Speaker 1: Ian Rapaport with me here tonight. We are gonna hear

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: from a few folks that you're gonna want to stay

Speaker 1: tuned in for tonight. Kyler Murray of the Cardinal's gonna

Speaker 1: join us, Jeffrey Simmons of the Titans, and Byron Murphy,

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: the cornerback for the Vikings, gonna be along as well.

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: He will sit down with Baldy.

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: You know there's gonna be some hardcore football discussion happening there,

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: as there always.

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Is so plenty to get to throughout the show. We're

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: gonna start here with this news.

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: Earlier today from the Rap Report, we knew that Stafford,

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, was dealing with a back injury. Ian with

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: the details an aggravated disc and an epidural to help

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: make that potentially subside and go away. The Rams have

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: been confident all along that he will be ready for

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: week one. But there you see the details. This is

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: nothing to sneeze at. In fact, ian, if you sneeze

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: with an aggravated disc, it hurts very much, as do

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: a lot.

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: Of other things.

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: So give us the breakdown home where Stafford stands and

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: if that confidence that the Rams are expressing for week

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: one is warranted.

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, sir Luman, you're one of the older guys like

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: me and you and Matthew Stafford. All these things become

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: issues back, issues become nagging, and that really is where

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: it stands for Matthew Stafford. We knew that he had

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: to soar back. Some details now have emerged my understanding.

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: As I wrote right there.

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: Aggravated disc something that Matthew Stafford has received an epidole

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: to help him deal with the pain, is not considered

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: to be major and I would expect him to practice

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: sooner rather than later, And as you mentioned, is not

40
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: something to kind of shrug at. He is an older

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: player and these types of things can crop up. And

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: what they've tried to do over the last couple of

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: weeks while he has not been practicing is strength in

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 3: the area around the disc to make sure that when

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: he does get on the playing field, if he gets

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: contorted in the wrong way or hidden the wrong way,

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: that he is going to be fine. They have a

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: good backup quarterback, and Jimmy Garoppolo is someone who I

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: know Sean McVay believes can be a starter once again

50
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: in the league. In fact, that's one of the reasons

51
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: why Jimmy Garoppolo signed there to help his march back

52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: to being a starter. They just hope nobody finds out

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: about it this year because, as he said, Judy, the

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 3: Rams are confident and firmly believed that Matthew Stafford will

55
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 3: be on the field for Week one.

56
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: You know, our buddy Greg Rosenthal asked this on Twitter

57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: x whatever a.

58
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 5: Few days ago.

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: Is it time to panic yet about the Matthew Stafford

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 4: back situation? It seems like the Rams are not panicking.

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: They're definitely not panicking. Part of the reason, of course,

62
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: because we still have a month to go before the

63
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: regular season starts. The other part is because this seems

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: to be as much about management as anything else.

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 5: This is the kind of injury that can linger.

66
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: They obviously want him to feel as good as he

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: possibly can for the start of the season, but it

68
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 4: is the kind of thing they are likely going to

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 4: have to manage throughout the season. Again, he is an

70
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 4: older quarterback back injuries tend to linger, so they are

71
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: going to have to figure out how to get him

72
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: through the season.

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 5: He's going to have.

74
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: To figure out how to get himself through the season.

75
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: No need for panic yet. They are still convinced that

76
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: he will be ready for Week one. As you pointed out,

77
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: Jimmy Garoppolo is there. They've got arguably the best backup

78
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: quarterback situation.

79
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 5: In the entire NFL.

80
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: Still, this is something to keep an eye on as

81
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: we push further into August. He's obviously not going to

82
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: participate in preseason games, but this is a team with

83
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: very real Super Bowl aspirations. The well being of their

84
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: starting quarterback is really important to keep an eye on this.

85
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: JBG had a few options softseason as a free agent,

86
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: decided to go back to the rams Ian. You mentioned

87
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: that Sean McVay thinks extremely highly of him, and even

88
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: if Matthew Stafford is back for Week one and is playing,

89
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: it's not like this is something that could potentially just.

90
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: Boom go away.

91
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: It still could linger into the season, So Jimmy g

92
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: remains an important part of the Rams twenty twenty five season.

93
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: Will Michael Parsons play for the Cowboys in twenty twenty five?

94
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: Will he play Week one for Dallas?

95
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 2: These are the questions that we have amongst others.

96
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: Maybe Andrew Whitworth was trying to get to the bottom

97
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: of here as he was speaking to Micah Parsons yesterday

98
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys our Jan Slater asking Jerry Jones the

99
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: right questions.

100
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: Now, just follow the logic on this one.

101
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: How would you describe a deal getting so to speak,

102
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: done and then walked away from I.

103
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 6: Bought to Dallas Cowboys with a handshake, took about thirty seconds,

104
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 6: and gave the numbers, shook hands. The details we worked

105
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 6: out later. As a matter of fact, one of the

106
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 6: details involved a lot of money and we had to

107
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 6: flip a coin over that. But the fundamental I'm buying

108
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 6: and you're going to sell it to me for that range,

109
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 6: that's done and those are done with eye contact or handshake.

110
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 5: So is there.

111
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 6: It just show you understand why I the way that

112
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 6: I communicate with people that I negotiate with. So let's

113
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 6: leave it at that. There is no question that in

114
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 6: the case of a player or contract, you have to

115
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 6: have it in writing. All parties do we have a

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 6: contract in writing, Yet we're still talking about renegotiating it.

117
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 6: So so much for.

118
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: That fundamental I think that's the way I'm gonna say

119
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: that word from now on. Look, Jerry Jones is saying,

120
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: like an old school guy, right, a deal is a deal.

121
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: If I shake your hand, I look in the eye,

122
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: and we have a deal.

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: And if he did that with David Mullagetta, who is

124
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: the agent for Micah Parsons, I would say, you know what, Terry,

125
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: you got a point.

126
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: I'm on your side on this one. The difference is

127
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: he tried to do it to the player.

128
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: The player didn't understand exactly what was happening, went back

129
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: to the agent. And that's where we are ian at

130
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: that point where Jerry Jones saying I had that deal

131
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: with the player and the agent saying, but you didn't

132
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: have it with me.

