Speaker 1: It's Friday, which means the practice week. Hey is in
Speaker 1: the barn. Who shoveled it in there for the Steelers?
Speaker 1: Was it that guy right there, Russell Wilson or was
Speaker 1: it justin fields. We'll talk about it coming up as
Speaker 1: the charade somehow continues joining us later in the program,
Speaker 1: This guy right here who I think just caught another
Speaker 1: pass against the Saints. It's Chris Godwin, Buccaneers wide receiver.
Speaker 1: You're gonna want to hear from him about all things
Speaker 1: football and what he's doing off the field for the
Speaker 1: Tampa area. And then this guy as well, joining us,
Speaker 1: Brian Branch who, yes, I think he just forced another
Speaker 1: turnover against the Cowboys. The Lions defensive back is with us.
Speaker 1: Later in the program. It is the Insiders for your
Speaker 1: Friday of week seven. As we are inching closer to Sunday,
Speaker 1: Judy Batista joining me Mike Garofalo, as we get you
Speaker 1: set for this weekend of NFL Action and look back
Speaker 1: at the last couple of days in the news that
Speaker 1: it brought us, including the news that really kind of
Speaker 1: sort of hit on Tuesday, or at least I think
Speaker 1: we thought it did. And somehow the Steelers are still
Speaker 1: playing this one along. Mike Tomlin sounded like he was
Speaker 1: gunning for Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: but now sort of walking it back and not quite
Speaker 1: confirming it even if Russ and George Pickens sort of did.
Speaker 2: It's the first game of the year for me.
Speaker 3: But you know, I've been fortunately, been a lot of
Speaker 3: first games, you know, so the confidence is there, obviously,
Speaker 3: and then obviously just being out with the guys.
Speaker 2: That's the fun part about this game. It's just playing the.
Speaker 3: Game you love and and doing the fiscal part of
Speaker 3: you know, getting an end zone hopefully, you know, let's
Speaker 3: score a bunch of touchdowns.
Speaker 4: Have you noticed him putting in extra time this week,
Speaker 4: maybe working with you one on one, just to try
Speaker 4: to get on the same page.
Speaker 1: Yeah, getting on the same page. I have to practice
Speaker 1: throwing more than morning usually because you know, this is
Speaker 1: first start. Mike, how did Russ look this week?
Speaker 5: And if you're.
Speaker 6: Ready to name a start, I am, but I'm just gonna,
Speaker 6: you know, keep that in house. But I thought he
Speaker 6: was sharp. I thought Justin was sharp as well. I
Speaker 6: thought we had a highly productive week from both guys
Speaker 6: and from the unit.
Speaker 4: As a whole, making a scenario still in play where
Speaker 4: you could use both quarterbacks.
Speaker 7: Certain how much hen put does Arthur have on these situations,
Speaker 7: just given that he's been game planning with Justin.
Speaker 1: For six weeks.
Speaker 6: I wear the decisions.
Speaker 1: He wears the decision Judy and Arthur Smith, who is
Speaker 1: being discussed there, the offensive coordinator said, whichever way Mike
Speaker 1: tells me to go or ready for both. Are ready
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson and we're ready for Justin fields. And
Speaker 1: speaking of both, you heard the question there in week
Speaker 1: one they were planning to use fields as well as
Speaker 1: part of a package of plays alongside Russell Wilson. So yes,
Speaker 1: you could see that. But Judy, again, I thought on
Speaker 1: Tuesday we had our answer. Here we are on Friday.
Speaker 1: We do think it's going to be Russell.
Speaker 8: Wilson, though, we do. But I really appreciate Mike Tomlin's
Speaker 8: commitment to this, to keeping it, trying to keep it
Speaker 8: in house, even though George Pickens is out there saying like, yes,
Speaker 8: I'm spending more time with him because he's making his
Speaker 8: first It's good that they're spending more time because presumably
Speaker 8: one of the reasons that Mike Tomlin wants to make
Speaker 8: this kind of unorthodox move at this point, is that
Speaker 8: he wants more out of the passing game. They are
Speaker 8: only twenty eighth in passing, they're twenty first in scoring.
Speaker 8: He clearly even think he wants more explosive plays, more
Speaker 8: downfield plays. It's not that Justin Fields did anything wrong. Really,
Speaker 8: he did a lot of right, but he just didn't
Speaker 8: do enough. It seems of what Mike Tomlin wants to see.
Speaker 8: I keep going back to what Tomlin said at the
Speaker 8: very beginning of the week where he said the offense
Speaker 8: has been good and Justin Fields has been good, which
Speaker 8: is not to be confused with great, and he said, like,
Speaker 8: you know, we want to be one of those teams.
Speaker 2: This is a competitive league.
Speaker 8: We want to be one of those teams. And so
Speaker 8: I feel like he is making this decision with the
Speaker 8: big picture in mind, that it's not just about winning
Speaker 8: games right now. It's he wants to be able to
Speaker 8: compete with the Ravens and the Chiefs and the Bills
Speaker 8: and those kinds of teams that he would have to
Speaker 8: face in the A playoffs.
Speaker 1: I understand that I do, and Russell Wilson certainly has
Speaker 1: more Skins on the wall has a Super Bowl ring
Speaker 1: as well, which Justin Fields does not have. But he's
Speaker 1: got to play error free, like he's got to make
Speaker 1: up for the ceiling that he doesn't have that Justin
Speaker 1: Fields has. And the fact that I think that offensive
Speaker 1: staff felt like they were building toward making Justin Fields
Speaker 1: a dynamic quarterback who also is playing the position the
Speaker 1: right way. That's what they've been working on with him.
Speaker 1: So for Russell Wilson to sort of bend him off,
Speaker 1: he's got to back up Mike Tomlin's confidence and for
Speaker 1: that it's got to be error free football, which he
Speaker 1: did not necessarily show them in the spring and into
Speaker 1: the summer. So a fascinating storyline to watch there in
Speaker 1: western Pennsylvania as the Jets come in and try to
Speaker 1: get their third win of the season against Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: We know for a fact that it'll be this guy
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson who missed the last two games with an
Speaker 1: oblique injury. Shane Stike in the head coach excuse me
Speaker 1: saying that, yes, he is going to be the guy
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. Good to go the highly drafted youngster
Speaker 1: versus the well highly drafted veteran who's been around for
Speaker 1: quite some time in Joe Flacco, who certainly put again
Speaker 1: that he is still a capable quarterback at this point
Speaker 1: of his career at Judy. We do know that Richardson,
Speaker 1: just like Russell Wilson, going to have to play well
Speaker 1: because we know what the backup option is.
