dealing with at this point in the

198
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 2: season in terms of getting after the quarterback. They're a

199
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: little bit banged up up front, they're a little bit

200
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: banged up, but getting CJ.

201
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: Stroud back, I think they're still dangerous.

202
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: They may not even get into the postseason they play

203
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 2: on Saturday, but if they get in, I think of

204
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: these teams in the win and get in situation, I

205
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: think they're the ones the most dangerous to win a

206
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 2: playoff game.

207
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 4: But we know the Bills are also and then winning

208
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: a situation. We've been talking for weeks like if they

209
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 4: get in, they could make a Super Bowl run, so

210
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: we kind of excluded them on purpose just because these

211
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 4: are more of the fringe teams that are fighting, yeah, oh,

212
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 4: fighting big time to get in. Jabie, I'm going with

213
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 4: the Green Bay Packers. Now they play the rival the Bears,

214
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: who are playing very well in Week eighteen.

215
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 5: But here's why I like the Packers.

216
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: Now that they've got Aaron Jones back, their running game

217
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: is working, they are playing complimentary football. Jordan Love, as

218
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 4: we have seen, has gotten better and better. They've had

219
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: some inconsistencies through the season, but they have also beaten

220
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: some playoff caliber teams, such as they have beaten the

221
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: Detroit Lions, They've beaten the Saints, They've beaten the Rams,

222
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: and they've beaten the Chiefs. You cannot say that about

223
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 4: some of the teams that we just talked about, again,

224
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: not saying that they couldn't in these situations, but the

225
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: fact that the Packers have been here and they've won

226
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: some games with some big performances on a pretty big stage.

227
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: I like them.

228
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 5: Should they get in.

229
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 4: That should also be very pleasing to one of our producers,

230
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: Jeff Kollett, who is a big Packers fan.

231
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: I love that what I find interesting, real quick, Steve,

232
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: is that neither one of us mentioned the Jacksonville Jaguars,

233
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: who I believe all of us had extremely high expectations

234
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 2: heading into the season, massive expectations for Trevor Lawrence in

235
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: year two with Doug Peterson.

236
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: We'll see things can come together. Christian Kirk looks like

237
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 3: he's coming.

238
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: Backs defensively, so that could be a big, big thing

239
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: for them.

240
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 3: But very very interesting that neither one of us picked them.

241
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: Coming up, we mentioned the Bills, Steve, so we will

242
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: get to them and Cameron wolf joining the show next

243
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, or as Vic Fangio calls him.

244
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: John Elway on steroids. Can he do it again down

245
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: in Miami?

246
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: We'll find out for Cameron wolf Next on the inside

247
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: Scoop on this massive game in week team on the

248
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: NFL Requarter.

249
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 4: We are back at the NFL Report and JP We're

250
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: now joined by our man, Cameron Wolfe.

251
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: I'm real quick, Cam. We mind people, this is.

252
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: Also a podcast, so listen to the podcast so they

253
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: can hear great discussions like we're about to have about

254
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 4: the Bills and the Dolphins. This is the game of

255
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 4: the weekend and the Buffalo Bills are pretty much owned

256
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: for lack of a better verbiage.

257
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 5: Here the Miami Dolphins. Josh Allen ten and two against

258
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 5: the Dolphins.

259
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: Now he's facing a Dolphins defense without Jalen Phillips, without

260
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 4: Bradley Chubb or two edge guys Avian Howard. We don't

261
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 4: know his injury status. How does Vic Fangio get this

262
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 4: defense schemed up to stop an offense that is rolling

263
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: in the run and pass games.

264
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 7: Well, Steve Man, this is quite a challenge.

265
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: You know, I love the wire. This is like the

266
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 3: king stays the king. You come at the king, you

267
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: bet it's not missed.

268
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 8: Right.

269
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 9: The Bills have been the king of the AFC East

270
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 9: and the and the Dolphins had them. They had three

271
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 9: game lead with five left. It looked like this game

272
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 9: might not have mattered for the division, but the Bills

273
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 9: hawked him down and now it's the winner take off

274
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 9: And the reality is with Bradley Chubb's in, they're gonna

275
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 9: have to figure out some pass rush with Emanuel Ogba.

276
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 9: He's going to get a big uptick and snatch with him.

277
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 9: But the bigger news you just mentioned it, Xavin Howard

278
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 9: is expected to miss this game with a foot injury.

279
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 9: Why that's huge because the last time they played, Stefon

280
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 9: Diggs and Josh Allen went off, and they went off

281
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 9: because Jalen Ramsey was out that game and so they

282
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 9: only had one top corner. And if you know anything

283
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 9: about Vic Vangeo's defense this year, he has a little

284
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 9: bit of a reluctance to shadow corners. And so it's

285
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 9: going to be interesting schematically what they do this week

286
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 9: because Eli Apple is going to start on the other

287
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 9: side of Jalen Ramsey. Stephan Dicks has not had the

288
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 9: numbers over the last few weeks as you would expect,

289
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 9: but he's still Stefan Diggs and that's still josh Allen

290
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 9: who's towards this Dolphins team. And so I talked to

291
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 9: Vic Vangiel earlier today. He said that, look, the reason

292
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 9: why we don't shadow is usually because we have two

293
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 9: top corners, but I have shown an ability to do

294
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 9: it in my past. So he hinted that it's a

295
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 9: possibility that they could go the show route with Jalen

296
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 9: Ramsey like they did against the Jets with Gary Wilson.

