Ravens get to six and three 47 00:02:33,428 --> 00:02:36,068 Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson all the way down there in Louisiana. 48 00:02:36,108 --> 00:02:38,028 Speaker 1: We're gonna play this clip from me to Germany. Asked 49 00:02:38,028 --> 00:02:41,628 Speaker 1: how the team is feeling, Lamar headed into a well 50 00:02:41,668 --> 00:02:45,468 Speaker 1: deserved by week. We feel pretty good, you know, but 51 00:02:45,708 --> 00:02:48,508 Speaker 1: season not over, you know, just one week off, that's all, 52 00:02:48,628 --> 00:02:50,748 Speaker 1: you know, just a break from work. Still gotta stay 53 00:02:50,748 --> 00:02:52,548 Speaker 1: locked in because the most season ahead of us. It 54 00:02:52,628 --> 00:02:54,988 Speaker 1: put us in a very good comfortable position right now. 55 00:02:55,148 --> 00:02:56,588 Speaker 1: You know. We just gotta keep doing what we're doing, 56 00:02:56,668 --> 00:02:59,348 Speaker 1: stay locked in, keep cleaning up the little details here 57 00:02:59,348 --> 00:03:01,148 Speaker 1: and there, and like the sky's a limit for us. 58 00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:04,908 Speaker 1: The same thing I've been focusing on everything. No sleep 59 00:03:04,908 --> 00:03:06,468 Speaker 1: on our opponents. You know, we can't win the Super 60 00:03:06,508 --> 00:03:09,108 Speaker 1: Bowl yet, you know, we gotta keep taking a game 61 00:03:09,148 --> 00:03:12,588 Speaker 1: at a time, play at a time. Look at what 62 00:03:12,628 --> 00:03:14,988 Speaker 1: the Ravens are piecing together. It was a convincing night 63 00:03:15,108 --> 00:03:18,708 Speaker 1: for the offense. Defense. Looks really good things that pop out, 64 00:03:18,708 --> 00:03:20,948 Speaker 1: though specifically from that Ravens win over the scenes on 65 00:03:21,028 --> 00:03:22,828 Speaker 1: Monday Night football. Is they headed to the bye week, 66 00:03:22,828 --> 00:03:25,828 Speaker 1: would you like, oh, I mean, obviously offense, Lamar Jackson, 67 00:03:25,908 --> 00:03:28,068 Speaker 1: the run game, getting it done. But you guys know, like, 68 00:03:28,148 --> 00:03:30,548 Speaker 1: I'm a defense guy, I love it. It's just you 69 00:03:30,668 --> 00:03:33,548 Speaker 1: talked about him all rold Justin Houston two and a 70 00:03:33,548 --> 00:03:36,228 Speaker 1: half sacks and interception. This guy has eight and a 71 00:03:36,268 --> 00:03:38,908 Speaker 1: half sacks, He missed three games this year, and he's 72 00:03:38,948 --> 00:03:40,948 Speaker 1: out there, he's ball and he's getting it done, and 73 00:03:41,028 --> 00:03:43,828 Speaker 1: he's leading this defense. And when you can get after 74 00:03:43,868 --> 00:03:46,868 Speaker 1: the pastor that way, Justin hughs is an underrated guy. 75 00:03:46,908 --> 00:03:49,468 Speaker 1: We don't talk about him enough. The same draft class 76 00:03:49,588 --> 00:03:53,028 Speaker 1: is von Miller, same drive class is JJ Watt, Cam Jordan, 77 00:03:53,268 --> 00:03:55,468 Speaker 1: And you look at he's one hundred and ten and 78 00:03:55,508 --> 00:03:58,348 Speaker 1: a half sacks on his career and he's in front 79 00:03:58,348 --> 00:04:00,508 Speaker 1: of JJ Watt and I don't think we talk about 80 00:04:00,548 --> 00:04:03,108 Speaker 1: it enough. Nobody says that. And this guy was out 81 00:04:03,148 --> 00:04:06,548 Speaker 1: there thirty three years old, debated retiring this off season, 82 00:04:06,748 --> 00:04:08,948 Speaker 1: said he wanted to put it all in and come back, 83 00:04:09,108 --> 00:04:11,268 Speaker 1: and he's sure has come back and he is balling 84 00:04:11,348 --> 00:04:13,788 Speaker 1: right now and that defense is shutting him down. You 85 00:04:13,828 --> 00:04:17,028 Speaker 1: mentioned Rokuans added there he even talked about this guy. 86 00:04:17,068 --> 00:04:19,828 Speaker 1: He watched him at Georgia both Bulldogs. Is fun to 87 00:04:19,868 --> 00:04:22,588 Speaker 1: watch the thirty three. Yeah, they're seeing Brady runet for everybody, 88 00:04:22,628 --> 00:04:24,708 Speaker 1: because thirty three sounds like you're in your infancy compared 89 00:04:24,748 --> 00:04:27,028 Speaker 1: to forty five. Thirty three old. Yeah, he's great. You're 90 00:04:27,028 --> 00:04:28,988 Speaker 1: on What do you think of I remember that watching 91 00:04:29,028 --> 00:04:33,188 Speaker 1: justin Houston at the Chiefs. Yeah, because he wasn't productive anymore. 92 00:04:33,268 --> 00:04:34,868 Speaker 1: I was a pass rusher and I always looked at him. 93 00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:36,748 Speaker 1: He was great in his prime. He's still in his 94 00:04:36,788 --> 00:04:39,668 Speaker 1: problem like this isn't productive, Like this is he still 95 00:04:39,748 --> 00:04:41,748 Speaker 1: his prime? But what he did yesterday, so it's amazing 96 00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:44,788 Speaker 1: to watch that man. You know, you feel like the 97 00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:47,748 Speaker 1: Ravens gotta vibe this year, like, oh yeah they can 98 00:04:47,828 --> 00:04:50,788 Speaker 1: make go to the title game. Is doing a thing. 99 00:04:50,828 --> 00:04:52,908 Speaker 1: You know, even though his his stats don't pop up. 100 00:04:52,948 --> 00:04:55,948 Speaker 1: But then defense, that team chemistry right now is on 101 00:04:55,988 --> 00:04:58,748 Speaker 1: another level. I think that very little key the most 102 00:04:58,828 --> 00:05:02,068 Speaker 1: dangerous AC team right now and getting hot right now. 103 00:05:02,068 --> 00:05:05,148 Speaker 1: I think that Roquan Smith is a huge step in 104 00:05:05,228 --> 00:05:08,708 Speaker 1: their defense too. On the fiftieth rushing you know, only allowed. 105 00:05:09,508 --> 00:05:12,788 Speaker 1: It's true, and they're they're like they're sneaky dominant and 106 00:05:12,788 --> 00:05:14,348 Speaker 1: that that's a strange phrase. Let me tell you why 107 00:05:14,588 --> 00:05:16,268 Speaker 1: they have had a double digit lead in the first 108 00:05:16,348 --> 00:05:18,468 Speaker 1: nine games of the season. I saw the NFL research note, 109 00:05:18,508 --> 00:05:20,188 Speaker 1: that's the first team to do that in over a decade. 110 00:05:20,228 --> 00:05:23,308 Speaker 1: So like they're always dominating. Sometimes they've blown it, but 111 00:05:23,428 --> 00:05:25,388 Speaker 1: now they're not blown it anymore. And I just look 112 00:05:25,428 --> 00:05:28,028 Speaker 1: at Lamar like his best receivers out, his best running backside, 113 00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:30,228 Speaker 1: his best tight endside. It's like it doesn't matter. It's 114 00:05:30,268 --> 00:05:31,788 Speaker 1: my favorite time of year in the season. I'll tell 115 00:05:31,788 --> 00:05:33,628 Speaker 1: you why the playoff stretch is exciting and the beginning 116 00:05:33,628 --> 00:05:35,988 Speaker 1: of this season exciting. This is when teams decide to 117 00:05:35,988 --> 00:05:37,868 Speaker 1: put their hand up and say I matter or like 118 00:05:37,948 --> 00:05:40,468 Speaker 1: kind of I'm out, Like we it's not that first month, 119 00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:42,788 Speaker 1: it's not the last month. It's just we're gonna separate 120 00:05:42,828 --> 00:05:44,828 Speaker 1: the herd here a little bit. And I feel like 121 00:05:44,948 --> 00:05:46,988 Speaker 1: Lamar's I don't care give you whoever I want. I'll 122 00:05:46,988 --> 00:05:49,508 Speaker 1: make this work. Where the Ravens. I'm John Harbaugh. I 123 00:05:49,508 --> 00:05:51,028 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I was reminded this morning. Have you 124 00:05:51,068 --> 00:05:53,868 Speaker 1: guys been to the buffet, the breakfast buffet at the 125 00:05:53,868 --> 00:05:57,268 Speaker 1: hotel year Yeah, I think there's seventeen different types of sausage. 