1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: Purty.

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: Pretty rich, that's what we're calling it. See his name

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: is Brock Purty and he is now officially one San

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine is franchise quarterback two paid a very

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: rich man. Will tell you why and how much for

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: Brock Purty's massive, massive payday. Meanwhile, Tennessee Titans star safety

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: Xavier Woods takes time out from his running and owning

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: a Smoothie King to join us on the Insiders and

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: talk about cam Lord and why he finally finally ended

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: up joining his hometown team. And then Adam Rank, our

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: good buddy, joined us as he usually does on a Friday,

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: to talk about his favorite revenge games, including this one,

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: which was just brutal. Not so much this, but what

14
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: happened at the end one is probably a lot worse.

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: No, don't show it, don't show it. Oh we showed it.

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: Dolcome inside with the Insiders in Rapaport, Judy Bautista. There's

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: a lot to get to in today's massive, massive show.

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to mess around.

19
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: Let's start with the big time breaking news that we

20
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: had just moments ago. Sources tell the Insiders that Brock

21
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: Party is very, very rich, unbelievably rich five years two

22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five million dollars on his contract extension

23
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: done by agent Kyle strong In of Brain Sports, one

24
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one million dollars in total guarantees one

25
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five point one million over the first

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: three years of the deal. On its face, the average

27
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: is fifty three million dollars per year. Based on the

28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: new money, he gets fifty five million dollars average per

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: year over the first three years. That is how they

30
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: make all this make sense. Remember brock Party was mister

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: irrelevant signed for seventy seven thousand dollars, now gets a

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty five million dollar extension. You can

33
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: argue all you want about what he's worth. That is

34
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: a franchise quarterback. These numbers do not lie. Perdy has

35
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: been sensational. He has led the forty nine ers to

36
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: almost everything you would want a quarterback to lead you to.

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: And now he gets his contract. So let's bring in

38
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: our good friend. Omar Ruiz recovers the forty nine ers

39
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: very closely for us, and of course Judy Batista. Omar

40
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: I will start with you, how important was this for

41
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers to get this done today.

42
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned just the great story that this is

43
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: the incredible turnaround from Brock pretty being the mister irrelevant

44
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 3: to somebody who has taken that team, one of the

45
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 3: more illustrious franchises in NFL history, to a super Bowl appearance.

46
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: He's played at an MVP type level. And when you

47
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: talk about getting that George Kittle deal done a couple

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, one of the more popular players in

49
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: recent forty nine ers history, and now their franchise quarterback

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: is in place, so there are no discussions if is

51
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: he or is he not going to participate in OTA's

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Will this linger into training camp? We've seen the last

53
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: several years. We saw it with Brandon Auk and Trent Williams.

54
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: Last year, we saw it with Nick Bosa, the year

55
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: before that, Deebo Samuel back to twenty twenty two, a

56
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 3: lot of that bad juju perhaps lingering around that will

57
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: not happen this year with Brock Purdy and George Kittle

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: more recently a couple weeks ago, to get this deal done,

59
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: to have their franchise quarterback in play, somebody that they

60
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: can rally around.

61
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Ian there he runs.

62
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan as well as any quarterback we have seen since.

63
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan has been one of the foremost and premier

64
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: play colors in recent NFL history. Not only that, but

65
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: it's his consistent leadership behind the scenes, whether they're winning

66
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: an NFC championship game and going to the Super Bowl

67
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: or losing a Super Bowl, no matter what they've encountered

68
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: since has been their quarterback. He is consistent and that

69
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: is something else they wanted to build around. Judy Well.

70
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: It always felt like this was moving in the positive direction,

71
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: Unlike as you mentioned Omar in previous years, where a

72
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: contract situation sort of dragged on into very very late

73
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 4: into the summer right up to the start of the season.

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: It never felt like they wanted to let that happen

75
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: With Brock Perdy, not a surprise. He's your franchise quarterback.

76
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: And I've seen a little bit of that reaction Ian

77
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: that you mentioned, people saying, well, is.

78
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 5: He worth it?

79
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: Are they overpaying it? No, they believe he is the

80
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: franchise quarterback. They believed that for quite a long time.

81
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 4: He's taken them to a super Bowl, They've played in

82
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 4: two conference championship games, and I would just remind everybody

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: the market is only going up. This contract puts him

84
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 4: in the top ten of contracts. He's not even in

85
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 4: the top five. There's plenty of money flowing into the teams.

86
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 5: The market is going to rise.

87
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: Other people are going to top his contract, And of

88
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 4: course the salary cap has been jumping in the last

89
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: few years by pretty big chunks. So don't worry about

90
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: brock Purty being a drag on the San Francis for

91
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers wallets.

92
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 5: He is more than worth everything they are paying.

93
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: Him, and the forty nine Ers did shed a bunch

94
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 2: of salaries earlier on this offseason in part to make

95
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: room for this big time brock pretty deal and Tom

96
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: pel Serol mentioned it and a beautifully crafted tweet on

97
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: Twitter earlier today. Pretty showed up. He did what he

98
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: needed to do. He was a good guy in the

99
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: building and now he gets rewarded for that on off

100
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: the field. One of the faces of this San Francisco

101
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers franchise now officially very very rich. Will

102
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: Micah Parsons get very rich? That is a big question, really,

103
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: one of our big time storylines this offseason, probably right

104
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: behind the brock Purty deal which got done today.