297
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: I think they definitely need to figure out something or

298
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: this could be a.

299
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: Long day for that defense, and it's so interesting cam

300
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: with Vic Fangio. I'm just thinking how he's looking at

301
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: all this film and trying to dissect it. You talked

302
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: about Week four, that's when Stefan Diggs goes for one

303
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty and three touchdowns. Now the last three weeks,

304
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: as Fangio is breaking down the film, it's not like

305
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: diggs production has just dipped. His usage on the field

306
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: has dipped forty five percent of the snaps, sixty percent

307
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: of the snaps, and sixty five percent of the snaps

308
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: the last three weeks his three lowest totals of the season. Now,

309
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: what I'm fascinating about Steve is kind of how Vic

310
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: looks at and goes, what's kind of happening here with Diggs?

311
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: Do I have to shadow him with what's happening with

312
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: the Bills? And the Bills are saying that you know,

313
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: they're running the football more frequently, that's why he's not

314
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: getting the run. You know, he demands a double team,

315
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: that's why his production's down. I'm like, well, if you're

316
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: constantly doubled, you probably shouldn't leave the field if you're

317
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: getting that amount of attention. But it's been really fascinating.

318
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: See what happens with Stefan Diggs now Cam, I'm fascinated

319
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: also when Diggs and Josh Allen, or as Vic Fangio

320
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: calls him, John Elway on steroids come down to Miami.

321
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: What type of advantage is that? And that's a brilliant quote.

322
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: By the way, what type of a Spanish does Miami

323
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: feel like they have that this important game is played

324
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: down in Florida?

325
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, John Elway on steroids is a heck of a quote.

326
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 9: And Vic Vangiel made sure to say believe. I don't

327
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 9: believe he's on steroids. I'm just trying to make the

328
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 9: alarm and everything I'm trying to.

329
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: Josh all dream tested. I'm just trying to say, make

330
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: the comet. Josh probably is not gonna love that.

331
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 9: But the reality is the Dolphins have been a completely

332
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 9: different team at home versus away. They're seven and one

333
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 9: at home this season. Their only loss was that collapse

334
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 9: late against Tennessee. And I talked to offensive lineman left

335
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 9: tackle Toronto Armstead this week and he explained it to

336
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 9: me this way. You know all the motion they do

337
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 9: preating that, he said, we have to go to silent

338
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 9: count on the road, and a lot of times the

339
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 9: cadence is off, and if you're off by just a hitch,

340
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 9: you know, Leam Mikingberd or New Center, it could affect

341
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 9: our speed off the line.

342
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: It could affect how they get the ball back to

343
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: Tua and get that.

344
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: Motion off to Tyreek.

345
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 9: And he said a lot of times we've just been

346
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 9: out of sink on the road, but at home, we

347
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 9: feel like it's our domain. And he said, that's why

348
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 9: it's so important for us to win on Sunday and

349
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 9: get this two seed so we can play at home

350
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 9: in the playoffs. And so this is a team here

351
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 9: in Miami that has played Buffalo. Their last three games

352
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 9: in Buffalo, three losses.

353
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: The last time they played in Miami was that Sun game.

354
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 9: September twenty twenty two where it was one hundred degrees

355
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 9: on the field.

356
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: But Miami won.

357
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 9: And so we talked about all the injuries that they're

358
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 9: debilitated on the defensive side of the ball. The Bills

359
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 9: are walking into this game as favorites, but what could

360
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 9: be the equalizer. Maybe the Dolphins home field advantage. If

361
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 9: it helps their offense out with communication, maybe that helps

362
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 9: them offset some of those injuries on the defensive side.

363
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: Can That's a great point the homefield communication, because there's

364
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: been some talk about the same thing that happens at

365
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys when they go on the road, that

366
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: here we go and all that type of cadence is

367
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: very different.

368
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 10: What it is.

369
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 5: But I mean, it's just just what it is at

370
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 5: home and all the road. All right, Cam, We'll appreciate

371
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 5: you so much.

372
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: How fun this game is the big game of the week,

373
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 4: and we're going to have you back on next week

374
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 4: to talk about what's happening as we go into the postseason.

375
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: I can't wait, fellas appreciate you.

376
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 11: Whatever success I have had, I've tried to go about

377
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 11: my job the same way every week, win, lose, you know,

378
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 11: good years, bad years, whatever they are. You know, just

379
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 11: each week, get ready to go for that week, do

380
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 11: the best you can to help your team win, and

381
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 11: after that game, move on to the next one and

382
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 11: at the end of the season, that's the end of

383
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 11: the season. But on a week to week basis, I mean,

384
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 11: I don't want to spend time or get caught up

385
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 11: in you know, what happened five years ago or what's

386
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 11: going to happen two years from now or you know,

387
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 11: I mean bunch of other random stuff. So just working

388
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 11: on the Jets. Yeah, I'm committed to the team that

389
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 11: I'm coaching right now. The players that are here, they

390
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 11: deserve my best every day and that's what I'm going

391
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 11: to give them. You know, if I was going to

392
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 11: do anything, i'd put it out there on you know,

393
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 11: Twitter and my face there if he can see if.

