1
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: Sixty nine glorious degrees in Tampa, Florida right now.

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: You know what that means, cream sickle weather. It also means.

3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: They're a lot warmer down there than we are in

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: the northeast. So this is going to be your good

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: weather game for the weekend. Are Sarah Walsh is there

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: to talk Bucks Falcons ahead of Thursday Night Football.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: We've got some mark key matchups.

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Our guy Mark Ross's going to be here to discuss

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Jared Golf, Matthew Stafford and the defenses that

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: they are going to be facing in some key games

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: this weekend. And Michael f Florio helped get you to

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: the fantasy playoffs, or at least he helped me get

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: to the Fantasy playoffs. Now he's going to tell you

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: who to start and who to sit, not just tonight

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football, but the whole weekend in the NFL.

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: That's how we do it.

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: Here on the Insiders, welcome inside with us Judy Batista,

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport and me Mike Garraffalo. We have got a

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: crucial game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We have the

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: Carolina there's right on their shoulder in the NFC South.

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: They've got to win this game after losing to the Saints.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that and everything going on

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: around the NFL, including this one, a weird one.

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: TJ.

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: Watt.

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: This statement from the Steelers Bert Lawton, their media relations director.

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: TJ.

28
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: Watt currently in a local hospital for further medical evaluation

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: of his lung after experiencing discomfort at the practice facility

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. He did not practice on Thursday. Status for

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: Monday in question. Coach Tim will provide more updates at

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: the appropriate time. The appropriate time was a little bit

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: after that, and here is the update from Tom.

34
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 4: I'm a little bit, you know, cautious about what I

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 4: was saying because I'm not a medical expert. But to

36
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: make a long story short, he was experiencing some discomfort

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: when he was at the facility yesterday, and so we

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: took them to the docks and you know, they're they're

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 4: going through some procedures. He stayed overnight in the hospital.

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: He has a lung situation that's being addressed. I think

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: he has some testing and so forth ahead of them

42
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: this afternoon.

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: And that's all.

44
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: I knew this juncture here and not communicated last night.

45
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: He was comfortable, and that's all I have really at

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: this point. His status for Monday night is really up

47
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 4: in the air. I think what transpires this afternoon is

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: going to provide more information for us. I just don't

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 4: have a lot as I stand.

50
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Here today, hoping for the best for tj A WoT

51
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: beyond just the football status, his entire health status. Meanwhile,

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: elsewhere in the AFC North, the Ravens with an extension

53
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: for Travis Jones, who we thought was going to be

54
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent, and then there were some question

55
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: there were some technicalities he may have been a restricted

56
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: free agent, which means his earning potential this offseason may

57
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: have been a lot lower. So the sides had some

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: discussions and they reached basically a compromise here a three

59
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: year it's a pretty good compromise.

60
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: Forty point five million.

61
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: Dollar extension with twenty five million guaranteed. Jones and the

62
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Ravens defense will be trying to stop this guy, Joe Burrow,

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: who had some comments that have some people thinking what's

64
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: going on here and what's what the pauses and everything.

65
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Listen to this from Burrow.

66
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 5: No, it certainly doesn't change my desire to win. You know,

67
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 5: if I want to, if I want to keep doing this,

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 5: I have to have fun doing it. You know, I've

69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 5: been through a lot, and if it's not fun, then

70
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 5: what am I doing it for? So that's mindset I'm

71
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: trying to bring to the table.

72
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit worrisome.

73
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: There're not going to try to guess what's happening in

74
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's mind, but there will be more.

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: Questions and hopefully more answers from Burrow.

76
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, you got the Raiders flying to Philadelphia to take

77
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: on the Eagles.

78
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: Another disappointing loss.

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: Four interceptions for Jalen Hurts plus a fumble, so five

80
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: total turnovers for a guy who didn't turn over the

81
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: football early in the season. This Eagles offense and Hurts

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: the season just hasn't been right this year.

83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 2: So that led to some of these.

84
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Questions from WI Radio in Philly to Nick Sirianniks.

85
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 6: Jalen definitely your starter Sunday, Yeah, absolutely.

86
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: Is there a possibility later this season if he continues

87
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: to struggle, that you can make a change at the

88
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: quarterback spot.

89
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 7: No, I think that's ridiculous, you know, I think, you know,

90
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 7: every time I walk on in that field and Jalen

91
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 7: Hurts as the starting quarterback. I have so much confidence

92
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 7: that we can win every game, in any game that

93
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 7: we play, and that we're in.

94
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: All right, We're going to talk Eagles for a change.

95
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: I'm kidding.

96
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: We've had pretty much the same conversation every single week

97
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: with the Eagles because this one has been troublesome for

98
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 1: a team that won the Super Bowl and was pretty

99
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: much running at will, and then once they were running

100
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: so well they were able to throw at will. It

101
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: just hasn't been right. So ian now the questions are

102
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: about the quarterback. Do you see any scenario in which

103
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianna may change his answer or what happens?

104
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: Where do you go from here?

105
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 8: First of all, this is not the same conversation every

106
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 8: other time we've talked about the Eagles. It seems it's

107
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 8: been focused around Aj Brown, right, I mean that has

108
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 8: been it's been the angst of AJ Brown wanting the

109
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 8: ball his social media posts, and now he's gone off

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 8: and had a couple of really nice games in a row,

111
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 8: and we aren't actually for now for the first time

112
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 8: talking about Jalen Hurts the starting quarterback. And I think

113
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 8: internally with the Philadelphia Egles. Some of these conversations have

114
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 8: been going on. Remember when there was the Saquon Barkley

115
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 8: Jalen Hurts AJ Brown parking lot conversation. Does seem like

116
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 8: some of the arrows or whatever you want to call them,

117
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 8: we're directed at Jalen Hurts just publicly. This has not

118
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 8: been the conversation. Now, Judy, it's all out in the open.

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 8: When the WIP radio hosts are starting to ask Nick

120
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 8: Sirianne whether or not his Super Bowl MVP of a

121
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 8: quarterback is someone they could bench, that's gotten pretty real.

122
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: Here's what I know. The Eagles need to get.

123
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 8: Better on offense, they need to start winning, and Jalen

124
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 8: Hurts is no longer bulletproof.

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: We're going to get through this season.

126
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 8: Whatever the Eagles do, they will do however they perform,

127
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 8: if they fix it or not. But all of these

128
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 8: questions are going to come up again in the off

129
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 8: season and the egos are going to have to have

130
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 8: some answers.

