There's all the cars in New Orleans, possibly industry to carters roll past me, bumping juvenile and I just saw a band of middle school and high school kids just go in the Chiefs Hotel, which is the Sea of Red. But for the team, they started off this morning Friday morning to practice at Tulane. They practiced for about seventy minutes, just helmets. They haven't done a lot heavy this week, but they are fully healthy, as they've been all week. The only thing to note, sky Moore, who was on injury reserve, is doubtful not expected to play, but that's no big surprise for them on that side of things.

All the family and.

Friends come into town. I saw some players hugging family members this morning as they came into the hotel. I saw some of Patrick Mahomes family walking around in the streets so much is going on here. Jason Kelce walked past us about a couple hours ago and he was not recognized by anyone, which is crazy giving out recognizable he is. He was not wearing green or red neutral colors.

We'll see what he does on Sunday, smart man. Now in the media, though, I got a wild guest who we might be cheering for come Sunday. As for you, Jane, the English has been a little beat up over the past several weeks. Here. How do we look as that final injury report comes out for Philly?

Yeah, Brandon Graham is the one we're really keeping an eye on. The activated him and well they haven't activated him yet. They called him up. We'll see if he is a go on Sunday, but they have until four o'clock on Saturday to.

Now, he has, of course been practicing in a limited capacity. But you know when you talk to the guys, they say that he is talking trash, he's moving around. It was Nick Sirianni this week who told me they just want to see how he's striking. It was an hour long practice today, little bit of lighter work. That's the typical schedule they have if this was a normal game week and they're trying to keep it as normal as possible. They did some team drills. They really wanted to work on some of the situational awareness in the red zone. But yeah, it was a good practice today. They'll have a mock game tomorrow, they'll have the team photo.

The hotel over here is full of family, guest friends, so they're getting a little bit of downtime before all the craziness. And I love that you brought up that Travis Kelsey's just walked around no one notices him. We've seen that with players. I saw Darius Slay out here no one recognized, and we saw Chauncey Gardner Johnson.

I like to thank Joel and Lavaughan my parents. Who should I in my twenty plus years of playing football going down to Pop Warner, I bet you they've missed maybe fifteen games in their entire life.

I know you take a lot of pride in this as well. And last but not least, my fiance Haley, who you've been my rock. You're my best friend. I would not be staying on the stage if it weren't for you. So with that being said, be good, do good, God bless and go bills.

All the NFL's major awards handed out last night at the Sanger Theater. Kevin O'Connell Coach of the Year, Sick One Bark, Patsertan, Jayden Daniels, Jared Verse taking home the hardware, but no award more surprised, at least to the audience both inside that theater as well as across the NFL than Josh Allen as the MVP. And you were there inside the theater, so was Mike, so was I and Judy was hopefully getting a little bit of extra sleep. What stood out to you from last night?

Judy was definitely working by the way I got I got you Judy the MVP winner did stand out to me. That was hard to watch in a good way, like it was a little bit emotional. It was felt like that last night too, And rarely do we get that sort of collective gasp, like there's not that many surprises of these wars.

It was like because Josh Allen beat Lamar after Lamar Jackson was the All Pro quarterback. To me, though this felt right now. This is not an argument about whether or not Lamar Jackson performed better this season, or whether Lamar Jackson's stats are better. If you did that comparison, you would say Lamar jacksonrobably should be winning this award.

This is the most valuable player considering where the Bills were, where the franchise was in transition, getting rid of a lot of high priced guys before the season. Stefan Diggs obviously headed out of town. The absolute and incredible value of Josh Allen is something that stood out to me.

Not have been deep in the playoffs, threw them on his back, and took him deep into the playoffs in an unbelievable season. Josh Allen deserved this award absolutely and I thought it was very cool to see him get it.

I always think the emotional high point of honors is the Hall of Fame class being introduced, and I have to say I was a little disappointed that it didn't take that long to introduce this class because it is a very very small class. This year, the rules were changed about voting and so as a result, we didn't get a coach go in. We didn't get it would have been Mike holmgrun By the way, we didn't get a contributor go in, and we had only three modern era players go in and one senior.

