1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: The Rams really need to win tonight against the Vikings,

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: and reinforcements are on the way.

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 2: We will tell you the latest.

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Our Bridget Connon standing by live at Sofi Stadium ahead

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: of a Thursday night Ramilly reunion.

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: You get it.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: There's a couple of teams in New York, New Jersey

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: that could really use a W two. But Ken, Aaron

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Daniel Jones helped the Jets and Giants keep

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 1: their seasons afloat. Mark Ross and Brian Bold here will

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: help us break that down. Meanwhile, the Pro Football Hall

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: of Fame class of twenty twenty five is down to

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: its top fifty candidates. Is this the year for Tonight's

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: guest Sean Alexander to be enshrined in Canton? Honestly, we

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: have absolutely no say in the matter, but hey, coming

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: on the show never hurts, right. Welcome inside with the

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Insiders A Law Longside, Ian Rapaport, Judy Battista and Mike Garafolo.

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: I am Tom Peliserro.

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: We've got so much to get into as we lead

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: up to Week eight. Here, it's a big clash and

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati this Sunday, the Engles Eagles and the Bengals both

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: seemingly getting hot as this season progresses.

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: The Cowboys with a.

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Really important matchup this week against San Francisco. We got

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: to cast the thousands behind us, one very important one

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: standing by on the field because that's where we begin.

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: Sofi Stadium, which is plausibly near the Santa Monica Pier. Right.

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Week eight kicks off Vikings and Rams only on Prime Video.

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: We're a little over two hours away from kickoff. Still

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: awaiting what should be coming soon official word on the

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: status of wide receiver Pooka Nakua. We know Cooper cup

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: is off the injury report, Nakua, who only had his

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: practice window opened two days ago. As our reported this morning,

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: there has been some optimism growing that maybe Poka could

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: be active in some type of role. Bridget, there's a

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: lot going on, Bridge of cotton standing.

37
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: By on the field.

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: Here, tell me what you're looking for in this matchup tonight.

39
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: The scene behind you, a lot of activity there there

40
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: they're doing that thing where they roll out the turf.

41
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 2: All that good fund.

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: Set the scene for me.

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank god that they turned off the music just

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: before our hit, so I can tell you how pivotal

45
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 4: of a game this is for the Rams. If they

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: win tonight, they would join three teams in the NFC

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: West with three and four records, sitting just behind the Seahawks,

48
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: who were in top place of the division. But this

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: pivotal game just got even bigger. Tom, Let's start with

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 4: Cooper cup who's expected to play tonight for the first

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: time in a long time for this Rams team. He

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: did practice last week and once again this week, and

53
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: you know he was talking this week about how important

54
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: it has been to get those reps, but he also

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: talks back to having the training preps too, So he

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: feels confident, even though he has missed quite a few games,

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: that he will be fine and back tonight, and he

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: may have his bellow receiver, Pooka Nakua back on the

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: field with him here tonight. As you reported earlier this morning,

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: there is optimism. Pooka was officially listed as a limited

61
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: participant in practice both Tuesday and Wednesday. Of course, Tuesday

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: was a walkthrough, Wednesday was a lighter practice, so we

63
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 4: are officially on Pooka watch.

64
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: Tom.

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: We'll have much more about what this means for the Rams,

66
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: having these two key pieces of their offense back together

67
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: potentially tonight later in the show. But for now, we

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: are going to keep our eyes peeled and be looking

69
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 4: out for Pooka Nakua and we will report to you

70
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: the latest.

71
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: We have an update on Pookin n'cool watch.

72
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: I tried to buy as much time with that extremely

73
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: long winded tease to you, Bridget. I got the text

74
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: while you were talking. Pooka Nakula officially is active for

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: this game tonight. I would not anticipates only had like

76
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: one full speed practice. He's probably not going to be

77
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: full go in this game. Another boost getting Cooper Cup back,

78
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: and now, as you said, Poka Nakua out there in

79
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: some type of role as well. Bridget. We'll talk to

80
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: you a lot more about this game later on in

81
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: the show. Meanwhile, for the Vikings, they also have help

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: on the way. It's just not going to be tonight.

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: TJ.

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: Hawkinson, who definitely has taken better photos in his life,

85
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 1: downgraded to out.

86
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: This was really all part of the plan.

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: They activated him and opened up his practice window from

88
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: injury reserve twenty days ago. He's just now coming up

89
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: on the nine month anniversary of his ACL reconstruction. They

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: will activate him on Friday. Expect Hawkinson to make his

91
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: return to the lineup next Sunday against the Colts. But

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: as we just discussed, they are back both of them.

93
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup we knew that coming back from his ankle injury,

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: but Pooka Nakua it seemed improbable. They just opened up

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: his twenty one day practice window on Tuesday. That has

96
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: to be the shortest practice window opening of all time

97
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: two days. Judy now Puka Nakua at least in some

98
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: type of a limited role back to give a boost

99
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: for Rams team that really needs to find a way

100
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: to get a big win.

101
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 5: They do, but as Bridget just mentioned that NFC West

102
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 5: Division is pretty tightly bunched. The Rams, despite their recent

103
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 5: struggles when those guys were out, are by no means

104
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 5: out of the race in the division. So this is

105
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 5: a huge opportunity for them to get back up in

106
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 5: the mix. And as we know, every game at this

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 5: point of the year is really worth watching because we

108
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 5: are twelve days I think it is from the trade deadline,

109
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 5: so this is where teams that are maybe on the

110
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 5: line have to decide if they're going to be buyers

111
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: and sellers. And as we know, teams have certainly been

112
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 5: calling the Rams about Cooper Cupp and whether he might

113
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 5: be available. So you've got to think that this game

114
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 5: and next week's game are going to impact any decision

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 5: they make about who they might move. Huge opportunity though

116
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 5: for the Rams tonight, and of course on the other

117
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 5: side Vikings, they all of a sudden after being undefeated

118
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 5: until last week, or all of a sudden in a

119
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 5: really tight race of their own in that division. They

120
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: have to keep winning because everybody in that division is winning.

121
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: This is my emoji right here. I'm the hmm emojia.

122
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: I heard Judy say teams have been calling the Rams.

123
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: They know that.

124
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 6: Well, that's right, I know that the teams have been

125
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 6: calling the Rams. I know there's certainly interest. Tonight is

126
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 6: big for so many reasons. First of all, the fact

127
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 6: that the Rams get their two star receivers back is

128
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 6: just massive. And this really has been what the Rams

129
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 6: season has been about. They basically had their entire team

130
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 6: injured in like the first two weeks, most of their

131
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 6: offensive line and all their good receivers. They have had

132
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 6: to make do somehow, some way, winning a couple of

133
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 6: games along the way without it.

