1
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Break out your face, pain, headband and chains. It is

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: officially Jackson Dark Time in New York. We will take

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: you inside the decision to bench Russell Wilson after an

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: zero to three start, and what play in Dart now

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: means for the Giants in twenty twenty five and beyond.

6
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: The bills are three to zero and while they're high

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: powered offense, League MVP get the headlines that defense is

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: starting around into form as well. Stand out cornerback Christian

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Benford will join us tonight to talk about how much

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: better Buffalo can get.

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: Your fantasy team can surely get better.

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: Too, and if you've got the magic touch on the

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: waiver wire, that just might happen. Our guy, Michael f

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Floria will be here to give you a few tricks

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: that'll make your roster holes disappear. Welcome inside with the Insiders,

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: presented by Progressive Insurance alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafolo.

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: I am Tom Pelisero.

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Week three now in the books, Week four just two

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: days away, and the Giants have a new QB one.

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: That is where we begin tonight with the breaking news

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's gonna play, and not just in a package

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: with sometime of run play here and there. He is

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna get his first NVIL start on Sunday against the

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Chargers while the veteran Russell Wilson goes to the bench.

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: From the moment the Giants trade up the draft Dard

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: at number twenty five, overall felt like a matter of

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: time until he got his shot. Well, here we are,

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: It's week four, the Giants are zero to three, getting

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: set to welcome a red hot three to zero Chargers

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: team to MetLife Stadium.

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: Ian why now.

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: It was time? I mean that is the simplest answer,

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: and not just because of the product that Russell Wilson

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 3: putting on the field just was not good enough anymore.

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: I mean that that red zone possession certainly will not

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: be something that will be immortalized in the Hall of

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: Fame alongside Russell Wilson's statue his last pass sending it

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: into the goalpost on fourth down.

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: Just it was time.

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he was starting to look like that Russell

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: Wilson end of the year with the Steelers last year.

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 3: Simply it was too much to watch for us, for

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: the fans and those in the Giants building, and so

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: yes to pull Russ that made sense. But the reason,

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: Mike Wey this makes the most sense is because Jackson

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: Dart is ready. The inside the building, I know there

47
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: is overwhelming excitement to put him on the field. He

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: really impressed in training camp. In the small bits that

49
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: we've seen on the field, he has been productive. At

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: some point, you got to see the future Giants would

51
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: have loved, loved just wait a couple of weeks, get

52
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: through the tough part of the schedule, could not do

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: it anymore, have to play Jackson Art. Brian Dabow in

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: forming both quarterbacks today that the future is now for

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: the New York Giants.

56
00:02:54,520 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: Mike, there's just no early easy entry point with this schedule.

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: The Charger is going to be a challenge, but it's

58
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: at home. Next week you get the Saints. Okay, it's

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: on the road though in a loud environment, even though

60
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: the team is not necessarily considered a playoff team. And

61
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: then when do you want to do I mean, do

62
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: you want to do it? Two games against the Eagles

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 4: in three weeks, with the game against the Broncos Sandwich,

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: there's just no great You'd have to wait out this

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: entire stretch. And right now, I firmly believe that they

66
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 4: think this is not just about getting him in there,

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 4: but they think this is going to be better for

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: the team, and they everything along the way that they

69
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: have handed him, he's handled and there's been an unshakable confidence.

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: There's been a performance in training camp, in the preseason,

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: and then from my understanding, during the regular season, he's

72
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: been really.

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: Good in practice as well.

74
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: So that package was a way of introducing things during

75
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: the regular season to see how's he he can handle it.

76
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,279
Speaker 2: So this way he's getting.

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: Some work as he's getting ready to start.

78
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: You're radian, the time was now.

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: As for Russell Wilson, thirty six years old. Since leading Seattle,

80
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: he has now gone one and done with four consecutive

81
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: coaching staffs, two in Denver, one in Pittsburgh where they

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: didn't try to resign him this offseason, and now with

83
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: the Giants. If anyone is going to continue to persevere

84
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: and play, it would beat Russell Wilson. But it does

85
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: seem like his time to be a starter anywhere in

86
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: the NFL may well now be over.

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: As for Giants.

88
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: Fans, you can only imagine that they had a lot

89
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: of thoughts on the developments of the past forty eight hours.

90
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 5: Dable is a lame duck right now at his play Calm, Captus,

91
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 5: play Calm.

92
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 6: It's terrible.

93
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 7: This guy's this kid's gonna have no offensive line.

94
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 8: That performance from Russell Wilson was a pusive I never

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 8: want to see him in a giant ever again.

96
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 9: I don't think people realize that Jackson Dart is not

97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 9: going to be this player right away. He is not

98
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 9: going to be Eli going in for Kurt Warren. I

99
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 9: don't know why people are getting so excited over this.

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 9: The offensive line is going to get him killed, and

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 9: part of me thinks that's why people were saying James

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 9: Winston should start.

103
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 10: All right.

104
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: It's a lot of optimism on the air wage apparently,

105
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: as we welcome at our Brian Baldinger and Mark Ross

106
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: to the conversation. Mark, you worked in that building for

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: a long period of time. You know that market, you

108
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: know that franchise. You know since Eli Manning, the number

109
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: of different things that they have tried to get the

110
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: position right and amely stick with Daniel Jones as long

111
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: as they did. From your perspective, what you know about

112
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart, your expertise here, What do you think about

113
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: this move. Now, what are you expecting to see? Well,

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: first of all, those were mild calls right there. They

115
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: picked some easy ones right there to put on the air.

116
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 7: But this whole situation here with the Giants and Jackson

117
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 7: Dark coming into the season, seeing that schedule, I thought

118
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 7: this was a two win team.

119
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 11: Anyway.

