1
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Really, the only thing missing from the Davante Adams saga

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: was a nineteenth century Macob poet. Until now, quoth the Raider, nevermore.

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: That'll probably be a few more days. We'll tell you

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: the latest on trade talk surrounding the star receiver. Kirk

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Cousins was swag surfing last night. Oh my god, I

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: don't know what that is, and I don't think Kirk

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: does either. Baldy, though, will be here to break down

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: another heart stopping Falcons win. Meanwhile, Brian Robinson, the Junior

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: and the Commanders are rolling, but will Robinson played through

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: his knee injury on Sunday against the Browns. Don't set

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: your fantasy lineup until you hear our interview with one

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: of the NFL's leading rushers. We're never questionable. Welcome inside

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: with the insiders alongside Mike Garafolo, I am Tom Pelissero.

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Week five in the NFL got off to a heckham

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: last night in Atlanta. We will get a lot more

16
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: on that game when it says about the state of

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: the NFC South, but let's start by looking ahead to Sunday.

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Some key injuries impacting the rest of Week five across

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: the NFL of course, a lot of eyes on the Colts.

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: They're running back Jonathan Taylor out with what we've reported

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: is a relatively mild high ankle spray, but a high

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: ankle nonetheless. Quarterback Anthony Richardson, by the way, listed as questionable.

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: That one's going to go potentially up until game time.

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon out once again because of his ankle. Malik

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Neighbors still in the concussion protocol, he is out against

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Michael Parsons also out, No surprise there as

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: he deals with his own high ankle spraying. Dallas without

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: its top two pass rushers, no DeMarcus Lawrence either as

29
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: they get set to head to Pittsburgh, and maybe some

30
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: fantasy owners getting Evan Inger back questionable with his hamstring.

31
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: David n Joku, by the way, also questionable, potentially tight

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: end help on the way. DeVante Adams well, he's out

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons, mainly for this week the hamstring injury.

34
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: Even if things were let's say.

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: On better terms right now between him and the Raiders,

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: we know, as Mike and Ian Rapport reported several days ago,

37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: Adams has told the Raiders he prefers to be traded

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: there are numerous teams involved in potential trade talks going

39
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: the team that Davante Well he hinted not so subtly

40
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: at today on social media by posting first a photo

41
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: of Edgar Allan Poe. He followed that up with a

42
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: quote from Poe saying, believe nothing you hear and half.

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: Of what you see.

44
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: Edgar Allan Poe of course connected to Ravens, as somebody

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: pointed out to me earlier today.

46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: He also wrote.

47
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Something about the mask of the Red Death or the

48
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: red mask of death or death whatever it was, something

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: like that is not the Chiefs. You can read all

50
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: you want into it here, Mike, but the reality is

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: we might still be a few days away from getting

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: resolution with DeVante Adams.

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: Where do we stand?

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: We stand with Davonte Adams now playing the social media

55
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: game and having some fun.

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 4: Listen. I think it was half having fun with us and.

57
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: Half an indication of one of the top teams on

58
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: his list of teams that he would like to play for.

59
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: And again we've made it clear that the Las Vegas

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: Raiders are not going to let him just pick his

61
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: destination and then send him there. They want to do

62
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: what's best for the organization in this case. So, yeah,

63
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: you want to go to the Jets, the Saints, the Ravens,

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: like he has interest in all these teams to a

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: certain degree. And frankly all these teams, and you're going

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: to see the cap space there, and cap space can

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: always be created. We always remind you of that all

68
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: those teams would have interest in him. It's just a

69
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: question of can they meet the asking price that the

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 3: Raiders are going to want and can they leap over

71
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: some of these other teams. Now, nothing is imminit from

72
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: what I'm told, and we continue with the timeline of

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: next week is when something could really heat up and

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: come together, and maybe something this weekend. Maybe if it's

75
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: an injury or a poor performance and a team goes,

76
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: you know what, we gotta go hard for Devonte Adams.

77
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: So it's hard to project this thing right now, but

78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: I believe he's made it clear that the Baltimore Ravens

79
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: would be one of the preferred landing spots for NT.

80
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: The Mask of the Red Death. See, I had it,

81
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: they had it on the first shot there, and then

82
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: I got my brain all confused. Not as famous of

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: a story from Edground Poe as the Raven though, of course,

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: so we'll see perhaps some other late nineteenth century poets

85
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: that he likes to reference in the coming days. Here

86
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: we know this, Jordan Love is still on DeVante Adams

87
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: old team, the Green Bay Packers, smiling at practice and

88
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: for good reason for the first time in close to

89
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: months as he sufvered that MCL spring in Brazil. Full

90
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: participation in practice this week for Jordan Love. He is

91
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: off the injury report. Good to go against the Rams, Mike,

92
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: This isn't a surprise with Jordan Love. He did take

93
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: the one hit on that knee during the game, but

94
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: which you saw after that was as that game went

95
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: on last week against the Vikings, even though they lost,

96
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: he seemed to get more comfortable. He was stepping into

97
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: his throws a little bit more normally.

98
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: Here.

99
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: Big game right across the street at Sofi Stadium.

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: For Green Bay this weekend.

101
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's going to be a big part of it

102
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: is gaining the confidence and getting that feelback, and the

103
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: injury itself starting to heal, and the MCL injury when

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: you turn a corner it really starts to improve. So

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: that process is not just done once he's back and playing. No,

106
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: this is something he's still going through right now, and

107
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: you're right, kind of did go through at mid game

108
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: the other day.

