  Speaker 1: And online at MatthewsFindWatches.com. Adam Schefter.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go out to the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Adam, good morning.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: How you doing? What's going on?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: So, going back to the Broncos game from last week. So,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: they get a win in which it looks like the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: offense is seemingly better and more confident. The question now
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: moving forward is, do you think that Jonah Coleman is
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: establishing himself as the Broncos' feature back over J.K.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Dobbins?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's early to say that. Listen, I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: think that they really like him.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: He's going to have opportunities establishing himself and actually doing
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: it or two different things, right? Like he may have
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: the opportunity to do that, but you got to go
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: do it over time and prove it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And I know they really like him. I know he's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: going to have opportunities and let's see where that goes.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: Hey, do you think there's a degree of vindication for
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Bo Nix after the way, first of all, he had
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: that long run and then, Kansas City against that Seattle defense.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Patrick Holmes looked pedestrian at best. Does it feel better
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: knowing that maybe that was the case? Maybe it was
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: the opposition?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing. I think that Bo Nix
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: didn't go through an offseason.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Like, literally no work. So, the first part of the season,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not excusing him. He didn't play well. Okay?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: But I'm just giving you some theories as to why
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: it may take a little bit of time he doesn't
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: go through the offseason and then they have a new
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: offensive coordinator and then there's new terminology and they go
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: back to Sean it's Alter so he's kind of been
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: it hasn't exactly been stable it hasn't exactly been worked
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: on and again he still has to get better I
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: felt like on Sunday that one run that he had
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: downfield it almost looked like.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It emboldened him Like, it, like, made him more confident.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Because I noticed after that, to me, it seemed like
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: he was, oh, I can run. Like, it seemed like
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: he was a little bit more open-minded to running. It
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: seemed like he was throwing with a bit more authority.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: It felt like that one play, he kind of fed
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: off of that game. Now let's see if he continues
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: to feed off it going forward.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: I completely agree with you.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: As a follow-up quickly, Mark, Adam, are you being held
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: hostage in a West Texas oil field by the cartel?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem. I just got done walking. I'm all sweaty.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I don't want to sit there. I don't like that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Like, you know, two weeks before this
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: great deadline. Like, so this is the way you got
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: me today.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Point twice if you're sweaty. Okay. Hey, Adam, the deals
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: in the NFL get done, obviously, in the offseason and
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: certainly around the draft. But in-season trades and trade deadline trades,
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: it's not like it would be in my league, the NHL,
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: where the trade deadline, you know, teams go crazy. Why
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: do you think that is? Why is there not as
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: much activity around– an NFL trade deadline.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Well, I think you're actually wrong. I think you're talking
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: to the NFL 10 years ago.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess maybe I am, but I'm used to,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: you know, 50 guys being moved around at times, you know?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Well, hold on.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Ready?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So let me get you my exact numbers. They're on
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: my phone.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I've been waiting to kind of use this. I talked
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: about it a little bit on Sunday. Let me see
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: if I can just get it up right now. But
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I'll just say as I try to find it, And
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: let's see if I could get it. Scrolling.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Scrolling.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I'm just writing down all the drunk takes. Damn. We
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: got a flurry of them in a row. Are you
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: making note of that?
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Well, anyway, here's what I do know.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: The last two years from October 1st to the trade deadline,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: there were 18 trades each year. Over the last four
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: or five years, the league has averaged from October 1st
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: to 17 trades.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many trades you want.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: To say that it's been like... The last couple of
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: years couldn't have been any busier. We've already gotten four
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: trades since October 1st.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: J.J.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: McCarthy, Joey Porter Jr., Cam Juergens, Marvin Harrison. And I
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: think we'll definitely get more.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And if.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: The last couple of years, or any judge of that,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I would say we're looking at 10, 12 more here,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: at least over the.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Next two weeks.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Adam Schefter with us.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: All conversations with Adam are brought to you by Johnson
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Auto Plaza with a huge selection of Chevy, Buick, GMC, Ram,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and Jeep all in one place. Experience the power of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the plaza at Johnson Auto Plaza. So on that subject, Adam,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: two weeks from now is the deadline, November 10th. I
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: saw you on Sunday Countdown. You were going through some
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: names that could be moved. You had Brian Thomas Jr.,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Khalil Mack, and then three different Indianapolis Colts. Do you
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: think the Colts are in for making some moves to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: recoup some of those draft picks that they traded away
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to get Sauce Gardner last year? Are they going to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: be in the market of moving Jonathan Taylor or Quentin
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Nelson or DeForest Buckner?