120
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 7: I didn't have a lot of high expectations because I

121
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 7: thought Russ was cooked and because Jamis was more of

122
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 7: a comedy show at this point, so I thought this

123
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 7: season was more about when is Jackson Dart going to play?

124
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 7: And of course we've seen the struggles already so far.

125
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 7: And then with the pressure, there's always pressure there and

126
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 7: a lot of voices in that building, John Marraby and

127
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 7: one of them, and knowing he's listening to those calls,

128
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 7: he hears the fans, so that pressure that he is

129
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 7: putting on everyone to say, we've got to get this.

130
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: Guy in sooner rather than later.

131
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 7: And then with Brian Dabole and Joe Shane, they need

132
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 7: to get him in sooner rather than later as well

133
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 7: because their jobs might be on the line.

134
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 6: Baldy, possibly, I don't think I've tek you definitely on

135
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 6: the line, Mark, but I don't think they made this

136
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 6: move to save their job. I believe that you have

137
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 6: to You have to tell your team the truth, and

138
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 6: you can't lie to your team and tell you that

139
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson right now is the best opportunity, the best

140
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 6: option to win games. He's simply leaving too many plays

141
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 6: on the field. There's too many points on the board

142
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 6: right now. Just to go routes last night against double

143
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 6: coverage to the receivers was bad decisions. He sacked himself

144
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 6: week one right there against the Commanders. They can talk

145
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 6: about the offensive line all they want. The quarterback has

146
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 6: maneuver in the pocket. These throws right there, you can't

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 6: live with them. But there was too many plays just

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 6: not the red zone last night. The first red zone.

149
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 6: This first red zone was bad. The first and goal

150
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 6: with the one against the Commander is when they came

151
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 6: away with nothing was bad. They need better play at

152
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 6: the quarterback position. Maybe there's not a good time tom

153
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 6: to put him in, but I would play it. I've

154
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 6: been around that kid. I'm not saying he has it

155
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 6: or anything. I'm not going to be foolish. He's got

156
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 6: to take his lumps like every other starting quarterback. But

157
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 6: I think this kid has enough where he's been in

158
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 6: all over the SEC and every tough place to go play,

159
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 6: and he's played well. And I think he's going to

160
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 6: ignite something in that team because they need it right now,

161
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 6: not just a spark, but a future where fans and

162
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 6: the players go, all right, we can roll with this guy.

163
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 6: No matter what kind of mistakes he might make early on,

164
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 6: I think that he's going to learn from them, and

165
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 6: I'd be surprised if he makes a lot of them

166
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 6: a second or third time.

167
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: Based upon the booze every time Russell Wilson came in

168
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: the game, and the cheers every time that Jackson Dart

169
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: came in the game on Sunday night, fair to say

170
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: he's going to get effectively a hero's welcome on Sunday.

171
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: We will see.

172
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Exactly how long that lasts against a very good Chargers team.

173
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: We did have non Giants news around the league and

174
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: in the NFC East over the past couple of days.

175
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: Let's start out with Cowboys wide receiver Ceedee Lamb, who

176
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: is injured on that play right there, suffered a high

177
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: ankle spring as Ian has reported is a multiple week

178
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: injury for Ceedee Lamb. Jerry Jones is not ruled out

179
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: injured reserve, but at this point seems like CD may

180
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: have a chance to get back in under four weeks.

181
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: They face the.

182
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Packers on Sunday night, and we'll have to go without

183
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: their top wide receiver, Mike.

184
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 4: Speaking of top receivers, Hall of Fame receivers, future Hall

185
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: of Fame receivers, Mike Evans got that hamstring injury suffered

186
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 4: against the Jets the other day. This is a bad,

187
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: bad sign for a Buccaneers team that's already banged up.

188
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: Here's the good news.

189
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: Doesn't seem like it's as bad as last year when

190
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: he missed four games with the injury.

191
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: So the hope is.

192
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: For the Buccaneer they keep them off ir and he's

193
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: back in let's say about three, two or three weeks

194
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: something like that. We shall see, but better news that

195
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 4: it could have been ian. Mike Evan's gonna miss some time,

196
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 4: but not too much.

197
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: Let's stay on the topic of star receivers dealing with

198
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: annoying injuries. Terry mcclaurin, the Commander's star receiver. He's dealing

199
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 3: with a quad injury, getting additional opinions and trying to

200
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: figure out what is going on. Certainly seems like while

201
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 3: this is I would say be more considered day to day,

202
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: certainly seemed like missing Sunday's game is at least a

203
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: possibility for the Houston Texans. They made a major move

204
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: on defense earlier today.

205
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: They released CJ. Gardner Johnson.

206
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: Remember they traded for him from the Philadelphia Eagles and

207
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 3: kind of a complicated trade pick swopper in the I

208
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: hoped he would hold down the back end of the defense.

209
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: Best thing I can say, Tom, this relationship run its

210
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: course at ran its course, as it always seems to

211
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: with CJGJ. The Texans moved on earlier today.

212
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: Week three wrapped up Monday night with a really good game.

213
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: Is Lamar Jackson and the Ravens going up against Dan Campbell,

214
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: Jared Goff and the Lions Detroit coming off a breakout performance,

215
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: and that offense.

216
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: Was rolling again. Fourth quarter, game tied at twenty one.

217
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: How about the nifty design right there at Jamior Gibbs

218
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: going in for a four yard touchdown of the double pitch.

219
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: Later on in the fourth quarter, Derrick Henry again another fumble.

220
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: Take another look here, Aiden Hutchinson with the effort comes

221
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: up from behind. Henry punches that ball out third straight

222
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: week with a fumble four King Henry, who is plainly

223
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: frustrated on the bench.

224
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: End of the fourth quarter.

