1
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: One of the lasting images of Week one in the NFL,

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Love with this backwards pass and a backwards knee

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: turns out some mcl sprain he'll be out three to

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: six weeks, although according to Matt Lafleur, shn chance he

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: sees the field.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: On Sunday.

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones finished off that game, much to the chagrin

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: of plenty of Giants fans.

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: Hear what Danny Dimes had to say.

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: About people who well, they might have had a different

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: nickname for him after last week's game, No such as

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: used for Reek Woollen and the Seahawks defense that put

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: on a pretty strong effort against the Broncos in their opener.

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: So what's in store for Week two against the Patriots.

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: We'll ask Reek himself when he joins us right here.

16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the insiders alongside Ian Rappaport, Judy Batista,

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Mike Garafolo, I am Tom Pelicero. Week two of the

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: NFL is officially upon us, and it's a week in which,

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, Matt Lafleur is still.

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: Not willing to say yet that Malik Willis is going

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: to be his starting quarterback.

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: That's where we begin in green Bay, where Lafleur has

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: since Monday declined to rule out Jordan Loves, saying in

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: part today he's going to.

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: Do everything he can to be out there.

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: We'll give him the week borring those some type of

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: miracle of modern medicine. Sure seems to be tracking for

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: Malik Willis to get his first start in Green Bay

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: just a few weeks after it was acquired in a

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: trade from the Titans. Here's what Malik Willis had to

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: say about that possibility.

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: Just trying to put in as much time as I

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: need to feel comfortable and just make sure that whenever

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: my number is called, I'm ready. Whether Jordan can go

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: or he can't, you know, just try to be ready

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: regardless because even if he can go, I have to

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: be ready.

38
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: Just as last week, you know, you mentioned all these

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: different offenses that you've got an opportunity to learn in

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: the league. Has that helped you for this kind of

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: quick turnaround with this offense? And what is the secret?

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: Was the key to learning an offense on the fly?

43
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't say it hurt, but more than anything,

44
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: it's just getting reps with those guys, and you know,

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: football's football at the end of the day, and you

46
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: just kind of find to carry over and connect the

47
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: dots for yourself and try to communicate with the coaches

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 3: and where the crossover was it it's messed up or

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: just not, you know what I mean, and just try

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: to see if we see it out the same set eyes.

51
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Malik Willis has three career NFL starts ian one and

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: two with the Titans back in twenty twenty two, no touchdown, passes,

53
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: three interceptions in those games. He's got a world of

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: ability here. Also having to get a crash course, I

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: would anticipate Matt Lafleur has you know, a game plan

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: about the size of a pamphlet here, Hey, figure out

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: what he does, well, find a way ride that defense

58
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: and ride that running game. What do you anticipate with

59
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: Malik Willis in Green Bay?

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 5: But first of all, I do anticipate Malik Willis being

61
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 5: out there. I know you guys all do to Matt

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 5: Lakefloor doing what I think a lot of coaches do,

63
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 5: which is keeping the door open for an injured player

64
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 5: who obviously wants to play, knowing that it is almost

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 5: certainly not going to happen. So the anticipation is that

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 5: Malik Willis will be the starter this week and probably

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 5: the next several weeks. So this is a daunting task

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 5: for Malik Willison. Just consider where he came from. Right

69
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 5: coming out, I think a lot of us thought he

70
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 5: was going to be a first round pick. He was not.

71
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 5: He was a third round pick, more of a developmental

72
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 5: quarterback than anything else. Then earlier this training camp, he

73
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 5: was in a battle in Tennessee for the number two

74
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 5: spot with Mason Rudolph, ended up not winning that got

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 5: shipped to Green Bay to kind of restart his career.

76
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: He lands in a great place. Malafour is very very

77
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 5: good at this. In fact, so much of what we

78
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 5: see from Jordan Love is obviously Jordan Love's ability, but

79
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 5: Matlafour in that offensive staff teaching him, they have their

80
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 5: work cutout froim with Malik Willison, not just because he's

81
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 5: been up and down in his career, he's only been

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: there two plus weeks. Getting him to function in this

83
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: offense is going to be a challenge. But you mentioned

84
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 5: in the natural ability, I mean Malik wills certainly has

85
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 5: an arm. He can run, he is athletic. If the

86
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: play breaks down, he can kind of take it into

87
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 5: his own hands. There are things there that he can

88
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 5: use to his advantage. If he doesn't have one hundred

89
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 5: percent grasp of the playbook is a challenge. It is

90
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 5: also an unbelievable opportunity for Malik wills to restart his

91
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 5: career in Green Bay.

92
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: Well, Tom, you said it.

93
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 6: I mean it is presumably going to be a very

94
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 6: scaled down playbook going into this game. You would think

95
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 6: that they would probably take advantage of his legs put

96
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 6: him on the move. I can't imagine they're going to

97
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 6: ask him to air it out a ton, maybe put

98
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 6: some plays in to get some nice short passes in there,

99
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 6: to get into a rhythm and to keep the defense

100
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 6: back to maybe open up some running lengths. And then

101
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 6: they are going to rely on the fact that the

102
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 6: Packers are a really good team, lean on the defense,

103
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 6: run the ball, play good special teams, and basically just

104
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 6: ask Malik Willis to make a few plays and not

105
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 6: make any catastrophic errors. That's a formula that the Packers

106
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 6: can win with. And clearly the fact that they did

107
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 6: not bring in another veteran quarterback to try to get

108
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 6: somebody up to speed suggests, first of all that they

109
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 6: think Jordan Love is going to be back on the

110
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 6: shorter side of the time range, and that they think

111
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 6: they can piece it together with Malik Willison get enough

112
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 6: out of him, and that he is not going to

113
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 6: make mistakes that they can win a few games while

114
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 6: they wait for Jordan Love.

115
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 7: Unfortunately for Malik Willis, Baker Mayfield ruined it for everybody

116
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 7: playing on short notice when he showed up and played

117
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 7: like five minutes later for the Rams to beat the

118
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 7: Raiders in that game two years ago. He had certainly

119
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 7: more starting experience to draw upon at the time than

120
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 7: Malik Willis does for sure.

121
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: So yeah time, you're right.

122
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 7: I mean, you know a thin game plan right here,

123
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 7: and just play to his strengths. If you've got to

124
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 7: make the same call multiple times in the game, you

125
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 7: do that. You do whatever you have to do to

126
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 7: make sure that Malik Willis is comfortable.

127
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: You hope your defense shows up.

128
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 7: I mean a lot of times the defense, we know

129
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 7: what's happening on the other side of the ball. We

130
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 7: got you, okay, put it on us. So I expect

131
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 7: they spirited defensive performance from the Green Bay Packers here,

132
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 7: knowing that they've got to keep this team in the

133
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 7: game and make sure that there's not too much pressure

134
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 7: on molik.

135
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 8: Wells to do too much.

136
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: It is the hole opener for the Packers on Sunday

137
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts. Packers fans have an extra brop,

138
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: maybe an extra beer, and buckle up because it is

139
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. Meanwhile, the Bengals travel to face

140
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs this week as they try to

141
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: rebound from a pretty surprising loss in Week one against

142
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The social media doctors and detectives had a

143
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts about Joe Burrow flexing that risk at

144
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: times as he comes back from a season ending surgery

145
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: a year ago, though Burrow does not seem overly concerned

146
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: about his status ian what do we know?

