1
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to Lake Troube Aaron Rodgers, the four time NFL MVP,

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: and the Steelers hitting the practice field for the first

3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: time today. The Raiders on the field once again with

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: their new running back Ashton gent Gino Smith and company.

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Falcons holding their first practice for Ian Morris is fired up,

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: not picture Dan Campbell. I can guarantee you he is

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: fired up as well, and so are we. Welcome inside

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: with the insiders alongside Ian Rappaport in Tampa. We'll talk

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: about those bucks. Judy Mattista, Mike Garafalo, I am Tom PELLISERA.

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: Let's check the calendar here.

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Six weeks from tonight Eagles and Cowboys kick off Week

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: one of the regular season. One week from tonight Chargers

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: Lions in the Hall of Fame game. And yet for

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: about an hour this morning, Jets fans thought their season

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: was already over. Everybody want to breathe. Justin Fields is

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: going to be just fine. But that is where we

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: start out in Flora Park, where there was quite a

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: scare in practice earlier today. Justin Fields, on one of

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: the first team grills in practice, got stepped on Ian.

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: There was plenty of panic. Jets fans have been scarred

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways, but the tests came back,

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: you would think just about as good as they possibly could.

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, considering the scariness of this situation,

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: considering the potential direnness of the situation, this is an

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: excellent outcome for the New York Jets.

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: Here's essentially what it is.

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: Justin Fields has a dislocated toe.

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: It is not his big toe.

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: It's one of the other toes, to the toe right

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: next to the big toe, whatever the name of that is.

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: That is one of the the toe that Justin Fields dislocated.

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: There is no fracture. This is excellent news. That would

33
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: expect him to miss some time, but from my understanding,

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: not significant times.

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: So for all the Jets fans that I know.

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: In my life who decide to all text me at

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: the same exact.

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: Time, Justin Field is going to be okay.

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: And the fact that this is not the same old Jets,

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: the fact that not every piece of news is the

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: worst news ever, is very very excellent thing for the Jets.

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 3: For Aaron Glenn, for Darren Muji, this was not all

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: that bad for New York guys.

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I suppose it was an interesting fifteen minutes when

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 4: a lot of folks took to Twitter and said the

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: Jets have got the trade for Kirk Cousins right now.

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: I think two things were enlightening about this.

48
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 4: One the fact that the Jets really didn't make the

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: push for Kirk Cousins in the first place, and that

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: they really liked Justin Fields and felt like this is

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: a guy that they can continue to develop and get

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 4: the most out of. The other thing is Aaron Glenn

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: made a point of going right to Tyrod Taylor and

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: saying we have the faith in Taylor. As a matter

55
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: of fact, when I saw the quote, I thought, oh,

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: Fields must be down bad, and he's making it clear

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: this is the direction we're going now, potentially if there's

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: an injury moving forward. Aaron Glenn has made it clear

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: that this is the guy that they believe in behind

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: Justin Fields if they've got to go that route.

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: But again, good news for the Jets, they don't.

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 5: Very good news for the Jets.

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 6: You know, if this happened just one day after Aaron

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 6: Glenn talked about wanting to help ease the pain that

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 6: Jets fans have endured for all of these years, well

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 6: you could feel the pain. This morning, before we knew

67
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 6: the outcome of Justin Field's injury, Jets fans were panicking

68
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 6: recalling really the worst day against with Aaron Rodgers' injury

69
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 6: in the first game of the season for him.

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: It turned out okay.

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 6: This turned out to be about as good a scenario

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 6: as possible. He will be on the field for Week

73
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 6: one for the New York Jets. So the new era

74
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 6: of the New York Jets, which came so very close

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 6: this morning to being derailed, is still on track. Speaking

76
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: of Week one for the New York Jets, that is

77
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 6: going to be against the Pittsburgh Steelers and a very

78
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 6: familiar face.

79
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers.

80
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 6: This guy arriving in Latrope for his very first practice.

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 6: Not surprisingly in Latrope, thousands of Steelers fans turn out

82
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 6: for practice. You would think there's going to be a

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 6: few more just to see Aaron Rodgers in a Steelers uniform.

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 6: Here's what Rogers had to say about expectations for his

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 6: new team.

86
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 7: I think that you know, there's really only six to

87
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 7: eight they really have a legitimate chance. Sometimes it's ten

88
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 7: to twelve, and there's teams will surprise you. But I

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 7: would say on paper, we're probably one of those ten

90
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 7: to twelve.

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 8: How do you go from being on paper to being

92
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 8: one of those legitimate ten to twelve.

93
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 7: I think it's coming together, you know, times like this

94
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 7: with these seventeen there's soap practices that we have here

95
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 7: and finding the chemistry and hanging out with each other

96
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 7: in the lunch room and snack in the different times

97
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 7: that we have and you know, growing together through our practice.

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 6: It's worth noting that rogers first pass in team DROs

99
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 6: was intercepted by Patrick Queen. Rogers said, I'm going to

100
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 6: throw interceptions. I'm also going to throw a lot of touchdowns.

101
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 6: That may be a good sign for the defense though,

102
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 6: and the Steelers are going to need that defense if

103
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 6: they're going to make a push to the super Bowl. Remember,

104
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 6: it started out really strong last year and then faded

105
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 6: badly in the second half of the season. Cam Hayward

106
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 6: talked to reporters before practice today and he said that

107
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 6: defense cannot be on a roller coaster. He also said

108
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 6: they're not interested in being champs on paper, They're interested

109
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 6: in being d champs.

110
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 5: All right, now to the Bucks and Ian.