126 00:05:57,308 --> 00:05:59,668 Speaker 1: I was told you were there in crazy. I was 127 00:05:59,708 --> 00:06:01,468 Speaker 1: there in slippers. They almost kicked me out because I'm 128 00:06:01,508 --> 00:06:05,108 Speaker 1: some American beatnick. How many different types of sausage this morning? 129 00:06:06,228 --> 00:06:08,868 Speaker 1: There's everything you lifted up and you're ready for pancakes. 130 00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:12,308 Speaker 1: Ex No, every little cauldron tried sausage, and I tried 131 00:06:12,388 --> 00:06:15,388 Speaker 1: them all. There hadn't been an American that hasn't been 132 00:06:15,388 --> 00:06:18,548 Speaker 1: an American hotel than it is. Looking up that many 133 00:06:18,548 --> 00:06:20,788 Speaker 1: sausages yet, but I bring it up. Don't make it 134 00:06:20,868 --> 00:06:23,028 Speaker 1: look like we drums eat sausage all the time, you know, 135 00:06:23,428 --> 00:06:27,828 Speaker 1: no breast at the hotel. Back to the Baltimore Raven. 136 00:06:27,908 --> 00:06:32,068 Speaker 1: I'm trying that's got it best. But I'm feeling like 137 00:06:32,268 --> 00:06:34,788 Speaker 1: that's how Lamar is. Week to week. He shows up 138 00:06:34,828 --> 00:06:37,988 Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, the Andrews sausage is empy. Fine, 139 00:06:38,188 --> 00:06:40,948 Speaker 1: I'll go to the Isaiah Likely Sausage. I'll go. There's 140 00:06:40,948 --> 00:06:44,108 Speaker 1: a Kenyan Drake sausage on this team. Yeah, sausage. I 141 00:06:44,148 --> 00:06:46,788 Speaker 1: don't care, so like Lamar is at the Breakfast with Fame, 142 00:06:47,188 --> 00:06:51,348 Speaker 1: which Bjordan tells us, we've completely American eyes. I lived 143 00:06:51,348 --> 00:06:53,868 Speaker 1: in the US for twelve years. All the stereotypes you 144 00:06:53,948 --> 00:06:57,628 Speaker 1: may already fought about my accent and is a dead ringer. 145 00:06:59,788 --> 00:07:02,468 Speaker 1: The billboard, the billboard for an America. I'll be back 146 00:07:02,548 --> 00:07:07,108 Speaker 1: the whole terminail thing. David Hasslehall. He's American, American thing. 147 00:07:07,148 --> 00:07:09,668 Speaker 1: He's gentlemen because he wasn't big out here. He's American guy. 148 00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:14,988 Speaker 1: He's your guy. But I'm gonna open up the breakfast 149 00:07:15,028 --> 00:07:18,068 Speaker 1: sausage that is Kenyan Drake because I do feel strongly 150 00:07:18,108 --> 00:07:20,348 Speaker 1: but the fact that this run game, like this Ravens team, 151 00:07:20,588 --> 00:07:22,428 Speaker 1: they just they take their throne and they're just like, 152 00:07:22,468 --> 00:07:24,188 Speaker 1: get the lead and then they just run the ball. 153 00:07:24,428 --> 00:07:27,228 Speaker 1: Two touchdowns for Kenyan Drake ninety three yards. It just 154 00:07:27,268 --> 00:07:29,228 Speaker 1: happened to be his night. And that's fantastic. And that's 155 00:07:29,228 --> 00:07:31,228 Speaker 1: why the Ravens or any team that's gonna make it 156 00:07:31,268 --> 00:07:33,988 Speaker 1: far in the postseason, that's why they're good. Get the lead, 157 00:07:33,988 --> 00:07:35,388 Speaker 1: you run the ball, you get the lead to run 158 00:07:35,428 --> 00:07:37,788 Speaker 1: the wall. Here's just quote from Kenyan Drake that made 159 00:07:37,828 --> 00:07:39,708 Speaker 1: me chuckle this morning, and I'm gonna read it out loud. 160 00:07:39,828 --> 00:07:41,428 Speaker 1: You could have heard him say it, but I think 161 00:07:41,468 --> 00:07:43,788 Speaker 1: it's funnier to have somebody eat it the human This 162 00:07:43,868 --> 00:07:46,788 Speaker 1: is Kenyan Drake after the game. The human will can 163 00:07:46,828 --> 00:07:49,628 Speaker 1: only take so much. It was just pounding down in 164 00:07:49,788 --> 00:07:52,268 Speaker 1: and down out. That's just what this team is all about, 165 00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:55,508 Speaker 1: just continuing to wear teams down, grind them out four 166 00:07:55,548 --> 00:07:57,388 Speaker 1: quarters of football. If you can stand up to that, 167 00:07:57,548 --> 00:07:59,268 Speaker 1: more power to you. But more times than not, we're 168 00:07:59,268 --> 00:08:02,148 Speaker 1: gonna win that battle. Oh my god. That was just like, 169 00:08:03,148 --> 00:08:05,028 Speaker 1: human will can only take so much. He's like, I'm 170 00:08:05,028 --> 00:08:07,148 Speaker 1: just kidding.

Take 173 00:08:12,228 --> 00:08:15,068 Speaker 1: care business. It tells you whole mindset business. Yeah, installable 174 00:08:15,108 --> 00:08:17,948 Speaker 1: to them all. Jackson betting on himself, Yeah the quarter 175 00:08:18,068 --> 00:08:21,708 Speaker 1: they bets on himself. Everybody at Ronald says, yeah, human 176 00:08:21,788 --> 00:08:23,668 Speaker 1: will can only take sum much sausage. Isn't that what 177 00:08:23,748 --> 00:08:26,948 Speaker 1: we were saying before this? Who is writing me out 178 00:08:26,948 --> 00:08:29,868 Speaker 1: about it? Wearing slippers. People are gossiping, Sarah, that's what 179 00:08:29,988 --> 00:08:35,108 Speaker 1: you're reporting, isn't there something? Smith? She had this working 180 00:08:35,188 --> 00:08:37,348 Speaker 1: theory that like, we all show up at breakfast looking 181 00:08:37,428 --> 00:08:39,628 Speaker 1: like slobs, like we were out the beef trapp or 182 00:08:39,668 --> 00:08:42,548 Speaker 1: sweatshirt like and I was with the beef jerky sweatshirt 183 00:08:42,588 --> 00:08:45,148 Speaker 1: at breakfast, and then all of the high fashion German 184 00:08:45,188 --> 00:08:47,548 Speaker 1: people they get seated in a different part of the breakfast. 185 00:08:47,548 --> 00:08:49,868 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a stereotype about you Americans. You guys 186 00:08:49,868 --> 00:08:52,948 Speaker 1: wear slippers everywhere where? Do you guys going? Don't do that? 187 00:08:53,028 --> 00:08:55,148 Speaker 1: We style up a little bit even shopping, you know, 188 00:08:55,428 --> 00:08:58,988 Speaker 1: looks very high fashion all the time. Tom helliss Are 189 00:08:58,988 --> 00:09:00,788 Speaker 1: always looks good when he delivers us a new look 190 00:09:00,788 --> 00:09:03,828 Speaker 1: at him, I mean intrepid, Okay, you know he's like, 191 00:09:03,908 --> 00:09:06,268 Speaker 1: what are you guys doing here? What's going on with 192 00:09:06,468 --> 00:09:11,788 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Tom Pelsaro, Jamie. Who needs Peter Schreger When 193 00:09:11,788 --> 00:09:14,628 Speaker 1: you've got a NonStop flow of different large German men 194 00:09:14,708 --> 00:09:17,148 Speaker 1: at your disposal at any time? I'm very much enjoying 195 00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:20,668 Speaker 1: range contributions to Good Morning Football this morning. As