394
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 3: You're saving it for this, I'll do that. Then I'll

395
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 3: just keep it private.

396
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 2: Well that was Bill Belichick on WEEI in Boston. I'm

397
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: surprised he said MySpace. Judy Batista usually says face space.

398
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: That's usually how he combines Facebook in MySpace. I'm not

399
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: sure if your MySpace profile still active, but Judy Batista

400
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: now joins.

401
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: The NFL Report with Steve White and I and Judy.

402
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: It's the most talked about topic I've been in New

403
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 2: England the last couple of weeks.

404
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: You and I sat next to each other during.

405
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: A game in New England over the last couple of weeks,

406
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: and it's all anybody can talk about in that region,

407
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: and we're all curious across the country. What is the

408
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: timeline you think where a decision could come down after

409
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: a conversation with Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick.

410
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 12: I'd be really surprised if it happens immediately.

411
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 13: You know how usually on the final Sunday we start

412
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 13: getting dribs and rabs of job openings Sunday afternoon, Sunday evening.

413
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 13: I'd be surprised if that were the case here. There's

414
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 13: an awful lot of history here. Whatever they decide to do,

415
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 13: whichever direction it is, I suspect that there's going to

416
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 13: be a long conversation. I don't think that this has

417
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 13: been an easy decision for Robert Craft and Jonathan Kraft.

418
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, they've been with Bill Belichick for

419
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 13: twenty five years and obviously enjoyed just staggering success, and

420
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 13: so even in the last few years have literally been disappointing,

421
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 13: and this year especially has just been a mess.

422
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 12: You know, it's hard.

423
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 13: I mean, this is not the same as making a decision,

424
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 13: you know about a coach who's been with your organization

425
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 13: for two years. This is Bill Belichick, and I think,

426
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 13: you know, probably playing into it also is the fact

427
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 13: that they let Tom Brady become a free agent and

428
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 13: then watch Tom Brady go win a Super Bowl for

429
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 13: another team, and you know, all of New England is

430
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 13: wondering if you get rid of Bill Belichick now, or

431
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 13: you're going to watch Bill Belichick go win it all

432
00:19:58,920 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 13: somewhere else.

433
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: Tell that fatalistic mentality that they have up there in

434
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: the Boston region that it's all not going to work.

435
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 5: But Judy, tell me that's because of that timeline.

436
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 4: If they do wait in any way, does that put

437
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 4: them behind an eight ball for team to go ahead

438
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: and have already made the decision or are planning on

439
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 4: making decisions sooner.

440
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 13: You know, let's just play out the hypothetical, because there's

441
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 13: been a lot of conversation about with the Patriots try

442
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 13: to get something in compensation? Right, would they try to

443
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 13: trade Bill Belichick or somebody wants them? Well, we all

444
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 13: know this, right, because of the Rooney Rule, the NFL

445
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 13: has purposely slowed down the hiring process to get owners

446
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 13: to interview a wider array of candidates, and so that

447
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 13: slows the process down for everybody. And so I'm not

448
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 13: even sure how the mechanics of a trade would work

449
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 13: with that in place, because a team that maybe wants

450
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 13: to hire Bill Belichick could negotiate a trade with the

451
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 13: Patriots for him, but they would still have to interview

452
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 13: other candidates to comply with the Runey rules, So again

453
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 13: that slows the process down. Chick has one more year

454
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 13: left on his Patriots contract, and you know, the Patriots,

455
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 13: as you probably remember back in the day after he

456
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 13: resigned as HC of the NYJ, the Patriots gave up

457
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 13: a first round draft pick to get him, and so

458
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 13: obviously they would want some kind of return. I'm not

459
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 13: sure they're going to get it. And again that really

460
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 13: sort of MUCKs up the timeline here.

461
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: It's fascinating, and you know, we're always curious, Judy, which

462
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: teams are going to take a big swing thinking that

463
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: they can make a strike for Bill Belichick, even if

464
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: they wanted to potentially trade for him. I'm thinking of

465
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: a team that might want to make a big swing.

466
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: His initials of the owner rhyme with Mark Davis. And

467
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: he does have an interim head coach right now in

468
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: place in Antonio Pierce. He's in the same position he

469
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: was before with rich Bassacia. Does he look to make

470
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: a big swing, because some people around the league think

471
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 2: that's still in his you know pocket, or does he

472
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: have the next head coach of.

473
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: The Raiders already in that position right now.

474
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 13: Well, I think Antonio Pierce has done a great job

475
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 13: doing exactly what you would want an interim head coach

476
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 13: to do, and that is he has brought positive energy. Obviously,

477
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 13: they've won some game, they look revived, and he kept

478
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 13: them in the playoff mix until week seventeen.

479
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 3: Right.

480
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 12: The offense is a mess, that's not Antonio Pierce's fault. Right.