105
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: Parsons entering the last year of his deal.

106
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: He has dot everything he could to become one of

107
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: the best defenders in the NFL.

108
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Will he get this new deal? Well?

109
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: COO Stephen Jones spoke to media yesterday and addressed exactly that.

110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 6: You know, I don't comment on slows or far away

111
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 6: or any of that those things. Usually, you know, when

112
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 6: the right pieces, you know, when the right.

113
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 7: Things come together and everybody's ready to do a deal,

114
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 7: then it happens.

115
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 6: And I certainly we want Mike to hear and he

116
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 6: knows we want him here, and.

117
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: I think ultimately we'll get some done.

118
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: Well, that's what the Cowboys have been saying for the

119
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: last I don't know, a month or so, two months,

120
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: maybe three months. It seems every time there's a Stephen

121
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: Jones SoundBite, that's kind of what he says, Let's hold

122
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: off on how close are they Let's figure out, Judy,

123
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: how essential is this for the Cowboys to get done

124
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: before the season?

125
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 5: Super essential? Super essential?

126
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 4: There doesn't seem to be a ton of urgency the

127
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 4: tone of voice there. But as we have been saying

128
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: with all of the contracts that have come before and

129
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: all of the ones that are still to the.

130
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 5: Market only goes up. The price is only.

131
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: Going to go up for Micah Parsons, and he is

132
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: just like brock perty Worth. Whatever they're going to pay him,

133
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: all of the money that they're going to pay him,

134
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: he deserves it.

135
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 5: But the price keeps rising.

136
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: And we had seen this happen in the last few

137
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: contracts with the Cowboys, where again they have let it

138
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: linger linger linger until literally moments before seasons start they

139
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: get contracts done, and you wonder, first of all, how.

140
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 5: Much more they are paying because of that.

141
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: But second of all, you do wonder what kind of

142
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: toll that takes on the team and on the player

143
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: to have this hanging over their head. Now Micah appears

144
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: to be handling it, just buying psychologically, but you do

145
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: wonder if it drags further and further into the summer

146
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: and towards the season, you know, if that weighs on him,

147
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: weighs on the team that this is not done yet.

148
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 5: Certainly it would.

149
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: Becoove the Cowboys, for Michaeh Parson's own sake and financially,

150
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: to get this done sooner rather than later, because they're

151
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: there are other contracts coming behind us.

152
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: And to your point, Judy, you mentioned how much more

153
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: this might cost them going forward to not get it

154
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: done sooner. Just look at Dak Prescott's contract last year,

155
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: taking it all the way up to the start of

156
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: the season, paying sixty million dollars average annual salary at

157
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: this point. Several quarterbacks, several franchise quarterback we just saw

158
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: on today and Brock Purty fifty three million dollars per year,

159
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: not coming close to that sixty million dollars for Dak Prescott.

160
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: Obviously they had Ceedee Lamb taken up to the wire

161
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 3: last year as well, and who knows what sort of

162
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: bad juju we mentioned that for the forty nine ers,

163
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: not wanting to have that with the Trent Williams and

164
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: Brandon Ayuk. Who knows how that bled into the season

165
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: for CD and Dak last year. Avoiding that this time around,

166
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: avoiding that costly late tax. Maybe we could call it

167
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: ian something the Cowboys would look to avoid with this

168
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: Michael Parsons contract.

169
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could just wait until an hour or two

170
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: before kickoff for the opener, and may it be scrambling

171
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: on our phones to send on the tweet and get

172
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: the attention of Game day morning producers because oh my god,

173
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: Mikey Parsons finally got his deal.

174
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: Gotta be fun if that happens, maybe or not.

175
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: Omar, thank you as always for joining us great info.

00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 5: Welcome back to the insiders.

182
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: There's the lineup of international games this season, seven in all, Madrid, Berlin, Dublin, London,

183
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 4: of course, and no team has done more of the

184
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 4: international games than the Jacksonville Jaguars. They, of course are

185
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: going to play in London again this season. Look at

186
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: that very cool collage with the Jaguar on the football field.

187
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 5: Kind of cool. I like it.

188
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: Big Ben is there. They have played fourteen international games.

189
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: That is more than any other team in NFL history

190
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: by quite a large margin. And to talk more about

191
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars, let's bring in our very own Sarah Walsh.

192
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: Now look there is an awful lot to be excited about.

193
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 4: I am personally very excited to watch Travis Hunter, Sarah,

194
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: but what else is there that we should be paying

195
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: attention to with the Jaguars offense?

196
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: So here's the thing.

