Brian Baldinger and Mark Ross have some answers. 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: They'll be here to help us separate the first year 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: studs from the possible duds. Welcome inside with the Insiders 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: alongside Jenny Batista and Mike Garafalo. 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: I am Tom Pelissero. 16 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: One hundred and twelve days out from the kickoff to 17 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: the empty twenty five NFL season. Now that we've had 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: twenty three hours or so to really break down all 19 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy two games in our heads, we've 20 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: got some thoughts. Let's start out right there with some 21 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: of the unique portions of this twenty twenty five NFL schedule. 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: As you take a look, starting out with the Dallas 23 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys first team in NFL history to play four Thursday 24 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: games in a single season. 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: They're not all short weeks. 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: That includes the kickoff game against the Eagles as well 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: as a game the week after Thanksgiving. 28 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: The Chiefs. Are you sick of them? Too bad? 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: Seven primetime games for them, most in the NFL this season. 30 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,639 Speaker 1: The Eagles Lions both facing eleven playoff teams. 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 2: That is tied for the most in the NFL. 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the Ravens this is an interesting quirk, the only 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: team with multiple three game home stands. 34 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: There is so much more here, Judy, what caught your 35 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: attention as you've got a chance to break down this schedule? 36 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: Well, the NFL also held a conference call this afternoon 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: with some of the executives who are charged with making 38 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: the schedule. And one thing that Mike North, who is 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: one of those executives, pointed out is they don't know 40 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: anything more about what Aaron Rodgers is doing. If he's 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or not, then the 42 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: rest of us know, and so they had to proceed 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: accordingly when they were making up the schedule, which is 44 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: why if you look at the schedule, the Steelers visit 45 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 3: the Jets on the first Sunday of the season. That's 46 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: a big game justin Fields, good revenge game for him. Well, 47 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: it would be even bigger if they knew for sure 48 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: that Aaron Rodgers was going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback. 49 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: That game is slated for one o'clock on Sunday. Certainly 50 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: the possibility would have been for a broader time slot, 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: a later time slot for that game if they'd known 52 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. Still, the Steelers are a national brand. They've 53 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: got lots of primetime games. They are in the four 54 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: to twenty five window later on in the season. 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: But the league admits that if they had known. 56 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: For sure what Aaron rodgers plans were, the Pittsburgh Steelers 57 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: schedule might have looked a little bit more like the 58 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: New York Jets schedule has looked in the last few years. 59 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 60 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 5: I mean, sometimes this is a better way to go 61 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 5: about things, I guess, because you're a victim of your 62 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 5: own success or anticipated success, because that's how you wind 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 5: up in primetime slots and short weeks and Thursdays. The 64 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 5: Washington Commanders are that team. They were the surprise team 65 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 5: a year ago. They are not surprising or catching anybody 66 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 5: off guard with the way that their schedule is laid out. 67 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 5: I mean, we'll see listen. 68 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: Art Rooney with. 69 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 5: The schedule, said that they were unhappy with some of 70 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 5: the late season primetime games. They can flex out of 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 5: some of those if Rogers is not with them. But 72 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 5: also they're the Steelers. They're going to be successful, right, 73 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 5: That's what they've been over the course of the Mike 74 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 5: talman Ara, So they'll be thrust into the spotlight. I 75 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 5: just I go back to Washington being in the spotlight. 76 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 5: They're playing a maybe got a tough schedule, right, They're 77 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 5: going overseas in the Spain game, They've got a bunch 78 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 5: of short weeks, They've got a bunch of games against 79 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 5: teams coming off Buys actually lead the league in that department. 80 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 5: So I'm watching the Washington Commanders over the last day 81 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 5: as I've looked more at schedule. To me, that's the 82 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 5: team that I feel like is going to pay for 83 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 5: their success in twenty twenty four. Got to answer the bell, 84 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 5: Dan Quinn, and now we're gonna welcome in Mark Ross, 85 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 5: Judy Maatista, Tom just disappeared. He'll be back shortly though. 86 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 5: Don't miss him too much. Mark Ross, We've got you 87 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 5: guys to break down what we learned here. I just 88 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 5: talked about Washington. Judy, start with you. What team, in 89 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 5: your mind has the toughest schedule, as you've broken it 90 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 5: down over the last. 91 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 3: Day or so, Well, it is a team we are 92 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: all very familiar with here on this panel. The New 93 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 3: York Giants have an absolute beast of a schedule. They 94 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: played ten teams that were in the playoffs last year. Obviously, 95 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 3: they've got the Commanders and the Eagles, who were both 96 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 3: in the NFC Championship Game. Plus they played the AFC. 97 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 3: They played the NFC North and the AFC West. Both 98 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: of those divisions sent three teams each to the playoffs, 99 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: and the Giants have to. 100 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 4: Play all of them. 101 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 3: The first half of the schedule is especially difficult. They 102 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 3: start with two games on the road, then they come 103 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: home and have to host the Eagles on a short 104 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: week on a Thursday. It's a very tough start to 105 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: the season, and certainly, you know with a quarterback question 106 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: that's going to be hanging over this team really the 107 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: entire season. You of course look for the opening where 108 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: could they make a quarterback switch. Well, there's always that 109 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 3: mini by after you have a Thursday night game, but 110 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: the true buy doesn't happen for the Giants until week fourteen, 111 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: so a really late by in a very very tough 112 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 3: slate and. 113 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 6: Judy up, I was trying to pick another team just 114 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 6: to make this interesting, but when I knew the Giants' 115 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 6: opponents coming into the schedule, I was like, this is daunting, 116 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 6: And then the schedule actually came out, this is impossible. 117 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 6: I really can only see one game I think they'll 118 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 6: possibly be favored, and. 119 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: That's at New Orleans. 120 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 6: You know, maybe at Las Vegas, but I think they'll 121 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 6: be a lot better, and New England's going to be 122 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 6: a lot better. 