for 196 00:09:20,908 --> 00:09:24,108 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, he and the Bills continue to gather information 197 00:09:24,308 --> 00:09:27,188 Speaker 1: on that injury to his throwing elbow that he suffered 198 00:09:27,268 --> 00:09:30,228 Speaker 1: in Sunday's lost to the Jets. Alan said after the 199 00:09:30,308 --> 00:09:32,388 Speaker 1: game he did have some pain that he was working 200 00:09:32,468 --> 00:09:34,468 Speaker 1: through in the elbow, but at that time was not 201 00:09:34,668 --> 00:09:37,388 Speaker 1: overly concerned about it, perhaps because a couple of plays 202 00:09:37,428 --> 00:09:39,228 Speaker 1: after he took the shot on the elbow, he threw 203 00:09:39,268 --> 00:09:42,788 Speaker 1: a pass the travel close to seventy yards in the air. Now, 204 00:09:42,868 --> 00:09:45,068 Speaker 1: this is not like baseball, where when you hear elbow 205 00:09:45,148 --> 00:09:47,548 Speaker 1: injury it automatically means a pitcher is being shut down, 206 00:09:47,668 --> 00:09:51,148 Speaker 1: likely headed towards surgery. There's been other quarterbacks, including Matthew 207 00:09:51,188 --> 00:09:53,308 Speaker 1: Stafford over the last couple of years, who haven't managed 208 00:09:53,508 --> 00:09:56,148 Speaker 1: an elbow injury. But it all depends on exactly what 209 00:09:56,348 --> 00:09:59,228 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is dealing with, which is why he's getting 210 00:09:59,268 --> 00:10:03,308 Speaker 1: the additional testing and information and opinions on this injury. 211 00:10:03,428 --> 00:10:06,748 Speaker 1: Marian Rapport reported that Allan will likely be limited in 212 00:10:06,828 --> 00:10:10,508 Speaker 1: practice this week, which makes sense, but initial optimism according 213 00:10:10,588 --> 00:10:12,908 Speaker 1: to Ian, that Allan will be ready to go this 214 00:10:13,028 --> 00:10:18,868 Speaker 1: week for a pretty good game against the Vikings. Good 215 00:10:18,908 --> 00:10:21,628 Speaker 1: Morning Football, back live from Munich. We're going to a 216 00:10:21,948 --> 00:10:25,428 Speaker 1: football game tonight. Soccer game at Alian Serena, the home 217 00:10:25,508 --> 00:10:28,628 Speaker 1: of FC Bayern Munich, that is the home of the 218 00:10:28,708 --> 00:10:31,628 Speaker 1: game on Sunday, though, And I know soccer purists might 219 00:10:31,628 --> 00:10:33,628 Speaker 1: be a little bit worried about the grass and fact 220 00:10:33,668 --> 00:10:35,628 Speaker 1: that you're the big old football players are coming in 221 00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:39,948 Speaker 1: a plan. But like I'm sure the environmentalists who check 222 00:10:39,988 --> 00:10:42,828 Speaker 1: on the grass there're gonna be all right. I'm not, 223 00:10:43,948 --> 00:10:51,988 Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm pro football in American football. On Monday, 224 00:10:52,028 --> 00:10:53,628 Speaker 1: when I get in there, they say, oh, we shouldn't 225 00:10:53,628 --> 00:10:57,428 Speaker 1: have done that, and just roll the sod back out right, 226 00:10:57,948 --> 00:11:00,308 Speaker 1: all right, Tom, Calo Saro is back with us because 227 00:11:00,348 --> 00:11:01,908 Speaker 1: he had to. We want to talk to Josh Allen. 228 00:11:01,948 --> 00:11:03,708 Speaker 1: But now we've talked about the Colts and the latest 229 00:11:03,748 --> 00:11:06,868 Speaker 1: and everything that went down yesterday Tom, which, honestly, I 230 00:11:06,908 --> 00:11:09,348 Speaker 1: think across the board, one of the most shocking headlines 231 00:11:09,428 --> 00:11:11,028 Speaker 1: for any of us to read was the change at 232 00:11:11,068 --> 00:11:16,068 Speaker 1: head coach that just happened in Indianapolis. That's right, Jamie 233 00:11:16,108 --> 00:11:19,428 Speaker 1: frank Reich out as the Colts head coach midway through 234 00:11:19,548 --> 00:11:24,548 Speaker 1: his fifth season, and in his former Cults center Jeff Saturday, 235 00:11:24,748 --> 00:11:28,388 Speaker 1: who has never coached above the high school level most 236 00:11:28,468 --> 00:11:31,108 Speaker 1: recently was working as a TV analyst and did have 237 00:11:31,228 --> 00:11:34,708 Speaker 1: a three season stint as a high school head coach. 238 00:11:35,228 --> 00:11:38,028 Speaker 1: Jim Ersey, along with Chris Ballard and Jeff Saturday, held 239 00:11:38,308 --> 00:11:41,868 Speaker 1: what was a absolutely fascinating press conference last night in 240 00:11:41,948 --> 00:11:46,068 Speaker 1: which Ers predominantly defended his decision to go outside the 241 00:11:46,228 --> 00:11:49,748 Speaker 1: organization by Patton Likes to Gus Bradley, John Fox, Pubba Ventrone, 242 00:11:49,788 --> 00:11:53,268 Speaker 1: all on staff to hire someone who has really never 243 00:11:53,468 --> 00:11:57,588 Speaker 1: coached before. Erse at various points said, yes, he is 244 00:11:57,908 --> 00:12:01,748 Speaker 1: fully experienced enough, Yes he is fully capable. Referring to 245 00:12:01,828 --> 00:12:04,708 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, also said he is the head coach for 246 00:12:04,788 --> 00:12:08,948 Speaker 1: eight games and hopefully more. In other words, Jim Ersey 247 00:12:09,068 --> 00:12:12,268 Speaker 1: hopes that Jeff Saturday, who admits he was as shocked 248 00:12:12,348 --> 00:12:15,908 Speaker 1: as everyone else when he got this call about becoming 249 00:12:15,988 --> 00:12:18,468 Speaker 1: the interim head coach ended up praying on it with 250 00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:20,988 Speaker 1: his wife, now feels like he was called for a 251 00:12:21,108 --> 00:12:24,428 Speaker 1: reason to go to Indianapolis and take the job. Ersey 252 00:12:24,548 --> 00:12:28,228 Speaker 1: hopes that this is potentially going to be his head coach, 253 00:12:28,628 --> 00:12:31,428 Speaker 1: not just for the rest of twenty twenty two, but 254 00:12:31,588 --> 00:12:34,748 Speaker 1: potentially into the future as well. Now, of course, the 255 00:12:34,868 --> 00:12:37,588 Speaker 1: Colts have to run a process under the Rooney rule 256 00:12:37,868 --> 00:12:41,308 Speaker 1: interview other candidates here, but it certainly sounds as if 257 00:12:41,388 --> 00:12:44,348 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, as he put it, is auditioning not just 258 00:12:44,548 --> 00:12:47,868 Speaker 1: for this job, but the other thirty one jobs as well. 259 00:12:48,148 --> 00:12:51,028 Speaker 1: Some other news out of that press conference. Chris Ballard 260 00:12:51,188 --> 00:12:54,188 Speaker 1: is expected to remain Darryl manager, according to Jim Ursey, 261 00:12:54,228 --> 00:12:57,108 Speaker 1: though Worth mentioning that Ersey also said within recent weeks 262 00:12:57,148 --> 00:13:00,228 Speaker 1: that he also expected Frank Reich to remain the head coach. Also, 263 00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:04,908 Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger remains the starting quarterback for the Colts beginning 264 00:13:05,028 --> 00:13:09,308 Speaker 1: on Sunday. On Jeff's Saturday, yes Jeff's Saturday makes his 265 00:13:09,388 --> 00:13:12,588 Speaker 1: debut as the interim head coach against the Raiders in 266 00:13:12,788 --> 00:13:16,388 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Guys, Tom Paliso, thank you so much. You 267 00:13:16,468 --> 00:13:19,828 Speaker 1: are spot on by saying that press conference was fascinating 268 00:13:19,908 --> 00:13:22,428 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis yesterday. At one point, Jeff Saturday said he 269 00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:24,828 Speaker 1: feels like he was drinking from a fire hose. Here's 270 00:13:24,948 --> 00:13:27,428 Speaker 1: more on what Colts owner Jim Rsay and the new 271 00:13:27,508 --> 00:13:30,428 Speaker 1: interim coach Jeff Saturday, had to say about his lack 272 00:13:30,508 --> 00:13:35,188 Speaker 1: of coaching experience taking this job. I'm glad he doesn't 273 00:13:35,188 --> 00:13:38,268 Speaker 1: have any NFL experience. I'm glad. He hasn't learned the 274 00:13:38,388 --> 00:13:41,028 Speaker 1: fear that's in this league. That's because it's tough for 275 00:13:41,148 --> 00:13:44,348 Speaker 1: our coaches. They're afraid. They go to analytics and it 276 00:13:44,428 --> 00:13:47,628 Speaker 1: gets difficult. I mean, he doesn't have all that. He 277 00:13:47,788 --> 00:13:50,748 Speaker 1: doesn't have that fear, and there was no other candidate. 278 00:13:50,988 --> 00:13:53,308 Speaker 1: We were fortunate that he was available. But I have 279 00:13:53,508 --> 00:13:57,428 Speaker 1: no preconceived notion that I'm going to be some spectacular 280 00:13:57,508 --> 00:13:59,828 Speaker 1: or anything. I know, I got to work hard and 281 00:14:00,708 --> 00:14:02,788 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm auditioned, and not only for this one, 282 00:14:02,868 --> 00:14:05,588 Speaker 1: but for thirty one others, just like everybody else in 283 00:14:05,668 --> 00:14:08,508 Speaker 1: this game. And make no mistake, man, the job is win, 284 00:14:11,188 --> 00:14:13,948 Speaker 1: all right, So rank break out. Jeff Saturday in Kyle 285 00:14:14,268 --> 00:14:16,588 Speaker 1: unpacked this for us. I don't see the problem. Everyone's 286 00:14:16,588 --> 00:14:18,228 Speaker 1: all up in arms. I think more teams should do it. 287 00:14:18,348 --> 00:14:19,708 Speaker 1: I think if you look around some of the last 288 00:14:19,708 --> 00:14:21,668 Speaker 1: place teams that they have to make a replacement. I 289 00:14:21,748 --> 00:14:23,708 Speaker 1: think the Lions should just hire Lomas Brown to be 290 00:14:23,748 --> 00:14:26,548 Speaker 1: their head coach. The Cardinals should hire Dan Dierdorff, the 291 00:14:26,668 --> 00:14:28,668 Speaker 1: Texans could hire Chester Pitts. And I don't know if 292 00:14:28,668 --> 00:14:31,148 Speaker 1: you saw this. Bell Belichick has finally named his successor 293 00:14:31,188 --> 00:14:32,508 Speaker 1: to be the next head coach of the Patriots. Not 294 00:14:32,628 --> 00:14:35,708 Speaker 1: Joe Judge's not It's a Devin m accordy. Devin mccordy. 295 00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:37,668 Speaker 1: Does he have any coaching experience? Jay, he played their 296 00:14:37,748 --> 00:14:40,788 Speaker 1: thirteen years. Like Saturday, he coach flag football. He might 297 00:14:40,788 --> 00:14:43,388 Speaker 1: be over qualified. Then, on a related note, I don't 298 00:14:43,388 --> 00:14:45,268 Speaker 1: know if you saw this, Marvel has hired Vin Diesel 299 00:14:45,348 --> 00:14:47,228 Speaker 1: to direct their next wave of movies because he was 300 00:14:47,268 --> 00:14:48,828 Speaker 1: a talking tree and a few of them. And on 301 00:14:48,908 --> 00:14:50,948 Speaker 1: a personal note, guys, this is my last morning football 302 00:14:50,948 --> 00:14:52,868 Speaker 1: show because I'm going to be the next NFL commissioner. 303 00:14:52,948 --> 00:14:54,308 Speaker 1: That's gonna be me. I don't know how to do 304 00:14:54,388 --> 00:14:56,308 Speaker 1: the job or anything, but I'm gonna get it. Yeah, 305 00:14:56,388 --> 00:14:58,628 Speaker 1: that's it. That's it. This is this could not be 306 00:14:58,668 --> 00:15:00,708 Speaker 1: the next shoe. Yes, you can come on over here, 307 00:15:00,788 --> 00:15:03,428 Speaker 1: and then Peter will come in here. Yeah. This story 308 00:15:03,548 --> 00:15:06,868 Speaker 1: is embarrassing. And I've got me Jeff Saturday a few 309 00:15:06,908 --> 00:15:08,788 Speaker 1: times and he was great and I really respect him 310 00:15:08,788 --> 00:15:11,148 Speaker 1: as a player and a media member. Isn't he embarrassed 311 00:15:11,268 --> 00:15:14,548 Speaker 1: to take this job at best uncomfortable for all the 312 00:15:14,668 --> 00:15:16,788 Speaker 1: respect that he has for coaches and the coaches who 313 00:15:16,828 --> 00:15:18,508 Speaker 1: have made him the player and the man that he is, 314 00:15:19,068 --> 00:15:21,468 Speaker 1: isn't this awkward for him? Did he consider saying no 315 00:15:21,868 --> 00:15:25,108 Speaker 1: just out of respect, because I honestly, look, I think 316 00:15:25,188 --> 00:15:27,748 Speaker 1: it is a huge backhand to every man and woman 317 00:15:27,788 --> 00:15:30,588 Speaker 1: in the world, and any coaching profession, and any coaching 318 00:15:30,628 --> 00:15:33,388 Speaker 1: position in the college, in the pros, in high school. 319 00:15:34,108 --> 00:15:37,228 Speaker 1: The coaching profession is something that drains you psychologically, that 320 00:15:37,348 --> 00:15:39,908 Speaker 1: moves your family across the country and the world. And 321 00:15:40,788 --> 00:15:42,508 Speaker 1: he got it because he's friends with the billionaire and 322 00:15:42,588 --> 00:15:43,988 Speaker 1: was a good player on the team. And I have 323 00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:46,028 Speaker 1: to say there is a very important note in that 324 00:15:46,108 --> 00:15:50,348 Speaker 1: the league is rife with concern and sensitivity about diversity 325 00:15:50,468 --> 00:15:53,228 Speaker 1: and hiring. And when those problems come up, the refrain 326 00:15:53,468 --> 00:15:55,908 Speaker 1: always to people who are frustrated is oh, no, no, no, 327 00:15:56,108 --> 00:15:57,988 Speaker 1: it's it's just it was has nothing to do with 328 00:15:58,068 --> 00:15:59,948 Speaker 1: the color of your skin. It's about the resume, the 329 00:15:59,988 --> 00:16:02,268 Speaker 1: best resume. And Connor or had a great article about it. 330 00:16:02,668 --> 00:16:05,668 Speaker 1: What do you say here because there's a high school 331 00:16:05,668 --> 00:16:07,748 Speaker 1: coach and here's on ESPN and screaming on get up. 332 00:16:08,388 --> 00:16:10,548 Speaker 1: It's an interesting media thing too, because this is an 333 00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:12,988 Speaker 1: ESPN employee, and I'd be fascinated to hear if anybody 334 00:16:12,988 --> 00:16:15,348 Speaker 1: in ESPN has something critical to say about Jeff Saturday 335 00:16:15,388 --> 00:16:16,948 Speaker 1: in this case, or is it just that we're happy 336 00:16:16,988 --> 00:16:20,748 Speaker 1: for Jeff Because if I'm the Colts, like I'm embarrassed yesterday, 337 00:16:20,788 --> 00:16:23,068 Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed by the press conference, by the hiring and 338 00:16:23,468 --> 00:16:25,068 Speaker 1: people say, it's just eight games. You don't know that 339 00:16:25,388 --> 00:16:27,108 Speaker 1: this could be it. If he goes foreign four? Is 340 00:16:27,148 --> 00:16:29,988 Speaker 1: he that had Colts head coach moving forward? I'm getting 341 00:16:29,988 --> 