109
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: So the fact that he was upgraded.

110
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: To a full participant, had another week of practice, another

111
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: chance to go out there in a live game and

112
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 3: feel that knee underneath him and push off it and

113
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: drive off and move around with it. Everything he's got

114
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 3: to do is only going to build that confidence and

115
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 3: only going to allow him to get more comfortable, more effective,

116
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: and also give him a chance to protect himself even

117
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: better than he did last week.

118
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Some questions about his receiver group this week, Romeo Dobbs

119
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: Christian Watson both listed as doubtful. But when I saw

120
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Watson listed as doubtful, I actually said, that's a pretty

121
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: good sign, because last week it sounded like he was

122
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: going to be out for a lot more time than that.

123
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur said this week, Watson not going to land

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. Maybe they get him back sooner than later.

125
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Just doesn't sound like it's going to be this week.

126
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: The Vikings team, of course, that beat the Packers last week,

127
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: now off to London as we kick off the annual

128
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: series across the Atlantic. Vikings have made it to London,

129
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: where our Jamie Erda caught up with running back Aaron Jones,

130
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: who for the second week in a row, is facing

131
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: a team going the quarterback in this case that he

132
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: knows well.

133
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 5: Men er have a great relationship.

134
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 6: I think I owe him a lot of credit for

135
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 6: my career. He believed in me, really when kind of

136
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 6: nobody else did. Remember running onto the field and he

137
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 6: was like, hey, I'm your biggest fan in this organization,

138
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 6: and that did a lot for me as a rookie

139
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 6: stepping onto the field like, hey, I belong here.

140
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 5: He believes in me. I belong on this film, let

141
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: me prove him right.

142
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 6: So he's done a lot for me in my career

143
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 6: and I just like to thank him in it is

144
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 6: great to see him still playing and playing at a

145
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 6: high level.

146
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 7: Speaking of having belief in you, the Vikings did this

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 7: offseason and Kevin O'Connell has in this playbook what has

148
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 7: this offense felt like for you and why does it

149
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 7: suit Aaron Jones in your style so well?

150
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: I love this offense. The ko finds the creative ways.

151
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 6: That get me the ball, whether it's out in space,

152
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 6: running the ball, just finds those matchup advantages for us.

153
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 5: And that's across the blower, whether it's me.

154
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 6: Jed's Ja, any of the times of the receivers, any

155
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 6: of the backs. So just coming in learning that offense,

156
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 6: it blended in perfectly with kind of system that I

157
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 6: was in under in Green Bay. It's very similar to this,

158
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 6: but with this little little changes that Ko makes and

159
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 6: is those changes are nice.

160
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Quarterback Kirk Cousins had himself a night on Thursday.

161
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: Don't got a little EDGI toward the end. This is

162
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: twelve seconds to go.

163
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: They got to get into field goal range here to

164
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: tie the game up.

165
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: Hustle everybody to the line everyon.

166
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: When the Cowboys tried this and the official took like

167
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: ten seconds to reset the ball five times.

168
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: This guy just taps it. Falcons spike it with one

169
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: second to go. Young way Ku.

170
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: He had missed a couple earlier in the game, but

171
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: puts that one right down the heart and to overtime

172
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: we go. Falcons win the coin toss, which oftentimes means

173
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna win the game.

174
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: First and ten for the Bucks.

175
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: Forty five Cousins to cod Darryl Hodge, the legend himself

176
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: hits the speedvers right there pulls away from the Bucks defense.

177
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: A big win for the Falcons int thirty six to

178
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: thirty and just like that they got a piece of

179
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: first place in the NFC South. Kirk Cousins, I can

180
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: knot get over that celebration. I'll just kick it over

181
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: this number. Five hundred and nine passing yards for Kirk

182
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: Cousins in that game. Someone watching it live, it actually

183
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: felt like more than that. But Kirk Cousins put up

184
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: some big numbers. He has led some epic comebacks. That

185
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: was not the biggest, certainly one of the more fun

186
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: ones in Cousin's career. As we welcome in our Brian

187
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: Baldinger to the conversation, Baldy, you watched that game last night.

188
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: It was very much defense optional. The Falcons didn't get

189
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: a big play on defense from Jesse Bates poking that

190
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: ball loose from Bucky Irving. But you watch what Kirk

191
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: Cousins and that offense did. It seemed like a step

192
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: forward for Atlanta.

193
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 8: It was a huge step tom because he got everybody involved.

194
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 8: You know, it was Drake London, you know, it was

195
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 8: Kyle Pitts, it was Cardero Hodge, it was Darnell Mooney.

196
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 8: I mean, he spread the ball around to everybody, whether

197
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 8: you know b John Robinson out of the backfield, everybody

198
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 8: got involved. I mean to drop back sixty two times

199
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 8: in today's world against a Todd Bowles team that's going

200
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 8: to blitz him and everything. I mean, that's this throw

201
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 8: right here to Darnell Mooney. You gotta have the guts

202
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 8: of a burglar to make that throw into that spot

203
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 8: was Zion McCullum, right into the teeth of the zone

204
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 8: right here, and to trust your receiver to go up

205
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 8: and get it against a really good corner in McCollum.

206
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 8: That was as a gutsy play. And that's kind of

207
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 8: how he's played at the end of this game, at

208
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 8: the end of that Monday night game against the Eagles,

209
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 8: like he shows up when you need it the most,

210
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 8: and that was that was impressive. They brought him there

211
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 8: for a reason, and you're starting to see it right

212
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 8: now primetime.