Speaker 8: Well, this is again you just were talking about justin
Speaker 8: field steiling. Anthony Richardson has a really high ceiling, the
Speaker 8: Colts think, and they want to see him reach it.
Speaker 8: This is all about getting Richardson on the field, hopefully
Speaker 8: keeping him on the fields and developing him.
Speaker 2: He's barely played.
Speaker 8: He barely played last year, he's barely played this year,
Speaker 8: and he's already missed time. I don't think there's much
Speaker 8: argument that right at this moment Joe Flacco is the
Speaker 8: better quarterback. He's still playing really well. But this is
Speaker 8: all about the future of the Colts and that future
Speaker 8: is Anthony Richardson, and they need him playing and playing
Speaker 8: consistently and hopefully playing week after week so that he
Speaker 8: can into the franchise quarterback they believe he is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're talking. I mean, you make a great point.
Speaker 1: He's still in that portion of his career where he
Speaker 1: needs to get reps. This is the guy who came
Speaker 1: in from college and did not have that experience. That
Speaker 1: was one of the knocks against him. So we're still
Speaker 1: at the point where he's got to get more football
Speaker 1: under his belt and learn how to play quarterback at
Speaker 1: the NFL level. Okay, those are a couple of decisions
Speaker 1: and injury situations that we've been following, as are these
Speaker 1: right here Aaron Jones. The fact that he's I mean
Speaker 1: that one looked really bad when he suffered it in
Speaker 1: London's the fact that he is questionable at this point
Speaker 1: and on the likely side of playing it is a
Speaker 1: great sign for the Vikings as a head into that
Speaker 1: game against the Lions. Nick Chubb, what a great story.
Speaker 1: We saw his emotion as his teammates were hooting and
Speaker 1: hollering while he was meeting with the media. They are
Speaker 1: excited to have him back in Cleveland. Milik Neighbors got
Speaker 1: that clearance for the concussion on Thursday. The groin issue
Speaker 1: that popped up not a major deal as well. And
Speaker 1: then there's Cooper Cup questionable to play against the Raiders.
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on his status as we get
Speaker 1: closer to Sunday. The Broncos aren't playing Sunday. They're already done.
Speaker 1: They already Dubbeday. There you go. They're marching down Bourbon Street.
Speaker 1: The Broncos love to do this after victories to kind
Speaker 1: of troll the opponent and hey, we came into your
Speaker 1: territory with carrying your flags up your most famous street.
Speaker 1: I wonder where they got the local musicians there, certainly
Speaker 1: not Broncos fans, I'm sure. Here was Sean Payton after
Speaker 1: the game greeting some of his former players, including Alvin
Speaker 1: Kamara and lip Readers Unite. I think we got a
Speaker 1: couple of folks saying come get me or get me,
Speaker 1: you know, trade for me. From my understanding, he was
Speaker 1: just greeting him and just saying hello. Now that being said,
Speaker 1: this is an interesting one to watch because Kamara does
Speaker 1: have another year left on his contract. However, it's a
Speaker 1: balloon year that was just meant to inflate the contract
Speaker 1: when he signed it the last time with the sat
Speaker 1: so it's really not a real year. He is in
Speaker 1: the final year of his contract. So the Saints now
Speaker 1: have let's say a little more than two weeks now,
Speaker 1: Judy to get a deal done with him, or make
Speaker 1: a decision, this is the guy we want to trade
Speaker 1: and get some value for because we potentially could lose
Speaker 1: him as a free agent. You always get the well
Speaker 1: if we lose it with a free agent, we can
Speaker 1: get the cop pick back, but sometimes you want the
Speaker 1: compensation now, So certainly is one we're keeping an eye
Speaker 1: on Judy to see if either the Saints could come
Speaker 1: to an agreement on a deal with him or maybe
Speaker 1: consider dealing him elsewhere.
Speaker 8: Well, and you could also see why Alvin Kamara might
Speaker 8: want to rejoin Sean Payton because he was super productive
Speaker 8: when Sean Crayton was there in New Orleans, right, I
Speaker 8: mean he fit perfectly to what Sean Payton likes to do,
Speaker 8: which not only includes running the ball, but throwing the
Speaker 8: ball to running backs out of the backfield. And Kamerica
Speaker 8: can do that and they don't really have that kind
Speaker 8: of person in Denver right now. But you know, I
Speaker 8: just go back to the Saints who started the season
Speaker 8: so so hot, and how quickly it has unraveled with
Speaker 8: so many injuries, and certainly if they deal Kamara now
Speaker 8: and you know, don't get a deal done with him,
Speaker 8: I mean that is presumably waiving the white flag on
Speaker 8: this season, especially the way things have gone in the
Speaker 8: last few weeks. That's a tough decision to make for
Speaker 8: the Saints. At this moment. We still have a few
Speaker 8: weeks to go, but certainly the way they've gone the
Speaker 8: last few weeks, with all the injuries and the results
Speaker 8: they've had, you know, they got a big decision to
Speaker 8: make here in the next two weeks or so.
Speaker 1: Now. A lot of times when you see a player
Speaker 1: get to Week one and say that's it, either you
Speaker 1: get a deal done by then, or I'm not doing
Speaker 1: a deal during the season. From my understanding, this was
Speaker 1: not one of those situations. So potential contract extension is
Speaker 1: still in play for Kamara before the end of the season,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's what the Saints could use to kind
Speaker 1: of stop this negative momentum and maybe spit it forward
Speaker 1: to show that there's hope for the future. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the future, that is where Max Crosby is looking. The
Speaker 1: Raiders All pro defensive end spoke to the media this
Speaker 1: week and he was asked about, well, DeVante Adams got traded,
Speaker 1: could you potentially be next? Listen to his words, but
Speaker 1: also look in his eyes when he's talking here, I'm
Speaker 1: not here to rebuild. I'm here to win.
Speaker 9: So you know, I don't know whatever that means, but yeah,
Speaker 9: I'm here to win now, and whoever I'm gonna be,
Speaker 9: I'm you know, I'm going to be here to win.