147
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 5: What we know is that Joe Burrow is healthy, right,

148
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: I mean not just he told us he's healthy, but

149
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 5: he is healthy. Sounds like he's throwing it well in

150
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: the judge from the just the way the ball came

151
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 5: out of his hand during the game, he looks like

152
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow of a. I do expect him also to

153
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 5: look better as the season goes on. What's interesting here

154
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 5: to me is not just that it almost well it

155
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 5: almost feels like Joe Burrow has to reprove himself to everyone.

156
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 5: I mean that's been sort of the discourse here. It's

157
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 5: like we all forgot how good he is. Missed last

158
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: year with a really really serious risk injury, took a

159
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 5: long time to come back. I know it was not

160
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 5: one hundred percent in the spring. It's almost like people

161
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 5: want to say, like, are we sure this is still

162
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow. The other thing is when you have an injury,

163
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 5: when you have a serious injury of surgery, it's not

164
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 5: going to feel like it did last time. He can

165
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: be one hundred percent, he can be absolutely cleared, no

166
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 5: issues at all, and the risk still doesn't feel normal,

167
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: just like if you have knee surgery, the knee doesn't

168
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: feel normal. That is just regular and being what it's like.

169
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 5: So the fact that Joe Burrow has to keep flexing

170
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 5: it and keeping it warm, making sure it's still connected,

171
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 5: that is okay. I would expect this team to still

172
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 5: be very, very good and for eventually some of these

173
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 5: doubters and questions to be like, okay's still the same guy.

174
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: Didn't see any video of Bengals fans hanging over the

175
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: fences outside the loading dock at pay Course Stadium. To heckle,

176
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow did get video of the same thing happening

177
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: to Daniel Jones outside MetLife Stadium after last week's game.

178
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: We won't play in the audio here, but fair to

179
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: say there were a few things said to Daniel Jones

180
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: that I don't know, adult man, maybe he shouldn't say

181
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: to another adult man in any setting here, but that's

182
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: where we are, and here's what Daniel Jones had to

183
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: say about let's just call it a little bit of

184
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: the criticism he's faced coming off week one.

185
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: I'm not fan. You know, they're upset and frustrated, and

186
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 4: we're frustrated too, So I understand that. I'm not easily offended.

187
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 4: I understand you know how it works, and no, I

188
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: got to play better. We all got to play better.

189
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: I feel like I've been doubted.

190
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 9: Plenty for a long time, and I've dealt with that

191
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 9: time and time again and done a good job with it.

192
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 9: So I'm not I think my mental toughness is in

193
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 9: a good spot and I'm not concerned about that.

194
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: You can call Danny Dimes, Danny Pennies all you want.

195
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: Judy really should call them Danny millions, because there are

196
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: millions of guaranteed reasons to believe that Daniel Jones going

197
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: to get every opportunity to continue playing for the Giants

198
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: through the course of the season. He's also a guy

199
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: who's coming off of a toward acl what did you

200
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: make at the performance and also the reaction to it.

201
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, Daniel Jones is a much better

202
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 6: person than I am, because I would certainly not have

203
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 6: reacted as well as he did to the way fans behaved,

204
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 6: which was just trash.

205
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: I mean you said, would you have done?

206
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 6: Adults should not be talking to ridiculous Adults should not

207
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 6: be talking to other adults that way, nor should children

208
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 6: for that matter. Anyway, obviously, Daniel Jones has to play better.

209
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 6: The whole operation has to be better. No facet of

210
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 6: the Giants game worked the way they wanted it to work.

211
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: We should note this.

212
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 6: Malik Neighbors just popped up on the injury report today

213
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 6: as limited in practice with a knee, so that certainly

214
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 6: bears watching, and that sure won't make Daniel jones assignment

215
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 6: against the Commanders any easier. They have to get this

216
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 6: offense into a rhythm. He's got to get some completion.

217
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 6: The offense looked nothing like we thought it was going

218
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 6: to look when we were in training camp, when we

219
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 6: kept hearing about that they wanted to push the ball

220
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 6: downfield and get some big chunk plays.

221
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: None of that.

222
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 6: It was a very conservative sort of short passing game

223
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 6: that Brian dave Ball called. The defense did not look

224
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 6: particularly good. Nothing about the Giants was impressive last Sunday.

225
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 6: If there is solace to be taken, it is that

226
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 6: even when the Giants have had years that they've struggled,

227
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 6: they've typically had good results against the Commanders, and that's

228
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 6: their opponent this weekend. So this is a chance for

229
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 6: them to write the ship and maybe quiet the fans

230
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 6: down at least for a.

231
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: Week and again.

232
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones the first game coming back from his knee injury.

233
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray knows what it's like to come back from

234
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: a signal for get knee injury. He had a good

235
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: chunk of time missed part of the twenty twenty three season.

236
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: He's been fully healthy, but did pop up on the

237
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: injury report on Wednesday because of a knee issue. The

238
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Cardinals listed him as a full participant in practice, so

239
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: no cause for concern at this point. There there is

240
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: so some concern for I don't know, some fantasy players

241
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: you might have overdrafted Marius Marvin Harrison Junior.

242
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: Why aren't you throwing them the ball? Kyler.

243
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say they were just taking him away. I think,

244
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 10: you know, I would just as a quarterback.

245
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 4: Obviously you go up to your reads.

246
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 10: Sometimes the ball goes to him, but that's not you know,

247
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 10: it's not my job. Obviously. You know, I have a

248
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 10: I have a sense and a feel for guys when

249
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 10: they don't get the ball, when they're you know, when

250
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 10: they are getting the ball. But you know, I'll leave

251
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 10: that up to Drew. You know, Drew always, you know,

252
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 10: he tells me, don't worry about that type of stuff.

253
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 10: Just keep playing your game and you know, get the

254
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 10: ball to where the ball is supposed to go.

255
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: I can remember covering Justin Jefferson's first NFL game. I

256
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: did a bunch of reports on game day morning about Hey,

257
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin's talking him up.

258
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: To me, this guy's being a superstar.

259
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: He had like two catches for twenty three yards and

260
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: everybody's going, oh yeah, nice start. The next week he

261
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: absolutely goes up it takes a minute sometimes here, Ian

262
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't expect anything other from Kyler Murray than

263
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: saying I'm gonna throw the ball to the guys who

264
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: are open.

265
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase ruined this for everyone. I feel like, I mean,

266
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 5: coming out and being just a superstar. His rookie year

267
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 5: made us all think that it's normal if rookie receivers

268
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 5: come out and have an immediate impact, it's not normal.

269
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 5: More normal is like this right here, where you're a

270
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 5: star in college, you go out, you try to do

271
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 5: the same thing in the NFL, and it's not quite

272
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 5: the same. And you know, in college, Marvin Harrison was

273
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 5: plenty fast. In the NFL, it seems just based on

274
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 5: the time speeds that been out there, has not played

275
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 5: as fast, maybe because he's still figuring out what to do,

276
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 5: where to go, what to play is all of the things.