134
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: They've had revelations like Jordan Winningham's.

135
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 6: A really good player, really young player who they really

136
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 6: like to do some similar things to what Cooper Cup

137
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 6: is able to do, not exactly the same, but some

138
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 6: similar things. The fact that they get the Cavalry back

139
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 6: tonight is big, especially if they want to make it

140
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 6: another win and get themselves back in potentially playoff consideration.

141
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 6: But the fact that Cooper Cup hasn't played, the fact

142
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 6: that he's going to play tonight less than two weeks

143
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 6: for the trade deadline.

144
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: Means teams you're going to be watching.

145
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 6: Does he have his old formback, is he as fast

146
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 6: as usually is?

147
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: Is he healthy?

148
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 6: If I put him on my team, I give up

149
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 6: significant draft pick compensation for him.

150
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: What is he going to look like tonight?

151
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 6: Is fascinating for football for trade deadline for a lot

152
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 6: of reasons, Mike, I'm looking to see how it all

153
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 6: plays out.

154
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: On Poka Nkoa.

155
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 7: The injury that he suffered was a It wasn't an

156
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 7: aggravation right the he suffered the one in the summer,

157
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 7: and then it was a different injury to the same

158
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 7: ligament in his knee, and so that led to my

159
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 7: questions of like, really he's going to play having only

160
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 7: practiced limited for a couple of days, and from my understanding,

161
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 7: it was that there is confidence in his knee that

162
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 7: there won't be a reinjury, Like if he gets hurt,

163
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 7: it's going to be the same thing, another injury to

164
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 7: the same ligament. But the hope and the expectation is

165
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 7: that won't be the case, in large part because of

166
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 7: the fact that they put him on IR to give

167
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 7: him the time to fully heal.

168
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: They're confident in his knee.

169
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 7: He's confident his knee certainly won't see the full compliment

170
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 7: of reps, but he'll get out there and he'll get

171
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 7: some game action and then get ten days after that

172
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 7: to recuperate and hopefully ramp himself up greatly at that point.

173
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 7: So that's what I'm expecting to see from Pooka Nikua

174
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 7: tonight as he returns to the field alongside that guy

175
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 7: Cooper cup right there.

176
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: We've already seen some big time wide receiver trades here

177
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks leading up to the trade deadline,

178
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper going to Buffalo, DeVonta Adams going to the Jets,

179
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: and that guy DeAndre Hopkins. Within the past twenty four hours,

180
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: the trade finalized sending him from the Titans to the Chiefs,

181
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: and he's already out there. Andy Reid said, why wait

182
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: to put him on the field. This is a union

183
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: that Hopkins had been thinking about for a while.

184
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 8: I've been in the NFL twelve years, so, uh, you know,

185
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 8: I know football, So hopefully I can go out there

186
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 8: and make some plays and wherever I'm fitted, wherever I'm needed.

187
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 9: Do you under what you've done in your career?

188
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 10: What does it mean for you to come into the

189
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 10: building that knows how to we championsterest in your coach?

190
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 8: So it takes It means a lot. It takes your

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 8: game to a different level. Uh takes your your focus,

192
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 8: your drive. Uh knowing that you're playing for something, Uh

193
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 8: it it takes your game to a different level.

194
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 7: Uh.

195
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 8: You know, haven't played meeting for football in a couple

196
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 8: of years. Uh since you know, we probably started eight

197
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 8: and no in Arizona. Uh so you know, it takes

198
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 8: your game to a different level.

199
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 11: Uh.

200
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 8: So you know, I I gotta thank Rand and his

201
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 8: staff for you know, traded me to a contender first

202
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 8: of all, Uh cause those guys you know, could have

203
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 8: traded me anywhere. But uh, you know, I gotta tip

204
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 8: my head off for those guys, uh before anything, and

205
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 8: UH thank them a lot for that.

206
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 7: Uh.

207
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 8: So you know coming here, you know, when I got

208
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 8: the news, I would say I was excited, but you know,

209
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 8: ready to get to work. U always been a fan

210
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 8: of pet. I'll stay in in touch with him throughout

211
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 8: his career. So you know, decided to go go get started.

212
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: The Lions are going to be shorty wide receiver for

213
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. Jamison Williams officially announcing a

214
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: statement today he has accepted his two game suspension for

215
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: violating the performance Nancy and drug policy. Williams said he

216
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: does not know exactly why he tested positive and has

217
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: never knowingly taken a banned substance. Daniel Jones and the

218
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Giants trying to find a way to get their offense

219
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: jump started. Their star receiver Malik Neighbors, had missed some time.

220
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: He is back now. The offense itself is not just

221
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: ten points total. That is not a typo on the screen.

222
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Ten points total over their last two games against the

223
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Bengals and then the Eagles, but Judy last night. As

224
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: you look at some of the other rough numbers right now,

225
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: for the Giants underhead coach Brian Dable, who of course

226
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: comes from the offensive side of the We know they've

227
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: had a variety of challenges Judy, namely Daniel Jones being

228
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: out the lineup for a good chunk of last season.

229
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas has missed a ton of time. No Saquon

230
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Barkley now after he missed time last season. Something's got

231
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: to give. But John Brras certainly did not make it

232
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: sound like, at least at this moment, he's thinking that's

233
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: going to involve major changes.

234
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 9: At the top.

235
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, he certainly wanted to deliver that message last night.

236
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 5: This was during a screening of The Duke, which by

237
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 5: the way, is premiering on NFL Network Friday evening. So

238
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 5: ketch that is the story of Willington Marat, John Marra's father,

239
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 5: And at the end of it, he spoke to the

240
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 5: reporters who were there. Obviously he knew the reporters were

241
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 5: going to be there, and he wanted to speak to us,

242
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 5: and we asked them some questions about the film, and

243
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 5: then we asked about the current team and he said,

244
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 5: you know, this is not really the night creadit. I

245
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 5: just want to say one thing. We are not making changes,

246
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 5: and I do not anticipate in making changes in the

247
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: off season either. And he went on to explain first

248
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: of all that he still has confidence in day Ball

249
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 5: and Shane because he watches their process, he listens to

250
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 5: how they evaluate players, but also because he thinks John

251
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: Marra thinks he needs to be more patient than he

252
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: has been over the last you know, ten years or so,

253
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 5: where some coaches have lasted two years and been out,

254
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 5: two years and been out. He talked about how his

255
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: father Wellington used to preach the value of being patient,

256
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 5: and he thinks he needs to be more patient with

257
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 5: this and give Dave Ball and Shane a chance to

258
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 5: turn this around. Obviously, he is very disappointed with how

259
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 5: things are going right now. He was asked about Daniel Jones,

260
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 5: and he said he was not going to critique individual

261
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: players except to say that obviously the offense were struggling

262
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 5: and there were a lot of reasons behind that, but

263
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 5: certainly he wanted to get the message out to sort

264
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: of calm things down, because, as you can imagine in

265
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 5: New York Giants fans are already getting pretty restless.