197
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 8: Travis Hunter, and deservedly so, has gotten so much attention

198
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 8: since this draft and leading up to the draft. But

199
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 8: maybe what's most exciting for Jaguars fans is who Travis

200
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 8: Hunter is going to be paired with when you look

201
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 8: at this offense, because I feel like a little bit

202
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 8: Brian Thomas Junior. Whether it's because the Jags didn't get

203
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 8: where they wanted to go last season or just beat

204
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 8: in a smaller market, I'm not sure that Thomas Junior

205
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 8: gets the attention that he deserved a season ago because

206
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 8: as a rookie, ten touchdowns, more than twelve hundred yards

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 8: and Judy, if you take a look at the company

208
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 8: that puts him with in the Super Bowl era, only

209
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 8: three of receivers have put up those kind of numbers

210
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 8: in their rookie years and that was Jamar Chase, Odell

211
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 8: Beckham Junior, and a guy named Randy Moss. That is

212
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 8: the company that Thomas Junior finds himself in I was

213
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 8: able to speak with Jacksonville's wide receiver this week, and

214
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 8: he told me how much better he even feels already

215
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 8: this year, not having to do the combine, not having

216
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 8: to do all those interviews, just being able to show

217
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 8: up and go to work. He told me he has

218
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 8: focused on being a better leader in year two, and

219
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 8: he is also a locker neighbor. He told me of

220
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 8: Travis Hunter, and I said, well, what advice would you

221
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 8: give to him? You just went through the rookie experience,

222
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 8: And he said, I would tell him to take care

223
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 8: of his body because it's such a long season. And

224
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 8: I said, you know, when your head was swimming that

225
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 8: first year and you still put up incredible numbers, what

226
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 8: would it have.

227
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 5: Been like if you were in these receiver room.

228
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 8: Meetings and then, by the way, had to get up,

229
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 8: go out, go in the defensive meetings. He said that

230
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 8: he called that situation quote very wild to me. But

231
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 8: he said what he noticed about Hunter or ready somebody

232
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 8: that he said he clicked with.

233
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 5: He said, he's.

234
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 8: Already seen just how detail oriented this player is, which

235
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 8: bodes well if you have to go to eight hundred

236
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 8: meetings a day.

237
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: Judy, I am with you also that we should be

238
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 4: paying a lot more attention to Brian Thomas Junior this season.

239
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 5: All right, Sarah, to make all of this work.

240
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: Of course, it's going to be Liam Cohen's offense. How

241
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: are they receiving Cohen's offense so far?

242
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 8: Well, I got a chance to watch Liam code here

243
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 8: and Tampa reinvigorate the Bucks offense, took him to a

244
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 8: top five scoring offense, and then he got a run

245
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 8: game going that had long been missing here in Tampa Bay.

246
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 8: Since I was talking to Thomas Junior this week, I said, look,

247
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 8: I know that you haven't spent a lot of time

248
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 8: with him, but what are some of the things that

249
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 8: you've picked up already? And he said, one of the

250
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 8: things he's sort of hammered these guys and in very

251
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 8: short time is he wants them to be able to

252
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 8: have an answer to everything that's going on, why we're

253
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 8: calling a certain play, why we're seeing a certain defense.

254
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 8: He also told me what's really stood out to him

255
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 8: is how active he is with the players.

256
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 5: And I said, well, what do you mean by that?

257
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 8: And he said, he's just actively around the guys. He said,

258
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 8: is communications over little things has made him stand out

259
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 8: so far. He told me that there is an energy,

260
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 8: there is an atmosphere around that building, and they hope

261
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 8: that it bodes well for a successful season in Jacksonville.

262
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 8: By the way, Judy, they open up the ear you

263
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 8: were talking about the London games. They're going to open

264
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 8: up against the Panthers. And that's interesting because it pits

265
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 8: the Bucks former two offensive coordinators who each spent one

266
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 8: year on the job in Tampa and then got head

267
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 8: coaching gigs. So they will meet in week one, which

268
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 8: will be Liam Cohen's NFL head coaching debut.

269
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: I am very much looking forward to seeing what the

270
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: Jacksonville Jaguars look like this season.

271
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 5: Sarah Walsh, thank you very.

272
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 9: Much, ladies and Channel Today. You or like, oh giant,

273
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 9: he could go away. If you're not on that, sure

274
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 9: you're a.

275
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: Live I got a lot of questions. I got a

276
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: lot of questions.

277
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: We don't have enough show to answer all the questions

278
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: I have about that.

279
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: We just watched the Broncos announcing their schedule.

280
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: Speaking of Broncos, they are going to be playing on

281
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: Christmas Day, a Christmas Day tripleheader, really fun one.

282
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it.

283
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: Was so fun last year. You know what, let's do

284
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: it again. Three games this time. Yes, I imagine this

285
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: will be our lives from now to eternity, many many

286
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: games on Christmas.

287
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's bring back in our friend.

288
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: Omar ruizl on course with our good friend Judy Batista Omar.

289
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: Let's break down some of the fun schedule things that

290
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: we learned Wednesday, Thursday and then today take us through

291
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: the AFC West.

292
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: What takeaways you had?

293
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, the Kansas City Chiefs taking the

294
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: international stage once again. We've seen in this Patrick Mahomes era.

295
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: They go to Mexico, they've gone to Germany, and now

296
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: they'll go to Brazil. So seeing how Andy Reid and

297
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: the rest of that staff managed the irregular schedules like

298
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: we saw them face last year. Of course, they played

299
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 3: on six different days of the week. In twenty twenty four,

300
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: every day except Tuesday they played. And this year they're

301
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: gonna have seven primetime games. They'll play on Thanksgiving, they'll

302
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: play on Christmas. And from talking to people in that building, yes,

303
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes great break play calling. What they

304
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: do on the field is extraordinary, but it's what Andy

305
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: Reid does behind the scenes, managing this team's workload, how

306
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: they practice, how they work, when to push, when to pull,

307
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: Relying on those veterans like Patrick Mahomes, like Travis Kelce,

308
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: like Chris Jones, pushing those younger players for when they

309
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: do have those mental day practices and it's not as

310
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: physical for them, not to waste time, not to waste reps.

