1
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: It's only Week two and injuries are already impacting teams

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: across the NFL.

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 2: Before you set your fantasy.

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: Lineups, we will tell you the latest, including whether Zafer

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Worthy could be back of the Chiefs lineup on Sunday.

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: The Packers are the first team to get to to

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: a zero, and it sure fell last night like something

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: bigger might be brewing. Does the road to Super Bowl

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: sixty now go through Green Bay? We will discuss Michael

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: Parson's role in trying to bring the Lombardi home.

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: We're also celebrating week two.

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: With two great guests tonight, Bucks rookie sensation of Mecca

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Ambuca Rams defensive linemen Braden Fisk. They both joined the

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: show to talk about their opening week heroics and.

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: What lies ahead.

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafola.

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: I am Tom Pelisero.

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: We are right now about forty two hours away from

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: Week two kicking off in bulk across the NFL.

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: On Sunday, we.

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: Will dive into that game everything that we saw on

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: the field last night from the Packers and the Commanders.

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: But first let's take a look at hag because We've

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: got a lot of injury news around the NFL. Let's

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: start out in Kansas City, where Cheez wide receiver Xavier

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: Worthy a limited participant in practice again today, officially listed

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: as doubtful to play on Sunday against the Eagles. Now,

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: the bad news here is doubtful usually means he's not

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: going to be out there this week. The good news

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: is Andy Reid says there's even a slim chance of

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: Worthy play, which means that shoulder injury on the friendly

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: fire from Travis Kelsey last week not expected to be

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: anything long term. If he's not back this week certainly

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: seems like a shorter term absence before Worthy is back.

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: Giants wide receiver Malik Neighbors also will be available on Sunday,

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: officially off the injury report and good to go against

37
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Been dealing with some tightness in his back.

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: This goes all the way back into training camp. Full

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: participant in practice today, he's off the report, so is

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, who landed on the injury report, both good

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: to go against Dallas Wandell Robinson questionable, Andrew Thomas doubtful

42
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: again to another challenge for Russell Wilson and that passing game.

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: The Falcons will have their wide receivers as well. Drake

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: Lendon and Darnel Mooney both off the injury report and

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: are expected to play on Sunday night against the Falcons.

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: For Mooney, that was an injury he suffered in the

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: early stages of training camp, making his season debut. Now

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: this week, Drake Lendon came down hard on that shoulder.

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: There's some initial questions, but the test came back mostly clean.

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: A little limitation on his practice this week. Ian comes

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night.

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: He's going to be out there against the Vikings. Talk

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: about we're going to Buffalo.

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: You go because I got this game on Sunday. The

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: Bills the Jets Met Life Stadium. A lot of times

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: it's a close game, even when the Jets aren't great.

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: James Cook a full participant in practice with a hamstring injury.

58
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: He has taken off the injury report with regard to

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: game status, so he is good to go on Sunday

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: against the Jets. That is a great sign. Here's what's

61
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: not a great sign for the Buffalo Bills and Oliver,

62
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: who had a game that was like defensive Player of

63
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: the Year type stuff. The other night in Buffalo against

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens. He has been ruled out now. This

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: injury occurred during practice on Wednesday. He got stepped on.

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: He finished practice. It was late in the session when

67
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: it happened. He then got checked out. He was in

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: a walking boot and a scooter on Thursday in the

69
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: locker room. You never go from that to playing in

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: the next couple of days. So yes, that's what's gonna

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: happen with that Oliver. He will not play against the Jets.

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: I was at the Jets facility on Thursday. They had

73
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: no idea. I told him as they were coming off

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: the field and into the locker room, said, I don't

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: think you're gonna get at Oliver.

76
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: He's not playing in this game. So obviously a huge

77
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: relief for them.

78
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: But this is still a good Bills defense and we'll

79
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: see how that plays out.

80
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: Now.

81
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: Also on this a short turnaround the Thursday night football

82
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: with the Bills playing the Miami Dolphins. So looks like

83
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: at Oliver is gonna miss at least two games on

84
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: this one.

85
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, now, I will go all right, let's talk about

86
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 5: some of the injuries from last night and a great game,

87
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 5: two high powered teams with two significant injuries. We'll start

88
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 5: with Jaden Reid, the standout receiver for the Green Bay Packers,

89
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 5: seems to be their top target. Really looked like on

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: his way to doing that last night, except for that

91
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 5: happened right there, landed hard on his shoulder.

92
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: You could see him.

93
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 5: Grabs collar bone, headed right into the X ray room.

94
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 5: It is a fractured collar bone for Jaden Reid. My

95
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: understanding is he's gonna be out six to eight weeks.

96
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 5: Could have surgery early next week, likely on Tuesday, but

97
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 5: the Packers believe that he is going to be back

98
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: in early November. It's not good, but obviously it could

99
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 5: be worse. Another significant injury in this game. Other side,

100
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 5: the Commanders appear to have lost Austin Eckler, they're starting

101
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 5: running back for this season. The fear is a torn

102
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 5: achilles and if you watch the clip, that's it right there.

103
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 5: He goes down with a non contact injury. Immediately got

104
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: grabs forys kill. Everyone watching knew what it was. He

105
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 5: has not yet had the MRI has Austin Eckler, but

106
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 5: you know, there's really not a lot of rush.

107
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 6: That feels like everyone knows.

108
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 5: The results, just waiting on the firm and finals. So

109
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: Jacory krossky Merritt expected to be the starting running back.

110
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 5: You're gonna hear a lot of time about this rookie,

111
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: a seventh rounder, they call him Bill, a lot of upside,

112
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 5: but obviously losing a veteran like Austin Eckler hurts the Commanders.

