1
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: It's been five hundred and thirty eight days since Aaron

2
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: Rodgers became a Jet, and finally he has his favorite receiver.

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: But can Devanta Adams be the missing piece in New York?

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: They certainly poned up like he will be. We'll tell

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: you how and why this deal got done now. We'll

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: also tell you why Russell Wilson likely gets his first

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Steelers start against Rogers, Adams and the Jets on Sunday night.

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Mike Tomlin on that matter as well.

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Will we see Jonathan Taylor back out there after missing

10
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks because of his high ankle spray.

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: What better source on that than Jonathan Taylor himself, the

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: workhorse in Indianapolis joins us live Welcome Inside with the

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Insiders presented by Progressive Insurance, alongside Judy Matisa and Ian Rappaport,

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: who are alive at the NFL meeting in Atlanta today.

15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: There was a little bit of news there. Maybe the

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback of all time is back, just not playing

17
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: quarterback anymore. We will get to that, but I would

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: also tell you I have not left this seat in

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: Let's call it twelve hours from good morning football straight

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: through this show, because we have had a day and

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: it all started out this morning when, yes, after weeks

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: of negotiation, over a year of speculation, DeVante Adams finally

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: and officially became a New York Jet. The Jets sending

24
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders a conditional third round pick in the twenty

25
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: twenty five draft. It can potentially become a second round

26
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: pick based on personal and team performance. They also are

27
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: taking on the entire salary for Devonte Adams, a small

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: price to pay. If you're Woodie Johnson, what do you

29
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: think I.

30
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: Think he adds to the running game he has? He

31
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: really makes everything. He opened up everything, you know, particularly

32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: having that relationship with the quarterback.

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 3: That's very important.

34
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: You could see you last night, you know you you

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: can watch the you know quarterback. It takes a while

36
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: for quarterback to get into that, and you can see

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: Garrett is finally finally getting that and he played a

38
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: good game, much better than the week before and next

39
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 2: week will be better.

40
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: Got home and Ted called me and texted me, and

41
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: so I finally called him back. And it's so about

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: twelve thirty l last night I heard the news.

43
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: Okay, so as soon as you hear the new what's that?

44
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: What's that? What's that?

45
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 6: What's that?

46
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Well?

47
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 6: Good to see you day, Good to see your man.

48
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 3: Congrats, what's up fellas Hey?

49
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 6: Thank you man. I appreciate it, no problem.

50
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: How was the flight over there?

51
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 7: Did you fly over last night and Aaron wasn't returning

52
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 7: any of your text messages?

53
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 6: What was that all about? You think about saying give

54
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 6: me the hell out of here anytime?

55
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 8: That?

56
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was, he was having second thoughts. Yeah, he's

57
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 6: been knowing to have both Bob when he comes and

58
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 6: pulling trigger with me. But hopefully we can put that

59
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 6: behind us now. Yeah, we're back, man, We're back.

60
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: Everything about the Jets in the Aaron Rodgers era has

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: felt like a reality show. Part of it was literally

62
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: a reality show ian when Hard Knox was there last year.

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: This was like the character that's kind of coming and

64
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: going the entire time, and you're never quite sure if

65
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: they're going to become a central part of the story.

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: For sure. You watch Dvante Adams walk on the screen

67
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: there on the Pat McAfee show. He's a thirty one

68
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: year old receiver who's coming off a hamstring injury. These

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: are not normally the types of trades we see for

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: significant compensation. Yet here we are, and you just have

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: to think, based on well, what he's saying, what Aaron's saying,

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: what Davante's saying, the expectations cannot pop asily be a

73
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: higher for this deal now that it's finally done.

74
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 9: The expectations have always been high for the Jets, ever

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 9: since they acquired Aaron Rodgers to great fanfare a couple

76
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 9: of years ago. And you acquire an all pro like

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 9: DeVonta Adams, who you're right, we have been talking about

78
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 9: for more than a year, from speculation to Aaron Rodgers

79
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 9: himself saying in a golf tournament casually, yeah, I'd like

80
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 9: to play with him again. This has been all we

81
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 9: have discussed, and now it is actually happening, And yeah,

82
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 9: I would say the expectations have ramped up a bit.

83
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: Forget about the fact that they are two and four.

84
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 9: It is all in as Woody Johnson, the older told owner,

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 9: told us a couple hours ago here in Atlanta, Here, Judy,

86
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 9: is how this deal broke down. Obviously, we've known Devonte

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 9: Adams told the Raiders he preferred to be traded. It

88
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 9: seemed like last week would be the time. And then

89
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 9: the Jets fired Robert Sala. Everyone kind of took a

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 9: deep breath. Things really kicked into gear. My understanding about Friday,

91
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 9: that's when the Raiders and Jets kind.

92
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 5: Of became clearic.

93
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: All right, this compensation a third, that could become a two.

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: This may actually work for both sides.

95
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 9: I know the Jets had some conversations with Devonte Adams

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 9: agents over the course of the weekend. Just what's going

97
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 9: to happen with the contract they ended up were structuring,

98
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 9: got finalized last night. He flew on a red eye

99
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 9: last night, arrived today, was in the building, took his physical,

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 9: passed his physical, and now, unbelievably, DeVante Adams is on

101
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 9: the Jets right.

102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 10: And you remember, only a few days ago we were

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 10: wondering if they lost the game last night, would that

104
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 10: sort of be the end of the Devonte Adams pursuit

105
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 10: because the season sort of over?

106
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 5: And the answer is no. Woody Johnson does not believe

107
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: that the.

108
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: Season is over.

109
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 10: As a matter of fact, he's kind of optimistic about

110
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 10: the season. I asked him, do you still think the

111
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 10: season is salvageable? And he said, salvageable. I think we're

112
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 10: going to kick, and he said we could fill in

113
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 10: the word. So he actually feels really good. He actually

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 10: felt pretty good about the game last night, despite the loss.

