Welcome inside with 16 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: the Insiders presented by Progressive Insure. It's alongside He and 17 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: Rappaboard and Judy Batiste. I am Tom Pelicero. Week sixteen 18 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 2: kicks off tomorrow night and we'll talk about that game 19 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: between the Rams and the Seahawks. We've got the latest 20 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: on the status of DeVante Adams. 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: But we do start in South Beach, where the. 22 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: Dolphins made a seismic move today officially confirming they have 23 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: bench quarterback two In talk about Loa and are turning 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: to rookie Quinn Yours beginning this Sunday against the Bengals, 25 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: So wats them seventeen months, had to sign a contract 26 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 2: extension to and now appears to be on the way out. 27 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel explained why he made the decision. 28 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 3: Ultimately, the team needs and I'm looking for conviction in 29 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: quarterback play and understanding that he is a rookie, you know, 30 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: I felt that he would play the position most convicted, 31 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 3: which is and which impacts every player on the field. 32 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: And you know, realistically, that's what I was looking for. 33 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: Needed more convicted play from the quarterback position. I thought 34 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 3: Quinn could deliver on that best. 35 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: It's a fascinating way to talk about this ian because 36 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: basically what you're saying is a rookie who is really 37 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: he got into a game, but he's never played meaningful 38 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: NFL snaps, is going to play with more conviction, more decisiveness, 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: to put another word out there, than the guy who's 40 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: been the starting quarterback for a handful of years, including 41 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: four under Mike McDaniel. How did we get here and 42 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: why in the big picture does it make sense for 43 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: the Dolphins to make this move now? 44 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, the fact that Mike McDaniel believes that Queen Ewers, 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 4: who is incredibly talented, had a ton of success in college. 46 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: But the fact that he believes quin Ewers, who has 47 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 4: barely played in the NFL, is a better option than 48 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 4: someone they believe there's been their franchise quarterback for the 49 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 4: last many many years is astounding and really huge news 50 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 4: for the Dolphins today, for the near future, for the 51 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: long term future. There's a lot to get to in this, 52 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 4: but just specifically here, the fact that Mike McDaniel wants 53 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 4: quin Ewers to play with more conviction. I took that 54 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 4: to mean more decisiveness. In other words, the offense has 55 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 4: not been running properly with two of making what have 56 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 4: not always been in the right raids. He has turned 57 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 4: the ball over way too often. When he thrived, when 58 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 4: he had that Pro Bowl season, he was like a 59 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 4: point guard, like dishing the ball around, letting the guys run. 60 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 4: It has not been that for some time. I also 61 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 4: took conviction to mean someone who has invested and really 62 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: cares about it. And that's just me extrapolating just a 63 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: little bit. But Quinn Ewers has so much to play 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 4: for his future and all that with the Dolphins not 65 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: in the playoffs, what would Tua Tago Balola have to 66 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 4: play for the fact that they would get meaningful football 67 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 4: from Quinn rather than Tua is just unbelievable. And really, 68 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 4: now you have to wonder one, can Mike McDaniel have 69 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 4: an offensive looks like it should? That would be great 70 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: news for everyone involved into what does the future hold 71 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: for two of their anything. 72 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: They also have quin you Weers under contract for three 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: more years and a fraction of the money that Tua 74 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 2: is still owed fifty four million dollars fully guaranteed in 75 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Whether or not he's actually earning that 76 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: as a quarterback with the Dolphins remains to be seen. 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: Tua did address reporters after the news. 78 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 5: We just had a brief conversation about the changing in 79 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 5: the quarterbacks. 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 6: I said, what was your reaction about Disappointed? 81 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not happy about it, but you know, 82 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 5: something out of my. 83 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 6: Contruck, where do you think this is happening. 84 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 5: I would say the biggest thing, and it's being honest 85 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 5: with myself as well, had been my performance. I haven't 86 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 5: been performing up to the level and the capabilities that 87 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 5: I have in past. 88 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: Jude, you feel like America has been on a journey 89 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: with Tuatunguava Loa based upon on specifically a prime time 90 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: concussion that he suffered. It was one of the scarier 91 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: scenes that we've seen on an NFL field. A lot 92 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: of people had opinions about whether Tous should play again. 93 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: He decided he wanted to play this season. He just 94 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: didn't play good enough. And now we've got a lot 95 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: of questions about where, if anywhere, is to a plane 96 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. 