481
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 13: The quarterback situation kind of a mess. Right, There's all

482
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 13: kinds of big decisions coming for that team. But when

483
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 13: you put an interim head coach, when you fire a

484
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 13: coach in the middle of the season and put an

485
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 13: interm in place, that is exactly what you want an

486
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 13: interim to do. Bring the team together, give them some

487
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 13: positive energy, improve the feeling in the building, all things

488
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 13: that Antonio Pierce has done.

489
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 12: And I agree with you.

490
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 13: I wonder how the Rich Pasacia experience place in Mark

491
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 13: Davis's head as he's making this decision. Having said that

492
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 13: Mark Davis likes big names, his dad likes big names.

493
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, there is certainly the feeling that

494
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 13: the Raiders are Raiders and they need a big name

495
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 13: at coach in Las.

496
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 12: Vegas, and they are going to be big name coaches available.

497
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 12: You know, maybe it's going to be Bill Belichick.

498
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: Sorry, God bless me.

499
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 13: I mean, we'll know more after next Monday, after the

500
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 13: National Championship Game. But is is Jim pro serious this

501
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 13: time about jumping back into the NFL? And if he does, right,

502
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 13: and certainly hiring an agent like Don Yee suggests that

503
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 13: maybe this is a little bit more than just a

504
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 13: flirtation this year. But if he jumps, there's obviously going

505
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 13: to be a lot of suitors for him as well

506
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 13: or Donnee.

507
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 4: He represents Sean Payton, Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolos, some other

508
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 4: big people yep. And also the GM champ. Kelly's done

509
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 4: a very good job. He's someone's interviewed for GM jobs

510
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 4: of four, so that might be a keeper as well.

511
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 4: I want to go to Pittsburgh and Mike Tom was

512
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: not going anywhere, right, But their OC situation.

513
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: Has already gotten rid of one.

514
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 4: They've got an interim and their quarterback situation. I mean,

515
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 4: are they in OC away from from flipping they still

516
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 4: not get into the playoffs? Are they a quarterback away

517
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 4: or are they both away? From turning the corner.

518
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 13: Listen, they may turn the corner right now under this

519
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 13: very strange condition, right, you get rid of your OC

520
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 13: in the middle, and then your offense is still struggling,

521
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 13: and then you're with the backup quarterback and then they

522
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 13: really take off and everybody's happy, and you may go

523
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 13: to the playoffs anyway. I mean, obviously there's going to

524
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 13: be an OC decision after this year. Although the situation

525
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 13: they have now with Mike Sullivan has worked out really well,

526
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 13: and certainly they're going to have to figure out the

527
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 13: quarterback situation because even when Kenny Pickett was healthy, the

528
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 13: offense was sputtering.

529
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 12: They were not going downfield.

530
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 13: George Pickens was unhappy, a lot of offensive players were unhappy.

531
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 13: That I think has also been a key difference since

532
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 13: they went to Mason Rudolph, who.

533
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 12: I don't think anybody really views as the long term answer.

534
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 12: But the thing he's brought to them is because he.

535
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 13: Has gotten so many members of the offense involving, especially

536
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 13: playmakers like George Pickens right like they believe in him

537
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 13: and they're playing for him.

538
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 12: Last week, they also got the running game going finally, right.

539
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 13: Naji Harris finally looked like the Naji Harris we thought

540
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 13: they were drafting. So everything is starting to click for

541
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 13: the offense now, but they've got big picture decisions to

542
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 13: make in this offseason. Again, I'm not sure anybody really

543
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 13: views Mason Rudolph as the long term answer.

544
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 12: He's done a terrific job here.

545
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 13: And he may get them into the playoffs, but they'll

546
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 13: they'll have to, you know, figure out the offensive coordinator situation.

547
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 13: Perhaps they stay with what they've got right now, which

548
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 13: seems to be working, and certainly they're going to have

549
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 13: to figure out the starting quarterback.

550
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 2: I was going to say that, you know, the way

551
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin thinks about his coaching staff and members of it,

552
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: when he looks at this little run that Mike Sullivan's

553
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: on running this offense, does he go maybe the spot

554
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: has already been filled by what has happened the last

555
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Judy, thank you for joining us. We're

00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 9: JA.

608
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: Okay, but I'm not matching that by any stretch. And listen,

609
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: we've heard the locker room speech. There you guys earned

610
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: this second season. You're locked into the five seed. You

611
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: got eleven wins, So I'm gonna say the regular season, even.

612
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: Though you got one more, is kind of in the

613
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 3: rearview mirror.

614
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: With everything you guys have been through this season, four

615
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: quarterbacks to get the eleven wins.

616
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: How do you describe this regular season? Is it insane? Bomkers?

617
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: What's the word that comes to mind when you look

618
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: at what you guys were able to do this year.

619
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 10: I wouldn't necessarily give it a specific word, but I

620
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 10: would go back to that video thats just showed and

621
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 10: they're in the bottom right corner.

622
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 7: You saw the special Teams coach. You had a humbino.

623
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 7: This is the special State coach.

624
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 10: And that is just a part of the coach and

625
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 10: just being able to, you know, see guys express themselves.

