1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Here are the NFL Report Week seven almost done. I'm

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Steve White here with James Palmer. James, we were both

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: at really good games yesterday. You got the Chiefs increasing

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: their lead in AFC West. I was at the Steelers

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: Rams games. They won that game, and JP, let's kind

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: of bring before we get started to hear people into

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: our world pre game, some of the conversations, some of

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: the things we noticed. We're on the field hours before

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: kickoff doing our job.

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: I like the use of hours, Steve, because I believe

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: I have arrived at Arrowhead on Sunday morning at about

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: seven am for a three twenty five kickoff.

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 3: People are playing oooho, no, no no.

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 4: I was there a long time, and I could be

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 4: there even longer.

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: I love Arrowhead and it was maybe the most beautiful

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: day Kansas City has ever had.

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 4: It was gorgeous.

19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: While I'm standing in the right outside the visiting tunnel

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: talking to Keenan Allen, just kind of watching him catch

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: these balls over his shoulder, one after another, ball over

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: his shoulder. Kenny, you're doing this to get your the

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: perception of it right, to see the ball in each stadium.

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: And He's like, you got to know exactly how it

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: looks in every stadium maybe, and these red seats are

26
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: not nice to catch against it.

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 4: And I was fascinated by that.

28
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: Steve just a receiver spending a ton of time the

29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: same way an outfielder might go out there and just

30
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: throw balls against a wall in a visiting stadium in

31
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, just to see, you know, how the

32
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: ball comes off the wall. He's sitting there seeing how

33
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: the seats would impact how he sees the football. What

34
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: goes on pregame maybe is more elaborate than a lot

35
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: of people think, especially with quarterbacks.

36
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: It really is jap, I mean.

37
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: And part of what we do and part of our

38
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: jobs is to see little things, little nuances like you

39
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: will see players actually go walk to certain parts of

40
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: the field, like how basketball players would dribble on the

41
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: wood to see dead spots. They'll go see if there's

42
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: a soft spot in the turf, or if there's artificial turf,

43
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: if there's a pile up of the rubber pellet and

44
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: a heavier part of the field than where they are

45
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: in the other part of the field. It's a true science,

46
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: and it's smart, I mean. And that's why these guys

47
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: really know exactly what part of the field they can

48
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: do certain things and what part what they can't.

49
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: But we got to start the show off with the

50
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: game of the week, James.

51
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: That was Sunday night with a Philadelphia Eagles where they

52
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: came in and they did a muscle flex and aj

53
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Brown style muscle flex in the second half of the

54
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: game to shut down the high flying Miami Dolphins.

55
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say Joe Brown. They were in Kelly Greens,

56
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna say what Jerome Brown, maybe white. I'm

57
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: gonna say light type of physical flex up front as

58
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: they were rocking the Kelly Greens. From my childhood. You

59
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: gotta remember, Steve that this Miami's Dolphins offense. Obviously, they

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: were shorthanded a little bit on the offensive line, Jaylen

61
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: Waddle battled injuries throughout the game.

62
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 4: But this is a group.

63
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: Let me look at this right now, coming into this game,

64
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 2: number one in points per game, total offense, passing offense,

65
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: rushing offense, red zone offense, and Philly holds Miami to

66
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: season lows in points, seventeen, total yards, passing yards, rushing

67
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: yards just forty five.

68
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: And time of session.

69
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: I was blown away by this defensive front of the

70
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles and how they were able to manhandle that

71
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: group up front we've seen. Really we all talk about

72
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: the exposive plays with Miami, but it's all predicated off

73
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: of the run, right, That's exactly where they want to

74
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: start this. And the way that they weren't just supposed

75
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: to be physical on the inside with guys like Jordan

76
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: Davis and Jalen Carter and the ageless Fletcher Cox, but

77
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: the way guys like Hassan Reddick Josh Sweat played on

78
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: the outside because of that wide zone run game. Extremely

79
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: impressive performance by that front seven, because remember that Philly

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: secondary was banged up. For that front group not to

81
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: give to a whole lot of time. I think they

82
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: hit him like eight times, sacking four times, a bunch

83
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: of tackles for loss. That group up front did not

84
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: give to a whole lot of time to throw the football.

85
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: And you talked about the of the edge defenders.

86
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean that's huge when you're trying to stop that

87
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: outside joon runs game.

88
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: If they set the edge or they kind of.

89
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: Jam up that pocket off tackle, that really makes things

90
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: difficult for the offense. But again, let's not forget the

91
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins were down three rotational players, two starters on the

92
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: offensive line. I still don't know if this trekes a difference.

93
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: And then this is what made me think of a

94
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: little bigger picture stuff here, and that is, if you

95
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: do not want to go through Philadelphia, you better handle

96
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: your business San Francisco, because the Eagles showed in that

97
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: game last night that they can play bully ball, they

98
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: can play cold weather football, and they've shown in the

99
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: past if they need to, they can play high flying football.

100
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Because remember this game was tied up at seventeen in

101
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: the second half, and then that's when all of.

102
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: A sudden they start.

103
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: They have the pick by Darius Slay right right down

104
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: there in the reds on Miami was threatening.

105
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: I mean, they had a.

106
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: Nice drive going Sleigh gets to pick they put together

107
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: and I think it was an eighty three yard drive

108
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: thirteen plays, two toush push conversions on fourth down.

109
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: And isn't this funny?

110
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: JP If it were Brandon Staley who went for the

111
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: fourth and one on his own twenty six, we'd be

112
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: killing him. But because Nick Siriani and these Eagles offensive

113
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: made that tous push an automatic play, We're like, oh yeah,

114
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna get it.

115
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: No. First to nine.

116
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: Steve's first to nine according to Mixer every down distance

117
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: they have, which is a great quote and it'll probably

118
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: be on multiple T shirts in the Philadelphia area. What

119
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: you're saying exactly, Steve, is that they can beat you

120
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: multiple ways. You can see them go downfield as that

121
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: part of the game is coming back together, which we

122
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: saw last year, but it struggled early with a new

123
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: play caller.

124
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: In Brian Johnson.

125
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: AJ Brown downfield, it's not a fifty to fifty ball.

126
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: The way he uses his body to shield defenders, it's

127
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: kind of like, you know, a guy playing the low

128
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: block as a power forward. Reminds me of Charles Barkley,

129
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: just kind of using your body to put the defender

130
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 2: on one side of you.

131
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: AJ Brown has been remarkable if they can.

132
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: Also play the bullyball of running the football with their quarterback,

133
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: with multiple running backs and their dominant offensive line. And

134
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: I love what you said about going into Philadelphia because

135
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: that was a big part of this game in terms

136
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: of a learning experience for Mike McDaniel and his group.

137
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: If you look at the.

138
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: Two losses they have, it's two tough environments to play

139
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: in in Buffalo and in Philadelphia, and I think his

140
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: group learned was in an atmosphere like this against a

141
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: team as good as this, you can't have small mistakes

142
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 2: like he mentioned where maybe they had a lineman issue.

143
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: Steve Right, the offensive lineman weren't exactly in the splits

144
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: that they wanted them to be in. And he's like,

145
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: a team like Philly upfront will take advantage of that.

146
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: They were behind the chains repeatedly because of the way

147
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: Philly played upfront. You can't make those small mistakes on

148
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: on the road against a team like Philadelphia.

149
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: All Right, And just real quick, let's flash back a

150
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and we had forty nine Ers

151
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: safety Talano Hufona on here.

152
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: We were talking about their hot start.