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: I think some of those players will be moved. I'm
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: not so sure that they want to move Jonathan Taylor.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think they want to. Now, that doesn't mean
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: that they won't, but I can tell you that I
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: don't think they want to trade him.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Maybe they go on Sunday and lose at Jacksonville and
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: change the equation there. That could be the case, too.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: But I don't think that they'd like to get rid
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: of him. Now, Quinton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, they're on expiring contracts.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: They're veterans on expiring contracts. When you have veterans on
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: expiring contracts and they have some trade value across the
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: league and you know they might not be back, it
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: makes sense to explore trades and potentially get something done.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: So I'm not going to be surprised to see either
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: of those players traded. I think there are some other
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Colts that you could look at, Josh Downs, Keenan Allen.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: They could do what they want here, and we'll see
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: how it plays out. But I'm expecting that team to
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: be busy and have moves going.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Are most of the price tags, Adam, are they draft
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: picks or do you see personnel swapping here near the deadline?
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: It's usually a draft pick competition, particularly for teams that
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: have their eye on the future. They're looking to get
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: draft capital back. So we'll see how that works out.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: What's the scuttlebutt surrounding J.J. McCarthy?
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: Because he came in the previous week, played well, and
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: I thought he made some throws at him. I'm like,
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: I didn't even know the kid could do that. Is
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: there a possibility that he hangs on to that gig?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think there's definitely a possibility. I mean, he
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: looked great on Sunday. And if he's playing like.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: That, first of all, he's their quarterback this season. So
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: he's got an extended audition to show what he can do.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: And if he plays the way he did Sunday for
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: the rest of the year, whether it's New York or
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: somewhere else, he's going to have a starting job in
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: this league.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: So he looks fantastic. Let's see if he can keep
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Adam, do you know any statuses?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: This is a huge game for the Broncos heading into
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: this Chiefs matchup this weekend. It's for who takes first
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: place in the AFC West.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: It is also.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: If the Chiefs win this game, they have sort of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: a stranglehold on that division. Do you know anything about
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the statuses of Hufanga or Sertan if they will be
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: able to play?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Sertan, I think he's got a reasonable chance to play.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: That's my understanding. And I haven't checked on Hufanga. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: don't think he'd been back to practice at all, right?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: No.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: So that's not great. You'll get an idea tomorrow when
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: they're out there if he's got a shot.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Sertan... I think he's got a chance to play this week.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know about Chicago.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Hey, you want to hear a crazy stat you can
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: use on ESPN? I just want you to credit our show,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: and I want you to do it very loudly. But
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: here's a crazy stat for you, Adam. Brett, what was
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: that stat about Sertan missing games in the Broncos record?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: You had it yesterday. You told us this yesterday. You
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: literally spoke it into a microphone yesterday. What kind of
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: memory do you have?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: If you remember, I was doing two jobs yesterday. There
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: was a lot of things going on. They're 7-1 without
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Pat Sertan.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: 7-1?
