1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: The countdown clock has hit fifty days until the NFL

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: regular season kicks off with the Ravens against the Chiefs.

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: You know it's getting real when full squads begin to report.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: The whole Texans team, including that guy C. J. Strouds

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: in the house today. The Packers' rookies are also back

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: to work. The Seahawks rookie class walked into the building

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: in Renton, Washington. The Broncos rookies also back to work.

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: And you know who else is back to work? I

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: really never left. It's me welcome inside with the insiders.

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: I am Tom Pelicero. So much excitement as these camps

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: ramp up, and we got another jam pack show for

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: you tonight. How Saquon Barkley got to the Eagle. Some

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: fascinating insight from the Giants perspective. We will get into that.

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams once again talking about, you know, maybe someday

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: playing for a team that's not the Raiders. We'll hear

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: exactly what he had to say on that topic. Bucky

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: Brooks also going to be here with some preseason awards

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: and his rookie report. But let's start in Maria, Ohio,

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: where the Browns are certainly hoping that a couple of

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: years after making that monster trade forward to Shawn Watson,

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: they finally get a return on investment. Last season, he

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: probably played his best game in Week ten, a big

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: win over the Ravens, but suffered a season ending shoulder

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: injury that required surgery during that game. Watson spoke at

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: his youth football camp earlier today said the shoulder is

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: feeling good. He is throwing every day. Was also asked

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: about his teammate Amari Cooper, who was a surprise absence

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: back in minicamp.

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: The condition has been awesome, man, Amri been You know,

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: even when all the other guys like you missed a beat,

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: Mario has always been there.

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: We know what he can do and showing that. He's

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: showing that over the all season.

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, like the brotherhood, the love, the communication, none

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: of that stuff has missed a beat at all.

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Dane Brooks joining us right now, Bucky. Six days until

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: the Browns report. We will see whether Mari Cooper reports

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: with his veteran teammates, and if so, if he does

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: it with a new contract replacing the last year of

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: his deal. He's due twenty million dollars as he has

41
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: been throughout the course of that five year contract originally

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: signed with Dallas. Amari Cooper has put up numbers regardless

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: of who's been throwing in the football, BUCkies since he

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: got to Cleveland, and there have been a bunch of

45
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: guys throwing in the football. How important is it in

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: your mind for Deshaun Watson Marii Cooper to finally have

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: a full season together and get on the same page.

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: It's real important for the Browns to have all their

49
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 4: weapons in place, and Namari Cooper is a big piece

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 4: of that offensive puzzle. You talk about a dominant number

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: one receiver, guy that can get open against any coverage

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 4: and one who has kind of sessed the table for

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: the rest of the playmatekkers.

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: When you think about David and Joku.

55
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 4: Jerry Judy coming overboard, Eli Moore being another guy that

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: can make plays, but it starts with Amari Cooper.

57
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: Amari Cooper is the number one receiver.

58
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: We've seen him do it with a cast of characters

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: at the quarterback position, but with DeShawn Watson, hopefully they're

60
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: and healthy, it should allow Amari Cooper to take his

61
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 4: game up even to another level.

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: When you think about this office how they want to

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: throw Deshaun Watson.

64
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Bucky has barely played football over the past three seasons.

65
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one, did not play at all, set out

66
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: the season with the Texas. Twenty twenty two, of course,

67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: served a lengthy suspension, came back at the end of

68
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: the year, seemed to be gathering some momentum when he

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: got on the field in twenty twenty three, but multiple

70
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: different injuries it ends with him suffering a season ending

71
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: shoulder injury in Week ten. What are you looking for

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: at this stage from Deshaun Watson? How good do you

73
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: believe he can be if he's actually healthy in Kevin

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: Stefanski's offense.

75
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: Well, what I'm looking for, I'm looking for the return

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: of the Pro Bowl player that we once saw in Houston.

77
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: And what I'm hoping new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey has

78
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: an ability to unlock Deshaun Watson's talents.

79
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: For whatever reason, Deshaun.

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Watson hasn't really played well in Kevins Stefanski's offense.

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: That is him not so much to scheming. But the

82
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: Browns got to get a return on the investment.

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: They put a lot of money into the Deshaun Watson

84
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: when they made the trade. It is now time for

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: him to give them a return on that investment. And

86
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: the only way he can give them a SUITABWL return

87
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: he has to play at that Pro Bowl level. Because

88
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: if Deshaun Watson plays at that level, this team would

89
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: not only compete for the division, but there'll be one

90
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: of the teams that we talk about potentially being one

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: of the last teams standing in the AFC.

92
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: Somari Cooper entering the last year of his deal, he

93
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: wants a new contract. Davante Adams entering the last real

94
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: year of his monster contract that reset the wide receiver

95
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: market back as a part of that trade from Green Bay.

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers made some comments back at the celebrity golf

97
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: tournament about I look forward to play in DeVante with

98
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams again. That in turn led to some people

99
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: saying a lot of different stuff about the possibility of

100
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: a trade. Well, Adams was addressed this in multiple different

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: ways here For of course, the offseason, went on the

102
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Club Shayshe podcast with Shannon Sharp and said, in part

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: acting on the Raiders, what do I look like sitting

104
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: here talking to other people about being on another team?

105
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: And that's how I still feel it right now, he added, Well,

106
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: answer it like this. If I'm going to be reunited

107
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: with anybody, it would be Aaron Adams told Sharp before addiot,

108
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: it's not something he's actively seeking right now. All of which,

109
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: Spucky is a long way of saying, I think something

110
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of been acknowledged within the league, which is,

111
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: depending how the Jets season goes and how the Raiders

112
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: season goes. It's not happening tomorrow, but somewhere in October November,

113
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: depending on circumstances, there could be a phone call placed

114
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: from New York to Las Vegas about the availability one

115
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets. What do you make of

116
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: everything going on right now surrounding Devonte Adams?

117
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 4: Okay, so to put this in context, just got finished

118
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 4: watching Receiver on Netflix, which was great. But Devonte Adams

119
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 4: was very, very frustrated with his role with the Raiders.

