1
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers have dealt with their share of

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: bad injury news lately, so how.

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: About some good brock is back.

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what Purdy's return means for a banged

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: up San Francisco team that is three and zero does

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: not have much breathing room in the NFC West. The

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Commanders will have to wait another week for the return

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: of their quarterback Jaydeon Daniels, and he's not.

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: The only Pro Bowl player who.

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: Will miss Sunday's game against the Falcons. We will tell

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: you what comes next for Washington, their QB and Terry mcclaurin.

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: They're now just two days away from the NFL's maiden

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: voyage to Ireland. Not the first time that Vikings have

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: raided the island. That was in seven ninety five av

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: The Steelers can only hope, you know, it goes a

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: little better for them. Welcome inside with the Insiders, presented

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: by Progressive Insurance alongside Mike Garatfola. So I am Tom Pelissero.

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: Week four on the NFL calendar is underway. We'll get

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: into that pretty wacky Cardinals Seahawks game from last night

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: in just a little bit.

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: Here. We've also got a chock full Sunday.

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: Slate that begins bright and early in Ireland right here

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: on NFL Network with the Vikings and the Steelers. And

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: we've had some developments on the injury front that also

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: were going to impact Sunday's games.

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: That's where we.

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: Begin with the forty nine Ers, who have QB one

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: back in business. Brock Purty missed the past two games,

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: had a left shoulder injury and more important, a toe

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: injury that had kept him off the field. But Mike

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: within the past couple of days, the tone kind of shifted.

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: Not a surprise today when Kyle Shanahan said, yes, indeed.

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: Brock Purty is good to go against the Jaguars. Yeah.

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: He was taking the reps as the number one quarterback

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: up during individual and team drills, So that was an

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: indication that early in the week they felt good about it.

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: He was listed as limited, but it was a slight

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: limitation and the understanding was that he was progressing through

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: practice feeling good enough to wind up being the starting

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: quarterback for this this week.

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: That one now official and for.

42
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: The forty nine Ers, fortunate because you've got Mac Jones

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: who is now listed as questionable for this game with

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: his knee issue. So it's like these quarterbacks are trading

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: injuries at just the right time right now, and the

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: forty nine ers now know they can rely upon mac

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 3: Jones to win some games for them, certainly for them

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: if they need him in spot duty. But this is

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, and that the means that the

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: injuries are not limited to like one or two guys.

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: There's a long list of them, certainly a key position.

52
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: So let's go down them here, because you've got two

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: wide receivers listed as questionable, Juwan Jennings and Ricky Pearson.

54
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: Now Pearsaul was limited the last couple of days.

55
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 3: Jennings returned to the field today, got one practice in

56
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: a limited capacity, so not great but not terrible. And

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: peersol has been spectacular so far for the forty nine

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: ers with Brandon Ayuk Lord knows when he's coming back,

59
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: John Lynch saying today that it's going to be quite

60
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: some time before he comes back.

61
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: It's also gonna be some time before Nick Bosa comes back.

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: He did have surgery that from every understanding went well.

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: I think Kyle Shannon even said that he was told

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: that it went well. So that's good for the long haults,

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 3: is not gonna help the forty nine ers in the

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five seasons. So Nick Bosa on the road

67
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 3: to recovery and all of this is coming because it's

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: week four and week six is not here yet.

69
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: What is week six means?

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: That's when George Kittle can return, So he is still

71
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: out of action for the forty nine ers, So a

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: lot for them to overcome here in a game against

73
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: the Jaguars.

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: Somehow winning games, and.

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: If they can win this one and stay on the

76
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: winning side, it's that much more impressive considering what they

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: were dealing with from an injury standpoint.

78
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: All that against the backdrop of a very competitive NFC West,

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: which we saw the Seahawks advanced.

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: The three and one last night. The Rams are hanging

81
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: there as well.

82
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: The Cardinals lost two games on the last second field goals.

83
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Here more on the Thursday night game in just a

84
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: little bit, but let's go to the NFC East, where

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: the Commanders once again are gonna be without their quarterback.

86
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels dealing with a knee spring.

87
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday when

88
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't out there at the start of practice today.

89
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: That made pretty clear this wasn't going in the right direction.

90
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: This is a medical decision. Daniels wants to play. They're

91
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: airing on the side of caution here. Certainly possibility open

92
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: that Daniels could be back as soon as week five.

93
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: For now, it's gonna be Marcus Mariota going up against

94
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: his old team again.

95
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: Mariota helped the.

96
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: Commanders gonna win last week against the Raiders this Sunday,

97
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: now we'll go up against the Falcons who he started

98
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: for before being bench for Desmond Ritter and then leaving

99
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: the club, which didn't necessarily go over well based upon

100
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the team's public stavens. Mariota played at a pretty high level,

101
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: but now he's got to do it this coming week

102
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: without Terry McLaurin, who suffered they're calling it a quad injury.

103
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: Is at the quad, the growing the core, the hip flexer.

104
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: He's undergone a bunch of different tests, he's seen specialists.

105
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn said at this point, there Sarry McLaurin week

106
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: to week. Not sound like an injured reserve situation that

107
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: would take him off the field four to four games,

108
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: but no guarantee.

109
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: McLaurin is even back next week.

110
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Something big here, Mike, to keep an eye on for

111
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: Washington team when they went through Campadel McLaurin because he

112
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: was going through a contract situation.

113
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: That offense had a lot of rough days.

114
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: We are just what forty seven hours or not forties

115
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: and forty one hours away from Jackson Dart making his

116
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: debut for the New York Giants, named starter the other day,

117
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: the rookie first round pick that the team traded up

118
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: to get that Brian Dabo fell in love with during

119
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: the draft process. Now getting out there in not a

120
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 3: limited capacity like he's been for the first three weeks,

121
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: a full go, not just this week, before the.