213
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins has taken on a new meaning the last

214
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. Brian Baldinger, since he's got down there. Look,

215
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: I was down there for the Week one game against

216
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers and just leaving that stadium. I just

217
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: had this feeling of like, wow, it's really got this

218
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: feeling of uh pressure, things maybe starting to some cracks

219
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: in the foundation already.

220
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: But internally they had the confidence in him.

221
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: And and we haven't mentioned Michael Pennock's name in the

222
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks. And it really is impressive that

223
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins was able to shake off that debut. And

224
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: they said that, you know, he and Zach Robinson would

225
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: get to know each other better play caller, quarterback and

226
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: feel more comfortable. And that's evident because when they put

227
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: the ball in the air. That running game at times

228
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: was a little sluggish, but when they put the ball

229
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: in the air last night, you just saw the confidence

230
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: in the.

231
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 4: Way that they were calling things. I mean, some of

232
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: the like the one incompletion in the movie was a

233
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: drop ball. It was a great call and a great

234
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 4: route and a great throw. So they're really humming on offense.

235
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: And I give him credit for telling me after that

236
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: week one game, don't worry, we're going to get into

237
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: a groove.

238
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 4: And they certainly have.

239
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 8: You know, they only ran it, you know, less than

240
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 8: fifteen times last night. Was it was all Kirk Cousins.

241
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 8: But I really think that this offense, what Zach Robinson

242
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 8: is doing right now is I mean, this is the

243
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 8: best game I've seen Kyle Piss play in a long

244
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 8: long time. He got heavily involved in this game. There

245
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 8: was a lot of interesting type of route combinations and

246
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 8: it's really suited Kirk Cousins because the protection was very

247
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 8: good for most of the night, and that's something you

248
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 8: always have to really guard against against the Todd Bowles

249
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 8: blitzing defense. But they picked up the blitz as well.

250
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 8: It looked like Todd really backed off after a while.

251
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 8: And what you saw from Kirk is his ability to

252
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 8: go from the right side of the field all the

253
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 8: way to the left side and to really know where

254
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 8: all of his receivers are, just spatial relations of it,

255
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 8: and then the arm strength is still there to just

256
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 8: get it there, whether it's a second or third or

257
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 8: even the fourth read. On a couple of occasions last night,

258
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 8: Mike mentioned the prime time Kirk Cousins knock. The other

259
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 8: knock on Kirk was clutch. He's just a guy who

260
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 8: racks up big stats. He doesn't deliver down the stretch.

261
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 9: Well.

262
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: I think that he dispensed of that over the past

263
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: couple of years in Minnesota. But look what they've done

264
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: so far this season. Two and zero in primetime and

265
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: a game winning drive in all three of those engineered

266
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: by none other than Kirk Cousins. Baldy stick around a

267
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: lot more from you in a little bit here. Kirk

268
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Cousins and Baker Mayfield actually got together before that game

269
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: yesterday and also did something pretty cool, joining forces before

270
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: the game to support those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Baker

271
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: and Kirk have donated fifty thousand dollars each to a

272
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: veteran led nonprofit group called Team Rubicon. They help communities

273
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Aleen.

274
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 10: In the wake of Hurricane Aleen, countless lives have been

275
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 10: profoundly impacted across the Southeastern United States. The destruction was severe,

276
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 10: leaving many families struggling to find shelter and basic necessities.

277
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 10: That's why Kirk and I are teaming up and each

278
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 10: donating fifty thousand dollars to support Team Rubicon.

279
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 9: They have volunteers who are on the front lines, getting

280
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 9: their hands dirty and getting involved to do all the

281
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 9: work that it takes to clean.

282
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 10: Up their dedicated volunteers are working tirelessly to assist those

283
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 10: in need, ensuring that help will be able to reach

284
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 10: every single corner of the affected areas.

285
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 9: We're making donations and we want to bring a call

286
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 9: to action to encourage all of you to also help

287
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 9: give what you can.

288
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 10: We stand with those who have been affected, honoring the

289
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 10: lives lost and the families that are still in distress.

290
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 10: Together we can make a difference.

291

Speaker 9: If you want to learn more, you can visit Team

292
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 9: RUBICONUSA dot org to get involved with Baker and I

293
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 9: thanks God, bless.

294
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: Good on Kirk and Baker for putting that platform to

295
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: good use. Good on Brian Robinson Junior. Were even one

296
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: of the best stories in the NFL so far this

297
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 1: season in the NFL in rushing yards didn't practice a

298
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: whole lot this week. Will we see him on Sunday

299
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: against the Browns. Let's that's Brian Robinson Junior himself when

300
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: he joins the insiders. Right after this, he said last night.

301
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 11: Man, he said, it's great when you count on others

302
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 11: and they count on you. That way, victory is produced

303
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 11: by everybody, all right, And that's what tonight was, man,

304
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 11: fast physical we said.

305
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: Anybody, anywhere, any mother in time.

306
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 11: So we did what we came to do, all right,

307
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 11: So there'll be a number of game balls that will

308
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 11: be issued out, I'm sure tomorrow.

309
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 8: But there's one moment.

310
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: I ain't leaving this city without.

311
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 12: One look at the mother.

312
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: It is a fun time to be a Washington commander.

313
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: Fun time to be Cliff Kingsbury, fun time to be

314
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: our guest right now, top ten rusher in the NFL,

315
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,800

337
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: to go back to training camp. We visited the Ashburn,

338
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 3: Virginia Ian rappaport and I and I asked you, I said,

339
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 3: listen to everybody thinks Cliff Kingsbury sling the ball all

340
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: over the place, but the running game.