115
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 10: He wasn't happy about the penalties or the kicker shore

116
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 10: or the kicker, which she said repeatedly, but he did

117
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 10: say he liked the way the offense was moving the ball.

118
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 10: Obviously they need to be more productive, and he said

119
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 10: those things are going to get better in the next

120
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 10: few weeks.

121
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: He thinks they're just going to get better and better

122
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: and better.

123
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 10: He's obviously really excited about the Devonte Adams acquisition, but

124
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 10: there is not a feeling that the season is on

125
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 10: the brink, at least if you're listening to Woody Johnson.

126
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: He's full seam ahead with the season and the New

127
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 5: York Jets.

128
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: That was not the only wide receiver trade we got today.

129
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Just a few hours after the DeVante Adams trade was

130
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: first reported by that Guy Rap report, the Buffalo Bills

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: acquired Amari Cooper. It's a little bit of a complicated

132
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: deal in terms of the compensation, but basically the Bill's

133
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: setting a third round pick to Cleveland. Then they also

134
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: swapped late round picks one in twenty five to one

135
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. This is a fascinating deal for

136
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: a number of different reasons. As you get your first

137
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: look right there, Adam Maury Cooper in a Bill's uniform,

138
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: a guy who's now been traded, Let's remember three times,

139
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: from the then Oakley Raiders to the Cowboys, the Cowboys

140
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: to the Browns, now the Browns to the Bills. The

141
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: Bills were also ian in on DeVante Adams, as were

142
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: teams like the Steelers and the Saints. One of the

143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: holdups with Buffalo, besides the fact that they don't employ

144
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: one of his best friends results the quarterback of the team,

145
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: was the Bills couldn't afford to take on all that money.

146
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: So where the Jets took on eleven point six million

147
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: dollars for Devonte Adams, the Browns had paid almost all

148
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: the money they owed to Maury Cooper in a signing

149
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: bonus for cap purposes. The Bills now get him four

150
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: eight hundred and six thousand dollars eight hundred six, six

151
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven dollars. Here a potential bargain if

152
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: he's able to integrate into what should be a pretty

153
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: high powered Bills offense.

154
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 3: This trade got done today.

155
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: You're right.

156
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 9: As soon as it became clear that the Bills were

157
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 9: not getting Devonte Adams, the pivot happened pretty quickly. In fact,

158
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 9: my understanding is the conversations really started sounding like late

159
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 9: last night, kicked into gear this morning, and then it

160
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 9: was done. It's a complicated deal as far as compensation goes.

161
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 9: A third round pick is the biggest piece of this

162
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 9: and what is essentially a pick swap, so that goes

163
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 9: from the Bills to the Browns. But the reality is, Tom,

164
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 9: this didn't start today. This started when the Cleveland Browns

165
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 9: were trying to trade for Brandon Ayuk and pay him

166
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 9: thirty million dollars per year. Amari Cooper got wind of this,

167
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 9: as did we all took it some sort of way. Obviously,

168
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 9: went on the field and played for the Browns and

169
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 9: everything was fine when he was in the building. But

170
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 9: it's not something you really forget as a player. And look,

171
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 9: his contract is what it is. It's pretty clear he

172
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 9: was probably not going to sign back next year. They

173
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 9: restructured his contract one to make it easier for them.

174
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 9: Capitalized too, if they had to trade him. He was

175
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 9: extremely tradable. This was a pretty good commodity. The Bill

176
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 9: of the Browns clearly took a look at someone and said,

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 9: he's not going to be part of our team next year.

178
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 9: Let's get what we can now, and I think if

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 9: you're the Bills, you get a really solid veteran receiver

180
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 9: for Josh Allen.

181
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: One more trade that also came down, this one in

182
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: the past hour the Minnesota Vikings, and no, this is

183
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: not a repeat from last year. They trained for cam

184
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: Akers again. Last year they acquired him from the Rams.

185
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: This time around, they acquire him from the Houston Texans.

186
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: It is a late round pickswap in twenty twenty six

187
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: for anybody who has Aaron Jones in fantasy football. It

188
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: was emphasized to me this is not about any type

189
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: of long term health concerns with Aaron Jones. In fact,

190
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: there's a possibility he plays this week against the Lions.

191
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: This is just another running back who knows that system well,

192
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: going back to his days with the La Rams when

193
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell was there. We also had significant news today

194
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: out of Pittsburgh where coach Mike Tomlin conferred the Russell

195
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: Wilson will be in Tomlin's words, in consideration this week

196
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: to start. Now, here's what I am told. They're going

197
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: to give Russell Wilson first team reps this week, and

198
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: at this point he is considered to be in line

199
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback this week and make his

200
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: debut against the Jets, even though they are four and

201
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: two with justin fields. Here's how Mike Tomlin summed up

202
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: the situation today.

203
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 11: Over the course of the week, I got comfortable with

204
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 11: his the deability to display his health. Now it's about,

205
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 11: you know, knocking the rust off. He did some of

206
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 11: that last week. He is in consideration this week. We'll

207
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 11: see where that leads us. Man. Both guys at the

208
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 11: quarterback position are scheduled to work tomorrow and we'll just

209
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 11: walk it day by day, all geared toward putting ourselves

210
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 11: in in best position to win the football game. Let's

211
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 11: talk about the Jets a little bit. Obviously, things are

212
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 11: changing by the minute. I was getting ready for Davante

213
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 11: last week. I'm getting ready for Davante this week.

214
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: Definitely a unique set of circumstances right there for Mike

215
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: Tomlin and these Steelers as they get ready for this game.

216
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: Judy Tomlin also said the Russell Wilson proved last week

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: he is healthy, and that was the biggest piece in

218
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: all of this, even though realistically the calf was probably

219
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: fully healed a few weeks ago. The only announcement Mike

220
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Tomlin has ever made about quarterback is Russell Wilson is

221
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 1: our starter. That was back in August before he aggravated

222
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: the calf. Now, at this point, even though Justin Fields

223
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 1: has taken care of the football, it certainly sounds like

224
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: it's headed in the direction of us finally seeing Russell

225
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Wilson on the field in the Steelers' uniform.

