1 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: Who needs an elbow. Jade Daniels may not be done 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: just yet. Ositive medical reports give the quarterback a chance 3 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: to return this season. Can the Commanders stay afloat long 4 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: enough to make it worth his while? We will tell 5 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: you everything we know about the road ahead in Washington. 6 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: The Colts and Falcons have landed in Germany, and Silver 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: and Tripid correspondence. That's right, that's bear and a helmet 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: will join the show. Actually no, it's Jane Slater and 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: Stacy Dale's quit. The latest ahead of the first NFL 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: game in London, a saucy matchup to go with your 11 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: curry worst on Sunday morning, take around with the main course, 12 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: a drink and baked feast between two of the NFL's 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: toughest teams. Brian Maudiger will be here to break down 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: what New England is doing right and how Tampa could 15 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: attack it. Welcome inside with the Insiders, presented by Pressive 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: Insurance alongside he at Rappaport, I am Tom PELISERA week 17 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: ten is off and running. It's at least walking, it's 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: kind of limping along out of the gate. But we 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: got a lot of action ahead on Sunday and some 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: of those games once again are going to be impacted 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: by quarterback injuries. File this one away for every Friday. 22 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers quarterback Brock Party officially questionable and could 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: be active, but Mac Jones will start again on Sunday 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: against the Rams. According to coach Kyle Shanahan. This is 25 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: now the sixth consecutive game and eighth overall. Party has 26 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: missed the season because of his turf toe injury. Continues 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: to get closer return to the lineup, but for now, 28 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: another Mac attack for a big NFC West showdown. Jets 29 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: coach Aaron Glenn once again refusing to name his starting 30 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: quarterback for their game on Sunday against the Browns. It 31 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: did work lass time when Justin Fields came out and 32 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: played by far his best game as the Jets got 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: their first win. Hard to imagine that it will not 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: be Fields again in the lineup on but Tyrod Taylor, 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: who was out last week with a knee injury, is 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: off the injury report and available as well. 37 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: Benching Justin Fields after the best game of this season 38 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: would certainly be something. Meanwhile, Jonathan Gannon, the head coach 39 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: of the Arizona Cardinals, are easy for me to say, 40 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: was much more clear about his quarterback decision early this week, 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: naming Jacoby Brissette his starter. A day later, Kyler Murray 42 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: goes on IR No surgery is not considered for Kyler Murray. 43 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: He just needs to get better, needs to get. 44 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: Fully healthy from that mid foot spring gold to take 45 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: the next four weeks to do so. Meanwhile, Tom it 46 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: is Jacoby Perssett's team going forward. 47 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: Remains to be seen. 48 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: When it will be Shador Sanders team for the Cleveland 49 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: Browns not yet. Doesn't seem to be close, but at 50 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: least he is expected to be on the game day 51 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: roster if you're dealing with the back injury the last 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: couple of weeks. He is going to be the number 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: two quarterback for the Cleveland Browns this week against the Jets. 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel is still the starter, but Shador said one 55 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: snap away, which means a lot of cutaways just like 56 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: this during the game time. 57 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: In Washington, Marcus Mariota back in the saddle for the 58 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: third time this season. Set to start at least the 59 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: next two games for the Commanders, beginning Sunday against the Lions. 60 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: That's because Jaden Daniels remains out indefinitely because of his 61 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: dislocated elbow. 62 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: But Ian some good news that you brought. 63 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: Us this morning on the medical front that keeps the 64 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: door open to potentially return this season. 65 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 3: What's the latest. 66 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: Here's my understanding of Jaden daniels medical situation. After consulting 67 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: with some of the nation's experts, and really this is 68 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: something they took several opinions and several days the determination 69 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: was made. Surgery is not necessary. That is a good sign. 70 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: Limited to no ligament damage, that is a good sign. Look, 71 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: anytime you dislocated elbow, there's going to be something there, 72 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: but nothing that requires surgery, nothing major. Truly amazing and 73 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: excellent news for Jaden Daniels. Also not expected to be 74 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: placed immediately on injury reserve. 