Speaker 1: general manager and Jeff Hafley the new head coach being

00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: introduced by owners Steven Ross. We're gonna hear from release

5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: one of those guys who sits down with our buddy

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: cam Wolf later in the show, halevon Chase. Son's another

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: good one to talk to. You know what we should do.

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: We should talk to him the Patriots sack master having

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: the best year of his career. Where a resurgent Patriots

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: defense that gives us vibes from ten years or so ago.

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: We'll get into it. Plus, we got all the quarterbacks

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: on the road to Super Bowl sixty. We got three studs,

13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: two possible MVPs, and one other guy. What about that

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: one other guy? Don't feel bad he's still yarding in

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: the title game anyway. Welcome inside with the Insiders. I

16
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: am Ian Rappaport, joined by our good friend Judy Batista.

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: A lot to get to on this show presented by

18
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Progressive Insurance. We got AFCNFC Title game preview. We got

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: to talk to all of our analysts and reporters gearing

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: up for the huge, Huge games on Sunday. But first

21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: new right now, we had some breaking news just minutes

22
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: before this show. The Baltimore Ravens have a new head

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: coach and it is that man right there, Jesse Minter,

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: the now former Chargers defensive coordinator, A bright, young defensive mind,

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: someone who has been I think it's safe to say

26
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Judy a favorite in the Baltimore Ravens organization since they

27
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: had him as a head coach several years ago. He

28
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: now lands a five year deal with Baltimore and describes

29
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: himself as truly honored to serve as the head coach

30
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: of the Ravens. That's a statement right there. An organization

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: choose values and culture he believes in. There was a

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: lot to like here. There was a lot of synergy, Judy.

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say this maybe was not

34
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: like the most surprising hire of all time, but exactly

35
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: what general manager Eric Tacosta is looking for. Tell me

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: why the Baltimore Ravens higher Jesseman.

37
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: This just felt like such a natural fit, right He

38
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: was a defensive assistant there for John Harbaugh for a

39
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: number of years. That was actually his first job as

40
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: an NFL coach. Before that, he had been in the

41
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: college ranks, so he knows everybody in the building, He

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: knows the building, and maybe most importantly, he knows Lamar Jackson.

43
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: He was a defensive assistant when Lamar Jackson was a

44
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: rookie in twenty eighteen and running the scout team offense

45
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: for the first part of the season before he became

46
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: the starter, so there is a pre existing relationship there.

47
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: Now, I don't want to.

48
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: Say that he wasn't he was a great defensive coordinator,

49
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: and that's really good news because the Ravens defense frankly

50
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: has sat in the last two years, so he should

51
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: certainly improve that. But it was just such an easy fit.

52
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 2: All of the familiarity will help. He's a first time

53
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: NFL head coach. He's actually never been a head coach

54
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: at any level, so the familiarity in the building will

55
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: certainly ease some of those growing pains. But again, most importantly,

56
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: they know he can coexist and get along with Lamar Jackson. Obviously,

57
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator hire is super important now, but the

58
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: fact that he and Lamar Jackson have a previous relationship

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 2: is there are already several steps ahead of where they

60
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: would have been if they'd hired practically anybody else.

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty clear that connecting with Lamar, getting the

62
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: most out of Lamar was paramount here. And yes, I

63
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: know that he is not an offensive guy. I don't

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: know that that matters when it comes to just reaching

65
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: the most important piece this Baltimore Ravens team. Energizing the

66
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: quarterback is huge. The other thing about Jesse Minter I

67
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: should say is when the Baltimore Ravens transitioned on defense,

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: he was there. Went to the scheme basically that Zach

69
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Orr ran last year. Minter has perfected it, obviously runs

70
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: a version of it, ran a version of it with

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers, and for so many of the

72
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: big time pieces on the Baltimore Ravens, guys like Kyle Hamilton,

73
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: this is excellent news because he is as good a

74
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: technician as there is. You mentioned the offensive coordinator possibilities.

75
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: I want to call your attention to two potential names.

76
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: One is Joe Brady, who is actually in the building

77
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: today getting a head coach interview, and the other is

78
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. Now, the Baltimore Ravens and Minter are gonna

79
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: look at other candidates, But those are two interesting ones

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: to watch. Both got head coach interviews could end up

81
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: as OC in Baltimore. Meanwhile, for the Miami Dolphins, we

82
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: came right into the show with it. They had a

83
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: big time higher here. We learned today who the head

84
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: coach of the Baltimore Ravens is. We've known for several

85
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: days that Jeff Halfley, who does have head coaching experience

86
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: of Boston College, is the new coach for the Miami Dolphins.

87
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: So what's he going to be like?

88
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: What you see with me is what you get. It's

89
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: going to come from the heart. It's going to be honest,

90
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: and it's how I'm gonna feel. I am truly humbled

91
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: to stand here and be the head coach of the

92
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins, and I take a lot of pride and

93
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: responsibility in that. And over the last really forty eight hours,

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: I've had a lot of time to reflect on that

95
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: and on my journey and really where I came from

96
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: and how I got here, And the biggest thing that

97
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: kept hitting me was people. It's the players, it's the coaches,

98
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 3: and it's the families. And as I really go through it,

99
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: it's all those lessons that I learned In all the

100
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: places that I've been, I've had a little bit different journey.

101
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: I started off coaching Division III football, worked my way up,

102
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: went to the NFL, went back to college football, became

103
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: a head coach, went back to the NFL.

104
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 4: Coordinated, and now I'm here. But here's what I learned.

105
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: I started coaching Division III football, where I lined fields

106
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: and cleaned helmets and did laundry, and I loved it.

