1
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson has spoken one day after being benched for

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. Hear what everyone is saying in India about

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: a move coach Shansteike and hopes will give the Colts

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: a lift starting Sunday night in Minnesota, the Lions and

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: Backers playing for first place in the NFC North. But

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: will either teams starting quarterback be on the field Sunday?

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 1: No Jordan Love and no Jared goffin practice?

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: Today?

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: Are Stacy Dales will join us with the latest. Also,

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: could Labacaki end up being the best wide receiver in

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four NFL Draft. That might be asking

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: a lot, but he did have two touchdowns over one

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards last week.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: And he's the first of that group to come on

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: this show.

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: Where are you at PLAK neighbors, Welcome inside with the

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Insiders alongside Judy Battista, Eddie and Rappaport. I am Tom Pelissero.

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: We are on the eve of Week nine in the NFL.

19
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: The Jets and Texans will kick that one off on

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: Prime video.

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: We got a lot to.

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Talk about through the course of this show, looking ahead

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: to a bunch of big matchups here in Week nine.

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: We start out once.

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: Again in Indianapolis, where, one day after the significant news

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: for the organization BOLL short and longer term was revealed,

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: we heard from Anthony Richardson, Shane Steiken, and others about

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: the change Anthony Richardson to the bench Joe Flacco in

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: why this move right now?

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: Shane Steiken.

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: Tough decision about what I felt was in the best

32
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: interest of our football team. Feiel that Joe gives us

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: the best chance to win right now. With that being said,

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: not giving up on Anthony by any means really not.

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: He's a young player with a ton of talent. You know,

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: He'll use the time to continue to develop and grow

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: as a professional.

38
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: You know. It's just another opportunity to grow, you know,

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: look back and just reflect on things I could have

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 4: done better for the team and for the squad, you know,

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: and just just focus on that.

42
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 5: Would you do anything differently with the tap out play

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 5: or say anything differently about it.

44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 4: You know, regarding that play? You know, I know I

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: can't do that as a leader, you know, especially as

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: a quarterback of this team, and especially just as a

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 4: football player in journal. You know, I can't necessarily just

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: bring myself out of the game like that, especially in

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: key moments like that. But you know, you live and

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: you learn. You just got to know grow from it.

51
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna still, you know, prepare as if I am

52
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: the starter, you know, I feel like there is an

53
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: opportunity for me to step back on the field, and

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 4: when it does no presentents of it, I'm gonna take

55
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: advantage of it.

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 6: Everybody has the same goal when they come in this building,

57
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 6: which is to win football games, so it stays the same. Listen,

58
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 6: I think the thing we got to remember here is

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 6: Anthony's really young. I think it would have been I

60
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 6: know that when I was that young, there's no chance

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 6: that I would have been able to have the perspective

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 6: and just the right head on my shoulders to necessity

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 6: to handle it and take it the right way. But

64
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 6: now being you know this my seventeenth year, I do

65
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 6: have that perspective. So if you can kind of give

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 6: any of that to him in terms of just this

67
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 6: doesn't have to be a negative thing.

68
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 7: Do you ever start from the fritch as?

69
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 8: Again, I can't predict that, but I'm not losing faith

70
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 8: in that. I promise you that plan. I can't predict

71
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 8: the future, but I mean, that'd be great. We'll see, all.

72
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: Right, So let's distill everything we just heard right there,

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: because obviously, you know, Joe Flacco's being in a position

74
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: where LeVar Jackson ended up taking over for him in Baltimore.

75
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: This isn't totally foreign. I'll be it at different stages

76
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: in their career. You heard from Anthony Richardson.

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: Who is always a pretty positive type of guy. Ian.

78
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: There are key differences here between the Colt situation and

79
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: the Panthers after Week two benching the number one pick

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: from that same draft, Brice Young, but similar messaging from

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: the head coach, which is, this is the plan moving forward.

82
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: It's not hey, we're just taking a one week break

83
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: or anything like that. And it's also this gives us

84
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: the best chance to win. In other words, an opportunity

85
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: for Shane stik and on a team that has done

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: a lot of.

87
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: Good things this season. Say, you know what, the best.

88
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: Thing for everybody, including Anthony Richardson, right now, it's for

89
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco to be on the field.

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 9: I mean reading into the words of Shane Steike, and

91
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 9: it felt a little to me, a little more permanent

92
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 9: than the Carolina Panthers one did and we'll obviously get

93
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 9: to that in a little bit with Bryce Young getting

94
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 9: back on the line up again. I hopefully didn't spoil

95
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 9: the surprise there. But the biggest issue that Indianapolis has

96
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 9: now besides Anthony Richardson just not quite developing as quickly

97
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 9: as they would like, is they are a good team.

98
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 10: They are a good team. They have a chance to

99
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 10: win the division.

100
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 9: You look all around the roster, it is at least

101
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 9: more than adequate. And the fact that we have seen

102
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 9: Joe Flacco go in and run this offense like it

103
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 9: should be run as one of the worst things that

104
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 9: could have ever happened to Anthony Richardson.

105
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 10: It's a good thing for his team.

106
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 9: It's a good thing for Joe Flacca, who is improbably

107
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 9: once again a starting quarterback for a team that has

108
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 9: a chance to make the playoffs. After a couple of

109
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 9: performances there reminded everyone like, hey, this guy is pretty good.

110
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 9: So for the Colts and for Shane Stike it their

111
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 9: mission is to do is best for the team, what's

112
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 9: best for the locker room, put themselves, give themselves a

113
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 9: chance to win.

114
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 10: This is the obvious answer.

115
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 9: I mean, seriously, Judy like it would be hard to

116
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 9: imagine the Colts doing anything else but this, which is

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 9: why when the news came out yesterday, I think a

118
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 9: lot of people were like, yeah, of course, because we've

119
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 9: seen Flaco do it. The biggest issue now is what

120
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 9: do they do with Anthony Richardson, who they invested so

121
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 9: much in a lot of money high draftic. He is

122
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 9: extremely talented, but you can't play him with a team

123
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 9: that stills a chance to make the playoffs.