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I thought they were undefeated.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Deadline.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I thought they were undefeated. Made it hit harder.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: No.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: What did you say, Adam?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe they should trade him before the deadline.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, a follow-up question for you, Adam, because I don't
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: think this has ever happened in the history of the league.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: But if you look at the standings in the NFL
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: right now, here's what's crazy. We know that the NFC
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: East has a number of different problems. But if the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: season ended today... Every team in the NFC North would
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: be in the playoffs, which has never happened. What are
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the odds you think that finishes this way?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: How many teams make the playoffs again? Is it seven
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: or eight? Seven. Seven. One by, right. So, yeah, the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: four division winners, three wild cards.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, I....
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The NFC West is going to have some say over that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So I would say no. They'll beat each other up
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: enough that at least one team from the NFC West
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: will get in aside from the division winner, I think.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But the NFC North is loaded, and it's a really
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: good division.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: What is the overall reaction to the Packers and Lions
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: game with the officiated? I know officiating has been a
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: big subject this year, but what's been sort of the
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: talk within the ESPN circles of that?
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Well, I think everybody has their own qualms with the officiating.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: They've gone overboard. It hasn't been good. Officiating, there are
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: always complaints. There are always going to be complaints. It
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: seems like it's a bit more excessive this year than
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: ever before. They're calling things that a lot of people
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: don't see. A lot of roughing the passers are a
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: little bit out of control. You touch a guy, you
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: get a penalty. Of course, you want to protect the quarterbacks.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: That's the flip side. We haven't seen a ton of
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: quarterback injuries, and that is the league's goal, and that's
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: what they're trying to do is to protect the quarterbacks.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: The Scadaboo situation didn't sit well.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: With Harbaugh either, did it?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: When he fumbled last year?
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, with the crown of his helmet, the
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: penalty that he got with the crown of his helmet.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: He's like, what am I supposed to do?
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that's the case in some of these calls.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: You're like, I mean, it's football still. Like, guys hit
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: each other. And, you know, sometimes they're calling things, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: it's hard to avoid.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's just, look, I want to say this.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Like, I think these officials, the speed at which these
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: guys move, the size they are, the amount of calls
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: they get right is incredible.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Like, it's very impressive. But there have been some glaring misses.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: And when that happens, everything comes under scrutiny and some
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: of the good work doesn't get noticed.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I was just reading an article, by the way, Adam,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: about Tom Brady's in sort of weird spot because he
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: was calling the Green Bay game and he was sort
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: of calling out officiating. But he is a part owner
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: of the league. And I know there's like this rule
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: about owners speaking about officiating. Is that anything that the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: NFL is truly concerned with, with him having that broadcasting gig?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Like, I think Tom Brady calls it like he sees it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: He didn't say anything that anybody else wasn't thinking. It
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: wasn't like, oh, oh, I didn't realize those are questionable calls.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, everybody could see it.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: He's speaking the truth. And that's his job.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: So I know there are all sorts of conspiracy theorists
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: out there and everything. But I don't think that that
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: was an issue. To me, it was not an issue.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Final question for you, Adam.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Are you going to be best friends with Jay-Z before
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: you guys host that Super Bowl or what?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: How's that going to work?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: We might. I mean, you know, he might want me
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to perform at halftime. It's possible. Like, we haven't heard
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the end of that story. We'll see.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Where'd you get the Dallas basketball shirt?
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I had a buddy that used to coach there, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: he sent me shirts at one point in time.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: He'll send you a Nuggets basketball shirt.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, Vic, I got no Nuggets gear. Oh,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is that?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, that is him. Telling us he needs Nuggets gear. Okay.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: By the way, we are on an altitude station, right? Yes, sir. Yeah. Okay. Well,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: take care of it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Mosher will buy it. I got you.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: I got it taken care of. Done.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: You got to take care of it. It shouldn't be
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: very hard, right?
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: No.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I will proudly wear it on air. Right?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I would love some Nuggets. Long-sleeve shirts, short-sleeve shirts, L-top, L-bottom.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: First, we've got to get you out of that prison.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Hey, my life is a prison.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I'm a hostage to the NFL news that goes on
• 13:16
