1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lambs new running mate with the Cowboys, and his

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: expectations are already high for George Pickens. Here what Lamb

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: and Pickens are saying now from the early returns of

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: Double Trouble in doubts. The Cowboys, like everybody else, are

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: chasing the Eagles, who just locked up another big piece

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: of their Super Bowl run for the long haul? But

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: is there a dynasty in the making under Nick Sirianni

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia? R Mark Ross will tell you what he

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: sees moving forward. YFC East also a good place to

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: find some fantasy phenoms as long as like Sir Jadon

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Daniels are still around. Michael left Floria will be here

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: to tell you who's a draft diamond in that division

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: and who could be a disastrous dud. Welcome inside with

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafolo. I am

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Tom Peliicero. One hundred and eight days away from right now,

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: the NFL will be kicking off the twenty twenty five season.

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Hill then, there's still some money that needs to be

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: thrown around, both for coaches and players. Let's start with

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: the latter out in San Francisco, where the forty nine

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Ers have gotten another big deal done. This time it

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: is their star linebacker Fred Water, locked up on a

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: three year, sixty three million dollar contract extension. Fifty six

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: point seven million of that are guaranteed once again, making

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: Fred Warder the NFL's highest paid linebacker. This course, comes

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: just three days after they locked up Rock Perty had

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: a five year, two hundred and sixty five million dollar deal.

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: They also resigned George Skindell. Poor Kyle Eustek's down there

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: on the bottom two years, eight million. That's nothing to

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: sneeze at here in an offseason where they've moved on

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: for the likes of Deebo Samuel. They continue to pay

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: their core guys. So to the Eagles, who have basically

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: all their core players locked up. And now Nick Sirianni

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: is too. He was headed into the last year of

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: the original deal he signed back in twenty twenty one.

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: Now agree to terms on a multi year contract extension.

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: I want to run.

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: It's been for Nick Sirianni over the past four years,

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: four playoff appearances, two super Bowl appearances, and back in February,

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: Hoiston a Lombardi Trophy. Not bad in for a guy

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: that's so many people right up until like last January,

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: we're still trying to run out of town.

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 3: That is the scariest, craziest thing about this entire situation.

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 3: It's not that Nick Sirianni got a contract extension. We

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: knew this was coming from owner jeffre Leury during the

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 3: annual league meetings essentially told us the deal was close

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: and he thought it would be done. Coach wins the

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: Super Bowl usually that leads to more money. This is

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: ritually deserved for Nick Sirianni. The wild thing though, to

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: go back a year a little more than a year ago,

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: had to replace both coordinators, leading to a season where

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: I think it's fair to say people wondered if he

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: would be on the hot seat. Some people put him

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: on the hot seat. Some people just didn't understand because

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: he's a coach who acts a little differently. Maybe trash

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: talks a little bit, Maybe his press conferences aren't the smoothest.

56
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: Underestimated the kind of leader that he is inside the

57
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: locker room.

58
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: And here's what we've learned.

59
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: But watching the Eagles reach a Super Bowl and then

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl under Nick Sirianni, he communicates with

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: his players as well as anyone. He gets them to

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: compete as well as anyone, and he gets them to

63
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: put their individual statistics aside what is best for the team.

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: And it all has led to unbelievable success for Nick

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: Sirianni and now a very richly deserved contract extension.

66
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

67
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 5: The other thing he does is he manages some tough personalities.

68
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: You can even include the quarterback in that one. Jalen Hurts.

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 5: He has had a great relationship with him and bridge

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 5: the gap between him and some of the offensive coaches

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: the last couple of years. As they coaches, they keep

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: turning over coordinators on both sides of the ball. Kevin

73
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: Patulo now going to be the play caller with Kellen

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: Moore headed elsewhere, and the Eagles confident that there will

75
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 5: be a smooth transition, in large part because of Sirianni,

76
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 5: who is.

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 6: Not a play caller right like I know.

78
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: And by the way, Howie Roseman got an extension recently,

79
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: not part of this one right here.

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 6: How he's getting paid handsomely. Don't you worry about that?

81
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: But the Eagles really believing in Nick Sirianni running the

82
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 5: whole operation, not a play caller, was hired as an

83
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 5: offensive mind, gave up that play calling early, but a

84
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 5: good job of being a head coach. There are coaches

85
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 5: that are on this staff that have been in the

86
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 5: NFL for decades and they tell me that Nick Sirianni

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 5: is the best head coach that they've ever been around,

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: and they've been around some really good ones. So Jeffrey

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 5: Lorie values him, Howie Roseman values in the organization values him,

90
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 5: and they showed it today with this extension that I

91
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 5: finally got done.

92
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: The line everyone kept using was, well, what does he coach?

93
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't coach anything. He coaches the team and that

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: has been a pretty successful formula for the Eagles over

95
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: the past four years. Here it certainly a popular decision

96
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: with the likes of Lane Johnson, who gave the old

97
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: double high five emoji or whatever. That thing is a

98
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: lot of excitement as the Eagles now try to turn

99
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: that into something more.

100
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 6: You look at where right now.

101
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni ranks among the all time leaders in wins

102
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: in the first four seasons as a head coach.

103
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: Of course, George Seffert took over a.

104
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Very very good forty nine Ers team, Nick Siriani right

105
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: there behind him as we bring r. Mark Cross into

106
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: the conversation. Mark I mentioned now the Egle, see if

107
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: they can turn this into something more. They've got a

108
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: really talented team. Would you look at these Eagles from

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,119
Speaker 1: now have their head coach locked in for years to come?

110
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: Do we have the possibility of a dynasty in the

111
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: making in Philadelphia?

112
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 7: Wow?

