1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Turned.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Hospitality is not what the Falcons showed the Rams on Monday,

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: at least not in the first half and then late

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: in the second half. We will look back to Bijon

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: Robinson's performance as well as the Falcons and the Rams

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: near comeback. The frustrated group of Rams, the AFC North

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: stilla for grabs.

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 3: Who's gonna wind up.

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Being the Kings, these guys, the Steelers or the team

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: that has a guy nicknamed the King on it, the Ravens.

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna break that one down coming up shortly. And

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: in the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars are maybe the

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: team we're not talking enough about.

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 3: So guess what we're gonna do tonight.

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about them, and we're gonna talk to

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: one of their players that is coming up inside with

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: the Insiders, Judy Batista, Me Mike Garafolo, The Insiders presented

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: by Progressive Insurance. We have got a lot to look

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: back to last night and still a little bit back

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: to the week seventeen, But looking.

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: Forward to Week eighteen, it's going to be special.

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: But how about this game speaking a special, this game

23
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: that closed out Week seventeen with the Rams still needing

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: some help for seeding, but sort of locked in, definitely.

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 3: Locked into a playoff spot in the wildcard.

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: The Falcons are not going to get there, but they

27
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: can mess up things in the NFC South, and they

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: messed up things for the offense and the Rams there

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: Jesse Bates with the pick six and you're going, okay,

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: at some point the Rams are going to respond. Here, No,

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: it's going to be a three touchdown game, because this

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 2: one that should have been stopped for a loss instead

33
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: turned into a ninety three yard franchise record setting run

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: by Bijon Robinson.

35
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: Incredible what he's been able.

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: To do this season, how he's been able to escape

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: and turn negatives into positives, a negative into a positive.

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: When Pooka Nakoa had a touchdown called back, gets the touchdown,

39
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: then flexes for his guy, Devonte Adams is on his

40
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: way back.

41
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: Somehow he tie game.

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: But then the Falcons take the lead in the field goal,

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: and then this we thought this was going to give

44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: the Rams a chance to tie the game. Pooko the

45
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: couah unbelievable cats for a second there and then just

46
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: loses it right there as he's trying to tuck it

47
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: in the Falcon sideline couldn't even believe it. Poka and

48
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: Stafford can't believe it. Falcons win.

49
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: Here's Jesse Bates.

50
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: Tell me about the resiliency of this team and how

51
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: you guys were able to keep Matthew Stafford in check

52
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: all night.

53
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked about it all week. You know, we're

54
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 5: not a five and nine team. We know that, you know,

55
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: that's what the record says. But when we come out here,

56
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 5: you know, we spend so much time away from our

57
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 5: our loved ones, our family and during this long season,

58
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 5: and we just wanted to go out here and celebrate

59
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 5: each other, celebrate each other's love for one another, and

60
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 5: just put it on tape for each other. And I

61
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 5: think we did that today.

62
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: It feels like you guys are just so close. Do

63
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 4: you ever wonder like what could have been with this team?

64
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

65
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: You know we're a couple of plays away from being

66
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 5: in that same picture. You know it'll have been a

67
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 5: three way time whatever it was, but it's not. And

68
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: that's the reality of it. And we're just going to

69
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 5: enjoy each other in these last couple of weeks and

70
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 5: like I said, just continue to show the love and

71
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 5: that that bond in that foundation now we're trying to

72
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 5: build here.

73
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 4: I know he's on the other side of the ball,

74
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: Bjon Robinson, but he had a monster game today, two

75
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: hundred scrimmag yards. Do you ever just marvel at him?

76
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 5: That's Bejon Man. I'll call him be great and that's

77
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: just who he is. He's an awesome football player, even

78
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 5: better person.

79
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: Thanks so much.

80
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: Congratulations on the win.

81
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 6: God bless.

82
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 2: That's a great question by Taylor because with one more win,

83
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: let's say, win the game against the Jets that they lost,

84
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: the Falcons would be in control in the NFC South. Instead,

85
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: this is the way that it looks right now. Sean McVay.

86
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: They still have a chance, the Rams do for the

87
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: five seed, Sean McVay saying that they are going to

88
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: play their starters not just for seeding, but because they

89
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: need to play good football hitting into the postseason. Brian

90
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: Baldinger and Mark Ross get on in here, Baldy, let's

91
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: talk about the Rams here because you know, before yesterday, Judy,

92
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: we talked about this on our Insiders podcast, they were

93
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl despite

94
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: being a sixth seed. Matthew Stafford was the leading candidate

95
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: for the MVP. All that's he's in just one night.

96
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: A disappointing night for the Rams.

97
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 7: It's disappointing. There's so many different ways to look at this.

98
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 7: I mean, they spot the Falcons twenty one nothing on

99
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 7: the road and with a minute to go in the game,

100
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 7: it's twenty four to twenty four, and they have a

101
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 7: chance to win it with a couple of throws to

102
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 7: two two at Well and to Pooka Nakua. But you know,

103
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 7: and so Matt Stafford's not happy about throwing a pick

104
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 7: six and Xavier, you know, watch up picked him twice

105
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 7: and won. I think he really picked his pocket on him.

106
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 7: So that's not good. But you know, the thing to

107
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 7: really worry about, period, no matter what they're seated is defensively.

108
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 7: Last night, the first ten runs that Bijon had to

109
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 7: gain thirty two yards. The next two runs he gained

110
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 7: one hundred and twenty five yards, including ninety three yard touchdown.

111
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 7: I mean, they break down and they gave up thirty

112
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 7: one to Carolina. You know, they gave up you know,

113
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 7: in the thirties to Detroit. They're giving up a lot

114
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 7: of points right now. And while we like a lot

115
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 7: of the defensive front. Jared Vers and Byron Young and

116
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 7: Kobe Turnler good guys, and Nate Lammon's having a great season.

117
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 7: They're giving up a lot of points at the end.

118
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 7: The season is final month right now, which you don't

119
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 7: want to be doing heading into the playoffs at Baldy.