226
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 10: Well, let's be honest, We've been talking about this since

227
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 10: training camp, and those of us who cycled through Latroe,

228
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 10: Pennsylvania all got the feeling that Mike Tomlin wanted to

229
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 10: see Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback at some point,

230
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 10: like he was ready to start the season with Russell

231
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 10: Wilson until the injury happened, and it was just a

232
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 10: question of when would that moment be, When would there

233
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 10: be an opening? Now you say, well, they're foreign too,

234
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 10: how could this possibly be the moment that she would

235
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 10: change quarterbacks? But don't forget they are not scoring that

236
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 10: many points. They are definitely not passing for that many yards.

237
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 10: And last week they won the game and he did score.

238
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 10: He being justin fields, did score with his legs, and

239
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 10: he's not making mistakes, but he's also not generating big plays.

240
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 5: So I think the question is is this the opening?

241
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: Is this the right moment? He was more erratic, he

242
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 5: was less accurate last week. Certainly this is a fine

243
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 5: line that Mike Tomlin is walking.

244
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 10: And I am sure that there are people even in

245
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 10: the building who are like, are you sure about this?

246
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 5: Because you're foreign too. It's a very unusual move to make.

247
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 10: But again, I have always gotten the sense that Mike

248
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 10: Tomlin wants to see Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback

249
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 10: at some point, and this is the moment it appears

250
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 10: that it's going to happen.

251
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 9: One great thing about having an excellent defense is you

252
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 9: do have some margin foreerr right, Like you have the

253
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 9: opportunity to say we're going to.

254
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 3: Go with a different quarterback and we think it's going

255
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 3: to be better.

256
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 9: If it isn't, that's okay, And I wouldn't be surprised

257
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 9: at all if both quarterbacks end up playing in this game.

258
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: And look, at some point, Mike, we don't have to

259
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: name a starter.

260
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 9: But you figure at some point Mike Tomlin will say

261
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 9: here's our starting quarterback, but he doesn't necessarily need to.

262
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure how much it would really matter.

263
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 9: I mean, if you have neither of these guys has

264
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 9: really elevated himself from the other. If it's weak, whatever

265
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 9: it is, seven, it's a week seven, it's week seven,

266
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 9: and we still don't have a confirmed starting quarterback, then

267
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 9: it's okay to say maybe they both play. Now you're right,

268
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 9: I would consider playing Russell Wilson to be at least

269
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 9: a curiosity from Mike Tomlin. And yes, Justin Fields has

270
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 9: been good, but as he mentioned, is it championship level yet?

271
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Maybe not?

272
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 9: And you know, look, we'll see if Russell Wilson gets

273
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 9: it there, but we will see, as Mike Tomlin.

274
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: Said, tons of news around the NFL, including where you

275
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: guys are in Buckhead, Atlanta right now. Where Finally, Tom

276
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: Brady is officially a member of NFL ownership. He was

277
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: approved today by NFL owners unanimous vote as a limited

278
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: partner of the Raiders. Now owns five percent of the

279
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: team ten percent if you include the portion owned by

280
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: his partner that also means, based upon recently revised the

281
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: NFL rules, his playing career is officially over. Brady, within

282
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: the past couple of minutes also released a statement thanking,

283
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: among other people, Mark Davis, Commissioner Goodell, his partners. Jim

284
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Gray got to mention in here in a statement that

285
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: was signed by someone who apparently their initials are BP,

286
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: is that really his signature? I feel like, after all

287
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: the stuff he signed, we could do slightly better than that. Anyway,

288
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: Mark Davis said he might be able to help him

289
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: pick the next quarterback. Can't wait to see him on

290
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: the Pro day circuit or at the combine. I'm sure

291
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: we'll get that. Maybe you'll find a gut like this.

292
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. Let's talk Bengals and a whole lot more.

293
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Chidia joined us to talk about his Bandwagons next

294
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: on the Insiders. Back of Week one, the Philadelphia Eagles

295
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: kicked off their season in historic fashion, becoming the first

296
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: team to win an NFL game in South America. Today,

297
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: we go behind the scenes to find out what it

298
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: took for the Eagles to plan and execute the nearly

299
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: five thousand mile journey to Sal Paulo, Brazil In this

300
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: episode of Gaining Greatness presented by Sleep.

301
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 12: Number over thirty thousand pounds of equipment, one hundred and

302
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 12: eighty five players, coaches and team personnel, almost ten thousand

303
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 12: miles of travel. What does it take to get an

304
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 12: NFL team to South America for a regular season game?

305
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: A lot of coordination between departments between the club and

306
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: the NFL.

307
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: Well, that and a lot more.

308
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 12: In twenty twenty four, the Philadelphia Eagles opened their season

309
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 12: with a matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Salcowlo, Brazil,

310
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 12: and it is park What does The undertaking was as

311
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 12: enormous as it was detailed, spanning months of planning, meticulous preparation,

312
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 12: and perfect execution.

313
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 9: I know they don't see what happens on the back end,

314
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 9: but they get to see the energy, the intensity of the.

315
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: Passion at which our players play.

316
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 6: That's just fun to watch.

317
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 5: We're bringing the game that we love to hoona country, Brazil.

318
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 13: Hey man, I'm don't want to show y'all.

319
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 12: Maybe this is how the Philadelphia Eagles orchestrated one of

320
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 12: the most ambitious operations in NFL history to take the

321
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 12: field for the first ever game in South America.

322
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Time down for Tuesday Takeaways presented by Chipotle. Tom Pelicaro.

323
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: Back here on the Insiders, joined now by my buddy

324
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Chedia. As I always say in this segment, Jeff,

325
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: all I can think about is delicious, delicious burritos right now,

326
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: But you're thinking about bandwagons. Who are you on? Let's

327
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: start in the NFC right now.

