  Speaker 1: Very excited to talk to this man today.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It is Adam Schefter, who joined us on the Ramos
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Law hot line Car Accident. You need Ramos Law Medical
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: doctor and attorney ramas Law dot com.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Adam, how are you doing this.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Morning, gentlemen? What's going on?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we got a.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Lot of football to talk about, and one of them is, yes,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the Broncos now have a match up.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: With the Buffalo Bills or repeat from last year.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: But I am curious with a couple of things that
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: happened over the weekend, starting with the Green Bay Packers.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: They blow this sort of lead twenty one to three
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: at halftime to the Bears. And then there's some questions
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: surrounding the contract of Matt Lafleur. He's got one year
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: left on his deal. Do they still give him an
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: extension after last night?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Well that I've been told they're trying to give him
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: an extension. Now what does that mean? What is trying
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: to extend.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: The met.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a few ways to look at that, right, Like,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: it means to me that that they're open to keeping him,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: that they that they would keep me at the right price.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: But it also means that they're sending a message to
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: the teams potentially that hey, we'd like to keep them,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: but if you want to make it offer, we don't
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: have two first round picks the next two years thanks
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: to the mic at Barson's trade. We might be willing
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to listen to that too, but we're prepared to keep them.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I just said this, I don't know where it's gonna
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: wind up in the end. I don't know where it's
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: gonna wind up. We're gonna see how that is. So well,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: we'll see how that works out.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Are you surprised at all that the NFC has become
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: the NFC West Invitational essentially with these it's gonna be
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: one of those.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Three teams, right, say that one of the three, one of.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: Those NFC West teams is going to emerge. Obviously.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: I think the biggest uh Cinderella in this whole thing
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: on the Chicago Bears, even the way they're playing, I
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: don't think they can emerge over those three teams.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, they played home this weekend. If they win
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: this week at home, then they're in the NCENT Championship game.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Why to me, like it's wide open. It's wide open.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Anybody could win. Look, the forty nine ers I got.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: They surprised me yesterday. I thought, as shorthanded as they were,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: that it'll be really hard to go into Philadelphia with
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: all the players they're missing. I feel like it'll be
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: hard for them with all the players they're missing to
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: go into Seattle. But they continue to defy the odds
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and show show that they're that are tougher and strongly
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: that people realize. So I don't put anything past them.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: But to me, like, I don't know, I'm not saying
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: the Bears are not capable of going They absolutely are.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Hey, And what is the source of the Ben Johnson
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Matt Lafleur hatred, because it's clear they don't like each other.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Where did that start? Well? I think what that's about
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: was when Ben Johnson was with the Lions as the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. I think that those two kind of, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: there was some messaging across the field from one another,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: shall we say, you know? And and and I think
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: more initiated by Ben the way I understand it. And
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: then they hire Ben and Ben comes out blazing in
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: that press conference like, yeah, I always enjoyed being Matt
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: lafore like whoa you know? And and and Matt said,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: you know, he had never met him like he you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: he never met him to know what he was really
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: talking about. And then they met twice as here you
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: saw the frosty, icy handshakes the two men exchanged. So
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I really think it's nothing more than that right there. Now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the interesting part to me is, you know Ben, you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Ben is being Ben. And also the fans in Chicago
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: love it because the two franchises hated each other, so
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: it endears him. It endears him to the fans, and
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: they see him blaw if not. Yeah, yeah, they love that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And now, for the second straight week, we get a
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Ben Jonson Lafleur matchup, only this time it's not Matt Leaflor.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: It's Mike Lafloor, the Rams offensive coordinator. And I can
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: tell you that the people in the Rams organization noticed
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: the way that Ben treated Matt last week and they
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: didn't particularly care for it. So it's gonna be interesting
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: to see how it all unfolds this weekend.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: I don't mind that bad blood whatsoever in the postseason.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: In fact, I like it. Adam, Let's get to the
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the Broncos matchup now, because your boy Vick here came
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: in about seven oh one, all emotional, you know, Matt
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: and down the hatchet, we got this and all this
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: kind of thing. There's a reason, yeah you did. There's
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: a reason that that the Buffalo Bills are a point
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: and a half favorites even with the injuries. Talk us
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: through a little bit and what you see out of
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: this particular matchup, because to me, it's hey, they got
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen. That makes a big, big difference.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Well, Josh Allen's gonna play
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: like I mean, he was in the medical ten a
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: couple of times yesterday and that was something that he
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: played with and threw whatever like foot, ankle, me, concussion,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: like the guys. He is Superman. And I've already noticed
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: that Las Vegas has established the Bills as favorites this weekend.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: They are favored in Denver to beat the Broncos by