113
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 8: Dynasty might be a little bit strong a word. Let's say, Tom,

114
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 8: They'll be in the mix to win it every year

115
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 8: because of the talent that they have, the young talent

116
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 8: that they have. You just saw Howie Roseman talked about

117
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 8: his contract extension earlier and the masterful job that he's

118
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 8: done in drafting, in signing free agents, in extending his

119
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 8: own players that he has drafted. But really, when you

120
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 8: talk about dynasties, Tom, the two major ones are the

121
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 8: Patriots with Tom Brady and then the Chiefs, let's say,

122
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 8: with Patrick Mahomes.

123
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 6: So the two Goats.

124
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 8: So I think, really, if you're going to consider them

125
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 8: a dynasty, it's about that guy right there, Aalen Hurts

126
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 8: and how much higher he can take his game and

127
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 8: elevate his game to say, you know what, I am

128
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 8: just as good as Mahomes. I'm as just as good

129
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 8: as Brady and really get into that top four of

130
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 8: right now. Burrow at Jackson and Josh Allen there in

131
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 8: Buffalo to say, yeah, I'm in the mix there because

132
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 8: if all the other talent, Howie Roseman continues to provide

133
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 8: that talent around Jalen, he raises his level. We see

134
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 8: Siriani can coach. They'll be in the mix. Might not

135
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 8: be the Dynasty, but they'll.

136
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 7: Be in the mix.

137
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: Mark stick aroutd a lot more from you to come

138
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: here on this show. Everybody's always been Capedia's NFL players

139
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: for a Super Bowl win? How about a gold medal

140
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: as well? The Spring League meeting kicks off tomorrow. Owner

141
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: is going to be discussing a resolution that would allow

142
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: NFL players to participate in the twenty twenty eight summer

143
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: games that are set to take place in Los Angeles.

144
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Ian There are some things that still need to be

145
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: worked out between the NFL and the NFL Players Association,

146
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: but there has been round enthusiasm about the idea of

147
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: NFL players taking this stage, and it certainly seems like

148
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: we are headed toward announcement tomorrow that this thing's really happening.

149
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that really does seem like the way this is going,

150
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: that seems like the momentum toward getting this thing done,

151
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: getting NFL players to participate in the Olympics playing football.

152
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: I cannot believe these are real sentences that we are saying.

153
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: But this is really where we are, and this is

154
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: where the general feeling from the league is, and it's

155
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: not something that is I would say, is slam dunk.

156
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: As far as as the memos showed us like, there

157
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: are certainly things to discuss. For instance, as of right now,

158
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: would be one player per team, and then you could

159
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: also designate an international player. Well, what if more than

160
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: one player on your team warrant being on a certain team,

161
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: whether it's our country or another one, that would be

162
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: a question. What if a coach says to a player, Hey,

163
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: I know you're allowed to participate, but I'd really really

164
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: like for you not to. How do you deal with

165
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: that then? So there are certainly some things to work out.

166
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: Insurance is going to be handled by the NFL. Medically,

167
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: it's going to be fine, But what if a player

168
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: gets injured? How do you handle There are for sure questions,

169
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 3: But based on the kind of feel that I'm getting

170
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: from talking to people involved in this, it seems there

171
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: is a very good chance we see NFL players and

172
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: what's going to be during training camp playing five football

173
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: in the Olympics.

174
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: Well, the timing seems to work out, at least for

175
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, because my understanding is the tryout process,

176
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: which is going to be run by the individual countries federations,

177
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: that's going to take place in the spring. It's not

178
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: going to run counter to anything that's mandatory in the NFL.

179
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: If you look at the schedule of the summer games,

180
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: it's set to wrap up July thirtieth. My understanding is

181
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: the gold medal game probably is going to take place

182
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: prior to that, and so very little disruption, though still

183
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: again some conversations between the league and union to come up,

184
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: among other things, how long players would need off after

185
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: going through flight football in the Olympics.

186
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 6: That's not the only.

187
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: Thing on the docket, Mike, including several potential changes to

188
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: some things affecting this NFL season.

189
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 5: Yes, the touch push, which was a hot debate at

190
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 5: the owners meetings in Palm Beach the annual meeting back

191
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 5: in March, now potentially going to be voted on. Remember

192
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 5: they tabled this back in March because they started to

193
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 5: get a little bit of support for this. Hey, by

194
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: the way, another reason we just talked about Syria, another

195
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: reason to extend Nick Siriani.

196
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: He and his coaching staff came up with.

197
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 5: A play that's so good they had to call it

198
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 5: a health issue to change it potentially and get it

199
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 5: out of the game, even though there's no data to

200
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 5: back up the fact that there is a health concern

201
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: on this one. But they called it a health issue,

202
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 5: which means at some point you've got to address it.

203
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 5: Otherwise later on somebody gets hurt and you said you

204
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 5: knew it was a health This union didn't take it

205
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 5: out of.

206
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 6: The game, So we expect to vote here.

207
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: Some of us don't agree with the logic that's been

208
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 5: presented to this point, and others are people You guys

209
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 5: are Meanwhile, I thought that's not your que Meanwhile, the

210
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 5: playoffs seating is going to be discussed as well.

211
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 6: The Detroit Lions.

212
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 5: This was also table to that you see it in

213
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 5: the playoffs by record solely, and not by who wins.

214
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 6: A division or not of the division would be a tiebreaker.

215
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 5: This was a bit of a surprise that it got

216
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: so much support because it's been presented in the past,

217
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 5: didn't have as much support this time, so it's coming

218
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 5: up once again. Could potentially be a change that's made

219
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 5: so the Vikings who were knocked down to a wild

220
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: card spot would be higher in the twenty twenty four

221
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 5: order if something like that happens again, And it would

222
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 5: also create some competition late in the season instead of

223
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 5: teams resting even if they won their division, potentially playing

224
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 5: and keeping those games competitive. Ian, I'll give you the

225
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 5: floor if you want to give a retort to the

226
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 5: touch push since I put you on the spot your.

