0:05
Speaker 1: NFL Now is a production of the NFL in partnership
0:08
Speaker 1: with I Heart Radio. Week one on Sunday was great,
0:18
Speaker 1: Week two was amazing. Week three, to quote somebody, pretty deep,
0:23
Speaker 1: pretty good dad. And with that we welcome you almost
0:26
Speaker 1: a week four. Still have one more game this evening.
0:28
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Now on a Monday from our newsroom
0:31
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. My name is Andrew Ceciliano. This right
0:34
Speaker 1: here is Steve White with the Dolphins three and oh,
0:37
Speaker 1: the Eagles three and oh, and the Giants trying to
0:40
Speaker 1: get the three and O the scene. How about that,
0:41
Speaker 1: I mean the undefeated. But the team I'm excited we're
0:44
Speaker 1: a going to talk about is a team on top
0:47
Speaker 1: of the a f C South. How about that? We
0:50
Speaker 1: don't get talked about it. The Jacksonville Jaguars beat the
0:53
Speaker 1: Chargers on Sunday. More and that coming up in a second.
0:57
Speaker 1: We're actually gonna open up with Charger news here. At
1:00
Speaker 1: one point during their lost to the Jaguars yesterday, Tom
1:04
Speaker 1: Pella Sero Brandon Staley was without five Pro bowlers, one
1:09
Speaker 1: of which was Rashawn Slater, his left tackle. New details
1:13
Speaker 1: within the last couple of minutes about the severity of
1:15
Speaker 1: his injury, Andrew. It is bad news for the Chargers
1:18
Speaker 1: on their left tackle Rashawn Slater, who I am told
1:22
Speaker 1: is out for the rest of the season after suffering
1:25
Speaker 1: a ruptured biceps tendon in that loss yesterday. Store Morton
1:30
Speaker 1: took over at the left tackle position. He had been
1:32
Speaker 1: the Chargers right tackle a year ago. But there's really
1:35
Speaker 1: no replacing a player like Slater, who was one of
1:38
Speaker 1: the most talented young offensive lineman in the league. They
1:40
Speaker 1: already were without their center, Corey Lindsley yesterday as well
1:44
Speaker 1: as he deals with his own knee issue, and this
1:47
Speaker 1: comes at a time the quarterback Justin Herbert is dealing
1:49
Speaker 1: with that fractured rib cartilage that did not stop him
1:52
Speaker 1: from starting and playing the entire game on Sunday, but
1:55
Speaker 1: an injury Andrew. The coach Brandon Staley said, it is
1:58
Speaker 1: going to be lingering for a while, alright, So Mashawn
2:01
Speaker 1: Slater out for the year, torn biceps. You saw him
2:03
Speaker 1: walking off there with his left arm like this immobilized,
2:07
Speaker 1: which is never a good sign. And to your point, yeah,
2:09
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert in the game final a couple of minutes,
2:11
Speaker 1: they're throwing down twenty eight without his Pro Bowl center
2:15
Speaker 1: and without his Pro Bowl left tackle. Houston, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle.
2:19
Speaker 1: The next four games here for Justin Herbert and the Chargers.
2:22
Speaker 1: Tom Pollo, Sero Backett a little bit, thank you, Tom,
2:24
Speaker 1: with more news from around the league, more injury. Who's
2:26
Speaker 1: notably about Mac Jones? How about this classically had yesterday?
2:30
Speaker 1: The undefeated Bills the undefeated Dolphins, just sweltering conditions in Miami,
2:36
Speaker 1: end of the second quarter, kind of like the end
2:38
Speaker 1: of the game. They can't get a playoff Josh Allen
2:40
Speaker 1: Isaiah Mackenzie and they get enough and he tries to
2:43
Speaker 1: get to the line, but he fumbled the ball coming
2:46
Speaker 1: away from center. Eventually has to throw the Stefond Diggs
2:48
Speaker 1: and the Bills don't get a field goal off here
2:52
Speaker 1: Steve and we go to the locker room tied at fourteen. Yeah,
2:54
Speaker 1: and that's a frustraction because they're the point differential yet
2:57
Speaker 1: point differential cute, and the Bills dominated time of possession,
3:01
Speaker 1: dominated really everything, but with I'm starting members of their
3:06
Speaker 1: defense out to a tongue of ALOA made some plays.
3:09
Speaker 1: That was third and twenty two, Jalen Waddle for forty
3:13
Speaker 1: five and then three plays later, Chase Edmonds and the
3:15
Speaker 1: Dolphins have a lead. You can dominate the clock. Dolphins
3:18
Speaker 1: dominated the scoreboard. The Bills would not go away. But
3:22
Speaker 1: when given the opportunity, when actually Josh Allen had time,
3:25
Speaker 1: had it row, he couldn't hit Isaiah Mackenzie. That was
3:29
Speaker 1: on a fourth and goal from the two on the
3:30
Speaker 1: seven teen play. At the drive, they get two points
3:34
Speaker 1: on the butt punts. What do you want to call this?
3:38
Speaker 1: Ain't that a kick in the rear? Uh? That was booty.
3:43
Speaker 1: So it's twenty one nineteen. Bills get the ball back,
3:46
Speaker 1: Bills have a shot. The Bills are out of time out,
3:49
Speaker 1: so again it's Mackenzie. He can't get out of bound.