97 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 7: Well, right, the decision to bench him is just the 98 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 7: first decision that the Miami Dolphins have to make. Now 99 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 7: come even more difficult to decisions about how do you 100 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 7: proceed with him? What do you do with him? As 101 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 7: you mentioned, Tom, they owe him fifty four million dollars 102 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 7: guaranteed next season, which certainly complicates all decision making. You 103 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 7: have to think that their first option would be to 104 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 7: try to trade him. I don't know what the trade 105 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 7: market is going to look like. 106 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 8: For Tue. 107 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 7: He looked like a regressing player this year. He has 108 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 7: an extensive injury history, as you mentioned, a history of 109 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 7: concussions as well, And certainly the Dolphins would have to 110 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 7: pay some of that contract. I just I don't know 111 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 7: what they could expect to get in return. If they 112 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 7: could even find a willing trade partner. Could they just 113 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 7: release him, Yes, they could. It would be an enormous 114 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 7: cap hit. They could spread it over two years. That's 115 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 7: what the Denver Broncos did when they moved on from 116 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 7: Russell Wilson. They took a gigantic cap hit. They spread 117 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 7: it over two years, and by the way, they went 118 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 7: to the playoffs. Immediately they hit on a quarterback. They 119 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 7: got very lucky. They hit on a quarterback in the 120 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 7: draft who could play right away. That would certainly help 121 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 7: the Miami Dolphins. Or and this seems almost unfathomable at 122 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 7: this moment, he could still be on the Miami Dolphins, 123 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 7: perhaps as a bridge quarterback, as a backup. It would 124 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 7: be very awkward, It would be strange, but we have 125 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 7: seen it happen. Kirk Cousins is still on the Atlanta Falcons. 126 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 7: Deshaun Watson is still on the Cleveland Browns roster. We 127 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 7: have seen very, very expensive backup quarterbacks exist. 128 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 8: This is a very complicated situation going forward for the 129 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 8: Miami Dolphins and for two of and. 130 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is a very valid comparison too. He is 131 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: still on the book cap wise this year for Denver, 132 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: but they ate a lot of the money, all the 133 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: cash last year, a big chunk of the cap hit. 134 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: That's the same thing if the Dolphins were to cut 135 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: to a in March, use a post tune one designation 136 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: and keep at least some of that trouble out into 137 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. You take a look and other quarterbacks 138 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 2: who have been benched in December, in the case of 139 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson Derek Carr, those were moves that were made 140 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: in much the same way in terms of keeping options open, 141 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: not wanting a player on the field while you were 142 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: out of playoff contention who could get hurt and limit 143 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: your options as you look forward to the following season 144 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: two of going all the way from number one to 145 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: number three on the depth chart. As we welcome in 146 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: our Cameron wolf Zack Wilson. Cam had been the two 147 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: for most of this year other than one game in Cleveland. 148 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: But it's Quinn yours, the rookie now who takes over 149 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: the starting job. Take me through what you saw on 150 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: a daily basis when you were there at Dolphins camp 151 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: from yours and why he's the guy at this particular 152 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: juncture for that franchise. 153 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 9: Yes, fresh blood Quinney Ewrris gives them a shot, gives 154 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 9: them a chance to evaluate a young player they drafted. 155 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: For the next three games. 156 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 9: When I saw him in camp, he had some up 157 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 9: and down periods, but you saw when he got into 158 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 9: game like action, he had sort of a gamer mentality, 159 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 9: and that's what they're hoping. They put him in this 160 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 9: situation to see do we have something for twenty twenty six. 161 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 9: But look, a large portion of this is about Mike McDaniel. 162 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 9: We talk about the decision for TUA, We talk about 163 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 9: the decision earlier this year to move on from the GM. 164 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 9: They still have to make a decision if Mike McDaniel 165 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 9: is coming back for twenty twenty six, and so he 166 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 9: wants to get a guy who can go out there, 167 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 9: get the ball out of his hands quickly, can help 168 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 9: them potentially show fight to owner Stephen Ross to decide 169 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 9: that maybe this can be the guy we bring back 170 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 9: from twenty twenty six. It's also going to be interesting 171 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 9: to see how Mike McDaniel functions and running an offense 172 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 9: that is not featuring toa He did a lot to 173 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 9: put this offense around to it it started to break down. 174 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 9: Can we see a world in twenty twenty six where 175 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 9: Mike leads a new identity, a new offense without this 176 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 9: quarterback and so that to me is really important for yours. 177 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 6: As far as tua this. 178 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 9: Feels like the end of the franchise quarterback tua Era. 179 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 9: A lot of this was building up his confidence throughout 180 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 9: the journey. I watched him in the locker room today. 181 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 9: He seemed upset. He didn't seem like his confident self. 182 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 9: And throughout the year you saw him with the lack 183 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 9: of decisiveness. You saw him leading the NFL and interceptions. 184 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 9: And I asked both him and Mike McDaniel about his 185 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 9: injuries and the impact there. He told me, matter of factly, 186 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 9: know my injuries did not have an impact on my play. 187 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 9: McDaniel said that he thought it would be irresponsible for 188 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 9: him to make that leap. But you got to wonder 189 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 9: how much he got be down throughout the process with 190 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 9: all those injuries and so, as Judy mentioned. 191 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 4: There's still a chance he's back next year. 192 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 9: But I think they're already starting the process to figure 193 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 9: out who is our long term answer at quarterback because 194 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 9: it is no longer to a tongue of ballow. 195 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: Greatf Cam to a tug of lower. Quite possibly playing 196 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: his final snap in Miami, Joe Burrow will be back 197 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati in twenty twenty six, though he continues to 198 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: give us a lot of food for thought about exactly 199 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: what the future might hold. 200 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 10: This week, it feels like everything everybody's trying to do 201 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 10: everything in their power to make me not play football, 202 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 10: and I feel like I'm fighting it, like fighting everybody else. 203 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 8: I just want to play. 204 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 10: I just want to play ball. 205 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 6: All. 206 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 4: I want to do a speculation after last week, just 207 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 4: in general, your comments last week, how much do you 208 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 4: love playing? 