Speaker 1: We have quarterback drama in Washington, though by that franchise's
Speaker 1: historical standards, this isn't so bad. Will Jadeen Daniels play
Speaker 1: on Sunday against Kayleb Williams and the Bears. We'll tell
Speaker 1: you the latest from Commander's HQ. An undrafted rookie who
Speaker 1: signed for twenty five thousand dollars picked off a four
Speaker 1: time NFL MVP twice last week. Did Beanie Bishop Junior
Speaker 1: really have the guts to send both those balls to
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers for an autograph? We will ask him when
Speaker 1: Beanie joins the show. Also, did you draft Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: in Fantasy football? Are you crying in the back seat
Speaker 1: about injuries?
Speaker 2: Good news?
Speaker 1: Adam rak has some quick fixes to get your team
Speaker 1: back on track. Step one, spend your next sixty minutes
Speaker 1: with us. Welcome inside with the insiders. Aside Ian Rappaport
Speaker 1: and Mike Garaffollo, I am Tom Pelisero.
Speaker 3: Week eight in the NFL got off with a bang
Speaker 3: last night and also a face mask maybe bending if
Speaker 3: you're everybody watching at home or at the officials on
Speaker 3: the field could go either way on that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that game. The impact on Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: trade talks. Also, he followed from a big injury in
Speaker 1: that game for the Minnesota Vikings. But let's start by
Speaker 1: looking ahead to some injuries that are impact in the
Speaker 1: games coming up this weekend. And also one guy who
Speaker 1: now officially is back, Toua Tungua Bai Looa has cleared
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol was cleared by an independent neurologist Thursday
Speaker 1: after practice, and coach Mike McDaniel says that yes, Tua
Speaker 1: will be back in the starting lineup on Sunday against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. He made that decision in concert with his
Speaker 1: family as well as medical experts, none of whom recommended
Speaker 1: that he retire from the game, so now to well
Speaker 1: as he wanted, is back on the field well, they Avis.
Speaker 1: Top wide receiver Tyreek Hill questionable after coming up with
Speaker 1: a foot injury during the week of practice. Mike McDaniel says,
Speaker 1: though he's very confident Tyreek is going to go. Zay
Speaker 1: Flowers return to practice today, he's questionable. T Higgins a
Speaker 1: surprise edition with a quad injury, questionable to face the
Speaker 1: Eagles on Sunday. DK Metcalf doubtful at this point. Deyontay
Speaker 1: Johnson out, so's Adam Thiel and so Bryce Young's return
Speaker 1: to the lineup. It's gonna be throwing a backups against
Speaker 1: the Broncos and then Micah Parsons. That's a huge loss
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Out Sunday night against the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: Will Jaden Daniels play? Officially? He is listed as questionable
Speaker 1: after the rib injury that he suffered on What has
Speaker 1: to go down is the worst. I guess you'd call
Speaker 1: that a slide attempt that we'll probably see in the
Speaker 1: NFL this season. He spoke with reporters after a limited
Speaker 1: participation in practice today, was asked whether or not he
Speaker 1: was concerned that injury could linger throughout the season.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll think so. I mean, it's football. At the
Speaker 4: end of the day. Things happen. Sometimes you might have
Speaker 4: to fight through something. But if you could go, you
Speaker 4: can give you all and be smart about it. Obviously,
Speaker 4: they want to put me in any position they want
Speaker 4: to feel comfortable in from my future, and I want
Speaker 4: to put myself in that predictment.
Speaker 5: Either I felt good.
Speaker 4: Treatment all that trying to get back right. You give
Speaker 4: myself a chance to go out there, be confident, play
Speaker 4: and you know, ultimately the trainers and Adam and d
Speaker 4: Ky they make the decision let me play and stuff
Speaker 4: like that. You know they feel confident too.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some commanders fans ian at home who
Speaker 1: are having flashbacks even though this is a totally different injury,
Speaker 1: different situation, but a number two overall pick, who's a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who's on instant sensation, who's dealing with an injury,
Speaker 1: And you're sitting there asking the questions, but are you
Speaker 1: worried this might linger and turn into something worse? Here? Okay,
Speaker 1: all RG three comparisons aside. Here, what do we know?
Speaker 1: Do we anticip Jaden really has a chance to be
Speaker 1: out there Sunday against the Bears.
Speaker 2: It seems like at least he has a chance.
Speaker 6: Now, let's go over what Jayden Daniels has done and
Speaker 6: what he has not done this week. Didn't practice Wednesday,
Speaker 6: which is a hugely important game plan day.
Speaker 2: Didn't practice Thursday.
Speaker 6: For the early portion of Friday's practice, he was inside
Speaker 6: getting abdominal work and some rehab works. He was out
Speaker 6: later in practice did do some team and according to
Speaker 6: head coach Dan Quinn, they pushed him pretty hard. He
Speaker 6: remains questionable. They said they're going to know over the
Speaker 6: next forty eight hours whether or not he'll be.
Speaker 2: Able to play.
Speaker 6: Generally, generally, when a young player, or really even a
Speaker 6: veteran player who is a quarterback doesn't practice Wednesday or Thursday,
Speaker 6: generally those guys don't play, not because they're not able
Speaker 6: to play, but because they haven't properly prepared to play
Speaker 6: a game.
Speaker 2: We actually saw a somewhat similar.
Speaker 6: Situation with Justin Herbert a couple of years ago, barely practiced,
Speaker 6: willed himself out there on the field and ended up
Speaker 6: having not a great performances. He was dealing with a
Speaker 6: very similar rib injury. It remains to be seen whether
Speaker 6: or not Jameen Daniels will go. The fact that Marcus
Speaker 6: Murriota looked great in relief certainly is something that will
Speaker 6: help them exercise caution. But I expect them to exercise
Speaker 6: caution anyway. This is their franchise. It's a cool game,
Speaker 6: it's a sexy game. It is just one game. If
Speaker 6: he can't go, they're gonna make sure he does not go.
Speaker 7: Much as we all want to see Number one versus
Speaker 7: Number two. The decision that the commanders are going to
Speaker 7: make has nothing to do with the matchup here. It's
Speaker 7: going to be whatdn't matter who they're playing, Like can
Speaker 7: he go? Can he not go? It's a pass fail
Speaker 7: type thing. And remember that his mother tweeted out on
Speaker 7: Sunday during the game that he's fine, and the understanding was, well,
Speaker 7: X rays came up clean and there's no rib fracture,
Speaker 7: but there's rib cartilage as well. And Ian, I think
Speaker 7: I remember there was a Lashawn McCoy report that you
Speaker 7: had that he had a fracture and it like was
Speaker 7: not the rib, it was the cartilage. And I think
Speaker 7: he missed the game it was I don't know why
Speaker 7: I remember that, but I remember that being.