111
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: Speaking of champs, Bucks have won this division. NFC South

112
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: three years in a row. Out here on the practice field,

113
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: It's easy to see why. You take a look at

114
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: this offense and there are so many familiar faces. Even

115
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: though Chris Godwin, who very famously left money on the

116
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: table to sign with the Bucks, is back here, wasn't

117
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: on the field, has n't been on the field just

118
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: yet after a little bit of a cleanup surgery.

119
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: Still question as far as when he returns.

120
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 3: That said, the optimism is very very real in Tampa.

121
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: Listen to Baker Maye Fields.

122
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 9: We know we have potential. I think everybody in this

123
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 9: building knows that the roster that Jason and have built,

124
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 9: the chemistry that we have, the standard the coach Bowl

125
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 9: sets each day elite is the standard. And so we

126
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 9: realized that we've had the mid season low. We've had

127
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 9: to scratch late in the year to get into the playoffs.

128
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 9: The mindset is to be hungry, be killers, to finish

129
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 9: it out early. And that's whether that's games or the

130
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 9: season clinching, you know our division, that's the whole mindset

131
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 9: when you step foot on this field.

132
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: Now, how biging things get a little more optimistic for Tampa.

133
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: We mentioned the offense pretty briefly, there is a real

134
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: chance this defense is somehow better under Todd Bowles this

135
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 3: year than it was last year. The addition of Asan Redick,

136
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: who had a very crazy and forgettable season on the

137
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 3: field last year, has come into camp and has looked

138
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: excellent thust far. He is primed to be a big

139
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: time addition for the tam Bay Buccaneers. Colidja Kanzi already

140
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 3: one of the best three techniques in the NFL. It

141
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: looks to take that next step as well. And then

142
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: here's something else interesting. It does seem like there's a

143
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: real possibility that two young corners, Benjamin Morrison and Jacob

144
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: Parrish both get significant snaps for this Tampa defense, maybe

145
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: even starter snaps. Mike, that is an excellent sign for

146
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: a Bucks defense that was already very good.

147
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: All right, that's good. Ian.

148
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: Seems like you were there and you took in all

149
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: the information and it was worth your visit down to Tampa.

150
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to make a visit down there to

151
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: Tampa myself.

152
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: Maybe I will head to Flowery Branch at some point

153
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 4: where Michael Pennix this time last year was behind that

154
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: guy Kirk Cousins. I talked about just a couple of

155
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: minutes ago. Now pretty clear it is his team. The

156
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: quarterback of the future last year, the quarterback of the

157
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: present now and really stamping his territory and talking to

158
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: the media today.

159
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 8: We should be the best in the league. You know what,

160
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 8: the guys who got around us. You know, we got

161
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 8: a great office line as well. You know, those guys

162
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 8: works hard in the trench, you know, with coach Leffer

163
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 8: out out there leading those guys, doing a great job

164
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 8: with those guys. You know, we should be unstoppable. So

165
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 8: that's our goal. We want to be number one in

166
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 8: auto categories on office sider balls.

167
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: Some confidence there from Michael Pennix and some confidence when

168
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: he was talking to the media about Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts,

169
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: highly drafted, really hasn't hit yet. There was talk of

170
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 4: him potentially being traded this offseason. Pedix told the media,

171
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: you see, we threw the ball a bunch to pay

172
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 4: it is to see we threw the ball a bunch

173
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: to Pitts today. Yeah, gonna be a lot of that.

174
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: So that's the kind of leadership you want at the

175
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 4: quarterback position from a guy who's only playing a couple

176
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: of games, but again putting his stamp on that team,

177
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: on that locker room, on that building. They like what

178
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: they've seen from Peedix and they like what they heard.

179
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: There tom no quarterback competition in Atlanta, but there is

180
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: a very unique one in Cleveland unfolding between the veterans

181
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: Jill Flacco and Kenny Pickett, the rookies Dylan Gabriel and

182
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: should Do were Sanders. Those two, by the way, the

183
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: rookies closer in age to Joe Flacco's kids than they

184
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: are to Flacco himself, and those kids will indeed be watching.

185
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 10: There's like ideal situations, obviously, and then there's just like

186
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 10: the reality of the situation, and you know, it's one

187
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 10: of those things that I really don't have any control over.

188
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 10: So I'm really not worried about when anything happens. Obviously,

189
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 10: there's advantages to knowing, you know, earlier than later, but

190
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 10: it's just part of the game.

191
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: Stefanski's offense, Kevin Stefanski calling me plays once again. Truly,

192
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: no decision on who will be the Browns starting quarterback,

193
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: though the hardest thing to do would be to start

194
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: as a rookie. It's making the rookies, But I thought

195
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: we were looking at cam Ward for a second.

196
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: Hi, it's me.

197
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: I will thankfully not be starting for anybody in twenty

198
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: twenty five at quarterback. But let's turn the attention now

199
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: to the number one overall draft pick, cam Ward, who

200
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: is off to a start that's a little bit different

201
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: than what we were anticipating in terms of the division

202
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: of labor. Will Levis landing on injured reserve, already out

203
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: for the entirety of the twenty twenty five season after

204
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: undergoing shoulder surgery. Cam Ward did speak I'm told about

205
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: his expectations for this offense.

206
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 11: Just from an understanding of how they're gonna run their

207
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 11: routes to them understanding, you know, my ball places where

208
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 11: it needs to be allowed them to make plays at

209
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 11: the field. But we got a talented group of receivers

210
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 11: on tight ends well and running backs who can you know,

211
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 11: make plays in the checkdown game and in the run game.

212
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 11: So you know, just the pieces that we have, you know,

213
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 11: I think we're one of the top you know where

214
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 11: cab will be one of the top offens in the league.