124
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 11: Well, we touched on this a little bit yesterday when

125
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 11: he was benched, but my question was when we heard

126
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 11: from Shane Stiken, I wanted to hear what's the plan

127
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 11: to unwind this Anthony Richardson, Like, what's the plan for

128
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 11: how he's going to get back on the field and

129
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 11: how is he going to get the reps he needs

130
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 11: to get the experience he so desperately needs. And the

131
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 11: answer is, there doesn't seem to be a plan for

132
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 11: that right now. I mean, you heard Shane Stike and

133
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 11: say there, you know, I can't predict the future. They're

134
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 11: not giving up on him, they keep saying, but this

135
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 11: is clearly Joe Flacco's team going forward unless he gets hurt, which,

136
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 11: of course nobody wants to have happen. But this sounds like,

137
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 11: as you pointed out, in a much more permanent decision

138
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 11: than the way they were approaching it in Carolina with

139
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 11: Bryce Young, where the door seemed to always be open

140
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 11: for him to somehow get back on the field, and

141
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 11: he has gotten back on the field. This certainly seems

142
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 11: like we are not going to see Anthony Richardson again

143
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 11: this season at least, and then I guess the question

144
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 11: is what happens after that. Presumably he's still with the

145
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 11: team going into next season.

146
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 12: Maybe who knows.

147
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 11: We certainly didn't get an answer to that today, But frankly,

148
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 11: that's not the most pressing problem for them right now.

149
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 12: They've got playoff.

150
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 11: Possibility right in front of them, and that is what

151
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 11: they have to concentrate on.

152
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: Well, you take a look too at the numbers on

153
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson across the board key categories here, he's at

154
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: or near the bottom. Completion percentage worse in the league,

155
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: passer rating worst in the league. And this is on

156
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: an offense too, where they've invested a lot at the

157
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver position, drafting guys like Alec Pierce and Josh Downs,

158
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: paying Michael Pittman as well as we welcome in our

159
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks to the conversation. I certainly get it Bucky

160
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: in terms of Anthony Richardson needs a breath. Whatever the

161
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: physical and emotional toll of everything was on him, he

162
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: obviously wasn't performing at a level they felt like they

163
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: get sustained on the field. But also it seems like

164
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: the Colts going, hey, we need to show off all

165
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: this other stuff that we've built here, because right now

166
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: this is just not a functional offense. You've had twenty

167
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: four hours to marinate on a decision that has all

168
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: kinds of long term effects.

169
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: What do you think hockey?

170
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: Okay, Tom So, this is something that I talked about

171
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: last week in the notebook, talked about Anthony Ridgson needing

172
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: to go to the bench, not necessarily to punish him,

173
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 5: but a reset for him and to save Shane Stikeen's

174
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: reputation within the locker room. Credibility is everything when it

175
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 5: comes to the head coach being able to stand in

176
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 5: front of the team and talk about this is a meritocracy.

177
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 5: We're going to play the best players. When the team

178
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 5: can look at the tape and see that Anthony Rigison

179
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: is delivering sub par performance. You have to at some

180
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 5: point make a change and put Joe Flacco in the game.

181
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 5: You have to put him in the game because we

182
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 5: talk about winning is the most.

183
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 7: Important thing right now.

184
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 5: We want to do everything in our power to put

185
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: our team in a possessed position to win. With Anthony Richardson,

186
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 5: it was clear Joe Flacco is a better player of

187
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 5: the position right now. What you hope to do is

188
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 5: take him, put him on the sideline, allow him to

189
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 5: develop as he's running the scout team, as he's playing

190
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 5: the role of the QB two backing up Joe Flacco,

191
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 5: and you hope that when he's given another opportunity, he's

192
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: better prepared to handle the responsibilities that co would be

193
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 5: the franchise quarterback. But right now it's about winning. Joe

194
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 5: Flacco gives him the best chance to win. You developed

195
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: Anthony Richison as a backstory, but the first story is

196
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco being the star.

197
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Bucky, don't move.

198
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: We're going to get your thoughts on a young quarterback

199
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: who's playing really well right now in just a little bit.

200
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: Bryce Young also got back on the field last week

201
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: in Denver, and he played better Andy Dalton, who suffered

202
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: a spring thumb in a car accident last week, pushing

203
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: Young back into the lineup as actually a full participant

204
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: in practice today. But Dave canallys says that it will

205
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: be Bryce Young once again as a starting quarterback this

206
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Sunday against a Saints team that's really made life miserable

207
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: when they've seen Bryce Young so far in his young career.

208
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: As welcome Ian Rapport and Judy Batista back into the conversation.

209
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: I was struck ian in talking to people around the

210
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: league who watched that star for Bryce Young last week.

211
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: And yes, he has one bad interception in that game.

212
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: It's still a young quarterback who's growing, but he looked better.

213
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: There were throws that he made in that game. There

214
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: were reads with.

215
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: Pressure on him that people were really impressed by. In

216
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: terms of getting this opportunity after several weeks running the

217
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: scout team here, the question now becomes is this just

218
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: one more week while Andy Dalton's continuing to heal, or

219
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: is this now Bryce Young back and based on what

220
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: he showed, does he get the rest of this season?

221
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: The show maybe that he's still the guy for Carolina

222
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five.

223
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 9: Well, at the very least, Bryce Young has the opportunity

224
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 9: to become the starting quarterback again. And you know I

225
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 9: talked earlier in the show about the contrast between the

226
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 9: Panthers and the Colts. As soon as the Carolina Panthers

227
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 9: benched Bryce Young, the word was, hang on, just hang on,

228
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 9: We're not giving up on him.