00:16:31,588 Speaker 1: worked up about it because I just think I don't 342 00:16:31,628 --> 00:16:33,388 Speaker 1: think it's funny, Like we're trying to have fun with it, 343 00:16:33,468 --> 00:16:36,868 Speaker 1: but like this affects people. It's dumb. It's a dumb story. Yeah, 344 00:16:36,868 --> 00:16:39,708 Speaker 1: you're spot on, because even in the hiring process, in 345 00:16:39,748 --> 00:16:42,268 Speaker 1: the press conference, he mentions the Rooney rule and oh 346 00:16:42,348 --> 00:16:43,908 Speaker 1: no off season, we're going to go through all of that. 347 00:16:44,068 --> 00:16:46,548 Speaker 1: But like you're saying, if Jeff Saturday goes four and four, 348 00:16:46,668 --> 00:16:48,388 Speaker 1: we like and we go through the process. We bring 349 00:16:48,468 --> 00:16:50,148 Speaker 1: in a bunch of people when we interview them, but 350 00:16:50,188 --> 00:16:53,228 Speaker 1: we already know who we're going to hire anyway. And 351 00:16:53,308 --> 00:16:56,228 Speaker 1: I'll take this more from the perspective of being inside 352 00:16:56,308 --> 00:16:59,188 Speaker 1: locker rooms and being in that building. If I'm a player, 353 00:16:59,588 --> 00:17:02,588 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday has not been here every single day. He 354 00:17:02,748 --> 00:17:04,668 Speaker 1: comes in and it's just like, all right, guys, this 355 00:17:04,828 --> 00:17:06,828 Speaker 1: is what we need to fix. How do you know? Like, 356 00:17:06,988 --> 00:17:08,468 Speaker 1: how in the world do you know what we need 357 00:17:08,508 --> 00:17:10,508 Speaker 1: to fix? If I'm a coach on that staff and 358 00:17:10,588 --> 00:17:13,068 Speaker 1: now we walk into the staff meeting and Jeff Saturday 359 00:17:13,108 --> 00:17:14,628 Speaker 1: sitting at the top of the table, and it's just like, 360 00:17:14,868 --> 00:17:17,388 Speaker 1: all right, this is who's going to be the offensive coordinator. 361 00:17:17,548 --> 00:17:19,468 Speaker 1: This is how we're doing this from now on on 362 00:17:19,628 --> 00:17:23,268 Speaker 1: that staff. Gus Bradley thirty three years, defensive coordinator, former 363 00:17:23,308 --> 00:17:26,708 Speaker 1: head coach, John Fox forty years, former head coach, dB 364 00:17:26,868 --> 00:17:29,468 Speaker 1: coach thirty two years, d line coach twenty six years, 365 00:17:29,828 --> 00:17:33,548 Speaker 1: linebackers coach forty four years old line coach thirty four years. 366 00:17:33,868 --> 00:17:37,068 Speaker 1: That much experience is sitting in the room in the building. 367 00:17:37,228 --> 00:17:40,948 Speaker 1: He brings Jeff Saturday and Reggie Wayne former Colt superstar. 368 00:17:41,188 --> 00:17:43,268 Speaker 1: He's on the staff. Are you just hired Reggie Wayne Man, 369 00:17:43,548 --> 00:17:46,148 Speaker 1: He's been around Like that's what it almost feels like. 370 00:17:46,188 --> 00:17:48,108 Speaker 1: Saturday was like I was surprised to get the call. 371 00:17:48,388 --> 00:17:50,548 Speaker 1: Maybe he feels indebted to Jim Ursy where it's just 372 00:17:50,588 --> 00:17:52,388 Speaker 1: like I can't say no to him, but I'm your 373 00:17:52,428 --> 00:17:55,588 Speaker 1: spot on like, this is crazy. The title should be different. 374 00:17:55,628 --> 00:17:57,508 Speaker 1: If it's like, are you coming in to just be 375 00:17:57,628 --> 00:18:00,548 Speaker 1: like a figurehead and help these guys who have a 376 00:18:00,708 --> 00:18:03,268 Speaker 1: boatload more experience than you do, then do it that 377 00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:06,868 Speaker 1: way interim head organizer or something like this is not 378 00:18:07,108 --> 00:18:09,028 Speaker 1: are you the handling you know Jim Mercy personally? What 379 00:18:09,148 --> 00:18:12,028 Speaker 1: are you drafted him? Yeah? Yeah, three years there. I mean, 380 00:18:12,188 --> 00:18:14,908 Speaker 1: I respect for this franchise, very thankful, but Jason's at 381 00:18:14,908 --> 00:18:17,468 Speaker 1: the best point football seasons of roller coaster? Yes, how 382 00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:19,988 Speaker 1: is he supposed to know what is going on right now? 383 00:18:20,028 --> 00:18:21,988 Speaker 1: I'm fix it for the rest of the season. And 384 00:18:22,068 --> 00:18:24,668 Speaker 1: because also right it's kind of disrespectful to the coaching 385 00:18:24,748 --> 00:18:27,828 Speaker 1: staff already there, because when was the last time interim 386 00:18:27,948 --> 00:18:31,708 Speaker 1: head coach is getting hired from outside in the middle 387 00:18:31,708 --> 00:18:34,028 Speaker 1: of the season. I never I never heard that. I 388 00:18:34,028 --> 00:18:37,668 Speaker 1: don't know you guys. I was a part of Ken 389 00:18:37,788 --> 00:18:40,388 Speaker 1: weizen Hunt was fired and Malarkey was hired. He was 390 00:18:40,428 --> 00:18:43,668 Speaker 1: a tight ends coach, Michael mcdarkey. And from that perspective, 391 00:18:43,708 --> 00:18:45,308 Speaker 1: if you're not bringing in a whole new staff, like 392 00:18:45,348 --> 00:18:47,508 Speaker 1: when a new coach is hired, that's different, but we're 393 00:18:47,508 --> 00:18:50,668 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. It's so odd. It's 394 00:18:50,748 --> 00:18:52,428 Speaker 1: kind of and I think because all the coaches have 395 00:18:52,508 --> 00:18:54,748 Speaker 1: so much experience, it's kind of awkward the first time 396 00:18:55,028 --> 00:18:58,028 Speaker 1: that has to be awkward, and it kind of for 397 00:18:58,108 --> 00:19:01,548 Speaker 1: me maybe sets up Saturday for Favre already because how 398 00:19:01,668 --> 00:19:04,148 Speaker 1: is he going to gain the respect right away when 399 00:19:04,228 --> 00:19:06,788 Speaker 1: all these experienced coaches who's just mentioned I already do 400 00:19:07,228 --> 00:19:09,148 Speaker 1: and you know UR said in the press comps because 401 00:19:09,308 --> 00:19:11,148 Speaker 1: you know the last interim head coach that I hired 402 00:19:11,388 --> 00:19:15,188 Speaker 1: was Bruce Arians. Well, Bruce Arians had forty years of experience, sir. 403 00:19:15,748 --> 00:19:18,428 Speaker 1: It's a different team on the staff. Yeah, and he 404 00:19:18,508 --> 00:19:20,828 Speaker 1: was there and he was like, that's not the victory 405 00:19:20,868 --> 00:19:24,268 Speaker 1: to point too. It's very confusing. It's very confusing and frustrating. Yeah, 406 00:19:24,308 --> 00:19:26,028 Speaker 1: it's a lot of emotions. It was there was the 407 00:19:26,108 --> 00:19:28,308 Speaker 1: thirty seconds of funny and now it just feels really awkward. 408 00:19:32,028 --> 00:19:34,668 Speaker 1: With that win last night, the Ravens let's stick in 409 00:19:34,668 --> 00:19:37,708 Speaker 1: the AFC improved to six and three, which means they 410 00:19:37,788 --> 00:19:40,148 Speaker 1: are tied for the most wins in NFC with a 411 00:19:40,268 --> 00:19:44,348 Speaker 1: ton of really good teams Chiefs, Bills, Jets, and the Dolphins. 