120
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 8: I mean, you want to be playing at your best

121
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 8: at this point of the year. But I want to

122
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 8: get back to what Mike said, where kind of the

123
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 8: popular opinion was that the Rams are the best team

124
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 8: and oh my goodness, they still won't win their division.

125
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 3: They won't be the one seed. Too bad.

126
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 8: Well, did they go play that game last night and

127
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 8: they didn't earn it, So now you going to have

128
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 8: to even talk about that now. But I think the

129
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 8: bigger picture with the playoffs is that anybody can beat anybody,

130
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 8: and I don't remember a playoff on either side where

131
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 8: it was so wide open where yeah, the Rams lost

132
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 8: last night, but I still think they have a chance.

133
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 8: I think Seattle still has a chance. San Francisco still

134
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 8: has a chance to go all the way. Philly, despite

135
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 8: all their flaws, that the defense can play like that,

136
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 8: just get a couple of plays on offense, from their

137
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 8: stars and even Chicago the way they play with the turnovers,

138
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 8: the run game, Caleb Williams keeps getting better every week.

139
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 8: So really, five teams I think have a chance, a

140
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 8: legitimate chance to get to the Super Bowl. And that's

141
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 8: not even counting well Green Bay. Let's say Jordan Love

142
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 8: finally gets hot. I know we don't have Micah Parsons,

143
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 8: but that defense steps back up. So it's going to

144
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 8: be a lot of fun come to playoffs. But I

145
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 8: think last night was real indication of Atlanta had something

146
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 8: to play for even though everybody thought they didn't.

147
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: That's why you play the games.

148
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: We've had years where the Patriots, even back to two

149
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: thousand and seven when they were undefeated, you had a

150
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: fifteen to one Panthers team. If I'm recalling some other

151
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: good teams, and you go, who's going to dethrone that

152
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: one team?

153
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: We don't have that.

154
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: We have utter chaos potentially in the AFC and the NFC.

155
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: So if you love chaos, this is the postseason for you. Judy,

156
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: we mentioned the Falcons are not going to be in

157
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: the postseason. They are an interesting case because Jesse Bates

158
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: to our Taylor Bashatti is saying we're better than our record. Now,

159
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: that's something that if you're a coach or a GM

160
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: you're potentially on the hot seat that you've got to

161
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: make that case. The ownership is Raheem Morris, even Terry

162
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: Fonto are they are they saving their jobs right now

163
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: with how they're playing down the stretch.

164
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 9: Well, certainly playing well down in the stretch doesn't hurt.

165
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 9: Having said that, Arthur Blank is a deliberate think He

166
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 9: is not an impetuous owner. He will evaluate everything all

167
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 9: over his organization. As a matter of fact, they have

168
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 9: brought in an outside consulting frohim to look at the

169
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 9: entire organization, not just the football side, the entire thing.

170
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 9: And so that certainly suggests that Arthur Blank is at

171
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 9: least open to the idea of making changes again not

172
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 9: necessarily just on the football side, but perhaps throughout the building.

173
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 9: But again, he is not a rash owner. He will

174
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 9: look at the total body of work. But the bottom

175
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 9: line is this, they didn't win. They've had some personnel decisions, obviously,

176
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 9: the Kirk Cousins decision was unusual to say the least,

177
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 9: and they haven't made it to the playoffs in eight seasons.

178
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 9: So something has to give somewhere in the football operations.

179
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 9: Whether that is in the general manager's office or the

180
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 9: head coach's office, or neither or both, that remains to

181
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 9: be seen. But certainly playing well down the stretch and

182
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 9: showing that maybe you are more than what your record

183
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 9: indicates you are can only help their cases as they

184
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 9: try to make the case to retain their jobs.

185
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: If you're into reading body language, they did show Arthur

186
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: Blank late in the game on the sideline likes to

187
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: come down on the sideline late in the game, and

188
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: he did seem pleased and energized with that win last night,

189
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: and maybe one more over the Saints this coming weekend

190
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: could help seal the fate for Rahe Morrison Terry Final

191
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: in a good way.

192
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: We shall see.

193
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: We'll cover all that on the Monday after the following

194
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: game coming up this Sunday, Baldy Mark, we got you

195
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: guys coming back later in the program, so sit tight.

196
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: Elsewhere in the NFC South, I talked about the Buccaneers

197
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: and the Pathers playing it out this weekend. Now the

198
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: Bucks don't control their own faith. They need the Falcons

199
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: to lose on Sunday to the Saints. Because the Falcons

200
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: get in, it screws up the tiebreaker for Tampa Bay.

201
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield is on the injury report with a shoulder injury.

202
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: You might say, yeah, we know that was a couple

203
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. Well that was the left show. Now

204
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: it's the right shoulder, so that complicates thing. Tristan Wurf's

205
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: listed is did not practice in a walkthrough projected injury

206
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: report today, So some injury concerns as well as some

207
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: concerns about how the Buccaneers have been playing that must

208
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: be answered before Saturday.

209
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 10: Tod Boles, it's done to be in this position. It's disappointing,

210
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 10: it's frustrating, and it's part of the season at the

211
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 10: times of the season, and it's the first season we've

212
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 10: gone through something like this at the end of the season.

213
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 10: So you try to make the best of it and

214
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 10: you try to come out of it and you put

215
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 10: your head down and you keep working.

216
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 11: I mean, for us getting the playoffs first and foremost,

217
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 11: we have to win on Saturday, So that's that's the

218
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 11: main focus. Can't control what happens on the game Sunday,

219
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 11: but we can control how Saturday goes, how we prepare

220
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 11: how we come into it and last home game.

221
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 9: The rough week or so for the Pittsburgh Steelers DK

222
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 9: Metcalf getting suspended, of course, but they got a little

223
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 9: bit of hopeful news today TJ Watt, who has not

224
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 9: played since Week fourteen with a punctured lung. He may

225
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 9: be able to return for the regular season finale. Of course,

226
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 9: it is a huge one season on the line against

227
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 9: the Baltimore Ravens. Mike Tomlin addressed the star pass rusher

228
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 9: status today.

