1
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: A. Hutchinson doesn't need any extra motivation to get up

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: for a big divisional game on Sunday, but the Lions

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: just gave him one hundred and eighty million reasons. Anyway,

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: we will break down the latest megadeal for a top

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: pass rusher and tell you who could come next.

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: One of the NFL's best rivalries is.

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Back on Sunday and you can bank on Josh Allen

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes being must see TV. Bucky Brooks always

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: must see TV. He joins us tonight to dissect who

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: has the edge between these perennial AFC contenders. Who's got

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: the edge in your fantasy league? You if you tune

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: in every week for Marcus Grant's Fantasy Sleepers. Marcus is

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: back with a fresh batch for you tonight to give

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: your team the mid season.

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Magic you just might need.

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the Insiders, presented by Progressive Insurance long

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Sidan Rappaport and Mike Garriffalo. I am Tom Pelisero. We

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: come to you on the eve of Week nine in

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, the return of Lamar Jackson to the Ravens

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: lineup against the Dolphins. We got a bunch of quarterbacks

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: that could be back this week. We start tonight with

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: a guy who just got paid a lot of money

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: to chase them.

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: That is Aiden Hutchinson, who.

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: Agreed to terms today with the Lions on a four year,

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million dollar contract extension, tying him

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: to Detroit through the twenty thirty season. According to his

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: agent Mike McCartney, Hutchinson gets one hundred and forty one

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: million dollars in total guarantees, most ever for a non quarterback,

30
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: just the latest megadeal in an offseason where that pass

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: rusher market has absolutely exploded. Other than Nick Bosa, all

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: four of those deals came within the past seven or

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: eight months. Here the market continues to move forty five

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: million dollars per for Aiden Hutchinson on this deal. Michael

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Parsons still in at the top at forty six point

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: five million. But there's different leverage points in all these

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: deals I and it's not really apples to apples. Bottom line,

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: this is an absolutely monster deal for Aiden Hutchinson.

39
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a richly deserved deal for Aiden Hutchins. And

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: just think about what he has gone through to get it.

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: And yes, he had to collect a lot of sacks

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: and really has been on absolute sacked tear recently for

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: the Lions, but also suffered a significant, significant lower leg

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: injury last year that really made some wonder would he

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 3: get back to the level of play that he had been,

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: would he get back to the defensive player of the

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: Year candidate type performance.

48
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of.

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: People, including me, thought this deal might get done right

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: before the season. Sorry, I know they were in intense

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: talks with the Lions. It's only seemed like there was

52
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: some thought of like, he's good, he's the best, but

53
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: we just want to see him go out and do

54
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: it and play. Hutchinson has certainly done that, so he

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: ends up with the mega deal that many were expecting.

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: Four years, one hundred and eighty million, forty five million

57
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: dollars per year, gets twenty five million dollars additional over

58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: the next two years. Just another example, Mike, of the

59
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: Lions taking care of their excellent, excellent homegrown players.

60
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: We've seen it year after year.

61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: Aiden Hutchinson the last to get huge dollars for a

62
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: Detroit organization that does it the right way.

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 5: And Aiden Hutchinson went after Trayvon Walker. So Trayvon Walker

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: is coming off back to back double digit season. I

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 5: know we don't talk about him that much, and I

66
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 5: don't know that he'll reach this when it comes to

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 5: what kind of deal he'll eventually get, but certainly helps him.

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 5: I mean, you see the value of the quarterback number one,

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: and then disrupting the quarterback.

70
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: That's how these guys get paid.

71
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 5: The quarnerbacks are in there somewhere too as well for

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: the Lions, and I saw this from Dave Burkett, who

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: covers them for the Detroit Free Press, put it out

74
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: there this morning saying they've committed almost a billion dollars

75
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 5: a billion with a B to the core players that

76
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 5: they have drafted in recent years. Now, not all of

77
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: that's guaranteed, but when you're talking about core players and

78
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: guys that have been really good, a lot of that

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 5: is going to get paid out. And Brad Holmes spoke

80
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: to him at the combine last year, had already done

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: a bunch of deals.

82
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: There were even more deals coming. He was like, oh, yeah,

83
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: I got a everybody wants to get paid. Yeah.

84
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, that's a good thing, Brad, because

85
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: that means that you hit on your draft picks, you

86
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 5: developed them, and you've got yourself a core that you

87
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 5: want to then reinvest in. Hayden Hutchinson gets a big

88
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: one here along with all these other guys that have

89
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 5: gotten deal and probably.

90
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: More coming for Brad as well.

91
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: And how will Aiden Hutchinson celebrate while on Sunday he'll

92
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: be chasing around his fellow Michigan Wolverine JJ McCarthy. Full

93
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: participant in practice today for the Vikings for the first

94
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: time since he suffered a high ankle sprain all the

95
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: way back in Week two. The number ten overall pick

96
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty four draft now set to return

97
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: to action at Detroit, and he says finally he's ready

98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: to roll.

99
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: I felt close, you know, at the end of the day.

100
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 6: It was still a couple of things where it felt

101
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 6: like my foot was in concrete, and you just don't

102
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 6: want to be in that position, especially, you know, going

103
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 6: into a Thursday game, our Sunday game. Just not being

104
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 6: able to move the way I want to and protect

105
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 6: myself as the biggest concern. I feel like myself again.

