1 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: It's Friday, which means the practice week. Hey is in 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: the barn. Who shoveled it in there for the Steelers? 3 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: Was it that guy right there, Russell Wilson or was 4 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: it justin fields. We'll talk about it coming up as 5 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: the charade somehow continues joining us later in the program, 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: This guy right here who I think just caught another 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: pass against the Saints. It's Chris Godwin, Buccaneers wide receiver. 8 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna want to hear from him about all things 9 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: football and what he's doing off the field for the 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,279 Speaker 1: Tampa area. And then this guy as well, joining us, 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: Brian Branch who, yes, I think he just forced another 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: turnover against the Cowboys. The Lions defensive back is with us. 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: Later in the program. It is the Insiders for your 14 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: Friday of week seven. As we are inching closer to Sunday, 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: Judy Batista joining me Mike Garofalo, as we get you 16 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: set for this weekend of NFL Action and look back 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: at the last couple of days in the news that 18 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: it brought us, including the news that really kind of 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: sort of hit on Tuesday, or at least I think 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: we thought it did. And somehow the Steelers are still 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: playing this one along. Mike Tomlin sounded like he was 22 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: gunning for Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback on Tuesday, 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: but now sort of walking it back and not quite 24 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: confirming it even if Russ and George Pickens sort of did. 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: It's the first game of the year for me. 26 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 3: But you know, I've been fortunately, been a lot of 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 3: first games, you know, so the confidence is there, obviously, 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 3: and then obviously just being out with the guys. 29 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: That's the fun part about this game. It's just playing the. 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 3: Game you love and and doing the fiscal part of 31 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 3: you know, getting an end zone hopefully, you know, let's 32 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: score a bunch of touchdowns. 33 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 4: Have you noticed him putting in extra time this week, 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 4: maybe working with you one on one, just to try 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 4: to get on the same page. 36 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, getting on the same page. I have to practice 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: throwing more than morning usually because you know, this is 38 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: first start. Mike, how did Russ look this week? 39 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 5: And if you're. 40 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 6: Ready to name a start, I am, but I'm just gonna, 41 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 6: you know, keep that in house. But I thought he 42 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 6: was sharp. I thought Justin was sharp as well. I 43 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 6: thought we had a highly productive week from both guys 44 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 6: and from the unit. 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 4: As a whole, making a scenario still in play where 46 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 4: you could use both quarterbacks. 47 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 7: Certain how much hen put does Arthur have on these situations, 48 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 7: just given that he's been game planning with Justin. 49 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: For six weeks. 50 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 6: I wear the decisions. 51 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: He wears the decision Judy and Arthur Smith, who is 52 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: being discussed there, the offensive coordinator said, whichever way Mike 53 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: tells me to go or ready for both. Are ready 54 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson and we're ready for Justin fields. And 55 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: speaking of both, you heard the question there in week 56 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: one they were planning to use fields as well as 57 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: part of a package of plays alongside Russell Wilson. So yes, 58 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: you could see that. But Judy, again, I thought on 59 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: Tuesday we had our answer. Here we are on Friday. 60 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: We do think it's going to be Russell. 61 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 8: Wilson, though, we do. But I really appreciate Mike Tomlin's 62 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 8: commitment to this, to keeping it, trying to keep it 63 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 8: in house, even though George Pickens is out there saying like, yes, 64 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 8: I'm spending more time with him because he's making his 65 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 8: first It's good that they're spending more time because presumably 66 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 8: one of the reasons that Mike Tomlin wants to make 67 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 8: this kind of unorthodox move at this point, is that 68 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 8: he wants more out of the passing game. They are 69 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 8: only twenty eighth in passing, they're twenty first in scoring. 70 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 8: He clearly even think he wants more explosive plays, more 71 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 8: downfield plays. It's not that Justin Fields did anything wrong. Really, 72 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 8: he did a lot of right, but he just didn't 73 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 8: do enough. It seems of what Mike Tomlin wants to see. 74 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 8: I keep going back to what Tomlin said at the 75 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 8: very beginning of the week where he said the offense 76 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 8: has been good and Justin Fields has been good, which 77 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 8: is not to be confused with great, and he said, like, 78 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 8: you know, we want to be one of those teams. 79 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: This is a competitive league. 80 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 8: We want to be one of those teams. And so 81 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 8: I feel like he is making this decision with the 82 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 8: big picture in mind, that it's not just about winning 83 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 8: games right now. It's he wants to be able to 84 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 8: compete with the Ravens and the Chiefs and the Bills 85 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 8: and those kinds of teams that he would have to 86 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 8: face in the A playoffs. 87 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: I understand that I do, and Russell Wilson certainly has 88 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: more Skins on the wall has a Super Bowl ring 89 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: as well, which Justin Fields does not have. But he's 90 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: got to play error free, like he's got to make 91 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: up for the ceiling that he doesn't have that Justin 92 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: Fields has. And the fact that I think that offensive 93 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: staff felt like they were building toward making Justin Fields 94 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: a dynamic quarterback who also is playing the position the 95 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: right way. That's what they've been working on with him. 96 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: So for Russell Wilson to sort of bend him off, 97 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: he's got to back up Mike Tomlin's confidence and for 98 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: that it's got to be error free football, which he 99 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: did not necessarily show them in the spring and into 100 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: the summer. So a fascinating storyline to watch there in 101 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: western Pennsylvania as the Jets come in and try to 102 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: get their third win of the season against Russell Wilson. 