277
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: I mean, look, there have been plenty of times when

278
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 5: he is open. He's always going to have times where

279
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 5: he's open, right, And I think for Kyler Murray and

280
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 5: for everyone else, what you need to do. I mean, look,

281
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 5: he's right, clearly right open there. Kyler missed him, Okay.

282
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 5: I think what he means is he needs to go

283
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 5: through the reads and figure out who's the best person

284
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: to throw to. And look, Tom, you mentioned it. The

285
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 5: fact that people drafted him in the first round of

286
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 5: Fantasy just ams up the anticipation excitement. But it is

287
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 5: not normal for a rookie receiver to be a superstar

288
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: right away. Everyone needs to breathe.

289
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: So Ian says, Jamar Chase ruined Week one for all

290
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: workie receivers. Mike says Baker Mayfield ruined the quarterback short

291
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: notice start for all future quarterbacks. Here, Hassan Reddick's ruining

292
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: a few things, including his bank account right now losing

293
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars per game missed, as he still

294
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: has not at this point before to the New York

295
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Jets watching the game.

296
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: The other night.

297
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: You also can certainly make the argument that maybe it

298
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: ruined the pass rush.

299
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 2: At least to a certain degree for New York.

300
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: Mike, There's all kinds of financial reasons at some point

301
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: for Hassan Reddick to show up to this point, he

302
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: has not heeded those financial reasons.

303
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 2: Where do we go from here? As Week two loops.

304
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 7: We continue to go down the road in which the

305
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 7: Jets are not willing to negotiate till he gets in,

306
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 7: and he's not willing to come in until he gets

307
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 7: a new deal, And those things don't add up to

308
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 7: him showing up anytime in the near future. Both sides

309
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 7: seen to.

310
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: Still be dug in right now.

311
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 7: You know, you look at that game the other night

312
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 7: and say, yeah, I could have used some edge help.

313
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 7: Could it also used some defensive tackles that we're playing

314
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 7: better inside, could have also used some offensive linemen. I

315
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 7: mean like, it's not like the Jets were only Hassan

316
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 7: Reddick away from winning that game, basically.

317
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: And I would say, the way the.

318
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 7: Schedule lines up, if the Jets can win some of

319
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 7: these winnable games in the next couple of weeks, that's

320
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 7: only going to further their case to be like, look,

321
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 7: we're just going to go with what we've got. We're

322
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 7: focused on the guys who are here, which is the

323
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 7: phrasing that Robert Sala used a couple of weeks ago

324
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 7: when asked if he was reaching out to Hassan Redick.

325
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 7: So it doesn't look like there's an end insight in

326
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 7: the near future. As we get closer to I don't know,

327
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 7: the trading deadline, and this is still going on. Perhaps

328
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 7: we'll have a different conversation then, but now it is

329
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 7: just continuing what it's been for Hassan Redick and the Jets.

330
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: Well. But here's the problem. If the Jets, first of all,

331
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: have shown no signs at all of being willing to

332
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: trade him or move on from anything. But if they do,

333
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: how could a team trade for him knowing they don't

334
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 5: want to give him an extension, which the Jets have

335
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 5: not been willing to do because he hasn't shown up.

336
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 5: But it's I mean, it's a transfer of the same issue,

337
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 5: and I don't know how much he'd be worth to

338
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: another team anyway. The best case for everyone is that

339
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 5: Hassan Reddick shows up for the Jets, and you're right,

340
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 5: they definitely had some pass rush issues there. If they

341
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 5: win a bunch of games, if the defense looks good,

342
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 5: and it should it's really good defense, they got a

343
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 5: good coordinator, there's a lot of good things there, then

344
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 5: it doesn't help us on Ready, they go out and

345
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 5: lose this week and it looks like they need edge help.

346
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 5: Maybe the leverage shifts to him a little bit. And

347
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: we have seen some not a lot, but we've seen

348
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 5: some you know, players benefit from a team having a

349
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 5: slow starter. They if they hold out. I mean, obviously

350
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: the EMT Smith example from a long time ago is

351
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 5: the one that comes to mind. Als remember Cam Chanceller

352
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: holding out Seahawks Efens being good and being like, all right,

353
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 5: I guess I guess I'm just going to come back.

354
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 5: Still no end in sight here, but the way it

355
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 5: plays out on the field will have an impact on

356
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: how it eventually gets resolved.

357
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 6: Well, the Jets sacked brock Party twice, but both of

358
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 6: the sacks came from the secondary, not from the defensive line.

359
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 6: And we can get into the run defense. That's an

360
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 6: entirely separate topic. That's an even bigger issue than the

361
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 6: pass rush. Having said that, they've got three what look

362
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 6: on paper to be winnable games coming up, and certainly

363
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 6: if the Jets exit September three and one or two

364
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 6: and two, first of all, they're going to feel a

365
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 6: whole lot better than they do coming off that beating

366
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 6: they took in San Francisco. But second of all, as

367
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 6: you said, like then the leverage sort of ships to

368
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 6: the team. Again, it certainly would not be with Hassan Redika.

369
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 6: We have been saying this for a month is this

370
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 6: is one of the oddest situations we can remember seeing.

371
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 6: He seems to be dug in, the team seems to

372
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 6: be dug in, and now that the games have started,

373
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 6: it really is going to be the results that you

374
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 6: would think week to week shift the leverage. It's hard

375
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 6: for me to imagine how this ends unless something swings

376
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 6: dramatically in one of the directions.

377
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: Jets at Titans on Sunday in week two. I never

378
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: want to say there's a must win game in week two,

379
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: but if the Jets start oing two going into a

380
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: Thursday at home game against the Patriots, watch out, the

381
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: back pages will be in full on panic mode. The

382
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: trade deadline, By the way, November fifth a date you

383
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: should remember.

384
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: For absolutely no other reasons.

385
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, the Ravens trying to bounce back from their

386
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: own Week one performance. Here in week two they're going

387
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: to take on the Ravens. Let's go deep inside that matchup.

388
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: What to expect from number eight, the raining NFL MVP.

389
00:17:48,080 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 11: Next on the Insiders, Lamar Jackson back at practice this.

390
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 5: Week on Wednesday, I think there was a little bit

391
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 5: of a scare On Monday, Lamar Jackson wasn't there.

392
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: Everyone was like, wheresda, where's he?

393
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 12: Say?

394
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, we'll find he was at practice Wednesday, not

395
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 5: even on the injury report, I would say, dealing with

396
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 5: General Sorenish, just considering how many times he was hit

397
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 5: the previous week. Something for sure that we will be

398
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 5: keeping her eye on through the season. One thing we

399
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 5: do need to keep her eyeing is how unbelievable Lamar

400
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 5: Jackson is. Don't take my word for it. Listen to

401
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 5: DeVante Adams tell us all about it.