Speaker 2: I remember that go for you. That was very annoying.
Speaker 7: Regardless, Yeah, just because there's no fracture, if there's a
Speaker 7: cartilage issue, that's painful, Like sometimes that's even more painful
Speaker 7: than the rib injury itself. So how functional is he
Speaker 7: gonna be. They're gonna keep this alive until Sunday. We're
Speaker 7: gonna have as much reporting as we can tomorrow into
Speaker 7: Sunday about this. We'll get our decision, hopefully before you're
Speaker 7: one o'clock games. If you have Jayden Daniels on your
Speaker 7: fantasy team. Oh wait, that's me, Ian, I need an
Speaker 7: answer before one.
Speaker 1: Thank you the analysis you only get here on the Insiders.
Speaker 1: Mike Herrofullo Dunky not Ian for a injury issue seven
Speaker 1: years ago. That's exclusive right here. All right, Let's talk
Speaker 1: about Cooper Cup because Ian had some reports on that
Speaker 1: as well. There are a lot of reports on Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup last week. He was the subject of trade calls
Speaker 1: throughout the week. There were ongoing conversations. He then came
Speaker 1: out last night, returned to the lineup, and while I
Speaker 1: don't know that this was full on, one hundred percent
Speaker 1: flamethrower Cooper Cup, he was productive five catches, fifty one
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. The Rams gonna win, Mike, we know.
Speaker 1: Sean McVay said up after the game, reiterated today that
Speaker 1: he does not see, and does not expect and does
Speaker 1: not want the Rams to move on from Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1: They got a big game ten days away, nine days
Speaker 1: now against Seattle that potentially could put them atop the division.
Speaker 1: Where does this conversation go from here? The conversation has
Speaker 1: been happening.
Speaker 7: It's pretty clear that there were conversations with teams regarding
Speaker 7: Cooper Cup. Ian has reported that, and it's not like
Speaker 7: Sean McVay is saying, well, that was wrong. If you're
Speaker 7: a general manager and you're less need and you're looking
Speaker 7: at the situation and it looked dire two weeks ago.
Speaker 7: Now they were confident inside the building, well, we're gonna
Speaker 7: get healthy and we can win a couple of these
Speaker 7: games here, we can get ourselves back in and it's
Speaker 7: what happened. But if you're a general manager, you've always
Speaker 7: got to be looking forward and saying, well, if we're
Speaker 7: not in it, We've got this high cost guy here,
Speaker 7: he is coming toward the latter part of his career.
Speaker 7: We've got younger receivers that we believe in. We have
Speaker 7: to make decisions for the long haul. We've got to
Speaker 7: gather draft capital. I'm going to have these conversations and
Speaker 7: then we'll see what happens. And so they went out
Speaker 7: and they won these two games, and Tommy're right, they're
Speaker 7: in the thick of this. Nobody's running away with the division.
Speaker 7: Cooper cup is an integral piece for them right now,
Speaker 7: just as he would have been for a team that
Speaker 7: they traded him to potentially so why not hang on
Speaker 7: to him and see what we can do. We certainly
Speaker 7: showed last year that we're capable of putting together a
Speaker 7: bunch of wins to claw the way our way back
Speaker 7: into it and make the postseason.
Speaker 1: That's how good they feel right now.
Speaker 2: Nobody cares what you actually report.
Speaker 6: Nobody cares that I reported the Rams were receiving calls,
Speaker 6: not making calls. Nobody cares that I reported that if
Speaker 6: they won the next two games, it would change the
Speaker 6: course of where they go. But that's all true. They
Speaker 6: have won in the next two games. I don't expect
Speaker 6: them to trade Cooper Cup now. And my source is
Speaker 6: literally Sean mcvagh on the record, who says right there
Speaker 6: on the bottom line, we expect him to stay that way.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what really shooed out for me.
Speaker 6: You can talk about the health of Cooper Cup or
Speaker 6: whether he looks as fast as he did when he's
Speaker 6: twenty two. How about the trust that Matthew Stafford has
Speaker 6: with him. That catch, right there is a throw that
Speaker 6: I don't know that any quarterback in the NFL makes us.
Speaker 2: You have absolute certainty.
Speaker 6: That the guy you are thrown to who is going
Speaker 6: to turn around that second and catch it. That was
Speaker 6: the third down, throw down the sideline. It was what
Speaker 6: you do if you know for sure your guy is
Speaker 6: gonna be there. That was as good explanation as any
Speaker 6: why one they don't want Cooper Cup to go anywhere too?
Speaker 6: With Phuka Nakua and Cooper Cup both back in the lineup,
Speaker 6: this RAMS team is pretty good.
Speaker 1: Maybe Brian Baldinger is gonna be with us in a
Speaker 1: little bit to help us also break down that game further.
Speaker 1: Also a reminder you might have seen him flying around
Speaker 1: the screen there. The trade deadline November fifth, eleven days away.
Speaker 1: Castor votes first, then tune in with us a insider
Speaker 1: special at four pm Eastern time? Do we also have one?
Speaker 1: Jeff Colletter coordinated producer at seven pm that night? Do
Speaker 1: we have two insider shows?
Speaker 2: Do we know? Hopefully?
Speaker 1: May we better believe that we have two insider shows?
Speaker 1: Do we get paid extra for that?
Speaker 8: Jeff?
Speaker 1: I believe? Yeah, No, no we do not. Beanie beishif's
Speaker 1: not gonna get traded. He's a big star as an
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie for the Steelers. What a moment for him,
Speaker 1: and now what a moment again because he's joining us
Speaker 1: on the Insiders. Right after this, Rogers.
Speaker 9: Has an empty seven kiss his snap, Steelers rushing four Rogers.
Speaker 5: He throws over the middle of the field.
Speaker 4: That's their greaterception.
Speaker 5: He is picked off Frank will Fleet, do you call me?