225
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Now Lions lead thirty one twenty four, under two minutes

226
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: to play. Jared Goff going off of play action, Dan

227
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: Campbell going for you know he always does. It's fourth

228
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: and two. Goff goes deep. What about that touch? What

229
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: a throw to a'man ross Saint Brown. Lions win on

230
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: the road thirty eight to thirty. Welcome Mark and Baldi

231
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: back into the conversation. Bald and we spent a lot

232
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: of time this off season talking about how exactly would

233
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: this Detroit offense be with Ben Johnson moving on to Chicago.

234
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: The alarm bells would offer plenty of people in Week one,

235
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: but you watch them last night.

236
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: And he'd say, this is the Lions that we've seen before.

237
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 6: They said all the fears, and they did everything they

238
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 6: wanted to do against the Ravens, including an eighteen play

239
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 6: ninety eight yard drive converting fourth downs with three different

240
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 6: fourth down conversions, three different plays.

241
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 12: The play was ready and it was executed perfectly.

242
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 6: But up front, honestly, I could draw up the run

243
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 6: game of the Detroit Lions in three plays. They ran

244
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 6: the same three plays, but it was really really well executed.

245
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 6: And that law firm of Decker Mahogany Glasgow, rat Legend

246
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 6: sewell along with the tight ends Brock right right there

247
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 6: and Laporta, they were excellent, excellent in concert, no misd

248
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 6: assignments from what I saw.

249
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 12: Both backs got off, Jared Goff had a.

250
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 6: Pretty easy night finding the receivers when he was asked

251
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 6: to do it. That was a fine display of offense.

252
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 6: And I think you know Johnny Morton coming in, the

253
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 6: new offensive linean came in. That was a good test

254
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 6: on the road and they were up to the test.

255
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 6: That was almost a virtuoso.

256
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 12: Performance by the Lions offense.

257
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: When the schedule came out, we looked at what the

258
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: Ravens mark we're going to have to do early in

259
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: the season, obviously opening up against Buffalo, having Detroit on

260
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: the schedule week three to got the Chiefs coming up

261
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: after this, and if you go back through these games,

262
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: they had chances to put them away. The common threat

263
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: has been self inflicted error, specifically Derek Henry Henry fumbling

264
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: the football. What do you make of where Baltimore stands

265
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: at one and two and now having to stave off

266
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: one and three.

267
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 7: Despite all their success over the past few years, I've

268
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 7: always said that the only team that can beat the

269
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 7: Ravens are themselves, And even when they win, they just

270
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 7: never looked like a good football team. They don't look

271
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 7: like a well coached football team. And you saw that

272
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 7: last night with the twenty mits tackles on defense with

273
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 7: the King Henry fumble. But the most egregious thing for

274
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 7: me is that they just didn't make any adjustments. So

275
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 7: on the offensive side of the ball, when they passed

276
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 7: the Troit essentially rush three. They had a spy, they

277
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 7: played man under with safeties over the top, and the

278
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 7: Ravens lamar the offensive quarter didn't make any adjustments to

279
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 7: counter what they were doing.

280
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: Thus you saw the seven sacks.

281
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 7: And then on the defensive side of the ball, Baldy,

282
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 7: as you mentioned the run game, I mean Detroit just

283
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 7: ran between the tackles and the Ravens didn't load the box,

284
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 7: they didn't try to slamt they didn't try they didn't

285
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 7: try anything different to try to stop what Detroit was doing.

286
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 7: So going forward, I don't know what it's going to

287
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 7: take because we know they have the talent, but we

288
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 7: can't just keep saying that they have to live up

289
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 7: to the talent. Guys have to really start playing with

290
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 7: grit and a winning mindset like Detroit did last night,

291
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 7: and have a little bit better coaching and consistency what

292
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 7: they're doing there, Tom.

293
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: Time now for the Wolf of Ball Street.

294
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: Our guy Cameron Wolf joining me Tom Pilaicero here on

295
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: The Insiders presented by Progressive Insurance. Cam is one of

296
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: our best to most plugged in reporters. What are you

297
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: hearing around on the league as.

298
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 5: We get set to roll in the week four Cam, Tom,

299
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 5: Let's start the Wolf of Ball Street in Buffalo, where

300
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 5: the three and oh Bills continue to dominate the AFC East.

301
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: I'm a big movie fan.

302
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 5: You come at the King, You're best not missed.

303
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: That's a wire reference.

304
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 5: And look, the Bills have dominated this AFC seventy percent

305
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 5: win rate in the Josh Allen era.

306
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: Only the Chiefs have more wins. Why well, Terrell Bernard, the.

307
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 5: Bills linebacker, told me it's an earned mentality. No matter

308
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 5: what people say, we don't have, we believe in us.

309
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 5: We all know we're going to make the play. And

310
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 5: check this out for a stat The Bills have not

311
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 5: lost a turnover battle in twenty five consecutive games. That's

312
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 5: an NFL record. They find a way to make a play. Look,

313
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 5: we all know about josh Allen Bernard told me he

314
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 5: is Buffalo, he is the standard. But shout out to

315
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 5: Bernard in this defense, they have found a way to

316
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 5: make the play. And the interception off of to a

317
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 5: tungue by loa Bernard told me came through stem film, study, identity,

318
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 5: and ultimately just making a play. Now, let's transition to

319
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 5: Jacksonville where they are two and one, in large part

320
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 5: because of their defense as well. Their defensive coordinator, Anthony Cappanelli,

321
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 5: loves to bring the pressure and take away the football.

322
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: They lead the.

323
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 5: NFL in takeaways with nine. They've already surpassed their total

324
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 5: for twenty twenty four. Think about that and turnovers and interceptions,

325
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 5: they've already hit that total. And I talked to Campanelli

326
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 5: this week and he talked about his guys. He said, yeah,

327
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 5: they work hard, they play well together, but he said

328
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 5: the big thing is they are honest with each other.