3:52
Speaker 1: They gotta get to the line and they have to
3:54
Speaker 1: spike it to give Tyler Bass a shot at a
3:58
Speaker 1: field goal, and they know they can't do it. Josh
4:04
Speaker 1: Allen spikes is how but again instead of spiking the football,
4:08
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey spikes his headset, his play sheet, his everything.
4:13
Speaker 1: It was exhausting, but it's a Dolphins win. It just
4:24
Speaker 1: goes to show this is why we don't worry about anything.
4:27
Speaker 1: We've had so many lessons these two three weeks. But
4:31
Speaker 1: like who's gonna win it for us? Everyone's getting the
4:35
Speaker 1: game ball for this. We are three and oh, which
4:39
Speaker 1: was not the goals that we set out, but it's
4:42
Speaker 1: all we can control right now. Okay, so let's get
4:44
Speaker 1: back to work tomorrow. But enjoy it tonight. This was
4:47
Speaker 1: a special one. Fellas they all said you couldn't and
4:50
Speaker 1: you did. Hey, we're tun said Suner back this week
4:55
Speaker 1: week tonight. All goals are bigger than just being Bills.
4:58
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We know we want to go.
5:00
Speaker 1: This is just a step to where we want to go.
5:01
Speaker 1: That's how we compete where they're gonna go. Now, Hie
5:07
Speaker 1: to the Cam Wolf live in Miami is Cincinnati for
5:10
Speaker 1: ten f on a short week after that defense, Cam
5:13
Speaker 1: had to be on the field for ninety plays forty
5:16
Speaker 1: minutes of Buffalo possession. But as you heard Mike McDaniel said,
5:20
Speaker 1: they outlasted the Bills. What did we learn about this
5:23
Speaker 1: three and old team yesterday? Yeah, Andrew, we learned this
5:26
Speaker 1: is one of the best teams of football so far
5:28
Speaker 1: this season. I've been at every game they've played, and look,
5:31
Speaker 1: whatever our expectations are, we should recalibrate them because they
5:35
Speaker 1: should be considered one of the A f C contenders.
5:37
Speaker 1: They've won just about every way you can imagine. We
5:40
Speaker 1: remember last week in Baltimore, they came back that one
5:43
Speaker 1: point victory to have thrown the ball to Tyreek and Jalen.
5:46
Speaker 1: This one was about the defense. They blitzed Josh Allen,
5:49
Speaker 1: they held him the seven team point to spite spite
5:51
Speaker 1: playing ninety plays. And this was a real complete game
5:54
Speaker 1: for them as a team. And look after the game,
5:57
Speaker 1: you just saw guys around the locker room saying, hey,
5:59
Speaker 1: this is the expectation. Javon Hollands told me that we're fighters.
6:03
Speaker 1: Don't ever count us out. And I want to start
6:05
Speaker 1: in with Tah because Tah everything revolves around him. I
6:09
Speaker 1: remember walking off the field and he's raising his hands
6:12
Speaker 1: in the air as the as the whole crowd is
6:15
Speaker 1: yelling his name and cheering him. Coming off the field.
6:18
Speaker 1: Is a complete turnaround for maybe the off season talk
6:21
Speaker 1: of can he be this guy? Can he be the
6:23
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback? I think that question is going outside the window.
6:26
Speaker 1: He is a Dolphins franchise quarterback. The Dolphins are a
6:29
Speaker 1: playoff in an f C contender, and this team has
6:31
Speaker 1: really changed the way we view them going forward. Big
6:34
Speaker 1: a f C battle against the Bengals coming up. But
6:36
Speaker 1: the Dolphins they deserve our respect. Okay. I mean, look,
6:40
Speaker 1: coming in, a lot of people had them. Maybe it's
6:42
Speaker 1: a wild card team behind Buffalo, and maybe that's how
6:44
Speaker 1: it ends up. I mean, we're still only three weeks
6:47
Speaker 1: into a seventeen game season. But what the Dolphins shown
6:50
Speaker 1: us is the resilience. And we look at the comeback
6:52
Speaker 1: that they had last week and then they come out.
6:54
Speaker 1: Sure the Buffalo Bills were down to some players, but
6:57
Speaker 1: they had to grind this out. The fact that their
6:59
Speaker 1: defense is on the on the field for more than
7:01
Speaker 1: ninety plays and they held up like they did. I mean,
7:05
Speaker 1: that really says a lot about where this team is now.
7:08
Speaker 1: The catchphrase coming out of this weekend, though I heard
7:10
Speaker 1: over and over is okay, analty how we do when
7:13
Speaker 1: we have some adversity, because that diversity is coming from
7:15
Speaker 1: Miami at some point. They showed it last week. They
7:18
Speaker 1: showed at times yesterday kind of in game situations. And
7:22
Speaker 1: Javon Hall, I'm glad you brought him up. There's the
7:24
Speaker 1: sack of the Forest fumble early on the game that
7:26
Speaker 1: leads to a quick touchdown. I think that was an
7:29
Speaker 1: important tone center by the way the Dolphins defense played
7:32
Speaker 1: the rest of that game, in the way overall the
7:34
Speaker 1: complimentary football they played again for a threatening Bills team
7:38
Speaker 1: that had every opportunity to win that game was held out.
7:43
Speaker 1: And it's not as if Josh Allen didn't make plays.
7:47
Speaker 1: They had nearly five yards of offense, and sometimes he
7:50
Speaker 1: did beat the blood. Sometimes he saw where it was
7:52
Speaker 1: coming from, and they did capitalize, but they couldn't do
7:55
Speaker 1: it enough, and they couldn't do it in the red zone.