229
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 6: Although I hadn't seen TJ today, optimistic about his potential

230
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 6: inclusion in this game. Will work him up throughout the

231
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 6: course of the week and let the amount of participation

232
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 6: in the quality of participation be our guide in terms

233
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 6: of whether or not he's a participant. But certainly and

234
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 6: more optimistic this week than I have been in previous

235
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 6: weeks as I stand here today.

236
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs faces felony, strangulation and assault charges from an

237
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: incident that allegedly occurred in December. Diggs denying those allegations

238
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: via a statement from the Patriots. The NFL has said

239
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: that they are monitoring the situation as well. The allegations

240
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: are that Diggs assaulted a former employee, a female former

241
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: employee of his.

242
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: Here's the statement from the Patriots.

243
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: The question then, is does the NFL step in and

244
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: say okay, Stefan Diggs goes on the commissioner's exit imps,

245
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: which we've seen in similar cases before.

246
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 3: The league not willing to go there just yet.

247
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Obviously going to do some legwork here as well as

248
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: some communication with Diggs and his camp and the franchise.

249
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: So will continue to monitor this one, Judy to see

250
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: if there are any changes to diggs playing status.

251
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 9: Changed to diggs playing status coming out of Dallas. The

252
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 9: Dallas Cowboys waived the former star cornerback Trayvon Diggs today.

253
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 9: It's a rough season for days. Here is our Genes

254
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 9: later reporting the news. Been a rough season for Diggs.

255
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 9: He missed eight games with the concussion that later was

256
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 9: revealed he suffered at home when a TV mount pole

257
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 9: fell on his head. His play had been spotty before

258
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 9: and after that. Clearly the relationship with the team had

259
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 9: been deteriorating as well. He's been plagued by injuries since

260
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 9: he signed an extension in July of twenty twenty three.

261
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 9: If he clears waivers, he could sign with anybody. He

262
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 9: would be a free agent. He could sign with a

263
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 9: team that is going to the playoffs.

264
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: We'll keep it eye on that dig situation as well.

265
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 2: When we are looking at the NFC West, you got

266
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: to talk forty nine Ers and Seahawks, the battle for

267
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: the NFC West and the number one seed in the NFC,

268
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: and also that battle in the AFC North. We've got

269
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: that showdown between these Steelers and the Ravens that will

270
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: close out the regular season on Sunday night. Our guy

271
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: Jeff Toda is going to be a long to talk

272
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: about that game and more.

273
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 9: It's time for good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance. The

274
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 9: Houston Texans have yet to allow a thirty point game

275
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty five. If they can hold the Polts

276
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 9: under thirty on Sunday, they would match the twenty twenty

277
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 9: three Chiefs as the only teams to do that in

278
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 9: a seventeen game season. The twenty twenty three Chiefs added

279
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 9: four more to that total in the postseason on their

280
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 9: way to winning Super Bowl fifty eight.

281
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at.

282
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 9: What the AFC playoff picture looks like right now. You

283
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 9: see the Denver Broncos in the lead position. You still

284
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 9: have the Ravens in the hunt. We're going to talk

285
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 9: a lot more about the AFC North coming up. Let's

286
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 9: first look at the clinching scenarios for this week. We've

287
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 9: got a bunch of them again. The Broncos in the

288
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 9: lead position. They clinch the one seed with a win

289
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 9: or New England or Jacksonville losses. New England and Jacksonville losses. Rather,

290
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 9: the Patriots have a number one seeding clinch this, Jaguars

291
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 9: do too. The Texans could win the division. There's so

292
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 9: much stuff going on. Let's bring in our Jeffrey Chidia

293
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 9: and Mark Ross to discuss it all. All right, Jeffrey,

294
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 9: you tackled the playoff scenarios in your first read column

295
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 9: this week. Let's start out with the AFC's number one seed.

296
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: Which way you think this is going to go? Well?

297
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 12: I like Denver right now, Judy, and I know there's

298
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 12: three teams involved with this, with the Patriots and the Jaguars,

299
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 12: and it's exciting I had that happen. It's been a

300
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 12: long time since we've had this many teams in the running.

301
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 12: But Denver is won twelve to their last thirteen games.

302
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 12: All I have to do is win beat the Chargers

303
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 12: to get in, and the Chargers are not going to

304
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 12: play Justin Herbert. So if Jim Harbaugh was going to

305
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 12: keep his starting quarterback in, I'd be more nervous about this.

306
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 12: But market feels like Denver has got a very easy

307
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 12: road to that first round by.

308
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, hundred percent, Jeffrey. They can't blow this one, right.

309
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 8: If Justin Herbert's playing, then it's a whole different story.

310
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 8: But with him not playing, I mean, this should just

311
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 8: be a layout. But just like I talked about with

312
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 8: the NFC, even if you get the one seed, I

313
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 8: think it's just wide open still with so many teams

314
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 8: that can go beat anybody. New England, Buffalo, the Chargers

315
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 8: with to get him back. Houston's my favorite team, and

316
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 8: that whole bunch there, So even if they do secure

317
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 8: it here, which they will, is still wide open.

318
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: Judy, all Right.

319
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 9: The final game of the regular season is the AFC

320
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 9: North showdown Ravens versus Steelers. The Steelers were leading this

321
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 9: division for most of the year, then the Ravens caught up.

322
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: It's gone back and forth. Who walks away with that, Jeffrey, Well.

323
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 12: I don't know if I'm even in the word showdown

324
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 12: with this game, if I don't, will these team wants

325
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 12: to actually win this division. But I'm gonna go with

326
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 12: the Ravens here because Pittsburgh. I tried to get behind

327
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 12: him and get optimistic about them, and Aaron Rodgers was

328
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 12: playing well for a certain stretch here. But the way

329
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 12: they played against Cleveland, losing that game where they could

330
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 12: have locked this thing up, to me, it's a scary

331
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 12: sight in the Ravens, whether Lamar Jackson plays or not.

