1
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: It's going to be a legendary weekend in Las Vegas

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: where the Raiders could have had the quarterback now making

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: his starting debut for the Browns, Brian Boldinger joins us

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: tonight to break down whether there is home for Shador

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: Sanders to hit the ground running. If your fantasy team

6
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: is out of hope, or if you just got outbid

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: on Emmanuel Wilson and Sean Tucker like me, you do

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: not want to miss our buddy Marcus Grant, who will

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: be here tonight to give you some deep sleepers you

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: just might want in your lineup this week. The Jaguars

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: always want josh heinz Allen in the lineup, and the

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: sacks are coming again for the franchise's newly crowned king.

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Heinz Allen joins us tonight to talk about what's working

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and why he thinks these Jaguars have the

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: pieces to make a deep playoff run. Welcome inside with

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: the Insiders presented by Progressive Insurance. Alongside you and Rappaport

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: and Judy Batista. I am Tom Peliicero. We are already

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: on the eve of Week twelve twelve. Rather in the

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: NFL season. Tons of news to get into, but I

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: think you know that we're starting out in Cleveland. That

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: is where Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski made an official today.

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders will get the start on Sunday against the Raiders,

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: with fellow rookie Dylan Gabriel in concussion protocol. It has

24
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: been a journey for Sanders to slid to the fifth

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: round in April's draft open the season is the Browns

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: number three QB, and now safe to say he is

27
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: fired up to get his shot.

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: I know a lot of y'all gonna be there. I

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: know you can't miss it. You cannot miss his moment.

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: It'll be definitely exciting. We're going out there with a purpose,

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: going out there. So are you ready? No distractions, know anything,

32
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: and you know I'll be excited.

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: All right.

34
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: We know the numbers last week in relief for sixteen

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: passing forty seven yards like any backup quarterback. He stepped

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: in with no first team reps, no game plan tailored

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: to him. Ian now that this is actually going to

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: be a schedore week, what are we expecting from him

39
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: in the Browns?

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, some of it we saw, right

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 4: you talk about like the swag and the confidence. It's

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: going to be legendary. Judging from the words of shador Standers,

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: he at least appreciates the moment and what is going

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 4: to happen on Sunday. Everyone is going to be watching me.

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: This has got to be the most talked about non

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: first round quarterback. I don't know, maybe in the history

47
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 4: of the world. We've been talking about shador Standers since

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 4: the draft, since preseason, the entire regular season. Anytime the

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: Browns quarterback struggle, we talk about when is he going

50
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 4: to play? That time is now, Judy, and to be

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: able to watch him play on Sunday is going to

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 4: be fascinating. Watching him play last Sunday was difficult, and

53
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: the reality is the Browns did not want him on

54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: the field in that situation. Tom, you mentioned he got

55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: barely any reps. No backup quarterback gets barely any reps.

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: He had a game plan that was not tailed for him.

57
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: Of course, tail Dylan Gabriel was the starter. That was

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 4: where who the game plan was tailored for. He is

59
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: going to get all of it on Sunday. It's going

60
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: to be his game plan. He's going to get all

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: the reps. We're still not going to see a finished product.

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: He still has a long way to go as far

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: as being an established NFL veteran. We are least going

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: to see the reason why the Browns drafted him and

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 4: to see him have success. To be totally honest, would

66
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 4: be kind of fun.

67
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: It really would.

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: It would be. And the reality is this maybe should

69
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: Dore's best chance. It may be his only chance to

70
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 5: really showcase what he can do for the Browns and

71
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 5: maybe to put the idea in their head that he

72
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 5: could be an answer for the future, because if they

73
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: stick by what Kevin Stefanski said earlier in the week,

74
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 5: Dylan Gabriel will go back to being the starting quarterback

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 5: when he clears the concussion protocol. Again, this is Shador's

76
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 5: opportunity to have the first team reps and to have

77
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 5: a game plan tailored to his specific skill set.

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: That's all well.

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 5: And good, but it's obviously a very it could be

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 5: a very narrow opportunity for him to show anything. The

81
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: question is, can he show enough to maybe shift the

82
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: timeline to hold off Dylan Gabriel for another week to

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 5: earn another start and bigger picture, can either Shadore or

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 5: Dylan Gabriel show enough in these last two months of

85
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 5: the regular season to convince the Browns that they could

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 5: be the answer for the future. Don't forget the Browns

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 5: have two first round draft picks next spring. They will

88
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 5: be able to get in position if they like any

89
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: of the quarterbacks. We'll see if they do, but if

90
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 5: they like any of the quarterbacks, they certainly will be

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: able to get in position to take one very high

92
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: in the draft. The question is Dylan Gabriel or Shador

93
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 5: Sandras factor into that decision at all.

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: Sanders, of course, not the first rookie quarterback this year

95
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: to get a start. Cam Ward was the starter right

96
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: out of the gate. We saw Jackson Dark get his opportunity.

97
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel, of course, Tyler Schuck played pretty well over

98
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: these past couple of games. So what exactly is Shador

99
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: Sanders first start going to hold for him? For more

100
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: on that, we bring in our Brian Baldinger, who breaks

101
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: down tape like nobody else. Baldy, I know that you

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: watched the relatively limited amount of snaps last week that

103
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders got in that game. What did you take

104
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: away from the tape you saw and what do you

105
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: hope you see this week?

106
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 6: I actually was encouraged. Forget about the statistics.

107
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 7: I mean, they blitzed them, and you know, he threw

108
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 7: an interception when he just got belted right in the sternum.

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 7: The ball popped out of his hand. But I was

110
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 7: encouraged by decision making ability to beat the blitz, to

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 7: find it opening, to find Harold Fannin in the middle

112
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 7: of the field right there for twenty five yards. I

113
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 7: thought he saw the field well. He took some shots

114
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 7: into the end zone to try to tie the game

115
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 7: in the final minute of the game. This throw right

116
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 7: here in third and ten and Jerry Judy was the

117
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 7: right throw.