153
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: He said it was their mission out of the gate

154
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: to make sure they don't slip up so they can

155
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: secure home field when they get to the playoffs. Now

156
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: we're probably seeing some of the thinking with the way

157
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: that Philadelphia has played. Hey, JP, you were at a

158
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: fantastic game last night and you had a really interesting

159
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: postgame interview as well.

160
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: Patrick.

161
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,119
Speaker 2: Everybody in the country knows you're looking for Travis Kelce.

162
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: How do you guys still do this game in and

163
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 4: game out. Yeah.

164
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 5: He's a special player, man. The way he understands the game,

165
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: he understands coverages and gets himself. Man, it's special. And

166
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: I was probably the other guys are steping up and

167
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: taking some pressure off him. They did a good job

168
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 5: of kind of helping going to get him in the

169
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 5: second half. Other guys stepped up and we were able

170
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 5: to find a way to win. Mentioned the other guys

171
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 5: stepping up the first touchdown you have his to MVS.

172
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 5: How are things coming with this wide receiver group? Do

173
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 5: you feel like you're turning a corner in a sense? Yeah,

174
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 5: I feel like we've gotten better and better. You know,

175
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: it has him in the typical Chiefs as far as offensively,

176
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 5: but every week you can see us stepping in the

177
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: positive direction, and so we want to keep getting better

178
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 5: and better and play our best FOTBA at the end

179
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 5: of the season.

180
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: What we've always seen his spags gainst this defense getting

181
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: better as the year goes on, but they've started out

182
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: so hot.

183
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: What's it like playing with the defense that you guys

184
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 4: have right now?

185
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it takes a lot of pressure off us. I

186
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: mean the way they're able to shut the door. I mean,

187
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: that's a great offense, and they had a good first half,

188
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 5: but the defense made adjustments, did a great job in

189
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 5: the second half whenever we were struggling. And that's team football, man,

190
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 5: and that's what you got to do in this league

191
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: to get a win.

192
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: Going joy it.

193
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 6: I appreciate you.

194
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: We cut off the bro hub.

195
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: That's all right, Steve, But you know Pat said he

196
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: was always nice to give a nice little chat with

197
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: James Palmer. This was the exact same score as the

198
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: Eagles and the Dolphins. It was thirty one seventeen, and Steve,

199
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: you talked about playing at home. Is Patrick Mahomes ever

200
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: going to play a road playoff game in his career.

201
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: We'll find out because he's yet to do it.

202
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: And they're really off to a scream and start in

203
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: the division, and we'll get to that. But what stands

204
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: out to me is that second question right there, because

205
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: we know what Travis Kelsey was able to do once

206
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: again going for a gazillion yards and having a million

207
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: of them in the first half, and Patrick Mahomes.

208
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: And him working something together.

209
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: But we've always been constantly talking about this wide receiver

210
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: group and how are things coming. I got some intel

211
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: being there this past Sunday, and what stands out to me, Steve,

212
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: is the way that Patrick Mahomes has handled this process

213
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: with these new pieces, with some younger guys like Sky

214
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 2: Moore and Rashid Rice, and how he's gone about the

215
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: process of the week and during the game. I've been

216
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: told coaches have been almost in awe of the way

217
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: he's had patience with this process, the way he has

218
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: been a coach on the field during practice, during games,

219
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: the way he's put the effort in. And I mentioned

220
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: that word patience, Steve, how many top tier quarterbacks do

221
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: you think have a lot of patients when things are

222
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: not working with a certain player or a certain group.

223
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: They sometimes don't have it. Some of the greats haven't

224
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: had it. This is an aspect of Patrick Mahomes's game.

225
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: They mentioned maybe another tool in his toolbox in terms

226
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 2: of making him a better player and a better, more

227
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: complete quarterback in the long run. Because of this struggle here,

228
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: you saw his play with the receivers a little.

229
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: Bit better in this game. It's turning a corner in

230
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: a sense. It seems.

231
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we saw Tom Brady have that patience

232
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: with wide receivers because you know, the Patriots really never

233
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: gave him a great one. At least Patrick has had

234
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: tybreek Hill for a little bit. We have We've seen

235
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks not have it. But you know, I love

236
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: the question. You know you asked him about Travis Kelsey.

237
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: By the way, Kelsey twelve catches for one hundred and

238
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: seventy nine yards for a touchdown a little bit later

239
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: on the show, so they have a former stand for

240
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: coach David Shaw on here, or we're gonna talk about

241
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: the tight ends and how awestin that they've been. But again,

242
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: I want to go a bigger picture here. Let's look

243
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: at the AFC West. The Chiefs are already three games

244
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: up on the second place Raiders, who've got three wins

245
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: right now. Those Raiders who win in Chicago got beat

246
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: by Tyson Bagent yesterday. This is just another one. I'm

247
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: sure the division is not something that's their goal. Let's

248
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: win the division, but you know that's always the first

249
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: step so they can get part of that, buy secure

250
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: the whole field, whatever that may be. But I want

251
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: to look at the rest of the division because once

252
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: again we see the Chargers who typically play the Chiefs close.

253
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what they've got going on, James, because

254
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: to me, they're still probably the second best team in

255
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: the division, although they're not playing like it.

256
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: They're two and four right now.

257
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: And to get to the question you ask Patrick Mahomes,

258
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, every one in the world knows that's where

259
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: you're going with the ball, and they allow him to

260
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: catch twelve or thirteen passes, make somebody else beach. And

261
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: this is why Brandon Staley is now going to start

262
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: here if he thought he was on the hot seat

263
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: with Sean Payton looking over his shoulder last year. Right now,

264
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: that side the ball that's supposed to be his specialty

265
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: where they put all this money and it is not working,

266
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: especially with an example like this.

267
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: This is really going to bring the pressure, and I

268
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: get it.

269
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: We don't know Denver.

270
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: Maybe they start playing better, maybe the Raiders start playing better.

271
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: But this again is a Chiefs division. And I'm not

272
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: saying that Chargers can't make a run. In terms of

273
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: their schedule.

274
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: It's not easy, but it's not brutal.

275
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: I just don't know if they've got the gumption to

276
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: string together four wins to put themselves back in a

277
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: playoff picture.

278
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with the Chief Steve when you say

279
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: this is their division, because I think being in the

280
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: driver's seat here, they have the ability. And I won't

281
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: say this was told directly to me in the locker room,

282
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: but it was kind of hinted at post game that

283
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: there's certain players like say a Jeric McKinnon that we're

284
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: kind of just we know what he can do. It's

285
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: almost November, it's almost December. We'll start firing Jet up

286
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: a little bit. They have that luxury, no lie, because

287
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: of this spot they're in right now, because of the

288
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: depth they have on both sides of the ball.

289
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: I think the number of skilled guys they have.

290
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: They have multiple running backs with Clyde Edwards, Hilaire Isaiah Pacheco.

291
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: They're running the ball more.

292
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: Than they have in years past. And then on the

293
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball, they are deeper as well.

294
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: And the massive injury that happened in that game Sunday

295
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 2: night to their middle linebacker Nick Bolton, he dislocates his wrist.

296
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: He's gonna need surgery. To my understanding's gonna be out

297
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: several weeks. We know what Spags puts on the middle

298
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: linebacker right in this system, Steve. They signed Drew Tranquil

299
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: in the offseason and when Bolton was out earlier in

300
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: this season, I was told by coaches he filled in

301
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: unbelievably to the point that they needed a fine snaps

302
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: for him when Bolton came back because he was playing

303
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: so well. Those type of moves to give yourself some depth.