332
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 12: They saw Derek Henry go off for two hundred yards

333
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 12: and that win against the Packers. They've got a rock

334
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 12: to get this done. And no DK Metcalf playing this game. Mark,

335
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 12: that's a big, big issue for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

336
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: For sure.

337
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 8: You saw the Pittsburgh offense was limited all season, but

338
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 8: you saw how extremely limited they were with no DK

339
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 8: Metcalf of let's just throw it up there you catch

340
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 8: fifty to fifty balls and the Ravens, I've been holding

341
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 8: out hope all season long. They keep letting me down.

342
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 8: Will this finally be the time that the Ravens kind

343
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 8: of come through with a big win? Lamar Jackson, are

344
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 8: you healthy. Just man up here. Let's see if you

345
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 8: can get it. Do this game, dispel all the doubts

346
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 8: about you with big game performances.

347
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: Go in there and get this done.

348
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 8: But Derek Henry, we saw what they what he can do,

349
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 8: can still carry a team. And remember with Tennessee when

350
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 8: they were going through their runs, it was like Derek,

351
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 8: every game, just go win it. So ravens lean on

352
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 8: that once again.

353
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 9: Judy, we have not talked up about the Jacksonville Jaguars.

354
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 9: We are reminded of that repeatedly. We have not talked

355
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 9: enough about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Are they going to walk

356
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 9: away with the AFC South?

357
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 12: I like Jacksonville a lot here, and I know Houston's

358
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 12: played well, but all they have to do is beat

359
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 12: the Tennessee Titans, a really bad football team, and they

360
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 12: get this thing locked up. And I like Jacksonville is

361
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 12: a very sneaky super Bowl team because you see the

362
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 12: way Trevor Lawrence is playing. That defense has become about

363
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 12: more than just takeaways.

364
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: And keep in.

365
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 12: Mind, this was a team that was relying on Travis

366
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 12: Hunter to be the centerpiece of their franchise going into

367
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 12: the season. So what they've done in a short time.

368
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 12: Lee and Colehmen deserves credit and mark they're going to

369
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 12: win this thing pretty easily on Sunday, Yeah for sure.

370
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 8: I don't know who has an easier path Denver to

371
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 8: the Number one beating the Chargers or the Jacksonville Jaguars beating.

372
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: The Tennessee Titans. So that's a toss up there.

373
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 8: But once again, even if they win the division, I

374
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 8: still like Houston to make more of a run in

375
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 8: the playoffs just because that Houston defense I trust more

376
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 8: than any unit in the whole entire NFL. Like y'all

377
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 8: can just go make a run in the playoffs. See

378
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 8: dey Strouder up and down. We know, but we just

379
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 8: need you to get to sixteen points and we're going

380
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 8: to go win it for you. So Jacksonville has completely

381
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 8: overachieved this season, be eight straight wins, Trevor Lawrence looks

382
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 8: like he has a resurgence. Liam Cohen Coach of the

383
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 8: Year candidate. So they'll win the division and get in

384
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 8: the playoffs and make it interesting again. It'll be a

385
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 8: lot of fun judy on both sides with so many

386
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 8: teams in competition to make to get it done to

387
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl.

388
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 9: If I had to make a prediction on who is

389
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 9: going to make it to the super Bowl, let alone

390
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 9: win the Super Bowl, I could not do it.

391
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 12: Now.

392
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 9: I have no idea what is going to happen in

393
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 9: these playoffs. Guys, Thank you very much, Jeffrey. Don't go

394

Speaker 9: gonna look at the NFC playoff picture, including oh boy,

396
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 9: the NFC South. Somebody is going to win the NFC

397
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 9: South Panthers Bucks. We will break it all down when

398
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 9: we return on The Insiders.

399

Speaker 2: know what, I'm I gonna take it anymore. It's time

431
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: for I'm I'm the week that was this week in football,

432
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: our own personal millow and his name is Adam Rank.

433
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: Rag.

434
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Lions. What you love to do

435
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: because you're such a Bears fan.

436
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 3: Let's talk Lions.

437
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 10: Oh.

438
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 15: I remember when all the Lions fans were coming after

439
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 15: me before the season started, and I said they were

440
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 15: not going to make the playoffs.

441
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: They didn't believe me.

442
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 15: And here we are, and I think it's it's obvious

443
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 15: to say there needs to be a change.

444
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 3: Not Dan Campbell.

445
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 8: He's great.

446
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 15: And I've also heard word that Dan Campbell could be

447
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 15: raiding the Bear's staff for an offensive coordinator, which to me,

448
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 15: it's kind of like if a couple breaks up and

449
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 15: then one becomes wildly successful, you're like, oh, yeah, well

450
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 15: I'm gonna steal all your friends. Don't do that, Dan Campbell.

451
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 15: But I will say because a lot of Lions fans

452
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 15: pushed back and they said, well, we were as good

453
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 15: statistically as we were last season, I'm like, yeah, that's great.

454
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 15: It reminds me of the Bears back in the eighties,

455
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 15: which we love to talk about. The Bears team that

456
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 15: actually set the record for the fewest points scored was

457
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 15: the eighty six Bears, not the eighty five Bears. Statistically

458
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 15: better than the eighty six Bears, there was a marked difference.

459
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 15: There was a marked difference between this Lions team last

460
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 15: year and this year. They need a.

461
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: Couple of changes. Still very good, Still a.

462
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 15: Big believer in Dan Campbell, but they need that spark back.

463
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: I need a football life on the nineteen eighty six

464
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 2: Bears that think Adam Ranks gave me the one to

465
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: produce it. Now we're going to move on to the Packers,

466
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: and I'm starting to wonder if the Week that Was

467
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 2: is a segment that is masked as a look back,

468
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: when really it's just Adam Rank telling people I told

469
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: you so about teams in the NFC North that aren't

470
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: the bear.

471
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 3: It could be.

472
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 15: I also said the Packers were not going to win

473
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 15: the division but still make the playoffs, which is doing.