113
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: This is a big game too in the NFC on

114
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: a Thursday night to kick off Week two across the NFL,

115
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: IS take a look at the game what actually occurred

116
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: on the field For the Washington Commanders, looking for their

117
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: first win at lambeau Field since nineteen eighty six, they

118
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: were a different team of a different name, and Jay

119
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Schrader at quarterback. Micha Parsons wasn't even born till nineteen

120
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: ninety nine. What does he know about this? Let's go

121
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: to the first quarter, go score third and nine. Jordan

122
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Love nowhere to throw, takes off running and look out,

123
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: Trey Amos, Oh my goodness, that's a first down. Love

124
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: six four two nineteen had a lot of quarterbacks win

125
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: angry runs. But Kyle Brandt, I think it's fair to

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: say you've already found your winner. Next play, first and

127
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: goal from the five. Love with the quick strike to

128
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs. It is a five yard touchdown. Love two

129
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: hundred fourteen yards passing in the first half, despite losing

130
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: Jayden Reid on the opening drive with that broken collarbone.

131
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons you might have heard a little bit about him.

132
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: He's now a member of the Green Bay Packers, and

133
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: even though he's still limited dealing with the back and

134
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: he is conditioning back, he is still impactful basically every

135
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: time he's out there getting to Jade and Daniels right

136
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: there working on the Commander's first round pick, Josh Connery Junior,

137
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: who gave up one and a half secks a his NFL

138
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: debut last week, Michael Parson's giving him.

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: Yet another welcome to the NFL type of moment.

140
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter now, Commander's down seventeen to three, Jade and

141
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: Daniels first and ten from the Green Bay twenty. A

142
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: little bit of chirping back and forth, jaydon to let

143
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: his arm do the talk in here. That is dak

144
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: Ertz making a nice cut up field going into the

145
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: end zone. Zach Hertz just keeps playing. Forty seven years

146
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: old at this point, into.

147
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: The end zone.

148
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: It's a one possession game, but ensuing Packers drive first

149
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: and goal from the eight. Love floated it to Tucker Craft. Well,

150
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: if you weren't really familiar with Tucker Craft's game, well

151
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: you got a nice taste of it last night. One

152
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four receiving hearts, most by a Packers

153
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: tight end since Richard Rodgers in twenty fifteen. Packers win

154
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: twenty seven eighteen and they are two and zero with

155
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Michaeh Parsons.

156
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 7: Game online is fourth down. That's what they brought me

157
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 7: here to go. You know, try tout in the game.

158
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 7: Good pressure on the quarterback. You know, I gotta win

159
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 7: those matchups. That's right. They got me here, That's why

160
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 7: they gave me what they did. And I just got

161
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 7: to keep showing what I'm capable of because I understand

162
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 7: the stakes, I understand the pressure, and I.

163
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 5: Just lived for What do you feel about the ramp

164
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 5: of the snap count last week, the snapcount tonight and

165
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 5: where you're headed in the future.

166
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 7: Man, I just hope I'm full go Honestly, it's pissing

167
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 7: me off.

168
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: I tell him. It just little worse than.

169
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 7: Good I did, tight and stuff like, hopefully it just

170
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 7: let me off. Man can't hold a dog back forever Man.

171
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Welcome in our Stacey Dale to the conversation, Stacy, there

172
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: is no denying the Micah Parsons impact so far, He's

173
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: still doing it, not playing anything close to all the snaps.

174
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: You covered this team a lot. What have you seen

175
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: here through two games?

176
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 8: Okay, Tom, let's put this in perspective here, right, forget

177
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 8: weeks one and two. The Packers played two games within

178
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 8: four days.

179
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: Okay.

180
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 8: Defensively, they hold two of the top five scoring offenses

181
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 8: and top six. I mean, I think Detroit ended up

182
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 8: six in rushing the football, so we'll say top six

183
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 8: because the Commanders were better last year. So two of

184
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 8: the best teams in the NFC scoring the ball, running

185
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 8: the ball last year to twenty eight combined points and

186
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 8: ninety seven combined rushyards in the course of four days.

187
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 8: And Micah Parsons has affected not just their defense but

188
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 8: all three phases special teams. The decisions Matt Lafleur, the

189
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 8: head coach and play caller, can make offensively now and

190
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 8: really the offense. But from a defensive standpoint, look at

191
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 8: everything that Jeff Hafley gets to do. He gets to

192
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 8: call whatever kind of game he wants, regardless of scheme.

193
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 8: He wants to call man, he can play man. He

194
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 8: wants to call zone, he can play zone. And they're

195
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 8: keeping everything in front of them. In these last two

196
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 8: games again, in the span of four days, they're stopping

197
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 8: the run. As I mentioned, other players are getting unique opportunities,

198
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 8: whether it's for Shan Garry or Lucas Vanes. We can

199
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 8: go down the gamut of these front seven type guys

200
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 8: and how many opportunities they're getting because of Michael Parsons.

201
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 8: It's incredible how they have man handled these top offenses

202
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 8: from a season ago. And I am emphatic about it

203
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 8: and dramatic about it because it's real and what we

204
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 8: saw Jordan love Do, Tom you watched it.

205
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 9: How many shots did he take?

206
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 8: Explosive throws down the field that was probably in recent memory,

207
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 8: one of the most aggressive offensive game plans. I can remember.

208
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 8: Matt Lafleur, and if you studied him on the sideline,

209
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 8: he looked fierce. I mean, it's as competitive as I've

210
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 8: seen Matt Lafleur look. And I think that one player

211
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 8: has built a belief in this team that they can

212
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 8: go to a.

213
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 9: Super Bowl and win a Super Bowl this year.