118
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 6: It was the right read. I thought his feet were calm.

119
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 7: In the pocket, much like we saw at Colorado and

120
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 7: at Jackson State, or you know, before he came to Colorado.

121
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 7: I just thought there was a lot to be encouraged by.

122
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 7: And the fact is, Tom, we don't know how any

123
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 7: of these guys are going to play until they get

124
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 7: an opportunity to play. We can't predict it. We can't

125
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 7: base it off what they did in college. We make

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 7: mistakes all the time doing that. He needs a week

127
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 7: of practice preparation, game planning, and what he said at

128
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 7: the end of the game postgame was important. He said,

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 7: the details of the position with my receivers. It's important

130
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 7: to work on those things. And if you're not working

131
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 7: those things, it's never going to be crystal the way

132
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 7: it needs to be. It's not going to be the

133
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 7: precision of a diamond cutter. And I saw a couple

134
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 7: of plays in the game where I thought, if the

135
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 7: time he was a little bit better, maybe that's a

136
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 7: completion instead of an incompletion.

137
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 6: So I'm encouraged. I want to see what he looks like.

138
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 6: We all do.

139
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 7: But I have a feeling that he's going to play

140
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 7: pretty well and it's not going to be too big

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 7: for him playing a le agent stadium against the Raiding.

142
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: The reality is, when in an NFL practice week, there's

143
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: maybe seventy to eighty live reps tops that you get here,

144
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to microwave all that chemistry

145
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: in a matter of a few days. But this is

146
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: also the life of the backup quarterback. At least he

147
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: will get those reps through the course of this week.

148
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: His opportunity becomes because Dylan Gabriel is out. Michael Pennix

149
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: Junior also went down with an injury last week, and

150
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: we now know we will not see Penix again during

151
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five season. As the Falcons announced earlier today,

152
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: Pennis have to undergo surgery for a partially torn ACL.

153
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins now takes over for a Falcons team on

154
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: the brink, losers of five consecutive games entering Sunday's game

155
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: at New Orleans, and for Michael Pennis Junior ian this

156
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: is a long road to recovery.

157
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. He does have a partially torn ACL,

158
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: but that doesn't mean there's any sort of partial surgery.

159
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 4: When you have a partially torn ACL, unlike some of

160
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: the other ligaments, doesn't heal by itself. You need the

161
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 4: full reconstruction, which means from Michael Pennick Junior it is

162
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: at least nine months of recovery, which puts him in

163
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: the middle of August. It also means that the Atlanta

164
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: Falcons are going to have to have some sort of

165
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: backup plan for him for the season for twenty twenty

166
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: six in case he is not ready to go. But

167
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: the bigger picture here is for the Atlanta Falcuts a

168
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: little more troubling, just to be honest. I mean, they

169
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: went through a lot of stuff to get in this

170
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: position to have Michael Pennix and Kirk Cousins on the roster.

171
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: First of all, they signed Cousins and paid him one

172
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars and they drafted Pennix the same year,

173
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: and everyone lost their minds, right, and I unlike a

174
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: lot of people supported this decision because you have to

175
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: have an answer at quarterback, and you really have to

176
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 4: have a succession plan at quarterback. All of that is

177
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: predicated on Michael Pennick's being good and being healthy. Certainly

178
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: he has his moments, but injury history was a big

179
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: thing Judy in college continues to be a big thing

180
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 4: in the NFL. His story is not yet ridden, not

181
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: by a long shot. But this was a trading step

182
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 4: back of a year for the Atlanta Falcons. Now Kirk

183
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 4: Cousins the starter going forward.

184
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 5: Well, right, The Falcons wanted to have a succession plan

185
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 5: because they didn't have one after Matt Ryan, and they

186
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 5: fell flat after Matt Ryan. Except they can't possibly know

187
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: if they have a succession plan with Michael Pennix at

188
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 5: this point, he's only made twelve start. He's only won

189
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 5: four games in the two years he's been there. And

190
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: now he's going to be twenty six years old by

191
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 5: the time next season starts, and he will have had

192
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 5: three ACL surgeries. He had a really long injury history

193
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 5: in college coming out. He also had shoulder issues in college.

194
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 5: It's obviously continued in the pros. He just hasn't been

195
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: able to be on the fields. He hasn't been that productive.

196
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: When he's been on the field. There have been flashes,

197
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: certainly not the consistency, and there's just no way that

198
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 5: the Atlanta Falcons have seen enough to know if he

199
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 5: is the succession plan. It's just a really difficult spot

200
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 5: to the Falcons, and O is seeing a shame for

201
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 5: Michael Pennix as well.

202
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins meanwhile has ten million dollars that is fully

203
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: guaranteed in twenty twenty six, but that's part of a

204
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: much larger salary. So an opportunity here for guy who

205
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: once again we're going to be talking about will he

206
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: end up being released, could he potentially be traded if

207
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: he waves no trade clause. This is an audition of sorts.

208
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: When you don't often get for a guy at this

209
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: stage in his career. We had a ton of quarterback

210
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: news today, including in Baltimore where it's Wednesday, so that

211
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: means Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was not practicing this time around.

212
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: It is an ankle injury that the team says kept

213
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: him out of practice that is now in addition to

214
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: the knee and hamstring issues that Lamar has dealt with

215
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: in recent weeks. John Harper said it just wasn't in

216
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: Lamar's best interest to practice today. We'll see how the

217
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: rest of the week goes with the Jets on tap

218
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, meanwhile, Listen is a

219
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: full participant in practice for the first time since he

220
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: underwent surgery for severe turf toe injury back in September.

221
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: That means Burrow, by rule, got all the first team

222
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: reps in practice today on a day where Joe Flacco,

223
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: as he has been for weeks, was resting his sore

224
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: throwing shoulder. Asked i Burrow has a chance to play

225
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Patriots, coach Zach Taylor said he wouldn't

226
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: deal in hypotheticals that door may be cracked open. Just

227
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: a bit. Ian Tho Wes of now Burrow remains on IR.

