Speaker 1: It is the final countdown. It is on to Championship Sunday,

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: and the final countdown to real life proof that John

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Arbaugh is indeed the Giants head coach.

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: Well, let's have over.

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Harball introduced today as the twenty first head coach in

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: Giants history, a blue blood franchise in the NFL, but

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: also a team that has won just one playoff games

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl forty six. Is what Harbaugh had to

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: say about what it will take to win big in

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: the Big Apple.

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: To me, the number one thing is we have to

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: have guys that love football. I mean you just have to.

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 3: It's football. What are we here for? You know, what

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: do we do? What is this building for? Is for football.

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: You know, this is a football team. And we need

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: guys that love everything about football. They love the games,

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: they love the practices, they love the weightlifting, they love

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: the meetings, they love the dining hall.

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: You know, they love every part of football. Man. And

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: if you love football, guys, if you love football, you're

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: gonna want to be here.

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: You're gonna want to drive in that parking lot every

39
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: single day. You're gonna want to walk in that through

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: those doors, you want to walk up in those halls.

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 4: You're gonna want to get in front of that.

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: Tape and watch tape every single day because you're gonna

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: be around a bunch of guys that love what you love,

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: they love football, because that's what we're gonna be doing

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: football all the time, every day. And if for A's

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: guys you know around that don't love football, Joe, We're

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: probably going let those guys go play somewhere else, you know,

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: because if you don't love football, you're not gonna love

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: it here because we'll be doing football.

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: That's the plan.

51
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 5: I understand it's collaborative, but somebody has to have a

52
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 5: final say, and it sounds like it's gonna be him

53
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 5: from Chris Marraa just saying his voice will carry the

54
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 5: most weight.

55
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 6: Was that humbling for you?

56
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: What did that require for you to give up what you've.

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 6: Had, which is the final say in the collaborative process.

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm not worried about that.

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: Everywhere I've been.

60
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 8: I've been in the league for twenty six years, so

61
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 8: everywhere i've been, the head coach and general manager work together.

62
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 7: That's the only way it's gonna.

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 8: Work and get on the same page, go through the process.

64
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 7: Again.

65
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 8: We've done it everywhere I've been, so I'm not worried

66
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 8: about it. Like you said, that's just you know, something

67
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 8: on a piece of paper, doesn't matter. Need to work together,

68
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 8: and we're going to come to the final conclusion, and

69
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 8: it's always going to be about what's best for the

70
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 8: New York Giants. So I have no problem with that

71
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 8: and I'm looking forward to working with him.

72
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: So the search is over and now, Judy, a football

73
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: team can get back to doing football things, trying to

74
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: win football games while playing football with a football Your

75
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: thoughts on what you heard in person today with John

76
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: Harbaus introduct.

77
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 9: Well, some of it, like the football stuff, will be

78
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 9: catnipped for Giants fans. He talked about this being an

79
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 9: iconic franchise that he wanted to be on the biggest

80
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 9: stage in the biggest league. He talked about them, he

81
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 9: wanted his team to be able to overwhelm opponents, physically

82
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 9: overwhelm opponents. Obviously, he wants smart players, he wants tough players,

83
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 9: all the things here. He actually mentioned being able to

84
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 9: finish games, which, given the way the Giants failed to

85
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 9: finish games last season, fans are.

86
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 10: Going to want to hear more about that.

87
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 9: And then there was a lot of talk about the

88
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 9: structure of the organization and reporting channels in the organization,

89
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 9: and as you heard, our friend Ryan Dunleavy from The

90
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 9: New York Post Summing up there, Chris Marra, who spoke

91
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 9: for Ownership today, did make it clear that John Harbaugh

92
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 9: is going to have the final word.

93
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 10: Yes, this is a collaboration. They all went out of.

94
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 9: Their way to say, Oh, it doesn't matter what the

95
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 9: reporting structure is, this is going to be collaborative.

96
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 10: It just needs to be a piece of paper.

97
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 9: Harbaugh said, this is just how he did it in

98
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 9: the past, and he thought this was the right way

99
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 9: to start out. He went out of his way to

100
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 9: praise Joe Shane as somebody who has a great knowledge

101
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 9: of the NFL. He believes that this is going to

102
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 9: work out really.

103
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 10: Really well.

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 9: So they all tried to put those issues of reporting aside,

105
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 9: but there's no question Harbaugh's going to have the final

106
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 9: say if there is ever a disagreement. Harbaugh made the case,

107
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 9: we're all reporting to John Marratt, so it doesn't really matter.

108
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 7: Judy.

109
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 11: It does matter in the sense that we had to

110
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 11: wait forty eight hours for this to get done because

111
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 11: this is what they needed to finalize and put into

112
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 11: the contract.

113
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: And John Harbaugh had the hand to play here, and.

114
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 5: He played it to get that done and to get

115
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 5: that put into the contract. But I sort of agree

116
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 5: with Joe Shane, and I agree with others that I

117
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 5: spoke to there that said, these guys have gotten off.

118
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 2: To a great start here.

119
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 5: They've had a lot of conversations, not like they had

120
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: just one conversation. Shane was on the plane that went

121
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: down and picked up Harball the day that he came

122
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 5: and visited the Giants, and they've hit it off well.

123
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 5: In fact, Chris Marras said, the reason Joe Shane is

124
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 5: still here, one of the reasons is that these two

125
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 5: have hit it off so well. So you have that

126
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 5: in the contract. You say, Hey, I hope I don't

127
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 5: have to lean on that because I hope we have

128
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 5: great communication and great working relationship, a great working relationship

129
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 5: moving forward. I don't think you necessarily want your coach

130
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 5: to always have finals say you want checks and balances.

131
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 5: I did here recently within the last couple of days,

132
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 5: and I said, Yeah, when John Harball had guys that he wanted,

133
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 5: sometimes he got.