209 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 6: A lot of you ever thought about. 210 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 10: Not I mean you you think about it, but you 211 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 10: think about a lot of different things and in your life, 212 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,119 Speaker 10: just like everybody does. You think about all different possibilities 213 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 10: that could happen. I'm gonna be playing for a long time. 214 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 10: I expect to play for a long time, and I 215 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 10: expect to play well and consistently great for a long time. 216 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 6: Is he what he in the building trying to get 217 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 6: you to not play? 218 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: I appreciate the candor from Joe Burrow, Judy, though every 219 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: time he's talking amidst this lost season that once again 220 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: was ruined by one of his injuries, it does raise 221 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: a lot of questions about exactly what, if anything, might 222 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: be going through his mind right now. 223 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 224 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 7: Here is what I thought was the most interesting part 225 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 7: of his press conference today. He was asked if he 226 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 7: sees a world in which he is not playing for 227 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 7: the Bengals in twenty twenty six, and he said no, 228 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 7: he could not see that. And the follow up question 229 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 7: was if he thinks about playing for another team in 230 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 7: his career, and there was a pause and he said, 231 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 7: you think about a lot of things, so certainly that 232 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 7: opens a can of worms up. Watching the entire press conference, 233 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 7: it felt like we were eavesdropping on a therapy session. 234 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 8: He was very candid. 235 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 7: Joe Burrow, as we have said before, is a very 236 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 7: deliberate speaker. He is usually very reserved with the press. 237 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 7: He does not give a whole lot up so he 238 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 7: knows that what he says when he says it out 239 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 7: loud has impact and that his words have power in 240 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 7: that building. The bottom line is here. It is clear 241 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 7: he is disappointed with the season. He's frustrated, he's not happy. 242 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 7: It's incumbent on the Bengals to get to the bottom 243 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 7: of this and to make Joe Burrow happy, because you 244 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 7: certainly don't want to hear him saying again that he 245 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 7: thinks about what it would be like playing for another 246 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 7: team at some point in his career. 247 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: Bengals one of about a dozen teams that already are 248 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: out of playoff contention, nothing left to play for this season. 249 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: The Rams and Seahawks have a whole lot to play 250 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 2: for on Thursday night, as big of a Thursday game 251 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: as we have ever had. 252 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 4: The two teams. 253 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 2: Both eleven and three, tied atop that division right now, 254 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 2: and the Seahawks do, like the Rams last week, have 255 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: a scenario where they can clinch a playoff spot if 256 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 2: they win or tie tomorrow night, or the Lions lose 257 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 2: or tie in their game this weekend, then Seattle would 258 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: follow the Rams as the second NFC team to get 259 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 2: into the postseason field. As we welcome in our Bucky 260 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: Brooks to the conversation, Bucky, again, this is two teams 261 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 2: that are among the most talented, certainly in the NFC. 262 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: They both played really good football through the course of 263 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: the season. Just tell me what you see in this 264 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 2: matchup that the entire country is going to be watching 265 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 2: tomorrow night. 266 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 11: Look, you hit Danail on the head when you're talking 267 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 11: about two teams that are evenly matched. When you look 268 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 11: at them from top to bottom, everything is nearly identical 269 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 11: in terms of the talent on defense, They're loaded on 270 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 11: the front lines. They have talented players in the back end. Offensively, 271 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 11: the offensive lines are playing well. They can run it 272 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 11: when they wanted to have talented receivers. It comes down 273 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 11: to quarterback play, and really it comes down to Sam 274 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 11: Donell battling the demons that the Rams defense have caused 275 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 11: him the last two years, first with the Minnesota Vikings 276 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 11: and then in an earlier matchup. 277 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 6: Can he get past the boogeyman? 278 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 11: And when the Rams see Sam Donald, they have a 279 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 11: lot of confidence and conviction that they can force them 280 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 11: into bad plays. So it's gonna be on the Seahawks 281 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 11: and Sam Donald to get comfortable to take care of 282 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 11: the ball, to continue to provide the explosive plays in 283 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 11: the passing. 284 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 6: Game while not giving it away. 285 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 11: Because if the Seahawks don't give the game away, man, 286 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 11: they're gonna be right in it in the fourth quarter, 287 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 11: and we've seen they close it out like no other. 288 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 6: It comes down to Sam Donald being able to battle 289 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 6: as demons. 290 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford on the other side, is one of 291 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 2: the front runners right now for NFLAVP will not have 292 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: one of his top receivers and all. Luckily tomorrow night, 293 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: DeVante Adams officially doubtful after aggravating his hamsterring Bucky, Thank 294 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: you very much more from you in a bit ian man, you. 295 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: Really had to show all those bad Sam Donald clips. 296 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 4: God forbody's watching here anyway, He's guy's been through enough 297 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: plenty going forward to for the NFC playoff picture.