120
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: It changed a little bit when Antonio Piers took over,

121
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 4: but he certainly didn't feel like he was being utilized

122
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: to the best of his ability. Of an offseason where

123
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 4: you're able to put a plan in place to make

124
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: Devonte Adams not only the number one receiver, but to

125
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 4: force feed him the ball like a number one receiver.

126
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 4: I think this is a wait and see situation with

127
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 4: Devonte Adams. If the Raiders are winning and he's actively

128
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: involved in the game plan, I don't.

129
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 3: Think it'd be an issue.

130
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: But if the Raiders get off to a slow start

131
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: and he doesn't get the touches that he feels like

132
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: he should be getting as a number one, yeah, I

133
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: think all this conversation swelling up about Devanta Adams wanted

134
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: to get to New York, Yeah, I think he may

135
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 4: have some legs to it.

136
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of former NFC North players, the Texans added a

137
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: couple of ex vikings during the offseason, notably the trade

138
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: for Stefan Diggs, but also this one one of the

139
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: most jacked men in a league full of them, Daniel Hunter,

140
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: now where in number fifty five for the Houston Texans,

141
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: certainly a huge addition for that defense guided by Damiko

142
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: Ryans and Matt Burke. As we welcome in our Jane

143
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: Slater to the conversation, Jane, we know there's been this

144
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: push for a lot of different teams trying to get

145
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: those bookend type pass rushers. The Texans already had Will

146
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Anderson Junior, a guy they're really excited about. Now, they

147
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: had Danil Hunter on effectively a fully guaranteed two year deal.

148
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: How do they expect that that combination is going to

149
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: impact that defense and they try to make another playoff

150
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: push here in twenty twenty four, Well, Tom, I.

151
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 5: Mean you laid out some of the points there as

152
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 5: could make a huge impact. When I look at this

153
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 5: AFC South, I see an opportunity here when you look

154
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 5: at all the young quarterbacks, I mean Trevor Lawrence and

155
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 5: Jacksonville to get after Anthony Richardson with the Colts and

156
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 5: Will Levis in Tennessee. I mean, you already have your

157
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 5: defensive rookie of the year. And Will Anderson Junior, a

158
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 5: guy that I'm told has been in the building since February,

159
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: has such a great work ethic. He's been making the

160
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: rounds on all the offseason shows talking about this edition

161
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: of Daniel Hunter, who by the way, four time pro

162
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: bowler eighty seven and a half sacks in his career,

163
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 5: that he's ready to.

164
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: Go to war with them and recavoc with them.

165
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: Pair of that with a guy like Jamiko Ryans and

166
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: this be something to really keep an eye on already

167
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 5: a defense that kind of caught our eyed last season.

168
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 5: But to your point, two absolute guys that could be

169
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 5: game wreckers here for Houston.

170
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: Flip side, Houston's done a lot to try to put

171
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: weapons around their young quarterback in CJ. Stroud, drafted the

172
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: course Tank Dell last year. They just resigned Nico Collins.

173
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: They make the big trade for Stefon Diggs. All of

174
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: that to buie guy in CJ. Stroud, who won the

175
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year well deserved a something that not

176
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot of rookie quarterbacks have done in year one.

177
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: And credit the Kendall in research for putting together this born.

178
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: These are rookie quarterbacks to win a playoff game as

179
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: the starter since nineteen fifty. You got the Roethlisberger's, you

180
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: got the Flaccos of the world. You've got TJ. Yeats

181
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: who's on that list, brock Perty. Of course, Russell Wilson

182
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: the following year went on to win a Super Bowl,

183
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: so did Roethlisberger. Those are the only two guys to

184
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: take that big type of a step forward here, So Bucky,

185
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: as you look at CJ. Stroud, what he did as

186
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: a rookie now into year two with one of the

187
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: best arsenals in the higher NFL, what are your expectations.

188
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: I expect CJ. Stroud to go from good to great

189
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: this year.

190
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: He was already fantastic as a rookie for the Houston Texans.

191
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: I think he becomes even more apparent that he is

192
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 4: going to take his game up to the next level.

193
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 4: Stefan Dick's coming over giving the Texans a true number one,

194
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: even though he may not have to play that role

195
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 4: because Nico Collins and Tangdale are terrific the running game,

196
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon will help him, not only because he can

197
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 4: punish people between the tackles, but he also can catch

198
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 4: the ball out the backfield.

199
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: As CJ.

200
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: Stroud matures and he begins to utilize more options in

201
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 4: this offense, it's all about an elite player playing consistently.

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 3: If he consistently plays.

203
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: At that high level that we saw for most of

204
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 4: last season, the Houston Texas is going to be a

205
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 4: feared team in the AFC, and I think there are

206
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: a lot of people that are excited to see what

207
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: this offense can look like.

208
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: With c J. Stroud taking another step in his development.

209
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: Our inside training camp coverage kicks off July twenty seven

210
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: of It Back Together weekend right here on NFL Network. Jane,

211
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: I remember you and I were together during ITC a

212
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: year ago. Down in he We saw a lot of

213
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: different stuff. We saw a team we didn't know it

214
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: was going to be as good as they were. But

215
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: I remember watching Damian Pierce walk onto the field and

216
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: I said to you, that doesn't even look like Damian Pierce.

217
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: He had slimmed down. He had kind of changed his body.

218
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: It didn't end up working out the way that Pierce

219
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: or the Texans had wanted to. Now he got a

220
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: new running mate in that backfield with Joe Mixon arriving.

221
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: How do you imagine that dynamic is going to play out.

222
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 5: Well, look, if he could get back his confidence and

223
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 5: his decisiveness that we saw back in twenty twenty one,

224
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 5: I mean or twenty twenty two, rather, this could be

225
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 5: really really special for him. To your point, they went

226
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: out and they got Joe Mixon to come in here,

227
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 5: and I think the biggest thing is, you know you guys.

228
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: Were just talking about it gives CJ. Stroud some options.

