Speaker 1: The cowtown is on the preseason openers for thirty NFL teams.

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: We've got training camps covered coast to coast. These next

00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: sixty minutes, Gino Smith and the Raiders in Las Vegas,

Speaker 1: Michael Pennix Junior and the Falcons in Rainy Flowery Branch,

00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on the field, and well,

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: whoever ends up being the Browns quarterback. We go fort

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: deep two. Welcome inside with the Insiders, alongside Ian Rappaport

00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: is in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Pilaicero here with the Falcons.

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: We are just days away from the preseason openers for

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: most teams, the first full weekend of preseason games. One

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: month from tonight, we've got the regular season kickoff. It

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: is the Eagles and the Cowboys, and the biggest storyline

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: clearly between now and then, will Michael Parsons be on

15
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: the field for that game. That is where we begin

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: in Oxnard, California, where MICHAEH. Parsons three days ago, in

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: a lengthy social media post, requested a trade from the

18
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, saying he no longer wants to be there,

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: no longer wants to be held to negotiations that occurred

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: without his agent present. As for the Cowboys, they're saying,

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: not so fast.

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: We're still planning on moving Mike around and putting him

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: in all the spots that we see him and using

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: our fronts the way we want to see it. And no,

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: we just you know, we go about our business every day.

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: We live in the moment. We folcus in the moment.

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: And again, like I said, I talked to you guys

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: the other day, I'm not going to get a lot

29
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: into it, but you know, I expect Michael to be here.

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: I love these guys. Frankly, I can be in a

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: place in the war and I want to be right here.

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: I want to be right here with camp, enjoy these players,

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: enjoy Micah h But as always in any relationships or

34
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: different moods at different times of your relationship, that's what

35
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: it is. Don't lose in sleepover, So just do That's

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: the one thing I would say to our fan, don't

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: lose in sleepover.

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: In a way, I would say, this was almost an

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: inevitable point in this saga, was it not. Michah Parsons,

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: who whether it's in a podcast or social media, everything

41
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: that he wants to say is going to come out Eventually.

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: Inevitably you get multiple people from the Cowboys organization coming

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: out and having to respond to it. The real question

44
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: out here, Ian, where Micah says I want out, the

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys say You're not getting out. What is the next

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: pressure point?

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: Here? Is this thing moves forward?

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been fascinating time to listen to the football

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 5: people like Brian Schottenheimer, I mean, Jerry Jones.

50
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: We know what he's going to talk about. He's going

51
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: to talk about the business.

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 5: Schottenheimer is going to talk about the football, and that

53
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 5: is really in that building in Auction Nerd right now.

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 5: What they want is to see Micah Parsons, the football player,

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 5: one of the very best in the NFL, who is

56
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: great at being moved around the defense, who does create

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 5: pressure basically everywhere he's been and is certainly one of

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 5: the best players regardless of position in the NFL. They

59
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 5: want him to be playing for their team. That now

60
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 5: remains an open question. As you mentioned, Michah Parsons has

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 5: requested a trade. The Cowboys have said we'll see about that.

62
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 5: The next pressure point to answer your question is when

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 5: do the cowboys say to Micah Parsons, you need to

64
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: start practicing. He is now doing what is called a

65
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 5: hold in, which has become very popular around the NFL

66
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 5: over the last couple of years.

67
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: It's not a holdout.

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 5: He's not getting fined, he's not losing any of his

69
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 5: guaranteed money. He is there, He is present. They can

70
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 5: see him every day on the sideline. Sometimes he has

71
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 5: been close on the sideline, sad Jerry Jones or Steven Jones.

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 5: Sometimes he has talked to them, but he has not

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 5: been participating. What if the cowboys say, you know what,

74
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: you need to start practicing.

75
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: What happens then? Where does it go?

76
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 5: Is their discipline reaction or do they say, you know what,

77
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 5: let's just ride it out the this is a guy

78
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 5: we want with us for the next ten years. Only

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: Tom will tell which way all sides react to that.

80
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 6: Jerry Jones and his latest comments now to USA Today

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 6: at this point talking about the fact that Micah Parsons,

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 6: like a lot of players, wants an extension with a

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 6: contract that he is currently in the middle of. Jerry

84
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 6: seems very adamant now about well, this is what the contract.

85
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: This is the length of the contract.

86
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 6: He did it with his head coach Mike McCarthy last

87
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 6: year and it resulted in negotiations after the season didn't

88
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: add anything. On teams, they're usually not willing to let

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 6: a coach coach out his entire contract. Jerry now talking

90
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 6: about it in regards to the players and say, well

91
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 6: they should. They're trying to get these negotiations done in

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 6: the middle of a contract instead of playing it out.

93
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: And I know, I hear you. Every coach, excuse.

94
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 6: Me, every agent, and every player right now is in

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 6: my ear.

96
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: I got you.

97
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 6: Don't worry because they'll say, well, what about the last

98
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 6: couple of years of a deal, when the team basically

99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 6: rips it up by saying those are non guaranteed years,

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 6: guess what we're cutting you right now?

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: Bye bye.

102
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 6: This is the player's chance to do the opposite and say, yeah,

103
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 6: I know I've got a couple of years left on

104
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 6: this contract, franchise tags after that, but this is the

105
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 6: point at which I'm taking my stance, and this is

106
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 6: the point at which I want my extension.

107
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: Because I'm putting my body on the line.

108
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 6: And that's what Parsons has said in this case, So

109
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 6: that's his guy, his right right now to put the

110
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 6: pressure on the team and see if he can get

111
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 6: an extension out of this.

112
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: There's been no further communication.

113
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 6: Something's got to give at some point here Ian, whether

114
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 6: it's get back on the field or get this deal done.

115
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 7: Well, I do wonder at what points something gives and

116
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 7: what is going to cause it to give, Like, what's

117
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 7: going to happen here? Is the team finally going to

118
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 7: call the agent? Is the agent finally going to call

119
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 7: the team? Are they going to insist that Micah get

120
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 7: on the field, and then we.

121
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 8: Have some sort of breaking point.

