1
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: The Eagles have yet to clinch the NFC East title,

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: and I'll have to give it another shot on Sunday

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: without their quarterback. We will tell you how Philly adjusts

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: with Kenny Picketts starting against the Cowboys and when Jalen

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Hurts potentially could return. The Chiefs don't have to worry

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: about playing their starters again for a few weeks, and

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: now they're three wins away from a three peat. Who

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: can stop them? Our guys Brian Baldinger, Jeffrey Chudia, and

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: Adam Rank will give you their AFC picks, plus Rank

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: will also stick around to save your fantasy season just

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: one more time. Championship Week is underway, and hey, we

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: still got three more days.

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: Of football to discuss.

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafolo.

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: I am Tom Peliicero. We are now just forty four

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: days out from Super Bowl fifty nine in New Orleans.

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: More and more playoff spots are being wrapped up, a

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: ton of action coming up this weekend, and for one

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: team that's still trying to secure their division title, maybe

20
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: even the number one seed, with a whole lot of help,

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be looking this week without the

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: guy who makes it all go, that is Eagles quarterback

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts officially ruled out today for Sunday's game because

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: of the concussion that he suffered last week against Washington.

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Of course, Kenny Pickett took over in that game, the

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: Commanders mounted a rally to win. Pickett, who is this

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: stuffed a rib injury by the way in that game,

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: is slated to start this week against the Cowboys. It

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: continues to be Mike win and you win the division

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: title for Philadelphia, albeit with a quarterback who they've yet

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: to see start a game, certainly not a game of

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: this magnitude.

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we told earlier in the week if Jalen Hurts

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: wasn't doing things in practice, it wasn't resting.

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: Through the protocol.

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: As we got to say Thursday, I remember the team

37
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: was off on Wednesday for a Christmas Day, that the

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: chances of him playing were extremely slim.

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: And that's what wound up happening here.

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: For Nick Siriotti, who never gives the injury information before practice,

41
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: to say that Jalen Hurts had a slim chance at

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: that point, you knew at that point that he was out.

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: So now this opens up the possibility potentially that Hurts

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: could not play in Week seventeen or Week eighteen if

45
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: the Eagles don't need that game and they're gonna wind

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: up playing their backups anyway. Well, sit, We shall see

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: how that part progresses, but for now, it is Kenny Pickett.

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: Speaking to Picket in the locker room.

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: Yesterday, he indicated he does have a rib issue that

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: he's working through. He ordinarily does wear rib protection. He's

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: gonna wear a little bit more on this game because

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: he knows he is gonna have something he's gonna have

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: to deal with.

54
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: That's the way that he put it.

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 3: But he doesn't expect that there'll be any limitations with him.

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to move, he's gonna have to run.

57
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: He's not Jalen Hurts, but he does have the ability

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 3: to move a little bit. And that's a big part

59
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: of the Eagles offense. If you want to keep a

60
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: defense honest and not locking in on Saint Quon Barkley,

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: they have to respect the quarterback run.

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the fact that we saw Kenny Pickett play

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 5: last week and there were it was not a perfect performance,

64
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 5: but They're certainly were enough ups where the Eagles could say,

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: all right, like this is a guy who's.

66
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 6: Going to put us in position win.

67
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 5: In fact, he did put them in position to win,

68
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 5: delivering the ball on the money with the game on

69
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: the line, ended up being dropped. But still, Kenny Pickett

70
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 5: has been there for this Eagles team and you know

71
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 5: when you look big picture with him, well, I would say,

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 5: first of all, in the immediate he could deliver a

73
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: win for the Eagles, put them where they want to

74
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 5: be in the playoffs, and then give way to Jalen

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 5: Hurts win.

76
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 6: It all counts.

77
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 5: But for him personally, you know, this is a great

78
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 5: way for Kenny Pickett re established his reputation and his

79
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: resume as a potential starter for the twenty twenty five season.

80
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: He of course has been a starter obviously started countless

81
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: games with the Steelers. Then you know last offseason happened YadA, YadA, YadA,

82
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 5: and now he's.

83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 6: A backup again.

84
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: He can work his way back up to being someone

85
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: who being good to be a starter next season. This

86
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: is really how reputations can be remade in these huge games.

87
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: It is all out there for Kenny Picker and certainly.

88
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Let's make no mistake here.

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: This is a big game for a Philadelphia Eagles team that,

90
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: by virtue of that loss last week to Washington without

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: their quarterback, they're still fighting to make sure that they

92
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: secure the NFC East titles. You take a look at

93
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: the playoff picture right now in the NFC. We know

94
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles are in the playoffs, the Lions are in

95
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. None of the four divisions have actually been

96
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: wrapped up. The Vikings, of course still on course.

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: Here.

98
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: They've got the Lions living a Week eight team, but

99
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: first they face a Packers team that also has clinched

100
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: their playoff spot. So here's what's left here in terms

101
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: of the clinching scenarios in the NFC.

102
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: These are the things that can happen this week.

103
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: The Lions can clinch everything, the whole kitdingaboodle, but they

104
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: would also need the Vikings to lose in addition to

105
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: winning their game. Eagles clinch it straightforward, win that game,

106
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: they win the Vision, or would do so with the

107
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Washington loss. Things are a little bit more complicated for

108
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Falcons. We got a whole sheet

109
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: of the possibilities that our researcher Daniel Farr put together

110
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: for us here a lot of different things that can

111
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: play out, Mike, what grabs your eye as you're looking

112
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: right now, But where things stand in the NFC.

113
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: I'd say the FC South and the Falcons and the

114
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: fact that if they can win this game, I mean,

115
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: this is the tougher game of the two left for

116
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: them to play the Commanders here knowing that Tampa's got

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: two extremely winnable games left. This is almost like for

118
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: the division for Atlanta no matter what Tampa Bay does.

119
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: It seems that way, and for them now to be

120
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 3: in the driver's seat once again after the Buccaneers, I

121
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: mean the game we thought.

122
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: They were going to lose, with the game out there

123
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: to the Chargers.

124
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: For them to win that game, it seemed like they

125
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: were going to be the ones that were going to

126
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: be driving this all the.

127
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: Way through the week a team.