214
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 8: I know it's early, but it's amazing the impact Michael

215
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 8: Parsons has had.

216
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned that high powered Lions offense really struggling against

217
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: Michael Parson and the Packers last week. Someday they will

218
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: try to bounce back. Yeah, against a Bears team that

219
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: is now coached by the guy who was coordinating all

220
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: that explosion over the past couple of years.

221
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: You're going to be there.

222
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: Jared Goff needs a bounce back, Caleb Williams needs a

223
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: bounce back.

224
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: What do you make of this matchup?

225
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, let's start with the Bears. It felt like for

226
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 9: Bears fans.

227
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 8: If you're listening to talk radio in Chicago, Tom deja vou, Right,

228
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 8: we saw that incredible, beautiful opening drive and then it's sputtered.

229
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 9: And Ben Johnson talked about it. He talked about how.

230
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 8: Inconsistent it was and how they need to execute better

231
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 8: in the fourth quarter, which is going to be a focus.

232
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 8: But he also said, quote, I'm still getting to know

233
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 8: the player in Caleb Caleb Williams. So you go back

234
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 8: to the drawing board this week, there was a lot

235
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 8: of good they felt like, but there was also that inconsistency,

236
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 8: and Caleb talked about out how frustrating it was to

237
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 8: see some of those strikes that he missed downfield. There

238
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 8: was one of them that, by the way, was a

239
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 8: choice route, so that was not a designed run. Dj

240
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 8: Moore changed his route based upon the coverage here, and

241
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 8: they just missed on each other.

242
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 9: So it's really all about communication.

243
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 8: There were a lot of penalties to the tune of

244
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 8: the Chicago Bears for one hundred and twenty seven penalty yards.

245
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 8: So communication at the line of scrimmage Tom is going

246
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 8: to be vital heading into this environment, and that communication

247
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 8: it has to be silent. The silent count has to

248
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 8: be masterful going into Sunday, which is really hard to

249
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 8: do in your second week in the NFL playing a

250
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 8: divisional opponent, and so that's been a huge focus for

251
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 8: the Bears. Ultimately, though, they got to finish. That's been

252
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 8: the message. I was in their locker room and every

253
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 8: player told me we got to finish on Sunday.

254
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: Game day morning, Eastern time. On Sunday, you will see

255
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: Stacey Dale's right there in ford field.

256
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: What's that Stacy can't wait?

257
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's going to be great.

258
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: A lot more to come here on the Insiders, including

Speaker 2: Talking about it, you would, I.

271
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 11: Say, now, that is how you make an NFL debut

272

Speaker 2: You see that clip of Mecca.

275
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: It's not just the plays you're making, it's the reaction

276
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: of your teammates to me.

277
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: We got one.

278
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: Just described to me all the emotions of what happened

279
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: last Sunday.

280
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was amazing. A lot of credit goes to

281
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 12: my teammates. Shout out Baker for giving me some great passes.

282
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 12: And you know, all the wide receivers just really rallying

283
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 12: behind me and picking me up. Obviously, you know, in

284
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 12: an elite wide receiver room, just star studded with Mike

285
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 12: Evans and Chris Godwin and Sterling Shepherd and all these guys.

286
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 12: You know, you see Sterling and that clip all fired

287
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 12: up for me. That's really how our entire wide receiver

288
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 12: room is. We're just all so happy for the success

289
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 12: of one another. So I'm very blessed to be in

290
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 12: this room, and you know, very blessed to have the

291
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 12: start that I did.

292
00:13:59,480 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: Mecca.

293
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 5: One thing that we heard about you during the entire

294
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: pre draft process is how NFL ready you were like,

295
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 5: that's what scouts were saying, someone who could come in

296
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 5: and have an impact immediately. First of all, did you

297
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 5: hear that? And second of all, why do you think

298
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 5: that was? Obviously it was, it was real because it

299
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 5: played out already in week one, But why do you

300
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 5: think that was?

301
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

302
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 12: I mean, you know I heard just about everything you can.

303
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 12: You hear A lot of things are in the pre

304
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 12: draft process from you know, scouts and everybody that you

305
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 12: talked to. But you know, I think it's a combination

306
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 12: of you know, my preparation, the way I approached the

307
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 12: game on a day to day basis. And you know,

308
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 12: coming out of Ohio State, you've seen guys do it

309
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 12: at a very high level playing wide receiver. So I

310
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 12: think that you know, when when you're in the NFL

311
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 12: draft and you're a team that needs a wide receiver,

312
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 12: betting on someone who went to Ohio State isn't a

313
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 12: bad choice.

314
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: So we were just showing the game winning touchdown, your

315
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: second of the game last week against the Saint Mike

316
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: Evans said, this week, you called your shot in the huddle,

317
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: said this is the play I want. I'm gonna game

318
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: that corner. Is that true? And just take me through

319
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: the process of why you believe you'd be able to

320
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: hit that play?

321
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean you know, I'm by no means our OC.

322
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 12: I wasn't out here, you know, saying the exact play

323
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 12: we should run. But you know, we have a lot

324
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 12: of trust in each other. Our our OC has a

325
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 12: lot of trust and the things that we report back

326
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 12: to him when we come to the sideline, and Baker

327
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 12: obviously wants to know what is why receivers are thinking.

328
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 12: So we had ran that play a couple of times

329
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 12: on the opposite hash going into the game, and I

330
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 12: was you know, I was just burning the corner every

331
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 12: time I had ran it, and that safety, you know,

332
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 12: was aggressive. So coming down to you know, got to

333
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 12: have a moment, uh, you know when when I had

334
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 12: run it a couple.

335
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 4: Of times earlier in the game and I knew how

336
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 4: open I was.