122
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: Rest of the season.

123
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart now the guy charged with bringing some life

124
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: to this Giant season in this Giants offense. He did

125
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: that in the preseason, he did it in training camp,

126
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: he did it in practices during the regular season. Now

127
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: let's see him take it to the field while Russell Wilson,

128
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: you see right there, gonna serve as the number two

129
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: core with Jamis Winston remaining as the three. Not a

130
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: bad backup to have. But you know, Russ, and Russ

131
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: certainly said this week. He feels like he still got

132
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: some good football left. It won't be with the Giants.

133
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: I mean, this is something maybe we'll watch as we

134
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: get closer to the trading deadline or what not. So

135
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: Jackson Dark gonna be charged with finding Malik Neighbors. Yeah,

136
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: I would look for number one if I was out

137
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: there playing quarterback for the New York Giants. Neighbors not

138
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: on the injury report after being limited in practice, missed

139
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: a practice earlier the week as well with a shoulder injury.

140
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: He's had back, hip, shoulder. Milik Daghbors a pretty tough guy.

141
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: I remember talking to a Giants guy recently, Giants member

142
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: of the organization, who said, you guys don't give him

143
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: enough credit for how tough he is and what he

144
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: plays through, not just playing through it, but playing very

145
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: well through it.

146
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: And another ailment here in the shoulder that he's gonna

147
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: play through.

148
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: Tom.

149
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: The Chiefs did enough offensively against the Giants on Sunday

150
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: night to win a game against oh future offensive performance.

151
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: They got Russell Wilson bench, but help is on the way.

152
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy off the injury and good to go, set

153
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday in a huge game against the

154
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: fellow one to two Ravens for the first time since

155
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: taking that shot from Travis Kelcey back in the Week

156
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: one game in Brazil. Contrary to some of the things

157
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: that have been flowing around, there was not a setback.

158
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: This wasn't an injury that ended up being worse. But

159
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: you can see that harness that Worthy's worrying on his shoulder.

160
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: When you dislocate it or sublux it, I think can

161
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: pop in and out.

162
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: You're dealing with a tear in there.

163
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: It takes guys time sometimes to get use to wearing

164
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: that on the field. Obviously, Worthy has now gotten comfortable

165
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: he's good to go this week. The status of Rams

166
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver Devonte Adams remains clouded, meanwhile officially listed as questionable,

167
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: though coach Sean McVay said he's optimistic about the direction

168
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: that it is headed with the Vonte Adams now.

169
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: Potentially could that.

170
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: Mean that he is limited in terms of snaps against

171
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: the Colts.

172
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: Will find that out.

173
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: It may dependent part on how DeVante Adams is feeling

174
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: again trending upwards, but officially Adams listed as questionable on

175
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: the injury report. I mean, while we got a doubleheader

176
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: on Monday night, including the Jets paying a visit to

177
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. While nothing is official yet, it does seem

178
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: like Justin Fields is on track to play in that game.

179
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: Listen is a full participant in practice today for the

180
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: second consecutive day, still in the concussion proto call, but

181
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: once you get to practicing in full, you're on step

182
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: four of the five step return to play proto call.

183
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Barney satback and pending the clearance by an independent neurologist.

184
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: Again, it does appear the Fields.

185
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: Is on track to return to the starting lineup on

186
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: Monday night. That is the last game or one of

187
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: the last games of Week four. Let's get to the

188
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: first game of Week four, and it was a dandy

189
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and the road winning Seahawks eight and one

190
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: of their last nine road games, going up against Kyler

191
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: Murray who has lost a whole lot of games, seven in.

192
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: A row coming in to the Seahawks.

193
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: This isn't going to help Marvin Harrison Junior, who has

194
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: been going through it. Bobbles that one turns a ball

195
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: that is right on the numbers into an interception for

196
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: Ernest Jones who returns all the way to the forty

197
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: nine yard line. Take another look. That is not the

198
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: Marvin Arison Jior you draft in the top ten. It's

199
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: not the guy we saw at Ohio State. Little plot twist.

200
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: He got things back on track. Other end of the field.

201
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: Seahawks late second quarter, Zach Charbonay. Look at the effort

202
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: by Charles Cross to push him right into the end zone.

203
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: Seahawks up fourteen to three at the half. Let's jump

204
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: ahead to the fourth quarter. Now, Kyler Murray going for

205
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: you guessed it, Marvin Arison Junior. If you watch his

206
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: reaction to this touchdown, this is a thank you to

207
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: the man upstairs.

208
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: He needed this one.

209
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Play a lot better too. From that point forward in

210
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: the game, next Cardinals drive after a Seahawks missfield goal,

211
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: it's Kyler Murray too.

212
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: I Murray de Mercado underneath seven yard touchdown.

213
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the Cardinals team looks like they

214
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: were buried back into it. They tied up ensuing dynamic kickoff,

215
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: though this is less than dynamic. Chad Ryland. You got

216
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: to get the kick to the twenty yard line. It

217
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: comes up short of the landing zone. I mean Seattle

218
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: comes out to the forty yard and they only have

219
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight seconds. This helps them get into field goal position,

220
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: ensuing Seahawks drive. Now Sam Darnold to Jackson Smith and

221
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: Jig But it was a quiet night at times for

222
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: JSN unless you were a refereeing with a hot mic.

223
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: Then a little bit louder that gets them into seattlefield

224
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: goal range right there, four second left, Jason Myers chance

225
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: for redemption knocks it through just barely. Seahawks win twenty

226
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: three to twenty. Devin Witherspoon joined our bridge at Condon

227
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: after the game.