103 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: We know for a fact that it'll be this guy 104 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson who missed the last two games with an 105 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: oblique injury. Shane Stike in the head coach excuse me 106 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: saying that, yes, he is going to be the guy 107 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. Good to go the highly drafted youngster 108 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: versus the well highly drafted veteran who's been around for 109 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: quite some time in Joe Flacco, who certainly put again 110 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 1: that he is still a capable quarterback at this point 111 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: of his career at Judy. We do know that Richardson, 112 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: just like Russell Wilson, going to have to play well 113 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: because we know what the backup option is. 114 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 8: Well, this is again you just were talking about justin 115 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 8: field steiling. Anthony Richardson has a really high ceiling, the 116 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 8: Colts think, and they want to see him reach it. 117 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 8: This is all about getting Richardson on the field, hopefully 118 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 8: keeping him on the fields and developing him. 119 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 2: He's barely played. 120 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 8: He barely played last year, he's barely played this year, 121 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 8: and he's already missed time. I don't think there's much 122 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 8: argument that right at this moment Joe Flacco is the 123 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 8: better quarterback. He's still playing really well. But this is 124 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 8: all about the future of the Colts and that future 125 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 8: is Anthony Richardson, and they need him playing and playing 126 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 8: consistently and hopefully playing week after week so that he 127 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 8: can into the franchise quarterback they believe he is. 128 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're talking. I mean, you make a great point. 129 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: He's still in that portion of his career where he 130 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: needs to get reps. This is the guy who came 131 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: in from college and did not have that experience. That 132 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: was one of the knocks against him. So we're still 133 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: at the point where he's got to get more football 134 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: under his belt and learn how to play quarterback at 135 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: the NFL level. Okay, those are a couple of decisions 136 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: and injury situations that we've been following, as are these 137 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: right here Aaron Jones. The fact that he's I mean 138 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: that one looked really bad when he suffered it in 139 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: London's the fact that he is questionable at this point 140 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: and on the likely side of playing it is a 141 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: great sign for the Vikings as a head into that 142 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: game against the Lions. Nick Chubb, what a great story. 143 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: We saw his emotion as his teammates were hooting and 144 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: hollering while he was meeting with the media. They are 145 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: excited to have him back in Cleveland. Milik Neighbors got 146 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: that clearance for the concussion on Thursday. The groin issue 147 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: that popped up not a major deal as well. And 148 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: then there's Cooper Cup questionable to play against the Raiders. 149 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on his status as we get 150 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: closer to Sunday. The Broncos aren't playing Sunday. They're already done. 151 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: They already Dubbeday. There you go. They're marching down Bourbon Street. 152 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: The Broncos love to do this after victories to kind 153 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: of troll the opponent and hey, we came into your 154 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: territory with carrying your flags up your most famous street. 155 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: I wonder where they got the local musicians there, certainly 156 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: not Broncos fans, I'm sure. Here was Sean Payton after 157 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: the game greeting some of his former players, including Alvin 158 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: Kamara and lip Readers Unite. I think we got a 159 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: couple of folks saying come get me or get me, 160 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, trade for me. From my understanding, he was 161 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: just greeting him and just saying hello. Now that being said, 162 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: this is an interesting one to watch because Kamara does 163 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: have another year left on his contract. However, it's a 164 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: balloon year that was just meant to inflate the contract 165 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: when he signed it the last time with the sat 166 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: so it's really not a real year. He is in 167 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: the final year of his contract. So the Saints now 168 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: have let's say a little more than two weeks now, 169 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Judy to get a deal done with him, or make 170 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: a decision, this is the guy we want to trade 171 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: and get some value for because we potentially could lose 172 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: him as a free agent. You always get the well 173 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: if we lose it with a free agent, we can 174 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: get the cop pick back, but sometimes you want the 175 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: compensation now, So certainly is one we're keeping an eye 176 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: on Judy to see if either the Saints could come 177 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: to an agreement on a deal with him or maybe 178 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: consider dealing him elsewhere. 179 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 8: Well, and you could also see why Alvin Kamara might 180 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 8: want to rejoin Sean Payton because he was super productive 181 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 8: when Sean Crayton was there in New Orleans, right, I 182 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 8: mean he fit perfectly to what Sean Payton likes to do, 183 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 8: which not only includes running the ball, but throwing the 184 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 8: ball to running backs out of the backfield. And Kamerica 185 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 8: can do that and they don't really have that kind 186 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 8: of person in Denver right now. But you know, I 187 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 8: just go back to the Saints who started the season 188 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 8: so so hot, and how quickly it has unraveled with 189 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 8: so many injuries, and certainly if they deal Kamara now 190 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 8: and you know, don't get a deal done with him, 191 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 8: I mean that is presumably waiving the white flag on 192 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 8: this season, especially the way things have gone in the 193 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 8: last few weeks. That's a tough decision to make for 194 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 8: the Saints. At this moment. We still have a few 195 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 8: weeks to go, but certainly the way they've gone the 196 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 8: last few weeks, with all the injuries and the results 197 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 8: they've had, you know, they got a big decision to 198 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 8: make here in the next two weeks or so. 199 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: Now. A lot of times when you see a player 200 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: get to Week one and say that's it, either you 201 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: get a deal done by then, or I'm not doing 202 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: a deal during the season. From my understanding, this was 203 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: not one of those situations. So potential contract extension is 204 