337
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 12: You know, if they didn't make the adjustment, that's exactly

338
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 12: how it was going to go down.

339
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: So I told Bigger that.

340
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 12: I told the guys in the huddle, you know, we

341
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 12: get this play up, we're gonna have a good shot,

342
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 12: and we were able to call it, and you know,

343
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 12: they trust me to put me in that spot to

344
00:15:59,840 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 12: do it.

345
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: That is That is pretty awesome.

346
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 6: I love hearing that.

347
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: That's a great story and that's a great way to

348
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 5: end your first NFL game. I want to talk about

349
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 5: Baker a little bit because you know, look, he's been

350
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 5: He's been through a lot, He's been in a lot

351
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 5: of moments. I think it's fair to say last week

352
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 5: was a little up and down until the end when

353
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 5: he ripped it and won the game. You went through him,

354
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 5: all went all through the spring with him, all training camp.

355
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 5: Did you learn anything about Baker just watching him in

356
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: those as you said, got to have it moments last week.

357
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I learned. I learned every single day from him.

358
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 10: He is.

359
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 12: We're in constant communication on the on the practice field,

360
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 12: in meetings, and I walk through we go through every

361
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 12: possible look, every possible contingency to you know, execute when

362
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 12: it comes down to game day, because you can see

363
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 12: one thing on film, but you know, nothing in the

364
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 12: law says that the opposing team can't switch it up.

365
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 12: So we go over every possible look, and he's always

366
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 12: in my ear telling me about how certain scenarios can

367
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 12: play out. And just from watching him on the field

368
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 12: and the way he goes about his business day in

369
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 12: and day out, it just makes you want to compete

370
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 12: and compete for the love of the person next to you.

371
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 12: And you know he's a fiery competitor, and that's something

372
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 12: that you know encourages me and gets me fired up

373
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 12: as well.

374
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: That firing iss in that edge with Baker is always

375
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: a parent everything he does. Every press conference you catch

376
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: it with you. You're obviously a very intelligent guy. You also

377
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: come across as extraordinarily mild man. And this is not

378
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: the first time you've been on this show. You're right

379
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: here that I see the clips and you're absolutely a

380
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: different dude on the field.

381
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: Where where is that that switch flip? How do you

382
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: do that on Sundays?

383
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 12: I think it's just a culmination of all all the

384
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 12: work that we put in throughout the week and really

385
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 12: really our lives. I mean, you know, all NFL players

386
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 12: had to sacrifice a ton to be able to get

387
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 12: into the get into the league, and you know, there's

388
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 12: so much work that goes into every Sunday that we're

389
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 12: on the field, and kind of when it when it

390
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 12: comes to together in that moment, you're able to execute

391
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 12: and you realize that all the work.

392
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: Was not just for nothing.

393
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 12: You know, it's hard not to have emotion in that moment,

394
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 12: so especially when the lights of the brightest in the

395
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 12: stage just set. I love being in those environments where

396
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 12: I'm able to compete at the highest level. So I'm

397
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 12: going to let some emotion rip, but you know, I

398
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 12: try to be as level headed as I can going

399
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 12: into the game.

400
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 4: That's how I focus the best.

401
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 5: You guys got got the Texans next week or in

402
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 5: two days, as it happens, you're facing your old college

403
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 5: quarterback CJ Stroud. I don't know how close you guys are,

404
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 5: but take us inside. What the text messages this week

405
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 5: have been like. And are you looking forward to seeing

406
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 5: him this coming weekend?

407
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, I'm really looking forward to it. He was

408
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 12: my quarterback for two years at Ohio State before I

409
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 12: kind of came into came into my own at Ohio State.

410
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 12: All the fans used to call me CJ said we

411
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 12: look alike and stuff like that. So definitely got stopped

412
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 12: a few times on the side of the street asking

413
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 12: for aut before people know who I was. But now

414
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 12: I'm super excited to see him. I haven't been in

415
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 12: too much communication with him this week, but obviously we're

416
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 12: gonna be able to chop it up after the game

417
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 12: and everything like that. But just a special talent, someone

418
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 12: who I had the privilege of playing with, you know,

419
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 12: once again, a competitor and you know, crazy arm talent

420
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 12: and someone who who really has that you know, ability

421
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 12: to get hot. So hopefully our defense is able to

422
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 12: to get to him early so that he can't get

423
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 12: that momentum going because you know, he's able to, you know,

424
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 12: throw it around.

425
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 4: With the best of him.

426
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: Last thing for you and Mechi obviously made an instant

427
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: impact on the field. I know you also try to

428
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: make an impact off the field, including through the mentorship

429
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: program with the Bucks. You're one of the new board

430
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: members as rookie. Just tell me how you got involved

431
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: in that and what you want to accomplish.

432
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was, it was really a voluntary thing.

433
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 12: I think that, you know, something I try to live

434
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 12: by is to whom much is given, much is required.

435
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 12: So you know, I don't look at it as as

436
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 12: you know, I look at it as something I have

437
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 12: to do, not something that I get to do, because

438
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 12: you know, it's my responsibility in my job to be

439
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 12: able to give back. I've had so many opportunities and

440
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 12: so many blessings in my life to be able to

441
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 12: give me into this position, and I'm not naive to

442
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 12: the fact that, you know, not every kid has the

443
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 12: same opportunities that I had grown up. So, you know,

444
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 12: taking time out of my day, whatever the case may be,

445
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 12: to be able to make an impact in the youth

446
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 12: lives especially, That's where I try to focus on my

447
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 12: giving back, because you know, they're the future of the

448
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 12: people who are gonna, you know, run this country and

449
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 12: do many great things to come. So you know, I

450
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 12: know if I was a kid and my favorite football

451
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 12: player had the opportunity to meet me and spend some

452
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 12: time with me, I would have loved for that to happen.