131
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: And that is what I know.

132
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 8: And when the conversation gets like this, all out in

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 8: the open, everything is up for grabs.

134
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 9: I would say.

135
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 10: Absolutely, It's going to be a very interesting off season.

136
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 10: But let's just bring it back to like this week,

137
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 10: right now? Should they bend him? I mean no, You're

138
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 10: going into the most important games of the season and

139
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 10: you want to roll out the backup quarterback who has

140
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 10: played his only real appearance was last year in a

141
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 10: game that didn't matter at the end of the season.

142
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 10: That is just not a practical solution for the Philadelphia Eagles.

143
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 10: The offense has been off the entire season, certainly especially

144
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 10: in the last few weeks.

145
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 11: Jalen has not played well.

146
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 10: Actually last week I thought he played well, like it

147
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 10: in moments like the drive that led to the game

148
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 10: tying field goal actually looked good.

149
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: That was fine.

150
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 10: And then obviously interceptions are terrible. But it's too late

151
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 10: to fix all of those things now. But the reality

152
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 10: is you're about to face the Raiders. This is a

153
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 10: potential sorry to say this about the Raiders, this is

154
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 10: a potential get right game for the Philadelphia Eagles. This

155
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 10: is an opportunity to try to get into a rhythm

156
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 10: on the offense, to try to work out some of

157
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 10: the kings, to try to build a little confidence, and

158
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 10: get everybody back on the same page. All of the

159
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 10: things that have to be dealt with in the off

160
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 10: season are for the off season, but for right now.

161
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 10: You can't bench your Super Bowl winning quarterback with the

162
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 10: most important part of the season ahead of you for

163
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 10: a backup quarterback. I know, backup quarterbacks are always the

164
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 10: most popular guy in town, but a backup quarterback who's

165
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 10: got like no playing experience, that is just not a

166
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 10: viable option for this team.

167
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eagles got the Commanders coming up as well, a

168
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: couple of games against the Commanders, a team that they

169
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: have played well against. I know they're not going to

170
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: the postseason, but they may present a challenge. But you're right, Judy,

171
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: some winnable game games on the schedule here for them

172
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: to close out. Finally, in NFC East, they probably should

173
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: have closed out by now.

174
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of teams trying.

175
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: To close things out, here is the playoff picture as

176
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: it stands right now.

177
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: Nobody's in nobody's I mean, this is how wide open

178
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: it is.

179
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: And that's how many teams with good records that we've

180
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: got right there. You see the Bucks down. They were

181
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: going to get to them in a second. But here's

182
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: how some of these teams can get in do not.

183
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: I've got this game on Sunday, this Buffalo, New England game.

184
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Do not mentioned to the Patriots that it is a

185
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: hat and T shirt game. In fact, they spoke to

186
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: Christian Ellis, He's like, it's that one of those what

187
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: do you call it games? He knows what they call it.

188
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: They're just trying not to say it up in New England. Meanwhile,

189
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: down there in Tampa Bay, perhaps the Bucks could have

190
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: easily coasted to the division title, but they've had some

191
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: mishaps in the last couple of weeks and that is

192
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: why tonight they are facing not a must win, but

193
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, really probably should win games Sarah Walsh.

194
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: Against the Atlanta Falcons.

195
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: With the Panthers a team they have coming up twice

196
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, the Panthers right on

197
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: their tail, get us ready for this game tonight.

198
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: It's got to be a get right game for the Bucks.

199
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, you touched on it, Mike g Despite that six

200
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 12: and two start to the season, there is no cushion

201
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 12: left for the Buccaneers. That is because they have dropped

202
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 12: four of their last five. They are currently tied right

203
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 12: now for the division lead with the Carolina Panthers.

204
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 13: But you know what can really spark an offense bringing.

205
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 12: Back a guy with some Hall of Fame credentials, and

206
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 12: that is what the Bucks expect to see tonight because

207
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 12: they are going to get Mike Evans back. He has

208
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 12: been out since October twentieth when he broke his collarbone.

209
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 13: Not only are they.

210
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 12: Expecting to have Mike Evans back on the field, but

211
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 12: we should see the season debut.

212
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 13: Of Jalen McMillan tonight. Last year is a rookie receiver.

213
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 12: He finished the year with seven touchdowns in his last

214
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 12: five games. Having those two back on the field will

215
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 12: be massive for this offense because really they have spent

216
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 12: this season relying in that receiver's room on a rookie

217
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 12: and a Mecca Abuka because Chris Godwin has been in

218
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 12: and out. As for the two guys returning tonight, McMillan

219
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 12: and Evans, Todd Bole says that they looked good, they

220
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 12: looked fresh, They ran great routes this week. He said,

221
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 12: they look like they have never left and clearly this

222
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 12: Buccaneers team is going to need that. When I spoke

223
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 12: to Chris Godwin this week, he said, it has never

224
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 12: been cleaned for us this year. We have never really

225
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 12: been healthy and Baker Mayfield. He hasn't missed a game,

226
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 12: but he has not been healthy either. Godwin told me

227
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 12: you wouldn't know it though by the way he carries

228
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 12: himself at work. He said that has been infectious. And

229
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 12: these Buccaneers really could use a boost for Baker and

230
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 12: this offense if they want to take a step closer

231
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 12: to claiming a fifth straight division title.

232
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 10: Mike, Welcome back to the Insiders. It is Chargers week

233
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 10: for the Kansas City Chiefs. That's one of the very

234
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 10: consequential games of the weekend. Frankly, at this time of

235
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 10: the year, most of the games feel really really consequential.

236
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 10: The Chiefs, of course, are hanging on by a thread

237
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 10: to any playoff chances.

238
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 11: Here is Patrick Mahomes on the urgency of the moment.

239
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 14: I mean, we understand we got win. I mean, I

240
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 14: think that's at the point that's obvious. I mean, just

241
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 14: like you got to win the football game, and so

242
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 14: whatever it takes, you know, I mean, we said it

243
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 14: every week, but obviously you're kind of that back against

244
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 14: the wall time spot where you're playing a team that's

245
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 14: you're chasing, that that has a big lead in front

246
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 14: of you, and so you got to find a way

247
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 14: to win, and so you got to have that mindset

248
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 14: we step on the football field.

