Speaker 1: Really, the only thing missing from the Davante Adams saga
Speaker 1: was a nineteenth century Macob poet. Until now, quoth the Raider, nevermore.
Speaker 1: That'll probably be a few more days. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: the latest on trade talk surrounding the star receiver. Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins was swag surfing last night. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: don't know what that is, and I don't think Kirk
Speaker 1: does either. Baldy, though, will be here to break down
Speaker 1: another heart stopping Falcons win. Meanwhile, Brian Robinson, the Junior
Speaker 1: and the Commanders are rolling, but will Robinson played through
Speaker 1: his knee injury on Sunday against the Browns. Don't set
Speaker 1: your fantasy lineup until you hear our interview with one
Speaker 1: of the NFL's leading rushers. We're never questionable. Welcome inside
Speaker 1: with the insiders alongside Mike Garafolo, I am Tom Pelissero.
Speaker 1: Week five in the NFL got off to a heckham
Speaker 1: last night in Atlanta. We will get a lot more
Speaker 1: on that game when it says about the state of
Speaker 1: the NFC South, but let's start by looking ahead to Sunday.
Speaker 1: Some key injuries impacting the rest of Week five across
Speaker 1: the NFL of course, a lot of eyes on the Colts.
Speaker 1: They're running back Jonathan Taylor out with what we've reported
Speaker 1: is a relatively mild high ankle spray, but a high
Speaker 1: ankle nonetheless. Quarterback Anthony Richardson, by the way, listed as questionable.
Speaker 1: That one's going to go potentially up until game time.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon out once again because of his ankle. Malik
Speaker 1: Neighbors still in the concussion protocol, he is out against
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Michael Parsons also out, No surprise there as
Speaker 1: he deals with his own high ankle spraying. Dallas without
Speaker 1: its top two pass rushers, no DeMarcus Lawrence either as
Speaker 1: they get set to head to Pittsburgh, and maybe some
Speaker 1: fantasy owners getting Evan Inger back questionable with his hamstring.
Speaker 1: David n Joku, by the way, also questionable, potentially tight
Speaker 1: end help on the way. DeVante Adams well, he's out
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons, mainly for this week the hamstring injury.
Speaker 2: Even if things were let's say.
Speaker 1: On better terms right now between him and the Raiders,
Speaker 1: we know, as Mike and Ian Rapport reported several days ago,
Speaker 1: Adams has told the Raiders he prefers to be traded
Speaker 1: there are numerous teams involved in potential trade talks going
Speaker 1: the team that Davante Well he hinted not so subtly
Speaker 1: at today on social media by posting first a photo
Speaker 1: of Edgar Allan Poe. He followed that up with a
Speaker 1: quote from Poe saying, believe nothing you hear and half.
Speaker 2: Of what you see.
Speaker 1: Edgar Allan Poe of course connected to Ravens, as somebody
Speaker 1: pointed out to me earlier today.
Speaker 2: He also wrote.
Speaker 1: Something about the mask of the Red Death or the
Speaker 1: red mask of death or death whatever it was, something
Speaker 1: like that is not the Chiefs. You can read all
Speaker 1: you want into it here, Mike, but the reality is
Speaker 1: we might still be a few days away from getting
Speaker 1: resolution with DeVante Adams.
Speaker 2: Where do we stand?
Speaker 3: We stand with Davonte Adams now playing the social media
Speaker 3: game and having some fun.
Speaker 4: Listen. I think it was half having fun with us and.
Speaker 3: Half an indication of one of the top teams on
Speaker 3: his list of teams that he would like to play for.
Speaker 3: And again we've made it clear that the Las Vegas
Speaker 3: Raiders are not going to let him just pick his
Speaker 3: destination and then send him there. They want to do
Speaker 3: what's best for the organization in this case. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: you want to go to the Jets, the Saints, the Ravens,
Speaker 3: like he has interest in all these teams to a
Speaker 3: certain degree. And frankly all these teams, and you're going
Speaker 3: to see the cap space there, and cap space can
Speaker 3: always be created. We always remind you of that all
Speaker 3: those teams would have interest in him. It's just a
Speaker 3: question of can they meet the asking price that the
Speaker 3: Raiders are going to want and can they leap over
Speaker 3: some of these other teams. Now, nothing is imminit from
Speaker 3: what I'm told, and we continue with the timeline of
Speaker 3: next week is when something could really heat up and
Speaker 3: come together, and maybe something this weekend. Maybe if it's
Speaker 3: an injury or a poor performance and a team goes,
Speaker 3: you know what, we gotta go hard for Devonte Adams.
Speaker 3: So it's hard to project this thing right now, but
Speaker 3: I believe he's made it clear that the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 3: would be one of the preferred landing spots for NT.
Speaker 1: The Mask of the Red Death. See, I had it,
Speaker 1: they had it on the first shot there, and then
Speaker 1: I got my brain all confused. Not as famous of
Speaker 1: a story from Edground Poe as the Raven though, of course,
Speaker 1: so we'll see perhaps some other late nineteenth century poets
Speaker 1: that he likes to reference in the coming days. Here
Speaker 1: we know this, Jordan Love is still on DeVante Adams
Speaker 1: old team, the Green Bay Packers, smiling at practice and
Speaker 1: for good reason for the first time in close to
Speaker 1: months as he sufvered that MCL spring in Brazil. Full
Speaker 1: participation in practice this week for Jordan Love. He is
Speaker 1: off the injury report. Good to go against the Rams, Mike,
Speaker 1: This isn't a surprise with Jordan Love. He did take
Speaker 1: the one hit on that knee during the game, but
Speaker 1: which you saw after that was as that game went
Speaker 1: on last week against the Vikings, even though they lost,
Speaker 1: he seemed to get more comfortable. He was stepping into
Speaker 1: his throws a little bit more normally.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Big game right across the street at Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 2: For Green Bay this weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's going to be a big part of it
Speaker 3: is gaining the confidence and getting that feelback, and the
Speaker 3: injury itself starting to heal, and the MCL injury when
Speaker 3: you turn a corner it really starts to improve. So
Speaker 3: that process is not just done once he's back and playing. No,
Speaker 3: this is something he's still going through right now, and
Speaker 3: you're right, kind of did go through at mid game
Speaker 3: the other day.
Speaker 4: So the fact that he was upgraded.