341
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: Is a big part of it.

342
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: And you told me quote, I know for sure we're

343
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: going to have a very great balance on this offense

344
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: right now, the twelfth in passing, the third rushing attack,

345
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: third ranked rushing attack in the league. What's been the

346
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 3: key for you and for this offense with his running

347
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: game so far this year?

348
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 13: The key has really just been, you know, just knowing

349
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 13: our strengths and using them to the best of our abilities.

350
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 13: You know, you know, we have a roster full of talent.

351
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 13: You know that we can use, you know, multiple different ways.

352
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 13: And I think our coach of staff is very aware of,

353
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 13: you know, the depth that we got at, you know,

354
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 13: several positions, and he wanted to just know best, you know,

355
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 13: utilize all of our abilities and just make sure that

356
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 13: you know, we were out there, you know, playing our best,

357
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 13: you know, and you know, and it looks different for

358
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 13: different guys, you know, And if it looks good for

359
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 13: me in a run game, he's going to make sure

360
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 13: that he, you know, pushes that for me. And if

361
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 13: it looks great for Terry in the past game, he's

362
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 13: going to for sure make sure you gets tear of

363
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 13: the ball.

364
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: It's funny, it was like a couple of weeks ago,

365
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: the big story was Whydon Terry mccluorin.

366
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: Get the ball.

367
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden he got all the balls

368
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks.

369
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: Here.

370
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: A big part of that your quarterback Jay Daniels. I mean,

371
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: he's a rookie man. We know what he was doing

372
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: at LSU and the strides he made, how he played

373
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: from the pocket, when you're standing there where you're on

374
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: the field, on the sideline whatever, watching him just drop

375
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: absolute dimes four games into his NFL career.

376
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: What's going through your mind?

377
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 14: You know, I've been with him since the day he

378
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 14: got drafted.

379
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 13: You know, I've seen you know, how he came in

380
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 13: and how you know he prepared, you know, from day one.

381
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 13: You know, Uh, he knew that this time was gonna come,

382
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 13: he was gonna be able to just show you know,

383
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 13: what he was capable of. And uh, you know, I'm

384
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 13: not even excited, you know, for what he's doing right now.

385
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 13: I'm more excited for, you know, what's to come.

386
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: Right I want to go back to that scene that

387
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: we showed of Cliff Kingsbury getting that love in the

388
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 3: postgame locker room, because the response from everybody there, the

389
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 3: way that that room erupted to me, showed the respect

390
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: and the love that you got for Cliff as an

391
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. What's it been like with you guys in

392
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: that locker room with regard to what he's done and

393
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: what kind of coach he's been for you.

394
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 13: I feel like, well, that just goes to show what

395
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 13: type of respect you know, Cliff has earned him. You know,

396
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 13: since he's been here. You know, he comes to work

397
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 13: every day. You could tell, you know, he has a

398
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 13: chip on his shoulder, you know, for our offense and

399
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 13: how much you know, you know, he wants to help us,

400
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 13: and he've made an immediate impact on our success and

00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 13: you know everybody in the building feels it, you know,

402
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,560

00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 13: much success on offense as we should have, you know recently,

417
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: brought to that entire building for a franchise that hasn't

418
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: had a high degree of success as a team in

419
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: a while.

420
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,359

425
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 13: you know, and you can't ask for a coach.

426
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,680

00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: has not been what some other teams have experienced over

00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: Man, we really appreciate it.

471
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 5: Thank you all.

472
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: Thank you for having Commanders Browns in the early window

473
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Cowboys Steelers in primetime. Can Dak and a

474
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: beat up d get a big road win over Justin

475
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: Fields and the Steelers. Baldy's back, so is our Jane Slater.

476
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: They'll help us all break it down next on the Insiders.

477
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: Justin Fields gets the ball once again for the Pittsburgh

478
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: Steelers as the starting quarterback. Russell Wilson working his way

479
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: back into full health. But right now, the Steelers, they

480
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 3: loved how Fields, as Mike Tomlin put it, didn't blink

481
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 3: and the way that he kind of led them back

482
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: in the second half.

483
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 4: Unable to come.

484
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 3: Away with the victory against the Colts, but showed some

485
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: resilience there and they certainly appreciated it.

486
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 4: So Jane Slater and.

487
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 3: Brian Baldinger, as we welcome you in, we now focus

488
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: on the Steelers next game.

489
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 4: And that is against the Dallas Cowboys.

490
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: Now, Justin Fields, the Cowboys have that type of quarterback

491
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 3: on the roster, Trey Lance. We assume that he played

492
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 3: the role of Justin Fields as the scout team quarterback

493
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: this week.

494
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: They've done that in the past with mobile quarterbacks.

495
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: So Jane, how does this defense stop fields and the

496
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 3: Steelers offense.

497
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 15: It's a great question, Mike, because the challenge that they

498
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 15: have right now is the fact you've got DeMarcus Lawrence,

499
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 15: who's now gone on ir Micah Parsons is not playing

500
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 15: in this one. Kaylin Carson, you thought the other corner

501
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 15: opposite Trayvon Diggs might be able to come along.

502
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 16: That's looking like a little bit more of a stretch.

503
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 15: And then, oh, by the way, Trayvon Diggs ended up

504
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 15: on the injury report with an ankle issue. Now, it

505
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 15: was Mike McCarthy, who was on K and C Masterpiece

506
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 15: on one O three five of the Fan who said

507
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 15: he feels pretty good about where he's at, But he

508
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 15: also cushioned it with saying, quote, everything points to him

509
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 15: probably going Sunday night.