626
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 10: Coaches really clinging off to the players, holding the standard,

627
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 10: holding that ideaologies that you said ever since the offseason

628
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 10: and maintained that day in and day out.

629
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: Well, we also heard, you know, your coach, Kevin Sefanski

630
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 4: say that win was an eye got your back, But

631
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 4: it seems like this season has been an I got

632
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: your back? What about the character you're in your third

633
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 4: season there? What about the character you guys have built

634
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 4: to get you to this point as to where you're

635
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: now the fifth seed in the playoffs.

636
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

637
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 10: Well, you know, coach Swartz has a lot of time,

638
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 10: so you know, we come in and you know, he

639
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 10: says to us, Hey, look, you know, I know we've

640
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 10: been to a lot of challenges, but you know, it's

641
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 10: the teams that have been through those challenges that pill

642
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 10: you know, uh as to be simple, you know, it's

643
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 10: the teams that have been through you know, maybe a

644
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 10: quarterback in two or a D lineman and two or

645
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 10: some lineback. You know, I think it's those teams that

646
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 10: have seen these different situations that.

647
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 7: Really have that age.

648
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 10: But again, those teams can't do that unless they build

649
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 10: a culture of disciplined perseverance and resistance. Really, I mean,

650
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 10: I think that that really, you know, compiles exactly what

651
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 10: you see here the cleveand Browns organization.

652
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 7: As continue on to ourselves.

653
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: And you could say, Jeremiah, that's your defense what you

654
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 2: just said, and what's your culture that Jim Schwartz has

655
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: created with your group on that defensive side of the ball.

656
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: You could ask Steve since the beginning of the year,

657
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: before the year started, I've been saying Jim Schwartz was

658
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: the biggest offseason acquisition in the NFL.

659
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: What has he done with you?

660
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: Specifically the way that you have played this year and

661
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: they that you have excelled, but also the way this.

662
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 3: Defense has maybe grown from the beginning of the year.

663
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: What Jim's doing with you guys, So maybe now heading

664
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: into the postseason, how many different looks you can give

665
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: out of this and it's specifically what you've been able

666
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: to do thriving in this defense.

667
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

668
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 10: I always say, you know, just taking the audit and

669
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 10: taking the evaluation of you know what great leaders are.

670
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 10: Great leaders are people that have the best you know,

671
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 10: you know, so called scheme or a so called plan.

672
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 10: But I think that the best leaders of those who

673
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 10: understand the players, understand the Warriors and understanding the personalities

674
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 10: that they have around them and being able to put

675
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 10: them in the right places something special.

676
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 7: I think that coach Swarts does a.

677
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 10: Great job in putting us on specifically needs, specifically those

678
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 10: players that have been that force warts, which is really everyone.

679
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 10: You know, he does a great job allowing us to

680
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 10: express our sales in our strengths, and I really I

681
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 10: think that that's the tim.

682
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's really shown over with you too.

683
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 4: I mean more than one hundred tackles for the first

684
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 4: time in your career. You've got your first two picks

685
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 4: this season, and so he's allowed you to really show

686
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 4: how dynamic of a player that you can be. We've

687
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 4: got to talk about also the big story with the Browns,

688
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 4: and that's Joe Flacco. When he came into building and

689
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 4: you're like, we're getting Joe Flacco, Like what was the

690
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 4: what was the original response of the guys in the

691
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 4: locker room? And now that he has done what he's done,

692
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 4: becomes such a darling in that city. How have you

693
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: guys embraced him? And how has he embraced you?

694
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 7: You know, Joel beat match.

695
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 5: Yeah that's true, but.

696
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 7: Uh that was the last minute.

697
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 10: Uh it's been a great man, great asset was allowing

698
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 10: us to really do what we playing in the off season.

699
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 7: It's tough to come in right away and do what

700
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 7: he's just done.

701
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 10: U for a team, not just the team with an

702
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 10: organization not just an organization before a city man. These

703
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 10: fans have been waiting to uh see the city propel

704
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 10: hisself football wise, and you know we are making those

705
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 10: steps towards them.

706
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 7: Joe was a big part of that.

707
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 10: He he has a great experience and is able to

708
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 10: put everybody in the right positions and discontrol of being

709
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 10: the English most Jeremy, I.

710
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: Think I think Joe's gonna be able to throw football

711
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: like he does right now until he's about seventy five

712
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: years old.

713
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: That's just the way he throws it. It's incredible. He's

714
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: got an unreal arm and it's nuts right, it's crazy.

715
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the guy that your head coach,

716
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski, has been really in his press conferences. He's

717
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: been saying it to the media that Miles Garrett deserves

718
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: to be the defensive player of the Year, and he's

719
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: been going out there saying it public. Because of the

720
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: attention he gets, maybe some of the stats aren't where

721
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: they should be. I'm curious how you and other players

722
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: and Jim Schwartz with this scheme use the attention that

723
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: Miles gets to your advantage.

724
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: How do you guys do that?

725
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 10: I mean he's already he's already an advantage. I think

726
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 10: that teams getting interesting and rightfull, you do. I mean,

727
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 10: you can take a look at these clips right here

728
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 10: and just watch him dominate, whether it's one, whether it's two,

729
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 10: whether it's street players, and sometimes they may slide, oh,

730
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 10: you know, depending know what the plan is to stop him.