Speaker 3: To a full participant, had another week of practice, another
Speaker 3: chance to go out there in a live game and
Speaker 3: feel that knee underneath him and push off it and
Speaker 3: drive off and move around with it. Everything he's got
Speaker 3: to do is only going to build that confidence and
Speaker 3: only going to allow him to get more comfortable, more effective,
Speaker 3: and also give him a chance to protect himself even
Speaker 3: better than he did last week.
Speaker 1: Some questions about his receiver group this week, Romeo Dobbs
Speaker 1: Christian Watson both listed as doubtful. But when I saw
Speaker 1: Watson listed as doubtful, I actually said, that's a pretty
Speaker 1: good sign, because last week it sounded like he was
Speaker 1: going to be out for a lot more time than that.
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur said this week, Watson not going to land
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. Maybe they get him back sooner than later.
Speaker 1: Just doesn't sound like it's going to be this week.
Speaker 1: The Vikings team, of course, that beat the Packers last week,
Speaker 1: now off to London as we kick off the annual
Speaker 1: series across the Atlantic. Vikings have made it to London,
Speaker 1: where our Jamie Erda caught up with running back Aaron Jones,
Speaker 1: who for the second week in a row, is facing
Speaker 1: a team going the quarterback in this case that he
Speaker 1: knows well.
Speaker 5: Men er have a great relationship.
Speaker 6: I think I owe him a lot of credit for
Speaker 6: my career. He believed in me, really when kind of
Speaker 6: nobody else did. Remember running onto the field and he
Speaker 6: was like, hey, I'm your biggest fan in this organization,
Speaker 6: and that did a lot for me as a rookie
Speaker 6: stepping onto the field like, hey, I belong here.
Speaker 5: He believes in me. I belong on this film, let
Speaker 5: me prove him right.
Speaker 6: So he's done a lot for me in my career
Speaker 6: and I just like to thank him in it is
Speaker 6: great to see him still playing and playing at a
Speaker 6: high level.
Speaker 7: Speaking of having belief in you, the Vikings did this
Speaker 7: offseason and Kevin O'Connell has in this playbook what has
Speaker 7: this offense felt like for you and why does it
Speaker 7: suit Aaron Jones in your style so well?
Speaker 5: I love this offense. The ko finds the creative ways.
Speaker 6: That get me the ball, whether it's out in space,
Speaker 6: running the ball, just finds those matchup advantages for us.
Speaker 5: And that's across the blower, whether it's me.
Speaker 6: Jed's Ja, any of the times of the receivers, any
Speaker 6: of the backs. So just coming in learning that offense,
Speaker 6: it blended in perfectly with kind of system that I
Speaker 6: was in under in Green Bay. It's very similar to this,
Speaker 6: but with this little little changes that Ko makes and
Speaker 6: is those changes are nice.
Speaker 1: Quarterback Kirk Cousins had himself a night on Thursday.
Speaker 2: Don't got a little EDGI toward the end. This is
Speaker 2: twelve seconds to go.
Speaker 1: They got to get into field goal range here to
Speaker 1: tie the game up.
Speaker 2: Hustle everybody to the line everyon.
Speaker 1: When the Cowboys tried this and the official took like
Speaker 1: ten seconds to reset the ball five times.
Speaker 2: This guy just taps it. Falcons spike it with one
Speaker 2: second to go. Young way Ku.
Speaker 1: He had missed a couple earlier in the game, but
Speaker 1: puts that one right down the heart and to overtime
Speaker 1: we go. Falcons win the coin toss, which oftentimes means
Speaker 1: you're gonna win the game.
Speaker 2: First and ten for the Bucks.
Speaker 1: Forty five Cousins to cod Darryl Hodge, the legend himself
Speaker 1: hits the speedvers right there pulls away from the Bucks defense.
Speaker 1: A big win for the Falcons int thirty six to
Speaker 1: thirty and just like that they got a piece of
Speaker 1: first place in the NFC South. Kirk Cousins, I can
Speaker 1: knot get over that celebration. I'll just kick it over
Speaker 1: this number. Five hundred and nine passing yards for Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins in that game. Someone watching it live, it actually
Speaker 1: felt like more than that. But Kirk Cousins put up
Speaker 1: some big numbers. He has led some epic comebacks. That
Speaker 1: was not the biggest, certainly one of the more fun
Speaker 1: ones in Cousin's career. As we welcome in our Brian
Speaker 1: Baldinger to the conversation, Baldy, you watched that game last night.
Speaker 1: It was very much defense optional. The Falcons didn't get
Speaker 1: a big play on defense from Jesse Bates poking that
Speaker 1: ball loose from Bucky Irving. But you watch what Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins and that offense did. It seemed like a step
Speaker 1: forward for Atlanta.
Speaker 8: It was a huge step tom because he got everybody involved.
Speaker 8: You know, it was Drake London, you know, it was
Speaker 8: Kyle Pitts, it was Cardero Hodge, it was Darnell Mooney.
Speaker 8: I mean, he spread the ball around to everybody, whether
Speaker 8: you know b John Robinson out of the backfield, everybody
Speaker 8: got involved. I mean to drop back sixty two times
Speaker 8: in today's world against a Todd Bowles team that's going
Speaker 8: to blitz him and everything. I mean, that's this throw
Speaker 8: right here to Darnell Mooney. You gotta have the guts
Speaker 8: of a burglar to make that throw into that spot
Speaker 8: was Zion McCullum, right into the teeth of the zone
Speaker 8: right here, and to trust your receiver to go up
Speaker 8: and get it against a really good corner in McCollum.
Speaker 8: That was as a gutsy play. And that's kind of
Speaker 8: how he's played at the end of this game, at
Speaker 8: the end of that Monday night game against the Eagles,
Speaker 8: like he shows up when you need it the most,
Speaker 8: and that was that was impressive. They brought him there
Speaker 8: for a reason, and you're starting to see it right
Speaker 8: now primetime.
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins has taken on a new meaning the last
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. Brian Baldinger, since he's got down there. Look,
Speaker 3: I was down there for the Week one game against
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers and just leaving that stadium. I just
Speaker 3: had this feeling of like, wow, it's really got this
Speaker 3: feeling of uh pressure, things maybe starting to some cracks
Speaker 3: in the foundation already.
Speaker 4: But internally they had the confidence in him.
Speaker 3: And and we haven't mentioned Michael Pennock's name in the
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks. And it really is impressive that
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins was able to shake off that debut. And
Speaker 3: they said that, you know, he and Zach Robinson would
Speaker 3: get to know each other better play caller, quarterback and
Speaker 3: feel more comfortable. And that's evident because when they put
Speaker 3: the ball in the air. That running game at times
Speaker 3: was a little sluggish, but when they put the ball
Speaker 3: in the air last night, you just saw the confidence
Speaker 3: in the.