453
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 4: So hopefully I could just fulfill that dream in some kids' life.

454
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: It's give me a few more kids wearing Mecca Buka

455
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: jerseys pretty quickly. If you keep delivering two touchdowns a game,

456
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: by my math, that puts you out pace for thirty

457
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: four for the season, which would be a pretty good year.

458
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: A Mecca thanks a Ton Man for coming back on

459
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: the show.

460
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: We appreciate you man. Good luck Monday night.

461
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. God bless you guys.

462
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 10: Thank you man.

463
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: A Mecca book a pretty good fantasy and real life debut.

464
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, despite all the concerns, also delivered last week

465
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: the Calf's healthy.

466
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 2: What do we expect from here? Our guy Adam Rank

467
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: has some deep, deep fantasy cuts for you next. So

468
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 2: the Insiders presented Welcome Back to the Asadas.

469
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty five NFL season is underway and single

Speaker 2: These are flex players.

479
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 3: We understand the players you've seeing, Yeah, and probably not

480
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: your flex because they're probably in your wide receiver or

481
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: running back.

482
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: But he goes all the way one through one hundred

483
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 2: and fifty. Adam Rake known to go all the way

484
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: in so many ways. Rake, I don't even know what

485
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 2: that means. Rank.

486
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: Let's talk about your top flex players for week two

487
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 3: here in the NFL. Let's start with Christian McCaffrey, who's

488
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 3: sort of like a flex anyway.

489
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: He's a running back in like a receiver.

490
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: He does a little bit of everything.

491
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 13: He does a little bit of everything, and people have

492
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 13: been concerned about it because of the change at the

493
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 13: quarterback position. Obviously, brock Perty is going to miss a

494
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 13: couple of times. However, I am not concerned at all

495
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 13: about the transition to Mac Jones. As a matter of fact,

496
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 13: if you think back to this, Mike, you know this

497
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 13: as well as anybody. During the draft process years ago,

498
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 13: the rumor was is that Kyle Shanahan loved Mac Jones.

499
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 13: So I really think that something special is going to

500
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 13: happen this weekend, and I really do like Mac Jones,

501
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 13: and I'm not going to back.

502
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 6: Off Christian McCaffrey. In fact, this is one of my

503
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 6: favorite stacks.

504
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 13: If you're playing a DFS late or something like that

505
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 13: and you're looking for sort of a contrarian stack, I

506
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 13: think you can go with Mac Jones, go with Christian

507
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 13: McCaffrey and put him into your lineup and another running

508
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 13: back who I really love, and I've loved him pretty

509
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 13: much for the entirety of the offseason, to the point

510
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 13: that people are trying to talk me out of it,

511
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 13: but I stayed true.

512
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 6: Mike and Breese.

513
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 13: Hall paid off handsomely in Week one, had a great

514
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 13: game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

515
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 6: And one of the reasons why I love this situation is.

516
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 13: One of the under One of the undercurrents of the

517
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 13: offseason was the pillaging of the Lions coaching staff and

518
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 13: Tanner Engstrom comes over from Detroit to the New York Jets.

519
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 13: I know a lot of the Bears fans were hoping

520
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 13: he was going to land on the Bear staff, but

521
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 13: wisely he chose the Jets staff because he was going

522
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 13: to have the ability to call the plays, and he

523
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 13: had said he wanted Breese Hall to be his Jamier Gibbs.

524
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 6: We kind of saw that play out, and no, Justin Field's.

525
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 13: Rob two touchdowns from him, But Breeshall is still an

526
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 13: excellent play week after week.

527
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: If you have Breeze Hall and you got a bunch

528
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: of points off him, and you're gonna get a bunch

529
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: of going forward. Also say thank you to Justin Fields.

530
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 3: There's one of those plays we just saw right there.

531
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: Anytime he's a threat to run, it's slowing down guys

532
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 3: off the edges. I was talking to the Jets players

533
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: about this this week. He is really helping the running

534
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: game in the scheming up so far against defenses, and

535
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: he will continue to do so, opening up whole holes

536
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 3: for Breshall, just like that offensive line is doing as well.

537
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas Junior the Jaguars a wide receiver, one of

538
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: the fine young wide receivers in the game today. He

539
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: is ranked somewhere and you listed one to fifty. I

540
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 3: don't know, it's not in the top five. I'll check

541
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: it while we're talking.

542
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 6: Go No, it's pretty high up there. Obviously.

543
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 13: Brian Thomas Junior a little bit of a disappointment last

544
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 13: week because from a receiving perspective, did salvage the week

545
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 13: on his rushing touchdown, which we're watching right now. This

546
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 13: had everybody's sweating because we're like, dude, we're not getting

547
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 13: points from Brian Thomas Junior. Then he runs one end

548
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 13: and it's great. What we really need to see is

549
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 13: a little bit more of a connection between him and

550
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 13: Trevor Lawrence. Last season, going back to Mac Jones, Brian

551
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 13: Thomas Junior average close to twenty Fantasy points per game

552
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 13: with Mac Jones, just fifteen with Trevor Lawrence.

553
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 6: We need to see a little bit more of that.

554
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 13: The good news is he's going up against the Cincinnati Bengals,

555
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 13: who've been one of the most generous defenses to opposing wide.