510
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 16: So that probably had me wondering, Guys.

511
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 15: I reached out to a couple of folks and I

512
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 15: was told it does sound.

513
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 16: Like he will play, So that is some good news.

514
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 15: That means Marshawn Neelan Chauncey Golson, newly acquired kJ Hendry

515
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 15: expected to help get pressure on the passer, but Remember,

516
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 15: as you alluded to, Fils is a guy who likes

517
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 15: to use his legs. In fact, he has three touchdowns

518
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 15: this season using his legs the Steeler's only rushing scores,

519
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 15: which I found very hard to believe. The other issue

520
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 15: is he is a guy that with those designed runs.

521
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 15: Remember Lamar Jackson was a problem for them with the

522
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 15: design runs. Well, he's only second behind him. Now this

523
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 15: isn't big chunk plays, but my point here is that

524
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 15: they've got to be very.

525
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 16: Sound gap wise.

526
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 15: The other thing that I think the Cowboys really should

527
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 15: capitalize on is in the last two weeks, just like

528
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 15: the Cowboys, they've been off to a slow start. But

529
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 15: this is a really slow start for the Steelers. The

530
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 15: last two weeks they've just put up ten points in

531
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 15: the first half. So the Cowboys have been talking about

532
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 15: this ad nausea. The last couple of weeks, put up

533
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 15: some points early. This is the week to do.

534
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 8: That, you know, Jane. This is the first game Michael

535
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 8: Parsons has started fifty eight straight games for the Cowboys

536
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 8: and he's been the focal point of that defense. Now,

537
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 8: though it was whoever's been the coordinator, Dan Quinn for

538
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 8: three years, I mean, he's been the focal point every

539
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 8: time you face the Cowboys. You got to have a

540
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 8: plan for Micah Parsons, not for the game, every single play.

541
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 8: And now to have no tank and no Micah, and

542
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 8: you mentioned the guys that will be there, Marshawn Neil

543
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 8: and Carl Loss or whatever like, this is going to

544
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 8: be a different defense. And I don't know exactly how

545
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 8: they're going to pressure justin fields and what their game

546
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 8: plan is. Try to keep him in the pocket and

547
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 8: not let him get out. Imagine that'd be part of it.

548
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 8: That usually is make him throw the ball. But we're

549
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 8: gonna find out an awful lot about just how valuable

550
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 8: Micah Parsons is because everybody just looks at stats, and

551
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 8: stats don't tell nearly the story of how important he

552
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 8: is to the entire team. So I'm kind of see

553
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 8: how they play without Micah for the first time in

554
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 8: fifty eight games. To me, that's going to be one

555
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 8: of the more interesting parts of this entire game. The

556
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 8: Steelers are playing basically three rookies inside of the offense line.

557
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 8: Zach Frazier the center, you got McCormick the left guard.

558
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 8: You got Spencer Anders in the right guard. They're very

559
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 8: inexperienced upfront. Maybe the Cowboys can take advantage of that,

560
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 8: of that inexperience. I'm not saying a weakness, but maybe

561
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 8: that experience upfront with the Steelers and how they're trying

562
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 8: to evolve in their offense line with all the injuries

563
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 8: that they've sustained on that group.

564
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: Looking to the other side of the ball, Brandon Cooks

565
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: had a procedure in his knee and then developed an

566
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: so he'll he will not play in this game, Jane.

567
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 4: So who has to step up for Dallas here?

568
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 15: Well, Cebee Wam's going to have to step up in

569
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 15: a big way.

570
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 16: Unfortunately.

571
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 15: You know, as Dak Prescott who was talking this week

572
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 15: about you don't he doesn't need to necessarily be Superman,

573
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 15: but there are some ways that he can play a

574
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 15: little bit better using the legs, et cetera. But you know,

575
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 15: some of the issues for him has already been not

576
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 15: really being on the same page with the receivers. The

577
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 15: rhythm has been off. It's kind of been slow like

578
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 15: last season. But to lose Brandon Cooks, I mean, we

579
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 15: started seeing Brandon Cooks coming along here, but I was

580
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 15: beginning to think there was something going on with his knee,

581
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 15: and as you eluded, he ended up with an infection in.

582
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 16: That right knee.

583
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 15: Looks like he's going to miss a couple of games.

584
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 15: So who's up next? Well, you got the Jalens, Jalen Tolbert,

585
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 15: Jalen Brooks.

586
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 16: But one guy that I thought was really.

587
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 15: Interesting today it was Jerry Jones comparing number eighty.

588
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 16: That is Ryan Floorinoy. He is their six.

589
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 15: Round rookie pick out of Southeast Missouri. He went to

590
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 15: a couple schools, so I had to make sure it

591
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 15: was the last one. They liked what they saw in camp.

592
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 15: Jerry Jones was saying that he's an athlete, that he

593
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 15: has got some des Bryant type skill set there. I

594
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 15: think it's a little premature to put number eighty in

595
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 15: the same breath as number eighty eight, and that's not

596
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 15: what he's saying there necessarily, But he likes the athleticism

597
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 15: of Ryan Florae. Ryan Flornoy excited to go. We saw

598
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 15: some of them in preseason. He was really really interesting

599
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 15: to watch in camp. But this is an opportunity for

600
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 15: all of these young guys to step up. I do

601
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 15: think a little bit of an opportunity for Dak at least,

602
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 15: as we've been talking all year about how he's been

603
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 15: throwing into tight windows the most of any quarterback in

604
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 15: the league. The Steelers aren't exactly forcing a lot of

605
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 15: tight windows. In fact, I think they're ninth lowest pressuring that.

