1
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: I get thirty two you, I'm Steve White, and our

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Southern California newsroom that is Ian Rappaport. He is in

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: the Rap Cave and we have a loaded show for you.

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: We're gonna be joined by our own Jane Slater, who's

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: got some Cowboys conversation. We have Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence,

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Bears quarterback Jalen Johnson, and it's never too early.

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: To talk fantasy football.

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Michael left Florio is gonna be talking about his sliders

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: and sleepers and Ian as we know, we've talked about it.

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: All off season.

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers wide receiver Brandon Ayuk, he is due

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: a contract extension. Here's what his teammate George Kittle said

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: on The Rich Eisen Show about Ayuk and his situation.

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: This is new today.

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 3: I didn't get signed to like the second week of

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: training camp. Diebo is pretty late. Bosa was late too,

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: Bosa was the first week of the season. I was like,

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: that's just how business has done out there, and I'm

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: not in the meetings, like I have no idea. I

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: actually go out of my way to not talk to

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: anybody going through contract negotiations. So when people ask me questions,

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: like I have absolutely no idea, but like, I'm not

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: concerned about it. Ayuk's a phenomenal football player who's a

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: big part of our offense, and he's like one of

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: the most complete receivers that I've ever played with. So

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna assume that auksend to be on our team.

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: But by the time the season.

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: Starts, Andy, Well, we heard Kittle say something you've been

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: reporting all offseason long, is that the Niners tend to

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: wait until late into the process to finalize things. Any

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: updates on the situation or is that still kind of

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: the course the way things look like they're going to

33
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: shake out.

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 4: Well, we've seen Brendan a Yuk on social media plenty

35
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: kind of give it some hints about how he's feeling

36
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: or how he's wishes he was feeling. Whish is the

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: forty nine ers wanted him more? We've seen him share

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: a little commander's snippets. Of course, is good friend Jayden

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 4: Daniels now the quarterback there. But as far as what

40
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: he's actually said about his contract extension or lack thereof,

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: really the loudest he has spoken is when he did

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: not show up for mandatory, but player wants to make

43
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 4: clear that he is not happy about where his contract

44
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: extensions stands.

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 5: He does not show up.

46
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: Now the big question, of course, is is Ayuk going

47
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 4: to show up for training camp?

48
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: And you figure if he was.

49
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: Willing to take that strong up stands for Mini caamp,

50
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: perhaps he could do the same for training camp. He

51
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: does want a contract extension, I would be surprised. We'll see,

52
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: but I would be a little surprised now if he

53
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: sets foot on the field without an extension. So we

54
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: certainly have not heard the last of this one. And yeah,

55
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, these tend to go all the way

56
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 4: to the start of the season. Just ask Nick Bosa,

57
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: same thing happening him last year, showed up ready to ball.

58
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: If that happens again for the forty nine ers on Ayuk,

59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: they know at least he'll be ready to play.

60
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look Ayuk his quarterback Rock Purty. Those two

61
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: have a great combination. And Kittle told our rich eyesen

62
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,279
Speaker 1: on the rich eyes and show some great stories about

63
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: Rock Purty. And we know Purty is going to be

64
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: eligible for a contract extension after the season, and we

65
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: know quarterback numbers they're pretty high. What kind of contract

66
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: can the former mister Irrelevant be looking at.

67
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, mister Irrelevant the best deal in the NFL right now.

68
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: Literally could not have a lower salary.

69
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: Of course has gone out and always done is become

70
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers franchise quarterback. When it is time

71
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: to talk contract extension, of course, he's not eligible yet

72
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: eligible after the season. After the regular season ends, it

73
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: seems like the forty nine ers have a no brainer here.

74
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: It's not like, well, are they going to extend him?

75
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: Are they in the a big contract? He has proven

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: that he is their franchise guy. Really, what he's doing

77
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: this season is how high right? And so the forty

78
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: nine ers are going to be a team competing for

79
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: everything once again.

80
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 5: Are they able to go deep in the playoffs again?

81
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: Are they able to win a Super Bowl?

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: I mean, these are the sorts of things that can

83
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: take a quarterback from getting really good money in the

84
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: fifties to the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.

85
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 5: It's all out there for brock Pritty.

86
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: It's really just a matter of how well does he

87
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: play and how high I does he drive up that price?

88
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: And yeah, as you mentioned, some of the stories on

89
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: the rich Eisen show, We're fantastic, including what happened when

90
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: George Kittle left the Iowa jersey in brock Pretty's lockerts.

91
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 6: Anyways, some pretty good stuff. Give it a listen.

92
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: Of course, brock party went to Iowa State.