133
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: First of all, I was there yesterday and Oxynard watching

134
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: this craziness after practice rams Cowboy's awesome job by Jane

135
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: tracking Jerry Jones down getting the one on one, getting

136
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: the questions that she really wanted to ask, because these

137
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: are the kinds of things that we have all been

138
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: dying to hear from Jerry Jones.

139
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 5: He's talked plenty.

140
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that, but having someone really explain, like,

141
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: what did you think you were doing when you negotiated

142
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: with Micah Parsons without his agent, And in the words

143
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: of Jerry Jones, he was doing a deal like he

144
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: always does. It's very old school, it is very trust oriented,

145
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: and at least you can sort of understand why he

146
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: is thinking it now. The other part of it is

147
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 3: it's not allowed in the CBA, and most teams negotiate

148
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: as they should with the player agents. But at least

149
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 3: we gain the better understanding of what Jerry Jones believes.

150
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: That's they are not close. They have not spoken at all,

151
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: it seems since this meeting, surely not any substantial contract

152
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 3: negotiations between agent. David Mulgetto represents Michael Parsons and is

153
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: one of the best in the NFL landscape and with

154
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones, and until and unless they do that, they're

155
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: not getting anywhere.

156
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 7: Michaeh.

157
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: Parsons has been holding in. He has been there, he

158
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: has been present, He is not getting fined, He is

159
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: protecting his money, but it also doesn't feel like they

160
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: are any closer to doing a deal. And until those

161
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: sides actually have a conversation agent to owner, this is

162
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: where it's gonna stop.

163
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's an episode of the Office where they have

164
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: the murder mystery and they're all kind of the three

165
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: of them pointing the finger guns at each other.

166
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: That's kind of what this feels like at this point.

167
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: Who's gonna blink and who is.

168
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: Gonna decide that we need to have a conversation with

169
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: his certified representation At some point, we'll see Week one

170
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: getting that much closer. Week one of the preseason that

171
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: wasn't last week, that's the Hall of Fame week. Here

172
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: is Week one of the regular season. Yeah, some pretty

173
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: good and pretty interesting storylines to follow here, especially at

174
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. We're gonna get to one of those

175
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: in just the second. Judy, you got the Bengals on

176
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: your mind though.

177
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: Huh Bengals and they are opening the preseason against the Eagles,

178
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: and what's going to be different. Well, we're going to

179
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: see Joe Burrow and a number of starters play in

180
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: this game.

181
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 5: Typically Zach Taylor does not like to play his.

182
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: Starters much in the preseason, but frankly, much of the

183
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: conversation around the Bengals, and much of the flought around

184
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: the Bengals this offseason has been.

185
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 5: About how to get out to faster starts.

186
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: The Bengals are one and eleven in the first two

187
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: weeks of the regular season in Zach Taylor's six seasons.

188
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: They obviously have to get better than that. And one

189
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: thing they are going to try is they're going to

190
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 4: play Joe Burrow for a few series, probably Jamar Chase

191
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: and a bunch.

192
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 5: Of other starters. The players have asked for this.

193
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 4: We have heard them in the offseason and during training

194
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: camp say they want to play in the preseason. They

195
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: think that will help him. Joe Burrow has had an

196
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 4: excellent training camp. He is fully healthy, really for the

197
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: first time in forever. In training camp. This is certainly

198
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 4: a situation where you put your starters out there and

199
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: cross your fingers that everybody comes out healthy, but also

200
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: with a little bit of work.

201
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: They fished what they wished in that regard they were

202
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: going to play. Anthony Richardson is going to play. He

203
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: gets the first crack At making a statement to be

204
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: the Colts starting quarterback in week one of the regular season.

205
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones going to get the start next week, so

206
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: the Colts alternating that they had their depth chart that

207
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: said Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones when it came to

208
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: who was going to be the starter in the regular season.

209
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see this one for Richardson. I

210
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: will be at this game tomorrow night covering it. Richardson,

211
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: you can see him. He looks swelt, he looks lean.

212
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: He improved his diet this offseason. That is half the battle.

213
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: The other half is playing good football and he's got

214
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: to carry any momentum he's had in training camp into

215
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: the regular season into these games.

216
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: They want to see in game situations.

217
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: He played well a couple of years ago against the Eagles,

218
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: showed his ability with even flapping his wings taunting the fans.

219
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: They want to see a little bit of confidence, a

220
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: little bit of swag, and some solid football starting in Baltimore.

221
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: Ian Yeah, mostly the solid football part. For the Indianapolis coach.

222
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: One of the more interesting quarterback competitions no quarterback competition

223
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas and his Gino Smith's team. But that's

224
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: not where all eyes are this Thursday. Obviously, have plenty

225
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 3: of focus on Geno playing these Seahawks, his old team,

226
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: But this is about Pete Carroll, right, I mean, isn't

227
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: this about Pete Carroll going back to play in front

228
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: of his fans, his former team. And you know, you

229
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: could sort of say, like, all right, it's a game,

230
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna just play our guys whatever. Like, talk to

231
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: people close to Pete Carroll. He cares about this greatly.

232
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: He's looking forward to it. You know, the starters are

233
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: not gonna probably play a ton, but he is going

234
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 3: to want to win this game, and he is going

235
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: to want to savor the moment for the place where

236
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: he won a title, had plenty of wins and then

237
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: and did not like anybody wanted. One of the more

238
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 3: fun preseason games on the slate, the Late One on Thursday, Judy.

239
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,119
Speaker 5: All right, let's talk a little business.

240
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 4: Last night, about twenty four hours ago, the ESPN and

241
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 4: the NFL announced that ESPN will buy the NFL Network

242
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: in a deal that will also include ESPN having the

243
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 4: right to distribute NFL Red Zone to pay TV carriers

244
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 4: and also the Fantasy league's ESPN's Fantasy League and the

245
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 4: NFL's Fantasy league.

246
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 5: They will merge.

247
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 4: That is all part of a major deal that will

248
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 4: also have the NFL taking in ten percent stake in ESPN.

249
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 4: Commissioner Roger Goodell appeared on Sports Center earlier today to

250
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 4: discuss the deal.

251
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 5: Here's what he had to say.

252
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 8: We really truly believe this is going to be an

253
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 8: unbelievable experience for our fans. The ESPN and the NFL

254
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 8: Network and other NFL content.

255
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 9: Being able to come together.