311
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: I look forward to seeing the Chiefs manage that schedule

312
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: again in twenty twenty five. Similarly the Christmas game you

313
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: mentioned Ian the Chiefs and Broncos. The Broncos are back

314
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: in primetime for primetime game schedule. They also have the

315
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: London game against the Jets. Last year, we just saw

316
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: them have two scheduled games for primetime. They had that

317
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: Thursday when they went to New Orleans and Sean Payton's

318
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: homecoming against the Saints. They also had that late one

319
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: against the Browns on Monday Night Football. They also got

320
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: flexed into the first Thursday game against the Chargers. But

321
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: with Bo Nicks and Sean Payton back in the spotlight now,

322
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: they're expecting a big season in Denver in twenty twenty five.

323
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 3: And you know, Sean Payton one of the best coaches

324
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,359
Speaker 3: I have ever seen about managing the collective team's emotional intelligence.

325
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: I look forward to him managing that. But the Broncos

326
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five.

327
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: You know who's also a pretty good team. The Buffalo Bills.

328
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: They have proven once again, even in a year like

329
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: last year, we's theoretically transition here.

330
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: Not a lot of transitioning the Bills schedule all it

331
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: is right there, a lot of fun ones to get through.

332
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Judy to.

333
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: Break down your takeaways from the ABC, specifically the Bills

334
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: and then the Patriots.

335
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Bills actually, I think have a pretty easy path.

336
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: I know Sean McDermott is probably going to yell at

337
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: me when he sees me about saying that. But six

338
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 4: of their first seven games or against teams that did

339
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: not make the playoffs last year, and four of their

340
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 4: final five games or against teams that did not make

341
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: the playoffs last year. Of all the teams that you

342
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: would expect are going to challenge Kansas City for AFC supremacy,

343
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 4: the Bills have by far the easiest strength of schedule.

344
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: I believe they're twenty third overall in the league. The

345
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 4: next closest team is something like the Houston Texans at eighteenth.

346
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: So the Bills have a pretty smooth path to roll

347
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: up a lot of wins and perhaps, in their case,

348
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: finally get home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.

349
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 5: Now let's talk about New England, who is poised.

350
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: It looks, according to the schedule, for a pretty good

351
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 4: bounce back. They have one of the easiest schedules in

352
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: the entire league, thirtieth overall in strength of schedule, and

353
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: there's a stretch in the middle of the season where

354
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 4: they play the Saints, Titans, and Browns in order. That

355
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 4: could be three teams that at that point could all

356
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 4: be starting rookie quarterbacks.

357
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 5: So they've done a lot of.

358
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 4: Work this offseason. In New England, they did a lot

359
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: of roster turnover. Of course, they hired Mike Rabel. Look

360
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 4: for a pretty good bounce back for the Patriots this season.

361
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: It certainly should be.

362
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, a team that does not need to bounce back,

363
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: which needs to steadily improve. The Arizona Cardinas are one

364
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: of the coolest schedule releases.

365
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: Mac Wilson released his song it was.

366
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: Kind of fire, as he said, and we learned about

367
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. The Cardinals schedule right here, go right back

368
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: to omar Omar break down the NFC West, highlighting Cardinals

369
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: and Rams ready to go.

370
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like Judy, you mentioned, Sean McDermott would give

371
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 3: you brief for saying grief that the Bill's schedule was easy. Similarly,

372
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: in not said Jonathan Gannon would give me grief. I

373
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: said the Cardinals schedule was easy, but in their first

374
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: twelve weeks they only faced one team that made the

375
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: playoffs last year, So a great opportunity for them to

376
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: jump out and start quickly, and they may need it

377
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: because down the stretch their last six games of the season,

378
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: five of them are against teams that made the playoffs

379
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 3: last year, including four of them on the road. So

380
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 3: last year we saw them go six and four and

381
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: then down the stretch two and five to miss the playoffs.

382
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 3: They finish eight and nine, third place on the schedule,

383
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: so another good opportunity for them to start quickly but

384
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: finish strong this time around. Similarly for the Rams, kind

385
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: of like the opposite for them. In twenty three, we

386
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: started to see them start three and six. Last year

387
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: they were one in four. We've seen Sean mcvay's teams

388
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: over the years get better as the year goes on,

389
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,239
Speaker 3: but this year, with so much expectations, going toe to

390
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: toe with the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional round of

391
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 3: the playoffs, then getting Davonte, the way that young defensive

392
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: corps has matured, Super Bowl aspirations on the mind for

393
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: the La Rams. Maybe NFC Championship home game, a number

394
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 3: one seed might be on the horizon for them. So

395
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: a quick start for them could be in order. And

396
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: when you look at their first five games, their home

397
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: against the Texans and they're at Tennessee, it'll be cam

398
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: Ward's first home game at Philly, obviously it would be tough,

399
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: and then at home against the Colts and Niners. So

400
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 3: great opportunity for this year the Rams to start fast.