107
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: And what I learned was there's no job too small.

108
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: And that's what you're gonna get from me every single

109
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 3: day because I learned how to work hard, like really hard,

110
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: and there's no replacement for that, and there won't be here.

111
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 5: Oh.

112
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: I had someone with the Dolphins tell me today, you

113
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: could feel the hope in the building listening to Jeff

114
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Haffley talk to me. That is a put together dude.

115
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: And that was a great, great explanation of why he

116
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: is the new coach of the Dolphins. And no doubt

117
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: that time in Boston College helped. I know the record

118
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: doesn't look good, but you got to understand for Boston College,

119
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: that is a pretty good record. Now the Miami Dolphins

120
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: hope that it's a little bit better, but for BC

121
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: that's good. In that experience, no doubt helped Jeff Haffley

122
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: land the job as the Miami Dolphins head coach. Kim

123
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: Wolf welcome inside with the inside. As you were inside

124
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: at that press conference, say you heard Jeff Hafley speak,

125
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: you heard John Eric Sullivan speak. What did you take

126
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: away from Jeff Haffley just as far as what kind

127
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: of head coach he's going to be in Miami.

128
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 6: First of all, I'm sitting in the press conference and

129
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 6: there's about eight players, young guys, mostly first and second

130
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 6: year players, sitting behind me. As soon as Jeff Affley finishes,

131
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 6: one of them stands up and says, that's him.

132
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 7: That's the right guy.

133
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 6: And I told Halfley that when we had a one

134
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 6: on one later, he got so excited, and look, we

135
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 6: don't know he's zero and zero, but the fact that

136
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 6: he sounded like he's got control, he's got the leadership,

137
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 6: he's got the coaching moxie. That these guys can say

138
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 6: that from a thirty minute press conference, I think says something,

139
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 6: and it says something about the direction of the Dolphins.

140
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 6: This has been a team that kind of has done

141
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 6: half measures of late for the last decade or two.

142
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 6: They're trying something new and they've got a duo here

143
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 6: in a Green Bay duo and Jeff Haffley and John

144
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 6: Eric Sullivan that are going to help do that. He

145
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 6: brings a lot of passion and energy there. I saw

146
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 6: it in the presser. When I got a chance to

147
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 6: meet him, I felt it too, And one thing he

148
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 6: really said stood out. He talked about how he learned

149
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 6: how to hold guys accountable to a heavy level, and

150
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 6: it doesn't matter who they are. That's something that the

151
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 6: Dolphins really really value. The person that can whether you're

152
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 6: the star or whether you're the last man on the

153
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 6: roster or lead him. He told me stories about how

154
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 6: he worked with Michael Parsons and Rende Barbara and Dereu

155
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: Reeves to be able to get them to see how

156
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 6: they could still get better at the top stage of

157
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 6: their career, and that's.

158
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: What they're going to need going forward. The big quarterback

159
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: question still there.

160
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 6: They talked about too and having respect for him, but

161
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 6: they did not want to say a definitive answer.

162
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: At this stage. They still have to talk to him.

163
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: But I didn't note that.

164
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 6: John Eric Sullivan, the GM said our plan is draft

165
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 6: and develop, and we plan to draft a quarterback here

166
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 6: every year. That is the valuable position, and we want

167
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 6: to continue to cultivate it. I'd expect them to add

168
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 6: quarterback this year, and as we move forward, they're going

169
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 6: to do it their way, as they learn together in

170
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 6: Green Bay.

171
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: And it's a new day for the Miami Dolphins. Yeah.

172
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they won the press conference, which is great.

173
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: It's better than losing the press conference, certainly, but now

174
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: we have to see what they do. I was struck

175
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 2: by them saying they are going to draft a quarterback

176
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: every year or every two years, and that is the

177
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: old Ron Wolf method coming from the Green Bay Packers.

178
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: It has worked really well. The idea is you just

179
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: keep drafting quarterbacks, whether you need one at that moment

180
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: or not. At worst, you develop them and they become

181
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: trade chips for you, and at best you have a

182
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: stock of quarterbacks ready to go if the one you

183
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: have gets hurt or fails.

184
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: It has worked.

185
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 2: The transition from Brettfarv to Aaron Rodgers and then Aaron

186
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: Rodgers to Jordan Love. They drafted those quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers

187
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: and Jordan Love when they did not need quarterbacks certainly

188
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins would love a succession plan like that.

189
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: They would like to just get one quarterback right. They

190
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: were very respectful.

191
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Of to it.

192
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: They said they haven't talked to them and so they're

193
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: not ready to discuss the future of the quarterback position.

194
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: But certainly the idea seems to be that they are

195
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: going to look forward, look in the draft, and go

196
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: ahead with different quarterbacks. At least, it sounded like there

197
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: was a plan of how to approach the quarterback position,

198
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: and quite frankly, that is more than we've heard from

199
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins in the last few years when things

200
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: were teetering and you didn't quite know how to it

201
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: was going to be. So, as much as any part

202
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: of the press conference today, that was the part that

203
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: I thought should give you hope if you're a Dolphins.

204
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: Fan, and really if you're a Miami Dolphins and all

205
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: you really want is that just leave this press commence

206
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: believing that they have a plan. They might not tell you.