229
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 10: He'll be back. So basically they took a month or

230
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 10: maybe a little bit more off. You let everything slow down,

231
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 10: he learns.

232
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 9: I think he did really well on the scout team,

233
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 9: which I know isn't very much, but at least he

234
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 9: took it extremely.

235
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 10: Serious, worked hard, just waiting for his opportunity. It came

236
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 10: in a weird way.

237
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 9: Came with Andy Dalton getting into a car accident and

238
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 9: spraining his thumb, which I don't think anybody could have foreseen.

239
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 9: But when he was out there, it did feel like

240
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 9: he had a better understanding, made some good decisive throws

241
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 9: on the money, and it felt like could slowed down

242
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 9: for him.

243
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 10: The answer to your.

244
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 9: Question is Bryce Young has given himself the opportunity to

245
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 9: play well enough to be a starter, which considering everything

246
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 9: that he has been through, that is extremely positive.

247
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: All right.

248
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: We had another quarterback change in Cleveland last week, another

249
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: one that was forced by circumstance. Deshaun Watson out for

250
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: the season. Dorian Thompson Robinson, who'd been the number two

251
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: and elevated, ends up suffering a finger injury in that game.

252
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: So was Jamis Winston, who goes from number three on

253
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: the depth chart to AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

254
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: Quite the turnaround for Jamis instant and a Browns team

255
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: that they made a run last year. This one would

256
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: this would take some heavy lifting, but not completely out

257
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: of it just yet. The Giants technically not out of

258
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: it just yet either, though it certainly feels like the

259
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: margin of error is razor thin right now for Daniel

260
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Jones and company. Brian Abel says, though Jones remains the starter,

261
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: why is that.

262
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 7: He's usually pretty level headed.

263
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 13: Look at the things that he did well, which was

264
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 13: certainly part of him, go through some of the things

265
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 13: that we can fix.

266
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 7: And then move on to to the next week. That's

267
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 7: what you need to do.

268
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: Watch every player and.

269
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 13: Coach feels that way. Everybody tries to perform as good

270
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 13: as they can.

271
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: They put everything different.

272
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 7: No, he's pretty's consistent.

273
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 13: You know he's he comes in, he spends a lot

274
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 13: of time here, does everything he can to take care

275
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 13: of his body, spends a ton of time with the film,

276
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 13: spends extra time with the linemen, the backs, the receivers,

277
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 13: comes out here, practices the right way, sor as good

278
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 13: as he can be.

279
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Judy, this is not in the Anthony richardson Bryce Young category.

280
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: We have a lot of tape on Daniel Jones. There

281
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: is a long track record here. The Giants are committed

282
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: to him through the end of this season contractually, but

283
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: you've watched him, you know that organization.

284
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: How does this all end?

285
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 11: Well, I suspect it will eventually end with Daniel Jones

286
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 11: no longer being the quarterback for the New York Giants,

287
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 11: But I think we're still a ways away from that,

288
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 11: and I think it's a conversation for another day, maybe

289
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 11: tomorrow actually on the insiders about when they might have

290
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 11: to finally make a decision about getting them off the

291
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 11: field and what might prompt that decision. But for right now,

292
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 11: I think they still believe he does give them the

293
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 11: best chance to win. And actually in this week in particular,

294
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 11: coming up against the Commanders, you would be reluctant to

295
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 11: make a change because in Week two they lost to

296
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 11: the Commanders by three points. That was the game, you remember,

297
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 11: if they had a healthy kicker, almost certainly win that game.

298
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 11: That was the game that Graham Gano got hurt on

299
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 11: the opening kickoff. They had no healthy kicker. They tried

300
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 11: one extra point with a punter, he hooked it. They

301
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 11: never tried another extra point, They tried to two point conversions,

302
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 11: They had to go for it on fourth down twice. Again,

303
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 11: they lost the game by three points. Daniel Jones played

304
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 11: pretty well in that two touchdown passes, no interceptions, The

305
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 11: defense held the Commanders to seven field goals. So I

306
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 11: think if they think they can get all of those

307
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 11: factors again, plus have a kicker who could like kick

308
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 11: a twenty two yard field goal or something, they had

309
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 11: to go for it on fourth down from like the

310
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 11: Commander's twenty two yard line.

311
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 12: I mean, that's how desperate it was.

312
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 11: I think if they think they could get a repeat

313
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 11: performance of all the other things with a healthy kicker,

314
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 11: they can win this game. So they certainly would be

315
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 11: reluctant to make a switch at quarterback right now, and

316
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 11: I suspect they probably will wait a little bit longer

317
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 11: until it feels like the season is totally out of reach.

318
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: They're not the only team that's had a kicker cost

319
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: him some games this season, not even the only kicker

320
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: who plays in that same stadium. But that's the story

321
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: for a little bit later on in the show. Green

322
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: Bay Packers they've had a bunch of different kickers as well.

323
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: But let's talk about their quarterbacks right now, because Jordan

324
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: Love did not practice today dealing.

325
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: With that growing injury.

326
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: As I and Ean have both reported, it's not anything

327
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: significant had an MRI. There's optimism that he's going to

328
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: be back sooner than later. Here, just have to see

329
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: how the treatment goes through the course of the week.

330
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: If it's not Love for a huge game Sunday against

331
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: the Lions, it would be Malik Willis, who's risen to

332
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: the occasion in the past when he's gotten his opportunity. Also,

333
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: don't have full clarity on the status of Patriots rookie

334
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: quarterback Drake May who remains in the concussion protocol. A

335
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: good sign though that he's progressing limited in practice today.

336
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: Usually if you're limited.

337
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: On a Wednesday coming off a concussion, that gives you

338
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: the opportunity to continue to progress and be cleared for

339
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: Sunday's game.

340
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: That is going to be one to monitor. In New England.

341
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was not on the field in practice. Ravens

342
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: coach John Harbaugh called it a rest day for Lamar.

