1
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Week four kicks off tonight. It's Dak Prescott, It's Daniel Jones.

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Which version the Cowboys are gonna show up tonight against

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: the Giants.

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: I know this.

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: Mike Garrifolo showed up and he will be on the

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: field to tell you what he knows about this Thursday

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: night till one headline I read this week actually said

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey appears dejected after Taylor Swift missus chiefs gap.

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Hear me out?

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Kelsey also not throwing them on eight catches

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: through three games. We will show you how Kansas City

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: can get it star tight and killing. Meanwhile, they Jets

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: will be back in MetLife Stadium just three days from now.

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: They got some momentum as the Broncos come to town.

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Hit Aaron Rodgers and company. Keep it rolling.

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: There's only one way to know for sure.

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Let's get a Baldy's breakdown. What's Week four like around him?

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: Or here?

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Well, for starters, there are four hosts welcome inside with

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: the insiders. I'm Tom pellis that seeing round fourth? That

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: is Judy Batista and that's Mike Garatfolo. Where as usual,

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: the PA announcer is doing his test right as we

23
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: began this show. It's a Thursday tradition, Mike, Cowboys Giants.

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: What do you know?

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: Exciting game that I because you got the Giants coming

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: off will win. We were there feeling pretty good about

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 3: themselves and looking at the situation saying, hey, Minnesota's pretty good.

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: So we lost to a pretty good team Week one.

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: Week two, if we had a kicker, we probably win

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: that game. And then we actually did win a game

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: against the Cleveland Browns in which we want fumbled on

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: the first play of the game or the opening kickoff

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: or whatever it was, and then they go down and

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: score and then we pretty much control the rest of

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: the game after that. So the Giants are feeling good

36
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: despite the fact that they haven't beaten this team in eons.

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: They haven't beaten Dak Prescott since like twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen,

38
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: something like that. But you got a Cowboys team that

39
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: needs to get off to a better start and Ceedee

40
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: Lamb was much of the talk the past couple of

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: days and said that his body language is his body

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: language could be better, which I think was appreciated. But

43
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: you know, I spoke to head coach Mike McCarthy last

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: night and he said, yeah, I didn't have one conversation

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: with him about that. I know CD, I know where

46
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: as hard as I know what he's all about. He's

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: a great kid, and he wants to win and he

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: wants to do well. So that's where that was coming from.

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: From McCarthy's standpoint, not concerned believes that just a couple

50
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: of days later, his number one wide receiver is going

51
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: to be locked in and he's got a chance tonight

52
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: against a team that will be without a Dori Jackson

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: and Drew Phillips as well. So this is a banged

54
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 3: up Giant secondary that he really could take advantage of.

55
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: Well, what the Giants could take advantage of is the

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 4: fact that the Dallas Cowboys can't stop the run, a

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: problem that dates back to last season, frankly, and they

58
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: still haven't solved it. And actually the Giants have been

59
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 4: running the ball pretty well well last two weeks. The

60
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 4: offensive line, as we know, was rebuilt in the offseason

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: and they were blowing open some holes for Devin Singletary.

62
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: So this is an opportunity for the Giants to run

63
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 4: the ball, and of course they would like to be

64
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: able to do that because that would keep Micah Parsons

65
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: from teeing off on Daniel Jones. Last week we saw

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: Michael Parsons was neutralized because the Ravens were just running

67
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 4: the ball constantly down the Cowboys throats. Now, obviously Daniel

68
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: Jones is not Lamar Jackson, but Devin Singletary ought to

69
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: be able to rack up some yards here, so we

70
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: will see. This is a chance for the Giants to

71
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 4: take control of the game, maybe take control of the clock.

72
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: As you mentioned, Mike, it's been a long long time

73
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: since they controlled things against the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe that's

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: one way to do it.

75
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: It's also a change duty for Daniel Jones to change

76
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: the conversation. We came into the season wondering, honestly, when

77
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones would get benched.

78
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: I mean it seemed like the conversation.

79
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 5: Started before Daniel Jones even played a game, right, I

80
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 5: mean it was a when is Drew Locke going to

81
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 5: take over Dubna's contract? The lack of guaranteed money after

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: the year. That whole conversation went out. Week one did

83
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 5: not play well first start after an acl okay, fine,

84
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: so now is he going to get replaced? Except the

85
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: last two games Daniel Jones has played well. Mike mentioned

86
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 5: if they lost the second game because the end of

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: a kicker basically, but over one hundred passer rating in

88
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: each of the last two games. Kind of quietly, he's

89
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 5: getting a little bit closer to the Danny dimes that

90
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 5: we start early in his career. If he does it

91
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 5: tom tonight on a national stage, no doubt that would

92
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 5: at least change some of the conversation, maybe ease things

93
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 5: up a little bit for the Giants and for Daniel Jones,

94
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 5: their quarterback.

95
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 1: There's no question Daniel Jones has played better the past

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: two games than he did in the opener coming off

97
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: the ACL When you watch those clips right there, a

98
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: big part of it is, hey, we got number one,

99
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: and we will throw the ball to them no matter

100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: how much he's covered. Some of these are amazing catches,

101
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: but that's part of the formula here. You finally got someone,

102
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: even when he's not creating separation, that can go up

103
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 1: and win those contested catches. The Dolphins also like their

104
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: weapons that they've got around the quarterback position, but of

105
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: course they don't have the number one quarterback until the

106
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: least late October. With two a tongue by Lowell going

107
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: through the concussion protocol. They also quite poster or not

108
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: to have their number two quarterback because Skylar Thompson was

109
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: taking hits like this last week against Seattle. Thompson was

110
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: on the field at least in a limited capacity today

111
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: for practice despite what Mike mc dalie's referred to as

112
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: a very painful grim injury. So who exactly is going

113
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: to be rolling out there come Monday night against the Titans, Fike.

114
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 6: There is a a lot going on today, a lot

115
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 6: that's gone on the last forty eight hours, and you

116
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 6: kind of want to instead of wishing something into existence,

117
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 6: I'll let it play out. Well. They'll the quarterbacks that

118
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 6: will will be participating today, we'll get action and great opportunity,

119
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 6: and we'll as the week progresses. I think I'll be

120
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 6: sure to shout it from the top of a building.

121
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 6: When when we know.

122
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 2: That, does he mean that literally? It's Mike McDaniels, so

123
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: he never really can tell.

124
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: Let's we welcome in our Mike mca.

125
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: Wolf to the conversation right here. Cam.

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Obviously, last week they go with Skyler Thompson, who's the

127
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: guy who won the number two job through the course

128
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: of camp in the preseason. Now he's banged up. They

129
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: did add Tyler Snoop Huntley last week. He only had

130
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: a few days to try to learn the offense here,

131
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: but certainly seems like the door is a jar potentially

132
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: for Snoop to be the one who gets the ball

133
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: come Monday night.

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: Tom, You're absolutely right.

135
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 7: Mike McDaniel is playing the competitive advantage card. Doesn't want

136
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 7: to put his cards out for the sennence. He Titans

137
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 7: ahead of Monday too far. But Skyler Thompson was at

138
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 7: practice today. He was very limited, I'm told, not doing

139
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 7: a ton at this stage. Very painful rib injury. But

140
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 7: Mike McDaniel explained it's not just pain, it's function for him.

