1
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: Sc l L Sell Sell Sell.

2
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: The Jets stole the show on trade deadline day by

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: shipping two of their best players out of town and

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: landing several first round picks in return. We will break

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: down how it all went down, as well as all

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: the other deals on a wild deadline day. The forty

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: nine Ers might have been in the trademarket for a

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: new middle linebacker to replace Fred Water, They've already found

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: a pretty good backer in house. Tata Mathoone joins the

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: show tonight to talk about breaking records and holding it

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: down for the six.

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: And three niners.

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 2: It is crunch time in your fantasy league, and if

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: you're like me, you didn't realize your kicker, tight end,

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: and two flex players are all out of buy this week.

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: Never fear, Michael left Florio is here to help you

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: and me hopefully find some waiver wire winners. Welcome inside

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: with the Insiders presented by Progressive Insurance. We're still here

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garrifolo. I am Tom Pelisero.

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: The trade deadline finally is in the rearview mirror, and

21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: so is flor Park, New Jersey. For a couple of

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: the Jets Stars. We'll start out with the true stunner

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: of the day. Sauce Gardner, just a few months after

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: signing a monster contract extension, traded today to the Colts

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: in exchange for first round picks in the next two drafts,

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: as well as wide receiver ad Mitchell. Sauce kind of

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: broke the news himself with a post on social media

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: earlier today say in New York, it's been real. I

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: mentioned Sauce breaking the news because Ian claimed if I

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 2: did that on the show, he'd walk off the sets.

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: Stay tuned to find out if he actually did. Ian

32
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: brought it home. With the deal, Sauce headed to Indy. Meanwhile,

33
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: Quittin Williams said to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: first and second round picks and a former first round

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: pick in defensive tackle Mazie Smith, all of which left

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Brece Hall at one point wondering about his own future.

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: He did not get traded, and leaders saying sick about

38
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: my brothers. Man happy for them, but man, I'm sick

39
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: right now. Help on the way over the next couple

40
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: of years. Potentially, if the Jets can nail at least

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: some of these picks, look at what they are working

42
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: with over the next two drafts. Two first round picks

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, three first round picks in twenty

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Ian I know that it was actually a priority.

45
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: The Jets wanted the extra first round pick in the

46
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven draft, which is regarded as a stronger

47
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: class overall, potentially stronger for quarterbacks as well. We'll see

48
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: they still got to pick the right players, but certainly

49
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: Darren Boogie in that new regime in New York added

50
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: a lot of flexibility and a lot of resources to

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: flip that roster.

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, they certainly did so much that went into these trades,

53
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: and really, I would say a pretty crazy forty eight

54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: hours for the Jets. You want to focus in on

55
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: Darren Muji for a second, I mean trading Sauce Gardner,

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: trading quinnn Williams impressive enough to get the kind of

57
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: haul that he did. What he really did is had

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: to show the other general managers that he was willing

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: to not deal them. Everything he did publicly, everything he

60
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: did privately was show them, if you don't want to

61
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: pay up, I am simply not going to trade these guys.

62
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: And basically what he did was gather up a market,

63
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: drive the price up, wait till it was absolutely at

64
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: its peak, and then trade some of his best players

65
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: in a way that will allow them.

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: To completely rebuild their franchise.

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: Yes, the Indianapolis Colts went all in on Sauce Gardner,

68
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: deciding that Daniel Jones is their quarterback.

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: Yes, the Dallas Cowboys proved.

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: Once again they care a lot a lot about the

71
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: interior defensive line, just like they care a lot about

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: the offensive line. But really, what the Jets did is

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: show everyone we are not there and we have to

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: get a quarterback. They set themselves up to get a quarterback.

75
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: It was an unbelievable day in New York. Now, the

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: season's going to be tough, but it was an unbelievable

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: day in New York.

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: There's a screenshot of ian breaking the news of Sauce

79
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: Gardner going to the Colts. The Colts, now, by the way,

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I was on the field pregame and back

81
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: in August for a preseason game talking to lou Anarroumo,

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: the defensive coordinator, who was asking what's going to happen

83
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: around the league with some of the cornerbacks that might

84
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: come free at Cuts Final Cuts, and that was back

85
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: in August, September, October. Finally, in November, after they had

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 4: the likes of Xavian Howard in and tried some other guys,

87
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: they get themselves a legitimate, top flight Pro Bowl cornerback

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: in Sauce Gardner to go alongside Shavarius Ward on the

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: other side, guys that can lock up with receivers. That

90
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 4: allows Ana Roumo to do what he has done in

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: the past, which is be multiple on the back end.

92
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes when he would face the Bengals repeatedly with

93
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: express his frustration with the fact that lou Aniromo was

94
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 4: really good about showing him something the entire game and

95
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: then throwing a curve ball when it mattered late in

96
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter.

97
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: He can now do a little bit more of that.

98
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: When you can rely on cornerbacks to play that aggressive

99
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: man coverage like Sauce Gardner is going to be able to.

100
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: As for the.

101
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: Jets, Darren Muji did speak to the media. He said,

102
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: this is not a tear down. They're trying to stay

103
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: competitive this year. Look, this is not going to make

104
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: them any more competitive this year. This is going to

105
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: make them less competitive. But for the long haul, he's

106
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: got himself some trade capital. You've got it, You've got

107
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: a cap It's like anybody can take the reservation. Tom

108
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: the key is holding the reservation. It's another side Beelt reference.

109
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 5: For you with sauce Gardner too.

110
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: The Colts were heavy in the cornerback market over the

111
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: last several days.

112
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 5: They knew they needed to upgrade the position.

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: My understanding was they had other options, but they didn't

114
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: feel like they could.

115
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 5: Find a difference maker.

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard this morning pushed this thing really hard, ultimately

117
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: got it done.

118
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 5: With the Jets.