606
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 15: So it looks like he might get a little bit

607
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 15: more separation playing against this defense, and maybe an opportunity

608
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 15: with not a lot of tape out there on guys

609
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 15: like Ryan Flornoy.

610
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: Cowboys Steelers rematch of a couple of Super Bowls and

611
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy, Cowboys coach returns home to Western Pennsylvania. So

612
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: a couple of storylines there for you to watch. Snakey Jane,

613
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian Baldinger.

Speaker 17: The Jets and Vikings arriving here in London on Friday morning.

622
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 17: Aaron Rodgers, coming off that Broncos lost season low's completion percentage,

623
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 17: passer rating, he failed to throw a touchdown, and most importantly,

624
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 17: Denver's defense blitzed him at a near fifty percent clip.

625
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 17: Now he's going to face Brian Flores, his Vikings group

626
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 17: that blitz second highest rate in the NFL at roughly

627
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 17: forty one percent. Talk to ed drusher Jonathan who said

628
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 17: he's never faced Aaron Rodgers, never met him, but hopes

629
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 17: his first introduction is a sack. By the way, he's

630
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 17: got four of them this season. The Vikings leading the

631
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 17: NFL was seventeen total. As for Sam Darnold, with Minnesota

632
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 17: facing his former team, the group that drafted him third

633
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 17: overall in twenty eighteen, he said he's not really letting

634
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 17: his mind wander too much and actually told us that

635
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 17: he's kind of flushed New York from his memories, but

636
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 17: no doubt he is playing exceptional football, leading the NFL

637
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 17: with eleven passing touchdowns, he has tops and passer rating.

638
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 17: I spoke with his head coach, Kevin O'Connell. He's just

639
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 17: such an elite, pure passer, outstanding decision maker at the

640
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 17: line of scrimmage, and somebody that O'Connell told me he's

641
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 17: been able to rely upon in terms of the leadership

642
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 17: given all of his experience in his career, and he'll

643
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 17: be trying to lead this Vikings group to five and

644
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 17: zero here in London on Sunday.

645
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is not just growing the NFL abroad. Jefferson

646
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: is also a global ambassador for flag football. During today's

647
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: media availability, the Vikings wide out swap jerseys with now

648
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: Sika del Orto, the captain of the Italian women's national

649
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: flag football team. Flag football already part of the Pro

650
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: Bowl Games and will soon make its debut in the Olympics,

651
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: who potentially could be the quarterback for Team USA. How

652
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: about this guy Jayden Daniels, who's at times looked like

653
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: he's playing flag football with how accurate he's been early

654
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: in his career on.

655
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: On Ross Saint Brown.

656
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: We got room for you on that team as well,

657
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: But will we have room for Jamar Chase or any

658
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: others on Adam Rank's list of the high five Fantasy

659
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: players for a week five. Don't say a lineups without

660
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: watching this rank with us next on the Insiders, I

661
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: would hope you had Nico Collins in your fantasy lineup

662
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: last week. If he's on your roster, maybe the least

663
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: talked about best receiver going in the NFL Right now,

664
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,000

Speaker 2: Please explain and get us rolling there.

672
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 18: We're gonna We're gonna work this in the whole season.

673
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 18: We're gonna play at a number correlation.

674
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: To the week.

675
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 18: It'll be very daunting once we get to like fifteen,

676
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 18: but for right now, it's very simple, and we're gonna

677
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 18: go with high five high five players. I've got high

678
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 18: five players who can help you win this week. We're

679
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 18: not gonna listen. You notice star Jayden Daniels. You know

680
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 18: to start justin Jefferson, but there are some other guys

681
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 18: you might have some decisions about starting at the quarterback

682
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 18: position with Justin Fields. Now, we just heard Brian Baldinger

683
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 18: and Jane Slater talking about this contest coming up and

684
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 18: with Micah Parsons out, this is a real huge opportunity

685
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 18: for Justin Fields.

686
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 9: Now.

687
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 18: The Dallas Cowboys have had troubles stopping people who run

688
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 18: the football. Justin Fields does that pretty well. Not at

689
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 18: the clip that he was doing last year for Chicago,

690
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 18: but I truly believe that Justin Fields ends up as

691
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 18: a top five quarterback this week. He was the quarterback

692
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 18: one last week, which so that's not that huge, huge

693
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 18: of a stretch.

694
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: But he's going to have a great week this week.

695
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk. Let's go to the backfield, further

696
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: behind the quarterback. Let's talk about Josh Jacobs. Are we

697
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 3: high fivey? What's the segment?

698
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 18: We're high five and we're high five in there? Geezy, okay,

699
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 18: this way there there there it is.

700
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 5: All get it?

701
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 18: Yeah there there there, everybody.

702
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 5: I could have stop.

703
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 18: I was walking by Tom Pellisero on my way out

704
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 18: the door to come all the way home.

705
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: Forty miles away to come. But it doesn't matter, Actually

706
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.

707
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 5: Here's the thing.

708
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 18: Josh Jacobs has not really kind of performed the level

709
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 18: of expectations that we had for him coming into the season.

710
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 18: I think a lot of it has to do with

711
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 18: Matt Lafleur and his inability to focus on one running back.

712
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: I mean, Matt Lafleur was.