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: still in play for Kamara before the end of the season, 205 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: and maybe that's what the Saints could use to kind 206 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: of stop this negative momentum and maybe spit it forward 207 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: to show that there's hope for the future. Speaking of 208 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: the future, that is where Max Crosby is looking. The 209 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: Raiders All pro defensive end spoke to the media this 210 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: week and he was asked about, well, DeVante Adams got traded, 211 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: could you potentially be next? Listen to his words, but 212 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: also look in his eyes when he's talking here, I'm 213 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: not here to rebuild. I'm here to win. 214 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 9: So you know, I don't know whatever that means, but yeah, 215 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 9: I'm here to win now, and whoever I'm gonna be, 216 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 9: I'm you know, I'm going to be here to win. 217 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 9: So that's all that matters to me. 218 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 219 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: A lot of bread crumbs there, Judy, a lot of 220 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: bread crumbs scattered, I would say. My interpretation, and from 221 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: talking to folks who know what Max Crosby means to 222 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders and what the Raiders mean to Max Crosby, 223 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: my interpretation is I think he'd much prefer to stay there, 224 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: but understands that DeVante Adams being traded, the fact that 225 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: they don't really have a long term solution at quarterback, 226 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: like this could be a slow rebuild and if that's 227 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: the case, at twenty seven years old, Max Crosby kind 228 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: of saying, if you're going to do that, I don't 229 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: have time for that, right. 230 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 231 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,359 Speaker 8: I thought the look on his Facebook sort of resignation 232 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 8: more than anything that like, oh gosh, this is. 233 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: Going to be a tough situation. 234 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 8: Let's just go back a few days. Mark Davis at 235 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 8: the owners meeting earlier this week in Atlanta, was asked 236 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 8: about ex Crossman. He said, it's not happy, meaning they 237 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 8: are not going to trade him now. Of course that 238 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 8: was a few days ago. That was before Max Crosby 239 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 8: said what he just said. And certainly we'll see how 240 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 8: the next few games go to see if their future changes. 241 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: In Las Vegas. 242 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 8: But you know, again again, once you see a DeVante 243 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 8: Adams sent out, and obviously DeVante Adams wanted to be. 244 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 2: Sent out, but once. 245 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 8: You see the organization make that decision, that's a pretty 246 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 8: strong signal about the way things are going. Obviously, the 247 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 8: quarterback situation is not great there right now. They're not 248 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 8: winning a ton of games, They're not playing very well. 249 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 8: You can understand if Max Crosby is, you know, sort 250 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 8: of taking a deep breath and saying, I'd like to 251 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 8: be here, but this is not really what I signed 252 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 8: up for and it is not how I want to 253 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 8: spend the next few seasons. 254 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: Quick turnarounds are possible. I mean, look, the Texans got 255 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: themselves a quarterback and c. J. Stroud went to the 256 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: playoffs immediately the next year expected to be an even 257 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: more dangerous contender, So it can happen. But I think 258 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders owe it to Max Crosby to be honest 259 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: with him right now as the trade deadline is approp 260 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: because if it's not going to happen and fully this offseason, 261 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: then make the move now and get him where he 262 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: can get to a competitive team, and if it is 263 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: going to happen, follow through it. They owe it to 264 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: Max Crosby, and I'll say they owe it to head 265 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: coach Antonio Pierce at some point, like he's got to 266 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: have a roster to show whether he's got the chops 267 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: to be a long term head coach in the NFL 268 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: or not. Chris Godwin, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver, 269 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: has shown the chops to be a successful receiver in 270 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: this league for quite some time. We're going to talk 271 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: to him about that, about the Bucks right now, and 272 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: about the state of Tampa following the Hurricanes and what 273 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: he is doing to help. 274 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 10: Good staff pastor the Anzel cloughckball touched down Tampa Bay. 275 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 10: Chris Godwin's got it. How the bucket of your score 276 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 10: on the opening possession for the third game. 277 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: In a row, Mayfield throws an absolute rope to get 278 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: it in there. 279 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 10: Emotion Godwin play action fake Mayfield, looks downfield, throws a 280 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 10: clot ball all the left side out of fross the 281 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 10: fifty to the forty five is Godwin. He breaks another tackle, 282 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 10: Godway down the sideline upside of the numbers on the 283 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 10: ten five free, two one touchdown, Tampa Bay. Chris Godwin 284 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 10: fought through a tackle, got his balance and scoots fifty 285 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 10: five yards to the promised land. 286 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: You know, the play doesn't end when he catches the ball. 287 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: He's like a running back out there, and a physical 288 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: running back out there in open space. Chris Godwin on 289 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, joining us Durning, Judy Batista, and 290 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: myself Mike Garrolfalo here after his big game on Sunday. 291 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: What was that game like? Because that thing just opened 292 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: up and all of a sudden points left and right. 