75 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 3: That is also a very good sign. 76 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: What we know, and really what we've known tom since 77 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: of gaining the week, is that Marcus Marriod is going 78 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: to start this game, going to start the next game, 79 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: and then there is the buy and at that point, 80 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: bringing Jayden Daniels back at least comes to the forefront 81 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: becomes a possibility. There's the medical part of it, which 82 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: is what I just explained, and then there's the actual 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: coaching decision, organizational decision part of it. If the commander's 84 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 2: record is such that there is no chance at anything, 85 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: does bringing your franchise quarterback back at less than hundred 86 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: percent makes sense? That is a decision that Adam Peters, 87 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: Josh Harris, and Dan Quinn are all going to have 88 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: to make if they are in the hunt. If there's 89 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 2: stuff to play for and he is capable of coming back, 90 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: then sure he is going to come back. The best 91 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: news though, he is going to be okay. It's just 92 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: all the other decisions revolving around the commanders are going 93 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: to have to be made over the next several weeks. 94 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: Tom commanders badly need a win, but really, who needs offense? 95 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: Not the Broncos last night who came in on a 96 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: six game streak. And don't worry, we're going to keep 97 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: this brief. Second quarter Broncos down seven to nothing, second 98 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: in goal from the seven, Bonicks fired into the end 99 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: zone for Troy Franklin. That is a seven yard touchdown 100 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: and tied it up at seven to third quarter, now 101 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: still tied Raiders first and ten from their own forty nine. 102 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: Gino Smith looking underneath for Ashton Genty, who cannot hang on. 103 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: This is night of missed opportunities for the Raiders. That 104 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: becomes a pick and that's all we're going to show you. 105 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: The Broncos kicked the field goal. The final was ten 106 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: to seven. Hey, a win is a win, right, Sean Payton. 107 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: We got to clean up the penalties. We had to 108 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 4: clean up some of the execution, and that is an 109 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 4: ongoing thing that probably never ends. There's you know, you 110 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 4: search for that shangri la right now. You know we're 111 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 4: team sitting at eight wins. I think we're the only 112 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 4: team sitting there. 113 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 5: The fighters in this dog now, I ain't no doubt 114 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 5: about it. 115 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 6: So I really I couldn't wait to tell them how 116 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 6: proud I was of the way they competed. 117 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: And so we all know in this room we won't 118 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: do something. So it's just a matter of time. 119 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 5: See what happens. 120 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: The Raiders did something today, firing their special teams coordinator 121 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: Tom McMahon for shake up amidst a disappointing start to 122 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five season. Ian and they've also got 123 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback who has shown flashes at times. Didn't get 124 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: a lot of help from his receivers last night, but 125 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: Gino Smith was really hurting by the end of that game. 126 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: He was really hard and he was limping around. Went 127 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: into the medical ten actually a couple of times. At 128 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: one point Kenny Pickett took some snaps, I believe, just 129 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: to finish the series. 130 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 3: Then Gino Smith went back. It is this play right here. 131 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: I think they thought that it was the tripping of 132 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: the ankle was actually the player colliding and basically giving 133 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 2: him the worst Charlie horse you could imagine, right They 134 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: are ouch, it hurts just looking at it. Pete Carroll 135 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: called it a quad contusion. Mainly his coaches. They used 136 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: the word Charlie horse. It doesn't seem serious. It was serious, 137 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 2: and that it hurt very bad, but doesn't seem to 138 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: be serious enough Tom that it will keep Gino out 139 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 2: long term, said Pete Carroll mentioned the changes. You really 140 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: do have to wonder if this play continues with Gino 141 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: Smith and if Aidan O'Connell continues to get healthy, is 142 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: there something they do at the quarterback position? 143 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: Because you know, the. 144 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: Broncos time could talk about how bad their offense was. 145 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: They won, the Raiders didn't kind of forces them to 146 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: consider everything moving forward. 147 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: One thing that's been going right for the Broncos offense 148 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: has been the play at JK. Dobbins, but he got 149 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: banged up late in that game yesterday as well posted 150 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: something on social media then we can't show you on TV, 151 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: taking aim at the lack of calls and action with 152 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: regard to hip drop tackles. Dobbins injured late in the 153 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: game on this play right here, gets taken down by 154 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: Tyree Wilson. He actually went to the sideline briefly, came 155 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: back in the game, carrying the ball two more times 156 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: for twelve yards to put away that win. Minus standing 157 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: is though Dobbin suffered a foot injury on that play. 158 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: That's one of the concerns with those hip drop tackles. 159 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: He's getting the second opinion on it. We may know 160 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: more here in the next couple of days. They got 161 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: a longer week, but something to watch with one of 162 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: the guys who has been very effective for that Broncos 163 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: offense this season. The season's heating up, but prices are 164 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: cooling down.