249
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 10: It's incredible that we are having this conversation this late

250
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 10: in this season. Let's welcome in our Jane Slater and

251
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 10: Brian Baldinger to talk about this. Jane, we just heard

252
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 10: from Patrick Mahomes. He knows what the math is. This

253
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 10: is clearly a dire situation for the Chiefs.

254
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 15: Which certainly makes this game in Kansas City all the

255
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 15: more entertaining. Baldy, I hear that you're going to be

256
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 15: there looking forward to that one.

257
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: You know.

258
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 15: He expanded on that, talking a little bit more about

259
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 15: maybe there's things that he can do too. Maybe it's

260
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 15: not taking the home run shot, maybe it's just getting

261
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 15: the completion. But at this point they have got to

262
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 15: win out the rest of this postseason to keep it alive.

263
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 15: To talk about kind of the unprecedented territory for Mahomes

264
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 15: and his team. Mahomes hasn't lost three consecutive straight games

265
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 15: in a season since his senior year at Texas Tech.

266
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 15: He's also been hit ninety plus times this season, among

267
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 15: the most in the league, and help up front can't

268
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 15: come soon. It up now there's talk that right guard

269
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 15: Tray Smith might mean back if he's available, that would help.

270
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 15: But right now we're looking at Juwan Taylor. Is he

271
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 15: going to be good to go with this triceps injury.

272
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 15: They've also going to be calling on that undrafted rookie

273
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 15: asapool to fill in on this offensive line.

274
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 2: Now.

275
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 11: Obviously, the one thing that Mahomes does great is he

276
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 11: creates things.

277
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 15: Outside of the pocket. The Chargers are bracing for exactly that.

278
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 15: If you look at their numbers, they've allowed just one

279
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 15: passing touchdown on the scramble drills this season. And look,

280
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 15: one of his more reliable targets is Travis Kelsey. But

281
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 15: it was Kelsey this week on his podcasts New Heights

282
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 15: that said, you know, most of the time, answers are

283
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 15: easy to come by. Right now they're not, and so

284
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 15: that's what's complicating things. He's not getting a lot of

285
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 15: his wide receivers. He's getting pressured, and you're catching the

286
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 15: Chargers right now that found ways to win in spite

287
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 15: of things.

288
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 16: Last week, Jane, the Chiefs are six and seven and

289
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 16: struggling because they had problems on the offensive line all

290
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 16: year from the left tackle Trey Smith in and out

291
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 16: of the lineup right tackle right now. The penalties, the

292
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 16: drops that we continue to show, and so really what

293
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 16: the compensation for that has been and is is the

294
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 16: deep shots. Is Mahomes getting out of the pocket Last

295
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 16: week at the start of the third quarter, they're losing

296
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 16: ten to nothing. He gets a big shot the Hollywood

297
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 16: Brown down the field thirty five yards. They scored their

298
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 16: only touchdown of the game. When they get their explosive plays,

299
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 16: they have a chance to win these games because they're

300
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 16: not good enough just to march ten or twelve or

301
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 16: fourteen plays the way they once did and just execute

302
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 16: without the penalties, without the miscues on the offensive line,

303
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 16: without the drops. And so I feel like they got

304
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 16: to hit those in this game, Jane, in order to

305
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 16: have a chance to win this game, Jane.

306
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 10: On the other side, the Chargers, they did win last week, certainly.

307
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 11: Not the cleanest effort. Justin Herbert was sacked seven times.

308
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 10: He's a big boy, but certainly, considering that he's also

309
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 10: playing around with a broken hand, I imagine there is

310
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 10: a great emphasis on keeping him more upright this week.

311
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 15: And this is the same guy that was stiff arming

312
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 15: defenders with that hand. Just seven days removed from putting

313
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 15: bolts and screws in there. Now, I think the one

314
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 15: thing that should give Chargers fans, I don't know how

315
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 15: you want to hedge this one. He said, they did

316
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 15: X rays on it, and things seemed to come out

317
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 15: quote clean for the most part. What's more concerning is

318
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 15: that he ended up being the team's leading rusher ten

319
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 15: carries for sixty six yards, largely because he was pressured

320
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 15: for nearly three quarters of the game. He acknowledged afterward

321
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 15: that he missed him throws some highs, some outside because

322
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 15: of that constant dress.

323
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 11: Now he faces a.

324
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 15: Chief pass rush that you know, Baldy, despite some big names,

325
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 15: they're middle to lower tier statistically the season. So I

326
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 15: think the key here for the Chargers is key him upright,

327
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 15: let him get in a rhythm, and let's see if

328
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 15: he can get through another game where he's just getting

329
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 15: some of that punishing pressure up front. I mean, I

330
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 15: think the key here is, you know we can both

331
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 15: sides are dealing with offensive line. Was you don't want

332
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 15: Herbert to get in a rhythm here because, as we said,

333
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 15: this defense really isn't helping out the Chiefs. As we

334
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 15: said in the past either, although I wouldn't put things

335
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 15: past ste Spagnol, especially at home.

336
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 16: Well, I thought like, even though the Charges won the

337
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 16: game the other night, I thought they got away from

338
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 16: a little bit of the things that Jim Harball has

339
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 16: always preached, like taking care of the football, which they

340
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 16: did largely.

341
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 17: But you know, I didn't see Matt Locke on the field.

342
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 16: I didn't see the big the big guys, Trevor Penny,

343
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 16: like dead thirty ones, and they were throwing the ball

344
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 16: on third and one, they had third and threes, and

345
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 16: they were throwing it deep down the field, and I

346
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 16: didn't really understand.

347
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 17: That's not who they are, especially if your quarterback.

348
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 16: Has got a bandage wrapped bolted hand together like he did,

349
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 16: and he was forced to scramble so many times for

350
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 16: you know, sixty yards first downs and whatnot. I just

351
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 16: think they need to get back to who they are,

352
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 16: which is really a ball control team and try to

353
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 16: win at the line of scrip. I know, the tackles

354
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 16: are out and you're down to Bobby Hart at right

355
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 16: tackle and all that kind of stuff, but really this

356
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 16: is who they want to be. I think they got

357
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 16: to get back to protecting him by running the ball better.

358
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 16: They got a Marrion back. He looked good when he

359
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 16: had a chance to carry the ball. Kamara of Videll

360
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 16: has been unbelievable. I think they got to get back

361
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 16: to that kind of ball control and maybe some play

362
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 16: action off it rather than just spread the defense out

363
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 16: and asked Herbert to go make perfect throws to Lad mcconki,

364
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 16: Trey Harris, Keenan Allen, pick a guy.