343
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: The injury report told a slightly different story. He's listed

344
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: as he did not participate with back and knee issues.

345
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: No reason at this point to believe that that is

346
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: something significant for Lamar Jackson, though certainly with his play style,

347
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on through.

348
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: The course of the week.

349
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: We did see Deontay Johnson out there in a Raven's

350
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: uniform for the first time.

351
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: He can move.

352
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Nobody questions the talent on Deyontay Johnson. We'll see if

353
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: they can get him enough balls in Baltimore to keep

354
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: him happy.

355
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: But one more weapon for Lamar as the Ravens season

356
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: moves on.

357
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert got a pretty fun weapon back in the

358
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. It was that guy Lad mcconky slipped into

359
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: the second round and he celebrated that this past week.

360
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: I haven't a couple of touchdowns on the New Orleans Saints.

361
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: Let's ask Lad how things are going right now in

362
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,120

379
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,760

380
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: you're coming off a monster game. Your your head coach

381
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: is comparing you to Steve Smith, how's life out there.

382
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: For you and Elseagundo? Right now, it's been good.

383
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 16: Uh. It's a little different from from Georgia, but I

384
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 16: feel like I'm justin Will.

385
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 4: You know.

386
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 16: All the guys are great, coaches are great. So it's

387
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 16: been good.

388
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 11: Well, let's let's ask about the transition then. Obviously you

389
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 11: played big time, big time college football, you had your

390
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 11: breakout with the Chargers this weekend.

391
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 12: How has the transition been so far?

392
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 16: Well, that's been good for the most part. I mean,

393
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 16: you know there's ups and downs that come with it, obviously, Uh,

394
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 16: but you know, I feel like I've had good guys

395
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 16: around me that you're not can ask anything to. They'll

396
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 16: shoot me straight. So in that aspect has been good.

397
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: So you're playing with a quarterback in Justin Herbert, who

398
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: has been on it feels like a different system, different

399
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: coordinator every year. We know that guy's extremely talented, you

400
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: work with them on.

401
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: A daily basis.

402
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: How is that chemistry and that connection coming together?

403
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean first day when I saw him, I

404
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 16: was like, Okay, this guy can make in every throw.

405
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 16: So just trt to be in the rat spot for

406
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 16: him and he'll find me. So I feel like we've

407
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 16: gotten you know, better and better as the weeks have

408
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 16: gone on. So you know, looking forward to you know,

409
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 16: continuing that and keeping up you know, the success throughout

410
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 16: the brother the rest of the year.

411
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 11: All Right, you had the big game against the Saints,

412
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 11: two touchdowns, six receptions plus that really big explosive play

413
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 11: there that we just showed everybody what has clicked for you,

414
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 11: what happened in that game that you felt like everything

415
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 11: was working.

416
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 16: You know, I think it's all about like executing, like

417
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 16: they're gonna call the plays, they're gonna GETU some position,

418
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 16: Like it's just going making a play. Like we have

419
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 16: a lot of jobs where you know, we have fifteen sixteen,

420
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 16: but I mean sometimes you need the one or two

421
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 16: play jobs, you need some explosives. So I feel like,

422
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 16: you know, it kind of all came together this game

423
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 16: and you know, hopefully keep that going forward.

424
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 14: Well.

425
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: When you were at the reesa senior ball I remember

426
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: talking with you on a call and we were going

427
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: through the offers that you had coming out of high school,

428
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: obviously Georgia, but the others and correct me if I

429
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: had any of these wrong. Ut Chattanooga Kennesaw State Mercer

430
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville State. You gave me a guess. I would

431
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: have said three of those schools don't even play football.

432
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: What did everybody miss about seventeen eighteen year old lad

433
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: mccauckey that obviously Georgia saw.

434
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 16: Uh, you know, I was a smaller guy. I could

435
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 16: run fast.

436
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: I was small.

437
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 16: I played you know, basketball and other sports all year round,

438
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 16: so I can never put the weight on it's probably

439
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 16: you know, bucks sixty bucks sixty five, so can wet Uh.

440
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 16: So people overlook me in that aspect, but you know

441
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 16: they gave me a shot. You know, I'll believe in myself,

442
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 16: better myself, and I feel like, you know, it worked out.

443
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 11: I actually want to go even further back. Like you

444
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 11: played like every position in football in high school. At

445
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 11: what point did you realize wide receiver was probably going

446
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 11: to be the best path for you to go?

447
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 17: Uh?

448
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 16: You know, I played quarterback my senior year and growing up,

449
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 16: but my arm is not the strongest. Uh you know,

450
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 16: I was there kind of scrambling around. I could make

451
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 16: the thrower and I needed to, but I kind of knew,

452
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 16: you know, receiver was going to be the position for me.

453
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,239
Speaker 16: So uh, you know I would go to camps as

454
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 16: receiver and then I'll come back and play high school quarterback.

455
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 16: But I knew kind of all along. I was like, Okay,

456
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 16: this will probably be the you know, the best position

457
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 16: for me.

458
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: So back in college, you were used to, you know,

459
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: going after and trying to make the likes of Jim

460
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: Harbaugh miserable. Now that you're around that guy on a

461
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: daily basis, he's your head coach, Just just tell us

462
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: what the Jim Harbaugh experience is like.

463
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 7: It's it's been great.

464
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 16: I wish you know, people come sit in our team

465
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 16: meetings and you know, see what he's all about. Uh,

466
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 16: you know, he can he can have fun at times,

467
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 16: but when it's time to go with you know, he's

468
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 16: ready ultimate competitor. But you know he makes it fun

469
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 16: every day and I feel like that's that's a key

470
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 16: part of it.

471
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 11: He compared you to Steve Smith Senior, pretty high praise.

472
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 11: I wonder what you think your game is like compared

473
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 11: to Steve Smith senior, and maybe what player you think

474
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 11: you are most like.