I want to start with 306 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: the Bears perspective. There's one thing we've learned this year 307 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 4: is the match of Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson has worked. 308 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 4: Why is this working so well Caleb? 309 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 12: Well, this is working ian great question, because Caleb is 310 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 12: taking the coaching and he's running with it and we're 311 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 12: seeing a rapid evolution here in his second season with 312 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 12: Ben Johnson. I actually asked Ben this week at his 313 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 12: initial press conference on Tuesday, what has exceeded his expectations 314 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 12: about his young quarterback perhaps with this offense, and he 315 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 12: referenced quickly the continual journey dating all the way back 316 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 12: to the offseason, but said it's going to be good 317 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 12: in a year from now, it's going to be great 318 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 12: in five years from now. It's been a really nice marriage. 319 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 12: He specifically, though, talked about the basics with Caleb and 320 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 12: really the pre snap activity where he's really excelled and 321 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 12: where he's really grown the most to understand the elements 322 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 12: of the shifts, the motions, the cadence, all the things 323 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 12: that Ben wants in this offense to be able to 324 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 12: attack the way they want to with this run game, 325 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 12: and he's starting to hit some of these inbreakers. 326 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 8: We're seeing some of. 327 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 12: These throws here on your screen where he trusts the 328 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 12: offense and he's using great anticipation and those are things 329 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 12: that have allowed him to excel. And I spoke with 330 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 12: Sean Gary from these Packers today and they got a 331 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 12: nickname for Caleb Williams Ian Houdini. That's what the Packers 332 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 12: call him. Gary interestingly talked about in the pocket, his 333 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 12: contact balance in the pocket, his strength in the pocket, 334 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 12: and how much Caleb forces you to work to go 335 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 12: get after him. And it certainly will be a task 336 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 12: now with Micah Parsons out of the picture. 337 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's talk about that a little bit because obviously, 338 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 4: I mean parsionly one of the best pasts rushers in 339 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 4: the NFL, one of the biggest additions we have seen 340 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 4: in forever a teammate before the season. Now out for 341 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 4: the season where they torn acl Packers are still good, 342 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 4: They're still going to be balling. How can they make 343 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 4: up for the loss of this guy. 344 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 12: Well, look at the lower third, which is the bottom 345 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 12: third of your screen for our viewers. That is twelve 346 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 12: and a half sacks, twelve TFLs, tackles for loss, twenty 347 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 12: six quarterback hits. Obviously, they're all tops through fourteen games 348 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 12: this season. It's just a devastating blow. But what's more 349 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 12: interesting and more impactful, eighty three quarterback pressures leads the 350 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 12: National Football League, guys Ian, he has forty one more 351 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 12: than anybody else on this Packers roster. Rashan Gary is next. 352 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 12: I think he's got forty three or forty four, something 353 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 12: like that. But I mentioned I spoke with Rashaan Gary 354 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 12: and he literally told me, how do you put into 355 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 12: words the magnitude of this loss? In Micah Parsons and 356 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 12: the restless nights? He said he gives offensive coordinators and 357 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 12: how everybody circles him three times on every single play 358 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 12: in terms of what you're doing offensively. But as Gary 359 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 12: told me, they have to start rushing with as one. 360 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 12: They have to have great communication up front from a 361 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 12: defensive standpoint. And it's going to be very interesting, though, Ian, 362 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 12: to see how this emotionally impacts the Green Bay Packers, 363 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 12: because we're talking about Superman. Back there to the point 364 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 12: where two weeks ago, Ben Johnson changed his scheme and 365 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 12: brought two tight ends into the backfield to Chip Michael Parsons. 366 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 12: They did it for Garrett two. But that'll change, of 367 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 12: course on Saturday without. 368 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 4: Them, among many things to change. It was a huge 369 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 4: one on Saturday, Stacy. Thank you very much for hanging 370 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 4: out with us. 371 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 13: Guy. 372 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 4: I love the Saturday game that time of year on 373 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 4: NFL Network and all around the NFL play. Need to 374 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 4: get to with this guy right here. The AFC North 375 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 4: is going to be incredibly fascinating down the shets. We'll 376 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 4: get into it with Brian Balding, our good friend, talk 377 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 4: about Aaron Rodgers, talk about Labar, and then we're gonna 378 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 4: talk about this guy right here, Garrett Bowles. For the 379 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 4: Denver Broncos. What he does on the field, we have 380 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 4: seen one of the best tackles in the NFL. Off 381 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 4: the field just as productive. Coming up next live on 382 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 4: the Insacts, that man right there has made a huge impact, 383 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 4: not just on the field for the Denver Broncos. We 384 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 4: will get to all that, but off the field as well. 385 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 4: The Walter Payton Man of the Year Club nominee again, 386 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 4: Garrett Bowles, Welcome inside with the Insiders. Thank you very 387 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 4: much for joining me. Ian Rappaport, Gudya Batista as well. Garrett, 388 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 4: we got some football questions for you. Obviously that is important, 389 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: but I think it's fair to say your work off 390 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 4: the field has been just as significant. Want to make 391 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 4: sure I get this right. You have two primary areas 392 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 4: of focus off the field. One, you have partners with 393 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 4: a partner with a speech language pathologist, Jenny Buorm to 394 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 4: launch the Bjorham and Bos Apraxia Education Initiative to help 395 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 4: children who are struggling with language based issues. You have 396 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 4: also been spending time in the Juvenile probation court. You 397 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 4: have become a mentor there. Obviously, all of that takes 398 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 4: a lot, Garrett. How have you been able to manage 399 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 4: all the things you do off the field with all 400 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 4: the things you do on the field. 401 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 13: I think what I do on the field off the 402 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 13: field just brings me that passion to be able to 403 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 13: perform on the field. You know, I'm a big believer 404 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 13: for how you live your life off the field is 405 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 13: how you perform on the field. So I'm getting back 406 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 13: to my community has always been something that I truly 407 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 13: love and cherish. Obviously, we open up you know, B 408 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 13: and B the Omables training Center for speech pathologists to 409 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 13: learn more about a practical speech It's the first one 410 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 13: ever in the entire world. We launched our first session 411 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 13: June of twenty twenty six, so that's super exciting. We 412 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 13: have about twenty signed up where we can get about 413 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 13: forty people. And then also, you know the mentorship that 414 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 13: I'm doing at the Marble Food Center. We're remodeling all 415 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 13: six pods with new carbon, new paying, new furniture, I pad, etc. 416 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 13: To help them be able to contact with their mentors, 417 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 13: more of their family members, and help them truly feel 418 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 13: love and appreciate it. And so that's what I've been doing. 419 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 13: It's been a huge blessing for me and my family, 420 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 13: and I'm beyond grateful that I get to serve the 421 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 13: community here in Colorado. 422 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 7: Those are obviously two very different kinds of programs to 423 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 7: be involved with. How did you pick them as the 424 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 7: areas that you wanted to focus your community work on. 425 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 14: Well, Number one, I'm. 426 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 13: A trouble kid myself.