713
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 18: The guy who one time a couple of years ago,

714
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 18: was look looking at Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis and said,

715
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 18: you know what, we should split carries with these two

716
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 18: guys because they're very similar. But we do think this

717
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 18: is going to be a breakout point for Josh Jacobs

718
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 18: because the matchup against the La Rams is pretty advantageous.

719
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 18: We saw last week not only did the Bears have

720
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 18: success with DeAndre Swift, but Roshan Johnson also got into

721
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 18: the mix as well. So Josh Jacobs is going to

722
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 18: have a huge breakout opportunity here, and I'll just take

723
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 18: myself to the next running back just to save some time.

724
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 18: Jerome Ford gets slept on a lot now that I'm

725
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 18: just gonna do it. I'm gonna I'm gonna conserve some

726
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 18: time because I know that I fill a buster a

727
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 18: little bit.

728
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 5: Now, I'm okay, You're you're very right. There was one

729
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 5: week where Jerome.

730
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 18: Ford did not get the bulk of the carries for

731
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 18: the Cleveland Browns, but that was quickly rectified. So in

732
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 18: three of the four games for Cleveland, he has been

733
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 18: the workhorse running back. Great matchup this week against the

734
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 18: Washington Commanders. They've had trouble stopping offenses of all varieties,

735
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 18: and in a game where they will probably try to

736
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 18: establish the run to kind of keep Jayden Daniels off

737
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 18: the field, I think Jerome Ford gets a real good,

738
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 18: healthy opportunity here. So if you've been struggling for running

739
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 18: back help, Jerome Ford needs to be in your lineup.

740
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: How a wide receiver rank? What do you got for

741
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: me in your high five?

742
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 5: Well?

743
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 18: I like Jackson Smith and Jigba this week, and I

744
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 18: actually I really like the Seattle Seahawks offense. We're starting

745
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 18: Geno Smith and DK Metcalf. Those two are automatic, but

746
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 18: JSN is one that you know, it's always kind of

747
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 18: difficult because when you have three capable wide receivers, it's

748
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 18: always difficult to discern which guy outside of DK Metcalf

749
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 18: is going to be the one who is going to

750
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 18: pop off.

751
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: But with Tyler Lockett.

752
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 18: Being on the injury report this week, I think there's

753
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 18: a huge opportunity for JSN going up against that Giants team,

754
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 18: which really has had an inability of stopping people through

755
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 18: the air. So I love this to be one of

756
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 18: the higher scoring games of the weekend. So I'm gonna

757
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 18: get as many shares of this offense as possible. So

758
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 18: all the start, all your Seahawks, and Kenny Walker. The

759
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 18: third will also be a good one too, And I'm

760
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 18: gonna go back to the Browns if you don't mind,

761
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 18: I'll just talk about Jerry Judy. We know we noticed

762
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 18: Star Listen, gosh, dang it.

763
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 2: We noticed Star keep going.

764
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 18: We we notice start a Mari Cooper in this one.

765
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 18: But Jerry Judy quietly has been leading this team with

766
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 18: eighteen receptions close to two hundred receiving yards. Oh, the

767
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 18: totals on the board are correct, So yeah, he has

768
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 18: been kind of overlooked this year. And again, if the

769
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 18: game does get out of hand, if they're not able

770
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 18: to slow down Jade and Daniels and this gets into

771
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 18: a shootout, there's an opportunity for Deshaun Watson in this

772
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 18: offense to throw the ball in the air. Both Jerry

773
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 18: Judy and Amari Cooper are very capable plays and can

774
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 18: I say, do I have time for one quick PSA?

775
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: Do you mind?

776
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take it.

777
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 18: Hey, listen, Mike Garrifalo and I know the history of

778
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 18: the Baltimore Ravens.

779
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 5: Okay, we get it.

780
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,959
Speaker 18: We're joking, Okay, we're we're having fun with the post because,

781
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 18: like Mike tweeted out the post, the Adams, the Edgar

782
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 18: Allen Poe and we're joking around like hey, like.

783
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 2: He also wrote, he also wrote this, you know it was.

784
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 2: It was hilarious. And then people are coming like, did

785
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: you guys go the good.

786
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 5: Actually we're good jokers.

787
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 4: We're good yokers.

788
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 18: High five down, ayesh o, there we go give it

789
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 18: you guys something else off camera here right now.

790
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 2: Rank, you gotta wrap it up. Okay, thank you very much.

791
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, six pm Eastern Time on Monday. Can't

792
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: miss it a lot more. Rank, I'll be taking victory

793
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: laps and I'll full.

794
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,479
Speaker 2: Of the shows he does on ours. Derick Henry better

795
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: be in your lineup. He's on the Ravens.

796
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll have a new teammate soon, but for now,

797
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: the question is can the Bengals slow down the freight train?

798
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: Baldy's gonna be calling that game on Sunday, and he'll

799
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: give us a preview right after this. Nobody breaks it

800
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: down like Baldy. He's with us on the Insiders. One

801
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine yards on twenty four carries, including

802
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: this eighty seven yard touchdown. That was the stat line

803
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: last week for Derrick Henry as he ran all.

804
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: Over the Buffalo Bills.

805
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: How to the Bengals try to slow down Henry and

806
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: that Ravens offense this week. Nobody better to give us

807
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: some answers or at least some ideas on that front

808
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: than Brian Baldier, who is back with us. I'm Tom

809
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: Pella Sero here on the Insiders. Baldy, you're gonna be

810
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: calling this game on Sunday for Fox. You have all

811
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: the best games. Get break this one down for me.