128
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: But then to drop that game against the Cowboys who

129
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: are playing hard by the way, and the Cowboys aren't

130
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 3: potentially starting to play a little bit of spoiler here

131
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: and talking to their guys this week, it seems like

132
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: they are motivated to play for both Mike McCarthy and

133
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: just to finish out this one here, so they have

134
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: factored in to this one to give the Falcons a

135
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: chance to control their playoff fate.

136
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 5: Here mean it's we talk or not we but fans

137
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 5: talk about tanking all the time. It's unbelievable. What teams

138
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 5: have nothing to play for? You know how hard they

139
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 5: are playing. When we saw with you know, the Raiders

140
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 5: last week, there's going to be a couple this week

141
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 5: we will jump up and win a game. And you're like,

142
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 5: but aren't they not really playing for anything?

143
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 6: Like they are all playing.

144
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 5: The players on the field are all playing as absolutely

145
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 5: hard as possible. What I want to talk about is

146
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 5: the number one seed. And you know, usually in the

147
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 5: other conference it's kind of this way. It's like usually

148
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 5: the number one seed by now is kind of wrapped

149
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 5: up in a nice bow, you know who the best

150
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 5: team is, and it's sort of fighting for space underneath.

151
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 6: This is not like that. In fact, we could get vikings.

152
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 5: We are going to get vikings lines week eighteen could

153
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 5: be for the number one seed in.

154
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 6: The in the conference.

155
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 5: And you know, it feels like so much, unbelievably much

156
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 5: as at stake at the highest levels of this and

157
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 5: you know, there's plenty of other things we need to

158
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 5: figure out, Like Mike, you mentioned the South, We need

159
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 5: to figure out who's the six and seven seed.

160
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 6: I mean, there's still a lot that needs to shake out.

161
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 5: But the fact that we still don't know who the

162
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 5: best team is, who gets to buy, who gets home

163
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: field avengs throughout and it comes down to the last week,

164
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 5: that's pretty fun for all of us.

165
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: The Seahawks, by the way, by virtue of that six

166
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: to three win on Thursday Night Football over the Bears

167
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: keep their playoff hopes alive. There's a lot of different

168
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: scenarios here by which they can get in. The simplest

169
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: one the Rams lose this week, the Seahawks beat the

170
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: Rams week eighteen, they get in. There's also stuff like

171
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: the Rams winner tie this week, the Seahawks beat the

172
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Rams next week, and the following teams all combined for

173
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: fewer than three point five wins in Week seventeen, the

174
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: Vikings bills forty nine ers, commanders, begels break. This is

175
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: the stuff that's just it's too complicated to explain. We

176
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: can make it very straightforward. Take care of your business

177
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: and then let other people.

178
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: Do the map.

179
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: The cold Stein a lot of things to happen as well.

180
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: One thing that would you would think help them would

181
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: be having Anthony Richardson at least available for the game

182
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: this week. Has not practiced the entire week because of

183
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: back and foot soreness, but according to Shane Steichen, still

184
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: has a shot. He's officially listed as questionable for Sunday's

185
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: game at a Giants team that at this point, you know,

186
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: getting a couple of losses and actually help them get

187
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, but you know they're still

188
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: going to be going hard. As it stands now, we've

189
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: got three of the divisions that have been wrapped up

190
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: by the Chiefs, Bills, and Texans. In the AFC, the Ravens,

191
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: now ahead of the Steelers by a game they've clinched

192
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: a playoff spot, can wrap up the division by.

193
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 2: Getting another win here.

194
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: And then you've got the Chargers and the Broncos both

195
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: play in highly consequential games on Saturday that could lead

196
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: them to clinching playoff spots this weekend. That triple header,

197
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: of course, right here on NFL Network. The Broncos with

198
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: a win over the Bengals, they get in. The Chargers

199
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: with a win over the Patriots plus losses by the

200
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Colts, they too would wrap up those remaining

201
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: two playoff spots. And if you're wondering, Ian, how do

202
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: the Colts get in? The Colts go two and oh,

203
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: Broncos go oh in to the Dolphins, or the Bengals

204
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: go too and oh. That would create a three way

205
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: tie that the Colts would win. It's all very simple.

206
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, that's simple. This is why I don't really

207
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 6: do math.

208
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: It's also, by the way, why you know the Bengals

209
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 5: current odds are so so low because so many things.

210
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 6: Have to happen. That said, if they take care.

211
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 5: Of business this Saturday or tomorrow on NFL Network, if

212
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: they beat the Broncos, then it is all going to

213
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: be out there for them to possibly grab. And you know,

214
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 5: the playoffs are such a weird thing because it obviously

215
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 5: is a measure of, you know, who's the best team,

216
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: but it's also a measure of who's the best team

217
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 5: at the time. And our good friend Kyle Brown will

218
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 5: talk about a come running team, like the team that

219
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 5: is just on fire, hits the playoffs and keeps rolling through.

220
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 5: We got a couple of them. I mean, the Bengals

221
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: are that team. If everything goes right, and the Bengals

222
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 5: getting the playoffs gotta help everyone because I don't think

223
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 5: anybody wants to see them. And then what we saw

224
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 5: from the Baltimore Ravens the last couple weeks and what

225
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: we saw this past week, they look like they're hitting

226
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 5: on all cylinders. They're probably a scary a team as

227
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 5: we've seen. They are beating up people. They're beating people

228
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 5: by a lot. Lamar is having another MVP caliber season.

229
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 5: I know the Ravens are probably just going to be

230
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 5: the three seed, but this is like a scary three

231
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 5: seed as we've seen.

232
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 6: Anyway, the playoffs are going to be a lot of fun.

233
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 6: So let's go.

234
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: To me.

235
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: The Dolphins, who may not make the postseason going to

236
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: need some help here are one of the more interesting

237
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: stories here because they can get themselves to nine and

238
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: eight and still not make the playoffs.

239
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 4: But still you can look at it and say it

240
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 4: was a.

241
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: Pretty impressive season considering they lost to considering how the

242
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: season started, by the way, with Tyreek Hill getting arrested

243
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: on opening they're detained.

244
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: I forget what a specific term we use for that.

245
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: One, but losing TUA for an extended period looking like

246
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: they're nowhere in this race, and then to put some

247
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: wins together. As Mike McDaniel's job status was being discussed.