Speaker 8: And it is pitched off by Beatie Bishop, who was
Speaker 8: having a terrific team for the Steelers. Rogers back to pack,
Speaker 8: Rogers looking has a man in between, opened out, picked
Speaker 8: off by Beatie Bishop, bottled up in the air, test Bishop,
Speaker 8: we'll take it. Send station at all, Oh my goodness,
Speaker 8: putting the water down at Morgantown. They send us to
Speaker 8: the Morgantown ballard. They went a great knight with his
Speaker 8: young man. They count up two Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: Balls, not just one, but two interceptions for Steelers undrafted
Speaker 1: rookie Beanie Bishop Junior, in addition to six tackles that
Speaker 1: he had in that game. But last week against the Jets,
Speaker 1: a big week for Bettie again to hes right here
Speaker 1: making his debut on the Insiders with me, Tom Peliicero
Speaker 1: as well as Ian rapport. Beattie. Just just watching those
Speaker 1: highlights back, you got like a thirty second highlight reel
Speaker 1: from one game halfway through your rookie career, Like, what's
Speaker 1: this like being you in this moment?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 10: Oh man, it's you know, it's great. You know, the
Speaker 10: preparation that we put in and you know, just to
Speaker 10: see it all, you know, coming into Fruition. Just being
Speaker 10: able to go out there and you know, play amongst
Speaker 10: the bass guys and you know, just to live the.
Speaker 11: Dream of playing football on Sundays. You know, it's great.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 6: One of our previous guests on The Insiders, Kirby Joseph,
Speaker 6: great safety for the Detroit Lions, also picked off Aaron
Speaker 6: Rodgers twice. He still has the balls and in fact,
Speaker 6: when we interview him, he were like, yeah, here it is,
Speaker 6: it's right here.
Speaker 2: Do you have those footballs?
Speaker 6: And just pick looking off Aaron Rodgers himself, with what significance.
Speaker 2: Did that have for you?
Speaker 5: No, I do not have the balls.
Speaker 10: I think they're they're in New York, are getting sent
Speaker 10: to New York, you know, for him to sign them,
Speaker 10: and you know, it just means, you know, kicking off
Speaker 10: a Hall of Fame quarterback, well, any quarterback in the
Speaker 10: NFL is great, but for my first one, in my
Speaker 10: second one to come off off of Hall of famers,
Speaker 10: you know it's great in a story that I'm going
Speaker 10: to be able to tell my kids and grand children.
Speaker 1: So tell me this, Speanie, and then there's you know,
Speaker 1: a history of this, right, you get the interception off
Speaker 1: of the quarterback and signs the jersey, signs the ball whatever.
Speaker 1: When you get them twice, is any part of you like,
Speaker 1: maybe I should only get one ball autograph because two
Speaker 1: kind of feels like I'm rubbing it in here.
Speaker 12: I was kind of thinking that too, but you know,
Speaker 12: might as well get both of them to be able
Speaker 12: to put them in the case our frame with the jersey,
Speaker 12: with the jersey to as well.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 6: Uh So, I'm looking back at some of your history here,
Speaker 6: and you know, you're last year in college, you're an
Speaker 6: All American, you led the led college football and I
Speaker 6: believe interceptions and passes defended, and then you end up
Speaker 6: as an undrafted free agent?
Speaker 2: Who signed you with the Steelers? Why didn't you get drafted?
Speaker 13: Man?
Speaker 2: I wish you know, I wish I had the answer
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 10: I don't know if it was, you know, the the
Speaker 10: amount of time or whatever did I spend in college,
Speaker 10: But you know, I'm quite sure a lot of a lot.
Speaker 11: Of teams look back on it and you know and
Speaker 11: think maybe we should have, you know, took a chance
Speaker 11: on them.
Speaker 10: But you know, I'm break from opportunity with the Steelers,
Speaker 10: and you know I'm making the most of it.
Speaker 1: You know, the Steelers, I looked this up. They gave
Speaker 1: you a twenty five thousand dollars signing bonus, which is
Speaker 1: pretty good money for an undrafted rookie here. But that
Speaker 1: can be a feeding frendsy, right Your agent Adisa probably
Speaker 1: is getting calls from every team and the late stages,
Speaker 1: rounds five, six, seven, like, how did you end up
Speaker 1: with the Steelers?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 11: Crazy story is?
Speaker 5: You know, I watched this.
Speaker 10: I watched this at the draft obviously, you know, and
Speaker 10: I was having to get together and whatnot, you know,
Speaker 10: thinking that I'm gonna go like you know, late rounds
Speaker 10: or whatever. And you know, after the Steelers last pick
Speaker 10: was up, you know, I cut it off. You know,
Speaker 10: the phone was going dead. Just left my phone in
Speaker 10: the house. I came went back into the house after
Speaker 10: it was over, had a whole bunch of missed calls
Speaker 10: from my agents, takes call from coach Tomlin and stuff
Speaker 10: like that.
Speaker 11: So that's kind of how I knew.
Speaker 6: Wow, well you can now that you see him in
Speaker 6: person every day, you can apologize for missing his call.
Speaker 6: That's why I make sure, even when I'm plugging my
Speaker 6: phone in, you never let it leave your side.
Speaker 2: You never know what calls you could mess. So, okay,
Speaker 2: so you agree to come to the Steelers.
Speaker 6: You you go through the spring, and you get to
Speaker 6: training camp, and at some point you must have realized like, Okay,
Speaker 6: obviously I'm undrafted, but I may end up as a starter,
Speaker 6: like a big player, or maybe even a starter. Do
Speaker 6: you remember what that realization was like when you're like,
Speaker 6: all right, even though I wasn't even drafted, like I
Speaker 6: could get real playing time.
Speaker 10: You know, that was part of the you know, part
Speaker 10: of the decision making process too, of you know, me,
Speaker 10: me coming to the Steelers just because the void at
Speaker 10: the nickel position and just knowing that I would have
Speaker 10: an opportunity, you know, at least a try at the
Speaker 10: nickel spot and whatnot, and being able to make plays
Speaker 10: on special teams and Ricky Beannie Camp and and OTAs
Speaker 10: you know, I felt that I made a kind of
Speaker 10: a big stamp.
Speaker 11: On, you know, my play and a big impression on
Speaker 11: the coaches.
Speaker 1: So we talked about Aaron Rodgers, four time NFL MVP,
Speaker 1: he's won a Super Bowl. You're also playing with a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winner now in Russell Wilson. That was his
Speaker 1: first start for the Pittsburgh Steelers without you and those
Speaker 1: two picks. I don't know that he gets to win
Speaker 1: in that first game as a starter. What's it like
Speaker 1: playing with Russ and also just knowing his personality, like
Speaker 1: did he say anything to you during or after the game?
Speaker 10: You know, Coach r actually came up to me after
Speaker 10: the first one, you know, we got points, and then
Speaker 10: the after the second one, you know, he's like, man,
Speaker 10: you got to assist on the night.
Speaker 5: So you know, they just you know, kind of.
Speaker 10: Playing complimentary football, and that was the biggest thing. And
Speaker 10: you know, Russ, me and him talk a little bit.