256
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 8: As you know, you are so great at understanding what

257
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 8: the fan wants, You're so great at the production side

258
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 8: of this. This will be combined on larger platforms, the

259
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 8: NFL Network as long as well as some of our

260
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 8: other important assets. I think this is just going to

261
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 8: make the experience for our fans even better.

262
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: I talked last night to Robert Kraft, the owner of

263
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 4: the Patriots, who is also the chair of the NFL's

264
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 4: Media Committee. He said this is all about reach, broadening

265
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 4: the reach of the NFL and getting new fans interested

266
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 4: in the NFL.

267
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 5: Important for fans to.

268
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: Know right now, nothing is changing for the twenty twenty

269
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: five season. This still has to be approved by owners

270
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: and by regulators. The regulators could take a long time

271
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: the projection right now as this could go into twenty

272
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: twenty six and perhaps all the way through the twenty

273
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 4: twenty six season, So nothing will change until it passes

274
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 4: through regulators. Everything will stay the same, especially NFL Red

275
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: Zone and the NFL Network.

276
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: Right here, year thirteen for one of the best tight

277
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: ends in the NFL who somehow came back with a

278
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: plan to be even better. We've seen Travis Kelce in

279
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 3: the regular seasons the last couple of years hasn't been

280
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: his best. He's saved that for the playoffs and the

281
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: Super Bowl when that absolutely gotta have it. Came back

282
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: a little skinnier this year with eyes of playing all

283
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: seventeen games at the highest level. So let's listen to

284
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: Travis Kelce tell us all about it.

285
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 10: Trying to win Super Bowls.

286
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 9: Man, that's the only way you get there.

287
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 10: And I think it starts in the offseason and kind

288
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 10: of when you get out here to Saint Joe and

289
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 10: you get in training camp. Man, its just it really

290
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 10: signifies like coming together the chemistry, the culture that you

291
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 10: need to have to keep getting better every single day,

292
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 10: every single week throughout the year and hopefully playing your

293
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 10: best football by December January February.

294
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: Kelsey's right players noticed that. I mean that him losing

295
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: weight and getting ready for the season at place he

296
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: is something his teammates noticed and something the Arizona Cardinals

297
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: are going to notice as well. By the way, that

298
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: is their preseason Week one opponent. I am here right

299
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: now in Glendale. Practice is still going on. I'm watching

300
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: it behind me, and look that guy right there who's.

301
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 7: Going to join us in a little bit.

302
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray has all of his weapons on offense, and

303
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: a lot of the focus nationally and locally has been

304
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior, one of the more talented receivers. First

305
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: receiver taken last year head I would say an okay

306
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: rookie year didn't play quite as fast as his talents,

307
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: And that really has been the focus for Marvin Harrison

308
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: has been playing fast, not thinking, just getting where he

309
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: needs to go, not worrying about being such a perfectionist,

310
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: and then going and attacking the football. And you know,

311
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: this offense has weapons. They got James Connor, they got

312
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: Trey McBride. But if Marvin Harrison is going to reach

313
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: his potential. He's going to be the kind of player

314
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: that he can be. This offense is going to be electric,

315
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: and considering the talent that they've acquired on defensive offseason,

316
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 3: Josh Sweat, Walter Noan, and on and on the hour Zone,

317
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: the Cardinals should be one of these surprise teams of

318
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: the NFL this year.

319
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Mike, Yeah, I saw something on Paris Johnson by the way,

320
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: the left tackle, how good he's been and how good

321
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: he's become.

322
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: He is a stud doesn't get enough credit. Maybe he

323
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: will this upcoming season.

324
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: James Cook looking for credit, Well, he's looking for coin

325
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: like that's the kind of credit that he's looking for

326
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: right now.

327
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: Not practicing again. The hold in.

328
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Continues for Cook, who is looking for a extension off

329
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: of his rookie deal. Again, the notion was that he

330
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: was looking for like fifteen million per year. Kyron Williams

331
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: comes in just now at about eleven, so that seems

332
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: to be more in line with what the Bills had

333
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: in mind with a deal. We've been hearing that these

334
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: sides are not that far apart, or not as far

335
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: apart as maybe a hold in might look. So the

336
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: hope is that at some point in the near future

337
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: it gets done. The Bills set to play the Giants

338
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: this weekend at this point, doesn't look like Cook would

339
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: be part of that. Not sure if he would be

340
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: in the first place anyway, So the sides still trying

341
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: to get this thing done.

342
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: Judy.

343
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 4: Speaking of the New York Giants, they released their first

344
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: depth chart unofficial. As we are constantly reminded, at quarterback

345
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: it looks as you probably think it would, Russell Wilson,

346
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: Jamis Winston, Jackson Dart, and Tommy DeVito. They have not

347
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 4: yet announced how they are going to handle quarterback reps

348
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 4: in the preseason, starting with the Bills Saturday night, but

349
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: I can tell you in talking to some folks around

350
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: the Giants, they spend some time this offseason studying how

351
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: other teams handle their starters in the preseason. For instance,

352
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 4: they looked at Andy Reid, who places starters more than

353
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 4: most of The Giants are focused those first two games

354
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 4: against division opponents really important.

355
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 5: They need to get out.

356
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 4: To a fast start, so don't be surprised if you

357
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 4: see some starters playing, including Russell Wilson, at some point.

358
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,359
Speaker 5: Don't forget, none.

359
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 4: Of these quarterbacks have experience in Brian day Ball's offense.

360
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: Mike, thank you, Judy Elsewhere the Minnesota Viking Minnesota like

361
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: getting ready for this upcoming season, trying to prove that

362
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: last year's record was not a fluke and they can

363
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: run that back with JJ McCarthy, b Byron Murphy Junior

364
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: a big part of what they're doing on defense, the quarterback.

365
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: Sat down with our guy Baldi.

366
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 11: We are live with Byron Murphy Junior at Vikings training

367
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 11: camp here in Egan, Minnesota. This is a nice place,

368
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 11: like my first time out here, Like they know how

369
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 11: to treat people here in Minnesota.

370
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 12: This is definitely one of the best places in the

371
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 12: world to be, especially a football fans just love us,

372
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 12: you know, we love a fan.

373
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 13: So it's just a great culture, a great place to

374
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 13: be for sure.