134
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Him, sometimes he didn't.

135
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 5: If he got his way, Puka Nakua would be a raven.

136
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 5: That's a guy that John Harball badly wanted.

137
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,559
Speaker 2: The Ravens to draft.

138
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 5: They didn't, but there were other players that he wanted

139
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 5: that they did draft that didn't necessarily work out.

140
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: In the process as well. So sometimes he's going to hit.

141
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes he's going to miss. And I believe that John

142
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: Harball is.

143
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 11: Sometimes going to look at it and say, Okay, my scouts,

144
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 11: my GM, my personal guys that have been on the

145
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 11: road and done the work here. You know what, maybe

146
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 11: I got to defer to them, because that's what a

147
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 11: good head coach does.

148
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: And he is a good head coach unless the football

149
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: player doesn't like football, in which case, Joe, they got

150
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: to go just get him out of here right now.

151
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Titans also have a new head coach. He likes football.

152
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: It is Robert sla. Besides working through a deal late

153
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: last night to hire Sala as the new headman in Tennessee,

154
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: Titans interviewed sixteen candidates, including Matt Naghe, along with Saula

155
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: interviewed in person on Monday, Judy, why was Robert Sala there?

156
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 9: Man? You know, I think Robert sala and we saw this.

157
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 9: Obviously it didn't work out at the Jets, but we

158
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 9: did see this. He's got tremendous presence tremendous energy. He

159
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 9: will be able to galvanize a building. There's going to

160
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 9: be a lot of roster changes there. They need to

161
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 9: remake that roster. They've certainly got the means to do

162
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 9: it this year. He is going to have to bring

163
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 9: everybody together and he can do that. It obviously did

164
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 9: not work in New York for a variety of reasons,

165
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 9: most particularly the quarterback situation.

166
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 10: He's got a quarterback there.

167
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 9: Obviously, his offensive coordinator higher is going to be really,

168
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 9: really important going forward. And I do think coaches who

169
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 9: don't work out on their first try, if they're good

170
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 9: self scouters, they look at what they need to improve

171
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 9: and they get.

172
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 10: To work on it. I suspect Robert Sola.

173
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 9: Will be a better head coach the second time around. Certainly,

174
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 9: the fact that he thinks he needs to call defensive

175
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 9: place just to feel more connected to his team, I

176
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 9: think indicates he has looked at what didn't work in

177
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 9: New York and is going to correct it now.

178
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: The Titans were the number two in the John Harbor,

179
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: the runner up of the John Harball Sweepstakes, and there's

180
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 5: a reason for that. There's a lot to like in Tennessee.

181
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 5: Judy the quarterback. A lot of people like what they've

182
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 5: seen from him.

183
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: I had one.

184
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 11: Coordinator candidate say he could be great. That's one, two,

185
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 11: A lot of cap room, three draft picks for it.

186
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 11: They got a new stadium that they're about to head

187
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 11: into here. So Robert Sala hiring an offensive coordinator. I

188
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 11: think he's going to have some cards to show some folks.

189
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 11: Whereas maybe a second time around for a head coach

190
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 11: doesn't necessarily have.

191
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 5: That kind of draw. He's going to have that draw.

192
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: Brian Daball interviewed for this head coaching job. I believe

193
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 5: he's still in the mix for offensive coordinator.

194
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 11: He and Salad have built a relationship over the years,

195
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 11: and Dabll, I know, is one of the guys that

196
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 11: does like what.

197
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: He sees in Tennessee. So let's see how that one goes.

198
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 5: And maybe the guy here in Judy, you as well,

199
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 5: being in the New York market, would love to see

200
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 5: the previous two head coaches in the New York market

201
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: joined forces in Tennessee, just to see what that would

202
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 5: be like.

203
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: After some rough years in New York.

204
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: He had Robert Sola come back to his old job

205
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: in San Francisco this year, despite all the various injuries,

206
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: all the star players they lost, they still were right

207
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: there in the NFC Divisional playoffs. You would imagine how

208
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: the likes of jeff Simmons would react to this type

209
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: of a hire in Tennessee. At all pro defensive tackle

210
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: on a terrible Titans team. He weighed in with, well,

211
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: we'll just say let's go. That's it, right, Jeff, Let's

212
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: flipping go. Let's bring out.

213
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: Our Brian Baldier right now, Baldy.

214
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: We know what Robert soul is as a defensive coordinator.

215
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: We have seen him as a head coach, but not

216
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: with the quarterback. That was an ideal situation at all.

217
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: When you heard this was the higher in Tennessee, what

218
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: was your reaction?

219
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 12: I liked it.

220
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 13: That was a good fit because, honestly, when the Tennessee

221
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 13: Titans were relevant the last time, Mike Grabel was running

222
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 13: that team, and he ran it a little.

223
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 12: Bit like Robert solid Will.

224
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 13: I mean, he's very engaged, he's in the defensive line meetings.

225
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 13: Jeffrey Simmons will be the leader of that team, leader

226
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 13: of that defense. They were the number one ranked defensive

227
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 13: football when Tennessee was relevant. They were the number one

228
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,359
Speaker 13: ranked team and they lost to Cincinnati in the postseason,

229
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 13: but that team was relevant back then. I think Solid

230
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 13: will build it a little bit like it was built

231
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 13: strong in the trenches. He knows he's got to be

232
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 13: eight deep on the defensive line. I think cam Ward

233
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 13: is the guy for him. He never had cam Ward

234
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 13: in New York. You talk about Zach Wilson, guys that

235
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 13: he had to deal with, like cam Ward is all

236
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 13: about you know, to go back to Harball.

237
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 12: He's all about football. I'm pretty sure of that.