329
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 11: They are accountable.

330
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 5: And as we talk about this Jags team going forward,

331
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 5: You're going to learn about these players who hold each

332
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 5: other accountable and have turned around this defense, and this

333
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 5: team is going to have a lot to say in

334
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 5: the AFC South. And speaking of the AFC South, we

335
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 5: can't talk about that division without talking about the Indianapolis Cults,

336
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 5: the surprise team of the division. Daniel Jones gets a

337
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: lot of love. But let's stick on the defensive end

338
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 5: of football and talk about lou Anarroumo, their defensive coordinator, new.

339
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: Guy coming over from Cincinnati.

340
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: He told me this week they went through install four

341
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 5: different times from spring to preseason to make sure their

342
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 5: players had the complexity of this scheme and maybe the

343
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: most important player in that cam buying them their safety.

344
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 8: He said.

345
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 5: Every single Friday he comes and meets with lou for

346
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 5: an hour.

347
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: They go over what.

348
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 5: They see together via tape and that has helped them

349
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: translated on the field, Buying them has had a couple

350
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 5: of interceptions in a destroyed game against Miami, and this

351
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: past week Kenny Moore had a pick six off cam Ward.

352
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: Lou told me that play essentially came.

353
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 5: From a guy trying to cover the flat and ultimately

354
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 5: Kenny saw and used his instincts and was able to

355
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: take over. And so the Colts, the Jags, the Bills,

356
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 5: all using their defense to make an impact in the

357
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 5: Wolf of ball Street this week.

358
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: And buying them a guest on The Insiders tomorrow night,

359
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: Cam Wolf just like Jordan Belford. Hey, he's not leaving.

360
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: It actually is for now, but we'll do this again, Cam,

361
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Mike Carrafolo, Hey, he's not leaving.

362
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 12: The show goes on.

363
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 4: This show goes on. Week four Power Rankings. The super

364
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: Bowl champions who haven't lost the game are number one.

365
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 12: There you go.

366
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 4: That's how we do things around here, CORDNFL dot com.

367
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 4: The Buffalo Bills, who haven't gotten to the super Bowl

368
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 4: despite being good enough to get there the last couple years.

369
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: They're at number two. Got to earn your way up

370
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: the number one. See that's how it works.

371
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 4: Now it's time for buy in sell with Jeffrey Jadea

372
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 4: and Mark Ross. We are starting with the Colts. Interesting

373
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: one as you look at it and say, not the

374
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 4: toughest schedule that you can play right now in the NFL,

375
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 4: but haven't lost. And Daniel Jones looks great buying or

376
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: selling Jeffrey, I am buying all the way.

377
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 8: Here because I picked Daniel Jones to be my comeback

378
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 8: player of the Year when the season started, and he's

379
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 8: making me look really smart. Had turned the ball over,

380
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 8: He's got three touchdown passes, three rushing touchdowns. As Cam

381
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 8: Wolfson said, that defense is playing lights out. Jonathan Taylor

382
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 8: is running the ball like he's always done it. I

383
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 8: really believe that the way the Houston Texans have fallen

384
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 8: apart started zero and three has opened up a huge

385
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 8: opportunity for the Colts take this division. So Mark, I

386
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 8: am bullish on the Indianapolis Colts.

387
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm only going to buy this is like one

388
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 7: of the fifty percent said discount wreck there, Jeffrey, And

389
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 7: just for the reason you said, because of that one

390
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones and I've just seen too much of whenever

391
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 7: he starts making you feel good about yourself and then

392
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 7: he goes crashing down there. No, he's in a new

393
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 7: environment there. Jonathan Taylor running like the best running.

394
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: Back in the league.

395
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 7: But the Colts as a whole don't have any turnover

396
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 7: so far this season in three games, which is not

397
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 7: going to continue. So I'm buying it half price, but

398
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 7: ultimately might sell them here in a couple of weeks.

399
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 4: Clayton Holloway one of our guys behind the scene here,

400
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 4: one of the wizards behind the curtain. Pay no attention

401
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 4: to him, but actually you pay attention because I'm going

402
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 4: to bring himup here. He's a forty nine Ers fan,

403
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 4: he tweeted the other day the forty nine ERDs disrespect

404
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 4: and these power rankings is comical. They're one of sitting.

405
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 4: He goes through, like the whole resume. I'm like, who's

406
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: he talking about? Always talking about our power rankings because

407
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 4: we don't have them in the top ten. So are

408
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 4: we buying or selling the three and oh forty? Are

409
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 4: we having a top ten?

410
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: Really? Well?

411
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 8: Right, Clayton go Jeffery, Well, they're ahead of me because

412
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 8: I'm selling. And I like the way they started. I

413
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 8: thought they would start fast with a week schedule. But

414
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 8: I look at the way the NFCS is play. NFC

415
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 8: West is playing out right now with the Cardinals playing

416
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 8: good football, they're two and one.

417
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 11: Obviously the Rams are a good team.

418
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 8: What the Seahawks are doing over there in Seattle, I

419
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 8: just feel like the Niners with all these injuries, you

420
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 8: see Nick supposed to going down there out for the

421
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 8: season now with an ACL tear. Their own passing game

422
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 8: is sideline right now with Kittle and Brock Purdy and

423
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 8: Juwan Jennings brand I you've gone, Mark, this team is

424
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 8: going to go South Bath with all these injuries.

425
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, I agree with you.

426
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 7: I'm selling them as well for those reasons you mentioned,

427
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 7: And you got to give them credit for what they've

428
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 7: done so far and being three to zero and being

429
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 7: gritty and overcoming adversity.

430
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 2: But with most teams, we'll get our.