7:57
Speaker 1: You could get all your yard did you want in
7:58
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Coming in, they had outscored
8:01
Speaker 1: cam The Bills had opponents seventy two to seventeen. They
8:04
Speaker 1: had won seven consecutive over the Dolphins by an average
8:07
Speaker 1: of nineteen points a game. Next up, the Bills get
8:11
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Where do we look at them after this one? Yeah,
8:15
Speaker 1: this doesn't change our outlook of the Bills. They're still
8:17
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in football, but it does
8:19
Speaker 1: give a little bit of a wake up call. This
8:20
Speaker 1: a f c S is not going to be a
8:22
Speaker 1: cake walk. The Dolphins are gonna be there throughout the
8:24
Speaker 1: season and Mike McDaniel said it after the game. Look,
8:26
Speaker 1: if they took us lightly this week, they won't the
8:29
Speaker 1: next time we play. But the Bills, they dealt with
8:31
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. They're gonna get Jordan's fourrier back soon,
8:33
Speaker 1: They're gonna get some defensive tackles back, and I'm not
8:36
Speaker 1: worried about them in the long term. There's two things
8:38
Speaker 1: I am worried about them getting fixed their oh and
8:41
Speaker 1: seven and once four games dating back to last year.
8:44
Speaker 1: They have to figure out how to close those games.
8:46
Speaker 1: And somebody other than Josh Allen has to run the
8:48
Speaker 1: ball the second time in three games that he has
8:50
Speaker 1: been their leading rusher. They need to share the share
8:53
Speaker 1: of the burden with him in the back of the field.
8:54
Speaker 1: And obviously we will get a Josh Allen to a
8:57
Speaker 1: tongue of by lower rematch a little bit later in
9:00
Speaker 1: the season. Thank you, cam Wolf. They're live in Miami
9:03
Speaker 1: where the Dolphins are three and ohd Now to get
9:05
Speaker 1: to the to a story you did see this. Matt
9:07
Speaker 1: Mulano flagged for roughing the passer to a seemingly hits
9:11
Speaker 1: the ground, his helmet hits the turf, and then as
9:15
Speaker 1: he goes back to the huddle with the flag down,
9:17
Speaker 1: he stumbles. He was immediately taken from the game, went
9:22
Speaker 1: into the locker room, but then re entered the story
9:26
Speaker 1: now a day later. Ian Rappaport at MetLife Stadium will
9:31
Speaker 1: get more on Monday night coming up in a second.
9:33
Speaker 1: Tom pel Sero back with me as well. Tom. The
9:36
Speaker 1: nfl p A has raised its hand once a little
9:38
Speaker 1: more information to it went back in the game after
9:41
Speaker 1: the Dolphins initially announced both in the press box and
9:44
Speaker 1: on Twitter that Too was being evaluated for a head
9:48
Speaker 1: injury and his return was questionable. That's right, Andrew, and
9:52
Speaker 1: that's what the Dolphins initially believed, as many people did
9:55
Speaker 1: who were watching on TV. The to a Tongue Baloa
9:57
Speaker 1: had suffered a concussion that caused him to stumble as
10:00
Speaker 1: he tried to leave the field. However, according to Ta
10:03
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins, this was actually product of a back injury.
10:06
Speaker 1: To It described it as a hyper extension that he
10:08
Speaker 1: had suffered on a quarterback sneak. Then when he took
10:11
Speaker 1: that other hit that did cause his head to bounce
10:14
Speaker 1: off the turf. Who has said that the back entirely
10:16
Speaker 1: locked up and that's why he could not walk. If
10:19
Speaker 1: you read the NFL n f L p A Concussion Protocol,
10:22
Speaker 1: one of the items on the checklist is about gross
10:25
Speaker 1: motor instability, which is a disqualifier for a player to
10:28
Speaker 1: return to the game if the team physician in consultation
10:32
Speaker 1: with the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant who's at every NFL game,
10:36
Speaker 1: determined it is a product and caused by neurological issues.