402
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 13: Going into my twenty one season, I felt like that

403
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 13: was the area of broken tackles, was the area that

404
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 13: I really wanted to focus on and push it and

405
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 13: make better. And I was literally finding myself watching Lamar

406
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 13: Jackson highlights like in my locker before the games, like, dude,

407
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 13: change the game. He's the best, in my opinion, best

408
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 13: ball carrier ever. You know, no matter what position you

409
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 13: want to talk about, I don't think anybody's as big

410
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 13: as a threat to carrying the football. So and obviously

411
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 13: he can. You know, he's worked really hard to developing

412
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 13: the other parts of his game as well, and you've

413
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 13: seen that come a long way too. So he's a

414
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 13: he's a huge threat somebody you gotta take the accountable

415
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 13: for out there and make sure you know what he's

416
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 13: doing and you know, getting onto the on the film

417
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 13: at that and obviously I don't have to worry about that, but.

418
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, a football player.

419
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 5: Not bad for a running back? Is that where I

420
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: said that? No, Deavanta Adams means nothing but praise for

421
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson as it bringing. My good friend Steve Wich

422
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 5: will be actually at that game covering Raiders Ravens this week.

423
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 5: All right, we heard Davante who I mean, that was

424
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 5: about as good as praise as you could possibly get

425
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 5: from an opponent. We heard Devonte talk about Lamar Jackson

426
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 5: his unbelievable talents. We saw it on the field against

427
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 5: the Chiefs. It was a lot a lot of Lamar Jackson,

428
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: a lot of carries, a lot of throws, a lot

429
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 5: of hits. Is this an issue for the Ravens going forward?

430
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 5: How can they kind of like ease back on him

431
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 5: a little bit on Sunday and going Well, it's.

432
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 14: Not necessarily an issue. But look, he had sixteen carries.

433
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 14: You threw the ball forty one times. That's fifty seven touches.

434
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 14: As the primary ball handler. So to speak, out of

435
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 14: the seventy four plays the Ravens ran, that's a little

436
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 14: too much. So I spoke to tight end Isaiah Likely

437
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 14: today and he said, first off, Devonte Adams hit the

438
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 14: nail on the head. With Lamar being such a dynamic

439
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 14: dual threat, you have to account for him in every

440
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 14: way when he has his hands on the ball. That said,

441
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 14: people with the Ravens are telling me they've got to

442
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 14: get number twenty two Derrick Henry a little bit more involved.

443
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 2: He have thirteen carries in the opener.

444
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 14: They say it is still a work in progress getting

445
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 14: Henry going because he's not used to playing with a

446
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 14: quarterback that's primarily out of the shotgun and the pistol

447
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 14: doesn't seem like a big hurdle.

448
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: But they want to get.

449
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 14: The run game going, and they're facing a Raiders defense

450
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 14: that surrendered one hundred and seventy six rushing yards against

451
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 14: the Chargers in Week one, so they are confident they

452
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 14: can get an uptick in the ground game without Lamar

453
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 14: being the primary ball carrier.

454
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 5: Ian all right, so I heard Derreck Henry more touches

455
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 5: good for me for my fantasy. My son Max also

456
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 5: has him in his league. Good for him as well.

457
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 5: Took note of that you mentioned Isaiah Likely. Isaiah Likely

458
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 5: was a massive story in the real world, but also

459
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: in the fantasy world. Everybody was clamoring to claim him

460
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: on the waiver whire auction leagues. I know, we're offering

461
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 5: up just as much money as possible to get this guy.

462
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 5: We saw his connection with Lamar Jackson last year when

463
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 5: Mark Andrews was out. Man, it's like it accelerated. What

464
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 5: do we expect from the connection of Likely and Lamar

465
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 5: this season?

466
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, you don't necessarily know if coming up next week

467
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 14: he's going to get the twelve targets that he got

468
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 14: in week one, and a lot of that was due.

469
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: And this is speaking to Likely.

470
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 14: The Kansas City Chiefs paying so much attention to Mark Andrews.

471
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 14: In other words, they said, hey, if Isaiah Likely beats us,

472
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 14: we'll let him beat us.

473
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: Well he almost did, if not.

474
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 14: For having a toe out of bounds on the final

475
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 14: play of the game. That said, Likely was telling me

476
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 14: they've got to do a better job of spreading the wealth.

477
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: It was just a game situation.

478
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 14: Where he was the receiver who broke open with the

479
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 14: time of the player sitting here towards the end of

480
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 14: the game, and then when they went to the uptempo offense,

481
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 14: he was the guy who sprung open more. He figures

482
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 14: if they and this is likely, saying if they get

483
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 14: more people involved earlier in the game, that will take

484
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 14: attention off some of their primary people like Derrick Henry

485
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 14: and Mark Andrews and open up the field more for

486
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 14: those guys to do what they do the perennial Pro Bowlers.

487
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: But Isaiah likely he.

488
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 14: Is part of the fabric, especially with as much too

489
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 14: tight end as the Ravens run. So don't sit him

490
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 14: down on your fantasy team. And I think likely as

491
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 14: someone who's going to continue being a part of this

492
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 14: passing game and.

493
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 5: My fantasy believe me. I didn't get him on waivers.

494
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 5: I tried. Maybe I didn't offer as much or I

495
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 5: just didn't have the priority, but I tried in two

496
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: different leagues. Didn't get him. Kind of a bummer, but

497
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 5: I'm sure my opponents will really be excited about his

498
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 5: domination going forward. Anyway, Steve, great stuff, great insight, unlikely

499
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 5: and unlikely. Cannot wait for that game on Sunday, and

500
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 5: I let me send it over to my good friend

501
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 5: Judy be Tison.

502
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 6: You know, the biggest story of this week is that

503
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 6: Sarah Walsh and I will actually be together at this game,

504
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 6: Jets at Titans. Obviously, the Jets, as you just said

505
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 6: a few minutes ago, Tom said it, this is about

506
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 6: as big a must win game as you could have

507
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 6: in week two for the New York Jets. The Tennessee

508
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 6: Titans coming off a tough loss to second loss, let

509
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 6: me bring in Sarah Walsh joins the show. Sarah, Obviously

510
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 6: it did not end well, but the Titans defense looked

511
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 6: pretty good there in week one, and I wonder what

512
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 6: kind of challenge is Aaron Rodgers going to face with

513
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 6: this defense.

514
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 15: So you look at what the Jets did, and despite

515
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 15: coming off that loss, there clearly is not a sense

516
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 15: of panic. They feel like there were some really good

517
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 15: things that they could take out of that game. Aaron

518
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 15: Rodgers in particular, was really pleased with his past protection.

519
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 15: He did say that there were too many However, re

520
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 15: announced there was a lot of time for him standing

521
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 15: on the sidelines. He said, you know that obviously has

522
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 15: to change. That he needed to keep the ball moving there. However,

523
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 15: we understand that's a really really good Niners team. But

524
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 15: what they get in Tennessee when you look at the

525
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 15: record and go, okay, well they're oh on one. The

526
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 15: Titans defense a week ago was really good. In fact,

527
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 15: it was the defense that allowed the fewest yards in

528
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 15: the entire league in Week one, just one hundred and

529
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 15: forty eight total.

530
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: Yards allowed to Chicago.