228
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: And how he responds tomorrow Thursday is going to be

229
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: huge for Joe Burrow. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys have Dak

230
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: Prescott on their injury report. He is listed as limited

231
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: with a hip injury. Bron Schanheimer, the head coach, saying

232
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: that he believes that Dak Prescott will be fine. Got

233
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: hit a lot in the big time winninggainst the Raiders.

234
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: It seems like they're kind of just taking it easy

235
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: on their franchise quarterback Judy.

236
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: That's coach Aaron Glenn finally confirmed today he is making

237
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 5: the switch at quarterback. It will be Tyrod Taylor against

238
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: the Ravens on Sunday. By the way, that's the team

239
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 5: that drafted him all the way back in twenty eleven.

240
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: Glenn said this was not an easy thing, but he

241
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 5: felt it was the best thing for the team. This

242
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 5: was under consideration a few weeks ago as well, but

243
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: remember Taylor's Balkyn got in the way. When asked if

244
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 5: it was Tyrod Taylor's job for the rest of the way,

245
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: Glenn said, they are just focused on this week, so

246
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 5: there is a door open maybe possibly that this is

247
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 5: not permanent. Taylor did play okay when he started against Tampa.

248
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 5: They lost that game, but we will see how he does.

249
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 5: A very disappointing season for Justin Fields.

250
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 4: Hey, let's just do this every week.

251
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: Why not.

252
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, still in New York slash New Jersey, Jackson Dharr

253
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: gave some positive news to the Giants and Giants Fancy

254
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 4: was back at practice today on a limited basis, still

255
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 4: in the NFL's concussion protocol, but has progress enough after

256
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: missing last week to be a limited participant. That is

257
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: good news. Listen to interim coach Mike Kafka discuss it.

258
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 8: I don't want to speak for Jackson, but he's a

259
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 8: pretty smart player. He was dialed into our game plans

260
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 8: last week. I mean he's been preparing like this, you know,

261
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 8: even early in the season when he wasn't the starter,

262
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 8: So I wouldn't expect anything different. We just had a

263
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 8: great walk through with him in the in the offense.

264
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 8: So you know, I'm excited for this practice and again

265
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 8: continue that why we practice is so we continue to

266
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 8: get better. So the mistakes, if they happened, that's great.

267
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 8: We can get them cleaned up. We'll get it fixed.

268
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 8: We can you know, take some positive out of that

269
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 8: and continue to build.

270
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: As expected. Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not practice today,

271
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: but it continues the push to play on Sunday against

272
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: the Bears despite that fractured left wrist that knocked him

273
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: out of last week's game. So what exactly, Aaron, would

274
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: it take for you to be on the field.

275
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 9: Got to get the okay and got to feel like

276
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 9: I can protect myself because there.

277
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 10: Added incentive for you for the opponent this week.

278
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 9: There's an incentive for every opponent. But I have enjoyed

279
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 9: many a Sunday and Monday and many Thursdays in that city.

280
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 9: It's a great sports down, phenomenal sports fan, a great

281
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 9: place to play.

282
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 5: I mean, Aaron Rodgers may need something different, but Chicago

283
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: really is a phenomenal city. And look at this phenomenal

284
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 5: interception leader Kevin Byerd. They are doing great things on

285
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 5: the Chicago Bears defense with turnovers, forcing turnovers. Dennis Allen

286
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 5: has it working there. Let's bring in our Stacy Dales

287
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 5: and our Brian Baldinger returns to talk about the Bears.

288
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: They are preparing for both quarterbacks. We just saw Aaron

289
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 5: Rodgers and Mason Rudolph of course, and Stacy would they

290
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 5: prefer to see Aaron Rogers?

291
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 11: Well, Judy, as a competitor, I think you always want

292
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 11: to see the beast, so of course they would love

293
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 11: to see Aaron Rodgers.

294
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: But this is a guy, as you.

295
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 11: Just heard him, he loves the city of Chicago extremely well.

296
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 11: While he's eleven and three in the regular season all

297
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 11: time as a starter here in Chicago at Soldier Field,

298
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 11: twelve and three in the playoffs, he's thrown sixty four

299
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 11: touchdowns passing touchdowns against the Chicago Bears, and he has

300
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 11: twenty four.

301
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: Victories against the Bears.

302
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 11: So while he would love to play here this weekend

303
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 11: in Chicago, I think the Bears would love to face him.

304
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 11: And that really started with Ben Johnson and hearing from

305
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 11: him today. I was out at Hallas Hall and he said, listen,

306
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 11: this is a guy he got a lot of respect for,

307
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 11: has done it at a high level for an incredible

308
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 11: amount of time. But if he's ready to go this week,

309
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 11: we would love nothing more to compete against him. I

310
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 11: spoke with defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and I asked him,

311
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 11: you know, what have you seen? He's faced Rogers before

312
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 11: in his veteran career, and I said, what would you

313
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 11: expect from him? What have you seen on tape? And

314
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 11: he told me he still got it. He's finding a

315
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 11: way to make plays. But more than anything, and we've

316
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 11: seen this manifest this year. He sees things before they happen,

317
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 11: so he knows where to go with the ball. He

318
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 11: knows how fast to get there and how quickly to

319
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 11: get there. And he also told me he's still making

320
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 11: plays with his legs and throwing on a dime and

321
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 11: he said, quote, it's hard to find a weakness in

322
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 11: his game. Now that being said, if Rogers can't go,

323
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 11: Mason Rudolph, the backup is eight four and one in

324
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 11: his career, Judy and Baldy, and I'm sure the Steelers

325
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 11: are getting him ready to a high degree.

326
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: But I always think Aaron Rodgers is going.

327
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 11: To play because he's played through a lot of injuries

328
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 11: in his career.

329
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 5: And he especially would want to play against the Bears.