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: And by the way, you mentioned Mike the Leu Narubo,

120
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: what he's getting for his scheme. The two most important

121
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: things for Matt Eberflus's scheme in Dallas running that sort

122
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: of variation of the old Tampa two. It's the three

123
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: technique defensive tackle. It is a Mike linebacker. The fact

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: that they picked up Quinn Williams as well as Logan Wilson.

125
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: That makes a huge difference.

126
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: We'll see how quickly they can integrate all that and

127
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: turn around what has been one of the NFL's worst units.

128
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: Great news for sauce Gardner. He gets to go back

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: to Europe's news off game on the NFL takes the

130
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: field in Berlin for the first time as the Falcons

131
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: square off against the Colts in a historic early morning showdown.

132
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: So get ready to wake up and watch, because here

133
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: our stars come out in the morning. It is Sunday

Speaker 2: Morning Football Sunday nine thirty m Eastern only on NFL

Speaker 2: Plus visit Plus dot NFL dot com for terms mentioned already.

137
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: The Cowboys making multiple deals, including Addie linebacker Logan Wilson.

138
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: As Ian did break early this morning a twenty twenty

139
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: six to seventh round pick going to the Bengals in

140
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: exchange for Wilson, who had recently requested a trade after

141
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: losing out in his role in Cincinnati. Was not that

142
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: long ago, a few months ago that Al Golden was

143
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: talking about building the defense around Logan Wilson. It obviously

144
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: didn't end nobody that anybody wanted there. So now a

145
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: defensive captain in Cincinnati, Mike becomes a huge part of

146
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: what they intend to do moving forward in Dallas.

147
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, up there in Seattle, they say the trade deadline

148
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: isn't just about attacking the weaknesses on your own roster.

149
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's making the strength strengths even stronger. That's what

150
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: the Seahawks did Rashid Shaheed, whom the Saints had wanted

151
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: a third round pick for. In the end, they get

152
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 4: a four and a five. It sort of adds up

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 4: to that third if you look at it that way.

154
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: But the Seahawks didn't have to part with a Day

155
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: two pick for a guy that knows offensive coordinator Klink

156
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: Kubiak of the adjustment there to this game will be immediate.

157
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: He takes the top off of defenses, He makes clutch plays.

158
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: He'll also be a part of the return game as

159
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: far as I'm concerned. So the Seahawks say, as good

160
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: as our offense looked, and as good as Sam.

161
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: Dard to look, gonna look even better now with a

162
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: deep threat in Shaheat.

163
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they certainly have established themselves as one of the

164
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: teams to be, which is exactly where the Jacksonville Jaguars

165
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: want to be. They made a little step toward that

166
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: today acquiring Jacoby Myers from.

167
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: The Las Vegas Raiders.

168
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: This has been quite a saga we reported in training

169
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 3: gave Jacoby Myers asked to be traded. The Raiders said no,

170
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: and then the product they saw in the field was

171
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: just not good. They could tell he did not want

172
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: to be their body language play the whole deal. There

173
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: was a lot of discussions in the end. The Jacksonville Jaguars,

174
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: losing Travis Hunter for four weeks at least, helped push

175
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: this across. They end up trading for Jacoby Myers, another

176
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 3: weapon for Trevor Lawrence, and then right at the buzzer,

177
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: right before the deadline, the Los Angeles Chargers to it.

178
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: But in the market for an.

179
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 3: Offensive lineman either a starter hard to come by, nearly impossible,

180
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: or more likely some depth, they trade for Trevor Penning,

181
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 3: the former first rounder for the New Orleans Saints, has

182
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: played tackle, has played guard, ends up going for a

183
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 3: sixth rounder in twenty twenty seven, just a little more

184
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: depth for Harbo's team.

185
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: Ten trades in all got finalized on the final day

186
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: to make them prior to mid March when the trade

187
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: window opens up once again. That includes a few other

188
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: deals for defensive players. Draymont jones Ian broke that one

189
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: last night, headed to the Ravens from the Titans, the

190
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: Bears had some pastros help, as did the Eagles over

191
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: the weekend, and then the Chargers as only the Chargers do,

192
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: like an hour after the deadline announced that they squeezed

193
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: one more in sending a cornerback to the Jets. We

194
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: also knew that there were a lot of other discussions

195
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 2: going on. We spent a great deal of time talking

196
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: about a variety of deals for players who potentially could

197
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: be on the move. There were some real ones like

198
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: j Waddell and Trey Hendrickson that drew interest. There were

199
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: some that were stirred up by nonsense Internet rumors, like

200
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: all the teams that are trading for Bradley Chubb and

201
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: he didn't end up getting traded. Here, Mike, what stood

202
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: out to you in terms of some of those guys

203
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: who ended up staying put.

204
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: I'll start with Brece Hall from the Jets, because once

205
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: we saw this, I know Muji wasn't Darrin Mugie wasn't

206
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: liking the idea of a tear down phrasing for that one.

207
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: But once you see that happening, you're like, well, clearly

208
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: they're going to move on from Brice Hall, who has

209
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: made it clear he's wanted a trade, going to be

210
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: a free.

211
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: Agent after the season.

212
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: I don't think at this point he'll be back with

213
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: the Jets, sort of a franchise tag. I did have

214
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 4: somebody say, how about Breece Hall's last play as a

215
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 4: Jet is going to be a half back pass? Who

216
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: would have thought that not going to wind up being

217
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: the case. The Jets still want Breese Hall to contribute

218
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: for them down the stretch, and he will, but again,

219
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 4: going to be a free agent. Would not be surprised

220
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 4: if he's in a different uniform next year, maybe the Chiefs,

221
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 4: maybe a Chiefs uniform with the Chiefs did have talks

222
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: with the Jets, just weren't.

223
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Willing to meet the asking price.