One? 177 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 5: Not enough? 178 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 9: You hungry now? 179 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 8: Huh? 180 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 3: I said, look at you, Jared Verse. 181 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: One of the reasons the Rams have one of the 182 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: most fearsome friends in the NFL. Another big reason our 183 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: guy right here, Kobe Turner joined us once again on 184 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: The Insiders with me, Tom Pellicero as well as Ian Rappaport. 185 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: We had a lot of serious football stuff to get 186 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: into here with the Kobe, but I want to start 187 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: on this. We had your other teammate, Quinton Lake on 188 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: the show recently and I asked him a question about 189 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: if he fell into a cage of hungry lions, what 190 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: three teammates he'd want to jump in. The first name 191 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: he said was Jared Verse, because and I quote, he'll 192 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: never shut up and it will distract the lions. 193 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: You can talk a lot too. Who's the better talker 194 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: between the toy of you guys. 195 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 10: I definitely say I will use versus a distraction off 196 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 10: formerly a plan to get up out of there. I 197 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 10: was thinking he would have said Kevin Dotson, that would 198 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 10: have been my second choice. 199 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: He had him on the list. 200 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: He had Dotson on the list too, because he's the 201 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: biggest human that anybody's ever seen. 202 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: Who are right? He got Dotson in the cage. Who 203 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 3: else is coming in the cage with you? 204 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 10: Who else is coming in the cage? I definitely like 205 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 10: versus a distraction. We can kind of plot to get 206 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 10: up out of there for sure. Dot and then Hm, 207 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 10: I feel like Lamb Man he got some he got 208 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 10: some crazy punches this year, so maybe he can deal 209 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 10: some knockout blows on some of them lines or something 210 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 10: like that. 211 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: There you go. 212 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: Lambman's having quite a season. You guys are having quite 213 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: a season. One thing we just found out over the 214 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: last couple hours is that the forty nine ers are 215 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: going to start mac Jones once again. Brock Perty may 216 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: be active. Maybe the backup of mac Jones once again. 217 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 2: As you hear that news and no saying nothing against 218 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: mac or Brockaway. Does that matter to you? Does that 219 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: change anything? Is that what you guys have been planning 220 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 2: for this week? 221 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 10: Well, certainly there are different quarterbacks and they present different things. 222 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 10: Max one of those guys who's a little bit more 223 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 10: stable in the pocket, but he's able to get the 224 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 10: ball out fast, and so they present different issues to 225 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 10: us for sure. But at the end of the day, 226 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 10: it doesn't matter who's going to be back there. It's 227 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 10: the forty nine ers, just a big game for us, 228 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 10: a revenge game, get back game, and we're just excited 229 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 10: to go into Santa Clara and hopefully come out with 230 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 10: a W. 231 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: That's the last loss that you guys had was to 232 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers several weeks ago. 233 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: What did you learn. 234 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure you went back through that game just based 235 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: upon the way they played out, and what's improved for 236 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: you guys since then, where maybe you're a better team 237 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,359 Speaker 1: than you were a month ago when you face them. 238 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, the first things first is we did not 239 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 10: come out that game hot. We have to be able 240 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 10: to have a much better start off the jump, and 241 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 10: we know the energy that it requires. 242 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 11: We know what it takes. 243 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 10: We had plenty of opportunities to win that game and 244 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 10: we just did not find a way to win, and 245 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 10: they did, and so props to them. But at the 246 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 10: end of the day, we have to come out a 247 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 10: whole lot hotter and be ready to go from the 248 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 10: jump and really take the fight to them. So there's 249 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 10: a lot that we've learned. We've grown a ton as 250 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 10: a complete team. We've really started to come together more 251 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 10: and more as each of the weeks have gone by. 252 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 10: And I mean, you turn on the tape and you 253 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 10: look at where we're at now versus where we're at 254 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 10: in that game, and you see so many things that 255 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 10: are like, Okay, our standard has elevated. 256 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 11: We're a different team now. 257 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 10: And so it's about going out there and putting that 258 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 10: on the tape against a good forty nine ers team. 259 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 2: Do you guys have I think this is really, without question, 260 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: one of the best fronts from one of the best 261 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 2: front sevens in the NFL. Tom mentioned it right up 262 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 2: the gump and Jared versus someone who jumps off the 263 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: screen or jumps off the field. You got plenty of them, though, 264 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: got Byron Young, you got fish, you got a lot 265 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 2: of them on a daily basis in practice, what is 266 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 2: it like, I mean, are you learning from them? Is 267 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: it a constant competition? Is it constant conversation? How do 268 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: you guys kind of deal with each other and mix 269 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,239 Speaker 2: with each other at practice? 