Speaker 11: You know, He's always like, man, come on, like we
Speaker 11: count on you and things like that.
Speaker 10: So, you know, just trying to keep my confidence and
Speaker 10: stuff like that up and making sure you know that
Speaker 10: I'm always in tune of stuff that's going on.
Speaker 11: Like even when Russ wasn't playing, you know, he was
Speaker 11: with sit in on some of the meetings, and you know,
Speaker 11: especially when we played the Broncos and you know, giving
Speaker 11: us tips and things like that.
Speaker 6: It's always always helpful to have that that extra voice.
Speaker 6: You got a ton of extra voices on that defense.
Speaker 6: I mean, that is a star study of defense from Menka.
Speaker 2: Who's back there with you?
Speaker 1: TJ.
Speaker 6: High Smith, what's the biggest lesson or takeaway you've gotten
Speaker 6: from some of the stars who helped make this defense
Speaker 6: one of the best in the NFL.
Speaker 11: The way did they prepare, you know, the way did
Speaker 11: they take care of their bodies?
Speaker 10: You know, And like when I first got to Pittsburgh,
Speaker 10: I'm like, man, I'm going to I'm on a team
Speaker 10: with you know, Russ justin, TDJ, Mika Cam like all
Speaker 10: of those guys, and I'm just like, man, I get
Speaker 10: to I get to be in the room with Mika,
Speaker 10: you know, DJ, Deshaun.
Speaker 5: CAZy and all of those guys, and I just and
Speaker 5: I just look, not really trying to.
Speaker 10: Get on their nerves or anything, but just look at
Speaker 10: the way that they prepare, you know. I asked Mika, like,
Speaker 10: how do you study film things like that? And just
Speaker 10: watch watch those guys take care of their body. Be
Speaker 10: one of the last people out of the building. One
Speaker 10: of the first people in and things like that, and
Speaker 10: just try to, you know, try to take some of
Speaker 10: those things to you know, hopefully have a long NFL career.
Speaker 1: Last thing for you, real quick, Beani before we let
Speaker 1: you go in. Know, a lot of times guys get
Speaker 1: nicknames as kids when they're really young, and they just
Speaker 1: kind of stick forever. You're coming off a two interception
Speaker 1: game against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. Are you still
Speaker 1: cool being Beanie for the rest of your career, because
Speaker 1: right now would be a good time if you want
Speaker 1: to go back to Shannon.
Speaker 10: Nah, Yeah, I'm cool. I'm cool with Beanie on Really
Speaker 10: I can't really you know, stick saying it for real.
Speaker 10: You know, my mom only calls me that when she's
Speaker 10: mad and things like that, So I'll stick with Beanie.
Speaker 1: Well, don't get Mike Tomlin calling you that too. Just
Speaker 1: keep up getting the picks. Everything's gonna be good, Beanie, Bishop,
Speaker 1: thanks a lot for being here, Man.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thanks man.
Speaker 1: Steelers wrap up Week eight against the Giants on Monday
Speaker 1: night Lursday Night Football. Vikings rams two big boosts for
Speaker 1: La not just Cooper, cup of Pooka Nakua also back
Speaker 1: in the lineup. Matthew Stafford benefited. How about the escape
Speaker 1: right here, he's high step and he's finding Cup in
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. That's going to tie
Speaker 1: up that game fourteen. All a wild start to it.
Speaker 1: Then the defense is kind of kicked in third quarter.
Speaker 1: Now Matthew Stafford once again going deep. This time it's
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson for a twenty five yard touchdown. First Rams
Speaker 1: lead at twenty one seventeen. Late fourth quarter, Vikings down
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty. It's their last gasp. Sam Darnald cannot
Speaker 1: find anyone taking down by Byron Young. And if it
Speaker 1: looks like this was a scene out of The Exorcist,
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. Taking another look, he tried to take
Speaker 1: Donald's head with him, holds his own head, going, I
Speaker 1: guess blew it. I got a penalty. Nope, they didn't
Speaker 1: see it. Justin. Jefferson's not happy about that. Vikings lose
Speaker 1: their second straight while the Rams improved a three and
Speaker 1: four in the thick of the NFC West. Another big
Speaker 1: loss two for the Vikings in that game left tackle
Speaker 1: Christian Darrisaw suffering a season ending knee injury. Coach Kevin
Speaker 1: O'Connell said, it is an ACL and mcl injury. They're
Speaker 1: going to be looking at a variety of different in
Speaker 1: house options. You want to anticipate looking in the trade
Speaker 1: market as well to replace one of the most important
Speaker 1: players on their team. Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pelaso,
Speaker 1: now join by Brian Baldinger. Baldy, you watched that game
Speaker 1: last night, Felling a really important one, especially on the
Speaker 1: Rams side. What were your biggest takeaways?
Speaker 14: Just a play of the Rams offensive line And I know,
Speaker 14: I know, in this show, Tom, we don't spend all
Speaker 14: the time talking about assistant coaches, but you got to
Speaker 14: shout out to Ryan Wendella, the head offensive line coach
Speaker 14: of the Rams. And he's got two rookies in there,
Speaker 14: number sixty seven right there justin Diditch, you know, starting
Speaker 14: his third game, a rookie free agent at a usc BO.
Speaker 5: Lima right there in the middle, starting at center.
Speaker 14: Two rookies in their starting and they protected Matt Stafford
Speaker 14: better than they had all year. They do not give
Speaker 14: up with sack to the Minnesota Vike. Kyron Williams ran
Speaker 14: for ninety seven yards. It was almost a flawless performance.
Speaker 14: And how they they played together too, it was Individually
Speaker 14: they played very well and this is a very tricky
Speaker 14: defense with a lot of blitzes. The team that blitzes
Speaker 14: the most in the NFL, they were excellent. This little
Speaker 14: pick on the outside to Kyron you go for seventeen yards.
Speaker 14: I mean, that's just a nice job of just moving
Speaker 14: the backside scoop right there and really cutting that Viking
Speaker 14: defense off.
Speaker 5: So my biggest takeaway was just the play of the line.
Speaker 14: If they play like that and you get Ryan Windell
Speaker 14: or or you look at you know, Kyron Williams running
Speaker 14: like that, and you get Matt Stafford protected to be
Speaker 14: able to throw to Nikoua and too Cooper and whatnot,
Speaker 14: this could be a dangerous, dangerous offense on the second
Speaker 14: half of the season.
Speaker 1: Love a good Ryan Wendell. Shout out the former Patriots
Speaker 1: center now the Rams offensive line coach. Is still one
Speaker 1: of the best beards in the business, baldis you very much?