365
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 10: You know, when the schedule came out all the way

366
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 10: back in May, we knew this was going to be

367
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 10: a big game. We probably didn't realize it was going

368
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 10: to be a big game for this particular reason. Chief

369
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 10: season on the line. Jane Baldi, thank you very much.

370
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 11: And when we return on The.

371
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 10: Insiders, we're going to talk about another really big game

372
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 10: this weekend, Broncos versus Packers. I think if you love defense,

373
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 10: this is the one.

374
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: You want to pay attention to.

375
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 10: We'll talk about it next on The Insiders.

376
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Insiders.

377
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 8: That is Tampa Bay, the sight of tonight's showdown.

378
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: It's a showdown right Bucks Falcons where.

379
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 8: The Bucks absolutely gotta have it if they want to

380
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 8: get back on track. Our buddy Sarah Walsh live and

381
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 8: in person, getting ready to take in tonight's game, Inducer

382
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 8: reporting on it. First of all, Sarah, I just got

383
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 8: this in the mail from the Bucks. It is a

384
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 8: VHS of their Raise the Flag documentary. Look at I

385
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 8: haven't seen a VHS in forever.

386
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 9: Look how cool this is.

387
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 8: Anyway, I can't wait to explain to my kids exactly

388
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 8: what that is. Hi, Sarah, before you start watching today game,

389
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 8: let's talk a little bit. Let's talk about Mike Evans

390
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 8: making his return tonight.

391
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 3: What kind of bounce are the Bucks gonna get from

392
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 3: that one?

393
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: Look?

394
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 12: I don't know what's going to show up on the

395
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 12: stat sheet at the end of the night, but just

396
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 12: having him out on the field clearly has a massive

397
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 12: impact because he's somebody that has to be accounted for

398
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 12: at all times.

399
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 13: He changes a defensive game plan clearly.

400
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 9: I spoke with.

401
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,239
Speaker 12: Chris Godwin this week and something unusual has happened to him.

402
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 13: For the first time in his nine year career.

403
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 12: We've gotten to week fifteen and he has not been

404
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 12: on the field for a single game with Evans, and

405
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 12: that is because Godwin himself has been coming back from injury.

406
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 12: He told me that he had moments this year where

407
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 12: he wondered if he was going to play with Evans

408
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 12: this year. Once Evans went out on October twentieth, he

409
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 12: said it felt strange, but he's incredibly grateful that those

410
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 12: two will be reunited tonight.

411
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 13: This Buck offense really needs to get going.

412
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 12: This team has dropped four of its last five, but

413
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 12: you're putting Evans on the field with Godwin. Jalen McMillan

414
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 12: also expected to come back and play for the first

415
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 12: time this year. There is no receiving duo in the

416
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 12: league playing right now that has more combined receiving yards

417
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 12: than Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, and for the first

418
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 12: time this season Ian they will be reunited here.

419
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 8: That's wild that they have. I mean, I guess I

420
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 8: sort of knew that, but I hadn't really thought about that.

421
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 8: They have not played together all year. Should be a

422
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 8: big one tonight for the Bucks. For the receiving core

423
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 8: from the other side, they got Kirk Cousins, not the

424
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 8: Falcons starter obviously that would be Michael Pennick juniors out

425
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 8: for the season where they torn acl but someone who

426
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 8: has played very well against the Bucks in the past.

427
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 8: What are we expecting from this Falcons offense.

428
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 12: Well, Baker Mayfield says, they very much understand that this

429
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 12: is a Falcons team that would do love nothing more

430
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 12: than to just screw up the postseason plans for the Buccaneers,

431
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 12: and Rahee Morris is all but confirmed that. He said,

432
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 12: our job now is to play spoiler. You mentioned Michael

433
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 12: Pennocks junior not playing. These two teams met in Week one.

434
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 12: The Bucks escaped with the win there in Atlanta was

435
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 12: twenty three to twenty, but that was Pennick's playing and

436
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 12: now Kirk Cousins takes over. But Kirk Cousins has been

437
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 12: a tremendous problem for the Buccaneers. Last year, the Falcons

438
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 12: swept the Bucks and it's because Cousins put up monster numbers.

439
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 12: He set a franchise record with five hundred and nine

440
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 12: passing yards in that game. In two games he had

441
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 12: almost eight hundred yards. He said, you have to remind

442
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 12: yourself that you can do things like that. Right However,

443
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 12: he will be without Drake London tonight. Some good news

444
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 12: for the Buccaneers. They were without Tristan Wurfs.

445
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 13: A week ago. We were talking about the guys that

446
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 13: they are going to have back.

447
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 12: They are going to have Werfs back, but they did

448
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 12: lose another lineman in Ben Bredeson last week. So not

449
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 12: only is Cousins problematic, but this Falcons defense could cause

450
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 12: some issues because they like to get after the quarterbacks.

451
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 12: They rank third in the league forty three sacks and

452
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 12: this is a bucks O line and I know that

453
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 12: this happens a lot throughout the league. But they have

454
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 12: been revamped again and again this year, and they are

455
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 12: going to do it once again.

456
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 13: This evening Ian.

457
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: Falcons pass rush pretty nasty.

458
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 8: They fixed that thing in one year and it has

459
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 8: been They have done a very very nice job there

460
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 8: from the Edges. Fun matchup tonight, Sarah, Thank you very much,

461
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 8: as always, enjoy the game. I'll send you a VHS

462
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 8: maybe if I have a spare one you can figure

463
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 8: out how to play anyway. Good stuff as always, Garreth,

464
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 8: follow and take away all right.

465
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: The Packers wearing their winter warning uniforms this Sunday, a

466
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: little late.

467
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: Winter's already here.

468
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: It's cold everywhere, especially in Green Bay, but that's what

469
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: they will be wearing. All whites against the Denver Broncos

470
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: this coming Sunday. The Broncos have a bunch of clinching scenarios.

471
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: I am going to ignore the last four because we

472
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: don't expect ties, and when they happen, it Jess screws

473
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: everything off. Kyle Brant, Good Morning Football, loves ties, loves

474
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: the chaos.

475
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: I hate him.