531
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 15: The Titans had a seventeen to nothing lead and the

532
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 15: Bear stormback and won that game, but it wasn't because

533
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 15: they scored a single full offensive touchdown. And I was

534
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 15: talking to Kandre Diggs, the Titan safety, and he said,

535
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 15: we very much understand, however, that taking on an NFL

536
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 15: rookie who was getting his very first NFL stats is

537
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 15: going to be very different than taking on Aaron Rodgers,

538
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 15: who Digs called a legend. He said, this guy has

539
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 15: seen everything you can possibly throw at him.

540
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: He's going to adjust.

541
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 15: We are going to have to adjust. But when I

542
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 15: was talking to Rogers offensive tackle Morgan Moses today and

543
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 15: I said, give me a positive that you take out

544
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 15: of that game from the offensive side of the ball.

545
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 15: He was very specific, and probably because this was shown

546
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 15: to these guys, he said, you go back to the

547
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 15: first quarter in that game against the Niners, he said,

548
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 15: we had a twelve play, seventy yard drive that resulted

549
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 15: in that Reese Hall touchdown. And he told me, this

550
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 15: is what we can be.

551
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: This is what we are going to be.

552
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 15: And that drive that you saw there, he said, that

553
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 15: is going to be the standard. Now they're going to

554
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 15: have to take that standard duty, of course, and travel

555
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 15: to Nashville with it.

556
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 6: Well, Sarah, you mentioned the Bears came storming back, not

557
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 6: really because of their offense. One of the reasons they

558
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 6: came storming back is because we'll let us through a

559
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 6: very unfortunate interception. He said, he threw the game away,

560
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 6: and Brian Callahan has had some very interesting remarks about

561
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 6: the offense's play since then. What do they want to

562
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 6: see out of Levis in Week two to sort of

563
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 6: indicate where he is after that shaky performance.

564
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 15: Billie, Aaron Rodgers is going to get all the headlines,

565
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 15: but if you're a Titans fan and in Nashville on Sunday,

566
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 15: all eyes are going to be watching how that Titans

567
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 15: quarterback will respond. Clearly, what they want him to do

568
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 15: is be smart with the football. And you mentioned some

569
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 15: of Callahan's comments. He at one point said because of

570
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 15: the league, because of how good his defense was playing.

571
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 15: He said, if we would have gone out there obviously

572
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 15: in the second half and just punted on first and ten,

573
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 15: he said, we might.

574
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: Have won that game.

575
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 15: So he didn't really gloss over the mistakes that Levis made,

576
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 15: and he said, I understand that those mistakes can weigh

577
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 15: heavily on a guy. He said, they even weighing heavily

578
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 15: on me. But if you want to turn your attention

579
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 15: to the positive, he said that Levis is as tough

580
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 15: as they come. He responded, well, he has responded well

581
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 15: in practice this week. I spoke to his receiver, Tyler Boyd.

582
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 15: Boy told me that he reached out to Levis on

583
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 15: Monday after that game, and he said, I just wanted

584
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 15: to reach out tell him we have his back, We

585
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 15: have all the confidence in the world with him. And

586
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 15: he said the mental part of Levis is there, but

587
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 15: he has to know that the guys around him believe

588
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 15: in him.

589
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: He said that they know.

590
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 15: That that game is over. They cannot get it back,

591
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 15: but they do believe. Things will be different this week

592
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 15: also on offense, which will be a little bit differently

593
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 15: as Deander Hopkins was on the field, it was for

594
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 15: all of seventeen snaps. Calahan this week said that you'll

595
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 15: see his workload increase this week. He said, where they're

596
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 15: going to be this Sunday as opposed to last Sunday

597
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 15: with Hopkins who is battling who has been battling a

598
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 15: knee injury throughout this preseason and over the summer. He said,

599
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 15: there should be a big difference there to give Levis

600
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 15: some options, but obviously all eyes on Levis to see

601
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 15: how he responds to clearly a game that he would

602
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 15: like to have back from Week one.

603
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 6: It feels like very high stakes for both teams for

604
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 6: a Week two game. I look forward to being there

605
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 6: with you, Sarah, look forward to being in Nashville. Thanks

608
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 6: about Seattle's start. They travel all the way east to

609
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 6: play the Patriots this weekend. Riqual And coming up next

610

Speaker 6: on the Insiders.

611
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: Pretty good start for the Seahawks last week against the Broncos,

612
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: taking on a rookie quarterback in bo Nix, and well,

613
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,359

Speaker 1: in particular along with Devin Witherspoon.

615
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 2: The two of them.

616
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: Lockdown in Week one, certainly a good sign as they

617
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: move forward into the twenty twenty four NFL seasons.

618
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: You see some stats right there.

619
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: A fourteen point six fascerrating aloud. If they can keep

620
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: that up, that might be a record. We're please be

621
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: joined right now here on the Insiders by Rike Wollan

622
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: with us from Renton, Washington, along with me, Tom Peliicero

623
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: and he and rapport Riek.

624
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: Always good to get a win out of the gate here.

625
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: How are the vibes around that Seahawks building right now?

626
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 16: Uh, you know there's a lot of high energy and

627
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 16: stuff like that. You know, it's amazing to start the

628
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 16: season off with a win, for sure, and it build

629
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 16: is that confidence and it's a step in the right direction.

630
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 8: So we're just gonna build on it.

631
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 16: And you know, this week versus the Patriots, we're gonna

632
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 16: go out there and play hard and you know, play

633
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 16: the team.

634
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 5: You know, Rike, we showed that graphic coming in the

635
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 5: kind of tandem that you have been. You and Witherspoon

636
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 5: both h two of the better young corners in the

637
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 5: NFL and obviously showed that last week. He's really good.

638
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 5: You're really good. Do you guys play off each other?

639
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 5: Do you compete with each other? Do you help each other?

640
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 5: How does that sort of partnership work and play out

641
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 5: on the field.

642
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 16: Honestly, you know, we just play off each other. You know,

643
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 16: he's a more vocal guy. He's an energizer, you know,

644
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 16: and you know he brings a great energy to the room. So,

645
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 16: you know, us two being out there together, you know,

646
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 16: it's a lot of fun for and whenever I make

647
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 16: a play, you know, he cheers for me, whenever he makes.

648
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 8: A playoff cheers for him.

649
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 16: And you know, we just build off each other and

650
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 16: it helps our confidence, you know, just me and him,

651
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 16: but also as a dB group.

652
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: Tell me about that defense as a whole riek because obviously,

653
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, you play good football under Pete Carroll. You

654
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: a Rookie of the Year finalist a couple of years ago. Now,

655
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald's changed up a lot of things from a

656
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: schematic perspective. Obviously there's things culturally they're different too, But

657
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: in terms of just that defense, what's he asking you

658
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: to do and why?

659
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: So far as it seemed like it's been pretty effective.

660
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 16: Just because you know, defense starts up front, and I

661
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 16: feel like, you know, our d line this game, they

662
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 16: played very well and and Coach McDonald's defense, you know,

663
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 16: the d lin is supposed to thrive, and it showed

664
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 16: this week.

665
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 8: And whenever the.

666
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 16: D lin plays well, we get to playoff of them

667
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 16: and it makes the secondary look good. And you know,

668
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 16: they just go hand and hand for real. So in

669
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 16: this game, you know, the big guys make it go,

670
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 16: and us on the back end, you know, we just

671
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 16: do our jobs and we finish it up and whatever

672
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 16: gets to us, we clean it up.