10:41
Speaker 1: In this case, the doctors determined it was actually caused
10:44
Speaker 1: by to his back. However, the NFL p A does
10:46
Speaker 1: have the right, as do every player and the league itself,
10:50
Speaker 1: to file a complaint and alleged potential violations of the
10:54
Speaker 1: concussion protocols. So that's what the union has done here
10:57
Speaker 1: in the NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association
11:01
Speaker 1: now will jointly investigate and render a decision. Yeah, it's
11:05
Speaker 1: gonna be some time before we figure out and find
11:07
Speaker 1: out what the results of this decision are. Meanwhile, uh
11:10
Speaker 1: to Ah, who did show up a post game with
11:13
Speaker 1: his back tightly wrapped with a bulky uh some sort
11:16
Speaker 1: of apparatus on his back, certainly too will continue to
11:19
Speaker 1: play and play through this, and we will monitor how
11:21
Speaker 1: he's doing the optics. No doubt we're bad. You see
11:25
Speaker 1: two take a late hit from Matt Milano, his head
11:27
Speaker 1: banged and the turf gets up wobbly. It all looked
11:30
Speaker 1: bad in the stadium on TV, and then you find
11:33
Speaker 1: out later that it's actually a backslash neck injury, more
11:36
Speaker 1: so that that caused the wobbling. Obviously, it is also
11:40
Speaker 1: worth noting Tom that it is an independent neurologist and
11:44
Speaker 1: independent doctors who make the choice of whether or not
11:47
Speaker 1: too it can return to the field. It's not simply
11:48
Speaker 1: the Dolphins saying all right, you're good to go. More
11:51
Speaker 1: information as this comes as the NFL and the NFL
11:53
Speaker 1: p A now look into it. With a short week
11:56
Speaker 1: here for the Dolphins, as mentioned, they are back at
11:58
Speaker 1: it Thursday on the road in Cincinnati on TNF. Meantime,
12:04
Speaker 1: Tom Um, the Patriots are going to Lambeo. They're facing
12:08
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. That is a CBS game
12:10
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon and that late window, and it sounds
12:15
Speaker 1: as if they're going to have to do it without
12:16
Speaker 1: mac Jones. What do we know? Glanders Ian and I
12:19
Speaker 1: reported just a few minutes ago mac Jones did undergo
12:22
Speaker 1: further test today revealed he has a pretty severe high
12:25
Speaker 1: ankle sprain that means ligament damage in his ankle. By
12:30
Speaker 1: and large, these are multiple week types of injuries. Mac
12:33
Speaker 1: is getting a second opinion, so the timetable is still
12:36
Speaker 1: to be determined here. The hope I am told is
12:40
Speaker 1: that he will not need surgery on that ankle, But
12:43
Speaker 1: hard to imagine that he's going to turn around one
12:45
Speaker 1: week later and play against the Packers, which means, in
12:48
Speaker 1: and all likelihood it is going to be the veteran
12:51
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer getting the start in that game with rookie
12:54
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy servant as the backup. And there's a reason
12:57
Speaker 1: that Brian Hoyer has stayed on in the NFL, stayed
12:59
Speaker 1: on with the Patriots. Probably knows this offense as well
13:02
Speaker 1: as anyone, or maybe even more so considering his incredible
13:07
Speaker 1: volume of plays that have been in his head for
13:09
Speaker 1: the last decade or so. So Brian Hoyer certainly a
13:12
Speaker 1: stable option. When he's done it, it has gone absolutely fine.
13:15
Speaker 1: It has been a mentor to mac Jones. Also worth
13:18
Speaker 1: noting Tom where mac Jones comes from Bladed Alabama, That
13:22
Speaker 1: is where tight rope surgery was popularized. Dr lyle Kine.
13:26
Speaker 1: The Alabama team position essentially created it UH just to
13:29
Speaker 1: deal with and accelerate high ankle sprains. Perhaps if mac
13:33
Speaker 1: Jones does have surgery, that would be what he would
13:36
Speaker 1: get him would be getting it from one of the
13:37
Speaker 1: nation's experts as well. All right, then the next four
13:40
Speaker 1: games for the Patriots at the Packers and then home
13:43
Speaker 1: for the Lions, then a trip to Cleveland have been
13:45
Speaker 1: home for the Bears. Brian Hoyer has not started a
13:48
Speaker 1: game since. He has not led a team to a
13:51
Speaker 1: victory as a starter since twenty sixteen, when he was
13:55
Speaker 1: with the Bears Ian Rappaport, Tom Pelaicero with mac Jones
14:00
Speaker 1: reportedly suffering a pretty severe high ankle sprain. As for
14:04
Speaker 1: those Ackers, they went to Tampa, they did the job
14:08
Speaker 1: over Tom Brady and the Bucketeers and hung on for
14:10
Speaker 1: dear life. The latest from that one in the Battle
14:14
Speaker 1: of Allegend Goats next, nothing can stop me right, you're
14:24
Speaker 1: watching NFL now NFL networking at a Battle of the Goats,
14:26
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Tampa yesterday Bucks coming in
14:30
Speaker 1: at two and oh, but they couldn't get the offense
14:32
Speaker 1: going until finally with fourteen seconds left, Russell Gage takes
14:37
Speaker 1: a hit, scores a touchdown, and now they need the
14:39
Speaker 1: two point conversion. But oh no, like man, all right,
14:46
Speaker 1: so they back up five Steve and they try to
14:50
Speaker 1: get Gage again, but the Vandre Campbell look at that
14:54
Speaker 1: knocks it down and the Packers get a win fourteen
14:58
Speaker 1: to twelve. Both teams played hard, the man, both teams
15:01
Speaker 1: played hard. You would have said in the off season
15:04
Speaker 1: we'd be two and one after three. Were these two
15:07
Speaker 1: tough road games, I'd say that's probably pretty good, you know,
15:10
Speaker 1: considering that you would expect Minnesota and and Tampa Bay
15:14
Speaker 1: to be, you know, the top in the top seven
15:16
Speaker 1: teams at the end of the season. So I feel
15:18
Speaker 1: good about that. I can always do better. I can
15:20
Speaker 1: always obviously do better as a quarterback, and yeah, not
15:26
Speaker 1: let my emotions get the best of me. Sometimes they do.