475
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 16: I mean, I don't know. I'll let you know. Coach

476
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 16: Harball said that, but I don't know how much we

477
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 16: have in common. You know, he's a great receiver obviously,

478
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 16: you know, he did a lot of great things. Here,

479
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 16: I'm you know, trying to get there. So I'm not

480
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 16: gonna make any you know, comparisons, but try to go

481
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 16: out and you know, just be myself. You know, take

482
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 16: little things from different guys, but it's not a specific

483
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 16: guy that I would say, you know, I really try

484
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 16: to focus on.

485
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: Well, here's the other thing with Steve Smith Senior is

486
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: our colleague at NFL Media. Steve is he's a very

487
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: very funny guy when he wants to be. He's a

488
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: very smart guy. He is also very intense. You would

489
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: know the three minutes talking to see Smith Senior, You're like,

490
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: this guy is wired for football. You come across as

491
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: the nicest, most unassuming, humble guy on earth. Where does

492
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: the killer that we see on game day come from?

493
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 4: Uh?

494
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 16: You know, I feel like you get on the field,

495
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 16: you've got to be different, Like you know, you have

496
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 16: to flip the switch and you know, get into that mode.

497
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 16: So you know, I feel like I am you know,

498
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 16: nas and you can talk to anybody and you know,

499
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 16: laugh with everybody. But when it's time to go, it's

500
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 16: time to go.

501
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 12: All right.

502
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 11: The Chargers are actually well in the playoff mix right now,

503
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 11: halfway through the season, I think you would be the

504
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 11: seventh seed. Right now, you've got a bunch of AFC

505
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 11: opponents coming up in a row, starting with the Browns,

506
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 11: who just pulled off a stunner last week. How do

507
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 11: you approach the stretch with all of a sudden the

508
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 11: playoffs are on your plate?

509
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, just take it one week at a time,

510
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 16: like we want to win this week, win the next week,

511
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 16: but not to get to ahead of ourselves. You know,

512
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 16: focus on the task of hand. You know, Browns are

513
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 16: a really good football team. They got a really good defense,

514
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 16: so we're super excited for that battle. But you know,

515
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 16: to take it one week at a time. It's like,

516
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 16: let's win this one reset, win the next one reset,

517
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 16: and just go about it like that.

518
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: The nicest interview we've ever had on NFL Network, but

519
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: also a guy you don't want to assume is nice

520
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: when he gets onto the field. Lad, thanks a ton

521
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: for coming on the show man, Best luck the rest

522
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: of the way here.

523
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 17: You guys came out to play. You came out to play, man.

524
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 17: That's a huge win. That's what we're supposed to do.

525
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 17: That's what champions do. You don't care what time of

526
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 17: year it is, what the record is, what the weather is,

527
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 17: It doesn't matter. You just show up and do what

528
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 17: you do, all right, So five part returns for one

529
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 17: hundred and ninety yards. Whoa nineteen yards shive of the

530
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 17: record today, NFL record it putt returns in a freaking

531
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 17: out down thirty eight yard average, all right, nine yard touchdown,

532
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 17: two catches fourteen yards, one touchdown. The freaking iron man

533
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 17: does everything you ask. The greatest teammate works his ass

534
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 17: off to leaf grams, wreak.

535
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 7: Get out of here, baby, He'll love man.

536
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 5: Let's go back to working this so you baby family

537
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 5: on three once or three were.

538
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 9: Going, I think before every one of the segments, I mean,

539
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 9: actually get a Dan Campbell.

540
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 10: Locker room speech.

541
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 9: He is always so impressed with the performance his team

542
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 9: put on the field, even though he just saw it,

543
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 9: and by the way, also impressed with the division that

544
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 9: he is in Lions, Packers, Viking Bears, all good, all

545
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 9: over five hundred. If only there was a way to

546
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 9: figure out who's the best.

547
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 10: Maybe they should play each other.

548
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 9: Speaking of that, very pleased to welcome in Stacy Dales

549
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 9: who is actually going to see Lions Packers this week,

550
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 9: and Bucky Brooks who saw Packers last week, which is

551
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 9: just so perfect for TV Stacy. Let's talk about this

552
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 9: Lion's offense. Obviously, Jared Dopp did not practice today, seems

553
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 9: to be fine, just rolled his ankle, assuming he is

554
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 9: going to be out there on Sunday. What are the

555
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 9: biggest takeaways we have in this Lions offense that has

556
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 9: just been so explosive this year.

557
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 18: Well, you just said it, Ian, Hello, Bucky explosive. They

558
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 18: are scoring points at an astronomical rate. And by the way,

559
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 18: Khalif Raymond is a part of that offense. We saw

560
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 18: him on special teams basically annihilate the Tennessee Titans. I

561
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 18: was at that game on Sunday, as you alluded to, Ian,

562
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 18: which is why he's the NFC Special Teams Player of

563
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 18: the Week, mister Raymond. But this offense, guys, in the

564
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 18: last four games, it is astonishingly averaging forty three points

565
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 18: per game. They have skyrocketed to the number one scoring

566
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 18: offense in the National Football League. I think they may

567
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 18: have leaped frog the Ravens if I'm not mistaken. But

568
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 18: they're averaging thirty three points a game. This would stand

569
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 18: if they stay on pace. As we watch this footage

570
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 18: in front of us, at how many different receivers touch it.

571
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 18: We just saw Samu La Porter, we see Jimior Gibbs

572
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 18: right here. I'm ross Saint Brown is involved in all

573
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 18: the action, Raymond. I mean, the list goes on. David Montgomery.

574
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 18: This would stand as a franchise record for these Lions.