412 00:19:44,428 --> 00:19:46,908 Speaker 1: So as we look at this group of teams with 413 00:19:47,388 --> 00:19:50,028 Speaker 1: half a dozen wins, where do the Ravens stack up 414 00:19:50,268 --> 00:19:52,508 Speaker 1: against these team other teams in the conference? And where 415 00:19:52,508 --> 00:19:54,068 Speaker 1: do your eyes go instead of the Ravens on our list? 416 00:19:54,108 --> 00:19:56,348 Speaker 1: Of course the Buffalo who the Ravens lost too. And 417 00:19:56,748 --> 00:19:58,028 Speaker 1: you know, everything is up in the air with this 418 00:19:58,148 --> 00:19:59,788 Speaker 1: Josh Allen thing, and that's why we leave the hour 419 00:19:59,868 --> 00:20:01,988 Speaker 1: with it. It's why Tom's talking about it, and it's 420 00:20:02,308 --> 00:20:03,828 Speaker 1: the Bills are doing what they do and they're just 421 00:20:03,948 --> 00:20:06,388 Speaker 1: kind of being Mum's the word and a little conservative, 422 00:20:06,788 --> 00:20:09,188 Speaker 1: but it's concerning, and you know, I think Bill's Twitter 423 00:20:09,388 --> 00:20:12,148 Speaker 1: right now is really nervous and really concerned because this 424 00:20:12,268 --> 00:20:14,748 Speaker 1: is their guy and this is, you know, the dream season. 425 00:20:14,788 --> 00:20:17,068 Speaker 1: And then we saw the play and if you follow 426 00:20:17,148 --> 00:20:18,828 Speaker 1: the stuff and you follow the medical experts and you 427 00:20:18,908 --> 00:20:21,588 Speaker 1: listen to the news people, you link the things together 428 00:20:21,708 --> 00:20:23,388 Speaker 1: and it looks ugly. And if you know that he 429 00:20:23,508 --> 00:20:25,228 Speaker 1: has a little bit of a history with an elbow 430 00:20:25,308 --> 00:20:27,988 Speaker 1: and you miss some time before, it's tricky because we're 431 00:20:27,988 --> 00:20:29,908 Speaker 1: also in here trying to be doctors, and the doctors 432 00:20:29,948 --> 00:20:32,108 Speaker 1: in as say, okay, so this happened. And then on 433 00:20:32,188 --> 00:20:35,588 Speaker 1: the next play, he threw the farthest past the NFL 434 00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:37,228 Speaker 1: has seen in years, and I'm not making that up. 435 00:20:37,268 --> 00:20:39,068 Speaker 1: It travels sixty seven yards in the air to gave 436 00:20:39,148 --> 00:20:41,148 Speaker 1: Davison is in complete. So you're like, Oh, he's fine, 437 00:20:41,588 --> 00:20:43,788 Speaker 1: But then you hear this. I'm going to talk to 438 00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:46,468 Speaker 1: Josh today, in fact tonight, like late tonight, and we'll 439 00:20:46,468 --> 00:20:48,748 Speaker 1: talk about it, and I think he's probably gonna be 440 00:20:48,868 --> 00:20:50,948 Speaker 1: very tight lips. They have a huge game against the Vikings, 441 00:20:51,028 --> 00:20:54,108 Speaker 1: so look, hopefully he's fine. He's Josh sixty seven yard 442 00:20:54,148 --> 00:20:57,108 Speaker 1: pass proves it. If he's not for some reason, Bill's 443 00:20:57,188 --> 00:20:59,308 Speaker 1: Vikings is a massive game, and if he has to 444 00:20:59,348 --> 00:21:02,548 Speaker 1: miss time, these teams like the Ravens and the Bengals 445 00:21:02,588 --> 00:21:05,588 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs, they're common and they're good and they're loaded, 446 00:21:06,028 --> 00:21:08,108 Speaker 1: and it's big. I think a lot of things in 447 00:21:08,108 --> 00:21:09,828 Speaker 1: the FC hanging the balance with the new cycle today, 448 00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:11,148 Speaker 1: which is why we're starting with it. And I hope 449 00:21:11,188 --> 00:21:13,388 Speaker 1: he feels all right. Yeah, you're so spot on with that, 450 00:21:13,508 --> 00:21:15,748 Speaker 1: especially a guy like Josh Allen. He means so much 451 00:21:15,748 --> 00:21:18,908 Speaker 1: a massive thing. For sure. He's Keenom is his backup. 452 00:21:19,308 --> 00:21:21,788 Speaker 1: He's not able to go case. Keenom you're a Vikings fan, 453 00:21:22,148 --> 00:21:24,948 Speaker 1: him going against Minnesota would be a power that would 454 00:21:25,388 --> 00:21:28,188 Speaker 1: exactly the Baltimore Ravens though. Right now they're rolling. They're 455 00:21:28,228 --> 00:21:30,548 Speaker 1: winning games the way we expect them. They're running the 456 00:21:30,588 --> 00:21:32,868 Speaker 1: ball and they're playing good defense, and they have a 457 00:21:32,948 --> 00:21:36,068 Speaker 1: quarterback in Lamar Jackson that always has them in the conversation. 458 00:21:36,428 --> 00:21:41,308 Speaker 1: But the Miami Dolphins in Ta Tonguabaila, the only quarterback 459 00:21:41,388 --> 00:21:44,508 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now that is undefeated when he 460 00:21:44,588 --> 00:21:47,228 Speaker 1: finishes a game on the AFC, not NFL. I'm sorry, 461 00:21:47,428 --> 00:21:50,348 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurst. That goes to you. Tua has been balling. 462 00:21:50,428 --> 00:21:53,628 Speaker 1: Has this Miami Dolphins offense exactly where they need to be. 463 00:21:53,908 --> 00:21:56,268 Speaker 1: We talked about Tyreek Hill coming over and the impact 464 00:21:56,308 --> 00:21:57,828 Speaker 1: he was gonna have. Would he be able to put 465 00:21:57,948 --> 00:22:00,668 Speaker 1: up the same numbers, Well, he's putting up better numbers, 466 00:22:00,948 --> 00:22:02,948 Speaker 1: Jalen Wader. Will he be able to follow up from 467 00:22:02,948 --> 00:22:05,908 Speaker 1: a great rookie season year or two? He's doing it 468 00:22:06,028 --> 00:22:07,948 Speaker 1: and it's on the back up to it. He has 469 00:22:07,988 --> 00:22:10,388 Speaker 1: put a belief in a hope in that organization with 470 00:22:10,508 --> 00:22:12,428 Speaker 1: his play, and he's been elite. He's been one of 471 00:22:12,468 --> 00:22:15,668 Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the league. This season. So as 472 00:22:15,788 --> 00:22:17,988 Speaker 1: much as the Baltimore Ravens are winning and they have 473 00:22:18,108 --> 00:22:21,108 Speaker 1: themselves in the conversation, the Miami Dolphins are a team 474 00:22:21,308 --> 00:22:23,428 Speaker 1: that we're not saying, oh yeah, super Bowl contenders. Is 475 00:22:23,548 --> 00:22:25,148 Speaker 1: that in the third Now? They're rolling right now and 476 00:22:25,188 --> 00:22:27,268 Speaker 1: they're playing some good football. I mean, Ravens are great. 477 00:22:27,268 --> 00:22:29,188 Speaker 1: We set that sneaky team. I think they're gonna be 478 00:22:29,188 --> 00:22:30,668 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and you don't want to see them 479 00:22:30,828 --> 00:22:32,988 Speaker 1: first week in the playoffs. I think they're gonna win 480 00:22:33,028 --> 00:22:34,708 Speaker 1: their game. It doesn't matter who that is now. But 481 00:22:34,868 --> 00:22:37,788 Speaker 1: I take the Chiefs, who are my contender in the AFC. 482 00:22:38,188 --> 00:22:39,908 Speaker 1: They lost to the Bills, I know, but they shoot, 483 00:22:39,948 --> 00:22:41,948 Speaker 1: they're not gonna lose again when they see him, maybe 484 00:22:42,028 --> 00:22:45,108 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And Patrick mahomes magic is incredible. He's 485 00:22:45,148 --> 00:22:47,268 Speaker 1: doing it again. Not so many turnovers like last year, 486 00:22:47,268 --> 00:22:50,468 Speaker 1: their deceptions, and you mentioned Tyreek Hill. He's doing all 487 00:22:50,508 --> 00:22:53,228 Speaker 1: these things this year without Tyreek Hill. And everybody was 488 00:22:53,308 --> 00:22:55,748 Speaker 1: waiting in the offseason Week one, how good is his 489 00:22:55,788 --> 00:22:58,188 Speaker 1: offense gonna look without Tyree Hill? And guess what