270 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 10: Ultimately, you know, the best rush units able to rush 271 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 10: four as one or five as one, and we're able 272 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 10: to do that because of the way that we get 273 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 10: after it. 274 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 11: In practice. There's no wasted reps, there's no days off. 275 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 10: We're going full speed and we're really trying to execute 276 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 10: at the highest level. So by the time Sunday comes around, 277 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 10: we know exactly what it looks like. We're able to 278 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 10: know what's happening. Even if we don't call something. We're 279 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 10: able to naturally understand the way that the rush is 280 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 10: going to unfold based off of how we know each 281 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 10: other move. And so yeah, we just continue to learn 282 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 10: off of each other, continue to see things that we 283 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 10: want to emulate in each other's game. And then at 284 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 10: the end of the day, when you have a group 285 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 10: like ours, they're going to continue to elevate the standard 286 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 10: and continue to push each other to reach that standard, 287 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 10: whether that be getting out of the stack, running to 288 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 10: the ball. It's all of the little things that make 289 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 10: us as good as we are and that are going 290 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 10: to take us to that next level. 291 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 11: Gooby. 292 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: We always enjoy watching you play, also enjoy watching you 293 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: celebrate big plays. One of the recent celebrations stood out 294 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: because you went full Showyotani Dodgers with your celebration after 295 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: taking down Taysom Hill. Two part question one were you 296 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: planning this to go Dodgers? 297 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 11: And two? 298 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: Could Kobe Turner have been a pro baseball player? 299 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 10: And I started playing baseball right before I got into 300 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 10: high school, But I love that I played some catcher, 301 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 10: some second base, third base. They didn't want to put 302 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 10: me at shortstop though, so I don't know about all that, 303 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 10: but yeah, I mean, we were up that the night before, 304 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 10: we were watching the game, and I'm pretty sure we 305 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 10: were about to have a team meeting. We pushed back 306 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 10: our team meeting some more minutes so that we can 307 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 10: watch it go into overtime. And you should have seen 308 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 10: the reaction from all of the guys. 309 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 12: Man. 310 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 10: We were just all super excited to have the Dodgers 311 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 10: be able to bring back another championship to LA and 312 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 10: really to just watch a great game of baseball. So 313 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 10: from that moment, I was like, if I get a sack, 314 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 10: I got to do my signature celebration. But if I 315 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 10: get a TFO, I got to be able to represent 316 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 10: the Dodgers. And what a big accomplishment for them to 317 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 10: have the first back to back championship in what twenty 318 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 10: five years or something like that. So I had to 319 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 10: give a shout out to those guys down the street 320 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 10: in our city. 321 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was not that happy. I'm a Mets fan. 322 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: Anytime the Dodgers win, it just pains my heart. I 323 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: was actually rude for everyone to lose in the playoffs. 324 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 11: Anyway, I have. 325 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: Another non football question for you. This doesn't have anything 326 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: to do with, you know, being in a pit or 327 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: whatever Tom was talking about. You are a singer, and 328 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: a very good one. The conductor as you are called. 329 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: There's a couple other guys in the NFL who can 330 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: really sing. Jordan Malatta comes to my brain right off 331 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: the top. One how much practice?

How excited was this team to get. 387 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 13: A piece like that in their secondary Yeah, I think 388 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 13: pretty blown away actually, and I'm sure I'll be talking 389 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 13: at length Jane Er on game day about it when 390 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 13: I'm able to reveal a little bit more, because I 391 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 13: have had conversations about it, and this team from ownership 392 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 13: down really excited. 393 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 5: But take that to another level because they really feel 394 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 5: like they've added not just an all Pro player, but 395 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 5: in an immediate impact player who brings flexibility to defensive 396 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 5: coordinator lou Anna Rumo. And I'm going to tell you this, 397 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 5: he was full go. Sauce was in practice yesterday, I believe, 398 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 5: clearing concussion protocol. He's going to have no restrictions on Sunday. 399 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 5: This is going to be really exciting to see how 400 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 5: lou uses him against the Atlanta Falcons. 