266
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 6: It's actually amazing in today's world that an order came

267
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 6: out and said we are not making I mean, that

268
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 6: was as definitive as I know. It's week eight or

269
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 6: whatever I think it is, but that was as definitive

270
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 6: as you get for an owner saying, like, everyone stop asking,

271
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 6: we are not making changes. Then obviously you hope for

272
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: the Giants that this, you know, really changes the dialogue

273
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 6: and the storyline of their season. On the other hand,

274
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 6: it's really crazy that he needs to say this. I mean,

275
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 6: I understand the world and we all track coaching changes

276
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 6: and who's getting fired and who's getting hired all the time,

277
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 6: and this is sort of what we do this time

278
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 6: of year and over the course the next two months.

279
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 6: But they've only been there a couple of years. They

280
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 6: went to the playoffs, they haven't had a chance to

281
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 6: pick their own quarterback.

282
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 3: It's look, I know the record.

283
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 6: Isn't what it is, but to make a move now

284
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 6: would would be I would say, you know, showing a

285
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 6: lack of patience.

286
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: John Marra really hit it on the head.

287
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 6: The best teams, the best organizations, they let it breathe,

288
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 6: They let these things develop. Having to turn over a roster,

289
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 6: it doesn't always happen like let's say Buffalo, for instance,

290
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 6: or they have a quarterback like sometimes these true rebuilds

291
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 6: take time.

292
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: It's what the Giants are going through.

293
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 6: And to me, John Maher is doing right by saying,

294
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 6: I'm gonna let this thing breathe, I'm gonna have patience

295
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 6: and everybody stop asking me and just watch football.

296
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: Well, let me just let me just amend.

297
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 7: They did have a chance to take their own quarterback,

298
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 7: but they decided not to take their own quarterback in

299
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 7: the draft with the guys that were like they tried

300
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 7: to get up into those top three. We know that

301
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 7: because we saw that on hard knocks and guess what,

302
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 7: like if they didn't believe the other guys and the

303
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 7: other guys wind up not panning out, you'll say, hey,

304
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 7: great decision by Joe Shane and the Giants front office

305
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 7: to not force it in that situation and to get

306
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 7: themselves a playmaker in Malik Neighbors, who I think, Okay,

307
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 7: I know the fact that they drafted him shows, Hey,

308
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 7: we know what we're doing here.

309
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: Got to give us more time here.

310
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 7: Other gms have gotten more time when they haven't necessarily

311
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 7: made the playoffs in their first couple of years.

312
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: Can you just be patient? Because sometimes those gms.

313
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 7: Go on to win Super Bowls and conference championship games

314
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 7: and division titles and all that good stuff. So that's

315
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 7: surely what Joe Shane would say if he was here

316
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 7: having this conversation with us, which he's not, so we'll

317
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 7: have it for him. But I would say this now,

318
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 7: and this would have been one of the questions that

319
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 7: Judy and company would have been asked. Would have asked

320
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 7: John Marraw had he had an in depth discussion with reporters,

321
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 7: what are you gonna do with Daniel Jones because you've

322
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 7: got that injury guarantee, which now this regime knows ask

323
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 7: that they are in place for twenty twenty four and

324
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 7: twenty twenty five, they know that that's now going to

325
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 7: be on us if that injury guarantee triggers. So we'll

326
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 7: continue to watch that throughout the season and decide if

327
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 7: and when the Giants decide to bench Daniel Jones to

328
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 7: save themselves from that risk.

329
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: For more on better days for the Giants.

330
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: The Duke, The Duke, The Giant Life Willington Merra, eight

331
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: pm Eastern Time, Friday.

332
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: On NFL Network.

333
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's his name's on the football If you see it,

334
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: you look at it closely, right there, Wells ran above

335
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: the Wilson right there. Big game for the Giants Monday

336
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: night against these Steelers. Big game for the NFC East

337
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: rival Commanders as well. But will they have Jaden Daniels

338
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: their quarterback against the number one pick KAYLEB. Williams and

339
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: the Bears did not practice again today as he deals

340
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: with a ribs injury.

341
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: That is not a surprise.

342
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn had said Friday is the big day and

343
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: to quote dan Quinn, until then, let's go kick ass.

344
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: So that's the plan, Still kicking ass without Jaden Daniels.

345
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: We'll see what, if anything, he's able to do on

346
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: the practice field on Friday and what that says about

347
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: his status for Sunday.

348
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: Josh Allen has been kick at all kinds of.

349
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Different stuff with his new look wide receiver corps. Still

350
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: has not thrown an interception this season. Hey, Amari Cooper

351
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: and company travel to face Seattle this week. We'll break

352
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: it all down right after this on the insts. Eagles

353
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: offense got rolling last week with Saquon Barkley. The Eagles

354
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: defense has been rolling for a little while. Huge game

355
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: last week against the Giants. Poor Daniel Jones just has

356
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: the back of his jersey and name plate in that shot.

357
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Eight total sacks, they allowed just three points. A little

358
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: bit different challenge this week though, as they go into

359
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and take on the Bengals. Welcome back to the

360
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: Insiders of Tom pelaicerro join now by Jeff Chdea as

361
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: well as Mark Ross. Jeff, when you look at what

362
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles doing defensively, we know they've pumped a lot

363
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: of resources into that side of the ball. What are

364
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: you looking for from them in what figures? Is kind

365
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: of a big game for both these teams to try

366
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: to take another step forward on Sunday.

367
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 11: Well, certainly a continuation of what they've been doing the

368
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 11: last two games.

369
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 9: Tom, you talk about those sacks.

370
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 11: They've had thirteen sacks in the last two games, only

371
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 11: six in the previous four games. So they're getting on

372
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 11: track there. They're number seven and scoring now number nine

373
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 11: yards allowed. But defensive coordinator Fic Bangio said, a big

374
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 11: part of this is guys just getting used to what

375
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 11: he's trying to do.

376
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 9: He's been very.

377
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 11: Happy with what he's seen from some of the younger players. Now,

378
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 11: Cooper Degen going into the nickel when you and Mitchell

379
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 11: has been a good player at the corner. You're seeing

380
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 11: guys like nacolbe Dean and Nolan Smith and Brice Huff

381
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 11: getting after the quarterback. So things are going in the

382
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 11: right direction despite all the drama around Philadelphia. Mark, and yes,

383
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 11: this we stand against the Bengals with that offense will

384
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 11: be their biggest test so far.