141
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 7: Can he move around, can he protect himself? And so

142
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 7: I definitely keep an eye on Snoop Tyler Huntley, his

143
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 7: teammates Snoop. Mike Daniel calls him Snoop, is Mama calls

144
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 7: him Tyler, but Snoop Snoop Huntley has been the backup

145
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 7: for Lamar Jackson for the Ravens for a very long

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 7: period of time. He wasn't active as the backup last

147
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 7: week because he'd only been there for a few days,

148
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 7: but Mike McDaniels said he's much more comfortable with where

149
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 7: Snoop is a week and a half here, weeks here.

150
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 7: And it's also notable that the RPO system that they run,

151
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 7: the run pass option system, has a lot of quarterback

152
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 7: run options they haven't used with Tua because Tua is

153
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 7: not a runner. You can use those with Snoop Huntley.

154
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 7: Have him run and don't change the offense. His teammates

155
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 7: have definitely been very supportive of him, Tim Boyles the

156
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 7: other quarterback. But as we get closest to the week,

157
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 7: I think you'll hear a lot more of Snoop Huntley's

158
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 7: name in regards to the Dolphins quarterback.

159
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: You know, let's be frank about this. The Dolphins offense

160
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 4: wasn't functioning at its highest level even when Tua was

161
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: in there, So it strikes me that Snoop could also

162
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: inject a little life into the offense give you know,

163
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 4: shows something different. He obviously can run the ball, and

164
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 4: I know he has not been there very long, but look,

165
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: we saw what happened in Green Bay, right. I mean,

166
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: coaches good coaches, and certainly McDaniel is one of them.

167
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: Good coaches. Can adapt id they shrink their playbook and

168
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: they come up with some plays and they run the

169
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 4: offense that way. It feels like the Dolphins offense needs

170
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: a little bit of a kickstart anyway. So this just

171
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: makes sense if Snoop is, you know, at least somewhat

172
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: ready to go, and certainly Skuyler appears to be impaired

173
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: by the rib injury. I don't know why you wouldn't

174
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 4: at least try with Snoop to inject a little life

175
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: into an offense that was struggling even when Tua.

176
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: Was in there.

177
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's an interesting pairing because Snoop Huntley, when

178
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: I covered him when he was with the Ravens, they

179
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: loved his ability to study up, put in the extra work,

180
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: understand the system, and do what they needed to do

181
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: to kind of run that offense. But that wasn't a

182
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: dynamic He wasn't a dynamic quarterback. You weren't looking for

183
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: him to throw two hundred and fifty to three hundred

184
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: yards and four touchdowns. And this is an offense that

185
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: when it's running and when it's at its best, it

186
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: is explosive. So how do you kind of dial that

187
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: down and make sure that you just play the smartest

188
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: football possible and you just remain in control and hope

189
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: that your defense steps up and can do kind of

190
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 3: what Green Bay has done with Malik Willis there understanding that, hey,

191
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: we gotta play a little bit better on this side

192
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: of the ball. You need your defense to do that

193
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: if you're the Dolphins. So I don't see that explosive

194
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: as I think Cam, what you're talking about. You kind

195
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: of utilize his legs a little bit more and bring

196
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: that element in your offense, and maybe that's something that

197
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: they haven't seen, opponents haven't seen enough of it. You

198
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: try to just take advantage of that if Huntley winds

199
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: up being the guy.

200
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Another important point here, I think is that when you're

201
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: talking about a franchise quarterback like Tua, you expect that guy,

202
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: particularly when.

203
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: You're paying him fifty three.

204
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Million dollars a year, to elevate the level of people

205
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: around him. With backup quarterbacks, by and large, you need

206
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: those other people to elevate the quarterback. Here, Tyreek Hill

207
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: didn't play his best last week. Jeelan Waddle didn't play

208
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: his best last week. Where they call him Tyler, you

209
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: call him Snoop. I call him a former Pro Bowl quarterback.

210
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: Those guys are going to have to step up for

211
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins to have a chance this week.

212
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: Cam, Thank you very much. Look forward to chatting with

213
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: you again soon.

214
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: Other side of this matchup, we also got I want

215
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: to call it quarterback drama, but at least a quarterback question.

216
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: Because Will Levis keeps doing things like this once or

217
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: twice a game. There's a lot of good will Levis,

218
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: there's also a lot of I don't know, strange stuff

219
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: that has various people cursing on the sideline about exactly

220
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: what he's attempting to accomplish here.

221
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: I have not gotten any sense.

222
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: As we welcome Ian Rapaport back to the conversation that

223
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: this is Will Levis is one turnover away from being bench.

224
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: They know that they need him to play better, but

225
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: they have to play better as a collective unit. What

226
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: do you anticipate here, Ian, going into a pretty high

227
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: profile game on Monday night.

228
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, and I think the high profile nature of

229
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 5: this game, Tom does I don't know about change things,

230
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 5: but it certainly does bring the national spotlight on some

231
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 5: of the issues that Will Levis has had. He is

232
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 5: very talented inside the organization. They really like him a lot,

233
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 5: believe he can be a franchise guy. And if you

234
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 5: take out so many of those plays we just saw

235
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 5: right there, then you would think he is a franchise guy.

236
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: But taking out those plays is exactly what they want.

237
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 5: So when you talk about the leash of Will Levis,

238
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 5: it's not like a Kenny played down in and down out.

239
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: They believe he can he can move the offense.

240
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 5: You can find DeAndre Hopkins as he has i would say,

241
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 5: mostly last week, and want to get him more involved

242
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: this week.

243
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: All those things you like a lot.

244
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: It's if he keeps making the same mistake that will

245
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 5: make Brian Callahan, the new head coach, say those kinds

246
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 5: of exquatives that he said right on the sideline when

247
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: the camera was right in his face, which I'm not

248
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 5: going to go over again, but we know what he said.

249
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 5: If he's got some more of those moments, that would

250
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 5: be to me, the only thing that would make them

251
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 5: not this week, but eventually say you know what, this

252
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 5: is not getting better. It's those oh no, moments that

253
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 5: Will Levis has to cut down. If he does a

254
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 5: little bit of that, then it seems like he's going

255
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 5: to be fine.

256
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: So I was at that game.

257
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 4: That game was at the Jets when the camera was

258
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: right on Callahan and he said a few things.

259
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: After you know what he said, will Levis made.

260
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: A bad play. I could figure out what he said

261
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 4: from the press box. But anyway, what you mentioned before

262
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: is also true. There were some plays where you were like, huh, okay,

263
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: pretty good play. So he's got it in there, and

264
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: I think Callahan has been also been careful to say

265
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: what drives him crazy is the repeated mistakes, the things

266
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 4: that he has done before and they've tried to get

267
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 4: him out of doing, and then he keeps making the

268
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: same mistake. That's what drives him crazy. He's made a

269
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: point of saying though some of the interceptions where he's

270
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: trying to make a play, like he's not going to

271
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 4: fault him for that. And he's also been careful to

272
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 4: say other players around him have to play better too,

273
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 4: like the team has to play and raise their level

274
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: to support him. So I think he's got a little

275
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: bit more time, but certainly those repeated mistakes.