Speaker 4: Way that they were calling things. I mean, some of
Speaker 4: the like the one incompletion in the movie was a
Speaker 4: drop ball. It was a great call and a great
Speaker 4: route and a great throw. So they're really humming on offense.
Speaker 3: And I give him credit for telling me after that
Speaker 3: week one game, don't worry, we're going to get into
Speaker 3: a groove.
Speaker 4: And they certainly have.
Speaker 8: You know, they only ran it, you know, less than
Speaker 8: fifteen times last night. Was it was all Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 8: But I really think that this offense, what Zach Robinson
Speaker 8: is doing right now is I mean, this is the
Speaker 8: best game I've seen Kyle Piss play in a long
Speaker 8: long time. He got heavily involved in this game. There
Speaker 8: was a lot of interesting type of route combinations and
Speaker 8: it's really suited Kirk Cousins because the protection was very
Speaker 8: good for most of the night, and that's something you
Speaker 8: always have to really guard against against the Todd Bowles
Speaker 8: blitzing defense. But they picked up the blitz as well.
Speaker 8: It looked like Todd really backed off after a while.
Speaker 8: And what you saw from Kirk is his ability to
Speaker 8: go from the right side of the field all the
Speaker 8: way to the left side and to really know where
Speaker 8: all of his receivers are, just spatial relations of it,
Speaker 8: and then the arm strength is still there to just
Speaker 8: get it there, whether it's a second or third or
Speaker 8: even the fourth read. On a couple of occasions last night,
Speaker 8: Mike mentioned the prime time Kirk Cousins knock. The other
Speaker 8: knock on Kirk was clutch. He's just a guy who
Speaker 8: racks up big stats. He doesn't deliver down the stretch.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 1: I think that he dispensed of that over the past
Speaker 1: couple of years in Minnesota. But look what they've done
Speaker 1: so far this season. Two and zero in primetime and
Speaker 1: a game winning drive in all three of those engineered
Speaker 1: by none other than Kirk Cousins. Baldy stick around a
Speaker 1: lot more from you in a little bit here. Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins and Baker Mayfield actually got together before that game
Speaker 1: yesterday and also did something pretty cool, joining forces before
Speaker 1: the game to support those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Baker
Speaker 1: and Kirk have donated fifty thousand dollars each to a
Speaker 1: veteran led nonprofit group called Team Rubicon. They help communities
Speaker 1: dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Aleen.
Speaker 10: In the wake of Hurricane Aleen, countless lives have been
Speaker 10: profoundly impacted across the Southeastern United States. The destruction was severe,
Speaker 10: leaving many families struggling to find shelter and basic necessities.
Speaker 10: That's why Kirk and I are teaming up and each
Speaker 10: donating fifty thousand dollars to support Team Rubicon.
Speaker 9: They have volunteers who are on the front lines, getting
Speaker 9: their hands dirty and getting involved to do all the
Speaker 9: work that it takes to clean.
Speaker 10: Up their dedicated volunteers are working tirelessly to assist those
Speaker 10: in need, ensuring that help will be able to reach
Speaker 10: every single corner of the affected areas.
Speaker 9: We're making donations and we want to bring a call
Speaker 9: to action to encourage all of you to also help
Speaker 9: give what you can.
Speaker 10: We stand with those who have been affected, honoring the
Speaker 10: lives lost and the families that are still in distress.
Speaker 10: Together we can make a difference.
Speaker 9: If you want to learn more, you can visit Team
Speaker 9: RUBICONUSA dot org to get involved with Baker and I
Speaker 9: thanks God, bless.
Speaker 1: Good on Kirk and Baker for putting that platform to
Speaker 1: good use. Good on Brian Robinson Junior. Were even one
Speaker 1: of the best stories in the NFL so far this
Speaker 1: season in the NFL in rushing yards didn't practice a
Speaker 1: whole lot this week. Will we see him on Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Browns. Let's that's Brian Robinson Junior himself when
Speaker 1: he joins the insiders. Right after this, he said last night.
Speaker 11: Man, he said, it's great when you count on others
Speaker 11: and they count on you. That way, victory is produced
Speaker 11: by everybody, all right, And that's what tonight was, man,
Speaker 11: fast physical we said.
Speaker 4: Anybody, anywhere, any mother in time.
Speaker 11: So we did what we came to do, all right,
Speaker 11: So there'll be a number of game balls that will
Speaker 11: be issued out, I'm sure tomorrow.
Speaker 8: But there's one moment.
Speaker 2: I ain't leaving this city without.
Speaker 12: One look at the mother.
Speaker 1: It is a fun time to be a Washington commander.
Speaker 1: Fun time to be Cliff Kingsbury, fun time to be
Speaker 1: our guest right now, top ten rusher in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and that Washington team, Brian Robinson Junior is with us,
Speaker 1: Brian and so much we want to talk to you
Speaker 1: about with your team right now, your surgeon at the
Speaker 1: right time. We gotta start out because there's like millions
Speaker 1: of people who have fantacy football teams. You're on it,
Speaker 1: you're one of the top players right now. What can
Speaker 1: you tell us about how you're feeling, how's the knee?
Speaker 1: And are you going to be out there Sunday against
Speaker 1: the Browns.
Speaker 13: I feel good, man, I made great progress this week.
Speaker 13: You know, you know, I never really made game time decisions,
Speaker 13: and until you know game time, you know, just just
Speaker 13: with my competitive nature, you know, just how tough you know,
Speaker 13: I try to, you know, be to just continue.
Speaker 5: So you know, I.
Speaker 13: Really can't answer that question until Sunday. You know, I
Speaker 13: feel great, so you know that should be enough, you know,
Speaker 13: to answer. But you know, just looking forward to it, you.
Speaker 4: Do get the final word.
Speaker 3: You got to let one of us know so we
Speaker 3: can break the news as to whether or not you're
Speaker 3: gonna You're gonna play on Sunday. But I do want
Speaker 3: to go back to training camp. We visited the Ashburn,
Speaker 3: Virginia Ian rappaport and I and I asked you, I said,
Speaker 3: listen to everybody thinks Cliff Kingsbury sling the ball all
Speaker 3: over the place, but the running game.
Speaker 4: Is a big part of it.
Speaker 3: And you told me quote, I know for sure we're
Speaker 3: going to have a very great balance on this offense
Speaker 3: right now, the twelfth in passing, the third rushing attack,
Speaker 3: third ranked rushing attack in the league. What's been the
Speaker 3: key for you and for this offense with his running
Speaker 3: game so far this year?