106
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 6: I feel like I, you know, have those mobility things

107
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 6: that I was concerned about, you know, going into last week.

108
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: In the prior weeks, so yeah, ready to go.

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: Jade Daniels also trending toward returning to action after missing

110
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Monday Night's lots at Kansas City with a hamstring injury. Officially,

111
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: Jane Daniels a full participant in practice today. Dan Quinn

112
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: said that will be the case all week, putting Daniels

113
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: right on track to me back for another big game

114
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night against the Seahawks. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin will

115
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: not play in that game. He re injured his quad

116
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Monday night. In his return to action, Quinn said they

117
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: are hopeful this is not going to be anything long term,

118
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: but scary Terry's nightmare season continues right here. Some other

119
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: noble quarterbacks could be returning in Week nine. We already

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: mentioned Lamar Jackson. He is back off the injury report,

121
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: officially good to go on Thursday night against the Dolphins.

122
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: Michael Pennigs, junior limited in practice today, said he is

123
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction. We'll see if that equals

124
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: him being out there on the field. Kyler Murray no

125
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: official injury report yet because they play Monday night against

126
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Miss two games with a foot, but they're

127
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: certainly hopeful this is Kyler's return. Brock Perty remains limited

128
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: in practice. They're ramping him up. It's been a slow

129
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: process with that toe. And Bryce Young didn't play last

130
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: week because of a high ankle. Spring full participant in

131
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: practice today, which would seem ian to put him on

132
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: track to play against the Packers. Meanwhile, there's a quarterback

133
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: question in the new one in Cincinnati.

134
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: It's really been a season full of quarterback questions for

135
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bago. They thought that Joe Flacco was the answer,

136
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: and at times he really has been. Late in this

137
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: game against the Jets, I'm totally suffered an ac joint

138
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: sprain in his right shoulder, went into the locker room,

139
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: was able to finish the game, but it is best

140
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 3: to describe his status this week as up in the air.

141
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: Did not practice today.

142
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor saying he is someone who could come in

143
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: and start Mike on very limited.

144
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: They don't know how limited.

145
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: We remember he's only been there three weeks.

146
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: He has told Taylor that he wants to play, absolutely,

147
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: they don't know if he can physically do it. Jake Browning,

148
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: of course, is the backup and may in fact be

149
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: starting for the Bengals, Mike Hell's.

150
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 5: Freddie AFC North the Steelers. After that disappointing loss of

151
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: the Packers, welcome the Colts into town. The Colts. I

152
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: know a lot of folks are saying, haven't played that

153
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 5: many playoff teams.

154
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: Well, they've got four or five of them left on

155
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: the schedule.

156
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 5: As far as how the standings stack right now, the

157
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 5: Steelers are one of them. But here's Mike Tomlin saying, yeah,

158
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: might be leading the division, but we can get a

159
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 5: lot better.

160
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 7: We make no excuses about how or why we fall short.

161
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 7: Our job is to perform and perform at a high level,

162
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 7: and we haven't done that, and so I'm excited about

163
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 7: getting back to it. Seven games or whatever does make

164
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 7: a season. We certainly got more in front of us

165
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 7: and more opportunities to write our story, whether it's individuals,

166
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 7: whether it's a component of our team, or whether it's

167
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 7: our team in general. I think that's our general mindset.

168
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 5: This is how we do it. We tee up talk

169
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: about the Colts and the Steelers ahead.

170
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 8: We honestly, Mike, I've seen this Colts offense best offensive football.

171
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 8: They've scored the most touchdowns, the most points, they've they've

172
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 8: beaten you know, even the lost to the Rams. They

173
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 8: should have won that game. They had an early celebration.

174
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 8: The guy dropped the ball before he crossed the goal

175
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 8: lineh would have won that game. But regardless, I mean Pittsburgh.

176
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 8: Now they've lost to Seattle. You know, they've lost the Cincinnati,

177
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 8: we lost the Green Bay. They've given up over thirty

178
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 8: in all these games. And if they're gonna, if they're

179
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 8: going to follow what Mike says, where they're gonna, they

180
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 8: have time to write their script. I think he's got

181
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 8: to start on the defensive side of the ball right now. Offensively,

182
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 8: Aaron's doing what I think he can do. But even

183
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 8: in this first game to the Jets, they gave up

184
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 8: thirty two points that touchdown there to Garrett Wilson. I mean,

185
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 8: they're last right now in passing yards allowed. You're watching

186
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 8: Jackson Smith and Jigba, you know, deep balls down the field.

187
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: We saw it in the Cincinnati.

188
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 8: We've seen it right here with the Patriots, you know,

189
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 8: giving up a lot of big plays and not good

190
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 8: on you know, giving up first downs and teams are

191
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 8: converting twelve and twelve to eighteen on fourth downs, right

192
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 8: now they can't get off the field.

193
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: You know in certain situations.

194
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 8: We saw it just you know against Green Bay where

195
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 8: they didn't tackle well. Tucker Craft is catching you know,

196
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 8: three yard flat routes and he's going for twenty or

197
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 8: thirty yards after the catch. They got to tackle better

198
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 8: and then, honestly, their stars have to show up this weekend,

199
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 8: you know, TJ. Watt, Cam Hayward, Alex Heismith. They pay

200
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 8: these guys a lot of money and they're not really

201
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 8: impacting the game right now the way they need to

202
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 8: in order for this team. Because you can talk about

203
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 8: the pass defense. Pass defense can be a function of

204
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 8: pressure on the quarterback.