227
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: Call, yeah, I'll give you a really quick retort. Definitely

228
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: going to cause an injury. Not really a football play banning.

229
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: It makes a lot of sense.

230
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: Go team Gum.

231
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: One of the interesting things too, besides the fact we

232
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: normally don't get football rule changes in May, those generally

233
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: take place in March with the football people are in

234
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: the room.

235
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: Well.

236
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Also, these are team proposals, so the teams control the

237
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: modified language. The NFL and the teams have not seen

238
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: what the Packers the Lions are going to bring forward.

239
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: That's going to take place most likely tomorrow afternoon. Also

240
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: look for potential changes to the on sidekick minor stuff,

241
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: tweaking the alignment, allowing teams potentially to declare anytime they're trailing,

242
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: not just in the fourth quarter. Only six percent was

243
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: converted last season, and on side kicks, they'd like to

244
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: get that number up just a little bit. Meanwhile, we've

245
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: got rookies and veterans getting onto the field around the NFL,

246
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: and one rather prominent rookie signed his rookie contract earlier today.

247
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: Sheduor Sanders, the fifth round pick by the Browns, sign

248
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: a four year, four point six million dollars deal. His

249
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: signing bonus four hundred and forty seven three and eighty

250
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: dollars to be exact. Marves and Harrison Junior was going

251
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: through his rookie contract situation a year ago at this time.

252
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: Went through that rookie year put.

253
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,239
Speaker 1: Up some numbers that might seem a little bit underwhelming

254
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: for the first receiver off the board in a very

255
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: talented receiver group. Erison going into year two now has

256
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: made some changes, including buken up.

257
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 9: I definitely put on some pounds.

258
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 10: I think I had some muscles to my body A

259
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 10: little bit still just trying to see my body, uh,

260
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 10: you know, feels throughout OTAs and without training camp, more

261
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 10: so throughout OTAs and then kind of get a specific

262
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 10: way to settle in for training camp to go from there.

263
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: Derek Henry got a new contract two years and thirty

264
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: million dollars on that extension, twenty five fully guaranteed over

265
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: this season and next. He talked today about why he

266
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: signed that deal, which includes the guy who's been playing

267
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: with at quarterback.

268
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 11: Well, he's just so dynamic and you got to count

269
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 11: from every single play and I are going to be

270
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 11: on him just you know about a player he is

271
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 11: with his arm and with his legs, and for me,

272
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 11: that makes me happy. So you know, I get more opportunities,

273
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 11: and you know, you know, they got to account for

274
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 11: for him. It's just as much as they account for me.

275
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 6: Super Bowls fifty nine. Here we go, homes rolling out, looking, firing, intertercepting,

276
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 6: picked up a cooper, Desine, gets a bomb. Digine is

277
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 6: and touch down, holds his back, he fires over the

278
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 6: middle of the center, cepting the gun. The intercept the

279
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 6: fun black bomb look hurts plenty of times, he's looking

280
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 6: he fuck. He completes it. Touch down.

281
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 12: Hurts, going deep, far off to the case Smith, Hey down, touchdown.

282
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: Wow, here's Maholmes.

283
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 6: What's he got left?

284
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 9: Pressure?

285
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 12: All dat balls out?

286
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 6: The Eagles have it.

287
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 5: It's a very difficult feeling if you're Patrick not exactly

288
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 5: the way that he thought it would go.

289
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: Tonight, for the second time, the Fins Little Barnie Trophy

290
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: is headed the Philadelphia up Eagles.

291
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 6: Clive in Super Bowl fifty nine.

292
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: The Eagles title defense begins one hundred and eight days

293
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: from tonight against a Dallas Cowboys team that's got a

294
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: new look and a new wide receiver who seems to

295
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: be getting along with this counterpart.

296
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 6: Code number ones.

297
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 13: Oh now we both want Yeah, it ain't no ab

298
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 13: None of that is one. You look over that, you

299
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 13: see one. You look over here, you see another one.

300
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 13: So do what you gotta do with that.

301
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 14: Right now, I'm thinking about how I'm gonna hit the

302
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 14: home run.

303
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 13: I ain't really seem We're trying to focus on how

304
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 13: we're going to dominate this enseoftball game. Every time we

305
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 13: want to feel we trying to dominate together.

306
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: So right now we now I want to field for football.

307
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: Appreciate George Pickens keeping his eye on the ball. Literally,

308
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: welcome back. To the insiders, Tom Pillar, Sarah Mark Ross's back.

309
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Join now by Jeffrey Chadia. All right, let's start right here,

310
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Eagles title defense this fall. If you're thinking about

311
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: the team that have a chance to dethrow them, who's

312
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: on that line list, Well, one.

313
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 12: Of them has to be the team they saw in

314
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 12: the NFC Championship game, the Washington Commanders. And I love

315
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 12: what they've done this offseason, going out and getting Deebo

316
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 12: Samuel and Laramie Tunsel to help Jane Daniels. I love

317
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 12: the culture that winning coach that Dan Quinn created in

318
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 12: one year there.

319
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 7: And I thought this.

320
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 12: Team is not afraid of the Philadelphia Eagles. They beat

321
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 12: them down the stretch in the second half of the season.

322
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 12: They took a beating in the NFC Championship game, but

323
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 12: they are division rivals and so I feel like they're

324
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 12: going to be right there if they can avoid a

325
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 12: sophomore slump from this guy, Jay and Daniels and Mark.