401
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: Right, let's focus in on the Dallas Cowboys.

402
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: They're not gonna let this segment go by without hitting

403
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: Dallas hard.

404
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: There's their schedule right now.

405
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: It's actually a beautiful picture kind of mixing the some

406
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: different Dallas undertones in a couple of different ways.

407
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: I like it.

408
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 2: Good job there, all right, Judy, back to you. Let's

409
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: hit on the NFCS. Give me some more on the

410
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: Cowboys and the Giants.

411
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 4: The Cowboys have a brutal stretch during the holiday season.

412
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: It starts in Week twelve with the Eagles. Then they

413
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: have Thanksgiving, of course, a short week against the Chiefs.

414
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 5: On the road, against the Lions, home.

415
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 4: Against the Vikings, the Chargers, Christmas Day at Washington, all

416
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 4: in a row. Very very tough stretch for the Dallas Cowboys.

417
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 4: Of course, they are in the limelight lots of primetime games,

418
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 4: but that is some lineup of playoff caliber teams, and

419
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 4: then going to their NFC East rival, the New York Giants.

420
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 4: They have the hardest schedule strength of schedule in the

421
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: entire NFL this season, ten games against teams that made

422
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: the playoffs last year, and the first half of the

423
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 4: season is especially tough. It is a lineup of teams,

424
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 4: many of whom had really excellent pass defenses last season.

425
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: The Giants believe they are an improved team, that they

426
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: have a better roster, and that Russell Wilson will play

427
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 4: steadier quarterback, but they really have their work cutout for

428
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: them in the first half this season, and to make

429
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 4: matters even more difficult, the bye week doesn't come until

430
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: Week fourteen. Very very linked by so there's not a

431
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 4: natural opening to make a quarterback change if they want

432
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: to get Jackson Dart in there.

433
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

434
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 2: I know this, Judy, not just because I read the schedule,

435
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: but because every Giants fan I know is texting me

436
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 2: like seriously his schedule as if I'm like standing there

437
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: writing it. I didn't create the schedule. Also, they got

438
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: to play all those teams anyway, so just really matter

439
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: what order it's in. But yes, it's all tough for

440
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: the Giants. I have a funny feeling we will be

441
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 2: discussing this and them a little bit this season. Omar,

442
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: thank you as always for hanging out lists. You mentioned

443
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: Judy stellar pass defense. Let's get to a stellar pass defender.

444
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: That's a pretty nice player, right there. Xavier Woods joining

445
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: us next on The Insiders. We're going to talk about

446

447
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,480

Speaker 2: contract extension his agent Kyle Strong and told the insiders

453
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty one million in total guarantees fifty

454
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: three million average per year based on new money over

455
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: the first three years, though it's fifty five million dollars

456
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: per year. It was all sorts of discussion about the

457
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 2: forty nine ers and how they do contracts and taking

458
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,359

Speaker 2: Judy Batista. There will start off with a very simple

488
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: basic question. Everyone's busy. Obviously, football is on all of

489
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: our minds. You took time away from your smoothie king

490
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: to join us. Who's manning the shop and how has

491
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: that been.

492
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 10: I have a great team, have a great team behind me,

493
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 10: me and my wife, So me and my wife and keys.

494
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 10: We're here in Nashville, but we do have a great

495
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 10: team behind that's running the ship down there in Atlanta.

496
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: I actually want to know what your go to smoothie

497
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 4: order is, but I also have a football question after that.

498
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: You're going into your ninth season, which is long for anybody,

499
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 4: but especially for somebody who started out as a six

500
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 4: round draft pick. So first tell me what your smoothie

501
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: order is, and second of all, tell me what your

502
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 4: advice is to those rookies who are in camp right now.

503
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: No funny thing.

504
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 10: I actually just got my favorite order today.

505
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Was extra but.

506
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 10: It comes with a salu bowl with strawberries, bananas and

507
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 10: blueberries and granola sprinkle some peanut butter on top, and

508
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 10: also the strawberry ad peanut butter. So I had those

509
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 10: two today. That's my favorite. And just you know, some

510
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 10: I tell the rookies, and I've kind of told the

511
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 10: rookies so far. I mean, just enjoy the process. This

512
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 10: is a life changing experience. This game doesn't love you.

513
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 10: This is a is a privilege, and it's definitely just

514
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 10: an opportunity. You can be in here one day out

515
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 10: the next day. I was a six round drift pick,

516
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 10: and so I wasn't promised. It wasn't like I was

517
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 10: going to training camp being a number on the roster,

518
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 10: being on the fifty three. I had to work my

519
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 10: way to it. And so just enjoy the process. Work

520
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 10: every day. Any opportunity that you get, don't give it back.

521
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 10: Don't give it back. Everyone's going to get opportunity, whether

522
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 10: it's in pre season, whether it's in OTA's training camp.

523
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 10: Once you get that chance, don't give it back.

524
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: And so they're just.

525
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 10: Some of the things that small tickets that I just

526
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 10: try to give the rookies.