293 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: You being an offensive guy, certainly scoring more than the 294 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: other team as well, helps. What was that game like 295 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday? 296 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: Man? It was, honestly, it was a crazy game. 297 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 4: We started off like really really hot and then hit 298 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 4: a bit of a lull there in the second quarter, 299 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 4: has some bad turnovers and some uncharacteristic penalties, but we 300 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 4: bought the diversity, man, and then turned it on in 301 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 4: that second half, things like twenty seven to the points, 302 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 4: gritty win by the guys. 303 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 8: All right, Well, you have personally not hit a lot 304 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 8: at all the season. You lead the league in receptions 305 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 8: and in yards after catch. Obviously, you and Baker seem 306 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 8: to have a great connection. What's working for you and 307 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 8: Baker this year so well? 308 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, I just think our second year of 309 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 4: working together, I think we've gone through some highs and 310 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 4: some of those and just in terms of like learning 311 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 4: like what each other are looking for. But I think 312 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 4: like both of us were very smart players and at 313 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 4: the end of the day, we're just trying to win. 314 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 4: So I think we have a good connection going, but 315 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 4: that that goes with a lot of hard work and 316 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 4: a lot of time put in. So I'm excited about 317 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 4: where we are, but I know that there's a lot 318 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 4: more in store for us. 319 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: A new offensive coordinator this year in Liam Cohen. Maybe 320 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: a lot of folks around the league don't know enough 321 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: about him. Time for him to get a little bit 322 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: of his flowers right here from you, because you guys 323 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: have been playing well offensively and he's been pushing the 324 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: right button. Certainly did on Sunday. 325 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, man, I mean Leam. He's a football 326 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 4: guy man, Like I think every than he does. He's 327 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 4: focused on trying to be better and trying to improve 328 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 4: us as an offense. And that was something that we 329 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 4: could tell back in OTAs like the way that he 330 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 4: thinks about ball. He tries to things up to get 331 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 4: guys open. But he's also what we've learned the first 332 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 4: couple of weeks of the season is he's really good 333 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 4: at making adjustments and trying to attack where defenses are 334 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 4: a little bit vulnerable. So I think I love having 335 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 4: him as an offensive coordinator, and I think the rest 336 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: of the guys feel that same way. 337 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 8: You've got the Ravens this week, and they are a 338 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 8: very high scoring team. I think their fourth in the 339 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 8: league in scoring. You guys are second in the league 340 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 8: in scoring. But does that put more of an onus 341 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 8: on the offense when you know it's probably going to 342 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 8: be an explosive offensive game. 343 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't really look at it that way. 344 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 4: I think that when you go into a game where 345 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 4: you have two really good teams, right, like you really 346 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 4: just expected to be a battle and like, yeah, like 347 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 4: both offense are putting up points. But we also both 348 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 4: have really good defenses, so there's no really telling how 349 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 4: the game will go. I think you kind of go 350 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 4: to the mentality understanding that it's going to be a fight. 351 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 4: And if you go in there expecting the battle for 352 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 4: four quarters or more, I think that you put yourself 353 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 4: in a great mental space of God and compete because, 354 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 4: like you know, in any game right at this level, 355 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 4: like it can go up and go down, but as 356 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 4: long as you you know, you don't falter and you 357 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 4: stay within like the confise of your game plan, I 358 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 4: think that you'll be good. 359 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: You got we'll get the final injury report. Excuse me 360 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: on Saturday right now. Mike Evans out of practice the 361 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: last couple of days, the big guy, do you have 362 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: to you know, hey, listen, Mike, we need you out there, 363 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: number one, but number two, we got a thousand yard 364 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: streak that you got going in your career that we 365 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: got to keep going. How much encouragement you give them 366 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: to battle through and get out. 367 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: There, man? 368 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 4: I think you always give Mike encouragement, man, like whenever 369 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 4: he's out there on the field with us, like good, 370 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 4: that's good for the Bucks, right, Like it's been that 371 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 4: way for ten years now and it will continue to 372 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 4: be that way. 373 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 2: He's just such a dominant player. 374 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 4: But I think the biggest thing right for players is 375 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 4: just like their health, right Like, there's a long season 376 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 4: and you never really know like what things guys are 377 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 4: dealing with. So I like we trust like at this 378 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 4: point and to know his body and to know what 379 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 4: he can deal with, and you know, if he's able 380 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 4: to go on Sunday, Like I said, that's big for 381 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 4: the Bucks, all right. 382 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 8: The Ravens game is the start of a really tough 383 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 8: stretch in your schedule. You got the Ravens, then you've 384 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 8: got the Falcons, and then you've got both Super Bowl 385 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 8: teams back to back Chiefs and Niners. How do you 386 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 8: approach a stretch like this where you know it's a 387 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 8: proving ground for your team and maybe a make or 388 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 8: break stretch in the season. 389 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 4: I mean to be honest, we can't look past, you know, 390 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 4: any game, right Like, yes, it's a tough stretch coming 391 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 4: up right here, but like each game is very very 392 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 4: important and not just like for this stretch, but for 393 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 4: like the duration of our season, right Like, we're still 394 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 4: trying to put together four great quarters of football, which 395 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 4: we haven't done yet, and so we just got to 396 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 4: take it one game at a time, right, Like, we 397 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 4: have a really big game come up here Monday night 398 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 4: versus the Ravens, and like they're a very, very tough opponents, 399 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 4: so we got to focus on that. And I think 400 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 4: if we just take it one week at a time, 401 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 4: I think that will be a much better shape than 402 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 4: if we're trying to jected out into the future. 403 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: The Team Godwin Foundation, it is a cool and unique founded. 404 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: I will let you you tell us what the what 405 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: the foundation does, and I want to know specifically what 406 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: you have done with regard to the recent hurricane relief 407 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: efforts through your foundation. 408 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: Chris, Yeah, I appreciate it. 409 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 4: The Team Godwin Foundation, right, Like, we're centered around supporting 410 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 4: rescue dogs.