Speaker 9: So that's all that matters to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: A lot of bread crumbs there, Judy, a lot of
Speaker 1: bread crumbs scattered, I would say. My interpretation, and from
Speaker 1: talking to folks who know what Max Crosby means to
Speaker 1: the Raiders and what the Raiders mean to Max Crosby,
Speaker 1: my interpretation is I think he'd much prefer to stay there,
Speaker 1: but understands that DeVante Adams being traded, the fact that
Speaker 1: they don't really have a long term solution at quarterback,
Speaker 1: like this could be a slow rebuild and if that's
Speaker 1: the case, at twenty seven years old, Max Crosby kind
Speaker 1: of saying, if you're going to do that, I don't
Speaker 1: have time for that, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I thought the look on his Facebook sort of resignation
Speaker 8: more than anything that like, oh gosh, this is.
Speaker 1: Going to be a tough situation.
Speaker 8: Let's just go back a few days. Mark Davis at
Speaker 8: the owners meeting earlier this week in Atlanta, was asked
Speaker 8: about ex Crossman. He said, it's not happy, meaning they
Speaker 8: are not going to trade him now. Of course that
Speaker 8: was a few days ago. That was before Max Crosby
Speaker 8: said what he just said. And certainly we'll see how
Speaker 8: the next few games go to see if their future changes.
Speaker 1: In Las Vegas.
Speaker 8: But you know, again again, once you see a DeVante
Speaker 8: Adams sent out, and obviously DeVante Adams wanted to be.
Speaker 2: Sent out, but once.
Speaker 8: You see the organization make that decision, that's a pretty
Speaker 8: strong signal about the way things are going. Obviously, the
Speaker 8: quarterback situation is not great there right now. They're not
Speaker 8: winning a ton of games, They're not playing very well.
Speaker 8: You can understand if Max Crosby is, you know, sort
Speaker 8: of taking a deep breath and saying, I'd like to
Speaker 8: be here, but this is not really what I signed
Speaker 8: up for and it is not how I want to
Speaker 8: spend the next few seasons.
Speaker 1: Quick turnarounds are possible. I mean, look, the Texans got
Speaker 1: themselves a quarterback and c. J. Stroud went to the
Speaker 1: playoffs immediately the next year expected to be an even
Speaker 1: more dangerous contender, So it can happen. But I think
Speaker 1: the Raiders owe it to Max Crosby to be honest
Speaker 1: with him right now as the trade deadline is approp
Speaker 1: because if it's not going to happen and fully this offseason,
Speaker 1: then make the move now and get him where he
Speaker 1: can get to a competitive team, and if it is
Speaker 1: going to happen, follow through it. They owe it to
Speaker 1: Max Crosby, and I'll say they owe it to head
Speaker 1: coach Antonio Pierce at some point, like he's got to
Speaker 1: have a roster to show whether he's got the chops
Speaker 1: to be a long term head coach in the NFL
Speaker 1: or not. Chris Godwin, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver,
Speaker 1: has shown the chops to be a successful receiver in
Speaker 1: this league for quite some time. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: to him about that, about the Bucks right now, and
Speaker 1: about the state of Tampa following the Hurricanes and what
Speaker 1: he is doing to help.
Speaker 10: Good staff pastor the Anzel cloughckball touched down Tampa Bay.
Speaker 10: Chris Godwin's got it. How the bucket of your score
Speaker 10: on the opening possession for the third game.
Speaker 1: In a row, Mayfield throws an absolute rope to get
Speaker 1: it in there.
Speaker 10: Emotion Godwin play action fake Mayfield, looks downfield, throws a
Speaker 10: clot ball all the left side out of fross the
Speaker 10: fifty to the forty five is Godwin. He breaks another tackle,
Speaker 10: Godway down the sideline upside of the numbers on the
Speaker 10: ten five free, two one touchdown, Tampa Bay. Chris Godwin
Speaker 10: fought through a tackle, got his balance and scoots fifty
Speaker 10: five yards to the promised land.
Speaker 1: You know, the play doesn't end when he catches the ball.
Speaker 1: He's like a running back out there, and a physical
Speaker 1: running back out there in open space. Chris Godwin on
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, joining us Durning, Judy Batista, and
Speaker 1: myself Mike Garrolfalo here after his big game on Sunday.
Speaker 1: What was that game like? Because that thing just opened
Speaker 1: up and all of a sudden points left and right.
Speaker 1: You being an offensive guy, certainly scoring more than the
Speaker 1: other team as well, helps. What was that game like
Speaker 1: on Sunday?
Speaker 2: Man? It was, honestly, it was a crazy game.
Speaker 4: We started off like really really hot and then hit
Speaker 4: a bit of a lull there in the second quarter,
Speaker 4: has some bad turnovers and some uncharacteristic penalties, but we
Speaker 4: bought the diversity, man, and then turned it on in
Speaker 4: that second half, things like twenty seven to the points,
Speaker 4: gritty win by the guys.
Speaker 8: All right, Well, you have personally not hit a lot
Speaker 8: at all the season. You lead the league in receptions
Speaker 8: and in yards after catch. Obviously, you and Baker seem
Speaker 8: to have a great connection. What's working for you and
Speaker 8: Baker this year so well?
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, I just think our second year of
Speaker 4: working together, I think we've gone through some highs and
Speaker 4: some of those and just in terms of like learning
Speaker 4: like what each other are looking for. But I think
Speaker 4: like both of us were very smart players and at
Speaker 4: the end of the day, we're just trying to win.
Speaker 4: So I think we have a good connection going, but
Speaker 4: that that goes with a lot of hard work and
Speaker 4: a lot of time put in. So I'm excited about
Speaker 4: where we are, but I know that there's a lot
Speaker 4: more in store for us.
Speaker 1: A new offensive coordinator this year in Liam Cohen. Maybe
Speaker 1: a lot of folks around the league don't know enough
Speaker 1: about him. Time for him to get a little bit
Speaker 1: of his flowers right here from you, because you guys
Speaker 1: have been playing well offensively and he's been pushing the
Speaker 1: right button. Certainly did on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, man, I mean Leam. He's a football
Speaker 4: guy man, Like I think every than he does. He's
Speaker 4: focused on trying to be better and trying to improve
Speaker 4: us as an offense. And that was something that we
Speaker 4: could tell back in OTAs like the way that he
Speaker 4: thinks about ball. He tries to things up to get
Speaker 4: guys open. But he's also what we've learned the first
Speaker 4: couple of weeks of the season is he's really good
Speaker 4: at making adjustments and trying to attack where defenses are
Speaker 4: a little bit vulnerable. So I think I love having
Speaker 4: him as an offensive coordinator, and I think the rest
Speaker 4: of the guys feel that same way.