431
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 7: Injured players back, but you know what, the forty nine

432
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 7: ers are going to get it back and go get

433
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 7: hurt again. More people will get hurt because that's just

434
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 7: what we've seen from them over the past couple of years.

435
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 7: They just can't sustain injuries at the rate that they do.

436
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 7: So overall, I just think the Rams are the best team,

437
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 7: one of the best teams the NFL. What they showed,

438
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 7: they should have won that game yesterday. And then the Seahawks,

439
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 7: that defense is nasty. Sam dar Road playing well forty

440
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 7: nine third in that division.

441
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 4: Prepare for some posts from Clayton on X because he's

442
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 4: not gonna be happening, although he may do it like

443
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: passive aggressively.

444
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: If the last one is an indication he'll he won't

445
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: tag you guys.

446
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 4: The Tampa Bay Bucketeers another team with some injury concerns now,

447
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: especially with Mike Evans, although not too long of an

448
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 4: absence for him.

449
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Chada, Well, I'm still on there for the same

450
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: reason though. Those health problems over there are a concern.

451
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 8: I know Mike Evans is only going to be gone

452
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 8: for a month, but that's a big month, and you

453
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 8: are talking about this offense missing three offensive linemen. I

454
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 8: just don't know how they stay keep this thing going

455
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 8: when you look at what they have coming down the

456
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 8: road with their schedule. I mean, they're going to see

457
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 8: all these NFC West teams. They're gonna see the Rams

458
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 8: and the Seahawks, They're gonna see the Lions, They're going

459
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 8: to see the Bills.

460
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 12: They got the.

461
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: Eagles coming next week.

462
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 11: I just don't know.

463
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 8: How you can survive that kind of gauntlet when you

464
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 8: have so many guys going down.

465
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: Mark Well, I'm.

466
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 7: Buying them, Jeffrey, because they know how to win. And

467
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 7: you talk about that schedule, but look at their division.

468
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 7: I mean, they got the JV teams the other three,

469
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 7: so they're not going to win anyday. So Tampa's really

470
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 7: just playing to go win some games, win the division,

471
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 7: get healthy towards the end of the season. Unlike the Niners,

472
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 7: these Tampa Bay players are going to come back, and

473
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 7: Baker Mayfield has that magic. Just keep them in the

474
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 7: game with that defense. Todd Bowles has shown he's one

475
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 7: of the best coaches in the league. So I'm buying

476
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 7: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning their division, getting healthy at

477
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 7: the end, and staring somebody in the playoffs.

478
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 4: Oh, Jeffrey Shada NFL dot Com backslast first read not

479
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 4: making many friends, by the way, because I'm hearing in

480
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 4: my ear that the producer of the show, Nick Shepro,

481
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 4: a Buccaneers fan, I got clean saying, oh, I got

482
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 4: we're predicting injuries now, and I got Jempro is getting

483
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 4: threatened to cut your mic. Let's get out of here

484
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: before this gets any worse. And Jeffrey's never on the

485
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 4: show ever. I forget that won't happen. Jeffrey, Todia, you

486
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: are the man. You will be back for us shortly.

487
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 4: Christian Bedford, the Buffalo Bills defender.

488
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: He's going to join us.

489
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: He's gonna be a lot nicer to us than he

490
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: was to these Ravens offensive players. There, that's next on

491
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 4: the Insiders.

492
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 11: Gee looks to the left.

493
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: Now he wants to run to the right. Now he

494
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: grows and it's interception.

495
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 12: Rogers, Jim sat your.

496
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: Recording fifty Canaday's lows? Isaiah Jersey?

497
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 12: Is he dropped the ball?

498
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 11: Say Rogers? Quick away is.

499
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: Too deep?

500
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: Would you like blor Isaiah Rodgers? Would you like to

501
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: watch his entire team this time? There is only one

502
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: way to do it. We got five days to go

503
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: for Vikings Steelers only on NFL Network from Dublin, where

504
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: you're going to see a lot of superstars making a

505
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 3: lot of plays. Welcome in to good coverage presented by

506
00:22:59,160 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 3: Progressive Insurre.

507
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 2: It's our good friend, Brian Baldinger.

508
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 3: I kind of messed that up a little bit, but

509
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 3: the guy we were watching there didn't mess up anything.

510
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: Baldy.

511
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 3: I want to go deep into your tape study. I

512
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 3: don't even want to know your breakdowns of everything you

513
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: saw right there. Here's my main question. I think a

514
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: lot of people watching are asking the same thing. Who

515
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: in the world is Isaiah Rodgers.

516
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 12: Well, he won a Super Bowl with Eagles last year.

517
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 6: He was instrumental in the win against the Los Angeles

518
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 6: Rams when Jalen Carter punched the ball out of Kyen

519
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 6: Williams hands and who was there to follow on it

520
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 6: was Isaiah Rodgers.

521
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 12: He played an instrumental role. He's notuns around the league

522
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 12: a little bit.

523
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 6: But you know, this defense, led by Brian Flores, they

524
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 6: tied Pittsburgh last year Ian last year with the most

525
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 6: takeaways in the league with thirty three each. They were

526
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 6: number one tied this year. The Vikings right now have

527
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 6: seven takeaways. The Steelers have eight. They live and dial

528
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 6: this stuff and so they do it a different way.

529
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 6: But Isaiah Rodgers is part of the secondary right now.

530
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 6: You see in like what they're doing. They're going to

531
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 6: sack the quarterback. They're gonna make like difficult in for

532
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 6: the Steelers as far as who's coming, who's not coming,

533
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 6: really making a lot of looks at the line of

534
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 6: scrimmage look the same, but then they really change. And

535
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 6: then the Steelers just you know last week TJ.

536
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 12: TJ.