385
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

386
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 10: And he left out they played with Shaun Watson and

387
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 10: Daniel Jones and those offensive the lines that.

388
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: Might help out this a little bit.

389
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 9: But they're rolling.

390
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 10: They're rolling in session story, Mark, they're rolling. But we

391
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 10: know this team is going to go as far as

392
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 10: Jalen Hurts takes them. And we know how dynamic Saquon

393
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 10: Barkley has been the past two weeks, and really their

394
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 10: offense has been Saquon and in Jalen Hurts. Hey, you

395
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 10: just throwing up the AJ Brown and he's going to

396
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 10: make a play for you. But there really hasn't been

397
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 10: a lot of flow, a lot of continuity in this offense.

398
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 10: And you're really looking at Jalen Hurts and I always

399
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 10: go back to my scouting days and what were the

400
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 10: strengths and weaknesses of a player. And the big issue

401
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 10: controversially about Jalen Hurts was is he's seeing the field?

402
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 10: Does he have great pocket presence? Employees? Those are the

403
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 10: question marks, And for some reason this year he regressed

404
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 10: back to that where he is just back in the

405
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 10: pocket and it does not feel does not feeling things

406
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 10: around him and is not seeing the field very well

407
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 10: and it's just not making quick decisions. So is this

408
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 10: the game that Jalen Hurts breaks out of that and

409
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 10: starts showing the glimpses of what almost won him the

410
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 10: Super Bowl and had him in MVP contention. So Eagles fans,

411
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 10: I live here in Philly, a lot of angst about

412
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 10: Jalen Hurts, So what's going on there? So against his

413
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 10: Bengals d will we see a re emergence of Jalen Hurts?

414
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 10: Are more of the same indecisiveness?

415
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: Mark? I have that game.

416
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: I'll be there in Cincinnati on So they talked to

417
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: Mike Hilton on the phone today and he said, the

418
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: biggest key in this game is make him one dimensional.

419
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: Don't let Saquon beat you running the football. Force Jalen

420
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: Hurts to win it with his arm. You probably don't

421
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: want to always make Josh Allen win it with his arm,

422
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: because a lot of the time he can win it,

423
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: especially when they keep upgrading his wide receiver group, including

424
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: the trade last week for Marie Cooper who what five

425
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: days later out and had four catches for sixty six

426
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Good, I have a little better

427
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: numbers if he didn't have a big drop in the

428
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: early portion of this game. Here's what Josh Allen has

429
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: to say about AMRII Cooper now.

430
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 12: Just trying to get as much time as possible with him,

431
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 12: talking about little nuances in our game plan, things that

432
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 12: I like to see and vice versa. So just trying

433
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 12: to get on the same page. But again, his professionalism

434
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 12: is through the roof. He's always working on his craft.

435
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 12: He's easy to talk to about what he likes and

436
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 12: you know, I'm excited to see what we can do.

437
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: Mark, you're watching Amari Cooper.

438
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: You've seen a lot of him over the years, with

439
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: now four teams because he's been traded three times in

440
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: his career. What is this version of Amari Cooper capable

441
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: of doing? For this Bills offenses? They do get more

442
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: comfortable together.

443
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 10: Well, I'll think we'll see the best version because he's

444
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 10: playing with the best quarterback and also a lot of

445
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 10: other players that can make plays. And you know, all

446
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 10: off season when the Bills lost Diggs and gave Davis,

447
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 10: it was now, well do the committee thing.

448
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: We'll go in there, Josh'll do it, We'll run the ball.

449
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 10: Well, it took five to six games before, like, you

450
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 10: know what, we need a number one guy in here,

451
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 10: and Amari Cooper's presence just makes everybody else better. Yes,

452
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 10: Josh Allen can take over a game and play hero ball,

453
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 10: but that's not what you want from the Bills offense.

454
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 10: That has shown that that can't take them all the way.

455
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 10: I think this addition of Amari Cooper can take them

456
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 10: all the way because you have Josh Allen doing the

457
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 10: hero ball and now you have a legitimate number one

458
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 10: wide receiver and Amari Cooper who can give you digs

459
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 10: like production without some of the other stuff too. And

460
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 10: then he makes everybody else better around him because they

461
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 10: can settle into their natural roles of where they are.

462
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 10: Kean Coleman doesn't have to be the wan er too,

463
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 10: Dalton kin k doesn't have to be the one. Those

464
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 10: guys can settle into what they do best, and Amari

465
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 10: changes the landscape of that whole entire offense.

466
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 9: Jeff.

467
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 10: But just like we talked about Jalen Hurts with the Eagles,

468
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 10: we know it all starts it ends with that man,

469
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 10: Josh Allen.

470
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 11: Yeah, man, Josh Allen probably hasn't got enough credit for

471
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 11: how he's taking care of the football. The biggest knockout

472
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 11: throughout his career has been turnovers. Only twelve touchdown twelve

473
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 11: touchdown passes, only zero interceptions so far and only two

474
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 11: fumble's loss.

475
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 9: So he's been doing his job.

476
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 11: And you're right, they do need more help on the

477
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 11: outside and Omoro will provide that. But Josh has growing

478
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 11: up a lot in terms of how he's approaching games.

479
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 11: He talked about this week just about just his understanding

480
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 11: of game plans and play calling and situation, all that

481
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 11: helping him being a more efficient player. And he also

482
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 11: recognizes that the Seattle defense, which has been up and down,

483
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 11: really gave the Alanta Falcons a lot of fits. Four

484
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 11: street turnovers in that game, and they've got some good corners.

485
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 11: So he's looking forward to this challenge and being able

486
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 11: to showcase what he can do with a Mari and

487
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 11: the fact that he can still take care of the football.

488
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's of our twelve touchdown passes without an interception

489
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: the record for most touchdowns on the interceptions the start

490
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: of season. Peyton Manning had twenty back in twenty thirteen,

491
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: with the Broncos of Josh Allen coming up on pretty

492
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: rare air, Mark Jeffrey, thank you very much, Judy.

493
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: You know, Dak Prescott would probably prefer to forget Week six.

494
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 5: Probably everybody in Dallas would prefer to forget Week six.

495
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: But Dak had a particularly bad day.

496
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 5: Two interceptions, no touchdown, sacks four times by the Detroit Lions.

497
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 5: The Cowboys are finally off the bye week and it

498
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 5: has been the longest bye week in the history of

499
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 5: bye weeks. A lot has happened in Dallas during that

500
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 5: bye week. Mike McCarthy had some thoughts about it today.

501
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, the belief, the energy and all that, that's uh,

502
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 13: you know, trust me, what goes on outside of the

503
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 13: locker room is not an illustration. What's going on in

504
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 13: the locker room. I mean the practices, the way they

505
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 13: go about it, the energy that they bring, you know,

506
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 13: into the meetings. We're getting better.