At Jacksonville at starting running 463 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 11: back Travis Etn, he will be a game time decision, 464 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 11: according to head coach Doug Peterson, as Etn is dealing 465 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 11: with the hamstring injury that he sustained last Sunday against 466 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 11: the Bears. He has been limited all week now. If 467 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 11: he can't go, it'll be leading rusher Tent Bigsby who 468 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 11: will start, and he'll be spelled on passing situations by 469 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 11: d Ernest Johnson. Now for the new England Patriots running 470 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 11: back from Andre Stevenson, who hasn't practiced for much of 471 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 11: the week, he'll also be a game time decision.

Hard to top this one, though, 477 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 8: a Super Bowl rematch Chiefs forty nine ers Sunday afternoon. 478 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 8: The entire nation is going to be watching and the 479 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 8: forty nine ers got some absolutely amazing news this week 480 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 8: in preparation for this game. That's wide receiver Ricky Pursol. 481 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 8: He is going to be active for Sunday's game against 482 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 8: the Chiefs.

Great to see him back on 485 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 8: the field and healthy. And now let's bring in some 486 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 8: guys to talk about this game. 487 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: Ore. 488 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 8: I'm Jeffrey Chidia and Brian Baldinger. Jeffrey, let me start 489 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 8: with you. We know about the wide receiver situation with 490 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 8: the Kansas City Chiefs. Sometimes it looks pretty dire there, 491 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 8: Hollywood Brown, Rashie Rice not with them. How important does 492 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 8: that make Juju Smith Schuster to that team right now? 493 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: It makes it critical Judy that he plays in this game. 494 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 7: You know, he had a hamstring injury earlier this week, 495 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 7: so there was some question about whether he's going to 496 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 7: be out there, and he still is listed asked questionable. 497 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 7: But he's come in here and made a huge splash. 498 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 7: You know, when they signed him, they told me he 499 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 7: was going to be a packaged player. But last week 500 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 7: had the big game where He had seven catches for 501 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty yards, and offensive coordinator Matt and 502 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 7: Maggie talked about just how important it is for him 503 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 7: to be a part of this offense. He's running a 504 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 7: lot of the same routes that Rashid Rice ran, but 505 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 7: he also has that trust factor that makes him a 506 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 7: very valuable target for Patrick Mahomes. They're running out of receivers, 507 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 7: as you said, but Juju Bie here Baldy is making 508 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 7: a big difference for this offense, no. 509 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: Question about it. 510 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 5: Over one hundred yards against the New Orleans Saints, you know, 511 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago, and you know they're running 512 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 5: out of running backs too, you know, I mean Isaiah 513 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 5: Pacheco goes down, they pick up Kareem Hunt. He makes 514 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 5: a start against the Saints and goes for over one 515 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 5: hundred yards like he did. He looked like he did 516 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 5: his rookie season when he was the rookie of the 517 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 5: Year and led the league in rushing the way he 518 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 5: was breaking tackles and running right behind Tooney and Creed, 519 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 5: Humphrey and Trey Smith Creed out there leading away right now. 520 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 5: But it's interesting to me, Jeff, is that any red 521 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 5: in twenty five years of his business. Has always been 522 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 5: a pass first guy and run late in the game 523 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 5: to win the game. But because of the injuries to 524 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 5: wide receiver and because of the pass game hasn't been 525 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 5: as electric as they wanted it to be, they've kind 526 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 5: of leaned on the run game, and so they're almost 527 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 5: fifty to fifty right now run pass for the first 528 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 5: time in Andy Reid's career. So you know you're going 529 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 5: to see cream Hunt, You're going to see some A. J. P. Ryan, 530 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 5: maybe some Carson Steel. It won't surprise me against kind 531 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 5: of a beat up San Francisco interior where you know, 532 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 5: obviously they have a replaced a linebacker from the last year, 533 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 5: and you know Javon Hargrave goes down. I could see 534 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 5: Kansas City attacking just a belly of that forty nine 535 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 5: or defense right now with that rushing attack. 536 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 8: Baldy, you're going to be calling this game. So I 537 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 8: know that me and Chief and studying a rock party. 538 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 8: What is the key to him solving if anything can 539 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 8: be solved with Steve Spagnolo's defense. 