123 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 7: But besides that, all of those. 124 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 6: Teams you talked about, I mean, it's really looking bleak 125 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 6: for the Giants, even fine two wins, one win, two wins, 126 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,559 Speaker 6: so and we talked about Jackson Dart, but it's also 127 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 6: the otis on head coach Brian Davile and GM Joe Shade, 128 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 6: and I know there's been talk of we're going a 129 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 6: red shirt Jackson Dart all the way the next year. 130 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 6: But if they're piling up at oh and six, oh 131 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 6: and seven, one and ten, whatever, that is you got 132 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 6: to think owner John marri is going to say, well, 133 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 6: what's going on here? And so there's going to be 134 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 6: a lot of discussion about a lot of people, key 135 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 6: players in the Giants organization if this schedule is playing 136 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 6: out like we think it will. 137 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 5: Judy, just look at those first seven eight weeks there, 138 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 5: and it's like Eagles, Denver Eagles. I believe it's by 139 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 5: just like how they're gonna survive this stretch. But listen, 140 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 5: that's no surprise because last week Cynthia Freeland we broke 141 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 5: it down on the show who had the easiest and 142 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 5: toughest schedules based on expected wins on what Cynthia has 143 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 5: put out there, and the Giants were thirty second. They 144 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 5: were the toughest schedule, the easiest schedule according to that 145 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 5: with San Francisco. But Judy, sometimes the structure of the 146 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 5: schedule factored into it. So now seeing how it has 147 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 5: laid out, who do you think has the most I 148 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 5: call it easiest favorable schedule? 149 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the schedule came out pretty favorable for 150 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: the New England Patriots. They have a pretty easy strength 151 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: of schedule anyway. They are thirtieth, so they're one of 152 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: the easiest schedules anyway, according to opponents records from last season, 153 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: but just the way it's been laid out I think 154 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: favors them too. They have a stretch in the middle 155 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: of the season where they play three straight games against 156 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: teams that maybe playing rookie quarterbacks by that time. This 157 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: is a team that I think the league expects to 158 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: be significantly upgraded from last season. They are certainly not 159 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: all the way back to where they were in the 160 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 3: Tom Brady, Bill Belichick era, where every game was in 161 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 3: a national slot. That's not the case yet, although they 162 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: do have more national games this season than they did 163 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: last season. So I think the hopes are high that 164 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: the Patriots are going to start rebounding, but I think 165 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: the schedule will give them a pretty. 166 00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 4: Good boost too. 167 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 6: Judy, one hundred percent with you on this one too. 168 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 6: I tried, but once again, Giants Patriots in lockstep, always 169 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 6: tied together. So can the Patriots go from four to 170 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 6: thirteen to thirteen and four? 171 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 7: And when I'm looking at that schedule. 172 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 8: I was like, there's a chance. 173 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 6: Of course, There's two games against Buffalo home and away, 174 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 6: and in three away games against Cincinnati, Tampa Bay, and Baltimore. 175 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 6: But outside of that, I think this Patriots team is 176 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 6: going to be drastically proved and have a chance to 177 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 6: win all those other games on their schedule. Just the 178 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 6: Mike Brabel factor coming in there, Drake May a year better, 179 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 6: all the free agents that they signed, headlined by Milton 180 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 6: Williams and Carlton Davis, and then I thought they absolutely 181 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 6: crushed it in the draft with Will Campbell and Treveon Henderson. 182 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 6: So I think their talent influx is so much better 183 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 6: than what they had last year. The coaching is going 184 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 6: to be so much better, and I think this team 185 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 6: is going to be right there with Buffalo to say 186 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 6: we could take this top spot. 187 00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: Wow. 188 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 5: A lot of new faces on both sides of the ball, 189 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 5: but also a familiar face on the defensive side of 190 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 5: the ball, Christian Barmore. They gave him a big contract 191 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 5: a couple of years ago. He said he's been fully 192 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 5: clear to have blood clots last year and expects to 193 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 5: be there for Week one, So even a returning face 194 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 5: is in addition to that Patriots lineup, Judy one more 195 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 5: for you. The team with the most interesting aspect to 196 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 5: the schedule that you noticed, Well. 197 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: I'm going to mention something you mentioned. The Commanders. They 198 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 3: are clearly a beloved team again. The league has waited 199 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: a long time to love the Commanders and they are back. 200 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: And I think the big signal there is putting them 201 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 3: in one of the international games for the first time 202 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: in nine years. 203 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 4: Let's face it, for a long time, the. 204 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 3: League did not really want to think about the Washington Commanders. 205 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: They weren't a very good team. Their actions off the 206 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 3: field weren't so great either, and so they just sort 207 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 3: of wanted to keep them to the side. Not only anymore, 208 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: they are a really good team. They have a budding 209 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 3: superstar in Jaden Daniels. Obviously, they went to the NFC 210 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 3: Championship Game last year. 211 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 4: They want to show them off. 212 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 3: Everything is coming up good for the Washington Commanders now. 213 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 3: And when you look at the schedule, in addition to 214 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 3: the international game, they have a bunch of primetime games. 215 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 3: They're playing on Christmas Day. That tells you the NFL 216 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 3: is happy to have. 217 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 4: The spotlight on the Commanders once again. 