248
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: Then for Stephen Ross to give McDaniel the game ball

249
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: certainly an indication of what he thinks about McDaniel as

250
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: his coach. He can really cement his status as the

251
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: head coach in Miami with two more wins than get

252
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,479
Speaker 3: to nine and eight even if they don't make the postseason.

253
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Here, Dolphins get in the playoffs if they go too

254
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: to zero and at least two of the following three

255
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: scenarios happen. The Broncos go oh to two, the Chargers

256
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: go oho and two, and or the Colts go one

257
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: and one. They also have some injury issues in Miami

258
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: once again that they're dealing with this week. As we

259
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the notable injuries around

260
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: the league. Tyreek Hilly you see him at the bottom

261
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: there list is questionable because of a risk. Sounds like

262
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: he's going to be fine to play in this game.

263
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: More uncertainty about Jalen Waddell, who's also listed as questionable.

264
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: JK Dobbins activated by the Chargers, he will be back

265
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: in the lineup tomorrow.

266
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: Big boost for them.

267
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, Chuba Hubbard, Malik Neighbors, Devonte Adams all listed

268
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: as questionable. So keep your fingers over the dial of

269
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: those fantasy lineups at least for a little bit longer.

270
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: Here Ian.

271
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 5: The Cleveland Browns had some news today. Sources say the

272
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: Browns agreed to terms on an adjusted contract for someone

273
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 5: who has been their quarterback for the last several seasons,

274
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson. Now this is complicated, so let me walk

275
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 5: you through it briefly. What this does is not change

276
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 5: the overall guaranteed money for Deshaun Watson. Still do ninety

277
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 5: two million dollars over the next year. That is not

278
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 5: going away. What this does is add a couple essentially

279
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: fake years to the contract and ease the cap burden

280
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 5: after the deal is over. In other words, in the

281
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 5: event that the Browns do want to move on from

282
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson in two seasons, it makes it easier for

283
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 5: them to do so. That said, the nuts of this story,

284
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: the crux of this story is that Deshaun Watson is

285
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 5: not going anywhere. He is expected back in Cleveland next season.

286
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 5: I would also expect them Tom to bring in competition

287
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 5: at the quarterback position, whether it's a rookie, depending on

288
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 5: where they're drafting, whether it's a veteran. But Deshaun Watson

289
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: is expected back in Cleveland at the least for next season.

290
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Watson's still on the books for forty six million dollars

291
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six. Is cap

292
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: number in each of those years still set for around

293
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: seventy three million, but they can still do salary conversions

294
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: at any time free up the cap space. One thing

295
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: that this deal does is once you do that, it

296
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: pushes the cap hits out even further beyond the end

297
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: of the deal. A lot of reasons for Cleveland to

298
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: do this, even at a time that as Ian mentioned

299
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: they have to thoroughly examine their quarterback options for twenty

300
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: twenty five. Coming up later in the show, Adam Rank

301
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: will be here. I said, keep your fingers over the

302
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: dial of your fancy lineups. Definitely do it till Rank

303
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: comes on and tells you maybe some surprise names that

304
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: you should have in your lineup. This week, We've also

305
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,239
Speaker 1: got a monster game in Minnesota.

306
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: I will be there. It's the Packers.

307
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: It's the vikings Tons on the line in terms of

308
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: seating and more for both these teams. Brian Baldinger will

309
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: be here to help me break that down. Also in

310
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: sad news today, longtime sportscaster Greg Gumble has passed away

311
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: after a lengthy battle with cancer at the age of

312
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: seventy eight. Gumble hosted CBS's coverage of the nineteen ninety

313
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: two and nineteen ninety four Winter Olympics called Major League

314
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: Baseball games, but football and basketball was where he was

315
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: best known and made the biggest impact, including as the

316
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: lead play by play announcer for two Super Bowls. CBS

317
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: Sports putting out a statement saying, in part, the CBS

318
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Sports family is devastated by the passing of Greg Gumble.

319
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: There has never been a finer gentleman in all of television.

320
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: I speak for myself, Mike Ian, everyone else from our

321
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: generation and others. Greg Gumble was certainly the voice of sports.

322
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: He will be missed. Always a good day when you're

323
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: a Green Bay Packer, certainly when you've wrapped up a

324
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: playoff spot and getting set for a monster game on

325
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: Sunday against your rival in Minnesota. As that post there says,

326
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: we're having a good Friday.

327
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 6: What about you?

328
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm told that wby means I don't know. I've never

329
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: seen that abbreviation before.

330
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't think a while.

331
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: Guess Brian Baldire also was caught off guard by that one. Baldy,

332
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about this game. Feel free to weigh in

333
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: on the acronyms as well. But that Packers run game.

334
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: Man watching it live, watching Josh Jacobs stiff arm people

335
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: in the next week, the physicality of the violence with

336
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: which they played with I don't remember seeing a Packers

337
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: team like that. What kind of impact does that group make?

338
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 4: Well?

339
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 7: I think it's a big impact because they've run the

340
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 7: ball really well, you know, over the.

341
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 8: Last well throughout the season.

342
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 7: But there's just a commitment to the run game from

343
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 7: Matt Laflora at Adamstenovich, the offensive coordinator, Josh Jacobs seventh

344
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 7: in the league in rushing. They run the ball more

345
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 7: than they throw it. They like to set everything up

346
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 7: off the run. You'll see Jordan Love under center a

347
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 7: great deal for play action passes. But I mean, John,

348
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 7: I think Josh Jacobs is having a great season. He

349
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 7: was there and but there for a reason. They wanted

350
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 7: a real thumper to kind of lead the rushing attack.

351
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 7: Dy they get there with Emmanuel Wilson in some other ways,

352
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 7: but he kind of sets the table in the run

353
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 7: game and the Vikings they'll have their hands full against

354
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 7: an elite runner, and really the commitment to it.

355
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 8: The tight ends.

356
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 7: The offense line has been stable now for number of weeks. Tom,

357
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 7: the same five guys, Zach, Tom Rashid Walker, Josh Myers,

358
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 7: those five guys up front, they've been up there every week,

359
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 7: so they kind of know how to attack you, and

360
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 7: all those different fronts that Brian Floores in the Vikings

361
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 7: will give you.

362
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: You watch those highlights.