I 435 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 13: understand how that feels to be down in the dunts 436 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 13: and nobody wants you and people, you know, people don't 437 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 13: want anything to do with you.

I would 477 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 13: love for people to understand what I do. But at 478 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 13: the same time, you know, I just played football because 479 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 13: I truly love it. I love the passion I love 480 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 13: I love my teammates, I love this organization. I love 481 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 13: everything about the city.

Then I'm 490 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 13: going to enjoy it. I'm going to embrace it, and 491 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 13: I play for all those kids that everyone doubts, and 492 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 13: it just continues to view my bar and continues to 493 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 13: make me with my dream of blacking football at a 494 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 13: very high level. 495 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 7: All right, you all have not lost a game since September. 496 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 7: You got another big one, but you are in position 497 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 7: to see he's the first. 498 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 8: Overall seed in the AFC. 499 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 7: Certainly, we saw parts of this coming along last season. 500 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 7: We saw bo Nick starting to develop. Most coaches don't 501 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 7: like players to think big picture. They don't want to 502 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 7: talk about big picture. They want you to focus just 503 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 7: on what's in front of you. How has Sean Payton 504 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 7: handled this season where you guys have taken off. 505 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 13: It's just the culture that he's built here.

Steelers still up one game, in part 549 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 2: on the strength of beating the Ravens head to head. 550 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 2: Ravens holst the Patriots. On Sunday night, the Steelers visit 551 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 2: the Lions. Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pellicero and 552 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 2: Brian Baldinger. 553 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: This is a matchup, Baldy, of. 554 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: Two teams it seems like have a little bit of 555 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 2: similar types of play styles. 556 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: Break down this matchup for me, please. 557 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 13: Well. 558 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 14: I think this is Aaron Rodgers' fifteenth trip to Ford Field. 559 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 14: I'm sure he has pretty good winning records, so he 560 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 14: knows what it's like to go into that building. He 561 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 14: also knows what it's like to come out as a winner. 562 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 14: So the Ravens or as Steelers have one two in 563 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 14: a row because of Aaron Rodgers' ability right now. His 564 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 14: ability is stay upright, stay healthy. They dake you dunk 565 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 14: with the best of them right now. He loves to throw. 566 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 14: I mean this one in DK Metcalf was you know, 567 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 14: a pretty dice. He throw in the middlefield, but DK finishes. 568 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 6: You know, the end zone. 569 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 14: But you know, he throws to his backs, he throws 570 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 14: to his tight ends, and if he can get a 571 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 14: shot to DK in the middle of field. 572 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: He's gonna take it. 573 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 14: The big, big matchup in this game really for the Steelers. 574 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 14: They did a great job of protecting Aaron Rodgers against 575 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 14: the Dolphins and against the Ravens. They started Dylan Cook 576 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 14: last week and left tackle his first NFL start, number 577 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 14: sixty right there. Sixty six snaps, Tom, they were sixty 578 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 14: six plus plus. 579 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 6: He didn't have a bad play. 580 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 14: But he's gonna see Aighton Hutchinson this week on the 581 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 14: road with that noise. It's gonna be a big part 582 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 14: of whether Aaron Rodgers can continue to play at the 583 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 14: level he's playing, if he can protect the backside like 584 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 14: he wasn't then for Detroit, Tom, you know, they haven't 585 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 14: won two in a row since October fifth, they've won one, 586 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 14: lost one, one to one lost one. They lost to 587 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 14: the Rams in a shootout Sunday, and so if they're 588 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 14: gonna get into the playoff race here, I have to 589 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 14: start stacking some wins. 590 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 6: That can't wait any longer. 591 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 14: They can't come out of this game eight and seven, 592 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 14: especially with what Chicago and Green Bay can do. So 593 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 14: I feel like their backs are to the wall, and 594 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 14: I think they'll play like that. And we saw a 595 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 14: Monroe Saint Brown last week have one of the great 596 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 14: games of any wide receiver in this league this year. 597 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 14: Fifteen catches two touchdowns like he was unstoppable, and he 598 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 14: might have to be unstoppable this week. 599 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 6: I feel for Detroit it'd. 600 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 14: Be good if they could get Jamier Gibbs going. I 601 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 14: thought the Ralliams did a good job of shutting him down, 602 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 14: but they're really an offense that can score with the 603 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 14: best of them. They did last week, even if one 604 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 14: guy is shut down like Gibbs was. I think they 605 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 14: need all cylinders offensively going to really counteract whatever Aaron 606 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 14: Rodgers can. 607 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: Do do not move. 608 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 2: We got a Baldi's breakdown on the Chargers coming up 609 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: in just a little bit. But first, Ian, give me 610 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 2: some fantasy tips. 611 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: Please. 612 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 4: Here's a tip. I don't have anything good. I was 613 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 4: gonna make a cracker our good friend Michael et Floya, 614 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 4: who got absolutely destroyed by Marcus, and I have nothing 615 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 4: to say because it's just so humiliating. Marcus Grant joined 616 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 4: us on the Insiders. Thank you very much for hanging 617 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 4: this this segment. We like to call Marcus my words 618 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 4: because his name is Marcus and he's got great words. 619 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 4: So I want you to detail kind of give us 620 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 4: a little insight into how you brutally massacred Florio.