476
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: What I do love is having people on the program

477
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: that know football. So let's bring in a couple of

478
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: Mark Ross and Brian Baldinger joining us here, and we

479
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: are going to break down this Broncos Packers game. I'm

480
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: going to start with you, Mark. I mean, we like

481
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: to say this throughout the season, and maybe people don't

482
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: believe it, but it's like this could be a Super

483
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: Bowl preview right here between the Packers and the Broncos

484
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: without a doubt.

485
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 6: I mean, these two teams at the Broncos number one,

486
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 6: and they're legit and because.

487
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 9: Of their defense, and that's no secret to anybody.

488
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 6: Fourth in the league and points per game and number

489
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 6: one in sacks, and they come in waves and come

490
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 6: and droves with those sacks or Benito just says, hey,

491
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 6: let me just run by tackles.

492
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 9: And go destroy games.

493
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 6: But of course a big question mark is the offense

494
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 6: and the defense is so dominant that the offense can

495
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 6: afford to be inconsistent, and both Knicks can afford to

496
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 6: be inconsistent. Fourteenth in the league and points per game,

497
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 6: and he's kind of averaging all his stats. The run

498
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 6: game is average in what they do except when they

499
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 6: need to make plays and go win games. That is

500
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 6: an offensive skill that they have absolutely mastered and demonstrated,

501
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 6: particularly in their ten straight wins and getting that number

502
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 6: one seed. So when you do have that offense of

503
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 6: the defense playing like they are doing, the.

504
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 9: Offense can be up and down until you need to.

505
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 6: And Mike, it almost reminds me talking about Super Bowls

506
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 6: of the formula we had with the Giants where we

507
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 6: had pass rushers and the defensive dominate it in the

508
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 6: playoff runs and the Super Bowl.

509
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 9: And then Eli and the offense are up here, up

510
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 9: and down.

511
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 6: Okay, now when it's winning time in the playoffs, they

512
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 6: made the plays to go win the playoff games and

513
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. So there is a path for the

514
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 6: Broncos to play like this and still win it all.

515
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of pass rushers, a guy you know well, Brian

516
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: Baldinger Micah Parsons was brought to Green Bay to affect

517
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in big games such is this one coming up.

518
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: So let's get the baldy breakdown of what Mike is

519
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: doing to harass opposing offenses.

520
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 16: Be happened to you, Mike, You know, you got to

521
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 16: think that Micah was traded on August twenty eighth, just

522
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 16: a week before the start of the season. So I

523
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 16: think Jeff Hefley, the defensive coordinator, should be applauded and

524
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 16: how they're using Micah and the different ways that they're

525
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 16: now figured out, because there's the traditional ways that Mikey

526
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 16: can just line up like he can, like right here

527
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 16: against Detroit no help.

528
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 17: That's tough for any tackle in this league.

529
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 16: I mean, Taylor Decker is a quality tackle, but he

530
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 16: gets smoked right there and down goes to quarterback. You

531
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 16: watch him against Chicago right here, and he's got basically

532
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 16: a contained rush on the outside right now, and Caleb

533
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 16: has been noted to get outside the pocket, and there's

534
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 16: not many guys that he can run away from or

535
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 16: turn the corner on until he met Michael Parsons two

536
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 16: weeks ago, and when he did, he thought twice about

537
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 16: trying to turn that corner, pulled up and decided maybe

538
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 16: it's just better to throw it away. Mike has that

539
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 16: effect on quarterbacks, right, and so then you go, okay,

540
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 16: well what can we do here to kind of protect

541
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 16: our quarterback. So here's you know, Cole Comet right here,

542
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 16: he's going to chip them. Here's DeAndre Swift. He's going

543
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 16: to stay in there and he's going to try to

544
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 16: help out. But Mike is like squeezing jello. He's going

545
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 16: to find the opening someplace that he does. But this

546
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 16: is what Jeff Hafley has done. Now he's now got

547
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 16: structure as defense, where Mike has got freedom to go.

548
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 16: Now here's David Montgomery. He's going to try to chip them,

549
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 16: but he's used to seeing the chip and he still

550
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 16: gets to the quarterback. And then a few weeks ago

551
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 16: against Minnesota, here he is just on a freelance and

552
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 16: you know when he comes with his power, he can

553
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 16: just do these kind of things. Just run the center over,

554
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 16: claps the pocket and force JJ McCarthy into a sack.

555
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 16: And then once you start loading up for that, you

556
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 16: start using Micah as a decoy. Here the Bears, they

557
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 16: see him over here over the right tackle Darnell right,

558
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 16: they're gonna slide to them, all right, so they have

559
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 16: a full line slide to mike Ha to be able

560
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 16: to handle his pass rush powers, and then they overload

561
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 16: the other side, drop Mikeh as a decoy in the coverage,

562
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 16: overload the other side and get the same effect of

563
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 16: forcing the quarterback out of the pocket and throwing it away,

564
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 16: and so you can gain plan. Sean Payton has been

565
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 16: burning the midnight oil trying to gain plan to stop

566
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 16: Michah Parsons. But the way that they're using him right

567
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 16: now is becoming more increasingly difficult to stop him. And

568
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 16: he's not the only guy, you know, Rashan Gary. They've

569
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 16: got other pass rushers, but he's the focal point of

570
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 16: him getting after the quarterback. And Bo Nix, who has

571
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 16: been as athletic and gotten away from as many pass

572
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 16: rushers as anyone in this litigue, might be a little

573
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 16: bit different if Michael Parsons is chasing you.

574
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 10: Welcome back to the Insiders. Here's our five Big Games

575
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 10: poster for this week. I feel like I'm getting better

576
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 10: at reading this graphic. They've got the Lions rams as

577
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 10: the headliner, but just down there you also see Bill's Patriots,

578
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 10: that is with the AFC East on the line the

579
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 10: Patriots that can clinch the division with a victory over

580
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 10: the Bills, really early clinching scenario.

581
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 11: It's time for Mark Key matchups. And there's Mark Ross

582
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 11: and there's Brian Baldinger.

583
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 10: All right, Mark Ross, let's start with you, and let's

584
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 10: start with Bills versus Patriots AFC East on the line.

585
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, amazing match up. There to be the man, you

586
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 9: got to beat the man. The Bills have been the man.

587
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 6: The patriot have already beat them one time this year,

588
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 6: and let's see if they can do it again and say, yes,

589
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 6: we're the new kings of the AFC East.

590
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 9: And in that first game, you know, Drake may On

591
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 9: an mvp' teir.