276
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: Are what they've got to stop.

277
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: Listen, you're minus seven in the turnover battle and you

278
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: have two blocked punts.

279
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: In the first three games.

280
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of teams that are going to

281
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: overcome that and win football games. So defense, hit the ball,

282
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: offense not giving the ball away, and special teams please don't.

283
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: Screw it up.

284
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: It's a lot to ask, but it is a relatively

285
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: simple type of a formula. We focus a lot, of

286
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: course on the quarterbacks. That's going to be the case

287
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, where as Ian reported a couple of

288
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: days ago, Gardner Minshew remains the starting quarterback despite a

289
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: let's call it a bumpy game last week for the

290
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: Raiders as a whole against the Panthers coming off of

291
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: a big program type week win the fall the previous week,

292
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: rather against the Baltimore Ravens.

293
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: In terms of Gardner Minshew and how.

294
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: Long he can hold on to this job, Mike, what's

295
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: your read at this stage?

296
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: I didn't get the sense that it was ever really

297
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: close this past week. As far as Antonio Pears deciding

298
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: or at least mulling a possible quarterback change. He said

299
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: that press conference he said he needed to go watch

300
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: the film, and folks took it to mean like, oh,

301
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: he must be mulling a quarterback and he's like, no,

302
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: he just really wanted to kind of go through everything

303
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: and make sure that everything was understood from the standpoint

304
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 3: of what the quarterbacks were doing and what he and

305
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: the coaching staff wanted them to do. But that said,

306
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: if you get another game here where they're flat and

307
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: Minshew makes mistakes, I think then we're going to be

308
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: closer to them making the move to aid and O'Connell.

309
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: I mean, look, Aidan O'Connell played some decent football last

310
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: year for the Las Vegas Raiders, which helped Antonio Pierce

311
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: get the job because they played winning football down the stretch.

312
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: So I'm sure I know he has that in the

313
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: back of his head he wanted We talked to him

314
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: during training camp. Pierce when we were there about o'connelly

315
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: said he wanted him to become more assertive and let

316
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: other folks hear him. So I know he feels good

317
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: about the strides that he's made in that area. So potentially,

318
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: if Minshew doesn't play well this week, we could be

319
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: having that conversation about a switch to O'Connell.

320
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 4: I think what makes both of these situations in Tennessee

321
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 4: and in Las Vegas interesting is these are first time

322
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: head coaches, so we have no track record to go

323
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 4: on how they would handle frustration with quarterbacks. What did

324
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 4: they think? What is their philosophy in the heat of

325
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: the moment about changing a quarterback. I do think Antonio

326
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 4: appears this week. I agree with you. I don't think

327
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: it was ever really closed. That sounded like a heat

328
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: of the moment frustration thing. Remember that was when he

329
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 4: was talking about there were some players who had made

330
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 4: business decisions in last week's game. He sounded upset, and

331
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: then he came back immediately the next day and said, no,

332
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: it's Pardner Minshew. So it didn't seem to be a

333
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 4: real decision this week. I think I think it's entirely

334
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: possible that at some point it could be a real decision,

335
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 4: though certainly they can't keep playing games like they played

336
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 4: last week. And then I think Antonio appears is the

337
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: kind of coach who would say, listen, we got to

338
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: try something different here because you can't keep doing the

339
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: same thing and expect the same results.

340
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: More quarterback questions once again in Green Bay, where we've

341
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: been tackling this for a few weeks now, and Love

342
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: officially limited again in practice today. Is he continues to

343
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: make his way back from the MCL Spring Friday. Tomorrow

344
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: will mark three weeks since the injury, which originally had

345
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: a timetable of three to six weeks made. Lafleur is

346
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: still saying once again they intend to take this all

347
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: the way up until Sunday to give Jordan Love a

348
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: chance to play, if not to mean Milik Willis, who.

349
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: Is two to zero as the starter.

350
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the Saints have all kinds of injury issues, including

351
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: this guy popping up on the report this week. Alvin Kamara.

352
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: He's got a hip pointer, he's got a rib thing

353
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: going on. Didn't practice Wednesday, was back on the field,

354
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: officially listed as limited on the injury report that the

355
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Saints released just a few minutes ago. Here, Ian, what

356
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: do you hear on Kamara? And what do you make

357
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: of what is a lot of big names on that

358
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: Saints injury report this week?

359
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well let's start with the Kamara part.

360
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 5: It does seem to be that he's more banged up

361
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: than anything else. Not that he's not injured, but I'm

362
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 5: just saying the kind of thing where he'll probably be

363
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 5: able to get out there on Sunday. Missed yesterday's practice,

364
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 5: back there today on a limited basis, dealing with the

365
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 5: hit pointer. You mentioned it also ribs and he got

366
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 5: popped pretty good last week. I don't know which one,

367
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 5: which specific tackle the rib injury happened on, but there's

368
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 5: probably about three of them that I could point to.

369
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 5: But that's not all because as Mike mentioned earlier in

370
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 5: the week, he got the Eric McCoy injury, and he

371
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 5: is not a household name, but a really really good player.

372
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: He got Caesar Ruiz.

373
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 5: They're longtime guard who may not play this week after getting.

374
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: His knee drained.

375
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 5: Those are two really good offensive line that may be

376
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 5: playing without. Plus you got Tomorrow Davis. Obviously he's missed

377
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 5: some time and practice. The Saints are coming off the

378
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 5: first loss this season after a really feel good first

379
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 5: two weeks. Now they have to deal with some injuries

380
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 5: that may significantly impact their run.

381
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: Game if you're scoring at home.

382
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Yes, we just hit the over on Eric McCoy references

383
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: for the.

384
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: Week, all right. Other injury notes in this one obviously

385
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: will always take you over.

386
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert once again dealing with the high ankle spring

387
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: and he suffered a couple of weeks ago, aggravate some.

388
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: Of these hits against Pittsburgh.

389
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: What's Herbert saying now about his status for this week 'scuss?

390
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: It next on the inside, and there were five the

391
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: surprising Vikings, the Seahawks under new coach Mike McDonald, the

392
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers doing it with defense, the Bills, and yes,

393
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: once again the Kansas City Chiefs wanted just five teams

394
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: that have gotten off to a three and oher start

395
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: in this season. As walking you back to the insiders,

396
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm Tom Pelicero, that is Steve Whitch and that is

397
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: Mark Ross. Steve, let's talk about those Chiefs because Patrick

398
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: Mahomes said it this week that listen, they haven't played

399
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: their best. Mahomes doesn't feel like he's played his best.

400
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: And Travis Kelcey at times you've wondered is he out there?

401
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Is he actually dancing on stage in Australia for entire

402
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: quarters at a time. What do you make of what's

403
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: happening right now with that offense and really limited touches

404
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: so far for Travis.