328
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 7: Well, I'll start with the Eagles, the team everybody loves

329
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 7: the psycho analyze. I get Nick Sirianni can be unpredictable,

330
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 7: but I love the fact that aj Brown is back,

331
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 7: Devonte Smith is back. You saw the impact that had

332
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 7: on the way Jamen Hurts played then turned the ball

333
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 7: over for the first time in what seems like forever.

334
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 7: I think this team is People talk about Washington, but

335
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 7: this team has more talent than the Commanders, and they're

336
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 7: a better team than Dallas. Yeah, the defense is still suspect,

337
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 7: but I think they will get that figured out at

338
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 7: some point.

339
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: With Vic Fangio.

340
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 7: Second team in the NFC I like a lot is

341
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 7: the Green Bay.

342
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: Packers, and you go to Jordan Love.

343
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 7: Yet he wasn't playing well when he was trying to

344
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 7: get back from that knee injury, but he found his

345
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 7: stride last week. He saw the way he played against

346
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 7: the Cardinals, put up big numbers. Love the weapons around him,

347
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 7: but I also love the way this defense has been playing.

348
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 7: They wanted to be more opportunistic. They leave the NFL

349
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 7: and takeaways right now, Xavier McKinney looks like an All

350
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 7: Pro safety and finally a team in that same division,

351
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 7: Chicago Bears. I know that Caleb Williams got off to

352
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 7: a short to a tough start, but he's been playing

353
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 7: really well seeing teams like the Panthers and the Jaguars. Yes,

354
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 7: but the Bears have figured out, let's run the football better.

355
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 7: Let's play to that defense. It hasn't allowed more than

356
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 7: twenty points only one time this season. Look, NFC North

357
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 7: is tough. It's a blood bath with Detroit and Minnesota,

358
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 7: but both these teams should be in the playoff hunt

359
00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 7: come January.

360
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Jeffery, give me some more toppings, I mean some more teams,

361
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: and you are on the bandwag u lets this time

362
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: go over to the AFC side.

363
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 7: Well, I'll start with the Cincinnati Bengals. And last season

364
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 7: I made a big prediction late about the Buffalo Bills

365
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 7: making the playoffs. I'll make the same prediction about the

366
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 7: Cincinnati Bengals. They're two and four, but I could see

367
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 7: them being five and five by week ten with a

368
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 7: week schedule. They've got the Browns, They've got the Eagles,

369
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 7: They've got the Raiders coming up, so they can get

370
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 7: some wins going. That offense is great, and the defense

371
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 7: looked a lot better with Sheldon Reagan's back on that

372
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 7: defensive line.

373
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: Beat a Hill is healthy.

374
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 7: I think Louanna Room was going to be able to

375
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 7: scheme some things up.

376
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: And then Chargers.

377
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 7: Not a lot of expectations about the Chargers, but they're

378
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 7: three and two right now. In their defense under Jesse

379
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 7: Mentor has been lights out. Jim Harbaugh's got this team

380
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 7: believing in the identity of running the football. Justin Herbert

381
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 7: is throwing the football more did so against the Denver

382
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 7: bronc because you saw it here, and so I like

383
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 7: Jim Harball's ability to make things happen. And again you

384
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 7: look at their schedule down the stretch. Here they got

385
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 7: the Cardinals, the Saints, the Browns, and the Titans come

386
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 7: up with the next month. They could really get him

387
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 7: a nice run here and make a playoff push.

388
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: Themselves. Hot takes is always from Jeffrey Chedea. Almost as

389
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: hot as the salsa ver day you can get on

390
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: your burrito right now at Chipotle. Jeffrey, thank you very much.

391
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: More from Jeffrey edevil dot com slash Chedea coming up after.

392
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: This's the guy who's seen hotter teams in his day,

393
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. He's got some thoughts not just on his team,

394
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: but on the way people are talking about his team.

395
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: We'll explain next on the Insiders.

396
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: My son Max is big time into Greek and Roman mythology.

397
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 9: I checked with him. This is Super Bowl sixty two.

398
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 9: That's what the Roman numerals are. Sixty two, Judy, that's

399
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 9: when the Super Bowl is heading back right here to Atlanta,

400
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 9: twenty twenty eight.

401
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: It was a good one last time. I had at

402
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: ate some great restaurants. Fox about this barbecue where I'm.

403
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 9: Going tonight, Atlanta back in the Super Bowl rotation, second

404
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 9: time in a day decade. So of course we are

405
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 9: here at the Fall League meeting. Always a fun one,

406
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 9: always eventful. We've been talking about the different news that

407
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 9: came out of this. Tom Brady being part owner of

408
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 9: the Raiders for one. Obviously there was a lot more

409
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 9: several briefings from league officials. For you, what was your

410
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 9: biggest takeaway not Tom Brady related from these.

411
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 10: Meetings, well, other than all the trades that happened that

412
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 10: the owner is talking about them, I think on League

413
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 10: news they're pretty happy with where the dynamic kickoff is

414
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 10: right now, which you may be surprised because it hasn't

415
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 10: generated a ton of kickoff returns. About thirty two percent

416
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 10: of kickoffs are being returned, but that's way up from

417
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 10: where they were at this point last year. They were

418
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 10: only at seventeen percent returns last year, so it's a

419
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 10: huge boost. They think it's something to build on. There's

420
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 10: no question they're going to tweak it. Roger Goodell said

421
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 10: as much in his briefing. They're definitely going to look

422
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 10: at it after the year, but they think this is

423
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 10: a good starting point. The tweak that they would look

424
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 10: at is having a touchback go than to the thirty

425
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 10: five yard line, which obviously.

426
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: To incentivize right kick it right.

427
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 10: So that of course would be a huge advantage for

428
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 10: the team that takes possession to start that, and they

429
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 10: think that that would incentivize having more returns.

430
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 5: They are balancing against would that create more injuries.