218 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 7: Well mine was. 219 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 6: When you know the schedule comes out, there's going to 220 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 6: be chalk of primetime games with the Chiefs and the 221 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 6: Eagles and the Ravens and the Bills and then you 222 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 6: look at it and you say the Falcons with five 223 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 6: Primetime had to look at it a couple of times 224 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 6: there to make sure that that was right. But I 225 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 6: don't know if it was just a quirk because of 226 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 6: the opponents that they are playing, or at the league 227 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 6: intentionally thinks well, maybe Michael Pennis is going to light 228 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 6: it up and be an MVP type candidate and have 229 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 6: a resurgence with the dirty birds down there. So that 230 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 6: definitely jumped out at me as saying, how in the 231 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 6: world do the Falcons do this? So could they take 232 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 6: a big step, you know with the year number two there, 233 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 6: but and Michael Pennicks developing. We will see, but they'll 234 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 6: definitely have a lot of exposure tot's see if they 235 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 6: can get it done. 236 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they played well in a national spotlight late 237 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 5: in the season of that game in Washington. That one 238 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 5: was a thriller there with Michael Pennix performing extremely well. 239 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 5: So certainly that's part of the equation there. Judy Mark 240 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 5: great thoughts on the schedule. To check out the full 241 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 5: what we learned analysis, goo to NFL dot com. Not 242 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 5: now after the show, we want you to keep watching Tom. 243 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 2: So potentially big news incoming. 244 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: NFL owner is going to discuss a resolution at next 245 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: week's league meeting in Minneapolis that would allow NFL players 246 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: to participate in the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics. Resolution 247 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: would permit no more than one player from each NFL 248 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: team per country to participate, plus each teams that has 249 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: been an international player. 250 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: There's also injury protection for clubs. 251 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: Built in requires minimum field standards answering some of those 252 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: questions that have existed. 253 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 7: It would be a. 254 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: Huge disruption of twenty twenty eight because the Summer Games 255 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: in LA run from July fourteenth to thirtieth. So now 256 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: judy these stages potentially sat at a time that we 257 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: know the NFL is trying to increasingly take the game international. Here, 258 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: this could be the NFL's answer to the nineteen ninety 259 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: two Dream Team, assuming that the resolution passes next week. 260 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 3: Yes, look when they announced that flag football was going 261 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: to be part of the LA Olympics, immediately you heard 262 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 3: current football players saying they wanted in. Well, this is 263 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 3: now going to be the opportunity to open the door. 264 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 3: You're right, it has overtures of the Dream Team that 265 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: we remember NBA players crushing the rest of the world 266 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: in basketball. Obviously, the concerns here are injury protections for 267 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 3: the teams. You're going to want to protect teams if 268 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is going to be on the field participating 269 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: in the Olympics. 270 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 4: But this is a huge initiative for the NFL. 271 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 3: They have been trying to grow the game internationally, and 272 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 3: they've been trying to grow flag football in this country 273 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 3: and elsewhere. So this is an enormous opportunity to get 274 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 3: millions of eyeballs onto flag football, onto the biggest stars 275 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: in the NFL today. I am going to be so 276 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: interested to see which one player is allowed to play 277 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: for the United States team off any team in the NFL. 278 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 3: I feel like there's going to be a whole lot 279 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: of meetings and arm twisting going on to allow that. 280 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 3: But also I'm very curious to see what kind of 281 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 3: protections they. 282 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 4: Have to come up with. 283 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to be and the notion that the 284 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 5: US is going to run away with this too. We've 285 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 5: got a lot of NFL players with heritage that takes 286 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 5: them back to other countries that could potentially make them 287 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 5: eligible that if the field could be more balanced, and 288 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 5: this could be more of an intriguing I know it's 289 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 5: our game, I know it's an American game, but this 290 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 5: could be more of an intriguing competition as we get 291 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 5: closer to these twenty twenty eight games, I know some 292 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 5: coaches are going to be nervous. I know some teams 293 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 5: are going to be nervous about this. There's going to 294 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 5: be a risk reward here because if a player gets 295 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 5: hurt before the start of training camp, it's going to 296 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 5: be devastating to that team potentially, because these are all 297 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 5: going to be some of the best players in the 298 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 5: league obviously that are going to be playing in this one. 299 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 5: But the reward is what flag football really has been 300 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 5: and why it's been a part of what the NFL 301 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 5: has done. You're seeing at the Pro Bowl and elsewhere 302 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 5: with the youth football players of America as well of 303 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 5: the world as well, I should say, because it helps 304 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 5: put the sport on a global stage. They've been doing 305 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 5: that with the NFL games over there. So the balancing 306 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 5: act here is basically cross your fingers. Hopefully no one 307 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 5: gets hurt, and if that's the case, then it's a 308 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 5: great way to put a spotlight on the game. 309 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: I'm just here for whatever the NFL equivalent to Charles 310 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: Barkley versus Angola is going to end. 311 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: Up being the dream team. 312 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: Ran roughshot over just about everybody back in nineteen ninety two. 313 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: But that's also the reason it inspired so many kids 314 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: in different countries to get good at basketball, and now 315 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: it's a competitive sport, certainly something to keep an eye on. 316 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: There was a time Williams would have rather played for 317 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: Angola or any other country, any team that was not 318 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. This according to a new book by 319 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: ESPN Seth Wickersham, which includes quotes from Caleb's father Carl, 320 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: talking about the various things that they consider doing to 321 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: try to avoid going to a place that, in Carl Williams' words, 322 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: is a place that quarterbacks go to die. 323 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: Obviously, none of those things ended up happening. 324 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is a Chicago Bear, and now he has 325 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: a new head coach and Ben Johnson who probably is 326 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: going to make him feel a little bit better about 327 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: being in Chicago. 328 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 7: I don't see it quite the same way. 329 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 9: I see this is what a great opportunity we have 330 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 9: to do something that really has never been done there 331 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 9: hasn't been a four thousand yard passer here in this franchise. 