405
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 8: Kilt Yeah, look, I think it's work in progress with

406
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 8: this offense. When you watch exactly what's going on, there

407
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 8: are times when Kelsey is opened, but Mahomes has thrown

408
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 8: it to Rashi Rice or some other people, whether it's

409
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 8: because Rice was the primary target or because there was

410
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 8: pressure on Mahomes. But this week they're playing a Chargers

411
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 8: defense that has been excellent against tight ends over the

412
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 8: first three weeks. But uh oh, Mark, they don't have

413
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 8: Derwin James. They don't have the guy who's typically their

414
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 8: primary stopper.

415
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: Against tight ends.

416
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 8: Now, the Chargers play a lot of man to man coverages,

417
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 8: it's going to be interesting to see if they try

418
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 8: to zone things up without Derwin James their ultimate chess piece,

419
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 8: because we do know that Kelsey is a premier zone

420
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 8: beater and that could be something that opens up the

421
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 8: door for Mahomes to get the.

422
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: Ball to him. No question, Steve.

423
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 9: It always seems as if the Chiefs are just almost

424
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 9: ready to explode. And we're talking about how much they're struggling,

425
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 9: and they're eighth in the league in scoring.

426
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: Right, what's going offense take off?

427
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 9: As you said there, that's always the potential with Kelsey

428
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 9: this week and with Mahome to get unlocked and with

429
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 9: Andy Reid putting it all together. So despite all of

430
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 9: the worries about it, they're still right there the top

431
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 9: ten and scoring, and it's always that potential, of course,

432
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 9: but Checko maybe out this week, so they'll find other

433
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 9: ways to do it, and no better way, as you

434
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 9: mentioned against this Chargers team that's completely banged up, and

435
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 9: they could get out and just really be this game

436
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 9: for them to break out. But whenever you have Mahomes,

437
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 9: whenever you have Andy Reid, it's always there lurking. And

438
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 9: as bad as last year we talked about how they

439
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 9: didn't do anything, will they go win the Super Bowl?

440
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 9: Now we're right back at it again talking about they're

441
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 9: not playing good. They're just undefeated and still doing chief things.

442
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 9: So the margin for error there for them, and the

443
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 9: expectations are so high that we just have to give

444
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 9: them the benefit of the doubt.

445
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: At this point, they're just going to go win.

446
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: Flip side of things, obviously, will be keeping a close

447
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: eye on Justin Herbert as he once again goes through

448
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: treatment for.

449
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: That high ankle spreen. He got himself on the field week.

450
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: Steve didn't look entirely like himself, but still made a

451
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: lot of players, so he starts getting hitting the third

452
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: quarter head to come out of that game. The good

453
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: news for the Chargers, whatever they have out there at quarterback,

454
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: they've shown that they can establish that running game, including

455
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: with the guy that we really haven't seen a whole

456
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: lot of over the past couple of years.

457
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, they shown that they can establish it,

458
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 8: and they shown they're going to commit to it. I mean,

459
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 8: this is a team that's running the ball thirty times

460
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 8: a game, but they are going to be without they

461
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 8: could be without both of their tackles Joe Alton right

462
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 8: tackle and ray Shawn Slater at left tackle. And they're

463
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 8: playing the Chiefs defensive front that hasn't been great but

464
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 8: good enough. Right This is not necessarily a great run

465
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 8: defense as of right now. But without those two tackles,

466
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 8: you can see guys like Nick Bolton linebacker and Chris

467
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 8: Jones giving them problems. But as you're seeing right here,

468
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 8: the Chargers believe with Greg Roman calling plays, they're going

469
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 8: to chip, chip, chip away until eventually the damn breaks.

470
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: That is their identity mark. So even if Justin Herbert is.

471
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 8: Or is not a quarterback, they're going to run the

472
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 8: ball to take the pressure at whomever is behind center.

473
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 9: Well, Steve, Yeah, they just can't get behind, so they

474
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 9: get behind and then they completely come out of that.

475
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 9: So the Chiefs go down and the score and okay,

476
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 9: now it changes the whole philosophy of what you're trying

477
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 9: to do. And with the two tackles being hurt there

478
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 9: and Justin Herbert being banged up, this is when all

479
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 9: week the head coach, the GM, your head trader and

480
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 9: doctors are saying, do we really to have Justin Herbert

481
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 9: out there against this Chiefs deed without his top two

482
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 9: tackles for this Steve Spagnola come there with all angles

483
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 9: blitzing him and save him from himself, because you know

484
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 9: if he's out there, he's going to give it his all.

485
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 9: But do you really want him out there? So there's

486
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 9: a lot of discussions from the brain trust. There were

487
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 9: the charges do we want our guy out there? But

488
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 9: you know they cannot get down and you mentioned the

489
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 9: Chiefs run dye, but they're only giving up three point

490
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 9: two yards per carry. So if the Charger are going

491
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 9: to grind it out, grind it out, grind it out

492
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 9: and try to commit to it, if Herbert's not in there,

493
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 9: they're really going to have to commit, as you said, Steve.

494
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: And they can't get now, and I don't know about

495
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: this one. For these guys.

496
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 9: All those injuries is just tallied up for the charges.

497
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: This could get scared.

498
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 8: They always played tough man regardless. It's always a tough

499
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 8: game between these two.

500
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: All right, stick around, Steve Mark, more from you guys

501
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: in just a little bit for now.

502
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: Here's Judy.

503
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about this game, shall we. The

504
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 4: Ravens and the Bills, both teams coming off really strong

505
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 4: performances last week. The Ravens are going to wear those

506
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 4: very cool looking uniforms.

507
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: I like it a lot.

508
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: Let's bring in Mike back from the stadium and our

509
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 4: friend Brian Baldinger to talk about this game. Baldy, let's

510
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 4: start with you, because again, these teams both did what

511
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 4: they do best on offense last week. Right, the Ravens

512
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 4: were running it and running it and running it against

513
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, and of course Josh Allen was absolutely masterful.

514
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 4: What do you expect this week?

515
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 10: I expect a lot of the same Buffalo right now,

516
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 10: they might have the best offense line in football. Spencer

517
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 10: Brown at right tackle has been beaten. He made Trayvon

518
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 10: Walker look like he was a backup player last week.

519
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 10: Dion Dawkins. They got bigger at center Connor McGovern. Their

520
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 10: offense lines playing great, and it's really helped out Josh

521
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 10: Allen when he finds the guy like Dalton k and

522
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 10: Kate in the back of the end zone or they

523
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 10: don't cover the middle and he just takes off four

524
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 10: it on third down. He's getting plenty of time. And

525
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 10: the Ravens secondary has not played well at all, Judy,

526
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 10: I don't know if it's because Mike McDonald's gone, Zach

527
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 10: Worer has taken over, but they haven't played well in

528
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 10: the back end. And if you give Josh Allen time, he's

529
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 10: going to find a way. Last week, Dallas acted like

530
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 10: they had never seen a read option in their life.

531
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 10: And so if you look at what Baltimore did, I

532
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 10: mean that's their game plan. You can draw the run

533
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 10: game up. It's five plays and now they're very good

534
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 10: at those five plays. But if you give a Hall

535
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 10: of Fame running back Derrick Henry the big gap, he's.

536
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: Going to find the big gap.