537
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 6: Watt, Cam Heyward, they all woke up and then Nick Kurbig.

538
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 6: You know my buddy Nick Krbig from the barn, like

539
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 6: that guy like he's got seven seven forest fumbles and

540
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 6: thirty two start seeing the guy's got a knack for

541
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 6: getting the ball out, whether it's running backs or quarterbacks.

542
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 6: So this could be a takeaway game. Whoever wins that

543
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 6: battle might win the Battle of Dublin the way that

544
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 6: they say it over.

545
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 12: There in Ireland. You know, I just want to make

546
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 12: that clear right there.

547
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: I've never been probably never going to go, at least

548
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 3: not in a lifetime maybe, but you're.

549
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 12: And you're a golfer. You gotta go.

550
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: I would love to. I would love to. I'll tell

551
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: you what else is crazy, Baldy.

552
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: We spent the whole off season talking about so many

553
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: guys Isaiah Rodgers signed with the Vikings. Nobody cares. Then

554
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: you get on the field and you get to see

555
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: it all the way out. He has become any more

556
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: fascinating and exciting. Defensive players in the NFL love it.

557
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 10: Hey, I'm gonna tell you what, man, that's that's some

558
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 10: mental that's a real mental toughness right there, and grit

559
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 10: man right.

560
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: Toe to toe the whole way.

561
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 4: Wasn't going away you guys stood up. He stood up

562
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 4: and made a big time playing TV. Great for you,

563
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 4: and then we got Jimbo to listen to me.

564
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: Tied to franchise record consecutive rushing touchdowns. It takes everybody

565
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: to get to three and oh. And as you can see,

566
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: the Bills have been doing it in a lot of

567
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: different ways. No turnover so far, barely any penalties. They're

568
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: throwing it, they're running it. They're also playing a little

569
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: bit of defense along the way as well. Certainly helps

570
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: when he got one of the best young cornerbacks in

571
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: the game, and is Christian Benford, who is with us

572
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: right now on the Insiders with me, Tom Pellicero as

573
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: well as Cameron Wolfe. Christian three and zero. You got

574
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: this little extra mini buy here to rest up a bit.

575
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: How are we feeling there in Buffalo?

576
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,239
Speaker 2: Uh?

577
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 13: Feeling great, man, thankful to have this time off. I

578
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 13: think you had this time to our families. We're feeling good.

579
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 13: Ready to get to the next game.

580
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 5: Hey, Christian, you grew up in West Baltimore. It's a

581
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 5: gritty place. People from not there might not understand. Buffalo

582
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 5: is similar in a different way. How would you describe

583
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 5: the culture of that city, especially when it comes to

584
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 5: the bills.

585
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 11: It's really family oriented.

586
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 13: Like, there's so much love here, There's so much passion,

587
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 13: there's so much family like orientation here. Everybody picks each

588
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 13: other up, even think the neighbors like, they show love,

589
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 13: they help out in the best form way possible. They

590
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 13: give advice, they give words of encouragement. So even on

591
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 13: the field with the team, you come home to more

592
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 13: like words incurage, more uplifting spirits here in Buffalo. So

593
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 13: it's just so much love, so much passion, so much

594
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 13: family like orientation here.

595
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: I would think the number one piece of help you

596
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: could use sometimes from the neighbors is you get one

597
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: of those snowstorms, maybe somebody shows.

598
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 2: Up with a shovel.

599
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: Do you ever get a little bit of assistance on

600
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: those bad snow days shared Buffalo?

601
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 13: Nah, Yeah, one hundred percent. I definitely do shout out

602
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 13: to my neighbors. Though they have a couple few times

603
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 13: to help me show up my car. I mean I

604
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 13: think the lord they had like the grace and compassion

605
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 13: to even show up my car for me.

606
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 11: Sometimes just wake up and I'd be like, oh my car,

607
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 11: Like okay, my car.

608
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 13: Out like I'm good, and then I'll be looking outside

609
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 13: with all the snow is so bad, and I look outside,

610
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 13: my Carl showed out, and I'd be like, Okay, I

611
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 13: appreciate you a lot. Like that means a lot, you know.

612
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 13: So yeah, they one hundred percent they look out for sure.

613
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely we got a few more months hopefully until that

614
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 5: snow comes down there. But you guys beyond the culture

615
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 5: of the city have a cool team with a lot

616
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 5: of personality.

617
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: So take us into the locker room.

618
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 5: Who has the wildest personality on the team?

619
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 11: And why the wildest personality?

620
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, who makes you laugh? Who's doing something every.

621
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 11: Day that again? See White?

00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 12: Right, okay?

Speaker 11: To like he just always open.

624
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 13: And just like just so much so giddy, so much

626
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 13: just he's almost inspirational because no matter what life, she said,

627
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 13: no matter what he's going through, no matter how practice was,

628
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 13: no matter how the.

629
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 11: Game was, he's still just being the light of people's world.

630
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 13: Like he's cracking so many jokes, making so many live

631
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 13: you can hear him from like down the hallway, White

632
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 13: and like you just hear him all the time, and

633
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 13: he's just all a god like uplifting the spirit of

634
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 13: the whole facility.

635
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 11: So I definitely would say st.

636
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: White, tell me about this defense, Christian, because the first

637
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: taste that everybody gets is that wild shootout in week

638
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: one or it didn't feel like either team could get

639
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: a stop through the course of that game. It seems

640
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: like we've seen some progress here over the last couple

641
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: of weeks. What are the things you guys are trying

642
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: to tighten up and how good.

643
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: Can you be over the long haul of this season.

644
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 13: We could be as good as we take ourselves to

645
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 13: some things we tightened up as our own technique and fundamentals.