332 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 7: And I think Caleb is going to be the. 333 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 9: First one, and one of many years, many seasons to 334 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 9: come where he's able to accomplish that feat. So I 335 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 9: see a chance for greatness here for him. He's been 336 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 9: communicated that way, and he feels the same way. I 337 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,479 Speaker 9: don't know what's going on prior to him joining the organization, 338 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 9: but he is very proud to be a Chicago Bear. 339 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 9: That's what our conversations have included, and he's really excited 340 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 9: to get to work right now and be the best 341 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 9: version of himself for twenty twenty five. 342 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: The story also said that after meeting with the Vikings 343 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: at the scouting combine and specifically coach Kevin O'Connell, Caleb 344 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: Williams wanted to be a Viking. Instead, Caleb goes to Chicago, 345 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: the Vikings draft JJ McCarthy, and what do you know, 346 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: Week one, Monday Night Football, they are going to meet 347 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: up Mike. 348 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 2: There were rumblings. 349 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: About this throughout the pre draft process a year ago, 350 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: that Caleb Williams might try to do what eland Anon 351 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: did once upon a time and dictate exactly where he went. 352 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: I think the key thing for people to understand is 353 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: they researched all this. They looked into these different legal 354 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: theories and things. They didn't actually push any of those buttons, 355 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: in part because Caleb got comfortable with the Bears to 356 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: the process the Bears were colely comfortable with, and after 357 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: a bumpy first season which we saw flashes of Caleb Williams, 358 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: they now feel like they've got the right coach in 359 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: supporting Cash to really let Caleb flourish. 360 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 5: Well. The question and in Caleb's going to be asked 361 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 5: about this is how much of this was coming from 362 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 5: him and how much was coming from his father, Because 363 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 5: you talk about whispers during the draft process for Caleb Williams, 364 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 5: there was talk that his father could disrupt the draft 365 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 5: process in one or a number of ways, and this 366 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 5: potentially was one of the things that the teams were 367 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 5: talking about. I would just say at this point things 368 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 5: have changed. Ben Johnson is there. That is a good 369 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 5: thing for a quarterback if you buy in and if 370 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 5: you're able to execute what he wants and if Caleb 371 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 5: Williams is not in Chicago. I saw a reference to 372 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 5: this when his contract is up at that point, he 373 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 5: could get when his contract's up, there's franchise tag, there's 374 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 5: all kinds of mechanisms to keep him there, and at 375 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 5: that point, if they want to keep him around, they're 376 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 5: going to keep him around. And if he's that successful, 377 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 5: he'll probably want to stay around. So all this is 378 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 5: just going to be stuff that we're talking about in 379 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 5: the past if we get there. 380 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not quite concerned about what happened pre draft 381 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 3: because they never pulled any. 382 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 4: Of those levers. 383 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 3: I am interested more interested in another excerpt that came 384 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 3: out where Taylor Williams said he got no guidance about 385 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 3: how to watch film. He was watching film by himself 386 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 3: last year. That's certainly not great, especially not great for 387 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback. Definitely does not reflect well on the 388 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,959 Speaker 3: former staff. Again, things are different now. The Bears basically 389 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,239 Speaker 3: blew everything out and rebuilt the team to try to 390 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: get the best out of Caleb Williams, and of course 391 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: that starts with Ben Johnson. Certainly, I think these excerpts 392 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: are interesting, but I do think all of that is 393 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: in the past. About what kind of fretting they might 394 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: have done pre draft. 395 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: Well, that also speaks to the challenge that Thomas Brown 396 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: had on his plate when he was one week it 397 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: was all right, you're into the new OC, and then 398 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: like three weeks later, okay, you're also now the head 399 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: coach and the OC. Yeah, there was a lot going 400 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: on in Chicago last year. Still beat the Packers, as 401 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: many Bears fans reminded me when the draft was in 402 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay. 403 00:18:59,119 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago. 404 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: I want to come on this episode of the Insiders, 405 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: including a deeper look at the Cowboys rather unique schedule. 406 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: Our Jane Slander will be here to help us break 407 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: down that as well as look further into one of 408 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: the teams that are gonna be facing a couple of 409 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: times next season with Washington. We will also get back 410 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: to some of those rookies going through their first off 411 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: seasons now with new teams. That includes Travis Hunter. Is 412 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: he set up for success in Jacksonville. We'll discuss it 413 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: a lot more. Come here on the Insiders. 414 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 5: Hey, look at the Denver broncos a schedule. They had 415 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 5: a creative rodeo type thing to release the schedule with 416 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 5: kids falling off a sheep. 417 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 10: It was. 418 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 5: It is interesting, But here's the full schedule. Just in 419 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 5: grid format for you if you're just about the nuts 420 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 5: and the bolts, and we got a couple of nuts 421 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 5: and bolts here with us, no chargers. I don't know 422 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 5: why I said bolts, just a couple of nuts. Mark 423 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 5: Ross and Brian Baldinger love you guys. You can smile. 424 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 5: That's okay. Maybe I just picked you both off. Who knows, Mark, 425 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 5: we're going to talk about rookies in the best place 426 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 5: to succeed. How am I getting there from the Broncos 427 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 5: because you have a Bronco on that list. 428 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 6: I got a Bronco on the list who I think 429 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 6: has a chance to be a defensive Rookie of the Year, 430 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 6: and that's Today Baron, the ultra talented, versatile defensive back 431 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 6: from Texas who played all over the place. There most 432 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 6: times when you scout a player and say, well he 433 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 6: plays a lot of places, he's average, but this guy 434 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 6: was outstanding at. 435 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 8: Everywhere he lined up. 436 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 6: You put him at that Broncos defense, with that secondary, 437 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 6: with Defensive Player of the Year Pat Curtained and your 438 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 6: vance Joseph is going to have a lot of flexibility 439 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 6: with Baron of where to play him and where to 440 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 6: maximize game in and game out because you got certained 441 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 6: shutting down the field, barn, you just go reap the 442 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 6: benefits of that, and that fears pass Rush Baldy. 