527
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: Some that's some good advice. And I assume you'll be

528
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: sharing sharing your wisdom with plenty of those guys as

529
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: you kind of mingle back together as the team gets

530
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: together for off season workouts. Uh, you had a pretty

531
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: high profile rookie, cam Ward number one overall pick. You know,

532
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 2: we've spent so much time talking about some of the

533
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: other quarterbacks in the draft, it's almost like this guy, uh,

534
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: the potential superstar quarterback has been overlooked.

535
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: Have you gotten a look at him? Have you met him?

536
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: And what do you think is the potential future face

537
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: of this Titans franchise.

538
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 10: I've got a small glimpse and OTAs you know, we

539
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 10: kind of a part defense in offense and offense. So

540
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 10: I've just kind of gotten a quick look at him

541
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 10: just from you know, whether it's Callie showing some of

542
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 10: the offensive film and team meetings and just saying some

543
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 10: highlights like you guys are showing now. So I got

544
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 10: a small glimps we was and cars I got the

545
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 10: watch a couple of games. You know why the time allowed.

546
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 10: But I mean the head coaches think that he's going

547
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 10: to be a heck of a quarterback. I mean they

548
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 10: wouldn't have selected him first overall if they didn't think so.

549
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 10: And so I think, just as the team overall, we

550
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 10: hope he just comes in and brings us sparking, uplifted

551
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 10: team to where it needs to be.

552
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 4: Uh Well, I wanted to ask you that because you

553
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 4: and cam Ward were both part of a pretty active

554
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: offseason by the Titans. There's a whole lot of new

555
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 4: stuff there. What's the vibe around the team right now,

556
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 4: including cam including.

557
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 10: You just getting back on track, I would say, getting

558
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 10: back on track, getting his team back into this winning ways.

559
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 10: Growing up, I was a tendency Titan fan honestly, so,

560
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 10: I mean my favorite players was definitely was Adie, George,

561
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 10: Chris Johnson, and then Steve Mayn their rest in peace.

562
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 10: That was my ultimately it was my favorite player of

563
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 10: all time. I was number nine all through you football,

564
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 10: So just being on being on the Titans.

565
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: Dream come true for me.

566
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 10: I even wrote that down when I was a youth

567
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 10: being that I want to be on the Titan So

568
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 10: just getting the Tennessee Titans back to the hem winning

569
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 10: ball games. Ultimately, it's just the number one goal. Winning

570
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 10: ball games is the main goal for this team.

571
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: Wait, hang on a second, So you grew up a

572
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: Titans fan. You're obviously still someone we can listen to

573
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: you speak, still someone who cares about this organization.

574
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: This is your ninth season. Why did it take you

575
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: so long to sign with the Titans.

576
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 10: I mean, you gotta be wanting Hell, you gotta go

577
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 10: with I mean draft the Dallas So sometimes you gotta

578
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 10: go where you want it at the time. At the time,

579
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 10: you know, other teams may have wanted me, and so

580
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 10: I went there. But I mean, it's definitely a dream

581
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 10: come true to be able to play for the Titans

582
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 10: team that I grew up watching my first football game

583
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 10: that I could ever remember with Super Bowl and them

584
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 10: coming when you are sure, So that's the first game

585
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 10: I can ever remember watching. So ever since then, I've

586
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 10: just been on Titans fan, has been from Afar always,

587
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 10: you know, kind of look and see what the Titans

588
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 10: doing when I mean other teams. But it's definitely a

589
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 10: dream come true.

590
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 4: All right, let's fast forward to the twenty twenty five season.

591
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 5: The schedule just came out this week.

592
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: The Titans are not in a prime time game this year,

593
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 4: at least not so far. You could play your way

594
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: into it. But as a player, when you looked at

595
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 4: the schedule, what were you struck by?

596
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 5: What are you looking forward to?

597
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 10: I mean, first and foremost, I think any player looks

598
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 10: and sees do hav any prime time games? That's I

599
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 10: think there's any player.

600
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: And then I.

601
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 10: Think players can see do that have the twelve o'clock games?

602
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: Because we don't play time.

603
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 10: I think any player will say they wont a twelve

604
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 10: o'clock game. It's nothing like getting getting finished or getting

605
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 10: done with a game at three or four o'clock and

606
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 10: having the rest of the day.

607
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: I think it's nothing like it.

608
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 10: It's nothing like it. So we have any prime time games,

609
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 10: which we didn't have any prime time games last year

610
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 10: in Carolina, so I was used to it. May I

611
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 10: have experience with that, but getting some twelve o'clock games

612
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 10: is crucial, and it's definitely for I'm getting old with

613
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 10: the man being able to play the gamers and get

614
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 10: home and go tell on that couch.

615
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: It's joy to me.

616
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 10: I take that over four o'clock or you know, some time,

617
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 10: I take it over the prime time. I'm not gonna lie.

618
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: Stars, they're just like us.

619
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: They sit on the couch, they watched football at night.

620
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: I love Exager. Thank you so much for joining us

621
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,960

622
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,760

629
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,160

Speaker 2: coming up in twenty twenty five, like.

631
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: That when you saw right there, like this one right here.

632
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: How many times in the show we're gonna show Mark

633
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: Andrews drop. I hope he is not watching.

634
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: Let's get a little more on the Ravens Ode because

635
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: their star linebacker Rokeewan Smith was on our schedule release show,

636
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 2: hanging out with Richison, telling us what he thinks about

637
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 2: week one.