326
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 12: It's been twenty one years since a team repeated his

327
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 12: champions in the NFC East.

328
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 7: That has account for something here.

329
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're definitely whatever that is at the nc East there,

330
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 8: they're changing of the Guard every year, but you're right

331
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 8: on this one. I mean, we did see the Commanders

332
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 8: getting the breaks beat off of them by the Eagles

333
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 8: in that NFC championship game.

334
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 6: So what do they do to get better?

335
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 8: You think, well, glet's just go get a bunch of

336
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 8: pass rushers since I think they still need.

337
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 6: But they really just double down.

338
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 7: On the offense.

339
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 6: She met Shendiebo Samuel.

340
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 8: You mentioned Laramie Tunsel, and those are going to be major,

341
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 8: major upgrades. They got premier players at the position, and

342
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 8: at Deebo. We see anything like the Deebo that we've

343
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 8: seen over the last few years. That's just going to

344
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 8: give Jay and Daniels so much more firepower there to

345
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 8: go across Terry McClaren there, and it's got to be saying, hey,

346
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 8: we might not be able to stop your Eagles, but

347
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 8: let's just outscore you this year.

348
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people going into last season would have

349
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: said the team to beat in the NFC was the

350
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. They looked like it all the way until

351
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: a playoff flop to win against everything that we had seen.

352
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 6: Where do they fit in the equation?

353
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 12: This time around, Jeffrey, they wanted a team to beat,

354
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 12: and to me, they're still the best team in the

355
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 12: NFC to give Philadelphia a run for their money. This

356
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 12: was the number one seed in the NFC last year

357
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 12: going in, it wasn't the Philadelphia Eagles. And even though

358
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 12: they've lost both of their coordinators, you have to look

359
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 12: what they still have on the field with that guy

360
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 12: Jered Golf going to Almara Saint Brown and Jamison Williams.

361
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 12: A run game that's going to have Jamiir Gibbs and

362
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 12: David Montgomery once again running behind one of the best

363
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 12: offensive lines foot ball and getting back Aiden Hutchinson, the

364
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 12: only played in five games because of that broken leg,

365
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 12: is going to be a big boost to that defense.

366
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 12: So they are still very much in the picture. Mark

367
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 12: and I like that defense a lot with eight Hutchinson

368
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 12: coming back into the fold.

369
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely. It's all about the injuries there with Detroit.

370
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 8: I mean, they just could not sustain week in and

371
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 8: week out, losing one or two bodies, especially on that

372
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 8: defensive side led there by Aiden Hutchinson. You know, talked

373
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 8: about the Commanders getting beat down by the Eagles, Well,

374
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 8: the Commanders beat the Lions down. They couldn't stop the

375
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 8: Commanders and it starts ranked there, but also in the draft,

376
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 8: you know, they got an inside presence there and Tyler Williams,

377
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 8: a defensive tackle out of Ohio State who.

378
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 7: I really love.

379
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 8: So when you've got a big body inside that can

380
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 8: penetrate and you got Hutchinson coming from the outside, this

381
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 8: defense has to be better. And unfortunately, you know, fortunately

382
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 8: for them, you I doubt you'll see that many injuries

383
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 8: once again this year in Tom Jeffrey.

384
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: You also have to look at the team that was

385
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: there at the end and quite frankly, look like they

386
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: belonged on the same field as the Eagles in the

387
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The Chiefs, they've gotten older at some spots

388
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: obviously here. How do you feel about their changes of

389
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: getting back to a fourth Super Bowl and facing the job?

390
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 12: Well, I tell you, embarrassment and humiliation are great motivating factors,

391
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 12: especially for a team as proud as the Chiefs.

392
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 7: And you're right, they took that beating.

393
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 12: It was rough to watch, but Travis Kelsey came back

394
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 12: because he wanted to be He didn't want to go

395
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 12: out like that. Patrick Mahomes is still there and you

396
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 12: know what he's like, We've got chip on his shoulder

397
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 12: when he wants to prove people wrong.

398
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 7: But more im quickly.

399
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 12: They were able to hold on some key free agents

400
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 12: like Tray Smith, like Nick Bolton.

401
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 7: But the big question here is the offensive line.

402
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 12: Can they find a way to improve the left side

403
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 12: that was a huge issue all season. They brought in

404
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 12: Josh Simmons and through the draft, they brought in Jalen

405
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 12: Moore through free agency. If they could fix that line

406
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 12: that was a huge problem in that Super Bowl Mark,

407
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 12: they could be right back competing for Super Bowl once again.

408
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt.

409
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 8: And last time we saw the Chiefs get beat this

410
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 8: bad as when they lost to the Bucks in that

411
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 8: Super Bowl. It was the same theme of they couldn't

412
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 8: block anybody, they couldn't block the Bucks. Well, now we

413
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 8: are fast forward to last year's Super Bowl and they

414
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 8: couldn't block the Eagles.

415
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 6: So what do you do?

416
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 8: You signed Jaylon Moore I think is serviceable, but not

417
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 8: the answer to me. It really hinges on Josh Simmons,

418
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 8: who getting him down there at the last pick of

419
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 8: the first round, who I thought had top ten type

420
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 8: talent and the talent to be a perennial Pro Bowl

421
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 8: left tackle. I thought he was the most gifted athletic

422
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 8: left tackle in the draft. So the sooner he can

423
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 8: get up and going, the better to protect Mahomes backside

424
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 8: and improve that whole offensive line.

425
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 7: But you know he's not the only answer.

426
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 6: The whole line is.

427
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 8: The whole has to get better for what we saw

428
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 8: in that Super Bowl.