15:28
Speaker 1: You know, it's an emotional sport, it's emotional game, um,
15:33
Speaker 1: and we're all out there trying to do the best
15:34
Speaker 1: we could do. And you're right, it's I think there's
15:36
Speaker 1: a frustrating part and for all of us when you
15:39
Speaker 1: get a little older and you expected a certain way
15:41
Speaker 1: and it doesn't go exactly the way you want so,
15:44
Speaker 1: but that's that's it. That's way it is, And um,
15:46
Speaker 1: you know, I got to do a good job as
15:48
Speaker 1: a leader to be at my best, you know, regardless
15:51
Speaker 1: of how I feel about a certain situation. They really
15:54
Speaker 1: had nothing going high there, Mark Ross, nothing going offensively,
15:57
Speaker 1: only a couple of field goals, and Brady clearly wasn't
16:00
Speaker 1: on the same page understandably with a group of wide
16:03
Speaker 1: receivers he had hardly practice with, say, other than Darden
16:06
Speaker 1: or Gauge or Scottie. But at the end, Mark, it's
16:10
Speaker 1: the delay of game that stands out now. Bucketeers Twitter
16:16
Speaker 1: says that the play clock was only twenty and that
16:19
Speaker 1: it should have been obviously and that that's why there
16:22
Speaker 1: was a delay. Todd Bowles moments ago said they're looking
16:26
Speaker 1: into it, but either way you can see the clock. Mark. Yeah,
16:30
Speaker 1: just inexcusable for Tom Brady. You know, it's not a
16:33
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, second year guy. You just don't expect that.
16:36
Speaker 1: And you saw so many times with Tom Brady coming back,
16:39
Speaker 1: you just expected him to go tie that game up there.
16:42
Speaker 1: But it shouldn't have come down to that. And what
16:45
Speaker 1: you really saw yesterday was that green Bay was not
16:48
Speaker 1: afraid of that Tampa Bay offense and they really smothered him.
16:51
Speaker 1: Really a defensive side, both sides. Tampa Bay's defense played
16:54
Speaker 1: out of their minds as well. But the encouraging thing
16:57
Speaker 1: for Tampa is that they know that Julio Jones is
17:01
Speaker 1: coming back. They know that Mike Evans is coming back,
17:04
Speaker 1: they know that Chris god When is coming back at
17:06
Speaker 1: some point, and most importantly that Donovan Smith is coming back.
17:10
Speaker 1: Because that young man yesterday left tackle. I mean he
17:12
Speaker 1: struggled even on that two point conversion, Blush Brady out
17:16
Speaker 1: of there, which got him off his spot. Devandre Campbell
17:19
Speaker 1: made a great play, but there was two other defenders
17:21
Speaker 1: there as well. That ball wouldn't have gotten in there.
17:24
Speaker 1: So that is the encouraging side. On the flip side,
17:26
Speaker 1: Green Bay's offense that got smothered by Tampa. This is
17:30
Speaker 1: the crew they have to roll with the rest of
17:32
Speaker 1: the year. Romeo Dobbs, the rookie, had an outstanding game.
17:35
Speaker 1: But is that going to be enough for Green Bay?
17:38
Speaker 1: Will those young guys get better? Christian Watson we didn't
17:42
Speaker 1: see at all. Randall Coled made a big play. So
17:45
Speaker 1: when I'm comparing both teams. Green Bay kind of this
17:48
Speaker 1: is the team they have to work with, whereas Tampa
17:50
Speaker 1: the encouraging sign is we got all these Pro Bowl
17:53
Speaker 1: guys coming back in receiver and more importantly the offensive line.
17:57
Speaker 1: But what a battle. We'll see how it plays out.
18:00
Speaker 1: I expect to see both of these teams at the end,
18:02
Speaker 1: Steve and Mark. This is why I hope they meet again.
18:04
Speaker 1: What you just said about the receiving corp because both
18:06
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks came into this game with one hand
18:09
Speaker 1: tied behind their back, so to speak. Because you had
18:11
Speaker 1: the young world wide receivers in developing wide receivers for
18:14
Speaker 1: Green Bay, the injuries and suspension for Tampa Bay. So
18:17
Speaker 1: both teams knew this was going to be a ground
18:19
Speaker 1: center game. And that's why these very good defense has
18:22
Speaker 1: played so stout and there was not much offense to
18:25
Speaker 1: be found in this game. So hopefully by the end
18:27
Speaker 1: of the season. You talk about the Buccaneers receivers getting
18:30
Speaker 1: healthy and getting Mike Evans back from the suspension, and
18:33
Speaker 1: you would think that the Green Bay receivers will evolve.
18:35
Speaker 1: I mean, they tend to do that historically, So if
18:37
Speaker 1: they meet in the playoffs, we can see these two
18:40
Speaker 1: gold quarterbacks played the game we had hoped to see,
18:42
Speaker 1: but the game we should have expected to see out
18:45
Speaker 1: of them yesterday, because again they were so limited offensively,
18:48
Speaker 1: and he was piecing it together with Jalen Darden. Brady
18:51
Speaker 1: was with Scottie Miller and with Russell Gage, who obviously
18:55
Speaker 1: signed a big free agent contract in the off season.
18:57
Speaker 1: They expect him to be a contributor. But Cole Beasley
18:59
Speaker 1: signed on Wednesday. He was out there taking meaningful snaps
19:03
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But there is a reason with all those
19:05
Speaker 1: injuries that the Bucketeers are tied for the most false
19:08
Speaker 1: starts in the NFL, with Tom Brady a quarterback with
19:11
Speaker 1: seven offensive line issues as well, they have to delayed
19:14
Speaker 1: games as well, that the second most in the NFL.