215
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: Let's welcome in Mark Ross for a little bit more

216
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: on the Titans. All right, big words right there, from

217
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick mark.

218
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: In reality on paper?

219
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: What is the realistic upside on the twenty twenty five tense.

220
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 12: First off, I love the confidence and I love the player.

221
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 12: I thought cam Ward was, of course deserving of the

222
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 12: number one pick. I think he will be a Pro

223
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 12: Bowl type player and change that Titans franchise. But just

224
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 12: the overall offensive talent, I think the Titans are a

225
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 12: little lacking. I mean, you've got Tyler Lockett probably starting,

226
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 12: or Van Jefferson Tyler Lockett up there at age. Van

227
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 12: Jefferson's bounced around. They've got Calvin Ridley, but then after that,

228
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 12: really not a whole lot of playmakers. Tony Pollard out

229
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 12: of the backfield, and then some question marks on the

230
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 12: old line. They signed Dan more Than the offseason and

231
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 12: play left tackle, but I'm not sure if he's the

232
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 12: answer there. So that the Titans, although I think cam

233
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 12: Ward will be a spectacular player, having a lot of

234
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 12: work to do. Last season, they were twenty seventh in

235
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 12: the league in scoring tom so he's going to really

236
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 12: have to do a miraculous type of rookie season, much

237
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 12: like Jaydon Daniels did last year and CJ. Stroud did

238
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 12: the year before. We weren't talking about those teams at

239
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 12: this time. Certainly I wasn't the same. There'll be one

240
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 12: of the top teams, playoff teams, go to the NFC

241
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 12: Championship game. Jade Daniels last year and win Rookie of

242
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 12: the Year. Even if they camp could win Rookie of

243
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 12: the Year. Just not sure that whole entire offense he

244
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 12: could put them on his back and put them up

245
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 12: in that upper echelon.

246
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 2: Mark, good stuff, Judy. How about those Lions.

247
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 5: It feels like the.

248
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 6: Detroit Lions have been in training camp forever already. They

249
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 6: sort of have been there getting ready for the Hall

250
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 6: of Fame game in a week. There's Jared Goff throwing

251
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 6: a ball in very very slow motion. Looks really good,

252
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 6: nice tight spiral and slow motion. Golf talked today about

253
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 6: how the transition to a new offensive coordinator is coming along.

254
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 13: Every offense. There's formation, shifts, motions, routes, run plays, protections.

255
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 13: You know, I could keep going cadences the ways you

256
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 13: would getting in out of the huddle. A lot of

257
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 13: the stuff we're doing and those eight things I just

258
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 13: named is the same and some of it's different, So

259
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 13: it's it's it's hard to answer that question when you

260
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 13: know what's different, what's different, what's different? Some of it's

261
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 13: the exact same and some of it is a little

262
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 13: bit different. And I'm not going to go into the

263
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 13: minutia of what is different, but I think the transition

264
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 13: from what we were doing last year to him is

265
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 13: a lot lesser than you guys are making it seem

266
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 13: with the questions. I believe, like I get that question

267
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 13: every day, a lot of it is the same and

268
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 13: then there's some stuff that we're learning that is new,

269
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 13: and it's not that big of a gap between those two,

270
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 13: I guess, And I'm sorry if I didn't answer what

271
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 13: you asked. But it's been a great transition. It's been

272
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 13: a lot of fun. It's been a challenge, but it's

273
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 13: been a fun challenge.

274
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 6: Well, how the Lion's adjusts to coordinators on both sides

275
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 6: of the ball is going to go a long way

276
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 6: to tell us whether they can duplicate the fifteen win

277
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 6: season from last year. There's not a whole lot of

278
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 6: play calling experience between John Morton and Kelvin Shepard. One

279
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 6: thing to watch as golf was talking about what kind

280
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 6: of tweaks is Morton going to make to that offense, which,

281
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 6: of course Ben Johnson ran so masterfullet last season. Morton

282
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 6: does have familiarity with GoF that certainly helps. This is

283
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 6: a very difficult division, though. The pressure is going to

284
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 6: be on to get through an adjustment period quickly so

285
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 6: that they can get on their way with their very

286
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 6: real Super Bowl aspirations.

287
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: How you doing with your name, Savannah?

288
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 9: I like your bike.

289
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: Key, hold my helmet. Just don't let this fall us

290
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: in here? Thank you?

291
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 5: What's up man? How you doing?

292
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 10: What's up?

293
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Guy?

294
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 4: Yes, thank you so much. You need to get this actually,

295
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: can you send her here?

296
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: Sorry? Love your mariner?

297
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: Another one you want to there? Oh you're trying to

298
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: double down?

299
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 4: Look at you see if I get my feet on

300
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 4: these pedals here, try not to crash your bike here?

301
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: What's up? Guys? What's up? What's up? Let's go? Let's go.

302
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: Jordan love a popular man.

303
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: That bike probably now worth about ten times the value

304
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: it was when they picked it up on the practice field.

305
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: Dealt with it injuries last season, still got into.

306
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: The playoffs where they got steamrolled by the Eagles, at

307
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: least from an offensive perspective, certainly a lot of reason

308
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: for growth and also reason for optimism with that offense

309
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: in Green Bay.

310
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: Now you get new faces every year. I think every

311
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: year is different. They never have the same team. You

312
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: don't have the same guys I did. In that mindset,

313
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: you know you have to shift. You know every year

314
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: is different this year.

315
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 14: Or you know, there's things we did good, there's things

316
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 14: we did that, and it's always trying to improve. So

317
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 14: I don't think you have that same mindset or run

318
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 14: it back, don't increase stagnant. I'm trying to get better.