304
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: When Drew Tranquil will slide in, not saying it's plug

305
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: and play, but a very good, very smart player coming

306
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: in for Nick Bolton. The depth of the Chiefs helps

307
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: them during this time. Coming up, we are going to

308
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: travel to what was going to be, Steve, I thought

309
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: one of the greatest games of the weekend between the

310
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: Lions and the Ravens. Well, the Ravens took the Lions

311
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: behind the woodshed and just whoop, it was insane. We'll

312
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: talk about that was Sherry Burriss coming up on more

313
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: the NFL Report. Welcome back to the NFL Report. James Palmer,

314
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: Steve Witch with you were joined by Sherry Burris, who

315
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: was at what I thought, Sherry was going to be

316
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: the game of the weekend, the Baltimore Ravens hosting the

317
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. But what happened. The Ravens won the toss,

318
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: they decided to take the football. Strange, yes, but they

319
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: score on their opening drive. That's all the points they

320
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: need because they won thirty eight to six. We've been

321
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: waiting for this offense to finally click with Todd Monkin

322
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: and Lamar Jackson working together. What stood out Cherry to

323
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: you the most? Specifically maybe when they're down there in

324
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: the red zone.

325
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 7: Well, James kind of starting off, it just felt like,

326
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 7: you know, an Oprah said, like you get a touchdown,

327
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 7: you get a touchdown, you get a touchdown.

328
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 6: Everyone seemingly finding the end zone.

329
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 7: And you know, just a couple of weeks ago, we

330
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 7: were talking about them being the best team in the

331
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 7: red zone, but the last two weeks kind of faltering.

332
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 7: Quarterback Lamar Jackson saying it was just a miscommunication er.

333
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 7: Offensive coordinator Todd Monkin said, the simple.

334
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: Solution is scheme it better, call.

335
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 7: It better, coach it better, and then execute it better.

336
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 7: And that's exactly what we saw. They were five of

337
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 7: six in the red zone. And as you mentioned it, dude,

338
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 7: you thought this gonna be such a great game. Both

339
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 7: really strong defenses. Pregame, I was thinking this was going

340
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 7: to be a defensive chess match. Turns out I was

341
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 7: only fifty percent right. As more the raven side that

342
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 7: really held up there end of the bargain. But it

343
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 7: really was impressive that they were able to make that

344
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 7: fix for their red zone struggles so quickly. And you know, see,

345
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 7: if I looked back at my text messages, it was

346
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 7: only about an hour and a half into the game,

347
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 7: you texted me saying, Hey, we have to talk about

348
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 7: this game on Monday.

349
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 6: I don't even know if it was halftime yet.

350
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 7: If that even goes to show just how they were

351
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 7: able to turn things around on offense, they had five

352
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 7: hundred and three yards of offense. Head coach Dan Campbell saying,

353
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 7: Lamar just absolutely grilled them with his arm. So as

354
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 7: much as we've waited to see, now through it with

355
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 7: seven weeks of this season, I think this is really,

356
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 7: you know, the glimpse of what we expected from this

357
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 7: Ravens offense so far this season.

358
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sert, it take.

359
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: It takes a little time, and uh, you know, I

360
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: was talking to someone recently said it takes about five

361
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: or six games, and that's where they are because you

362
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: could see last week when they played in London, and

363
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: how about that they did not take the buy when

364
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: they came back from London.

365
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: That they were starting to get it together.

366
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: They had the red zone issues, but they really cleaned

367
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: house against the Lions.

368
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: And to me, it was their offensive line.

369
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a dominant performance by Ronnie Stanley

370
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: and the gang that really shaped it up. But Sherry

371
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: also the defense we talked about. The Lions had one

372
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: of the highest scoring offenses in the NFL. They don't

373
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: think they get held to six points? What about that

374
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: side of the ball for the.

375
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 7: Ravens absolutely lights out? And postgame I asked to Mark Andrews,

376
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 7: if the defense is able to play like they did

377
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 7: in that game against the Lions, how does this kind

378
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 7: of piece together the puzzle of everything they want to do?

379
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 7: And he says, their defense sets the tone. That starts

380
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 7: with Roquan Smith Patrick Queen. They had five sacks against

381
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 7: the Lions. Detroit only allowed ten sacks all season, So

382
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 7: that doesn't say anything about what this defense is able

383
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 7: to prove and to show. And again it does really

384
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 7: start with Roquon. He's just such a delight off the

385
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 7: football field. He is an absolute beast out there. We

386
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 7: saw him kind of chirping a couple different times on

387
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 7: the JumboTron earlier in the week. He said he's from

388
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 7: the show me business, right. He wanted the Lions to

389
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 7: prove to him how good they were. After the game,

390
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 7: he kind of gave us a little tidbit of what

391
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 7: he said in his pregame speech. He said, guys, this

392
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 7: is M and T Bank Stadium. This is the bank,

393
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 7: This is not a Lions den. We are not going

394
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 7: to let them come in here, he said. He told

395
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 7: the security guards to lock the doors. They are not

396
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 7: going to let the Lions out until they were ready

397
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 7: talking the talk, walking the walk, and the defense is

398
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 7: really following suit.

399
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 4: I don't know share if that's up the fire code

400
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 4: or not. If you're allowed to just lock the wars. Yeah,

401
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 4: crowded stadium, I'm not sure that's take it to get out.

402
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 7: We all left at the same time. The security guard

403
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 7: did not let any of us out any earlier.

404
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 4: It was horrend it.

405
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: That's phenomenal. I have to one quick note on this game. Honestly,

406
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: it stands out to me. Sherry in the red zone,

407
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: specifically Andy U, Steve is I had a conversation with

408
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: Sean Payton the other day about the mobility of quarterbacks

409
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: in the red zone and how is just an added

410
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: really element that a defense needs to account for. But

411
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: what we're seeing, because we know the mobility is there

412
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 2: with Lamar Jackson, is how patient he was looking to

413
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: throw the football and not just take off and run

414
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: down the red zone. To make defenses sit there and

415
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: have to kind of plaster and hold for a second

416
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 2: and maybe not just take off immediately like you used

417
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: to do a couple of years ago. Another added element

418
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: down there that makes this offense in the red zone

419
00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 2: even more dynamic.

420
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 7: But he was in the pocket at nine seconds. They

421
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 7: able to scramble and still throw a TD, right, I

422
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 7: mean it's like what else?

423
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: What else can you do? Yeah, Attorney appreciate it. Thanks

424
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: so much.

425
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: Cherry really appreciate you.

426
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: Hey, you know, and JP Sherry gave us some good

427
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: stuff because the Ravens now our leading that that AFC

428
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: North and I was at the game with the Rams

429
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: and the Steelers and the Steelers now four and two.

430
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: Remember the Steelers and Kenny Pickett came back and beat

431
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: the Ravens. A couple of weeks ago. Kenny Picket, as

432
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: we have said before, is that guy in the fourth quarter.

433
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: I know when he went forward on fourth down late

434
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: in the game to close it out. The measurement might

435
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: have favored the Steelers right there for what they did

436
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: on the review, but that doesn't deny what happened with

437
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the fourth quarter. Here's Kenny Pickett seven

438
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: of seven for one hundred and thirty eight yards.

439
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 3: In the fourth quarter. He had only completed ten passes

440
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: before that.