228
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 5: A lot of players I spoke with on your team

229
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: this week told me that they wanted to show the

230
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 5: world what you're capable of, saying they knew how good

231
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 5: this team was, but maybe not getting the national recognition.

232
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 5: What did you show out here that the Seattle Seahawks are.

233
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 4: I mean, you got to play us for four quarters.

234
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: I mean we just put it on tape.

235
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I they other teams ron Lee know what's

236
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 6: going on, especially on the defensive side of fall defense

237
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 6: side of the ball.

238
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: But we played team football over here. Man.

239
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 6: We don't singing nobody out We just come out here,

240
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 6: play hard, play physical, and you feel me We just

241
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 6: come out and play four quarters.

242
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 4: Together as a team. You know, we got to need

243
00:10:59,320 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: each other's.

244
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 6: Bat so when it's time to step up, the other

245
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 6: side got each other.

246
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: So that's how we do it.

247
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 6: Over here.

248
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Welcome in our Omar Ruiz to the conversation. Here, Omar,

249
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: this is a really talented Seahawks defense.

250
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: They play hard. They haven't had these guys.

251
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: They haven't had Devin Witherspoon in their previous game against Pittsburgh.

252
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: Treek Wolland was kind of up and down in that game.

253
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: But you can see what they're building. You can feel

254
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: it with the way that for most of that game

255
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: last night, it was pretty dominant.

256
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, coming in and out of the lineup. You mentioned

257
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 7: at Chenna Nuosa missed the first game of the season.

258
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 7: He's been back for a couple of weeks. You saw

259
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 7: how good he was with a couple of sacks and

260
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 7: coming into the game last night, they were fourth in

261
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 7: the league and scoring defense are the only team in

262
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 7: the league to not allow a rushing touchdown. Players after

263
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 7: the game, Mike McDonald just talk about how together these

264
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 7: guys are, how well and coordinated they rush as a

265
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 7: defensive line. Is how Leonard Williams put it there. You

266
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 7: see them swarming, not allowing first downs, really coordinating that

267
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 7: attack on Kyler Murray, those six sacks. I mentioned Nuosu,

268
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 7: who missed twenty two games in the past couple of years.

269
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: He's rounding in a form.

270
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 7: Saying he still has to get in shape and still

271
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 7: had those two sacks. Leonard Williams a sack and a half,

272
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 7: and they're forcing Kyler Murray. You mention it when you're

273
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 7: doing the highlights. Tom how he was just weaving those

274
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 7: balls into tight windows. And it came up with the interceptions.

275
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 7: When Marvin Harrison bobbled the ball. It wasn't just that

276
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 7: Marvin Harrison bobbled the ball, but there were four other

277
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 7: Seahawks around the football to come up with the interception.

278
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 7: Ernnes Jones came up with an interception as well, and

279
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 7: they were doing that all night longing Now, Mike McDonald

280
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 7: said after the today, as a matter of fact, in

281
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 7: that fourth quarter, letting those two touchdown drives, and they

282
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 7: could have done a better job putting them in positions

283
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 7: to make plays in the fourth quarter. Operationally, they'll study

284
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 7: the process of getting in and out play by play

285
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter but it's a lot easier to

286
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 7: make to clean up those mistakes, Mike, when you're three

287
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 7: and one than the alternative.

288
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, two and two is the alternative. Which poor Cardinals.

289
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: I mean, they've lost two close games and they're alone

290
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: in the last place by themselves in the West.

291
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: That's the margin.

292
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: It's how thin it is between first place and last

293
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: place in that division. The good news for them is

294
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: at least they found a little bit of chemistry between

295
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison or early in the game.

296
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it was hard to watch at times, particularly

297
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: with the ball that Harrison had in his hands lost

298
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: was picked off for an interception. You saw how relieved

299
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: he was to finally get into the airs of the

300
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: playoff talk about to finally get into the end zone.

301
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a year plus conversation that we've

302
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: been having about the Cardinals, which how do you not

303
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: get the ball into this guy's hands. Well, they finally

304
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: did it, and they did it in some key moments,

305
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: So at least they've got something to build on there

306
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: for their offense. Next week, they've got the Titans. They've

307
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 3: got a game at home, should be a winnable game

308
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 3: to get you back on the plus side of five hundred.

309
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 3: There are some tough games coming up, and there's gonna

310
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: be tough games within this division.

311
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: There's again not a lot of room for error.

312
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: You're even fighting with the teams in your division for

313
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: the wild card spots that are gonna be there as well.

314
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: It's not just a matter of catching whoever is going

315
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: to be in first place. Arizona's got to take as

316
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: much positivity out of this game as possible into this

317
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: extended mini little buy that you get after a Thursday game.

318
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 7: And I think just watching that game last night, we saw,

319
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 7: even though we knew it already, just how critical James

320
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 7: Connor has been to that offense, to that team, and

321
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 7: his absence was noticeable last night in that game versus

322
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 7: the Seahawks.

323
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: The NFL is headed to Dublin, Ireland, where it'll be

324
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers against a Vikings team that played better offensively

325
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: and defensively. Frankly, last week with Carson Wentz starting at quarterback.

326
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: You look at the number of points, the yards, everything

327
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: was better in a week where well, again things seemed

328
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: to go their direction in general. But for Carson Wentz,

329
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: this was the best game he had played statistically in

330
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: like four years. You got to go back to when

331
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: he was with the Colts to find the last time

332
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: that he had a comparable passer rating. This was a

333
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: really unique story for Carson Wentz, who grew up rooting

334
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. Gets a win, but now maybe a

335
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: little bit different task going over and taking on Aaron

336
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Steelers. The last time that Aaron Rodgers

337
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: was in Europe and facing a Brian Flores defense, it

338
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: did not go well.

339
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: That was last year with the Jets.

340
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: He went twenty nine to fifty four through three interceptions.