592
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 6: Now, but he was twenty two of thirty two hundred

593
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 6: and seventy three yards, zero touchdowns, zero in a So

594
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 6: they won that game without him being spectacular. And for

595
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 6: the Bills, you know, despite the Josh Allen heroes, it

596
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 6: seems like still Baldy, their games are coming out of him.

597
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 9: Let's go, Josh, go win the game. That defense give

598
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 9: it up tons of yards. Still twenty eighth in the

599
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 9: league in rush dye, so that'll be something to watch. Then.

600
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 6: Also when Josh Allen has to play hero ball in

601
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 6: four of their losses. He's had two turnovers into these games,

602
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 6: so it'll be important for them to protect the football.

603
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 6: But this looks like another possibility for the Patriots, and

604
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 6: Drake made to say, we're the new Kings there, Baldy.

605
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 16: You know, Mark, it's the Patriots signature win this year,

606
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 16: Week five, that's the biggest win. The schedule has been

607
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 16: a little soft, but they do have a formula. They

608
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 16: don't turn the ball over, they find ways to get

609
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 16: explosive plays, and they're just very sound defensively. They got

610
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 16: a guy in Christian Zalvez that can shut your guy down.

611
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 16: Marcus Jones has been a stud in the slot. You know,

612
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 16: they've got a formula. I'm interested to see, after one

613
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 16: watching Josh and studying him, how they design a defense

614
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 16: this week to control them, because Cincinnati didn't do it

615
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 16: last week, like he ran right through them forty yard

616
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 16: touchdown in the snow.

617
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: Like.

618
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 16: I don't think the Patriots are going to allow that

619
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 16: to happen. So I think that's the game within the

620
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 16: game is how do you either spy or control Josh

621
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 16: Allen and limit his either runs or the playsoff script

622
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 16: and I think that's going to be the key to

623
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 16: this game on Sunday.

624
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 10: All right, Next up, guys is Lions Rams, a game

625
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 10: with big playoff implications for both teams mark.

626
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 6: Big implications, but in two different ways, Judy, and for

627
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 6: the Lions this is almost a win and get in

628
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 6: type of game.

629
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 9: Their playoffs are right now this weekend.

630
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 6: And for the Rams it's, well, we're just trying to

631
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 6: show we're the best team, the most complete team in football.

632
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 9: And for the Lions, despite all the back.

633
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 6: And forth and the changing four Nators Dan Campbell taking over,

634
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 6: they're still number one in the league at points per

635
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 6: game on offense, so they can still score and get

636
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 6: the ball in there.

637
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 9: And then on the defensive side, they're top five in sight.

638
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 6: So I know there's been a lot of questions about

639
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 6: the Lions team throughout this year, but they can score

640
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 6: and they can get sacks.

641
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 9: But for the Rams and Baldy I'm looking at it.

642
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 6: I mean, they're amazing on offense and defense, top five

643
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 6: on both.

644
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 9: Matt Stafford playing like an MVP.

645
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 6: They can run the ball, two wide receivers who could

646
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 6: just absolutely take over a game and dominate. So I'm

647
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 6: looking at this as another statement win for the Rams

648
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 6: to saying yep, we're the one seed and the best

649
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 6: team in football.

650
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 16: Mark the Lions have a bad pattern working against him

651
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 16: right now. They have one to one, lost one, one

652
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 16: to one lost one for the last two months, for

653
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 16: the last nine weeks, and so they win last week,

654
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 16: So they haven't stacked two wins in a row since

655
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 16: October fifth. That's a long drought to bring back to

656
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 16: back games. And now you're going against the team that

657
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 16: you just said like they're very, very complete. I feel

658
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 16: like if the Lions are going to win this game,

659
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 16: they've got to find a way to win in the trenches.

660
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 16: That means Jamiir Gibbs has got to have a big

661
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 16: day running the ball because when they explode and they

662
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 16: score the points, he's the the go to guy in

663
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 16: the running game, end of the pass game, and then

664
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 16: Jamis Williams has to get over the top.

665
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 17: You know.

666
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 16: They got to find their big plays and typically when

667
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 16: they explode, that's how they do it. But the Rams

668
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 16: have been very, very good on both sides of the ball.

669
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 16: That defensive line that they've built over the last three

670
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 16: years is as talented as any in the league right now,

671
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 16: and so they just destroyed Arizona last week. I'm sure

672
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 16: they're looking to maybe clinch the number one spot. Matt Stafford,

673
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 16: if you protect him, he's going to find a way

674
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 16: to complete a lot of passes. This is on the

675
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 16: Detroit's trench warfare to win this game, to help them

676
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 16: win this game and maybe stack their second win.

677
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: In a row.

678
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 10: All right, our final game is one did not even

679
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 10: make the poster.

680
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 11: Kind of a late ad here. We all know why

681
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 11: we're all going to be watching Colts Seahawks.

682
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 9: Mark Well, Judy. It didn't make a poster because someone.

683
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 6: Wrote this script like for a movie and it got

684
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 6: rejected by every single movie studio. Of the forty four

685
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 6: year old quarterback who hasn't played in five years coming

686
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 6: back to say a season for an NFL team, I

687
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 6: get that out of here.

688
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 9: But that's what we're going to see and not just

689
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 9: come back.

690
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 6: And play any game they're playing, maybe popping out great

691
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 6: defenses earlier, the nastiest defense in the league with the

692
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 6: Seahawks with number two in points per game, number three

693
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 6: in sacks. Oh but also our offense is number two

694
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 6: in scoring, so this could get ugly quick Baldy there

695
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 6: and it's in Seattle as well, one of the toughest

696
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,239
Speaker 6: places to play. But this is must see TV just

697
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 6: to see if the story about ending turns out to

698
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 6: be anything or it is just a.

699
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 17: Nightmare, right you know. Mark.

700
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 16: Yesterday in the press conference, Philip Rivers said, I'm not

701
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 16: here to be the savior, but if he plays on Sunday,

702
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 16: he's there to be the savior.

703
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 17: That's what he has to be.

704
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 16: They've lost three in a row and they're playing themselves

705
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 16: right out of playoff contention. So if he gets on

706
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 16: the field, and I think he's gonna get on the field,

707
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 16: they're gonna go ask him to be the savior.

708
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 17: And that's almost impossible.