Speaker 8: You've got the Ravens this week, and they are a
Speaker 8: very high scoring team. I think their fourth in the
Speaker 8: league in scoring. You guys are second in the league
Speaker 8: in scoring. But does that put more of an onus
Speaker 8: on the offense when you know it's probably going to
Speaker 8: be an explosive offensive game.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't really look at it that way.
Speaker 4: I think that when you go into a game where
Speaker 4: you have two really good teams, right, like you really
Speaker 4: just expected to be a battle and like, yeah, like
Speaker 4: both offense are putting up points. But we also both
Speaker 4: have really good defenses, so there's no really telling how
Speaker 4: the game will go. I think you kind of go
Speaker 4: to the mentality understanding that it's going to be a fight.
Speaker 4: And if you go in there expecting the battle for
Speaker 4: four quarters or more, I think that you put yourself
Speaker 4: in a great mental space of God and compete because,
Speaker 4: like you know, in any game right at this level,
Speaker 4: like it can go up and go down, but as
Speaker 4: long as you you know, you don't falter and you
Speaker 4: stay within like the confise of your game plan, I
Speaker 4: think that you'll be good.
Speaker 1: You got we'll get the final injury report. Excuse me
Speaker 1: on Saturday right now. Mike Evans out of practice the
Speaker 1: last couple of days, the big guy, do you have
Speaker 1: to you know, hey, listen, Mike, we need you out there,
Speaker 1: number one, but number two, we got a thousand yard
Speaker 1: streak that you got going in your career that we
Speaker 1: got to keep going. How much encouragement you give them
Speaker 1: to battle through and get out.
Speaker 2: There, man?
Speaker 4: I think you always give Mike encouragement, man, like whenever
Speaker 4: he's out there on the field with us, like good,
Speaker 4: that's good for the Bucks, right, Like it's been that
Speaker 4: way for ten years now and it will continue to
Speaker 4: be that way.
Speaker 2: He's just such a dominant player.
Speaker 4: But I think the biggest thing right for players is
Speaker 4: just like their health, right Like, there's a long season
Speaker 4: and you never really know like what things guys are
Speaker 4: dealing with. So I like we trust like at this
Speaker 4: point and to know his body and to know what
Speaker 4: he can deal with, and you know, if he's able
Speaker 4: to go on Sunday, Like I said, that's big for
Speaker 4: the Bucks, all right.
Speaker 8: The Ravens game is the start of a really tough
Speaker 8: stretch in your schedule. You got the Ravens, then you've
Speaker 8: got the Falcons, and then you've got both Super Bowl
Speaker 8: teams back to back Chiefs and Niners. How do you
Speaker 8: approach a stretch like this where you know it's a
Speaker 8: proving ground for your team and maybe a make or
Speaker 8: break stretch in the season.
Speaker 4: I mean to be honest, we can't look past, you know,
Speaker 4: any game, right Like, yes, it's a tough stretch coming
Speaker 4: up right here, but like each game is very very
Speaker 4: important and not just like for this stretch, but for
Speaker 4: like the duration of our season, right Like, we're still
Speaker 4: trying to put together four great quarters of football, which
Speaker 4: we haven't done yet, and so we just got to
Speaker 4: take it one game at a time, right, Like, we
Speaker 4: have a really big game come up here Monday night
Speaker 4: versus the Ravens, and like they're a very, very tough opponents,
Speaker 4: so we got to focus on that. And I think
Speaker 4: if we just take it one week at a time,
Speaker 4: I think that will be a much better shape than
Speaker 4: if we're trying to jected out into the future.
Speaker 1: The Team Godwin Foundation, it is a cool and unique founded.
Speaker 1: I will let you you tell us what the what
Speaker 1: the foundation does, and I want to know specifically what
Speaker 1: you have done with regard to the recent hurricane relief
Speaker 1: efforts through your foundation.
Speaker 2: Chris, Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: The Team Godwin Foundation, right, Like, we're centered around supporting
Speaker 4: rescue dogs. We're big on trying to get people to
Speaker 4: adopt their dogs instead of buying them.
Speaker 2: And we've done a lot of work.
Speaker 4: With a lot of local shelters over the course of
Speaker 4: my time here in Tampa just in support them, like financially,
Speaker 4: trying to help dogs with like whatever medical needs that
Speaker 4: they have, trying to keep dogs with their families, and
Speaker 4: then trying to like help import dogs from places where
Speaker 4: they were they're in like a kill zone like in
Speaker 4: terms of like their shelters to allow them to prolong
Speaker 4: their lives as long as possible, to be able to
Speaker 4: get adopted and then specifically from these hurricanes.
Speaker 2: Like, we're just trying to do whatever we can to
Speaker 2: help in our area, right, just like a lot of guys.
Speaker 4: And part of that has been our MVP initiative, which
Speaker 4: is the most Valuable Pet Initiative, and that's really We've
Speaker 4: donated fifty thousand dollars to this and the biggest part
Speaker 4: of it really is just support our local shelters and
Speaker 4: our rescue partners to try to help like our displaced
Speaker 4: dogs because people like people's pets get displaced on storms,
Speaker 4: and then help them find like fossil location for them,
Speaker 4: help pay for medical bills, and again all of it
Speaker 4: is just aimed to try to help keep dogs like
Speaker 4: with their families so that people can, you know, can
Speaker 4: continue to have their pets with them.
Speaker 1: That is great work you're doing, and I know you
Speaker 1: say wee. So let's give Chris Godwin his props for that,
Speaker 1: but also your wife, Mariah, a co founder of the foundation.
Speaker 1: Let's give her some love for what she is doing
Speaker 1: as well. Chris. We appreciate I know, in addition to
Speaker 1: the relief efforts, when you win a game in the
Speaker 1: middle of a hurricane relief, I know that helps a
Speaker 1: lot of folks around the community. So you provided that
Speaker 1: this past week. Congratulations on that. Best of luck to
Speaker 1: you and the Bucks going forward.
Speaker 2: Awesome. Thank you guys very much. Hope you got your seat.
Speaker 1: Thank you Chris. We always appreciate spending time with him,
Speaker 1: and always appreciate when a Super Bowl rematch pops up
Speaker 1: in the regular season. We got that coming up. Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Da Brian Baldinger are going to join us to talk
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: Do you like football?
Speaker 1: Do you like London? Do you like football in London? Well,
Speaker 1: this is your chance, last chance in the twenty four season.
Speaker 1: The Patriots face the Jaguars in the London Finale. Rise,
Speaker 1: Shine and watch this Sunday at nine thirty am Eastern
Speaker 1: only on the NFL Network and NFL Plus subscription required
Speaker 1: for NFL Plus. Steve Weish, I think he's got dual
Speaker 1: citizenship by this point. He's been covering both teams this week.