474
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 15: But I've seen a lot of people and I don't

475
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 15: like this talk at all, where people are like, God,

476
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 15: this Packers team is done. Like, don't say that, especially

477
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 15: the young kids running around Chicago going to Portillo's or

478
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 15: Big Owls or whatever, like Davia Pat, don't ever say that.

479
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 15: I have seen this movie way too many times. I

480
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 15: know it looked bad for them the other night. I

481
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 15: know it's looked bad for them for a couple of weeks.

482
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 15: Now you have to show me the corpse. I have

483
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 15: to see the body, Mike. I have to see the

484
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 15: body before I will finally recognize that the Packers are done.

485
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 15: I will not believe it. I will feel as long

486
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 15: as they are in the tournament, they have still got

487
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 15: an opportunity because they still have a lot of talent.

488
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 15: I understand they've been beset with injuries, still a very

489
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 15: talented team. I will not write them off until they

490
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 15: are written off. That's just my PTSD with the Packers

491
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 15: and how that's concerned.

492
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: While you were talking, I did a search for an

493
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 2: anagram of the week that was to see if there's

494
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: a hidden message in there. I came up with hawkshaw

495
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: saw teeth.

496
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: I don't even know what that word is. We're working

497
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: on it.

498
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: There's got to be a hidden there's got to be

499
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: like a Nicolas Cage find the meeting or Robert Langdon

500
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 2: isn't that his name? RT Now on the Broncos, it

501
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: says they're not in the NFC North.

502
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: I love last I checked. So what are we gonna

503
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 3: say about the Broncos.

504
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 15: They're like Ray talk about somebody who's not in the

505
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 15: NFC North. Okay, how about the Denver Broncos. This is

506
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 15: the thing that I'm so bummed from the Broncos because

507
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 15: it feels like and now they're gonna be facing the

508
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 15: La Chargers without Justin Herbert, and for whatever reason, the

509
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 15: Broncos are one of the few teams that have had

510
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 15: to apologize for winning week in and week out. Listen,

511
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 15: this is not this is not a situation like college football.

512
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 15: The Broncos aren't scheduling opponents. They're not They're not scheduling

513
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 15: Appalachian State. They're going out there and playing the teams

514
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 15: that Mike North has put on their schedule and they're

515
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 15: beating them.

516
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: They do not need.

517
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 15: To apologize for who they are playing. They're just going

518
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 15: out there and winning games. So Denver know that I

519
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 15: have got your back. Go out there and win this weekend,

520
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 15: get that number one seed, and don't apologize.

521
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: Whatever you do, you don't have to.

522
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: Mike North mentioned drink drink water because he's always working.

523
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: He's always busy. It's probably working on next year's schedule already.

524
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: This has been the week that was with Adam Rank

525
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: in the background, you saw NFL Now was on the pillar.

526
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 3: That's the show that was. This is now inside of

527
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: just take it one. We love it.

528
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all good. Just stay like that the whole time,

529
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: like castanza. Right when you got the now for the

530
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 2: week that is to me, go take it.

531
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: Thank you Mike and Adam.

532
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 9: Here is the NFC playoff picture as it currently stands

533
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 9: Seahawks currently one seed, although that could be in flux.

534
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 9: And here are the clinching scenarios, and as you can see,

535
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 9: there are scenarios where the Seahawks will not be the

536
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 9: number one seed when we come out of the weekend.

537
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 9: Let's bring back our free Chidia and this time Brian Baldinger,

538
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 9: let's talk about the NFC. All right, We'll talk about

539
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 9: the NFC West in a second. Let's just start with

540
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 9: the NFC of somebody. They tell me somebody is going

541
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 9: to win this division. They're going to go to the playffs,

542
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 9: They're going to host a playoffs game. Who is it

543
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 9: going to be?

544
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they keep telling us that. It's hard to believe it.

545
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 12: But I'm going to go with the Carolina Panthers just

546
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 12: because the Buccaneers have been in free fall seven of

547
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 12: the last eight games. They've lost four straight to really

548
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 12: bad teams, and I just look at the way they've

549
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 12: been playing. I just can't trust him. And I know

550
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 12: Carolinas no darling here with Bryce Young throwing them fifty

551
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 12: four yards last week. But I like the way they've

552
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 12: played in the clutch.

553
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: I like Dave.

554
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 12: Canalis and Baldy. I just feel like this team has

555
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 12: got a lot more going for it right now than

556
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 12: the Buccaneers do.

557
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 7: Jeff, Thankfully it's a week to week league, because I

558
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 7: saw Carolina up in close last week and I saw

559
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 7: that dismal performance offensively. But I mean, fortunately you get

560
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 7: Tampa Bay's defense at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday afternoon,

561
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 7: because they have been giving up one big play after another.

562
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 7: And I keep waiting for this offense with Mike Evans

563
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 7: and Godwin and Jalen McMillan and Buck Ever to come

564
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 7: together and actually put a good game together that sealed

565
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 7: the game two weeks ago, that Leighton Ransom interception miss

566
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 7: timing between between Baker and Mike Evans.

567
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 3: They can't afford to have that happen.

568
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 7: But I like Champa to come back and win this

569
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 7: game and win the division another time another year in

570
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 7: a row.

571
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 9: Wow, getting up off the mat that Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

572
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 9: All right, now, let's talk about the NFC West, best

573
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 9: division in the NFL.

574
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: Who's going to come away? Seahawks or Niners.

575
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 12: Well, I love what San Fransoo has been able to

576
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 12: do with so many injuries, but Seattle is my pick

577
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 12: here and I love what Mike McDonald's been doing up there.

578
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 12: That defense we talk about Houston, we talk about Denver.

579
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 12: That defense is right there with that group. And Sam

580
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 12: Donald has made enough plays in his team to fill

581
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 12: in this season. I thought you can trust him in

582
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 12: some big moments here, especially that Thursday night win over

583
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 12: the Rams in San Francisco. You're talking about Trent Wallie

584
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 12: might not play, Christian McCaffrey's banged up, Kittles, banged up,

585
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 12: all these guys. They keep winning games, Baldy, but I

586
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 12: just can't see them winning this game this weekend.