224
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: I would imagine there'll be a bunch of teams interested

225
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 3: in Bristol, just like there'll be a bunch of tams

226
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: interested in Jalen Waddle this offseason. You mentioned Darren Mujie

227
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: now wanting to tear it down. I got the sense

228
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins were kind of in that same mode. Obviously,

229
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 3: they did trade Jalen Phillips to the Eagles, but they

230
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: didn't want it to be a fire sale. They didn't

231
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: want the prices to be fire sale prices, right, So

232
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: Jalen Phillips goes and everyone's like, oh cool, we can

233
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: get Bradley Chubb for cheap, we get Jalen Wattle for

234
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 3: less than one. Could not get Bradley Chubb for cheap,

235
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: and could not get Jalen Wattle for less than one.

236
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: They held firm on their prices, knowing by the way,

237
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: Chubb potentially will either redo his deal or leave in

238
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: the offseason, and if they wanted to trade Waddle for

239
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: future picks, they can do it in March and probably

240
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: for the same price. So the Dolphins end up staying

241
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: put in Certainly, Tom, I know you're going to get

242
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: into this, but Trey Hendrickson not going anywhere. Certainly one

243
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: of the bigger stories of the trade deadline.

244
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: And it never seemed as much as the Bengals did

245
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: have communication over the last twenty four hours with other teams,

246
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: it was mostly in the vein of, hey, we're not

247
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: going to eat any of the money. It's still going

248
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: to cost you somewhere in the range of a second

249
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 2: round draft pick, and by the way, we're still kind of.

250
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 5: In it, so we're really not motivated.

251
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: They really would have had to be blown away with

252
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: a trade offer to move on from Trey Hendrickson, even

253
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: though Cincinnati is three and six and just lost two

254
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: games that on paper you'd say these are ones that

255
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: the Bengals should win at home. They're not out of

256
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: it in a division where nobody's really running away with

257
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: this thing.

258
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 5: Now.

259
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: Trey Henderson, remember, has been dealing with an injury, has

260
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: missed the past couple of games.

261
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: We'll see. It's no guarantee that he's back out on the.

262
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 5: Field this week.

263
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: But for as bad as that Bengals defense has been,

264
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: and even though they did trade away Logan Wilson, it

265
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: just didn't seem like they were motivated in any way

266
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: to trade away a player who, by the way, they've

267
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: already paid like twenty six million dollars in this season

268
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: after upgrading his contract during training camp. Here Trey Henderson

269
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: a Bengal at least for the rest of this year.

270
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 6: It would be.

271
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 2: Really costly to franchise tag him after the season. We'll

272
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 2: see exactly though, what direction this goes in Cincinnati for

273
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: one of the most prolific pass rushers over the past

274
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: couple of years.

275
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football before a lot of.

276
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: Things happened today quarterbacks quarterbacks quarterbacks. Kyler Murray is still

277
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 4: out with that foot injury that suddenly seemed to get

278
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 4: worse as soon as Jonathan Gannon made it.

279
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Clear Jacoby Brissett's the starter. Will get to that in

280
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: a second.

281
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 4: Here's Brissette to Maarvin Harrison Junior, Amazing how this happens

282
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: as well, All of a sudden, he's involved and performing

283
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 4: when somebody's getting them the football.

284
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 7: Now.

285
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 4: Trey McBride twelve yard touchdown to make it twenty four

286
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 4: to seven. Jonathan Gannon says, I think I found my

287
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: Quarterback'm gonna wait till tomorrow to tell everybody.

288
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: Late fourth quarter, Cowboys.

289
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: Trailing twenty seven to seventeen, got a chance for a comeback.

290
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: But another mistake in the.

291
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: Other team's territory the story of the night for the Cowboys.

292
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 4: The Cardinals win twenty seven. He is seventeen, Cowboys first

293
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: loss at home on the season. Yeah, and then today

294
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: Cardinals naming Jacoby Brissett their starting quarterback.

295
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: Now.

296
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon said he likes the way the offense is

297
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: performing now while Kyler Murray continues to rehab, but it's

298
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 4: pretty clear what's happening right now.

299
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: It's a hot take.

300
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 4: It's a fresh take, like the fresh takes presented by Chipotle.

301
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: Steve Weis with me.

302
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: Your hot take is that they've turned it over to

303
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 4: Jacoby Brissett. He's just not really gonna say it out right,

304
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: but we know what's happening.

305
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray's healthy.

306
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: He still could be the backup. Yes, we can talk

307
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: about that.

308
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 4: We can talk about the Dallas Cowboys front seven, which

309
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: was not great last night. But you added Quinn Williams

310
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: to the mix, and all of a sudden, maybe this

311
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: defense taken on a different look.

312
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 8: We'll see. I mean again, it wasn't great last night.

313
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 8: A lot of this stuff you see. The first off,

314
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 8: Arizona was getting bodies on them, blocking them all over

315
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 8: the place. The linebacker angles created a bunch of natural

316
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 8: run lanes.

317
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: They over pursued, they under pursued.

318
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 6: It was poor.

319
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 8: But now the trade for quinnin Williams Dallas's third new

320
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 8: defensive line. Remember they traded for Kenny Clark earlier. I

321
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 8: am added Jadebion Clowney. So three of the four starters

322
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: are imported to see if they can help. I mean,

323
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 8: Quinn was we know what he had been right. He

324
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 8: was not having a great year with the Jets. But

325
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 8: we'll see if he can fit in this gap scheme.

326
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 8: But Jerry Jones must think that they have a shot

327
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 8: to win this year even though they're three to five

328
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 8: and one. They've maybe got two losses left in them.

329
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 8: But Quinn Williams, they've got to do something to fix

330
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,119
Speaker 8: this defense. Logan Williams. Logan Wilson comes in from Cincinnati

331
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 8: behind him at mid linebacker. He's probably more so for depth,

332
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 8: but they still have a lot of work to do

333
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 8: because we've seen in the secondary has been getting cooked.