363
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, whether he's making people miss or running through them.

364
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: What Josh Jacobs is doing right now. He replaced the

365
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: guy in Aery Jones who had been a core part

366
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: of that team. Now he's in Minnesota on the other

367
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: side of this on a Vikings team to Hey, they

368
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: can run the ball on you, they can also throw

369
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: it all over the place. Baldy with Justin Jefferson and

370
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison really emerging as that perfect compliment to him

371
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: on the other side.

372
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 7: I mean, just the two of them, I mean you

373
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 7: see him quite a bit right there downtown Minneapolis. But

374
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 7: I mean they have eighteen touchdown catches between the two

375
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 7: and they're looking to put up more numbers. And so

376
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 7: if you try to take away Justin Jefferson, they'll use

377
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 7: them as a decoy, knowing how the defense is going

378
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 7: to treat him, whether it's putting the number one corner

379
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 7: on them or bracketing them. When they do that, Jordan

380
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 7: Addison will shake loose. And really I would tell them

381
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 7: to also keep an eye on TJ. Hockinson, who's gotten

382
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 7: healthier and healthier as the season has gone on.

383
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 8: Has yet to.

384
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 7: Catch a touchdown bass but has a number of big catches.

385
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 7: And so if you leave, if you really try to

386
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 7: take those receivers away, you can't forget about TJ. Hockinson

387
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 7: in the middle of the field because he can burn

388
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 7: you as well. But this is an elite passing game.

389
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 7: You have to be careful. Your safeties have got to

390
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 7: be cognizant tom playing deep and preparing for any kind

391
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 7: of a deep shot because they're going to take their

392
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 7: shots down the field from Kevin O'Connell.

393
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 8: Sam Donald, a quarterback.

394
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: To talk to Jordan Addison today and he was saying, Hey,

395
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: you want to throw a left, we got Justiny. You

396
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: want to throw right, we got me. You want to

397
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 1: throw on the MILLI you got Hawkinson. It creates a

398
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: lot of different mismatches. Kevin O'Connell's certainly doing a great

399
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: job creating those, and also Sam Darnel hitting on them.

400
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 7: Baldi, Well, the thing I wanted to add is, it's unbelievable, though, Tom,

401
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 7: because the credit that Justin Jefferson and Jordan Adison give

402
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 7: Kevin O'Connell for what he's doing.

403
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 8: With the offense.

404
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 7: You don't often hear the players really brag about their

405
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 7: head coach and play caller and what he's able to

406
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 7: do and the adjustments he's able to make weekend week out, and.

407
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: That is why Kevin O'Connell is one of, if not

408
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: the front runner right now for NFL Coach of the Year. Baldy,

409
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: a lot more from you, so stick around coming up

410
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: after this, Let's talk about some of those matchups that

00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,679

Speaker 2: Joe Burrow.

Speaker 1: That's a pretty good matchup, and there's so much more

415
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: we'll break it down with Baldy right after this on

428
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 4: The Bengals can draw within.

429
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: A game of Denver, although they're going to need help

Speaker 3: from that team all the way on the left there

431
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 3: if they wind up playing their starters the Chiefs. In

432
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: Week eighteen, Jeffrey Jedia joining us as law as well

433
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: as Baldy back with us one more, Let's talk about

434
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: that Broncos Bengals game. What kind of challenges do Joe

435
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: and Jamar Chase present for this Broncos secondary Jeffrey.

436
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 9: Well, the Broncos have played great defense all year, but

437
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 9: head coach Sean Payne talked about specifically Joe Burrow and

438
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 9: Jamar Chase this week in what they represent as far

439
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 9: as the challenge goes. He loves what Joe Burrow does

440
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 9: as a quarterback, talks about his ability to climb the

441
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 9: pocket and create plays once the play breaks down. And

442
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 9: then Jamar Chase, you see him here. He revels at

443
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 9: his ability to run after the catch, talks about how

444
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 9: he's always catching the ball on balance, strong hands. This

445
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 9: is an offense that is averaging twenty eight points a game.

446
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: There, shixs in the NFL.

447
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 9: They're not the reason the Bengals are where they're at Baldy,

448
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 9: but they know that the Broncos, as good as they

449
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 9: are defensively, these guys can bust coverage and make huge

450
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 9: plays against you if you let them get loose.

451
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 7: You know, Jeffrey, I'm willing to pay major stub Hub

452
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 7: prices if i could just watch that game. Within the

453
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 7: game that's going to happen mar between the Patrick Shtan.

454
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 8: And Jamar Chase.

455
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 7: I mean, anybody that knows Pat Shirtan, He's all about

456
00:20:59,560 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 7: the action.

457
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 8: He wants the action. I mean, he he'll live and die.

458
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 8: He'll make his if he gets beat.

459
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 7: He gets beat, but he's going to go out there

460
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 7: and compete, and I believe we're going to see a

461
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 7: great deal of stan on Jamar Chase. Now there may

462
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 7: be other ways that way they can bracket them play,

463
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 7: you know, basically cloud them over the top.

464
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 8: There's things that they can do.

465
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 7: But I know Sirtan wants this action, and I think

466
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 7: this is going to be fun, fun.

467
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 8: Part of the game. Obviously, when you're the.

468
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 7: Number one passing offense in the NFL, Joe Burrow will

469
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 7: go to the open receiver, and Jamar Chase has famously

470
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 7: said last year that I'm open. I'm always bleeping open,

471
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 7: even if Sir Tan is on me. So that's going

472
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 7: to be fun to watch for me tomorrow afternoon.

473
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: Let's flip this now, because bow Knicks and the Broncos

474
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: passing game, they present their own challenges for lou Adromo's defense. Jeffrey,

475
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 3: what kind of problems can bow Nicks present for this

476
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: Bengal secondary bo.

477
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 9: Nicks is excited for this, for this challenge because he's

478
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 9: faced a number of MVP Calbert quarterbacks already and Lamar

479
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 9: Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, and he knows Joe Burrow going

480
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 9: back to his college of days.

481
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 6: I mean, that's how old bow Nix is.

482
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 9: He played against Joe Burrow Jamar Chase when he was

483
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 9: a freshman at Auburn in twenty nineteen. But he said

484
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 9: he understands that the Bengals are going to score points

485
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 9: and it's up to the Broncos defense and slow them down.