Speaker 1: Has the latest from London all.
Speaker 11: Right, Hitting into Sunday's game at Wembley Stadium. A lot
Speaker 11: of running back news with the Patriots and the Jaguars,
Speaker 11: and let's start right there. At Jacksonville at starting running
Speaker 11: back Travis Etn, he will be a game time decision,
Speaker 11: according to head coach Doug Peterson, as Etn is dealing
Speaker 11: with the hamstring injury that he sustained last Sunday against
Speaker 11: the Bears. He has been limited all week now. If
Speaker 11: he can't go, it'll be leading rusher Tent Bigsby who
Speaker 11: will start, and he'll be spelled on passing situations by
Speaker 11: d Ernest Johnson. Now for the new England Patriots running
Speaker 11: back from Andre Stevenson, who hasn't practiced for much of
Speaker 11: the week, he'll also be a game time decision. And lastly,
Speaker 11: on injury news for the Jaguars, cornerback Tyson Campbell, who's
Speaker 11: missed the past five games with a hamstring injury, will
Speaker 11: be activated to the active roster and will likely start
Speaker 11: and be a welcome return to the Jaguars defense.
Speaker 8: Week seven bunch of blockbuster matchups. Hard to top this one, though,
Speaker 8: a Super Bowl rematch Chiefs forty nine ers Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 8: The entire nation is going to be watching and the
Speaker 8: forty nine ers got some absolutely amazing news this week
Speaker 8: in preparation for this game. That's wide receiver Ricky Pursol.
Speaker 8: He is going to be active for Sunday's game against
Speaker 8: the Chiefs. It's just about seven weeks since he.
Speaker 2: Was shot in the chest. He is back.
Speaker 8: It's just wonderful news. Great to see him back on
Speaker 8: the field and healthy. And now let's bring in some
Speaker 8: guys to talk about this game.
Speaker 3: Ore.
Speaker 8: I'm Jeffrey Chidia and Brian Baldinger. Jeffrey, let me start
Speaker 8: with you. We know about the wide receiver situation with
Speaker 8: the Kansas City Chiefs. Sometimes it looks pretty dire there,
Speaker 8: Hollywood Brown, Rashie Rice not with them. How important does
Speaker 8: that make Juju Smith Schuster to that team right now?
Speaker 2: It makes it critical Judy that he plays in this game.
Speaker 7: You know, he had a hamstring injury earlier this week,
Speaker 7: so there was some question about whether he's going to
Speaker 7: be out there, and he still is listed asked questionable.
Speaker 7: But he's come in here and made a huge splash.
Speaker 7: You know, when they signed him, they told me he
Speaker 7: was going to be a packaged player. But last week
Speaker 7: had the big game where He had seven catches for
Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty yards, and offensive coordinator Matt and
Speaker 7: Maggie talked about just how important it is for him
Speaker 7: to be a part of this offense. He's running a
Speaker 7: lot of the same routes that Rashid Rice ran, but
Speaker 7: he also has that trust factor that makes him a
Speaker 7: very valuable target for Patrick Mahomes. They're running out of receivers,
Speaker 7: as you said, but Juju Bie here Baldy is making
Speaker 7: a big difference for this offense, no.
Speaker 1: Question about it.
Speaker 5: Over one hundred yards against the New Orleans Saints, you know,
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago, and you know they're running
Speaker 5: out of running backs too, you know, I mean Isaiah
Speaker 5: Pacheco goes down, they pick up Kareem Hunt. He makes
Speaker 5: a start against the Saints and goes for over one
Speaker 5: hundred yards like he did. He looked like he did
Speaker 5: his rookie season when he was the rookie of the
Speaker 5: Year and led the league in rushing the way he
Speaker 5: was breaking tackles and running right behind Tooney and Creed,
Speaker 5: Humphrey and Trey Smith Creed out there leading away right now.
Speaker 5: But it's interesting to me, Jeff, is that any red
Speaker 5: in twenty five years of his business. Has always been
Speaker 5: a pass first guy and run late in the game
Speaker 5: to win the game. But because of the injuries to
Speaker 5: wide receiver and because of the pass game hasn't been
Speaker 5: as electric as they wanted it to be, they've kind
Speaker 5: of leaned on the run game, and so they're almost
Speaker 5: fifty to fifty right now run pass for the first
Speaker 5: time in Andy Reid's career. So you know you're going
Speaker 5: to see cream Hunt, You're going to see some A. J. P. Ryan,
Speaker 5: maybe some Carson Steel. It won't surprise me against kind
Speaker 5: of a beat up San Francisco interior where you know,
Speaker 5: obviously they have a replaced a linebacker from the last year,
Speaker 5: and you know Javon Hargrave goes down. I could see
Speaker 5: Kansas City attacking just a belly of that forty nine
Speaker 5: or defense right now with that rushing attack.
Speaker 8: Baldy, you're going to be calling this game. So I
Speaker 8: know that me and Chief and studying a rock party.
Speaker 8: What is the key to him solving if anything can
Speaker 8: be solved with Steve Spagnolo's defense.
Speaker 5: Well, you know he knows that Spags is going to
Speaker 5: come after him in some unorthodox ways. When you at
Speaker 5: least expected zero blitzes, you know, blitzes from the safety
Speaker 5: in the corner position. Nobody times it better than Steve Spagnol.
Speaker 5: He's a master at it, so he knows it's coming.
Speaker 5: The key really is I mean, he's got great movement
Speaker 5: and ability to escape. But the key to me, I
Speaker 5: think in this game, because it went against him in
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, is they got to stay on the field.
Speaker 5: They've got to convert third downs.
Speaker 1: They've been excellent this year.
Speaker 5: They're fifth or sixth in the league about forty six
Speaker 5: percent right now, which is a good number. They need
Speaker 5: to complete that kind of number against Kansas City, to
Speaker 5: stay on the field, to be able to handle some
Speaker 5: of those blitzes and burn them on those blitzes, because
Speaker 5: nothing stops a coordinator like Steve Spagnola more from coming
Speaker 5: after you than if you sting them on one or
Speaker 5: two of those. And I think, you know, just being
Speaker 5: alert pre snap reads kind of looking at some of
Speaker 5: the trends.
Speaker 2: That they might have seen this year.
Speaker 5: Now they've had two weeks get ready, but still I
Speaker 5: think Rock Purty pre Snap is going to be critical
Speaker 5: and how he handles the blitzes when they come after
Speaker 5: him because they're going to come.