122
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 7: I don't know what's going to get this off the

123
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 7: point where it is now, which is basically nowhere. And

124
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 7: as we get closer and closer to the season. Obviously

125
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 7: they want their best player on the field practicing, But

126
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 7: why should he get on the field and practice if

127
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 7: there hasn't been a new contract and bigger picture here,

128
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 7: I just don't understand the benefit that is accruing to

129
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 7: the team by doing it this way. They are angering

130
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 7: the best player on the team. And you we've watched

131
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 7: as other players that sort of lined up with Micah

132
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 7: here on Micah's side. I don't understand what the Cowboys

133
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 7: are getting out of this, except that we all talk

134
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 7: about it every day. That's not going to get them

135
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 7: to win a Super Bowl, though they need Michael Parsons

136
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 7: on the field if they have any chance to do that.

137
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: I will also issue my annual reminder here that a

138
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: hold in is not a real thing. That's not the

139
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: collective margating agreement. It didn't exist even ten years ago.

140
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: If you don't practice, just because you're there doesn't get

141
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: you out of the fines. If you don't practice, you

142
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: can be fined. You can be suspended, have a game

143
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: check taken away for conduct detrimental. If you leave camp,

144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: the team can put you on the left squad list

145
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: and take you out for the entire season. We're not

146
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: there yet, but the point is, at a time we've

147
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: got several of these hold ins taking place, there are

148
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: actions the team can take. It's a sign of good

149
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: faith that they have not taken those yet. Another one

150
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: of those holdings right now ian playing out in Buffalo.

151
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's talk about the latest hold in for James Cook,

152
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 5: the member of the Buffalo bill is one of the

153
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 5: key parts of their offense. One of the best running

154
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: backs in the NFL, just not quite paid like one

155
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 5: yet he is standing on business. To quote him, as

156
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: he told local reporters, showed up a camp on time

157
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 5: in grave shape practice well now not so much officially

158
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: launching his hold in. So Brandon Bean had to now

159
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 5: react to this, which he did recently.

160
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 9: That's not something we were fully aware of until, you know,

161
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 9: shortly before practice, and so you know, I get it.

162
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: I understand.

163
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 9: It's the it's the world we're in. I guess of

164
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 9: how players want to respond and things like that. You know,

165
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 9: love James, and you know, at the end of the day,

166
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 9: you know, we want all our guys practice, and we

167
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 9: know that. I mean, we got some guys out, you know,

168
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 9: due to injuries or soft tissue and stuff like that.

169
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 9: So we're trying to get as many guys on the

170
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 9: practice field as we can and start preparing for this

171
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 9: first preseason game and hopefully we'll get him back out

172
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 9: there soon.

173
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

174
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: When I was in Buffalo, there's a lot of public

175
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 5: and private plays for James Cook, who showed up in

176
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: great shape, practicing well. Despite wanting a new contract, everything

177
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 5: was all good. They just wanted to try to get somehow,

178
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: some way closer to a deal, and all of a

179
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 5: sudden he says, you know what, Nope, I'm just not practicing.

180
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: He stands on business, the Bills are where they are,

181
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 5: and look, I understand honestly from a James Cook standpoint,

182
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 5: They've gotten a lot of deals done with a lot

183
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 5: of really good young players. Most notably there's stars on

184
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 5: their defense, and of course Josh Allen gets a new

185
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: deal as well on offense. James Cook wants a lot

186
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 5: of money, wants to be one of the highest paid

187
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 5: running backs in the NFL.

188
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: He has been productive enough, no doubt about it.

189
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 10: But from the.

190
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 5: Bills standpoint, I get it too. They have a lot

191
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 5: of bounds to feed. This is a championship caliber team

192
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 5: that they want to keep together. So basic where it

193
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 5: stands is the Bills made it offer. It is obviously

194
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 5: not something that Cook and his agent Zach Hiller have accepted,

195
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 5: but in their minds it's like, we want to lock

196
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 5: you up to a deal. This is where we could go,

197
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 5: and Hillar and Cooker more like, yeah, we deserve more.

198
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: And that's basically the Standstill remains to be seen how

199
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 5: it will be broken or if at some point, de

200
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 5: Bill say, James, you need to get back on the field. Obviously,

201
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 5: more on this in the coming days.

202
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Careful, Thank you, Rappaport.

203
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 6: I was in Washington the other day Josh Harris and

204
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 6: Terry McLaren had a little dep up hug situation, which

205
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 6: frankly I sort of explained back then. Terry McLaren's been

206
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 6: about as professional about this trade request hold in situation

207
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 6: as you could expect. He is a team leader, so

208
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 6: they did expect that from him. They always expect professional

209
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 6: behavior from him, and they're getting it in this case.

210
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 6: I mean, what do you expect he was going to

211
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 6: kick Josh Harris in the shins. Of course, he's going

212
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 6: to give the guy a hug. This is all business

213
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 6: that is going on right now with mclauren. I did

214
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 6: not get the sense that since his trade reques, teams

215
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 6: have been burning up the phone lines ready to give

216
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: up a ton of draft pick compensation Number one to

217
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 6: Washington because they still value him and they're still going

218
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 6: to want a lot for him, and number two then

219
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 6: the money on the back end. This is a tough

220
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 6: time of year for a general manager to go to

221
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 6: his owner and say, hey, we need thirty million dollars

222
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 6: per year to pay a guy, so this situation is

223
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 6: going to take a while to reserve. Buddy Baker, Terry

224
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 6: mclaurin's agent, had been at practice pretty much on the regular,

225
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 6: I said the other day, I don't expect him anywhere

226
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 6: near there in the near future, So I think there's

227
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 6: still some time for this one to develop between McLaren

228
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 6: and the Commanders. He doesn't want to play out the

229
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 6: last year of the deal at fifteen million dollars in change.

230
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 6: The Commanders have tried to get a deal done at

231
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 6: a lower number of a McLaren and Baker essay, not

232
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 6: nearly good enough for us.

233
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: So don't know which.

234
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 6: Side's going to buckle on this one or how it's

235
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 6: going to be resolved. Maybe some money added to this

236
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 6: year and a bit of an extension, maybe not.