486
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 9: But the Broncos have to be just as good on

487
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 9: that side of the football. It comes down to execution.

488
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 9: Bodis is not shied away from these challenges. By the way,

489
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 9: when he played Mahomes and he played Lamar Jackson, he

490
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 9: lost those games, but he knew they had to score points.

491
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 6: It's going to be the same thing this week.

492
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 9: Body. They have to find a way to win this

493
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 9: game because it's huge for the wild card seating.

494
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 7: No question about it, Jeff, And honestly, I mean, Sean

495
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 7: Payton does not want to turn this thing into an

496
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 7: aerial circus. He's going to do his very best to

497
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 7: try to balance it up. We've seen him in the

498
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 7: recent weeks start Audri Costemi. We see him start Julia McClain,

499
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 7: Javonte Williams. I mean he's he's trying to find the

500
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 7: hot hand in the run game, and you know, the

501
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 7: Bengals have struggled in that department this year, and I'm

502
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 7: looking for Sean Payton to really try to balance this

503
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 7: up for you know that Joe Burrow doesn't, you know,

504
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 7: light it up early where you're just chasing point. So

505
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 7: I think the Broncos are going to try and balance it,

506
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 7: trying to establish the run as much as they can,

507
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 7: and you'll see bow knicks under center, a lot of

508
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 7: play action passes to take some deep shots down the field.

509
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

510
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: Julia McLaughlan off the injury report. Tyler Beday now back

511
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 3: in the mix and all he's listened as questionable if

512
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 3: they're practicing fully, So a lot of hands for Peyton

513
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 3: to play if he wants to find that hot hand

514
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: in the backfield.

515
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Brian Budinger, Thank you very.

516
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 6: Much, Jets Bills this weekend.

517
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 5: Josh Allen perfectly wrapped up and ready. Of course, we

518
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 5: always spend most of the season with his hand wrapped up,

519
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 5: no issues, now fully healthy, ready to go in someone

520
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 5: who I know is going to see that for sure,

521
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 5: live and in person.

522
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 6: Is my guy right there, Cameron Wolf, who's going to

523
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 6: be covering this game.

524
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 5: With the Buffalo Bills having a chance to lock up

525
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 5: the number two seed, make sure at the very least

526
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 5: the Bills get a home game in Nottry Park, which

527
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 5: I know is something their fans will be throwing themselves

528
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 5: through tables for.

529
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 6: So Cam, let's get to the game.

530
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: Walk me through the Bill's plan of action against his

531
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 5: New York Jets team.

532
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 10: Great to see you, Ian, Merry Christmas. The Bills plan

533
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 10: to go about this game clinching the two seed. That

534
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 10: is the main priority. I know there's been questions of

535
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 10: with the Chiefs clenching the one seed with they sit starters. No,

536
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 10: for this game, They're going to go all out. And

537
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 10: the side of that is a couple of defensive starters

538
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 10: and Matt Mlone and Rasoul Douglas deal with injuries.

539
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 6: They're gonna play.

540
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 10: This team knows they want to clench that two seed,

541
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 10: get that game at Orchard Park, but also they need

542
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 10: to see some elements of.

543
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 6: Their defense in this game.

544
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 10: In particular, remember this is a Bill's unit that gave

545
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 10: up forty points back to back games and then twenty

546
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 10: one to the Patriots early in the first quarter last week.

547
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 10: They want to know if this unit is not going

548
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 10: to be the one that hold them back, and so

549
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 10: a big opportunity for them against Aaron Rodgers looks like

550
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 10: Devontae Adams and Garrett Wilson to really sharpen their their

551
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 10: teeth before they get on this playoff hunt. They don't

552
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 10: need to be an elite defensive bunch. They are top

553
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 10: three in takeaways. They have the biggest point turnover differential

554
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 10: in the NFL. They want to use those turnovers to

555
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 10: lead them into the playoffs and so eager to see

556
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 10: how they play against the Jets offense this week. Something

557
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 10: to watch, but one.

558
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 5: Reason they don't have to be elitist because Josh Allen

559
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: has been a lead enough for everyone in MVP caliber

560
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 5: season put himself right in the next I don't know

561
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 5: if he's the favorite favorite, but he is at least

562
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 5: one of the favorites. How is Josh Allen going about

563
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 5: the last couple games looking to improve upon the.

564
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 6: Resume he's already put on the field.

565
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he's certainly one of the front runners for MVP,

566
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 10: and his offensive line gifted him an MVP Diamond chain

567
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 10: this week sort of a signal of his great season,

568
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 10: and he's certainly been worthy. You look at Josh Allen,

569
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 10: he's having the lowest turnover eight of his career with

570
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 10: coming off a year where they got rid of Stefan Diggs,

571
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 10: and he's done it largely making better decisions, putting the

572
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 10: team on his back, and they've been a better Bills

573
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 10: team because of it. But the Bills have had conversations

574
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 10: about what it will look like when they.

575
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 6: Clicks the two seeds.

576
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 10: Will they sit Josh Allen try to get healthy for

577
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 10: the playoffs and they'll make that decision once the game's

578
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 10: actually clinched. But Brandon, being their general manager, told me

579
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 10: he's pretty confident that if he tells Josh, you've got

580
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 10: to sit a game, you got us sit a quarter

581
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 10: that Josh is going to value the Super Bowl over

582
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 10: putting up stats for this MVP.

583
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 6: Perfect world, you get both of them.

584
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 10: But we could be looking at a situation where Week eighteen,

585
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 10: the Bills decide to rest, and maybe that means Josh

586
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 10: Allen doesn't get another game to put up some stacks.

587
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 5: All about the Greater Good, all about that Super Bowl

588
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 5: mission Cam I know what they say about Florida guys

589
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: being all the way up there in the cold, So

590
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 5: bundle up, extra mittens, extra long underwear.

591
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 6: I just bundle it all up. I'm You're in my

592
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 6: thoughts in prayer.

593
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,760

595
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 6: to talking to you very soon.

596

Speaker 1: It's time now to go inside with NFL Fantasy Live

599
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 2: Adam.

600
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: Everywhere that I went shopping, well, the ninety five percent

601
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: of shop I did online, but the five percent when

602
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: I actually went into a store, they all had these signs.