Speaker 13: The key has really just been, you know, just knowing
Speaker 13: our strengths and using them to the best of our abilities.
Speaker 13: You know, you know, we have a roster full of talent.
Speaker 13: You know that we can use, you know, multiple different ways.
Speaker 13: And I think our coach of staff is very aware of,
Speaker 13: you know, the depth that we got at, you know,
Speaker 13: several positions, and he wanted to just know best, you know,
Speaker 13: utilize all of our abilities and just make sure that
Speaker 13: you know, we were out there, you know, playing our best,
Speaker 13: you know, and you know, and it looks different for
Speaker 13: different guys, you know, And if it looks good for
Speaker 13: me in a run game, he's going to make sure
Speaker 13: that he, you know, pushes that for me. And if
Speaker 13: it looks great for Terry in the past game, he's
Speaker 13: going to for sure make sure you gets tear of
Speaker 13: the ball.
Speaker 1: It's funny, it was like a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: the big story was Whydon Terry mccluorin.
Speaker 2: Get the ball.
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden he got all the balls
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 1: A big part of that your quarterback Jay Daniels. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's a rookie man. We know what he was doing
Speaker 1: at LSU and the strides he made, how he played
Speaker 1: from the pocket, when you're standing there where you're on
Speaker 1: the field, on the sideline whatever, watching him just drop
Speaker 1: absolute dimes four games into his NFL career.
Speaker 2: What's going through your mind?
Speaker 14: You know, I've been with him since the day he
Speaker 14: got drafted.
Speaker 13: You know, I've seen you know, how he came in
Speaker 13: and how you know he prepared, you know, from day one.
Speaker 13: You know, Uh, he knew that this time was gonna come,
Speaker 13: he was gonna be able to just show you know,
Speaker 13: what he was capable of. And uh, you know, I'm
Speaker 13: not even excited, you know, for what he's doing right now.
Speaker 13: I'm more excited for, you know, what's to come.
Speaker 3: Right I want to go back to that scene that
Speaker 3: we showed of Cliff Kingsbury getting that love in the
Speaker 3: postgame locker room, because the response from everybody there, the
Speaker 3: way that that room erupted to me, showed the respect
Speaker 3: and the love that you got for Cliff as an
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. What's it been like with you guys in
Speaker 3: that locker room with regard to what he's done and
Speaker 3: what kind of coach he's been for you.
Speaker 13: I feel like, well, that just goes to show what
Speaker 13: type of respect you know, Cliff has earned him. You know,
Speaker 13: since he's been here. You know, he comes to work
Speaker 13: every day. You could tell, you know, he has a
Speaker 13: chip on his shoulder, you know, for our offense and
Speaker 13: how much you know, you know, he wants to help us,
Speaker 13: and he've made an immediate impact on our success and
Speaker 13: you know everybody in the building feels it, you know,
Speaker 13: you know, just because you know, we didn't have as
Speaker 13: much success on offense as we should have, you know recently,
Speaker 13: so everybody in the building and feel his feels his
Speaker 13: impact day in and day out.
Speaker 14: By how you know he you.
Speaker 13: Know, he comes to work and you know, draws the
Speaker 13: scripts up and make sure that he's putting out the
Speaker 13: best you know of his work to just make us
Speaker 13: be our best.
Speaker 1: I also love that locker room speech because it's like
Speaker 1: the epitome of dan Quinn.
Speaker 4: You see the energy in the juice.
Speaker 1: You also have to bleep out every third word because
Speaker 1: we can't play that particular word on TV. Just tell
Speaker 1: me about that, the energy and what dan Quinn has
Speaker 1: brought to that entire building for a franchise that hasn't
Speaker 1: had a high degree of success as a team in
Speaker 1: a while.
Speaker 14: It's been exciting or it's been through the roof.
Speaker 13: You know, I could say, you know, great energy, you know,
Speaker 13: great coach to be around, a great coach to you
Speaker 13: know want to play for. You know, he's a real coach,
Speaker 13: and he brings real juice no day in and day out,
Speaker 13: you know, and you can't ask for a coach.
Speaker 14: More exciting than that in his league.
Speaker 3: Brian, Three, your next four games are at home, starting
Speaker 3: Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Now, you've been there for
Speaker 3: a little bit, and you know that that home atmosphere
Speaker 3: has not been what some other teams have experienced over
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. But now I'm telling you,
Speaker 3: I'm expecting this because this fan base is juice. They're excited,
Speaker 3: they're feeding into this new coaching staff and this success
Speaker 3: you've had earlier this season. What kind of atmosphere are
Speaker 3: you now expecting three of the next four weeks.
Speaker 13: Honestly, I've been seeing it build up and up, you know,
Speaker 13: you know, as we've been growing this thing. You know,
Speaker 13: I'm just expending everybody to come out with their hair
Speaker 13: on fire, you know, and just you know, get behind
Speaker 13: us and cheer us on and just you know, let
Speaker 13: us feel that energy from them so that we can
Speaker 13: keep this thing on the road. You know, I'm sure
Speaker 13: you know these times are rare, you know, for this
Speaker 13: fan base, and you know, this a time for everybody
Speaker 13: to just make the most of it and just come
Speaker 13: out and get behind us.
Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna have to get after a pretty good
Speaker 1: Browns defense. A lot of talent on that team. All
Speaker 1: starts with number ninety five. When you meet Miles Garrett
Speaker 1: in a hole. If you end up in like a
Speaker 1: one on one situation with one of like the freakiest
Speaker 1: built dudes of all time, what's your plan?
Speaker 2: What does Brian Robinson do?
Speaker 13: I'll attack, you know, it really don't matter. I don't
Speaker 13: I don't see I don't see colors. I just see
Speaker 13: jersey numbers, and I just attack. So you know, when
Speaker 13: I see him in a hole, it's me and him,
Speaker 13: you know, and made the best man win on that up, you.
Speaker 14: Know, and it may be him, it may.
Speaker 13: Be meet you know, and we may meet several times,
Speaker 13: you know, and you know it's going to be the
Speaker 13: same mindset every time.
Speaker 1: Like Mike said, it is going to be a lot
Speaker 1: of fun in that building on Sunday the three and one.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this. We haven't gotten to say this
Speaker 2: in a while.
Speaker 1: The first place Washington Commanders taking on the Browns. This
Speaker 1: guy big part of it. Brian Robinson, thanks a ton
Speaker 1: for being here.