375
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 11: Skull Skull Skull, Let's get Let's get to the defense,

376
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 11: because the defense tied Pittsburgh for the most takeaways in

377
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 11: the league. You had six of them yourself, You've had

378
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 11: It's really been a nice turn coming here to Minnesota

379
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 11: and playing for Brian. But like before we get into

380
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 11: the intricacies of your defense, Byron, just tell us about

381
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 11: Brian Flores and what what what I mean? If I

382
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 11: was a defensive player, everyone want to come play for him.

383
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 13: That's how I feel for sure.

384
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 12: I would definitely say coach Flood is one of the

385
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 12: best best coaches I've ever been a part of. Obviously,

386
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 12: he put guys in the right position, as you see

387
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 12: guys making plays all around the field. But I feel

388
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 12: like just his players go hard from just because you

389
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 12: know the energy he brings every single day.

390
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 13: But that scheme is just totally different.

391
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 12: You know, coming here, just seeing the playbook, I was

392
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 12: just like, WHOA, I'm gonna have to, you know, get

393
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 12: in that room and study a little bit more. But definitely,

394
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 12: like I said, the best games I've ever been a

395
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 12: part of.

396
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 11: Well, I feel like he started it in Miami and

397
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 11: he had some success and when they when you know,

398
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 11: he spent a year in Pittsburgh and you know, and

399
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 11: then Kevin brought him here along with you and a

400
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 11: bunch of other guys over the last couple of years.

401
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 11: And it's it's really like cemented here, and it's it's

402
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 11: kind of like a Blitz zero look, but then it

403
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 11: could be anything, and so it's it's really disguising that look.

404
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 11: And then it's a question of are you breaking down

405
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 11: the protection, who's coming, who's not coming? What are you

406
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 11: and man?

407
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 14: Or you and zone?

408
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 11: Are you like going to the deep. I feel like

409
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 11: some of the players in the defense, it's positionless what

410
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 11: they do.

411
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 12: And I just feel like, you know, he does a

412
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 12: great job making it hal on the offense, not coming

413
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 12: out lining up and just seeing okay, the quarterback is

414
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 12: seeing okay, we're outside leverage, and you know, man covers

415
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 12: those type of things. So for us to be able

416
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 12: to have our safety disguise, have our nickels go out

417
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 12: there and disguise, and you know, all up on the line,

418
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 12: you see all those people, you're probably thinking everyone's coming

419
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 12: and boom we drop out on the zone or something

420
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 12: like that. So that's just what's special about the defense.

421
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 12: And you got guys that's willing to go do things,

422
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 12: you know, for their next guy next to them.

423
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 11: Well, but I feel like in this league right now,

424
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 11: if you give Joe Burrow or you give Josh Allen,

425
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 11: you give some of these guys like that, look de

426
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 11: Lamar Jackson, you just line up and play defense, They're

427
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 11: gonna carve you.

428
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 14: Up because they're just that good.

429
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 13: I feel like, yeah, exactly.

430
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 12: Quarterbacks are definitely seeing, you know, seeing stuff nowadays, just

431
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 12: so fast that they know where defense we're in, calling

432
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 12: our defense for us. So, like I said, when you

433
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 12: have a scheme like this, I think that's a hard

434
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 12: thing for them to do.

435
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 11: Like if you ask me, Byron, would you rather lead

436
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 11: the league in defense fewer yards or lead the league

437
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 11: in takeaways? I'll take takeaways every day.

438
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 13: Definitely take takeaways.

439
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 12: Obviously, you know, getting you get turnovers, you get paid,

440
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 12: so that money's around the balls, so you gotta go

441
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 12: get that ball for sure.

442
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 11: So you had the group year had twenty four interceptions,

443
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 11: a bunch of defensive touchdowns, you had six of them.

444
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 11: What what's that like right now? When you know the

445
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 11: balls got to come out hot, like you can almost

446
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 11: you can anticipate the balls got to come out hot.

447
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 11: Depends on who you play, but regardless, like you're gonna

448
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 11: get opportunities.

449
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 12: I definitely feel that because obviously sending these guys out

450
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 12: here in camp and practice, getting in that backfield every snap,

451
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 12: it's just like, okay, now I got some shorter time.

452
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 13: So we're in meetings.

453
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 12: I'm already thanking them guys, like yeah, you guys gonna

454
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 12: give me some more interceptions for sure, because like I said,

455
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 12: that D line there, you know, from the top to

456
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 12: bottom of younger guys as well, they've all been doing

457
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 12: a great job and obviously getting to the quarterback.

458
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 11: But it's not just scheme. You guys were secondly against

459
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 11: the run. You know, it all starts there. You can't

460
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 11: really get to your your looks, your pressure looks unless

461
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 11: you get them in those you know, situations where they

462
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 11: will be being in passing.

463
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 12: Situationally, definitely, obviously that's the number one thing. You know,

464
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 12: when you stop the run, it's kind of hard for

465
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 12: our offense to open up their playbooks. So stopping the

466
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 12: run is key for us. We always talk about it.

467
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 12: That's the number one thing, stopping the run. And obviously

468
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 12: now they got to pass the ball and that's when

469
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 12: you know, the DB's have fun.

470
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 11: Talking about passing. You have a new quarterback here. Everybody

471
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 11: wants to know JJ McCarthy, how he's doing, what's he

472
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 11: doing well all the What have you seen just going

473
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 11: up against him and practice a lot of team periods today?

474
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 11: What have you seen from JJ thus far?

475
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 12: I would definitely say this, y'all be ready for a

476
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 12: guy that's here ready to work. One of the best

477
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 12: I've seen, you know, obviously been in the rookie seen

478
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 12: a lot of quarterbacks since my rookie year, but I

479
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 12: would say he's one of the guys that you know,

480
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 12: been here putting in the work. I feel like he

481
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 12: can make any throw in the field, you know, from

482
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 12: the boundary to the field, like I said, and just

483
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 12: you know, he's just he's a work guy.

484
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 13: So he's out here really working.

485
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 12: Obviously us we're talking stuff a lot, so we're gonna

486
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 12: go compete every single day. He brings that juice every

487
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,239
Speaker 12: single day. So I'm really excited for JJ to get

488
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 12: out there.

489
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 11: Last thing here, Byron, you brought in a lot of

490
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 11: new faces, even on defense, Isaiah Rodgers, Jonathan Allen Hargreave.