334
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 8: But maybe more pressure and stopping the run can help that. Again,

335
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 8: I don't think it's necessary an immediate fix.

336
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 4: Between Kenny Clark and Quinn Williams. It's not guys that

337
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 4: are in the first act of their career. They're somewhere

338
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: in the middle of the second act. But they still

339
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: feel like they've got good football left. And Jerry Jones

340
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 4: did say, if we're going to make some moves here,

341
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: it's going to be not just about this year. It's

342
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 4: going to be adding pieces for the long hault.

343
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: He got to feel better about that. There's still some

344
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: work that needs to be done.

345
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: They still have some draft capital left over from the

346
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons deal. Ye's still some work to be done,

347
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 4: but some big pieces added, literal big pieces.

348
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: With Quinn Williams added today in.

349
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: The Alwers have some big pieces on their defense. And

350
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: finally finally took aim minute took him minute, took a

351
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: couple of games, but finally the Steelers defense is starting

352
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: to ball a little bit, did so against Indianapolis Colts

353
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: last week.

354
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: We will see if it's going to continue.

355
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: And actually we're just gonna listen to Brian Baldinger right

356
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: here to tell if it's going to tell us if

357
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: it's going to continue. Baldi, you are one of the

358
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: nation's foremost experts in telling us what we are watching

359
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 3: on the football field. What do you say about this

360
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: Steelers defense?

361
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 9: Well, I let it be known, Ian I was there

362
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 9: at the game of on AWSKI for National Radio, and

363
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 9: I let TJ and her Big and high Smith and

364
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 9: those guys know that if you want to be in

365
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 9: Baldi's breakdowns, you better start making some plays. And so

366
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 9: they did. And you know, it really starts up front.

367
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 9: It starts up front with the defensive front. But also

368
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 9: they made changes, a lot of changes Ian Jalen Ramsey,

369
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 9: Kyle Dugart who they traded for last week. They were

370
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 9: the starting safeties. They played nearly every snap. Now, what

371
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 9: that did was it really allowed the corners to lot.

372
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 9: You know, you got Slay and Porter here locking up

373
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 9: on the wide receivers and it forced Daniel Jones to

374
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 9: hold the ball and then he was trying to find somebody,

375
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 9: end up running out of bounds, get hit.

376
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 6: By Joey Porter for a sack right there.

377
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 9: But you know, will you leave TJ Watt one on

378
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 9: one like he is right here with Brayden Smith like

379
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 9: it's just a matter of time before he wins.

380
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 6: And he's going to come off the ball right here,

381
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 6: He's going to throw the hook and then with his.

382
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 9: Left hand he's going to get the ball out of

383
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 9: Daniel Jones' hand, force the fumble, recover the fumble, and

384
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 9: that ignited not just the defense, but the whole team.

385
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 9: And then they started coming after Daniel Jones and this

386
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 9: coach off win six man pressure. In fact, right here

387
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 9: you see high Smith bent and herbig They all win

388
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 9: and then they meet at the quarterback and take down

389
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 9: Daniel Jones and then the different bliz is like, that's

390
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 9: Peyton Wilson, the middle linebacker coming off the edge. He

391
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 9: gets in the passing lane of Daniel Jones, bats the

392
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 9: ball back to his partner Jack Sawyer there for an interception.

393
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 9: Peyton Wilson was a monster in this game. And then

394
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 9: here's those safety sitting back. They've got the lead. Anything

395
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 9: get over their head, and then they're going to come

396
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 9: after Daniel Jones and play a matchup zone here.

397
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 6: Just match up with those receivers.

398
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 9: Make Daniel Jones hold the ball, and then eventually Nick

399
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 9: Herbig gets to it.

400
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 6: And if you look at who's.

401
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 9: On the field right here, get a couple of rookie

402
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 9: defensive tackles Derek harmon Y a Black along with Herbig

403
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 9: and Hei Smith, and they really converge right here on

404
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 9: Daniel Jones.

405
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 6: In fact, her Big is spying right.

406
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 9: Now on Daniel Jones and he gets another fourth bumble.

407
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 6: He's good at that the coult recover.

408
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 9: But still they affected the quarterback throughout the day. And

409
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 9: the question that jask me Ian is can they keep

410
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 9: this up? Well, if they want to keep winning, that's

411
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 9: where it's got to start. It's got to start up

412
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 9: front and then on the back end. I think the

413
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 9: safety play was outstanding. I think Jalen is a good

414
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 9: communicator back there. I think he'd love to play corner,

415
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 9: but I think this best serves the team right now

416
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 9: to play at that position.

417
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure he'd love to play corner.

418
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: I think he's kind of liking the playmaking free safety,

419
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 3: being the guy who makes it all go.

420
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see.

421
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: I know this was a role he actually ied in preseason,

422
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: being like, all right, maybe I can extend my career

423
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 3: playing like this, and we'll see if they're able to

424
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 3: continue it.

425
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: Baldy, thank you very much, great stuff. As always, Tom,

426
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: they look at.

427
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: The AFC NFC playoff pictures at the exact midway point

428
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: in the season. The Steelers are in that mix. Would

429
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 2: currently be the number four seed in the AFC. There

430
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: are some notable teams missing on both sides of this,

431
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: none more so than no Ravens, no Chiefs. If the

432
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: season ended today, which of course it does not, It's

433
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: time now for Jeffrey Jdia and Mark Ross. Jefferys got

434
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: a news story up at NFL dot com. It is

435
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: jeff crystal Ball ten people who will shape the second

436
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: half of the season. Jeffrey, Let's talk about some quarterbacks

437
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: who will play a role in that.