537
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 10: Dallas gave it to them all game that Buffalo's much

538
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 10: more sound defensively than what Dallas showed last week. They're

539
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 10: much more disciplined. You've got to earn your yards against

540
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 10: the Buffalo defense. You're not gonna get it over the top.

541
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 10: I don't care who's playing safety tomorrow, Hamling, it doesn't matter.

542
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 10: You gotta be patient and you got to work underneath.

543
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 10: And that's what I think Lamar Jackson is going to

544
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 10: be forced to do in this game. I like the

545
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 10: way Buffalo is playing, though, Judy, both sides of the ball.

546
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 10: They look very well coached, and they don't fool around

547
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 10: with teams. They put Jacksonville away in that first half

548
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 10: and they never really allowed them to get into the game.

549
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this Ravens offensive line baldy early in the season.

550
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: Earlier in the season.

551
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: I mean we're still early in the season, but earlier

552
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: in the season, we were talking about how there's a

553
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 3: couple of moving parts there and not the same kind

554
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 3: of continuity that we had seen from this Ravens offensive

555
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: line before. The Ravens understood that. The Ravens understand that

556
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: it's going to take some time for that chemistry to

557
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 3: be built and for it to get to where it

558
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: we're used to seeing the Ravens offensive line. So you

559
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: saw these guys dictating things more. You saw the way

560
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: that they were communicating upfront. It was evident, and so

561
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, if you've gotten that. I mean,

562
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: we could talk about who you got in the backfield

563
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 3: with the power of Derek Henry and the speed of

564
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. That's fine, but unless your offensive line is

565
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: doing what they need to do to take care of

566
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 3: things upfront, you're not gonna be able to be effective.

567
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 3: They were much more effective upfront and dictating things. I

568
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: think that is the world of difference with the Baltimore

569
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: Ravens as we head in the Week four.

570
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 4: This is an early season game, but I feel like

571
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 4: this is one of those games that when we're looking

572
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: at the AFC playoff field much later, we're going to

573
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 4: look back on this game as being really significant. Certainly,

574
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 4: we expect these two teams to be somewhere in the

575
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 4: AFC playoff field. Mike, thank you, Baldy. Do not go

576
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: very far, because we're going to talk about this game too.

577
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 4: Steelers Colts someday afternoon. Steelers are undefeated. I'm not sure

578
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 4: we expected to be saying that, and I really wasn't

579
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 4: sure we were going to be saying that. Justin fields

580
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 4: appears to be solidifying his hold on the starting quarterback

581
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 4: job with each week, and we bring in Cam wolf Camp,

582
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 4: let's talk about Justin Fields because he has been maybe

583
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: more than anybody expected. I was at training camp when

584
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson was injured and Justin Fields was out there

585
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 4: and they really liked what they saw. But at that

586
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 4: time it app here it's going to be Russell Wilson's job,

587
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 4: and now it appears to be very much Justin Field's job.

588
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 7: Neudy, We're heading to another week of Justin Fields starting

589
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 7: that quarterback. Mike Tomlin wouldn't name him the official QB

590
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 7: one because it's not needed where Russell Wilson still recovering

591
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 7: from that calf injury. But you can't lose a job

592
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 7: if you don't lose, right, and Justin Fields is leading

593
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 7: this team to three and zero. They've really played the

594
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 7: type of football that Mike Tomlin and the Steelers want

595
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 7: to play. One of his Tomlin in islms this week was,

596
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 7: we don't have a lucky rabbit foot in our pocket.

597
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 7: You know they're not They're not doing this. They're doing

598
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 7: it because it's there's file of play. There are number

599
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 7: one defensive football giving up about eight point seven points

600
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 7: per game, and Justin Field is playing within himself. His

601
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 7: sack rate, his interception rate, and his time to throw

602
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 7: is the lowest of his career, so he is.

603
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: Taking care of the ball.

604
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 7: He's not extending plays as much, creating those negative plays,

605
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 7: and they're okay with field goals offensively because they know

606
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 7: their defense is going to hold them intact. I talked

607
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 7: to Patrick Queen, their linebacker today. He said, physical and

608
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 7: relentless is.

609
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: Who we are, and baldy.

610
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 7: As we see offensive scoring go down in the league,

611
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 7: I wonder if teams like the Steelers with their physical

612
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 7: defense ends up being the teams that benefit from that.

613
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 7: The physicality and the relentless has definitely shown through three weeks.

614
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 10: You know, it hadn't come together for Pittsburgh offensively yet,

615
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 10: but you've given up twenty six points in three games defensively.

616
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's enough.

617
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 10: My favorite player on the Steelers is the rookie center

618
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 10: Zach Frazier. He has more knockdowns and they scored points

619
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 10: this year. Like if you just watched them in fifty

620
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 10: four play football, you're going to be entertained. The guy,

621
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 10: in fact, I nicknamed him instead of Zach Fraser. He's

622
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 10: Matt Fraser because he can't wait to take the opponent

623
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 10: to the mat where he does his.

624
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: Best work and it's fun.

625
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 10: But I do think Justin Fields, I'm waiting for him

626
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 10: to really come out with some splash plays. He hasn't

627
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 10: had to do it, but he's more than capable of

628
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 10: doing it. Like I want to see him like almost

629
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 10: be unleashed here. I know he does want to make

630
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 10: a mistake and that's probably what he's being told, but

631
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 10: he has an unbelievable talent. I feel like this week

632
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 10: is a week where you're gonna see some of it.

633
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 10: We know that Indianapolis right now, like Anthony Richardson is

634
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 10: like he's gonna give you two. He's gonna give you two.

635
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 10: And Pittsburgh's waiting on him because he's gonna throw it up.

636
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 10: He's gonna he's gonna sail balls. He's been doing it

637
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 10: since week one. He's got to catch him. And I

638
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 10: think Pittsburgh's just sitting back there. Every defensive back is

639
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 10: sitting back there, going it's coming our way. Let's be

640
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 10: ready when it does. Because that as much as they

641
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 10: want to get Jonathan Taylor going and lean on the

642
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 10: run game and everything. You can't just do that. You

643
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 10: have to be able to throw it and throw it effectively.

644
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 10: They haven't been good at it, and so I think

645
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 10: this is a Pittsburgh Steeler game. But I think justin Fields,

646
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 10: I think we're going to see a big game from

647
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 10: him because his ability to create plays and run with

648
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 10: the ball. We haven't really seen that yet, and I

649
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 10: think this is the week it's going to break out.

650
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 4: We did see that occasionally in Chicago. You're right, we

651
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 4: have not yet seen it yet in Pittsburgh. But they're

652
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 4: three and oh so whatever they're doing and whatever they're

653
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 4: telling him to do is startly working.

654
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: Cam Baldy, thanks very much.

655
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: And when we return on The Insiders, we're going to

656
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: talk about Aaron Rodgers. He had a pretty good week.

657
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 4: The Jet had a really good week, won their last

658
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: two games. Things are on the upswing for the New

659
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 4: York Jets. We'll talk about it when we come back.

660
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: Some injury updates around the NFL start with Bear's rocky

661
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver ro Ome doone'sday a game last week, limited

662
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: today in practice because of a hip injury that popped

663
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: up on the injury report. So another one to monitor there,

664
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: with Tenan Allen returning to practice on a limited basis

665
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: himself as he deals with that problematic heel Falvin turning

666
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: back b Jon Robinson also, in addition to the injury

667
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: report today listed because of a shoulder he too limited.