731
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 7: But he's a very versatile player. He sets the tone.

732
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 10: I think every team needs that tone center, every team

733
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 10: needs that, you know, one that set the tone also

734
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 10: to finish out.

735
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 7: So he speaks of that totality and needed for us.

736
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 10: And you know, I'm looking forward to seeing him progressing

737
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 10: it as much as possible as to get into the pails.

738
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,640

Speaker 3: Whatever team comes out of there, are they gonna be

749
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 3: dangerous in the postseason. Baldy's gonna break it down next.

750
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the NFL Report, James Palmer, Steve Whitch

Speaker 12: I like that.

756
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 8: We we spent our time over the Islands doing a

757
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 8: number of different events for the Polynesian community, so it's

758
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 8: it's close to.

759
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: Our heart man.

760
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, perfect spot for that patch to be. And

Speaker 2: listen to anybody who's listening or watching. We got this

762
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: segment started late because these two were going at it

763
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: about Polynesian coaches, everybody.

764
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 5: In the NFL going on and on.

765
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 3: It was great. But listen, let's start this segment off,

766
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: Baldy with you.

767
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 2: Still believe the Miami Dolphins are the most dangerous team

768
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: in the AFC right now, even after that game against

769
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: the Ravens.

770
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 5: Why.

771
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 3: I want to know why?

772
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 8: Because speed speed, James, Because if they put their four

773
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 8: by one meter relay together, healthy like really healthy with Tyrate,

774
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 8: Jalen Raheem and Devon Chan.

775
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: If you put those four guys on the field, they

776
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: changed the game.

777
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 8: And all of a sudden, they go from a team

778
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 8: that can struggle, you know, like a lot of other teams,

779
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 8: to a team that can explode on you.

780
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: And they can turn it into a track meet.

781
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 8: And you know, even you know Devon was healthy last week,

782
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 8: like Babo had a hard time tackling him.

783
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 1: He got explosive plays for both the past the game.

784
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 8: I just think if you put that all together, along

785
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 8: with Toront Armstead and two of plays the way he's

786
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 8: capable of playing, they can put up thirty on anybody.

787
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 8: And you know how teams played in the postseason James

788
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 8: sometimes they play it pretty close to the best. Nothing

789
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 8: about Miami will play it close to the best. Fourth downs,

790
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 8: you know, fourth and one, we're taking a shot down

791
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 8: the field. We've seen plenty of examples over the last

792
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 8: two years with Mike mcdangil that they can play this.

793
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: Thing on a track field, like literally on it as

794
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: a track meet.

795
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 8: And that might give some teams problems, including Baltimore, if

796
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 8: they play it like that.

797
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 4: Well, the thing is the track needs to be at

798
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 4: hard Rock Stadium down in South Florida, Baldy because they

799
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 4: need to win this game against Buffalo, so they're not

800
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 4: making this track run all the.

801
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 5: Way, you know, on the road. But I want to

802
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 5: get something too, because we talked about.

803
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 4: Playing week team. We have to finish this out, and

804
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 4: you have so many teams who are all all of

805
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 4: a sudden like, all right, we're taking the powder, We're

806
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 4: sitting our guys. We know the competitive edge versus safety

807
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 4: getting into the playoffs. What about those decisions and what

808
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 4: might be some teams that are taking the safe routes

809
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 4: that can actually impact their playoffs seating.

810
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: Well, take the Rams for example.

811
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 8: I mean, Stafford's not playing, so Carson Wentz is going

812
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 8: to start, and who knows who else Aaron Donald, I

813
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 8: don't know, but we know we know Stafford's out, Wentz

814
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 8: is in. They could change their seating, they can improve

815
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 8: their seating, But I don't think it matters to Sean McVay,

816
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 8: like he wants to make sure wherever he has to

817
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 8: go a wild card weekend, we're going with the healthiest

818
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 8: group we can get. We know that Stafford, you know,

819
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 8: has been nicked up at various times we know that,

820
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 8: you know, the elbow has bothered them at times, you

821
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 8: give him the golden right arm and a healthy corps

822
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 8: Cooper Nicoua, DeMarcus Robinson, whatever.

823
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: Like they could go play anybody and beat anybody. I

824
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 1: think health is sometimes it's just more important than seedings

825
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: or who you play or where you play.

826
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 8: Because really, to the Rams, use them as example, but

827
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 8: it could be other teams as well. Like to me,

828
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 8: the Rams, they don't care who they play or where

829
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 8: they play. They feel like they could beat anybody. The

830
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 8: way the offensive line Tyrone, Stafford Nkoua, the way those

831
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 8: young kids on defense, you know, Kobe and Byron, those

832
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 8: guys have stepped up.

833
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: They feel like they could take their game anywhere and

834
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: beat anybody.

835
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 4: And to your point, Baldy, if they finished sixth, with

836
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 4: the sixth seed where they are right now, they're going

837
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 4: to Detroit. But if they lose, they're the evan to seed,

838
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 4: which means they're going either to Philly or to Dallas.