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: a point a half. And as I said, I'm good
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: up this morning. I don't think it's the Bills that
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: are favored by a point a half over the Broncos.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I think it's the Josh Allen being favored by a
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: point and a half of the Denver Broncos.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Is there a chance at him that they run ten
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: plays all game and all of them are tush pushes
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: for twelve yards.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Listen, you know he he had that awesome tush push
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: yesterday that helped win the game. I mean that took
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: control of the game at the end, set him up
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: for the game when he touchdown worked out great.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: You know, just in all seriousness, Uh, Sean Payton, I
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: believe is four and oh coming off the buy in
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the postseason when when his team has the one seed.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And I know there's different schools of thought on this,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: like obviously you get the bye week, you go straight
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: through to the divisional round and everybody wants that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Do you think there is any hindrance to taking a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: week off?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I know you get healthy, but maybe you get out
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of rhythm basically a team in rhythm.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Is there anything to that?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I think there's definitely something to that. And
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: it always always I don't make it. I don't want
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: to make any mass generalizations, but often, often I've seen
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: teams on buys come in and it just seems like
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: they start a little slow and sluggish it, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: it just I've seen that more often than I haven't,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And so I think that That's part of the challenge
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: for the Broncos and Sean Payton this weekend is to
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: make sure they're ready, that they don't come out flat,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: that they don't come out sluggish, they come out firing,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and you don't fall behind against Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, of all the possible first round
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: opponents were, it was the Chargers, it was the Bills,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and it was what h.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of those four of those four, what would you
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: guys say you and fans felt like would have been
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the most favorable matchup?
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh, Roit Pittsburgh.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: with that, Okay, and then after that, how would you
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: rank him?
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Then I got tough.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Then I think it's anything goes. See the difference, the
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: difference between me and these guys. I understand that Josh
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Allen is going to be a challenge, but I'm not on,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: you know, like Moser this morning, just on all fours weeping,
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: wondering how I'm gonna be this week, how I'm gonna
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: get through the week. Because Josh Allen.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Is coming to town.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Here's an opportunity to gain some revenge after you got
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: humbled by these guys at their place. The Broncos wanted
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: home field. You're gonna play one of them anyway. What's
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: the big play the damn game?
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, no One, No One just gives you a
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: trip to the super Bowl and a Vince Lombardi for
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: just steamrolling you know the you know the Indianapolis called.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't work like that. You gotta beat you
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: gotta beat really good teams. And Josh Allen is the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: best player left in the postseason tournament. He is the
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: best player, and so that's that's not ideal. Now what
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: is working in Denver's favor. They have a short week,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: they have to travel to Denver. They got some injuries,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: They're missing some guys. Dave Davis got hurt, he's not
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: gonna play. Turell Shavers their wide receiver, he got banged up,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: missing some defensive players, and Oliver's not gonna play like
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: They're missing some key parts here. So look, there are
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: fifty three guys in the team, but this is about
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen. This is about Josh Allen and if they
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: can somehow find a way to contain him, and boy,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: it's gotta be a big thrill for Josh Allen to
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: come to Denver when he grew up loving John Elway
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and watching Lway in the playoffs like kind of cool. Actually, hey.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Regarding the rest of the crew, Vance Joseph interviewed for
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: some spots this week.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Which of those jobs he interviewed for? Do you think
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: Vance has the best shot.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: At You know, I don't. You never know. These coaching
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: searches are going to go, and there's still a lot
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: that's gonna play, Like you know what's gonna happen with
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Matt Lafleur, Where's John Harball going? And one move affects
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the other, so it's very difficult to forecast where he's going.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I could tell you from having spoken to some of
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the teams that he interviewed very well and they were
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: very impressed with him. So we'll see whether that translates
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: into him getting a job or not. But teams were
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: impressed with him.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I would be impressed too.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Brett, Well, I was just gonna ask Adam
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: because we have a couple more things from the games
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: over the weekend that I wanted to get to. Is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the Aj Brown Philadelphia thing sustainable?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Can he stay there? Another year or is this like
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it feels like a door slamming.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Uh, listen, they're gonna be changes there in Philly, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: you know he's gonna be at the forefront of the
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: ideas of those. He's a potential trade candidate. I would
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: say there was discussion about whether he be traded before
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: the deadline. I think that topic will come back up.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: You know, who's going to be the offensive coordinator there?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: What's their vision? Like, there's no way they're running it
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: back with the current crew, So who's not coming back?