Speaker 1: Mike right, you heard of the Costanza.
Speaker 7: This is the Worfs Tripston Worfs here posing with the
Speaker 7: with the wired phone is at a rotary phone. I
Speaker 7: can't really see one of the ones that you had died.
Speaker 7: I have one of those till probably like nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 7: What's up, dad?
Speaker 5: Uh Yeah?
Speaker 7: Anyway, the Creamsicles aren't back this Sunday for the divisional game,
Speaker 7: a huge divisional game because the Bucks can't afford to
Speaker 7: lose another one to the Falcons. Here, Jane Slater is
Speaker 7: going to be there. She'll have everything for you game
Speaker 7: day morning on Sunday. But you know what, we're gonna
Speaker 7: get a little snippet of it right now with Jane
Speaker 7: talking about the Buccaneers and I know, both of those
Speaker 7: wide receiver injuries Chris Godwin Mike Evans led a lot
Speaker 7: of people to say, well, the Bucks are done now.
Speaker 7: I expect this team to come out and to play
Speaker 7: hard for Todd Bowles. But the question is how do
Speaker 7: you then move on from these two wide receiver injuries.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Mike, don't count these guys out on this roster.
Speaker 15: I mean it starts really with their quarterback. You talk
Speaker 15: to a lot of these guys in the team. In fact,
Speaker 15: it was Raheem Morris who kind of had the quote
Speaker 15: for me of the day when he said, he's just
Speaker 15: the guy that's out there with the effet mentality, he's
Speaker 15: fearless and he's gone about to be fearless when he's
Speaker 15: throwing to some of his young wide receivers. One he
Speaker 15: knows very well in Sterling Shepherd, but you've also got
Speaker 15: Trey McMillan that you can throw to. And so when
Speaker 15: I was talking to Sterling Shepherd about some of that today,
Speaker 15: even though their OC was talking about, look, we're going
Speaker 15: to have to get creative, but what that looks like exactly,
Speaker 15: they're still trying to formulate. But Shephard, when I asked
Speaker 15: him about the challenge of it, he was pretty matter
Speaker 15: of fact. He said, you know, he's been playing this
Speaker 15: game since he was a little kid, and he's got
Speaker 15: a certain way of doing things and he sticks to
Speaker 15: that weekend and week out, no matter the situation. He says,
Speaker 15: he's focused on doing his job the way that he's
Speaker 15: got to do it every week. But he did say
Speaker 15: there is one underreported role for the wide receivers this week,
Speaker 15: and that's Look, we have seen this running backs room
Speaker 15: really start to step up, but they're going to need
Speaker 15: the wide receivers to make those second level blocks.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 15: When they're able to do that, you can make these
Speaker 15: big runs turn into house. So they're really going to
Speaker 15: not only lean on the wide receivers, but really hope
Speaker 15: to get that running game and take some of the
Speaker 15: pressure off of Baker and these receivers.
Speaker 7: Bucky Irving, the Buccaneers running back listed as questionable, but
Speaker 7: I believe I saw Todd Bowles.
Speaker 1: Say that he thought he was going to play in
Speaker 1: this game. I don't know.
Speaker 7: It's been a lot of stuff flying today, a lot
Speaker 7: of guys listed as questionable. So again, we'll have that
Speaker 7: news for you firmly on Sunday morning with Jane on
Speaker 7: Game day morning. Meanwhile, on the other side of this matchup,
Speaker 7: we just talked about the wide receivers for the Bucks.
Speaker 7: How about one of them for the Falcons, Drake London,
Speaker 7: who's having himself a heck of a year so far.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he is having a big year and he's beginning
Speaker 15: to sort of pop off here. And so that's why
Speaker 15: I talked to Bucks cornerback Zion McCollum about that, and
Speaker 15: he said they came into the league together, and he
Speaker 15: says he's a big.
Speaker 1: Reliable guy for the Bucks.
Speaker 15: But he says what's interesting about him is most big
Speaker 15: guys like him, they're typically X receivers, But he moves
Speaker 15: from X to Z to S and he's also there
Speaker 15: in the run game.
Speaker 1: He says.
Speaker 15: The big thing for him this week is the film study.
Speaker 15: He says, the one disadvantag playing all over the place
Speaker 15: is he's limited in what he can do in each spot.
Speaker 15: So as an example, he said, when he's inside it slot,
Speaker 15: he's only doing one of two things. If he's tied
Speaker 15: to the core, it's probably a run play. So the
Speaker 15: key is that film study. The key is understanding where
Speaker 15: he is because that'll give you a sense of the
Speaker 15: play call.
Speaker 1: But look, you don't even have to worry about just him.
Speaker 15: I mean, you've got Kyle, You've got Kyle Pitts, You've
Speaker 15: got Beejean Robinson, so they certainly have some weapons. And
Speaker 15: when you want to talk about enthusiasm for the quarterback,
Speaker 15: just the whole vibe around that locker room has changed
Speaker 15: with Kirk Cousins and just the energy that you get
Speaker 15: from Raheem Morris. So that's why this game is going
Speaker 15: to be so exciting to watch because, as you put
Speaker 15: up week five that Falcons walked away with the win.
Speaker 15: The Bucks need this one because this could have tie
Speaker 15: breaking implications as we get closer to the postseason.
Speaker 7: Creamsickles home game, and the fact that they've got this
Speaker 7: home game after loss by the Way, and they've got
Speaker 7: the knowledge that if they lose this game, it's going
Speaker 7: to be a really tough climb to get back into it.
Speaker 1: In the ENFL s South again.
Speaker 7: I expect a uh spirited performance from the Buccaneers and
Speaker 7: the Falcon's gonna be a great game, James later, gonna
Speaker 7: have you ready for that one that I mentioned.
Speaker 1: She's there for game day morning on Sunday.
Speaker 5: She is.
Speaker 1: Jane, gotta pack, gonna get ready to play tomorrow. Thank you, Jane, buddy.
Speaker 1: What's the matter?
Speaker 2: I'm done?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 10: What?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 13: Everything?
Speaker 1: All my players are getting hurt and they're like some.
Speaker 5: Of the best ones.
Speaker 1: Who's hurt now?
Speaker 5: Grice Dodwin's hurt you now?
Speaker 15: Celiambs in the I mean Deebo Samuels in the hospital.
Speaker 4: And c J.
Speaker 2: Gow can't do anything.
Speaker 1: CJ.
Speaker 16: Shroud's sucking right now. Courtland, Hey, you gotta look at
Speaker 16: the waiver wire and keep it moving.
Speaker 1: That's all you can do.
