00:00right now we're joined on the rude guest hotline by brian baldinger baldy analyst for nfl network
00:06you can follow his breakdowns online at baldy nfl this nfl insider call is presented by nationwide
00:13for your insurance and financial needs nationwide on your side what's up baldy good morning
00:20hey good morning to you guys um yes sir what is that i mean i'm just uh you know it's
00:26just we
00:27live in seven day life cycles i'm turning uh turn the page here to week five and getting ready for
00:33this weekend i think right now what game are you covering i'm going to be right there in washington
00:38the commanders yeah we're supposed to do uh we're supposed to do uh the chargers and the broncos but
00:45the chargers are oh and four didn't think that was a very good game maybe the giants in washington be
00:50a little bit better i saw your breakdown that that is up at baldy nfl on twitter you thought
00:57that the commanders players a lot of them stepped up to help out cali commandus i thought so i mean
01:03they were you know with six nothing when a thing came in the game i i think marcus played like
01:0810
01:09or 11 plays uh it's unfortunate what happened there you know they kicked two field goals and you know
01:14the kids came in there and i i knew a thing a little bit i he was in the hula
01:18bowl this year and i
01:19announced that game down in daytona florida i think gruden one of the grudens was his coach he's john or
01:25jay i forget like i talked to him and met him and nice kid rutgers and all this stuff and
01:30you know
01:31so when he went in there the other day i kind of knew a little bit about him i thought
01:34he played
01:34good in the bowl game and you know he made a couple big throws in that game but you know
01:39it's just uh
01:39he got he got the snot kicked out of him in that game too did um you know and so
01:45i think that i could
01:46have shown some of those just how tough he was just getting up for some of those hits that
01:49the forest buckner and some of those guys uh a lot too lot too put on him like some of
01:54those guys
01:55like really decked him a few times yeah all right so as you know the weather's not going to be
01:59good
02:00that storm's coming up it's going to affect a lot of the east coast games jayden is coming back
02:05um what's your biggest question mark slash concern about jayden with this brace we just haven't seen
02:11him play with a brace like this yet and uh well it so my concern is i was actually talking
02:16to
02:17about this considering the weather too baldy considering the weather well yeah no i mean i
02:21i'm i'm familiar with what's going on and what's hitting there um but just like it's not like you
02:29don't use your left arm i mean you got a handoff you know are you going to hand off with
02:34that and
02:35like that can be a it can affect handoffs he already has some has had issues if you go back
02:40to
02:40the bears game last year which is ball security in general so i would say just overall with the rain
02:46the weather and just ball security i mean you got to hand off and play action fake with your left
02:52hand and some of the other things you do is you throw with your right hand so i would just
02:56say i
02:57mean the my big general concern would just be ball security because you're naturally going to try to
03:02keep protecting that elbow while it's in a brace and that will hopefully stop it from hyper extending
03:08which was the idea behind it still it's uncomfortable and it's not like you're not going to think about
03:15that elbow after you know what happened against the cowboys in that game and now digs apparently has
03:22a little hamstring injury so uh probably won't see mclaurin might not see digs um you know it's not
03:30good for i don't know how much they're going to be able to throw but that's certainly not good for
03:33for jayden to come back and not have his top two weapons and uh and chig didn't do anything
03:38the conco he didn't do anything last week so it's not like you've got a legitimate threat at tight end
03:42maybe eckler plays a little bit more i don't know what what are your thoughts on the passing game
03:47if digs doesn't go well the two big plays you know in that game were to trail on burks you
03:53know
03:53he stepped up he caught the touchdown right uh diami brown he had a big catch i mean you're going
03:59to go
04:00to your your depth you know the rookie uh has had some moments in here so uh i mean i
04:06nobody feels
04:07sorry for for the commanders i mean you know the giants without their two best players in their
04:12quarterback and and brian burns so other guys stepped up for them i was doing a charger seattle
04:17game last weekend in the fourth quarter of the charges game they were playing four rookies on
04:22the offensive line so i mean it's just the state of the nfl i mean these injuries are just everywhere
04:28and everybody's dealing with them and and if you just read the injury report with some of these teams
04:32like washington like you're doing you're like well they have no chance well all right i mean the giants
04:37are going to they're going to be missing a lot of people too and some of the best players and
04:41and so you know the the next guys get a chance i mean athin threw two big passes in that
04:45game
04:45one for a touchdown and had him knock on the door for another one um you know it's it's just
04:52uh that's
04:52just the mentality you got you got to coach all 53 guys practice squad guys and when they get the
04:57chance to play you just hope that they you know they step up what has been the giants formula for
05:03success
05:04they're three and one when you kind of look at their statistics nothing really jumps out at you
05:07how are they winning games they're they're uh they've been taking the ball away uh you know they
05:15they won the tennessee game tennessee was knocked on the door and javon holland had an interception of
05:20cam ward the end zone to win the game um similar similar things happened last week last week the
05:26arizona cardinals were on the four yard line with a chance to win the game they had four shots
05:30in the end zone they defended all four they their pass defense was outrageous last sunday they had
05:3514 passes defense um they had a couple interceptions um the rookie arvel reese got his first interception
05:42he was the best player on the field um he was the fifth player taken in the draft he might
05:48be the
05:48best player i know sonny styles who's his teammate and sonny's having you know a really good season so
05:54far i mean those two guys are gonna be on the field together they're both wear number 52 um but
05:59arvel reese has been uh as good as any linebacker in the league right now he's made a big difference
06:05they they have shortcomings but uh they've been taking the ball away you know they have six
06:10interceptions in the four games and they've they've knocked a couple fumbles loose and so that's that's