646
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 13: Make sure we're sharp, making sure we get back to

647
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 13: square one, making sure we got a fee under us,

648
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 13: because sometimes it takes a little men from break out

649
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 13: our feet under us. And to make sure we start

650
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 13: start fast. That's where's the most important, when we start fast.

651
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 13: So that's some key things just now, tackling catching and running,

652
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 13: just key things in football. Just make sure our key

653
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 13: fundamentals is up to bar and keeping our head, our

654
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 13: mental our coach I always talks about the mental game

655
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 13: like mentally strong, because it starts there. That's where it starts.

656
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 13: You can't really do too much if your mental is

657
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 13: not there. So that's a lot of things that we

658
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 13: harp on.

659
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 12: Christian.

660
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: I love that you mentioned the mental because I've covered

661
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 5: you guys for a few years. I was there on Thursday,

662
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 5: and coaches always rave about how underrated you are, how

663
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 5: patient you are, how disciplined you are. You got the

664
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 5: big bag already. We're talking at the end of the year,

665
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 5: you guys got the Lombardy. What is the individual goal

666
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 5: of respect that you want the most as a player

667
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 5: at the end of the year.

668
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 13: As a player, just meaning like an impactful corner. That's

669
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 13: really the biggest thing on whatever the accolades is. The

670
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 13: accolades are. But I want to be an impactful corner,

671
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 13: a difference maker, game changer for player wise.

672
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 11: But we're talking personally.

673
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 13: I just want to be a better man than God,

674
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 13: you know, better disciple continues to my path, continues my

675
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 13: growth too. When I look back, I knew that I

676
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 13: grew as a man of God as this and spreading

677
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 13: the word of God, as my Lord said to Jesus Christ.

678
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 13: So that's my that's my personal goal, and that's the

679
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 13: player go again, being an impactful player. So I actually

680
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 13: they kind of go hand in hand, Like I kind

681
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 13: of will be an impactful person on and off the field,

682
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 13: making game changing plays on the field and making life

683
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 13: changing play, life changing actions off the field. So at

684
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 13: the end the day, when I get to Lord will

685
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 13: Lamb Lombardi Trophy, that's why I want to look back at.

686
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 9: Well.

687
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: One of the ways you're making that impact off the

688
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: field is you've got a children's book Stylish Safari, The

689
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: Adventures of Being You tell me the origins, why you

690
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: wanted to write this and why people with kids might

691
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: want to pick this one up.

692
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 13: The origins is really my son, Like even recently doing

693
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 13: this off like he kind of still gave me like

694
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 13: the reminder of like why I wrote the book just

695
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 13: about just being you, just being comfortable with who you

696
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 13: are because God made you and that specific image for

697
00:31:59,360 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 13: a reason.

698
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 11: He didn't make you like others to for you to

699
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 11: follow them.

700
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 13: He made you specifically from down to the Adams different,

701
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 13: so you could be different, not to be like others.

702
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 13: And I want to write that book to teach kids that,

703
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 13: like it's okay to wear those type of shoes, the

704
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 13: type of pants that you might like, but everybody else

705
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 13: might not like, because by the end the day you're

706
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 13: wearing them. It's about what you like, now what they like.

707
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: That was absolutely fantastic, Christian, keep it rolling man. This

708
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: week he got the Saints keep that undefeated season going.

709
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 14: Man.

710
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: We look forward to having you back some other time.

711
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 11: I appreciate you, guys. Thank you.

712
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: Now it's time for Michael f Florio to join us

713
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 4: I and rapaport with me. Mike Arrofolo, we've got waiver wire.

714
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 4: Claims got to be in the night, at least they

715
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 4: do in my league because everything clears in the morning. So,

716
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: Michael f Florio, who are we claiming?

717
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: Starting with the quarterback position.

718
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 10: Look, a certain New York team is going to have control.

719
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 11: Of me and Ian's emotions all week.

720
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: It is not the New York Giants.

721
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 10: But you want to go pick up their new quarter

722
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 10: Jackson Dark who last season led all of college football

723
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 10: in yards and touchdowns on deep passes. We also saw

724
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 10: in the preseason and in limited usage already this season.

725
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: That he could add points with his legs.

726
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 10: Because the Giants trail often, they have thrown the ball

727
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 10: at the six highest rate. He's got good weapons around him.

728
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 10: Not someone you want to pick up and start right away.

729
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 10: But he brings the most upside of any quarterback you

730
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 10: will likely find on waivers this week.

731
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 3: We are this so a segment pains me, mostly because

732
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: my fantasy team is zero and three. I need a

733
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 3: players only meeting or something like that. Someone's got to

734
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: stand in front of the team and make an example

735
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 3: of something. Anyway, I need some infusion of that. That's

736
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: your whiteboard at the running back posin Who am I

737
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 3: targeting on waivers?

738
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 10: If Trey Benson is out there, he is the biggest pickup,

739
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 10: not just of this week, of this season so far,

740
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 10: and I would go as far as to say spend

741
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 10: sixty seventy percent of your fat to get him, especially

742
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 10: if you lost James Connor or you need a running back.

743
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 10: Benson was already playing a good chunk of the passing downs.

744
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 10: Now he is going to be the full time back

745
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 10: for the Cardinals. He is the only running back in

746
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 10: the NFL with the one hundred and seventy or more

747
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 10: yards on fewer than thirty touches. So he's been highly

748
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 10: effective and I think he's someone you could pick up

749
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 10: and start this week because the Seahawks have really struggled

750
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 10: against pass catching running backs. So get Benson and get

751
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 10: him in your lineup.

752
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 4: All right wide receiver, I put one in.

753
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: I'm going for Trey Tucker. I'm buying on Trey Tucker.

754
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 4: There's only one other person that can get him ahead

755
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 4: of me in the league, and that person's probably not watching.