319
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 14: I'm not trying to run back and losing in the

320
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 14: first round the playoffs. So there's a lot of things

321
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 14: that we're trying to prove on. Obviously, there's some new

322
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 14: faces and trying to get those guys at speed and

323
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 14: and you know, I think they all got the right mindset.

324
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: They're hungry and they.

325
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 14: Know what we're trying to do.

326
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 8: With getting with Golden with all the motion and stuff

327
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 8: you envisioned him doing, like this kind of stuff that

328
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 8: Gene Reed's been able to do, and with all the

329
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 8: motion you.

330
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 15: Run that type of afore potentially, potentially ideally you'd like

331
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 15: to have everybody be able to do that, because then

332
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 15: you really don't know where it's coming from. So I

333
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 15: think the more guys that we can train to be

334
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 15: able to take on that type of role, I just

335
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 15: think it opens up things for you offensively to.

336
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: The insiders, Tom Pellacero, Stacy Dales, and Mark Ross with you,

337
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: Stacy spent a lot of time around that Packers team.

338
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: Tell me about your expectations, the way that chemistry can

339
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: evolve here for Jordan Love and company in twenty twenty.

340
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 16: Five, Hey, Tom and Mark, evolve is a good word.

341
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 16: I would also maybe couple that word Tom with mature,

342
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 16: because I just want to remind everybody this is the

343
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 16: youngest team in the National Football League per spot Track,

344
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 16: an average age of twenty five years old. It was

345
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 16: the youngest offense in the NFL season ago, and it's

346
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 16: been by committee with Jordan Love at the helm, and

347
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 16: just to throw out a few numbers here in terms

348
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 16: of how young this offense is and how by committee

349
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 16: it has been. Outside of the running back job Jacobs,

350
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 16: they had five players last season with four hundred plus

351
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 16: receiving yards, the only team in the NFL to have

352
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 16: such those guys of course read Dobbs, Watson, Craft the

353
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 16: tight end and Wis, But Jaden Reid was their number

354
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 16: one receiver in terms of his receptions, he had fifty five.

355
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 5: But if you look across the league, as.

356
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 16: I checked in with our research team, third fewest among

357
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 16: the top guys, the number ones.

358
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: In the NFL?

359
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 5: What does that mean? They don't have a clear cut

360
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 5: number one.

361
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 16: When I say by committee, it's something that the head

362
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 16: coach and play caller really likes in. Matt Lafleuri actually

363
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 16: said today the beauty of our offense is you really

364
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 16: don't know where necessarily who's going to get the football.

365
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 5: It frees up the.

366
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 16: Quarterback because he doesn't feel that pressure. I got to

367
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 16: get this guy the ball. But I think it's so

368
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 16: important to have some definition mark. That's what I'm looking

369
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 16: for when I had to Green Bay with you on Sunday.

370
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: Who are those.

371
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 16: Guys, those reliability guys, those blanket security guys that Jordan

372
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 16: Love is going to have.

373
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 5: Is this maturity develops.

374
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 16: As he goes into the third year a starter because

375
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 16: he's got to have that sort of Rogers Adams guy

376
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 16: in situational football that he can go to. And I

377
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 16: just want to end with this, the Packers were really

378
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 16: good offensively, top five total offense last season, but per

379
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 16: Pro Football Focus, tops in the league alongside Cleveland with twenty.

380
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 5: Five wide receiver drops. That's the wide receiver core.

381
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 16: And so when you're spraying that ball around, do those

382
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 16: guys know are they prepared at all times in terms

383
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 16: of situational football. Got to clean that up and maybe

384
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 16: define some of those roles here this training camp.

385
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: Thanksy.

386
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 4: I love that we're getting on.

387
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 12: We can't practice together right now before our weekend together

388
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 12: in Chicago and Green Bay when we start our training camp.

389
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 12: So yeah, So you mentioned the young talent, and you

390
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 12: mentioned the versatility and a lot of different guys, but

391
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 12: you're one hundred percent right with I think at some

392
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 12: point someone's going to have to emerge. And you mentioned

393
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 12: the receivers that are already on a team and the

394
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 12: tight end through their craft and much. But maybe that's

395
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 12: the reason why they drafted Matthew Golden in the first

396
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 12: round this year, the wide receiver out of the Texas

397
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 12: because they realized that maybe not all of these guys

398
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 12: are the true number one. Maybe not all of these

399
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 12: guys by committee that we have we can just go

400
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 12: to in a pinch to say, when all else fails,

401
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 12: when we can't run plays, when we can't spread it.

402
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 2: Out, who can we just go to meek him play?

403
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 12: And you mentioned all the drops that leads to they're

404
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 12: not all one hundred reliable where they need to make

405
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 12: a play, you have to go do it. Talking about

406
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 12: green Bay with our Giants two thousand and seven playoff run,

407
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 12: Paik Joe Burrs went up there. We barely read any plays.

408
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 12: Paxico go over there, beat Al Harris to death over

409
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 12: there and he had think ten to eleven catches, twenty eleven.

410
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 12: Hakeem Knicks, we went up the green Bay came.

411
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: Knicks went crazy in that game.

412
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 12: Didn't really have to run plays last year with the Eagles,

413
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 12: AJ Brown, Devonte Smith, the Chiefs for years. When all

414
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 12: else fails, Patrick, you go throw to Kelsey. So who's

415
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 12: going to merge for green Bay? That'll take them to

416
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 12: very good to super Bowl caliber.

417
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 5: All right?