93
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see if the Niners can

94
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: keep that core together once Purdy gets paid. And think

95
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: round for just a second, because we are going to

96
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: be talking more about Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. As you

97
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: see him moving around just fine at his youth football

98
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: camp that he had earlier this week. Remember on July fourth,

99
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: we saw him in a walking boot. But we're going

100
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: to bring in our own Jane Slater, who actually was

101
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: on the phone with Dak Prescott today.

102
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: Jane, you got to give us the deats.

103
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 7: We're exchanging messages back and for sty full disclosure, I

104
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 7: was on vacation. He was in Cabo for Tyron Smith's wedding.

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 7: He told me there was nothing to worry about it.

106
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 7: Then I reached out after we saw some video of

107
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 7: him dancing at Tyron Smith's wedding. I noticed that there

108
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 7: was quite there was quite some shuge there, but the

109
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 7: ankle getting into it. We exchanged some texts today he said,

110
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 7: obviously that video taken after he was spotted in a

111
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 7: walking boot and his ankle is just fine. A lot

112
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 7: of people obviously making a.

113
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 5: Lot of this.

114
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 7: The reason is, guys, I'll take you back to twenty

115
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 7: It was week five he ended up with that compound

116
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 7: fracture dislocated right ankle. It actually required about two surgeries,

117
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 7: the second one to clean some things up. So you

118
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 7: can understand what cowboy fans getting a little nervous around here.

119
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: A lot of the.

120
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 7: Talk that we've had about Dak lately is whether he's

121
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 7: going to get this new contract. I can tell you

122
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 7: he's in good spirits. He is not talking about that contract.

123
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 7: He leaves that up to Todd France. But he does

124
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 7: not seem pressed. And why would you. He's expected to

125
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 7: make twenty nine million dollars this year, regardless of a

126
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 7: new deal or not. And let's be honest, if it's

127
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 7: not here with Dallas, there will be another team that

128
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 7: will pay him what his market value is. So that's

129
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 7: where he's at. Don't expect him to be a camp holdout.

130
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 7: He has never held out as a result of that contract.

131
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 7: But I just want to reiterate there is nothing wrong

132
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 7: with that ankle, according to Dak. But around here fans

133
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 7: do get very nervous when we talk about injuries or

134
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 7: things along these lines because we're told, hey, it's nothing,

135
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 7: and then it turns into the pup list. But I

136
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 7: can tell you straight away, Dak telling me straight up

137
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 7: there is nothing wrong with the ankle.

138
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, first of all, go back to the contract

139
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: thing you mentioned. If he does get the freeency next

140
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: year off the Cowboys don't do new deal, then I'm

141
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: going to be the highest paid player in the NFL.

142
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: Buy a lot, and the biggest name free agent we

143
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: have seen in a very very very long time. Anyway,

144
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: plenty of time to discuss that and we'll see what

145
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: ends up happening. The hell stuff is really interesting because

146
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: listening to the comments that you shared with us just now,

147
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: and then the comments that Dak made it his camp

148
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: a couple of days ago, he essentially treated himself as

149
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 4: he's not older but a little bit of an older player, said,

150
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 4: I'm getting older. I've got to take care of my bodies.

151
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: He's being proactive. He's making sure that if there's a

152
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: little thing, if he has a couple of hard workouts,

153
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 4: the ankle is as protected as possible. And Dak has

154
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: always handled really everything. I mean, being the quarterback of

155
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys is a lot. It is a lot,

156
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: handles everything so well with a little bit of a shrug.

157
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: To hear him with the maturity of saying, you know what,

158
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 4: I'm a little older, time to protect myself. And these

159
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: are the kinds of things that Cowboys fans should want

160
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: to hear because they know he is going to be

161
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 4: there for as long as possible.

162
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: He will be their quarterback for as long as possible.

163
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: And he was protecting his ankle on that dance floor.

164
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: He actually wasn't dancing. In the words of Snoop, he

165
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: was booked. Ian Rappaport, Jay Slater, thank you so much.

166
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: I don't care.

167
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 8: I got your buger, I got Bugner.

168
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: To forest. He was like, okay, Trevor drops looks fires

169
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: steeped up. He'll go, man, that's Christy touchdown, get to Bill.

170
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: I told you, I told you, I told you.

171
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: Let's go.

172
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: Let's go Bill Jaguars. And we're joined by that man,

173
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: quarterback Trevor.

174
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence, who's at the American Century Golf Tournament in Lake Tahoe,

175
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: I gotta start off.

176
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: Right now, Trevor.

177
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: You know we had your coach on Doug Peterson Wednesday.

178
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: Is your golf game any better than his?

179
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 9: No, I wish it was.

180
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 8: I wish I could I wish I could say it was.

181
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 8: But coach is pretty good. You know, if I played,

182
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 8: if I play good, I can maybe hang with him

183
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 8: a little bit. But he is way more consistent than

184
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 8: I am. So I'm just happy to be out here.