Speaker 8: Right Jeffrey, we know the Chiefs offense has been less
Speaker 8: productive than we're used to seeing so far this season,
Speaker 8: and now they have to look at Nick Bosa across
Speaker 8: the line of script from them.
Speaker 1: What kind of problems does he present to them?
Speaker 7: Yeah, really bad timing for Nick Bosa to show up
Speaker 7: on the schedule, because Baldi knows this.
Speaker 12: This is the guy who's a one man wrecking crew.
Speaker 12: He had fourteen pressures last against Seattle. In that Super
Speaker 12: Bowl that Baldi referenced, he had twelve pressures in that game,
Speaker 12: and so the Chiefs know what to expect from him.
Speaker 12: The problem that they have right now is offensive tackle
Speaker 12: has definitely become a weak spot for them. On the
Speaker 12: left side, they're playing Wanya Morris in place of Kinkle
Speaker 12: Sua Mataiya. On the right side, that got Juwan Taylor,
Speaker 12: who's second in the league in penalties right now, and
Speaker 12: so it's really a tough combination to deal with a
Speaker 12: guy like Bosa. And Andy Reid talked about how they
Speaker 12: know they're going through some growing pain with these guys
Speaker 12: and they believe in their talent, but they.
Speaker 2: Really got to get it done this week because Nick
Speaker 2: Bosa is coming.
Speaker 8: I cannot wait for this game. You know, when the
Speaker 8: schedule comes out in May, you circle the games you
Speaker 8: can't wait for. This is one of them that I
Speaker 8: have had circled since all the way back in the spring. Baldy, Jeffrey,
Speaker 8: thanks so much to both of you. And look, here's
Speaker 8: the formula for getting invited to be a guest on
Speaker 8: The Insiders.
Speaker 1: You come here after you have a big game.
Speaker 8: We already heard from Chris Godwin, and now it's Brian
Speaker 8: Branch's turn after he picked off Dak Prescott twice. We're
Speaker 8: gonna talk to Brian Branch when we return on The Insiders.
Speaker 13: This player came out to me last week and he said, hey, coach,
Speaker 13: if I get a takeaway, can I break the team
Speaker 13: down next week? And I said, if you get two,
Speaker 13: you can break him down all week. Well he got
Speaker 13: more than that. Man, all right, this guy had six
Speaker 13: times because that PBu two PBUs. He had intercepts, two
Speaker 13: interceptions and then one punch out.
Speaker 1: Man bb b B is Brian Branch, the Lions defensive
Speaker 1: back joining Ian Rappaport, who's popping in here to do
Speaker 1: this interview alongside me. Here Mike Garafalo, Brian, thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us. The first question off the bet. You
Speaker 1: know you had that verbal contract there that you could
Speaker 1: break down the team for the entire week. Has Dan
Speaker 1: Campbell delivered on that?
Speaker 13: He?
Speaker 2: Uh, today he didn't allow me break it down. But
Speaker 2: I feel I know why. I kind of had a
Speaker 2: bad practice in a way, but he broke his promise
Speaker 2: on that in a way.
Speaker 14: Well, so I want to kind of go back to that.
Speaker 14: You know, Dan Campbell gives unbelievable post win speeches. I
Speaker 14: know this because we seem to show them all the time.
Speaker 14: Winning is great, and being able to break down the
Speaker 14: team when after you get a game ball is great.
Speaker 14: But what is it like in that locker room? Everyone's
Speaker 14: all jacked up? You're hearing Campbell give his speeches, Like
Speaker 14: what is that post win environment like for you guys.
Speaker 14: You've got a bunch of them already.
Speaker 15: H We all fired up knowing that you know, shooting
Speaker 15: this league it is hard to come by with a win,
Speaker 15: and for us to get a win, everybody you know
Speaker 15: is shoot, we all pumped up, and that's that's the environment.
Speaker 2: We've got. Everybody got great chemistry and just shoot, we
Speaker 2: want that win.
Speaker 1: Ther performance against Dallas and you can see it down
Speaker 1: the bottom there, two interceptions, two passes, the fenst Ford fubble,
Speaker 1: six tackles, quarterback hit earns you what you see also
Speaker 1: above there the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. We
Speaker 1: saw that Forest fumble. There the punch out, which guys
Speaker 1: seem to be getting better at. It seemed like it
Speaker 1: was only Peanut Tilman that did it back in the day.
Speaker 1: What feels better grabbing the interception and punching that thing
Speaker 1: out and tell me how you practice that during the week.
Speaker 2: I feel like the punch out is better. To be honest,
Speaker 2: I kind of got it.
Speaker 15: I've been watching Frail Warner and he like, we do
Speaker 15: a turnover tap every week before our games, and he's
Speaker 15: on there every every week punching the ball out, And
Speaker 15: I feel like that that feels better than an intercession
Speaker 15: because it's almost you, you creating that play and you
Speaker 15: you getting that ball out, and it ain't nothing nothing
Speaker 15: better than getting that ball out.
Speaker 2: I mean that Look, that is a thing of beauty
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 14: I want to go back to the You get an
Speaker 14: NFC Defensive Player of the Week, which is very cool.
Speaker 14: Congratulations On the other side, Will Anderson, your good friend
Speaker 14: got AFC Defensive Player of the Week. How quickly did
Speaker 14: it take you to get to your phone send him
Speaker 14: a text? I mean, I assume you guys are still
Speaker 14: keeping in touch or you competitive, Like, how does that work?
Speaker 15: When I found out that he got it too, that's
Speaker 15: that's crazy to me. Just you know, somebody you grew
Speaker 15: up with, and the fact that we both are able
Speaker 15: to perform like that and do have one of our
Speaker 15: best games in the same week. You know that speak
Speaker 15: numbers about us. And I'm also super proud of him.
Speaker 15: He really to goat on. Just wish you keep going.
Speaker 15: And yeah, really when.
Speaker 1: We talk about the Lions, we talk so much about
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, and for good reason. He's one of the
Speaker 1: great personalities around the league and he's proven to be
Speaker 1: a really, really good head coach. But I want to
Speaker 1: talk about your defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn because I want
Speaker 1: to give him some shine for what he has done
Speaker 1: alongside Campbell. Give me, give me the best thing about
Speaker 1: playing for Aaron Glenn as a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: He going one.