I want to start with the quarterback position. 622 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 4: So let's start with Bryce Young. 623 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 15: And you're had a choice last week against Florida to 624 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 15: start Trevor Lawrence or Bryce Young. Last week I went 625 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 15: to Trevor Lawrence. Route worked out pretty well. This week, 626 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 15: I'm gonna go Bryce Young because the lesson late least 627 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 15: to start your quarterbacks against the Bucks. Since week ten, 628 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 15: Tampa Bay is giving up over twenty five fantasy points 629 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 15: per game to the position six straight games in a 630 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 15: lot at least eighteen fantasy points to quarterbacks. 631 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 4: And these aren't all high level quarterbacks. 632 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 15: We're talking about Tyler Schuck, We're talking about Kirk Cousins 633 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 15: coming back to start. So this has been a good 634 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 15: opportunity for Bryson what should be a really interesting game 635 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 15: since Week eleven, eight touchdown passes, two picks for young, 636 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 15: really good spot for fantasy. 637 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 4: Folks here man Tyler shutcats in some strays on that one. 638 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 4: All good though, All right, once you give me a 639 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 4: couple more potential waiver wires sleepers, Let's focus on the 640 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 4: tight end position. 641 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 15: Oh, let's start with Kobe Parkinson. And I know the 642 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 15: Rams are still trying to make their way to Seattle 643 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 15: right now, but Parkinson's been third in target share this year, 644 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 15: behind Pooka Nakua and DeVante Adams. We know Adams is 645 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 15: doubtful for this game on Thursday night. On top of it, 646 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 15: it's just a great matchup for Parkinson. Seahawks the sixth 647 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 15: best matchup for tight ends this season. They've given up 648 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 15: the third most receptions, fourth most yards to the tight 649 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 15: end position. Then another one's Mike Gasiki. This one's a 650 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 15: little bit of a deeper poll. This one mostly about 651 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 15: the matchups because Gaseki himself just two games and more 652 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 15: than twenty receiving yards all year. But Miami the second 653 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 15: best matchup for tight ends this season, the only team 654 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 15: that's given up more receptions and more yards to the position. Well, 655 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 15: it's the same Cincinnati Bengals that Gasiki plays for. So 656 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 15: with the Dolphins looking down on wide receivers, this could 657 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 15: be a lot of targets for Agasiki this week. 658 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 4: Now, Dolphin's defense catching straights. Wy, don't you give me 659 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 4: a sleeper defense? I assume not the Bengals. 660 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 6: Not the Bengals this week. 661 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 15: No, it's gonna be the Buffalo Bills. And again, it's 662 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 15: all about the matchups here because Shardor Sanders had a 663 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 15: really big game a couple of weeks ago against the 664 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 15: Tennessee Titans. Outside of that, he's averaging fewer than one 665 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 15: hundred and eighty passing yards per game. He's got a 666 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 15: handful of interceptions. He's also been sacked ten times in 667 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 15: the starts that he has made so far this year. Now, 668 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 15: the Bills are not getting a ton of pressure against 669 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 15: opposing quarterbacks, but I think against this Cleveland Browns offensive front, 670 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 15: I think they'll figure out a way to get home. 671 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 15: I think they can force Shador into some interceptions and 672 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 15: if you're looking to stream a defense and maybe the 673 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 15: Saints aren't available for you, the Bills should be out 674 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 15: there and a chance to get them in your lineups. 675 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 7: Welcome back to the Insiders, presented by Progressive Insurance. Here 676 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 7: is your AFC playoff picture as it stands right now. 677 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 7: Check out the Chargers ten and four. They are the 678 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 7: fifth seed right now in the wild card spot, in 679 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 7: the top wild card spot. Obviously, the Broncos are in 680 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 7: the catbird seed. They have a chance to seize the 681 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 7: top overall seed in the AFC. Let's bring in Baldy 682 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 7: is back and our Jane Slater. We're going to talk 683 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 7: about Chargers at Cowboys. Baldy, I want to start with you. 684 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 7: Derwin James had the great interception that basically ended the 685 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 7: Chiefs season last week. I know you have a breakdown 686 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 7: of Baldi's breakdown. Show it to us. 687 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 6: Well. 688 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 14: First of all, Judy Durwin coming in this world. There 689 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 14: are energy givers and there are energy takers. Drwin is 690 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 14: an energy giver, and he's an energy giver with talent 691 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 14: and incredible instincts. 692 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 6: He's drivening with instincts. 693 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 14: So Jesse Muners Design and offense where he's got a 694 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 14: great deal of freedom, like Drtlin's right here on your screen. 