429

457
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 3: you got, I would say, kind of emotional talking about

458
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 3: your parents. I'm talking about where you came from, as

459
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,920

467
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,320

471
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 14: when he was on his deathbed. Just thinking about talking

472
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 14: to my pops, just talking about the Hall of Fame

473
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 14: and what it meant to him and at those moments

474
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 14: and these type of honors, and I'm like telling him,

475
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 14: don't worry about it, Pops. You know, I'm not worried

476
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 14: about those things. My career is what it is.

477
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 4: I'm great. Because you think I'm great. You're like, no

478
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 4: to me, honest, much more than that. And I'm like nah.

479
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 14: And I just hear it in the back of my

480
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 14: mind and I see it in my minds of my

481
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 14: pop's telling I told you so, and it just it's

482
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 14: it's a it's a it's something I really didn't want

483
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 14: to give the world.

484
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: I really didn't, you know.

485
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 14: But it's an abruption inside because it brings back the

486
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 14: memories of my mother and my father.

487
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: It feels back a scab, you know that.

488
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 14: I don't think because I dealt with that so stoically

489
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 14: my parents' death. I think it just was a culmination

490
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 14: like memories that brought back that is, their their lives

491
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 14: to life, and it just made me miss them in

492
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 14: this moment in regards.

493
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: So I wish they could see this now.

494
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you go back at the coaches that you

495
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 5: played with. Monte Kiffen unfortunately passing away last year, a

496
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 5: guy that's no longer with us, but Tony Dungee I

497
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 5: believe he got one year with him, John Gruden as well.

498
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 5: You played for some legendary coaches and you played alongside

499
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 5: some unbelievable players.

500
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 6: So to have your.

501
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: Individual recognition, because that's what this is what this is

502
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 5: your individual recognition for what you did, for what you

503
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 5: were able to do to get after the quarterback.

504
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 6: How much is that Because we know.

505
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 5: What the with the team and what everybody as a

506
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 5: whole received, but for you to receive the individual honor, uh,

507
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 5: that's got to be a great feeling.

508
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, it makes you think, yeah, I was him,

509
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 14: but I already thought that too, but I already knew

510
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 14: I was him, you know what I mean the momy.

511
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 14: Remember I came in nineteen ninety six, rookie the year,

512
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 14: and then I was all pro already in Arizona. What

513
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 14: I didn't have was the Super Bowl, and I was

514
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 14: able to get that in Tampa.

515
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 4: So all of those things mean so much.

516
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 14: But the thing that meant so much more now that

517
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 14: I didn't even think about at the time was the

518
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 14: fact that it's like for the organization that you played

519
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 14: for to honor you. It's like a father to a

520
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 14: son saying job well done. And it's so again, it's

521
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 14: so much more than just who I am, because I

522
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 14: can do this all day, but it's really about what

523
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 14: I represent. And I represent Class of ninety two. You know,

524
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 14: I represent the draft class of ninety six. I represent

525
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 14: again South Side Chicago, the Catholic League Chicago, the Catholic

526
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 14: League Football, Maltcarmo High School, University of Illinois, ch any

527
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 14: different guys that I've touched throughout my career and have

528
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 14: touched me, from the Eric Swan's to the.

529
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 4: Eric Hughes. I mean guys that I played.

530
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 14: Nia's Williams, guy that I play with and respect out

531
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 14: in Arizona to to hear. So it's just in retrospect

532
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 14: of all of that it comes with, that's all immersed

533
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 14: in that world of mine. It's like this metal world

534
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 14: of all the things that I am, Like, I'm all

535
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 14: all the people that I've met.

536
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: In my life. I'm all of those people.

537
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 14: I represent all of that, and it's with my father's name.

538
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

539
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 9: Good for you.

540
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: We get in before we I mean, let me just

541
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: jump it because I do want Mike to get some

542
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 3: thoughts on this year's team. This Bucks team one of

543
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 3: the I would say masterminds of the NFL, and Todd

544
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: Bowles obviously brought into Son Reddick to help off the edge,

545
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: like hopefully help like like.

546
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: You did for that great defense.

547
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 3: What do you think of this current Bucks team to

548
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: Rynasy in twenty twenty five.

549
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 14: I don't want to spoke all that much, but I

550
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 14: know they get a dog at quarterback, you know, hu.

551
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 4: I think Baker Mayfield is booming for a good great year.

552
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 14: I think they have a great coach and Todd balls,

553
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 14: and I think they're do to do some really interesting things.

554
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 4: They have a shot that they winning the whole thing

555
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 4: this year.

556
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 14: You know, they have a great team, and as long

557
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 14: as those guys as a collective can come together and

558
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 14: do something brilliant, then something special is gonna happen.

559
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 7: I think.

560
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 14: I mean to me, if you finish, you know, in

561
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 14: terms of to win in a conference or something that

562
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 14: like like that, I think you you can pretty much

563
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 14: say you have a really dominant year. But to have

564
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 14: the best version of yourself, you got to win a

565
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 14: super Bowl, obviously, but to loom around, you know, NFC

566
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 14: championship something like that says a lot as well.

567
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 4: And I think they, I think they're due for one

568
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 4: of those things.

569
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 5: And listen for a guy who put the quarterback on

570
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 5: the ground at least with the ball one hundred and

571
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 5: twenty two times, sometimes without the ball as well, for

572
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 5: you to start with the quarterback and give him the

573
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 5: highest regards. I know that Baker Mayfield earned that compliment

574
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 5: right there from Simeon Rice. And who knows, maybe around

575
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 5: November thirtieth, that game against the Cardinals, when you are

576
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 5: honored and inducted into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor, we'll

577
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 5: be talking about a Buccaneers team that is in position

578
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 5: to make some noise in the postseason. We're looking forward

579
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 5: to that. We're looking forward to your induction. Simeon Rice.