540 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 5: Well, you know he knows that Spags is going to 541 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 5: come after him in some unorthodox ways. When you at 542 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 5: least expected zero blitzes, you know, blitzes from the safety 543 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 5: in the corner position. Nobody times it better than Steve Spagnol. 544 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 5: He's a master at it, so he knows it's coming. 545 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 5: The key really is I mean, he's got great movement 546 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 5: and ability to escape. But the key to me, I 547 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 5: think in this game, because it went against him in 548 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, is they got to stay on the field. 549 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 5: They've got to convert third downs. 550 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: They've been excellent this year. 551 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 5: They're fifth or sixth in the league about forty six 552 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 5: percent right now, which is a good number. They need 553 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 5: to complete that kind of number against Kansas City, to 554 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 5: stay on the field, to be able to handle some 555 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 5: of those blitzes and burn them on those blitzes, because 556 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 5: nothing stops a coordinator like Steve Spagnola more from coming 557 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 5: after you than if you sting them on one or 558 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 5: two of those. And I think, you know, just being 559 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 5: alert pre snap reads kind of looking at some of 560 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 5: the trends. 561 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: That they might have seen this year. 562 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 5: Now they've had two weeks get ready, but still I 563 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 5: think Rock Purty pre Snap is going to be critical 564 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 5: and how he handles the blitzes when they come after 565 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 5: him because they're going to come. 566 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 8: Right Jeffrey, we know the Chiefs offense has been less 567 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 8: productive than we're used to seeing so far this season, 568 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 8: and now they have to look at Nick Bosa across 569 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 8: the line of script from them. 570 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: What kind of problems does he present to them? 571 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, really bad timing for Nick Bosa to show up 572 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 7: on the schedule, because Baldi knows this. 573 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 12: This is the guy who's a one man wrecking crew. 574 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 12: He had fourteen pressures last against Seattle. In that Super 575 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 12: Bowl that Baldi referenced, he had twelve pressures in that game, 576 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 12: and so the Chiefs know what to expect from him. 577 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 12: The problem that they have right now is offensive tackle 578 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 12: has definitely become a weak spot for them. On the 579 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 12: left side, they're playing Wanya Morris in place of Kinkle 580 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 12: Sua Mataiya. On the right side, that got Juwan Taylor, 581 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 12: who's second in the league in penalties right now, and 582 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 12: so it's really a tough combination to deal with a 583 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 12: guy like Bosa. And Andy Reid talked about how they 584 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 12: know they're going through some growing pain with these guys 585 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 12: and they believe in their talent, but they. 586 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: Really got to get it done this week because Nick 587 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: Bosa is coming. 588 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 8: I cannot wait for this game. You know, when the 589 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 8: schedule comes out in May, you circle the games you 590 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 8: can't wait for. This is one of them that I 591 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 8: have had circled since all the way back in the spring. Baldy, Jeffrey, 592 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 8: thanks so much to both of you. And look, here's 593 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 8: the formula for getting invited to be a guest on 594 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 8: The Insiders. 595 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: You come here after you have a big game. 596 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 8: We already heard from Chris Godwin, and now it's Brian 597 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 8: Branch's turn after he picked off Dak Prescott twice. We're 598 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 8: gonna talk to Brian Branch when we return on The Insiders. 599 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 13: This player came out to me last week and he said, hey, coach, 600 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 13: if I get a takeaway, can I break the team 601 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 13: down next week? And I said, if you get two, 602 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 13: you can break him down all week. Well he got 603 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 13: more than that. Man, all right, this guy had six 604 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 13: times because that PBu two PBUs. He had intercepts, two 605 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 13: interceptions and then one punch out. 606 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: Man bb b B is Brian Branch, the Lions defensive 607 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: back joining Ian Rappaport, who's popping in here to do 608 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: this interview alongside me.

But 615 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 2: I feel I know why. I kind of had a 616 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 2: bad practice in a way, but he broke his promise 617 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: on that in a way. 618 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 14: Well, so I want to kind of go back to that. 619 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 14: You know, Dan Campbell gives unbelievable post win speeches.