19:17
Speaker 1: They are trying to cobble it together and sometimes it
19:20
Speaker 1: works and sometimes it doesn't. Tom Brady can't magically make
19:24
Speaker 1: everything work. He can't throw the ball and catch the
19:27
Speaker 1: ball at the same time. As somebody once said, thank
19:28
Speaker 1: you Mark Ross, thank you Steve White. As we continue
19:32
Speaker 1: the edition of NFL now, I thought the Chiefs, you know,
19:38
Speaker 1: I thought the Chiefs are got to go to three
19:39
Speaker 1: and oh, Patrick mahomeskin throat and catch it at the
19:41
Speaker 1: same time. Either what happened there? James Palmer was there,
19:46
Speaker 1: He'll tell you coming up next man, Matt Ryan of
19:54
Speaker 1: the Colts needed this one. You didn't think they were
19:56
Speaker 1: going to beat the Chiefs, did you. They're down four
19:59
Speaker 1: with twenty five seconds to go. When geel Lottie Woods
20:03
Speaker 1: scores his second touched out of the game, the second
20:06
Speaker 1: up his career. Everyone is happy in the Colts up
20:08
Speaker 1: twenty a seventeen, but Patrick's Mahomes still has a shot
20:11
Speaker 1: even of the backup kicker, until he doesn't. It gets
20:15
Speaker 1: picked off by Rodney McCloud. Nice place to find, Gilmore. Yeah,
20:20
Speaker 1: every buddy. Chiefs get their first loss, Colts get their
20:23
Speaker 1: first win. We just didn't play good enough, especially on
20:27
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. Uh, starting with me
20:30
Speaker 1: Um Obviously we we we missed some kicks and stuff
20:34
Speaker 1: like that. But at the end of the day, we
20:36
Speaker 1: we had multiple opportunities to score. So, I mean, we
20:39
Speaker 1: got to find ways to get the ball in the
20:40
Speaker 1: end zone, and that starts with me. Can't just get yards.
20:43
Speaker 1: We gotta be able to get in the end zone
20:44
Speaker 1: when we're down there. We had a really good mindset
20:46
Speaker 1: all week. We still have a lot of things to
20:48
Speaker 1: clean up, in a lot of room for improvement, but
20:51
Speaker 1: we're excited to come out and get the job done.
20:55
Speaker 1: Mahomes said, Hither James Palmer, you were there, now you're
20:57
Speaker 1: back at home. Thanks for hustling and being here. He said.
20:59
Speaker 1: He missed some kicks. They missed an extra point, Matt
21:01
Speaker 1: Amendola did. They also had a fake field goal. They
21:04
Speaker 1: all had an argument between the enemy and Mahomes at
21:07
Speaker 1: the end of the second quarter. There's a lot going
21:09
Speaker 1: on there. But give the Colts defense some credit. After
21:14
Speaker 1: Andrew and and you know what, the Colts were very
21:16
Speaker 1: happy with their game plan. But when I went into
21:18
Speaker 1: the Chiefs locker room and talk to some guys in
21:20
Speaker 1: that offensive side of the ball, they admitted that Gus Bradley,
21:23
Speaker 1: the Colts defensive coordinator, had a very good game plan.
21:25
Speaker 1: When I talked to Colts star quarterbacks to find Gilmore,
21:28
Speaker 1: he told me, really, it was all about having really
21:30
Speaker 1: tight coverage and allowing our pass rush to get home
21:33
Speaker 1: and disguising a lot of things up front, and that's
21:35
Speaker 1: what they were able to do. I talked to Unique
21:37
Speaker 1: and got way He said, really, what we were able
21:39
Speaker 1: to do is confuse that offensive line. And then when
21:41
Speaker 1: I talked to Andrew Wiley, a part of that offensive line,
21:44
Speaker 1: he said, they really waited until they started playing games
21:47
Speaker 1: up front to confuse us. It was something we really
21:49
Speaker 1: didn't expect. We prepared for everything, but they kind of
21:51
Speaker 1: caught us off guard, and they were able to be
21:53
Speaker 1: on top of Patrick Mahomes when he was trying to
21:55
Speaker 1: make a lot of these throws, make him hold onto
21:57
Speaker 1: the football and try to extend and make plays. And
21:59
Speaker 1: that's what's interesting about this Chief's offense through these first
22:03
Speaker 1: three games right now. If you look at the stats
22:05
Speaker 1: Andrew compared to the rest of his career, Patrick Mahomes
22:09
Speaker 1: is throwing it quicker, he's throwing it shorter, he's throwing
22:12
Speaker 1: it into tighter windows at a higher percentage, and his
22:14
Speaker 1: receivers are creating a smaller amount of separation than any
22:18
Speaker 1: other time before. Andy Reid said that the issue is hits,
22:22
Speaker 1: that he's not getting them into a rhythm offensively. Mahomes
22:25
Speaker 1: also admitted he doesn't want to say there's growing pains,
22:27
Speaker 1: but there are just a little bit off in some
22:29
Speaker 1: of these throws. But the glaring thing after this game,
22:33
Speaker 1: Andrew was kind of for the first time with Andy
22:35
Speaker 1: Reid and Patrick Mahomes, you see maybe a lack of
22:39
Speaker 1: aggressiveness offensively. And here's some of the misfuse that they had.