438
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 10: We'll start with Boonix in Denver, Tom they're leading the

439
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 10: AFC West, and he's a very confounding player because right

440
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 10: now is Passion rating his twenty third in the NFL.

441
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 10: That's behind Justin Fields. But this team is writing a

442
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 10: six game win streak. They've got four fourth quarter comebacks

443
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 10: and he's a big part of that. He has a

444
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 10: knack from making plays at critical moments, using his legs

445
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 10: like he did last week to get get his team

446
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 10: in position to win games. And so Mark, I know

447
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 10: bow Knicks is a provocative player, but I like his

448
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 10: ability to shape this team moving forward.

449
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 6: Well.

450
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 11: Talking about a confounding player, Jeffery, I'm gonna go with

451
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 11: your alone there, mister JJ McCarthy, I guess you got no.

452
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Love for your wolverine.

453
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 11: And you know, even though this scene as if this

454
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 11: was the best game he played against the lines, he

455
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 11: made plays when he needed to. He only completed fourteen

456
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 11: passes for one hundred and forty three yards, had two

457
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 11: touchdowns and one interception. So he saw the good and

458
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 11: the bad of JJ, but moving forward with the Vikings

459
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 11: that ultra competitive NFC North, can he continue to make

460
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 11: the plays but also show more consistency and be able

461
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 11: to lean on him to be a playmaker and not

462
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 11: just a spot playmaker to go along with that defense

463
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 11: and JJ and the rest.

464
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: Of the crew.

465
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: That last throw right there that you saw to Jalen Naylor,

466
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 2: that was third down for the game. If that shouldn't

467
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: complete the line, save the time out the Bikings are

468
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: putting it back.

469
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 5: He made some big time throws in that game.

470
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: How about a running back Jeffrey That'll help shape the

471
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: rest of this seat.

472
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 10: Buffalo's James Cooker is making life a lot.

473
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 7: Easier on Josh Allen right now.

474
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 10: And I know Al's back in the MVP race, but

475
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 10: he better give a big thank you to this guy

476
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 10: because he is carrying the load in Buffalo.

477
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: You saw what he meant to them in that game

478
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: against Kansas City.

479
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 10: He's gone over two un of yards two weeks ago,

480
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 10: he controlled the game last week, and he's second in the

481
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 10: league in rushing right now. I think that all this

482
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 10: talk about his contract over the offseason, he's a steal

483
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 10: right now. Mark, He's gonna be a big part of

484
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 10: what Buffalo does in the second half.

485
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 11: Love James Cook as a complimentary piece to Josh Allen,

486
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 11: the perennial MVP. But this guy right here we go

487
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 11: down now has completely transformed this Panthers organization three and

488
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 11: zero when he's the starting running back, He's third in

489
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 11: the NFL now in rushing yards and yards per Carrie.

490
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 11: They scored twenty four points per game when he's the starter,

491
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 11: only sixteen when he is not. And when you just

492
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 11: feed him the ball, he has shown the ability to

493
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 11: just absolutely win games for the Panthers. Their defense was

494
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 11: nasty last week. Bryce Young May plays when he needed to,

495
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 11: so Rico Dowdell will completely dictate how this Panthers team

496
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 11: goes the rest of the season.

497
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: Let's flip it over to the R side of the ball, Jeffrey,

498
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 2: how about on defense? Who is a person who helped

499
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: shape the rest of the season.

500
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 10: Well Mark mentioned my Michigan roots. I'm going to Motown

501
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 10: for this one. Aiden Hutchinson the edge rushing for the Lions.

502
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 10: He's obviously was not around last year, only played five

503
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 10: game with that broken leg, but he is off to

504
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 10: a great start now. He's got seven sacks, but this

505
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 10: team's offense is not doing what he was doing earlier

506
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 10: this year, only sixty five points scored the last three games.

507
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 10: This defense, which has been begged for the secondary, has

508
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 10: got to come through for the Lions. That means Hutchinson's

509
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 10: got to play like a defensive Player.

510
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: Of the Year candidate mark for the rest of the season.

511
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: There's no doubt.

512
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 11: But let's go with a defensive coordinator and that's the

513
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 11: much in battle zach Orr. They were crushing him last

514
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 11: season in the first nine games, last eight games. The

515
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 11: Ravens defense turned around when the best of the NFL

516
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 11: started out once again this season, giving up points like

517
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 11: crazy last in the league, the last three games only

518
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 11: giving up a total of thirty nine points. The Kyle

519
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 11: Hamilton has now moved into a different role there.

520
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 6: With the signing of a low high Gilman.

521
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 11: I love the Draymont Jones signing the trade right now

522
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 11: to add a little bit more pass rush. So we'll

523
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 11: see if zach Orr can continue his trend like last

524
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 11: season where the Ravens defense finished wrong.

525
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: Because we know what Lamar in the offense is going

526
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: to give.

527
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: The full story from Jeffrey NFL dot com slash Chidia.

Speaker 2: of this NFL season? Well, him and all the other

Speaker 4: Him after losing Fred Warner to his likely season ending injury,

546
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,359

547

00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: That's Brian Baldinger.

553
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 12: I'm Judy Batista, and that is Tatum, who had a

554
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 12: huge game against the Giants.

555
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: Lots to celebrate.

556
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 12: You've actually had a bunch of huge games since having

557
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 12: to step in for Fred Warner when Warner went down.

558
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 12: What are the last few weeks been like for you?

559
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 13: I've been living to dream, honestly, been living in dream,

560
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 13: having funds, just making the most of my opportunity and

561
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 13: also just trying to find ways for this team to

562
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 13: continue to get wins and play at a high standard.

563
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 6: You know, Tatum.

564
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 9: Fred Warner could quite possibly been my favorite player to

565
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 9: study in this league, just the way that he played

566
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 9: just I mean, just all out all the time.

567
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,239
Speaker 6: But when I watch it, it's pretty good imitation of

568
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 6: what Fred played.