330
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 5: All Right, Baldy, I think we've all enjoyed watching Caleb's

331
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 5: progression this season. You have a Baldi's breakdown. What are

332
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 5: you seeing from the Bears offense right now?

333
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 7: I see just that, I see a progression of Caleb,

334
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 7: and it's really Ben Johnson and just how emphatic he

335
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 7: is about certain things, like the running game has to go,

336
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 7: and they make it work with two different backs and

337
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 7: DeAndre Swift right here. They love this split zone two

338
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 7: tight ends, Colston Lovelin, Cole Comet, big two tight end

339
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 7: sets right there with Caleb under center and the running

340
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 7: back eight yard seef because they love play actions. I mean,

341
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 7: that's how they push the ball down the field. Heavy,

342
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 7: heavy play action team. Caleb has gotten better at it.

343
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 7: Remember in college he was mostly in the shotgun. He's

344
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 7: gotten very good at turning his back to the defense.

345
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 7: They're always tweaking every week. Here Dj Moore in the

346
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 7: backfield against the Bengals on a wheel route and Caleb

347
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 7: hits him against the safety right there.

348
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: Big play down the field.

349
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 7: They will run it on third down, third and three

350
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 7: thirty four, putting your tight ends out there in the field.

351
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 6: They trust the offensive line right here.

352
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 7: Kyle mannung guy who's been a real pleasant surprise coming

353
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 7: out of Rutgers and late round picking all that stuff.

354
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 6: He's been very good.

355
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 7: And then Caleb is a guy that is just extremely athletic,

356
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 7: and he can get out of all kinds of jams.

357
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 7: He keeps his eyes down the field, he can throw

358
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 7: from any platform. He hits loveld here on a comeback

359
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 7: for seven yards. And then you have to account for

360
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 7: Caleb as a runner, whether it's design runs or scrambles.

361
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 7: He's excellent, always has been. He's got great feet, he's

362
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 7: very fast, he's strong, He's run. Of his fifty two

363
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 7: runs this year, nineteen have gone for first downs or touchdowns.

364
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 7: So he moves the change when he runs. But this

365
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 7: offense is built around the running game and around Caleb

366
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 7: under center, and that's where it starts. And so Stacey,

367
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 7: I've been really impressed by the development of Caleb under

368
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 7: Ben Johnson.

369
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I'm so glad you went this direction, because, Baldy,

370
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 11: You're exactly right. The commitment to the run game has

371
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 11: been a game changer for the Chicago Bears. I mean,

372
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 11: they are the second ranked rushing offense right now in

373
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 11: the NFL, averaging about one forty seven per game. What's

374
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 11: really fascinating. You showed those clips of the Vikings game, Baldy.

375
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 11: They possessed the football for roughly thirty seven minutes to

376
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 11: Minnesota's twenty three minutes that is part in part and

377
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 11: parcel because of the run game. And I spoke with

378
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 11: DeAndre Swift today as you watch him here on the

379
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 11: screen as the lead bellcal and he told me it's

380
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 11: really the way Ben is calling it. He said this

381
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 11: past weekend against Minnesota was a perfect example against a

382
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 11: Brian Flores defense that just shows so many different looks,

383
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 11: but Ben stayed committed to the run and what it did.

384
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: It spoke volumes to the personnel.

385
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 11: DeAndre told me, it gives them confidence and it speaks

386
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 11: to the players getting the job done. So that run

387
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 11: game Baldy and Judy has given the Chicago Bears loads

388
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 11: of confidence to be able to get into that play

389
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 11: action stuff Baldy and really make the quarterback comfortable and efficient.

390
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 11: Even if the numbers aren't huge and his completion percentage

391
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 11: last weekend wasn't great, they were really efficient, especially have

392
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 11: been in the fourth quarter of football games.

393
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 5: Steelers Bears. That is an old school NFL game, both

394
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 5: teams making pushes for the postseason. Stacy Baldy, thank you

395
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 5: very much. When we return on the Insiders, we're going

396
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 5: to talk about another huge matchup with massive playoff implications.

397
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 5: Chiefs Colts, can the Chiefs even get into playoff position.

398
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 5: Didn't think we'd be there. But first, Josh Heinz Allen

399
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 5: is going to join the Insiders. He is the Jaguars

400
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 5: all time franchise sack leader and he will be with

401
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 5: us on the Insiders. Coming up next.

402
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: Shot Gun dropping is justin Herber. Four man runs, scrambles away,

403
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: he gets.

404
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 6: Hit, He's gonna get sacked. Josh heis Allen, got it.

405
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,600

00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 6: Congratulations to Josh heim.

407
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: Talent Josh Heinz Allen on the very very short list

408
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: of active NFL players where they're all time sack leaders

409
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: in franchise history. A big accomplishment for a guy who,

410
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: by the way, still only twenty eight years old and

411
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: on a Jaguars team that is young and has a

412
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: lot going forward as we enter the stretch run. He's

413
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: also with us right now here on the Insiders with me,

414
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: Tom Peliicero as well as Ian Rapperbort Josh Big win

415
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: last week over the Chargers. You're in the playoff chase house.

416
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: Life down there right now in Jacksonville.

417
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 10: Life simple, back to the basics.

418
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: It's like we, you know what, we want to call

419
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 3: it back to normal day on Wednesday morning, having a good,

420
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: clean practice, getting ready to whoop some tail tomorrow and

421
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 3: Thursday practice.

422
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 10: To lead up to Sunday.

423
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: Man, So we're happy, we're excited about this weekend, trying

424
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: to get to another playoff game.

425
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 4: You know, there's it's been obviously some ups and downs

426
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: the season. Every team sort of goes through them, and

427
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 4: there are some games though that stand out the way

428
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 4: you guys want on Sunday, Charges are a good team,

429
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: one of the best teams in the NFL based on

430
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 4: the record. You guys not only beat them, but you

431
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 4: beat them by a lot. What does something like that

432
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: do for you guys? Kind of heading down into the

433
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 4: stretch run now.