587
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 15: Uh.

588
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 7: Sam Crishow's offenses play so good right now, whether Kittle's

589
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 7: in the offense, Trent Williams is there, they're playing so

590
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 7: well right now in Brock Party. I think the difference

591
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 7: in this game, and I like San Francisco because Brock

592
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 7: Party is taking care of the football. Sam Darnell on

593
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 7: the other side, well, he'll turn it over. He's turned

594
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 7: it over twenty times this year with fumbles, interceptions. I

595
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 7: like the way Brock Purty is playing. I like the

596
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 7: way this offense is humming right here, and I think

597
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 7: this is going to be a heck of a game.

598
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 7: But I like the forty nine ers to take care

599
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 7: of business in this game.

600
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 9: All season, I've been wondering is this sustainable for them

601
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 9: to keep winning with all of these injuries. Literally every week,

602
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 9: I think I've said this can't be sustainable. And here

603
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 9: we are brek eighteen, they're still winning the San Francisco

604
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 9: forty nine Ers. Jeffrey Baldi, thank you very much.

605
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 2: Here are your AFC self standings right now. The Jaguars

606
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: are a one game lead, and they can maintain that

607
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: lead and finish it out if they close things out

608
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: where they win over the Titans on Sunday. Here are

609
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: the scenarios right here. Yeah, the Titans. The Jaguars will

610
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: win over the Titans. Are in a tie for either

611
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: them or the the Texans or a Texans loss as well.

612
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: Regardless. Look, the Jaguars know what the deal is, win

613
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: the game, win the Division eight that right.

614
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: Logan Cook, Jaguars punter who joins us right now, Judy

615
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 2: Batista and myself, Mike Carol follow Logan, thank you for

616
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: joining us.

617
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 3: We're gonna get this some of your off the field

618
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: work in a little bit. Let's talk about the on

619
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: the field work with the Jaguars with.

620
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen and the way that he has come in

621
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: and made you guys not only contenders, but potential division

622
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: winners here.

623
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's fun. It's you know, we've been doing a

624
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 16: few coaching changes here in Jacksonville's in my eight season here,

625
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 16: so whenever you kind of hit that off season where

626
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 16: you have a new coach coming in, there's always you

627
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 16: know a little bit of a question marks on on

628
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 16: who's coming in, how it's going to be, how it's

629
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 16: going to be run. And Matt tell you, I love

630
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 16: him code Coach Cohen is awesome. His enthusiasm he brings

631
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 16: obviously within the locker room, within you know, our meeting

632
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 16: space base on the practice field, and you'll see all

633
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 16: the post game stuff to the dude's pretty electric. So yeah,

634
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 16: he's got us rolling, and I think the whole team

635
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 16: kind of plays, kind of plays how Coach Cohen coaches

636
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 16: and uh and it's fun. It's fun to be a

637
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 16: part of.

638
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 9: Look and you were just saying you've been there eight years,

639
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 9: which means you got there the year after the Jaguars

640
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 9: went to the AFC Championship Game and lost. You've obviously

641
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 9: had a bit of a roller coaster over these eight years.

642
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 9: When did you maybe first realize this team could be special?

643
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 16: Yeah. I mean, obviously, when I came in as a rookie,

644
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 16: it was more or less don't get cut and keep

645
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 16: your job. That's kind of what I was told, and

646
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 16: that's kind of what I tried to live by. And

647
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 16: then you go, you know, you go to nineteen and

648
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 16: twenty and then and then whenever we get Trevor in there,

649
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 16: it was it was pretty clear that he was he

650
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 16: was going to be a franchise guy, just kind of

651
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 16: the way he carried himself and the way he acted.

652
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 16: And obviously he had some you know, some coaching stuff

653
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 16: that went on and people in and out and kind

654
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 16: of some changes that were made, and uh, you know,

655
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 16: as a starting quarterback, that's that's got to be tough

656
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 16: to deal with and new playbooks and whatnot. But yeah,

657
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 16: to kind of see him stepping into that role this year,

658
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 16: and obviously we've seen it within our building the way

659
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 16: he's played and carried himself over the past few years.

660
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 16: And then now for the you know, the world and

661
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 16: the national media getting to see kind of who Trevor

662
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 16: is on the field, it's fun and it's you know,

663
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 16: he definitely has earned it and deserves it, and hopefully

664
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 16: you can keep this thing rolling.

665
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: Exciting times for the Jaguars on the field.

666
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: I said we would get off the field as well,

667
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: because Logan Cook, you are the Jaguars Walter Peyton Man

668
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: of the Year nominee. There you are with your wife Mary,

669
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: the Logan Cook punting for Clean Water Initiative. There you

670
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: guys doing some work with families in Kenya to make

671
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: sure that you can provide them with clean What are theirs?

672
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: Mary joining the program right now now?

673
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: I tried to ask this before we started this live

674
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: and we were having transmission interviews, and Logan thought I

675
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: was asking him. I was trying to ask Mary, how

676
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: far can you punt a football?

677
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: Mary?

678
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: Because he said seventy yards? Can you get close?

679
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 17: I cannot get anywhere close to seven seventy yards? I

680
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 17: get lucky if I hit the ball.

681
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: There you go.

682
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well I'm just curious on that part.

683
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: But you, you and your husband here as part of

684
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: the Logan Cook Foundation, tell us about the Clean Water

685
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: Initiative and all the work that you've done.

686
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's fun, it's honestly, She's kind of the backbone

687
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 16: of a lot of this. I feel like her name

688
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 16: should be on this nomination too. I owe her all

689
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 16: the credit. Whenever we got married, she was definitely really

690
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 16: started dating. She was kind of the person who, you know,

691
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 16: kind of taught me there's there's other people in this

692
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,959
Speaker 16: world beside yourself. And then to see the way that

693
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 16: she treated people and loved people, it definitely sparked something

694
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 16: in me. And and uh, yeah, I mean something that

695
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 16: I feel like our family.

696
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: Have three boys.