441
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: And the way that they operated with the way he played,

442
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: they were able to run the ball, sustain the drives,

443
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: keep the ball away from the Rams, and jp when

444
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: the Rams did have it, it was TJ. Watt who

445
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: did a number to help slow the Rams, to slow

446
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: the Rams down. But besides the Steelers staying in contention

447
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: with that victory, the rest of the division is right

448
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: there because the Browns won and the Bengals had to

449
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: buy not a losing record.

450
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: So what about this overall division?

451
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: When you see the way the Ravens are playing right now,

452
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers look like they are only getting better. With

453
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson coming in at wide receiver. The Browns found

454
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: a way PJ. Walker, and now the Bengals have had

455
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: it an extra week for Joey Beatty get healthy.

456
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: It's remarkable to look at this right now and say,

457
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: you know, we know what the Browns are, They're a

458
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: very good team. We know what the Bengals are a

459
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: very good team, and that the Steelers are right now

460
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: currently second in the division, and they're the only team,

461
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 2: Steve that has yet to.

462
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 4: Lose within this division.

463
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 2: They are two to zero in the ASC North and

464
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: everybody else has a loss, which I find very interesting.

465
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: What I'm curious about, and we'll get to this in

466
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 2: just a little bit with our man Jeff Chadeah in

467
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: terms of the confidence he has with a variety of

468
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: teams in the NFL. He has confidence in a lot

469
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: of teams in this division. I'm curious when you mentioned

470
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: that fourth quarter. I'm impressed by Kenny Pickett, but the

471
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: three other quarters. You can't have sustained success throughout a

472
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: season by playing a quarter of a game. I'm impressed

473
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 2: by it. I'd like to see them use both running

474
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: backs a little bit more. What's hold up?

475
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 3: The Steelers did this all through Ben Roethlisberger's career.

476
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 4: JP.

477
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger would look very ordinary for three quarters.

478
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: And they would find a way to stay close. And

479
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: then he was one of the best clutch quarterbacks in

480
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: the NFL, which is why he's knocking on the door

481
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: to Canton because of what he did, and what Kenny

482
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: Pickett is doing right now is very much in line

483
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: with what Roethlisberger did.

484
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: Listen, I don't think anybody in Pittsburgh is gonna argue

485
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: with you if you're gonna say Kenny Pickett's.

486
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 4: Gonna turn out to be Ben Roethlisberger.

487
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's gonna be up to say that

488
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: if that's what ends up having with Kenny Pickett. But listen,

489
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 2: what I do like about it, Steve, is what does

490
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett in the fourth quarter kind of show you.

491
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of what Mike Tomlin builds with

492
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: this team, right, It's a little bit of how he

493
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: plays this physical style of football. A lot of ugly

494
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: wins come out of Pittsburgh, but what are they anyway,

495
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: They're wins. And I think, actually this is kind of

496
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: the build of Kenny Pickett in a sense, kind of

497
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: his you know, the way he is wired in a

498
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: sense put the other three quarters together and then you

499
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: might have something offensively. But I think this defense is

500
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: still playing really well in Pittsburgh, and I think ugly

501
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: wins are wins, Steve, and that's the way Mike Tomlin does.

502
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: He wins five career comebacks in eighteen starts. For Kenny Pickett,

503
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: he has got four or six fourth quarter comebacks in

504
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: his eleven wins.

505
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 3: You tell me he's not gonna be the next Ben Roethlisberger. Wait,

506
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: that's for a later day, because coming.

507
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: Back, we have a special guest join us talk about

508
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: National tight Ends Day and also about the people throwing

509
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: those tight ends the ball. We're back at the NFL

510
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: Report and JP we now are making having David Shaw,

511
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: the former head coach of Stanford University, now with NFL Network,

512
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: making his NFL Report debut.

513
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: Coach, thank you so much for joining us.

514
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 8: Glad y'all have me, and I'm ready to go.

515
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: Well here here's we're gonna start with.

516
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, as if you didn't know, we only hyped

517
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: it up for like a week or so. It was

518
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: National tight Ends Day on Sunday, and so many of them,

519
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: so many of them showed out. We had Travis Kelsey,

520
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: we had Dallas Goddard, you know, even Mike Gasicki catches

521
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: the winning touchdown for the New England Patriots. So let's

522
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: focus on the position because the tight end has become

523
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: a focal point in the NFL, kind of an unguardable

524
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: chess piece. As somebody who loved tight ends at Stanford,

525
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: what have you seen with the evolution of the position

526
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: or maybe even the player who plays the position.

527
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean this goes back years of course from Gronk,

528
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 9: even Tony Gonzalez before that. You're looking for a difference maker,

529
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 9: and us at Stanford Universe, of course, we see ourselves

530
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 9: as as tight en. You guys like Zach and Kobe

531
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 9: Fleeener and Austin and Dalton Schultz has been to Pro Bowls.

532
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 9: We're looking for guys that are difference makers, guys that

533
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 9: play basketball and have great body control, big bodies, but

534
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 9: they can control their bodies. Can they jump? Can they

535
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 9: change direction? Can they go up and get rebounds? Can

536
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 9: they We're looking for guys that are recruited as defensive ends. Also,

537
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 9: they've got that toughness that that physical play can play

538
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 9: at the line of scrimmage. But as you're looking at

539
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 9: craviit Kelse. You're looking for a guy that can maneuver

540
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 9: in space. Can he get separation away from a defender.

541
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 9: Can you find that hole and much like it and

542
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 9: have an athletic quarterback. When that quarterback moves, can he

543
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 9: change direction to move with that guy? And then the

544
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 9: special guys they do the run after the catch, the

545
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 9: touch the ball, make somebody miss, hurtle over, somebody run

546
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 9: through a tackle.

547
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 8: So you're looking for that piece because a lot.

548
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 9: Of times, especially at the NFL level, the high level

549
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 9: corners sometimes cancel out the high level receivers. So now

550
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 9: here's that guy that can work the middle of the field.

551
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 9: It's a shorter throw for the quarterbacks. Even the deep ball,

552
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 9: the seam balls are easier throws than the deep outside balls.

553
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 9: And a guy that can work the middle. Now you've

554
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 9: got a guy that's an athlete. He's a difference maker.

555
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 9: Maybe a little bit bigger than the safeties, maybe a

556
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 9: little bit faster than the linebackers that are trying to

557
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 9: cover him, and he can make those big plays for

558
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 9: you in games.

559
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: Coach, I'm curious you mentioned understanding space. I think that

560
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: might be one of Travis Kelcey's biggest and most successful

561
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 2: traits that he has in the middle of the field.

562
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: And you mentioned basketball in a sense, how much is

563
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: that situational awareness as opposed to speed?

564
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 4: Almost maybe more.

565
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: Valuable if you tie that with football IQ at the position,

566
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 2: because it seems like the guys that have that high

567
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: football IQ at the tight ends, our EMA is even

568
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: almost more valuable.

569
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 10: Yeah.

570
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 9: I didn't know if I was gonna ever see anybody

571
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 9: better than Tony Gonzalez, but Travis Kelsey is right up there.

572
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 9: That feel for space and can the guy see me?

573
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 9: I see but around a linebacker, I'm nodding and moving

574
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 9: this safety.

575
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 8: Oh my god, my quarterback just moved plant.

576
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 9: I'm gonna find a quiet space so we can get

577
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 9: me the ball and then that catch and.

578
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 8: Turned to get yards after the catch.