575
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 18: And Ben Johnson and Jared Goff, you guys, they are

576
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 18: the model. Right when I have conversations around the league,

577
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 18: everybody is looking at the model that the Detroit Lions

578
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 18: have built with the head coach Dan Campbell and Brad

579
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 18: Holmes general manager. And that's what they want all these

580
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 18: teams in the rebuild mode, given how the defense is

581
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 18: playing right, how they're surging despite the loss of Aiden Hutchinson,

582
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 18: the way special teams is playing with coach Fipp, and

583
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 18: then this offense and how prolific Jared Goff knows, the

584
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 18: idiosyncrasies bucky of his teammates and his receivers and skill players,

585
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 18: and it's kind of what everybody's peaking at saying, let's

586
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 18: go get that as we rebuild in the NFL, for

587
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 18: those teams that are.

588
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 7: You know, Stacy.

589
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 5: That's interesting because Dan Campbell is a head coach that

590
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 5: wasn't a play caller before he has sent into the

591
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 5: head coaching, wasn't an offensive coordinator, wasn't a quarterback guru.

592
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 5: But yet he's built this superpower team that can win

593
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 5: on offense, defense, and special teams.

594
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 7: To me, the thing that stands out when I look

595
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 7: at the Lions.

596
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 5: Are they are a rare team that can win with

597
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 5: force or finesse, meaning they can beat you up at

598
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage with the offense and defensive.

599
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 7: Lines, or they can run around you and do all the.

600
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 5: Fun stuff that we love to see in terms of

601
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 5: entertaining football. And because of that, this is must see

602
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 5: TV whenever the Lions are on. And so I hear

603
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 5: you when you talk about owners and other people that

604
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 5: are in the hiring business wanting to replicate what the

605
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 5: Lions have done.

606
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 7: The Lions have been old school team with a new

607
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 7: school feel.

608
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 5: Absolutely love it because they're unique in the way they

609
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 5: go about doing their business.

610
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 9: Absolutely right, and that's one reason why every week there

611
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 9: basically my CTV is really going to be watching this

612
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 9: week as well.

613
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 10: Bucky. You saw the Packers last week.

614
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 9: Now we do not know if Jordan Love is going

615
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 9: to be out there dealing with that growing strength. He

616
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 9: called it realistic to see the amount there will see.

617
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 9: What did you think of this Packers' offense or what

618
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 9: are we going to see on Sunday?

619
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 5: First of all, let me look tip of the captain

620
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 5: man the floor and the job that he is done

621
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 5: with Malik Willis as a quarterback. Willis that took the

622
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 5: field in front of me with nothing like the Malie

623
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 5: Willis that.

624
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 7: I saw for the Tennessee Titans. To me, that is

625
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 7: coaching and development.

626
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 5: What the Green Bay Packers have been able to do

627
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 5: is build an offense that is adaptable to whoever the

628
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 5: quarterback is on the field. When Malik Willis is on

629
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 5: the field, look at more boots and play action, some

630
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 5: RPOs and those.

631
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 7: Things that fit his skill set.

632
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 5: But because they've assembled a great cast of playmakers around him,

633
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 5: they can do a lot.

634
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 7: And much like I raved about the.

635
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 5: Detroit Lions being able to win with force and finesse,

636
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 5: the same things are present in the Green Bay Packers' offense.

637
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 5: Talented offensive line, skill, payer school lore. You got a

638
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 5: proven Rusher and Josh Jacobs. That makes life easy for

639
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 5: the quarterbacks. This is going to be a fascinating matchup

640
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 5: to watch because both these teams are well constructed.

641
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 18: They are well constructed, and one of the reconstructions, if

642
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 18: you will, Bucky for these Packers has been their defense

643
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 18: and Ian as we have witnessed with Jeff Hafley the

644
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 18: defensive coordinator right in terms of that, they are leading

645
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 18: the National Football League right.

646
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 12: Now in takeaways. They've got nineteen.

647
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 18: They had eighteen all of last season, if my numbers

648
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 18: stand correct in my mind. And so when you talk

649
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 18: about the Packers offense, and again to touch upon what

650
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 18: Ian alluded to, Matt Lafleur essentially saying today they're going

651
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 18: to take the entire week to evaluate their quarterback Jordan Love.

652
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 18: But they have great faith in Malik Willis. They have

653
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 18: great faith in their defense. And I got to tell you, guys,

654
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 18: I was on the phone with Preston Smith today.

655
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 12: They are pumped about this game. Don't forget.

656
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 18: The Detroit Lions have marched into Green Bay on their

657
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 18: last two occasions and defeated the Green Bay Packers. And

658
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 18: they have both been important games. They have both been

659
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 18: games with implications, and I certainly can tell you they're

660
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 18: going to be pumped for this afternoon. Roughly three point

661
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 18: thirty kick with the team that leads the NFI takeaways.

662
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 18: And when I spoke with Preston Smith and he talked

663
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 18: about this offense, he named off all the playmakers right.

664
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 18: He talked about the two backs, he called them a

665
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 18: bit basically a monster of a backfield with Jamier Gibbs

666
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 18: and David Montgomery. He talked about some of the guys

667
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 18: on the outside, and then Jared Goff they cannot afford,

668
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 18: he said, to let him get comfortable in this game

669
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 18: because the decision making, the timing and the rhythm is

670
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 18: just too good with Detroit's offense right now. But I

671
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 18: think they're going to be up for the challenge right again.

672
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 18: The Detroit Lions, you guys in the last four games

673
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 18: averaging forty three points per game, So the Packers will

674
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 18: have their hands full.

675
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 10: But Lambeau will be bumping on Sunday man.

676
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 9: I have a feeling they'll remember those last two meetings,

677
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 9: the last two visits from the Lions as well. A

678
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 9: choice of Jeff Affley's defensive coordinator was proving to be

679
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 9: an inspired one for Shore in Green Bay. Bucky Stacy,

680
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 9: thank you very much. We will talk to you very soon.

681
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 10: Judy, take it away.

682
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 11: It's been a rough few weeks for the Dallas Cowboys

683
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 11: on and off the field. On the fields, the defense

684
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 11: in particular struggling. You see Rock Perdy is just the

685
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 11: latest to light them up, but really that defense.