709
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 16: Like I'm you know, the reflexes and the reactions that

710
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 16: every quarterback re lives on. There's no way they can

711
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 16: be sharp, just no way. And that's not the way

712
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 16: this league works. And so and against the defense that

713
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 16: you're speaking of, with the atmosphere that will be there

714
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 16: in Seattle, which is always there, that's almost it is

715
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 16: a movie script. That is disbelievable for this to actually happen,

716
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 16: for film to have success, I don't see it against

717
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 16: this defense. Watching Devin Witherspoon play last week, I mean

718
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 16: I want to give him the defensive Player of the

719
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 16: Year just on that game alone. The way that he

720
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 16: comes like that is a relentless team. You feel these

721
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 16: shots at every position, the way they hit on that defense.

722
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 17: Right now, time to go.

723
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: Inside with Fantasy Live. NFL Fantasy Live with our guy

724
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: Michael Florio. It is fantasy playoff time. He's got a

725
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: big playoff matchup with Marcus Grant. So we've got some

726
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: of our guys up against each other. How many playoff

727
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: games do you have in total? I've made it in

728
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: eight of my eleven leagues.

729
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: Eight of eleven. See, that's why you get this guy

730
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: in here.

731
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: If he said he made it in three of eleven,

732
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: you'd be like, no, this is not my fantasy.

733
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: He's got a tough fantasy expert every single year.

734
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 1: So in this time for starts and sits, and as always,

735
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: we start with these starts on Thursday night Football Bucks Falcons.

736
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think Baker Mayfield is in play this week.

737
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 18: I don't think he's like a must start, set it

738
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 18: and forget it tight, but it is a bad week

739
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 18: at quarterback. A lot of names that you could usually

740
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 18: start have really tough matchups or something like that.

741
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: I know Baker has been struggling.

742
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 18: Few were the two inns of yards and one touchdown

743
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 18: in each of his last four games. He hasn't scored

744
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 18: fifteen fantasy points in his last three, but he does.

745
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: Have a history of success in this matchup.

746
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 18: In fact, Baker has thrown three touchdown passes every game

747
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 18: against the Raheem Morris Falcons defense. And he's getting his

748
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 18: full allotment of receivers back this week, so just more

749
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 18: options for him to throw the ball to he has

750
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 18: success in this matchup. I think that has him as

751
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 18: a borderline QB one play and then I think this is.

752
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: A get right game for a Mecca Abuca.

753
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 18: Since Week six, when his struggles started happening, he is

754
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 18: the lowest catchable target rate in the NFL.

755
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, Baker.

756
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 18: Even last week he overthrew him a what should have

757
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 18: been a touchdown pass.

758
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 2: Abuka is not without sinning that stretch.

759
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 18: He does have the second highest drop rate, but the

760
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 18: Falcons are the top three and yards, touchdowns and fantasy

761
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 18: points per game. Two wide receivers in the last month

762
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 18: and with Evans back and McMillan back and god when

763
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 18: playing better.

764
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 2: I think some defensive attention comes off of a mecca

765
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 2: at BUKA. And speaking of Mike Evans.

766
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 18: I think he's in playing tonight, but he's not a

767
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 18: must start right like I would play him over your

768
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 18: Colts wide receivers or Troy Franklin, Dj Moore, but like

769
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 18: Jacoby Meyers, Juwan Jennings, Zay Flowers, those are some names

770
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 18: I would play over Mike Evans.

771
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: Sounds like pitch count for Mike Evans tonight.

772
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 8: So if you just catch lighting in the bottle, get

773
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 8: a touchdown or something, then it's worth it. If you don't,

774
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,479
Speaker 8: probably not look at me dispensing fantasy advice. My team

775
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 8: is as always terrible. Who are we sitting tonight? Florio

776
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 8: for these T andF matchup.

777
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 18: Not the biggest sits, but again with it not being

778
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 18: the best week at quarterback, you might be seeing Kirk

779
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 18: Cousins and being like, oh, well the Bucks their top

780
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 18: five and fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.

781
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not doing it.

782
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 18: Look, Cousins has yet to reach fifteen fantasy points in

783
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 18: a game this season, so despite the matchup, if you

784
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 18: start him and he gets you like thirteen points, You're

785
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 18: gonna hate looking at that number all the way till Sunday,

786
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 18: and it might get you eliminated from the playoffs. Some

787
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 18: streaming options I would use over him Marcus Mariota, JJ McCarthy,

788
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 18: Tyler Schuck.

789
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 2: I like shador.

790
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 18: I just don't like the weather there, So that's one

791
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 18: to keep an eye on. And then look, even without

792
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 18: Drake London, you're sitting Darnell Mooney. You just simply cannot

793
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 18: trust him in the fantasy playoffs. He has topped fifteen

794
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 18: fantasy points once all season long. In his last two

795
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 18: games without Drake London to get five fantasy points.

796
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 2: The only Falcons I would.

797
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 18: Play tonight is b John Robinson obviously, and Kyle Pitts,

798
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 18: who's been the top target for Kirk Cousins in all

799
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 18: three of his last starts all right to the rest

800
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 18: of the weekend.

801
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: In the NFL we.

802
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: Go, Michael Wilson, Cardinals wide receiver has been really hot

803
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: of late.

804
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 2: We're starting him. I have him as they sit this week. Now.

805
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 2: I'm not telling you to sit him for just anyone.

806
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 18: You have to have another, but like in a league,

807
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 18: I'm sitting him for Juwan Jennings for example, because I

808
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 18: get it, he's averaged thirty one fantasy points per game

809
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 18: with no Marvin Harrison Junior.

810
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: But look who's he's playing this week.

811
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 18: The Texans have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game

812
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 18: to wide receivers.

813
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: They just shut down Rashi Rice.

814
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 18: In fact, it's just about half of the passes that

815
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 18: go to wide receivers that get completed against this defense.

816
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 18: And look, I've played fantasy for a while. We've seen

817
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 18: a lot of really fun stories come crashing down when

818
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 18: they get a matchup like this.

819
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 2: I like Michael Wilson.

820
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 18: I believe in his talent, but I fear the Texans

821
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 18: defense even more.

822
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not sure i'd start anybody against the Tech

823
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 8: and Texans defense. They are nasty, all right? What about

824
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 8: this wide receiver? Start or sit Justin Jefferson.

825
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 18: We have been feuding on the NFL Fantasy Football Show

826
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 18: this week. I am team Justin Jefferson. Lawan Jones is

827
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 18: not team Justin Jefferson. But if you survived last week,

828
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 18: I will.

829
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: Admit I was wrong to saying to start him.