238
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 13: And he had some good moments thrown to and handing

239
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 13: off to mostly rookies the whole year last year. So

240
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 13: I think there's some pieces there on the offensive line,

241
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 13: on the defensive line, and at quarterback that will give

242
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 13: him a pretty good head start in that division. We've

243
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 13: seen Jacksonville turn things around in one year with the

244
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 13: right front office, the right moves, they've turned it around.

245
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 13: I mean, if i'm Robert Sala, I'm saying I'm taking

246
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 13: a page out of what Tennessee did, and we're going

247
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 13: to be competing for you know, maybe maybe not the division,

248
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 13: but certainly more competitive than what they were this year

249
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 13: with Sala running the program.

250
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen guided that turnaround in Jacksonville. Also an interesting

251
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: postgame moment with Robert Sala, who he now gets to

252
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: see twice a year.

253
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 14: Deep drop from Caleb Williams bounces, looks go, It is intercepted,

254
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 14: ticked off a diving interception at the twenty.

255
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 15: Two yard line.

256
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: Cameron Curl saves the day.

257
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: What a play and what a night for Cameron curl

258
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: Thirteen tackles, two passes defended, and of course that interception

259
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: that helped the Rams stun the Bears in overtime.

260
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: Send them on to the NFC.

261
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: Championship game, where please we joined right now by Cam

262
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: curl camp.

263
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot for being here.

264
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 15: Man.

265
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: First of all, I want to ask you this. I

266
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: remember sitting there after.

267
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: The game and watching you and thinking there is no

268
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: way Cam Curle woke up this morning expecting he'd be

269
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: doing the postgame interview on National TV about that play. Well,

270
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: what's this entire experience been like for you to make

271
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: that big of a play on that big of a stage.

272
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 16: I mean, it just feel good, do you know, make

273
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 16: a play to help my team win, man, And you

274
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 16: know the postgame interviews and the play the games.

275
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 7: So that's all extra stuff.

276
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 16: But you know, I just focused on making a certain

277
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 16: place is to help my team win.

278
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: So take me through that play because I know Caleb

279
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Williamson said there was kind of miscommunication, right DJ Moore

280
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: thinks he's taking that vertical. What did you see on

281
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: tape or what did you get instinctally that made you go, hey,

282
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be flat and I'm

283
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: gonna be able to go get this football.

284
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 16: I mean, during the week, we just seen some tails

285
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 16: on the deep shots, you know, the type of routs

286
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 16: they like to run in the deep shots. And you

287
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 16: know I seen the stem from fifteen wash.

288
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 7: You know, let me know I can move that way.

289
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 16: And you know I seen CALO's eyes looking like he

290
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 16: was getting ready to throw it, you know, and then

291
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 16: I broke on it and see the ball in the air,

292
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 16: and you know I just had to go get it

293
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 16: like it was the op. You know, I couldn't miss

294
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 16: that op for the team.

295
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: The other thing that jeffs I want to watching the

296
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: replay is like your head hits that turf, your whole

297
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: body hits it when it's that cold, especially its Soldier field.

298
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: Does it feel like hitting the ground right there? Being

299
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: able to get.

300
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 7: To the football in it don't feel good?

301
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 16: But in that exact moment, I couldn't really. I was

302
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 16: so focused on the ball, the ball, moving around, just

303
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 16: trying to secure the ball. But when it gets cold

304
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 16: like that, that great gets real hard and started feeling

305
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 16: like turf for sure.

306
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: So there's an emotional element too, right of making that

307
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: big of a play. Everybody celebrate, but now you've got

308
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: to recalibrate. Come right back seven days later, you're playing

309
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: for a spot in the Super Bowl.

310
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: Here, how is the entire team gone.

311
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: About enjoying that one for a minute but then getting

312
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: back to business here?

313
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 16: I mean, I feel like we do a good job

314
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 16: at it, Like during the whole season. You know what

315
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 16: I'm saying. We played in big games this season. You know,

316
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 16: our mindset has been you know, been there, done that.

317
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 16: You know, we played in big games, We won big games.

318
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 16: So you know, just on to the next man. It's

319
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 16: the playoffs. You know, we win, We're still going now

320
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 16: we got to you know, look forward to the Seahawks

321
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 16: and you know, making plays to win that game, and you.

322
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: Know the Seahawks, well you're seeing some of the tape

323
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 1: right here. If you guys facing them in the past.

324
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: Well, what's the key.

325
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: It's a familiar opponent of being able to stop these

326
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: guys on offense.

327
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 16: Just eliminate explosives, you know what I'm saying. Eliminate explosives

328
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 16: to get the ball to Matthew Stafford. You know, anytime

329
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 16: Stafford got the ball, it's a good thing for us.

330
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: When you're on the on the sideline too and watching

331
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford operate. He was clear that was not his

332
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: best game in Chicago. But as still a young guy.

333
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: I know you're in year six, but a younger guy

334
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: in the league to watch Matthew Stafford at his age

335
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: going and playing like that, how does it hit you?

336
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 7: It's crazy?

337
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 13: You know.

338
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 16: I feel like Stafford one of the best ever man

339
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 16: the way he throws the ball and the way he

340
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 16: sees the field, you know, and communicates with his receivers,

341
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 16: man like, he knows exactly what the defense is doing.

342
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 7: He knows how to tack the defense.

343
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 16: And you know, it's a good thing to see in

344
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 16: the game and practice every day.

345
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Obviously, Stafford in the offense, they're going to have to

346
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: deal with that noise in Seattle, one of the loudest

347
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: buildings in the league. You guys don't have that defensively,

348
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: but what you can't do is take the ball away right,

349
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: silence the crowd by making plays and kind of getting

350
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: the game rolling your way. How important is it for

351
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: your team? I know you never want to start slow,

352
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: but to get off to a fast start and kind

353
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: of mitigate some of that environmentally.

354
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 16: I feel like it's really important, you know, especially at

355
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 16: this time of the year, and you know the type

356
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 16: of team that see a very good team, so you know,

357
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 16: you just want to start fast, you know what I'm saying,

358
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 16: because you know, starting slow in these type of games,

359
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 16: you might never be able to catch back up, you know.