756
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say it on the air.

757
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts with the waiver claims at the

758
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 4: receiver position, Michae Leff.

759
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 10: Trey Tucker is one way, you could go another way.

760
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 10: I like Darnell Mooney. He had eleven targets last week.

761
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 10: Not only that, he let the falcons and targets in

762
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 10: the last two weeks combined, and specifically red and end

763
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 10: zone targets he leads them since he has returned, and

764
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 10: we saw last year he could be very useful in

765
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 10: the right matchups by weeks, et CETERA. More downfield throw

766
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 10: with Michael Pennix Junior though, could even unlock his fantasy

767
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 10: ceiling even further than what we saw last season.

768
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 3: Or you know, you could have done you could have

769
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: done what I did, which was draft Jordanadison, stash him

770
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: for three ex then for week four.

771
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 12: Being like Toda.

772
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 11: Anyway, I'm such a genius even though my team's.

773
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: Think tell me about the tight end position, who we

774
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 3: are targeting on the waiver?

775
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 10: Why Mike Scott Receiatrice coming back to though, so that's

776
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 10: a big one.

777
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 12: There, But.

778
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 10: Why then grab Hunter Henry? Look, a lot of people

779
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 10: threw him back after his down Week two and now

780
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 10: they hate themselves in three weeks already we have seen

781
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 10: the floor, the median, and the ceiling, but eleven targets

782
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 10: last week. He was heavily relied upon by Drake May

783
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 10: last season, especially in the red zone, and I think

784
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 10: he might just be Drake May's go to guy right

785
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 10: now and moving forward. And I think he is someone

786
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 10: that you could start with confidence this week because the

787
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 10: Panthers have allowed the most yards tight ends.

788
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: And look at this. If you miss out on those four,

789
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: there are plenty.

790
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 10: Of other fallback options, including Trey Tucker that you can

791
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 10: go out and grab to adds to that and three

792
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 10: eighteen Ian there's options out there to help you.

793
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: Week four kicks off on Thursday night with a fun

794
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: one in the NFC West. It is the Seahawks and

795
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: the Cardinals both two and one and a chance to

796
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: maybe catch up with the battered San Francisco forty nine ers.

797
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: That game, of course, will be on Prime video time

798
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: now to welcome in Sam Schwarztein, Prime Videos Analytics expert,

799
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: to go deep into this matchup. Sam, let's start out

800
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: with that Seahawks wide receiver corps. Obviously a lot of

801
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: changes DK Metcalf out. We've seen Jackson Smith and Jigma

802
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: take on a bigger role. Take me inside the impact

803
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: of JSN so far.

804
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's absolutely become the lead.

805
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 14: He lined up in the slot twenty percent of the

806
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 14: time now and that's not always the secondary or third receiver,

807
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 14: but typically it is. This year, he's out white seventy

808
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 14: eight percent of the time. And what's that led to

809
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 14: is a forty percent targets heare, meaning of all the

810
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 14: targets out there. Whenever he's on our off the field,

811
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 14: he's getting the ball forty percent of the time, Sam

812
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 14: Donald's releasing it. He is a go to that's also

813
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 14: leading the NFL with four point eight yards per route run.

814
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 14: There's different ways you can win. Like you see, he's

815
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 14: able to set up guys in blocks. He's such a smart,

816
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 14: savvy route runner. Even though his size, he's still one

817
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 14: of the top receivers in the NFL.

818
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: We expected Marvin Harrison Junior, certainly Cardinals fans did, to

819
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: also be one of those top receivers in the NFL. Instead,

820
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: they're being treated to various reels of him dropping a

821
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: pass with nobody within ten yards. What's going on with

822
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior. What do the numbers tell us about

823
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: his impact or lack thereof so far?

824
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 14: Yeah, the Cardinals still believe in him as that guy

825
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 14: that they want to isolate. He's isolated one hundred and

826
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,479
Speaker 14: three times, that's the fifth most in the NFL since

827
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 14: twenty twenty four, but he's only targeted twenty three percent

828
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 14: of the time. And this season he's been isolated eight

829
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 14: percent of the time and only targeted twelve percent of

830
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 14: the time. What they want to do is isolate him

831
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 14: the one side of the field, make the defense dictate

832
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 14: their coverage. But he's not winning those matchups. He's able

833
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 14: to win in the red zone with his big body.

834
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 14: Gained about fifteen pounds this offseason, but you need to

835
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 14: see him win more in the field than just the

836
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 14: red zone.

837
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: Let's go back to Seattle here.

838
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, of course, the new shiny object at the

839
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: quarterback position. They paid up for him, not the top

840
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: of the market, but a very solid contract.

841
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 2: Is he earning that money so far?

842
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, as we call it the middle class quarterback. They're

843
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 14: definitely not making middle class wages. But that is that

844
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 14: tier that he's being paid and they're not asking Sam

845
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 14: Donald to do too much and it's led to success.

846
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 14: They only have called pass plays on forty eight percent

847
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 14: of their place so but when they're calling upon Sam Donald,

848
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 14: he's a fifty four percent success rating, which is the

849
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 14: second in the NFL. To Daniel Jones. Those New York

850
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 14: football fans, they sure miss those quarterbacks. How come they

851
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 14: can win somewhere else? But it's being able to say, Sam,

852
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 14: do your job. That's when you're called upon.

853
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 11: Execute.

854
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see Jackson Dart somewhere in twenty twenty

855
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: nine dominate. That's a joke. Gonna be fine. He's gonna

856
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: be fine, Giants fans. You can watch Sam Thursday night

857
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,480

Speaker 1: star running back James Cook, got a James Cookie. That's right,

871
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: it's a real product. James himself was kind enough to

872
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: I'll send me over a little care package right here,

873