418
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: Sorry about the other team the you two are going

419
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: to be seeing coming up on back Together weekend with

420
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: roalm the clock coverage right here on NFL Network, Stacy,

421
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: what are you going to be looking for with Ben

422
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: Johnson running that Bears offense for the first time in

423
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: a training camp set.

424
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 16: How they discovered Tom their identity. I mean, it's going

425
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 16: to be interesting. I asked him a.

426
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 5: Question earlier this week.

427
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 16: I was actually at practice this morning about how much

428
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 16: he can fill his quarterbacks cop Caleb Williams in his

429
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 16: second season, and he told me a bunch of stuff.

430
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 16: But he said, listen, we don't even know if we're

431
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 16: going to be a wide zone run team or a

432
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 16: gap run team. So they got a lot to figure out.

433
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 16: And the running backs fascinate me. I shot this here

434
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 16: on my phone earlier today. As DeAndre Swift is the

435
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 16: number one guy, he loves to run the football, Ben Johnson,

436
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 16: can he do it in Chicago with this wide with

437
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 16: this running back group is going to be the question.

438
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 16: He believes he can and as they've added, really we

439
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 16: thought maybe they would add somebody higher in the draft,

440
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 16: but they went with Kyle Manungai in the seventh round

441
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 16: out of Rutgers, who, by the way, never had a

442
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 16: fumble in three years at Rutgers. He was really good

443
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 16: and a touchdown machine for them last season. But when

444
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 16: I asked Ben today about his wide receiver room, he

445
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 16: told me. He loves how coachable they are. They are

446
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 16: Eric b Enemy has already had a strong impact.

447
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: He has his prints all over this group.

448
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 5: And ultimately, here's what I love the most.

449
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 16: Ben Johnson said, quote, I know the perception out there

450
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 16: that this maybe isn't the most talented room in the.

451
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: World, but they love to hear that noise.

452
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 16: So maybe DeAndre Swift didn't admit Mark to hearing some

453
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 16: of that noise on the outside as he looks to

454
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 16: bounce back from what maybe wasn't the year he wanted

455
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 16: a season ago, obviously in Chicago, but they are motivated

456
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 16: and he will be the bell cow to start things

457
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 16: off in Chicago.

458
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 12: No doubt they're always listening to the noise Stacy when

459
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 12: they say they're not, they're listening to the deis.

460
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I would expect this.

461
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 12: Bears team and Ben Johnson to resemble the Lions team

462
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 12: and what it looked like in Detroit. And that was

463
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 12: no more apparent than Ben Johnson's first free agency where

464
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 12: he just said, I have to go get all kinds

465
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 12: of offensive linemen because in Detroit we had maybe one

466
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 12: of the top two or three best offensive lines in

467
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 12: the NFL. So they went out and got a free

468
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 12: agency and a trader for Joe Tooney. He highlighted that,

469
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 12: and then in the draft he said, well, let me

470
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 12: get as many playmakers as I can with Colston Lovelin

471
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 12: and coming back with Luther Burden the third in the

472
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 12: second round, the wide receiver out of Missouri.

473
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: Because in Detroit you had so.

474
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 12: Many guys there with jmo and I'm on Rossain Brown,

475
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 12: so that you had and the two headed monster of

476
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 12: Gibbs and Montgomery in the backfield. You had so many

477
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 12: options that he spread it around so much. So he's

478
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 12: looking at this offense now and saying, I address the

479
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 12: offensive line. I had playmakers here already. Roman Doomsday's got

480
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 12: to step up. DJ Moore, you have a career year,

481
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 12: and now I bring in these rookies to add even

482
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 12: more playmakers to that offense. I would expect it to

483
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 12: be similar to what it looked like. Everybody moving around.

484
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 12: Nobody's the number one guy. Some get some guy some game,

485
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 12: somebody's going off another game another person. So I would

486
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 12: expect it to be Detroit North. I don't know geography there.

487
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 12: I don't know where they want to hear that in Chicago,

488
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 12: But to look very similar. You guys got the Packers

489
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 12: and the Bears. I've got the Lions. We got the NFC.

490
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: North and the entire league covered this weekend. You know why,

491

Speaker 2: Marks back later. Thank you very much, Stacy.

499
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: How about we get to the Chiefs and the AFC

500
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: West coming up right after this? Who is best equipped

501
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: to chase the three time defending AFC champs even if

502
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: you know what ended last time with a different teams

503
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: competitive confetti falling from the ceiling. We'll dig into it

504
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: next on The Insiders Sick.

505
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: The Las Vegas Raiders with a stunner. Sources to say

506
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: Christian Wilkins, the prize of free agency just a year ago,

507
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: has been informed of his release one year into a

508
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: five year, one hundred and ten million dollar deal, has

509
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: got much of that fifty seven point five million dollars

510
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: fully guaranteed already got a twenty million dollar check of

511
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 3: it this spring, already still in the books for about

512
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: I believe it is eight this season, the Raiders deciding

513
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,120
Speaker 3: they are not moving forward with Christian Wilkins any long.

514
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 3: This has been an ongoing saga for many reasons for

515
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 3: the Las Vegas.

516
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: Raiders, but on the field, as it.

517
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 3: Pertains to Wilkins, my understanding is the team wanted him

518
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 3: to have surgery on his foot. He declined, declined several

519
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 3: medical opinions, ultimately decided he wanted to rehab this. It

520
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: has been a battle to get him on the field.

521
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: Certainly there has been discord as it relates to Christian

522
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: Wilkins and the Raiders. He has now been released an

523
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: early training camp surprise for Pete Carroll, for John Spytech,

524
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: and for the Las Vegas Raiders.

525
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 2: Christian Wilkins is out.