Speaker 2: Man, we really appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Thank you all.
Speaker 1: Thank you for having Commanders Browns in the early window
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Cowboys Steelers in primetime. Can Dak and a
Speaker 1: beat up d get a big road win over Justin
Speaker 1: Fields and the Steelers. Baldy's back, so is our Jane Slater.
Speaker 1: They'll help us all break it down next on the Insiders.
Speaker 3: Justin Fields gets the ball once again for the Pittsburgh
Speaker 3: Steelers as the starting quarterback. Russell Wilson working his way
Speaker 3: back into full health. But right now, the Steelers, they
Speaker 3: loved how Fields, as Mike Tomlin put it, didn't blink
Speaker 3: and the way that he kind of led them back
Speaker 3: in the second half.
Speaker 4: Unable to come.
Speaker 3: Away with the victory against the Colts, but showed some
Speaker 3: resilience there and they certainly appreciated it.
Speaker 4: So Jane Slater and.
Speaker 3: Brian Baldinger, as we welcome you in, we now focus
Speaker 3: on the Steelers next game.
Speaker 4: And that is against the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Now, Justin Fields, the Cowboys have that type of quarterback
Speaker 3: on the roster, Trey Lance. We assume that he played
Speaker 3: the role of Justin Fields as the scout team quarterback
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 4: They've done that in the past with mobile quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: So Jane, how does this defense stop fields and the
Speaker 3: Steelers offense.
Speaker 15: It's a great question, Mike, because the challenge that they
Speaker 15: have right now is the fact you've got DeMarcus Lawrence,
Speaker 15: who's now gone on ir Micah Parsons is not playing
Speaker 15: in this one. Kaylin Carson, you thought the other corner
Speaker 15: opposite Trayvon Diggs might be able to come along.
Speaker 16: That's looking like a little bit more of a stretch.
Speaker 15: And then, oh, by the way, Trayvon Diggs ended up
Speaker 15: on the injury report with an ankle issue. Now, it
Speaker 15: was Mike McCarthy, who was on K and C Masterpiece
Speaker 15: on one O three five of the Fan who said
Speaker 15: he feels pretty good about where he's at, But he
Speaker 15: also cushioned it with saying, quote, everything points to him
Speaker 15: probably going Sunday night.
Speaker 16: So that probably had me wondering, Guys.
Speaker 15: I reached out to a couple of folks and I
Speaker 15: was told it does sound.
Speaker 16: Like he will play, So that is some good news.
Speaker 15: That means Marshawn Neelan Chauncey Golson, newly acquired kJ Hendry
Speaker 15: expected to help get pressure on the passer, but Remember,
Speaker 15: as you alluded to, Fils is a guy who likes
Speaker 15: to use his legs. In fact, he has three touchdowns
Speaker 15: this season using his legs the Steeler's only rushing scores,
Speaker 15: which I found very hard to believe. The other issue
Speaker 15: is he is a guy that with those designed runs.
Speaker 15: Remember Lamar Jackson was a problem for them with the
Speaker 15: design runs. Well, he's only second behind him. Now this
Speaker 15: isn't big chunk plays, but my point here is that
Speaker 15: they've got to be very.
Speaker 16: Sound gap wise.
Speaker 15: The other thing that I think the Cowboys really should
Speaker 15: capitalize on is in the last two weeks, just like
Speaker 15: the Cowboys, they've been off to a slow start. But
Speaker 15: this is a really slow start for the Steelers. The
Speaker 15: last two weeks they've just put up ten points in
Speaker 15: the first half. So the Cowboys have been talking about
Speaker 15: this ad nausea. The last couple of weeks, put up
Speaker 15: some points early. This is the week to do.
Speaker 8: That, you know, Jane. This is the first game Michael
Speaker 8: Parsons has started fifty eight straight games for the Cowboys
Speaker 8: and he's been the focal point of that defense. Now,
Speaker 8: though it was whoever's been the coordinator, Dan Quinn for
Speaker 8: three years, I mean, he's been the focal point every
Speaker 8: time you face the Cowboys. You got to have a
Speaker 8: plan for Micah Parsons, not for the game, every single play.
Speaker 8: And now to have no tank and no Micah, and
Speaker 8: you mentioned the guys that will be there, Marshawn Neil
Speaker 8: and Carl Loss or whatever like, this is going to
Speaker 8: be a different defense. And I don't know exactly how
Speaker 8: they're going to pressure justin fields and what their game
Speaker 8: plan is. Try to keep him in the pocket and
Speaker 8: not let him get out. Imagine that'd be part of it.
Speaker 8: That usually is make him throw the ball. But we're
Speaker 8: gonna find out an awful lot about just how valuable
Speaker 8: Micah Parsons is because everybody just looks at stats, and
Speaker 8: stats don't tell nearly the story of how important he
Speaker 8: is to the entire team. So I'm kind of see
Speaker 8: how they play without Micah for the first time in
Speaker 8: fifty eight games. To me, that's going to be one
Speaker 8: of the more interesting parts of this entire game. The
Speaker 8: Steelers are playing basically three rookies inside of the offense line.
Speaker 8: Zach Frazier the center, you got McCormick the left guard.
Speaker 8: You got Spencer Anders in the right guard. They're very
Speaker 8: inexperienced upfront. Maybe the Cowboys can take advantage of that,
Speaker 8: of that inexperience. I'm not saying a weakness, but maybe
Speaker 8: that experience upfront with the Steelers and how they're trying
Speaker 8: to evolve in their offense line with all the injuries
Speaker 8: that they've sustained on that group.
Speaker 3: Looking to the other side of the ball, Brandon Cooks
Speaker 3: had a procedure in his knee and then developed an
Speaker 3: so he'll he will not play in this game, Jane.
Speaker 4: So who has to step up for Dallas here?
Speaker 15: Well, Cebee Wam's going to have to step up in
Speaker 15: a big way.
Speaker 16: Unfortunately.
Speaker 15: You know, as Dak Prescott who was talking this week
Speaker 15: about you don't he doesn't need to necessarily be Superman,
Speaker 15: but there are some ways that he can play a
Speaker 15: little bit better using the legs, et cetera. But you know,
Speaker 15: some of the issues for him has already been not
Speaker 15: really being on the same page with the receivers. The
Speaker 15: rhythm has been off. It's kind of been slow like
Speaker 15: last season. But to lose Brandon Cooks, I mean, we
Speaker 15: started seeing Brandon Cooks coming along here, but I was
Speaker 15: beginning to think there was something going on with his knee,
Speaker 15: and as you eluded, he ended up with an infection in.