229
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: They didn't really have options in the running game. I mean,

230
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 5: we just saw that bottom graphic there. They were tied

231
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: for twenty second and rushing yards per game. And Bobby

232
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 5: Slowik has an offense that really likes to stretch things

233
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: out wide.

234
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: In the defense.

235
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: So I think the big thing is Mixin is going

236
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 5: to have to get more comfortable with that, and they

237
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 5: really need that confident, decisive player, the guy that was

238
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 5: averaging four yards per game two years ago to return.

239
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 5: If you can do that, then I think they've got something.

240
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 5: And you know, talking to people inside the building, they said,

241
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 5: one person said to me, look, you've got to have

242
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 5: two backs to be good in this league, and they

243
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 5: truly think they have that right now. Obviously they went

244
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 5: out and they also got a rookie running back. We'll

245
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 5: have to see how the rookies shake out here at camp.

246
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: But the real hope is that you get a one

247
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 5: two pint show with Damian Pearson and mix In.

248
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: Jane, Thank you very much, look forward to chatting with

249
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: you again soon. We mentioned fifty days until the regular

250
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: season opener, how about fifteen days until the preseason opener.

251
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: It is the tech since you probably won't see c. J. Straw,

252
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: but you'll see a lot of those other young players

253
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: out there on the field going up against the Chicago Bears,

254
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: who have they.

255
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: Hope the next CJ.

256
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: Strow, the next superstar young quarterback in the league, Caleb Williams. Well,

257
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: after some language bumps over the last twenty four hours,

258
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: everything got signed and sealed approved by the NFL, officially

259
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: signing his rookie contract earlier today. He was one of

260
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: six quarterback's taken in the first twelve picks of the

261
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: draft back in April. Bo Nicks another one of those

262
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos, a guy that they certainly have

263
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: high hopes for in Denver.

264
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 4: We're the twelve pick in the twenty twenty four NFL Draft,

265
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: the Denver Broncos select Bo Knicks quarterback.

266
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 3: Morgans.

267
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: Welcome in our Omar Ruiz, now to the conversation. There's

268
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: not a great deal of clarity at this point, Omar,

269
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: about the quarterback situation in terms of them actually naming

270
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Not that Sean Payton is ever in a

271
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: much of a hurry to say anything publicly. You've talked

272
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: to people in Denver. What are your impressions of what

273
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos think that they've got in Bonicks.

274
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 6: Well, it's been nothing but rave reviews Tom and speaking

275
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 6: with multiple people throughout the organization at different junctures of

276
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 6: the off season. Not only has bo Nicks met all

277
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 6: the expectations that they would have for him bring him

278
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 6: in as the twelfth overall pick, but he's exceeded them

279
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 6: the maturity that they would expect a player who came

280
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 6: in with sixty one college starts to have. They see

281
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 6: that offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi saying that he rarely makes

282
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 6: the same mistake twice, how he carries himself as a leader,

283
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 6: not necessarily with his words, but just the maturity to

284
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 6: handle himself in the quarterback room. Sean Payton, like you said,

285
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 6: not really indicating how they're going to handle training camp

286
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 6: with a depth chart and divvy up reps with Jarrett

287
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 6: Stidham and Zach Wilson also in the mix. But I

288
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 6: asked one Broncos source, are they rooting for Boenicks to

289
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 6: win that job given the resources they put into him

290
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 6: as that number twelve overall pick. And the answer I

291
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 6: got was they want the quarterback that gives them the

292
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 6: best chance to win to win that job. But certainly

293
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 6: we understand the dynamics of the NFL. If you can

294
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 6: have a rookie quarterback, or certainly a quarterback become your

295
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 6: star quarterback with that rookie pay scale obviously goes a

296
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 6: long way to team building and ultimately success these days

297
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 6: in the NFL, when.

298
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: They got three budget type quarterbacks right now on the

299
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: roster of the rookie first round pick and then Stidham,

300
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: who they did give some money to last year, but

301
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: it's solid backup contract, and then Zach Wilson, who the

302
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: Jets are playing half his money Bucky. I think back

303
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: to before the draft and the number of coaches, scouts,

304
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: executives who had watched all these quarterbacks and told me

305
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: Boonex is clearly Sean Payton's guy. He's a coaches kid,

306
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: he started a ton of games, can do exactly what

307
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: Peyton wants him. Well, let's be honest, what are the

308
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: chances if any of the bo Nix is not the

309
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: Broncos starting quarterback come Week one?

310
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: Look, he's going to be the starting quarterback for the

311
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 4: Broncos boring injury, and he's the perfect quarterback for Sean

312
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 4: Payton and his system. If you go back, he just

313
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 4: caught cross Reference bow Knicks' game and the way that

314
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 4: Drew Bilee Breeze played.

315
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: For the New Orleans Saints. You can see a lot

316
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: of parallels.

317
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 4: Not calling bow Knicks a future Hall of Famer, but

318
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: what I am saying is his experience over sixty games

319
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: in college as a starter, quick rhythm through it, with

320
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: the athleticism and the arm chanlel to beat you a

321
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 4: few different ways. And he's a high AC player. You

322
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 4: talked about his dad being a coach. He understands how

323
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: to play the game. He can manage it. And just

324
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: understand this when it comes to Sean Payton, he wants

325
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: nothing more than a quarterback that could be his joystick

326
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: as he's playing the video game against these defensive coordinators.

327
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: Bow Knicks is going to execute the offense as scripted.

328
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: That's exactly what Sean Payton is looking for. And bow

329
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 4: Knicks gives you a little added dimission with the athleticism

330
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 4: to kind of change the game a little bit.

331
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Of course, Russell Wilson the start of the last two

332
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: years now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that's

333
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: not all om a in terms of the veterans who

334
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: aren't back with this team. They trade away Jerry Judy,

335
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons is no longer there. The one guy who's

336
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: always sounded and nobody virtually is untouchable in the NFL,

337
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: but mostly untouchable is Pat Sertan.

338
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: What are they.