686
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 12: We know they have some injuries, but.

687
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 11: They have really struggled to stop anybody.

688
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 12: They're going through it.

689
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 11: Right now, Let's bring in Jane Slater to talk about

690
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 11: the Dallas Cowboys. She knows that team better than anybody.

691
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 11: And Jane, there's been so much odd stuff going on.

692
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 11: Tell us what's going on today there.

693
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 19: Well, look, I think when things aren't going right, those

694
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 19: frustrations can spill over, Judy, namely the fact that they've

695
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 19: got a lot of injuries on the defensive side of

696
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 19: the ball, most of them being starters, and so naturally

697
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 19: your eyeballs as a fan and people in the media,

698
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 19: they zero in on the veteran who does have the

699
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 19: big contract, and that's Trayvon Diggs. You know, in twenty

700
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 19: twenty two he led the league in receptions and interceptions.

701
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 12: Rather, he had twenty two.

702
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 19: This year, they've been hard to come by. Just one

703
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 19: and if the effort on the play at times when

704
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 19: you look at the tape has also been called into question.

705
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 19: And a local news reporter, Mike Leslie, did just that.

706
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 19: And then there was this an exchange on Sunday before

707
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 19: Diggs even removed his football pads.

708
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 7: Took from that, and I hope played after you took

709
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 7: from that. You don't know football.

710
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: You can't do none that I do. You can't go

711
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: out there and do nothing.

712
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 17: You're money.

713
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 16: That's not crying, you know, just asking the question, Trayvon.

714
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm happy to have you answer the question.

715
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 12: Question.

716
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 7: That's that said, you dalking out that whole played, that's

717
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 7: if you got out.

718
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 10: I'm asking how we can talk about it more than what.

719
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 7: I talk about.

720
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: What were you doing there?

721
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 12: All right? So that was Sunday today.

722
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 19: To Trayvon Digg's credit, Ke made a point of apologizing

723
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 19: to that Channel eight reporter.

724
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 12: Here's how it went.

725
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 4: You know, I shouldn't reacted how I reacted, you know,

726
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 4: so and ipodsized for that.

727
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 7: But you know most of are high. He just caught

728
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 7: me at the right time, I guess.

729
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 19: And that right there a masterclass in owning your part. Leslie,

730
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 19: by the way, apologize to you see him there. We

731
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 19: all had a nice little laugh and there was that

732
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 19: clever presentation of I'll just say it this.

733
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 12: Way, these peanuts.

734
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 10: This was the play in question.

735
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 19: While Leslie questioned the efforts, Diggs explained the that he

736
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 19: actually did push Kittle out of bounds at the Dallas

737
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 19: four and after that was a forty three yard game,

738
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 19: rather to prevent him from scoring, which he ended up

739
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 19: doing on the next play. But as Diggs explained it, yes,

740
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 19: tackling is not.

741
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 12: His strong suit.

742
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 19: He's more of the ballhawk, but it's not like he

743
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 19: avoids the tackle. He was doing exactly what he.

744
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 12: Was supposed to do there.

745
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 19: It also opened up a more nuanced discussion about this defense,

746
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 19: known for again Diggs's ballhawking skills. But it's new DC

747
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 19: Mike Zimmer's defense that's different from dan Quinn's. And this

748
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 19: was something interesting and something I don't think any of

749
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 19: us have really drilled down this year.

750
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 2: He said.

751
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 19: It takes your vision away. It requires you to say

752
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 19: on your keys, play fast, and there's far less man coverage.

753
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 19: In fact, through eight weeks last year, next gin Stat

754
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 19: showed they played a little over forty seven percent of

755
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 19: it compared to thirty one percent through the same period

756
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 19: this season. Now, to be very clear, because I know

757
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 19: how things get twisted in Dallas, Diggs was not criticizing

758
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 19: Mike Zimmer's defense. He just said that requires a lot

759
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 19: more effort. There's a lot more plays and there just

760
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 19: needs to be a buy in from these guys. And honestly,

761
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 19: it certainly doesn't help that they've got so many young

762
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 19: guys playing. But here's the good news, and Jerry Jones

763
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 19: is emphasized it this week. Steven Jones and a lot

764
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 19: of the guys in the locker room reinforcements are coming back,

765
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 19: namely Dearon Bland, who plays opposite Trayvon Diggs. He was

766
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 19: just pulled back up to the roster. He was on IR,

767
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 19: he was with the rehab career. Micah Parsons also over

768
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 19: there working with the rehab group. So we'll see if

769
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 19: they can go against Atlanta. Remember, Atlanta's got a number

770
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 19: of tools. We'll get into that tomorrow. But I just

771
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 19: really wanted to point out that I think we go

772
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 19: so far, sometimes particular social media juty of tearing these

773
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 19: type of young men down guys that are passionate about

774
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 19: the way that they play. Credit to him for using

775
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 19: the word that is both healing and powerful, Judy, sorry,

776
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 19: and credit to Mike Leslie for also doing it as well.

777
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 19: But more importantly, I think what it did highlight is

778
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 19: this defense is very much still a work in progress,

779
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 19: very much so.

780
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 12: But good job by Trevon Diggs.

781
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 11: That was really well handled by him and by everyone

782
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 11: there in Dallas. Janslater, thank you very much. We're going

783
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 11: to talk about a rookie quarterback who is not Jayden Daniels,

784
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 11: not Caleb Williams, not Drake may It is a really

785
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 11: really successful rookie quarterback in Denver, Bonix.

786
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: Bo Knicks was.

787
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: The sixth of the six first round quarterbacks drafted this year,

788
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: but the numbers don't reflected. How about that leads all

789
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: rookies in total touchdowns. Yes, that includes Killa Williams, that

790
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: includes Jane Daniels.