507
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: I see it.

508
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 13: I believe it so and I do. I do feel

509
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 13: strongly they believe it. So this is uh, you know,

510
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 13: it's easy to come in here and talk about all

511
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 13: the things that haven't gone right, but that's that's not

512
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 13: a clear picture of our football team. You know, we

513
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 13: won three games on the road and we're getting ready

514
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 13: to go win er fourth. I mean, that's that's our mindset.

515
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 5: Brian Baldinger joins us Baldy. The Cowboys have a huge

516
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 5: game this weekend against the forty nine ers, who are

517
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 5: also struggling. Frankly the forty nine ers, we know Perdy

518
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: did not have a good game last week. The receiving

519
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 5: core is banged up. Something on that offense has to

520
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 5: work for the Niners. What's it going to be?

521
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 14: Well, I think it's got to lead on Jordan Mason.

522
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 14: He proved last week that he could play with the

523
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 14: bump shoulder. You know, it had been you know, whatever

524
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 14: spraying was, what level of spraying. He played with it

525
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 14: last week. Didn't probably get as many touches as he wanted.

526
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 14: But the Cowboys Achilles seal, going back to the playoff

527
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 14: loss in against Freed Bay last year, has been stopping

528
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 14: teams that can run the football. Jordan Based is still

529
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 14: the second leading rusher in the NFL. Like you can

530
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 14: talk about the injuries to the wide receivers and Rock

531
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 14: Perty's regression this year so far, but the one thing

532
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 14: this team can do, I believe is still run the ball,

533
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 14: including Rock Purty, including Isaac Grendo. Like I think Dallas

534
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 14: is going to get a steady diet of a forty

535
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 14: nine ers rushing attack, and we'll see if they can

536
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 14: you know, stop it or control it, or you know,

537
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 14: at least you know, stem it from being like it

538
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 14: has been against Baltimore, which ran for two hundred and

539
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 14: seventy four or Detroit on the last game one hundred

540
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 14: and eighty four yards, or they're lost in New Orleans

541
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 14: Week two. You see Camara right here. He had the

542
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 14: four touchdowns that day. They've gone up against teams that

543
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 14: can run the football, and those teams have giving them

544
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 14: a big dose in trouble. We'll see coming off to

545
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 14: buy Mike Zimber gets this run defense up to par

546
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 14: where they can shut down this forty nine ers attack

547
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 14: and maybe put in the hands of Rock Purty.

548
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 5: It's a huge test for the Dallas Cowboys. Huge test

549
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 5: for the forty nine ers too, if they can stay

550
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 5: afloat with all of these as well. Purty sorts himself out.

551
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 5: Brian Baldinger, thank you very much, and when Marie return

552
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 5: on the Insiders front of the show. Running back Shawn Alexander,

553
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 5: who got a pretty nice recognition this week. He was

554
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 5: named one of the fifty Modern era players who are

555
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 5: still eligible for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

556
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 5: We'll talk to Shawan Alexander next.

557
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 6: Oh Man, so many highlights, so much good then, so

558
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 6: many good teams there and a lot of productivity from

559
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 6: Sean Alexander. That is an incredible list of big time

560
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 6: running back to advance to the final fifty for the

561
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 6: NFL Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty five. Some

562
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 6: all time greats, no doubt about it, including our guests

563
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 6: right there, Sean Alexander, the Seahawks. Great welcome inside to

564
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 6: the Insiders, joining me, Ian Rappaport, Mike Garafolo.

565
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: Shawn, thank you very much for joining us.

566
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 6: When you got word that you had made this final

567
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 6: fifty list, what was your reaction to that news?

568
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 15: You know, I'm always excited, you know, just like any competitor.

569
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 15: When you're like second grade and you start doing stuff,

570
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 15: you always want to be one of the.

571
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 9: Best, and so it's a great honor, you know.

572
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 15: Of course, there's a couple more steps that I would

573
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 15: want to take with everybody. But one of my good friends, Tom,

574
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 15: who's a huge Detroit Lions fan, loves Barry Sanders. I said,

575
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 15: he sent me the picture of I said, hey, congratulations,

576
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 15: and it's a pretty sweet moment.

577
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 7: You know, back then, there were a lot of running

578
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 7: backs who would lead the way, would carry the bulk

579
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 7: of the carries for the team. Now you've got a

580
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 7: lot of teams going to the two running back situations.

581
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 7: Certainly you were a workhorse in your career if you

582
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 7: had the ability.

583
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: Now, when it comes.

584
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 7: To the Pro Football Hall of Fame, somebody else will

585
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 7: make the case for you before the voting happens. If

586
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 7: you made your own case, would you point back that,

587
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 7: would you say, Hey, this was an era where running

588
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 7: backs had to carry it, and look what I didn't.

589
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 7: Look how consistent I was, and look how I was

590
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 7: able to stay healthy. I saw that clip home and saying,

591
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 7: don't get hurt. You very rarely got hurt.

592
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, he said that pretty much every week. So

593
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 15: so you know, it was an honor to play with

594
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 15: Mike Hogren. You know, he coaches Joe Montana. Steve Young

595
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 15: then comes and he has his own team at Green Bay.

596
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 15: Brett Favre gets to Seattle and goes from spreading to

597
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 15: pulling guards and let me, you know, use my talent.

598
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 9: To go play. And and it's always sweet.

599
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 15: You know, this last Super Bowl, you know, I'm walking

600
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 15: to the hotel, going up to my room, and uh,

601
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 15: and I hear Sean Alexander and I turn around and

602
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 15: it's and it's Barry Sanders, you know what I mean.

603
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 15: And so he the day you know when when other

604
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 15: greats just recognize you and and uh and and I

605
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 15: always give him the great joke. I say, hey, hey, Mary,

606
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 15: you know I love you. That's like, but uh, there's

607
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 15: only uh, there's only nine guys. I had one hundred touchdowns,

608
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 15: he says, I know, I'm still at that door.

609
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 9: I said, you should go back, go get one more,

610
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 9: you know.

611
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 15: And so that was my That was my goal from

612
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 15: the very beginning, was watching Barry, watching image was to

613
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 15: one day be a part of that one hundred touchdown club.

614
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 15: And I knew that one of my favorite players, Barry,

615
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 15: had only had ninety nine, so so to accomplish that

616
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 15: was really.

617
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 6: If Barrys Sanders wanted to come back and get one

618
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 6: final touch, and I would certainly be here before it.

619
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 6: And he's a little older than he was, but my

620
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 6: guess is he could still do it. So you look

621
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 6: at those clips from Seattle on your days and man,

622
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 6: you guys ran the absolute heck out of the football.