06:15a big reason they finished games out at the end when the other team had a chance tennessee and arizona
06:21like i mentioned had a chance to win the game joined by brian baldinger analyst for nfl network
06:27nationwide is so much more than a great insurance company they're one of america's largest financial
06:31services companies too nationwide is on your side so baldy i hope you're ready for a quick
06:37pop quiz okay can you tell me how long the jets possess the ball against the chicago bears
06:46this past weekend in the fourth quarter in the fourth quarter how long they possess it yeah in
06:54the fourth quarter they only had 32 plays yeah really so i know chicago i think had it for the
06:59last
07:00nine minutes of the game yeah so um i want to say they had three three minutes the jets possess
07:08the
07:09ball in the fourth quarter for 45 seconds three three play i was a number of plays in that game
07:15talk about the bears rushing attack i mean they're averaging 196 rushing yards per game that two-headed
07:21monster of swift and bonangai is doing work out there in chicago for ben johnson yeah well they're the
07:28leading rushing team i i said that you know on a jets uh broadcaster uh radio station last week
07:36they had 290 rushing yards week one against the carolina panthers they had 200 last week they had
07:42170 against the eagles um so i think darnell right the right tackle is maybe the best tackle in football
07:51right now the best run blocking tackle for sure um their their use ben johnson's use of tight ends
07:58and how cole commit and um all their tight ends how they fit in the run game is better it
08:06is it's
08:07really artistic how they do it with motions and shifts and how they um they tandem block with each
08:14other they're just really really talented um at how they run the football and ben johnson is you know
08:23nobody's a genius but he's really bright about what they do and you could tell that they
08:28work on it incessantly because they just don't make mistakes and there's always a hole and the
08:35jets found that out jets were pretty good against the run going into that game and they couldn't stop
08:39it i think i think chicago had 87 plays um over 50 runs and the jets had 32 that's insane
08:4750 more
08:48plays 50 more plays than the jets in that game and and if the browns i know the weather might
08:54be an
08:54issue up there too with new york but the if the browns win that game it's that's shocking to me
08:59if they win they're four and one baldy yep that's shocking to me yeah i know but honestly they're
09:05really well coached yeah and it's it's all rookies like you know you you look at deshaun watson now i
09:12mean it's played increasingly better each game but if you look at the rookies casey conception denzel boston
09:21they uh you know they start five rookies two rookies on the offense line specimen for no
09:26austin barber they start four rookies on offense and you can't tell they're the best players they're
09:32the two best offense linemen they have they're the two best receivers they have the running back is
09:37in his second year um you know they they've got a rookie safety that you know is was lights out
09:43good
09:44um last week against the pittsburgh steelers and that was uh i think that was the way that they took
09:51the steelers apart and the way that they moved the ball against them is probably what was most
09:57impressive because they get they've gotten a little bit better each week and they're a better team than
10:02the jets the jets can win the game but they're better they have 10 days to get ready for this
10:06game
10:06because they played on a thursday night last week so i mean hats off to todd munton and the job
10:13that
10:14he's doing coaching him right now yeah agreed all right so the early game sunday is over in london
10:19with philly and jacksonville jacksonville is currently a seven point favorite the total
10:23is 41 and a half it's uh you know it's obviously low because the eagles offense is just in disarray
10:30eagles are down to their third string running back uh they just traded one of their offensive
10:35linemen to baltimore lane johnson announced retirement i'm not sure if davante smith's
10:39gonna go uh hurts hasn't been doing anything i mean what's your take on philly what are they
10:45saying up there about philadelphia and obviously syria i asked you about this last week but what are
10:50they saying uh this week about um you know and they're playing jackson who's the best defensive
10:55football right um you know since they went to cincinnati last week joe burrow could
11:00i think he put up six 16 or 17 points i mean they took them apart but uh i think
11:07in philly it looks like it i mean it's just it is it's more than just disarray um you know
11:14this
11:14is a whole new coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball and that has not hasn't worked
11:19when they were healthy and last week they couldn't convert one third down they were over 12 on third
11:26down and they were completely broken um they traded the left guard uh to the baltimore ravens
11:33ravens need a center so they traded him to baltimore they didn't want um vega yawani to to play center
11:40although he was really good at it last week um he want they want him to play guard so they
11:45lost
11:45their first two centers so he's so there's a need but philadelphia traded cam jurgens is a two-time
11:50pro bowler because i don't he's not a guard and he's forced to play guard because of injuries
11:57and um they wanted this through kendall to keep playing center because he's i think he's a good
12:03young center his dad was the center of the league for a long time so i feel like they thought
12:07he's
12:07expendable they think their starting left guard is going to come back here maybe as soon as next week
12:11landed dickerson so uh and they got a second round pick and a bunch of others from the ravens forum
12:16so
12:16they thought so in philadelphia they're saying oh it's a fire sale the season's over they're selling
12:21their you know one's retiring one's being you know traded um you know and all these injuries they've
12:27had but that's that's not what they're thinking i mean howie roseman is going to try and do whatever
12:31he can to get them back on track they're only two and two they haven't played well in the last
12:36two
12:36games but defensively they could still be a pretty good football team uh they get everybody back this
12:42week they're all healthy on that side of the ball they didn't play well the last two games but
12:46it's not that they they're not capable of playing well they're very capable of being a top five
12:51defense baldy have a safe trip this weekend and we'll talk to you again next thursday my friend
12:56let's do it all right thank you buddy uh there's a lot of good news in washington to talk about
13:01that'd be great we hope that's the case as brian baldinger analyst for nfl network follow his work