579
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 9: Like those things are so important and for guy to

580
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 9: have that kind of a feel with nowadays especially, and

581
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 9: the defenses are playing great this year, changing coverages and blitzes,

582
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 9: and a lot of the scorings down and passing yards

583
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 9: are down. But those guys that can find those weak

584
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 9: spots and the changing defense, they can change games for you.

585
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: Coach, we're talking about with you know things that players

586
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: can do, But what about the evolution of the thought

587
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: process of the coach, Because a lot of times it

588
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: was he's got to be in line, he's got to

589
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: be able to do this. But now we're seeing all

590
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: these people figuring out how to use that athletic player

591
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: that you just talked about.

592
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, when you Travis Kelcey, Young Laporta, some of these

593
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 9: guys that are coming in the league, Kincaid, Now it's

594
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 9: a lot of fun because it's not a normal chess piece. Right,

595
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 9: Sometimes this chess piece can break the rules. Right, He's

596
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 9: not supposed to be this fluid, this fast, this athletic,

597
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 9: this smart. So now you can move him from outside right.

598
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 9: You see him playing outside, you see him playing in

599
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 9: the slot, you see him playing inline. You see him

600
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 9: playing in the backfield and sneaking out in pass routes.

601
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 9: You see him in pass protection. But then the next

602
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 9: after pass protection they check pass protection out. That ability

603
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 9: to move these guys around and play them in different

604
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 9: places creates havoc on the defense. Especially now you're a

605
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 9: defensive coordinator. Used to be the tight ends going to

606
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 9: line up either the next to the left tackle or

607
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 9: the right tackle. Now Oh my gosh, he can line

608
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 9: up anywhere. And now who do we have matched up on? Oh,

609
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 9: we have a zone blitz. Oh my gosh. Now if

610
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 9: we don't get home, this guy's gonna find the seam.

611
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 9: Do we need to put our top coverman on him?

612
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 9: Do we make somebody else available? Do we cheat the

613
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 9: safety to his side? Now we might open up something else.

614
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 9: So when you're able to move a player like that

615
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 9: from one position to another outside inside backfield and have

616
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 9: them run a variety of routes, now you're putting that

617
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 9: much more pressure on the defensive coordinator.

618
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: It's gotta be exciting to be an offensive mine, right

619
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: when you have these pieces that you say break the

620
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: rules of chess coach, So Bobby Fisher wouldn't be very

621
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: excited about where you're going with the game of chess.

622
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: But it seems like it can go to a whole

623
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: other dimension, maybe three D chess, I don't know. But

624
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: let's talk about and move on to the guys that

625
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: are throwing the football to these tight ends and everyone else,

626
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: and some guys that have had some experience. Let's go

627
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: inside the Bears locker room for a rookie that is

628
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: out there doing things in his first start.

629
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, y'all had my back from the jump man.

630
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 11: You know we had adversity last week justin going down

631
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 11: and you know, right from the get y'all have my back.

632
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 6: So I couldn't appreciate y'all anymore. Couldn't have did that

633
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 6: without y'all today. And glad we go out there and

634
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 6: get a.

635
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: Good That is Tyson Bagent from the Bears locker room,

636
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 2: the rookie Division two quarterback and coach. What do you

637
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: see when you see a guy come in from the

638
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: background that Tyson has and maybe some of these other

639
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 2: young quarterbacks that are having early success, there's something that's

640
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: a parallel in your mind, and that's reps starts. How

641
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: much is that weighing into early success in young quarterbacks?

642
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 9: No question about it. For me, it's first and foremost ability.

643
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 9: You have to have the ability, but then the number

644
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 9: of reps and production with those reps. Right when you

645
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 9: can see that and this guy, I mean, what do

646
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 9: you throw for a ton of yards, a ton of touchdowns,

647
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 9: had a ton ton of plays, He made mistakes, he.

648
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 8: Learned from him.

649
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 9: He's seen every he's seen every coverage and now to

650
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 9: come in as a young guy. And I went back

651
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 9: to my head coach, Chechlist. Okay, you're starting a first

652
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 9: time starter, maybe a guy from a small school. First

653
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 9: and foremost, you put the pressure on the defense. We

654
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 9: can't have the score get out of whack. We got

655
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 9: to play great defense, and they play great defense. Second

656
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 9: of all, you put the pressure on the offensive line. Hey,

657
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 9: we got to be able to run the ball to

658
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 9: take the pressure off the quarterback so we can play

659
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 9: the play the game in second and five and third.

660
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 9: Put the pre pass catchers, Hey, we're running backs, make

661
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 9: plays for this guy. Don't put the game on his hands.

662
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 9: Let's put the game on your hands. And you saw

663
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 9: that happen. So now you go back and you watch

664
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 9: the game like I did again last night. And this

665
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 9: young man was playing in rhythm. He was quick, he

666
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 9: was athletic, he was smart. But even more than that,

667
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 9: you saw him get in and out of the huddle.

668
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 9: There were no delay of game penalties. You saw him

669
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 9: do the ball handing like the fly sweep. The backup

670
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 9: quarterback he gets no reps in the NFL. Right, the

671
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 9: backup quarterck gets no reps in the NFL. And this

672
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 9: guy handled the huddle. He handled all the motions, all

673
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 9: the all the fly sweeps, handled all that stuff really well.

674
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 8: And then what did he do.

675
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 9: He used all that experience from college, no matter what level,

676
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 9: all that experience. He went from one to two to

677
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 9: check down like his first play, his first pass play,

678
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 9: one to two, check down. The balls quick, it was athletic,

679
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 9: it was out of his hands. The bolts dropped, but

680
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 9: at the same time he got the ball out of

681
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 9: his hands. And then he saw him move the pocket,

682
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 9: He saw him escape the pockets. So that pocket awareness, that

683
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 9: pocket field, and the athletic ability to get out still

684
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 9: make plays down the field. I think he threw four

685
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 9: or five balls on the run yesterday. Yeah, and their

686
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 9: beautiful pass is perfectly thrown. So he's got the accuracy,

687
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 9: he's got the feel. And his teammates came up and

688
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 9: played big for them as well.

689
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know this is gonna be interesting to

690
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: me now to see how evaluators look at guys like Bage,

691
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: like brock Purty. Right, you've had that experience, you've had

692
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: success at whatever level that they play at. Right, and

693
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: see where they draft him and how soon how comfortable

694
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 1: they feel because the Bears feel comfortable enough to make

695
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: him their number two quarterback and to start him in

696
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: a circumstance like this. But then there's also the quarterback

697
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: with experience at the big programs, like we're seeing c J.

698
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: Stroud do his thing.

699
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: When you look at somebody who has all of the

700
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: check marks you said, but also plays in front of

701
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: eighty thousand, there, James, he's a Buckeye coach.

702
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 4: You know. When you see CJ.

703
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: Stroud in the success he's having this.

704
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: Year with the things you just talked about, how do

705
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: you think that translates to the NFL game.

706
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, you look all of those front end of the draft,

707
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 9: you want the guys that are proven right, you want

708
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 9: to see the ability. You want to see them playing

709
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 9: big games and non national TV and not falter, and

710
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 9: that gives them a step above. And then later in

711
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 9: the draft you're looking for production. You're looking for something

712
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 9: that stands out. You're looking for speeds, size, length, or

713
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 9: production down in the draft. So that's a tough balance,

714
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 9: you know, where you don't look at a brock Purge

715
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 9: and say, oh, we should have taken him earlier. Now

716
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 9: it makes sense, it makes sense why he was taken later.