580
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 5: Congratulations once again on this honor.

581
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: It's great, thank you.

582
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 3: If there really is no tush push that guy right there,

583
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: Sakuon Barkley only going to become more valuable in fantasy.

584
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 3: So let's get into it with our fantasy expert, Michael f.

585
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 6: Florial. Florial, what's up? Give me the fantasy.

586
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: Outlook for the Philadelphia Egles as we go right through

587
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: the nfcas but start with the champs.

588
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 15: If Nick Sirianni as their head coach, and he is

589
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 15: always a very run heavy play caller, but that reached

590
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 15: new heights pun intended once they got Saquon Barkley last year.

591
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 15: And look, he's a rock solid early pick in fantasy,

592
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 15: but he did have over one hundred more touches last

593
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 15: year than his previous high, so.

594
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: He brings some risk.

595
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 15: That approach, though, does hurt Jalen Hurts, who looks more

596
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 15: rushing dependent than ever, so that toush push gets Bam.

597
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 7: That hurts him.

598
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 6: Because he threw for fewer than three.

599
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 15: Thousand yards and twenty touchdowns last year. You would think

600
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 15: that hurts the wide receivers right, Nope. Aj Brown on

601
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 15: a seventeen game pace was going for almost fourteen hundred

602
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 15: yards his usual numbers. He is a very solid round

603
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 15: two pick. DeVonta Smith gave you his usual numbers. He

604
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 15: is a rock solid water receiver too in the middle

605
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 15: rounds of drafts.

606
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 6: Dallas Goddard we know has talent, but two years.

607
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 15: In a row now he's been the forgotten man in

608
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 15: this offense.

609
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: You can't trust that in fantasy, no, But if he

610
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 3: stays healthy, might see a resurgence of Dallas. Gotta put

611
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: more on that as we get closer. All right, let's

612
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: go to Dallas. What have we got to the Cowboys?

613
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 15: Top four pass attempts to last two years for the Cowboys,

614
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 15: which is awesome. But Schottenheimer has a long history as

615
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 15: an OC, never really been that.

616
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 6: Pass happy before.

617
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 15: So was that Mike McCarthy influenced. I don't know, but

618
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 15: I do know that Dak Prescott in the last five years,

619
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 15: his best years have come with Schottenheimer in twenty twenty three.

620
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 15: But now he is falling in drafts as a QB two.

621
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 15: I think he could outlive that. Ceedee Lamb. You could

622
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 15: set your watch by over eleven hundred yards four consecutive seasons,

623
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 15: but last year he had less slot usage than really

624
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 15: ever before. I think with the arrival of George Pickens

625
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 15: that changes and Ceedee Lamb's upside is the best wide

626
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 15: receiver in fantasy. Pickens is going to be a little

627
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 15: bit boom or bus wide receiver three, but I anticipate

628
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 15: him seeing way more usage than any of the Cowboys

629
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 15: wide receiver two in recent years, which likely hurts Jake Ferguson,

630
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 15: who has been the number two target for Dak in

631
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 15: the Schottenheimer's system. I think that changes put the running

632
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 15: backs of what you want to pay attention to in

633
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 15: camp over one thousand yards and fifty targets two straight

634
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 15: for the Cowboys RB one.

635
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 7: I got a big.

636
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: Decision to make. Who do I keep Dak or Jaden Daniels.

637
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: So help me make that decision. Tell me about the Commanders.

638
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 6: Jade and Daniels all day.

639
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 15: Because for as good as he was last year, the

640
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 15: Commanders finished twenty fifth in pass attempts. That is the

641
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 15: lowest a Cliff Kingsbury offense has ever finished, So I

642
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 15: think we could see even more passing in year two

643
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 15: for Daniels he led the Commanders in rushing yards, but

644
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 15: again he could reach a new level as a passer.

645
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 15: Top three Fantasy QB. I think he's in play for

646
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 15: an MVP award this year too. Terry McLaurin is as

647
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 15: rock solid as they come. He's top one thousand yards

648
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 15: in five straight years, career high in touchdowns last year,

649
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 15: but he did it on his fewest targets since his

650
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 15: rookie year, So if they start throwing more, he could

651
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 15: be a top five Fantasy wide receiver Debo.

652
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 6: Probably a better real life piece than fantasy.

653
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 15: But he brings yak, which is what this offense was missing.

654
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 15: But he does probably also eat into Zach Ertz's For

655
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 15: the running backs, they're gonna eat off of each other's plate.

656
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 15: But Brian Robinson as an RB three looks like the

657
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 15: better value.

658
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 4: Pick right now.

659
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: If we're talking yak, you know we are talking fantasy.

660
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 4: We're not done yet.

661
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 6: Give me the New York Giants for you.

662
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, look past first offense led by Brian Dable, right.

663
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 15: The only issue is last year they didn't have a quarterback.

664
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 15: They have that now with Russell Wilson, who is an

665
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 15: upgrade across the board amongst.

666
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 6: The Giants quarterbacks last year, but especially as a deep

667
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 6: ball thrower.

668
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 15: He had more yards on deep passes last year than

669
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 15: all four of the Giants quarterbacks combined. He also throws

670
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 15: a lot to backfield to the backfield, which does well

671
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 15: for the running backs. But Malike Neighbors is the star

672
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 15: here and that is who you want. He was super

673
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 15: consistent week to week with elite volume. But with Russell

674
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 15: Wilson being here, Jameis Winston Jackson dark, it's all upgrades over.

675
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 6: What he had last year.

676
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 15: His upside is finishing as the best wide receiver in fantasy,

677
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 15: and I think he's in the range of wide receiver

678
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 15: two after Jamar Chay and I love me some Camskataboo.