839
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 5: And frankly, again that's Sean Vacion. We could care less.

840
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 5: We don't care.

841
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 4: We're going on the road regardless if it's cold. Our

842
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 4: team is better healthier than any team we could face.

843
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 8: And you know, look, look, you know five weeks ago

844
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 8: they went to Baltimore. You know they went across the

845
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 8: country against a couple of defense and put up thirty one.

846
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 8: It looked good. So you know they got to go

847
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 8: to Dallas, They got to go to Philly. I don't

848
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 8: think Sean McVay, Kimbs I think this. I think those

849
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 8: Eagle fans would be scared to death if the Rams

850
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 8: are coming to town.

851
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: You have to love that mentality going into the postseason,

852
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: right your head coach just doesn't care where you play

853
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: a game, the confidence that he has in your group

854
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 2: with the way you're playing right now. And we know

855
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: a head coach has a lot of confidence in his

856
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 2: group and he's focused on that side of the ball.

857
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: And that's Jamiko Ryans and his group on the on

858
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. With the Houston Texans.

859
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: What have you seen from that group of as you

860
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: sent us castaways. There's guys like you know, Kareem Jackson

861
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 2: that's back in Houston down there playing the safety spot.

862
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 2: They've had some injuries on that side of the ball

863
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: to some key guys getting after the past. Brother Jonathan

864
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: Grenard goes down. Will Anderson's in battling an injury. What

865
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: do you even see from that group?

866
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 8: So the castaways include but not you know, exempt from

867
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 8: Denzel Perrimant, Jerry Hughes, Sheldon Rankins, right, Steve Nelson, like

868
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 8: you can just go through Blake Cashman, like you just

869
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 8: go They just picked up Tighter Tart who got released

870
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 8: by Tennessee. Oh by the way, you know, I mean

871
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 8: he's he's a good football player now and Demiko takes

872
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 8: all these guys. Now, look they Jalb Petrie and Eric

873
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 8: Stingley and you know, and Will Anderson Like yes, they've

874
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 8: all drafted those guys and they're really good young players.

875
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 8: But man, has Demiko molded this group. It was interesting

876
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 8: because last week I went from watching the Eagles on defense,

877
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 8: which was dreadful, and I was throwing things at my

878
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 8: screen about getting off block. Watch Amiko's group last week

879
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 8: play defense, and I'm like, just like that changed, and

880
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 8: I was like watching Dimiko's group and I'm like, wait

881
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 8: a second, this is how Philadelphia needs to play.

882
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: They're not playing like this.

883
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 8: But it was full metal jacket and it was impressive,

884
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 8: Like they got to Tannehill, they knocked Will Levis out.

885
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean they made life difficult.

886
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 8: They've been at the top of the charts the last

887
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 8: four weeks against the run, Derek Henry kny Yarn, against

888
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 8: that defense. It has really been impressive to watch them play.

889
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 8: Oh oh, by the way, you know, Dez King is

890
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 8: one of those castaways. Been on a number of teams,

891
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 8: Like all these guys can play, and they'd been given

892
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 8: a chance. He's been released on one to go start

893
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 8: an im back game.

894
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 4: Boy, Baldi, the full metal Jack of Reference now has

895
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 4: me thinking about Pile, has me thinking about Joker, has

896
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 4: me just think about all the characters in that fantastic

897
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 4: classic of a movie. But Bald, Okay, we've seen the

898
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 4: Steelers offense the past couple of weeks improve now. Mason

899
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 4: Rudolph has been good, but there's a other components that

900
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 4: have helped him function well as well.

901
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 8: Right their number one priority in the off season, Steve

902
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 8: was to fix the offensive line, so they went to

903
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 8: sign Isaac Caamalo. The Eagles wish they still had him.

904
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 8: I think he's played every snap this year. He solidified

905
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 8: the left guard position. He's made Dan Connor better. They

906
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 8: drafted Roder Jones I'm sure the Jets would love just

907
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 8: to have drafted him. They jumped in front of the Jets.

908
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 8: And it's interesting because brod Jones didn't start right away.

909
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 8: He played a little left tackle, found a spot at

910
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,959
Speaker 8: right tackle, didn't play some of these young guys right away.

911
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 8: But they have fixed their offense line. Darnelle Washington in

912
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 8: the blocking part of the game right now, the big

913
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 8: tight end out of Georgia, like they fix their offense line.

914
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 8: When you watch Nogi Now and Jalen Warren, it's a

915
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 8: legit one two punch that they're gonna take to Baltimore

916
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 8: this weekend.

917
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: And it has showed up now pretty much every week

918
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: for six straight weeks.

919
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 8: And then look the reason why Mason has had time

920
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 8: to get the ball down the field to George Pickens

921
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 8: and the Deontay is they've given.

922
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: Him a little extra time up front. Yeah, protected him.

923
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: We know Mason's not gonn run away from a lot

924
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: of people.

925
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 8: He's got to be able to stand there five yards

926
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 8: behind the center and be able to make these throws.

927
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: And he's gotten the time to do that right now.