237
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: At the number that mclauren and Baker had.

238
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 6: In mind, a little bit lower, but maybe something that

239
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 6: finally gets it done. Either way, Judy, I think it's

240
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 6: still going to take some time.

241
00:10:59,040 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Thank you.

242
00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 8: Mike.

243
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 7: Have been telling everybody to keep an eye on Matthew

244
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 7: Stafford's health ever since the Rams told us right before

245
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 7: training camp that he has back sore on us and

246
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 7: would not practice when training camp started. Well, he still

247
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 7: is in practicing, and Sean McVay gave an update that

248
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 7: was maybe a little bit concerning over the weekend. He

249
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 7: labeled the situation now week to week. He talked about

250
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 7: wanting to ease him back into football and these were

251
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 7: his words in the near future. He talked about where

252
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 7: Matthew Stafford is in his rehab work. He talked about

253
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 7: unloaded walking and running on a treadmill like cardio, So

254
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 7: it certainly doesn't sound like he is anywhere near full

255
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 7: on football activities. He has visited a back specialist multiple times.

256
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: The Rams have a.

257
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 7: Joint practice with the Cowboys tomorrow. He is obviously not

258
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 7: going to be participating, and that probably not in the

259
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 7: one next week with the Chargers. He wouldn't be playing

260
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 7: in preseason games anyway, but certainly this is a cause

261
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 7: for concern as we push further into August and Matthew

262
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 7: Stafford is not on the field.

263
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: Toms the Browns have had their own share of quarterback

264
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: issues through the course of camp. Can he Picktt still

265
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: limited right now because of a hamstring Dylan Gabriel popped

266
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: up today with some hamstring tightness and did not practice.

267
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders had arm soreness recently, but he was back

268
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: on the practice field today and did not sound too concerned. Yeah.

269
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 11: In college, Yeah, in college, it was often it was

270
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 11: just adjusting to starting to stop. And honestly, that's all

271
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 11: it truly is is you know, sometimes you're going hot,

272
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 11: then you'll wait for a second, then you'll get cold

273
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 11: and get back hot, then get cold, and you know,

274
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 11: I'm just I wouldn't My arm and body wasn't used

275
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,359
Speaker 11: to that, you know, So it's just an adjustment.

276
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: Catch every NFL preseason game right here on NFL Network,

277
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: including twenty one of them live, all three Browns preseason games.

278
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: You guess it will be right here on NFL Network,

279
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: in no small part because of that four way quarterback

280
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: competition in which Schador said in line to make his

281
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: debut and perhaps an early statement Thursday night against the Panthers.

282
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 12: Mark, can you help level set and give some context

283
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 12: around the four headed competition at quarterback here for the Cleveland.

284
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 13: Brown Definitely a unique situation, as we've talked about all

285
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 13: off season with the Browns quarterback situation. Now you see

286
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 13: it firsthand. I've seen it firsthand today and look, Joe

287
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 13: Flacco doesn't need any reps, so that's number one. He

288
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 13: can come off the couch. He can come off the

289
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 13: recliner and go start games in the NFL, and Kevin

290
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 13: Stefanski completely trust him. Kenny Pick has been slowed by

291
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 13: injury here with a hamstring injury. Started out hot, but

292
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 13: I think with him, you want to see the emergence

293
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 13: the growth with him because he gives you that dual

294
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 13: threat that Joe Flacco does not have. So he's got

295
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 13: to get healthy in order to do that. And he

296
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 13: has super Bowl experience. Former first round pick was with

297
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 13: the Steelers, so he won't be phased by the big

298
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 13: game situation.

299
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: The two young guys, Dylan Gabriel.

300
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 13: The third round pick, Schador Sanders, a fifth round pick,

301
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 13: We just want them to learn and grow each day

302
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 13: and take baby steps. Can they master the offense? Can

303
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 13: they master the playbook? Are the teammates looking at them

304
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 13: saying you're making the right check? So a little bit

305
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 13: more of a We just want to wait and develop

306
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 13: with those guys, not expecting them to jump out there

307
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 13: and start week one.

308
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 12: What do you think are the key factors? And these

309
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 12: guys differentiating themselves. Obviously you were a scout, You've been

310
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 12: in personnel for a long time with multiple organizations. What

311
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 12: are the key factors that they're assessing between these four guys.

312
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 13: Well, number one, especially the young guys, it's how they're

313
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 13: handling the film room, how they're handling the playbook.

314
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: That's number one.

315
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 13: Before anything happens out there, they have to master that

316
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 13: because then they can think fast. Then they can make checks,

317
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 13: then they can make all the assignments and changes and

318
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 13: protection changes, and then the team can look at them

319
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 13: and say, oh wow, yes, we have belief, we have

320
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 13: faith in these guys that we can go with them.

321
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 13: Joe Flacco, They're not looking for anything from him. We

322
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 13: know what's going on with Joe.

323
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: Again.

324
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: The wild card is Kenny.

325
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 13: Pickett, where he still has I mean he's still young,

326
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 13: he's only been in the league years and been through

327
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 13: a lot in that short time. Has the highest of

328
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 13: hides of being a Super Bowl champ, the lowess of

329
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 13: low's of being a not successful first round pick. So

330
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 13: I think there's still a lot of untapped potential that

331
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 13: Kevin Stefanski thinks that he can.

332
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: Get out of.

333
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 4: Picket.

334
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: But he's got to get on the field and get healthy.

335
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 12: Now, General manager Andrew Berry has teased potentially and said,

336
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 12: there's the scenario in which we keep all five quarterbacks.

337
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 12: You've worked in a front office, the likelihood of that happening, Yeah.

338
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 13: Look, I trust Andrew fantastic. Today stopped by said, hi

339
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 13: as the coach Stefanski, the nicest duo head coach GM

340
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 13: duo in the NFL. But you know that would be

341
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 13: a rare current. I don't think that has ever happened.

342
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 13: This competition is rare. But now to say we're going

343
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 13: to keep these four on the fifty three, your special

344
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 13: teams coaches, your tight end coach, your O line coachs like, well,

345
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 13: well wait a minute, now, we need some of these

346
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 13: bodies for us. So I would think he has to

347
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 13: talk about that now. But when it comes down to

348
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 13: cut down day, you won't see all four of these

349
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 13: quarterbacks on the roster.

