  Speaker 1: Sit after the Ramos Law hotline car accident. You need
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Ramos Law, medical doctor and attorney ramas Law dot com.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: We are joined as we are every Monday, by Adam
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Schefter of ESPN. Adam My first question, does John Harbuck
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: consider pulling out Josh McDaniels and just go straight to Buffalo?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Now, no, that's not happening.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is a highly attractive opening in Buffalo
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: with Josh Allen being there.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: But John Horbury has to deal with the Giants. He's
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: not gonna back on that.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm curious. We all were kind of watching the game.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: You see it in you have this elation the Broncos win,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: They're going the AFC title game, and that quickly to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: get the news that bo Nicks is going to be
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: out for the rest of the year. Is this something
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that you think with Sean Payton's experience, he's got a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: good record with backup quarterbacks. Can they survive this? Can
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: they have their own little Nick Foles Philadelphia moment?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I think they believe they can, and I think Sean
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Payton revels in this right now.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: This by the way, if well, hold.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Something happened, something, do your thing. He's got somebody of
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: importance on the other line, so we'll let him do
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: his thing. You know, somebody high in the Broncos food
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: chain told me that Sean Payton is gleeful about the
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: opportunity of coaching up Jared's did him to win this game,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: and he is treating this like the mad scientist that
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: he is. The pressures off. Think about the pressure guys,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: all the pressures.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: On New England now well, and it's also a chance
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: for him, like this is where a coach shows his worth, right,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Like this is where you can prove how great you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: are at what you do.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, And this is where Sean Payton's ego is actually
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: a good thing because he believes coaching matters more than
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: some He believes he can coach this quarterback into winning
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: an AFC title game, even though he has at tempted
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: to pass in two seasons.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well at.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: The same time, I mean, think about it, He's wanted
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: to stit him around. He kept him around because he
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: believes the guy can play hit him ten million, absolutely,
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: and and so he's but he's also been talking up
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Jared Stidham since day one, even though Brett, we know
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: that that Bononix was his guy. Yeah, he likes Jared Stidham.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: So the idea is, look now I can finally show
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: what this guy can do too. I I like that attitude.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Uh so it looks like Schefter got some some news
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: for a waiting time to join us again.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: He's type right now.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's so good.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So here's the deal I started to tell you Sean Payton. Basically,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: he would become the first head coach ever to lead
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: two franchises to Super Bowl wins.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Never happened before.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, Now, obviously you would think that losing Bonnicks, they
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: take a hit, But you asked me how he feels
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: about that, and I believe that if Sean Payne were
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to become the first head coach to ever lead a
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: franchise to two Super Bowl.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Wins, do it with a backup? Oh?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Hold on, he punched his ticket to the can he's
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: but to do with a backup quarterback?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Like they should put him in this offseason.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, if somehow he gets it done, that's that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: would be incredible.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Uh, Adam, do you think? Do your think, Adam?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Do you think?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Well, just you know, Adam, you had a nice feature
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: where you sat down with Sean Payton earlier last week,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: you came into town, you interviewed him. You talked about
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the ultimate low and giving up seventy points to Miami
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: and how they rebounded from there. I wanted to ask you,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: what do players in that locker room think about Champagne
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Because a lot of people outside the locker room are like, oh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: this brash, you know, obnoxious curmudgeon.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But players love him. There's something that there's a connection there.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: What what was your impression.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I think he connects with his players, He understands player
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: He's great at building culture, like all those things that
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: you're looking for. There's a reason that the Broncos once
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: gave up first and second round draft picks.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: To get him. And this, this is exactly why you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: want somebody like Sean Payton.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Like on Saturday night, bone Nicks breaks his ankle, Sean