205
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 9: If Daniel Jones.

206
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 8: Can sit back here behind a good offensive line and

207
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 8: set his feet and find his targets, he's going to

208
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 8: complete these passes. I'm saying this a Colts offense. They've

209
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 8: got the leading rusher that Josh Downs right there that

210
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 8: you're looking at. He's a slot receiver. He's a big

211
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 8: part of this offense. You look at the screen game

212
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 8: right here to Tyler Warren, He's a big part of

213
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 8: the offense. They like two and three tight end sets

214
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 8: to run the ball, but all these throws you watch

215
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 8: from Daniel Jones, he's got a really clean pocket and

216
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 8: it doesn't matter who they've been playing against. He gets

217
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 8: a clean pocket and he gets a chance to air

218
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 8: it out. They take their shots. Shane Stike is throwing

219
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 8: a lot of deep balls in these games. It's not

220
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 8: dinking dunk, They're not checking it down. They're taking those

221
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 8: shots down the field, whether it's you know, Pittman or

222
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 8: Josh Stowns or to Tyler Warren. And oh, by the way,

223
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 8: we all watch a lot of you or Giant games

224
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 8: over the years that remember that confused look at Daniel

225
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 8: Jones used to have a lot of times coming off

226
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 8: the field, just that sort of days that's gone.

227
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: It's completely gone.

228
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 8: That guy's playing with as much confidence as any quarterback

229
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 8: in this league.

230
00:10:53,559 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 10: Right now, hand off to bydel Ydell following his blockers

231
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 10: so touchdown Chargers Kamani by now first rushing touchdown of

232
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 10: his career, this one a three yard run.

233
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: To the left. Look at the movement over there.

234
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 11: A nice job by Zion next to him as well.

235
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: That was fun to watch.

236
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: What a way to get your career going for Kamani.

237
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: Vydell who joins us right now on the insiders with me,

238
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: Tom Pilaicero, and Ian Rappaport. Kimani got hell no time

239
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: here to kind of take a breather after that Thursday

240
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: night game.

241
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: Rest up.

242
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: How we feeling midway through? But so far has been

243
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: your breakout season here.

244
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 12: It's feeling good. You know, I'm just trying to just

245
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 12: follow it up with another performance. Just focus on the

246
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 12: next game.

247
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: Kimani, It's been interesting the way the running back position

248
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: for the Chargers has played out. We had Naji obviously

249
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: go out for the season with the achilles. You have

250
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: Marion ham to go out with the ankle injury for

251
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: an extended period of time, and I assume that when

252
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: you step in there as what has basically become the

253
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: lead back for now, most people were probably like, who

254
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: is that guy? What has this ride been like for you?

255
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: The last three or so weeks on the field, off

256
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: the field, everything that's gone into it, It's been great.

257
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 4: You know.

258
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 12: I was blessed to have the opportunity for the my

259
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 12: coaches to trust me, for my teammates to trust me,

260
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 12: and you know, I've been just been trying to prove

261
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 12: them right.

262
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: You know.

263
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 12: The season, the none of the team's care. You know

264
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 12: that we have injuries, so we got to keep trying

265
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 12: to win.

266
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: But to take me back though, you know, to the

267
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: end of August here, Kimani, and you know you're always

268
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: fighting for a job, fighting for roster's fight. You get

269
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: cut at the end of camp, you signed back to

270
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: the practice squad. Is anywhere in your brain or you thinking, hey, well,

271
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, six weeks in I might have a couple

272
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: of one hundred yard performances under my belt.

273
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: How do you stay ready for that type of opportunity?

274
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 12: You know, back like when that happened, I was just

275
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 12: trying to take it day by day, just you know,

276
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 12: I try not to think like too far ahead and

277
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 12: just just stay stay with the course, stay focused, and

278
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 12: just try to get better at that at that point in.

279
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 3: Time, right, But then you score your first touchdown and

280
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 3: we just saw the we just saw the cookbook. You've

281
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: scored a lot of touchdowns in your life at Troy

282
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: and high school and all that, But you score your

283
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: first NFL touchdown. You had a nice touchdown celebration. Ready,

284
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: you must have at least thought of that. How much

285
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: time do you think, all right, if I scored my

286
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: first NFL touchdown. Here's how I'm going to celebrate, just

287
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: to make sure you nail it at the moment.

288
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 12: Honestly, it was just like I just did it at

289
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 12: the moment, Like I didn't.

290
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: I didn't think through.

291
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 12: Any of that, Honestly, I just just so happened to

292
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 12: get in the end zone and then it just like

293
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 12: it just came out like it was a natural almost.

294
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: So this week, now you guys come back, you get

295
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: that win. Now you're taking on the Titans this week.

296
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: This is like proverbial trap game, right, It's the Titans

297
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: teither disarrayed, they got an interim coach. What is Jim

298
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: Harbor message been to you guys to make sure you're

299
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: ready to roll out here on Sunday.

300
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 4: Just to play our game.