526
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 6: The New York Jets also got a major scare today,

527
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 6: but also a major lucky break. Justin Field's dislocated a toe,

528
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 6: not the big toe, the other toe in his right foot,

529
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 6: but avoided what could have.

530
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 5: Been a much worse injury.

531
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 6: He is listed as day to day and the JEFF

532
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 6: said in a statement that he will avoid missing significant time.

533
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 6: Mark Ross is back joining me, Judy Batista, all right,

534
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 6: let's talk about the Jets situation.

535
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 5: Tyrod Taylor is the backup quarterback.

536
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 6: Aaron Glenn immediately expressed his confidence in Tyrod Taylor before

537
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 6: we even knew the extent of Justin Field's injury. Give

538
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 6: me your front office view of where the Jets quarterback

539
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 6: situation is right now.

540
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 2: Well, the best part is that it got downgraded.

541
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 12: The initial shock and the angst of all the Jets

542
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 12: fans that has been talked about today, and of course

543
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 12: Justin Fields needs all the reps he can. But that's

544
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 12: why you do have a Tyrod Taylor in the building.

545
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 12: I mean, you don't want him to be your starter, obviously,

546
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 12: but he's the ultimate backup quarterback.

547
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: He's the ultimate pro.

548
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 12: Everywhere he's been, he's almost had to step in in

549
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 12: situations like this, so he will not be phased by this.

550
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 12: But they do need to get Jessin Fields back as

551
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 12: soon as possible. And that's where your doctors and your

552
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 12: medical staff say, Okay, here's the right time, Judy, get

553
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 12: them back on the field to get those reps.

554
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: With Garret Wilson and the crew.

555
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 6: I did have multiple Jets fans friends text me this

556
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 6: morning and say, who is the backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor?

557
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 6: Actually not such a bad situation, all right, Let's talk

558
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 6: about the Houston Texan too. I feel like are flying

559
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 6: under the radar. They're already in day two of training camp,

560
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 6: coming off back to back division titles. They shouldn't be

561
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 6: flying under the radar. Here's CJ. Stroud on the rookie

562
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 6: wide receivers.

563
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 17: Like the two rookies, you know, Jalen and Jaden, you know,

564
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 17: they've came in with a great mindset, really mature guys,

565
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 17: guys who love to work, you know, consistently here at

566
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 17: the building or you know, working with me in the offseason.

567
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 17: So you know, I'm really excited to see those guys'

568
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 17: growth and see them, you know, take a step forward

569
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 17: each and every day. And it's it's not gonna be

570
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 17: perfect for those guys, but I think they're gonna make

571
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 17: a lot of plays. And I'm excited to see.

572
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: C J.

573
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 6: Stroud had such a phenomenal rookie season. Offense of Rookie

574
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 6: of the Year a little bit of a dip last year.

575
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 6: Certainly the offensive line performance had something to do with

576
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 6: that can he bounce back mark one percent.

577
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 12: And you mentioned under the radar, and that was because

578
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 12: they were so far ahead of schedule his rookie year,

579
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 12: and then everybody had such high expectations last year, but

580
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 12: then forgot you know, if you comparatively, they won the division,

581
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 12: they made the playoffs, they played pretty well. Was just

582
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 12: they expected so much from them. But there could have

583
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 12: almost five six new starters because the offensive line changing.

584
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 12: Outgoes Tunsul incomes, a bunch of free agents there led

585
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 12: by Cam Robinson, out go Stefon Diggs, a bunch of

586
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 12: new skill guys there led by the rookies. The two

587
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 12: rookie receivers from from Iowa State, Christian kirk in there

588
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 12: as well. So it'll really be how fast all of

589
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 12: these new pieces can gel with c J.

590
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: Stroud and Jail together.

591
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 12: But most importantly, despite everything that happened around c J.

592
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 12: Stroud has to play better as well. He has to

593
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 12: get back to his rookie year. There were a lot

594
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 12: of times where he missed a lot of open throws,

595
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 12: made a lot of mistakes that were into pennant of

596
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 12: what went around him and Judy.

597
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: I do expect him to have a bounce back season.

598
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 6: Awful lot of transition in the rest of that division,

599
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 6: so a real opportunity for the Houston Texans to take

600
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 6: off fast.

601
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 5: Mark Ross, thank you very much. Ian.

602
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: One of the bigger questions heading into Buffalo Bills training camp, boys,

603
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: would that guy be on the field right there? James Cook,

604
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: who really emerges one of the go to weapons for

605
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills in a contract dispute with Buffalo, wants

606
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 3: a big contract, wants to get paid.

607
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: Was he going to actually be on the field.

608
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: Let's listen to James Cook talk all about it recently.

609
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 18: I knew I was gonna come my handwork. I don't

610
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 18: owe it to nobody but my teammates and myself and

611
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 18: my family. So me participating, showing my teammates that I

612
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 18: love the game and I'm willing to be out here,

613
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 18: and we have talks. I'm never going to give up,

614
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 18: and I deserve what I want my knee and it's

615
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 18: going to eventually have.

616
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: It, hopefully for James Cook.

617
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: That is right with the Buffleo Bills have done this

618
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 3: entire offsets, lock up all of their key guys, a

619
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: lot of those guys on defense, a lot of the

620
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 3: pillars of that defense.

621
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: The offense is pretty young.

622
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: They did lock up a big piece of that with

623
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: giving Josh Allen, their MVP, a big time contract extension

624
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: in the spring, right around the time of free agency.

625
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: Will it be James Cook's turn or really.

626
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 3: Be performing doing the same thing last year, merging as

627
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: a key weapon in the NFL, then facing more uncertain

628
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 3: status after the season.