341
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: It is, quite frankly, the worst game I've ever seen

342
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers play. You saw the Jets sturing, you saw

343
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: the history onics, you saw two days later, Robert Sola

344
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: got fired and they swapped out the play caller and

345
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: made a bunch of other changes, and nothing got.

346
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: Better for that Jets team.

347
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers hoping for a little bit different outcome, a

348
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: little different future just two days from right now, that's

349
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: all that's left, Vikings and Steelers, Bright and early nine

350
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: to thirty am Eastern time on Sunday, right here on

351
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: NFL Network.

352
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: You know what has already been there all week. Are

353
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: Judy Batista in Dublin with the Steelers.

354
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 8: The Pittsburgh Steelers arrived in Dublin earlier this morning. They

355
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 8: very quickly got on the field for a light practice

356
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 8: when they did the suggestion of equipment manager Adam Reagan,

357
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 8: they were wearing jerseys with Irish names on the name plate.

358
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 9: Earlier this week, they got a bit of a.

359
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 8: History lesson from team owner Art Rooney, who apparently has

360
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 8: been walking around.

361
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 9: The facility carrying his hurling stick.

362
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 8: He talked to the team about the Rooney's deep ties

363
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 8: to Ireland and the historical importance of Croke Park, where

364
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 8: they will play on Sunday.

365
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 9: Cam Hayward called it sacred ground.

366
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 8: While on Sunday they will take to that ground to

367
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 8: face the Minnesota Vikings.

368
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 9: And one of the themes.

369
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 8: Of this week for the Pittsburgh Steelers is to get

370
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 8: more plays. So far this season, the average drive length

371
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 8: for the Steelers is just five plays, so they want

372
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 8: to get off the field on defense on third down

373
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 8: and stay on the field on offense on third down.

374
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 9: They feel that with more.

375
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 8: Plays will come more opportunities to open up the deep

376
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 8: passing attack that they have not been able to get

377
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 8: going yet this season.

378
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 9: We will see if they will be able.

379
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 8: To do it this Sunday against one of the league's

380
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 8: best defenses.

381
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: A battle of unbeaten Sunday in Tampa Eagles and Bucks.

382
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: There's a few injury questions on the Tampa report. Baker Mayfield,

383
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: officially listed as questionable, suffered a biceps injury last week,

384
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: kind of got his elbow hit of his knocker play,

385
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: stayed in the game, didn't take a ton of ups

386
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: th the course this week, but Todd Bowle said he

387
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: does expect Mayfield to play on Sunday. Even better news,

388
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: we could see the debut of not one, but two

389
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl caliber players for the Bucks this season. Wide

390
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: receiver Chris Godwin and left tackle Tristan Wurfs both listed

391
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: as questionable, but Bulls said they too are trending towards

392
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: play and that would obviously be a huge lift and

393
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Where the Bucks just lost Mike Evans, they

394
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: haven't had Jay McMillan, and for the offensive line that's

395
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: had all kinds of moving parts here, getting back one

396
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: of the best in the game would be huge, especially

397
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: when you're going up against some very huge men we've

398
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: got a little jump start on the flight to Tampa.

399
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: The Eagles already arriving early, extra time to acclimate to

400
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: that heat and humidity. If you know, twenty four extra

401
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: hours is capable of doing that. Elsewhere in the NFC East,

402
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: the Giants are at home this week taking on the Chargers,

403
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: and they got a new quarterback, Jackson Dart, the number

404
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: twenty five overall pick, set to make his first NFL

405
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: start on Sunday. Russell Wilson, demoted after a brutal offensive

406
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: performance last Sunday Night, is going to serve as the

407
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: number two quarterback.

408
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: And somewhere I have to imagine.

409
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: Jesse Mentor and the Chargers defense are licking their chops

410
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: for this one. Welcome back to the Insiders, presented by

411
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: a Progressive Insurance. I'm Tom Pelicero. That's Omar Ruiz Omar.

412
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. How do the Chargers attack

413
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: this Giants offense and that first time starting QB.

414
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 7: Well, you said it, jesse Mentor saying they're not going

415
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 7: to overthink it. He said, as long as they bring

416
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 7: the right mentality to the field, they can play with anybody,

417
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 7: whether that's Patrick Mahomes, whether that's a rookie like Jackson

418
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 7: Dart making his first start. But he was asked because

419
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 7: this guising coverages is such a big part of that

420
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 7: Chargers defense and much of their success, if they're gonna

421
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 7: dial that up even more and mintor basically saying they're

422
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 7: just gonna play their game. They're gonna do what they

423
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 7: think is best to win this game against the New

424
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 7: York Giants. He said, they went back and they watch

425
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 7: a lot of film from Ole Miss Jackson Dart in college.

426
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 7: Didn't necessarily share that with the players. What they did

427
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 7: look at with the players with the seventy snaps that

428
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 7: he played in the preseason, they studied what he did well,

429
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 7: anticipating what they might do with him to make him

430
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 7: comfortable as he makes.

431
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: His first start.

432
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 7: They saw also what he maybe didn't do so well,

433
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 7: going to try to capitalize on that. But obviously the

434
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 7: Chargers know it's more than just Jackson Dart. Obbs contend

435
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 7: with Malik Neighbors downfield with Camp Scataboo and the physicality

436
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 7: that he brings in the run game. But the Chargers, yeah,

437
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 7: licking their chops to get out there and play the

438
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 7: New York Giants on Sunday should be an interesting matchup

439
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 7: with the darts debut.

440
00:19:59,480 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 5: There.

441
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: Tom points for Omar mentioning Cam Skataboo. We always love

442
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: that on this and every other NFL Network show. Omar,

443
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: thank you very much. We will talk to you again soon.