339
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: Expecting and hoping that they get from one of the

340
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: bright young cornerbacks in the NFL.

341
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, we already know he's one of the best players

342
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 6: in the NFL, So heading into year four, they're looking

343
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 6: at get a little more in the leadership department from him.

344
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 6: They've talked about the Denver Broncos continuity this season, voting

345
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 6: well for their success. Remember twenty one, it was Vic Fangio,

346
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 6: then Nathaniel Hackett in twenty two, and of course Sean

347
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 6: Payton's first year last season, not to mention the ownership change. Well,

348
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 6: now they have a new member of the coaching staff

349
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 6: here in Jim Leonard, longtime veteran safety now the defensive

350
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 6: backs coach pass game coordinator. He says he wants to

351
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 6: learn or get to know Pat Sertan and how he

352
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 6: can impact the defense, how he can impact the dB room,

353
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 6: how he can impact the team with his voice that

354
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 6: doesn't have to give speeches all the time. He can

355
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 6: have one on one conversations and that can go a

356
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 6: long way. So as good as he's been early in

357
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 6: his career on the field, hoping to get more from

358
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 6: him in the locker room, on and off the field

359
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 6: with that leadership style for that Broncos defense. And I

360
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 6: got to say that we're not even out at training

361
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: camp and we're already doing the matching polos.

Speaker 3: My guy Bucky with that good.

363
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: So don't do it. We're told, don't do the matching polos.

364
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,760

00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,200

390
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: As we welcome back in Omar, Owize Bucky Brooks. I

391
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: am Tom Pellicero here on The Insiders.

392
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: Omar.

393
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: We had Mike McDonald on right at the tail end

394
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: of mini camp and ask them of Byron Murphy. He

395
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: kind of tempered it with, well, we haven't been in

396
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: pads yet we haven't seen him, but to use that

397
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: type of capital at that position, with Mike McDonald's defensive background,

398
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: I have to think the expectations the vision for Byron

399
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: Murphy include big things in Seattle.

400
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're very excited for Byron Murphy, second defensive player

401
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 6: taking off the board in this year's draft and talking

402
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 6: to people inside the building, the speed, the power of

403
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 6: the lets all on display, his ability to win up

404
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 6: the field, and they're really excited tom about his ability

405
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 6: to compliment what they got last year in Jaron Reed

406
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 6: and Leonard Williams and Draymond Jones can maybe perhaps play

407
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 6: a little more naturally at his position, and this deep,

408
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 6: this talented defensive front will help the entire defense, including

409
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 6: a new look linebacker unit. Of course, Bobby Wagner is out,

410
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 6: Jordan Brooks is out, Jerome Baker, and Tyrrell Dodson. In

411
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 6: Jerome Baker with that speed and athleticism, they'll be able

412
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 6: to utilize that in the run game, in the past

413
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 6: game in Tarrell Dodson really a smart player. He's worn

414
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 6: the green dot before with Leslie Frazier in Buffalo, who's

415
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 6: now part of the staff. They're in Seattle of course

416
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 6: you have the young secondary there with Devin Witherspoon and

417
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 6: Tariq Woolan looking to complement those safeties. There so a

418
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 6: lot of excitement with Mike McDonald, as you mentioned, but

419
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 6: that Byron Murphy to get him going. The same caveat

420
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 6: that you heard from Mike McDonald is the same caveat

421
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 6: that I got.

422
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: They're looking forward to seeing what he does in pads

423
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 3: when tre and Camp begins.

424
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that offensive line that Seahawks has. Such

425
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: a good draft back in twenty twenty two. Last year, Bucky,

426
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: they had a ton of different injuries to that unit.

427
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: It certainly impacted everything that they were doing offensively. What

428
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: can a healthy offensive line do for Gino Smith in

429
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

430
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: Well, it can help him out a lot.

431
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 4: It can help him out first by allowing them to

432
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 4: run the football, because no matter what, you don't want

433
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 4: Geno Smith throwing the ball forty times a game.

434
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: You want to run the ball so you can control it.

435
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 4: When you look at the other teams in the division,

436
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 4: they are all successful because they're able to run the ball,

437
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 4: impose they will and dictate the terms to the defense.

438
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 4: The Seattle Seahawks have been at their best when they've

439
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 4: operated like that with Gino Smith, even though he's been

440
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 4: a Pro Bowl player up in the Pacific Northwest, they

441
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: still want to have the running game to kind of

442
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 4: act as debates allow him to push the ball down

443
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 4: the field all play action, but you don't want to

444
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: hang too much on Gino Smith run the football and

445
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 4: then it'll be a compliment to the running game by

446
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: being a dynamic passer pushing the ball down the field

447
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: on vertical throw.

448
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 6: And I think the outside narrative is that this is

449
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 6: a bounce back year for Gino Smith given the Comeback

450
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 6: Player of the Year award he had in twenty twenty two,

451
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 6: a little bit of a down year statistically in twenty

452
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 6: twenty three, but they feel when that offensive line was

453
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 6: at its healthiest, and it never really was healthy all season.

454
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 6: You mentioned the Abe Lucas Charles Cross, you know, being

455
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 6: banged up throughout the year. But when they get back healthy,

456
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 6: when Gino Smith is protected, they have a young but

457
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 6: talented interior. They feel that Gino Smith still played well

458
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 6: in twenty three and obviously will look to build on

459
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 6: that with all those weapons and of course new offensive

460
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 6: coordinator Ryan Grubb, who specialized in exposing every blade of

461
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 6: grass when he was at the University of Washington, utilizing

462
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 6: that triumphant of receivers that he had there with the Husk.

463
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 3: He's looking to do the same in Seattle.

464
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 6: But the confidence fully there with Geno Smith to have

465
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 6: another big year. If that offensive line can stay healthy

466
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 6: and protect him, all those weapons will be utilized. And

467
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 6: you mentioned the running game of big component to that

468
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 6: offense as well.