431
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 10: The really good news is there's been only one concussion

432
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 10: suffered on kickoffs.

433
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 5: Through week six, so that is great news.

434
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 9: Serious lack of injuries on the kickoff play specifically. That

435
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 9: was certainly noteworthy, as were the very small but growing

436
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 9: number of players wearing the Guardian caps that that we

437
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 9: saw a tailor rap for one. The Buffalo Bill's were

438
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 9: one last night. So a lot of good health and

439
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 9: safety news. There were some not great things today around

440
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 9: the Dallas Cowboys. I think it's fair to say not

441
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 9: here now. Jerry Jones did walk in here one minute

442
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 9: before the meeting started then talk about how, hey, guys,

443
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 9: I can't really talk.

444
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 8: I got to go.

445
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 9: He knew there was a lot to talk about. He

446
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 9: talked about a lot of it on one to five

447
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 9: to three of the fan Some of it was a

448
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 9: little chippy. I just it was anyway, take a listen,

449
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 9: we'll come right back.

450
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 14: There was a lot of criticism that you guys didn't add,

451
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 14: didn't spend, and don't add and don't spend, and are

452
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 14: not aggressive enough with some of the problems that are

453
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 14: still haunting the Cowboys today that we see playing on

454
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 14: the field. That's the point of talking about the off season.

455
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 8: Oh oh, I remember those criticisms very well. Okay, so what.

456
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: Are they playing out to be accurate?

457
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 8: What's your point? What's your point? This is not your job.

458
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 8: Your job is to let me go over all the

459
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 8: reasons that I did something and I'm sorry that I

460
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 8: did it. That's not your job.

461
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: Well, my job is asking a job, or.

462
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 8: I'll get another. I'll get somebody else to ask these questions.

463
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 14: Man, Jerry, We're just we're trying to figure out why

464
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 14: the team out.

465
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 8: I'm not kidding it. I'm not kidding it. You're not

466
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 8: going to figure out it's what the team is doing

467
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 8: right or wrong. If you all are any five or

468
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 8: ten like you, you need to come to this meeting

469
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 8: I'm going to today. There are thirty two teams. Here

470
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 8: are your geniuses.

471
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 9: Well that was a ten out of ten on the

472
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 9: awk meter. Oh boy, yeah, I mean that's like the

473
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 9: third time I've listened to that, and I still get

474
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 9: just really strange and awkward. Now, Jerry Jones meets with

475
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 9: reporters after almost every game, does weekly radio spots of

476
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 9: one o five through the fan.

477
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: It can get like that. I can't remember being just

478
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: like that. What did you make of.

479
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 5: All of them? Well, Jerry, So I was at the

480
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 5: game when he was clearly unhappy.

481
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 10: Jerry is usually, to his credit, in good humor, in

482
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 10: good times and bad. He is one of those people

483
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 10: who thinks, just as long as you're talking about us,

484
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 10: we know you're gonna have to talk about us when

485
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 10: things are bad, if you're talking about it when things

486
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 10: are good. This loss clearly stung. He made it clear

487
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 10: on Sunday he was very unhappy about it, that he

488
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 10: was embarrassed by it, and clearly he is still quite

489
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 10: upset about it.

490
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 5: Just to tell you why, he and talk to reporters

491
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 5: on his way in.

492
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 10: As he walked in and the reporters among us you

493
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 10: and I were there, converged on him. He was grabbed

494
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 10: by a league pr person by the hand and pulled

495
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 10: away from us. So that's why Jerry didn't talk. And

496
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 10: then when he was on the way out and we converged, Jerry,

497
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 10: I want.

498
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: To stop for a second.

499
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 5: And he turned and he.

500
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 10: Looked at us and he goes, I'm going to pass guys,

501
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 10: and then he turned and then he stopped and he

502
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 10: turned again and he said, unless you want me to

503
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 10: chew your bleepout.

504
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 5: Joking and then he said, ha ha, thumbs up. So

505
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: Cherry's going through it a little bit right now. This

506
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 5: is a talking but joking but not entirely joking.

507
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 10: Look, it's been a tough week and Jerry is well

508
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 10: aware of the shortcomings of his team, and certainly he

509
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 10: is well aware of the role he plays in contributing

510
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 10: to the shortcomings.

511
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 5: It's been a tough week.

512
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 9: For Jerry, and I think it's fair to say going

513
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 9: into this by we I think a lot of people

514
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 9: expected change.

515
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 3: It didn't seem like there's going to be a lot

516
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 3: of changes.

517
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 9: There will be a ton of eyeballs on the Cowboys

518
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 9: over the next three or so weeks leading up to

519
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 9: the trade deadline.

520
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: Seeing what they do.

521
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 9: They do get some of the defensive stars, including Michael

522
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 9: Parsons back, but ooh yeah, a lot of people looking

523
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 9: at the Cowboys after that one, Tom take it away.

524
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: Did Ian say ten out of ten on the Awk meter?

525
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: That was an eleven time Now for Game Flow presented

526
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: by Progressive Insurance, Lots change over the past week or

527
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: so for the New York Jets. They got a new

528
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: head coach, they got a new wide receiver. They got

529
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: another loss right there, sealed by Tron Johnson picking off

530
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on a route that Rodgers made abundantly clear.

531
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: Mike Williams did not quite run correctly, you know, who

532
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: knows how to run routes exactly like Rogers wants his

533
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 1: old buddy Davante Adams, who is officially now a New

534
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: York Jet. The Jets sending a third round conditional picking

535
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five that can become a second rounder to

536
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, also taking on the entirety of

537
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: adams remaining salary to make sure that they were able

538
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: to make this reunion happen. As we welcome you back

539
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: to the Insiders, joined now by Brian Baldinger and Mark

540
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: Ross Baldy, it has been a day around the NFL.

541
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: Lot's gone on. Let's start out with this trade. You've

542
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: had like over a year to think about how this

543
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: might work out. Davante Adams, It's really happened. He's a jet.