401 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 13: Yeah. 402 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 7: When I reached out to someone of the building. This 403 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 7: week's stays. I said, so, how much is he actually 404 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 7: going to play? I mean, I think there's always as 405 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 7: fans and those of us in the media that we 406 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 7: think that there needs to be some level of acclamation. Yeah, 407 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 7: I was told every play. In fact, one person had 408 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 7: told me I wish I had taken notes as well 409 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 7: as he did. I might have done better in school 410 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 7: and listening to Sauce this week, he said, I'm all 411 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 7: about Hull and football. Nothing changes for him. So I 412 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 7: think so exciting, particularly when you consider it DeForest Butner 413 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 7: didn't make the trip. They're starting defensive tackle. You've been 414 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 7: in the locker room, you cover the Colts extensively. How 415 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 7: big of a loss is that and how do you 416 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 7: anticipate them stepping up, especially when this secondary is still 417 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 7: trying to find their way well to Forest Buckner. 418 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 5: Is one of the best to do it at his 419 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 5: position in the National Football League. But I will tell 420 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 5: you this, this is probably, in all the years I've 421 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 5: covered the Indianapolis Colts, the best culture that I can 422 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 5: recall and feel with their locker room right now, I 423 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 5: have a feeling they're going to come together looking to 424 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 5: avenge their Pittsburgh loss last week against the Hungary Falcons 425 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 5: team on Sunday, and. 426 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 7: What a message that ownership to the front office since 427 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 7: to this team, we believe in you. You're seven and two. 428 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 7: We're going all in. 429 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: Time now for good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance, These 430 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: Steelers defense had a season nine six takeaways in that 431 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: week nine win over the Colts, second game this season 432 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: which Pittsburgh has had at least five takeaways, which is 433 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: as many of those games as the rest of the 434 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: NFL combined. 435 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 3: How are they doing it? Brian Baldeger, Boy. 436 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 6: The Steelers defense rebounded last week, shutting down the number 437 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 6: one offense football, the Indianapolis Colts. And I want to 438 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 6: show you some of the things that they did. And 439 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 6: it started with some differences in personnel on the back end. 440 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 6: Two new safeties including Jalen Ramsey right here and Kyle 441 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 6: Dugger who they just just acquired, So two new safeties, 442 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 6: and what that did was it allowed the corners to 443 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 6: really match up and lock up underneath, knowing they had 444 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 6: safety help. And it forced Daniel Jones to hold the 445 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 6: ball on a number of occasions, and here he ends 446 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 6: up getting sacked by Joey Porter out of bounds behind 447 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage. 448 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 11: Now CJ. 449 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 6: Watt got some one on ones against Braden Smith, the 450 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 6: right tackle from the Indianapolis Colts, and this was his 451 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 6: single best pass rush of the year. He beats him 452 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 6: with the hook, he turns the corner and with his 453 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 6: left hand he gets the ball out and recovers the fumble. 454 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 3: Sack fumble, fumble recovery. 455 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 6: That ignited the Steelers defense that got aggressive with those 456 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 6: safeties behind. You could see that Alex Heighsmith right here, 457 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 6: Keanu Benton, Nick Kurbbig all win their pass rushes and 458 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 6: Daniel Jones had no place to go. He was sacked 459 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 6: a number of times. Now, you watch Peyton Wilson, the 460 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 6: second year linebacker here is he was everywhere. He bats 461 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 6: this ball down, he's in the pass lane, he bats 462 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 6: it right to his partner, Jack Sawyer on the other 463 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 6: side for an interception. And then you know, with those 464 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 6: safeties back in Indianapolis playing from behind, they played like 465 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 6: a sticky matchup zone underneath, all right. They locked up 466 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 6: the receivers. Daniel Jones is just trying to find a 467 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 6: little bit of time here. When he steps up, he's 468 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 6: met by the onslaught of defenders, including the two rookies 469 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 6: right here, Derek Harmon and Yer Black, along with high 470 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 6: Smith and herbig and right here herbig number fifty one. 471 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 6: He now becomes a spy on Daniel Jones. When Daniel 472 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 6: Jones stepped up, he stepped up and stripped them of 473 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 6: the ball right there. Another sack forced fumble right there 474 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 6: by the Steelers, you know. And after eight games, the 475 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 6: Steelers are second in the league in takeaways. They got 476 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 6: a bunch last week when they are taking the ball 477 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 6: away and they're giving it back to Aaron Rodgers. This 478 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 6: is a very tough team to beat. The Chargers are 479 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 6: gonna have to take care of the football this week 480 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 6: against a defensive line that really woke up in their 481 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 6: victory against the Colts last Sunday. 482 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: Much more to come on this edition of The Insiders, 483 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: inclined to look at a matchup of potential MVP contenders. 484 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: It's Drake may it's Baker Mayfield.