717
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 9: You know, it makes sense why pageant pagent like everyone

718
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 9: was this past week, was looking at how to pronounce

719
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 9: his name, like, who's this guy, where's he from?

720
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 8: How do we pronounce his name?

721
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 10: Right?

722
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 9: So you understand why, But you also those personnel departments

723
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 9: they're looking for these nuggets. Here's the guy that was really,

724
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 9: really successful. And maybe he didn't have all the stature

725
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 9: and all the hype that these other guys have, but

726
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 9: they show something that looks like he can translate. And

727
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 9: that's why you pick a guy like this. And it's

728
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 9: great to see him come out there and play well,

729
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 9: and even even in front of the whole team, right,

730
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 9: he didn't sutter. He's out, thank you all, and he

731
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 9: talks with a little bit of a drawer. The guy's

732
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 9: love you know that Comphy's comfortable in his own skin

733
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 9: and called upon next week, is going to want ball

734
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 9: again next week. That's just who he is and what

735
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 9: he's done. But as much as anything, though, the defense

736
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 9: kept the score. You know, they played with the league

737
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 9: most of the game. The defense didn't let it get

738
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 9: out of whack. And that's the tough part for a

739
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 9: young guy that's coming in now. Oh my gosh, first

740
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 9: first half next year. Next week is going to be

741
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 9: down fourteen. Do we have to bring him back?

742
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 8: That's the next stage.

743
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 9: But for a guy to come in, be efficient, run

744
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 9: the show, make the passes, make the checks. He checked

745
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 9: all the boxes this past week, and proud of that,

746
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 9: young man.

747
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 4: Coach. I have one more real quick on these young quarterbacks.

748
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: And you mentioned it earlier in terms of pocket awareness

749
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: and feel inside the pocket. We've seen Kenny Pickett maybe

750
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: struggle with this a little bit in his young career.

751
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: In your mind with these guys that have played a

752
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: lot of snaps at the collegiate level when they come

753
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: into the NFL, is that something that you just have

754
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: from reps or you just have it as an innate ability.

755
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: Developing it at the NFL level is that tougher than

756
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: if you didn't establish it at the collegiate level.

757
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: Because so much is played off script.

758
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 9: And this is not an open cop it's much better

759
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 9: to find it than to train it right. You want

760
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 9: to look for it when you're watching films. Want to

761
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 9: see this guy have a feel. I'll go back to this.

762
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 9: When I became a coach, the guy I would meet

763
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 9: with every off season was my old coach Bill Walsh, Right,

764
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 9: the master, the genius, and Bill would quiz me like,

765
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 9: what are you looking for at quarterbacks and give him

766
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 9: this long list. All those are secondary to instincts. Right,

767
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 9: All those things you wrote down there all great secondary.

768
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 9: The guy has to have a he has to have instincts,

769
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 9: and it's hard to measure it. But that's what you're

770
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 9: looking for in my quarterback checklist I used to have

771
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 9: when I was with the Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders

772
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 9: and I was in the NFL. That was one of

773
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 9: those things, like pocket feel. I want to see him

774
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 9: operate in a clean pocket? Does he still get the

775
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 9: ball out on time? Operate in a dirty pocket? Can

776
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 9: he find the quiet spot? Can he push up and

777
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 9: keep his eyes down the field? Does he run too early?

778
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 9: Does he bail too early? Will he stand in there?

779
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 8: Will he stand in there and take a hit to

780
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 8: throw to make the big throw?

781
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 9: Or will he push up in the pocket and get

782
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 9: us five yards and get down and protect himself.

783
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 8: So those are things that you're looking for.

784
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 9: And watching the game with the Bears just yesterday, I

785
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 9: was outstanding to see this young man push up in

786
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 9: the pocket, keep his eyes down field, make a couple

787
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 9: of plays, escape the pocket to the outside, keeping the

788
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 9: ball in a throwing position, and get get rid of

789
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 9: the ball and throwing a great location where he was

790
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 9: safe for only our guy gets it, then the other

791
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 9: team doesn't have a chance. And then when it's time

792
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 9: to run, get as much as you can and get

793
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 9: down and protect yourself so you can play the next play. So,

794
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 9: like I said, he did everything that you needed to.

795
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 9: And we saw what Bill Walsh would say, instincts and feel.

796
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 9: We saw that when he played yesterday.

797
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: Coach David Shaw, I mean this is why we have

798
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: to have you back on the show. I mean, you

799
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: just dropped so much knowledge. You're gonna help our listeners

800
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: and viewers out so much. Thank you so much. One

801
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: last thing, though, you have to require of any quarterback

802
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: you get in the future, like Tyson Badget, you have

803
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: to cock your hat to the side when you do

804
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: your postgame interview like he did with Laura Oakmans name Shaw.

805
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.

806
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 1: And when we come back here at the NFL Report,

807
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Jeff Shadeah with his first read column

808
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: and more.

809
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 3: Back in the NFL Report. James, We're now joined by

810
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 3: Jeff Chiedea.

811
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: Who every Monday joined us with his NFL dot Com

812
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: First Read column.

813
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,479
Speaker 3: Jeff, before we get to you, we gotta, we gotta

814
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 3: for your column.

815
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: We just learned that the Philadelphia Eagles have acquired in

816
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: a trade Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard, one of the

817
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: best safeties in the NFL over the past six or

818
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: seven seasons. What about Howie Rose has been making this

819
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: type of move at this juncture of the season.

820
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 6: Hey, strong move.

821
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 11: I guess he's not slowing down in uh, after all

822
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 11: the moves he made last year. And you know it

823
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 11: was crazy about this move is that when I saw

824
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 11: the Eagles play the Rams a couple of weeks ago,

825
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 11: talking to some people in their front office, they were

826
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 11: really concerned about that secondary, how it was playing.

827
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 6: You know, they know Brad Berry and Darius Lay at

828
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 6: corner or.

829
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 11: Solid, but losing Avonte Maddix was a big hit, and

830
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 11: they everybody talked about how much they missed CJ. Gardner

831
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 11: Johnson at safety and so going out and getting a

832
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 11: guy like Bayered, who what to me is a top

833
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 11: three safety in this league, certainly a ballhawk, a great tackler,

834
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 11: a guy who can Blitz who can do a number

835
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 11: of things for you. Rich get Richard Man. It's a

836
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 11: great move for the Eagles.

837
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was also talk that there was another safety

838
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: that was potentially available in Justin Simmons that knows this

839
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: system his time in Denver with this Seawn de Side

840
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: type system, that he would have been a fit. But

841
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: they go and get Kevin Byern and I think go

842
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: back to two weeks ago, guys, when they finished that

843
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,959
Speaker 2: loss against the Jets with let me put my pen down,

844
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: one starter in their secondary still on the field at

845
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 2: the end of that game. That's how many injuries they

846
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 2: sustained in their second with guys that had gone down.

847
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: And remember they have a young safety duel and Reid

848
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: Blank and Ship who was an undrafted guy if I'm

849
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: recalling that correctly, who's really worked his way up, and

850
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 2: they like a lot Sidney Brown's played back there. Remember

851
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: they went and got Bradley Roby as a nickel just

852
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago.

853
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 4: That shows you where things were looking in this secondary.

854
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: And now to get a player of that caliber that

855
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: has the ability Steve to be a ballhawk that has

856
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: had a number of interceptions over his career, some of

857
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 2: the most among pretty much all players. I think since

858
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: twenty seventeens, Amiry Howard might be the only one with more.