623
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 6: Certainly had that identity. Fast forward a couple of years

624
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 6: and they still have that identity, had it all the

625
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 6: way through Marshaun Lynch. Now with Ken Walker, they're still

626
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 6: running the heck out of the football. What do you

627
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 6: think when you watch these current Seahawks right now with

628
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 6: a couple really really good running backs.

629
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know Seahawks football is it was always like that.

630
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 15: It was always run ball, pound. The guys played great,

631
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 15: tough defense. You know, a bunch of unknown guys that

632
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 15: after the career is over, you're like, these guys are

633
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 15: great on defense, but then offensively was a bunch of

634
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 15: just tough linemen and running backs that just said I'm

635
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 15: going to be great. And because we're in the Northwest,

636
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 15: you don't often see it as much, and now TV's

637
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 15: making it even more easier for us to watch Marshawn

638
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 15: and now Cannon.

639
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 9: But that's that's really what this stiff Seahawk football.

640
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 15: Tough defense, but ready guys playing, and then the quarterback

641
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 15: has always been that guy that would fight his way

642
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 15: and go make them play when he was needed, and so,

643
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 15: like you know, it looks all normal, even in the

644
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 15: throwback uniforms.

645
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 7: I want to talk about one of your fellow Alabama

646
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 7: running backs who made his way into the NFL's name

647
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 7: is Derek Henry.

648
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 3: You may have seen him.

649
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: I just looked this up.

650
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 7: Actually, he has twenty one sixty four regular season attempts

651
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 7: in his career, twenty three behind you, so he may

652
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 7: catch you the next game the way that they use

653
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 7: him down there in Balltimore. But how impressive is it

654
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 7: to see him done in Tennessee, goes to Baltimore and

655
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 7: maybe the best version that we've seen of him, the

656
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 7: way that they were using him. I mean, how impressed

657
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 7: are you with what he's able to do and been

658
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 7: able to do throughout the course of his career, And even.

659
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 9: Though he's always been one that trained.

660
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 15: I remember when he was in high school and was

661
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 15: coming to Bama and and I was like, oh, that's

662
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 15: a big joker, you know, and just saying like, hey, ron,

663
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 15: I pick up speed. And you know, the sneakiest thing

664
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 15: is how fast he really is to be that big

665
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 15: once he gets moving, it's pretty impressive. And to see

666
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 15: him go out there and have a great career at

667
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 15: Alabama and then get to Tennessee and you know, now

668
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 15: you're watching him with the Ravers, and you know, you

669
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 15: get Lamar Jackson on your team and he can hold

670
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 15: it or give it to him. That threat alone makes

671
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 15: it even harder for him to stop. And he was

672
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 15: already hard if he knew at the ball. I'm just

673
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 15: proud of him, you know. I mean I call him

674
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 15: my little nephew. He plays hard is the way the

675
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 15: game is supposed to be done. So you know, he'll

676
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 15: be the next guy in a hundred touchdown club and

677
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 15: it's it's gonna be pretty sweet.

678
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 6: So you obviously stay You obviously stay close to these Seahawks.

679
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: You also stay close.

680
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 6: I mean, look at Derek Henry still doing that is

681
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 6: ridiculous that he's all the way up there still at

682
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 6: his age.

683
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 3: You obviously stay. Sean stay close to these Seahawks. You

684
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: also stay close to.

685
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 6: Alabama, and you mentioned the ties to Derrick Henry, and

686
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 6: you know there's been a lot of great running backs

687
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 6: at Alabama. I know you go there and visit still

688
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 6: from time to time. This is the first year a

689
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 6: very long time without Nick Saban. What are your general

690
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 6: thoughts on what this transition has been like for your

691
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 6: alma mater.

692
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 15: Yeah, it is wild, you know, right when I retires,

693
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 15: when coach Saban took over, and so all these years

694
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 15: and of course me having a bit of more kids

695
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 15: and my kids only knowing what Nick Saban Alabama football

696
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 15: looks like.

697
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 9: It's It was an incredible run.

698
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 15: Nick was everything we wanted with great discipline and great

699
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 15: structure and a great fire and made our made our

700
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 15: university very proud. And coach de Boor, you know, we

701
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 15: he's just opposite enough, but he knows how to win.

702
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 15: And so he's now having a shuffle of really playing

703
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 15: in sec football, but he's going to do a great job.

704
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 9: Like you know, the.

705
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 15: Hardest year for every Alabama the first year, you know

706
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 15: what I mean, just and so we we all know that.

707
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 15: And then you you go behind you know, a goat,

708
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 15: you know what I mean. And when that happens, it's

709
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 15: it just takes a little long time. So we all

710
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 15: go get him a year, you know, but but we

711
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 15: expect him to We really do.

712
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 7: Sean Alexander on his way back to Tuscal.

713
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: You know, you know where he's going. He's going back

714
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 2: to Alabama. He's going to his former stopping.

715
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 9: It's gonna be awesome.

716
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,800

736
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 7: Far getting ready for the Rams and the Vikings.

737

Speaker 2: Bridget Condon gonna have the latest for us, Matthew Stafford

738
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: and those Raps.

739
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 6: So Far stadium got These scenics are amazing everyone. We

740
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 6: were stationed outside there for Super Bowl. Couldn't stop looking

741
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 6: at this beautiful thing. Love this stadium. Big time game tonight,

742
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 6: Vikings Rams featuring an actual Viking and an actual player

743
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 6: on a Ram, Matthew Stafford, Sam Donald Stafford has the shield.

744
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 6: I feel like the Vikings should have the shield, and

745
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 6: maybe Stafford should be on the horse instead of the Ram.

746
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 3: Maybe they both have shields. Do they both have shields? Anyway?

747
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Insiders. Ian Rappaport, that is Bridget

748
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 6: Condon hanging out inside so Far.

749
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 3: So We got the news earlier today.

750
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 6: The Rams are gonna have both of their star receivers

751
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 6: Phuka Naku and Cooper cup back.

752
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: What should we expect tonight?

753
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 15: Ian?

754
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 4: I just heard them going through player introduction practice on

755
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 4: the video board just above me and the announcer. When

756
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 4: he got to say Cooper Cup's name, had a little

757
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 4: bit more excitement than the other offensive players that he practiced, saying,

758
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 4: because this team will have Cooper Cup back for the

759
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 4: first time since week two. As you mentioned, they'll have

760
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 4: both Cooper Cup and Puka Nakua back together for the

761
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 4: first time since week one. To put into perspective the

762
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 4: significance of this for this Rams team, both Poka Nakua

763
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 4: and Cooper Cup when they played last season along with

764
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford, the team was seven and four plus. When

765
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 4: Pooka plays alongside Cooper Cup, he's averaging about twenty more

766
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 4: receiving yards. Matthew Stafford spoke about having both receivers back

767
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 4: at practice today, saying Cooper Cup is essentially an extension

768
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 4: of him, so it makes things a lot easier on him.