301
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 12: To just attack it how we know it, attack it

302
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 12: like how we did last week, and to execute the

303
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 12: game plan.

304
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: You don't want to go back to one thing that

305
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: that Tom mentioned. I mean, you have had two hundred

306
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 3: yard games in the last three weeks. You've also now

307
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: had the extra little break from the kind of mini buy.

308
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: Your body is obviously not taking this kind of pounding

309
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: and this many hits in probably a couple of years physically,

310
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: How do you how do you deal with that? How

311
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: do you sort of get ready for that and make

312
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: sure that when you do come back you're you're kind

313
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: of hitting on all cylinders.

314
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 12: I would just say, like it kind of goes back

315
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 12: to just the time when I was on the practice squad.

316
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 12: I was taking it like I was a starter almost

317
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 12: and taking care of my body at that point, and

318
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 12: like when the opportunity came, I knew like it like

319
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 12: it wasn't on a stop and I was just going

320
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 12: to have to keep going.

321
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: I remember when we first talked back at the Senior Bowl,

322
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: which was only a couple of years ago, it feels

323
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: like forever ago. But one thing that everybody knew about

324
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: you walking in was your great uncle, the late baseball legend,

325
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: Hank Aaron, who you got to know you got to

326
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: spend some time with it Tuopark question One, how were

327
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: those interactions?

328
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: What do you remember most? And two?

329
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: You know you got the World Series in your backyard

330
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: right now? Do you pay any attention just based upon

331
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: maybe some of that familial stuff that's somewhere deep inside you?

332
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, I definitely I've been watching the World Series. You know,

333
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 12: he was great he told me a lot just about

334
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 12: not really like anything on the field wise, it was

335
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 12: just more so off the field and you know all

336
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 12: the adversity faced off the field and just how he

337
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 12: dealt with that to keep focus and just keep going.

338
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: So, speaking of baseball, we have seen pictures of Justin

339
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: Herbert also and enjoying the Dodgers playing the World Series.

340
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: And your quarterback, besides enjoying some baseball and whatever else

341
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: he's been doing, has also been flashing some running skills, especially.

342
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 4: On Thursday Night.

343
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean, his ability to move in the pocket and

344
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: to escape and rush has really helped you guys offensively.

345
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

346
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: The question for you is can you evaluate his running skills, like,

347
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: as someone who does this for a living, what do

348
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: you think about the way your quarterback runs? And you

349
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: kind of let him hang out in the running back

350
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: room a little bit because of how successful he's been.

351
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 12: He does not hang out in the running back room.

352
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 12: He has a lot of other stuff he deals with.

353
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 12: But he does a great job, you know, keeping the

354
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 12: keeping us ahead on the sticks and you know, taking

355
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 12: off when he needs to and when he sees you

356
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 12: know that no one's, no one's there for him, you know,

357
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 12: he takes off and he does a good job protecting himself.

358
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: Come Onie, great to see you again, man, appreciate the time.

359
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: Keep this thing rolled. We'll see you again soon. Yes, sir,

360
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: thank you.

361
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's time for the Wolf of Ball Street. I

362
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: love that part. It's great part kind of goofy doing

363
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: with me.

364
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 7: Cam.

365
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: Listen the Wolf of Ball Street where Cameron Wolf joins

366
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 5: us every week to give down, to give us his

367
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 5: rundown of all things ball.

368
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: Wolf of Ball Street. Got it. Let's go Wolf of

369
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: Ball Street, Week nine edition. Go camp, Mike Gee, I'm

370
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: not going anywhere.

371
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 13: And to start the Wolf of Ball Street, let's start

372
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 13: with the Buffalo Bills. I was there this past week.

373
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 13: They blow out the Panthers, but there's still this nagging

374
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 13: need of more from Josh Allen in this passing game,

375
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 13: and so talking to people in Buffalo, there's a level

376
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 13: of relax but complacency is not a factor here. They

377
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 13: have certainly been looking inside the trademarket for a vertical

378
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 13: deep route receiver. If they can find someone that is

379
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 13: good for them price wise, they have just two million

380
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 13: in cap space, and also someone that can immediately come

381
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 13: in and have an impact. With Josh. Don't be surprised

382
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 13: to see them make a move. This week is going

383
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 13: to be very important against the Chiefs to see how

384
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 13: their playmakers line up. Josh Allen loves to throw that

385
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 13: deep ball. They haven't quite had that yet. They've looked

386
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 13: at multiple positions with wide receiver, maybe that spot. One

387
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 13: player that fits a lot of those categories I mentioned

388
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 13: New Orleans Saints Rashid Shaheed keep an eye on all

389
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 13: of this. Now, let's go to Jacksonville where they're coming

390
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 13: off of bye week with an idea of making some changes,

391
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 13: and one change you shouldn't be surprised to see Travis

392
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 13: Hunter becoming.

393
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 9: The center of their passing offense.

394
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 13: Brian Thomas Junior has had some struggles early on in

395
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 13: the season with some drops.

396
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 9: They're not giving up on him.

397
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 13: Liam Cohen confirmed they're not trading him, but they've talked

398
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 13: this bye week about using a.

399
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 9: Hunter even more.

400
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 13: They felt like there were a lot of opportunities that

401
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 13: were missed in the first half of the season, maybe

402
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 13: when Hunter was the second or third progression. Don't be

403
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 13: surprised if he ends up being the first progression and

404
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 13: also seeing a little bit more snaps at cornerback as well.