673
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 5: You know, Rik, You've had interesting trajectory lay round pick

674
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 5: burst onto the scene as a rookie, I mean, really

675
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 5: became one of the best young corners in the NFL,

676
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 5: despite the fact that I'm not sure a lot of

677
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 5: people honestly had heard of you as a rookie last year.

678
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 5: Coming I know you had the knee injury, but you

679
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 5: know a little more of a struggle last year. I

680
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 5: was there in training, but I know Tom was as

681
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 5: well heard the same thing. This guy looks really really good.

682
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 5: What has been the difference coming back this year? Maybe

683
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 5: compared to last year and obviously you're playing.

684
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 8: Week one showed it, honestly, just getting those reps.

685
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 16: You know, last year, I didn't even get to do

686
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 16: training count, you know, and I feel like as a

687
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 16: young player, you got to get those reps.

688
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 8: You gotta get.

689
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 16: Those that routine down for real, and training camp is

690
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 16: a key role for real, especially.

691
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 8: When it comes to being on the team.

692
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 16: So I got to do training camp this year, and

693
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 16: you know, prior to trying to count, you know, I

694
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 16: did work my butt off.

695
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 8: You know, I was in.

696
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 16: Florida and I was training hard every day, and even

697
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 16: the little things like just being in the weight room

698
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 16: getting my strength together, and then stuff is just like

699
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 16: on the field, like my technique and press and just

700
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 16: being in off coverage being comfortable to be able to

701
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 16: do that. You know, I made sure I honed on that,

702
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 16: holding honed in on that a lot this all season,

703
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 16: and so far has been showing through our training camp,

704
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 16: and it showed week one, and I'm pretty sure it's

705
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 16: going to show her rest of the season as well.

706
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: Rick, You're twenty five years old.

707
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: You're wearing right now, You're wearing like the current Seahawks

708
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: logo with the Neon green Ian and I are old

709
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: enough to remember when those throwbacks you were last week

710
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: were like just the normal Seahawks uniform honestly top five

711
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: in the league to me, what do you guys think

712
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: in the locker room about that look you had last week?

713
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, everybody loves you know. We wish we can

714
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 16: wear it every game for real. I know when I

715
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 16: play Madden, she I were the throwback uniforms every game.

716
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 16: So I know the guys love it. And you know,

717
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 16: whenever we do put those jerseys on, you know, we

718
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 16: take a lot of dignity into it just because you know,

719
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 16: those those are the uniforms that we were back in

720
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 16: the day, and you know, previous Seahawkers from back in

721
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 16: the day Seahawks players. You know, whenever they see us

722
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 16: wearing them now and we do great themes, go out

723
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 16: there and make plays and we actually win in them.

724
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 16: You know, I'm pretty sure they actually smiling just because

725
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 16: it took a minute for these jerseys to come back.

726
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 5: I mean, just so you know, when we took a

727
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 5: little bit of a quick pull on this show, which

728
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 5: is the best throwback uniforms that was? That was my favorite,

729
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 5: Just just so you know, yeah, another question for you.

730
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 5: I mean, how could they not be? And Tom saying

731
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 5: it's top five, he's in there too. One of the

732
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 5: things I was wondering and I kind of heard that

733
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 5: one of your teammates, I think it was DK kind

734
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 5: of took a social media cleanse, and I know you

735
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 5: kind of change the way you do your social media

736
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 5: as well. It is. It can be rough out there.

737
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 5: People say a lot of things. We all hear it.

738
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 5: Tell me how you've handled social media and how you've

739
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 5: handled some of the feedback from you know, some of

740
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 5: the fans.

741
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 16: I guess, honestly, I just learned not to care for real.

742
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 16: You know, I love social media. You know, even my

743
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 16: friends know that. I like to go in there and

744
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 16: watch funny videos. I like to look at Instagram reels

745
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 16: and you know, I got even group chats with my

746
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 16: friends and so what we can see and share funny videos.

747
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 16: But you know, as a young player, I just had

748
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 16: to learn you got to ignore that stuff. You know,

749
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 16: when I'm out or you know, how good you play

750
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 16: or how bad you play, they're gonna have something to

751
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 16: say anyway, So you know, you gotta learn to clear

752
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 16: all that out.

753
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 8: You know, how good of a player you are.

754
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 16: You know yourself better than anybody, so you can care

755
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 16: less with somebody else at the house got to say,

756
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 16: you know, just because they sitting behind the phone or

757
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 16: saying whatever for real. So I just learned to tune

758
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 16: that out. And you know, I got to be myself,

759
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 16: and me being myself that's all that's good enough for me.

760
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 16: So I don't care what anybody would say on social media,

761
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 16: and I feel like I've been doing great at that.

762
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: That leads me into maybe the most important question of

763
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: this interview. On all the Seahawks platforms, you're Reek ri

766
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: name says Reek with two ces. Can you clarify when

767
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: we when we have the lower third, it says reek grate.

768
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 2: There is that correct? What are we actually going with

769
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: these steps?

770
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 3: Oh?

771
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, Rec is good. Rieca's good. You know.

772
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 16: I just chose Ree just because that's why my friends

773
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 16: called me. You know, it's a nickname, and now I

774
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 16: just think it's cool, you know, just have a short abbreviation.

775
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 8: I don't know, I just thought it was cool for real.

776
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 8: But you know I on trip.

777
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 16: You call me to Rico or ric you know what

778
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 16: I'm saying because you know I'm gonna respond, and I

779
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 16: know that that that's my name. You know, that's what

780
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 16: I was born with. So you know, I'm not really

781
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 16: a picky guy. As long as I know you're talking

782
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 16: to me, you don't call me nothing crazy than were good.

783
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 16: So you know, I really don't trip if you call

784
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 16: me Ricord to ric.

785
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 5: All right, So since we're friends, we'll call you Reek.

786
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 5: I like that.

787
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 8: Uh.

788
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 5: You guys are playing the Patriots this week. Uh they

789
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 5: brought it last week. Uh you know, obviously with sort

790
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 5: of surprise win, but physically as well. Andre Stevenson carried

791
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 5: the ball I think a hundred times or so. That's

792
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 5: just an estimate. What are you expecting facing this Patriots

793
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 5: team this week?

794
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 16: Oh, you know they're gonna be a physical team. And

795
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 16: even their head coach even said, you know they're going

796
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 16: to run the ball and you gotta try to stop it. So, uh,

797
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 16: teams like that just as simple as that. You gotta

798
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 16: go in there with a hard hat and you got

799
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 16: to force them to play on one handed, you know,

800
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 16: and uh we gotta go out there and execute. We

801
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 16: gotta go out there and be discipline and play off

802
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 16: on each other and trust each other, you know, especially

803
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 16: when it comes to teams that do run the ball

804
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 16: or do gap scheme and certain run plays. So we're

805
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 16: gonna have to go out there stop the run. And

806
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 16: then once we do that, we can force them to

807
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 16: play one handed. And you know, me as a dB

808
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 16: and even in our dB room, we love when the

809
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 16: teams are able to pass the ball because we love

810
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 16: to cover, you know. So, uh, we've got force them

811
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 16: to play one handed and then we'll be good.