Speaker 16: That right knee.
Speaker 15: Looks like he's going to miss a couple of games.
Speaker 15: So who's up next? Well, you got the Jalens, Jalen Tolbert,
Speaker 15: Jalen Brooks.
Speaker 16: But one guy that I thought was really.
Speaker 15: Interesting today it was Jerry Jones comparing number eighty.
Speaker 16: That is Ryan Floorinoy. He is their six.
Speaker 15: Round rookie pick out of Southeast Missouri. He went to
Speaker 15: a couple schools, so I had to make sure it
Speaker 15: was the last one. They liked what they saw in camp.
Speaker 15: Jerry Jones was saying that he's an athlete, that he
Speaker 15: has got some des Bryant type skill set there. I
Speaker 15: think it's a little premature to put number eighty in
Speaker 15: the same breath as number eighty eight, and that's not
Speaker 15: what he's saying there necessarily, But he likes the athleticism
Speaker 15: of Ryan Florae. Ryan Flornoy excited to go. We saw
Speaker 15: some of them in preseason. He was really really interesting
Speaker 15: to watch in camp. But this is an opportunity for
Speaker 15: all of these young guys to step up. I do
Speaker 15: think a little bit of an opportunity for Dak at least,
Speaker 15: as we've been talking all year about how he's been
Speaker 15: throwing into tight windows the most of any quarterback in
Speaker 15: the league. The Steelers aren't exactly forcing a lot of
Speaker 15: tight windows. In fact, I think they're ninth lowest pressuring that.
Speaker 15: So it looks like he might get a little bit
Speaker 15: more separation playing against this defense, and maybe an opportunity
Speaker 15: with not a lot of tape out there on guys
Speaker 15: like Ryan Flornoy.
Speaker 3: Cowboys Steelers rematch of a couple of Super Bowls and
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy, Cowboys coach returns home to Western Pennsylvania. So
Speaker 3: a couple of storylines there for you to watch. Snakey Jane,
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian Baldinger.
Speaker 1: It's Sunday Morning Football Live from London at nine thirty
Speaker 1: am Eastern, exclusively on NFL Network. Aaron Rodgers and the
Speaker 1: Jets take on Justin Jefferson and the Vikings at Tottenham
Speaker 1: Hotspurs Stadium in London. So rise, shine and watch Jets
Speaker 1: versus Vikings on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus.
Speaker 1: Subscription required for NFL Plus. Also live from London are
Speaker 1: friend Stacy Dale's.
Speaker 17: The Jets and Vikings arriving here in London on Friday morning.
Speaker 17: Aaron Rodgers, coming off that Broncos lost season low's completion percentage,
Speaker 17: passer rating, he failed to throw a touchdown, and most importantly,
Speaker 17: Denver's defense blitzed him at a near fifty percent clip.
Speaker 17: Now he's going to face Brian Flores, his Vikings group
Speaker 17: that blitz second highest rate in the NFL at roughly
Speaker 17: forty one percent. Talk to ed drusher Jonathan who said
Speaker 17: he's never faced Aaron Rodgers, never met him, but hopes
Speaker 17: his first introduction is a sack. By the way, he's
Speaker 17: got four of them this season. The Vikings leading the
Speaker 17: NFL was seventeen total. As for Sam Darnold, with Minnesota
Speaker 17: facing his former team, the group that drafted him third
Speaker 17: overall in twenty eighteen, he said he's not really letting
Speaker 17: his mind wander too much and actually told us that
Speaker 17: he's kind of flushed New York from his memories, but
Speaker 17: no doubt he is playing exceptional football, leading the NFL
Speaker 17: with eleven passing touchdowns, he has tops and passer rating.
Speaker 17: I spoke with his head coach, Kevin O'Connell. He's just
Speaker 17: such an elite, pure passer, outstanding decision maker at the
Speaker 17: line of scrimmage, and somebody that O'Connell told me he's
Speaker 17: been able to rely upon in terms of the leadership
Speaker 17: given all of his experience in his career, and he'll
Speaker 17: be trying to lead this Vikings group to five and
Speaker 17: zero here in London on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is not just growing the NFL abroad. Jefferson
Speaker 1: is also a global ambassador for flag football. During today's
Speaker 1: media availability, the Vikings wide out swap jerseys with now
Speaker 1: Sika del Orto, the captain of the Italian women's national
Speaker 1: flag football team. Flag football already part of the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl Games and will soon make its debut in the Olympics,
Speaker 1: who potentially could be the quarterback for Team USA. How
Speaker 1: about this guy Jayden Daniels, who's at times looked like
Speaker 1: he's playing flag football with how accurate he's been early
Speaker 1: in his career on.
Speaker 2: On Ross Saint Brown.
Speaker 1: We got room for you on that team as well,
Speaker 1: But will we have room for Jamar Chase or any
Speaker 1: others on Adam Rank's list of the high five Fantasy
Speaker 1: players for a week five. Don't say a lineups without
Speaker 1: watching this rank with us next on the Insiders, I
Speaker 1: would hope you had Nico Collins in your fantasy lineup
Speaker 1: last week. If he's on your roster, maybe the least
Speaker 1: talked about best receiver going in the NFL Right now,
Speaker 1: here are more complicated roster decisions. Monday, six pm Eastern
Speaker 1: on NF Fantasy Live. One of the stars of that
Speaker 1: show joining us right now as we go inside with
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, it's Adam Rank joining me, Tom Pelicero
Speaker 1: as well as Mike Garofolo.
Speaker 2: Adam, I am told you've.
Speaker 1: Got a high five for week five of players.
Speaker 2: Please explain and get us rolling there.
Speaker 18: We're gonna We're gonna work this in the whole season.
Speaker 18: We're gonna play at a number correlation.
Speaker 2: To the week.
Speaker 18: It'll be very daunting once we get to like fifteen,
Speaker 18: but for right now, it's very simple, and we're gonna
Speaker 18: go with high five high five players. I've got high
Speaker 18: five players who can help you win this week. We're
Speaker 18: not gonna listen. You notice star Jayden Daniels. You know
Speaker 18: to start justin Jefferson, but there are some other guys
Speaker 18: you might have some decisions about starting at the quarterback
Speaker 18: position with Justin Fields. Now, we just heard Brian Baldinger
Speaker 18: and Jane Slater talking about this contest coming up and
Speaker 18: with Micah Parsons out, this is a real huge opportunity
Speaker 18: for Justin Fields.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 18: The Dallas Cowboys have had troubles stopping people who run
Speaker 18: the football. Justin Fields does that pretty well. Not at
Speaker 18: the clip that he was doing last year for Chicago,
Speaker 18: but I truly believe that Justin Fields ends up as
Speaker 18: a top five quarterback this week. He was the quarterback
Speaker 18: one last week, which so that's not that huge, huge
Speaker 18: of a stretch.