603
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: We got the extended return policy sixty days, ninety days,

604
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: no receipt will pay you to take.

605
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: This thing back.

606
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: I understand, though you've got no return policy for fantasy football.

607
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, these are players you're just gonna have to start

608
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 11: this week. And by the way, I gotta be honest,

609
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 11: I'm so bummed that I forgot that Ian was in studio.

610
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 11: I was so intent I'm running home to watch the

611
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 11: Arsenal match and not having it spoiled for me I

612
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 11: forgot or else I would have hung out with Ian

613
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 11: and then we could have gone and returned some gifts.

614
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 11: I know I'm able to hear this in twenty minutes,

615
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 11: but we're running to roll now.

616
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: All right, how about some quarterbacks?

617
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 4: Right?

618
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: Do you cannot return here in Fantasy eight Championship Week?

619
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna go with one quarterback.

620
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go with bo Nicks in this one, and

621
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 11: I will I will say that listening to Baldy talk

622
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 11: about I'm hedging a little bit. But no, I really

623
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 11: like bo Nix this week. Now, as I say this,

624
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 11: you're still starting Josh Allen and Jayden Daniels over him.

625
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 11: We had a question about that on the Fantasy Show,

626
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 11: like no, no, no, this is if you've lost Dak Prescott

627
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 11: this season or Jalen Hurts for instance, who's not going

628
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 11: to play? Bo Nix is a pretty nice option. I

629
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 11: love the matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, who've allowed a

630
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 11: lot of production to opposing quarterbacks this season. If they

631
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 11: are ready to run some play action, he'll take some

632
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 11: deep chances. Guys like Devon Veley have done very well

633
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 11: with him. They're running the ball a little bit better,

634
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 11: So I like bo Nicks this week. He's a low

635
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 11: end QB one. Don't return it, don't throw away the receipt.

636
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 11: You can start Bo Nicks this week.

637
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 5: First of all, rank who was great hanging out with

638
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 5: you today during NFL Fantasy. I've actually thought I brought

639
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 5: a lot of juice to the show. Probably one of

640
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 5: the best episodes you guys have had all season, mostly

641
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 5: due to my in studio presidence. Anyway, why don't you

642
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: give us a running back? And I definitely can return,

643
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 5: Not that I would, my team is again terrible.

644
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 11: Well, I wouldn't return the shoes that you were wearing

645
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 11: today because those were on fire. Go check out Ian's instagram.

646
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 11: You can see a photo of those shoes. They are

647
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 11: on point. And a running back who's on point over

648
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 11: the last couple of weeks has been a Mira of Doula,

649
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 11: a surprise addition to your fantasy roster over the last

650
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 11: couple of weekends and nineteen plus fantasy points in back.

651
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: To back games.

652
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 11: A big reason why is that he catches the ball.

653
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 11: He's had at least five receptions and forty receiving yards

654
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 11: in those games. He's getting scrimmage yards but the best

655
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 11: part about this is the matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

656
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 11: They've allowed the third most rushing yards to running backs

657
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 11: this season, almost five yards per carry. Now, two weeks ago,

658
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 11: we tried this out with Brian Robinson Junior. It didn't work,

659
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 11: but that's on Brian Robinson Junior. He carried the ball

660
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 11: twenty one times. There's not much more we could do,

661
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 11: and last week Green Bay ran the ball a lot

662
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 11: against this Saints team. Now, obviously Josh Jacobs played just

663
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 11: half of a football game and the other two curtain

664
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 11: jerkers came in and were able to get the other

665
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 11: two touchdowns. But I love a mirror of Dula this week.

666
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: No receipts needed here. I'm in the championship game.

667
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: I know you talked about it on Fantasy Line.

668
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 4: You guys gave me a hard time. I don't care.

669
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 4: I'm in it with the help of Michael f Florio.

670
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: So give me some advice as I head into my

671
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: championship game, which JSN didn't get me off to a

672
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: great start. But give me some wide receivers and tight

673
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: ends that can help.

674
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: Me rank well.

675
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 11: You're gonna get some high upside here now again, if

676
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 11: you need to go on to the waiver wire to

677
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 11: replace Ceedee Lamb, I know you have Jordan Addison on

678
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 11: your team. He's going to be just fine. I would

679
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 11: start him this week. And I know a lot of

680
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 11: people have Lad mccacky, who has been wonderful for the

681
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 11: Los Angeles Chargers this season. And again another great matchup

682
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 11: against the New Orleans Saints, who've allowed the seventh most

683
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 11: yards per pass this season. They've allowed seven yards per

684
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 11: pass attempt this year. They've allowed a lot of touchdowns.

685
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 11: They allow a lot of touchdowns and don't turn the

686
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 11: ball over either create turnovers for themselves.

687
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 6: They don't get to the quarterback as well.

688
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 11: The state the Patriots have just twenty eight sacks this

689
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 11: season and that's tied for the second fewest in the NFL,

690
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 11: which means it's gonna be a lot of time for

691
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 11: Justin Herbert to go out there and throw the ball

692
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 11: all over the field. And again, if you have Justin Herbert,

693
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 11: I would feel comfortable with him. And speaking of former Chargers,

694
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 11: Hunter Henry has been great. He's had at least thirteen

695
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 11: Fantasy points in two out of his last three games.

696
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 11: He has targeted an awful lot, He's at least eight

697
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 11: targets and five of his last seven four plus receptions

698
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 11: and five consecutive games. He is their leading pass catcher.

699
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 11: He leads a team in targets, receptions, receiving yards, all

700
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 11: that stuff. Drake May is looking like a pretty good

701
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 11: quarterback prosect prospect, and the guy that he searches for

702
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 11: every time he drops back is Hunter Henry. So go

703
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 11: ahead and start him this week, especially if you need

704
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 11: a tight end, which seems to be an academic. Please

705
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 11: tell me you're not starting Kyle Pitts because I know

706
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 11: that Florio loves the Kyle Pitts and I'm sure he

707
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 11: jammed him onto your roster this year.

708
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 8: I hope that you dropped him.

709
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 6: Nope, nope, nope a rank.