444
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: Quarterback news is not as good on the injury front

445
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: for the Washington Commanders, who will not have Jayde Daniels

446
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: for a second consecutive week. The Commanders officially ruling out

447
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: their quarterback today because that knee spraining that he suffered

448
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Daniels had expressed that he

449
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: wanted to go. He was able to get out there

450
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: do limited practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but the doctors

451
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: did not clear him. Dan Quinn has made clear they're

452
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: not putting Jade Daniels out there until he can do everything.

453
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 2: That time is not just yet. We'll see where he

454
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: is next week.

455
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: Time now for good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance. The

456
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: Falcons offense has been well, let's call it up and

457
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: down so far this season, but that defense has been bawling.

458
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: They are allowing one hundred and thirty one passing yards

459
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: per game this season, the fewest in the NFL, and

460
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: they've continued that. With aj Terrell out last week, we

461
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: missed the end of the Week two game, also inactive

462
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: for Sunday's game against the Commanders. Take a look at

463
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons defense across the board among the best in

464
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: the game. Total yards, passing yards, completion percentage, Versutly every

465
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: category is a big improvement from where there were a

466
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: year ago. Obvious team now that's trying to figure some

467
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: things out with Michael Pennix Junior and that offense moving forward. Meanwhile,

468
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, we've got a Cowboys Packers matchup that

469
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: is sure to not disappoint.

470
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: I bought to Dallas Cowboys with a handshake.

471
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: Handsheck, Jerry Jones said that handshake deal with Michael Parsons.

472
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: That's it.

473
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 4: He'd be the highest guaranteed player on defense. And then

474
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 4: we were going to send it over to the agent.

475
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 4: The agent, so it was to stick it up.

476
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 10: Same way did Jerry Jones take care of their family.

477
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,479
Speaker 4: It's the same way I didn't even take care of

478
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 4: my family.

479
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 11: We've really got three years toward this thing.

480
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: Half I did that with stat You, me and Mike

481
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: have talked.

482
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 12: I don't have the full answer for it.

483
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 10: I think gold mine would have been done a lot earlier.

484
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 4: Than they were playing.

485
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 6: His media game with Jerry is not fun, but I

486
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 6: do want Michael to get pay.

487
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons requested a trade away from the Cowboys.

488
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 7: Jerry, are you considering trading Michael.

489
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 9: Parsons negotiation tall That's where I put that.

490
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 10: If they don't want me to hear they don't want

491
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 10: me here, well, if this is dead, this is dead.

492
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 7: MICHAEH. Parsons to the Green Bay Packers forty seven million

493
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 7: dollars per year.

494
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: They came quick, but that's the way things go.

495
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Michael don't want him to

496
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: have success when he play the Cowboys, and I do

497
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: want him to have under all success.

498
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 3: Well, that was like three months of our lives boiled

499
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: down into uh about a minute right there. We lived

500
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: that whole thing, and now we get to live the

501
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: revenge game. Michael Parsons back in Dallas as a member

502
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 3: of the Green Bay Packers and that guy lick at

503
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: his lips, licking his chops and hoping that his team

504
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: can keep that guy and Parsons away from his guy,

505
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott. Parsons said, it's gonna be painful if he

506
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: sacks Prescott.

507
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: Here is dak on Plane.

508
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: Parsons called you a mentor.

509
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 5: He also said that it's gonna be painful secing you.

510
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 5: I don't know if that he meant for him or

511
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 5: for you.

512
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 10: I hope it's not for me, and I hope he

513
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 10: doesn't get to me for one.

514
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: So just talk about.

515
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, it'll be fun. It will definitely be fun. Yeah,

516
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 10: there's one me and my fiance just talking about the

517
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 10: other day and just just all the the reps of

518
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 10: practice going against Micah, you know, in times when he

519
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 10: couldn't hit me, whether him getting back there, just the

520
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 10: trash tug back and forth, me telling him, you know,

521
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 10: he wouldn't tackle me anyway, he still can't bring me down.

522
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 10: He got to get to that point. So just getting

523
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 10: to go out there and compete with a guy that

524
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 10: that's that's a good friend that you've that I've competed

525
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 10: with in numbers of ways throughout this building, outside of

526
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 10: this building. Yeah, just excited to go and have that

527
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 10: match up. But he's got five guys up front plus

528
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 10: tight ends and running back. Said he's got to get through,

529
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 10: So then we'll worry about if you can get to me.

530
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 3: It's all fun games until that read no contact Jersey

531
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: comes off.

532
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 2: Micah.

533
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 3: If he spits in your direction, don't spit back. Okay,

534
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: we want to We want to see you play this game,

535
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 3: all right, James Slater. You live for stuff like this,

536
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: right when you cover the Cowboys like this. This is

537
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: the kind of injected right into my veins, James Slater.

538
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: Michael Parsons back in Dallas, go can't wait to hear this.

539
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 13: I wish I could say that I'm numb to the

540
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 13: drama at.

541
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: This point, Mike.

542
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 13: But yes, for a lot of other folks that aren't

543
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 13: around this twenty four to seven, three sixty five, I

544
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 13: imagine that there is excitement about Micah Parsons coming back

545
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 13: to Dallas. I think it's going to be a little

546
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 13: split here in Dallas in terms of people are very

547
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 13: frustrated still with Jerry Jones for giving away one of

548
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 13: your best pass rushers that you've had in over a decade,

549
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 13: a generational talent, right before the season. They've got bigger

550
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 13: problems right now, namely the fact they don't have Ceede Lamb.