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: And he's certainly going to be a guy that I
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: think will be in the discussion.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Last night for me, Adam real quick, last thing for me, h,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan. Does he get Does he get the love
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: he deserves as a head coach in this league? I
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: mean just the amount of of injury that he's had
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: to deal with and brain damage from Ayok and everything else,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: but the fact that he gets these guys ready.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I you know, I was texting with some
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: of the forty nine ers officials last night. Uh yeah,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna text you one from one of their
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: people last night because I take some Kyle. Last night
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: after the game and the owner and the GM and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the vice president and all those people. One of them
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: just takes it back. They're like, I can't believe it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: We have a bunch of you know, injured guys right now,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and now kittles her too. How is Kyle not the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: coach of the year with some F words mixed in there.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure, Adam Scheffer talking to us. All conversations
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: with thatam brought to you by Johnson Autoplasa. You get
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: selection service and incredible savings on Ramjeep, Chevy, Buick and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: GMC all at one location experienced the power of the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Plaza Johnson Autoplaza. You've posted something and it's funny because
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the reaction that you had was different than a lot
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: of different people. We discussed it this morning, but it
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: was this interaction between a reporter and Liam Cohen after
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: How you doing today, Lynn Jones, Jacksonville Free Press News.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: I just want to tell you congratulations on real success,
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: young man. You hold your head up all right. You
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: guys have had a most magnificent in season. He did
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: a great job out there today, So you just hold
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: your head up, okay, And ladies and gentlemen, douvall. You
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: don't want all right, keep it going, we got another season, Okay,
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: take care of much. Continue success to you and the
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: entire team.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: So you said that was a cool interaction that a
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of people are like, that's ridiculous. I mean,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I don't really understand why people are so upset about it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: What's your thoughts?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: My thought is I understand where people were saying press
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: conferences are sacred. I got all that, and that's right,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: and they're right. I've never asked a question or made
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a statement like I never would. That's not what I
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: would do. Here was this woman who sounded like a
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: mother type figure who wandered in. What I found very
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: human about it was that he was hard off guard,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and it was like, here's these coaches are so uptight
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: and and they're so crushed when their season ends, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: that and that it's such an unusual thing. You don't
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: hear that in a press conference. You don't ever hear
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: anything like that. And here was this woman who sounded
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: like a motherly type figure kind of trying to pick
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: up the coach. It was. It was disarming to him.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: It wasn't what he was. It was just a very
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: human moment. To me, that's all. I understand that press
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: conviss are not the setting for those types that I
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: got it. I got it. I understand that. I know.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: But to me, that he was completely disarmed. He was
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: not expected because that never happens. It was a small
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: market kind of thing. He'd be perfectly frank, okay, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: it just was a human moment. That's all.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: I think it was great.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: I think people that are getting all whacked out about
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: that just calm down a little bit.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: It doesn't happen all the time. However, I do want
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: to ask this, I think it was great. If the
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Broncos were to lose.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Saturday and I show up at Champagne's press conference and
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: say the exact same thing as Sean, that's the point.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: That's the point, Sean say, shut the hell okay, like
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Liam Comb like he just finished his first year is
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: a great year. They just got crushed. He like he was.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: He didn't know how to react to it, like he was.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: It was disarming, that's all.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Sean would think you're insulting him.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: Genuinely imagine that.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Could you imagine? I can't even can't even imagine it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Uh So, Adam, I always appreciate the time. We'll talk
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to you next week after the hopefully Broncos win.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Well. I have a great week, guys. It should be
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: a great match up on Saturday.