769
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 4: And then with Pooka, he said he's been missing from

770
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 4: a lot of team activities this season, of course, because

771
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 4: that rehab has been very intensive, so having him back

772
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 4: in the huddle this week was so significant. We will

773
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 4: be monitoring how much he does in warmups because of course, Ian,

774
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 4: as you know, they activated him just recently. He only

775
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 4: had a walk through on Tuesday and then practice in

776
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 4: a limited way Wednesday on a kind of a light

777
00:36:58,760 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: practice because of that short week.

778
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and even if I mean Cooper's going to have

779
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 6: his sounds like regular workload. But even if Pooka Nakua

780
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 6: doesn't play a ton, you know that's going to be

781
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 6: an emotional lift for this Rams team. Emotions are going

782
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 6: to be interesting to watch. On the other side too,

783
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 6: the Vikings have been riding high all season. One of

784
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 6: the best stores of the NFL got a loss last week.

785
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 6: How is this team expecting to respond to that support?

786
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 11: Yeah?

787
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 15: Ian.

788
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 4: I had a chance to catch up with nose tackle

789
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 4: for the Vikings, Harrison Phillips this week, and he said

790
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 4: on Monday, they were in the weight room lifting and

791
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 4: guys were talking about the Lions game and how they

792
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 4: saw various plays, and one player came up to him

793
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 4: and said, man, I wish we could watch that tape

794
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 4: because it wasn't in the schedule, of course because of

795
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 4: the short week, And Phillips said he got a pit

796
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 4: in his stomach and said, that's the last thing I

797
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 4: want to do is watch this tape and That's when

798
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 4: he realized, all right, we probably should watch this tape.

799
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: So he texted some guys and about twenty different defenders

800
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 4: all got together on the player off day to break

801
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 4: down that Lion's tape. He said that it wasn't a

802
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 4: pity party. They weren't watching for things that they did well.

803
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 4: They were critiquing what they did wrong. He said, there's

804
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 4: no excuses on this short week. He said, the biggest

805
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: thing he learned from that tape was there was a

806
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: lack of elite communication. That's been a focus out here today.

807
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 3: He said.

808
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: You either win or you learn. That's what the good

809
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: ones do, and they're hoping despite a short week that

810
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 4: they learned from that loss to the Lions last Sunday, that.

811
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 6: Is all going to play out on the field tonight.

812
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 6: Excellent inside Bridget, that was fantastic.

813
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.

814
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 6: Obviously, we'll see you months later on NFL number tonight,

815
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 6: and now we will send it to Judy.

816
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 5: Well. The Giants certainly hope Daniel Jones learned something from

817
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 5: Week seven, very rough week for him. Completed fourteen passes

818
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 5: nineteen nine yards, He was sacked seven times. He was

819
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 5: also bitched John Marraw last night, declined to critique him

820
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 5: or any other players beyond saying that the entire offense

821
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 5: is struggling, which is very obvious. But clearly Daniel Jones

822
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 5: is under the microscope in New York right now, and

823
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 5: joining me going to be Brian Baldinger and Mark Ross

824
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 5: to discuss and Mike Carafalo to.

825
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 2: Discuss New York football.

826
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 5: Yikes, guys, all right, let's start with the New York

827
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 5: Giants and Daniel Jones. Obviously they are struggling.

828
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: Where do they go from here?

829
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 10: Well, Judy, well, first with John Mara is not going

830
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 10: to throw anybody on the bus. You got to come

831
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 10: out and say, you know, I'm getting rid of these guys.

832
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 10: So that's number one, that's not really news. But as

833
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 10: we saw a couple years ago with Joe Jones, he's

834
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 10: going to keep Joe until he had those bizarre press

835
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 10: confidences towards the end. But that being said, you know, they're,

836
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 10: of course they're going to stick with Daniel Jones and

837
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 10: keep giving him chances. You saw Drew Locke get in

838
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 10: there at the end last week and didn't look like

839
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 10: much of an upgrade there, but.

840
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 9: Maybe with more time.

841
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 10: But you know, it's just Saquon Barkley was We keep

842
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 10: going back to this, but he was Daniel Jones' best

843
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 10: asset and that's really the only time he looked functional

844
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 10: and he ran the ball and then Saquan ripped off

845
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 10: big plays and the defense really played really well that

846
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 10: year they made it to the playoffs. But since then

847
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 10: it's just been a struggle where Daniel Jones from day

848
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 10: one really just hasn't shown a good command, a good

849
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 10: feel for what's going on around him, not vision down

850
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 10: the field, so the accuracy is off. Of course, the turnovers,

851
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 10: and you're always worried about the injury. So you know,

852
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 10: this really is just a continuation of what we've seen

853
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 10: and the worst case scenario of everything that we've seen

854
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 10: from Daniel Jones and his offense.

855
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: Baldy, you know, Mark, this is the one hundredth anniversary

856
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 2: of the Giants.

857
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 14: They wanted those to be pretty special this season, obviously,

858
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 14: and they played two games at home against Cincinnati and Philadelphia,

859
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 14: and these back to back losses they scored one touchdown

860
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 14: and really against Cincinnati that was a very winnable game

861
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 14: and they needed to play from Daniel Jones. He could

862
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 14: not produce and play.

863
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 13: Now.

864
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 14: Last week, the protection broke down. He doesn't help the

865
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 14: protection with some of his pocket awareness. He sacks himself

866
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 14: quite a bit. You know, that game got away from him,

867
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 14: you know by the time they got to the second quarter,

868
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 14: and he's just not good in catch up. And so

869
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 14: I don't know what they're answer is. You know, they

870
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 14: signed Drew Locke. You know, he has started five games

871
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 14: in three years now, five games in four years. It's

872
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 14: not like he's really all that experienced. He's I don't

873
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 14: think he's a good option for Daniel Jones in this

874
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 14: offense right now. They've got to get the tackle situation

875
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 14: figured out because that is his blind side. And if

876
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 14: he feels pressure, if he feels color coming out of him, like,

877
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 14: he's not at his best at all. So I've seen

878
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 14: him play one good game this year in Seattle and

879
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 14: played very well that day, But outside.

880
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 9: Of that, it's been a struggle most of the season.