629
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: Time will tell.

630
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: But right now for Buffalo, most importantly, he is on

631
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: the field and that is excellent news.

632
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: Gari Folo take it away.

633
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: So the Raiders we go, and certainly this whole situation

634
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: just changed within the last couple of minutes here with

635
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: ians report that Christian Wilkins, the big ticket free agents

636
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 4: signed by the previous regime last year, Pete Carroll and

637
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: John Spytech, the new head coach and general manager moving

638
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 4: on from Wilkins. Pete Carroll has been confident, nonetheless, and

639
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's gonna remain confident that this team is

640
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 4: gonna win some ball games this year.

641
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 19: We win a ton, We'll win a bunch of games.

642
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 19: Ain't nothing. I can't even imagine anything. I haven't winning

643
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 19: ten games a year for twenty years or something. You know,

644
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 19: I mean, what are my expectations. We don't win a

645
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 19: bunch and I don't care you know who hears that.

646
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 19: I mean, it doesn't matter to me. It ain't about

647
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 19: what anybody hears. It's about what we do. And so

648
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 19: that's why expectations are are really high. The standards need

649
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 19: to be so that the expectations can be met. We'll

650
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 19: see what happens.

651
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll wants to hit the ground running with this

652
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 4: Raiders team and this new regime that he.

653
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: Is a part of. He sort of did that with

654
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks.

655
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 4: I mean they were under five hundred, but they made

656
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 4: the playoffs that first year, the twenty ten season in which.

657
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: They made the playoffs and won a game.

658
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 4: So that is the expectation for Pete Carroll, who has

659
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 4: had success come back to New England.

660
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: I mean he had success going back there as well.

661
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 4: This is a guy that even when the Seahawks were

662
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 4: in rebuilding mode, they were still winning games and right

663
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 4: on the threshold of making the playoffs and or making

664
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

665
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: So let's sell Pete Carroll has been successful. That energy,

666
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: that positivism, positive positivity, that's the word I'm looking for.

667
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: And he's bringing it to Vegas. Tom, make sure you

668
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: have all the right words.

669
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: Nobody thought the Broncos were making the playoffs last year,

670
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: either lo and behold Bo Nicks did that in his

671
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: rookie season. Sean Payton said this week that Knicks actually

672
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: spent four or five days with Drew Brees this offseason. Obviously,

673
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: if there is one guy who'd know how to get

674
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: to the next level in a Sean Payton offense, it

675
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: would be the guy who went to the playoffs preennially

676
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: for all those years in New Orleans. The weight is

677
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,720

685
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: Who better than to give you some advice and Michael F. Floyo,

686
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 3: By the way, Marcus Graham was on the show this

687
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: week as well. He crushed you as against Floyo but

688
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: we will have you back to redeem yourself.

689
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's true.

690
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: Actually, once you take us through some under the radar

691
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: players that you love.

692
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 20: I wasn't expecting the shots fired off the top, but

693
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 20: I love Marcus, so I accept that. Marcus Brown, right,

694
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 20: he was taken from us before the season even started

695
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 20: last season, and he wasn't the same once he returned.

696
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 20: But last we saw him healthy, he was still one

697
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 20: of the better field stretchers in the game. You have

698
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 20: to go back a couple of years for the last

699
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 20: time that he and his starting quarterback were both healthy,

700
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 20: But in twenty two two, he was averaging sixteen Fantasy

701
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 20: points per game. Mahomes is the best quarterback he's ever

702
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 20: played with, would be the best quarterback most people have

703
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 20: ever played with. And I know Tom said don't be

704
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 20: drafting already, but if you're playing in best ball leagues

705
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 20: right now, he's going outside the top sixty wide receivers.

706
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: I love taking him at that price, but.

707
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 20: Him being there is not just good for him in

708
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 20: those big spike weeks you'll get when he connects on

709
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 20: the long ball, it's good for Mahomes and everyone else

710
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 20: on the Chiefs.

711
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: So Hollywood Brown was a re signed for the Kansas

712
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 2: City Chiefs.

713
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 3: Take me through someone who changed teams in an under

714
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 3: the radar move.

715
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: Jordan Mason.

716
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 20: Right, remember last year kind of came out of nowhere

717
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 20: with the forty nine ers and then showed us that

718
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 20: he could play and was averaging thirteen fantasy points per

719
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 20: game as a starter.

720
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: Last season. He led all.

721
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 20: Running backs in miss tackles forced rate and he was

722
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 20: second in explosive run rate.

723
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 2: So we know he could play when he is given

724
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 2: the chance.

725
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 20: Now he is in another very fantasy friendly offense with

726
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 20: Kevin O'Connell and Aaron Jones is gonna be thirty one

727
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 20: by years and he's missed time before. That makes Mason

728
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 20: one of the very best handcuffs in fantasy football. And

729
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 20: I'd argue he'd bring RB one upside some weeks like

730
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 20: we saw last year if Aaron.

731
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: Jones was to miss time. Yeah, I mean last year.

732
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 3: If you grabbed him early on when Christian McCaffey went

733
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 3: out surprisingly Week one, man, you were happy, really glad

734
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: I really didn't do that? All right, give me another

735
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 3: under the radar move. Let's go to the receiver position.

736
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: This is one that.

737
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 20: Happened well after free agency in the draft, so a

738
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 20: lot of you might have been on vacation or whatever.

739
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 2: But Deontay Johnson to the Browns. I think this is noteworthy.