Speaker 2: You know what I'd like to do.
Speaker 6: I'd like to repair and replace that dad's phone for
Speaker 6: filming his son crying about fantasy football. Deebo Samuel is
Speaker 6: a good guy. He's letting him know he's Okay, I
Speaker 6: am not as good a guy. Don't film your son
Speaker 6: crying about fantasy foot well. You know why, because he's
Speaker 6: going to grow up and at some point he's gonna
Speaker 6: see that it's not worth the clicks and it's not
Speaker 6: worth the clout.
Speaker 1: Rank.
Speaker 2: No, I'm with you, welcome in.
Speaker 14: I'm with you.
Speaker 9: I I sit there and I can't listen. I have
Speaker 9: kids in our angel fans. They have meltdowns all the time.
Speaker 9: You've never seen me put that on the air.
Speaker 5: I never do that.
Speaker 6: You're right anyway. Time for Repair and Replace, presented by
Speaker 6: safe Light. Here's the game we're gonna play. I'm going
Speaker 6: to tell you who needs to be repaired, and then
Speaker 6: you are gonna tell me who you replace them with.
Speaker 2: Thank you Safelight for presenting this one. Uh okay.
Speaker 6: We will start with the injuries at receiver. We had
Speaker 6: Mike Evans, we had Chris Godwin, we had Brandon Aiyuk.
Speaker 2: All those guys need to be repaired. Who we replacing
Speaker 2: him with? Rank?
Speaker 9: First of all, I got to sing the jingle safe
Speaker 9: Life replayer, Safe Life replace.
Speaker 1: Listen, here's the thing. Yeah, we talked about.
Speaker 9: Jane was talking about guys like Jayalen McMillan who might
Speaker 9: already be going off your waiver wire, but there might
Speaker 9: be an option that's on your bench. Let's talk about
Speaker 9: Jayleen Wattle, who is now a fully functional NFL player again.
Speaker 9: Now Tua Tongue Ioloa is going to return to the
Speaker 9: starting lineup for the Miami Dolphins. We've seen how good
Speaker 9: Jalen Waddle could be when Tua is the quarterback. He
Speaker 9: averages over fifteen fantasy points per game. He's a touchdown machine.
Speaker 9: But without Tua, oh, he's as bad as that father
Speaker 9: filming his son in the car going for clicks, going
Speaker 9: for clout. But there's a couple other guys you can
Speaker 9: go for as well. Centric Killman is a player that
Speaker 9: I really like. He jumped off the film. When you
Speaker 9: went back and watched this Cleveland Browns game. I'm really
Speaker 9: interested to see what they're going to do this week
Speaker 9: against the Baltimore Ravens. Typically, when you see the Ravens
Speaker 9: facing one of your fantasy people, you're like, oh, no,
Speaker 9: I can't start them against the raven Oh. But the
Speaker 9: matchup the matchup on your app is in green because
Speaker 9: the Ravens give up a ton of production to the
Speaker 9: wide receiver position. So we love Cedric Tillman this week.
Speaker 9: And if Deebo Samuel cannot go in this one, this
Speaker 9: is why I'm picking up Ricky Piersoll in the spots
Speaker 9: where I have Debo and I want to wait till
Speaker 9: five o'clock West Coast time to figure out if Debo
Speaker 9: is going to be able to play or not. I
Speaker 9: have Ricky Pearson in there, so if we find out
Speaker 9: that Debo is a late inactive, I make the quick switch.
Speaker 9: If not, we're going to start Debo and we're all
Speaker 9: going to.
Speaker 1: Go home happy.
Speaker 9: Unlike that father who is tormenting his son.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you us, I got a bone to pick
Speaker 2: with the kid too. He's killing CJ.
Speaker 6: Stroud from one bad performance one of the best shows
Speaker 6: as we performed for your fantasy team. Enough now, anyway, today,
Speaker 6: we'll stick with that you're the worst. Anyway, Let's say
Speaker 6: we do have to replace a quarterback.
Speaker 2: Who are we going with?
Speaker 9: Well, I think the biggest issue for a lot of people,
Speaker 9: and you guys talked about it earlier in the show
Speaker 9: is Jaden Daniels because you know, I know, you know,
Speaker 9: Ian just tell us spill it spill Is he playing
Speaker 9: or not? But even if you I don't know if
Speaker 9: this is all right, if this is something that's gonna
Speaker 9: go down to the wire, I'm gonna say pick up
Speaker 9: bow Nicks for the very same reasons we were talking
Speaker 9: about with Ricky Piersoll. This is a four to twenty
Speaker 9: five game. If you want to sit here and go
Speaker 9: through the morning games and be like Jayden Daniels is
Speaker 9: a good enough player, you're gonna wait. Bo Nix is
Speaker 9: somebody who plays in that late window who's likely available
Speaker 9: on your waiver wire. He has been a tremendous fantasy
Speaker 9: asset over the last couple of weeks. The biggest reason
Speaker 9: why is his ability to run the football. That's why
Speaker 9: in a game where they're going up against the Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 9: you might fear a blowout or something like that. The
Speaker 9: floor of his rushing ability, I think gives you about
Speaker 9: four to five points right there. That's why I will
Speaker 9: have him ready to go just in case I need him,
Speaker 9: in case I need to safe life replayer, safe life replace.
Speaker 2: You know, I can't believe they have someone doing the
Speaker 2: jingle for that commercial.
Speaker 6: When you've been available this whole time, this whole time, rank,
Speaker 6: thank you very much for joining us, Thanks for your
Speaker 6: singing to I guess I don't know. Anyway, We got
Speaker 6: a lot more common at including the Detroit Lions obviously
Speaker 6: faced the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: This week.
Speaker 2: We'll see who the Lions have out there. A receiver.
Speaker 2: Our good friend Stacy Deals is gonna break it all
Speaker 2: down for us coming up next on The Insiders.
Speaker 13: I listen man, to say that I'm proud of you,
Speaker 13: it would be the massive understatement. That's some way to
Speaker 13: come in here. Everything we talked about, from the time
Speaker 13: we get the halftime to the way we had to
Speaker 13: finish it out man, composure, right, communication, latitude, patience, patience.
Speaker 13: My god, man, you guys didn't bat an eye. I
Speaker 13: love this freaking team. I love the coaches, I love
Speaker 13: the players. I love everything about it.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 5: We are so freaking hardened.
Speaker 13: Even when she doesn't go the way we want it to,
Speaker 13: maybe find a way that as an outstanding we are
Speaker 13: one to zero in the division.
Speaker 5: Gentlemen, that's one break it.