405
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 13: They think that he's finally ready to be unleashed as

406
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 13: a playmaker and finally let's go to Miami, where I'll

407
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 13: be for the Thursday night game tomorrow. Look, it's been

408
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 13: a rough year for Miami, but there was a moment

409
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 13: during this week where their offensive coordinator Frank Smith talks

410
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 13: to Jonas Sabi and Aya and said, I learned in

411
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 13: Arizona you do this hakka.

412
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 9: Dance to get your team and you hyped up. Why

413
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 9: don't you do that?

414
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 13: He did it in front of the offensive line, and

415
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 13: then his teammates encouraged him after the win against the

416
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 13: Panthers or the Falcons to do it, and he does it,

417
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 13: and there's a certain galvanization that comes with it.

418
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 9: They think they.

419
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 13: Can continue this, the dance and that galvanization against the

420
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 13: Ravens this week. Thursday Night football is something of a

421
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 13: positive light for a Dolphins team that hasn't had much

422
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 13: of it this year, and another sign that they're Head

423
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 13: coach Mike McDaniel hasn't lost the team yet. They are

424
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 13: still fighting.

425
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: I love a good hockey dance.

426
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 5: I think you got to work on everybody else in

427
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 5: the background, like get them to fully understand how it's done,

428
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 5: do it all together. It's really an intimidating kind of thing.

429
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: We've seen like high school teams do it before games.

430
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 5: It is a fascinating thing to see. And if that's

431
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 5: what galvinizes them weeping, and if that's what gets them

432
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 5: to play well Tomorrow night, while Cameron Wolf is in

433
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 5: attendance covering this game, so be it.

Speaker 2: Every day he walks in that building.

468
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,919

469
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 11: you know what to expect as a player.

470

Speaker 4: Robert.

471
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: I was there week one. It's a rainy day, You're

472
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: facing the Raiders. Everybody's expecting you. Guys are going to

473
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: come out first game with a verbel era and like

474
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: it just it wasn't great in second half, the Raiders

475
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: offense got things going. Drake really struggled on offense. How

476
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: did vrabel respond to that very first game? And what's

477
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: allowed you guys to coalesce so well here in less

478
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: than two months since?

479
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think he's remained really consistent. We're going to

480
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 11: focus on preparation throughout the week and then we're going

481
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 11: to let it rip on Sunday. That was not our

482
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 11: best outfit week one, and we just want to continue

483
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 11: to work to get better each and every week. So

484
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 11: we're just going to continue to keep our heads down

485
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 11: working and good things are going to happen for us.

486
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: What do you what do you see in practice from

487
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: Mac Jones? Because we see it on game day on Sunday?

488
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: I mean, are you seeing an increased confidence? I mean,

489
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: I know, you know, you know what did I say?

490
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry? They tell me Drake May, I don't even know,

491
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: he said, Mac Joe. That was a couple of regimes ago.

492
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 11: But hey, yeah, and I'm like mccollins, so I don't know.

493
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 5: Man, we are having a show man, We are have

494
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 5: s How about Drake May?

495
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: How impressed to you with what you've seen?

496
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: Of him in practice because the confidence seems to be growing.

497
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 11: On Sundays confidence leadership, swag. He says he has no swag,

498
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 11: but he walks around with a lot of swag.

499
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

500
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 11: A guy that people really gravitate towards, whether you're a

501
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 11: defensive player, offensive player, special teams player. He has control

502
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 11: of the locker room. You go in there, guys respect him,

503
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 11: and he does not take that lightly. He goes out

504
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 11: there leads every day, not only in practice, but shows

505
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 11: up big for us on game day.

506
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: You've played for several different teams, Robert, You've seen a

507
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: lot of different quarterbacks over your time, But what was

508
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: the moment at which whether it's going up against each

509
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: other in camp or whenever, they were like, oh all right,

510
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 1: this this guy might be it.

511
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 11: Yeah. Early in Ota is as a linebacker, you're a

512
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 11: vision and break player on so many different defensive calls.

513
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 11: So I recognized early on he was able to manipulate

514
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 11: underneath coverage rather easily, So you need to start going

515
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 11: away from his eyes at certain points early in the downs.

516
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 11: He really has a great understanding of what he's getting

517
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 11: coverage wise, and he's able to manipulate underneath defenders really well.

518
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: You know I mentioned Mike Rabel.

519
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 5: This is your second go round with him, right like

520
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 5: you were with the Tennessee Titans won twenty eighteen, you

521
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: were waived. So when you go and you sign in

522
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 5: free agency and you're back there in New England, you say, okay,

523
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 5: wait a second, what are you seeing this time around?

524
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 5: Like did you see my development as a player?

525
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: And you conversate, what is this? Why do you want me?

526
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 10: Now?

527
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: That's awesome? Like, seriously, did that surprise you?

528
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 9: It did.

529
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 11: But my first career start came a against the Mike

530
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 11: Brabel led Tennessee Titans when I was with Pittsburgh Steelers,

531
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 11: and that was a game that changed my life. And

532
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 11: you never know, it could have had a turning point

533
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 11: in coach where he saw something in me that he

534
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 11: didn't at that point. I was a young, undrafted player

535
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 11: that many people didn't believe would last in this league.