551
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 13: You know, George Pickens is expected to have an increased

552
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 13: role as a old He scored in Chicago's loss, but

553
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 13: tells me he wishes he had that ball back in

554
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 13: the forth. That one went right through his hands and

555
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 13: into Tremaine and Edmunds. And despite seeing him slam his

556
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 13: helmet in frustration, he says he doesn't ruminate on it

557
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 13: too long. And I joke, did you dt your helmet

558
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 13: at all? He says, Nah, it's pretty tough. He did

559
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 13: tell me that because this Packer's front seven already has

560
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 13: ten sacks through tee through three games. He tells me

561
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 13: they'll likely blitz. They'll send him back her tight front.

562
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 13: He says, route timing is going to be huge. Obviously,

563
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 13: You're also going to be using a guy like Cavante

564
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 13: Turpin who's known for his speed. But getting that ball

565
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 13: out of his hands, knowing that that pass rush is

566
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 13: going to be coming, and being familiar with Micah Parsons

567
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 13: game is going to be key here.

568
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: Mike Jane just got to find Cherise Parsons, who Micah's mother,

569
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 3: who was wearing Cowboys gear a week one the opener

570
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia. She had this like blue shirt with the

571
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: white sleeves. I can't imagine she's showing up in Cowboy

572
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: who knows?

573
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 2: So find her. Hopefully she's got well jersey on.

574
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 13: I love that you bring that up, Mike, because I

575
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 13: reached out to Micah and this week he said he

576
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 13: tried to get rid of his suite when he got traded.

577
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 13: He offered up to Kenny Clark. Kenney Clark didn't want it.

578
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 13: And then Trayvon Diggs told me that because he's besties

579
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 13: with Micah, a bunch of his family's going to be

580
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 13: in there. And so I said, is the rule going

581
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 13: to be no Green Bay gear? Is it all Cowboys gear?

582
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 13: Micah says Trayvon never tells me what he's doing.

583
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

584
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 13: I asked to get a camera in there, but he says,

585
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 13: there's some people who want their anonymity, So no camera

586
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 13: in there, but maybe we'll get a shot from Sunday

587
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 13: my football up into just go in there with the

588
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 13: with the glasses, with the mustache.

589
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: You can find them in the prop store, Jane from

590
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 3: having the prop department an NFL network. All right, So

591
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: Trayvon Diggs, he was off the injury report from what

592
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 3: I saw this week, so he's expected to go this

593
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: secondary like beyond the Micah Parsons stuff.

594
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: This secondary needs to cover people.

595
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 13: Yeah, they're giving up nine hundred passing yards in just

596
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 13: three games. I mean, not exactly something you write home about. Now,

597
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 13: I will point out that Deron Bland is really here

598
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 13: in the secondary and they're getting him back. We rarely

599
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 13: have seen a Trayvon or Giron Gland on the field together, Mike,

600
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 13: because one of them is always hurt. Diggs, as you

601
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 13: had mentioned, was on the injury report this week. It

602
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 13: said you how to knee. He told me he had

603
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 13: a hamstring issue. It was tight, he said it was

604
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 13: loose in practice and he was full go. So he

605
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 13: is good to play. And he said the biggest problem

606
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 13: with this secondary right now is they've got to be

607
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 13: closer in their zones. In other words, they've got to

608
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 13: make sure they're closer to their man. He says, would

609
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 13: Deron Bland back there, the QB is going to be

610
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 13: a lot more cautious where he throws the ball. And

611
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 13: while Mattieberfluse took particular frustration with my boy Nick Harris

612
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 13: here one of the local beat writers. He asked him,

613
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 13: is Dearon gonna be playing in the nickel? He said,

614
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 13: I'm not going to give you the game plan, but

615
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 13: Trayvon made sure to tell me, you know, he can

616
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 13: play Nickel, So.

617
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: There you go. There you go. Jane Slater is all

618
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: over it.

619
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 3: Will have all of our coverage for this leading up

620
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 3: to kickoff on Sunday. Come on, Jane, they'll be numb

621
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: to it. Come on, feel it, Jane, feel it. This

622
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 3: is what it's all about.

623
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: This is why you left on in weights. Jane Slater,

624
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: thank you very much.

625
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: Just looking forward to everything you've got on this game

626
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 3: coming up on Sunday.

627
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 2: Adam Rank is coming up with The Insiders.

628
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: Cam Scantaboo. Is he a start or is he a sit?

629
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 3: Rank's got all his starts and his sits, And that's

630
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: the way I feel about it. I'm doing backflips in

631
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: the studio that's next to the Insiders.

00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: now joining us for some fantasy advice ahead of Week

638
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: four in the fantasy season. In the NFL season, we're

639
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: gonna do some starts and starts and sits with.

640
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: Injuries, injuries or return from injuries. How do they affect

641
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: these guys.

642
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: That's the theme here and the theme whenever on Rank

643
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: is here is is just awesome. So let's start with

644
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 3: can scataboo? Uh no, I'm sorry, we're starting with a

645
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: Marion Hampton. Wrong running back Omar and Hampton with Najie

646
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: Harris out for the season with that achilles injury, start.

647
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: Or sit o'mar and Hampton.

648
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, we're gonna get a Marion Hampton into our lineups

649
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 14: now that without Naji Harris, there's gonna true there's gonna

650
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 14: be a true pathway to tow carries.

651
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: In this offense. You look at what the Chargers want

652
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: to do.

653
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 14: Now, it's interesting because the Chargers under under Jim Harbaugh

654
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 14: and Greg Roman, they've actually passed the ball with some

655
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 14: with quite proficiency. However, they're still going to go out

656
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 14: there and establish a run. And in a game against

657
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 14: the New York Giants where you expect them to go

658
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 14: out there and get a pretty big lead. The excuse me,

659
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 14: the game script should say that they're going to be

660
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 14: running the football. So Amri and Hampton is an absolute

661
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 14: must start this week.

662
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: If you got them dialed up?

663
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I got them and I've been starting them and

664
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 3: I'm hopeful that the production will continue, actually go up.