740
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 20: Because, yeah, Deontay's coming off of a weird year, no

741
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 20: denying that, but it wasn't because of his talent. In fact,

742
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 20: he every year for the last five years has been

743
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 20: one of the best wide receivers at creating separation and

744
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 20: getting open. He was averaging twelve Fantasy points per game

745
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 20: last season with the Panthers, which is right around what

746
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 20: Zey Flowers, Khalil Shakir, and Marvin Harrison Junior gave you.

747
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 2: And he has a wide range of outcomes.

748
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 20: I won't deny that, but one of them is in

749
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 20: being the Browns top target because he gets open at

750
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 20: such a high rate.

751
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: And if that happens, you get free upside. Because this

752
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 2: guy is.

753
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 20: Absolutely free in drafts right now, like he might go

754
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 20: undrafted in most of your leagues, so put him on

755
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 20: your watch list or whatever. But I do think this

756
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 20: is a move to keep an eye on.

757
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 3: To be fair, he's basically free to the Browns too,

758
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 3: basically making the minimum high upside really kind of a

759
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 3: little bit surprised, honestly that just one team took a

760
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: flyer on him. But if this happens, if this does hit,

761
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 3: the rounds will be very very happy. Another player who

762
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 3: costs maybe a little bit more money, give me another

763
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 3: under the radar receiver move, and I know you're going

764
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 3: to talk about one of my favorite.

765
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 20: Players, Josh Palmer on my favorite team, the Buffalo Bills.

766
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 20: But he costs a lot more than Deontay Johnson this season,

767
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 20: but last year with the Chargers, Palmer was better at

768
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 20: getting open and just a more efficient receiver on targets

769
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 20: of ten or twenty plus air yards than anybody the Bills.

770
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: Had on their roster last year.

771
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 20: And yeah, they gave him a lofty three year deal,

772
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 20: so I'm expecting him to come in and compete.

773
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: With Keyon Coleman to be the top out wide target.

774
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 20: We know Khalil Shakira is going to hold down the

775
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 20: slot for Josh Allen and the Bills, but with Josh

776
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 20: Palmer here he is able to get open downfield.

777
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 5: We could see a more consistent deep.

778
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 20: Ball return to the Buffalo Bills offense, which was lacking

779
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 20: last year, which not only would help Josh.

780
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 2: Palmer, it would help Josh Allen as well.

781
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 3: In one of the more interesting trades this year involved

782
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: a player who was released and then traded.

783
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: Anyway, take me through why you think Christian Kirk is

784
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 2: worthy of our attention, because what I think Christian Kirk

785
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: could play at a high level.

786
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 20: I don't think that was the reason why the Jig

787
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 20: moved on from him, but last season the Texans struggled

788
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 20: to get consistent production out of the slot, especially after

789
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 20: the Digs and Dell injuries. Kirk, in fact, had more

790
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 20: yards from the slot than any Houston player last season,

791
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 20: and I think he provides a really reliable number two

792
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 20: option opposite of Nico Collins, who could win downfield from

793
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 20: the slot. Another reliable option only helped CJ. Stroud and Kirk.

794
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 20: Right now, he is just a wide receiver that you

795
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 20: could select in the later rounds of your draft.

796
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 5: But I think he could easily.

797
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: Outperform that cause if c J.

798
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 20: Stroud could look like he did more his rookie season

799
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 20: and if Nico Collins look I hope he stays healthy,

800
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 20: but that has been a struggle.

801
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 5: For him, so if he misses any sort of time,

802
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 5: we could be.

803
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 20: Talking about Christian Kirk as the top target for CJ. Stroud,

804
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 20: and again he is someone that you could get as

805
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 20: an afterthought in the double digit rounds of your fantasy drafts.

806
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 2: Four Yo, Great Stuff.

807
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you about the Mets and

808
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 3: the trade deadline, had a whole bunch of questquessions, but

809
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 3: ran out of time because you had so many good

810
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: under the Raider story.

811
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: And so here's what I'll do.

812
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: I will text you after the show and you can

813
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: tell me your thoughts on the great stuff for you.

814
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 3: As always, I was taking notes. Hopefully too many people,

815
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 3: not too many people in my league.

816
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: Were paying attention. Meanwhile, one edition that.

817
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: Will probably not affect fantasy lesser in one of those

818
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: id p leagues. Oh wait, I am von Miller joins

819
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 3: the watching and commanders.

820
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: What kind of impact will he make? How much does

821
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: he have left? Only one way to find out? Keep watching.

822
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: Midway through the show today we had some breaking news

823
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 3: out of Las Vegas. A stunner, Christian Wilkins signday four year,

824
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten million dollar contract extension just last offseason,

825
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 3: has been informed of his relief.

826
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 2: That's right, his release.

827
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: There's been an ongoing dispeak for the Las Vegas Raiders

828
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 3: and Christian Wilkods about his foot. They have wanted him

829
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 3: to have surgery to repair his foot after he had

830
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 3: a previous surgery that did not take.

831
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: He has resisted.

832
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 3: He sought several medical opinions, did not do essentially what

833
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: the team wanted. Struggle to get on the field. Now

834
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 3: he has been informed of his relief release. Made twenty

835
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,840

836
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 3: this year just for playing five games.

837
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: Von Miller twenty four looks weird.

838
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 4: Von Miller with the Washington Commanders said that was a

839
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 4: decision that he did not make lightly. He be caretake lately,

840
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 4: I should say, because of what he was leaving behind

841
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 4: him in Buffalo.

842
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 21: You just can't leave Josh Allen and go anywhere, man.

843
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,560

Speaker 21: You know, whenever you get older, to losses they like

846
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 21: pile up. It seems like they just hit way harder

847
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 21: than what they used to when you were young. And

848