469
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: Omar, Thank you very much, Bucky stick around. You got

470
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: a lot more to unpack here on this edition of

471
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: The Insiders, including some revealing remarks and footage behind the

472
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: scenes of the Giants as their star running back Saquon

473
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: Barkley made his way to the rival Eagles.

474
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: What do we make of all of it? We'll talk

475
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: about it next.

476
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: If your eyes, Giants fans, you're gonna be seeing a

477
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: lot of this through the course of at least the

478
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: next couple months leading up to the season. This is

479
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley. Now we're in that twenty six in Eagles colors.

480
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: Last night on Hard Knocks, we saw how everything unfolded

481
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: in free agency and the moment at which it became

482
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: clear to Giants owner John Marra that one of his

483
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: favorite players might be walking out the door.

484
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: What's the latest the I just got a text that

485
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 4: Chicago's driving the price up and Philly's out.

486
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's true or not. I don't

487
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 7: know if I'll make a couple of calls. I don't

488
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 7: even know if that's gonna gonna happen. But I have

489
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 7: a tough time sleep benefit and in quand goes the Philadelpe.

490
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 7: The outside of that, as I've told you, just being hopes.

491
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 7: I had been around enough players on me, but he's

492
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 7: the he's the most popular player we have by far.

493
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome back to the insiders. Tom Pillacero here with

494
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. First of all, my initial reaction Bucky to

495
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: that was whatever media members sent Joe Shane that text

496
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: that the Bears who signed DeAndre Swift like six minutes

497
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: into free agency were driving up the price and the

498
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: Eagles were out, That numbers should be blocked on Joe

499
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: Shane's phone. Yes, that's self serving to me. I got

500
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: a few guesses who might have sent that text. We're

501
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna leave it right there. But the second piecement, I

502
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: think that this show has been a phenomenal. Look the

503
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: best I've ever seen at behind the scenes and what

504
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: happens in front offices at this time of year. As

505
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: you watch this thing unfold, knowing the context of how

506
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: things played out with Saquon Barkle, what was your reaction?

507
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: This is gonna be interesting, an interesting season for the

508
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: Giants when you just think about all of the conversation

509
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 4: as it relates to Saquon Barkley. Look, I think Joe

510
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 4: Shane has a philosophy that they don't want to pay

511
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 4: odin running backs.

512
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: Twenty seven is the magic number and he wanted to

513
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: stick to that.

514
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 4: I think what's hard is when you have an owner

515
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 4: that really adore Saquon Barkley. He talked about him being

516
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 4: the most popular Giant and how he was going to

517
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 4: pain him if he made his way to Philadelphia. Well,

518
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 4: now you got to see Saquon Barkley twice. The bigger

519
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 4: thing will be can Daniel Jones make it all go away?

520
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: Because if Daniel Jones plays great and this team plays

521
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: better than many expecting, the offense is humming because Daniel

522
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 4: Jones is doing this thing. Then the loss of Saquon

523
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: Barkley won't be a big deal. But if Daniel Jones

524
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 4: struggle and this offense cannot score points, everyone is going

525
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 4: to wonder why did you let your best offensive player go.

526
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: It's one of those things that we won't know what

527
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 4: happens until it plays out. But man, there are a

528
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 4: lot of people with I would say, quizzical looks when

529
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 4: it come to Saquon Barkley leaving the New York Giants.

530
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: I like your answer and the little wheel of fortune

531
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: thing we got going here was interesting because that can

532
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: mean a whole lot of things that people watching us

533
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: in a bar at happy hour on metors going interesting,

534
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: and that means good interesting or bad interesting here Bucky, Oh, look,

535
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: it can go either.

536
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: Way, but I think potentially it could be bad.

537
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 4: And the only reason why is Saquon Barkley has been

538
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 4: such a big part of the Giants offense for so long.

539
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 4: Most explosive player, most dynamic player, most consistent player. So

540
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 4: when you remove him from the offensive puzzle, and yes,

541
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: you bring Singletary over from the Houston Texans.

542
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: To replace that, but it's different.

543
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 4: Defensive coordinators had the game plan for Saquon Barkley, you

544
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 4: had to drop an extra defend in the box. You

545
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 4: had to worry about him in the screen game and

546
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 4: as a receiver out of the backfield. When you don't

547
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 4: have a true number one, maybe elite neighbors will be

548
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 4: everything that we think he can be. But when you

549
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 4: don't have that weapon on offense, it just puts so

550
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 4: much pressure on the quarterback.

551
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 3: So this is really on Daniel Jones.

552
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: He has to play at a level that look is

553
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 4: equal to the pay that he's making puts him in

554
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 4: the top ten. He has to play like that kind

555
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: of quarterback for this offense to go. He hasn't done

556
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 4: it to date, but he's going to have to do

557
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 4: it if the Jazz is gonna be a competitive team

558
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 4: this year.

559
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: Another thing I think that is instructive about hard knocks

560
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: for people who just kind of wonder our roster building works, Bucky,

561
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: is the fact that it's not a matter of well,

562
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: you took Singletary over Saquon, No, it's that you took

563
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary plus one of those offensive linemen you signed.

564
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: This is a salary cap league. There's different things you

565
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: can do, but every dollar you spend hits the cap eventually.

566
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Something that also pertains to the San Francisco forty nine Ers, who,

567
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: of course are going through a situation right now with

568
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk. He wants a new contract. The forty nine

569
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: Ers have been trying to get something done. The sides

570
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: are not on the same page. I was hosting the

571
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen Show yesterday when this happened. Meanwhile, news right now,

572
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: literally as we're getting ready to bring on Diamodoor Lenor

573
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: from my colleague A Network Mike Garrafolo forty nine Ers

574
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: all Pro wide receiver Brandon Ayuk has officially requested a

575
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: trade after an off season of unsuccessful attempts to reach

576
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: an extension.

577
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: Uh, good time to bring on d'abador Lados right into it.

578
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: Man, I'm telling you Deavadors was not a setup. Okay,

579
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: this this literally hit as I'm as I'm getting you

580
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: up on the zoom call here, man, yeah, fourteen ago.