434
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 3: Mean should give his confidence as a team, you know,

435
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: when we look at each side of the ball defensively,

436
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: he should give us confidence from the players and coaching

437
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 3: staff offensively. It's the same thing we kind of found

438
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 3: our recipe. It kind of works, you know well for

439
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 3: us in this situation. And then we can buy into

440
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: whatever is being called and if coaches can buy them

441
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: for the players that we got, man, we'll make good

442
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: things happen, and then again offensively as well. I think

443
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: special teams has gone better each and every week, and

444
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 3: we got to keep playing good football, man, good sound football,

445
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: good complimentary football.

446
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 10: If we could do that, man, we can beat any

447
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 10: team in the best football league.

448
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: You mentioned your coaches, your defensive coordinator, Anthony campanili Is.

449
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: Let's just call it a very big personality. He's got

450
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: a very distinct voice in the way that he operates

451
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms. Just tell me about what it's

452
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: like playing for him and how he's helped you guys

453
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: kind of get through a little bit of a rough

454
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: patch er in recent weeks.

455
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: I mean, we love, we love coach camp and he's

456
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: he's been nothing but one hundred percent himself every single day.

457
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,239
Speaker 3: I know there's a d when we first hired him

458
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 3: about him speaking in front of the meet and room

459
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 3: to the players. That's him every single day. And when

460
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 3: we don't get that, we know something's wrong. So whenever

461
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 3: you can come in, be doing yourself every single day,

462
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: demand excellence from every one of us, and then behind

463
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: the demanding excellence, telling us that he loves us right

464
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: after that, compliments him really well and we got a

465
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: team for the guys that actually believe that and actually

466
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: want to go out there and play for him.

467
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 4: You are one of the NFL's foremost sack masters. You

468
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 4: have had over the last three games two and a

469
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: half sacks. Before that, just half a sack. How does

470
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 4: this work when you are sacking the quarterback? I mean,

471
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: we know it comes in bunches, but do you feel

472
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 4: it coming? Are you?

473
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: Like?

474
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 4: All right, I'm about to go off here and I'm

475
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 4: about to go on a little sack run, Like, how

476
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 4: does that work from your perspective?

477
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 3: I mean from my vantage point and the way I

478
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: approach the game, and I want to affect the game

479
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: each and every way. If that's bad, it passes, pressures,

480
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: hits hers, sacks. Obviously, as a patch rusher, I want

481
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 3: to get the sacks. But if I can get the

482
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 3: quarterback off the market, if I can affect them anyway

483
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: that I can, because I haven't had a lot of

484
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: pressures that led into interceptions or bad passes thirty three

485
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: and outs, you know what I'm saying. So affecting the

486
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 3: game each and every way that I can is my

487
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: is what I can bring value to my team, and

488
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: that's what my team expects.

489
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 10: Me to do.

490
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 3: So whenever there's an opportunity for me to make it

491
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: play any capacity, I'm willing to do that. And you know,

492
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 3: when it's time for me to get the sacks, when

493
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: I have opportunities, let's do it. But if not from

494
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: affecting the patcher, you know, the hell they throw the

495
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: ball quick as we get a lot of boot and

496
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: get a lot of all this, So you know, when

497
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: you're really looking at it, it is what it is.

498
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: And I kind of understand that. And so when it's

499
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 3: time for me to go hunt, it's time for me

500
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: to go hunt. And last week, what's the time that

501
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 3: you know, it's a great opportunity for us as a

502
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 3: defense and for myself to get into a lot of

503
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 3: one on ones and and win a lot of those.

504
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: So, yeah, the flipping it over to the other side

505
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: of the ball. Trevor Law aren't the guy that you've

506
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: been with for a number of years now. We've seen

507
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of an up and down for him

508
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: as well. Last week was obviously a really good game.

509
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: Just what do you see, if anything, when you're watching

510
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: them in practice, when you're interacting with the locker room

511
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: where if anywhere do you see the growth right now

512
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence.

513
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 10: I mean it's not just Trevor.

514
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: I think it's all of us as a team and

515
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: guys that have been in this organization for a very

516
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: long time.

517
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 10: Man, We've lost a lot of.

518
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: Games, and you know that affects you and it affects everybody.

519
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: But when you have when you're building the culture with

520
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 3: new people, that people that actually buy into, you know,

521
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: changing this for the better.

522
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 10: You know, you have to be bought in a different way.

523
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: You have to get rid of the old things that

524
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 3: we used to think of, the old things that we

525
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: used to say. And right now we have a team

526
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 3: that can win every game for the rest of the season.

527
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: And so the mentality, the mindset of the guys that

528
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 3: mayor has to change. And you can just see the

529
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: daily day basis of Trevor like leading, leading the right way.

530
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying this is every game matters.

531
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 10: Like you said, we're in a playoff.

532
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 3: Implications and attention to details that each leader has to

533
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: come in. You can see Trevor each day in practice

534
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: take those next steps, command to huddle, you know, run

535
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: the ball, like running the ball, dropping you know when

536
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: it's time, something's not open, taking off running, you know

537
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, getting better, filling the scheme a little

538
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: bit better. So I'm seeing a lot more poise from him.

539
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, man, we got

540
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: his back defensively, and so you go out there play free.

541
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: You know we're gonna we're gonna have to get back

542
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: regardless of whatever happens. And UH, and we know he

543
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 3: got ours.

544
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 4: So football is important, and I'm sure we could ask

545
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 4: you football questions all day, but I think it's fair

546
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 4: to say there's something else that is more important, your

547
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 4: son Wesley. Uh. You've gotten public with him battling leukemia

548
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 4: now is in full remission.

549
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: UH.

550
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: The video and tale of him ringing the bell is

551
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 4: for sure a h I mean, look at this, that's

552
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's just it's hard not to get cheered

553
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 4: up just watching it, just to be totally honest. And

554
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 4: you also have your four to one for All foundation

555
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 4: to raise money for UH to fight cancer as well.