350
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 12: The Cleveland Browns they finished their practice behind us. They're

351
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 12: going to head off to Carolina tomorrow. I head of

352
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 12: a joint practice versus the Panthers on Wednesday.

353
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: You might look at the weather report and say sixty

354
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: two and raining isn't the best day for a training

355
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: camp practice if you're us, definitely true if you're the players.

356
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Everyone I talked to said this was the day to

357
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: be in Flowery Branch, a little break from the heat

358
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: and a great chance for us to take a look

359
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: at Michael Pennock Junior. And yes, that is Kirk Cousins

360
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: still in Atlanta as the highest paid backup quarterback right

361
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: now in NFL history. Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pelaceral,

362
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Cameron Wolf here in Flowery Branch. Tell me right now, Cam,

363
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: your initial reactions about Michael Pennick Junior. You got to

364
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: talk to Rahee Morris. What is the vibe around the

365
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: first time full time starter in Atlanta?

366
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 14: Tom, I don't know if it was us, but Michael

367
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 14: Pennock's put on a show today. He knew that the

368
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 14: rain was not going to stop that fiery arm coming out.

369
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 14: And I talked to his offensive coinator, Zach Robinson right

370
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 14: after practice and he said, did you see Michael Pennocks today? Yes, Zach,

371
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 14: we saw Michael Pennocks today. He had a great day.

372
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 14: When one of the highlights was throwing a deep pass

373
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 14: into the end zone to Kyle Pitt's perfect touchdown placement,

374
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 14: and he's talked this offseason about how there's going to

375
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 14: be more of those throws to Kyle Pitts throughout the season. Look,

376
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 14: I'm not trying to sell you, but if there is

377
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 14: a hint of a Kyle Pitt's revival, we got it today.

378
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 14: And look, Michael Pennis has a level of intelligence that

379
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 14: his coaches rave about. Robinson, the offensive coiner told me

380
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 14: he was with Matthew Stafford with the Rams and said

381
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 14: the way he studies and processes and handles the amount

382
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 14: of plays they give him is similar to what they

383
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 14: had in Stafford in LA And that rose myes quite

384
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 14: a bit. And you talked about Rahee Morris. He talked

385
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 14: about Michael Pennix into year two. We forget he came

386
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 14: in in December last year. He hadn't practiced with the

387
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 14: starting offense at all. Now he gets a full off

388
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 14: season with the starters and we're starting to see his aura,

389
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 14: his bond with teammates. I know they had Michael Vick

390
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 14: and Matt Ryan spend some time with him this offseason

391
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 14: to help him. This is his team, no matter what.

392
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 14: Kirk Cousin's there him, but he is the clear backup.

393
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 14: Michael Pennix is the guy you.

394
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: Mentioned the connection with Kyle pittch that's a connection that

395
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: has been brewing for quite some time. And talking to

396
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: people here, Michael Pennix Junior and Kyle Pitts are very close.

397
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: Pitts went through some things physically through the course of

398
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: the off season. Obviously the last couple of years ever

399
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: since he had the mcl tear haven't been the best.

400
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: But he looks great physically. Pennicks and Hits golf together,

401
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time together off the field. You

402
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: never want to get ahead of it here when you're

403
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: talking about a player who, at least if you're a

404
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: fantasy football owner, may have underwhelmed in recent yearship, but

405
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: it seems like if Pitt's is going to make himself

406
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: some money and he's got a chance to, this could

407
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: be the year.

408
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 14: Yeah, And talking to people here, it sounds like Kyle

409
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 14: Pitts is indeed healthy. He caught that touchdown pass we

410
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 14: talked about today, And I talked to some people about

411
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 14: the trade rumors we heard all off season about Kyle Pitts.

412
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 14: From what I understand, they never were shopping Kyle Pitts.

413
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 14: They said that we yes, we got some calls, but

414
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 14: nothing enough for us to pull the trigger. We anticipate

415
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 14: him being a big part of our offense, along with

416
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 14: Drake Lennon, along with b John Robinson in and this

417
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 14: Falcon seems excited about the potential there.

418
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: And when you look at this Falcons.

419
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 14: Team, they haven't made the playoffs in twenty seventeen, they

420
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 14: have a certain hunger. We talked to Jesse Bates, we

421
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 14: talked to AJ Trell and they're like, we gotta get

422
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 14: over the hump. Got a new defensive coidinator and Jeff Olbrich.

423
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 14: They feel they have clear communication and there's a certain

424
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 14: buzz that comes from their rookie pass rushers James Pierce

425
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 14: Junior and Jalen Walker.

426
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. Pierce has got an edge.

427
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: He got in a little scuffle.

428
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 14: Today and it wasn't the first one he's at in camp,

429
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 14: but that's what they want.

430
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: They want a little bit of the edge, a little

431
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: bit of that energy.

432
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 14: He's been a force off the edge with his speed

433
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 14: and now he's been able to contribute and they expect

434
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 14: him and Jalen Walker to both be huge impact players

435
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 14: in year one.

436
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Walker got out on the field in team drills

437
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: for the first time his nurse in a very minor

438
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Nothing to be concerned about. Aj Trell sent

439
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: down with Brian Baldinger and I asked him about what

440
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: was it like seeing those guys drafted. Him and Jesse

441
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: Bates were together at the Falcons draft party. Drell said

442
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: he was just lighting up with a big smile. They

443
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: were excited a couple of guys rushing the pastor who

444
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: can make their jobs easier. Cam Wolf, thank you very much.

00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Jackson does a whole lot more than signing autographs here.

456
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: What are the expectations not just for that talented offense,

457
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: but a defense that was up and down in twenty

458
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: twenty four. It might be the key in twenty twenty five.

459
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: We'll dig into a next on the insiders.

460
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 6: Ravens had a red zone drill during practice yesterday at Mt.

461
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: Banks Stadium.