491
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 11: I mean, you've got some new faces here that are

492
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 11: all learning this thing. Like, how do you feel like

493
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 11: it's all meshing at this point?

494
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 12: I would definitely say it's a culture thing here. I

495
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 12: feel like the first day I got here, I felt

496
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 12: like I've been here, So I would just say it's

497
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 12: a culture thing. But when it comes on the field,

498
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 12: I just feel like like when we call something on

499
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 12: the D line, they're already running the stunts one hundred

500
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 12: percent correct. So it's like I feel like the you know,

501
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 12: the mental part, the mental space is already there and

502
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 12: how they're going to play together. So that's a good

503
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 12: thing to see, like when they're rushing like that, already,

504
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 12: let's get ready for a game week.

505
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 11: So I asked, I asked your head coach, Kevin O'Connell.

506
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 11: I said, you know, how many unscripted periods do you

507
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 11: have where you know you're not going off the script,

508
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 11: So the defense going to get the offense like when

509
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 11: you throw your scheme at them, like are you are

510
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 11: you winning those battles like you have on most Sundays.

511
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 12: I feel like we're definitely doing a lot of winning

512
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 12: on the defensive side. Sorry, well yeah, we've been winning

513
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 12: on a defensive side. So I feel like cuch Ko

514
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 12: definitely has some pridicies where we got schemed up and

515
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 12: they made some plays. But you know, that's what that's

516
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 12: what it has to go. You know, when you're called,

517
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 12: you know our calls. We got to go actually play

518
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 12: our technique and that's what's gonna get us better.

519
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 11: Byron, I wish you the best of luck. It is

520
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 11: a fun defense to study. I don't know if people

521
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 11: have figured this thing out. I don't know if they're

522
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 11: gonna figure it out, but either way, good luck to

523
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 11: you and the whole team this season, sir.

524
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 13: I appreciate you. We're gonna get this thing done.

525
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: If Faldy can't figure it out, the rest of us

526
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: are pretty screwed. Cam Mooard might have to figure it

527
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: out at some point, the quarterback for the Tennessee Titans.

528
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: He does have a defensive guy on his team, saying

529
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: that this guy's not getting enough credit. That's Jeffrey Simmons.

530
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: He's going to talk to us next on the Insiders.

531
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: I was at Chargers on Monday, and by all accounts,

532
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: the workout with Keenan Allen over the weekend went swimming league.

533
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: Just a matter of getting the right numbers. I said,

534
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: this thing's going to be done in no time and

535
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: short enough. The next day done Nel Keenan Allen officially

536
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: back to the Chargers a one year deal worth up

537
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: to eight point five million dollars.

538
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: He did quote Keenan Allen things.

539
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 1: In that workout. That's what Jim Harball said. So they

540
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: are happy to have him back Mike Williams, remember he

541
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: came in. That was the reunion at the start of

542
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: training camp he retired. Well, now you get a different

543
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: veteran back there to help a bunch of youngsters that

544
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: they feel really good about us. They feel really good

545
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: about those guys. But to have a Keenan Allen there

546
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: to not only get the production on the field, but

547
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: help these guys day in and day out show what

548
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: it's like to be a pro.

549
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: Huge for the Chargers in.

550
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: Should be a really really good final piece for Los Angeles. Meanwhile,

551
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 3: a little bit of a scare for the Carolina Panthers

552
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: and their superstar corner J C.

553
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 7: Horn.

554
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 3: He was in a car accident on Wednesday. He did

555
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: not practice today by all accounts checked out. Okay, did

556
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 3: have some stitches, I believe on his thumb, eight or

557
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: so stitches on his thumb, but is generally okay, not

558
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: something that is going to take him off the field

559
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 3: for very long. But considering what it could have been,

560
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 3: considering the scare here in Carolina, there is for sure

561
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: a sire of relief for one of the best players

562
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: on which should be a resurgent defense in Carolina, Judy.

563
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: Could we possibly see Aaron Rodgers on the field during

564
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 4: the preseason. Maybe he did not rule out that possibility.

565
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 4: He does not expect to play in Week one of

566
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: the preseason, but he said he is open to playing

567
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 4: in the preseason if that's what Mike Tomlin wants to do.

568
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 4: Rodgers actually played in the preseason two years ago. That

569
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 4: was his first season with the Jets. Before that, it

570
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 4: hadn't been since twenty eighteen when he was on the

571
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 4: field in the preseason. Obviously, the risk, of course is injury.

572
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: But in Rogers' case, we know he signed very late

573
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: in the spring, so he certainly didn't have a full

574
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: offseason of work with the offense and with offensive coordinator

575
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith. One other wrinkle, Will Howard d rookie quarterback,

576
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 4: is not going to be available. He's out a few

577
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 4: weeks with a broken bone in his throwing hand after

578
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 4: banging his hand on a helmet.

579
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 5: So keep your eyes open.

580
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 4: Maybe we see a little there Aaron Rodgers in the preseason.

581
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Rogers played against the Giants in that preseason, threw a

582
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: touchdown to Garrett Wilson and then got into it with

583
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: Jihad Ward.

584
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: That was an interesting night. We'll see about that. Mike

585
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: Rabel bleeding.

586
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Why because he like, I get it right, Like he

587
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: still got that mentality that's kind of way he was

588
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: as a player. And it's like, oh there's a scuffle

589
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: in practice, let me stick my head in the middle

590
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: of it.

591
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: Here's Drake May.

592
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 15: That's what we're trying to build, I think. And it

593
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 15: starts with the coach. Starts with the head coach. The intensity,

594
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 15: bring it every day, you'll take it, no crap, and

595
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 15: you'll right there on the field. But also it comes

596
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 15: to a time where with our guys offensively and get

597
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 15: over there and get some tussles and kind of have

598
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 15: some penalties and extra alfter the whistle, you can get

599
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 15: us some trouble. But to mentality, I like it.

600
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 7: I think that's what you want.

601
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 15: I mean, I almost got in there, but I think

602
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 15: maybe another day maybe, so we'll see.

603
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: You know, in baseball Ian the manager is not maybe

604
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: not so much anymore, but they wear the full uniform.

605
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: Maybe like this is a good just you know, at

606
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: least a helmet. If he's gonna keep doing.