697
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 16: Now it's a it's a madhouse here at the moment,

698
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 16: but uh, some of our family just trying to live

699
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 16: by this is kind of what we're told is to

700
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 16: who much is given, much has required. And I feel

701
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 16: like there's no secret that us as NFL athletes and

702
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 16: really any professional athlete or blessed and in so many ways,

703
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 16: and so to be able to kind of give back

704
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 16: and kind of use our platform for other people who

705
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 16: need it. And yes, that's where the foundation started. We

706
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 16: kind of feltled to do more. And and you know,

707
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 16: she had a connection with with with this ministry, Zoe

708
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 16: Ministry out of Cleveland, Mississippi, and Taylor and Katie Summers.

709
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 16: They're awesome It's a long story of how they started

710
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 16: Zoe of there in Kenya, But before the foundation was

711
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 16: even going, we personally were sponsoring a couple of wells

712
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 16: and once we started our foundation, there was, you know,

713
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 16: no question who we're going to partner with. And after

714
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 16: making a trip over there to Africa, I'm sure that

715
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 16: this will last for a long time.

716
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 9: So here's a question for Mary. He says, you're sort

717
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 9: of the inspiration for all of this community work that

718
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 9: you do, Like, how do you decide which areas you

719
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 9: want to focus on? Because you're doing a lot of

720
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 9: work locally and then obviously you're doing work with clean

721
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 9: water in Africa. How do you pick and choose what

722
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 9: you want your foundation to work on.

723
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 17: Well, honestly, we pray about it a lot, and we

724
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 17: try to find things that are you know, near and

725
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 17: dear to our hearts. Going to Africa has always been

726
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 17: a dream of mine and so when I found when

727
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 17: I met Katie and Taylor, we just knew that was

728
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 17: going to be something special to us. And then the

729
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 17: local things that we get to do. I was a

730
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 17: nurse before I became a mom, and the Ronald McDonald

731
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 17: House was super special to us in the hospital, So

732
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 17: that was just something that kind of connected that for us,

733
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 17: and also the J fun just different things locally that

734
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 17: we were able to help out with the.

735
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: Jfund, Tom Cofflin's initiative to help families with cancer down

736
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: there in the Jacksonville area, also the New York area

737
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: as well. Last one, for you guys, the most poignant

738
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: moment when you go over there and you do that work.

739
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: What is it for for both of you? What has

740
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: it been on your trips to can you I'll start?

741
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 16: I think for me it was aside from all the

742
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 16: you know, the kids you meet, there's an orphanage that

743
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 16: Zoe Ministries actually started over there before they got the

744
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 16: water stuff going. And being able to see those kids

745
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 16: and kind of see the people who just volunteer to

746
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 16: help out there, it's pretty incredible. But for me, like

747
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 16: I said, we had sponsored a couple of wells, just

748
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 16: our family through Zoe before the foundation got started, and

749
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 16: we actually partnered with them. But whenever we've got to

750
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 16: go over there, and we were kind of just driving

751
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 16: to these little red clay roads in the back of

752
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 16: a little pretty sure it was a toilet to Colma,

753
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 16: just kind of on some rough roads and all of

754
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 16: a sudden we just pull up to this whale and

755
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 16: Taylor's like, hey, this is the first one you got sponsored.

756
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 16: And it was like instant tiers, just just a really

757
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 16: cool moment that we didn't know where we were going

758
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 16: and before we got into the place we're staying and

759
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 16: we just made a little quick stop by kind of

760
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 16: thing that really kickstarted all this And I think we

761
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 16: have a picture of us standing by and we got

762
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 16: to pump water out of the well and meet some

763
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 16: people rut there that actually benefit from it, And yeah,

764
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 16: that was for me, that was just the coolest moment

765
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 16: to see you see all these pictures, you know, you

766
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 16: feel that to give and do certain things, and to

767
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 16: actually see what what you're really plenty of football has

768
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 16: been able to do, it's pretty incredible.

769
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, for me, it would just be actual feet on

770
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 17: the ground and seeing like exactly where these kids are

771
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 17: walking and how far they're walking and having to miss

772
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 17: school because they can't get clean water closer. So I

773
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 17: think just being there with feet on the ground and

774
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 17: getting to be in the communities with the people and

775
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 17: just it just made it all seem so much more real.

776
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,760

00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

Speaker 2: You deserve a vanity. You are out, okay? Anyway, you

796
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: go there. Week seventeen Winners and losers. We want you

797
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 2: to read the whole thing, but we'll give you just

798
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: a little taste of it right now. Winners and losers,

799
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 2: let's start with the winner.

800
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 3: Sauty all right.

801
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 9: One winner Malik Willis his team did not win. That's

802
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 9: for sure what Malik Willis has put on tape as

803
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 9: to back up in Green Bay, while Jordan Love has

804
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 9: been out ought to earn him at least a few

805
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 9: glances for potential starting jobs next season. He accounted for

806
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 9: three hundred and forty eight yards last week against the Ravens.

807
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 9: The entire team netted three hundred and sixty rid yards.

808
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 9: That's how much he did. He was a one man offense.

809
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 9: There should be recognition around the league that he was

810
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 9: thrown into the fire too quickly in Tennessee. We have

811
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 9: certainly seen other quarterbacks develop when they get around good coaching,

812
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 9: and that maybe he is the next one. Also, quarterbacks

813
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 9: rookie Tyler Schuck in New Orleans. He has done so

814
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 9: well in these last few weeks he has inserted himself

815
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 9: into the rookie of the year conversation. He certainly seems

816
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 9: to have settled the conversation about whether they have found

817
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 9: their quarterback of the future in New Orleans. They have

818
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 9: won Foreigner Road, They've beaten the two teams that are

819
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 9: going to play for the NFC South this weekend. He

820
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 9: has had two straight three hundred yard passing games, he is.

821
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: On the right. They don't have a whole lot around him.

822
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 9: Other than Chris olave that he is certainly a quarterback

823
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 9: to build around.