Let's 500 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: get into it taking a deep look at this offense 501 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: from our good friend Brian Baldinger, who gives us his 502 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 2: this XO. 503 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 6: Well, the New England Patriots are the talk of the 504 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 6: AFC with a big winning streak, the highest rated quarterback 505 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 6: in Drake May, and I want to show you a 506 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 6: little bit about what makes this offense tick right here 507 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 6: and why they have been successful. Why Drake May has 508 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 6: had success. 509 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 10: Here we go. 510 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 3: First of all, there are two back offense. 511 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 6: That means they use a fullback like Jack west over 512 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 6: right here in front of Trevion Henderson, and now you 513 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 6: get the offensive lineman on prade. 514 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 8: You get Will Campbell, the. 515 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 6: Rookie, Jared Wilson the rookie, and you get a nice 516 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 6: hole for trey Von Henderson. They run the ball more 517 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 6: than they throw it, but when they do throw it, 518 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 6: they like to take their deep shots. And they got 519 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 6: to protect Drake May this week against Tampa to get 520 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 6: that done. But here, Jamaro Douglas is gonna work down 521 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 6: the field on this due deep. 522 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 8: Over out and Drake May. 523 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 6: Look, he's completing almost seventy five percent of his passes, 524 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 6: the best in the league, very accurate on these deep throws, 525 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 6: and they've got players that can get down the field 526 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 6: to make those big plays. 527 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 8: Now this is the same play. 528 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 11: Here's the protection hunter. 529 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 6: Henry, you're gonna chip on this defensive end right here. 530 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 6: Just slow down the rush enough, give Drake May a 531 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 6: lane to step into. And when he gets a clean 532 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 6: shot like that, like he makes most of those, he 533 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 6: makes good throws and good decisions with the ball. When 534 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 6: you're defending Drake May in this offense, you have to 535 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 6: account for him as being a very talented runner, no 536 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 6: matter what it is, a design run or like this, 537 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 6: just this escape, he finds the escape lane. He can 538 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 6: run away from defenders and he can make people miss. 539 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 6: Like you see this week in week out. He's picking 540 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 6: up first downs, he's extending drives, and he knows how 541 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 6: to pick up some artist. 542 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 8: Now they liked the game plan. 543 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: Here. 544 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 6: Here he got Damario Douglass on a wheel route lined 545 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 6: up in the backfield against Jalen Walker, the rookie linebacker 546 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 6: from the Falcons, and he beat him clean, and Drake 547 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 6: May dropped it right in the bucket end. 548 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: Look. 549 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 6: I put this game against Cleveland up because I knew 550 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 6: that they would blitz Drake May. But he's been very 551 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 6: good against the blitz this year. He seemed to have 552 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 6: an outlet no matter what you do to him. Here 553 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 6: he finds his tight end right there across the middle. 554 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 6: So we know that Todd Bowles in two weeks to 555 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 6: get ready, is going to want to come after Drake May. 556 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 6: Will he have an answer the way he has during 557 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 6: this wind streak to be able to defeat the blitz 558 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 6: that is sure to come at him. 559 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 3: Great stuff from Baldi on the Brady Bowl Game of 560 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 3: the Year. 561 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: Wherret says, Tom Brady, what a surprising he is not unbiased. 562 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 3: He is fully biased. How about this fact? 563 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 2: Did you guys know that, for the first time since 564 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,719 Speaker 2: two thousand Week one, a Patriots Bucks matchup does not 565 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 2: feature Tom Brady as the starter. That is a truly 566 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: ridiculous stat just goes to show you that Brady literally 567 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 2: played absolutely forever. Our good friend Sarah Walsh will be 568 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: there hanging out covering this game. Sarah, I know you 569 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: follow both these teams very closely. Both these quarterbacks are 570 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: having i would say MVP like seasons. 571 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 3: We talk about MVP. 572 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 11: It's always like Lamar Josh Allen. 573 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 3: Both these guys should be in the mix. 574 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 2: What do you see on Sunday from these teams? 575 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 14: Well, to your point, both of these quarterbacks have been 576 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 14: making MVP cases all season long, and now you've got 577 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 14: a matchup of two teams that right now hold the 578 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 14: two seeds in their respective conferences. And it's because of 579 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 14: that that Drake May said this game has a little 580 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 14: bit extra to and it's easy to understand why he's 581 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 14: saying that. Todd Bowles was absolutely effusive in his praise 582 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 14: of the Patriots quarterback this week. He said he has 583 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 14: been playing out of this world with both his arm 584 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 14: and his legs when he needs to. May has done 585 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 14: a great job. Stefan Diggs has gotten really back into 586 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 14: the mix these last couple of weeks touchdowns and consecutive games, 587 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 14: and when this season started he was still working his 588 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 14: way back from that ACL injury. As for Bowles, quarterback 589 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 14: Baker Mayfield, as everyone knows, has put this team on 590 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 14: his back this entire season. They have been dealing with 591 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 14: massive injuries, especially on offense, so this buy gave them 592 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 14: a chance to reset, and the offense really needed that 593 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 14: because in the last two games before the bye, Baker 594 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 14: had just one passing touchdown. Now still without Mike Evans, 595 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 14: still without Chris Godwin, still without Bucky Irving, and yet 596 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 14: the Buccaneers have an opportunity this weekend with a win 597 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 14: to start the season seven and two for the first 598 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 14: time in more than twenty years. And when you consider 599 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 14: all the guys that have been out ian that's incredibly impressive. 