207
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: That's sort of the Green Bay way to keep it

208
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: under wraps until it has to be unveiled. But there

209
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: is a plan, there is a process, and they are

210
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: very committed to getting it right. In Green Bay and

211
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: now in Miami, Cam Wolf, Great's up you are coming

212
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: back in this show. In an exclusive sit down with

213
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: the new head coach, five of these teams are still looking,

214
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: by the way, for a new head coach. Can we

215
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: get these things filled already? It's so stressful, But if

216
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: you're the Bills or the Browns, or the Cardinals, the

217
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: Raiders and even the Steelers, you just want a new

218
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: head coach to get you going the fight. Head coach

219
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: really to get you going. Now, for these teams right

220
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: here who are playing on Sunday, I think it's safe

221
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: to say they got the right head coach for success stories.

222
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: There for huge, huge opportunities for teams. I cannot wait

223
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: for these games neither. By the way, can our good

224
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: friend Devontae Adams, a key piece of the Los Angeles

225
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: Trams offensive attack.

226
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 8: Forgive me if I'm not smiling ear to year after

227
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 8: the first win or the second win. Just haven't been

228
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 8: here so many times and understanding exactly what it takes

229
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 8: to you know, get where world simately trying to go.

230
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 8: So it's obviously exciting to achieve, you know, the minor

231
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 8: goals along the way that you ultimately need to do

232
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 8: to get where you want to be. But yeah, it

233
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 8: just feels like almost like a mythical thing to me

234
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 8: at this point. You know, like you do everything you

235
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 8: can to get there, and it's been it's been so

236
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 8: hard and been working so hard at it.

237
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 7: So we're close.

238
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: We just got to finish it off.

239
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: A lot of things you're sort of hoping, Slash looking

240
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: forward to on Sunday, getting that guy an opportunity to

241
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: go play Super Bowl and go get a rams with

242
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: his new team. That is all pretty cool. Omar Ruiz,

243
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: Mark Ross, thank you very much for joining us and

244
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: for hanging out with us on the Insiders. Omar, I

245
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: want to start with you. It is not an easy

246
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: task at all of the Los Angeles Rams going into

247
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks home. What is it going to be like

248
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: for them?

249
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 9: Well, the story I always like to share as far

250
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 9: as an anecdote for how loud it is. I remember

251
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 9: back in the Legion of Doom hey day, Michael Bennett

252
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 9: scores on Monday Night football defensive touchdown, the place goes

253
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 9: nuts and the person I was standing next to on

254
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 9: the sideline, I was literally yelling into their ear and

255
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 9: we could not hear each other. So the Rams are

256
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 9: very aware of how loud it is. They're just there.

257
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 9: Five weeks ago in Week sixteen, Senator Coleman Shelton telling

258
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 9: me that they play.

259
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: There every year, so obviously they.

260
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 9: Have the experience of playing in Seattle. Some of the

261
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 9: keys to executing their offense in that environment when it

262
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 9: is so loud, and when you can't always hear the

263
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 9: quarterback in the huddle, when you can't necessarily always hear

264
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 9: the communication on the line of scrimmage. He said that

265
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 9: they have to be on their p's and q's with

266
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 9: their nonverbal communication, just like in a championship game. You'd

267
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 9: expect for them to be able to execute on a

268
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 9: high level. Every facet of it. Nonverbal communication is one,

269
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 9: and he said, you have to get very low for

270
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 9: whatever reason, when he is navigating what he wants to

271
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 9: say to the tackle, he has to say it to

272
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 9: the guard. They have to get low than the guard

273
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 9: then communicates to the tackle. They have to get closer

274
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 9: to Matthew Stafford, get a little tighter in the huddle

275
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 9: to make sure that they hear him, and if they

276
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 9: can't necessarily hear exactly, to read his lips, look at

277
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 9: his eyes and if you don't know, ask the person

278
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 9: next to you to piece it all together. So they

279
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 9: have all that experience to navigate that sound. And obviously

280
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 9: they put up thirty seven points the last time they

281
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 9: are there, so they go in there a confident bunch

282
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 9: on Sunday, Mark, no.

283
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 10: Doubt, Omar, Yeah, that's the deal. They've been there, they've

284
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 10: done that in that stadium. You're right, it is loud.

285
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 7: You're right.

286
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 10: You do want to earn the number one seed to

287
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 10: have home field advantage like the Seahawks did last though.

288
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 10: I was with the Giants in twenty sixteen we played

289
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 10: up there. We thought they were pumping in the sound there.

290
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 10: It was so loud. They were just crushing us that day.

291
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: But for the Rams and for.

292
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford, for Sean McVeigh, like, this is a team

293
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 10: that has won the Super Bowl, They've been at the top,

294
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 10: they've won it all, so any sort of environment really

295
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 10: isn't going to affect them because they know how to

296
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 10: navigate any sort of situation, particularly this situation against the

297
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 10: division rival that they play up there every year. So yes,

298
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 10: the Seahawks earned it, and yes it might give them

299
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 10: a slight advantage but I don't think anybody at RAMS

300
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 10: organization is going up there thinking, hey, we're going to

301
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 10: be scared of the twelve.

302
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: They're ready to roll in. Better be careful what you

303
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: wish for. Meanwhile, these Seahawks had a tough situation with

304
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: Zach Charvina. They're kind of one a running back towards Aco.

305
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: He is out for the season, not good news for Seattle.

306
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: But they got Kenneth Walker, who is a stud in

307
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: his own right, no doubt, a bell cow back. Omar,

308
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: how are the Rams going to stop the Seahawks star

309
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: running back?