536
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 11: So for me to be here today playing for coach

537
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 11: as an honor and a privilege.

538
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: So Sunday you go up against the Falcons.

539
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: Don't know for certain if this is going to be

540
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix junior, if it might be Kirk Cousins, if

541
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: we're going on Garafolo's timeline of guys from twenty twenty three.

542
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe Desmond Rinder starts for them instead. Here

543
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: when you look at all the different weapons they've got,

544
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: Bijon Robinson, they can do things in the past game.

545
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: What do you see in? How do you attack them?

546
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, you start with seven, You start with Bijon, an

547
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 11: elite all around back can do it all out of

548
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 11: the backfield, lining in the slot, lining as an ex receiver,

549
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 11: going in motions, screens down the field, slants outside zone,

550
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 11: inside zone.

551
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 9: So he is.

552
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 11: Target number or one or I don't want to say

553
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 11: target because that sounds bad. But he's the prime focus

554
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 11: of their offensive attack, yep.

555
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 5: And he should be the prime focus of your defensive

556
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 5: game plan. Sometimes I like to play a game called

557
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 5: What's on the Shelf? Behind you? Looks like there should

558
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 5: be wine bottles in those little slots. What's on the shelf?

559
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 5: And did you design it yourself? There are decorated.

560
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are some wine bottles.

561
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: Actually, oh they are okay, yeah, I thought they were

562
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 5: like little figurines there.

563
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: This is Eve and Wally. Who are they?

564
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 11: They're Disney animated characters. Oh, Wally Disney guy, the Disney

565
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 11: guy I got.

566
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: I got a dog. He didn't have a name. We

567
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: should name him on these days, so we'll work on that.

568
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 11: Robert the beauty.

569
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 9: I love that.

570
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 2: I love that we're being told repeatedly, those are really packed.

571
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: We got it.

572
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: We want to get as much of it as possible.

573
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: And Mike's pulling things.

574
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: Off the ship right here, and.

575
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 11: I thought it might as well was coming on TV,

576
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 11: so no, throw.

577
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,360

Speaker 2: You go, lady, you got to try to see a.

00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: Couple of bourbon guys here. It all came together. Don't

581
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: pull yours out, Mike, you're not allowed to drink that

582
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: till after the show.

583
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: Robert, best of luck, man, thanks a lot for me here.

584
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 2: We appreciate I already have, Robert, you're the best, dude.

585
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 11: Appreciate you guys.

586
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: Hosted Basilhagen. Actually actually is a really nice edition. Just

587
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: picked that up recently. Anyway, big time fun matchup for

588
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: that guy right there, Jimbo, as they say, and the

589
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills facing the Kandasity Chiefs this week, and what

590
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, could be an ABC title game matchup

591
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: maybe hopefully.

592
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 4: I don't know.

593
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 3: Listen to these stars talk about what they first see

594
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 3: Sunday being like, I.

595
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: Mean, they don't like us.

596
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 14: I mean that's that's pretty They do not like the Chiefs,

597
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 14: But I mean it is a cool environment I love

598
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 14: playing in like historic stadiums, and that stadium has had

599
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 14: so many great players playing it, and who knows it

600
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 14: might be the last time that we get the opportunity

601
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 14: to play there.

602
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 15: I'm gonna give you a cliche answer here. I mean,

603
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 15: it's the next one. Every game is different, every year

604
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 15: is different. Everything presents itself in a different way. Nothing

605
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 15: that happened last year, the year before, or the year

606
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 15: before that carries over or matters. This week.

607
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: Lies, Josh Allen lies and all matters and all carries over.

608
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: It cannot wait for Sunday Bucket Books. Thank you very

609
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: much for hanging with us on the Insiders. These guys

610
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 3: teaed it up pretty good. Why don't you tell me

611
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: what you're looking forward to in this big time matchup

612
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: on Sunday.

613
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 16: I'm looking for the continued evolution of the Kancity Chiefs

614
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 16: passing game. Rashid Rice has come the last two weeks

615
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 16: and has been the number one receiver that they needed.

616
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 16: When you think about what he is able to do,

617
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 16: he's a catch and run specialist. He's a guy that

618
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 16: is terrific catching the ball under the knee.

619
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: Now you look.

620
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 16: At the stats differentestrian, they don't stand out in terms

621
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 16: of yards per catch. But what he's able to do

622
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 16: is he's able to really add the screen game to

623
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 16: this offense. So you have him doing the horizontal stuff,

624
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 16: you have Xavier Worthy doing the vertical stuff, and what

625
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 16: it's done is balance out the offense. More ball control,

626
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 16: more efficiency, more effectiveness from Pat Mahomes. So it really

627
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 16: really works out. Three touchdowns from Rice. It's important because

628
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 16: now he's helping them put the ball in the paint.

629
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 16: What you like when I look on the Buffalo side

630
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 16: of it, I love the re emergence of James Cook

631
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 16: as a big time playmaker in this offense. Ran for

632
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 16: two hundred yards a week ago against the Carolina Panthers

633
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 16: and it was the big explosive runs.

634
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: And what happens when James Cook gets going.