they got? 490 00:22:58,188 --> 00:23:01,348 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and Trelis Kesey looks like the best Titans 491 00:23:01,348 --> 00:23:03,348 Speaker 1: who ever played the game right now. It is kind 492 00:23:03,348 --> 00:23:05,428 Speaker 1: of a fascinating occurred and how this has happened because 493 00:23:05,428 --> 00:23:07,588 Speaker 1: the Bills started the season absolutely shot out of a 494 00:23:07,668 --> 00:23:09,428 Speaker 1: canon for a lot of reasons. You know, they had 495 00:23:09,468 --> 00:23:12,028 Speaker 1: to face the defending Super Bowl champions, and they had 496 00:23:12,068 --> 00:23:14,148 Speaker 1: a lot of expectation and very much they've lived up 497 00:23:14,188 --> 00:23:16,428 Speaker 1: to that expectation. But Kyle, you nailed it, like these 498 00:23:16,508 --> 00:23:19,948 Speaker 1: teams are coming for him. The Ravens defense, in particular, 499 00:23:20,028 --> 00:23:21,668 Speaker 1: I think is starting to play at a clip that 500 00:23:21,948 --> 00:23:23,948 Speaker 1: no one else really wanted this to be happening so far, 501 00:23:23,988 --> 00:23:26,308 Speaker 1: because earlier in the season, who was this really awkward 502 00:23:26,348 --> 00:23:28,828 Speaker 1: occurrence where You're watching this Ravens team like this is 503 00:23:28,948 --> 00:23:30,868 Speaker 1: not what I'm used to for a harvou coach team. 504 00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:32,788 Speaker 1: They had a change of defensive coordinator, they were given 505 00:23:32,868 --> 00:23:35,108 Speaker 1: up forty two points to the Dolphins, twenty six to 506 00:23:35,188 --> 00:23:37,588 Speaker 1: the Patriots, they lost to the Bills. They were giving 507 00:23:37,668 --> 00:23:40,748 Speaker 1: up games late. It was just it was very strange. 508 00:23:40,788 --> 00:23:42,908 Speaker 1: And so I think this addition of Roquan Smith and 509 00:23:43,148 --> 00:23:44,988 Speaker 1: Smith arrived this week and he said, I don't see 510 00:23:44,988 --> 00:23:47,308 Speaker 1: any issues with this defense. I think they're shutting the 511 00:23:47,428 --> 00:23:50,988 Speaker 1: ball down in every layer of defense. And this is 512 00:23:51,028 --> 00:23:52,988 Speaker 1: a steamroll that I think no one wanted to see 513 00:23:52,988 --> 00:23:56,908 Speaker 1: in the AFC. Was the Ravens figuring out, returning to 514 00:23:57,148 --> 00:23:59,468 Speaker 1: Ravens defense of old and really what we know in 515 00:23:59,588 --> 00:24:01,628 Speaker 1: love about this team. But I think I think they 516 00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:04,428 Speaker 1: have become officially the most dangerous team in the I 517 00:24:04,868 --> 00:24:06,988 Speaker 1: think it's well put. There's a lot of dangerous ones, 518 00:24:07,028 --> 00:24:08,188 Speaker 1: and you're saying no one wants to see them in 519 00:24:08,228 --> 00:24:09,908 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Is perfect? Biorn. We have to ask it. 520 00:24:10,308 --> 00:24:11,868 Speaker 1: We all do it in this industry. Did you make 521 00:24:11,988 --> 00:24:14,388 Speaker 1: a preseason Super Bowl pick? Like who you think will 522 00:24:14,388 --> 00:24:17,428 Speaker 1: win the whole thing? I said it was Tampa Batty. 523 00:24:17,868 --> 00:24:21,908 Speaker 1: You said, Tampa Bay. Okay, Tampa Bay. Zoom tight. You're 524 00:24:21,948 --> 00:24:25,388 Speaker 1: looking at over there, we're here, you said, I thought 525 00:24:25,428 --> 00:24:28,628 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the cheese against I'm good still on 526 00:24:28,668 --> 00:24:31,068 Speaker 1: the cheese. Still got hoped though some people put the 527 00:24:31,108 --> 00:24:36,108 Speaker 1: cheese out, did you hear, Jamie? Some people didn't even 528 00:24:36,148 --> 00:24:38,548 Speaker 1: put the cheese. She brought her bout? Who did none 529 00:24:38,588 --> 00:24:40,908 Speaker 1: of the playoffs? Right? What was it, Jamie? You like 530 00:24:40,948 --> 00:24:43,708 Speaker 1: the Raiders? What was the Charger? The Raiders? First? Raiders 531 00:24:45,228 --> 00:24:47,588 Speaker 1: need took a shot. I need to be shown the exit. No, 532 00:24:48,068 --> 00:24:50,548 Speaker 1: did Brady in the Bucks save their season? Biorn hope. 533 00:24:50,548 --> 00:24:52,148 Speaker 1: So because he has them in the super Bowl, can 534 00:24:52,148 --> 00:24:54,348 Speaker 1: they keep it going against the Seahawks on Sunday? That 535 00:24:54,548 --> 00:24:56,308 Speaker 1: was a hug for the Ages. I mean that hug 536 00:24:56,428 --> 00:24:59,828 Speaker 1: spoke volumes that chest. Pump me so hard man. Sarah 537 00:24:59,868 --> 00:25:01,588 Speaker 1: Walsh is here. She covers the team. She lives in 538 00:25:01,588 --> 00:25:10,468 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. She's got it all all covered. Speaking of 539 00:25:10,988 --> 00:25:13,468 Speaker 1: rehearsal and then performing on the grand stage of Seahawks 540 00:25:13,508 --> 00:25:15,828 Speaker 1: look really really good. What's going on with the team 541 00:25:15,908 --> 00:25:20,508 Speaker 1: that you know oh so much about? Well, thank you, Jamie, 542 00:25:20,548 --> 00:25:22,748 Speaker 1: as I am a Seahawks expert. And what I wanted 543 00:25:23,068 --> 00:25:24,828 Speaker 1: to say to you guys in terms of segueing this, 544 00:25:24,908 --> 00:25:26,708 Speaker 1: I know that Kyle and you guys give us a 545 00:25:26,708 --> 00:25:29,588 Speaker 1: lot of grief about Jamie and I picking off people's 546 00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:32,468 Speaker 1: plates eating nachos. So because of that, I spoke to 547 00:25:32,588 --> 00:25:34,948 Speaker 1: Nacho on the Bucks. If you're not familiar with Nacho, 548 00:25:35,108 --> 00:25:37,188 Speaker 1: that's actually what he goes by. It's Rickie nun yez 549 00:25:37,228 --> 00:25:38,868 Speaker 1: roach as he's on the defensive line. And I talked 550 00:25:38,868 --> 00:25:40,588 Speaker 1: to him last night. Hear from Germany, and I said, 551 00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:43,268 Speaker 1: when you look at these Seahawks. What stands out to you? 552 00:25:43,828 --> 00:25:46,868 Speaker 1: And really quickly he just goes confidence, He goes, I 553 00:25:46,948 --> 00:25:49,308 Speaker 1: look at these guys, and I see a group that 554 00:25:49,468 --> 00:25:52,108 Speaker 1: depends on each other, that's playing together, that they don't 555 00:25:52,148 --> 00:25:55,108 Speaker 1: act like individuals. They play as a team for each other. 