310
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, not only do they have Kenneth Walker, but the

311
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 9: Seahawks run game full of confidence right now. Since that

312
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 9: Rams game, the past four for the Seahawks, they've averaged

313
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 9: or they've rushed for more than one hundred and sixty

314
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 9: yards each of those games. I spoke to Puna Ford,

315
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 9: the former Seahawks, and what he's seen is the offensive

316
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 9: line really creating these large seams for the running backs

317
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 9: to run through. So they have to be really gap sound,

318
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 9: integrity and make sure that they fill those holes that

319
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 9: the Seahawks offense are created. And speaking to linebacker Omar Spates,

320
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 9: he said the key for them is formation recognition. If

321
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 9: they could have some sort of idea where the run

322
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 9: might go, then when the ball is snapped, they can

323
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 9: attack more quickly, play faster, and be able to make

324
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 9: plays on the football. Finally, and going after Kenneth Walker

325
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 9: to hit him relentlessly, pound him was the word that

326
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 9: Omar Spates used and knowing that he set a season

327
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 9: high last week with nineteen carries the one hundred and

328
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 9: sixteen yards, to see if he can sustain that sort

329
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 9: of physicality throughout the entirety of the game and see

330
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 9: if they can try to wear him out defensively.

331
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, Omar, I thought for much of the season that

332
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 10: the Seahawks run game was a sleeping giant. You know,

333
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 10: they're doing most of it with Sam Donald going to

334
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 10: Jackson Smith and Jay, but that pass game and the

335
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 10: run game wasn't there. Now it just think this adds

336
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 10: another element. But to me, the super key of the

337
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 10: game is Sam Donald and those turnovers. You know, the

338
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 10: first time they played, he had those four interceptions and

339
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 10: the Seahawks still had a chance to kick the field

340
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 10: goal to win it. Second go round, he's turned it

341
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 10: over a couple times like oh oh, here, we go again, Sam,

342
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 10: but then he got himself out of that and produced

343
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 10: at the end, which even made that offense scarier. So

344
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 10: I think if they can get Kenneth Walker going, Sam

345
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 10: doesn't have to chuck it up so much and avoid

346
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 10: the turnovers, this really could be a great key for Seattle.

347
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 10: And even if Sam does turn it over, that defense

348
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 10: is so nasty, they'll still be in the game for

349
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 10: much of it.

350
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: No doubt. A couple of days to go. I wish

351
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: it was tomorrow. That's always what I get excited about it.

352
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: But great stuff, guys, excellent, excellent breakdown. Looking forward to

353
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: hearing more from you guys soon. But I think we

354
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: saw plenty of this guy last week. That is Rashid Shaheed,

355
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: one of Michael f Florio's players. To watch the rest

356
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: of them, well, I'm not gonna spoil it, but that's

357
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: definitely one of them because he is a baller, and

358
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: so is the guy coming up next, calebon Chase on

359
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: former first round pick, has found his footing in New England.

360
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: We get to ask him all about it, plus how

361
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: good this defense is coming up next on the.

362

00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: can see why. You can see why they have reached

375
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: as far as they've gone. Ready to face the Broncos

376
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday, this defense has been balling, the lowest passer

377
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: rating allowed among the best in we've seen going this

378
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: far in the playoffs, and we will find out if

00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 12: the books for sure.

393
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: You had individually an outstanding season seven and a half

394
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: sacks in the regular season, but you have been on

395
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: some kind of heater in the postseason. Three sacks, seven

396
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: quarterback hits, a force fumble, a pass breakup in two games?

397
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: Like what have you unlocked in the last two weeks?

398
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: What how have you been able to elevate even further?

399
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, a great individual sets has been come this, but man,

400
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 12: the biggest things is the team ball that we've been

401
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 12: playing all together.

402
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 7: We've been unified.

403
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 12: Man, we've been all we've been all on one page

404
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 12: in the court, and that's one of the biggest things

405
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 12: that we've been looking forward to going to the season,

406
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 12: especially to the season. Man, gods, are getting healthy and

407
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 12: we understanding the scheme. There's more and more getting comfortable

408
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 12: with guys next to us and just coming out here man,

409
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 12: knowing that man, the next game isn't promised, so we're

410
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 12: coming out here. We're giving everything we gott know on that. Man,

411
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 12: a lot of good ball it's left to be played,

412
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 12: for sure.

413
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: Do you mention you guys are getting healthy. You got

414
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: Milton Williams back after missing a bunch of games and

415
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: it was four show at the end of the season,

416
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: whatever it was, get some really good players playing alongside you. You,

417
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: as Judy mentioned, you were having an excellent, excellent individual season.

418
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: But how do you guys kind of work off each

419
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: other and how much does that help lead to some

420
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: of the success that you guys have had.

421
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 12: A most definitely just the confidence that comes with it. Man,

422
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 12: I'm knowing the guys this job. Continue to continue to

423
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 12: be aggressive and play balls to the wall every single play.

424
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 7: That allows you to play a lot more free man.

425
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 12: And just be out there and be willing to give

426
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 12: everything you got every single snap. So the opportunity present itself, Man,

427
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 12: we under was at stake and we understand that every

428
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 12: challenge that's given to us, Man, we accepted for sure.

429
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: Let's let's talk about the game coming up on Sunday,

430
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: because you're in sort of an unusual circumstance. It's the

431
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: A and C Championship game, but you're facing a quarterback

432
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: and there's just like no recent tape on him. He

433
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 2: hasn't really played a meaningful snap since twenty twenty three.

434
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: How do you prepare? How does that change how you

435
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: prepare when there's just nothing recent to go on with

436
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: the quarterback you're going to go against.

437
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 7: So just one of the toughest ones for sure. Man.

438
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 12: Obviously, Man, I think I think the world of Sean

439
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 12: Payton and it's play calling. Man, we all we all

440
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 12: take note of his play called the Sheet and how

441
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 12: many play calls kind of just differentiate and go through

442
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 12: in the possibility to get And I think I think

443
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 12: the world of Jared as well.