581
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, this gonna be true. This is this is

582
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: the truth.

583
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: Despite a recent meeting, the Niners haven't been willing to

584
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: engage in negotiations since May so Ayuk has respectfully asked out, now,

585
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to put you on the spot to

586
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: speak for your teammate. Here diabador. But you've you've watched

587
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: him play the past few years, you've guarded him in

588
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: training camp. How important is that guy to your team?

589
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: How is important is it to figure a way to

590
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: work this thing out?

591
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 8: Uh, He's extremely important to our offense. You know, the

592
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 8: stuff he can do, the amount of targets he had

593
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 8: in a production. You know, it is kind of sakend

594
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 8: to none. So with just hearing that news is kind

595
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 8: of crazy.

596
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: Yamadoor Lenor and Brandon Ayuk bucket, as we found out

597
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: later in that interview, are very close. He was getting

598
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: emotional about it. Shout out to d'amadoor Lenor for answering

599
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: the questions and giving me a pretty honest answer in

600
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: a really difficult setting, because that was seconds before he

601
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: was coming on the show. We know how this has

602
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: played out here with Brandon Ayuk looking from a far Bucky,

603
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: knowing the context of the wide receiver market, how do

604
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: you see this playing out and what do you think

605
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk.

606
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: Is worth in the twenty twenty four NFL.

607
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: Well, look, Brandon Ayuk is a top receiver in this league.

608
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: He's a dominant player. We saw the numbers that you

609
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 4: put up last year he was their number one receiver.

610
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 4: In spite of what Deebo Samuel brings to them as

611
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: they do it all playmaker, Brandon Ayuk is the best

612
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 4: receiver that the Niners have, and as we watched his

613
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: team struggle into Super Bowl because they couldn't win consistently

614
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: against man coverage, I believe that there's going to be

615
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 4: a premium for Kyle Shanahan to make sure he has

616
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: proven route runners on the perimeter. Brandon Ayuk is one

617
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 4: of those guys when you think about him and Ricky

618
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 4: Piersol and what they can do collectively to make the

619
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: game easy for Brock Purdy, you want to keep them

620
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: in the fold.

621
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: The problem that you have is you.

622
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 4: Spend a lot of money in the off season. Christian McCaffrey,

623
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: some of the other guys have gotten paid. So what

624
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 4: you want to do is slow play this and maybe

625
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 4: get Brandon Aiyuk his money, maybe not this year, but

626
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 4: next year. Brandon Ayuk wants.

627
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: No part of that. He wants to get paid. He

628
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: wants to get paid right away.

629
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 4: But he doesn't have any leverage because based on the

630
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: way the Collective Bargaining Agreement is set up, the players

631
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 4: get penalized for holding out.

632
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: This is a situation where.

633
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: It really depends on this to forty nine ers want

634
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: to play hardball, because if they play hardball, hardball, brandan

635
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: and Ayuk doesn't have any options. He has to come in,

636
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 4: he has to play. He may be this gruntal, but

637
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 4: he cannot force his way out of San Francisco at

638
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 4: this time.

639
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: And from everything I've been told, the forty and iris

640
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: edition has not changed, which is one way or another.

641
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: They expect Brandon Ayuk to be a contributor on their

642
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: team and they try to win a super Bowl in

643
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. All right, stick around here, Bucky, because

644
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: after this, I'm excited. We've got your NFL award long shots.

645
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: Who could we see when could somebody in Dallas be

646
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: a surprise? We'll talk about it on the inside.

647
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of he says, She says, backlash

648
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: in Baltimore.

649
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 9: No Biden requested a trade handscratching going.

650
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 3: On a brand new contract extension.

651
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 9: It's a lot of flock going. That's cool, that's cool,

652
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 9: stepped up fires put that's the X factor.

653
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 3: How far you gotta get grown?

654
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 8: Man?

655
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: If you can't hunter business still on his feet. Hunter

656
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: of business, what a play Hunter business? That is, Vince.

657
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: It's Lamar Jackson. I know who the MVP is, Lamar Jackson.

658
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: I really want to fuse my coread hair and win

659
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Here they'll get He's soon going out

660
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: of me, lead out.

661
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: And that is the last piece of business for Lamar

662
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: Jackson to handle, bringing that Lombardi Trophy to Baltimore. Welcome

663
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: back to the Insiders. Tom Pellasaro here with Bucky Brooks,

664
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: who is going to give us some long shots. We

665
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: hear the same names, right, Bucky all the time for

666
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: the various words. I want to hear your potential sleepers.

667
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: Let's start out with NFL MVP for twenty twenty four.

668
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: However, we go to Bowtown, Jared Goff being the MVP.

669
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: When you look at what Jared Goff has done the

670
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 4: last two years, he's been sensational running this offense that

671
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson has put together. It should continue this year

672
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: as it gets more comfortable with Tomorrow, ros Saint Brown,

673
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 4: Sam Laporter, Jameson Williams and then the guys behind him

674
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 4: in the backfield. You think about David Montgomery and then

675
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 4: being able to run it with Jamiir Gibbs love. What

676
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: they have is really sets up Jared Golf to put

677
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 4: up big numbers. All he has to do is a

678
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: pass first point guard. He's done it splendidly the past

679
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: two years. I expected to continue this year.

680
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Offensive Player of the Year.

681
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: Give me a potential long shot winner of that award.

682
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: Bucky.

683
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: Mister Marray's going to be so sick when he sees

684
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley when the Offensive Player of the Year award.

685
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: It pained him to watch him go to the other side,

686
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: to go from the Giants to the Eagles. And so

687
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: now you have a motivated Saquon Barkley joining the best

688
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 3: offensive line in football with weapons galore on the perimeter.

689
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: He's never seen this much room since he entered the

690
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: National Football League. He's gonna put up.

691
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 4: Ridiculous numbers at a runner and just remember, he can

692
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: catch the ball out of the backfield. He is going

693
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: to make life so much easier for Jalen Hurst. Look

694
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 4: for him to get a little hardware at the end

695
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 4: of the year.