There's a logjam and a lot jam out a number of positions wide receiver, our colleague Steve Smith were waiting to see him get in. We've got Tory Holt and Reggie Wayne ahead of them, so for them to not get in, now you're adding more players to the mix. Larry Fitzgerald's going to join the conversation. That's only going to make things harder. So yes, I agree with you, Judy. There should be a minimum number of players that get in because there are players deserving to get in. For me being in that theater, last night. I thought a lot of the right notes were hit. The Immemoriam segment where Big Sam Williams played the trombone and it was New Orleans style. It was more of an upbeat musical number then you see during that because that's how they rolled down here with their funerals. I thought that that was right on point, and the recent tragedy in New Orleans was addressed as well. So the Sanger Theater was deck out if it always looks like that, with the Marty Grass decorations that were up there as well. I thought it was a great scene. I thought Snoop Dogg did a great job. He's not going to be like Nicki Glazer, who also made an appearance, whom Ian got a picture with. I was unable to because they were yelling at me again his car already, it's a great far came up, not even a fan, and got a picture.

I told her I wasn't a fan too. We got a great picture, and that's so she would appreciate the MVP Ballady. By the way, we talk about that being a surprise sufficially controversial, just from the confusion that the ap made be rare. I believe unprecedented step of releasing not just who the voters are in the vote totals, but who voted for who. It goes to show there were enough people questioning the process of how we got there and how the All Pro quarterback would not end up being the MVP over the guy who was not the first team All Pro quarterback. When I did a survey back in December of NFL executives like I do every year, Josh Allen was the winner in that survey as well, so to Evan's Ian's point, certainly a deserving honor. Sam Donald got a handful of fifth place votes for that award. Since it is now ranked voting for the MVP Award, his future in Minnesota or elsewhere at this point remains up in the air. Now, we saw a couple of different comments from Kevin O'Connell, who deservedly won the Coach of the Year from down the same aisle that I was sitting in last night, about Sam Donald's future. Here's really where we seem to stand, Mike. There are a variety of ways that this could go with Sam Donald. They could get a deal done with him. The tag is an option. Tagging trade is an option. They have a guy in JJ McCarthy, but they also know that Sam Donald was somebody that the team rallied around with the won fourteen games last season. This is not a black and white type of deal. A lot of it's going to come down to the velvety and he didn't.

Take a snap for them. But Daniel Jones is also potentially there for them as an option as well. They do have a little bit of experience working with him toward the end of the season. The question is do you tag him? And if you don't tag him, that allows other teams to now get into the mix. And just down at the Senior Bowl last week, where these things start to materialize and everybody starts to put some feelers out, you know that there's gonna be a lot of quarterbacks that are going to be available. The first name that came up, I'd say ninety five, if not one hundred percent of the time when I talk to teams potentially in needs of the need of quarterbacks and those that might be available, was Sam Donald. So that bodes well for Donald's prospects with regard to having multiple suitors.

It was a great offensive system, a great offensive coach, great offensive coaching staff, and all these weapons that you're seeing right here. But there's other teams that are saying, hey, we can get him into our building. He's shown us his ability. I think he's going to have a great market.

Well, there'll certainly be a very good market for Sam Donald. I thought this was an interesting quote which came from Kevin O'Connell.

I think last night.

I think last night.

I don't know if it happened at the theater or afterwards, but he said he's earned the right to really explore what it means to be a Pro Bowl quarterback, which sure sounds to me like Kevin O'Connell is suggesting that he's earned the right to test free agency and see what free agency looks like for him. That's an interesting comment coming from a head coach about a quarterback. Doesn't necessarily mean that he's gone, just means that maybe they think he should be testing the market and see what the market looks like. Maybe go back to them when they see what the price is. Awfully interesting comments from Kevin.

And Sam Darnald has experienced stage. He's just certainly have a very good idea what that market is going to be prior to the enfranchise tag deadline. There's a lot of again moving parts that goes into it. When in a free agent class that is basically Donald, Russell Wilson, and a bunch of quarterbacks from the twenty twenty one draft class who all got traded and moved on. Donald is clearly the one that people will be focused on. Tyreek Hill, meanwhile, has had an interesting few months from obviously a rough start to the season and running with police prior to Week one, then playing without his quarterback, then deciding he didn't feel like finishing that final game of the season, said after Week eighteen he was done in Miami doors closing it was fun, but I'm moving on now, striking a slightly different tone.

Like we all want to win tour. He's another competitors. He's a hell of a competitor. A lot of people don't know that he's a winner. He's consistent. So I'm looking forward to, you know, just us continuing to build our relationship, man even more.

Tyreek echoes similar thoughts in his tour Round Radio row earlier today. We heard Mike mcdanielly in after the season say, it's been made clear they talk. We have made clear to him that that is not going to be tolerated in the future. At least sounds listening to Tyreek like he is willing and open to continuing to that advice and move forward to Miami.