600 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: I mean no doubt. Look, Bucky Irvitt hasn't played in 601 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 2: some times. It's been kind of a little bit of 602 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 2: a curious situation. This Bucks run game as important as 603 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 2: Eddie and considering that they're facing the Patriots defense, which 604 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 2: is as of right now, the best run defense in 605 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: the NFL. You got to figure that matchup is going 606 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 2: to be a big one. 607 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 14: Yeah, this is something the Bucks really want to get 608 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 14: back on track. And the problem is, of course, who 609 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 14: they're dealing with this week. Bucky Irving is going to 610 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 14: miss his fifth straight game, so that's problematic for the Buccaneers. 611 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 14: They have worked their way around it as best they can, 612 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 14: but this is a Bucks team that ranks last when 613 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 14: it comes to yards per carry. I spoke to their 614 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 14: center Graham Barton this week and he said that they've 615 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 14: really been lacking the explosive plays from a year ago. 616 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 14: He told me, we're not necessarily getting stuffed at the 617 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 14: line of scrimmage, but we just haven't had those plays. 618 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 14: He told me that pop, he said, the ones that 619 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 14: go for twenty or thirty yards. And if you look 620 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 14: further into it, the Bucks are the only team in 621 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,959 Speaker 14: the league that has not had a running back with 622 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 14: a carry of more than sixteen yards in a game. 623 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 14: To do that, to get on track, you now have 624 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 14: to do it against the Patriots team that is holding 625 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 14: opponents to just seventy five yards on the ground. That's 626 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 14: a ridiculous number. It ranks tops in the league. Graham 627 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 14: also told me that he knows that teams are now 628 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 14: trying to shut down Baker, eliminate what Baker can do 629 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 14: with his legs, because he said, they've seen what he's 630 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 14: been doing right, and now we have to respond and 631 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 14: adjust to what defenses are going to do for us. 632 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 14: But there is one positive and all this litany of 633 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 14: injury news that the Buccaneers have had some good news. 634 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 14: It appears heading their way. Luke Gettike, their right tackle, 635 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 14: should probably be back this week. He has been out 636 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 14: since Week two. They have been reshuffling and reshuffling and 637 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 14: reshuffling this offensive line. I said to Graham Barton, I 638 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 14: go give me the state of the O line. He 639 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 14: goes resilient, He said, it's been a tumultuous year. But 640 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 14: we are not going to whine and complain. We are 641 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 14: going to be critical of ourselves. We're going to take 642 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 14: ownership of it, and we've got to set the tone 643 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 14: every week. But help could become any and at least 644 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 14: they hope. 645 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: Good news for the Bills, fantasy teams everywhere. James Cook 646 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: is good to go, officially off the injury report. Has 647 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: no designation after deal with an injury in the early 648 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: portion of the week. He is ready to roll on 649 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Dolphins. The status of TETAROA McMillan more 650 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: clouded for the Panthers, popped up on the injury report 651 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: with a hamstring during the week. He's officially listed as 652 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: questionable to face the Saints. Big game for Carolina coming 653 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: off the win over the Packers, t MAC would be 654 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: able to make an impact, you would think if he's able. 655 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 3: To play in that game. 656 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: Time now to go inside with NFL Fantasy Live and 657 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: more on fallout from injuries and trades and more. It's 658 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: our guy, Adam Rank joining me, Tom Pelicero and Ian Rappaport. 659 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: Let's start off on the injury side of things here. 660 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 3: Rank. 661 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: Tucker Craft has been a revelation both for the Packers 662 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: and fantasy teams this season. 663 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 3: With him out, who eats in that Green Bay offense. 664 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's going to be very difficult to try to 665 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 12: replace the production that Tucker Craft. I know a lot 666 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 12: of people are going to pivot to Luke Musgrave and 667 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 12: if you're looking at a next man up type of opportunity, 668 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 12: that is going to be It that is going to 669 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 12: be the. 670 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 11: Guy on the depth chart. 