791
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 2: He's doing it with his arm, with his legs.

792
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: As Welcoming back to the Insiders, Tom Pellisaro joined once

793
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: again by Bucky Brooks. Bucky Boneck started like sixty one

794
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: games in college. We knew that the knowledge base of

795
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: football was there, but what's working with him in Sean

796
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: Payton's scheme.

797
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 5: You know, Tom, I think is important that you acknowledge

798
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 5: he has sixty plus starts in college and it's something

799
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 5: that we're seeing guys that play more in college that

800
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 5: having instant success. Think about the success that Jaydon Daniels

801
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 5: is having in watching something to watch when we get

802
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 5: to the draft. But with bow Knicks, it's the perfect

803
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 5: fit in terms of head coach, play caller and quarterback,

804
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 5: and his skill sets match the way that Sean Payton

805
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 5: wants to play. Sean Payton certainly wants to put the

806
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 5: ball on the move, wants to set the quarterback up

807
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 5: to run a ball control offense that really sizes in

808
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 5: those throws thrown between the twenty yard box, intermediate throws,

809
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 5: get the ball out of your hands, operate at a

810
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 5: high efficiency. Clip not saying that bow Knicks is Drew Brees,

811
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 5: but it can play Drew Brees like in terms of

812
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 5: the efficiency is working because the moroncos can run the football,

813
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 5: they get a good defense. He can manage the game,

814
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 5: but also give him the playmaking ability to me perfect

815
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 5: quarterback for the perfect play call.

816
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 7: To coach that type of quarterback.

817
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: Drew Brees wishes he could run like bow Knicks has

818
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: been running through the early portion of the season. Here, Bucky,

819
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: thank you very much, look forward with chatting to look

820
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: forward to chatting with you again very soon.

821
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 4: Bo.

822
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: Next, also sneaky fantasy pick. Let's talk about some fantasy

823
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: sits and starts. Right after this, Michael left Florio has

824
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: the goods on the Insiders. Time out to go inside

825
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: with NFL Fantasy Live. Tom Pilicero Ian rap four back

826
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: on the Insiders, joined by our buddy Michael left Florio.

827
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: All right, it's Wednesday, that means since and starts for

828
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: Week nine.

829
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: Start off with the quarterbacks.

830
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 20: Michael, Yeah, I think you could start bo Nicks in

831
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 20: this one. Not only is he coming off of a

832
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 20: season high two hundred and eighty four passing yards and

833
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 20: three touchdowns, but he runs four rushing touchdowns five games

834
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 20: of twenty five plus rushing yards. That's a three hundred

835
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 20: yards of passing right there in fantasy. And then the

836
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 20: Ravens have allowed the most passing yards and touchdowns two

837
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 20: quarterbacks this season. But I think you could sit to

838
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 20: a tongue of I loa just one hundred and forty

839
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 20: five yards and a touchdown and three interceptions before getting

840
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 20: hurt in Week two against the Bills. Eight games against them,

841
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 20: he has thrown multiple passing touchdowns in his career just once,

842
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 20: and he has seven touchdowns to ten interceptions in those

843
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 20: games and only twice as he topped two hundred and

844
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 20: forty passing yards. So in this one, I think you

845
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 20: could go and get two out of your lineup.

846
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 10: All right, that's noted. What about the running back round?

847
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 10: We need a little help there. What he got?

848
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 20: I think start James Connor. I know on paper it

849
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 20: looks like a tough matchup against the Bears, and they

850
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 20: are a very good defense, but they all out four

851
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 20: point seven yards per carry to running backs and they've

852
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 20: allowed explosive runs at an above average rate. Connor was

853
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 20: top two in the NFL and explosive runs last year,

854
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 20: and he sees so much volume that despite the matchup,

855
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 20: I think you got to start him. Cannot say the

856
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 20: same thing for Javonte Williams, who I thought was starting

857
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 20: to look like a good play him in good matchups

858
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 20: and then he flopped in the best matchup a running

859
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 20: back could have last week. Now he gets the Ravens,

860
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 20: who will allowed these second fewest rushing yards and just

861
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 20: three point two yards per carry.

862
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 7: The floor is low.

863
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 20: We've only seen a couple of big fantasy games out

864
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 20: of him this year, so because of the matchup, I

865
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 20: think you could pull Javonte Williams from your Week nine lineups.

866
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: So when I text Florio on Sunday this week and

867
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: ask him, should I play Javonte Williams, Apparently, unlike last week,

868
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: the answer will be no. Tell me about wide receivers,

869
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: sits and starts, Florio.

870
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 12: I'm starting Cedric Tillman this week.

871
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 20: In his last two games, twenty one targets, fifteen catches,

872
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 20: one hundred and eighty yards, and two touchdowns, and then

873
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 20: that two week span top two in the NFL in

874
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 20: targets and air yards, showing that he has firmly taken

875
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 20: over the Amari Cooper role. He has been their leading

876
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 20: guy the last two weeks against zone coverage, which is

877
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 20: big because the eighty percent of the time the Chargers

878
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 20: play zone. I think you could sit the newest raven

879
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 20: though this week, in Deontay Johnson. Look, the team traded

880
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 20: for him just yesterday, so he only gets a few

881
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 20: days to.

882
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 12: Get ready for their game.

883
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 20: We saw this happen with the Maari Cooper and DeAndre Hopkins,

884
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 20: and both only played about a third.

885
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 12: Of the snaps in their first game with their new team.

886
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 20: We're hearing that maybe the other two in Jay Flowers

887
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 20: and Rashad Bateman, are going to remain heavily involved.

888
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 7: And then the Broncos have just shut down.

889
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 20: Wide receivers all year, and you might have heard Patrick's

890
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 20: are ten pretty good, So I would avoid Deontay in this.

891
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 2: Florida.

892
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, NFL dot com slash start sit

893
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: for even more from Michael f.

894
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 4: Dis