462
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 6: And imagine the defense are stacking the box because expecting

463
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 6: this guy, Derek Camery to come downhill at you, because

464
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 6: why not, That's what you would do in the tight

465
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 6: red zone.

466
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: And the next thing you know, he runs.

467
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 6: A real route to the right sideline and catches a

468
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 6: ball over a defender.

469
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: You can't. How are you going to plan for both

470
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: of those things?

471
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 6: That's what the Ravens were working on yesterday during this

472
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 6: practice here at M ANDT Banks Stadium. Judy Batista, as

473
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 6: I bring you in with me, Mike Garatfoalo to talk Ravens.

474
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 6: It's just I say it every year I talk to

475
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 6: the Ravens fans when I'm at camp.

476
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: They asked me, oh, how do you think our team's

477
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: going to do.

478
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 6: That's one of the camps where you can say I

479
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 6: think your team is going to have a good season

480
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 6: and You're not going to look like an idiot because

481
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 6: they are a competitive year in and year out, one

482
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 6: of the teams that are around the league people look

483
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 6: at and are so impressed with their ability to keep

484
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 6: that talent level right where it needs to be, Judy,

485
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 6: from the veterans all the way down to the rookies.

486
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 6: Malachi Starks apparently has been a revelation so far since

487
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 6: he's been there, going to be a big part of

488
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 6: what they do. And then they add to the mix

489
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 6: by going out and signing jay r Alexander, who had

490
00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 6: a couple of picks on Saturday.

491
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 7: They're loaded again, Judy, they are loaded again. They were

492
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 7: loaded last season. They have come so so close. I mean,

493
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 7: just right, Mark Andrews, I don't want to just call

494
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 7: him out, but right if he doesn't drop that, we

495
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 7: might be talking about an entirely different thing. They're loaded.

496
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 7: They are one of the teams that you really look

497
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 7: at and say they could be the Super Bowl champions.

498
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 7: Lamar just had out of this world. When you go

499
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 7: back and look at his numbers from last year, they're staggering.

500
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 7: They added DeAndre Hopkins, who's not going to be the

501
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 7: number one receiver, but he still has something. They've been

502
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 7: trying to get him to the Ravens for years. They

503
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 7: added so much on the defense, and we don't talk about.

504
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 8: Kickers on this show.

505
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: Effort.

506
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 8: I want to shout out the kicker, rookie Tyler Loop.

507
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 7: In that practice at M and T, he made all

508
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 7: eleven of his field goal attempts, including a sixty order.

509
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 7: He's the only kicker on the roster. They are, of

510
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 7: course replacing Justin Tucker, who they moved on from in

511
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 7: the off season, but who is a Hall of Fame

512
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 7: caliber kickers.

513
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 8: Certainly last year he struggled.

514
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 7: They lost some games because of Justin Tucker last year,

515
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 7: which is not something you would have ever said before

516
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 7: in his career. So Tyler Loup is in there theoretically

517
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 7: competing for the job, but certainly no other quicker on

518
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 7: the roster, and with that kind of leg that he's

519
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 7: showing off in practice, certainly seems like he's going to

520
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 7: be the guy. This team is set really at every position.

521
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 7: You just feel like they just need a break to

522
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 7: go their way at the right moment and they'll get

523
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 7: over the hump.

524
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 6: Yeah on Loop, and that was one of the biggest

525
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 6: ovations of the day yesterday, that sixty yarder that he hit.

526
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 6: I don't want to make too much of it, right,

527
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 6: it's a practice, but the first time in front of

528
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 6: the fans, they put a little pressure on him to

529
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 6: see if he can hit.

530
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 8: It from sixty and he absolutely nailed that.

531
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 6: He's been hitting the ball extremely well, So just a

532
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 6: little bit of pressure that he responded to. That's a

533
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 6: great sign because when you're filling in for Justin Tucker,

534
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 6: and I understand that Tucker struggled mightily last year, but

535
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: when you're filling in for a guy who's potentially a

536
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 6: future Hall of Famer, or at least was from that

537
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 6: standpoint for most of his career. Yeah, you want to

538
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 6: be able to perform that way.

539
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: You want to be performed that way.

540
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 6: Well, by the way you saw it on the bottom

541
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 6: of the screen, Lamar Jackson didn't practice today again, this

542
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 6: is footage from yesterday. But did not practice today in

543
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 6: excused absence. No reason for any concern out there in

544
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 6: Owings Mills apparently. So yeah, Ravens loaded once again. Ian

545
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 6: looking to get over that postseason hump.

546
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: I'm not sure the Raiders are quite ready to talk

547
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 5: about postseason yet, but maybe because there is a new

548
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 5: sort of respectability. I would say to the Las Vegas Freers,

549
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 5: they got Pete Carroll joined us today on inside training

550
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 5: camp bline, and they got that guy right there, Gino Smith,

551
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: instant credibility for this Raiders offense and really the kind

552
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 5: of thing if this team is going to turn it around,

553
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 5: like so many in this building want to and believe

554
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 5: they can, part of it's going to be.

555
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: Because of him.

556
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 5: Talk to Gino Smith earlier in the day, Me and

557
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: my good buddy Omar Ruiz ask Gino how close is

558
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 5: this team right here to winning.

559
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 15: I'm always the guy who, like I believe that the

560
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 15: game get settled between the white lines on game day.

561
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 15: But you know, from my advantage point, we got a really,

562
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 15: really good team, and I think we're gonna I don't

563
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 15: know if we'll shock anyone inside of this building, but

564
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 15: maybe shock some outsiders and so, you know, but it's good,

565
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 15: like let them sleep.

566
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: I don't want them to see us coming.

567
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 15: Man. We're just working. We're just working, you know, in

568
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 15: the shadows right now, you know, getting our game right.

569
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 15: And when it's time to go into those bright lights,

570
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 15: I think we'll be ready.

571
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if people are really sleeping on the

572
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 5: Raiders Omar Ruiz, but.

573
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: You know, because they do feel like.

574
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 5: Kind of the the fun sleeper team for everyone. New coach,

575
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 5: new quarterback, a lot of buzz, some new weapons including

576
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 5: eshen genty, which we'll get to in a second. You've

577
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: been here with me all day, gotten the landscape of things.