569
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 7: Like.

570
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 6: Has Fred talk to you at all? Is he is?

571
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 9: He complimented your of You had a chance to sit

572
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 9: down with him since you took over forming that game

573
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 9: against Tampa.

574
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's since that game since Tempa.

575
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 13: I text Fred after every game just to see what

576
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 13: he thought about our performance and also my performance, and

577
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 13: he loved it every week, and obviously it's things that

578
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 13: I got to get better at, just being the mic

579
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 13: line back there and having communication, but just playing hard.

580
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 13: I just being able to see I thought I played

581
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 13: hard in college man, and then I got here and

582
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 13: I've seen the way Fred and Dre and Dee Winner's

583
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 13: played and I was like, yeah, I got to step

584
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 13: my game up. So just being around him and just

585
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 13: having a year with them, and now I get my opportunity.

586
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 13: I know how things need to look, and I'm just

587
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 13: trying to continue just to keep doing that moving forward.

588
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 12: You were the sixth to last player drafted. You worked

589
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 12: your way up. You've got an awful lot of responsibility

590
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 12: on your plate now, as you said, like you've to

591
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 12: do all the communicating with the defense. How have you

592
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 12: gotten yourself into a position to be able to perform

593
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 12: so well in the clutch the team has needed you

594
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 12: since Warner went down? How did you get ready for

595
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 12: this moment?

596
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 13: I feel like I've always been a leader since you football,

597
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 13: always the team captain, since since high school going into college,

598
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 13: I was always a team captain, and now I'm able

599
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 13: to just do it again here. And also it really

600
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 13: just came natural It's just me just building a relationship

601
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 13: with new guys that's on the team and finding ways

602
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 13: where I could find ways for them to get better

603
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 13: and also me and understand how they see things so

604
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 13: we can all be on the same page when the

605
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 13: time comes and we can play fast.

606
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 9: The one thing about playing fast, Tatum, when I watch

607
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 9: you play, is you know where the ball is going,

608
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 9: and then it's just a question of getting off the

609
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 9: block or getting to the spot and beating the running

610
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 9: back or quarterback.

611
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 6: Whoever to the spot. That looks like that's an instinct

612
00:27:58,920 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 6: that you have.

613
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 9: Part of it is this preparation to study no the formation,

614
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 9: know the play, But the other part.

615
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 6: Is just the instinct.

616
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 9: I think that you actually are born with or developed

617
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 9: at Miami or wherever right now. But that's a pretty

618
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 9: strong indicator that you get to the football as quick

619
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 9: as anybody out there on the field.

620
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 7: Appreciate that, right.

621
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 13: I feel like that's one of my blessed guy gave

622
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 13: me is great instincts.

623
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 7: Man.

624
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 13: I always had instincts, always was able to rack up tackles,

625
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 13: and I just feel like what I need to add

626
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 13: to my game is just being able to be more

627
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 13: productive in the ball game and just creating turnovers and

628
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 13: just getting our offense back to the ball.

629
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 7: So we continue just to keep putting our wins.

630
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 12: The forty nine ers have just had a tremendous series

631
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 12: of injuries, and I think with each one we all say, oh,

632
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 12: this is the one that's going to do the maint

633
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 12: and you guys keep going, you keep winning. What are

634
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 12: the conversations like inside the building about sustaining and keeping

635
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 12: going no matter how many injuries pile up.

636
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, Like I said, like this, this San Francisco defense

637
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 13: man Fred and coach Salad, they established a standard that

638
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 13: everybody needs to play with no matter where you are

639
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 13: in the depth chart. So we name your call, we

640
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 13: expect everybody to be prepared. And also me, we all

641
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 13: just got to continue just to just to keep going

642
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 13: and understand that it's not going to be the same

643
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 13: way the guys how Nick Bosa and Fred Warner made plays.

644
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 13: But if we just be us and understand what's going on,

645
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 13: I feel like we could be unstoppable.

646
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: Day.

647
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 9: These games only get bigger. You got the Rams this week.

648
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 9: One of the best plays we saw all year was

649
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 9: Alfred Collins getting the ball out of Kyraen Williams hands

650
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 9: going in for the go ahead touchdown the first time

651
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 9: you played them. But this is a division game, this

652
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 9: is this I know they're all important, but can you

653
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 9: can you not wait to get the preparation for this week,

654
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 9: for this game right now?

655
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm actually very excited for this week.

656
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 13: Man. It's a huge opportunity for this whole team and

657
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 13: our backs against the wall.

658
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 7: But that's it eactly how we wanted.

659
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 13: We didn't want it easy, and we're gonna fight for

660
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 13: every yard and every inch that we can and be

661
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 13: able to get this win.

662
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 7: And continue just to keep striving through the season.

663
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 13: So I'm just ready and I'm excited to see what

664
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 13: the guys got to step up due this week too.

665
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 7: Our preparation is going to be everything.

666
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 12: One more question from us, like how much more do

667
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 12: you think you have to do to your own game?

668
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 12: You're already playing at such a high level, but this

669
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 12: is your first real chance to step in there.

670
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: Where can your game go from here?

671
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 7: Yeah?

672
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 13: Like I said, my ball production, Like, I'm around the

673
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 13: ball a lot, and I just feel like if I'm

674
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 13: going to be around the ball that much, I need

675
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 13: to get it out too, so or at least get

676
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 13: it back to the offense. So now that's where I

677
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 13: feel like I just need to step up. And also

678
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 13: our communication it hasn't been terrible, but I feel like

679
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 13: it could be a lot more better than We could

680
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 13: just be lined up faster, just be able to play

681
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 13: faster too.

682
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 12: Tatum, thank you so much for joining us on the Insiders.

683
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 12: We look forward to watching you the rest of the way.

684
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 7: Appreciate off IV.