665
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: I need a little bit of help here, Rank, We're

666
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: one and two. We gotta win. We gotta keep that moment.

667
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: I'm going Cam Skataboo not on my team, on the

668
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: Giants team after Tyrone Tracy's injury a dislocated shoulder. So

669
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 3: Cam Scataboo has already been taking the lion's share of

670
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: the reps for the Giants in the backfield.

671
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: Now this is only going to help, right.

672
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, this has been one of those things last week,

673
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 14: going into that game, we were kind of a little apprehensive.

674
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 14: We're waiting to see what was going to be the

675
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 14: full rollout with cam Scataboo. With his role in this offense.

676
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 14: Week by week it had been continuing to build. But

677
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 14: now without having Tyrone Tracy there seeding some of the

678
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 14: carries away from him, now we're going to get a

679
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 14: full compliment of Cam Scataboo. Now, obviously you would want

680
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 14: a better matchup. The Chargers are one of the better

681
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 14: defenses in the NFL. But there is no way you're

682
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 14: gonna stop me from starting Cam Skataboo this week. I

683
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 14: do know that again, the efficiency might not be as great,

684
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 14: he might not get like eight yards per carry or

685
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 14: anything like that, but the touchdown potential always is there.

686
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 14: He is their goal line back. You got to make

687
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 14: sure the King's Kataboo is starting this week.

688
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: No vulturing when he is the goal line back. So

689
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: that is a great sign right there. And Mecca Abuka

690
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: was filling in for Chris Godwin. Now Godwin's back and

691
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: Mike Evans is going to be out. Looking like about

692
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 3: three weeks or so for Evans, Abuka has been sensational.

693
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: This has gotta be keep riding the rookie right absolutely.

694
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 14: He's had at least twelve Fantasy points in every game

695
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 14: this season. It'll be interesting to see what happens with

696
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 14: the way that the coverages rolled towards him now obviously

697
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 14: being able to play alongside of Mike Evans. Mike Evans

698
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 14: still takes the lion's share of coverages and things of

699
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 14: that nature, but even with Chris Godwin out there, it

700
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 14: still should open things up for double out out on

701
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 14: the pitch, and so for me, I'm looking at this

702
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 14: as as a must start. However, depending on your options,

703
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 14: because I personally gz I got a team that has

704
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 14: Roma Dunza and Mika Abuka, so I'm going with Roma Dunza.

705
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 14: But in most cases I'm starting doubly. I think he's

706
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 14: going to be a really good option. I still think

707
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 14: that despite the fact that he's going up against the

708
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 14: Philadelphia Eagles, who've done a They've got a really good defense. However,

709
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 14: we have seen some receivers do pretty well against them,

710
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 14: including Devote Adams a week ago. So where the Eagles

711
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 14: have been shutting down the run, you could probably throw

712
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 14: on them.

713
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: Now.

714
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense, we came into the

715
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 3: season and we expected them to be more that they

716
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: expected themselves to be more explosive.

717
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: Now it won't be.

718
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: The full passing game until Rushie Rice is back in

719
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: Week six, but Xavier Worthy returns to the lineup that

720
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: should help things right well.

721
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 14: Not only that, the matchup against the Baltimore Ravens is

722
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 14: pretty good. We saw last week what Detroit was able

723
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 14: to do both running and throwing the ball against his defense.

724
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 14: While it is still a big name defense. It is

725
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 14: a it's a headliner. You go to see them, but

726
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 14: you're like, hey, where are the rest of the members

727
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 14: of the band. This used to be one of the

728
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 14: greatest bands of all time. Now that get only got

729
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 14: the basis what is happening here? I feel pretty confident

730
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 14: in Patrick mahomes it with so many starting quarterbacks out

731
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 14: injured and ing Jaden Daniels and JJ McCarthy, there's no

732
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 14: way that you're going to be sitting Patrick Mahomes this week.

733
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: We are always starting Adam Rank when it comes to

734
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 3: fantasy advice. Appreciate you stopping by on a Friday to

735
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: drop the nugs of wisdom on us. Have a great

736
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: week four in fantasy, Adam Rank, and in reality too.

737
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: I wish you had nothing but the best in all

738
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: the realms.

739
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: Last Sunday was a fun day for the Vikings defense,

740
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: and specifically Asaiah Rodgers did something nobody's ever done before,

741
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: a pick six, a fumble return for a touchdown, and

742
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: forcing a third turnover.

743
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: Not bad for a guy that now.

744
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: Plenty of people watching it probably not heard a whole

745
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: lot about prior to that game. They got the Steelers

746
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: up this week our Brian Baldinger's got a Baldy's breakdown.

747
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 12: We wake up Sunday morning to watch the Steelers and

748
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 12: Vikings play in Dublin Iron Remember this about these two

749
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 12: teams from a year ago, they tied for the league

750
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 12: lead and takeaways with thirty three and oh, by the way,

751
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 12: last week in Week three, they both had five takeaways,

752
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 12: all right at the top of the leader war through

753
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 12: three weeks right now, And if you watch right here,

754
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 12: the Minnesota Vikings defense, they give you a lot of looks.

755
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 12: They disguise their coverages, but eventually they're going to rotate

756
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 12: here to a two deep five underneath floor zone coverage

757
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 12: right here, all right, two deep five hundred. At the

758
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 12: bottom is Isaiah Rodgers number two. He's in the curl

759
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 12: flat right here, and he's just reading the quarterback's eyes.

760
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 12: And when they try to check the ball down to

761
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 12: to Chase Brown, it's an aeron throw. He picks it

762
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 12: off and he would pick up a couple of blocks

763
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 12: and take it the distance for the Vikings second touchdown

764
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 12: last week to go up fourteen to nothing on the Bengals.