638
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 11: Well, what was the first game you look for when

639
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 11: you looked at the schedule requa.

640
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 6: The first game of the year. That's how you start

641
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 6: the season off, and that's gonna set the tone for

642
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 6: the entire season. So that's the first game for sure.

643
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: Well that's at the Buffalo Bills.

644
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,720

Speaker 6: get up there in Buffalo and get a little payback

Speaker 11: The Bengals trying to win it from the three yard

656
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 11: line of Denver Burrow looking to throw his pass.

657
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: It is te Claw, my tea.

658

660

Speaker 11: week of the regular season. The Cincinnati Bengals are still alive.

661
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: That was a classic.

662
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: That's one revenge game we're going to see again in

663
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five.

664
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: What about this one?

665
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: We know how this ends isaaa likely with the game

666
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: winning touchdown pass that definitely would have counted except for

667
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: one big toe at a bounds Chiefs and the beating

668
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: the Ravens twenty seven in a game that you know

669
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: the Ravens are just dying, dying to get revenge for.

670
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: Let's bring in our good friend Adam Rank to break

671
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 2: down all of his best revenge games for the twenty

672
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: twenty five season.

673
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: Right, start us off with number one.

674
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're gonna start with number one, and it's once

675
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 7: again going to involve the Baltimore Ravens, but this time

676
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 7: it's going to be going up against the Buffalo Bills.

677
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 7: There's a lot of intrigue. Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs

678
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 7: are the headliners in this situation, and the Bills and

679
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 7: the Ravens kind of play like the supporting act, kind

680
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 7: of like in nineteen ninety one New Year's Eve, I

681
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 7: drove up to San Jose to go to the Cow

682
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 7: Palace to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The two

683
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 7: opening bands, Nirvana and Pearl Jam that's kind of I

684
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 7: don't know who Nirvana is.

685
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't know who.

686
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 7: Pearl Jam is. You guys can debate that later. But

687
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 7: these teams have a lot to offer. Obviously, the Mark

688
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 7: I don't want to listen. You don't have to show

689
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 7: the Mark Andrews thing. I kept thinking about Josh Allen

690
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 7: because he kept Lamar Jackson from claiming his second consecutive

691
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 7: and third total MVP award.

692
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the big one.

693
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 7: We don't need to drag Mark Andrews through this.

694
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: It's a tough play.

695
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 7: I think the two quarterbacks make this a very compelling matchup.

696
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 7: And now it just seems like the Ravens are going

697
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 7: to lead off every season.

698
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: Now, what's the record at a show for most times

699
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: showing Mark Andrews drop on the goal on I don't

700
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: know what it is.

701
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: We're sading it.

702
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: Congratulations, NFL Network, what a record to set. Take us

703
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: rank it's the number two.

704
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 7: Well, this is one I kind of wish they would

705
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 7: have put on Thanksgiving Day. But of course it's going

706
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 7: to be the Chicago Bears playing the Detroit Lions. And

707
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 7: if you think of all the missteps the Bears had

708
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 7: last season, it was the Caleb Williams game. It was

709
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 7: that game on Thanksgiving against the Lions not calling a

710
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 7: timeout in the final eighty seconds. It felt like but

711
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 7: now there's a real there's more. There's more intrigue here

712
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 7: because Ben Jonson is obviously the new head coach of

713
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 7: the Chicago Bears. And let's be honest, the fans in

714
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 7: Detroit are not taking this well as a as matter

715
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 7: of fact, Bee, I know it's new territory for the

716
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 7: Lions to have people come in and poach your coaches.

717
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 7: This is what happens to go to organizations. I'm sorry, Detroit,

718
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 7: you over at chie or not over a chief. You

719
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 7: played very well last year, you got the number one

720
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 7: seed in the NFC. Teams are going to come and

721
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 7: steal your coaches and so this is going to be great.

722
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 7: And you know that Ben Johnson is petty like he's

723
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 7: added in for Matt Lafleur for whatever reason, calling him

724
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 7: out by name. He doesn't like Brian Flores because he

725
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 7: was fired in Miami when Brian.

726
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: Flores was the head coach.

727
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 7: But I think this matchup against Detroit are going to

728
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 7: be key this coming season.

729
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: One thing I really appreciate just of our's overall traits, pettiness.

730
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. Take us to number three rank.

731
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: Why don't we go with a rematch?

732
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 7: A Super Bowl rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the

733
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 7: Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs, obviously, we're going for a

734
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 7: third consecutive Super Bowl, an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl.

735
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: And it wasn't close.

736
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 7: It was not a competitive contest, not at all. The

737
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 7: Philadelphia Eagles ran out to a twenty four to nothing

738
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 7: lead in the first half, never looked back. They were

739
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 7: sort of running up the score, sort of not running

740
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 7: up to score. I don't know if this was ayso

741
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 7: I think Nick Sirianni would have gotten an email from

742
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 7: the board being like, hey, sportsmanship's a big thing. But

743
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 7: at the same time, it's still a Super Bowl. And honestly,

744
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 7: this is one of those things where the Chiefs are

745
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 7: still one of the top.

746
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: Teams in the AFC.