668
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: Lions tight end Sam Laporter, we knew had an ankle

669
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: spraying coming out of the game last week, did not

670
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday. Remember that's a Monday night game against

671
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, so keep an eye on that one in

672
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: the coming days. Here, maybe a little bit of good news,

673
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: let's be something different for the forty nine ers. Wide

674
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: receiver Deebo Samuel, who got hurt on that play week

675
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: two against the Vikings, did not play week three. Kyle

676
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: Shannan has said he expected Devo to miss a couple

677
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: of games. Well, the fact that Debo's at least starting

678
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: to get back out onto the practice field today a

679
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: good sign that maybe, just maybe he might even only

680
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: get back after missing one game.

681
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: As for the rest of the Chicago Bears, they take

682
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: on the Rams.

683
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: This week, who don't want to hear anything about anybody

684
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: else's injuries. A good match of Matthew Stafford, Caleb Williams,

685
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: and a Bears offense that is trying right now to

686
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: find gets footy. Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Peliicero

687
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: joined by Steve White. Steve that Bears offense, it has

688
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: been bumpy. We've seen Caleb Williams make some of those

689
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: special players. We've also seen a lot of times where

690
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: it just doesn't look like the rhythm is there. What

691
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: have you seen and heard about how they're to try

692
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: to get this thing on track?

693
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 8: Well, first I was on the Bears keep on digging

694
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 8: themselves a hole in the first halves of the first

695
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 8: three games. They only have thirteen points where's their opponents

696
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 8: have forty, So that limits their ability to run the football.

697
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 8: As you saw Caleb Williams after the Colts games answer

698
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 8: the question postgames thing, I threw it fifty two times.

699
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 8: That's the position this offense keeps putting itself in by

700
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 8: failing to execute in moments like this when they get

701
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 8: down close to the goal line consistently. So this something

702
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 8: where they're playing a defense. Now the Rams are giving

703
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 8: up four hundred and twenty five yards a game. They

704
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 8: are not good stopping the run. But this is where

705
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 8: the Bears have got to try to establish the run,

706
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 8: regardless of how successful it is early, They've got to

707
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 8: keep chipping away to keep the Rams offense off the field,

708
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 8: but to also get some type of rhythm.

709
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 7: Tom.

710
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 8: They cannot ask a rookie quarterback, regardless of someone as

711
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 8: talented as Caleb Williams, to be throwing the ball forty

712
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 8: times a game, which is his average over those first

713
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 8: three games.

714
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: I mentioned those Rams injuries here.

715
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: They've lost a lot of offensive line, but also the

716
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers. No Pukin Nakuah, he's on ir Cooper Cup again,

717
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: already ruled out by Sean McVay.

718
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: For this game.

719
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: How are they going to use those other receivers to

720
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: try to generate some offense against the pretty good Bears? D?

721
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you're talking about guys like Tyler Johnson,

722
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 8: a two two out well and Tamarcus Robinson against as

723
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 8: you mentioned this, D, I mean, the Bears have thirteen sacks.

724
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 8: We know how good that secondary is, so this is

725
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 8: going to be a quick passing game. The majority of

726
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 8: what's left of the Rams receiving corps is an intermediate

727
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 8: type catch and move the sticks passing game, so you're

728
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 8: probably gonna see a lot of quick throws, try to

729
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 8: do some things in a run game to open up

730
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 8: the middle of the defense because Sean McVay loves those

731
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 8: crossing routes. You better believe Shane Waldron is prepping his

732
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 8: defense for this because Shane Walton cut his teeth for

733
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 8: five years on Sean mcvay's staff with the Rams, going

734
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 8: from tight ends coach to passing game coordinator, so he

735
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 8: knows the principles there. So we'll see if the Rams,

736
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 8: knowing that the Bears do have an insider with the

737
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 8: scheming of this offense, if they can get some things

738
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 8: going in the passing game. You know, Kyron Williams though,

739
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 8: has been the Rams special ace, the running back who

740
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 8: can also catch the ball. That's someone to look out

741
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 8: for to try to break some some headway through this

742
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 8: Bears defense.

743
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: Seeve, Thank you very much, look forward to chatting with

744
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: you again soon.

745
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 2: Week four.

746
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: Kicking off in the NFL tonight, it'ch the Cowboys, It's

747
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: the Giants. Can Dak Prescotten company get themselves on track?

748
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: More on that game and a lot more next on

749
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: the Insiders.

750
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 5: Jets Broncos this week, as that very catchy social media

751
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 5: thing shows us. Now, if you'd asked me a week ago,

752
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 5: I would have.

753
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: Said this game was kind of what do the kids say?

754
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 5: Mid Then bo Knicks came out and played really, really well.

755
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 5: Last week Jets seemed to be having a rolling. This

756
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 5: game actually is kind of good. So what do the

757
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 5: Jets need to do to replicate that success?

758
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: Let's ask Aaron Rodgers for what.

759
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 11: I go back to this quote a lot, but Mike

760
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 11: McCarthy said our biggest our biggest struggle is going to

761
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 11: be handling success back in two thousand and six in

762
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 11: Green Bay, and there's a lot to that. I think.

763
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 11: You know, when it's easier when you're kind of getting

764
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 11: kicked in the teeth to kind of come together. It's

765
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 11: us against the world, it's us against the big bad

766
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 11: media who's saying how bad we are. You know, we

767
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 11: can kind of come together, But can you still come

768
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 11: together and have the same approach when everybody's kind of

769
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 11: starting to sing your praises a little bit? I think

770
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 11: that's the mark of a great team is can you

771
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 11: handle the success part with the same focus, the same mentality,

772
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 11: the same mindset, the same energy. When you're starting to

773
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 11: get on a little bit of a role.

774
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 5: Speaking of big bad media, Welcome back to the Insiders.

775
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 5: Ian Rappaport, Judy Batista, Brian Baldinger. Now, if one person

776
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 5: is kicking in teeth of anyone, it's not me or you, Judy,

777
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 5: it is Baldy, of course, as we know by the way,

778
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 5: Baldy calling this game on radio this week. So Baldy,

779
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 5: let's get into a little bit. Let's talk about Aaron

780
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 5: Rodgers and really what this Jets offense has showed us

781
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 5: and what they need to continue to show us going forward.

782
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 10: Well, it's improved every week and in their last game,

783
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 10: you know, against Newingland last Thursday, we saw great movement

784
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 10: from Aaron Rodgers, the ability to escape the rush, make

785
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 10: great plays on the move, and so that's refreshing. I

786
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 10: think Aaron Judy, we talked to him in preseason. He

787
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 10: was still not sure if he was all the way back,

788
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 10: but he did look at it. The guy I think

789
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 10: that is really going to have a game is Brice Hall.

790
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 10: Like I'm waiting for him to break out. He is

791
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 10: a home run hitter. He has played great against Denver.