556
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 13: They've been generous to everybody. Let's be honest, Mike. They

557
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 13: give up a lot of points to everybody. So feel

558
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 13: great about Brian Thomas Junior this week. Also feel great

559
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 13: about Nico Collins, who is one of those guys we're

560
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 13: looking to bounce back this week. Obviously week one, it

561
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 13: was a little bit of a disappointment going up against

562
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 13: the La Rams, But I think we can kind of

563
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 13: write this off as a tough matchup. I think the

564
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 13: Rams are gonna get a lot of teams some problems.

565
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 13: We saw them improve over the last couple of seasons

566
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 13: that I think that the Rams are gonna be one

567
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 13: of those sneaky teams where you don't necessarily sit your

568
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 13: starters against the Rams, which you have to understand that

569
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 13: your guys are not going to perform as well this week.

570
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 13: Nico Collins will bounce back, So don't worry about it,

571
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 13: don't freak out, don't bench them. I saw somebody on

572
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 13: the show today, we did it. I didn't get a

573
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 13: real chance to answer it because they cut me off

574
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 13: and they're like, somebody was like, hey, should I start

575
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 13: Quinton Johnston over Nico Collins's. My answer is absolutely not.

576
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 13: We're not gonna over We're not doing this. We're not

577
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 13: overreacting in this way. Nicocollins is a must start every week,

578
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 13: So please Mike help me spread the word rank.

579
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 3: You're always going to be allowed your full answer here

00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 10: You know, first off, I've doesn't happen without the punch

626
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 10: out obviously, but you know, as a d lineman and

627
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 10: I'm going from rushing the quarterback to you know, I'm

628
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 10: turning around looking for the ball turn up. The ball

629
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 10: is bouncing towards me, which kind of a rare thing

630
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 10: for defensive lineman to turn around the balls going right

631
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 10: back to you, especially I fumble.

632
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean it was.

633
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 10: Kind of just insant. You know, I saw the ball.

634
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 10: I was like a dire situation in the game and

635
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 10: we're down to the last two minutes of the game.

636
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 10: They're driving down the score. So I just had to

637
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 10: make a quick reaction play and maybe a little bit

638
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 10: of luck, maybe a little bit of skilled and a

639
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 10: little bit of a combination of the two, but not

640
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 10: we made it happen.

641
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: Let's get our guy Lambman some love here.

642
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: The NFC defensive Player of the Week ten tackles, and

643
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: that punch out there signed a one year, one point

644
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 3: one million dollar deal. I believe it was he He

645
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: could wind up being this year Zach Bond signing that

646
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: bargain rate deal and then getting a ton.

647
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: Of money this offseason.

648
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: What has he done so far that had impressed you

649
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: leading up to that game on Sunday.

650
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, no doubt. I mean from day one when Laman

651
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 10: showed up, we felt that instant impact. Just just what

652
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 10: he brought into the meeting rooms early on in OTAs

653
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 10: and just the leadership that he brought through OTAs and

654
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 10: training camp. I mean, we knew he was going to

655
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 10: be a guy. And the punch out we had been

656
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 10: talking about when one of the first meetings we had

657
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 10: as a defensive unit, we talked about Lambman and his

658
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 10: punch outs that he had when he was at Atlanta

659
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 10: and being able to come in and then instantly one

660
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 10: of the first impacts he makes his punch and palla

661
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 10: out week one. I mean, it's it's been great from

662
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 10: day one, and I think that's a big reason why

663
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 10: he's got that c in his chest. You know, we

664
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 10: follow him and you know he's been a great leader

665
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 10: from you know, day one, and you know, we just

666
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 10: couldn't be couldn't be happier to have him. I mean,

667
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 10: he truly is an impact player for us and the

668
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 10: difference he's made and you know how this defense goes.

669
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 4: So you know, it's been awesome.

670
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: Every year in the NFL is a little bit different.

671
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: There's always gonna be guys coming and going from the

672
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: locker room. Obviously, DeVante Adams a big presidence. You added

673
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup a pretty big presence who's no longer. They're

674
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: just tell me how if at all this RAMS team

675
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: and even just the vibe in the locker room is

676
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: different this time around.

677
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, you know, I mean it's not much different

678
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 10: from how college is nowadays with the coming and going

679
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 10: with the transfer portal, but I mean yeah, I mean

680
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 10: it's been awesome, you know so far. I mean obviously,

681
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 10: you know, bringing in DeVante, bringing in Podaford has been

682
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 10: a huge and four as Lambman has been a huge one.

683
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 10: So I mean, yeah, I think the mats around the

684
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 10: building has been great. You know, the vibe has been

685
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 10: you know, close to how a college team would be,

686
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 10: which is hard to you know, emulate in the NFL

687
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 10: with just how you know, how different it is with

688
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 10: the age gaps and stuff. But it's been it's been awesome.

689
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 10: I mean, this is really a close knit group, tight group.

690
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 10: I mean we get together. I mean especially on the

691
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 10: defensive side of the ball, we're pretty young as a units.

692
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 10: I mean, we have a lot of fun out there,

693
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 10: and obviously you know the way we're able to compete

694
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 10: with each other on an offensive defensive side. I mean

695
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 10: just as a I mean, this is this is really

696
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 10: a special group that we got here, and you know,

697
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 10: moving forward, It's only been one week, but I know

698
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 10: we got a long journey ahead of us, and I'm

699
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 10: just excited to keep getting to work with these guys.

700
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: You guys are young upfront, but you've now got another

701
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: year of experience, and you also, by the way, played

702
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 3: really well as rookies and second round guys last year.

703
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: So when you look at this defense, and certainly the

704
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 3: Week one performance shows it kept the Texans to think

705
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty five yards, three sacks, a couple

706
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 3: of turnovers, including that big one right there, this defensive front,

707
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 3: how much more experience, how much more in game ability

708
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: to adjust?

709
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: How much more is there for this front this year?