But I want to 673 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: talk about your defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn because I want 674 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: to give him some shine for what he has done 675 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: alongside Campbell. Give me, give me the best thing about 676 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: playing for Aaron Glenn as a defensive coordinator. 677 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 2: He going one. 678 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 15: He didn't play football before, you know, he didn't had 679 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 15: about forty plus picks and he knows what it takes. 680 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 13: Uh. 681 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 15: You know, you know how hard it is to be 682 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 15: the deepest back for one. But as a defense coordinator, 683 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 15: he puts us in the right spots to make plays. 684 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 15: And he always tells us that he gonna put us 685 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 15: in the right spot for us to make plays. We 686 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 15: just got to, you know, take advantage of the opportunity. 687 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 15: And you know, I love playing for AG just because, 688 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 15: like shooting, it's more than just football. 689 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: You know. 690 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 15: He he's a real coach. You know, he can relate 691 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 15: to you and he understands and he just he treats 692 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 15: everybody the same. So that's what you want in a coach. 693 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 14: And you guys are getting some big time recognition across 694 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 14: the NFL for the kind of performance you have on defense, 695 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,959 Speaker 14: like you did last week against the Cowboys with that beatdown. 696 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 14: Aaron Glenn also getting a lot of notice around the 697 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 14: league as well. 698 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, this week, you guys got a big one. 699 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 14: You face the undefeated Viking still undefeated. Uh, it's gonna 700 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 14: be an excellent game. Obviously you've done a full week 701 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 14: of tape study. They cut some they got some weapons. 702 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 14: How do you see that match up? Breaking down and 703 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 14: what are some of the more important things you guys 704 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 14: got to get accomplished against Minnesota. 705 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 2: We know they got weapons. 706 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 15: They got Jju one of the best receivers in the league, 707 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 15: if not the best receiver in the league. They also 708 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 15: have a great wide receiver two in Jordan Addison, who 709 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 15: could be a wide receiver one any other teams. 710 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 2: Just really stopping those two guys. I don't feel like 711 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 2: we're really too worried about the run game. 712 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 15: Just you know, they got they take shots, and we 713 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 15: got to beat and we got to be on our 714 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 15: piece of cubes and back end this week like no other. 715 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 2: Uh, just to stop that. 716 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 15: So they give us a lot of tough challenges in 717 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 15: their office, especially in their offensive scheme too, by the 718 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 15: way they run a lot of different routes almost like 719 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 15: the Rams and how they do stuff. They have a 720 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,959 Speaker 15: great quarterback, Sam Darnold. He's playing really good football right now. 721 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 2: So we just got to be us though. When the 722 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 2: ball and the air was you got to go get it. 723 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: Do you guys, I know you're looking each week who 724 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: your opponent is, but do you guys look at this 725 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: division because this is a game for a potential share 726 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: of first place in the NFC North, but if you lose, 727 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: it could be a share of last. I mean, that's 728 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: how tight this thing is, and that's how good the 729 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: records are in the NFC North. Do you think about 730 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: that at all? Do you kind of watch that a 731 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: little bit as you're preparing each week? 732 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 15: We know how important this game is, especially just like 733 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 15: you said, they're in our division. We just try to 734 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 15: play every game each each week is you know, a 735 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 15: different opponent, no matter if they're in a division or not, 736 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 15: we still have the same mentality for each opponent. 737 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 14: I don't want to take this off the field a 738 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 14: little bit. We know that cancer has hit your family hard. 739 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 14: Please share with us and the viewers your experience and 740 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 14: my crucial catch. 741 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 2: It is so meaningful to you. 742 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 15: It's so meaning meaningful to me because my mom growing up, 743 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 15: my mom had breast cancer and she was battling that 744 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 15: almost you know, majority of my childhood and she was 745 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 15: able to beat it. And you know, cancer runs deep 746 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 15: in my family. My dad had cancer, my mom's mom 747 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 15: had cancer. And so I decided to partner with American 748 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 15: Cancer Society, you know, during this time, just because I 749 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 15: want to, you know, help other people who have cancer, 750 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 15: you know, be there for them, for their family members, 751 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 15: or you know, just just be there for them in general, 752 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 15: because I know how detrimental cancer can be, and shoot, 753 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 15: I hate it, to be honest. 754 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 2: So that's American can society is my you. 755 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: Know, that's awesome. The Crucial Catch campaign originally began with 756 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: the NFL recognizing that October was Breast cancer Awareness Month, 757 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: and then it grew to all cancers. But obviously for you, 758 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: this is an important one. It's great work that you're doing, 759 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: and you get a platform like this to talk about 760 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff when you play as well as 761 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: you have. So we need more interceptions, we need more 762 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: punch outs, and you need to get Dan Campbell to 763 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: make good. You got to break You better break down 764 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: the huddle. We better have a good practice and break 765 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: down the huddle tomorrow. 766 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 2: How about that? Right? Yes, sir, I got you there. 767 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: You go. Awesome, Brian, continued success.