607
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: This, Yeah, I mean I would say if you told

608
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: me that Mike Grave was gonna head out to Patriots

609
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 3: practice in a full uniform, maybe with advisor to fully

610
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: protect him, maybe some gloves like old school linemen gloves

611
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 3: where you're like, how many fingers does he have? Or

612
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: is that just a club? I would I could see

613
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: that and like, look, this is all like pretty funny, right,

614
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: Mike 're Able getting bloodied in some sort of a

615
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: scuffle during practice makes me laugh and I'm laughing about

616
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 3: it right now, just because it's utterly ridiculous. But the

617
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 3: mentality that he's trying to bring to New England is

618
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: not ridiculous, and so like this is a funny deal,

619
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: but it's also quite real because if the Patriots are

620
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 3: going to get better from last year, and I believe

621
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: they are, it's going to be to set the foundation

622
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 3: of a certain level of like grid and nastiness. And

623
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: what better way to find out than to have your

624
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: bloodied head coach showing everyone.

625
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 7: All by himself.

626
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 5: I can think of a few toughest guy on that team.

627
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, toughest guy on that team is going to be

628
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 4: the head coach. All right, let's go to the Browns.

629
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 4: It is going to be the Shadoor Sanders Show. Browns

630
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 4: at Panthers, seven pm Friday, Live on the NFL Network. Why, Well,

631
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 4: because they don't want to put Joe Flacco on the field.

632
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 5: Why would you risk injury?

633
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: They already know what he can do, and basically every

634
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 4: other quarterback they have on the roster is banged up

635
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 4: right now? Can he piket hamstring injury? Dylan Gabriel also

636
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 4: a hamstring injury. Shardor Sanders is going to get an

637
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 4: enormous opportunity, a big showcase to show why maybe he

638
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 4: should be moved up from fourth on the depth chart,

639
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: which is where he is in the first unofficial depth

640
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 4: chart for the Browns. Big showcase for Sanders, I think

641
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 4: we're all ready to sit back and watch Mike.

642
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, great opportunity because you're playing with maybe the second

643
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: string offensive line instead of the third string line.

644
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: That was the trade off with him and.

645
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel Cambard playing with the first string offensive line.

646
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: Because this guy is in line to be the starter

647
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: right out of the gate for the Tennessee Titans come

648
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: week one. Jeffrey Simmons is excited to see it. He

649
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: spoke to our Sarah Walsh.

650
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 16: We'll start with your quarterback, right because so many people

651
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 16: have eyes on the quarterback and I love this offseason

652
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 16: and offseason workouts, you were kind of going at it

653
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 16: with Cam.

654
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 17: You sort of took pride and Cam went back.

655
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 16: You tell me about that relationship and what it's been like,

656
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 16: John with Cam a little bit.

657
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 9: You know.

658
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 18: First off, I mean me and Cam we met each

659
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 18: other going, you know, coming into training camp.

660
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 9: I remember maybe it was it was mini camp.

661
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 18: Actually we went to a proper party together and that

662
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 18: was my first time meeting him, uh in personally, because

663
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 18: of course I wasn't here doing OTAs. And you know,

664
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 18: I told him, I said, I heard you been talking

665
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 18: a lot of smack to my defense and I heard

666
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 18: you been dicing us up. I said, they ain't changed

667
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 18: when I come when I get back, and you know,

668
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 18: we started drawing back and forth, and when we actually

669
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 18: came on the football field, it was a little more

670
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 18: and I was like, okay, young Buck, he ain't just talking.

671
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 9: You know, he bought it. And but it's been real good.

672
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 18: Cam a guy who he's very competitive, you know, he's

673
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 18: a guy that wanted to be good. You know, it's

674
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 18: been good for us on defense too, because I mean,

675
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 18: Cam mobile, he could be able to get out of

676
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 18: the pocket, and you know, he could make every throw.

677
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 9: And I remember I was rushing.

678
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 18: I had a nice bull on the quarterback on Cam

679
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 18: and he threw the ball side on around me to

680
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 18: get the ball to Rid. I'm like, hell, I did

681
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 18: he just do that? But you know, even so good

682
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 18: to learn who Cam is off the field. I think

683
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 18: that's the biggest thing about this game of football. You

684
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 18: create them bunts off the field, and you know, being

685
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 18: able to I don't know you guys saw the pictures,

686
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 18: but you know we went fishing together, and you know

687
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 18: I was giving We're talking smack on the boat. You know,

688
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 18: you know I was giving hell by him getting hung

689
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 18: up twice and just things in that nature, you know,

690
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 18: being able to spend time outside of the building. That's

691
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 18: how I feel like we're gonna be better together. We're

692
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 18: gonna be as a team together. And he could understand

693
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 18: and trust me that I got his back. When it

694
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:37,800

698
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,840

Speaker 14: I appreciate it.

702
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us. We've watched you practice. You

703
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: guys are at the tail end of training camp. It

704
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: has been a good one. It has been a productive

705
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: and intense one. What have you learned about your team

706
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: these last couple of weeks.

707
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 14: I think we've just been stacking really great days. You know.

708
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 19: Obviously this is for me. It's been one of the

709
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 19: most competitive camps that I've been a part of. I

710
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 19: think the team is complete as far as you know.

711
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 19: We added depth all across the board. MANI and the

712
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 19: guys JG wanted to hit the defense really hard in

713
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 19: this all season. I think they went and did that,

714
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 19: and it's shown out there during camp. You know, we've gone

715
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 19: back and forth, but I think that's what's gonna make

716
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 19: us great.

717
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 17: So this year, it's so amazing how long you've been

718
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 17: in the league and you're only almost twenty eight years old.

719
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 17: What feels different? You say it's more competitive. It's more like,

720
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 17: what is different exactly?

721
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 19: Oh, you know, every year is different. Every year is different.

722
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 19: I would say this though. For me, just being around

723
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 19: the guys. I think this is again I go back

724
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 19: to saying that this is probably the most complete team

725
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 19: I've been on, as far as dev goes, as far

726
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 19: as O line, D line, guys that have been here

727
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 19: building a foundation, and those guys growing within the system.

728
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 19: For me, that's probably been the most uh you know,

729
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 19: different thing that I've witnessed.