443 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 8: So he's my guy. 444 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 6: I love watching him in college. I know you got 445 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 6: a similar guy if you like. 446 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 11: Yeah, I do like Jenay Bart, I think we all do. 447 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 11: But mine is James Pierce in Atlanta. You know, the 448 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 11: Falcons obviously traded back into the first round, gave up 449 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 11: a first round pick next year to the Rams. 450 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 7: I'm sure the Rams thought that this is just. 451 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 11: A bounty that you know, it's it's just a luxury 452 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 11: to be able to do this. But if James Pierce 453 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 11: turns out to be somebody that they've been looking for 454 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 11: for a long long time to go, you know, with 455 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 11: Jalen Walker and they improved their sacked totals from thirty 456 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 11: one a year ago where they were at the bottom 457 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 11: of the league. And James Pierce comes in and he 458 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 11: brings some heat off the edge and really starts getting 459 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 11: after the Baker mayfields at Bryce Youngs in their division 460 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 11: to make them more competitive. I think that this trade 461 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 11: might still have a chance of working out in favor 462 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 11: of the Falcons. It was a lot but if Pierce delivers, 463 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 11: it isn't. 464 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 5: You gave me a couple of defensive players. Let's go 465 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 5: to the offensive side of the ball. That's tuck specifically 466 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 5: wide receivers. 467 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 6: Mark, we got to go with a Mecca Buka from 468 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 6: you going to Tampa Bay there coming out of Ohio State, 469 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 6: very similar to Jackson Smith and Jigba when he came 470 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 6: out and he went to Seattle with DK Metcalf and 471 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 6: Tyler Lockett. Well, now he's going to Tampa with with 472 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 6: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin coming back healthy hopefully if 473 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield with the resurgent, it's throwing for four thousand 474 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 6: yards over the past two seasons. You know they're going 475 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 6: to run the ball. With Bucky Irvin and Rashad White. 476 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 6: There so a lot of options in that Tampa offense 477 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 6: where he can just plug in there. 478 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 8: He may not get a. 479 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 6: Ton of volume, but I'm sure he'll make a lot 480 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 6: of huge plays in the slot, much like he did 481 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 6: at Ohio State. Baldy, and you got to watch this 482 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 6: guy because he really knows how to play football. 483 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 11: Now he's very polished, Mark, You're right, but I really 484 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 11: want to take a look at Travis Hunt. Mike and 485 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 11: myself interview Tony Basselli right here in his program yesterday, 486 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 11: and he couldn't stop raving about Travis Hunt. Now they're 487 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 11: in shorts, they're in helmets. It's not real football. But 488 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 11: they love the kid, the person, the competitor. They love 489 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 11: the fact that he just is indefatigable. It's interesting Mark 490 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 11: just watching him like we did at the Pro Day. 491 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 11: He doesn't wear gloves. Now he might wearhim for a game, 492 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 11: but he doesn't wearing the practice. He wants to hear 493 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 11: the sound of the ball hitting his hands. He wants 494 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 11: to work on his hands. And so there he is 495 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 11: talking to Liam Cohen right here. But I'm really excited 496 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 11: to see what he does, not just offensively, offensively, but 497 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 11: you know defensively, how they line up when they line 498 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 11: him up. 499 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 7: How many plays the game did he played? 500 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 11: But playing an opposite Brian Thomas Junior, a real breakout 501 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 11: start immediately a year ago for Jacksonville. They need some 502 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 11: pop in his offense. Uh, and I think Travis Hunter 503 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 11: has a chance to provide that. 504 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 5: What is the sound of the football hitting the hands? 505 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 5: Is it that John Madden thwap or it's not. 506 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 7: It's not this. You want to you want to hear it. 507 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 11: Like very little sound here, Mike, Like like you really 508 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 11: want it to be like. 509 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 2: Like like a baby this sound, Mike. 510 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 8: You want to be nice and soft. 511 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: You really don't want to hear the sound. 512 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 8: That's when you're great hands, it's nice and soft. 513 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, you see, scouting is not just in the eyes, 514 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 5: that's in the ears. Speaking of scouting, give us more 515 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 5: insight on some offensive rookies in a position to succeed Mark. 516 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: We'll go running back here. 517 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 6: And that's so Marion Hampton, who has my number two 518 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 6: on my list of rookies in the best situations who 519 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 6: And I thought he was going to go to Denver. Yeah, 520 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 6: I thought Mark drafts. I thought he's going to go 521 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 6: to Denvers because the dire need. Well, if it's not 522 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 6: that you want to go to a Harball offense that 523 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 6: knows that he wants to pound the rock, and there's 524 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 6: no doubt about that. Of course, they got the sensational 525 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 6: justin Herbert there, but Harball said let's run it. 526 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 8: Naja Harris is there. 527 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 6: But this guy is just so much more explosive and 528 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 6: versatile out of the backfield running it, but also as 529 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 6: a receiver, so I think he'll get plenty of touches. 530 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 6: One of the best offensive lines in the NFL with 531 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 6: Alt and Slater there. So I think he is the 532 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 6: perfect match for an offensive system and a lot of talent. 533 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 5: Mark. 534 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 11: If we just go back a month ago, two months ago, 535 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 11: nobody went under more consternation than Will Campbell come out 536 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 11: of LSU. 537 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 7: The armlank was just incessant. And you know, is he 538 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 7: a guard? Is he a tackle? Well? 539 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 11: New England made him the first offensive lineman drafted. They 540 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 11: want him to protect the blind side of Drake May. 541 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 11: His first week now first week, Max Ross, He's coming 542 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 11: to town and so he's going to get tested. 543 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 7: Right off the bat. Max plays both sides. 544 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 11: But I'm sure Max wants to test a rookie, let 545 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 11: him feel his punch, welcome him to the to the 546 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 11: NFL the way veterans love to do. 547 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 7: Offensive lineman. But I think he's going to stand the 548 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 7: test eight. 549 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 11: You know, last year Drake May was sacked once every 550 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 11: eight and a half dropbacks. They've got to improve that. 551 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 11: I think it starts with the play of left tackle. 552 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 11: I'm anxious to watch Will Campbell and the fact that 553 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 11: this arm link is just a big deal about nothing. 