444
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 7: Man. I think obviously the franchise, it stuff.

445
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 12: He was here at one point, guys thought about bringing

446
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 12: him back and trying to get him opportunity just to

447
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 12: be be a part of this team and his staff

448
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 12: in general.

449
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 7: So these are these are the moments right here.

450
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 12: Man, You got to be dialed in, Man, it you

451
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 12: just take detailed technique fundamentals.

452
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 7: It's a lot of game to take care of yourself.

453
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 12: I'm sure that the first couple of players, they're gonna

454
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 12: have some doubt up for us and just to get

455
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 12: just to get the game going, to get the feet wet.

456
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 7: Man.

457
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 12: Like you said, it ain't too much film throughout the

458
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 12: regular season we can go through. But man, he's a

459
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 12: professional quarterback in the league. Man, and everybody speaks. Have them,

460
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 12: like I said once here and I know they speak,

461
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 12: have them on their side of the ball as well.

462
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 1: I want to hear a little more about the bo

463
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: Knick situation. Obviously has a fractured ankle, had surgery this week,

464
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: not going to play. Why Jared Sidham is in there?

465
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: This news broke late and it broke after the game.

466
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: How did you guys find out? I mean, was it

467
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: as simple as looking at Twitter and being like a wow?

468
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: Did with the group chats on fire after this news

469
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: came out? Take me inside a little bit.

470
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 7: Most definitely.

471
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 12: I believe that we were I believe we were watching

472
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 12: the game as a team, just a couple of players

473
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 12: were watching together and when we saw so, I'm very unfortunate, man.

474
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 12: First off Man off first of both in his family. Man,

475
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 12: just just for sure the recur reprocessed and just getting

476
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 12: back healthy, I help his mental as well. I'm gonna

477
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 12: know he's he's a sure fire competitor. Played against him

478
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 12: before college and once in the league as well, So

479
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 12: I know he wants to be out there. I know

480
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 12: his team wants to be out there, and I know

481
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 12: that we accept every challenge from people and they're healthy

482
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 12: and just playing the best ball as the ability. But

483
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 12: I know it's I know the team. I know the

484
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 12: team is definitely looking forward to the matchup for sure, Man,

485
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 12: regardless of what's the stake, they willing to go all

486
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 12: in for this. Man, we're talking about the biggest game

487
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 12: ever when it comes to this we come to the season,

488
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 12: so not just taking lightly.

489
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 7: Man.

490
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 12: When we talk about Jared being a new quarterback and

491
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 12: both being both being out, I'm sure he's spreading that

492
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 12: knowledge onto him and I know that he's he's been

493
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 12: donating with the system all year long. Just being being

494
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 12: going against obviously a top share, a top fire defense

495
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 12: on the practice on the regular, I'm sure that he's

496
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 12: dialed in and ready for sure.

497
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: Right last one for me, the defense has only given

498
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: up a total of nineteen points in these two playoff games,

499
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: which is obviously great. Then there's sort of the question

500
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: about the Patriots all during this season is you weren't

501
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: really playing a great strength of schedule. That was the

502
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: knock on the team, Like how good are the Patriots?

503
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: How can we tell because maybe their schedule is not

504
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: strong enough. How much did that annoy you to hear

505
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: about the strength of schedule and how much are you

506
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 2: out to prove now that the Patriots are for real?

507
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 7: Yeah?

508
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, No, we can sit here and act like we

509
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 12: didn't hear the noise and it wasn't nothing to us,

510
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 12: But obviously as a competitor, man, it would definitely mean

511
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 12: something to be to not have your recognition and not

512
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 12: have your respect. So when we go out here and

513
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 12: we played this good game of all man, obviously, man,

514
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 12: we go out here, we play for each other and

515
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 12: that's the most important thing. But we do know that, man,

516
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 12: we're great on all sides of the ball.

517
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 7: Man.

518
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 12: We got to continue to play our game. A lot

519
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 12: of things are playing off favorite for sure.

520
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: Kelevon Great Stuff. Really appreciate you hanging out with us

521
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: on the Insiders and man, enjoy this game on Sunday.

522
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: It is the biggest game of your season. But if

523
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: you win, there is a bigger one. So good luck.

524
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: Go play well and hopefully we'll talk to you soon.

525
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 7: Appreciate all man, thank you for the opportunity.

526
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: New today, the Baltimore Ravens hired Jesse Mentor, the Chargers

527
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator who you see right there. He actually started

528
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: his NFL coaching career as a defensive assistant for the

529
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens for John Harbaugh, and now he is going

530
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: to succeed John Harbaugh. In Miami, we had another hire,

531
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: Jeff Afflee and John Eric Sullivan. They were introduced by

532
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: team owners Steven Ross today. We actually knew about this

533
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: hire a few days ago. They were introduced today in Miami.

534
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: They are the next phase of leadership. And of course

535
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 2: they talked about the quarterback situation there. They talked about

536
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: a whole lot of things. But our Cam Woolf shut down.

537
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 6: With coach Hafflee. And I'll start you with this. I

538
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 6: was sitting in your press conference and you've got some

539
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 6: players behind and one player stands up when you're done

540
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 6: and say that's him.

541
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: We've got the right guy.

542
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 6: Really, there's a lot of fans at home that are

543
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 6: hoping he's right. It's been a lot of decades since winning.

544
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 6: What's the first thing for you to make sure that

545
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 6: he is right and that you are the right guy

546
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 6: for the Dolphins.