730
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: You guys had eight wins last year, obviously no playoffs,

731
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: but close, and really feels like we've talked about this

732
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: some today, really feels like you guys are at a

733
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 3: point roster wise where I know Monty wanted to get

734
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: to and I know you wanted to get to. What

735
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: did you take from last season? And how ready do

736
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: you think this team is to get to the playoffs?

737
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 14: I mean, I know we're ready. I know we're ready.

738
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 14: You know.

739
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 19: I feel like last year, like you said, we were close,

740
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 19: really close, had some you know, unfortunate breaks, didn't make

741
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 19: a couple of plays that we felt like we should

742
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 19: have made, and ended up watching the playoffs on TV.

743
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 19: And that's not where we want to be and that's

744
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 19: not where I want to be. So again, I think

745
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 19: we hit the uh, we hit the team hard this offseason.

746
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 19: Continue to grow and continue to work, continue to stack

747
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 19: days this camp, and I think that's on us to

748
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 19: go out and next cue when the when the season

749
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 19: comes here.

750
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 17: So it's the last day of open practice and the

751
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 17: fans I have it. I'm holding it, and the fans

752
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,160

753
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 17: the card that they all signed for you, which was

754
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 17: pretty cool, but tell us a little bit about what

755

Speaker 17: we got going on here in my lap.

756
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 19: Yeah, just uh they made me a chess board, you know,

Speaker 19: to have people that truly care about you.

760
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 14: Obviously, they don't have to make me anything for my birthday.

761
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 19: You know, they don't know me personally, you know, but

762
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 19: it means the world to me that fans care enough

763
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 19: to uh do something as selfless as do you know,

764

00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 14: Did you like the fruit? The fruit play the fruit plate?

781
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 17: We were talking about your healthy dining options during this

782
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 17: whole time? Was it was actually very great. It was

783
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 17: in his house. He was dialed in like we're talking

784
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 17: like there was no hotel. Your micro expressions were completely

785
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 17: locked in, So it was great. It was great.

786
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: Let's talk about one of the chess pieces they have

787
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: here on their offense, Marvin Harrison Junior, who got a

788
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: little bit bigger, looked I thought looked really good out

789
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: there today. And when I talked to the coach, like

790
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 3: you'll see it. What have you seen from Marv this

791
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 3: year that maybe we didn't always see last year?

792
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 19: I told people all the time, you know, rookie years,

793
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 19: it's it's different for everybody. It's different. And I think

794
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 19: you know, for him. It's just the game had to

795
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 19: slow down. I know, we all know, we all witnessed it. Uh,

796
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 19: towards the end of the season, you only started get

797
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 19: more comfortable, start to get better. And then going to

798
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 19: this offseason, the guy's talking more. Everybody keeps coming up

799
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 19: to me on Mar's personalities, showing this and that. I'm like, bro,

800
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 19: he like, it's you know, you just gotta let guys

801
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 19: mature and like you know, sometimes it takes time. I

802
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 19: got no doubt he's gonna do what he's capable of.

803
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 19: I know he's gonna do it. You know, I'm confident

804
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 19: in Marvin. He's com himself.

805
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 14: So, like like coach you said, I believe everybody will

806
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 14: see it this season.

807
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 17: So you say he's talking more, like I mean, just

808
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 17: rate his talk on a scale of one to ten,

809
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 17: ten being the best, of course.

810
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 14: Trash talk.

811
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 19: Yeah, oh no, no, Marv, Marv's talking communicating, lead by

812
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 19: example type of guy.

813
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 3: Okay, trash talk at all because his dad's kind of

814
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 3: a quiet dude.

815
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 19: Yeahah, Mars, Mars, Marv, let's his play talk for himself.

816
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: So you mentioned you know this roster is in a

817
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 3: better place. You mentioned how hard you guys have gone

818
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 3: against the defense. There's been some additions, Joshua probably the

819
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 3: biggest name when Walter Nolan, I know, is injured now.

820
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 3: But someone who, uh, this coaching staff and personnel group

821
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 3: expects a lot from as you guys kept making some

822
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: of these additions on defense, what did you think?

823
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 19: I mean, I loved it personally, you know, I loved it.

824
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 19: I understand how this. You know, I've been playing this

825
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 19: game for my whole life. So uh, now, this being

826
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 19: year seven in the league, if you've got a great defense,

827
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 19: you got a chance, you know. And I believe those

828
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 19: guys gonna be great this season. Obviously, Buddha has been here, blood,

829
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 19: sweat and tears. Kalai is coming back guys you just mentioned.

830
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 19: But I think we got some guys that people don't

831
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 19: really know about that are going to surprise some people

832
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 19: and collectively as a as a unit, you know, I

833
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 19: think those guys got something to prove this season, and

834
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 19: I'm looking forward to it.

835
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 14: Man, there that's a hunger group.

836
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: I love it.

837
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 17: So how's Will Johnson doing with, you know, lining up

838
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 17: against Marvin?

839
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 14: Yeah? I love Will. I love well. I was He's

840
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 14: one of the guys.

841
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 19: One of the rookies that I've gotten to know, uh,

842
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 19: pretty closely, just being around him, you know, talking to him,

843
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 19: picking him his brain. Yeah, I know, I know he

844
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 19: fell in the draft obviously, and that that was pretty

845
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 19: crazy to me. But glad we got him. And you know,

846
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 19: he's he's everything that he's been cracked up to be.

847
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 19: You know, he's a he's a football player.

848
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 3: Those draft journeys and his was a tough one. He's

849
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: just considering his talent. But you're also watching and there

850
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 3: must be some part of you were like, hang on,

851
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 3: like he's falling.

852
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: He's falling, right.

853
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean I'm just like you know, anybody else.

854
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 19: I love the game, and it's like, uh, when your

855
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 19: draft comes around, you're like a you know, a kid

856
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,479
Speaker 19: in the candy store.

857
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 13: It's just and then you.

858
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 14: Got a guy like Will falling, falling, falling.

859
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 19: I'm like, all right, money, alright, money, al right, please.

860
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 19: You know, if if he gets our pick, you know,

861
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 19: can we pick him? And then obviously we picked Will

862
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 19: and it was you know, at that point, you know

863
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 19: you got.

864
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: A good player.

865
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 19: I mean he was what he was a top fifteen

866
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 19: player in the draft, so you know, draft day, so

867
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 19: you know.

868
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 14: I'm glad he's on our team.

869
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 17: Tell your PR staff that I said he's the steal

870
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 17: of the draft.