578
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 5: We watched practice very intently. How real do you feel

579
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 5: like the Raiders are They have a chance.

580
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 10: I think this story for their season will probably be

581
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 10: what sort of support Max Crosby gets defensively, how that

582
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 10: group can come together with the weapons around Crosby, Patrick Graham,

583
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 10: the continuity that he brings as defensive coordinator. And you

584
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 10: talk about Max Crosby, he is the player that Pete

585
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 10: Carroll identified that is the leader of this team. That

586
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 10: he comes in to work early, first one here, last

587
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 10: one to leave. It's not a cliche, it's what actually

588
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 10: happens here with the Las Vegas Raiders. And you just

589
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 10: see him out here with the pads, relentlessly, with his

590
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 10: effort in every drill that he does. And it's not

591
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 10: just the production that he shows on Sundays and is

592
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 10: why he got the big blockbuster extension in this offseason.

593
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 10: It's the way he leads, it's the way he elevates

594
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 10: others around him in leadership positions. And it reminds me

595
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 10: of a conversation I had with Max a couple of

596
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 10: years ago when Tom Brady was first getting mentioned as

597
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 10: a potential minority owner for this organization, and he talked

598
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 10: about developing leaders around him. He said that was an

599
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 10: important message that Tom Brady shared with Crosby. He has

600
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 10: lived at the last couple of years, and if they

601
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 10: can get production from outside of guys like Max Crosby,

602
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 10: I think that defense has a chance.

603
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 5: I was standing all the way. We're basically at one

604
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 5: end zone, sitting here. The other end zone is, you know,

605
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 5: one hundred guards away. I'm standing there and I'm watching

606
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 5: the defensive linemen and linebackers do sprints and who is

607
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 5: leading the sprints? But Max Crosby, I mean, he's in

608
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 5: his you know, he's deep into his veteran years and

609
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 5: he is still showing these young guys.

610
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: How to do it.

611
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 5: And you know, if they are going to turn around,

612
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 5: it's going to take some of that, and it's going

613
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 5: to take some of Gino Smith.

614
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: You know, when we talk to him.

615
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 5: He mentioned that he parrots the words of Pete Carroll

616
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 5: to try to show some of these young guys how

617
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 5: it's done. If they're going to win, some of their

618
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 5: super talented young guys like Brock Bauers and Ashton Gent,

619
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to really play and contribute. I mean,

620
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 5: Genty's going to have to be right off the bat,

621
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 5: really good. But from what we've heard today, sounds like

622
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 5: all systems go for that.

623
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 10: All reports indicate that Ashton Genty is every bit the

624
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 10: running back that they had hoped for him to be.

625
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 10: When you talk about leading guys in sprints, I thought

626
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 10: it was especially notable for Ashton Genty when they would

627
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 10: make the plays through the line of scrimmage and he

628
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 10: would run all the way to the end zone, emulating

629
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 10: that he's going to be a big game, big play

630
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 10: type of player from the get go. And it's not

631
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 10: just how he plays on the field. He does run

632
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 10: with power and passion. It's what he does off the field,

633
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 10: how he leads, how he understands his teammates and does

634
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 10: all the little things right. Everybody's been impressive with who

635
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 10: he is as a person, just as much as who

636
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 10: he is as a player, So expectations just like they

637
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 10: were with Brock Bauers, and he lived up to it

638
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 10: his rookie season. Expectations sky high for Ashton Gent as well.

639
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, there are several lean draft years for this team.

640
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 5: Certainly got it right last year. Seems like early returns

641
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 5: are got it right this year. And you know, a

642
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 5: lot of these guys are gonna have to come in,

643
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: They're gonna have to play because there's just not There's

644
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 5: Maxcross been the couple. They're not a ton ton of

645
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 5: veterans here to really kind of bear that burden. So

646
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 5: it is going to have to be the young guys

647
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 5: with their you know, let's say slightly older but still

648
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 5: unbelievably energetic coach Pete Carroll helping shape them.

649
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: Certainly seems like.

650
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 5: The kind of place that could turn it around a

651
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 5: little bit and quickly. Omark, been fun hanging out with

652
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 5: you all day. Really have loved that.

653
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: Cheers.

654
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 4: I wish this work.

655
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: I wish this were beers, but they're not microphones. The

656
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: Browns quarterback Free for All continues in Maria, Ohio at

657
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: training camp. Shador Sanders back on the field today after

658
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: dealing with arms swords over the weekend. The guy in

659
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: the foreground number eight, Kenny Pickett, also back out there,

660
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: albeit in a limited fashion. He caught up with our

661
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: Kibbi check some Mark Cross.

662
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 12: We got to start with a hamstring. How are you feeling?

663
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 12: We know you're throwing over the weekend and just some individuals.

664
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 12: How's your helps today?

665
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's getting better each today. I can get in

666
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 16: some do some seven on seven today. So kind of

667
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 16: progressing well, doing the rehab treatments, all the stuff in

668
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 16: the weight room to get.

669
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 4: Back as fast as possible.

670
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 13: Have you ever had a hamstring injury or injury that

671
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 13: kind of puts you behind in a competition like this?

672
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 4: No, this was the first I was shocked at it happened.

673
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 16: I mean I was running a lot and training hard

674
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 16: coming into camp, so I felt like I was I

675
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 16: must have been lacking somewhere to have a soft tissue

676
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 16: injury like this. So it's a frustrating thing. But you know,

677
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 16: like I said, I don't have experience with it, so

678
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 16: listening to the trainers and the doctors has been the

679
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 16: most important thing. I can't have any setbacks, you know,

680
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 16: I feel like I'm progressing really well, So just focus

681
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 16: at a day at a time. Now.

682
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 12: Of course, a lot of the national media conversation around

683
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 12: the Browns this training camp has been that four quarterback competition. Obviously,

684
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 12: you know, you guys are all learning from each other,

685
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 12: but you're all competing for that number one job. You've

686
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 12: been very vocal in saying you want that starting spot.

687
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 12: How do you think you stand, obviously knowing you've had

688
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 12: to be sidelined for a little bit.