Speaker 2: But he's going to have a great week this week.
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk. Let's go to the backfield, further
Speaker 3: behind the quarterback. Let's talk about Josh Jacobs. Are we
Speaker 3: high fivey? What's the segment?
Speaker 18: We're high five and we're high five in there? Geezy, okay,
Speaker 18: this way there there there it is.
Speaker 5: All get it?
Speaker 18: Yeah there there there, everybody.
Speaker 5: I could have stop.
Speaker 18: I was walking by Tom Pellisero on my way out
Speaker 18: the door to come all the way home.
Speaker 2: Forty miles away to come. But it doesn't matter, Actually
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing.
Speaker 18: Josh Jacobs has not really kind of performed the level
Speaker 18: of expectations that we had for him coming into the season.
Speaker 18: I think a lot of it has to do with
Speaker 18: Matt Lafleur and his inability to focus on one running back.
Speaker 2: I mean, Matt Lafleur was.
Speaker 18: The guy who one time a couple of years ago,
Speaker 18: was look looking at Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis and said,
Speaker 18: you know what, we should split carries with these two
Speaker 18: guys because they're very similar. But we do think this
Speaker 18: is going to be a breakout point for Josh Jacobs
Speaker 18: because the matchup against the La Rams is pretty advantageous.
Speaker 18: We saw last week not only did the Bears have
Speaker 18: success with DeAndre Swift, but Roshan Johnson also got into
Speaker 18: the mix as well. So Josh Jacobs is going to
Speaker 18: have a huge breakout opportunity here, and I'll just take
Speaker 18: myself to the next running back just to save some time.
Speaker 18: Jerome Ford gets slept on a lot now that I'm
Speaker 18: just gonna do it. I'm gonna I'm gonna conserve some
Speaker 18: time because I know that I fill a buster a
Speaker 18: little bit.
Speaker 5: Now, I'm okay, You're you're very right. There was one
Speaker 5: week where Jerome.
Speaker 18: Ford did not get the bulk of the carries for
Speaker 18: the Cleveland Browns, but that was quickly rectified. So in
Speaker 18: three of the four games for Cleveland, he has been
Speaker 18: the workhorse running back. Great matchup this week against the
Speaker 18: Washington Commanders. They've had trouble stopping offenses of all varieties,
Speaker 18: and in a game where they will probably try to
Speaker 18: establish the run to kind of keep Jayden Daniels off
Speaker 18: the field, I think Jerome Ford gets a real good,
Speaker 18: healthy opportunity here. So if you've been struggling for running
Speaker 18: back help, Jerome Ford needs to be in your lineup.
Speaker 1: How a wide receiver rank? What do you got for
Speaker 1: me in your high five?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 18: I like Jackson Smith and Jigba this week, and I
Speaker 18: actually I really like the Seattle Seahawks offense. We're starting
Speaker 18: Geno Smith and DK Metcalf. Those two are automatic, but
Speaker 18: JSN is one that you know, it's always kind of
Speaker 18: difficult because when you have three capable wide receivers, it's
Speaker 18: always difficult to discern which guy outside of DK Metcalf
Speaker 18: is going to be the one who is going to
Speaker 18: pop off.
Speaker 2: But with Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 18: Being on the injury report this week, I think there's
Speaker 18: a huge opportunity for JSN going up against that Giants team,
Speaker 18: which really has had an inability of stopping people through
Speaker 18: the air. So I love this to be one of
Speaker 18: the higher scoring games of the weekend. So I'm gonna
Speaker 18: get as many shares of this offense as possible. So
Speaker 18: all the start, all your Seahawks, and Kenny Walker. The
Speaker 18: third will also be a good one too, And I'm
Speaker 18: gonna go back to the Browns if you don't mind,
Speaker 18: I'll just talk about Jerry Judy. We know we noticed
Speaker 18: Star Listen, gosh, dang it.
Speaker 2: We noticed Star keep going.
Speaker 18: We we notice start a Mari Cooper in this one.
Speaker 18: But Jerry Judy quietly has been leading this team with
Speaker 18: eighteen receptions close to two hundred receiving yards. Oh, the
Speaker 18: totals on the board are correct, So yeah, he has
Speaker 18: been kind of overlooked this year. And again, if the
Speaker 18: game does get out of hand, if they're not able
Speaker 18: to slow down Jade and Daniels and this gets into
Speaker 18: a shootout, there's an opportunity for Deshaun Watson in this
Speaker 18: offense to throw the ball in the air. Both Jerry
Speaker 18: Judy and Amari Cooper are very capable plays and can
Speaker 18: I say, do I have time for one quick PSA?
Speaker 2: Do you mind?
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take it.
Speaker 18: Hey, listen, Mike Garrifalo and I know the history of
Speaker 18: the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 5: Okay, we get it.
Speaker 18: We're joking, Okay, we're we're having fun with the post because,
Speaker 18: like Mike tweeted out the post, the Adams, the Edgar
Speaker 18: Allen Poe and we're joking around like hey, like.
Speaker 2: He also wrote, he also wrote this, you know it was.
Speaker 2: It was hilarious. And then people are coming like, did
Speaker 2: you guys go the good.
Speaker 5: Actually we're good jokers.
Speaker 4: We're good yokers.
Speaker 18: High five down, ayesh o, there we go give it
Speaker 18: you guys something else off camera here right now.
Speaker 2: Rank, you gotta wrap it up. Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, six pm Eastern Time on Monday. Can't
Speaker 1: miss it a lot more. Rank, I'll be taking victory
Speaker 1: laps and I'll full.
Speaker 2: Of the shows he does on ours. Derick Henry better
Speaker 2: be in your lineup. He's on the Ravens.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll have a new teammate soon, but for now,
Speaker 1: the question is can the Bengals slow down the freight train?
Speaker 1: Baldy's gonna be calling that game on Sunday, and he'll
Speaker 1: give us a preview right after this. Nobody breaks it
Speaker 1: down like Baldy. He's with us on the Insiders. One
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine yards on twenty four carries, including
Speaker 1: this eighty seven yard touchdown. That was the stat line
Speaker 1: last week for Derrick Henry as he ran all.