812
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: You can call Reek with two q's, I would just

813
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: call my guy. You probably don't want to throw at

814
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: on Sundays, Riek. Thanksalt for being here, man, We really.

815
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 8: Appreciate It's keep for having me.

816
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: All right.

817
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: Justin fields in line for another start with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

818
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: The Russell Wilson.

819
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: Says that Cap is feeling better and better. What's the

820
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: latest on the status of the Steelers QB one, We'll

821
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: discuss it right after this on the Insiders.

822
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Insiders.

823
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 6: That's the Lake willis out on the practice field for

824
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 6: the Green Bay Packers. He is expected to start this

825
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 6: week against the Colts because Jordan Love got hurt in Brazil.

826
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 6: Even though the Packers are leaving the door open to

827
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 6: the possibility, it seems kind of slim that Jordan Love

828
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 6: could play this week, but it looks more than likely

829
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 6: it's going to be Malik Willis.

830
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: At least for this week.

831
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 6: But coach Matt Lafour was at the podium. He talked

832
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 6: about his quarterback situation, including Jordan Love.

833
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 17: Oh, He's going to do everything he can to be

834
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 17: out there. He's been out there at practice and been engaged,

835
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 17: knows every play call. Is always coaching up Malike, coaching

836
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 17: up Sean is doing a good job with it. You

837
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 17: want your best players available to you, and when they're not,

838
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 17: then it's is. It can be challenging, especially the guy

839
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 17: that has been here a short period of time, but

840
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 17: it's one that we're going to embrace and we're going

841
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 17: to do everything in our power to put him in

842
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 17: the best possible position. And he's working really hard.

843
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 6: All right, it is time for our front office view.

844
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 6: So we have our front office guru, Mark Ross. That's

845
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 6: Mike Garrifolo. I am Judy Batista. Mark let's start with

846
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 6: the Packers situation. What kind of uphill battle is this

847
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 6: for Malik Willis to pick up this playbook with so

848
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 6: little time with this team.

849
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's always the tough part about Usually see a

850
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 12: veteran quarterback that has been around you signed this late.

851
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 12: You don't worry like they can pick it up. The

852
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 12: vernacular is different, the wording is different, but they can

853
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 12: do it. Malik Willis his whole situation coming out of

854
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 12: college with that he was so raw and he was

855
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 12: so under developed, and he had to play a lot

856
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 12: to learn the nuances of playing the quarterback position in

857
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 12: the NFL. Well, since he's been in the NFL, he

858
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 12: has not played much either at Tennessee and even last week.

859
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 12: So it's where what do you get from Malik Willis. Yes,

860
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 12: he's going to study hard, Yes he's going to prepare,

861
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 12: but there's just only so much volume that he can

862
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 12: grasp or really understand. At this stage in his career,

863
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 12: he's still learning, and now you throw him into an

864
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 12: entirely new situation that's even tougher. So what does Malik

865
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:18,959
Speaker 12: Willis do really?

866
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 8: Well?

867
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 12: He can run, He can run around, So I would

868
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 12: expect to see a lot of design plays for him

869
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 12: using what he does best, which is running. You don't

870
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 12: have to think when you're running, So I would expect

871
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 12: that for Malik Willis and the offense there. Of course

872
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 12: he's going to have to throw the ball to make plays,

873
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 12: but it's going to be super important for that Green

874
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 12: Bay defense to really step up and hold the explosive

875
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 12: Colts offense. We see what they could do last week

876
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 12: to keep the game in check. Because the Eagles offense,

877
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 12: I know they're one of the best in the league.

878
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 12: They did whatever they wanted to do against that Packers d.

879
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 12: So they really got to step up to help that

880
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 12: young man out.

881
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 7: Mark you're talking about Malik Willison, the Packers and the

882
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 7: Packers defense. A lot of these same concepts can be

883
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 7: applied to justin Fields and the Steelers. Now, it was

884
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 7: a bit of an odd situation last week when midway

885
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 7: through the week they figured out that Russell Wilson wasn't

886
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 7: going to be able to go with that CAF issue.

887
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 7: So they already had a package of plays for Fields.

888
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: They expanded upon it. They tailored the game plan toward him.

889
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 7: Again, a guy who can do a lot with his

890
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 7: legs made sure he was comfortable and leaned on that

891
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 7: defense to play well, and they did again a lot

892
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 7: of the things you're saying about Malique Willis well. Now

893
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 7: they've got a full week for Justin Fields here, as

894
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 7: Mike Tomam made it clear early in the week that

895
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 7: he was in line to start your thoughts.

896
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: On Field's debut.

897
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 7: What to expect hi week two and the question that

898
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 7: people are asking me, does he have a shot to

899
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 7: keep Russell Wilson on the bench, Because I believe that

900
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 7: he does well.

901
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 12: And from the minute they signed Justin Fields, I said,

902
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 12: this guy is a better option than Russell Wilson, just

903
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 12: because at this stage in his career, Russell Wilson was

904
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 12: completely limited. He's mostly checked downs.

905
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 2: That's what he does.

906
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 12: Now the last couple of years, and back in his

907
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 12: day and the NBA level, Russell Wilson, it was moving

908
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 12: around with his legs. I always thought Justin Fields gave

909
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 12: them the best opportunity to win because he can still

910
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 12: make plays with his arm and with his leg Is

911
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 12: he one hundred percent consistent?

912
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 5: No.

913
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 12: But the flip side we talked about the Packers d

914
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 12: the Steelers be can dominate teams as they did last week,

915
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 12: they can absolutely dominate teams. And when you are in

916
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 12: that position with the Steelers d dominating teams now on

917
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,479
Speaker 12: the flip side, for Justin fields, he's been there when

918
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 12: we were in camp there, Judy, you came today, the

919
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 12: day I was there, they were already happy with justin

920
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 12: fields and the ability to make plays. So the Russell

921
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 12: Wilson injury to me is a blessing in disguise for

922
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 12: the Steelers offense to make them play justin fields because

923
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 12: he gives them so much more than what Russell Wilson

924
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 12: could provide. And that look, you don't have to score

925
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 12: thirty points, you don't have to throw for three hundred yards.

926
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 12: All you have to do is hang back, make a

927
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 12: few key plays in the game, which he did last week,

928
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 12: while our defense dominates. That's the Steelers way, Mike Tomlins,

929
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 12: he can win like that. Now you got a guy

930
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 12: who can make plays better than the last the quarterbacks

931
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 12: they've had there in the last few years.

932
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 6: Well, obviously in Cincinnati they want the quarterback. They need

933
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 6: the quarterback to make plays. I think the biggest upset

934
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 6: of Week one was the Patriots beating the Bengals.

935
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: Slow starts are.

936
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 6: Routine, I'm sorry to say routine for the Bengals with

937
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow in the last few years, but certainly this

938
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 6: one was especially surprising. The offense really struggled their speculation

939
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 6: about him flexing his wrist, although he is healthy, he

940
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 6: practiced fully during training camp. Mark, what do you make

941
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 6: of the struggles of the Bengals offense and Burrow?