765
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 12: And then if you watch the defensive tackle Jalen Redman

766
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 12: right here. He does a great job here of taking

767
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 12: on the double team, keeping his inside arm free and

768
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 12: just punch the ball out of samajp rams pe Ryan's

769
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 12: hands right there, and Jonathan Allen, the defensive tackle would recover.

770
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 2: All right.

771
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 12: They are proficient and taking the ball away. But so

772
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 12: are the Steelers. Last week Dick Krbig, he started for

773
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 12: Alex Heismith at right outside linebacker.

774
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: We watch Cam Hayward right here along with TJ.

775
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 12: Watt, the three of them, because Hayward's gonna flush Drake

776
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 12: May right here.

777
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 2: And when Drake May steps.

778
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 12: Up, here comes Dick Krbig with this sack fumble right there,

779
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 12: and TJ. Watt gets on that led to the go

780
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 12: ahead touchdown of the Steelers a week ago. And if

781
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 12: you go back two weeks, you watch Jalen Ramsey right here.

782
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 12: The Seattle Seawks are running the stack route combination right here,

783
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 12: and Jalen Ramsey is cluing and looking back at Sam Darnold.

784
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 12: He sees he's going to the out right here, he

785
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 12: jumps right in front of it to take him the

786
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 12: ball away. So I think when we watch this game

787
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 12: on Sunday morning, the key Mabe might very well be

788
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 12: who takes the ball away more who wins that turnover battle?

789
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: Great stuff, as always from Brian Balding.

790
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: Here Baldis breakdowns only here on The Insiders, Only on

791
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: NFL Network, Vikings and Steelers nine to thirty am Eastern Time.

792
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: Grab your eggs, sausage, and a little bit of football

793
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: for breakfast start. Judy Batista's already in Dublin, caught up

794
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: with Steelers wide receiver Calvin austin the third. Y, Calvin,

795
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: I know you've been here in Dublin.

796
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 9: How's it been so far? The first few hours off

797
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 9: the plane.

798
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 4: It's been great.

799
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 11: You know, it was been good to you know, get

800
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 11: outside and get to move and after the long flight,

801
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 11: I slept the whole way so so that that was nice.

802
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 11: But it's been cool to just see how warm we've

803
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 11: been welcome here and it's just been a great to

804
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 11: just get be back here.

805
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 8: You know a little bit, I'm sure about the history

806
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 8: of the franchise and the Rooney family. What does it

807
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 8: mean to be a part of the team that's playing

808
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 8: the first regular season game here?

809
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 11: Like you said, the history, you know, it definitely stands

810
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 11: out and is very you know, meaningful for why we're

811
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 11: here and just to be representing not only their family,

812
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 11: but this organization is something that's very cool and.

813
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: It's just cool to be a part of history.

814
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 8: We heard coach to talk about like take it easy physically,

815
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 8: but they need to locked in mentally. What's your plan

816
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 8: for the rest of the day, maybe recovery, rest, What

817
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 8: are you going to do some of all?

818
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 11: You know, you know, some some recovery stuff for sure,

819
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 11: eat some food, spend time with the guys. My family

820
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 11: is here, so I'll go eat, eat with them for sure,

821
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 11: and you know, just kind of just be present, you know,

822
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 11: just enjoying where I'm at, just seeing the surroundings and stuff,

823
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 11: and just just taking it slow because you know, and

824
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 11: with opportunities like this, that's just what you kind of

825
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 11: want to do is just just just take it all in.

826
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 4: And so I just want to take full advantage of it.

827
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 8: All right, let me ask you a few questions about

828
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 8: the game. Uh, you guys are yack Kings right now,

829
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 8: the Pittsburgh Steelers. But what do you need to do

830
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 8: to get those big chunk plays down the field going?

831
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 4: You know, just continue to be honed in on our

832
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 4: detailed and assignments.

833
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 11: You know, when when we look back at film or

834
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 11: some of the missed opportunities, I would say it was

835
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 11: just come down to just like one little, one little

836
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 11: either misstep, alignment or just something very small. So just

837
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 11: continuing in the in the midst of the game to

838
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 11: be locked in and I think those big players will come.

839
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 8: We keep hearing Aaron say like it's a work in progress.

840
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 8: It's a work in progress, it's still coming. Where do

841
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 8: you think this offense is right now?

842
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 4: You know, I think we're right where we're supposed to be.

843
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 11: Would we want to have, you know, more yards, more touchdowns,

844
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 11: of course, but I think even when we do get

845
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 11: to that point, we're still gonna want more and want

846
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:28,479
Speaker 11: to be better.

847
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 4: But I think we're right where we need to be.

848
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 11: We're having the right conversations, we have the right people

849
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 11: in the room, and so like I said, it's just

850
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 11: a matter of taking what we do in meetings and

851
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 11: how we practice and just and just finally let it

852
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 11: in this show on the field, because like I said,

853
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 11: we got the right.

854
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 4: Mix of everything, So it's just about just putting it

855
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 4: on display.

856
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 9: Last one.

857
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 8: How meaningful would it be for the Steelers to get

858
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 8: their first regular season victory here in Dublin.

859
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 11: It'd be big for the Rooney family or organization.

860
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 4: It'll be big.

861
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 11: And then just for us to you know, get back

862
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 11: on check. Like you said, this is considered a home

863
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 11: game for us, so you always want to protect home.

864
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 11: And this may be not, you know, Pittsburgh home, but

865
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 11: it's kind of an extension of Pittsburgh. So anytime you're

866
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 11: at home, you definitely want to protect it. And so

867
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 11: that's what we came here to do.

868
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 9: Calvin, Thanks, get some rest, Thank you well.

869
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 4: I appreciate you.

870
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 9: Abe.