Yeah, and Tybreek Hill in his various interviews was pretty clear that he wants to come back to Miami and he believes he is coming back to Miami now. In other comments, he stated that he would never leave and we wondered. Reporters wondered ear in the season, could he potentially be sing to be traded. He said you know, tell my agent keep me in Miami. Like, this is clearly a guy whose future is in Miami. So at the end of the season, he was not in a good place. He was asked to stop by reporters to talk to them. He eventually did and said a sort of like hot headed comment right basically said I'm out. I did not think he handled that well. I thought he handled today very well. He was apologetic, he explained himself. He sort of set the records straight and set a better path moving forward, knowing that what he did ascid and come off the field was just not cool.

Version of Tyreek Hill that the Miami Dolphins saw today and to me, barring something insane which sometimes we see in this NFL, in the NFL offseason, it seems like Tyreek Hill is not going anywhere.

We take this back to Miles Garrett, who started the week with a public trade request I remember and said that he took the time after the season to really reflect before he made what he called the toughest decision of his life. This is why, because you're in that moment, you're in the locker room, let's say after a game late in the season. You're disappointed, certainly if you're Tyreek Hill, you're thinking about the possibility of your former team once again going to the Super Bowl, and you had visions of doing that with the Miami Dolphins, and that hasn't really happened. This is why the players take the time a lot of times before they make those decisions. And that's why maybe perhaps Tyreek Hill should have done that, why Miles Garrett should have done that. I'm stalling. I'm waiting for them to fix what's happening in Tom's ear. I'm pretty sure that was happening. That's why I was leaning off camera. I don't know if we've got it. Hello, do you have us?

You're disappointed, certainly if you're Tyreek Hill, you're thinking about the possibility of your former team once again going to the Super Bowl, and you had visions of doing that with the Miami Dolphins, and that hasn't really happened. This is why the players take the time a lot of times before they make those decisions. And that's why maybe perhaps Tyreek Hill should have done that, why Miles Garrett should have done that. I'm stalling. I'm waiting for them to fix what's happening in Tom's ear. I'm pretty sure that was happening. That's why I was leaning off camera. I don't know if we've got it. Hello, do you have us?

Last night? A lot of construction vehicles dying around somebody somebody rader. The technology continue to come through. We got the monitor blanket. I can't hear a thing. You know what we do have though, We got an NFL game in Dublin, Ireland, now official, long rumored and believed it was going to happen, It's gonna be the Steelers serving as the host team of the twenty twenty five NFL Dublin Game, a huge moment, certainly for the Rooney family. Getting to go to Ireland for the Steelers and the NFL tapping into yet another international market. We have a lot more to come here on Insiders. That includes another look at this game on Sunday, Super Bowl fifty nine. It's the Chiefs and the Eagles. What type of difference could the head coaches make Andy Reid versus Nick Sirianni for the second time in three years? Coming up after this, we had Texans wide receiver Nico Collins joining the show. A wild sea in Houston, there were injuries, there was a late season run took the Chiefs to the limit. What is Nico looking at moving forward after the team changed offensive cordators. What are the expectations next season and beyond rap We'll talk about it next on The Insiders presented by DraftKings Sportsbook. I was shocked to find out a couple of minutes ago that this was the first time this guy has made a Pro Bowl Texans wide receiver Nico Collins, but a monster year in twenty twenty three, was an alternate this year. That's a little bit of miss time. Still put up another thousand yards to get it right. He's in the Pro Bowl now, he's with us on The Insiders. Nico Collins long with Ian rapport Tom PILISERA, how you doing.

Hi, Judabatista, you're with me, My Calfolo. Here's where back on the insiders, Cam, Andy Reid been here, done that. What have you gleaned from the Chiefs players this week and the assistant coaches with regard to how he's handled this week and how his coaching style has maybe morphed over the years.

Yeah, Mike, We've got an excellent game with excellent coaching staffs here. But Chiefs players I talked to talked a lot about the Andy Reid factor and they say it starts in training camp for him, the Chiefs regularly have one of the most grueling training camp practices, and when I talked to Patrick Mahomes about it, he said that Reed really wants them to start from the bottom he said, we've won obviously two titles in a row, but Andy Reid make sure we are not complacent, that.

We don't get full of ourselves.

We don't get full of ourselves.

And then as you go through the season, he gives us elements of fun. You know, we've seen some of their trick plays, the Merry go Round plays. He can he's sixty six years old, but he can bring a thirty six year old youthfulness with it. And I thought Travis Kelcey explained it well when he said, early in my career, me and Andy Reed didn't necessarily get along great, you know, but now I love him so much. I owe my career to him. Players have talked about how well he adjusts in game and throughout the season to whatever they need. Throughout this practice week, they went helmets all week, not a lot.