360
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 16: So starting fast, making the players we need to make,

361
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 16: you know, and just being playing together as a defense,

362
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 16: I feel like that can get the job done.

363
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: How are you you're now playing?

364
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 10: What?

365
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: Going into the twentieth game.

366
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: Of the season, like it's been a long year It

367
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: always is when you get deep into January. What do

368
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: you personally do, whether it's getting your mind right, getting

369
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: your body right to kind of refresh and hey, we

370
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: got to go and we got to do another one here.

371
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, just fighting for recovery.

372
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 16: You know, like you said, it's been a long season

373
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 16: and this is the farthest I've been in the postseason. So,

374
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 16: you know, just just learning from the other guys who've

375
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 16: been to you know, Super Bowl and NFC Championship games,

376
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 16: just what they do with their body, and just really

377
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 16: just continuing with the routine that I've been doing the

378
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 16: whole season. You know, it's just extended for you know,

379
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 16: like another month or two.

380
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it's like to be on the

381
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: other side of this. Man, you were in Washington for

382
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: four years. There were some ups. There were a lot

383
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: of downs there.

384
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, you're wondering already they're gonna be coaching, changing

385
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff. Here, What would it mean

386
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: to you personally get this win in Seattle and go

387
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: all the way to the Super Bowl?

388
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 7: Man, don't mean a lot. You know, that's the dream.

389
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 16: You know, every team going in the Week one, you

390
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 16: know the plans win Super Bowl. So you know, being

391
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 16: the team to do that, you know, that's gonna be

392
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 16: a great feeling, you know what I'm saying, Getting my

393
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 16: first ring, that's gonna be a great feeling. But you know,

394
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 16: you gotta take care of business this Sunday and then

395
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 16: we can think about that, you know, after this camp.

396
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: Thanks a ton for being here, man, No, it's a

397
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: busy week, so best luck on Sunday.

398
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 7: Appreciate you. Thank you for having.

399
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Insider presented by Progressive Yes, the

400
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: neighborhood kids writing get Better Soon cards to Poe next.

401
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 5: That is quite the scene there, Bnicks. Gonna need those

402
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 5: cards because I'm sure it's disappointing to not be able

403
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 5: to finish a postseason run that would have gotten into

404
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 5: the super Bowl with one more win. Bridget Conmon and

405
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 5: Brian Baldinger, God, that's tough, Bridget. You were at this

406
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: game on Sunday. Amazing how quickly this this thing turned here?

407
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 5: How do they move forward now without boex obviously with

408
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 5: Jared Stidham at the helm.

409
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 6: Well, a couple of things here, Mike.

410
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 17: They obviously need to have their defense continue to dominate.

411
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 17: This is a defense that leads the league by a

412
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 17: long shot with seventy one sacks. They need to be

413
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 17: able to attack Drake May. But also Jared Sidham just

414
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 17: needs to not turn the ball over. Nobody needs him

415
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 17: to be Superman or play hero ball. He just needs

416
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 17: to get the ball into the playmaker's hands.

417
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 7: R J.

418
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 17: Harvey, Cortland, Sutton and potentially JK. Dobbins, which would be huge.

419
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 17: They activated him off of IR to open his practice

420
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 17: window this week. He's been on IR since November six.

421
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 17: Having him back with fresh legs would be monumental.

422
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 6: For this offense.

423
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 17: But Sean Payin, he's had success with backup quarterbacks and

424
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 17: I can assure you he's fighting a way to make

425
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 17: this easy for Jarrett Siddam.

426
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 6: He had success.

427
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 17: Twenty nineteen, Drew Brees got hurt, Teddy Bridgewater went five

428
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 17: to oh. Twenty twenty, Bruce got hurt again. Taysom Hill

429
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 17: went three to one, and I talked with left tackle

430
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 17: Garrett Bowles in the locker room after the win, and

431
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 17: this of course was before we had heard the news

432
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 17: about bo Nix. Was kind of interesting. We did all

433
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 17: the media availability and then the locker room closed and

434
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 17: then we found out. So we haven't heard from players

435
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 17: yet their reaction to bo Nicks, but what he told

436
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 17: me kind of still hangs true. He said, it doesn't

437
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 17: matter who we have on our team.

438
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 6: It's the love that we have.

439
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 17: Looking left and right, knowing how much we've been through.

440
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 17: He even talked about twenty twenty three Sean Payton's first year. Remember, guys,

441
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 17: when the Dolphins put up seventy on them for better

442
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 17: or worse, that pawns you. Jared Sidham was on the

443
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 17: team then, and he said, because we've come from so far,

444
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 17: we have so much love, we're going to do whatever it.

445
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 6: Takes for the guy next to us on the field,

446
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 6: Baldy Brigitte.

447
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 13: I'm just going to take liberty here and just just

448
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 13: refer to him as Stitty. I mean, that's what everybody's calling.

449
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 13: He's stitty. So in his conversation stitty, it's not the

450
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 13: regular season, it's championship Sunday. And I say that, Bridget

451
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 13: because what we saw last week, you know from his

452
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 13: opponent in Drake May. He made some huge throws fourth

453
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 13: and one, pot Douglas across the middle for a touchdown,

454
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 13: kay Sean Boone a thirty two yard and fourth quarter

455
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 13: to put the game on ice.

456
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 12: Unbelievable throw and catch.

457
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 13: He's gonna as much as you can say, like let's

458
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 13: let's just complete the passes.

459
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 12: Let's hand off to JK.

460
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 13: Dobbins, let's take the step maybe from you know, Luke Wattenberg,

461
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 13: maybe at center for the first time in a couple

462
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 13: of months.

463
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 12: That's all good, but he's going to have to make throws.