547
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 3: Well, one, I appreciate sharing that with me. That's the

548
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: most important thing. It's to go connect with those players.

549
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what this game is all about. It's

550
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: about the players. So while I'm trying to hire staff

551
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: right now and figure out which ways up, it's always

552
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: going to be about the players. So what I'm going

553
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: to do this week is I'm gonna start calling every

554
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: one of them, and if they're in town, I'm going

555
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: to get every one of them in here, and I

556
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: want to get to know them. Because if you can

557
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: connect with players and show them me love and care

558
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: about them and love their families that are there for him,

559
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: then they're going to let you coach them hard and

560
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 3: then you won't even have to worry about holding them

561
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: accountable because they're not going to want to let you down.

562
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: And that's something that I've taken so much pride in

563
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 3: over the years. It's about the players, and that's why

564
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: I'm here. I can see your passion now. I saw

565
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 3: there on the presser stage, and I saw it most

566
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: when you talked about your late father, your first coach.

567
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 3: What do you think he would say to you getting

568
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 3: to this pedestal to be the Miami Dolphins head coach

569
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 3: right now?

570
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 4: I appreciate it bringing that up.

571
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 3: Just proud of me, all the hard work, all the

572
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 3: time that it paid off, which is what he always

573
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: taught me.

574
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: You know, my dad was a guy who fought. He

575
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 4: died early a cancer.

576
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: They gave him three weeks to live when we found out, and.

577
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 4: His toughness in his fight. He lasted a year.

578
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: And that's like any time I ever have a tough

579
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: day or anytime I think things are bad, I just

580
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 3: think of him going through he ever did and just

581
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: getting up and battling.

582
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 4: So I think he'd be proud of me.

583
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: But more importantly, I'm thankful for him because I would

584
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: not be in this seat and I wouldn't be the

585
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: man I am today without him.

586
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 13: So thank you for saying that. Absolutely, be proud of you,

587
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 13: indeed appreciate it. I think one thing you said up

588
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 13: there that stuck with me is you learning in a

589
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 13: stream level of accountability with players and having that difficult

590
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 13: conversation for people who are just meeting you. Can you

591
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 13: maybe give us an example of maybe how you were

592
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 13: able to maybe have that hard talk with the player

593
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 13: and how it helped feel you guys in Green Bay

594
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 13: or anywhere else.

595
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, it goes if you're coaching

596
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: a great pass rusher like Michael Parsons or I had,

597
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: you know, Richard Sherman or Derell Reevas or Ronde Barber's

598
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: it's what I've learned from Ronde or I'm a thirty

599
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: year old DV coach.

600
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 4: He's thirty eight years old coaching. He's the thirty eight

601
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 4: year old safety. I'm thirty.

602
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: And one of the things that I mentioned it up

603
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 3: there was he told me all good players want to

604
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 3: be told what to do and how hard to do it.

605
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: You just got to develop a relationship with them and

606
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: then they want you to get him better. So it's

607
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: with any of those guys that I've talked about, it's

608
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: turning the film on and showing them what they did well,

609
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: but then turning the other plays on where they need

610
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: to get better because they want to get better, you know.

611
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 4: And at the same time.

612
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: I'm the type of guy after a game where the

613
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: first five things I show a defense at the time,

614
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: and now I'm the head coach, will be the team these.

615
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 4: Five plays here, guys, I made bad calls.

616
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: Here, I put you in a bad position, but I'm

617
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: gonna fix it, you know. And the next one you

618
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: show him is, man, I, here's why I called it

619
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: bad idea. I need to be better than that. And

620
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: then when I'm done with that, I feel like now

621
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: I can go with them because I've just won it myself.

622
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 3: So let's tell the truth, right, you need to do

623
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: this better. You stepped with the wrong foot, you took

624
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: this down with the wrong shoulder, You got to get

625
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: off a block, you got to run to the ball.

626
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: Because then we're all on it together, right, including me.

627
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: So I'm going to hold myself accountable first, and they're

628
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: going to see that and they're going to feel it,

629
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: and then I'm going to hold him accountable with me

630
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 3: getting ready to want to play for you right now.

631
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

632
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 6: A quarterback will certainly be a question for people at home.

633
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 6: Sure you guys mentioned that the answer isn't there today,

634
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 6: But as a guy who comes up on the defense

635
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 6: side of the ball. What style of quarterback do you want?

636
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 6: Why do you go about finding the guy that fits you.

637
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: I want a winner.

638
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: I want a guy who just he's got it mentally,

639
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: he's got to have it physically. But I want a

640
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: guy who's got it up here. I want a guy

641
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 3: who's got in his heart. And I want a guy

642
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: who's gonna be able to walk into a room and

643
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: everyone's going to say, that's our quarterback. I want a

644
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: guy who's gonna be one of the first ones in

645
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: the building. I want a guy who's just gonna love ball,

646
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: live ball, and grind and that's what That's what Zuloah's

647
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: about to do, I guess. So we'll find out there.

648
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: But uh, we'll see in the quarterback situation. Obviously, everything

649
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: going on here, there's good players here, so I'm excited

650
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: to meet them and see where we're at. But but

651
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: those are the things I'm looking for more than physically

652
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: anything else.

653
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 7: You mentioned good players.

654
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 6: Is there anybody that when you watch the Dolphins, jumped

655
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 6: out of your tape like I can't wait to coach that.

656
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: There are some guys and I've learned after a couple

657
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 3: of years of being a coordinator, head coach. Don't single

658
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: anyone out because I'm going to miss the boat on

659
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: the rest of them. But I wouldn't have taken this

660
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: job if if there weren't some guys that did jump

661
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 3: out in all three phases.