881
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 7: You're talking about not being able to play well from behind,

882
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 7: not being able to play well when you feel pressure. Baldy,

883
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 7: these are things you need to do as an NFL quarterback,

884
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 7: Like at some point that Giants need to ask themselves

885
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 7: the question whether they've got the guy to do it,

886
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 7: and that point might be in the near future. We

887
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 7: shall see Meanwhile, elsewhere in New Jersey. I will be

888
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 7: clear about that as a New Jersey resident, New Jersey

889
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers not the typical Aaron Rodgers that we are

890
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 7: used to seeing over the course of his career. Here's

891
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 7: Rogers trying to explain what the heck's going on.

892
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 16: I mean, every year presents its own challenges, and thankfully

893
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 16: we're not to the Day New Mob of this season.

894
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 16: You know, there's still a lot of time left. I

895
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 16: think it's important that we all just stay as sanguine

896
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 16: as possible. You know, it's a long season. There's a

897
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 16: lot of ups and downs. We've had a lot of

898
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 16: adversity already this season. We just got to stick together

899
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 16: and get one and then start to build.

900
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 9: Off of that.

901
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 7: Ladies and gentlemen, if you are scoring at home. That

902
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 7: is the second time this season Day New Mo has

903
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 7: been used on the Insiders. It was from one of

904
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 7: the four of us. If you missed it, it's this

905
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 7: guy right here. I pointed the right way, just making sure.

906
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 2: Day New Mod all you scholars.

907
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 7: I love having all you guys around speaking of which,

908
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 7: let's go to your genius.

909
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: Come on, Baldi, tell me what's up with Rogers and

910
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 2: how we fix it.

911
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 9: Well, I have not you sang win in a sentence

912
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 9: so far this year, Mike. So he's got to beat there.

913
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 14: I mean, look, communist offense, this offense is, it's stuck

914
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 14: in the mud. I mean they put up twenty points,

915
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 14: you know, once against Buffalo in the last four game,

916
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 14: losing Street. They could score touchdown against Denver. We know

917
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 14: what this last four weeks have looked like. And Aaron

918
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 14: Rodgers can say those things. I don't know, and maybe

919
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 14: you know, maybe Mark, you can do the research here.

920
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 14: I don't know any defender in the history of this

921
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 14: game that Aaron Rodgers has played against where one guy

922
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 14: picked him off twice, like Beanie Bishop did last week.

923
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 14: One of those off Garrett Wilson, Like, that's never a

924
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 14: good thing. Great thing for Beanie Bishop to put that

925
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 14: on his mantle. But you know, I mean, he's not

926
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 14: making plays to win these games right now. That's what

927
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 14: he has always been able to do. I mean, you

928
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 14: basketball in front of Devonte Adams, like that's the look

929
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 14: you I don't know if that's saying win or not.

930
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 14: But that's like almost dear head Aeron Roddams's that's not

931
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 14: the look you want from a guy that this entire

932
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 14: organization is listening to and bill you around that kind

933
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 14: of look.

934
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 10: Mark, Well, I'm gonna keep it simple with my vocabulary

935
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 10: and not going back to my prince in days. When

936
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 10: Aaron watch, the folks say not it was cooked, He's cooked, and.

937
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 9: I you know going.

938
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 10: I've never seen a player get better when they got older.

939
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 10: I've never seen an old player who's gotten hurt and

940
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 10: had a debilitating achilles injury get better.

941
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 9: Uh.

942
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 10: And I've never seen a quarterback get better with both

943
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 10: of those circumstances. They get worse. So coming into this

944
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 10: whole Aaron Rodgers experience.

945
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 3: I thought he was going to decline it.

946
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: I didn't think he'd play at.

947
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 3: The level he was.

948
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 10: And we're seeing that week after week, and sometimes we

949
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 10: try to talk about what can be done, and to

950
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 10: me and scouting, oh players, there's nothing you can really do.

951
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 10: Once they get to that point, they just start going downhill.

952
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 10: So that's what we're seeing with Aaron Rodgers. You see

953
00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 10: it weekend and week out. He's got to get the

954
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 10: hand out the ball out of his hands quick. He

955
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 10: can't move around, he can't navigate the pocket, and those

956
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 10: things are going to continue. He's not going to all

957
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 10: of a sudden get healthier and more mobile. And that's

958
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 10: just my piece on that.

959
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's not Seguin.

960
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 7: Senguin, by the way, optimistic or positive, especially in an

961
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 7: apparently bad or difficult situation kind of how I approach

962
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 7: the show every single day. But when they say Baldy

963
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 7: and Mark Ross are going to be on and Judy's

964
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 7: with me, how could you not be sanguine?

965
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 3: All right?

966
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 7: How could you not be thank you for your insight?

967
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: Baldy and Mark Ross helping coming for the Indianapolis Colts.

968
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor was a full participant in practice today and

969
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner officially designated to return to practice.

970
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: His twenty one day window to come off injured reserve

971
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 2: is open.

972
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: One of his teammates might need a twenty one day

973
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: recovery period after the way that Buckner had him pay

974
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: off a bet from the Oregon or Ohio State game.

975
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 9: There's a long line of the house, you know, there's

976
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 9: a lot of trading. Be Adu.

977
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 14: Game Organ's supportive.

978
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: All that is some next level trolling. By the way,

979
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: that was Taekwon Lewis in the Oregon Duck costume. Because

980
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: not only Ian do we have you have to pay

981
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: off a bet here, the act of actually ordering the

982
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: costume or somehow getting that delivered to the facility and

983
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: then getting him to dress up for the press conference.

984
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm trying to be the kool Aid Man

985
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 6: for Halloween and there's a decent chance my costume doesn't

986
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 6: arrive in time because it's Halloween and I ordered too late.

987
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 6: How in the world did they get the freaking duck

988
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 6: out a press commerce And then you know, you obviously

989
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 6: can see Judy. You can't see his face, but man,

990
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 6: these slump shoulders as he's walk away.

991
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 3: His body good. I am humiliated.

992
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 5: His body language defores Funkner is a fantastic MC here.

993
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 2: His body language is amazing.

994
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 5: I mean, just all for gott It's amazing, amazing, amazing.

995
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 7: You know, we never Ian you and I never made

996
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 7: a bet, which is your fault because the Mets wound

997
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 7: up winning. But we never made a bet about the

998
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 7: Mets and the Phillies. We should probably do that next

999
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 7: time that happens. You could be addressed as a fanatic.

1000
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 3: If you lose, not allowed to bet, no bets, it's not.

1001
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: Evolving costumes. Yeah, to take your you go and find

1002
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: out if we're actually allowed to do that.

1003
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1004
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: Does the actual Oregon duck look that downtraddened by the

1005
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 1: way way, just like the expression they need the dolls

1006
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: in the yards. Maybe the duck flew in borrow. Not

1007
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: many Dutch costumes are there.

1008
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 9: I was.

1009
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 2: If you have to get away from Taekwan Lewis, say

1010
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: him

1011
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 13: H