824
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Saints and Kellim Moore, what they've done down

825
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 2: the stretch a fascinating story. Go back to Malik Willis

826
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: real fast. We're so quick to say these guys are done,

827
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: they can't play in this league. A little bit of

828
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: time in the right situation, and he comes along. A

829
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: love seeing that from Elik Willis.

830
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 3: All right, Dudy.

831
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 2: Even the losers get lucky sometimes, is what Tom Petty

832
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: and the Heartbreakers saying. That's about your second thing that

833
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 2: you're going to mention here. Start with your first one.

834
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: Though, all right.

835
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 9: The Steelers offense was a loser last week. We saw

836
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 9: what happened when dk Metcalf was suspended. They could barely

837
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 9: move the ball. Look, they have struggled to move the

838
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 9: ball on and off this season, but they were really

839
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 9: stuck in the mud last week against Cleveland. They were

840
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 9: only three or fifteen on third down. They did not

841
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 9: convert any fourth down attempt.

842
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: She could see it. At the end.

843
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 9: They only were gaining big chunks of jordage in that

844
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 9: frantic last driver where they were trying to get down there.

845
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 9: This is a team in trouble. They won't have DK

846
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 9: Metcalf again against the Ravens in the season finale, so

847
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 9: they are going to have to get another player to

848
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 9: step up and make a play. All right, the loser

849
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 9: the NFC's out look. Somebody is going to win this division,

850
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 9: the Bucks or the Panthers. The Panthers have not won

851
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 9: consecutive games since mid October. The good news for them

852
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 9: is they lost last weekend, so that means they are

853
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 9: due to win this weekend. We know that the Bucks

854
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 9: are just in freefall. They have collapsed in the second

855
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 9: half of the season. Lots of turnovers. Somebody is going

856
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 9: to win this division. Somebody is going to host a

857
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 9: playoff game. It's just hard to imagine the NFC South

858
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 9: champion making any kind of noise in the postseason.

859
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 2: It couldn't have been easy to forget. It's in my head.

860
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the whole time is in my head. I

861
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: went there and now it says I can't get Come on,

862
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 2: if I eliminated that quickly hit the golden buzzer, that's

863
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: a different show. Judy bus Batista, thank you very much.

864
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: Everybody click on that story and read it. Judy's coming

865
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: back momentarily Niners Seahawks, that is coming up. What I got,

866
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: What a fantastic game we had this matchup back in

867
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 2: Week one, which is why I'm bringing in Sam Schwartztein

868
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: Prime Videos Analytics expert to take the deep dive here

869
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: into the NFC West matchup or a match for the

870
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 2: NFC West and the number one seed. I talked about

871
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: Week one. What has changed since we saw these teams

872
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 2: play in Seattle.

873
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 14: Yeah, Sam Darnold played his worst game of the year

874
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 14: and it wasn't interceptions. He was just not completing that

875
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 14: many passes but not getting successful plays. He had one

876
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 14: backbreaking fumble that kind of costs on the game, a

877
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 14: non contact fumble. But here's the thing. As teams progress

878
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 14: throughout the year, they find their identity. That Week one

879
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 14: only eight percent play action. They're known as one of

880
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 14: the most play action teams. The deep play action shots

881
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 14: at Jackson Smith and JIGBA. Their season average is twenty

882
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 14: seven percent, so over three times more play action on

883
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 14: average compared to what they did in Week one. They're

884
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 14: only under center sixteen percent of the time, So now

885
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 14: they have a new identity. They're bringing a new thing

886
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 14: to stant A Claire this week.

887
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Clinton Kobeak not calling and running play action,

888
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: we got problems with an offense. Speaking of an offense

889
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: on the other side of the ball, Brock Party, you know,

890
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 2: game manager or why they pay them all this money? YadA, YadA, YadA.

891
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: What do the numbers say about what he's doing.

892
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 14: Look, the numbers have loved Brock Party since he started

893
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 14: in the NFL. We're looking at EPA production of stat

894
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 14: He's third in the NFL and EPA per dropback. But

895
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 14: what I want the Brock purty haters to realize is

896
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 14: when you look at the plays where there's a probability

897
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 14: of seventy five percent or more for a pass, Rock

898
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 14: Party is the best of the NFL in the passing

899
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 14: obvious scenarios. He is one of the best quarterback. I's

900
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 14: not the best quarterback in the NFL. So his ability

901
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 14: to be able to leverage his legs to be able

902
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 14: to stay within the pocket, he is the lowest yak

903
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 14: percent twenty two percent on those plays. So people all

904
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 14: the arguments of he's just getting the guys in space,

905
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 14: He's running the offense rock. Perty's making them pay with

906
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 14: his arms and his legs.

907
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: And if you've got analytics for touchdown dances, those have

908
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 2: to be off the charts.

909
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 5: Lately.

910
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 2: He's been phenomenal in that department. Christian McCaffrey, A little

911
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: bit of that, a little bit of everything. Christian McCaffrey.

912
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: We got to talk about him. What are the numbers

913
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 2: saying about what he has done this season.

914
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 14: He's a Stanford legend. So I can't do a Niners

915
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 14: segment without bringing up Christian McCaffrey. And look, he's leading

916
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 14: the NFL and receiving EPA for running backs. He's at

917
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 14: thirty seven point one after last night. Bijon Robinson's the

918
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 14: twenty two at the next highest. Most of you look

919
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 14: at the average running back on EPA, they're negative, so

920
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 14: he's that much better. And what makes him so unique

921
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 14: is twenty eight percent of his targets are against middle linebackers,

922
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 14: are inside linebackers. That's where he makes up sixty one

923
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 14: percent of his yards. So if you match him up

924
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 14: with a linebackers say hey, we're gonna just cover him here,

925
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 14: he will make you pay. He's unbelievable. He is the

926
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 14: most yards of any player against linebackers this season.

927
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was phenomenal from my fantasy team. Sam,

928
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: we wanted. I don't know if you saw that. I

929
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: posted it all over social media. Yes we did, with

930
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 2: the help of assistant general manager Michael f Florio. Sam