679
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 15: I think Russ dumping off to the running back is

680
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 15: going to go a long way for him. Tyron Tracy

681
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 15: was abovely below league average and a lot of metrics

682
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 15: last year. I think he's the RB two in this system.

683
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 15: But Camscattabou has top twenty four upside. You could get

684
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 15: him in like rounds eight or nine.

685
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: Right now, I was gonna say, you know that Scatabo

686
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 3: is going to be overdrafted, and I don't know if

687
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna be worth it or not, but I might

688
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: make it run at it as well. Never too early

689
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: to talk fantasy for you. Thank you very much. As always,

690
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: you are the man.

691
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: Less than four months away from kickoff in the NFL,

692
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: where the Vikings certainly hope to turn the Bears into Teddy's.

693
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: On Monday Night Football September eighth, the countdown is on

694
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: to the start of the season and the debut one

695
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: of the Viking's latest acquisitions. He's our guest right now,

696
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: Will Fries. Will congratulations belatedly on your deal a couple

697
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: of months ago.

698
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 7: Here.

699
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: How are you liking Minnesota so far? Are we doing

700
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: over the doing good?

701
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 16: Thanks for having me Loving Minnesota, Loving the guys, really

702
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 16: good group. It's been fun to become acquainted with them.

703
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 16: Be up here, I get to know everybody and enjoy

704
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 16: we move up here, so I'm pumped to be here

705
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 16: and love everything about it so far.

706
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 5: You know, one of the biggest compliments I think a

707
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 5: player can be paid in free agency. Along with getting paid,

708
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 5: you know that, is the fact that a new team

709
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 5: brings you in when you're.

710
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 6: Coming off a significant injury. You're coming off that leg.

711
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 5: Injury last year that limited you to I think was

712
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 5: five or six games last year certainly speaks to how

713
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 5: highly the Vikings.

714
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 6: Think of your play itself. So how much did you

715
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 6: appreciate that?

716
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 4: Number one?

717
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 6: And number two? How are you doing? Are you all

718
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 6: the way back yet?

719
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 9: Yeah?

720
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 16: You know, I'm extremely grateful for the Vikings to give

721
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 16: me that opportunity to come in and you know, give

722
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 16: me what the gop after such a devastating injury, and

723
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 16: I'm coming back really well. I'm feeling really good. Not

724
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 16: all the way back yet, but I'm making good progress.

725
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 16: You know, I told everyone when I got there, They're

726
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 16: not going to regret it. I'm getting everything I got

727
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 16: every day in rehab. I'm always gonna do that. I'm

728
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 16: always give them everything I got and make sure I

729
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 16: earn everything that I was given. You know, I don't

730
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 16: take it for granted. You know, I had to work

731
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 16: all the way from the bottoms to get to where

732
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 16: I was at, and I'm gonna keep doing that.

733
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 9: Studio, It's the only way I know.

734
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: So as a kid from New Jersey who you know

735
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: is the Colt's offensive lineman who ends up obviously played

736
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: really good football, so suffering that injured when when you

737
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: get the call, hey, we're getting this thing done. It's

738
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 1: five years, close to eighty eight million dollars with the Viking.

739
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: He's like, what's your first reaction?

740
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I couldn't couldn't believe it. Uh, you know, called

741
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 9: my dad right away. You know, he was on the

742
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 9: whole of them all day and he was helping me

743
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 9: kind of get through. And he says, you got to

744
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 9: tell you yes right now.

745
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 6: So there was.

746
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 16: He was, uh, he was all in and uh, you know,

747
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 16: like I said, extremely grateful to the King, the whole

748
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 16: organization for giving me what I got.

749
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 5: You talked about your dad. We came across as we

750
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 5: were getting ready for the interview. Your dad had some

751
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 5: legendary workouts for you as early as what like the

752
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 5: fourth grade.

753
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 6: Can you can you take us through those?

754
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 16: Yeah? You know, I think a big part of the

755
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 16: reason the way and today is because of my dad

756
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 16: had me out there flipping tires using a floodshammer, hitting

757
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 16: the tires, dragon chains around, chain push ups, all that stuff.

758
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 9: So there was no there there was no taking it easy.

759
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 16: From an early start. I think he was trying to

760
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 16: get himself a free ride to college. So hopefully that

761
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 16: worked out for him. But yeah, those workouts were not fun.

762
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 16: I hated it at the time, but looking back at it,

763
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 16: I think it really helped me.

764
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 9: GE's where I am today.

765
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: So you can talked about those new teammates that year

766
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: around now in Minnesota. Tell me specifically about one that

767
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: you're going to be blocking for. JJ McCarthy miss his

768
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: entire rookie season because of a niscus injury.

769
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: He's coming back now.

770
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: All indications are he's embracing that role to be the

771
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: leader of the team. What are your early depressions of

772
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: the guy who presumably is going to be under center

773
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: this year.

774
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 9: I love JJ. I'm super excited for him because his opportunity.

775
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 16: I mean, just from the short time I've known him,

776
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 16: he has this demeanor about him, just, you know, a

777
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 16: swagger or whatever you want to call it. That you know,

778
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 16: I think a lot of the guys really around the

779
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 16: way he's been leading thus far. He's gonna be fun

780
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 16: to play west. He loves the game. He looks like

781
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 16: he's doing all the right things. He has his routine,

782
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 16: he's all spurred away. So I couldn't get any more

783
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 16: pumped to play with the guy like that. And love

784
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 16: the game so much, and we're gonna have fun win

785
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 16: a lot of games with them.

786
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 5: Speaking of the quarterback, a lot of times when we're

787
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 5: talking about a free agent and a guy goes somewhere,

788
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 5: it's like, Oh, he's going to a Dome team, and

789
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 5: that's good for a quarterback.