464
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 13: You can't hide your quarterback in a championship game. He's

465
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 13: going to have to step up, and we'll find out

466
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 13: if he can step up make the throws. Maybe Troy

467
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 13: Franklin is back healthy, Pat Bryant back healthy, whoever it

468
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 13: might be, can he make the throws in a big spot,

469
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 13: because he's going to have to do that to move

470
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 13: forward to Super Bowl Sunday at Levi Stadium, And that's

471
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 13: what I'm kind of watching for. I know he can

472
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 13: do the checkdown, he can get the ball out of

473
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,239
Speaker 13: his hands and you know, get a stick throw to

474
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 13: Evan Ingram, but there's going to come a time in

475
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 13: his game where he's going to have to make that

476
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 13: throw and you have to do it without fear and

477
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 13: without worrying about is ball going to get turned over not?

478
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 12: You're gonna have to make these throws to win this game.

479
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: Is talking to the Broncos defense.

480
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 5: We know how tough they can be to go against

481
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 5: the league and.

482
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: Force some turnovers.

483
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 5: Drake May protect the football here in this game.

484
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 17: Yeah, well, I imagine they're working on it this week

485
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 17: in practice. Looks, guys, Drake May has fumbled the ball

486
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 17: six times this playoffs.

487
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 6: He's lost three of those stumbles.

488
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 17: The Patriots as an offense have five turnovers. That's as

489
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 17: many as they've had in the last eight regular season

490
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 17: games combined. I understand they went against the Texans, they

491
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 17: went against the Chargers, two very good defensive teams. But

492
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 17: as I mentioned earlier, we now have Nick Benito and

493
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 17: John Franklin Myers coming after Drake May. The Broncos defense

494
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 17: leads the league with seventy one sacks and it's not

495
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 17: even close. They lead by fourteen sacks. That's incredible. They're

496
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 17: going to be after Drake May on Sunday. A big

497
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 17: point of emphasis in practice has been winning that turnover battle.

498
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 17: I talked with defensive end Zach Allen after the Broncos

499
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 17: win and he said, Sean Payton made it clear towards

500
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 17: the end of the season we weren't winning the turnover ratio,

501
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 17: and that has been ingrained in their mind. During the

502
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 17: bye week and in that first game against the Bills,

503
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 17: they forced Josh Allen and the Bills to turn the

504
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 17: ball over five times. So that is a huge point

505
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 17: in this game. If they can win the turnover battle,

506
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 17: despite who they have that quarterback, it's going to be

507
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 17: good opportunity for this Broncos team.

508
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 13: Balding Bridget, you are spot on, and just you know,

509
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 13: I'm talking to people in Denver all year long. Seventy

510
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 13: one sacks is great, Bridget. They weren't getting the ball out.

511
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 13: They only had fourteen takeaways all season, and that was

512
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 13: the point. Is all right, it's good to go get

513
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 13: fifteen sacks. For Nick Benito is he's a piranha out

514
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 13: there looking for some meat. But getting the ball on

515
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 13: the ground is how you win these games. And Jakwan's

516
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 13: interception and you're seeing Jday right here pick up a

517
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 13: loose ball like that changes the game. And so that's

518
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 13: all on tape. You know, Will Campbell left tackle struggled

519
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 13: against Will Anderson. I'm sure Nick Benito is saying I

520
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 13: can do the same thing. That's what they want. That's

521
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 13: why they paid me the bonus and the extension that

522
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 13: they gave me this year to go do that. So

523
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 13: it will be a point of emphasis and probably who

524
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 13: wins this turnover battle probably wins the game. So it's

525
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 13: a point of emphasis. It's out there on tape that

526
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 13: you know, ball security has been an issue. And if

527
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 13: i'm Denver right now, I'm I'm I'm kind of taking

528
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 13: a page what we've seen for both the Chargers and

529
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 13: last week of course from the Texans, that we could

530
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 13: do the same thing.

531
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 12: We're capable of doing it, and.

532
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 11: To be called in Denver on Sunday, Baldy, as I

533
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 11: see your head amongst the palm trees right there, I

534
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 11: just let you know right now it's seventeen degrees in

535
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 11: New Jersey.

536
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: Just going to let you know that right now.

537
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 10: Okay, Judy, thank you, Mike.

538
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 9: All right, here's your Championship Sunday schedule. Basically, do everything

539
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 9: you have to do this weekend on Saturday, anything around

540
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 9: the house, because Sunday is.

541
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 10: All about football.

542
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 9: Three o'clock eastern on CBS, it's Patriots at Broncos and

543
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 9: then following that six point thirty eastern on Fox Rams

544
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 9: at Seahawks. There's also supposed to be a big snowstorm

545
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 9: possibility here in the Northeast. It's a great day for football.

546
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 9: Let's bring in our Jeffrey Chadillo, who's first read column.

547
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 9: This week's centers on why each of the final four

548
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 9: teams can win the Super Bowl. So let's start. Why

549
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 9: can the Denver Broncos win the Super Bowl?

550
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 15: We detense judy is tremendous and you saw it against Buffalo.

551
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 15: They forced five turnovers. They can get after you with

552
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 15: Nick Bonito and Jonathan Cooper. They've got patricks Ertan on

553
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 15: the back end with Riley Moss, they can cause you

554
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 15: so many problems. And you saw what happened with Drake

555
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 15: May against Houston Texans where he had three turnovers. He's

556
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 15: had five total turnovers in the postseason, have been sacked

557
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 15: ten times. You have to think that Broncos are thinking

558
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 15: about those stats a lot and thinking about it'd be

559
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 15: great to have that going for ourselves with Jared Stidham

560
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 15: starting at quarterbacks. So I really think Denver at home,

561
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 15: with that defense can do big things.

562
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 7: All right.

563
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 9: Their opponent is the New England Patriots. Why can the

564
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 9: New England Patriots go to the Super Bowl.