792
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 10: He got hurt against Denver as a rookie, missed the

793
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 10: rest of the season, came back last year, had his

794
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 10: best game ever against the Broncos. And the Broncos are

795
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 10: minus their middle linebacker Alex Singleton. He's the leading tackler,

796
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 10: has been their leading tackler for years.

797
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: He's done for the season.

798
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 10: I expect Aaron Rodgers to help get Breece Hall going.

799
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 10: I think that's the guy right now that is this

800
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 10: offense continues to evolve. That's the guy I think that's

801
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 10: really going to break out because he's a great receiver,

802
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 10: he's a great running back, he's a great teammate, and

803
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 10: he really hadn't had a great start to the season yet.

804
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 10: And I think that's the guy they want to get

805
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 10: unleashed this weekend.

806
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 4: And Garrett Wilson, who has still not had a Garrett

807
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 4: Wilson like game. Aaron Rodgers has talked about they're still working,

808
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 4: They're still getting there to try to get exactly on

809
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 4: the same page. You see flashes of it, right You

810
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 4: see a back shoulder throw that he hits Garrett Wilson

811
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 4: with and it works, So you see that it's coming together.

812
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 4: They just have to put it together so that it

813
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 4: happens all the time. Because Garrett Wilson is obviously the

814
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 4: number one weapon. The thing I took from last week's

815
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 4: game is he's got so much of the offense involved. Right,

816
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 4: he was spreading the ball around. They rediscovered the tight end,

817
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 4: which is something they hadn't used in the first two

818
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: games of the season. So Rogers is clearly getting the

819
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 4: ball out to everybody. Certainly, Breesehall is due for an

820
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 4: explosive game, and so is Garrett Wilson. Those are the

821
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 4: two big weapons, and I think when we see those

822
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 4: two really get into form, you're really going to see

823
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 4: this offense take off.

824
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 5: God, you can just hear the breeshall fantasy owners going,

825
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 5: come on, I'm waiting three games. Of course, Brayalen Allen's like, yeah,

826
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 5: maybe I'll maybe I'll get a couple of carries myself,

827
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 5: kind of jumping the mix a little bit. Baldy, Judy,

828
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 5: thank you very much. We will talk to both of

829
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 5: you guys very soon.

830
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: Beautiful Mett Life Stadium. The sight of tonight's game, the

831
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 3: Cowboys and the Giants, I'm gonna tell you right now,

832
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: it is sneaky, muggy out here tonight. You may look

833
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: at the weather report, see the seventies and say, hey,

834
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 3: a nice crisp fall evening.

835
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: No, it is.

836
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 3: It has been muggy all day and supposedly the humidity

837
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 3: is going to rise as we get into the evening.

838
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna predict we may have a cramping IV situation.

839
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: Let's see if we get one of those with a

840
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 3: key player tonight. With that said, let's bring in Mark

841
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 3: Ross and Brian Balding here to talk about some other

842
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 3: keys to the game. Mark, I want to start with you.

843
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 3: This Giant's running game, Devin Singletary looked pretty good, and

844
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: you've got a Cowboys defense that has struggled against the run.

845
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 3: Is that one of the key matchups you're watching the night?

846
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike, of course we're going to talk about that.

847
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 9: The way the Dallas defense has gotten gashed the last

848
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 9: two weeks by the Ravens in the Saints and hen

849
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 9: the Giants exploit that, and that's the number one factor

850
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 9: for this Dallas defense for the Giants offense. And but

851
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 9: I look at the Cowboys personnel. Everybody something, they're so small,

852
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 9: they're so small. Well they're actually not. You got Michael Parking,

853
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 9: Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence up there. Osodi Zua is small,

854
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 9: but then you got Mazy Smith, the second year d

855
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,959
Speaker 9: tackle there who they drafted in the first round, who

856
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 9: is acclaimed.

857
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: As a run stoper coming out of Michigan. So this

858
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: is his game. He's got to step up.

859
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 9: He's got to start making plays in their Baldi and

860
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 9: when you've got the two guys on the edge who

861
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 9: you know are better and then conrec have it. There's

862
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 9: no reason they should be getting gashed like that. You know,

863
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 9: got to be sounding their assignments, got to play hard.

864
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 9: But they have the personnel to do it and turn

865
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 9: it around. So it'll be on incumbent on that d

866
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 9: to stop the run early and then take Elik Neighbors

867
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 9: out of the game.

868
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: The Dallas bee has to take him out of the game.

869
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 9: That you gotta be looking at the Giants offense and saying,

870
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 9: who do we have to stop? Who's their only playmaker

871
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 9: and that's Belak Neighbors. So really the number one concern

872
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 9: is stopping that guy there who has been spectacular this

873
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 9: season so far, and the number two then shut the

874
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 9: run down Baldy. So that's really a simple, simple equation.

875
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 9: But can they get it done. It's a big question.

876
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 10: Well, I would say this Mark I feel like every

877
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 10: bad habit can be fixed in an instant. And if

878
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 10: you look at the Dallas Cowboys run defense, it's a

879
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 10: bad habit. But every defense, I don't care who's calling

880
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 10: it is a gap defense, Like get in your gap.

881
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 10: See if you're don't have somebody to see gap. And

882
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 10: you got a Hall of Fame running back and Derek

883
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 10: Henry back there, he's going to find the daylight. And

884
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 10: he did last week and so did Lamar, So they

885
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 10: got to fix that. I mean, it's just run fits.

886
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 10: I mean, put blindfolds on and get in your gaps

887
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 10: and go big tackles.

888
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: That's number one. Number two.

889
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 10: I thought last week Mark that the star of the

890
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 10: Giants win in Cleveland with Shane Bowens the defensive coordinator,

891
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 10: like he brought a lot of heat against Deshan Watson.

892
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 10: And it really starts up front, of course. I mean,

893
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 10: Brian Burns had his breakout game. One matchup I'm really

894
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 10: watching tonight is Dexter Lawrence has been their best defensive

895
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 10: player and he's lined up basically on a rookie center

896
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 10: tonight in Cooper BB And if you want to impact

897
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 10: Dak Prescott, crush the pocket and Dexter has been doing

898
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 10: it for three straight years in a row. I think

899
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 10: he's playing great football. I want to see the Cowboys

900
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 10: interior right here, see what they have for Dexter Lawrence

901
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 10: upfront because he has been abusing offensive lines all season

902
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 10: and getting to the quarterback. I kind of want to

903
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 10: see that one last thing. Michaeh Parsons has wrecked this

904
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 10: Giants offense six straight games in a row. If you

905
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 10: don't have an answer for him, he will ruin it.

906
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 10: And so I want to kind of see what Brian

907
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 10: Dable and his staff do to sort of limit what

908
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 10: Micah does. He's won six in a row against the Giants,

909
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 10: it hasn't been close. They got to take care of

910
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 10: number eleven tonight.

911
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 3: Paul, do you talked about Derek Dexter Lawrence creating havoc upfront.

912
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 3: That's gonna be of the utmost importance for the Giants

913
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: because they're banged up in the second adri Jackson.

914
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 2: Will not play.

915
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 3: Drew Phillips also will not play. Phillips have been playing well.