556
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 4: This has put you in a spotlight away from UH

557
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 4: the football field. I guess first of all, how is

558
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 4: Wesley doing. And this whole experience of sharing your story

559
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 4: with so many people in his story.

560
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: What has that been like for you?

561
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: It's been It's been surreal really, but it's also very humbling.

562
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: Uh.

563
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 10: Nevertheless, you know, having my.

564
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 3: Son kind of go through this just puts everything else

565
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: in a different perspective. It puts coming into work every

566
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 3: single day and a different perspective.

567
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 10: You know. At first, I always thought like, if Wesley.

568
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: Can do it, then if Wes he can go through

569
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 3: pain and battle from it, then I can step it

570
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 3: on the field and battle from it. But it's really

571
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 3: more than that. It's you know, my son just went

572
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: through something and his tail off fall every single day

573
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 3: for himself and for our family. And then you got

574
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 3: myself who had to look at it more broadly and

575
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: realize that, like, that's the only thing that ever matters,

576
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 3: you know, me as a football player, it's just me

577
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: as me doing my job. So making things personal, making

578
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 3: things over complicated kind of got that out the way,

579
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: and that was just I come in this building, I

580
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: love football. I come in this building because I love football,

581
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 3: and that's it. When I leave this building, I'm a

582
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: father and that's who I am. And he's kind of

583
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 3: put he's kind of helped mold my perspective a little

584
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: bit better. So it makes playing football. It makes me

585
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: not breaking that record, and since week two a lot

586
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: better because I come in here in My job is

587
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 3: to affect the quarterback.

588
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 10: That's my title. That's why they pay me.

589
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: Of course we want the sacks, but if I can

590
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 3: affect the quarterback anyway, and if I could stop the run,

591
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 3: that's what I do best. And so if I can

592
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: do that each and every week, I bring value to

593
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: my team. And that's what my team needs me, and

594
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: that's what I'm gonna do. And so kind of Wesley

595
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: kind of helped me realize that who I am as

596
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: a person outside of work, and that means more to

597
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: me than the things and people say about me on

598
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: the football field.

599
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: He affects the quarterback. His son affects a lot of

600
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: other people. Josh Heinzellen always one of our favorite guests. Man,

601
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: best of luck, the rest of what you said. You

602
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: can win them all. You still got the Colts twice.

603
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: Make this run, man, We appreciate it.

604
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 10: Can't wait. Thank you guys.

605
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 5: It's time now for good coverage presented by Progressive Insurance.

606
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 5: The Broncos have put the clamps on opposing offenses. This year,

607
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 5: Denver ranks in the top five in six different defensive categories.

608
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: Vanch Joseph doing some work there.

609
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 5: They are tied for first and TD passes allowed, second

610
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 5: in yards per attempt allowed, third and opponent completion percent

611
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 5: in third in passes defense, fourth and opponent passer rating,

612
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 5: and fifth in passing yards per game. And when you

613
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 5: hear how that defense is performing, it probably doesn't surprise

614
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 5: you that Next Gen Stats puts the current chances to

615
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 5: win the AFC West for the Broncos at seventy four percent,

616
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 5: Chargers at eighteen percent. And look at the Chiefs, who've

617
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 5: won the division like a million years in a row.

618
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 5: They're only at ten percent to win the AFC West. Now,

619
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 5: let's bring in two people who are going to be

620
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 5: at the Chiefs Colts game. I'm kind of jealous, guys,

621
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 5: I gotta tell you, Baldy and Bryan and Bridget Condon. Bridget,

622
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 5: I want to start with you because this is not

623
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: a question we've ever had to ask about the Chiefs.

624
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 5: There has to be a sense of urgency for them

625
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 5: to win right now, Judy.

626
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, Patrick Mahomes said it today. It's a season defining

627
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 12: game on Sunday. Look, this Colts team is five and five.

628
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 12: They've lost back to back games. Judy Baldy Patrick Mahomes

629
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 12: has never lost three straight games in his season in

630
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 12: the NFL. The last time he did it he was

631
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 12: a quarterback at Tech Texas Tech. This is such uncharted territory.

632
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 12: Of course, they were asked about it today. Andy Reid said,

633
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 12: we're not overreacting, but we do have to have a

634
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 12: certain sense of urgency. You have to make sure you

635
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 12: clean up the things this week in practice. He said,

636
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 12: overreacting it's not gonna help. What helps is you take

637
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 12: care of business individually and then collectively as a team.

638
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 12: The team believes that their issues are self inflicted, and Baldy,

639
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 12: it's true. They're averaging about a penalty and a half

640
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 12: more this season each game than they did a year ago.

641
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 12: And then also they're zero to five in one score games.

642
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 12: Last year this time they were twelve and zero in

643
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 12: the season in those one score games. So they all

644
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 12: know it's just this thin in the NFL between winning

645
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 12: and losing.

646
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 6: It's a little bit more than that.

647
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 7: And one thing that can overcome a lot of that

648
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 7: bridget is they have been missing on their deep shots.

649
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 7: Last week, Denver hit on their deep shots and end

650
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 7: up winning the game. As a result, Kansas City hit

651
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 7: one the taekwon Thornton for sixty one yards. Three plays

652
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 7: later they scored on a two yard Kareem Hunt run.

653
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 7: They need to hit on these shots and they were

654
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 7: opened last week and Patrick has missed some. And I

655
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 7: think you knowing Andy Reid and knowing the speed that

656
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 7: he has in Thornton and Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown,

657
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 7: they're going to take their shots in this game against

658
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 7: Whether Sauce Gardner's out there doesn't matter. They're going to

659
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 7: take their shots. They believe they can get down the

660
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 7: field and big chunks, and if they hit those, they're

661
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 7: going to start winning some of these games.

662
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 5: Of course, there's also urgency for the Indianapolis Fults here

663
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 5: there in the mix to be the number one overall

664
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 5: seed in the AFC and certainly to hold on to

665
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 5: the lead in their division, largely thanks to Jonathan Taylor.