554 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 7: I think he's going to play real well at that spot. 555 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 5: Mark Ross, thank you very much for your insight, Baldy 556 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 5: hanging there. You're back later in the show because you, 557 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 5: like Travis Hunter, are indefatigable. I heard that earlier. It 558 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 5: was a great, great word. 559 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: Take a look at the Cowboys twenty twenty five schedule, 560 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: which includes a record four Thursday games all kicks off one. 561 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 2: Under twelve days from right now. 562 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: Against the Eagles in the NFL Kickoff Game, one matchup 563 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: in which a couple of the Cowboys. 564 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 2: Stars certainly seem intrigued in competence. 565 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 7: Score pre Dition's Week one. 566 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 12: That's gonna be like twenty four to twenty one Dallas, 567 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 12: twenty four to twenty one Dallas. 568 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: Because Eagles five. 569 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 8: I ain't gonna lie Eagles just five. 570 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 12: They gonna get days like they they talented as hell. 571 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 12: They're gonna get days like. I'm not saying that we're 572 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 12: gonna shut them up. They're gonna get Theays, but we're 573 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 12: gonna limit that. 574 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 7: We're coming. We gotta gag. They gonna get days. 575 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 12: But guess what our offense five to now, we're gonna 576 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 12: get ours we're gonna get off, believe. And I'm sorry 577 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 12: that Quinn thomin o'bay don't last over here? 578 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 13: Man? 579 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 7: What is that? 580 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 12: That's what they call whenntioned? 581 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 8: I think he bos fans in here. I don't care 582 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 8: who's they're talking about. 583 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 12: You going to Quintanio Bay, Quintanamo Bay. 584 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 8: I say I never been locked on on any other. 585 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: All right, Micah Parsons sat in the stage, which certainly 586 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: should be an interesting Cowboys season. Welcome back to the Insiders, 587 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: Tom Pilacero, Judy Batista, and our friend down in Dallas, 588 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: Jane Slater. 589 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: Jane, I guess, I mean this is. 590 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: Standard stuff for mic up, but the gauntlet's been thrown 591 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: down a little bit here. How confident are the Cowboys 592 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: that they eventually taking steps to compete with the defending champs? 593 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 14: That was awesome, Tom, And if you listen to that 594 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 14: whole stream that was for their schedule release, really good stuff. 595 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 14: Having the guys miked up. And I gotta be honest, 596 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 14: I don't about y'all. I have not heard of Quinnyanimo 597 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 14: Bay essentially saying that they put CD on an island 598 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 14: and locked him up. Uh yeah, Like, let's look at 599 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 14: these two teams. The Cowboys are opening up their season 600 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 14: against a team that went seventy five and thirteen against 601 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 14: them in terms of outscoring them in their two matchups 602 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 14: last year. 603 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 4: Now, look, Dak. 604 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 14: Prescott is nined four all time against the Eagles. 605 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 4: You've got to love that. This is the. 606 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 14: Game that sets the tone for this season. This is 607 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 14: on the road for the Cowboys. And so when you 608 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 14: look at what the Cowboys have done in the off season, 609 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 14: you have to ask. 610 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 4: Yourself have they done enough to compete with them? 611 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 14: Because the thing that I'm keeping an eye on, really 612 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 14: when you look at the Eagles is this young defensive 613 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 14: unit under Vic Fangio. They had their growing pains last year, 614 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 14: but they were a big reason why this team ended 615 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 14: up going all the way to the Super Bowl. 616 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 4: And winning it all. You've got quinnyon. 617 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 14: Mitchell, You've got Cooper dejen and you're going to be 618 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 14: matching those two up against not only Ceedee Lamb, but 619 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 14: now George Pickens. I think the bigger question for me 620 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 14: is going to be how do they line up against 621 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 14: some of that pass rush from the Eagles. You know, 622 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 14: they went out and got Javonte Williams, They went out 623 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 14: and got Miles Sanders. Then they went and got the 624 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 14: rookie Shadeen Blue. But you you really don't know what 625 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 14: to expect from Jadeen Blue just yet. The big problem 626 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 14: I think for the Cowboys at least was the lack 627 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 14: of pass pro up front, their ability to really get 628 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 14: things going to protect the quarterback. You've got Dak coming 629 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 14: back from an injury. They hope that they addressed that 630 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 14: with Tyler book Booker rather in the draft, taking him 631 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 14: in the first round. And so I think that on paper, 632 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 14: it looks like the Cowboys have done what they need 633 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 14: to do to match up. 634 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 4: With them offensively. 635 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 14: From a defensive standpoint, but that is certainly going to 636 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 14: be a game that's going to get a lot of 637 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 14: people excited about the football season. 638 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 4: All right. 639 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: That game is one of six games in prime time 640 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 3: for the Dallas Cowboys. But the real blockbuster of the 641 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 3: schedule is actually the Thursday afternoon game against the Kansas 642 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 3: City Chiefs. It's been an awfulay long time since they 643 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 3: have played the Chiefs. 644 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 4: Going to be a lot of eyeballs on this game. 645 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 4: Are they ready for it? 646 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 14: You know, the last time they played the Chiefs on Thanksgiving, 647 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 14: Judy it was all the way back thirty years ago, 648 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 14: nineteen ninety five, a year that means a lot to 649 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 14: the Cowboys because that's the last time they won a 650 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 14: Super Bowl. Here's another fun fact. In that year, they 651 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 14: started on the road against a divisional opponent. That's happening 652 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 14: with the Cowboys. Of course, they play the Philadelphia Eagles 653 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 14: on the road, and they're home opener in week two. 654 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 4: That is also happening. 655 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 14: So all three of these things are happening for the 656 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 14: first time for them, and thirty years is this their year? 657 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 5: What we call it hopium around here. 658 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 14: Jesse Holly, former Cowboys player, came up with that term. 659 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 14: So the Cowboys are trying to hold on to a 660 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 14: little hopium that there is something in their cards. But yeah, 661 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 14: that gauntlet week twelve through seventeen, though, Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, Chargers, Commanders, 662 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 14: that is going to be a tough one. Let's hope 663 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 14: the Cowboys stay healthy. 664 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: We've got Hopiam, We've got Queen Yanimo Bay. Hopefully for 665 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, it won't be a bay of digs, you know, 666 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: because that one badly anyway.