Speaker 15: He didn't play football before, you know, he didn't had
Speaker 15: about forty plus picks and he knows what it takes.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 15: You know, you know how hard it is to be
Speaker 15: the deepest back for one. But as a defense coordinator,
Speaker 15: he puts us in the right spots to make plays.
Speaker 15: And he always tells us that he gonna put us
Speaker 15: in the right spot for us to make plays. We
Speaker 15: just got to, you know, take advantage of the opportunity.
Speaker 15: And you know, I love playing for AG just because,
Speaker 15: like shooting, it's more than just football.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 15: He he's a real coach. You know, he can relate
Speaker 15: to you and he understands and he just he treats
Speaker 15: everybody the same. So that's what you want in a coach.
Speaker 14: And you guys are getting some big time recognition across
Speaker 14: the NFL for the kind of performance you have on defense,
Speaker 14: like you did last week against the Cowboys with that beatdown.
Speaker 14: Aaron Glenn also getting a lot of notice around the
Speaker 14: league as well.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, this week, you guys got a big one.
Speaker 14: You face the undefeated Viking still undefeated. Uh, it's gonna
Speaker 14: be an excellent game. Obviously you've done a full week
Speaker 14: of tape study. They cut some they got some weapons.
Speaker 14: How do you see that match up? Breaking down and
Speaker 14: what are some of the more important things you guys
Speaker 14: got to get accomplished against Minnesota.
Speaker 2: We know they got weapons.
Speaker 15: They got Jju one of the best receivers in the league,
Speaker 15: if not the best receiver in the league. They also
Speaker 15: have a great wide receiver two in Jordan Addison, who
Speaker 15: could be a wide receiver one any other teams.
Speaker 2: Just really stopping those two guys. I don't feel like
Speaker 2: we're really too worried about the run game.
Speaker 15: Just you know, they got they take shots, and we
Speaker 15: got to beat and we got to be on our
Speaker 15: piece of cubes and back end this week like no other.
Speaker 2: Uh, just to stop that.
Speaker 15: So they give us a lot of tough challenges in
Speaker 15: their office, especially in their offensive scheme too, by the
Speaker 15: way they run a lot of different routes almost like
Speaker 15: the Rams and how they do stuff. They have a
Speaker 15: great quarterback, Sam Darnold. He's playing really good football right now.
Speaker 2: So we just got to be us though. When the
Speaker 2: ball and the air was you got to go get it.
Speaker 1: Do you guys, I know you're looking each week who
Speaker 1: your opponent is, but do you guys look at this
Speaker 1: division because this is a game for a potential share
Speaker 1: of first place in the NFC North, but if you lose,
Speaker 1: it could be a share of last. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: how tight this thing is, and that's how good the
Speaker 1: records are in the NFC North. Do you think about
Speaker 1: that at all? Do you kind of watch that a
Speaker 1: little bit as you're preparing each week?
Speaker 15: We know how important this game is, especially just like
Speaker 15: you said, they're in our division. We just try to
Speaker 15: play every game each each week is you know, a
Speaker 15: different opponent, no matter if they're in a division or not,
Speaker 15: we still have the same mentality for each opponent.
Speaker 14: I don't want to take this off the field a
Speaker 14: little bit. We know that cancer has hit your family hard.
Speaker 14: Please share with us and the viewers your experience and
Speaker 14: my crucial catch.
Speaker 2: It is so meaningful to you.
Speaker 15: It's so meaning meaningful to me because my mom growing up,
Speaker 15: my mom had breast cancer and she was battling that
Speaker 15: almost you know, majority of my childhood and she was
Speaker 15: able to beat it. And you know, cancer runs deep
Speaker 15: in my family. My dad had cancer, my mom's mom
Speaker 15: had cancer. And so I decided to partner with American
Speaker 15: Cancer Society, you know, during this time, just because I
Speaker 15: want to, you know, help other people who have cancer,
Speaker 15: you know, be there for them, for their family members,
Speaker 15: or you know, just just be there for them in general,
Speaker 15: because I know how detrimental cancer can be, and shoot,
Speaker 15: I hate it, to be honest.
Speaker 2: So that's American can society is my you.
Speaker 1: Know, that's awesome. The Crucial Catch campaign originally began with
Speaker 1: the NFL recognizing that October was Breast cancer Awareness Month,
Speaker 1: and then it grew to all cancers. But obviously for you,
Speaker 1: this is an important one. It's great work that you're doing,
Speaker 1: and you get a platform like this to talk about
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff when you play as well as
Speaker 1: you have. So we need more interceptions, we need more
Speaker 1: punch outs, and you need to get Dan Campbell to
Speaker 1: make good. You got to break You better break down
Speaker 1: the huddle. We better have a good practice and break
Speaker 1: down the huddle tomorrow.
Speaker 2: How about that? Right? Yes, sir, I got you there.
Speaker 1: You go. Awesome, Brian, continued success. We appreciate your time.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on everything you're doing on and off the field.
Speaker 2: Thank you, pal, Thank you a man.
Speaker 1: Great spending time with Brian Branch always. Also great to
Speaker 1: spend time with Adam Rank, who's going to talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, repairing and replacing guys in your lineup. You
Speaker 1: know what, he's questionable himself. I'll explain it after the break.
Speaker 1: Adam Rank joins the Insiders. Time now to repair and
Speaker 1: replace your fantasy rosters presented by Safe Light. And now
Speaker 1: for role, it's Adam Ranked. I mentioned before the break
Speaker 1: that he was questionable. I actually said, don't say anything,
Speaker 1: don't speak. I don't want to hear it because I
Speaker 1: know that this voice right now is not the dulcet
Speaker 1: tones of Adam Rank that we're used to. He's battling something,
Speaker 1: but you know what, he's here, he's questionable. Any type
Speaker 1: decision he's in. Adam Rank, how are you?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't miss it. You know this is the thing.
Speaker 16: You coach two soccer teams, you go on multiple shows,
Speaker 16: you're up for Jimfy, you do the whole gamut on
Speaker 16: a Friday.
Speaker 2: But I'm here, I'm a gamer.
Speaker 13: I'm ready to go.
Speaker 16: Mikey g I wouldn't miss it.
Speaker 1: Well, now you're to pull back the curtain completely. Now
Speaker 1: you're making me feel terrible and about not agreeing to
Speaker 1: retape this segment, so you can already be in bed
Speaker 1: resting those vocal cords. My bad. But let's talk about
Speaker 1: repairing and replacing some players at quarterback, running back, receiver
Speaker 1: in your fantasy lineup. Let's start with the quarterbacks.