666
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, how fun is this, guys? That we're talking about

667
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 12: new teams atop the AFC and the Colts, and Jonathan

668
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 12: Taylor is having an MVP season. He leads the NFL

669
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 12: in rushing yards rushing touchdowns, and how do you stop

670
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 12: him if you're the Chiefs, Well, you're going to have

671
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 12: to take him out of the game. I was just

672
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 12: talking to someone who's very familiar with Daniel Jones saying

673
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 12: that Jones was kind of asked about the success that

674
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 12: they're having in Jonathan Taylor, and one, he feels really

675
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 12: comfortable with Jonathan Taylor out there, and when the Colts

676
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 12: can run the ball, but also when you look at

677
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 12: their roster, they have good players in key positions and

678
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 12: then they have a superstar in Jonathan Taylor. And when

679
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 12: you have just one focused superstar, it kind of gives

680
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 12: everybody an understanding that this is the guy. This is

681
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 12: the guy that's going to demand the ball, this is

682
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 12: the guy that's going to help us win games. And

683
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 12: Jonathan Taylor is primed to have an MVP season because

684
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 12: of the offense, the way that they get him the ball. Guys,

685
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 12: he has had five games this season over one hundred yards.

686
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 12: The Chiefs have only given up one game of to

687
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 12: a rusher with a one hundred yards, So it's going

688
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 12: to be a battle on the run game. But we

689
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 12: know Chris Jones, George carloftis are going to definitely give

690
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 12: him some problems, or try to at least Baldy and Judy.

691
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: Time out to Marcus my words, or better yet, Marcus

692
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: the words of Marcus Grant, who is here every single

693
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 1: Wednesday with his fantasy sleepers. It is week twelve already, Marcus,

694
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: We're coming up almost on fantasy playoff time right now.

695
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: Give me your first big sleeper for this week.

696
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 13: Well, we're gonna go with Jerry Judy in Cleveland. That

697
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 13: I know Shador Sanders is getting the start. It wouldn't

698
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 13: have mattered if it was Sanders or Dylan Gabriel. Judy

699
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 13: has been the preferred number one target for both of

700
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 13: those guys nineteen combined targets over the past two weeks

701
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 13: for Judy, and this week a fantastic matchup going against

702
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 13: the Las Vegas Raiders, who have been really soft spot

703
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 13: for wide receivers to land all season long. They are

704
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 13: statistically the second best matchup for wideouts. We saw them

705
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 13: get shredded on Monday Night by George Pickens and Cdee Lamb.

706
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: I currently have a dilemma in a very poorly managed

707
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: fantasy team where my options at quarterback are Shador Sanders

708
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: or cam Ward. We'll set that part aside. Is there

709
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: anybody on the one to nine Titans you think could

710
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: be a sleeper this week?

711
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 13: Well, we're gonna go with chig Aconquo and it's not

712
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 13: really a great situation. That offense has struggled all year long,

713
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 13: but he does lead the Titans in receptions and receiving yards.

714
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 6: He's got a good matchup.

715
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 13: Against the Seahawks. Seattle's defense has been pretty good, but

716
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 13: they have been the third best matchup for Ty. That's

717
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 13: been a blind spot for them this season. Plus the

718
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 13: Titans one of the past heaviest offenses in the NFL.

719
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 13: I expect them to be in catchup mode, which means

720
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 13: they're throwing the ball a lot in the second half

721
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 13: of that one. If you want another tight end option,

722
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 13: this one maybe a little more palatable, and that's Hunter

723
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 13: Henry with a New England Patriots. Five games with at

724
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 13: least five targets this season, three top twelve weekly tight

725
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 13: end finishes. But maybe the more important part of this

726
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 13: whole thing is he gets the Cincinnati Bengals. They've been

727
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 13: the best possible matchup for tight ends all season long.

728
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 13: Drake May has been playing extremely well distributing the football.

729
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 13: So I think Hunter Henry has a really good opportunity

730
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 13: to put up a decent number in fantasy this week.

731
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: Seahawks running backs have been a little bit unreliable this season.

732
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: Anybody alike there this week?

733
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 13: Markets, Well, we're gonna go with Zach Sharbone in this one.

734
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 13: And the thing about sharbon Ay this year is that

735
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 13: he has been very touchdown dependent. The good news is

736
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 13: one that the Seahawks run the run heaviest offense in

737
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 13: the NFL, even though they haven't been super efficient in that.

738
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 6: But maybe the better news is that the.

739
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 13: Tennessee Titans give up a lot of touchdowns fifteen rushing

740
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 13: touchdowns allowed that is the second most in the NFL. Plus,

741
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 13: if Sharpenay can get the occasional target here or there,

742
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 13: there's a chance for him to put up an even

743
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 13: better number this week.

744
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: All Right, how about a defense that could be a

745
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: sleeper here in Week twelve, Marcus, let's go to Green Bay.

746
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 13: Give you the Green Bay Packers going against the Minnesota

747
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 13: Vikings and a divisional matchup there, and a lot of

748
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 13: us has to do with the quarterback on the other side,

749
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,479
Speaker 13: because JJ McCarthy against the Bears in the fourth quarter,

750
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 13: looks like Captain America pretty much the rest of the time.

751
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 13: He is pre serum Steve Rodgers. He has at least

752
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 13: one interception in every game He's thrown for fewer than

753
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 13: one hundred and sixty yards at four or five games.

754
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 13: Been sacked fifteen times in his five starts defenses this year,

755
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 13: averaging about ten fantasy points per game. When JJ McCarthy

756
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 13: starts for the Vikings.

757
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: A'llbe at that Vikings Packers game on Sunday, probably thinking

758
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 1: about my fantasy lineup. So real quick, cam warder schor

759
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: Sanders five seconds.

760
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 13: Cam Ward at least he's got a few starts under

761
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 13: his belt and maybe has a slightly better matchup.

762
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, Marcus, Thank you very much. Ian.

763
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 4: You gotta start chanor the Browns are doing it. Why

764
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 4: would you?