685
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, We're gonna be watching him play for many, many years.

686
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 4: Time for good coverage presented by a Progressive. The Rams

687
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 4: have been showing good coverage all season, ranking in the

688
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 4: top ten and six different defensive categories. The Rams have

689
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 4: twelve takeaways, tied for six most in the league, twenty

690
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 4: seven sacks ranks tied for third. Meanwhile, they're second in

691
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: the NFL in both third down percentage and opponent red

692
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 4: zone touchdown percentage. That is good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance.

693
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 4: Steve Weisch here with me now, Mike Carfollo reintroducing myself.

694
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this Rams defense. How do you attack them?

695
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: If you're the San Francisco forty nine.

696
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 8: Well, look, Chris Shula, first off, the Rams defensive coordinate

697
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 8: expected to hear his name. It's some coaching circles after

698
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 8: the season. He's really getting a job done. But if

699
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 8: you're the forty nine, as you attack them like you

700
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 8: always do. That's with number twenty three Christian McCaffrey. Now

701
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 8: we know mac Jones, he is throwing darts all over

702
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 8: the place to whomever is on the field as a receiver. Well,

703
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 8: this guy here has been healthy this year and against

704
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 8: the Rams and actually in their wins this year, he's

705
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 8: getting probably more than twenty five touches a game. He

706
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 8: has been a true bellcal even running the ball. I

707
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 8: mean you've seen games or he's had twenty eight carries

708
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 8: and he's catching the ball six or seven times a game.

709
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 8: So this is partially by design, partially by checkdown with

710
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 8: mac Jones and the.

711
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: Way their offense runs.

712
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 8: But again this is something where Christian McCaffrey is such

713
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 8: a tough matchup, whether it be a linebacker, whether it

714
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 8: be a defensive back. There's no way to really isolate

715
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 8: him with the way they use him. Plus he's such

716
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 8: a powerful runner between the tackles.

717
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: That's something that does.

718
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 6: Not get talked about.

719
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 8: Talk about his affecting this in the outside zone and

720
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 8: things like that. So with the Rams and this aggressive

721
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 8: nature that they have with their front four and front

722
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 8: five when they send people, Caffrey's a guy again that

723
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 8: could be using in the short passing game, but also

724
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 8: on some of the inside power stuff that they like

725
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 8: to do to try to get into some of those

726
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 8: natural gaps that are formed by the RAMS aggression up front.

727
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 4: Last time these two teams play, Kendrick Bourn one hundred

728
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 4: and forty two yard two back to back one hundred

729
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 4: and forty two yard games. Weird that he fill in

730
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 4: that number back to back games, but he was unstoppable,

731
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 4: unstoppable that night. You wonder if you start to see

732
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: because he hasn't had that same production the last couple

733
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 4: of weeks back Jones, if exactly Mac Jones was barely

734
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 4: standing by the end of that game.

735
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: Time now to go inside with NFL Fantasy Live and

736
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: our guy Michael f Florio joining us as he does

737
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: every Tuesday with me, Tom Pilicero as well as Ian Rapport.

738
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: Let's talk waiver wire targets. Everybody's got to put those

739
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: in tonight, including me. I need a lot of stuff

740
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: because I planned really poorly for by ma get In

741
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 2: here in week ten, let's start out with a running

742
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: back target, Florio.

743
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 14: What do you got, yeah, Devin Singletary. Last week I

744
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 14: was talking of Tyrone Tracy, but Singletary actually played fifty

745
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 14: five percent of the snaps. He had more carries and

746
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 14: ran more routes than Tyrone Tracy. And we know that

747
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 14: him and Dable have a hitter together, not just the

748
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 14: last couple of years in New York, but go back

749
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 14: to Buffalo and now this week he gets a favorable

750
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 14: matchup against the Bears, who have struggled against the run.

751
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: They are top four yards per.

752
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 14: Contact yards before contact allowed, so he should have room

753
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 14: to run there.

754
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: I think he is in a.

755
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 14: Flex option here, but the Giant schedule gets a lot

756
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 14: tougher after this week, so I wouldn't go too heavy

757
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 14: on your fab budget or anything like that unless.

758
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: You need to start him this week.

759
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 3: Well, some of us started Tyrol and Tracy last week

760
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 3: and probably still need to go back to the waiver

761
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 3: wire running backs. But let's shift to receiver. Yep, that's

762
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: your foul. Let's shift to receiver. What he got for

763
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 3: us on the waiver wire at the receiver position.

764
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 14: Look Troy Franklin, who has been picked up and dropped

765
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 14: by a number of teams, I'm sure in every league

766
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 14: around the country. But right now he leads the Broncos

767
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 14: and targets air yards and end zone targets on this season.

768
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 14: And I've had a lot of people on Twitter being like, well,

769
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 14: that's because all of his production comes on screens. Well,

770
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 14: the good thing is his coach loves wide receiver screens,

771
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 14: maybe more than anyone in the history.

772
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: Of the NFL.

773
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 14: The floor might not be as safe as something, but

774
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 14: he's had more big games and it's a great matchup

775
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 14: this week against the Raiders. So he is someone you

776
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 14: could pick up and start. And then Alec Pierce. He

777
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 14: had thirteen targets last week, twenty air yards per target

778
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 14: this year, leads the NFL, and in four of his

779
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 14: last six games he has scored double digit Fantasy points.

780
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 14: So that floor is starting to become safer. But he

781
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 14: is always someone you could get in your starting lineup

782
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 14: if you are in a pinch because the ceiling is

783
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 14: so high due to his downfield usage that yeah, maybe

784
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 14: you're looking at like a six to seven point day

785
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 14: if he doesn't hit, But if he does hit, he

786
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 14: might just win you the week.

787
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: All right, how about a tight end? Florio, who am

788
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: I picking up right now on the wire? Don't do that, Ian, Well,

789
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: we don't want to pick up on the wire.