859
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: And then you pair him with the defensive front that

860
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: they have in Philadelphia.

861
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

862
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: You know, when you think about the Eagles and Titans

863
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: making a trade, I think the last one really worked

864
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: out from Philly. That'd being aj Brown coming over real

865
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: quick job. Yeah, whatt did just tell you that Ran Carthon,

866
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: the general manager, and the Titans are doing If they're

867
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: selling off somebody like Kevin Bayard.

868
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 11: Correct sale is coming, you know. You guys see Ryan

869
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 11: Tannehill's pinal leaving town. Nobody's bolted down right now, except

870
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 11: for maybe Jeffrey Simmons everybody else in there. They got

871
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 11: to start restocking the shelves, man, I mean AFC. To

872
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 11: compete in the AFC with what they have, they need

873
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 11: a little more on that roster. So I understand exactly

874
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 11: what he's trying to do.

875
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to your column a little bit, Jeff.

876
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: You're talking about most trustworthy teams as we're through seven weeks,

877
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: and I'm fascinated by the team that you have as

878
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: the I believe fourth most trusted team that got their

879
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: doors blown off this past Sunday. You are very confident

880
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: in the Detroit Lions. Tell me this.

881
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 6: I don't take one loss too seriously at any point

882
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 6: in the season.

883
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 11: And this was just one of those games where the

884
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 11: Baltimore Ravens were on their A game and the lines

885
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 11: were on their F game, and it happened sometimes they

886
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 11: got caught off guard. But you look at the way

887
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 11: the Lions played football. I very much trust the way

888
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 11: they're built. Strong defensive line, strong offensive line. Jery Goff

889
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 11: have been playing like an MVP quarterback.

890
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 6: You know.

891
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 11: For me, what was more surprisingly in this game is

892
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 11: we finally got to see what Baltimore could be with

893
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 11: that new Liak offense. And I think everybody was gonna

894
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 11: wait and see that was gonna happen. It just happened

895
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 11: at the wrong time for the Lions. So I still

896
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 11: think if I'm looking for team to trust, and I

897
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 11: only pick three NFC team now, so after San Francisco

898
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 11: and Philadelphia, I love what the Lions are doing, and

899
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 11: their schedule for the next five weeks is very easy.

900
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 11: I think they should be sitting at ten to two

901
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 11: by the time that's all said and done.

902
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're in their division. They're running away with

903
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: a division as well. And by the way, the Ravens

904
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: are one of the teams you have on your list

905
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: as a team you trust.

906
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 3: Here's one that I'm interested in, though, is.

907
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills because we have seen them really, I mean,

908
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: they really seem like they're in a weird spot right now.

909
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we know how talented they are, but going

910
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: through the season, knowing that Miami is right there in

911
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 1: their division, you still have them as a team you trust,

912
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: but they seem like they're skimming the skimming the surface

913
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: of the water right now.

914
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 11: Well, I think they're too talented for one and I

915
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 11: believe in von Miller comes back in the mix that

916
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 11: default will get a huge boost. But really, I also

917
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 11: feel as if we've seen Buffalo go through so many

918
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 11: stretches like this over the last few years. You go

919
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 11: back to twenty twenty one and they were playing weird

920
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 11: football and got hot towards Dan and wound up playing

921
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 11: that you know, that iconic game against the Chiefs, and

922
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 11: the playoffs and last seasons, Shallen gets banged up, They

923
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 11: got these injuries and they find a way to get

924
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 11: it going. I just felt that some teams function well

925
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 11: with this function, and they're one of those teams that

926
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 11: when they start figuring things out, they can get pretty

927
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 11: good pretty fast. So I still feel like they're the

928
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 11: best team in the AFC. We've seen how they measure

929
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 11: up against the Dolphins, and that tells me that they

930
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 11: can easily win that division.

931
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 6: Again. Wow, and the.

932
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: Two big injuries on defense don't face Jeff Shedea what

933
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: I was curious about again?

934
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah? Right, I mean Mon was really really good.

935
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: How about the Cincinnati Bengals at number five? And you

936
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 2: are convinced at number five on your trusto meter, I'll

937
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: call it Jeff gidia because what I'm looking at is,

938
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: I I don't know if the sample size of this

939
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: offense clicking is very big yet. And then I look

940
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 2: at what they have next on their schedule. They go

941
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: to Santa Clara, They're at home against the Bills, Texans,

942
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 2: Raven Steelers, Jags.

943
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 4: I think we're going to get a chance to.

944
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: I think in a couple of weeks really rip the

945
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 2: shreds your confidence or you're you're exactly right after weeks out.

946
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,439
Speaker 11: Well, I understand the concerns here, but really, I feel

947
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 11: like the AFC is coming back to the Bengals, the

948
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 11: way the Dolphins got beat up, the way the Bills

949
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 11: are spreading. Chargers are pretty much out of it at

950
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 11: this stage, and we have to assume that they're not

951
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 11: going to be a playoff team at Also, I'm really

952
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 11: confident of the Bengals getting a wildcard spot just based

953
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 11: off that. And so you look at that, and again,

954
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 11: just as with Buffalo, they're one of these teams where

955
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 11: the more they get their backs up against the wall,

956
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 11: the better they seem to play. So it would not

957
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 11: spy me at all if the defensively.

958
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: He exactly, Bengal's a wildcard spot. So that brings us

959
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: to our next team that you trust. I already mentioned

960
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens, but the Cleveland Browns you trust them. And

961
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: here's the thing we saw yesterday. They found a way

962
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: to win with PJ.

963
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 8: Walker.

964
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: No concerns about when Deshaun Watson comes back. Is that

965
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna be disruptive or do you think they're gonna play

966
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 1: better with him in the lineup.

967
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 11: I feel like they've defined themselves already as a defense

968
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 11: first team that year, and no matter what they end

969
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 11: up doing, and they're getting Jerome Ford going in the

970
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 11: run game, Kareem Hunts making contributions.

971
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 6: I feel like they're going back to the old.

972
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 11: Playbook Keemi Stefanski ran a few years ago with Baker

973
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 11: Mayfield and just saying, let's let's take care of the football,

974
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 11: make a few big plays when we can, but let's

975
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 11: make sure that we're playing sound football and playing to

976
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 11: this defense. And when you got Miles Garrett, he's the

977
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 11: most viable player on that team, playing the way he's playing.

978
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 11: I like their potential. And again I'll go on to

979
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 11: Limb right now and start calling my playoff teams because

980
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 11: I see seven sound ones in the AFC. And like

981
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 11: I said, the Charters bang out. Not sure about Pittsburgh.

982
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 11: You know the Jets, you know, and they got Pittsburgh Patrick,

983
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 11: why not the Steelers?

984
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 8: Why not?

985
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 3: The Steelers are fourn too.

986
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 11: It's the offense, That's what they didn't make the list

987
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 11: because of the offense. I just don't know what I'm

988
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 11: gonna get them now.

989
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 4: We got situation is in Cleveland.

990
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 6: Only so many teams can make it.

991
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 4: Guys.

992
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 11: If I'm good point, yeah, I mean they're playing better

993
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 11: defense than the Steelers are, right now and their offense

994
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 11: is in Cleveland, It's still got more potential than what

995
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 11: the Steelers have. So yeah, I mean it's the teams

996
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 11: that were tough to leave off Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Seattle. I

997
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 11: just don't feel as if they've shown me enough to

998
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 11: where I could say, Okay, this team in January Sowen

999
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 11: playing consistent football. And really it's the AFC North is

1000
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 11: so stocked right now you have to eliminate somebody, and

1001
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 11: unfortunately right now it's the team with the best head coach.