916
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 3: They were really impressed with him, which means that Nick

917
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 3: McLeod coming back is gonna have to be a big

918
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: part of that secondary Mark I talked about Ceedee Lamb

919
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 3: earlier in the game, that frustration that he showed the

920
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: other day and vowing to have better energy tonight. What

921
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 3: do the Cowboys do or how did the I can

922
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 3: flip it the other way? How did the Giants possibly

923
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: slow him down tonight with that banged up secondary?

924
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 9: Oh baldly alluded to the front there, Dexter Lawrence, and

925
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 9: I'll take it one step further, the rookie left tackle

926
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 9: Tyler Geyiton as well. So Brian Burns, you paid all

927
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 9: that money to get there, and Tibodeau you better take

928
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 9: advantage of him and Mike you're there in the east.

929
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 9: Brutherford there, do you remember the Winston Justice Eagles rookie

930
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 9: game there.

931
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: When oc hash Yeah, two thousand sacks and that that

932
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 2: Monday Sunday night game.

933
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 9: I believe where the Giants d will be looking at

934
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 9: sort of have that sort of impact against Tyler Geyiton,

935
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 9: And of course you gotta look keep all.

936
00:43:59,320 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 2: Eyes on CD.

937
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 9: But Dak has shown he can go other places with

938
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 9: the ball, But it all starts up front. And those

939
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 9: edge guys that they paid a ton of money to

940
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 9: and took so high, they really have to take advantage

941
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 9: of that young, inexperienced Dallas offensive line in order to

942
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 9: get things going and control the ball on the other side.

943
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: Baldy.

944
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 10: Yeah, look, Mark, I mean that's you know, that was

945
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 10: what they did last week really really well. They fell

946
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 10: behind early, but they kept him in the game and

947
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 10: then they won the game ultimately with those eight sacks,

948
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 10: fifteen quarterback hits and they were relentless. And that'd be

949
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 10: a good formula tonight, especially as you alluded to Mike

950
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 10: and how banged up they are in the secondary, that

951
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 10: could cover some things up. I do think that we

952
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 10: do have to give special mention tonight to Malite neighbors.

953
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 10: He's second the league in receptions. Right now, everybody knows

954
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 10: the offense is going through him. Daniel Jones, I thought,

955
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 10: for the first time all year, really saw the field

956
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 10: very well. Didn't force it to Malik last week, even

957
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 10: though he had the two touchdown catches. I thought Wandale

958
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 10: got his Slayton cut a third down single. Terry's an

959
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 10: excellent receiver. If they can block up front pretty well tonight,

960
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 10: I would think that Daniel Jones has a chance to

961
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 10: be pretty good and throwing the ball, especially with Malik

962
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 10: because I think it's his first big national stage to

963
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 10: just see just how talented this guys. Remember last week, Mark,

964
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 10: it's fourth to one in the first quarter, and they

965
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 10: ran a fly sweep to Malik and they just said,

966
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 10: the hell with what Cleveland's got up front, We'll just

967
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 10: take our chances with the rookie. He got him two

968
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 10: yards sustain the offense like he's special, and I have

969
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 10: a feeling he might look like that tonight.

970
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 3: He's special athletically and talking to giants folks.

971
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: They said.

972
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 3: He also can retain a lot of information, so he's

973
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 3: able to play a number of different spots they can move.

974
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 3: That's why his targets have been so high, because he's

975
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 3: all over the place doing a bunch of different things.

976
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 3: So they're very pleased with the early returns on Malik

977
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 3: Neighbors Baldy, Mark Ross, thank you very much. You are

1002
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 2: Easy for me to say.

1003
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: At the Colisseum, of course, the Raiders called that building

1004
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: home for a long time. Judy Battiste, your favorite Oakland

1005
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: Coliseum memory.

1006
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 4: One that stands out is I covered a jetscheme there

1007
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 4: and something had happened, news had broken and her Edwards

1008
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 4: had to talk to the reporters before the game and

1009
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 4: we went into like a hallway that the roof had leaked.

1010
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 4: It was kind of a mess. I mean, look, the

1011
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 4: stadium has been falling apart for a long time, but

1012
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 4: it's really sad to see that there's not going to

1013
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 4: be any team playing in the city of Oakland anymore.

1014
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: That stinks, Mike. Do you make it to the coliseum?

1015
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 2: I did.

1016
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 3: I did New Year's Eve two thousand and five Giants Raiders.

1017
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 3: The Giants clinched the NFC East and then flew back

1018
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: and celebrated New Year's Eve on the flight. I believe

1019
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: Bob Glauber Arthur Staple from Newsday, and we celebrated at

1020
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 3: the w Hotel. We were in traffic on the bridge.

1021
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 3: We almost had to celebrate on the bridge there. But listen,

1022
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 3: it's you know, kids today are not going to know

1023
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 3: what it's like to watch a football game and see

1024
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 3: the dirt infield from a football or from a baseball

1025
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 3: team playing at a football stadium, which is not going

1026
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 3: to prevent them from being fully developed human beings. But

1027
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 3: that's just what you say when you're used to seeing

1028
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 3: something previously that they're not going to see. I just

1029
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 3: wonder what's gonna happen with Scrappy the possum? Who is

1030
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: that possum that was living in the press box or

1031
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 3: the broadcast booth that was preventing the baseball visiting announcers

1032
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 3: from being able to use that? How does a possum

1033
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 3: get into a broadcast booth? I don't understand that.

1034
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 2: Randous analysis. Ian do you get to the Oaklan Coliseum?

1035
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 2: I did.

1036
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 5: Actually, one of my most indelible memories, I used to

1037
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 5: go on the road for There's in a Football When

1038
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 5: I first started this job many many years ago. It

1039
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 5: was a very, very very bad Raiders team. We're facing

1040
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 5: the Chiefs on Thursday night. It was so the stadium

1041
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 5: was tarped off some of the fans. I think the

1042
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 5: top level was tarped off. It was so freaking loud

1043
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 5: you couldn't hear anything. And it was Reggie McKenzie's early

1044
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 5: in his tenure as GM there, and I was convinced.

1045
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 2: He was doing the right thing. And they were so bad, and.

1046
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 5: Then I was thinking, if they lose, everyone's probably getting fired. Instead,

1047
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 5: they somehow won. James Jones, our old friend, called a

1048
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 5: game winning touchdown. It was an unbelievable game, and everyone

1049
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 5: partied like crazy at the end, which, of course.

1050
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: Raiders fans to not to do.

1051
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 5: Also, by the way, I believe the only start from

1052
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 5: Gino Smith as a Giants quarterback happened at the Oakland Coliseum.

1053
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 5: That was a lost though, I remember that one.

1054
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: Hey, hold up, hold up, Mike, get what's behind you?

1055
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 7: There?

1056
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 3: We got yeah, kaylor can I stay a question in?

1057
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: Kaylee? What do you think?

1058
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 7: No?

1059
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 2: Oh, well, that's a nice I've been there.

1060
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 3: Probably made by his guy Tom Marcatelly Jen's playbook. He's

1061
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 3: made a few of my suits.

1062
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 2: Have fun deck shameless fluck for your guys.

1063
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: Say you, We'll see you back here on The Insiders

1064

1065
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:05,440