696
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year for the first time in

697
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: like a decade. Aaron Donald won't be the favorite long

698
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: shot in your mind, Defensive Player of the Year for

699
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Bucks.

700
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go down to do ball.

701
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 4: Josh Heinz Allen being able to snag that Defensive Player

702
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 4: of the Year award. Part of the reason is he's

703
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 4: coming off a season where he had seventeen and a

704
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 4: half sacks in a contract year, and he did it

705
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 4: really without a strong presence on the inside. They bring

706
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 4: over Aeron Armstead, Trayvon Walker takes another step in his development.

707
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 4: That means more opportunities for Josh Haines Allen to get

708
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 4: after it. Love the motor, love the dynamic playmaking ability.

709
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 4: This might be the year that he's finally recognized as

710
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 4: one of those elite pass rushers.

711
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: In the league.

712
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to call that one a homer pick from

713
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks snowed Jaguars fanatic. How about our let's go

714
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: to the rookies now offensive rookie. It's so often is

715
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback award, but how about this time Bucky a

716
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver, maybe somebody with an infinity for puffy jackets

717
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: from Macy's. Maybe a guy who played basketball Michigan State.

718
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: Is that bringing any bells and maybe that's a long

719
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: shot winner.

720
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 3: It does. He's been one of the big personalities that

721
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: we celebrated this offseason. Keon Coleman. We finally are going

722
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: to have an opportunity to appreciate his game when you

723
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: watched him at Florida State before he ran a pedestrian

724
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: time at the COMMA. We're talking about this guy being

725
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: a top fifteen wide receiver playmaker. Galore wins the fifty

726
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: to fifty balls, does great job of making really expanding

727
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: the strike zone for the quarterback.

728
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 4: In Buffalo, he has a chance to step in right

729
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: away as a number one receiver, and even though they're

730
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 4: running more twelve personnel with two tight ends on the field,

731
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 4: one on one opportunities down in the red zone, Josh

732
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 4: Allen is going to give him a chance to go

733
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 4: get it. Look for him to catch a lot of

734
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 4: alley upes down in the paint.

735
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: Now, how well, let's go to the defensive side. Now,

736
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: Defensive Rookie of the Year long shot for twenty twenty four.

737
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 3: Bucky Man. Some teams just are lucky.

738
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 4: They find players that just fit their culture, and that

739
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 4: is Peyton Wilson for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I know

740
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 4: they signed Patrick Queen. Patrick Queen is set up to

741
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 4: be the monster in the middle for the Steelers. But

742
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 4: Peyton Wilson has everything that you look for at that position, instincts, awareness, toughness,

743
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 4: He can blitz off the edge, he can play in coverage,

744
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 4: and he has that nastiness that kind of fits the brand.

745
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 4: Peyton Wilson's gonna have a lot of opportunities. He's gonna

746
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 4: have some Markie games where people can fall in love

747
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 4: with his game and his playing style. Look for him

748
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 4: to kind of be a backdoor candidate to win that

749
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 4: defensive Rookie of the Year award.

750
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: Comeback Player of the Year has been kind of this

751
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: nebulous formula. Last year was Joe Flacco who came back

752
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: all the way from the couch, I guess and won

753
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: the award. Now they've clarified the ap of what the

754
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: criteria is. You have to come back from something like

755
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: being injured. Who's a long shot to win that award

756
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: for you, Bucky?

757
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 3: How about they go back to back in the dog Pound.

758
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 4: How about de Sean Watson wins the Comeback Player of

759
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 4: the Year award after having the injury watching Joe Flacco

760
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 4: win the award. Deshaun Watson comes right back and does

761
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 4: it in.

762
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 3: The dog Pound. This is a great opportunity for Deshaun

763
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: Watson to really set his career back on track.

764
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 4: This was a three time Pro bowler. Ken Dorsey comes

765
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 4: over to change the offense. Kevin Stefanski stells back. They

766
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 4: find a way to make the offense more quarterback friendly

767
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 4: for the Sean Watson. The weapons are there. Now it's

768
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 4: about Deshaun Watson playing up to the standard. This is

769
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 4: a year he plays up to the standard in the

770
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 4: dog Pound.

771
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: Last one, now, Bucky. Coach of the Year is always

772
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of a tricky award to predict because a lot

773
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: of times it's just the first year coach who makes

774
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: the instant impact, regardless of whether that's so that has

775
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: any staying power. Who's a long shot to win Coach

776
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: of the Year award in twenty twenty four, Tom.

777
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make a lot of Cowboys fans mad because

778
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 4: they do not like what Mike McCarthy has been able

779
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 4: to do in the postseason. But I would say he's

780
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 4: gonna be Coach of the Year at the end of

781
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 4: the season. Three straight years the Cowboys have won twelve

782
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 4: or more games. Now they're having to do it with

783
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 4: I would say a depleted roster.

784
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 3: Questions abound about whether Mike McCarthy's coming back. Will Dak

785
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 3: Prescott be the quarterback going forward.

786
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 4: If Mike McCarthy's able to pour this off where they

787
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 4: win double digit wins again, maybe they sneak and win

788
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 4: the division.

789
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 3: He wins twelve games, you have to slide the award

790
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 3: over to them.

791
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 4: He has been able to do it in difficult circumstances,

792
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 4: all eyes on him for every decision. If the Cowboys

793
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 4: win again, you got to credit Mike McCarthy, and you

794
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: also have to begin to talk about him being one

795
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 4: of the best coaches that we have in the league.

796
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: With everything that goes into being the head coach in Dallas,

797
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of harder places to say at

798
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: the program to contain everything that's going on around the building.

799
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: McCarthy's done it consistently in the past three years. Bad

800
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: game against the Backers, no doubt about it. In the playoffs.

801
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: McCarthy now going into a contract here. But if I

802
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: know Mike, his attitude is going to be bring it on.

803
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kick everybody's ass and get a contract somewhere

804
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: wherever that ends up being, Bucky, don't move. You're giving

805
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: us all kinds of content today.