662
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I can't help to notice your socks. Sock

663
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 6: I'm a girl dad myself. Yes, your daughter on your side.

664
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 4: My daughter's hoping leh. Yeah, I got two of them.

665
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 6: So can you maybe tell me what they mean to

666
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 6: you and how you'll want to live this new dream

667
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 6: through that again?

668
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: And I appreciate you asking because you're asking a lot

669
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: about family and that that to me is everything.

670
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 4: I love football. I love my players, they are my family.

671
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: But then when I go home, there's nothing more important

672
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: to me than my wife, Gina and Hope and Leah.

673
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 3: So with the socks, So every Father's Day they get

674
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: me a pair with their pictures on it. It's kind

675
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 3: of become a joke, but I wear them before every game.

676
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 3: I wear them into the stadium because it always reminds

677
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 3: me of what's most important in life. No matter what

678
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 3: happens out on that field, that's the most important, and

679
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: it keeps me grounded and I get a smile on

680
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: my face just thinking about it. So that's why I

681
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: do what I did, and in a big day like this,

682
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: one of the biggest days of my life, it's the

683
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: same thing. No matter what I'm doing, no matter what

684
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 3: title I hold, It's always going to be about my family.

685
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 6: I love that, man, and I'm sure a bunch of

686
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 6: girl dads at home love it too. Good luck to you, man.

687
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 6: I appreciate you to see what you have ahead. Thank

688
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 6: you for having me on.

689
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: Thank you you got it. Thanks, Yeah, you got it.

690
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's bring back our own Mark Ross. There

691
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: are still five openings left in the NFL coaching carousel. Mark,

692
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: But what do you think of the fit between the

693
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins and Jeff Hafley.

694
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 10: Well, you mentioned the other openings like, for instance, I

695
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 10: thought the harrorball to the Giants was spectacular. Just today

696
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 10: the Jesse mincher to the Ravens spectacular. This one, Judy,

697
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I'm just a little bit not too enthused

698
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 10: about this one. This isn't really catching my eye. You know,

699
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 10: Jeff Haffley does have head coaching experience at Boston College,

700
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 10: but you know a guy who was twenty two and

701
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 10: twenty six, twelve and twenty two in the acc at BC.

702
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 10: I know he said earlier that's a good job there,

703
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 10: but his two predecessors pretty much the same there, not

704
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 10: going back to the glory days of BC with the

705
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 10: Tom O'Brien and Tom Coffins of the world, and then

706
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 10: the Green Bay defense.

707
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: I thought he did a good job, but they kind of.

708
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 10: Fell apart towards the end of the year, particularly with

709
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 10: Michael Parsons was not there, so I didn't see him.

710
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 10: And look at Green Bay's defense in comparison, let's say

711
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 10: jesse Mincher what he did to the Charger Like every game,

712
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 10: the Chargers are doing something spectacular there and different. See

713
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 10: that when I looked at Green Bay's defense, So you

714
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 10: know right now, this shows the importance of relationships because

715
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 10: the new general manager there and he worked together in

716
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 10: Green Bay, so there's always that where you want to

717
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 10: bring in somebody that you've worked with and comfortable with

718
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 10: and a little bit of that affinity bias of yes,

719
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 10: I know this guy, we're similar, we have the same mindset.

720
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 10: But they kind of took that to the extreme because

721
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 10: they look like long lost brothers right there in that

722
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 10: press conference there, Judy, so it remains to be seen.

723
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 10: But in comparison to some of the other big, big

724
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 10: signings there, this one's not moving a needle for me.

725
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: Certainly.

726
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins fans are hoping you're wrong, Mark quite frankly,

727
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: thank you very much.

728
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: Ian time now for good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance.

729
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: Her next gen stats pass catchers averaging is two point

730
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 1: one yards of separation against Patrick's ten the second when

731
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: he was targeted in two and twenty five second host

732
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL at the minimum of fifty targets, only

733
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: Queenya and Mitchell allowed fewer yards of separation on his targets.

734
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: Tretan has only allowed one receiving touchdowns ridiculous on five

735
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two covered steps this year, including the playoffs.

736
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: Joey Porter Junior is the only CB to allow zero

737
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns at five hundred plus coverage steps. Oh, dimension,

738
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: Patchers or Tan, let's see how he's doing gearing up

739
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: for Sunday show. Now.

740
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 14: You know, we always feel like every time we step

741
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 14: out there on the field that we could change the

742
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 14: game and always make game change of plays, you know,

743
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 14: and that's what we put on on our shoulders, you

744
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 14: know what I mean. We just have full trust in

745
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 14: each other to make plays throughout the game and to

746
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 14: change the outcome of the game. So it's another week

747
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 14: where we feel like because each and every week, the

748
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 14: opponent gets tougher, the matchup gets tougher, and that's what

749
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 14: playoff football is about. So each and every week we

750
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 14: feel like we got to step up our game and

751
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 14: level up our game as well.

752
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,400

00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: we even get to Super Bowl Week, we have Championship Sunday.

777
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: And before we do that, we're going to talk to

778
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: Michael f Florio for his watch list for Championship Sunday

779
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 2: that is coming up next on The Insiders.

780
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: If you didn't know, there are games on Sunday, the

781
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: Sunday we wait all year for Championship Sunday. Patriots Broncos

782
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: three PMCBS, Paramount Plus Rams Seahawks six point thirty on

783
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: Fox I don't know which one is better, doesn't matter.