565
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 15: I love the combination of Mike Vrabel and Drake May,

566
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 15: and they are this generations Bill Belichick and Tom Brady,

567
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 15: and I just mentioned. The problem is Drake may had

568
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 15: in that game, but he bounced back. He stated himself,

569
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 15: he made big plays when he had to, big touchdown

570
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 15: passes the Kayshawan Boody and Stefan Diggs. So you know

571
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 15: he's got the savvy and the ability to come back

572
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 15: from adversity. And then Mike Rabel winning culture. This team

573
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 15: is always prepared. They took over over whelms Hesh Drought

574
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 15: in this contest. He's going to have this team ready,

575
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 15: regardless of being a young team on a big stage.

576
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 9: Definitely, Mike Rabel is a Coach of the Year candidate.

577
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 9: All right, let's switch over to the NFC the Rams.

578
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 9: This is of course the rubber match of the divisional rivalry,

579
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 9: the Rams.

580
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 10: Why can the Rams go to the Super Bowl.

581
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 15: I've been high on the Rams all season and I

582
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 15: say the same thing about them always the best offense

583
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 15: still left in the postseason. They led the league in scoring.

584
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 15: You know Matthew Stafford what he can do. He's probably

585
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 15: going to win the MVP. The run game with Karen

586
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 15: Williams and Lake Corum, Devonte Adams speaking with so many

587
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 15: weapons and when it came down to it, that game

588
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 15: in Chicago was tough. Chicago's defensive prize. I think the

589
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 15: weather allot to do with that. But they know Seattle.

590
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 15: They were up thirty to fourteen in the fourth quarter

591
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 15: against the Seahawks and beat them in a different game.

592
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 15: I just feel like they're going to be tough to

593
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 15: beat in this contest because that offense is going to

594
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 15: come to play.

595
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 9: Those two games were decided by a total of three points.

596
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 9: How can the Seahawks go to the super Bowl.

597
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 2: Best team left?

598
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 7: I mean, it really is that simple.

599
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 15: And they've been going up, up and up every week

600
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 15: since about midseason. And you watched them play against San Francisco.

601
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 15: I don't care how beat up San Francisco was. You

602
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 15: lose forty one to six. That game was never closed

603
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 15: from the time it kicked off. You saw what that

604
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 15: defense can do. You see Sam Darnold taking on that

605
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 15: game manager role and not making mistakes. Yeah, it's a

606
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 15: big loss. Zach Charbonnay going down, but he saw Kenneth

607
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 15: Walker really come to life again. And so I just

608
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 15: feel like this team right now is going to be

609
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 15: hard to beat in Lumenfield and in the super Bowl.

610
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: Because they're complete.

611
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 7: They got everything you need right now.

612
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 9: That is correct, Jeffrey, Thank you. Read more of Jeffrey's

613
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 9: first recolumn NFL dot Com slash first Read, and when

614
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 9: we return on The Insiders, we're going to hear a

615
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 9: whole lot more from the new Giants head coach. There

616
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 9: he is John Harbaugh. He sat down with Mike and

617
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 9: me earlier today. That is coming up next on The Insiders.

618
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 11: Here today, the new coach of the Giants, officially.

619
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 5: John Harry All, introduced at a press conference in East

620
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 5: Rutherford to a rather large media.

621
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: Contingent, one that seemed to catch him a little bit

647
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,960

00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 3: they are about their team or what they're doing. I

657
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: mean that really that touched my heart. Like with all

658
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: these different teams.

659
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 7: Uh.

660
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,600

661
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 4: New York Giants.

662
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,960

665
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 3: you just said it goes back one hundred and one

666
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: years now. You know, it's it's the very it's the

667
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 3: first franchise. It's it's the one that survived the original six.

668
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: The other five are in Ohio. I know that because

669
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: I'm from Ohio, you know. And uh, and it's a

670
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: big deal. So uh that that that's important. It's it's

671
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: it's the most iconic franchise. It's it's it's the biggest market.

672
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: You know, it's got a great fan base. It's exciting.

673
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 3: You know, it's not eighteen years ago when I'm just

674
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 3: coming in for the first time. Everybody's like, who is

675
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: this guy? You know, I'm toward the end of my career, right,

676
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: I want to take a big swing here.

677
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 5: That's why you mentioned toward the end of your career

678
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 5: you still got playing left and me, I know you do.

679
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 5: But you were asked about back fifteen years or so

680
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 5: we'll hold you to it. You were asked today about

681
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 5: not necessarily. We've seen it done both ways. Sometimes take

682
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 5: a break, take a year off, reset yourself, or dive

683
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 5: right back in. Was it this job's availability that was

684
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 5: part of it? To necessarily dive right back in. Just

685
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 5: feeling like you're up to it right now.

686
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: Honestly, that part of it, that's not it. It was

687
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: just because I knew I want to coach. My wife

688
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: still wants us to coach, and it's just I couldn't

689
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: picture myself not coaching this year. I wanted to get

690
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: back with guys. I wanted to stand in front of

691
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: a room. I wanted to be on the practice field

692
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: with the fellas. I wanted to be in the weight

693
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: room with the guys. I just did not want to

694
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: do it. I couldn't imagine what I would be doing

695
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 3: right now if I wasn't coaching football this year.

696
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 10: So that's why let's talk about this current team.

697
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 9: You know this, it's it's been a rough decade or

698
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 9: so here at the Giants. What's the first thing tomorrow

699
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 9: is like your first real day on the job. What's

700
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 9: the first thing that you need to do to get

701
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 9: this franchise going back in the right direction.

702
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, there's a lot of work to do, obviously,

703
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: but there always is with every team, So there's there's

704
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: there's more to do. When you take a job for

705
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: the first time, it's a new job. You got to

706
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: figure it out. I mean, I'm not really sure exactly

707
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 3: how to get to the office right now. I've been

708
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: lost like three times walking through those hallway. So the

709
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 3: very first thing is going to find my way to

710
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: the office now getting lost.