928
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: I go back to watching them in Camp Baldy and

929
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: watching Broderick Jones just standing there a few feet from it,

930
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 2: and Mike Tomin just putting TJ. Watt against him, putting

931
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 2: Alex high Smith against him, just rep after rep after rep,

932
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 2: trying to get him ready as quickly as possible to

933
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 2: play a role. And now you're seeing it down the stretch,

934
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 2: we're seeing growth from the Chicago Bears, Baldy, not just

935
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: on this defensive side of the ball, which on this

936
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 2: show you've broken down a couple of times how well

937
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 2: they're playing as a defensive unit, but almost all around

938
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 2: they seem like a bit a different team. And now

939
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 2: going into week eighteen, this is not going to be

940
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: a layup by any stretch of the imagination for the

941
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 2: Packers wins this season.

942
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 8: It won't surprise me to see the Bears go to

943
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 8: Green Bay and not come out of the playoffs. I mean,

944
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 8: this is the playoff exactly, This is exactly. I mean,

945
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 8: you know, I remember eber Pulis maybe week six, week seven,

946
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 8: saying it's not showing.

947
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: Up in the wins, but we're getting better. I'm like,

948
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's got to show up in the wins.

949
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: You got it.

950
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 8: You can't let Detroit come back from twelve downs six

951
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 8: minutes ago and lose and say you're getting better. Montes

952
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 8: sweats made a difference. Jalen Johnston is a Pro Bowl player.

953
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 8: Eddie Jackson right now, Jakwan Brisker are good safety tangent.

954
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 8: The decision to go after TJ Edwards and Tremaine Edmonds

955
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 8: looks good. The development of Dexter and some of these

956
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 8: young guys up front. But the biggest thing to me,

957
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 8: and I think they have fixed the offensive line finally,

958
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 8: they're really under their way. But to me, the biggest

959
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 8: difference is they can win in a variety of ways,

960
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 8: Like they can light up and I formation and knock

961
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 8: you off the ball, and they don't need the toush push.

962
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 8: Khalil Herbert could go get you two yards in a

963
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 8: touchdown like you did last week. They can spread you

964
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 8: out and let justin fields read. They can they can

965
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 8: move justin and do Halffield stuff with Polka meat and

966
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 8: DJ Moore and some of that stuff. They could They

967
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 8: could strike deep down the field like you did right

968
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 8: here to DJ. They could play in the snow like

969
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 8: they did last week. I've seen the team right now

970
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 8: that has evolved into Okay, what do we gotta do?

971
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: To win today.

972
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 8: Oh, we have that ability to do that. You need

973
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 8: a four minute draw at the end of the game

974
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 8: to win it. I think they have that now and

975
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 8: and and along the way. This kid, Justin Fields, just

976
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 8: keeps getting better and better. And whatever they decide to

977
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 8: do with Justin Fields, his stock if he goes to

978
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 8: Green Bay and wins, like those first round picks and

979
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 8: then some that will be tacked onto you want Justin Fields.

980
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 8: His his his stock is only rising. And it's I

981
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 8: don't want to hear anybody tell me he can't read

982
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 8: the defense.

983
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: He can't.

984
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 8: That guy has improved. He's a legitimate big time thrower

985
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 8: right now. And it's it's been fun to watch because

986
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 8: it's it's sort of been up against him. But I

987
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 8: think this whole thing has come together.

988
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 7: It might be my It's.

989
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: Easy one of my two or three favorite games the

990
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: whole week to watch, you know when we get to film.

991
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well I love a Baldi I mean the Bears.

992
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 4: Again, this is one of those things if you're an owner,

993
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 4: you have to say to yourself, I like where this

994
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 4: is headed.

995
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 5: But again, they've got some decisions to make.

996
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,279

1031
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 4: quick as you go in to week eighteen, I want

1032
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 4: to hit you. I know we call thisse lost headlines,

1033
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 4: but this is the life comes at You fast segment

1034
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 4: because this weekend the forty nine ers and the Rams

1035
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 4: they finish things out playing their backups, but this will

1036
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 4: feature the former number three overall pick Sam Darnold versus

1037
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 4: the number two overall pick Carson Wentz, and a battle

1038
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 4: of quarterbacks who didn't quite live up to their potential

1039
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 4: but could prove valuable should there be an injury in

1040
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 4: the postseason.

1041
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 2: JP fascinating how quickly things move, Steve, as well as

1042
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't know anyone around the country is talking about

1043
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 2: a repeat with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs,

1044
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: and I find that fascinating. That's how quickly things have

1045
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 2: changed in Kansas City with the way the offense is operating.

1046
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 2: But this is still one of the best defenses in

1047
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: all of football. Could they find a way in the postseason.

1048
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 2: If anybody could do it, I would say it would

1049
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: be Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes to flip a switch

1050
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 2: come the postseason and turn things around offensively.

1051
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 3: Just fascinating.

1052
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: But at the same time, Steve, we are going to

1053
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: see Patrick Mahomes play on the road for the first

1054
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: time in the postseason. Most likely he has never done that.

1055
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 2: It is a new season here for the Kansas City Chiefs.

1056
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 3: Fascinating for both of us. I'll see you guys late night.

1057
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 3: Steve and I on Tuesday's edition of the NFL R