Speaker 16: Well, if you were starting Caleb Williams or Dak Prescott
Speaker 16: on your teams this week, you're going to have to
Speaker 16: replace them. One of the suggestions I would have is
Speaker 16: Andy Dalton, who's played very well ever since he's become
Speaker 16: the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers. He's had at
Speaker 16: least two touchdown passes in three or four games this year.
Speaker 16: And now he's going a real nice matchup against the
Speaker 16: Washington Commanders, who've allowed the fifth most fantasy points to
Speaker 16: the position this season. And the one cool thing about
Speaker 16: the Commanders, they're so generous that they won't try to
Speaker 16: take the ball away from you.
Speaker 2: They'd have just one interception on the season. Now they've
Speaker 2: just let the quarterback throw it. I think it's very nice.
Speaker 16: My high school career might have gotten a lot better
Speaker 16: had opposing teams taken the same approach with me.
Speaker 1: I got that one. I was already thinking of my
Speaker 1: one liner, which is that another way to repair and
Speaker 1: replace your lineup is to make a trade. And if
Speaker 1: you're in Adam Ranks leagues. I assume you're in multiple leagues.
Speaker 1: You are going to make a trade with Adham Rank.
Speaker 1: You want to know why, because he's going to make
Speaker 1: you an off when you can refuse. We're moving on
Speaker 1: the running backs here. How do we repair and replace
Speaker 1: at the running back position?
Speaker 16: Well, you know what, again, there's injuries. There's a lot
Speaker 16: of things going on with running backs. Travis ATMs, a
Speaker 16: gay time decision, things like that. One of the players
Speaker 16: that I really love is Tyrone Tracy. And this is
Speaker 16: the guy I remember when Tom was on the show
Speaker 16: back in August. He's like, Ran, give me a running
Speaker 16: back I need on my somebody I can bid a
Speaker 16: dollar for my auction league. I said, take Tyrone Tracy.
Speaker 16: This guy is going to be a player. And over
Speaker 16: the last couple of weeks he's proven it. He's had
Speaker 16: at least one hundred scrimmage yards in back to back games.
Speaker 16: In each of those contests, he's had at least nineteen touches,
Speaker 16: which lends itself to the production. The only problem is
Speaker 16: Devin Singletary is now pull it up being like, yeah,
Speaker 16: I'm ready to go. I know I look like Brian
Speaker 16: Dable I want to fly out to the meadowlands right now.
Speaker 16: Just be like, yeah, I'm the coach and just tell
Speaker 16: everybody like, oh yeah, Tyrone, Tracy's starting and we're gonna
Speaker 16: run him twenty five times.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Davel came down to uh to your
Speaker 1: fighting weight right now this year, So to you, you know,
Speaker 1: a little a little a little more shave. I think
Speaker 1: you got. I think you got a little too much
Speaker 1: beard going on. He's got a little less. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: But no hats.
Speaker 1: Brian Able like to wear hats, which is crazy because ball.
Speaker 2: Gouts odd as a bald man.
Speaker 1: I don't get that right right. And then training camp
Speaker 1: in the broad daylight anyway, we're getting off tracker, like
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Yes, come on, here we go.
Speaker 1: Not just trim it just a little bit and there
Speaker 1: we go. You're were the hat.
Speaker 2: See, I'm wearing the hat. Even with the wing, I
Speaker 2: still wear the hat. I'm committed to it, exactly.
Speaker 1: Wide receivers repair and replace me, my friend.
Speaker 2: You know, I love Lad McConkie.
Speaker 16: He has been the most consistent wide receiver for the
Speaker 16: LA Chargers, and one of the things about a Greg
Speaker 16: Roman offense is there. He talks about the running like
Speaker 16: they love to run the football.
Speaker 1: That's evident.
Speaker 16: But slot receivers have traditionally feasted in Greg Roman's offenses,
Speaker 16: and we're seeing it this season with Ladd mccaukey. The
Speaker 16: rookie is the most reliable guy. He's the player who
Speaker 16: got who has the most targets, receptions, receiving yards, all
Speaker 16: that good stuff. Again, with so many of the injury
Speaker 16: report is just filled with wide receivers, Although we did
Speaker 16: get some good news about Marvin Harrison junior. Malik Neighbors
Speaker 16: looks like he's a goat. So it might not be
Speaker 16: as repair and replace as it needs to be. But
Speaker 16: if you're in a dire situation and I've got some
Speaker 16: I have Dj Moore players like that, I've ceedee lamb
Speaker 16: Lad McConkie has been a guy that I'm throwing into
Speaker 16: the lineup this week and I'm not even worried about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what I think about your mcconkee call, I think
Speaker 1: he's a fine lad. We're pulling out all the accents
Speaker 1: for this segment here because we've which is always, yeah,
Speaker 1: which is always and to tell us the wait, wait,
Speaker 1: hold on now, they're telling I mean we have to go.
Speaker 1: Adam Rank, you are.
Speaker 16: A gamer Saturday for me, I want to yell, I
Speaker 16: want Tom you.
Speaker 1: May, Yeah, you are the gamer of all gamers. We're
Speaker 1: gonna repair and replace your voice. Drake May's he's still going.
Speaker 1: Drake May wants to tell everybody Whay, everybody in London
Speaker 1: should be Patriots fans. That's up next. I love Rank.
Speaker 17: There are a lot of fans here in the UK
Speaker 17: who are yet to have an NFL team that they
Speaker 17: support and devote their lives to. What is your message
Speaker 17: for those new fans? Why should they be supporting the Patriots?
Speaker 18: First off, I think it comes with the team name,
Speaker 18: you know, New England. I think it's easy for you know,
Speaker 18: UK fans that you know, be attracted to that. You know,
Speaker 18: our colors are pretty sweet, you know, they represent a
Speaker 18: lot of different things. And then from there just I'm
Speaker 18: kind of excitement from the team. I think we got
Speaker 18: you're on the come up and we've got a lot
Speaker 18: of things to look forward to, a lot of bright
Speaker 18: futures ahead. So shout out to all the fans that
Speaker 18: are already Patriot fans over here and look forward to
Speaker 18: having some more.
Speaker 8: I mean, aren't they the patriots because they beat the
Speaker 8: British in the Revolutionary War. I don't think that really works.
Speaker 8: I sort of like the New England thing though. Yeah sure,
Speaker 8: Drake may D minus right there for Drake.
Speaker 1: There you go, D minus. It's on them. Back to
Speaker 1: your history books. I love you, everybody. Happy Friday from
Speaker 1: the inside.