Welcome back to 683 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: the Insiders Town Pillar Sera, Mike Herefolo, join now by 684 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: our fantasy expert. 685 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 2: Michael f. Florio. 686 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: I find ways, Michael love every year to mess up something. 687 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: A lot of this schedule related when it comes to 688 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: my fantasy team. When you look at this from your 689 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: perspective last night, what's the first thing that you're looking 690 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: for for fantasy impact from a. 691 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 13: Real life standpoint, it's the social teams kudos to them, 692 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 13: they all crush it with the schedule release, But for 693 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 13: fantasy it's the bye weeks. The bye weeks are the 694 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 13: final piece of the puzzle to getting ready for the 695 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 13: upcoming season, because we now know where players got signed, 696 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 13: we know where they have been drafted, we know what 697 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 13: rosters are going to look like for the most part, 698 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 13: outside of where Aaron Rodgers is going to be playing 699 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,239 Speaker 13: this year. Now we know when the games are going 700 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 13: to be played, and more importantly, when teams are not 701 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 13: going to be playing. People nowadays like to start drafting 702 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 13: in January and February, and you're kind of doing it 703 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 13: blindly if you don't have the schedule, because you could 704 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 13: draft a great team. If all of your guys are 705 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 13: on buy on the same week, it doesn't matter. 706 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 2: You're going to. 707 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 8: Lose that week and it's going to hurt you. 708 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 13: But now that we have it out there, you could 709 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 13: start planning for when your buys are going to be 710 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 13: and stuff like that, you can start drafting. It is 711 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 13: to me, schedule release is always the unofficial start best 712 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 13: ball season, you draft season, So me, I'm very excited. 713 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 5: How do you navigate those bye weeks? Then? I mean, 714 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 5: do you like last night, say oh boy, there's a 715 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 5: cluster of running backs in week seven or Week eight 716 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 5: or other positions. I mean, how do you navigate it? 717 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 5: As an owner? 718 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 13: I think people make too big of a deal sometimes 719 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 13: at looking at the buys, Like there's certain things you 720 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 13: don't want to do right, Like you don't want to 721 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 13: draft multiple quarterbacks or tight ends with the same buy. 722 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,959 Speaker 13: But when it comes to running backs and wide receivers, 723 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 13: I pay a little less attention to that. And there's 724 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 13: a number of different ways you could handle it. The 725 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 13: most common approach is to try to space out your buys, 726 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 13: or you could do the exact opposite, like Week eight, 727 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 13: for example, has six teams on by, and shout out 728 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 13: to the schedule makers for only giving us one week 729 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 13: with six teams on by this year they were thinking 730 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 13: about us fantasy players. You could look up on players 731 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 13: in Week eight with a Week eight by, you'll pretty 732 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 13: much have a buy in fantasy. You'll take the l 733 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 13: but besides that, every you will have pretty much your 734 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 13: full roster. Another sneaky way I think is there's a 735 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 13: lot of weeks this year where only two teams are 736 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 13: on by, so you could grab like Week six is 737 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 13: the Vikings and Texans. Week seven is the Ravens and Bills. 738 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 13: Good offenses. You could target players on those offenses, one 739 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 13: because there are already guys you want in fantasy, but 740 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 13: two it's much easier to replace someone in your lineup 741 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 13: when there's only two teams on by So that to 742 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 13: me was the biggest thing that jumped out to me. 743 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: So fantasy playoffs fall week fifteen, sixteen seventeen. Unless you're 744 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: one of those weirdos who plays in week eighteen, we're 745 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: not even gonna worry about them. How much, if at all, 746 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: michae lef should I be looking at drafting or not 747 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: drafting players based upon potential matchups when we get to 748 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: the end of the season. 749 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 13: To quote the infamous Johnny Manziel zero, that's my approach, 750 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 13: at least, like I think a lot of people. 751 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 8: It is a popular. 752 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 13: Line of thinking to look ahead to the fantasy playoffs 753 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 13: and see when there are advantageous matchups stuff like that. 754 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 13: But I don't need to tell you guys, everything changes 755 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 13: week to week in the NFL. 756 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 8: We are it is a week to week game for 757 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 8: a reason. 758 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 13: So if you think you could plan successfully four months 759 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 13: down the road, it's to me it is a big 760 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 13: trap because let's look at last year for an example, 761 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 13: the Cowboys had a fantastic end of season schedule if 762 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 13: you drafted Dak for that reason, he was not out there. 763 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 13: And then on the defensive side of things, the Cowboys 764 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 13: and forty nine ers were defenses that we thought for 765 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 13: sure fantasy managers would be avoiding. Turned out they were 766 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 13: really good matchups down the stretch after injuries and stuff 767 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 13: like that occurred. So with coaching changes and player movements, 768 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 13: we don't know as much about defenses as we think 769 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 13: we do. And then you add in the big variable 770 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 13: that is injuries, teams are going to look very different 771 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 13: come Week fifteen than they do today and on Week one. 772 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 5: So I think it is. 773 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 8: A big trap. Use it as a tiebreaker maybe. 774 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 5: But nothing more. Any key fantasy matchups that you have 775 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 5: already identified based on the schedule we saw last. 776 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 13: Night, Yeah, the first one that caught my eye is 777 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 13: a Bills fantas Week one is Ravens Bills. Those are 778 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 13: two huge fantasy teams with a lot of key fantasy players. 779 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 13: Those fan bases also despise each other. Lines Ravens Week three. 780 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 13: Then you get Lines Bengals week for any Bengals game, 781 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 13: because they're gonna put up plenty of points, their defense 782 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 13: is gonna give up plenty of points. And then Commander's 783 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 13: Bears is also one that I personally am very excited for. 784 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 13: So those are ones that caught my eye from a 785 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 13: fantasy standpoint. 786 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 2: Michael, you are the best. Thank you very much. 787 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 1: So much more from you in these coming months as 788 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: we get ready for our draft. 789 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what's up?