710
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think there's so much ahead of us. I think,

711
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 10: you know, using last year, is that that build up

712
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 10: year for this group. I think there was a lot

713
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 10: of growing pains from probably Week one through being realistically

714
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 10: eight and nine last year and then taking that jump

715
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 10: and you know, making that jump to the playoffs was

716
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 10: huge for this group and more so from a confidence

717
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 10: standpoint of just how we work together. You know, when

718
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 10: are our playoffs and how we're continue to grow and

719
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 10: you know, coming into year two, we're really able to

720
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 10: take that next next step just because of how more

721
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 10: advanced we are in the game and just that experience.

722
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 10: I mean, there's no better teaching that going out there

723
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 10: and making mistakes and you know, getting that experience playing

724
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 10: other teams. And I think, you know, we had a

725
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 10: good test this past week one. You know, we got

726
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 10: a great test coming up this weekend against the Titans,

727
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 10: And I think this guy's a living for this group,

728
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 10: just the way you know, we work, the way we

729
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 10: get after it, and just how hungry each other are

730
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 10: just to you know, to get better and compete because

731
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 10: you know, at the end of the day, you know

732
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 10: it's it's meet me there and beat me there. That's

733
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 10: kind of our model on the defensive front. You know,

734
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 10: he's got to keep that going.

735
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: So this week you head to Tennessee, first road game

736
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: of the season, you're facing Titans team that's got the

737
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: number one pick cam Ward at quarterback. I'm curious, A,

738
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: what have you seen from cam Ward on tape? And

739
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: B when it's a rookie quarterback, no matter how talented

740
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: and all, no matter how mature, are you kind of like, yeah,

741
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: let's just give me one of those weeks.

742
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: I want to get after him here.

743
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, you know, you know, we take a one

744
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 10: week at a time no matter who we're playing. But

745
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 10: now Camp's definitely got a live arm and we saw

746
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 10: that in college and a week one, I mean of

747
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 10: throws that he's able to make, it's really impressive. And

748
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 10: you know the way he's able to you know, escape

749
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 10: the pocket and you know, make off off scheduled throws

750
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 10: is huge. But now we're excited. You know, it's just

751
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 10: another week for us to get better, another week for

752
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 10: us to get at it. You know, a lot of

753
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 10: our starters, you know, we haven't we didn't get the

754
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 10: chance to play in preseason. So we're finally getting our ops.

755
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 10: You know, we were sitting there hunger on the sidelines

756
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 10: with the preseason. So you know, the more chances we get,

757
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 10: the better. So you know, we're just uh, we're just

758
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 10: on track with this season. We're hunting and you know

759
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 10: we're getting after and Tennessee just happens to be next up,

760

Speaker 1: Strongly indicated at the start of the week, brock Perty

778
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: now officially ruled out dealing with both toe and left

779
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: shoulder injuries. Mac Jones gets the start against the Saints.

780
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: Left tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Jawan Jennings limited

781
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: in practice this week.

782
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: They're both listed as questionable.

783
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: Trent Williams, that's only a rest thing, but very very

784
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: little that Trent Williams has done on the field through

785
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: the course of the week. Be interesting to see they

786
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: take us up to kickoff whether or not he can go.

787
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: Time now for good coverage. The Cowboys been a number

788
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: on aj Brown in Week one. One of the things

789
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: that actually went well for Dallas.

790
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: In that game.

791
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: Aj Brown just one target, one catch for eight yard

792
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: guards and there it is. Other than that, one of

793
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: the most dominant receivers in the NFL pretty much invisible.

794
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: How will it go this time around for the Cowboys

795
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: against another star receiver for Moura that we bring in

796
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: our Jane Slater to the conversation with me, Tom Pelicero

797
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: as well as Ian Rappaport, Trayvon Diggs back on the field, Jane,

798
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: how many people expected him to.

799
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 2: Play in Week one? He did play?

800
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: Some What are we looking at now going into Week

801
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: two and the Matchupiece got ahead of him.

802
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 14: Well, I asked him that question, Tom and he told

803
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 14: me expecting twenty more plays out of him in four contacts.

804
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 14: He played in twenty six plays in that game against

805
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 14: the Eagles, So he will more than double what we

806
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 14: saw from him against the Eagles last Thursday. You know,

807
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 14: going back to his game, you saw him make a

808
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 14: stop on Dallas Goddard. Proof he can flash, but he

809
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 14: admits the conditioning is still coming. He's especially fired up

810
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 14: for Giants Rooki Elite Neighbors Digs, a former receiver himself.

811
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 9: Neighbor's a complete wide out who lines up everywhere now.

812
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 14: When I asked about neighbors frustration last week against Washington,

813
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 14: Diggs told me that just means that the Giants will

814
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 14: force him the ball Sunday. They're prepared for that. The

815
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 14: matchup is critical because the Cowboys are not now without

816
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 14: Duran Bland. He injured his foot in practice Monday and

817
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 14: is expected to miss a few weeks now. Next man

818
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 14: up is rookie Reddy Stewart, who made his debut.

819
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 9: On special teams last week.

820
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 14: It was DC Matt Yeberflus who praised his quickness, his

821
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 14: ballhwking instincts and ball skills, traits that will be tested,

822
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 14: but helps that you've got digs on the pitch count.

823
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you mentioned the Duran Bland injury. Bland, of course,

824
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 5: just signed that big contract right before the season, injured

825
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 5: his foot slash ankle. Sounds like it's maybe like a

826
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 5: two to three week injury. Not something severe significant, it's

827
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 5: something where probably misses a couple games for the Cowboys.

828
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 5: So no mister pick six for the next little bit

829
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 5: going forward. Another thing we are keeping.