22:42
Speaker 1: A lot of them were on special teams, and a
22:44
Speaker 1: lack of maybe trust in that offense. When they go
22:48
Speaker 1: for a field goal and settle for a field goal
22:50
Speaker 1: from the two yard line, they run a fake field
22:52
Speaker 1: goal instead of having Mahomes on the field, and then
22:54
Speaker 1: the argument between or they won't want to say it
22:56
Speaker 1: was an argument between Eric the enemy and Patrick Mahomes,
22:59
Speaker 1: was because Mahomes wanted to be aggressive at the end
23:01
Speaker 1: of the half and the coaching staff did not want
23:04
Speaker 1: to be aggressive at the end of the half. These
23:05
Speaker 1: are just things we haven't seen within this Chief's offense
23:09
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes running it so well
23:12
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. You can call it
23:15
Speaker 1: an argument, you can call it an animated conversation. Whatever
23:18
Speaker 1: it was, everybody saw it after the Chiefs of the
23:22
Speaker 1: Chiefs off installed at the end of the second quarter
23:24
Speaker 1: didn't really push it down field. They had words. Andy
23:28
Speaker 1: Reid stepped in between his quarterback and his o C
23:31
Speaker 1: and then everyone went to the locker room. They still
23:33
Speaker 1: had an entire second half though, and obviously they didn't
23:36
Speaker 1: make enough plays and they lose to Indianapolis. Colts get
23:39
Speaker 1: a much needed win. Thank you, James Palmer. There live
23:43
Speaker 1: after Indie saves its season at least for a week.
23:46
Speaker 1: Carson went for the very first time facing Fletcher Cox
23:50
Speaker 1: and his old Philadelphia teammates, and wow was this ugly?
23:55
Speaker 1: What if I told you like four sacks in the
23:57
Speaker 1: first quarter, six before the half, nine sacks overall of
24:03
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts turned another masterful performance. Here's
24:08
Speaker 1: a touchdown to a j bright I. Jalen Hurts his
24:11
Speaker 1: numbers just from the first half of the first three weeks,
24:14
Speaker 1: he'd be a pro bowler and about Vante spent. Look
24:16
Speaker 1: at this catch after an afterrobatic catch to get him
24:19
Speaker 1: down A couple of players earlier inside the five yard line.
24:23
Speaker 1: You can flex because they're flexing. Twenty four to eight,
24:26
Speaker 1: the Eagles are three, and oh, Jalen Hurts his batman
24:30
Speaker 1: and he also talked to Olmar Louise. Jalen Hurt, you
24:34
Speaker 1: did nothing today to slow down any of that m
24:36
Speaker 1: v P type of talk. How are you guys so
24:39
Speaker 1: clicking today with that offense? Yeah, man, we just wanted
24:41
Speaker 1: to come out. We really started fast, um, really started fast,
24:44
Speaker 1: execute it well in the first half. I'm very disappointed
24:47
Speaker 1: about how we play in the second half. But our
24:49
Speaker 1: defense played the asshole. You know I when they played
24:52
Speaker 1: the assho um, it took command of the game. You
24:55
Speaker 1: mentioned the defense nine sacks today, they're all over Carson.
24:59
Speaker 1: What more can you say about their effort tonight? Knowing
25:02
Speaker 1: how how much they were looking forward to going against
25:04
Speaker 1: Carson for the time and I'll tell them and I
25:08
Speaker 1: for the second half in the way that they played
25:09
Speaker 1: the second have and on the office. Execute um. But
25:12
Speaker 1: a great team win able to get up Earlyie and
25:15
Speaker 1: the defense play the ass off and are ready to
25:17
Speaker 1: maintain it. You gotta clean up some stuff so we
25:18
Speaker 1: could finish the long or not the team we want
25:20
Speaker 1: to be right now, but we're working towards the team
25:22
Speaker 1: you want to be sure. So the Eagles are three
25:25
Speaker 1: and oh a top the NFC East. Can the New
25:28
Speaker 1: York Giants, kicking at Old School wearing all white with
25:32
Speaker 1: the throwback helmets, matched the Eagles at three and Oh,
25:36
Speaker 1: tonight they get the Dallas Cowboys to wrap up Week
25:40
Speaker 1: number three. Jane Slater live with us now at matt
25:44
Speaker 1: Life with a preview high there Jane, and some roster
25:47
Speaker 1: shuffling here for the Cowboys. What do we know too
25:50
Speaker 1: big returns expected tonight, Andrew. I'm talking about edge rushers
25:54
Speaker 1: as these Ogilar and of course Cavon Thibodeaux. They're a
25:57
Speaker 1: rookie first round pick, both injured in the preseason. And
26:00
Speaker 1: what's exciting about this, we're at least the players on
26:03
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Talking to stay at
26:05
Speaker 1: Davier McKinney this week, he said he loves getting the
26:08
Speaker 1: playbook in the game plan. We Martin del has really
26:10
Speaker 1: been mixing it up, and I think that's what's been
26:12
Speaker 1: such a challenge for these teams that have faced him.
26:15
Speaker 1: In the first two games this season. Wink has showed
26:17
Speaker 1: you a six dB front, He's showed you safeties in
26:20
Speaker 1: the box, and now you're adding these two pass rushers.