Speaker 2: Over the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: How to the Bengals try to slow down Henry and
Speaker 1: that Ravens offense this week. Nobody better to give us
Speaker 1: some answers or at least some ideas on that front
Speaker 1: than Brian Baldier, who is back with us. I'm Tom
Speaker 1: Pella Sero here on the Insiders. Baldy, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: calling this game on Sunday for Fox. You have all
Speaker 1: the best games. Get break this one down for me.
Speaker 2: What do you see?
Speaker 8: I will get to the game. I'll get to the breakdown, Tom.
Speaker 8: But you know, earlier to start the show, you were
Speaker 8: talking about Edgar Allan Poe. I'm a big fan. I
Speaker 8: read all the works of Edgar Allen Poe. The Great
Speaker 8: One was a caskable Manteato member Mont Tresser like he's
Speaker 8: taking these insults from Fortunado, and I think in a
Speaker 8: way like that story. It's a great story. It kind
Speaker 8: of reminds me of this game, this matchup with the
Speaker 8: Ravens and the Bengals this week, because really the Bengals
Speaker 8: haven't been very good so far this year. Defensively, they've
Speaker 8: been a mess. But Joe Burrow came out and said
Speaker 8: this week that he's got to be perfect. He actually
Speaker 8: literally has to be perfect. There's not enough when the
Speaker 8: Ravens run the ball like they do, like they don't
Speaker 8: give you enough possessions to start slow or wait for
Speaker 8: the game to come to you, is what he said.
Speaker 8: You got to take that. You've got to start fast.
Speaker 8: You've got to be perfect. You've got to score on
Speaker 8: every possession. And that's how he's thinking. And I believe
Speaker 8: right now, with all the pieces he has, including the
Speaker 8: rookie right tackle Marius BIMs, who played very well in
Speaker 8: his first start their first round pick out of Georgia
Speaker 8: last week, that he's got t Higgins back, and Jamar
Speaker 8: is healthy, and Iasovach is really good and the Backs
Speaker 8: are good, Like this is their shot right now to
Speaker 8: get back into the race. They're own to at home, Tom.
Speaker 8: They know the Ravens are coming in, they know that
Speaker 8: rushing attack is coming at him. I don't know if
Speaker 8: they can make them bleed slowly and make them eat time.
Speaker 8: But this is going to be a few possessions in
Speaker 8: the game, maybe seven eight possessions. You've got to maximize it.
Speaker 8: And I think Joe Burrow knows it. And I'm actually
Speaker 8: looking for a game close to perfection from Joe Burrow
Speaker 8: to keep them, keep them in this race, maybe win
Speaker 8: this game, get back, getto the race.
Speaker 1: Gonn be fun big one for the Bengals to kind
Speaker 1: of stay alive or at least afloat in that AFC
Speaker 1: North Division. Baldy, thank you very much. Enjoy the game,
Speaker 1: Edgar Allen, will see you again.
Speaker 2: Potentially.
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on Jonte Adams Instagram story for
Speaker 1: more on that front.
Speaker 2: Coming up after this.
Speaker 1: A guy who didn't need social media to send a message,
Speaker 1: although he would sometimes just like post a video of
Speaker 1: him squatting twelve hundred pounds. You're just like, you're forty
Speaker 1: years old, what are you doing? Would anybody be dumb
Speaker 1: enough to get in the ring with James Harrison even now?
Speaker 1: The answer is yes. Apparently. We'll explain next on the Insidives.
Speaker 1: Time now for good news, bad news for your NFL
Speaker 1: team and quite possibly your fantasy team as well. Good news,
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster has a chance to play. Certainly sounds like
Speaker 1: he's gonna go after missing the last several games because
Speaker 1: of his chest injury. Also, Odell Beckham Junior's got a
Speaker 1: shot to make his season debut. They would have to
Speaker 1: activate him from injured reserve on Saturday. Bad news, no surprise,
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is out for Dallas, probably going to miss
Speaker 1: the next game, to be back after the bye.
Speaker 2: Also Al Khalil.
Speaker 1: Shakir, who came back into the game after suffering that
Speaker 1: ankle injury last week, finished it out but not going
Speaker 1: to go. So now the Bills go on take it
Speaker 1: on the Texans, who have their old top weapons Stefan
Speaker 1: Diggs without one of the wide receivers maybe the most
Speaker 1: important one who has replaced him so far this season.
Speaker 1: Also Trey McBride Austin Eckler cleared concussion protocol. Good news
Speaker 1: for both of those guys, they are good to go.
Speaker 1: In other news, chad Ocho Cinco out of nowhere. This
Speaker 1: is one of those classic Nobody was asking, but Chad says, Hey,
Speaker 1: do you want to see me and James Harrison fight
Speaker 1: MMA style? Yeah, We're gonna do that three rounds in
Speaker 1: New Orleans before the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited, Mike.
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily take anything that Ocho Cinco says at
Speaker 1: face value here, But if he does in fact get
Speaker 1: in the ring with j Harrison, what is your over
Speaker 1: under on how long that fight lasts?
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a very quick one.
Speaker 3: Which is not to say that Chad o Josinko can't
Speaker 3: defend himself, can't carry himself.
Speaker 4: Have you ever looked in that man's eyes? Chad?
Speaker 3: They did a video the Steelers did their schedule reveal
Speaker 3: of players trying to make him laugh with jokes. They
Speaker 3: were like corny jokes, but I was laughing watching it.
Speaker 3: That man didn't come close to laughing. Okay, you don't
Speaker 3: want to step in that. What is it an octagon?
Speaker 3: Don't do that. Don't do it yet.
Speaker 1: There's simply no way that this actually occurs. Now, I
Speaker 1: say that, and weirder things than this have happened. It
Speaker 1: is New Orleans, after all. To be a fun week
Speaker 1: down there cannot say that going to the five second
Speaker 1: Chad Ocho Cinco James Harrison fight is going to make
Speaker 1: my list of things to do. Maybe Chad can extend
Speaker 1: it by just running away from them around the ring.
Speaker 1: I just read the I'm so excited part of that tweet,
Speaker 1: and I'm reading it like Jesse Spano on say.
Speaker 2: By the I'm excited, I'm so scared.
Speaker 1: Goodbye to Thank you to Edgar Allan Poe, the most
Speaker 1: important person on this show. Say you Monday, everybody You're
Speaker 1: on this show, never more, Buddy,