711
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 7: Uh.

712
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 4: And then from there it's going to be it's going

713
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 4: to be everything at the same time.

714
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 3: And we've got to build staff. We've got to build

715
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 3: a great coaching staff. A bunch of great coaches and

716
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 3: know how to teach, and they want to want to

717
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: teach it in a way and want to build a

718
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: team in the same kind of vision that we see.

719
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 4: I want to start talking to the players.

720
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 3: I want to get to them on the phone and

721
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: start texting them and calling them and talking to them

722
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: and getting to know the guys.

723
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 4: Uh. And then we've got to start looking at our planning.

724
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: You know, We've got we've got to we've got to

725
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: plan for the cap, the draft, free agencies coming right

726
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: around the corner. You know, this league doesn't stop right

727
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: it just the accelerators down. I probably want to be

728
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: time to watch these playoff games. You know who cares

729
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: we're not in it.

730
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: We don't care.

731
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 9: We'll let you.

732
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, Well we'll watch it if I network look

733
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: at the news. But I just want to get started

734
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: generally and get to work.

735
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 5: The day you were here, we were getting where Jackson

736
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 5: starts taking pictures with him and sending it to teammates.

737
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 5: He's getting all excited. He's got energy, swag drip. I

738
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: hear the kids call it.

739
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 4: I fear what that is.

740
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 5: You're going to see it on the practice field, on

741
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 5: the playing field. You're going to see it from him.

742
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 5: What excite you most about him? Well, first of I

743
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 5: think he's really good. I mean that excites me the

744
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 5: most is how good he is. But past that, what

745
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 5: excites me is is who he is. You know what

746
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 5: he's about. He's about football.

747
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: He loves it, he loves everything about it. And he

748
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 3: got me fired up. I was the same way. I

749
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: was ready to run through a brick wall after I

750
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 3: talked to him. So let's all be like that.

751
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 7: Man.

752
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: Lets it's like my dad says an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.

753
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: Let's all be like that and see what we can build.

754
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 5: Can't believe Jack Carbo and interrupt this press conference today.

755
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,800

00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: Patriots at the Broncos three pm Eastern Time on CBS

765
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: and Paramount Plus. Followed six thirty pm Easter Time at

00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game on Fox. It is the Rams

767
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: at the Seahawks. It is Adam Rank joining me, Tom

768
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: Pellicero right now, all the insiders to talk about a

769
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: week that was not the week.

770
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: It's a week. It's one of many. Rank, what jumped

771
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: out to you about this week?

772
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: Oh?

773
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, host, what a week it was.

774
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 18: But I would be remiss if I didn't congratulate the

775
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 18: Indiana Hoosiers on winning the College Football National Championship, a

776
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 18: win that seems as improbable as Rhett Lewis being allowed

777
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 18: to use his full government name here on the NFL network.

778
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: But you know it's weird.

779
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 18: This game was played in Miami, home of the Dolphins,

780
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 18: and I know that they plan this in advance, but

781
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 18: how they schedule this?

782
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: What would have happened if the.

783
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 18: Dolphins would have made the playoffs, if they were hosting

784
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 18: a playoff?

785
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: And you know what, actually, I'm just kidding.

786
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 7: I hear it now.

787
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 18: I understand how Atlantish it is, which is why, of course,

788
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 18: next season, the college football National Championship game will be

789
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 18: played at Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas. No schedule conflicts

790
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 18: there should be wide open in January. Although I will

791
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 18: say this, Fernando Mendoza, you won a national championship in Indiana.

792
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 18: Getting to the Raiders and going to the playoffs, that

793
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 18: has out landish. I don't think so, Kirk Signetty. They

794
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 18: still need to coach as well. Let's make some magic here.

795
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 18: But listen, speaking of quarterbacks, this was a wild weekend

796
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 18: of football. The biggest news, of course, was about a

797
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 18: quarterback who will not be playing on Championship Sunday. And

798
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 18: of course I'm not talking about Caleb Williams.

799
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 4: Yet I'm talking about bo Nicks.

800
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 18: Oh what an emotional rollercoaster it was for the Broncos.

801
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 18: They beat Josh Allen and the Bills. But the euphoria

802
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 18: was his short lived as Josh mcdandaniel's coaching tenure in Denver,

803
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 18: as word got out that bo Nicks broke his ankle

804
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 18: and will not be available for the rest of the playoffs,

805
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 18: including the Super Bowl, which the Broncos are going to.

806
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 18: And I understand this is no laughing matter, but Nick

807
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 18: Foles certainly has jokes. As a matter of fact, he

808
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 18: went to Twitter and said, note for the Broncos and

809
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 18: their fans, I know it's been an emotional twenty four hours.

810
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 18: I feel for bow and the team, and I'm sending

811
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 18: prayers for a strong recovery. A positive note going into

812
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 18: the game against the Patriots is they struggle against backup

813
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 18: quarterbacks in championship type games. Way to go, Nick Foles.

814
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 18: I don't know if that had been in your mentions

815
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 18: or if that had been in your drafts. Waiting to

816
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 18: use that at the perfect time, but that was it.

817
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 18: But by the way, Jared Stidham, can he be worse

818
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 18: than Peyton Manning? Was in Super Bowl fifty when that

819
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 18: defense dragged him to a championship like he was the

820
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 18: title character and weekend at Bernie's. And by the way,

821
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 18: this Bill's loss ended up costing Sean McDermott his gig,

822
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 18: which I get, But what about the guy who thought

823
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 18: it was a good idea to sign Nicole Hartman and

824
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 18: Keon Coleman. That guy gets to keep his job. To listen,

825
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 18: I'm remiss. Let's get on to the Chicago Bears and the.