784
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch both of them, as is our good

785
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: friend Michael Floyo. Welcome inside with the Insiders. Usually we

786
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: spend this time Florio talking about fantasy studge or why

787
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: my team is terrible. That time is over. It is

788
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: game time right now. Take me through your watch list

789
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: for Sunday, starting with the ANFC title game.

790
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think for the Patriots side of things, you

791
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 16: should be looking at Hunter Henry because the Broncos have

792
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 16: allowed the six most yards to tight end since the

793
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 16: start of the season, but they've allowed the second highest

794
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 16: passer rating.

795
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: And completion percentage at eighty two percent.

796
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 5: I'll pass this to tight ends and the playoffs, we

797
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 5: saw the Bills have success targeting Kincaid and knocks against them,

798
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 5: So the Broncos should be able to make life tough

799
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 5: on the pass wide receivers and create quick pressure, which

800
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 5: Drake may should lean on Hunter Henry when that happens.

801
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 5: And then on the other side, I'm going to say

802
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 5: R J. Harvey with no Bo Nicks, I think the

803
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 5: Broncos establishing the run is a must, especially with how

804
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 5: well the past past defense is playing. As you guys

805
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 5: highlighted earlier on the show. Harvey struggled to do that

806
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 5: last week in a fantastic matchup, but he was an

807
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 5: effective receiver and to take pressure off of Stidham, I

808
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 5: expect a lot of screens and.

809
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: Throws to the flat, which is something the Broncos already

810
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: do a lot of. So Harvey is really.

811
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 5: Explosive and he could turn those short passes into chunk

812
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 5: plays and I think he has to for the Broncos

813
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 5: to succeed this week.

814
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: That's a great call. Plus, you wonder if JK. Dobbins

815
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: is going to make his way on to the field somehow,

816
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: some way coming off major ankle injury and add to

817
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: that Broncos backfield. All right, that was one game. Give

818
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: me the other game. Who am I watching for the

819
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: NFC title game?

820
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 5: Florio, Look, we all know Puka and Jays say, I'm

821
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 5: not going to give you the obvious ones. What about

822
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 5: Kobe Parkinson who has seven targets in three of the

823
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 5: last four Rams games, and plus in that stretch he's

824
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 5: got over fifty yards or scored a touchdown in all

825
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 5: four of those games.

826
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: We know the Rams have used.

827
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 5: Thirteen personnel at by far the highest rate in the

828
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 5: NFL this season, but Seattle has allowed the fifth most

829
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 5: yards to tight end since the start of the season.

830
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 5: Parkinson has been highly effective outside of Week sixteen, where

831
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 5: everyone started him in fantasy against Seattle. I think he

832
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 5: gets his revenge this week. And then for the Seahawks,

833
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 5: what about Rashid Shaheed? Because the Rams have allowed the

834
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 5: most yards to out wide wide receivers since the start

835
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 5: of the season, and in the playoffs, they've allowed the

836
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 5: most on the deep ball two wide receivers in the

837
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 5: playoffs and the third most on the season as a whole.

838
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: They're obviously going to give a lot of.

839
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 5: Attention to Jsen, but Shaheed has the capability of changing

840
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 5: the game.

841
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: With one or two big plays, which is what he

842
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: does best.

843
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 5: Plus he has the chance to take advantage of the

844
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 5: Rams special team roles as a kick returner, something we

845
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 5: saw him do just last week.

846
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: So I think Rashid Shaheed is the.

847
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 5: Most important player in this game outside of the Stafford Puka.

848
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: And those guys all right. Executior John Schneider crushing in

849
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: with the Shaheed trade coming through big, We'll see if

850
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: it comes too big for them. On Sunday, for you.

851
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. As always, excellent, excellent insight, fantasy

852
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: watch list, all of it. Welcome back to the Insiders,

853
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: presented by Progressive Insurance. We had some news today, none

854
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: bigger than that. Right there, Jesse Minter greeds to terms

855
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: with the multiple Ravens to bet their new head coach

856
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: goes from Chargers defensive coordinator to Ravens head coach. And

857
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: that is official right there. Robert Sawa officially official the

858
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: new head coach Judy of the Tennessee Titans. He also

859
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: gets a five year deal.

860
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 2: And Baker Mayfield is going to get his fifth offensive

861
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: coordinator in five years. The Bucks are hiring former Falcons

862
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator Zach Robinson. Those two worked together at the

863
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: Rams the period of time that month that really revived

864
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: Mayfield's career, so that is big for him. Speaking of

865
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 2: a reunion, could we have one in Buffalo? Former Giants

866
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: head coach Brian Daboll interviewed for the vacant head coaching

867
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: opening in Buffalo. He of course, was the Bills offensive

868
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 2: coordinator before he went to the Giants.

869
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: In Cowboys have a new defensive coordinator, probably not a

870
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: name you know, but a name you should know Christian Parker,

871
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: the new defensive coordinator the Dallas Cowboys, a bright, young

872
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: coach and someone who is absolutely dynamic Cowboys fans. Judy

873
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: should be pumped.

874
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: I loved Lions offensive lineman Dan Skipper announced his retirement today,

875
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 2: saying it was time for him to report as retired.

876
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: He was a cult hero as a sixth lineman in Detroit.

877
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: He caught a nine yard touchdown pass back in twenty

878
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: twenty four. He's looking at a career in coaching.

879
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: Best of luck to Dan Skipper, Best of luck to

880
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: Dana Jeremiah's table could have got a bunch of different

881
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: ways here, Judy breaking a table. I could also go

882
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: with the fact that scouts often have to stand on

883
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: the table for recruits or for prospects they love. You

884
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: can't stand on the table and break it.

885
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 7: Mm hmm