544
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 15: Your thoughts, well, he's already in the building in Florm Park,

545
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 15: you know, so it was already like orchestrated. Maybe as

546
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 15: soon as they lost last night. He was on a

547
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 15: plane to get here. Look, he wants to be here.

548
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 15: Aaron wants them here. We've known that for a long time.

549
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 15: But I don't know that just because DeVante here. They

550
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 15: haven't played in three years together, so maybe they still

551
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 15: have the same connection. Maybe they still have this ability,

552
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 15: like you know, be able to make these kind of

553
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 15: throws like Minshew did it Davante against the Ravens this year.

554
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 15: I don't know that it's going to fix the penalty situation,

555
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 15: the breakdowns that have existed in the passing game, some

556
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 15: of the lapses in just awareness of this ball team

557
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 15: in all phases, whether it's the kicking game wherever. I

558
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 15: don't know if it's going to fix all that. I

559
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 15: know this though, Mark, when I look at the last

560
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 15: three games, whether it's Denver, Minnesota over London or last

561
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 15: night against Buffalo, they could have won all three games

562
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 15: on the final drive.

563
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: They couldn't make the play.

564
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 15: They make the play to Mike Williams that make the

565
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 15: play to Garrett Wilson a week ago in London, mis

566
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 15: routes against Denver in the rain. I mean, maybe DeVante

567
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 15: is that guy at the end of these games that

568
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 15: could win it for him. I think that's what they're

569
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 15: all hoping. I think there's still a missmash of problems

570
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 15: within this franchise, within the team that still have to

571
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 15: get corrected. Aaron Rodgers talked a little bit about it

572
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 15: that we have to detail our business, but this is

573
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 15: week six, Mark, I don't know when the details are

574
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 15: supposed to be polished at this point.

575
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 13: One hundred percent, Baldy, I think the Jets kind of

576
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 13: are what they are right now, and hope is not

577
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 13: a true strategy running front offices.

578
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: Hope is not a strategy.

579
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 13: But you talked about the positives there with the GM,

580
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 13: Aarons getting his guy now and if this doesn't work out,

581
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 13: then there really is no more excuses there for the

582
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 13: Jets and what they're doing. But you talked about some

583
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 13: of the problems and even the old line. You didn't

584
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 13: mention the old line and how porous they were last

585
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 13: night and adding to the penalties that crushed some touchdowns

586
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 13: and crushed some drives. So I think schematically also the

587
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 13: positives of that is that the ball has to come

588
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 13: out so quick for Aaron Rodgers now you see you've

589
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 13: seen them in six games now it really has to

590
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 13: come out If not the plays don't get made. So

591
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 13: Devanta Adams gives him that quick outlet to go with

592
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 13: Garrett Wilson. What you're really trying to do is both

593
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 13: of those guys win one on ones and Aaron gets

594
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 13: them to the ball, gets the ball to them extremely quick.

595
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 13: Now that limits your offense. If they run the ball

596
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 13: the way they did last night. With Breese Hall finally

597
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 13: looking like the Breese Hall that we've seen, then that

598
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 13: opens it up a little more. But I still think,

599
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 13: as you said, there's a lot of fundamental problems here

600
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 13: with this Jets team, with the penalties, with the old

601
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 13: line at the age, and Devanta Adams hasn't played in

602
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 13: three weeks now that hamstring miraculously recovered there going up

603
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 13: getting on that fight going to New York. So well,

604
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 13: there be some rush too, But you know, I don't

605
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 13: think this solves the problem. Still see a little bit

606
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 13: up and down from the debts the rest of the way.

607
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 13: There were several other.

608
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: Teams that were involved in having interest in Devonte Adams,

609
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: including the Saints, the Steelers, and the Bills, who, just

610
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: hours after the Devonte Adams trade became final and official,

611
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: made their own move, trading for Amari Cooper. It's basically

612
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: a third round pick that goes to Cleveland. There's also

613
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: a pickflop evolved in the deal. A big difference here,

614
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: Baldy was the Bills couldn't take on eleven point six

615
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: million dollars for Devonte Adams because the Browns had restructured

616
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: Cooper earlier this year. They get him for about eight

617
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: hundred grand for the rest of the season. How do

618
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: you see this fitting in for Mariy Cooper in Buffalo?

619
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 15: Well, I think first of all, you're gonna get a

620
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 15: very motivated Amari Cooper. I mean, you go from a

621
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 15: one to five brown team that's going nowhere, so a

622
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 15: first place four and two Bills team that have won

623
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 15: the division four years long. Everybody wants to go to winner.

624
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 15: I can't imagine a receiver in this league that wouldn't

625
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 15: want to play with Josh Allen. Look, they're a run

626
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 15: first team right now under Joe Brady the offensive coordinator.

627
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 15: But there's a place for Amari in this offense for sure.

628
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 15: They're twenty fifth in passing right now. That's probably not

629
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 15: good enough to win playoff games. You know you heard

630
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 15: last night Sean McDermott talk about when Josh Allen shakes loose,

631
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 15: we got to be able to, you know, run our

632
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 15: different plays after the exits and O's take over, you know,

633
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 15: the scramble drills. I can imagine Amari Cooper being in

634
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 15: love when Josh Allen shakes loose and to get into

635
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 15: his vision to catch a lot of passes for this offense.

636
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 15: He's a great route runner. You got to give him

637
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 15: and be patient with them to win those routes. But

638
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 15: he's still an elite player on the outside. Something I

639
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 15: think the Bills could really use.

640
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 8: Mark.

641
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 13: I absolutely love this for the Bills with Lamaryn Cooper.

642
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 13: And the difference here is you're not expecting AMRII Cooper

643
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 13: to come in here and save this offense. You've seen

644
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 13: that they can, like last night.

645
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 6: Run the ball.