689
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's it's still early. You know, every guy in

690
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 16: that room wants the spot. You know you wouldn't be

691
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 16: in there, So I think it's a great group to

692
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 16: go to work every day to compete with. With where

693
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 16: I'm at right now, I'm just trying to get back

694
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 16: as fast as possible, taking the mental reps when I'm

695
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 16: not in there. I'm really happy that I'll get some

696
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 16: seven on seven to get back to going through reads

697
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 16: and making throws on time.

698
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 4: So it's a good step for me.

699
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 13: Today, Let's talk about some good stuff. I think people

700
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 13: forgot you're a super World champion. Yeah, and of course

701
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 13: we saw the unveiling of the rings and have you

702
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 13: have you broke gearers out walking around the facility shown

703
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 13: it all or you kind of let that go and uh,

704
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 13: part two of that, what did you learn from your

705
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 13: experience in Philly? Is such a you know, world class organization.

706
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, definitely definitely turned the page. My in laws

707
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 16: were in town this week, they got to see it,

708
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 16: so that was pretty cool. But you know, as far

709
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 16: as being here now and looking back on what I learned,

710
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 16: I think seeing how a player driven team can take

711
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 16: you a really long way. The habits that each guy had,

712
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 16: the habits that each position group had that you saw

713
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 16: after practice, before practice, in the meeting rooms with the quarterbacks,

714
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 16: it goes a really long way. So that's just something

715
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 16: that we're trying to build here. Uh, you know, player driven,

716
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 16: make the system our system and you know go from there.

717
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 12: Have any of the guys inside of this locker room

718
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 12: come to you and asked about that championship pedigree and

719
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 12: try to pick your brain on. Obviously you saw that

720
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 12: success last season in Philly, how you guys can replicate

721
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 12: that here in Cleveland?

722
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

723
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 16: Absolutely, you know, guys just wondering. I mean there's no secret, really,

724
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 16: I can't. You know, there's nothing that we did, It's

725
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 16: just you know, just work. You know, that's that's I

726
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 16: guess that's the secret. It's just the hard work that

727
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 16: guys put in.

728
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 15: Uh.

729
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 16: We had great players on that team obviously defense and offense,

730
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 16: so you know you need all three phases to go

731
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 16: to go win it.

732
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 4: So I think we have a lot of great pieces

733
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 4: here as well.

734
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 13: What are your impressions of Kevin Stefanski's offense and how

735
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 13: do you think once you get back that you're going

736
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 13: to say, you know what, these are the skills, these

737
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 13: are the talents that I can bring that I deserve

738
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 13: to be the starting quarterback here.

739
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

740
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 16: I think it's a really quarterback friendly system to play

741
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 16: to play in. You know, we're gonna run the ball, well,

742
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 16: we're gonna have play actions off of it. We're gonna

743
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 16: move the pocket. You know, I can extend and do

744
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 16: things with my legs. I feel like it's a strength

745
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 16: of my game. So there's a lot of things that

746
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 16: I think fit in what I do well. Obviously, when

747
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 16: I'm healthy, I could show that more like I did

748
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 16: in the first the first week, but now you know,

749
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 16: with the injury, I think I can play from the

750
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 16: pocket and really be more diligent through reads and progressions

751
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 16: and finding check down so just another aspect of my

752
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 16: game that can try to improve on.

753
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 12: Can you also speak to your relationship with your new

754
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 12: offensive coordinator and Tommy Rees. Obviously he was with this

755
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 12: organization last season as the tight ends coach, but two

756
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 12: of you kind of coming in together, right, can you

757
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 12: can you speak to that relationship.

758
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 16: I was a fan of Tommy's when he was at

759
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 16: Notre Dame playing. You know, I grew up a big

760
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 16: Notre Dame fan, so I knew Tommy a long time ago.

761
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

762
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 16: The fact that you know now on playing form is

763
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 16: pretty cool, full full circle moment. But he's awesome, Like

764
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 16: it's it's great to have a guy in the room

765
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 16: that played the position that understands what we're seeing and

766
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 16: what we're going through. Uh, you know, down by down,

767
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 16: play to play. So having that insight on top of

768
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 16: what he already knows x's and O wise from being

769
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 16: a coach, I think is really awesome. So he does

770
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 16: a great job of prepping this every day and making

771
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 16: sure where he's prepared as we can be each practice.

772
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 3: Right.

773
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 13: Following up on relationships, it's so about your off the

774
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 13: field relationship. I'm a Princeton grad. Kenny's wife is a

775
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 13: Princeton grad.

776
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: If you notice.

777
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 13: So just talk about how you've had to step your

778
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 13: game up just on the field, but off the field

779
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 13: and dealing with a Princeton alone.

780
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm big on the reunions every year. We go

781
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 16: back every year and see all her friends and you know,

782
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 16: it's awesome. And she played soccer there, So having someone

783
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 16: in your life that you know had the same goals

784
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 16: and drive as you. And now she's doing private equity

785
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 16: with a company still based out of Pittsburgh. So it's

786
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 16: great to you know, have someone like minded like you

787
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 16: in a relationship where you're going through life together, you know,

788
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 16: through the trials and tribulations that always has your back.

789
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 4: So, you know, shout out to Amy, love you.

790
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 12: I'm like, how do I follow up on a football

791
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 12: question out there? After we get after we get a wife,

792

Speaker 12: shout out there. But last one for you here, Kenny.

793
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 12: You know your career since twenty twenty two when you

794
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 12: were drafted, right, you've now seen three organizations. What's next

795
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 12: for you? And cementing your name in the NFL and

796
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 12: really wanting to be in an advantageous position not only

797
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 12: as a quarterback but a leader of a franchise.

798
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think it just starts with where I'm at today,

799
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 16: you know, winning a job. That that's really you know,

800
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 16: the only thing I'm focused on, and that just goes

801
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 16: day by day.

802
00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: You know.

803
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 16: I understand I have the end and all that, but

804
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 16: it doesn't really bother me. I just show up every

805
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 16: day and work as hard as I can be to

806
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 16: be the best player, you know, and we'll see where

807
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 16: the chips fall.