942
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 12: Right while the game was in real time doing Game

943
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 12: Day Live there with rhet We're like, this is the

944
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 12: upset of the week. But in retrospect, like, well, the

945
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 12: Bengals always lose Joe Burrow's one and four an opening

946
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 12: day games, so they should have just like, let's get

947
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 12: the week two or three before they get going. And then,

948
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 12: of course, as you mentioned the risk and gata a

949
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 12: bottlegate there Burrow with he can't lift the Gatoray bottles.

950
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 12: But he's coming out saying he's completely healthy, and I

951
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 12: would expect. Look, they've shown they can go into KC

952
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 12: and win. He's three and one against Patrick Mahomes. Joe

953
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 12: Burrow is in the Bengals, so you know their sight

954
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 12: he is. Yes, we can go in there and win.

955
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 12: I know we struggled week one, but we can get

956
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 12: this straightened out, and Joe Burrow and that organization has

957
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 12: that confidence. So I would expect them to rebound. This

958
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 12: is a tough task, of course against Case, but I

959
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 12: would expect them to get better. Get T Higgins on

960
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 12: the field, get Jamar Chase in a better mind set.

961
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 12: I think we'll see a little turnaround from the Bengals.

962
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 7: Marco Is in Atlanta on Sunday, we talked about the

963
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 7: fields on the other side of that game for Kirk

964
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 7: Cousins and the Falcons offense just didn't pass the eye test.

965
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 7: And I know a lot of folks are looking at

966
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 7: his footwork and saying, well, he's coming.

967
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 2: Off an Achilles. Doesn't look like he's right.

968
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 7: I mean, you can tell us whether or not you

969
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 7: saw that, But I would also be curious what your

970
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 7: thoughts are schematically, because this offense had Drake London for

971
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 7: Jon Robinson, Kyle Pitts, They've got weapons, and yet Pittsburgh

972
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 7: never really seemed to be threatened all game long by

973
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 7: Kirk Cousins in this passing gain.

974
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 12: Well, let's give Atlanta a little pass and that they're

975
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 12: playing one of the best defense and maybe the best

976
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 12: defense in the league.

977
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: So we'll give him a break on that.

978
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 12: But as you mentioned, Mike, the scheme, kirk Cousins has

979
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 12: always been best out of play action. At Michigan State,

980
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 12: he was like that, and since he's been in the NFL,

981
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 12: under center, play action, get it out there. They were

982
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 12: out of the shotgun ninety plus percent of the time

983
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 12: in that game. So it's like, we got this guy

984
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 12: who does this really well, Well, let's do the exact

985
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 12: opposite in there. But could that be that the achilles

986
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 12: is still not one hundred percent and he's not confident

987
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 12: getting up under.

988
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 5: Center handing out.

989
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 12: You've got to have a lot of movement to implement that,

990
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 12: especially when you've got two big time running backs that

991
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 12: you can hand it off to. So we'll look for

992
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 12: this week if they get more into that. What kirk

993
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 12: Cousins does best is under center, shotgun, if under center

994
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 12: play action, and if he's still in the shotgun a lot,

995
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 12: there may be something more to that.

996
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: He's not one hundred percent healthy.

997
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's going to be a problem because you've got

998
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 7: an Eagles team that was seemingly scoring at will at

999
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 7: times against the Packers. They're going to put points up.

1000
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 7: This offense has to be able to go toe to

1001
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 7: toe with them. On Monday, Mark Ross, thank you very much, man,

1002
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 7: appreciate it. Take care business up front, roll behind you.

1003
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 3: Guys, defense, fly round, Hey, how'd jam we do that?

1004
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 7: Let's go hey team.

1005
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: On three, Herbert expended so much energy there with that

1006
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: surprise speech that maybe that's why I only threw for

1007
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four yards. As we welcome in

1008
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: our Taylor Bashatti, Taylor. You spend a lot of time

1009
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: around that Chargers team. They're coming off of an impressive debut,

1010
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: albeit one in which they predominantly ran, which fits what

1011
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh wants to do.

1012
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 2: This week.

1013
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: They take out a Carolina team that had the opposite

1014
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: experience in Week one.

1015
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 2: Tell me about La and what you're expecting here as

1016
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 2: we move forward.

1017
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 18: Well, Tom, the Chargers looked exactly like you'd expect under

1018
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,479
Speaker 18: Jim Harball. It was a run first, physical game. Look,

1019
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 18: Jim Harball has done this before with the forty nine ers.

1020
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 18: He went out and took Joe Alt, the first rounder

1021
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 18: out of Notre Dame with the first overall, with the

1022
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 18: fifth overall pick, and then he went and scooped up

1023
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 18: two running backs too. Former Ravens running backs in JK.

1024
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 18: Dobbins and Gus Edwards, and on Sunday you saw it

1025
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 18: in full force. He was playing a physical game and

1026
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 18: running the ball. First, they had one hundred and seventy

1027
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 18: six rushing yards as opposed to the twenty twenty three

1028
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 18: season where they averaged ninety six rushing yards per game.

1029
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 18: And then you saw them physically wear the Raiders down

1030
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 18: in that second half, so much so that Harball had

1031
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 18: Scott met Matt Mattlocke on the field for eighteen plays

1032
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 18: the defensive lineman as a fullback. And that was not

1033
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 18: just a week one experiment. He's actually changed his number

1034
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 18: from ninety eight to forty four, so you're going to

1035
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 18: see him be able to play both ways. So you're

1036
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 18: already seeing the differences under Harball on the field, but

1037
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 18: there's also off the field differences. This week, they traveled

1038
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 18: to Carolina, like you said, but instead of coming back

1039
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 18: and coming home to LA, they're going to stay in Carolina,

1040
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 18: in Charlotte for the week as they prepare for Week

1041
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 18: three against the Steelers. And I was at the facility

1042
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 18: yesterday and normally guys, you know, don't like to be

1043
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 18: on the road that much away from their routines from home,

1044
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 18: but Harball has them so fired up to be in

1045
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 18: that hotel room, you would think that they were going

1046
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 18: away to sleep away camp with board game snacks, all

1047
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 18: the things. They can't wait to be there because they

1048
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 18: said they want to focus on football. It's almost like

1049
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 18: an extended version of training camp and just another way

1050
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 18: to show you how Harball is wired differently. Take a

1051
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 18: look at this video of him and Herbert before the

1052
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 18: game getting fired up.

1053
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 2: They're trying to go to.

1054
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 18: And zero for the first time since twenty twelve. Whatever

1055
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 18: Harball is selling, the players seem to be buying in.

1056
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: I love that Herbert. Listen, Jim Arba has been doing

1057
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: that forever. He did.

1058
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: It was for he iris quarter of actually did it Vichigan.

1059
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: Herbert just starts getting tapped. He's like, is this the hug?

1060
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: Are we No, we're not hugging. You're just getting hit

1061
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: me and no back here too.

1062
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 18: Okay, Well, washed worts figure it out and known that

1063
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 18: he was going to get up because I thought it

1064
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 18: was a weak one. God, but it wasn't.

1065
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: Week one across the board. Taylor, Thank you very much.