646
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 13: They still have Josh Allen, a top three quarterback in

647
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 13: the league who can take over games. What it does

648
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 13: bringing in Amari Cooper a true number one receiver is

649
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 13: it makes all of those other players better, all those

650
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 13: other players that got elevated above what their competency was.

651
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 13: Guys heard about the Peter Principal look into that the

652
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 13: Bills receivers got raised that, you know, over the Peter

653
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 13: principal above, what they really were competent to do. Whereas

654
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 13: the one should have been the two, the two should

655
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 13: have been a three. Now with a Marii Cooper there,

656
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 13: everybody can settle into their role and it just gives

657
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 13: Josh Allen that outlet of when I need a big play.

658
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 13: He was going to mac Hollins in big situations last night. No,

659
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 13: now I've got Amari Cooper, one of the best receivers

660
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 13: in the league to go to to go with what

661
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 13: I can do and take over games. Josh Allen, how

662
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 13: we've seen the rough run game go.

663
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: I just love this, this fit with the Bills, with

664
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: the Marie Cooper, Mark Baldy, thank you very much. Look

665
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: forward to speaking with the two of you again soon.

666
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: Look forward to speaking to our next guest as well,

667
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. Will he be out there

668
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: this week after battling that high ankle spring and how

669
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: good can this Colts team be? Some good stuff ahead

670
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: with jt next on the Insiders. A lot of different

671
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: ways that guys can use their off day, which is

672
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: often Tuesday across the NFL. Might take it easy, or

673
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: you might get a part time job working at Dairy Queen.

674
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: That's where Jonathan Taylor was today. Before everybody who has

675
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: n't been Fantasy football starts freaking out he hasn't played

676
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: in the past couple weeks. No, sources say he does not,

677
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: in fact now have a full time job at DQ

678
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: And these sources are actually that guy right there, Jonathan Taylor,

679
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: who's joining me, Tom Pelasero right now on the Insiders.

680
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: We got a lot we got to get into JT

681
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: about your team the ankle, but tell me to do

682
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: it with Dairy Queen right now.

683
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 6: Yeah. So today was actually a fun day, especially on

684
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 6: my off day. Anytime I have some downtime a place

685
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 6: I like to call home, I always liked to touch

686
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 6: back with the community, the fans because they make Lucas

687
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 6: Oriol so special, so me to today me and Anthony

688
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 6: were down at our local Dairy Queen promoting handy out

689
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 6: and saucing and tossing their new chicken strips. I think

690
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 6: today was just a day for me to connect with

691
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 6: not only the fans and a lot of the community,

692
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 6: but also Anthony off of the field. So being able

693
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 6: to partner with Dairy Queen today to go over their

694
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 6: new sauce and toss chicken strip baskets. It was amazing.

695
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 6: We tried to of their new flavors, the parmesan and garlic,

696
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 6: and the honey barbecue. The honey barbecue was a fan favorite.

697
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 6: I couldn't really decide until I actually started tasting more

698
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 6: of the honey barbecue, of course tossed by yours truly myself,

699
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 6: but I would say that the honey barbecue definitely would

700
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 6: have been my favorite. From today, but also seeing a

701
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 6: lot of the smiling fans, a lot of people in

702
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 6: the community from young to old, I would say that

703
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 6: this is something that every player should try and do

704
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 6: on their off time, whenever they're not rehabbing, whenever they're

705
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 6: not on the field training, whenever they're not lifting, go

706
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 6: back to your community and just and just go back

707
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 6: to the fans that make your stadium very very special,

708
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 6: because that's what it is. They make your stadium special,

709
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 6: so it's always good to connect with them.

710
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: Here's what I appreciate. You t a lot of guys

711
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: come through here and they're pitching different products and different things.

712
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: You knew the menu, Okay, you had the breakdown on

713
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: the exact sauces that you were going to get on

714
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: those chicken strips. So good on you for knowing the lines.

715
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the other thing that people

716
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: are also curious about if they didn't already run out

717
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: to go get a blizzard right now? How's the ankle?

718
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: How are you feeling and are we going to see

719
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: you on Sunday against the Dolphins.

720
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 6: I'm definitely feeling better this week. Ankles are nothing new

721
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 6: to me. I've been dealing with them for quite a bit.

722
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 6: I'm doing everything in my power to be back out

723
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 6: there again this week. You know, the high ankles are

724
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 6: always tricky, especially when you know you're playing a high

725
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 6: contact sport like this. But I'm sure I'm up for

726
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 6: the challenge. Me and the training stack with Indianapolis. We're

727
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 6: going to do everything that we can do to be

728
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 6: back out there this week and in a coming weeks

729
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 6: going forward, because it's just you want to be out

730
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 6: there with your team helping them make plays. But I

731
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 6: have the utmost confidence in our team. You guys saw

732
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 6: young guys stepped up. We were able to get a

733
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 6: hard road division win, and we got a chance to

734
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 6: come back home this week. So we'll feed off the

735
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 6: crowd at Lucas Oil. I'm sure they'll be into it,

736
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 6: but it won't be easy.

737
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: And Shane steak And already said that Barne setback Anthony

738
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: Richardson's going to be out there again this week. We

739
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: just saw him throwing no look chicken finger tosses to

740
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: you here when it comes to the football number one,

741
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: what do you see from him? How is he feeling?

742
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: But also just what do you see in terms of

743
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: the growth and why people watching this show should believe

744
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: in Anthony Richardson as the Colts franchise QB.

745
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, especially today at our event, Anthony did most

746
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 6: of the tossing and for sure I did a lot

747
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 6: of the sauce and I think that was only right.

748
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 6: But I've definitely seen him grow from the previous year.