Speaker 1: Down, big boy win there. The vision went on the road,
Speaker 1: Keep it going.
Speaker 17: Win.
Speaker 1: The Lions are rolling right now. Big win last week
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. Now they take on the Titans. Our Stacey
Speaker 1: Dales will be covering that game first. She's with me
Speaker 1: Tom Pellisero here on the Insiders, Stacey. The Lions offense
Speaker 1: is so fun to watch Ben Johnson scenes. They come
Speaker 1: up with things every week that we've never seen before.
Speaker 1: How do they keep that thing rolling?
Speaker 17: Well, they keep it rolling a TP with great continuity
Speaker 17: and a relationship between Ben Johnson and the OC and
Speaker 17: the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Jared Goff.
Speaker 17: You saw what happened in Minnesota this past weekend. Great
Speaker 17: complimentary football. And by the way, the Minnesota Vikings are
Speaker 17: a pretty good team too. But the Detroit Lions are
Speaker 17: currently the number one seed in the NFC and they're
Speaker 17: looking to continue that trend this weekend against a one
Speaker 17: in five Tennessee squad. Jared Goff, though, when you talk
Speaker 17: to Dan Campbell, and you talked to Ben Johnson and
Speaker 17: Jamior Gibbs, players like him that I spoke to this week,
Speaker 17: surprised in the least bit. He is a technician, simply
Speaker 17: put at the quarterback position over these last three games,
Speaker 17: a one fifty three passer rating for him seven touchdowns,
Speaker 17: no picks, Tom and really, when you look at this offense,
Speaker 17: I mean they have weapons, Schoore. We're not going to
Speaker 17: see Jamis Williams obviously with the two game suspension, but
Speaker 17: they feel really confident.
Speaker 1: With the group that they have.
Speaker 17: Best quote though from Dan Campbell quote, when it's crunch time,
Speaker 17: the heart rate just levels out when it comes to
Speaker 17: Jared Goff loved that he said that this week.
Speaker 1: Whereas Dan Campbell's heart rate always somewhere right about here,
Speaker 1: it's the seven espressos that he has every morning. Titans
Speaker 1: will not have DeAndre Hopkins, will not have Ernest Jones.
Speaker 1: They traded away one of the most important players on
Speaker 1: offense and defense this week. They're one in five. They're
Speaker 1: probably starting to backup quarterback. How do the Lions avoid
Speaker 1: kind of the inevitable emotional letdown here?
Speaker 17: Yeah, TP They respect them defensively, in particular, we'll see
Speaker 17: if will loves plays. But defensively, this Titans group under
Speaker 17: Dinar Wilson, their defensive coordinator, is the number one total
Speaker 17: defense when it comes to yards allowed in the National
Speaker 17: Football League, and by the way, they're top ten in
Speaker 17: shutting down both the run and the pass, their fifth
Speaker 17: in terms of getting off the field on third downs,
Speaker 17: and those are the things the Lions are preparing for.
Speaker 17: They do a variety of things as we've seen up
Speaker 17: front in terms of different looks and the way they
Speaker 17: bring pressure, and then they just take on as I
Speaker 17: spoke with Roger McCreary, their nickel corner this week, they
Speaker 17: just take on the mindset of Denard Wilson, which is
Speaker 17: aggressive and it's very physical and they're not going to
Speaker 17: hold anything back.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 17: We have to learn how to finish, and that is
Speaker 17: something that has plagued this Tennessee group this season. But
Speaker 17: this is a really good defense. The Lions know it.
Speaker 17: In fact, Dan Campbell said it's one of the best
Speaker 17: units they'll have faced through eight weeks this season. And
Speaker 17: certainly though Jared goffin company are very confident, as you know, Tom,
Speaker 17: and they'll be prepared because that's what Ben Johnson does.
Speaker 17: He gets them ready to go.
Speaker 2: As Jumior Goo told me.
Speaker 1: Stacey, thank you very much. I will see you on
Speaker 1: game day morning on Sunday morning.
Speaker 7: The tail of the tape right here for the number
Speaker 7: one and number two overall draft picks as it stands,
Speaker 7: right now, we're looking forward to seeing these two go
Speaker 7: up against each other on Sunday. We shall see if
Speaker 7: Jaden Daniels can make it. He is questionable with that
Speaker 7: rib injury, so it's going to be determined by how
Speaker 7: much he can do, whether he can protect himself, all
Speaker 7: that good stuff.
Speaker 1: As we get closer to Sunday.
Speaker 7: And find out whether it's him or Marcus Mariota going
Speaker 7: up against Kayleb Williams and the Bears four to twenty five.
Speaker 7: This game got flexed because of that quarterback matchup that
Speaker 7: we might not see. Brian Boldinger here, Adam rank back
Speaker 7: for more. Baldy, I want to start with you on
Speaker 7: Jayden Daniels and what you've seen from him over the
Speaker 7: first quarter plus of the season.
Speaker 14: Well, my I mean, what do you start? I mean,
Speaker 14: it starts with their number one scoring offense in football.
Speaker 14: Jayden leaves that they've scored thirty four more points and
Speaker 14: for the last five games, he's you know, number one
Speaker 14: in complete some percentage just under seventy six percent. Just
Speaker 14: looking last week. I mean they started the game last
Speaker 14: week by running eight straight different run plays from eight
Speaker 14: different formations, eight different ways to run it and he's
Speaker 14: got to orchestrate all of it. And so when you
Speaker 14: watch him, I mean he's just very efficient at making
Speaker 14: decisions thrown with touch passes as one and Terry McLaurin
Speaker 14: right there, and I think him and Cliff Kingsbury the
Speaker 14: offensive coordinator, have just been really in simpatico from day
Speaker 14: one on what Cliff wants, how you execute it, where
Speaker 14: you're throwing to, you know, a backup offensive lineman there
Speaker 14: for a touchdown. I mean, they give you a lot
Speaker 14: to look out. This is not a simple offense. There's
Speaker 14: a lot of formations, there's a lot of motions. He's
Speaker 14: in charge of all of that.
Speaker 5: And here they are, you know, in first place the
Speaker 5: NFC easton, the number one scoring offense and all of that.
Speaker 14: And so I just think that and you combine that
Speaker 14: with their ability to run the football right now, the
Speaker 14: number two rushing offensive football and he's a big part
Speaker 14: of it. If he was just a he'd be the
Speaker 14: twenty first leading rusher in the NFL, averaging you know,
Speaker 14: five and a half yards and carry on them. So
Speaker 14: you can just gush and gush and gush, and it's
Speaker 14: all legitimate. It's not hyperberly. This guy has really hit
Speaker 14: the ground running at a high level.