Also great to 771 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: spend time with Adam Rank, who's going to talk about, 772 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, repairing and replacing guys in your lineup. You 773 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: know what, he's questionable himself. I'll explain it after the break. 774 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: Adam Rank joins the Insiders. Time now to repair and 775 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: replace your fantasy rosters presented by Safe Light. And now 776 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: for role, it's Adam Ranked. I mentioned before the break 777 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: that he was questionable. I actually said, don't say anything, 778 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: don't speak. I don't want to hear it because I 779 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: know that this voice right now is not the dulcet 780 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: tones of Adam Rank that we're used to. He's battling something, 781 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: but you know what, he's here, he's questionable. Any type 782 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: decision he's in. Adam Rank, how are you? 783 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 2: I wouldn't miss it. You know this is the thing. 784 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 16: You coach two soccer teams, you go on multiple shows, 785 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 16: you're up for Jimfy, you do the whole gamut on 786 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 16: a Friday. 787 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 2: But I'm here, I'm a gamer. 788 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 13: I'm ready to go. 789 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 16: Mikey g I wouldn't miss it. 790 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: Well, now you're to pull back the curtain completely. Now 791 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: you're making me feel terrible and about not agreeing to 792 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: retape this segment, so you can already be in bed 793 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: resting those vocal cords. My bad. But let's talk about 794 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: repairing and replacing some players at quarterback, running back, receiver 795 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: in your fantasy lineup. Let's start with the quarterbacks. 796 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 16: Well, if you were starting Caleb Williams or Dak Prescott 797 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 16: on your teams this week, you're going to have to 798 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 16: replace them. One of the suggestions I would have is 799 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,479 Speaker 16: Andy Dalton, who's played very well ever since he's become 800 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 16: the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers. He's had at 801 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 16: least two touchdown passes in three or four games this year. 802 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 16: And now he's going a real nice matchup against the 803 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 16: Washington Commanders, who've allowed the fifth most fantasy points to 804 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 16: the position this season. And the one cool thing about 805 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 16: the Commanders, they're so generous that they won't try to 806 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 16: take the ball away from you. 807 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 2: They'd have just one interception on the season. Now they've 808 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,479 Speaker 2: just let the quarterback throw it. I think it's very nice. 809 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 16: My high school career might have gotten a lot better 810 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 16: had opposing teams taken the same approach with me. 811 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: I got that one. I was already thinking of my 812 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: one liner, which is that another way to repair and 813 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: replace your lineup is to make a trade. And if 814 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: you're in Adam Ranks leagues. I assume you're in multiple leagues. 815 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: You are going to make a trade with Adham Rank. 816 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 1: You want to know why, because he's going to make 817 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: you an off when you can refuse. We're moving on 818 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: the running backs here. How do we repair and replace 819 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: at the running back position? 820 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 16: Well, you know what, again, there's injuries. There's a lot 821 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 16: of things going on with running backs. Travis ATMs, a 822 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 16: gay time decision, things like that. One of the players 823 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 16: that I really love is Tyrone Tracy. And this is 824 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,919 Speaker 16: the guy I remember when Tom was on the show 825 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 16: back in August. He's like, Ran, give me a running 826 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 16: back I need on my somebody I can bid a 827 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 16: dollar for my auction league. I said, take Tyrone Tracy. 828 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 16: This guy is going to be a player. And over 829 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 16: the last couple of weeks he's proven it. He's had 830 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 16: at least one hundred scrimmage yards in back to back games. 831 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 16: In each of those contests, he's had at least nineteen touches, 832 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 16: which lends itself to the production. The only problem is 833 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 16: Devin Singletary is now pull it up being like, yeah, 834 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 16: I'm ready to go.

I don't know. 845 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. 846 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 2: But no hats. 847 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 1: Brian Able like to wear hats, which is crazy because ball. 848 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 2: Gouts odd as a bald man. 849 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: I don't get that right right. And then training camp 850 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: in the broad daylight anyway, we're getting off tracker, like 851 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: what are you doing?

I'm committed to it, exactly. 856 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 1: Wide receivers repair and replace me, my friend. 857 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 2: You know, I love Lad McConkie. 858 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 16: He has been the most consistent wide receiver for the 859 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 16: LA Chargers, and one of the things about a Greg 860 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 16: Roman offense is there. He talks about the running like 861 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 16: they love to run the football. 862 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: That's evident. 863 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 16: But slot receivers have traditionally feasted in Greg Roman's offenses, 864 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 16: and we're seeing it this season with Ladd mccaukey. The 865 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 16: rookie is the most reliable guy. He's the player who 866 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 16: got who has the most targets, receptions, receiving yards, all 867 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 16: that good stuff. Again, with so many of the injury 868 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 16: report is just filled with wide receivers, Although we did 869 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 16: get some good news about Marvin Harrison junior. Malik Neighbors 870 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 16: looks like he's a goat. So it might not be 871 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 16: as repair and replace as it needs to be. But 872 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 16: if you're in a dire situation and I've got some 873 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 16: I have Dj Moore players like that, I've ceedee lamb 874 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 16: Lad McConkie has been a guy that I'm throwing into 875 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 16: the lineup this week and I'm not even worried about it. 876 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, what I think about your mcconkee call, I think 877 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: he's a fine lad.

What is your message 891 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 17: for those new fans? Why should they be supporting the Patriots? 892 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 18: First off, I think it comes with the team name, 893 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 18: you know, New England. I think it's easy for you know, 894 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 18: UK fans that you know, be attracted to that. You know, 895 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 18: our colors are pretty sweet, you know, they represent a 896 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 18: lot of different things. And then from there just I'm 897 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 18: kind of excitement from the team.