765
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 6: No?

766
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: Tom?

767
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 4: Anyway, the Bills are starting Josh Allen that much, we

768
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 4: know they won't be starting those guys. Duncan Kid, Curtis,

769
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 4: Samuel Mi koh Harmon out for these showdowns. Actually a

770
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 4: really good game on Thursday night. Our good friend Brian Baldinger,

771
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 4: who is right there, who watched the Bills Bucks game

772
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 4: last week knows one thing, and man, it was a

773
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 4: performance by Josh Allen Baldy. As this Bills team goes,

774
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 4: as Josh Allen goes, it seems like this Bill's teams go,

775
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 4: what did you learn last week? As we look forward

776
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 4: to Thursday.

777
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 6: Night, Well, I'll tie you into the graphic you just

778
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 6: put up here. Ian.

779
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 7: I remember talking to Josh on the field before the game,

780
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 7: and there was gonna be no Keon Coleman. Guys were

781
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 7: out right, and He's like, I go, who can gonna

782
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 7: throw it to? He goes, we got dudes, So what

783
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 7: do you do? He found James Cook. You know, he

784
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 7: found Ty Johnson, he found Trell Shavers and then you know,

785
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 7: when he got tired of throwing touchdowns, he decided to

786
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 7: run for three and the last two touchdowns in the

787
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 7: fourth quarter the game on ice and he just willed

788
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 7: the team Ian like, and you know, with the wind

789
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 7: was gusting, it wasn't a great day to throw the ball,

790
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 7: but Baker was playing really well. And you look, I mean,

791
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 7: those guys love Josh Allen. In fact, that's the only

792
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 7: time he spiked it. Usually he gives it to Dion

793
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 7: Dawkins or Spencer Brown or the cyboard to spike. But

794
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 7: I think he enjoyed the finish so well last Sunday

795
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 7: that he decided to spike one into you know, Bilds

796
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 7: Mafia heaven right there. But no, I mean, you're right.

797
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 7: I mean it's saying the Bills are going to go.

798
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 7: They've got two games on the road to Houston and Pittsburgh,

799
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 7: but they're gonna go like he goes, and he literally

800
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 7: will throw it to the open guy whatever the name

801
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 7: of the back of the jersey is. Despite the loss

802
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 7: of kin Kaid, who's really good, he'll get Coleman back.

803
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 7: I think he's gonna be just fine. And actually the

804
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 7: offensive line matches up well one of the few teams

805
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 7: that does against the Texan front Tomorrow Night.

806
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: Every year about this time, I read a story at

807
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: NFL dot com identifying some of the young rising coaches

808
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: that could be head coaching candidates in the upcoming hiring cycle.

809
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: Let's run through a few of these that are new

810
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 1: names on the list. This year started out with Colts

811
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, forty one years old, first

812
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: first out of the scene a decade ago when he

813
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: took over as the Lions play caller and got Matthew

814
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: Stafford to Detroit back on track in short order. Shane

815
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: Stiken calls the place for the Colts, who have the

816
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: number one offense in the league. But Steiken loves Jimbob

817
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: because he lives in the details that leverage, the spacing

818
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: and the timing, all those little things that have helped

819
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: the Colts get where they're going. Lions defensive coordinator Calvin Sheppard,

820
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: in his first year as a coordinator, played eight years

821
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: at linebacker in the NFL. Has been on Dan Campbell's

822
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: staff now four or five years. He has a high

823
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: octane personality, was the obvious choice to replace Aaron Glenn

824
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: when Glenn took the Jets head coaching job. If somebody

825
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: is looking for the profile as somebody as the next

826
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, Kelvin Sheppard might make some sense. Now let's

827
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: go to Chicago where Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is

828
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: going to be a fascinating one. He's still only twenty

829
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: nine years old, but he's been ahead of the game

830
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: at every step of the process. Sean Payton hired him

831
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: as a young offensive assistant. He then brought him along

832
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: to Denver and then Ben Johnson handpicked Doyle to come

833
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: to Chicago. You see Caleb Williams playing better and better,

834
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: You know that Doyle's got that pedigree at minimum, would

835
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: not be a surprise to see somebody want to at

836
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: least pick Doyle's brain throughout the hiring process. Full inter

837
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: names NFL dot com slash Pelisaro. But first we got

838
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: more right here on the Insiders, including and look at

839
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Decklan. Doyle's a baby in coaching terms. Baker

840
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: is an actual baby coming along and you won't believe

841
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: what he has to say about. Stick around and see

842
00:40:49,680 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: Insiders presented by Progressive Insurance Congrants to Baker Mayfield and

843
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: his wife Emily, who announced their second child is on

844
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: the way this time it's a boy. Your thoughts, Baker

845
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: obviously fun.

846
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: You know everybody's like, you're gonna let them play football,

847
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 2: do whatever you want.

848
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 10: My parents didn't want me to play football.

849
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: At a certain point, when your kid wants to do something,

850
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 2: you just encourage them to do whatever they want to do,

851
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: and obviously try and handle that the best way.

852
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 10: But I'm gonna have a little set on my hands.

853
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: That's karma for honesty there, Judy, your thoughts.

854
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 5: First of all, I only had a girl, so I

855
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 5: have no experience with this. But I do wonder if

856
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 5: Baker's parents and his other relatives are laughing right now.

857
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like he gets parenting right. It's

858
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 4: like your kid's gonna dominate you anyway. They're gonna tell

859
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 4: you what they want. They'm not gonna listen to you.

860
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 4: All you can do is really encourage and try to

861
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 4: do the best you can. I don't know a lot,

862
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 4: but I got two boys who are ten and twelve

863
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 4: and they're still here. So that's the thing.

864
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: What's the worst thing you've ever hold him? Never that?

865
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: Definitely not that, not.

866
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 4: To their face, pleas, not to their face out.

867
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: We'll never go to on Friday Night. We'll see you there.

868
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: Everybody not like that.