830
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 6: Our eye on here for the Dallas Cowboys.

831
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 5: Jadevian Clown and maybe the top and most accomplished pass

832
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 5: rusher still out there, did visit the Cowboys earlier this week.

833
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 5: No signing, but it does sounding the two sides are

834
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 5: going to keep in touch now. Generally, what this means

835
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 5: is a veteran player wants a lot of money and

836
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 5: the team would like to pay him less. So one

837
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 5: of two things will happen. One maybe they just never

838
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 5: talk again, or two they will figure out the right

839
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 5: price moving forward. Cowboys just had one sack last week.

840
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 5: They go through another game and that really affecting the quarterback.

841
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 5: You do wonder if maybe they would offer a little

842
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 5: more get Clowney in the mix and get a little

843
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 5: pass rush help. After you know, they traded that other

844
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 5: pass rusher to the Packers.

845
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 6: You know that guy, We talked about him for a

846
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 6: couple of days.

847
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 2: On the other side of the ball for the Cowboys, Jane.

848
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: One of the driving storylines coming out of that game

849
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: on Thursday night was Ceedee Lamb having the ball hit

850
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: his hands on multiple occasions and not being able to

851
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: bring it in here. He's vowed publicly that he is

852
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: not going to allow that to happen again. He might

853
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: have just a little extra incentive this week against Judge.

854
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 9: I actually forgot about this one. Guys.

855
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 14: You'd have to go back to last year in that

856
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 14: second matchup against the Giants to now describe that this

857
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 14: is going to be a marquee matchup Ceedee Lambs versus

858
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 14: Drew Phillips of the Giants. Why well, as I was

859
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 14: just asking, as I do every week about these matchups,

860
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 14: you can see it right there. He made sure to

861
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 14: jump in and say that he was looking forward to

862
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 14: this one because he said, quote, he tackled me, he

863
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 14: hurt me. I've got something for him. That was the

864
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 14: hit that reaggravated his shoulder in week nine and led

865
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 14: to him getting shut down for the season. Later he clarified,

866
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 14: telling me, quote, it was a route that shouldn't have

867
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 14: been done. Down to that I hurt my shoulder again,

868
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 14: so I remember that now. He did want to stress

869
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 14: that Phillips is a good player. In other words, he's

870
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 14: not giving him bullet to board material. But combined with

871
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 14: the sting of some of those costly drops last week,

872
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 14: and we talked about this earlier in the week, guys

873
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 14: he was in working on those judge machines by himself.

874
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 14: He said he didn't want it to be public. It

875
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 14: just happened to get caught on film. Idyn't get much

876
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 14: sleep that night he was thinking about those drops. I

877
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 14: also asked him about his slot usage. It dipped a

878
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 14: thirty seven percent compared to nearly fifty percent in prior seasons.

879
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 14: His response, matter of fact, I'm not a slot receiver.

880
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 14: I'm not an outside receiver. I'm a receiver. I can

881
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 14: play anywhere on the field.

882
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 4: End quote.

883
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 14: That confidence lest some of his unfinished business should definitely

884
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 14: make this one a battle to watch.

885
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: Guys can play anywhere on the field and apparently can

886
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: play in any pair of pants. I have no idea

887
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: what he's wearing right there while taking those balls off

888
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: the jug machine.

889
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: Jane, thank you very much.

890
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: We'll see you game day morning, Sunday morning, starting at

891
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: nine a m. Eastern, full coverage of the Cowboys and

892
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: the Giants. After that game winner lose wild Guests, you

893
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: might hear something from Jerry Jones, who is still talking

894
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: about you know that guy he traded away?

895
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: So are other people in Green Bay.

896
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: We'll explain next. On The Insiders, presented by Progressive Insurance.

897
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: Tune in Sunday is Rich Eyes and Kurt Warner, Steve Murriucci,

898
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: Jerald McCoy, Kyle Brand, Cynthia Freelan, Kimmy checks the Insiders,

899
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: Hey that's us and reporters from across the country get

900
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: you ready for kickoff. Kyle sits down with Joe Burrow

901
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: after big Week one win to hear his expectations for

902
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: the season, and Kimmy catches up with Eagles standout corner

903
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: Cooper Dejean ahead of his Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs.

904
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: Game name morning, Sunday, nine am Eastern on NFL Network.

905
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: So things are going well so far in Green I

906
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: can only imagine Mike. Things are landing a little bit

907
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: differently in Dallas. Even if Jerry says he knew that

908
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: this was gonna happen.

909
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: You know, I since we had the night where we

910
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 3: broke this down immediately as I sat back and thought

911
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 3: about is a chance both teams could win this thing? Right, Like,

912
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 3: Dallas got a lot of capital moving forward here, there's

913
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 3: a lot of talent coming out of college here. I

914
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: still think in the long room, you may say, hey,

915
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 3: they worked out for both sides.

916
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 4: We'll see.

917
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I would just say we knew this was

918
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 5: going to be maybe the biggest story of the season,

919
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 5: certainly looking like that. Now, every time Micah Parsons does anything,

920
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 5: it is going to be a reflection of the Cowboys,

921
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 5: not saying, by the way that it's not a good trade.

922
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 5: This could end up being an excellent, excellent trade for

923
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys. I know this because they haven't drafted

924
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 5: anyone yet. With these two first round draft picks, they

925
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 5: have paid some guys that haven't trade it could be good.

926
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 5: But this season it's going to be like this, so

927
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 5: Cowboys fans should get used to it.

928
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: This is also why teams sometimes are going to make

929
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: a big trade. Like to do that before the draft

930
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: and start getting the players that can help you now

931
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: and you don't have to wait a year. I did

932