826
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 4: Magical season came doing it now.

827
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 18: Obviously, Kayleb Williams went out there and threw and forced

828
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 18: overtime on a touchdown pass that was straight out of

829
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 18: super Techmobile. But in the end there was a miscommunication

830
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 18: between him and DJ Moore which led to the deam

831
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 18: to the team's downfall, which is a shame because ultimately

832
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 18: the only thing brighter in this Playoffs than Caleb Williams was.

833
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 4: The smile of Matthew Stafford.

834
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 7: What's going on there?

835
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 18: But by the way, the NFL released Caleb Williams highlight video,

836
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 18: which was nearly an hour long.

837
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 4: No other quarterback got an hour long video.

838
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 18: CJ Stroud got a thirty minute highlight video. Although twenty

839
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 18: minutes of that was him just trying to sun Caleb. Oh,

840
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 18: thank you, thanks, thanks CJ. Stroud. This is what propelled

841
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 18: Caleb Williams this season. Thanks so much for all that,

842
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 18: and thank you host for having me in allowing me

843
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 18: here for the week.

844
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: That was always great to see a rank on the

845
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: old NFL now set. Say hello to Clin Schmidt and

846
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: all of our friends back there in Los Angeles.

847
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you the next week. That was, or

848
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: is or will be.

849
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 10: It's time for.

850
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 9: Good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance. The Seahawks haven't given

851
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 9: up a touchdown in back to back weeks, shut down

852
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 9: the forty nine ers in Week eighteen and then in

853
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 9: the Divisional round.

854
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 10: It was their second instance of.

855
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 9: Not allowing a TD in back to back games in

856
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 9: the twenty twenty five season, and they're the first team

857
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 9: league wide to have multiple streaks in the season allowing

858
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 9: zero touchdowns in back to back games.

859
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 10: Since guess who. The twenty fourteen.

860
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 9: Seahawks pretty pretty good all this weekend NFC Championship game.

861
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 9: I don't know what more you could want from this

862
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 9: number one scoring offense versus the number one scoring defense

863
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 9: with a dash of a division rivalry thrown in.

864
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 10: For good measure.

865
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 9: That, of course, is the second game of Championship Sunday.

866
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 10: And here's our friend Sam Schwartzstein.

867
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 9: I'm so glad we still get to talk to Sam,

868
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 9: even though we have finished Thursday night football. All right, Sam,

869
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 9: this is the rubber match of the division rivalry. What

870
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 9: did we learned maybe from those first two games that

871
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 9: can indicate what we might see in this one.

872
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 14: But these teams are nearly tied on offensive yards game

873
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 14: eight thirty to eight twenty nine.

874
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 7: But the big.

875
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 14: Difference maker has been turnovers and most importantly, special teams,

876
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 14: and that's where the Seahawks have a dramatic advantage. They

877
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 14: have plus seven point nine epa game that's expected points

878
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 14: outed on those special teams plays in the games against

879
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 14: the Rams. And it comes down to that week ten

880
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 14: acquisition of Rashid Shiheat his two kickoff return touchdowns, including

881
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 14: the playoffs. Most importantly, this punk return touchdown in week

882
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 14: sixteen help propel them back into the game. Analytics will

883
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 14: often look at what's the most likely scenario unlikely scenario,

884
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 14: and that's how we're helping decisioning across the league.

885
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 12: Well the most unlikely.

886
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 14: Thing that can happen are these special teams touchdowns, so

887
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 14: being able to change a game, and this is the

888
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 14: first play of the game in the division round they

889
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 14: get off. They don't have to have Sam Darnland and

890
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 14: JSN to win the game for them. They had use

891
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 14: it with their special teams. And that's where Seattle has

892
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 14: the biggest advantage.

893
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 9: All right, As we mentioned, the Rams have the number

894
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 9: one scoring offense in the league, and they were one

895
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 9: of the few teams that were able to perform well

896
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 9: offensively during the regular season against the Seahawks. The playoffs

897
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 9: have felt a little bit different with the Rams. What

898
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 9: have you seen from them?

899
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 14: Look, this is the number one success right in the

900
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 14: NFL in the regular season forty nine percent. They've dropped

901
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 14: down to forty two percent, which that might not seem

902
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 14: like a lot, but that's six places per game where

903
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 14: they're not getting enough yards and they need to or

904
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 14: not getting in those first downs on third downs, which

905
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 14: has been their biggest issue. Those six players can decide

906
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 14: a game, and that's what's made it so close. Third

907
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 14: down is where they're really struggling. They were already struggling

908
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 14: there at a forty percent conversion rate because they can't

909
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 14: use those same under center run past you know, get

910
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 14: teams off guard. They're down to under twenty seven percent

911
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 14: converting on third down. That'd be one of the worst

912
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 14: in playoffs. So they need to be able to find

913
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 14: a way to get Pugnakua DeVonta Adams to step up

914
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 14: in those big conversion downs.

915
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 9: All Right, the Seahawks offense has been up and down

916
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 9: during the season, but there is one key area where

917
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 9: they are among the very best in the NFL.

918
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 14: You're probably going to hear a bunch about twelve personnel

919
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 14: that's one running back and two tight ends, and what

920
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 14: the Seahawks like to do. They like to run out

921
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 14: of it typically, but they're one of the best teams.

922
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 14: They're the second best team in ep per dropback, which

923
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 14: helped them generate the most EPA in twelve personnel this season.

924
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 14: And this is something that's come on recently that they've

925
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 14: wanted to do. Aj Barner, Eric Salber, Elijah r Royo.

926
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 14: Getting these guys in the field can stress a defense

927
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 14: because typically you're going to want to play against the

928
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 14: run when there's two tight ends on the field, but

929
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 14: they can pass out of it extremely well. Watch for

930
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 14: them to also be able to get to the edge

931
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,560