635
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 16: It allows the Buffalo Bills to not only retain the explosiveness,

636
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 16: but it allows them to control the game. And a

637
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 16: matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, where you know that

638
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 16: Pat Mahomes is the master of finishing games off in

639
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 16: the fourth quarter. James Cook, his emergence, his effectiveness, his

640
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 16: production will allow them to control the ball, play keep

641
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 16: away from the Chiefs maybe in the fourth quarter, and

642
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 16: allow them to win a game that is a big

643
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 16: game on their schedule, because ultimately this could decide some

644
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 16: seedings when it comes to the AFC playoff field.

645
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Siders presented by Progressive Insurance New Today.

646
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: We had a trade the Eagles and the Jets pulled

647
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 3: off the trade. Michael Carter the second, very good slot

648
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: corner versal sout quarter goes to the Philadelphia Eagles and

649
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: a trade that's been in the works for a couple

650
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 3: of weeks, John Metchi the third goes to the Jets

651
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: a receiver to give them depths plus a pick swap

652
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: the Eagles loading up for the stretch run. Meanwhile, speaking

653
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: of green teams, we got a lot of green. That's

654
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 3: not green. That's the Green Bay Packers throwbacks right there.

655
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: Usually they're green. This is more blue. It's still the

656
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: Packers throwbacks. In what is a big time game against

657
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers. Let's listen to Jordan Love tell us

658
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 3: really about the throwbacks, but about this Panthers defense.

659
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 17: They don't want to give up big time plays and

660
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 17: you can see that all of the tape as they

661
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 17: do a good job of that. I think we were

662
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 17: looking at a stat there, one of the highest in

663
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 17: the league, like you said, of least exposive plays hit

664
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 17: on them. So you just got to do a good

665
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 17: job of taking what's there sometimes and finding those little

666
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 17: whether it's to check down, whether it's just hitting a

667
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 17: guy with the middle they drop step, and maximizing all

668
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 17: those yards. And when those opportunities do come to hit

669
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 17: a big play down the middle or over the top,

670
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 17: you know, we got to hit on that. You got

671
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 17: to maximize those opportunities when they come.

672
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: Welcome in, Bridget conon to the party bucket books joining

673
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: us as well.

674
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 4: Bridgie heard Jordan Love.

675
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 3: You know what kind of quarterback he has been this

676
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: year for the Green Bay Packers.

677
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 4: What is going to be key for him in this

678
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 4: matchup Sunday.

679
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 18: And just keep doing what he's doing. Jordan Love is

680
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 18: playing exceptionally and he just completed twenty straight passes in

681
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 18: that win against the Steelers on Sunday, something that didn't

682
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 18: even surprise any of his teammates. Guys, how interesting is this?

683
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 18: Nobody on the Packer's sideline even knew that that was

684
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 18: happening until after the game when they were in the

685
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 18: locker room. That just goes to show the composure, the

686
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 18: pois Jordan Love is playing with, and the confidence his

687
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 18: teammates have in him. I was talking with linebacker kway

688
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 18: Walker on the phone earlier and he said, yeah, we

689
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 18: had no idea about that stat but Jordan Love hasn't

690
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 18: even scratched the surface of how good he can be.

691
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 18: He said, it doesn't surprise him what he's doing out

692
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 18: there on the field, and he said it started in

693
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 18: training camp. He said he remembers how hard Jordan Love

694
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 18: was working as he got ready for his third season,

695
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 18: so nothing surprises him. What's really funny is I asked

696
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 18: him about some of the stats that Jordan Love has had.

697
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 18: He's having the best season statistically in his career so

698
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 18: far this season, and he said, you can't see me

699
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 18: because we're talking on the phone, but I'm smiling talking

700
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 18: about my quarterback. That's how much belief he has in him.

701
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 18: Bucky and they're just wanting to get the ball into

702
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 18: his hands as much as possible.

703
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: Love Man turk.

704
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 16: Graf has been terrific, But Jordan Love has really made

705
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 16: all of these guys better. And one of the reasons

706
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 16: that Jordan Love is help this offense goes because he's

707
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 16: getting the ball out of his hands quicker. Now ball's

708
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 16: coming out. They're doing those catch and run concepts. You're

709
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 16: seeing things at the line of scrimmage, horizontal concepts. So

710
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 16: now they're attacking the underbeluy of the defense and it's

711
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 16: leading to more control of the game because they're racking

712
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 16: up first downs instead of big play honey. But Jordan

713
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 16: Love has also shown the ability to push the ball

714
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 16: down the field when the opportunity presents itself. And overall,

715
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 16: we're seeing the maturation of a franchise quarterback, someone who

716
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 16: understands when they take when the defense is giving, but

717
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 16: also will push the envelope when it's there.

718
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: It's really working out well.

719
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 16: For the Packers as they're rounding in the form as

720
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 16: a Super Bowl contender.

721
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, great call, Buck. You actually have to be honest,

722
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm a little jealous of the bridge. It gets to see

723
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: this in person. Covering it for us at NFL Network.

724
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: Take me inside the Panthers run game, because I think

725
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 3: it was pretty obvious. Juba Hobbard was the starting running back,

726
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: no big deal. Then he got a cap injury and

727
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: everything changed. What is the plan for the Panthers?