Baldy, 810 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 3: I know what I look at as a reporter when 811 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 3: the schedule comes out. 812 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 4: I look at what the travel schedule is probably going 813 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 4: to look like. 814 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 3: But as a former player, I want to hear from you, 815 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 3: what do players look at when they look at the schedule. 816 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 7: Well, I come from a different era, Judy. 817 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 11: In fact, I was in an era before Alan Iverson 818 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 11: all right, So back then we played on Sundays and Mondays, 819 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 11: so the schedule would come out. I mean you looked 820 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 11: at the Monday night football games back in the eighties 821 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 11: and early nineties, and so I mean my first game 822 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 11: as a Cowboy was against the Steelers at Texas Stadium 823 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 11: on Monday Night. Dandy Don Terry Bradshaw, Franco, Harris, Lynn Swan, 824 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 11: I mean that was my first game. 825 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 7: I remember playing in Indianapolis. 826 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 11: On a Monday night against Cleveland and I'm in the 827 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 11: dog Pound at Cliffbey Municipal Stadium and dog bones are 828 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 11: hit me during the TV timeous And then I remember 829 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 11: being in Philadelphia as an Eagle playing the Cowboys on 830 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 11: a Monday night and there's Jimmy Johnson pacing the field 831 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 11: before the game and we'd whipped them good that day, 832 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 11: lost to them in the playoffs. But Monday Night is 833 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 11: where you know, we really concentrated and we loved playing. 834 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 7: That was an honor to play a Monday Night. 835 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 11: It was a chance for all of our friends and 836 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 11: family to see us as opposed to now where you know, 837 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 11: almost all these games are being televised. And then I thought, 838 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,760 Speaker 11: this year, the fact that the Chiefs lead all teams, 839 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 11: it's not surprising. In national games was seven and you know, 840 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,919 Speaker 11: they played in every game of the week last year 841 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 11: except for Tuesday Night, but it didn't seem to bother 842 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 11: them at all. 843 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 7: They won fifteen games, they went all the way to. 844 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 11: The super Bowl, they didn't finish it, and so they're 845 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 11: going to be rewarded for being really good, being a 846 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 11: fun team to watch, having the celebrity that kind of 847 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 11: goes with being a Chief these days, starting with Mahomes, 848 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 11: Travis Kelcey and some of the players. And so I 849 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 11: just think, Jeff, you know, when you look at the 850 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 11: Chiefs right now with seven primetime game, your comas can't 851 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 11: not put them on because they've just got much of 852 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,919 Speaker 11: an attractive draw out right now. 853 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, Baldy, and they don't run away from those opportunities. 854 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 10: In fact, they cover those. If you talk to people 855 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 10: within the Chiefs, they love the possibilities of being on 856 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 10: primetime games, of being an international game because they want 857 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 10: to build that brand. They recognize they've got one of 858 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 10: the biggest superstars in all the sports and Patrick Mahomes, 859 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 10: they've got Travis Kelcey Date and one of the biggest superstars, 860 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 10: if not the biggest superstar in music in Taylor Swift, 861 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 10: and they want to capitalize on that. So they love 862 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 10: this these platforms and you see how they play on them. 863 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 10: They rarely lose because they of that stage. And what's 864 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 10: crazy about this year though, is they're getting the Ravens 865 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 10: and the Bills, but no Bangles on the. 866 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 7: Schedule for the first time. 867 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 10: That's twenty twenty, and for my money, that's been one 868 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 10: of the hottest rivalries in the NFL over the last 869 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,439 Speaker 10: four or five years. Six games decided by one point 870 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 10: one score or less and five decided by three points 871 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 10: are less. So it's I'll miss those games, but I 872 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 10: understand they're going to play some big games anyway. 873 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 3: All right, Bald that you talked about how unusual the 874 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 3: schedule of the Chiefs played last year. Was there were 875 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 3: some quirky schedules in this go around too. What stood 876 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 3: out to you. 877 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 11: Well, I mean the Cowboys are playing four Thursday night games, Judy. 878 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,479 Speaker 11: I mean, when this Thursday night schedule came out, they said, okay, 879 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 11: everybody gets a day, everybody gets thanks you know, one 880 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 11: Thursday night game, and the Cowboys always have the Thanksgiving 881 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 11: Day game. 882 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 7: So you maybe you might get two. 883 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 11: But now you open up the season in Philly on 884 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 11: Thursday night, September fourth, Then you play your national game 885 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 11: like you do every Thanksgiving, you know, going up against 886 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,839 Speaker 11: Kansas City and a big matchup in Dallas, and then 887 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 11: a week later to give them the seven days rest, 888 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 11: you get the Lions, and then on Christmas Day you 889 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 11: play on Thanksgiving again because everybody wants to see the 890 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 11: Cowboys evidently, you know, I mean obviously they're a huge straw, 891 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 11: always have been. And so they get, you know, a 892 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 11: fourth game against the division rival, the Washington Commanders. So 893 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 11: four Thursday night games to me was a pretty good 894 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 11: court When I looked at the schedule. 895 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,800 Speaker 10: Well, Baldly, I look at that schedule too, and you 896 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 10: talk about the course of it, just how do they 897 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 10: survive that stretch there right before Thanksgiving going into December, 898 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,879 Speaker 10: where you're going to see six playoff teams and really 899 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 10: good teams in the Lions, the Cowboys, the Chiefs. 900 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 7: I don't know how that team. 901 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 2: The Cowboys. 902 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's great to have George Pickens there and all 903 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 10: the hype around that, but it's going to be a 904 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 10: rough stretch for them, and they're going to be a 905 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 10: player in the NFC. We'll find out real fast in 906 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 10: that time of. 907 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 5: The year for them. 908 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: Wednesday was the NFL schedule release and the super Bowl 909 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: for team social media units, the Vikings having fans get 910 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 1: tattoos of their opponents. 911 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I would have signed up for that one. 912 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 1: The Seahawks busted out some old school action figures. 913 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,320 Speaker 2: Is it stop motion? 914 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll call that stop motion right there, Judy, did 915 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: you have a favorite. 916 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 3: The one we just showed the Buffalo Bills.