695 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 14: He can line up anywhere, but he kind of knows 696 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 14: exactly where Kareem Hunt is going to be. And he's 697 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 14: an excellent tackle. He's square, he's low, he takes his legs, 698 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 14: he's down when he hits you, the play's over. I 699 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 14: mentioned instincts here, his ability to tying this right here 700 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 14: and to really meet Pacheco in the backfield with Tooley 701 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 14: Tuli Polotto right here for a four yard loss. So 702 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 14: you see that. Okay, that that And then when I 703 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 14: say that he is an energy giver, he also brings 704 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 14: the wood Judy like he comes and he'll smack you 705 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 14: like this is a good smack smack here to Rashi 706 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 14: Rice little stick route. The Chiefs loves to start drives 707 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 14: with this, but like he separates Rasi from the ball 708 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 14: like those kind of hits. It gets everybody energized on 709 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 14: the sideline. And then this is an instinct here, like 710 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 14: Darius Cooper is responsible for blocking Derwin James. He's got 711 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 14: note he already knows this is gonna be a handoff 712 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 14: on first down to Saque. He's gonna he's gonna beat 713 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 14: him to the ball right here. Takes him off his feet, 714 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 14: all right, and then he can match up with big receivers, 715 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 14: tight ends and classic matchups with Travis Kelce. Here they 716 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 14: are in the red zone. Obviously he's a big target 717 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 14: for Holmes over the last eight years. Here he just 718 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 14: plasters them. He knows that this play could go on, 719 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 14: it could be extended. Mahomeso's out of move scramble, so 720 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 14: he just plasters them. Mahomes is looking, he wants to 721 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 14: throw it to him, but not with Derwin's sitting there, 722 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 14: and so he's forced to just kind of throw it away. 723 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 14: And then you mentioned the end of the game, the 724 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 14: closer like coming in right in this situation twenty seconds ago, 725 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 14: the chief sting of field goal to tie this game, 726 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 14: maybe to go to overtime. Derwin plays this route outside 727 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 14: Amy where he's got help on the inside here Judy, right, 728 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 14: he's got the help here. 729 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 4: Now he's playing. 730 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 6: Now, he's reading the route. 731 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 14: Now, he's just a route reader right here, and he 732 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 14: beats Kelsey to the ball to really finish that game 733 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 14: with an interception. We're talking about a unique player with 734 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 14: a lot of experience and a lot of instincts, and 735 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 14: really jesse Minner's defense allows Derwin to really freelance quite 736 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 14: a bit within the structure of the defense and use 737 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 14: his instincts to gamble and to make the plays that 738 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 14: he has. And I feel like he's the leader of that, 739 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 14: not just the defense, but the leader of the team, 740 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 14: and he embraces it. 741 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,479 Speaker 8: Big game player, Derwin James. 742 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 7: All right, Jane, let's look at the Cowboys now, because 743 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 7: one of the mysteries of the season is Trayvon Diggs. 744 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 8: You caught up with him. What is going on there? 745 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 16: Yeah, Judyan Bryan, there are two sides to every story, 746 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 16: and we really haven't talked to Trayvon Diggs yet, and 747 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 16: I wanted to make it clear I did talk to 748 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 16: him today and I want to clear some things up. 749 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 16: There have been a lot of rumors about how Trayvon 750 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 16: Diggs got injured at home. After speaking with them, I 751 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 16: think it's really important that I put this out there. 752 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 16: His version is far less defarious than some of the 753 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 16: rumors that have been floating around on the internet, and 754 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 16: it's affecting him and to some extent, he wants that 755 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 16: cleared up. 756 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 8: Is he healthy? 757 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 16: Diggs says he is why is he wants to get 758 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 16: on the entry report with an issue? Well, according to him, 759 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 16: he's been a full go, but conceded that he Brian 760 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 16: Schottenheimer and Matt Eberflus discussed his mistakes and practice and 761 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 16: Cover two the way he is played though as them 762 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 16: questioning the health of the need Now. Jerry Jones on 763 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 16: one to five three the Fan this Week set as much, saying, quote, 764 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 16: Diggs has a very unique way he continues to play 765 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 16: on the team. He'll go away from the scheme to 766 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 16: make a great play, and when he doesn't make that play, you. 767 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 8: Can have a bad, bad play. 768 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 16: Now, Diggs also concedes his talented corner may not be 769 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 16: his strengths and Cover two, but he tells me he's 770 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 16: working on it and wants to be here. With effort 771 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 16: at communication, perhaps this gets fixed. But right now they 772 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 16: are working with guys like Savone Ravel and Kayln Carson 773 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 16: as they look to the future because for all intents 774 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 16: and purposes at this point, they're eliminated from the postseason. Now, 775 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 16: I'm told that they would love for Trayvon to fit 776 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 16: here and find his path forward with us, but there 777 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 16: is a clear and certain path that must be upheld 778 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 16: and the message there is, guys, there is a scheme 779 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 16: they need him to fit into it. But there are 780 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 16: a lot of rumors and conspiracies that are floating around, 781 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 16: and I can tell you right now it is getting 782 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 16: to travel on. So I think it's important that we 783 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 16: bring some of this up. 784 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 8: Very curious situation. 