871
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 9: Got you are you?

872
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 14: Are you a Wolverine?

873
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 17: I'm not a Wolverine but from Michigan, but I think

874
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 17: he was the steal of the draft. And use those

875
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 17: words and there you go. Thank you for your time.

876
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 17: You really appreciate. Have the best birthday ever, and have

877
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 17: a great season.

878
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 20: Kyle of great stuff.

879
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 9: Really appreciate you.

880
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: Excellent debut on the Insider, Cynthia, pretty decent job as well.

881
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 3: Not done here yet, though, We got plenty more coming

882
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 3: up on the Insiders, including a look at that guy

883
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: right there, Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars, one of

884
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 3: the more fascinating teams in the NFL. We are gonna

885
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 3: go inside with the Jaguars coming up next.

886
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter is maybe the most fascinating player in the

887
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 4: NFL right now. He wants to play both ways, wide

888
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 4: receiver and quarterback. He is practicing both ways, literally switching

889
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 4: sides and switching jerseys. Midway through practice. Tom pallisera or

890
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 4: Mark Ross saw all the action up close. Here they

891
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 4: are from Jacksonville.

892
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 20: A typically sunny day down here in Jacksonville. We didn't

893
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 20: just get good weather, Mark, we also saw some pretty

894
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 20: good offensive football out there.

895
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 21: Yeah, for sure, a lot of excitement on the offensive

896
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 21: side of the ball. Trevor Lawrence was sharp. And we

897
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 21: talked to new GM James Gladstone this morning and he

898
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 21: was talking about Trevor Lawrence's new aggressiveness and he loves that.

899
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 21: And two plays later, hit like a fifty yard bomb

900
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 21: down the field, split in the safety's there.

901
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 7: So he delivered. Treffor delivered on what the new GM

902
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 7: was talking about.

903
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 21: And you know, there has to be excitement for Trevor

904
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 21: Lawrence tom of just getting stability around him because he's

905
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 21: had He's on his third head coach and second GM,

906
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 21: and it seems to have affected him in the year's past.

907
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 7: But now he said that he feels a.

908
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 21: Reinvigoration of having that foundation and stability, and to a man,

909
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 21: everybody talks about that. Look, whether the experiment of new

910
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 21: head coach Liam Cohen and new GM James Gladstone work.

911
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 21: I just like that they're doing it together, that they're

912
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 21: not piece bailing it together, of having a GM heel here,

913
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 21: firing a head coach now bringing another coach in that, hey,

914
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 21: look these guys are on a sink or swim with

915
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 21: one another.

916
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 20: He has not just stability, but health as well. Trevor Tols,

917
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 20: this is the healthiest he's felt in a long time.

918
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 20: He had the recurring ankle injuries a couple of years ago.

919
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 20: Last year he was dealing with the shoulder, and that

920
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 20: surgery of reset process into this offseason also helps when

921
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 20: you keep adding the parts around him and listen, no

922
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 20: team's gonna be perfect in the first year with a

923
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 20: new GM and a new head coach. Be look at

924
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 20: Brian Thomas Junior, who barely even got to play with

925
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 20: Trevor Lawrence last year. What a factor he can be.

926
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 20: And then they had the guy that we saw switching

927
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 20: back and forth between two different jerseys throughout practice, Travis Well.

928
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 21: We've heard about Travis Hunter in college and in the preseason,

929
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 21: but actually see it at practice and I've never seen

930
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 21: that before.

931
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 7: Of you know, he's got his little penny.

932
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 21: Jersey on and he takes it off, he goes in

933
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 21: a drill and he goes and flips and puts it

934
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 21: back on, takes it off on offense, on defense. So

935
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 21: it's going to be really exciting to see how Travis

936
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 21: Hunter is employed throughout the season, and Coach Cohen talked

937
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 21: about it that it could be a game by game,

938
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 21: it could be half by half depending on where he

939
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 21: lines up and how they employ him. But Brian Thomas

940
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 21: Junior the foundation of one of the top ten, top

941
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 21: five receiver in this league.

942
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 7: The defensive side of the ball. We talked to Josh Hines.

943
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 21: Allen and Devin Lloyd is on that side. So they

944
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 21: do have talent. They do have some talent. Now whether

945
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 21: it all comes together, we'll see how fast that happens

946
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 21: with a new head coach. But there is signs of

947
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 21: optimism with not just the foundation, but as you mentioned,

948
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 21: they do have some talent to compete.

949
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 20: No one did Josh Heinzellen say when I asked him,

950
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 20: what if anything gives you optimism? Do you guys can

951
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 20: not just be on the rise, but compete to make

952
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 20: the playoffs in twenty twenty five, He said, if you

953
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 20: don't believe that right now, you gotta get off the seed.

954
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 20: You gotta go, You gotta get out of the locker

955
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 20: room here. It's been a lot. When you can just

956
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 20: look over Trevor Lawrence's career five years. You've gone from

957
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 20: Ervin Meyer to Doug Peterson to Liam Cohen, different offenses,

958
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 20: different schemes. There is an energy level there. You can

959
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 20: say that about every campus. There's reasons for optimisms, but

960
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 20: you really feel it right here. All these young head coach,

961
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 20: young coordinators. There's a lot of that kind of youthful

962
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 20: exuberant the sense just watching these guys out on.

963
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 21: The field, for sure, and this time you hear everyone

964
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 21: talks about it, but to actually have that belief and

965
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 21: that goes a long way. When players are looking at

966
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 21: the chaos, tom they get it. They're smart and they're like,

967
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 21: why am I going to get my all when I

968
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 21: got all this chaos going on? But now it seems

969
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 21: as if, yes, I believe in what's going on here.

970
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 21: And when you believe, you can go out here in

971
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 21: one hundred degrees and practice and sweat and be like,

972
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 21: we have a goal that we're going to get to and.

973
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 7: We're going to win.

974
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 20: Liam Cohen told us he's now you made a final

975
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 20: decision on whether or not his guys are going to

976
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 20: play in the preseason opener on Saturday against Pittsburgh. When

977
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,479
Speaker 20: I pressed him and said, hey, a lot of people

978
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 20: are gonna be tuning in to see one guy. He said,

979
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 20: likely Travis Hunter will be on the field.

980
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tom.

981
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,760