710
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 5: Can we first take a second hell gariful how we

711
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 5: absolutely destroyed him on NFL Fantasy Live today, And I'll

712
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 5: give you a hint, Mike, we really made fun of

713
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 5: you for your frantic ceedy lamb text not being ready

714
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 5: for it, just a total mess. I know you're in

715
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 5: the files, but we just anyway, we crushed you for that.

716
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 4: We talked about it last week. It well, Addison's good,

717
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 4: but you.

718
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 11: Also gonna have Brandon Cooks ready to go.

719
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 6: You're okay, could have been okay.

720
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 11: But the late night text Florio, I'm assuming it's Florio married.

721
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 11: I don't know, but is like he's got a family.

722
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 11: I'm assuming when you're texting him late at.

723
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 6: Night on the same show him every day of the year.

724
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 6: I'm not he's on.

725
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 4: I'm not on.

726
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 6: He's on one day a week.

727
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 11: He's on this show more than he's on ours.

728
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 6: He's yours. How's your family? I mean at one time.

729
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 11: I mean once, I think he has a dog. Maybe

730
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 11: that's it. Still, that's not the point. The point of

731
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 11: the the point of the thing is is stop texting

732
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 11: the young man so late at night. He's uh, he's

733
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 11: too busy. He can't do take Eddy's West Coast here,

734
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 11: I mean on Maybe it's maybe it's the early morning

735
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 11: ones that are bad. But okay, but you can also

736
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 11: text me I got nothing to do.

737
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: Rank, Thank you very much. As always, see if you're.

738
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: Worthy in the backfield.

739
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 12: Now they go quick pass left at the five angling

740
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 12: left front pylon.

741
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 8: Touchdown.

742
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 12: This is from the Steeler eleven your side throwing the

743
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 12: end zone Todd Todd touchdown justin Watson becomes the hero

744
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 12: of the drive handoff Kareem Hunt counter coming to the.

745
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: Near sideway for a block and into the end zone.

746
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 12: Holmes will throw again right side with a little bit

747
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 12: of room, slings it.

748
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 9: Side on into the end zone.

749
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 12: A historic touchdown for Travis Kelsey is seventy seven touchdown

750
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 12: reception and all time Kansas City Chiefs record. And they

751
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 12: get to buy at fifteen and one, beating the Steelers

752
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 12: twenty nine to ten.

753
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: Like it or not, and a lot of you watching don't.

754
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are once again the number one overall seed.

755
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: They got a first round playoff by will it all

756
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: turn into a three peat? For that, we bring in

757
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: our Jeffrey Chedea, Brian Valdinger, and Adam Rank. Jeffrey, I'll

758
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: see it to you in a more constructive way if

759
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: if somebody can prevent the Chiefs from three pet who

760
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: is it?

761
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 9: I got two teams, and I'll start with the team

762
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 9: that beat them this year, the Buffalo Bills, because I

763
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 9: love what Josh Allen has been doing. They have the

764
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 9: kind of offense that can.

765
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 8: Put pressure on the Chiefs.

766
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 9: Tias for more grinds it out offense this year, the

767
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 9: Bills have been scoring points like crazy. Can get to

768
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 9: forty pretty easily. But the big thing here is he's

769
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 9: a mobile quarterback. Steves Bagnell's defenses have problems with mobile quarterbacks,

770
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 9: and he has an offensive line that can protect him.

771
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 9: He's only been sacked fourteen times, they only have eight

772
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 9: turnovers on the year. All these things to me telling

773
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 9: me they can really put up put up some points

774
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 9: against the Chiefs. My number two team is the Philadelphia Eagles,

775
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 9: and I know people love the Detroit Lions, but they

776
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 9: are banged up. I don't know what their defense is

777
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 9: going to look.

778
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 6: Like if they get to the Super Bowl.

779
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 9: Eagles, I do know what they had with Dick Fangio,

780
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 9: a guy who saw the Chiefs a lot when he

781
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 9: was the head coach in Denver. He gave them problems defensively.

782
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 9: Had always had a nice strategy for Mahomes and his secondary.

783
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 9: You look at guys like Leynon Mitchell and Cooper dejen

784
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 9: and Darius Slay and C. J. Garner Johnson, they match

785
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 9: up well what the Chiefs do and their front. He

786
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 9: can give the chief problem.

787
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 8: Good choices, Jeff. I mean, obviously Buffalo would be in

788
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 8: AFC a playoff match, and perhaps.

789
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 7: If it was the Eagles, that would be a rematch

790
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 7: of Super Bowl from two years ago where they dominated

791
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 7: the Eagles in the second half.

792
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 8: I have two other choice.

793
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 7: So I think the Baltimore Ravens are playing great football

794
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 7: right now.

795
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 8: We know that they met in the NFC Championship Game a.

796
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 7: Year ago in Baltimore, and I think people in Baltimore

797
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 7: are still talking about the fact that they didn't try

798
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 7: to run the ball enough against the Chiefs, and I

799
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 7: don't think that could happen this year. With Derek Henry Beck,

800
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 7: there be kind of hard to forget about that two

801
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty pounds workhorse and what he has accomplished

802
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 7: this year. So I think they could stay on point.

803
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 7: And defensively they've gotten a lot better over the last

804
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 7: five weeks and they're scoring in those last four wins

805
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 7: four of the last five games. They're putting up over

806
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 7: thirty points a game. The other team I would say

807
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 7: from the NFC if they would beat in the Super

808
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 7: Bowls in Detroit Lions, and we know that they've been

809
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 7: hit hard by injuries on defense, but the offense is

810
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 7: still it's still the number one offensive football and even

811
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 7: if you lose David Montgomery's Jamier Gibbs has proven that

812
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 7: he could be the number one back. He's proven it

813
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 7: last year, he's proven it this year. When Montgomery is down,

814
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 7: he can pick up the slack for both. And then

815
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 7: there's James and Williams who can hit a home run

816
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 7: from anywhere on the field in eighty two yard touchdown

817
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 7: catch a week ago. And the offensive line is as

818
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 7: good as there is at football. So while the defense

819
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 7: Bay struggle offensively, they can still put up a big number.

820
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 7: So I think Detroit in the Super Bowl could be

821
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 7: a team that could knocked him from their their dreams

822
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 7: of being a three pat.