785 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 7: Jane, thanks for shedding some light on it, and Baldy 786 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 7: thank you as well. When we return on the Insiders, 787 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 7: we're going to take a look at another very very 788 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 7: interesting division, the AFC South. Look at the quarterbacks in 789 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 7: the AFC South, Trevor Lawrence, C. J. Stroud and Philip Rivers. 790 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 7: Grandpa Philip Rivers. Bucky Brooks will be back with us 791 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 7: when we return. 792 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: Tom Now for. 793 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 2: Good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance. The Texans are the 794 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 2: only team in the NFL to have four players with 795 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 2: three or more interceptions this season. Feilan Petrie, Kamari Laster, 796 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 2: and Kaylen Bullock have four picks each. 797 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: Derek Stingley Junior has three. 798 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 2: Those four guys have combined for fifteen of Houston's sixteen 799 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 2: interceptions this season. That Texans defense big reason that they've 800 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 2: got back into it after an zero to three start, 801 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 2: currently sending just one game back of the Jaguars, who 802 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 2: have an opportunity to bring another playoff berth to Jacksonville 803 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 2: this weekend. They are one of a number of teams 804 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 2: that have a playoff clinching scenario this week. For the Jags, 805 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 2: it is a win plus a Cold sloss or a 806 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 2: win plus a Texans loss. Again, as that AFC South 807 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 2: continues to heat up, as we welcome back our Bucky 808 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 2: Brooks to the conversation with me, Tom Pelicero Jaguars Broncos 809 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 2: this week. Bucky, if you want to be a playoff factor, 810 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 2: you got to play teams like this. 811 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 11: Break down this matchup for me. You know this is 812 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 11: a great matchup two great teams. Talked about the Broncos 813 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 11: being on eleven game winning streak. Their defense is lice 814 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 11: out vance. Joseph has done a really good job of 815 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 11: being able to pressure with four and play max coverage 816 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 11: behind it. And the reason why the Broncos defense so 817 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 11: good to cause you play sticky coverage behind it, they 818 00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 11: can lock on and make life miserable for offenses is 819 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 11: the Jaguars offense has been rolling. 820 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 6: Since the by week. 821 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 11: Since Week nine, this team has put up twenty five 822 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 11: plus points in each of their seven games. They're averaging 823 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 11: over thirty two points and so they can light it up. 824 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 11: And part of the reason is because Trevor Lawrence has 825 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 11: really settled in if you look over the last three games, 826 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,280 Speaker 11: ten touchdowns, no giveaways, doing a great job of putting 827 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 11: the ball in the hands of playmakers, and Liam Cohen 828 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 11: has been in his bag. This is gonna be a 829 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 11: very compelling matchups between two play callers, Liam Cohen Vance 830 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 11: Joseph because ultimately it's gonna be decided on the Jags 831 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 11: offense versus the Broncos defense. Winner is ultimately gonna win 832 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 11: the game. 833 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,879 Speaker 2: Great stuff, Bucky, enjoy that game on Sunday.

You really can't miss us. 838 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 2: Kind of like the Packers athletic training staff couldn't miss 839 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 2: the other thing that was going on on the field 840 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 2: when their safety Evan Williams got hurt. Talked with the 841 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 2: Porters today, said that he sprained his MCL on the 842 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 2: same play where Michaeh Parsons tore his acl, saw one 843 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 2: trader with a water bottle over him and wondered, Hey, 844 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 2: where's everybody else? Michael Parsons is a pretty important player 845 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,720 Speaker 2: to that team. Nothing against Evan Williams, who is also 846 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 2: having a really good season. 847 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 8: Ian. 848 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 2: It's kind of like when you complain constantly about getting 849 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 2: more airtime and Judy, me, Mike, We're all just sitting 850 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 2: there going, hey, what about us? 851 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,919 Speaker 4: I would actually say, it's more like when you break 852 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 4: news and then something else more important happens and you're like, 853 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 4: what I just hit send? No one cares about my 854 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 4: news because this other crazy thing. Couldn't they have waited 855 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 4: until a different time. That Judy is the absolute worst. 856 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 4: So therefore, Evan, who is really good by the way, 857 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 4: I feel your pain. 858 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 7: I just can't imagine being hurt, being laid out on 859 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 7: an NFL field and they're like, yeah, here's a band 860 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 7: aid and an aspirin will get you later, because we've 861 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 7: got to go over here with this guy, because this 862 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 7: guy's a superstar. 863 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 8: Get well. Evan Williams and Micah of course too. 864 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 2: Yes, Matt Packer is one of the best medical and 865 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 2: athletic training staffs in the league. 866 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: Let's just make that abundantly clear. Here, one guy stuffer 867 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: a very good you're superstar. The other guy's a good player. 868 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: We've got a listener injury. Anyway, it's hard out there. Sometimes. 869 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 2: The only thing worse ian actually than the scenario you 870 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 2: described is when you get some news you haven't posted 871 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 2: it yet. Then something else, bigger breaks and you're like, 872 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 2: do I even post this now? 873 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,359 Speaker 1: Do I wait five minutes? It's tough, tough,