812
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:18,479
Speaker 2: What do you see?

813
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 8: I will get to the game. I'll get to the breakdown, Tom.

814
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 8: But you know, earlier to start the show, you were

815
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 8: talking about Edgar Allan Poe. I'm a big fan. I

816
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 8: read all the works of Edgar Allen Poe. The Great

817
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 8: One was a caskable Manteato member Mont Tresser like he's

818
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 8: taking these insults from Fortunado, and I think in a

819
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 8: way like that story. It's a great story. It kind

820
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 8: of reminds me of this game, this matchup with the

821
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 8: Ravens and the Bengals this week, because really the Bengals

822
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 8: haven't been very good so far this year. Defensively, they've

823
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 8: been a mess. But Joe Burrow came out and said

824
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 8: this week that he's got to be perfect. He actually

825
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 8: literally has to be perfect. There's not enough when the

826
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 8: Ravens run the ball like they do, like they don't

827
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 8: give you enough possessions to start slow or wait for

828
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,479
Speaker 8: the game to come to you, is what he said.

829
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 8: You got to take that. You've got to start fast.

830
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 8: You've got to be perfect. You've got to score on

831
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 8: every possession. And that's how he's thinking. And I believe

832
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 8: right now, with all the pieces he has, including the

833
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 8: rookie right tackle Marius BIMs, who played very well in

834
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 8: his first start their first round pick out of Georgia

835
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 8: last week, that he's got t Higgins back, and Jamar

836
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 8: is healthy, and Iasovach is really good and the Backs

837
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 8: are good, Like this is their shot right now to

838
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 8: get back into the race. They're own to at home, Tom.

839
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 8: They know the Ravens are coming in, they know that

840
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 8: rushing attack is coming at him. I don't know if

841
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 8: they can make them bleed slowly and make them eat time.

842
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 8: But this is going to be a few possessions in

843
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 8: the game, maybe seven eight possessions. You've got to maximize it.

844
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 8: And I think Joe Burrow knows it. And I'm actually

845
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 8: looking for a game close to perfection from Joe Burrow

846
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 8: to keep them, keep them in this race, maybe win

847
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 8: this game, get back, getto the race.

848
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: Gonn be fun big one for the Bengals to kind

849
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: of stay alive or at least afloat in that AFC

850
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: North Division. Baldy, thank you very much. Enjoy the game,

851
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: Edgar Allen, will see you again.

852
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: Potentially.

853
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on Jonte Adams Instagram story for

854
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: more on that front.

855
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: Coming up after this.

856
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: A guy who didn't need social media to send a message,

857
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: although he would sometimes just like post a video of

858
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: him squatting twelve hundred pounds. You're just like, you're forty

859
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: years old, what are you doing? Would anybody be dumb

860
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: enough to get in the ring with James Harrison even now?

861
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: The answer is yes. Apparently. We'll explain next on the Insidives.

862
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: Time now for good news, bad news for your NFL

863
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: team and quite possibly your fantasy team as well. Good news,

864
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster has a chance to play. Certainly sounds like

865
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 1: he's gonna go after missing the last several games because

866
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: of his chest injury. Also, Odell Beckham Junior's got a

867
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: shot to make his season debut. They would have to

868
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: activate him from injured reserve on Saturday. Bad news, no surprise,

869
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is out for Dallas, probably going to miss

870
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: the next game, to be back after the bye.

871
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 2: Also Al Khalil.

872
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: Shakir, who came back into the game after suffering that

873
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: ankle injury last week, finished it out but not going

874
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: to go. So now the Bills go on take it

875
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: on the Texans, who have their old top weapons Stefan

876
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: Diggs without one of the wide receivers maybe the most

877
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: important one who has replaced him so far this season.

878
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,479
Speaker 1: Also Trey McBride Austin Eckler cleared concussion protocol. Good news

879
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: for both of those guys, they are good to go.

880
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: In other news, chad Ocho Cinco out of nowhere. This

881
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: is one of those classic Nobody was asking, but Chad says, Hey,

882
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: do you want to see me and James Harrison fight

883
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: MMA style? Yeah, We're gonna do that three rounds in

884
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans before the super Bowl.

885
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm so excited, Mike.

886
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily take anything that Ocho Cinco says at

887
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 1: face value here, But if he does in fact get

888
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: in the ring with j Harrison, what is your over

889
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: under on how long that fight lasts?

890
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a very quick one.

891
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: Which is not to say that Chad o Josinko can't

892
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: defend himself, can't carry himself.

893
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 4: Have you ever looked in that man's eyes? Chad?

894
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 3: They did a video the Steelers did their schedule reveal

895
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: of players trying to make him laugh with jokes. They

896
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 3: were like corny jokes, but I was laughing watching it.

897
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 3: That man didn't come close to laughing. Okay, you don't

898
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 3: want to step in that. What is it an octagon?

899
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 3: Don't do that. Don't do it yet.

900
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: There's simply no way that this actually occurs. Now, I

901
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: say that, and weirder things than this have happened. It

902
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: is New Orleans, after all. To be a fun week

903
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: down there cannot say that going to the five second

904
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: Chad Ocho Cinco James Harrison fight is going to make

905
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: my list of things to do. Maybe Chad can extend

906
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: it by just running away from them around the ring.

907
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: I just read the I'm so excited part of that tweet,

908
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: and I'm reading it like Jesse Spano on say.

909
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: By the I'm excited, I'm so scared.

910
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 1: Goodbye to Thank you to Edgar Allan Poe, the most

911
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,399