556 00:25:55,628 --> 00:25:58,148 Speaker 1: And he says they're riding high they should be. And 557 00:25:58,268 --> 00:26:00,988 Speaker 1: I think what's sort of interesting about his comments is 558 00:26:01,188 --> 00:26:03,948 Speaker 1: it sounds like he's describing a veteran team. And sure, yes, 559 00:26:03,988 --> 00:26:06,708 Speaker 1: they're a veterans on the Seahawks, but a lot of 560 00:26:06,748 --> 00:26:09,188 Speaker 1: these rookies are coming up huge. And Pete Carroll when 561 00:26:09,188 --> 00:26:11,308 Speaker 1: he met with the media on Monday, he talked about 562 00:26:11,388 --> 00:26:15,708 Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker again and his marvelous creativity, his marvelous ability, 563 00:26:15,828 --> 00:26:19,588 Speaker 1: that is how Carroll described him, and so much potential 564 00:26:19,908 --> 00:26:21,468 Speaker 1: for this guy. And then you flip to the other 565 00:26:21,548 --> 00:26:23,588 Speaker 1: side of the ball for the Seahawks. They've got rookie 566 00:26:23,628 --> 00:26:26,308 Speaker 1: corners that have come up massively huge for this team 567 00:26:26,388 --> 00:26:28,468 Speaker 1: so far. And you look at Jordan Brooks, not a 568 00:26:28,548 --> 00:26:30,988 Speaker 1: rookie but once again leading the league in tackles. This 569 00:26:31,108 --> 00:26:33,908 Speaker 1: is a Seahawks defense that has vastly improved when you 570 00:26:33,948 --> 00:26:36,028 Speaker 1: look at where they were from weeks one to five. Well, 571 00:26:36,068 --> 00:26:38,468 Speaker 1: since Week six on, they've been one of the best 572 00:26:38,548 --> 00:26:42,348 Speaker 1: defenses in this league, allowing teams just to average sixteen 573 00:26:42,348 --> 00:26:44,108 Speaker 1: and a half points per game. That could be a 574 00:26:44,188 --> 00:26:46,348 Speaker 1: problem for the Buccaneers. As you guys well know and 575 00:26:46,468 --> 00:26:49,988 Speaker 1: have dissected on the show, scoring points has not been 576 00:26:50,068 --> 00:26:52,508 Speaker 1: easy for Tampa Bay, and now they get a Seahawks 577 00:26:52,588 --> 00:26:56,828 Speaker 1: defense that is really doing its job. Jamie, it's gonna 578 00:26:56,828 --> 00:26:58,668 Speaker 1: be a great game, Sarah and Pete Carroll is excited 579 00:26:58,708 --> 00:27:01,268 Speaker 1: about this team. Munich is excited about this team. You 580 00:27:01,308 --> 00:27:03,108 Speaker 1: can feel it in the streets. There's a lot of 581 00:27:03,308 --> 00:27:06,428 Speaker 1: Seahawks love out there. That's Sarah Walsh, best in the business. 582 00:27:06,468 --> 00:27:08,428 Speaker 1: She comes to Germany and orders nachos, and when she 583 00:27:08,508 --> 00:27:10,468 Speaker 1: covers the game in Mexico, she'll order bratt words. That's 584 00:27:10,508 --> 00:27:12,948 Speaker 1: just how she gets down. She goes against the grain. 585 00:27:13,028 --> 00:27:15,588 Speaker 1: That's why I did not order. I did not order 586 00:27:15,668 --> 00:27:18,388 Speaker 1: the nachos in fairness, somebody else ordered them and we 587 00:27:18,468 --> 00:27:20,788 Speaker 1: were just snacking. And the reason I didn't order is 588 00:27:20,828 --> 00:27:25,068 Speaker 1: because I had spetchels and schnitzel at a German restaurant 589 00:27:25,108 --> 00:27:27,228 Speaker 1: before I went to the pub that you guys were 590 00:27:27,268 --> 00:27:29,348 Speaker 1: gonna eat pub food out so like I did my 591 00:27:29,508 --> 00:27:33,228 Speaker 1: due diligence here in Germany. So the nacho thing is 592 00:27:33,308 --> 00:27:36,828 Speaker 1: I think it's it's a bit unfair. Okay, it's NATO problem. 593 00:27:36,908 --> 00:27:38,828 Speaker 1: Then we'll get out of it. It's fine, Sarah, You've 594 00:27:38,828 --> 00:27:40,548 Speaker 1: been amazing. We've been here a couple of nights. We 595 00:27:40,588 --> 00:27:42,588 Speaker 1: went to an Irish place and a Japanese place. That's 596 00:27:42,628 --> 00:27:44,988 Speaker 1: what we do. This authenticicity, that is what we do. 597 00:27:45,268 --> 00:27:47,548 Speaker 1: Thank you, Sarah. And I think authenticity. I think you 598 00:27:47,628 --> 00:27:51,068 Speaker 1: know who William martin Selva out in Los Angeles, Hello, 599 00:27:51,348 --> 00:27:55,988 Speaker 1: will how are you good? You guys have me craving 600 00:27:56,148 --> 00:27:59,748 Speaker 1: a beer this early in the morning as well. It's 601 00:27:59,788 --> 00:28:02,708 Speaker 1: probably I'm thinking of buscinnati here and going to a 602 00:28:02,788 --> 00:28:06,308 Speaker 1: local watering hole and belling up to the bar because 603 00:28:06,348 --> 00:28:09,148 Speaker 1: of you guys. It wasn't gonna be satur ranch on 604 00:28:09,268 --> 00:28:17,908 Speaker 1: sunset thirty minutes. Make it fifteen, my friend. The Colts, 605 00:28:18,468 --> 00:28:23,108 Speaker 1: I try to make that transition. The Cults. They made 606 00:28:23,108 --> 00:28:27,268 Speaker 1: a couple of curious coaching moves yesterday. One they ended 607 00:28:27,348 --> 00:28:30,188 Speaker 1: up firing Frank Wright, and they also hired on an 608 00:28:30,308 --> 00:28:34,468 Speaker 1: interim basis former center Jeff Saturday, who has no NFL 609 00:28:34,548 --> 00:28:39,308 Speaker 1: head coaching experience, no college head coaching experience, But coult 610 00:28:39,348 --> 00:28:43,668 Speaker 1: soner Jim Orsay did defend the decision to go with Saturday. 611 00:28:45,228 --> 00:28:48,428 Speaker 1: I'm glad he doesn't have in it NFL experience. I'm 612 00:28:48,468 --> 00:28:51,068 Speaker 1: glad he hasn't learned the fear that's in this league. 613 00:28:51,308 --> 00:28:54,308 Speaker 1: That's because it's tough for our coaches. They're afraid, they 614 00:28:54,388 --> 00:28:57,428 Speaker 1: go to analytics and it gets difficult. I mean, he 615 00:28:57,588 --> 00:29:00,708 Speaker 1: doesn't have all that, he doesn't have that fear, and 616 00:29:00,788 --> 00:29:03,388 Speaker 1: there was no other candidate. We were fortunate that he 617 00:29:03,508 --> 00:29:08,148 Speaker 1: was available, and he has tons of experience. He knows 618 00:29:08,228 --> 00:29:12,668 Speaker 1: this game inside and out with relationships with coaches and players, 619 00:29:14,948 --> 00:29:21,628 Speaker 1: and it's been a consultant for us for several years. Meanwhile, 620 00:29:21,708 --> 00:29:26,348 Speaker 1: Bears quarterback Justin Fields ran absolutely wild on the Dolphins 621 00:29:26,508 --> 00:29:30,028 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Cameras catching this moment. I've head coach Mike 622 00:29:30,148 --> 00:29:33,948 Speaker 1: McDaniel on the sideline apparently telling Fields to stop it. 623 00:29:34,868 --> 00:29:37,308 Speaker 1: Mc daniel was asked about it on Monday and said 624 00:29:37,708 --> 00:29:42,468 Speaker 1: he was tired of seeing Fields running all over the field. No, 625 00:29:42,628 --> 00:29:47,428 Speaker 1: I just wanted them to stop scrambling. And it was 626 00:29:47,508 --> 00:29:50,668 Speaker 1: pretty irritating because he didn't listen at all. He didn't 627 00:29:50,708 --> 00:29:53,948 Speaker 1: take the coaching at that stage of the game. You know, 628 00:29:54,028 --> 00:29:56,988 Speaker 1: I figured no one had no one had asked him 629 00:29:57,028 --> 00:30:02,908 Speaker 1: to stop it, so you know, I gave that a try. Oh. 630 00:30:03,508 --> 00:30:06,548 Speaker 1: I think other coaches can learn from my experience that 631 00:30:06,628 --> 00:30:13,668 Speaker 1: he does not listen so um rely on other tactics. Hey, 632 00:30:13,668 --> 00:30:17,388 Speaker 1: at least he tried. Jess. Please, could you stop running 633 00:30:17,428 --> 00:30:20,148 Speaker 1: all over by team? Please, for the love of God, 634 00:30:20,708 --> 00:30:23,908 Speaker 1: don't be running rough shot over by team. You know, 635 00:30:24,108 --> 00:30:29,588 Speaker 1: I mean it was a good what you can coachability? Yeah, exactly, obviously, 636 00:30:29,708 --> 00:30:31,388 Speaker 1: Justin Fields. I love that he just didn't listen. I 637 00:30:31,428 --> 00:30:33,988 Speaker 1: know it's that's an indictment on Justin Fields. Will saliva, 638 00:30:34,068 --> 00:30:36,828 Speaker 1: thank you. That was a fantastic role of news there