26:23
Speaker 1: It's gonna make it really challenging for the Cowboys because,
26:26
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, they're not gonna have some of
26:29
Speaker 1: those offensive threats that they thought they were gonna have. Today,
26:32
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup is not expected to play at this game
26:34
Speaker 1: after he was trending in that direction, and Tighten Dalton
26:37
Speaker 1: Schultz is looking like a game time decision. So they'll
26:40
Speaker 1: literally have to rely heavily on their run game if
26:42
Speaker 1: they want to get something done. Made a little bit
26:44
Speaker 1: tougher tonight with the addition of those two edge rushers. Yeah,
26:47
Speaker 1: how important is the run game for both Jane Really,
26:50
Speaker 1: of these teams, sa Kwon Barkley has been great, especially
26:54
Speaker 1: in the second half. He has been looking really, really
26:57
Speaker 1: good this season, and yeah, that's gonna be a challenge
27:00
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. And interestingly enough, Xavier McKinney played at
27:04
Speaker 1: Alabama long with Trayvon Diggs and I said, are you
27:07
Speaker 1: coaching up this team at all when you talk about
27:10
Speaker 1: how you come back? And he said yes, And of
27:12
Speaker 1: course he wasn't going to give me what some of
27:13
Speaker 1: those tendencies and answers were, but they at least have
27:16
Speaker 1: an idea of what to look for. As for the Cowboys,
27:19
Speaker 1: they really tried to commit to the run last week,
27:21
Speaker 1: and at least they were able to do that, scoring
27:23
Speaker 1: on their first two drives. Because of that commitment to
27:26
Speaker 1: the run, they had twelve plays in that opening drive.
27:28
Speaker 1: Six of those were runs. Expect them to do more
27:30
Speaker 1: of that tonight, particularly when you consider teams now have
27:33
Speaker 1: a little bit more on more tape on Noah Brown,
27:35
Speaker 1: who showed us a pretty solid game last week for
27:37
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Another start for Cooper Rush. Cowboys have one
27:41
Speaker 1: nine out of ten the last five years over the Giants,
27:44
Speaker 1: including two they swept him last year. Jane Slater Live,
27:49

28:21
Speaker 1: Austin Cybered out for the fifty four yard google he
28:24
Speaker 1: had missed from earlier fifty four He's also got a miss. Afterwards,
28:29
Speaker 1: Campbell said he regretted that decision. It gave Kirk Cousins
28:33
Speaker 1: a shot and he took it. He took it at
28:37
Speaker 1: KGI Osborne for a game winning touchdown and the Vikings
28:40
Speaker 1: win there two in one four and now they're going

Speaker 1: to improve, We're here to get better. We watched the film.
29:21
Speaker 1: We had a great team meeting. Um, nobody's having thin skin,
29:24
Speaker 1: everyone's taking accountability. Um, it's a big team. It's a
29:27
Speaker 1: little me. It's about the team. And I think we're
29:31
Speaker 1: have the right mindset, the right guys on the team,
29:33
Speaker 1: both character guys, both on the field and off the field. That, Um,
29:39
Speaker 1: we can get this thing pulled together and going on
29:40
Speaker 1: the right way. So being out here in London together, um,
29:43
Speaker 1: while we have is each other, you know what I mean.
29:45
Speaker 1: So we'll enjoy each other, we'll grow close to each other. Um,
29:48
Speaker 1: we'll love on each other, encourage each other, and we'll
29:51
Speaker 1: get this thing going in the right way. I love
29:52
Speaker 1: that big team, little me. What does specifically this football
29:56
Speaker 1: team need Because you've been on so many good ones, Mark,
29:59
Speaker 1: and there's so much talent on this roster. We just
30:02
Speaker 1: got to execute. I mean, we have so much talent,
30:04
Speaker 1: We have so many guys that have played and done
30:06
Speaker 1: this at the highest level. UM, and we we we
30:10
Speaker 1: have confidence in each other. We just gotta go out
30:12
Speaker 1: there and execute that. That's what it's coming down to. UM.
30:15
Speaker 1: You gotta learn what get you beat before you can
30:17
Speaker 1: learn to win. You gotta stop doing those things that
30:19
Speaker 1: can get you beat. And UM, you know, turn the
30:21
Speaker 1: ball over, penalties, UM, allowing big plays, not generated big plays. UM.
30:27
Speaker 1: You know, offense, defense, special teams, all those things are
30:29
Speaker 1: so crucial, so critical. UM. Every play holds his own,
30:33
Speaker 1: you know, way in significance. But you never know what
30:36
Speaker 1: play is going to change the game, what play is
30:38
Speaker 1: gonna determine the outcome of a game. So you have
30:40
Speaker 1: to approach every single, every single play like it's the
30:43
Speaker 1: most important play because it is. And I know your
30:45
Speaker 1: quarterback Jamis does that. Where is his mind as you
30:49
Speaker 1: guys enter into week four and start of keeping it
30:52
Speaker 1: in house. What's the belief in your quarterback? Man? We
30:55
Speaker 1: love Jamis Man. He's our guy. Um. He has all
30:58
Speaker 1: the tools needed to be able to, you know, lead
31:01
Speaker 1: a team to a championship, lead the team to wins,
31:04
Speaker 1: lead a team to y threes. And we have the
31:06
Speaker 1: most confidence in him man. The way he prepares, um,
31:09
Speaker 1: the way he leaves the team. We all have his
31:11
Speaker 1: back and we all want to play well. Protect him
31:14
Speaker 1: so he's not getting his so he can deliver the
31:16
Speaker 1: ball and so we so he can manage the game
31:18
Speaker 1: the way. You know, we know that he knows how
31:20
Speaker 1: to do. So we gotta protect him, We gotta protect
31:23
Speaker 1: each other. And we just all got to continue to
31:24
Speaker 1: prove and get better and execute our job to the foolish.
31:26
Speaker 1: And I just kind of know you love London, right,
31:28
Speaker 1: I mean what would a dub in London mean for
31:31
Speaker 1: you and this team? Hey, we want to know in
31:32
Speaker 1: London already since you know we came here in seventeen
31:35
Speaker 1: got the dub. So um, you know, London, give us
31:39
Speaker 1: that good love, give us that good mojo so we
31:41