671 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 12: However, the one thing that's going to be the toughest 672 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 12: to recreate is what Tucker Craft did after the catch. 673 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 12: He was an absolute yack monster. And as you said, 674 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 12: one of the revelations here in fantasy football this season 675 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 12: for anybody who's spent a top pick getting a guy 676 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 12: like Brock Bauers or Trey McBride or even George Kittle, 677 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 12: Tucker Craft had been that dude, Kim Luke muskgrave be It, 678 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 12: I don't know, but still he's going to have the 679 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 12: opportunity in that Green Bay offense. 680 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Minnesota Vikings. Our good friend Tom 681 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 2: posts Erro, who you see in this very shot, talk 682 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 2: to Aaron Jones last week, and Aaron Jones told him 683 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 2: that he was likely playing right now, he is listed 684 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 2: as questionable with the shoulder injury, and Aaron Jones told 685 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 2: other people that he is also likely playing. 686 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 11: That said, what does this. 687 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: Mean for Jordan Mason and his fantasy usage, Well. 688 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 12: We saw last week Jordan Mason lost a lot of 689 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 12: his efficiency with Aaron Jones there. 690 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 3: Now, obviously, when. 691 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 12: It comes to football in general, the Minnesota Vikings are 692 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 12: a much better team when they have both running backs. 693 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 12: They both compliment each other. But the one thing that's 694 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 12: the most frustrating for us fantasy enthusiasts, we want a 695 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 12: singular running back. Want we want to harken back to 696 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 12: the days of Adrian Peterson, of Robert Smith, of Chuck Foreman. 697 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 12: I'm sorry, I know I've lost you. 698 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 3: I lost you on the last two. 699 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 12: But there was a time when you could rely on 700 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 12: a single running back to carry the offense in Minnesota. 701 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 12: But if both players are playing, the guy that I 702 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 12: favor is actually Aaron Jones. But if Jordan Mason is 703 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 12: the lone starter, he does have a lot of upside 704 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 12: of that offense. 705 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: Chuck Foreman, number forty four, he would have dominated if 706 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: fantasy was around, you know, at that particular period in time. 707 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk about a couple of the trades that happened 708 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: this week, rank, including one that kind of got overshadowed 709 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: because he and I broke it, like thirty seconds after 710 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: one of those Jets trains, Rashid Shahed going from the 711 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: Saints to the Seahawks. He's back with Clint Kubiak. What's 712 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: the impact of that, No, I love this. 713 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 12: I think that Rashid Shaheed's going to come in and 714 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 12: make an immediate impact with this Seahawks team. He's going 715 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 12: to have no trouble adjusting to this offense because, as 716 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 12: you said, he played with Clinton Kubiak last season. Knows 717 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 12: the offense, and let's be honest, his role is the 718 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 12: run down the field and get open, something that he's 719 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 12: done very well during his time in New Orleans. Now 720 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 12: you pair him with one of the best deep ball throwers. 721 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 3: In the NFL. 722 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 12: I have no doubt that Sam Darnold is going to 723 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 12: go out there and take advantage of this newly acquired 724 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 12: wide receiver this weekend. I feel confident starting Rashid Shahed 725 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 12: in fantasy matchups this week. 726 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 2: Is it similar with Jakobe Meers, the new Jaguars receiver 727 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: considering Travis Hunter not going to play this week in 728 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,959 Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks. 729 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 12: You know, and Brian Thomas Junior is also fighting an 730 00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 12: injury as well. And one of the things that he 731 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 12: really like about Jacoby Myers as he goes out and 732 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 12: he does Yeah, he's out, so he's going to get 733 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 12: some opportunity, He's going to get some run. 734 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 11: But one of the things that. 735 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 12: I really notice from our friend Liam Cohen this week 736 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 12: is that he said that Parker Washington was going to 737 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 12: remain in the slot. 738 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 11: And one of the things that we've. 739 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 12: Seen out of Trevor Lawrence's season is that he likes 740 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 12: to target his slot receiver has already done a nice 741 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 12: job of identifying Parker Washington and getting him the football. 742 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 12: So I do believe that Jacoby Myers is going to 743 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 12: have an impact for our friends down in Douvall. I 744 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 12: think ultimately the guy that we want to go with 745 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 12: in this offense is going to be Parker Washington. 746 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 8: What are they. 747 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 9: I never know what to do in those situations where 748 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 9: the bat comes back around. 749 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 3: I'm like, because you want to like, you're going. 750 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 9: It, keep rolling, keep going sick. That's what I'm talking about, bro. 751 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 2: The Seahawks offense has been absolutely rolling and one of 752 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 2: the big reasons why joins me right now on the Insiders, 753 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 2: Ken Walker, the Seahawks standout running back.