749
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 6: I mean, he was hit with adversity right away. No

750
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 6: one wants to see this happen. No one wants this

751
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 6: to happen, but going down your rookie year. But as

752
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 6: a quarterback, I think it's a tough thing that finding

753
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 6: your off field routine is almost harder than being able

754
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 6: to get better on the field. Because everybody's a great

755
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 6: talent in the NFL. Of course you'll be able to

756
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 6: find your way on the field. That's how we found

757
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 6: our way into the NFL. But it's that off that

758
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 6: off the field program, that routine, what's going to set

759
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 6: you apart from other players in this league. How are

760
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 6: you going to get an edge? And I've seen him

761
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 6: do that day in and day out, on and off

762
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 6: the field. So being able to continue to see him grow.

763
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 6: You guys have seen it him. On the field. He's

764
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 6: going to make electrifying plays. He's going to be a playmaker.

765
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 6: And now adding that on top of that off of

766
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 6: the field, he's going to be very very special to

767
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 6: watch and the years come and years to come.

768
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: So last thing, real quick for we let you go, JT.

769
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm setting my fantasy lineup. Now you're saying I am

770
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: safe putting you in the lineup. I should do it

771
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: right now.

772
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 6: Well, I don't want you to put me in and

773
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 6: then now I'm out. But as long as you have

774
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 6: a good swap, then you're a perfect.

775
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,920

790
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders, presented by Progressive Insurance. Tom Pelasio,

791
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: now joined by Sam Schwarstein, Prime Video and Thursday n

792
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: Football's analytics expert, who is going to use next gen

793
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: stats to help us break down this matchup. Sam, thanks

794
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: always for being here. Para rookie's facing off, but Bo

795
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: Nicks kind of the veteran in this game, not just

796
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: because he's like thirty five years old. Here. What are

797
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: you encouraged by from Nick so far?

798
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, if you squint hard enough, you don't

799
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 16: see ten back there in Denver, you see fifteen.

800
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: He's doing his best tim t bow knicks back there.

801
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 16: He hasn't done great in the air, but he keeps

802
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 16: this team in the game by utilizing his legs. He'll

803
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 16: escape the pocket. Get what I'm really excited about his

804
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 16: ability to get first downs. I'm not just so concerned

805
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 16: about how many yards he's able to get or any

806
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 16: high analytics using scrambling, but his ability to keep the

807
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 16: team moving, breaking tackles, extending drives by getting that extra

808
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 16: first down. You know, he had a forty yard scramble

809
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 16: at the end of the game against the Chargers that

810
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 16: was able to help get them into opponent territory to

811
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 16: have a chance to come back. And this team will

812
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 16: always lean on their defense, and for rookie quarterback it's

813
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 16: always tough. But his ability to utilize his legs is

814
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 16: giving him that Ferris Bueller esque randomness that Sean Payton

815
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 16: has seen this year.

816
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler got his first start with Derek carr out.

817
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: Sounds like he'll be out there again Thursday. What did

818
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: Rattler show you just in his first few plays?

819
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 16: It showed me that they have a lot of confidence

820
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 16: in him, and they're going to Klint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator,

821
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 16: is going to scheme specific plays for him to throw

822
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 16: on the run. Over thirty three percent of his throws

823
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 16: or he was moving eight or more miles per hour

824
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 16: and this was his first play. It's a designed roll

825
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 16: About twenty five percent of his dropbacks are design rollouts.

826
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 16: He's not going to play like Tom Brady in the

827
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 16: backfield scanning the entire field. He's going to either get

828
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 16: them moving by design or he's going to utilize his

829
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 16: legs to extend plays.

830
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: This is a real league good thing.

831
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 16: We saw now in the second half they weren't able

832
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 16: to do this because the run game wasn't there, But

833
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 16: with the amount of players they're missing on the offensive line,

834
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 16: moving the pocket and getting Rattler moving is how they

835
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 16: have a chance to win this game on Thursday.

836
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, you've got a Broncos front led by a guy

837
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: in Zach Allen. Maybe not a household name, but what

838
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: do you see from him in that Broncos team?

839
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 16: Yeah, when you see him on Thursday Night on Prime Vision.

840
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 16: You might think he's the long lost Watt brother wearing

841
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 16: ninety nine with the elbow breaks and he plays like

842
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 16: JJ Watt. He's got a guy twenty eight run stops.

843
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 16: That means that a run tackle that resulted in that

844
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 16: negative play on a run. He's really doing his best

845
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 16: in the NFL to break through those blocks. But he

846
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 16: also does it in the past game. You know when

847
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 16: his time in Arizona, he really came on at the end,

848
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 16: earned him this big contract in for the Broncos, and

849
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 16: now he's able to get in the backfield, not just

850
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 16: on runs abound pass. With Patrick Retain being questionable, Zach

851
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 16: Allen's the guy they're going to lean on.

852
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: Is the lynchpin for this defense. He was always Sam.

853
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: You can watch Sam every week on Thursday and Football's

858
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: more days, but it sounds like he is going to

859

00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: across the NFL. Here we had trades galore. We had

867
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: look at the beat by beat. I have not moved

868
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: from right here this entire time. Three trades, a likely

869
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: quarterback change in Pittsburgh. Hassan Redick has provision to seek

870
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: a trade. We got Tom Brady's back as an owner.

871
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: We also had a big deal within the past few minutes,

872
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: the Lions locking up defensive tackle Alien McNeil, who Alie McNeil,

873
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: on a four year, ninety seven million dollar deal with

874
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: fifty five million dollars guaranteed. And also this the twelve

875

Speaker 1: year anniversary of Ian Rappaport getting hit in the face

876
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: by a football, a ball that now has been enshrined

877
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: to Ian in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. How

878
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: does it feel?

879
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 9: It's an honor. I got to be honest, I never

880
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 9: expected this. I've accomplished a lot of things in my career,

881
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 9: but this, this is the biggest. You know, I thought

882
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 9: that Devont Adams trade was good. Today this is better.

883
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 9: I had a couple of great tweets earlier today a

884
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 9: couple of typos too.

885
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: This is better.

886
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: Just really, it's an honor.

887
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 5: Guys, shoulder pads he had soon.

888
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 3: He's enormous.

889
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrow.