790
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 14: We're not doing I'm anti six to seven now. But

791
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 14: Colson Lovelin is a tight end that you have to

792
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 14: pick up seven not six, seven targets last week's second

793
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 14: most the Bears. He turned that into one hundred and

794
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 14: eighteen yards two touchdowns, including the game winner. That was

795
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 14: all him, and my hope is that this leads to

796
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 14: him remaining as the tight end one and being more

797
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 14: involved for the Bears. Plus favorable matchup this week against

798
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 14: the Giants who've allowed a ton of pass game production.

799
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 14: So he is also someone you could pick up and

800
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 14: start this week. But he's not the only one. This

801
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 14: is a great week of streaming tight ends. There's some

802
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 14: running backs and wide receivers there for you, but if

803
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 14: you need some streaming tight ends, this is the week

804
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 14: for you.

805
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: And grab those quarterbacks.

806
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 14: Even if they don't play this week, their upside is

807
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 14: high enough where you they should be on your roster.

808
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 4: There's a night football this week, an AFC West clash.

809
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 4: I think you got to call it a clash, the

810
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 4: Denver Broncos looking to extend their lead and the AFC

811
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 4: West the Las Vegas Raiders, looking to shake off that

812
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 4: disappointing defeat to the Jaguars the other day. Time to

813
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 4: get right and time to get back on the field.

814
00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 4: Prime Video Thursday, eight fifteen pm kickoff, which means if

815
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 4: today is Tuesday, it must be Sam Schwarztein Day. Here

816
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 4: on the Insiders, Brian Video and tnf's analytics expert to

817
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 4: give a deep dive into the week ten TNF matchup

818
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 4: between those two teams. Bo Nicks leads all twenty twenty

819
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 4: four draft quarterbacks in at least one category wins.

820
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: How does he do it, Sam, Well, he saves it

821
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: for the fourth quarter.

822
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 15: He's a much different quarterback in the first three quarters

823
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 15: and then he just decides to go off in the fourth.

824
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 15: He's got a negative EPA per dropback through quarters one

825
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 15: and one through three, but then the fourth quarter he's

826
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 15: point to aep per dropback and this carries over from

827
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 15: last year. This was negative EPA in the first three

828
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 15: quarters to plus point one four. So he's at least

829
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 15: twice as good this year as he was compared to

830
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 15: last year. And it's these big plays that he's able

831
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 15: to make when he pushes the ball downfield, not afraid

832
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 15: to take off and scramble because I think his job.

833
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 15: I think everyone in the building knows, hey, this defense

834
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 15: is awesome. We don't need to use him until the

835
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 15: fourth quarter and he can go win us the game.

836
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: Wins are not a quarterback steat, of course they are.

837
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 4: If Sam Schwarztein says they only has other stats back up,

838
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 4: that's that bo doesn't just win games as much as

839
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 4: their defense does as well. Their defense gives up the

840
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 4: fourth fewest points per game at just eighteen point four

841
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 4: this season.

842
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: How does Vance Joseph's unit do it?

843
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 15: It's all about getting after the quarterback and their pressure

844
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 15: rate is the number one in the NFL out forty

845
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 15: four percent. And it's because their ability to have two

846
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 15: really unique edge rushers and Nick Bonito and Jonavan Cooper,

847
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 15: and these guys are not household names, but they should be.

848
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: In large part.

849
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 15: I think sometimes they're at practice the other team's practice

850
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 15: during the week because of how will they get off

851
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 15: the ball? John Than Cooper leads the NFL with a

852
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 15: point seventy three get off time I mean how fast

853
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 15: he's crossing line of scrimmage after the snap. Number three

854
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 15: is Nick Bonito, and Nick Benito leads the NFL in

855
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 15: quick pressure rate pressures under two and a half seconds.

856
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 15: That means the offense had no chance of getting started

857
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 15: at eleven percent. And you can't forget Zach Allen in

858
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 15: the middle. He's tied for the league lead in pressures

859
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 15: from defensive tackles in sacks.

860
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: This is a full unit.

861
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 15: This is the same unit from twenty twenty three that

862
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 15: was getting embarrassed.

863
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: It's great to see the progressions now.

864
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 4: They're not actually at the other team's practices that's frowned upon.

865
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 4: We don't need any more congressional hearings. Sam makes the jokes,

866
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 4: He's the joke maker. He's a stat maker too. Are

867
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 4: a stat interpreter, brock Bowers, give me some interpretation of

868
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 4: these stats.

869
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: What did the numbers say?

870
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 4: Because he looked like brock Bowers again, what did the

871
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 4: numbers say about his impact on the offense? Because I

872
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 4: know what my eyeballs say when I watch him.

873
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 15: The eyeballs everything says brock Bowers is a superstar. We

874
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 15: all saw this years ago in Georgia. The Raiders average

875
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 15: one more yard per play when he's on the field

876
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 15: not And then for you fantasy nerds, I know Florio's

877
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 15: still listening to the show. Two point six yards per

878
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 15: rout run. That's the holy grail of what you're looking

879
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 15: for in wide receivers. That's third amongst tight ends. And

880
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 15: when we go back to EPA, that's expected points at it.

881
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 15: That's the holy grail of analytics, nerd stats. He had

882
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 15: one of the best games since twenty twenty with sixteen

883
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 15: expected points at it, his three touchdowns, nine receptions over

884
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 15: hundred yards. He is the straw that starts to drink

885
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 15: for Chip Kelly and this Raiders offense. It's so important

886
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 15: to have Bowers back in the lineup.

887
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,719

Speaker 3: I don't really care about Tom Brady's dog, Like he

909
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 3: doesn't have enough nice things. He's got to have the

910
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 3: same loving dog that he had before. Brady's fine, he's rich,