Speaker 3: Coming up after this.

807
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: Let's do a scout snowbook on some of the rookies

808
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: to watch in twenty twenty four. Daviel Worthy actually just

809
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: ran through this and you didn't even see them. That's

810
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: what they're open to see in Kansas City stick Around.

811
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: Coming up this month, it's the return of the Top

819
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: next year? Well, the Chiefs rookies have reported Patrick mahomes

820
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: own there's no time to use them in.

821
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: We got to hit the ground running. What do you think, Xavier? Uh? Yeah,

822
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 3: I definitely feel like it's no time to ease in.

823
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it's all go.

824
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 9: I mean, once you hear you're here, so I understand

825
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 9: definitely what Pat saying, just to build that connection with him.

826
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: I mean, it's going to be key here.

827
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: What if Patter shrew with me today?

828
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 5: Or is it that's just that totally?

829
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 3: Na, It wasn't nothing. To just keep going, keep keep

830
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 3: making plays is keep working, That's all it was.

831
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders in a Scouts notebook, Tom

832
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: Pillasero joined once again by Bucky Brooks. Bucky, as you

833
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: look at some of the rookies around the league to watch,

834
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: I got to imagine Xavier Worthy is one that's going

835
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: to be on your list.

836
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: He absolutely is going to be on the list.

837
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 4: And a lot of people are trying to make the

838
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 4: comparison between Xavier Worthy and Tyreek Hiel. But I would

839
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 4: say dig a little deeper in Andy Reid's background and

840
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 4: think about DeShawn Jackson and how he was able to

841
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 4: utilize DeShawn jack and big play playmaker, someone who was

842
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 4: the vertical threat, found the way to push the ball

843
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 4: down the field to really.

844
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: Stretch the defense.

845
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 4: Xavier Worthy will fit that role and it should allow

846
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 4: this offense to open up with Pat Mahomes tossing it deep.

847
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: All these other the wide receivers some of the tight

848
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: ends as well that we're drafted here, give me, give

849
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: me another rookie on that side of the ball. You

850
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: think it's going to be really intriguing to watch his

851
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: camps kickoff here.

852
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 3: Las Vegas Raiders.

853
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 4: Brock Bowers Brock Barwers is considered by some to be

854
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 4: the best player in this draft. The raid is surprisingly

855
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 4: taken even though they had another good tight end in

856
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 4: Michael Maher. When now you talk about playing twelve personnel

857
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 4: two tight ends on the field, even though you have

858
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 4: trying to figure out Garner, Minshew eight and O'Connell. Regardless,

859
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 4: the middle of the field is going to be wide

860
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 4: open because now you got big bodies that can command it.

861
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 4: Brock Bowers is a terrific playmaker, great after the catch,

862
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 4: nice route runner. He has everything that you look for

863
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 4: in one of those premier tight end spots. He should

864
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 4: be a star from day one.

865
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: Took a while in the draft for a defensive player

866
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: to finally come off the board. Who's somebody on that

867
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: side out of the ball of rookie? Do you think

868
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really arresting to watch in camp?

869
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 3: Buck? Number one thing that you look for in scouting.

870
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 3: Fit in scheme?

871
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 4: How does the player fit within a scheme? Layatu Latu

872
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 4: is a perfect fit for the Colts defense. He is

873
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 4: an active and aggressive pass rusher, the most natural pass

874
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 4: rusher that was in the draft class. When you watch

875
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 4: him play, he has all the moves. He can go

876
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 4: inside and outside, has a spin move, but his get off,

877
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: his quickness. He has some rare ability when it comes

878
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 4: to bending and bursting around the corner. I just like

879
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 4: this fit in Gus Bradley's defense where they want to

880
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 4: rush for and really allow their guys to go after it.

881
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: Latsu is a nice fit. Look for him to put

882
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 3: up big numbers right away.

883
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: Bucky, don't move. We've still got a lot more to

884
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: discuss here. On the Insiders, Josh Jacobs has a new

885
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: team in Green Bay let the league in rushing a

886
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. This season could break a record,

887
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: and it's not necessarily one.

888
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 3: He would want. We'll explain next.

889
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: On the Insiders, Packers for porting to training camp over

890
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: the next week.

891
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 8: Here.

892
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: They got a new running back in Josh Jacobs who's

893
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: coming up on bit of an ignominious potential record. He's

894
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: got one hundred and ninety seven career receptions without a touchdown.

895
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: The record he's two one held by Gerald Riggs. Jordan

896
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: Love heard about this stat said I'm not going to

897
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: let that happen. We might even get Jacobs in the

898
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: end zone off a catch in week one. Tom Pilisaro

899
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: back with Bucky Brooks. Josh Jacobs Buck was on this

900
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: show recently and said, Hey, one of the things he's

901
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: really excited about his role is they're going to get

902
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: him out more. They're going to show more as a receiver.

903
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: It's better getting to the end zoner. That's gonna be

904
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: one of those lines that you'd probably rather not have

905
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: on the resume.

906
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 4: He absolutely needs to put the ball into paint as

907
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 4: a receiver. He has great hands. He's terrific in the

908
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 4: screen game. I would have spent Matt Lafleur and Jordan

909
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 4: Love to get the ball in his hands early. He

910
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 4: doesn't want to go down with an infamous record. Find

911
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 4: a way to put him into paint.

912
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: Well, they've got enough backs there too, Bucky. You'll be

913
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: interested seat just how they kind of combine those different

914
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: guys that they've got in the backfield.

915
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 4: Absolutely, but he's the Bill kow. This guy's terrific as

916
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 4: a runner and a receiver. He's a difference maker.

917
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lloyd there, Aj Dillon, Gonna be fun to watch

918
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: that team. Canna be fun to talk to Dion Dawkins.

919
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: Bill's tackle when he joins the show tomorrow. Fifteen days

920
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: the Football, fifteen days to the Hall.

921
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: Of Fame Game. Get excited.

922
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: People, stick with us right here on the Insiders