Speaker 7: But one of the questions, in addition to all the
Speaker 7: functional stuff that I talked about, the commanders are going
Speaker 7: to have to answer is do we want to run
Speaker 7: them out there having gotten few reps this week in practice,
Speaker 7: going up against a tough defense here.
Speaker 1: So all these.
Speaker 7: Evaluations and answers are going to come in the next
Speaker 7: forty eight hours a little less than that.
Speaker 1: So we'll have the answers for you when we get them.
Speaker 7: Adam Rank always has the answers, and he knows a
Speaker 7: little something something about the Bears.
Speaker 1: So take your whack right here at Caleb Williams.
Speaker 7: And let the folks know what has impressed you most
Speaker 7: about the number one overall pick well.
Speaker 9: Similarly, Caleb Williams is asked to run an entire offense
Speaker 9: to make reads and checks on the offensive line to
Speaker 9: look over make reads. This play right here is not
Speaker 9: a play that you would see the Chicago Bears run
Speaker 9: in the past twenty years. It is really kind of
Speaker 9: like it's enlightening to watch an actual NFL offense being performed.
Speaker 9: Obviously that one was in London, but still by the
Speaker 9: Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: And as impressive.
Speaker 9: If Caleb Williams has been, we've everything that we've talked about,
Speaker 9: his arm talent, his ability to escape pressure, all those
Speaker 9: things we've seen on display. But a big reason why
Speaker 9: it has is because over the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 9: the Bears have really honed in on being a total offense.
Speaker 9: You know, the first two weeks were rough. There was
Speaker 9: a veteran council meeting. They talked about not like some
Speaker 9: players who are not involved as much, Cole Covet being
Speaker 9: one of them. And in addition to that, they started
Speaker 9: running the football. There's no surprise that this Bears offense
Speaker 9: started looking a lot better when DeAndre Swift started getting
Speaker 9: more involved. And over the last three games, DeAndre Swift
Speaker 9: has had over one hundred scrimmage yards in each one.
Speaker 1: Of those contests.
Speaker 9: So hattip not only to Caleb Williams for playing well,
Speaker 9: but to Shane Waldron for stepping up, making the adjustments
Speaker 9: and continuing to make that adjustment as the Bears offense evolves.
Speaker 5: Adam, I can see you've been studying your game film.
Speaker 5: I'm proud of it. You're seeing it right, you know.
Speaker 14: Look, I've known Caleb since he was at Gonzaga College
Speaker 14: High School, probably about ten miles away from Northwest Stadium
Speaker 14: right now.
Speaker 5: He was an advanced student.
Speaker 14: Coming out, and I thought I thought it was the
Speaker 14: Ram game, which is the first of this three game
Speaker 14: win streak, where he only threw for one hundred and
Speaker 14: fifty seven yards, but he really trusted the protection that day.
Speaker 5: He stayed in the pocket. There was a lot of
Speaker 5: short passes to.
Speaker 14: Roma Doomsay and Keenan and DJ, but he stayed in
Speaker 14: the pocket and he wasn't looking to make these splash plays,
Speaker 14: you know, like every once in a while you got
Speaker 14: to do those kind of things like he is right
Speaker 14: here against Jacksonville. But I thought that began the process
Speaker 14: of really looking at the field, processing the information. And
Speaker 14: then since then he's just taken off where he's thrown
Speaker 14: seven touchdowns against the one interception of his last three
Speaker 14: game win streak, and I would expect this process to
Speaker 14: really continue and the prom risk sick ken you with Caleb,
Speaker 14: because he's very conscientious. He texts his high quarterback coach
Speaker 14: after every game, Kerrie Joseph, just to look at the
Speaker 14: things that he didn't do well that he wants to
Speaker 14: improve on.
Speaker 5: For the following game. So I think this progress that
Speaker 5: we're seeing is going to continue.
Speaker 1: Homecoming for Caleb Williams is a couple of days away.
Speaker 7: We're going to find out again whether he is going
Speaker 7: to see Jayden Daniels on the same field. Brian Baldinger
Speaker 7: Adam ragged, thank you both for your quarterback breakdowns. I
Speaker 7: don't know if I could say that, it's like it's
Speaker 7: trademark that only applies to Baldy whatever I already said it.
Speaker 1: Anyway, last Insiders of the Week.
Speaker 7: We always end with good news and bad news, and
Speaker 7: some good news and some more bad. I'll explain coming up,
Speaker 7: is this guy good news or bad news?
Speaker 1: We'll let you know live for Munich the Giant square
Speaker 1: off against the Panthers on NFL Network, Rise, Shine and
Speaker 1: watch Sunday, November tenth, nine to thirty am Eastern only
Speaker 1: on NFL Network and NFL Plus. Subscriptions required for NFL Plus.
Speaker 1: It's Friday some time now for some good news bad news.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the good news for the Chiefs. DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: That's him where number eight in Kansas City. Andy Reid says, Yes,
Speaker 1: hop is going to make his Chiefs debut on Sunday
Speaker 1: Big AFC West game at Las Vegas that offset some
Speaker 1: of the bad news. Juju Smith Schuster as was the
Speaker 1: expectation officially ruled out for that game. Mike, you want
Speaker 1: the good news or the bad news first. Always take
Speaker 1: the bad news first. Well, you want the good news?
Speaker 7: Okay, fine, there it is hot sound Reddick expected to
Speaker 7: play for the Jets. Finally, you better get to work.
Speaker 7: He's got to get some sacks in his back pocket
Speaker 7: if he wants to start picking up some of these
Speaker 7: incentives and get him back to what he was supposed
Speaker 7: to make. All right, now, the bad news, DK metcalf
Speaker 7: dutful for Sunday, although Mike McDonald said that there's still
Speaker 7: a chance that he plays. I mean, yeah, but it
Speaker 7: should be less than twenty five percent. That's the point
Speaker 7: of doubtful. So don't think we'll see DK metcalf with that.
Speaker 6: Mcl spring and new Christian McCaffrey's not gonna play this weekend.
Speaker 2: That's not the good news. The good news is he
Speaker 2: has a very good chance to my knowledge of playing
Speaker 2: week ten. That's not next week.
Speaker 6: They got a game and then they gotta buy and
Speaker 6: then Christian McCaffrey could actually hit his target to being
Speaker 6: on the field November tenth for the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: And just to be clear, that quote on the screen
Speaker 1: very good chance is a quote from Ian that he
Speaker 1: just got to read again. Bad news, we don't have
Speaker 1: this show again until Tuesday. Good news, we'll see a
Speaker 1: Sunday morning