728
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 18: Yeah, Ian really interesting situation that the Panthers have with

729
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 18: their running game between Cuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdell. What's

730
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 18: interesting is now we have a Packer's third ranked run defense.

731
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 18: That is going to be the first game where we're

732
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 18: figuring this out. Dave Canallis was asked this week, how

733
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 18: do you plan to split up the reps? They're still

734
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 18: working through it in practice because, as you mentioned, Rico

735
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 18: Dowdell has been exceptional for this team this season. In

736
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 18: the two games that Cuba was out with injury, Rico

737
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 18: went off and then Cuba has been back the past

738
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 18: two weeks, Week seven and Week eight, and their run

739
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 18: game really has taken a hit. So what do you do.

740
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 18: Do you play the veteran Cuba Hubbard, who has done

741
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 18: so much for this Panthers team, or do you go

742
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 18: with Rico, a newer member of the Panthers who has

743
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 18: that hot hand right now. I talked with kuway Walker,

744
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 18: the linebacker for the Packers, about how you defend. You know,

745
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 18: if it's Cuba, if it's Rico, he said, no matter

746
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 18: who's out there, it's the same for this Packers defense.

747
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 18: Create one on one matchups and be physical at the

748
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 18: line of scrimmage. But ian something that might impact this

749
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 18: run game. Five members of their offensive line were on

750
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 18: the injury report today. Of course, they're hoping to get

751
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 18: a couple of those guys back on Sunday.

752
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: Time out to Marcus my words, you bretty yet, Marcus,

753
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant's words, He's got his Week nine Fantasy sleepers.

754
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: Marcus, jump right in and.

755
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: Give me a quarterback people should think about putting in

756
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: the lineup.

757
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 4: Let's go Trevor Lawrence Soula.

758
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 19: He hasn't quite lived up to expectations, but the last

759
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 19: couple of weeks have not been too bad for him.

760
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 19: He's averaged more than twenty one fantasy points per game

761
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 19: over his last three. Had a season high two hundred

762
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 19: and ninety six yards in Week seven against the Rams.

763
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 19: Now he gets the Raiders of the third lowest pressure

764
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 19: rate just three interceptions so far this season, very curious

765
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 19: to see what Liam Cohen might have cooked up in

766
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 19: the bye week, but Trevor Lawrence starting to turn things around.

767
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: How about running backs?

768
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 5: I got a couple of guys that I think might

769
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 5: be candidates here, so hopefully you'll name one and.

770
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 2: Help me make some decisions. What do you got?

771
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 3: All right?

772
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 19: Let's start with Tyrone Tracy, who takes over after the

773
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 19: unfortunate no injury to Cam Scataboo.

774
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 4: Was going against the.

775
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 19: Niners defensive front that is definitely feeling the loss of

776
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 19: Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. They have one hundred and

777
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 19: fifty seven rushing yards last week to the Houston Texans.

778
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 19: Now Tracy not a huge part of the passing game,

779
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 19: but could get the occasional target. It still has a

780
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 19: really good opportunity against a kind of leaky run defense.

781
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 19: Then here's Burshard Smith, who probably is better in maybe

782
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 19: deeper leagues, but with Isaiah Pacheco right now week to week,

783
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 19: Kareem Hutt getting a lot of work but not looking

784
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 19: very explosive. Brashard Smith kind of having a vibe of

785
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 19: Jeric McKinnon two point zero in this Chiefs offense. Right now,

786
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 19: the Bills have been a top six favorable matchup for

787
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 19: running backs. So with some more opportunity and a few

788
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 19: targets his way up, Brishard Smith could be a nice

789
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 19: flex play.

790
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: Marcus Hellbot a wide receiver who maybe this could be

791
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: the week you gotta have him in.

792
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 19: I think it's DK Metcalf, and maybe I'm fudging the

793
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 19: definition of sleeper a little bit, but he's a guy

794
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 19: who's been kind of mid as the kids would say

795
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,479
Speaker 19: so far, but has a really good opportunity this week

796
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 19: against the Colts are the third best matchup for wide receivers.

797
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 19: What has Metcalf will float Not so much the catches

798
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 19: in the yards. It has been the fact that he

799
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 19: scored a touchdown in five of Pittsburgh's seven games this year.

800
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 19: Last week, the Colts had a tough time with Chim

801
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 19: Ray DK in the middle of the field. That's where

802
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 19: DK Metcalf does a lot of his work. I would

803
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 19: expect Aaron Rodgers to look his way quite a bit.

804
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 2: All right.

805
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 5: How about a defense for those of us who like

806
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 5: to stream defenses.

807
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 19: Yeah, for the streaming contingent out there, I'm gonna say,

808
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 19: go back to the Jaguars again. I gave you Trevor

809
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 19: Lawrence at the start. We'll wrap it up with the

810
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 19: Jaguars defense going against the Raiders. The Jags had that

811
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 19: crazy turnover look early in the season, with fourteen takeaways

812
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 19: in their first five games. They haven't had one in

813
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 19: a couple of games since then, but the Raiders have

814
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 19: been giving it away at a high rate. Twelve turnovers overall,

815
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 19: ten interceptions by Gino Smith, who, by the way, has

816
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 19: also been sacked nineteen times. So everybody likes a buffet

817
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 19: in Vegas. This one could be a turnover buffet for

818
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 19: the Jaguars this week.

819
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,480