1002
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 5: Right.

1003
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 3: But you're you're, you're your JB Jeff's MVP watch.

1004
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: Was he Lamar Jackson making a stronger push this week,

1005
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: as he should.

1006
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 3: But my guy Miles Garrett on the list, I love it.

1007
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a defensive guy. Defensive guy, You're a

1008
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: defensive guy.

1009
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 4: Explain, explain well. One.

1010
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 11: I got a little bit of boost from my boss

1011
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 11: Ali Vompuri, who's like, you gotta put Miles Garrett in there.

1012
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 11: I said, you know, you're right, You're You know how

1013
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 11: hard is to put together this list every week? Now,

1014
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 11: It's hard to find five guys every week that you

1015
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 11: can say are playing at an MVP level.

1016
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 6: Even Patrick Mahomes at the top of the list. He

1017
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 6: hasn't had his MVP typical.

1018
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 11: Season, but he's had enough good games to where you say, okay,

1019
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 11: you're you're in there. But I imagine that at the end

1020
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 11: of the day you'll see Josh Allen and Joe Burrow,

1021
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 11: some of those usual names emerged. But yeah, but right now,

1022
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 11: Miles Garrett deserves it being there. The way he played

1023
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 11: in that game, and I was like watching I thought

1024
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 11: I was watching like some alien movie or King Colin,

1025
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 11: just like running through people. It was just he was impossible.

1026
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 11: It was like a whole different species out there running around.

1027
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 4: A different species. No they don't, No, they don't watch

1028
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 4: him go dunkle basketball. It's incredible.

1029
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: Listen, it's been ten consecutive years where a quarterback has

1030
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: won the MVP Award. I love that you put somebody

1031
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 2: that wasn't a quarterback on the list, which got Steve

1032
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 2: and I thinking a little bit. I'm gonna pick somebody

1033
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 2: that I want to see on your list maybe in

1034
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks, and I'm gonna go Tyreek Hill.

1035
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 4: If he is still on pace right.

1036
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: Now to go over two thousand yards, I would think

1037
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 2: he has to be in the conversation if that happens,

1038
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 2: If the Dolphins are a first or second.

1039
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 4: Seed by the end of the season, and he has this.

1040
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 2: Team taking a turn, which we've seen for the two

1041
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 2: years that he has been there. To Waey, he's almost

1042
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 2: flipped that organization. To me, guys, I look at Tyreek

1043
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: Kill and go You mentioned physical specimens, people that are

1044
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 2: just built unlike anybody else. When you mentioned Miles Garrett,

1045
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 2: you could say the same thing about Tyreek Hill. Like

1046
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking at let's put every receiver against the ben's

1047
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: defensive back in football. I think Tyreek Hill wins more

1048
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 2: than maybe any receiver out there. If you were to

1049
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: go Mono Weemano the same way, probably Miles Garrett would

1050
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 2: win against the best tackles.

1051
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 4: One by one, Mono Weemano and matchups.

1052
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 2: I just think if you're looking at somebody that is

1053
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: more unique than anybody else in football, and you have

1054
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: to spend your week, Steve planning for maybe more than

1055
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 2: anybody else, Tyreek Hill should maybe be in the conversation.

1056
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, I think you're totally right about that.

1057
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 11: But you look at the way he's impacted the quarterback,

1058
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 11: especially and when Tyrek Hill was in Kansas City, and

1059
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 11: James has been here a lot and I watched him

1060
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 11: a lot. It's just he always thought, is it more

1061
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 11: my home?

1062
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 6: Is it more him?

1063
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 11: Kind of like with Tom Brady and Bo Belichick and

1064
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 11: Tyrek Hill just changes everything.

1065
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 6: And it's amazing to me that he can produce the

1066
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 6: way he produces.

1067
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 11: At his size every week with people knowing he has

1068
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 11: to get the football it is. The guy wasn't even

1069
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 11: receiver when he came into football. I mean what he's

1070
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 11: become is is the ultimate weapon.

1071
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 4: Speed. You're Jalen Ramsey, Yeah.

1072
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 3: Speed, He's got to be.

1073
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Deinia once again, fantastic job read Jeff's common NFL

1074
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 1: dot Com slash first read. And when we come back,

1075
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: we've got some outstanding post game podium moments from Week seven.

1076
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 3: Don't blink here at the NFL.

1077
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 10: Report First and nine. Every down, you know, every first

1078
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 10: down is first and nine. Knowing that if you get

1079
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 10: the fourth, fourth and one, shoot a lot of faith

1080
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 10: in that play because you've seen it, right, You've seen

1081
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 10: it across the league that people can't do it like

1082
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 10: we can do it. They can't do it like we

1083
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 10: can do it. And uh, and so I'm making my

1084
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 10: plug right there, like, don't don't ban this play Like

1085
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 10: if everyone could do it, everybody would where's the camera?

1086
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 8: If everybody could do it, everybody would do.

1087
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: It, Steve, that's Nick Sirianni, the Eagles head coach, or

1088
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: he could be essentially one of my friends at the

1089
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 2: corner are in South Philly, because that's exactly who he

1090
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: looks like is every single guy in Philadelphia. I don't

1091
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 2: know if there's a head coach that resembles the city

1092
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 2: that they coach in more than Nick Sirianni.

1093
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 4: I think he almost embraces who he is. He embraces

1094
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 4: that other teams don't care for him sometimes.

1095
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 2: And I think first and nine is going to be

1096
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: on a lot of T shirts as I brought up

1097
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 2: South Philadelphia, on a lot of T shirts on those

1098
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 2: streets right outside Lincoln Financial Field. He is honestly everything

1099
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: that city embodies. They love when outside cities hate them,

1100
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: and Nick Sirianni embraces that.

1101
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 4: And that clip right there was exactly what you've seen.

1102
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 2: If somebody from Channel six is standing talking to a

1103
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 2: street walker after a video after a series of games

1104
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 2: down in South Philadelphia, whether it's a Phillies game or

1105
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: an Eagles game.

1106
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 3: Bro, I know what to say right there talking to

1107
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 3: a street walker.

1108
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: You mean somebody walking down the street. James will rephrase

1109
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: your rev We were phrase your birthplay well, talking about

1110
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: somebody who represents a city, even though he is from

1111
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: the seven to five seven, from the Tidewater area of Virginia.

1112
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: That's Mike Tomlin who after the game yesterday against the

1113
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: Rams and the Steelers beat the Rams, his team had

1114
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: a couple of personal file taunting penalties things like that

1115
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: that put it in bad position. And when he was

1116
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: asked about this during his post game he said, well,

1117
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: we don't like it, but I would much rather have

1118
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: to tell them WHOA than sick them. In other words,

1119
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 1: I would rather ask for forgiveness than permission quickly, JP.

1120
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: We also found out that the Dolphins are going to

1121
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: be doing an nd season hard Knocks on HBO. They're

1122
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: rolling right now. You just talked about Tyreek Hill. We're

1123
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: talking about coaches. You think Mike McDaniel might have some

1124
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 1: great moments in there.

1125
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 2: We're pushing that Mike McDaniel button over and over again

1126
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 2: with the league. Man, it is just solid gold and

1127
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: keep going to that well as frequently as you can.

1128
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel is pure old, whether they win, whether they lose,

1129
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 2: and now I can't wait to see him day in

1130
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 2: and day out.

1131