790
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 6: You're an offensive lineman. You went from Dome to Dome.

791
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 5: Now you're gonna play outdoor games in the NFC North.

792
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 5: There's certainly not a burse of that. But is that

793
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 5: factor in for you at all? I'm does an offensive

794
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 5: lineman crave the opposite? How does that work?

795
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 9: The dome is plunned, you don't have to worry about

796
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 9: the weather. But I will say playing in the.

797
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 16: SEED North obviously a legendary conference. I'm excited to get

798
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 16: one of those snow games. I don't know if I'm

799
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 16: asking too much or bite off of them more I

800
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 16: can show there, but I think playing one of those

801
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 16: snow games would be fun. So I'm hoping we can

802
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 16: get one of those at some point in my career.

803
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 6: You're gonna get one.

804
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 1: I'm looking at your schedule right there too. You get

805
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: two National TV games out of the gate. You got

806
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: that double dip overseas. This is gonna be a lot

807
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: of national exposure for this young Vikings team. What are

808
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: your expectations just to the team in twenty twenty five.

809
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 16: I mean, like I said, just for meeting the guys,

810
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 16: I love that Toude. Everyone brings like everybody loves football.

811
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 16: Everybody's working their butts off in the weight room, you know,

812
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 16: becoming acquainted with these guys, no line room and coach

813
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 16: Cooper like, I'm really excited to you know, hopefully have

814
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 16: a physical team, you know, a tough team, a team

815
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 16: that you know can take other teams in deep water.

816
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 9: And I'm just pumped for the area. I'm you know,

817
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 9: taking a game by game.

818
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 16: I never like taking too far ahead, but obviously a

819
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 16: lot of exciting opportunities to play you know, prime time nationally,

820
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 16: Totdvise Dames and it's gonna be a lot of fun

821
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 16: this year.

822
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: Well, great stuff, man, really appreciate the time. Let's do

823
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: this again.

824
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 9: Absolutely thanks for having me on, guys.

825
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: The eighth annual Eagles Autism Challenge, presented by Lincoln Financial,

826
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: took place in Philadelphia this past Saturday. Champion by Eagles

827
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: chairman and CEO, Jeffrey Lorie. The Eagles Autism Challenge is

828
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: the team's annual cycling and five k run slash walk

829
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: event dedicated to raising funds for autism research and care programs.

830
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: This year, they raised a record breaking ten million dollars,

831
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: adding to the more than forty million raised in total

832
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen.

833
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 6: They're doing good in the community, They're.

834
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 2: Doing good on the field.

835
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: They're so good at one play that it might get

836
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: outlawed this week. Within the past hour, the Packers now

837
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: have sent to the league and other clubs they're updated

838
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: language for batting, not just the tush push, but all

839
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: acts of pushing and pulling the runner. Now, this mirrors

840
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: the language that was on the books from the league's

841
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: foundation in nineteen twenty through two thousand and five before

842
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: it was taken out of the rule book. I've spoken

843
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: to people believe Mike that this is an unintended consequence. Basically,

844
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: it took twenty years, but the Eagles out threaded the

845
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: needle and found a way to exploit this.

846
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: A fascinating debate coming.

847
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: Up this week at the Spring Leading meeting in Minneapolis,

848
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: where we anticipate a vote on Wednesday at a time

849
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: that unlike the March meeting, none of the coaches and

850
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: gms are there.

851
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 2: It's just the owners.

852
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 5: Mike, Yeah, and which is interesting because there were coaches

853
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 5: that were starting to be swayed. There were more coaches

854
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 5: that talked about the health concern of the play. But

855
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 5: I remember talking to a few folks who said when

856
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 5: they brought up the fact that this was changed twenty

857
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 5: something years ago, at first they couldn't remember why, and

858
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 5: then oh, that's right, because it was too tough to

859
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 5: really officiate this thing down the field.

860
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 6: So let's go. Let's allow them to push and the

861
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 6: pull and doing it.

862
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 5: Well, well, now we're going back to where we were before,

863
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 5: which is you can only block defenders.

864
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 6: You can't push your own guys, you can't pull your

865
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 6: own guys. That's the proposal. Anyway, we'll see if it

866
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 6: gets enough votes.

867
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 5: To pass, and then maybe we won't have to subject

868
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 5: Ian Rappaport to a non I'm thrown up air quotes,

869
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 5: non football play.

870
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 3: This revision makes a lot of sense. This makes a

871
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 3: lot of sense. It doesn't make sense to be able

872
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: to push and pull guys on the field. That has

873
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 3: never made That's really not football. It's rugby. It's definitely rugby,

874
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 3: but it's definitely not football. I don't know if this

875
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 3: is going to pass or not. It certainly seems like

876
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 3: there's momentum, but this revised language by the packers makes sense.

877
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 2: You guys are right.

878
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 3: The football people are not there, the owners considering this

879
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 3: as a health and safety issue. It certainly seems like

880
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: this is probably gone time.

881
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 7: We will be.

882
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: Covering the Spring League meeting live in Egan, Minnesota. Judy

883
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: Batista and I will both be there the next couple

884
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: of days. We except to vote on the player participation

885
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: in the Olympics on Tuesday, tush push on side kicks,

886
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: receiving all those football rule specific things. Those are going

887
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: to be Wednesday debates and potential votes. What we do

888
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: know is that the Eagles have locked up head coach

889
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: Dick Sirianni for a long time, and they also will

890
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: be able to lock up the ability to push push to.

891
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 2: Their heart's desire.

892
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: Stick around seven BM Eastern time tomorrow for a lot more.

893
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: We'll see that