00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,680

Speaker 1: the Insiders. Tom Pelisero, Ian Rapaport, Judy Batista, and Mike

817
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: garafalo Ian. You spent the day out there with the Raiders, who,

818
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: like everybody else in the AFC West, the AFC as

819
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: a hole for that matter, are chasing those Kansasity Chiefs.

820
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 5: And they sure are, and you talk to so many

821
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 5: people around the league, as we've all done for the

822
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 5: last two weeks, really just talked to everyone about football

823
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 5: and what every other.

824
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 4: Team is doing.

825
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 5: We've heard about the Kansasity Chiefs is kind of like,

826
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 5: and I'm not saying here, not at the Raiders, but

827
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 5: a lot of other places I've been, Well, yeah, the

828
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 5: Chiefs offense has been a little pedestrian in the last

829
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 5: couple little bit. Having watched their practice, having talked to

830
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 5: their people there, and got to look at Rashid Rice,

831
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 5: who we know is probably going to be suspended to

832
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 5: start the season.

833
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: But looks excellent.

834
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 5: You see the slim down version of Travis Kelcey and

835
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 5: some of the other receivers that they have. They seem

836
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 5: to me at a point, guys, where they are probably

837
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 5: primed to get back to where they have been offensively.

838
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 5: That's been like my biggest takeaway from the Chiefs, from

839
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 5: watching them practice, from talking to the people and talking

840
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 5: to other people around the league. This is a team

841
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 5: that you took a little break from being the high

842
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 5: powered team and now is ready to get back there.

843
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, when.

844
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 5: I saw him, it looked about as good at playing

845
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 5: the position a quarterback as you possibly can during training camp.

846
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 5: It is, in the words of one staffer, there the

847
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 5: best receiver room they have had. I know, it's been

848
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 5: kind of odd for the Chiefs that they've rebuilt their

849
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 5: defense and kind of won somehow some way, those times

850
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 5: to me feel like they are over and the Kansas

851
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 5: City Chiefs Judy seemed to be ready to roll on offense.

852
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 7: Well, here's another team that hopes to challenge the Chiefs,

853
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 7: the Pittsburgh Steelers. You know, when Tom and I were

854
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 7: in La Trobe at Steelers camp last week, Aaron Rodgers

855
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 7: brought this up. How much he likes offensive coordinator Arthur

856
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 7: Smith's flexibility. He's not rigid and what he's doing. He's

857
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 7: trying to tailor the scheme to the personnel they have.

858
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 7: They're still in the process of figuring out what everybody

859
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 7: does well and what they want and how they're going

860
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 7: to put that offense together. Today, Arthur Smith told our

861
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 7: buddies at the Pittsburgh Post Gazette that he.

862
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 8: Has had to adapt his offense.

863
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 7: He actually credits his dad, who was the founder of FedEx,

864
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 7: for being adaptable. Just remember that when he was in

865
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 7: Tennessee with the Titans, it was a pretty run heavy offense,

866
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 7: and then when he went to Atlanta, the offense.

867
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 8: Never really got going. Last year when he was in Pittsburgh.

868
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 7: With Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, the offense just wasn't

869
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 7: explosive enough.

870
00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 8: That was a problem.

871
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 7: Now he's got a forty one year old quarterback, lots

872
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 7: of weapons, Johnny Smith who he had in Tennessee as well,

873
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 7: Pat Fryarmooth, DK Metcalp. Going to be interesting to see

874
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 7: how they put this together again. Still a work in

875
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 7: proprest because they got a little bit of a late

876
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 7: start because Aaron Rodgers signed so late.

877
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 6: Mike Judy, I am in studio in Englewood, California today

878
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 6: because I was at the Chargers camp earlier today. Man,

879
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what I remember being there a year

880
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 6: ago and seeing a lot of holes in the roster,

881
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 6: like wide receiver. They needed to rebuild that room.

882
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: They've done so.

883
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 6: Much work over the last year, and they feel so

884
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 6: good about where they are from a roster standpoint, and

885
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 6: they could still add speaking of wide receivers, Keenan Allen,

886
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 6: their old friend, worked out for them the other day.

887
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 6: Jim Harball telling the media that it was a good workout. Still,

888
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 6: Joe Hortiz, the general manager, working with Allen's representation see

889
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 6: if they can come to an agreement on a signing.

890
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 6: Would not be surprised if that happened at some point

891
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 6: in the near future, but we'll see. As for Najie Harris,

892
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 6: Harball saying that he is doing some laps walking around

893
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 6: the field. No timeline yet for his recovery. Remember his

894
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 6: agent called it a superficial injury to his eye, that

895
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 6: fireworks injury that was the understatement of the year. Clearly

896
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 6: a serious injury here to naj Harris again, no timeline

897
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 6: yet for his return to the field. And then Denzel Perryman,

898
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 6: This is good news for the Chargers. He was released

899
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 6: from custody. Harball cit he went and visited Perryman, who

900
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 6: was arrested on a weapons charge after two rifles were

901
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 6: found in his trunk after.

902
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: He was stopped.

903
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 6: He was released from custody today with TMZ reporting that

904
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 6: he won't be charged for that incident. So that is

905
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 6: good news for the Chargers, getting Denzel Perryman back, a

906
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 6: key part of a roster that again they feel incredibly

907
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 6: good about this time of year, just like any team, though,

908
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 6: it's got to stay healthy.

909
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: Tom Saints campids to California in a couple of days.

910
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: Still have a joint practice against the Chargers, still looking

911
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: for a quarterback. I was there yesterday with Baldy and

912
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Rhett Lewis. We saw Spencer Ratler, Tyler Schuck rotating the

913
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: early portion of practice. Jake Hayner got a lot of

914
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: work later. The sense I get is the Saints ory

915
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: no rush to figure out who the number one guy

916
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: is going to be. If you had to guess right

917
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: now going into the preseason, you'd say it's probably shucked

918
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: the second round draft pick. He just looks the part.

919
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: You can see him processing. But as one person there

920
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: put it to me, it is still very early. He's

921
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: got a lot to learn, a lot to suss out

922
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,279