747
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 7: Like, regardless of what happened in the Super Bowl, and

748
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 7: obviously that was a disaster, they're still the favorite to

749
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 7: get back to the Big Game. And now they got

750
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 7: an opportunity to go out there and beat the Philadelphia Eagles.

751
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 7: And I know it's not the same to beat them

752
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 7: in the regular season. It's like one of those old

753
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 7: wrestling matches where it's like, hey, we're fighting on Saturday

754
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 7: Night's main event in a non title match, but it's

755
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 7: still going to be very compelling for the Kansas City Chiefs.

756
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: Weve Saturday night and made them it was Saturday night

757
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: primetime wrestling that was Those were events in my househen

758
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: I got to stay up late.

759
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: It was pretty awesome. Anyway, take us rank to number four.

760
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with a game that we just saw

761
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 7: here in the open, the Bengals and the Broncos. It's

762
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 7: it's incredible because last season that was one of the

763
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 7: most compelling games of the entire year.

764
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: And obviously this is the past.

765
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 7: The t Higgins, the Bengals win this one, and we remember,

766
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 7: like living in this moment. We all remember the vibe

767
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 7: in the AFC was please don't let the Bengals into

768
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 7: the tournament. Nobody wanted to see the Bengals into the tournament.

769
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 7: So this set up a Week eighteen match between the

770
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 7: Broncos and the Chiefs, and the Chiefs are like, yeah,

771
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 7: we're just gonna play some of the backups.

772
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, We're gonna try to win.

773
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 7: I guess I don't know, kind of like when you're

774
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 7: playing your kids in the backyard and you're like, I'm

775
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 7: not trying, you know, I'm not going Draymond Green on

776
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 7: my son here. But at the same time, I think

777
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 7: that the Bengals might have a bigger beef with the

778
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 7: Kansas City Chiefs in this instant, but they get an

779
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 7: opportunity to go against the Denver Broncos. So I think

780
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 7: this is gonna be a very good one. And I

781
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 7: and again is one of the Day one believers. I'm

782
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 7: looking forward to the Broncos going out and proving that

783
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 7: last year was not a flute.

784
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, I like, do we have you on here

785
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: to rank games?

786
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: It'll be like Mead coming on a show and rapping

787
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: because it's out of my name.

788
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 7: I'm in, Yeah, let's let's make that a segment. I

789
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 7: want to see that.

790
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: Let's let's not give us number five rank.

791
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with an NFC East clash. I think

792
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 7: it's gonna be amazing this year. The Eagles and the

793
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 7: Commanders last year. Obviously, this is a repeat of the

794
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 7: NFC Championship game. We're going to be able to see

795
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 7: this a couple of times. And this is a big

796
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 7: question that I have coming into the season. Is Number one,

797
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 7: can Saquon Barkley continue to be the guy that he

798
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 7: was last year? I think for the fantasy aspect of it,

799
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 7: I was bullish on Saquon Barkley last year. I've got

800
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 7: him as my number one player this season. I really

801
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 7: do believe he's gonna go out there and repeat. But

802
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 7: the big question too, what about the Commanders. Is there

803
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 7: going to be a sophomore slump for Jade and Daniels?

804
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 7: Is there going to be a step back? Because in

805
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 7: a way, the Commanders did sort of overachieve. Like remember

806
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 7: they have this second overall pick in the draft and

807
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden they were in the NFC

808
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 7: Championship game.

809
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: Are they really that good?

810
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 7: We'll get an opportunity to find out, Eagles Commanders playing

811
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 7: a couple of times at the end of the season,

812
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 7: and that will probably have the NFC East on the line.

813
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: Cannot wait. If only there was a way to find out.

814
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, watch the games anyway.

815
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: For more from rank nfl dot com, slash revenge. For

816
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: the whole rankings, our good friend Nick Schuck put together

817
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 2: the best twelve person NFL flag football team roster.

818
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: Did it all on NFL dot Com. Some might call

819
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: it a dream team. I don't know. You might call

820
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: it that.

821
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: I mean, this would be a pretty nasty flag football team,

822
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: if I do say so much myself. Which got us

823
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 2: here thinking on the insiders as we bring back our

824
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: good friends Judy btc hent Omar. Ways, all right, if

825
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: you guys are selecting a flag football team.

826
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: Who are you going with first? We will start with Judy.

827
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 4: I would watch Lamar Jackson play checkers, So Lamar Jackson

828
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 4: would absolutely be my first I mean, look at this,

829
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 4: I would watch him play anything.

830
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Lamar Jackson's the first pick.

831
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: All right, good choice.

832
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 3: There is no question in my mind that Tyreek Hill

833
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 3: would be my number one pick. I've always said throughout

834
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: his career. When you watch Tyreek Hill play, it looks

835
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 3: like he is on fast forward. Everybody else is on

836
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 3: regular speed. On the flag football field. I think that

837
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 3: would translate tremendously LA twenty eight, let's go.

838
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: My choice has not even taken the NFL football field yet,

839
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 2: and that is Travis Hunter.

840
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: One spot all the physicians.

841
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 2: We already put him in the Hall of fame based

842
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: on his rookie Mini Camp performance and I'm good with

843
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: that anyway, he is on my team.

844
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: Great show, have a great weekend.

845
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 2: Goodbye everyone,