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Payn's already done his press conference.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: The word is out right like that that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be a Sean holds a second press conference and,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: by the way, sets the tone for the entire week. Okay,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: we could have waited, we could have people want, Hey.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You're hearing about Boneck? Is it true? Is it true?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Is it true? Like, what's going on there? Oh my god,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: they're doomed. They're doomed.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Instead, he gets up there, he is as transparent as
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: he could be. He then goes on to commend how
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: they're gonna play with Stitty and they feel like they're
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: in good hands. Look, that was one of those stories
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that when it comes down like there have been a
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: handful of stories that I have worked on over time
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that when you post them, people like.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Is this real?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, there'll be plus a darn schefter, you know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: There were people reaching out to me like is this
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: did you poste? Yes, he's out, Yes, when did this
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: app Yes? I saw some videos online of people like, yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: it's almost you don't believe it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: You don't believe it when it happens, right.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it looked. It looked incredibly benign to me. But again,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: this is the National Football League at him and those
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: are big men who are running fast and so on. Hey,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: we're not going to get a chance to talk to
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: you until after the AFC title game. Could you give
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: us your idea of the feeling right now with Verbel
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: and company, because they've got to feel pretty good about
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: where they are getting ready to come on in here.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Well they've they've been unbelievable and he's gone in there
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and turned around that franchise.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: In a way.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: In a way, it's a different version of what Denver's done. Right,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: they go out and get the coach, Sean Payton. The
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Patriots gonna get Mike Rabel. They have a quarterback from
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: that draft last Drake May third overall pick.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Probably have bo Nicks. They had bo Nicks. But it's similar,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: similar to what's going to transformations in both places.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Look, the head coach and the quarterback to me, are
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the most important members of the organization. The owners right
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: there too, I think, But I think that quarterback and
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: head coach are the most important people.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And New England got the head coaching quarterback right, just
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: like Denver day.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Adam Scheffer with us All conversations with Adam or brought
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to you by Colorado Credit Union Love where you live
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: with Love where you Bank at Colorado Credit Union Joint
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: today at CCU dot org. The coaching carousel now with
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Bigdermott being fired, I mean we were up to was
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it ten openings in this offseason?
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Well we're ten, but we're down to eight because right.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Just you're all right, Adam, but yes, it was ten total.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Now it's down to eight.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Do you know, off the top of your head, what's
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the most head coaching vacancies we've had in one offseason?
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Do you know.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: What's happened? Happened twenty twenty two, It happened.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I'll give you the exact years, ten before the twenty
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: twenty two season, seventy eight, ninety seven and two thousand
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: and six seasons.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Wow, it's a ton and you start to think, like
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you're looking for quality coaches, is there enough quality people
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that's right for these jobs? Obviously you're gonna have to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: hire somebody, but it's crazy to think you got over
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a quarter of the league. A lot more in the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: quarter of the league they're looking for, any way coaches
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this offseason about a third?
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I think owners pay attention to what other owners are doing.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: And when the Falcons fire Raheem Morris when he's in
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: a four game win streak and the Ravens fire John
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Harball after eighteen years, then you could fire just about
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: anybody at any time.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: What do you think the plumb job that's left? What
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: is it right now, what's the one that most of them?
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: If you go coach Josh Allen, that's a home run,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: no brainer that like he's the best player in football,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: he is free. I make an argument for Baltimore because
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: it's been such a strong organization and have Lamar Jackson.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: But I think if you pulled available coaches and candidates,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: what would be the number one opening? I believe it
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: would be Buffalo for Baltimore right now?