830
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 18: Then I don't expect the Vikings to go up thirty

831
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 18: one nothing again this week. In fact, I expect them

832
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 18: to be trailing and having to throw a whole bunch.

833
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 18: And the Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points per game,

834
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 18: yards and touchdowns to wide receivers, the most of all

835
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 18: to out wide wide receivers, the most of all on

836
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 18: deep passes. So yeah, it is a fantastic matchup. We

837
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 18: have seen wide receivers eat weekly against this Cowboys defense,

838
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 18: even in the last month their top five, so they

839
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 18: got better against the run, not the pass. I think

840
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 18: justin Jefferson, you trust his talent in this fantastic It's

841
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 18: literally the best matchup he could have, So I'm gonna

842
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 18: trust him in that.

843
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: I have long since stopped trying to guess what Sean

844
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: Payton is going to do with his backfield on a

845
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: week to week basis, But it says right here that

846
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: you are going to.

847
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 2: Start or sit RJ. Harvey.

848
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 18: I'm starting RJ Harvey because yet, look, Sean Payton is

849
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 18: a headache for fantasy running backs until he lost JK.

850
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 2: Dobbins. Since then, RJ.

851
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 18: Harvey has played sixty percent of the snaps, He's handled

852
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 18: two thirds of the Broncos running back carries, and he's

853
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 18: seeing the bulk.

854
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 2: Of targets there too.

855
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 18: It is why since thereby that post bump buy he

856
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 18: has gotten twenty one or more Fantasy points in both

857
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 18: of those games. Dobbins was only getting carries here in

858
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 18: this backfield. We haven't seen Sean Payton turn over the

859
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 18: entire backfield. He touches the carries, the targets, and the

860
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 18: goal line work to one running back since prime Alvin Kamara.

861
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying RJ. Harvey is that, but he could

862
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: be like seventy five percent of it.

863
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 18: He's a really explosive runner, so I think he still

864
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 18: has league winning upside despite the Bronco tough schedule to

865
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 18: finish out the season.

866
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 8: All right, so what about another running back? What about

867
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 8: David Montgomery for the Detroit Lions.

868
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 18: What do you think Fantasy playoff time, you have to

869
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 18: cover up names and look at opportunities and matchups, right,

870
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 18: And David Montgomery, despite being a big name, he's averaging

871
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 18: eight opportunities per game in the last month. He's averaging

872
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 18: less than ten Fantasy points per.

873
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: Game in that span.

874
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 18: In fact, the floor has become single digits for Monti

875
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 18: and he needs a touchdown to reach double digits at

876
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 18: least that's what we've seen since Dan Campbell has taken

877
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 18: over and really given this backfield to Jamior Gibbs.

878
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: The issue with.

879
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 18: Being touchdown reliant playing the Rams, they've allowed four total

880
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 18: touchdowns two running backs all year. In the fourth view

881
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 18: is fantasy points per game. So I look, I believe

882
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 18: where I can't get away, but if you can, I

883
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 18: think you do.

884
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: With David Montgomery to the selfish portion of the program,

885
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: we go where we get to ask you a question

886
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: about our own team, and listen, you and I have

887
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: been talking about this for a couple of days. We

888
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: still don't have an so that would be a good

889
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: time to provide one in my first postseason game here.

890
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett, that's not an option. We got rid of

891
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: that one. So we're talking about bo Nicks versus the field.

892
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: Who's the field? The entire waiver wire, Aaron Rodgers, JJ McCarthy,

893
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, Tyler Shuck, Shadora Sanders, tempting after last week,

894
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: Tua Kirk Cousins.

895
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: Mariota, I think we're done here. Two names stood out

896
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: to me there.

897
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 18: One is JJ McCarthy, who I think has upside in

898
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 18: this matchup, but the.

899
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: Floor is extremely low.

900
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 18: I think Marcus Mariota is your sweet spot because his

901
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 18: floor that we've seen with him as the starter has

902
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 18: been pretty safe.

903
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 2: But there's upside here.

904
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 18: The Giants top three and fantasy points and passing yards

905
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 18: to quarterbacks. They're also in the top five in rushing

906
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 18: yards and rushing touchdowns allowed to quarterbacks. I like Mariota,

907
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 18: but look, if you don't want to go that route

908
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 18: and you just want to stick with Bo.

909
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 3: I'm not going to knock you on that either. I like,

910
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what I'm rooting for, and help.

911
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Ian can help me on this one, because I'd

912
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: much rather spend the entire in the next couple of

913
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: weeks and the entire offseason stewing over a guy that

914
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: helped get me here Bo Nicks versus I start JJ

915
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: McCarthy and he gets me like four points, and I like,

916
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm just I can't live with myself if that happened.

917
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:20,959
Speaker 3: I mean, I did it last week.

918
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 8: I had Jaden Daniels was on the bench for a while,

919
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 8: back in the lineup, back in my starting lineup, got

920
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 8: me like three points, and I'm like, hey.

921
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: Got hurt?

922
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 8: Did I not just stick with the guys who got

923
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 8: me there. I know is believer.

924
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 3: That's why we're bad.

925
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: All right?

926
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 8: Anyway, yes, my question, all right, here's my selfish question.

927
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 8: I got a flex spot. I got Michael Wilson, I

928
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 8: know you waiting early in the show, or got Tyrone Tracy?

929
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 3: What's say you for it?

930
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 2: I think I think you roll the dice on Tyrone Tracy.

931
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 18: The Commanders have really struggled against the run pass catching

932
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 18: running backs. But just like with Mike, if you'd rather

Speaker 11: Awful, Judy, I covered a game in Foxboro.

961
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 10: This was ages ago that they were calling dangerously cold,

962
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 10: and I remember calling the league office and saying like,

963
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 10: are you really going to play the game in this

964
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 10: colt And they were like, yeah, We're going to let

965
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 10: the fans bring sleeping bags. So that's what they did.

966
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 10: The fans brought sleeping bags. To try to say it

967
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 10: was ridiculous. It was like, I mean everything was iced over.

968
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 11: Terrible.

969
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 8: like get to the top of the mountain.

972

Speaker 3: You're freezing.

973
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 8: You put the glasses and the thing over your mouth.

974
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 8: You just can't see any skin. That would be my move.

975
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 8: Don't be one of those linemen, Mike, who doesn't wear sleeves.

976
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 8: You want to show a tough fear. That's how you

977
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,279