Week and get his fourth Super Bowl title, would tie him second most among head coaches. And I had a Chiefs player ask me why is Andy Reid up more frequently for Coach of the Year, which is a excellent question. He continues to win, He continues to do it his way, and the Chiefs know that if they win on Sunday, it'll be because of their discipline started by Andy Reid, not any other reason.

So he said, if he sat on a bench for one thing, and then somebody notices, hey, we lost that game and you were sitting on that bench, then he moves to the other side of the bench. And so I went out and got a full red outfit to wear on Sunday since I feel like because I'm covering the Eagles.

That's because it's family night.

They had a two hour grueling practice and the heat yesterday. It's really warm down here. It's kind of gotten a little bit better today. Not as human, but they knocked out the tough one yesterday. Today a bit more of just situational stuff in the red zone. They did some team drills. Tomorrow it'll be a mock game, it'll be the team picture. But right now it's just all about finalizing the details, the fundamentals. And on Sunday, I'm going to talk about my conversation with Frank Reich. You know, a lot this week was made from Sirianni about who we learned from, you know, who were his mentors.

Stood out about Nick Sirianni was just his attention to detail those little fundamentals. It's the little things that make him so great. But yeah, the city is buzzing, guys, players at least getting a little bit of a breather. You can tell by yesterday they were sort of tired of talking to us, and quite frankly, what more can you ask them at this point? So I think we're all just waiting for kickoff. And as you guys said, we are in the forty eight hour window.

When we returned, let's bring in Sam schwartzting Prime Video and Thursday Night Football's analytics expert to use next Gen Stats to preview a Super Bowl remance. Sam, both these teams come in with seventeen wins. They got there in different ways. What's similar about the Eagles and Chiefs?

When we returned, let's bring in Sam schwartzting Prime Video and Thursday Night Football's analytics expert to use next Gen Stats to preview a Super Bowl remance. Sam, both these teams come in with seventeen wins. They got there in different ways. What's similar about the Eagles and Chiefs?

Yeah, both offenses are great. They have really stout defenses. But it's their ability to do lights fourth down that's made them special offenses this season, both ranking near the top of the success rate when that's looking at how often are you helping your team's chance to win on converting those scenarios, and both are upwards of seventy percent in conversion. But they're very different. The Chiefs have around like the sixth lowest yards to go on fourth down and the Eagles have the second lowest yards to go on fourth down. Mahomes will utilize his legs to convert, but when you see the Eagles up there, get ready to experience the tush push or the brotherly shove. You know.

Hopefully we don't.

Yeah, it's all about will he be able to convert win its under pressure? Because he's one of the best quarterbacks when he is not pressured. When you're looking at not pressured His EPA per dropback is fourth in the NFL. Now, EPA per dropback is a measurement of how much are you helping your team's chances of scoring based on down distance, locational field. It really contextualizes the yards that they get, and he's one of the best. It drops to nearly negative point three p nine EPA per dropback when he's under pressure, and he should expect that. We saw what Steve Spagnola was able to do last time on the AFC Championship game to be able to bring those cover zero blitz is meaning all out blitz to try and get that pressure.

And even though I'm being honored tonight, I don't feel that tonight is about me or organization. Tonight is about all you in this room, right here and everyone watching at home. We live in a world that constantly tries to divide us, whether that's politically, economically, racially, sexual orientation that we're constantly being divided.

But I believe in humanity. I believe that we are all.

I believe that we're all more alike than we are different, and I believe that all of us have the power to be the change that we want to see in our society. And no actors too big and no actors too small. But I just encourage you to try to be a blessing in someone else's life and see how that changes your life. Let's define success by new metrics, not by the things that we acquire, but by how many people we positively impact. And this is a night that I'll never never forget. And I thank you, and I appreciate you, and have a good night.

And like like I told you before, I think when you talk about time, eventually it reveals the truth and it's just a matter of time.

We have a great relationship.

He's, matter of fact, the only guy I would talk to on the football field while playing. We always were cracking like trash talkers, both of us, you know, like, stop holding me, Sterling, you're cheating right now. I'm talking to the rest. Tell him, hey man, this do this too big? You should be playing full back instead of receiver. So it was a perfect day, you know, I just couldn't have wish it anybody. The only thing you think about is all those people were able to pour things into me who are not going to be able to be here, you know, And that's the only thing other than that. Man, it's just been a wonderful, wonderful experience.