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Can I make this argument? You watch the game like
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: the rest of us, as much as we all admire
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen, what he's done, what he represents, the kind
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: of manny is all that love it. I thought he
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: got outplayed by bon Nicks. I thought bon Nix was
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: the better quarterback on Saturday.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Well he.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: He turned over the football multiple and and I said
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: this on Get Up this morning. Basically you can't. Yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: everyone's gonna remember the Brandon Cooks McMillan play. Everybody that
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: play is going to be associated with that game the
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: way that people say does caught it? Does caught it right,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: like they with the Cowboys layoff game where the Cowboys
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: didn't get the call.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: And in this.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Particular case, that is going to be the play that
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: people remember, people should be talking about just as much
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: as that buffalo turned over the football five times. Can't
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: go on the road turn over the football five times
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: and think things are.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Going to work out, because they're usually not.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Adam on the other side of the ledger, the Seahawks,
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: we know they're for real. And they obviously busted the
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: forty niners of the mouth, and the Rams had a
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: tough one, but they'd come through again on the road. Now,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: this is the third game between those two teams, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: both the first two games were different games, but they
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: were very, very tight. What's the scuttle but around with
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: your peeps about how they're looking at that particular football game.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: The Rams Seahawks.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: You know, if you look at it, it's been a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: case where they've played four times the last two years.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And here I'll give you the exact numbers because I
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: got them together this morning.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: In the four games that they played the last two seasons,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: the Rams have scored one hundred and nine points. The
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Seahawks have scored one hundred and seven points.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Rams have gained one five hundred and ninety nine yards
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: in those four games. The Seahawks have gained one five
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty nine yards, took two points and ten
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: yards separate these teams over four meetings.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: That's real, Waz, Yeah, that's wild. Maybe you have an
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: answered this, Maybe you don't. Maybe you just don't know.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Have you heard anything about the status of JK Dobbins,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Because I think a lot of Broncos fans feel like
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: if he could return for the AFC Championship game, it
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: would help their offense tremendously.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Hmm, it's good thing. I get a chick on that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I show that right now.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, we've got let's get Adam Scheffer on the JK
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Dobbins watch and if we get an answer within the
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: rest of this segment, we got something brewing here because
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: every Bronco fan I talked to, when's JK coming back?
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: When's JK coming back?
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: As if?
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: And I want to ask a more general question, do
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: you think he's the answer to the run game?
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Guys?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Do you think by putting JK Dobbins back there again
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: coming off a major injury to his foot, that suddenly
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: they're going to revive this run game. I think it's
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: bigger than that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it's vic certainly wouldn't hurt because they couldn't run
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the football at all. It's funny beginning of that game,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: if you remember, Jalil fumbled but it was negated by
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the off side. They go, oh, that's his last carry
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of the game, because Sean's not going to do that again.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And then RJ fumbled. They tried some weird fleet flicker
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: they got kicked to bon Nicks. Well, your quarterback, we
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: can get some.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: If your quarterback is you're leading rusher of the past
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks man that you've been playing football, that's
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: an issue. Vic. I mean, that's a big time Issueing again,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna poop poo Jared Stidham because I think
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: that Sean Paton can coach him up, but he's he's
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: not the same guy. Bon Nix's ability to run the
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: football has been underused in my opinion, but it's been
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: remarkably good.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: So we'll see if Adam can get us a live
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: update on whether JK is trending to try and play
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: or not this weekend.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: A few texts, let's see if any any anybody responds.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Got him. In the meantime, Adam, you know, the the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: championship weekend now being set, you know it's featuring now
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: with bon Knicks being out three quarterbacks in which you
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: know Stafford is sort of the only proven commodity. But
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it kind of feels like, can Seattle went. Let's let's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: say this oblique injury for Sam Darnold is so bad
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: that it lingers into this week is Seattle?
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: No? No, no, well, what why would that happen? He played,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: he played.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm just saying it affects him, That's all I'm
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: saying that, not that he's out that shoot.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Him up, shoot him up.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: He took to he took his tour it all, shot
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: took some indos in through seventeen passes, played fine, like
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: no issues.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: No.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: The thing is, does it even matter for Seattle because
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: they're so good everywhere else running the football and playing defense.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Well that that that's the that you want Sam to do.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: What Sam does, manage the game, not turn it over.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Be smart, Like that's how you were hoping C. J.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Stroud would have played yesterday. That you rely on the
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: defense and you don't make mistakes, they're going to cost
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: your team the game. And that's what happened with the
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Houston Texans yesterday.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Santam Chefter with us. He joined us every single week.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: All conversations with that. I'm roughtch you by Johnson Autoplasi.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He gets election service and incredible savings on Ramjeep, Chevy,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Buick and GMC all at one location experience. How are
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the plaza at Johnson on applause? I got one quick one.

  Speaker 2: He's with the Chicago Bears.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Uh distant, Hey coach and basically, Vicky, you know you
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: said interviewing. I don't think you interview in Kansas City.

  Speaker 3: I think I think you just get high like they
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: don't need to the enemy they know. Yeah, okay, so

  Speaker 3: that's just like we're going to go through the process
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: here of interviewing him.

• 14:35