823
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a good point, Baldi have ball. Both of

824
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 11: you rate points all the way around. But one team

825
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 11: that I feel like gets overlooked an awful lot is

826
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 11: the Minnesota Vikings. This team is just humming along, keeping

827
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 11: pace with the Detroit Lions, doing their thing, kind of

828
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 11: under the radar. To me, it reminds me a lot

829
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 11: of the nineteen ninety eight season, but this is a reverse.

830
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 11: Instead of being the team that everybody is talking about,

831
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 11: they're kind of flying under the radar, similar to what

832
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 11: the Atlanta Falcons did that season. And one of the

833
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 11: things I really love about the Vikings that they win

834
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 11: close games. That is not a fluke. I know people

835
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 11: will point to like, ah, this team gets lucky. No, no, no, no.

836
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 6: When you go out there.

837
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 11: And consistently win one score games, it's because you're well

838
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 11: coached and you know what you're doing when you're out there.

839
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 2: The defense is playing.

840
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 11: Great, They've got perhaps the best receiver in the NFL,

841
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 11: and Justin Jefferson. When they need somebody to make a

842
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 11: big play, they know that they can rely on Justin Jefferson.

843
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 11: So to me, I think the Vikings are widely overlooked

844
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 11: and I think they have a really good chance to

845
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 11: revenge that Super Bowl four loss for Bud Grant. Do

846
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 11: it for Bud Grant. Yeah, But I will say this,

847
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 11: so that's my NFC team. You know what I really

848
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 11: like the Cincinnati Bengals when we're looking at teams in

849
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 11: the AFC that just don't back down from the Kansas

850
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 11: City Chiefs, a team that's willing to go out there

851
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 11: and try to go toe to toe. You talked about

852
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 11: the Ravens like being or not running the football. The

853
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 11: Bills seem to have their problems with them. The Bengals

854
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 11: have no problem with them. The only thing is they

855
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 11: might not make to the playoffs. They've got a huge

856
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 11: match this week against the against the Denver Broncos, and

857
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 11: they got to just get into the playoffs. But the

858
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 11: Bengals are one of those sides that if they do

859
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 11: get into the playoffs, I think they could be an

860
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 11: awful lot of trouble, especially for the for the Kansas

861
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 11: City Chiefs. If it's not Justin Jefferson is the best

862
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 11: receiver in the game, it's going to.

863
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 4: Be Jamar Chase.

864
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 11: The defense is not playing great, but lou Anarrumo always

865
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 11: finds a way to rise to the occasion, and I

866
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 11: think the Bengals could be some problems.

867
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: The Bengals in order to get into the playoffs would

868
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: have to win their last two games. If the Broncos

869
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: go oh and two to the Colts go one and one,

870
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: are worse, and the Dolphins go one.

871
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 4: Or one or worse.

872
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: So that's it pretty straightforward here, and it all starts out,

873
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: Thank you guys very much, on NFL Network as part

874
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: of the triple header on Saturday, exclusively on NFL Network,

875
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: It's Chargers Patriots at one pm. Eastern, followed by the

876
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: aforementioned Broncos Bengals tilt at four pm Eastern, and then

877
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: it is Cardinals Rams at eight o'clock. It's all Tomorrow,

878
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: December twenty eighth, only on NFL Network and streaming on

879
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: NFL Plus. Subscription required for NFL Plus. Say Kwan Barkley

880
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: can afford that NFL Plus subscription. He got a big

881
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: contract and he has earned every penny of it. But

882
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: will he also break one of the NFL's storied records,

883
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: the single season rushing mark. I know one guy who

884
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: would prefer not to have that happen. We'll explain next

885
00:39:52,280 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: on The Insiders. Big news in the NFL Plus erase

886
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts officially ruled out for Sunday's game

887
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. He remains in concussion proto call from

888
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: the hit that he sustained last week against Washington. It

889
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: will be Kenny Pickett who's off the injury report despite

890
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: getting a rib injury last week. He gets the start.

891
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: Take a look at the clinching scenarios this week, and

892
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: remember the Eagles still need to get a win or

893
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: Washington loss to wrap up the NFC East title. The

894
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: Lions also can clinch everything, including the number one seed,

895
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: if they win and the Vikings lose. Meanwhile, the Rams

896
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: and the Falcons, both in the driver's seat in their divisions,

897
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: would get in with a win plus a little bit

898
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: of help. Speaking of the Eagles, Saquon Barkley now just

899
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty eight yards away from breaking Eric

900
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: Dickerson's single season rushing record, which has stood for forty years.

901
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson, I'm not thrilled with.

902
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: The idea of that.

903
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: He talked to the Los Angeles Times and said, quote,

904
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll break it, but if he breaks,

905
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: and he breaks it, do I want him to break it?

906
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I don't pull no punches on that. But

907
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm not whined about it. He had seventeen games to

908
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: do it. Hey, football is football. That's the way I

909
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: look at it. If he's fortunate to get over two

910
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: thousand yards to get the record, it's a great record

911
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: to have. Que the debate seeing over seventeen games versus

912
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: sixteen games versus fourteen games once upon a time, it's

913
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: the record. You're regardless, Savera. Although it would help Saquon

914
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: if maybe and get two sixty nine.

915
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 5: This week, let me just applaud Eric Dickerson as someone

916
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 5: who has lived their life is really appreciating all petty

917
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 5: situations and trying to exact petty revenge on many many people. Kid,

918
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 5: I really appreciate this. He shouldn't want Saquon to break it, Mike.

919
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 5: If I were him, I certainly would not. He worked

920
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 5: so hard for this record, had an unbelievable season. Why

921
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 5: would he want someone else to have this success he had?

922
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 6: Get out of there, Saquon.

923
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 5: If I'm Eric Dickerson as a football fan, I don't care,

924
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 5: But I'm just saying.

925
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 6: If I'm Dickerson, I support this.

926
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but listen the other I can counter his.

927
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 3: I understand what he's saying about the extra game, but

928
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 3: I can counter that because Saquon Barkley's playing in an

929
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 3: era where the pass game has been prioritized. Number one

930
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: and number two usually multiple running backs. So the fact

931
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 3: that he has become the workhorse for the Eagles and uh,

932
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 3: you know, three hundred and fourteen carries right now to

933
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: Dickerson's three seventy nine. It's about the same. Yeah, I listen.