185
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 8: And I bet some of these fans are a little

186
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 8: nervous when I'm up there hitting off the t box.

187
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: Hey you me both, brother, you and me both. Hey,

188
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you.

189
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: One thing with Doug was real excited to tell us

190
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: about yesterday was a fact that they got you signed

191
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: to that long term extension and they got it done

192
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: before the season started, So it's not going to be

193
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: a conversation piece. How glad are you that you got

194
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: this done when it got done, And the fact that

195
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have committed to you the way they have.

196
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 8: Really excited just to be in Jacksonville. We love we

197
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 8: love living there. It's become home for us. And then

198
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 8: you talk about the team and where we're heading, and

199
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 8: I feel like the best days are definitely.

200
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 6: Ahead of us.

201
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 8: And I know, speaking individually as well, in my game,

202
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 8: i feel like I'm far from playing my best football

203
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 8: and I know that's ahead of me. So I'm really

204
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 8: excited about that. And just to have the stability of

205
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 8: knowing where home is going to be for the for

206
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 8: long term or you know, for the next five seven years,

207
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 8: whatever it ends up being. That feels good to have

208
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 8: that secure and know that we're going to be in Jacksonville.

209
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,239
Speaker 8: We can build this thing like we want to. And

210
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 8: this is I'm really excited. This team that we have

211
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 8: this year is really good. I think it's the best

212
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 8: team we've had since I've been there, and I'm really

213
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 8: excited to see see it all come together throughout training

214
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 8: camp and as we get ready for the season.

215
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: So Trevor and saying that, you know, we know you

216
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: guys have retooled the wide receiver room. You've retooled some

217
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: other areas, but let's go to that with that receiver group,

218
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: adding Brian Johnson and Gabe dave Is coming over and

219
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: Devin Duvarney. What do you think that group, going along

220
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: with the existing receivers that you have, is going to

221
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: do to open up the passing game.

222
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 8: We have a really dynamic group of you know, pass catchers,

223
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 8: I want to say just receivers because you know, tight

224
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 8: ends or another hees of it too. You know, we

225
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 8: got uh some great tight ends about Evan obviously had

226
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 8: a great year last year, really great with the ball

227
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 8: in his hands, does a lot of things to help us.

228
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 8: Good blocker two Briton, who's a young guy that you know,

229
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 8: didn't get as many touches last year, but has a

230
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 8: lot of talent and is a really good player and.

231
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 9: I think he's going to take off this year.

232
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 8: Then all the receivers have got Christian, you got Devin,

233
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 8: you got Brian Thomas, you got Gabe who we just

234
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 8: picked up an offseason as well. I mean we got

235
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 8: to and that's just to mention a few of them.

236
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 8: We got a lot of young guys too that can

237
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 8: that can really play. And so you look at that

238
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 8: and just the amount of different hype of pass gutters

239
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 8: we have, whether they're big, fast, strong, good after the catch,

240
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 8: good at creating separation, whatever it is, possession guys. I

241
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 8: think we kind of have all of that. So as

242
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 8: a quarterback, that makes me really excited. Then you add on,

243
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 8: you know the guys we have up front, getting guys healthy. Obviously,

244
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 8: we got mentioned the offseason, which is which has been great.

245
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 8: We got some guys in the draft, Travis Tank, you know,

246
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 8: all the all the guys, Dearnest. There's a lot of

247
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 8: guys that we have on the offense side of the

248
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 8: ball that are that that can play. And I'm excited

249
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 8: just to showcase that. And the main thing is obviously

250
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 8: you got to stay healthy and you got to keep

251
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 8: everybody together. But if we do that, you know, I

252
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 8: have a lot of confidence.

253
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 6: In our group.

254
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Great, and thank you for picking me up on Brian

255
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: Thomas right there too, didn't mispronounce the name. One thing

256
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about because Doug did mention

257
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: this yesterday and it was on just the fade at

258
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: the back end of the last season where he said

259
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: it's going to burn for a long time until we

260
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: get to meaningful games again and start playing in September.

261
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: For you and for all the other players, what about.

262
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: Getting that taste out of your mouth by being more

263
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: consistent through the season.

264
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, obviously to finish the way we did

265
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 8: last year, as this sucks, you know, you put a

266
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 8: lot of work in, starting in really in April, all

267
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 8: the way through and then to training camp and then

268
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 8: throughout the whole season, put yourself in position to make

269
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 8: the playoffs, win the division, whatever it is, and to

270
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 8: not be able to finish and and finish the job.

271
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 8: That sucks because you put a lot of work in

272
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 8: and to see it all go to waste and you

273
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 8: sit at home and watch everybody else play. That stings

274
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 8: a little bit and you remember that and it gives

275
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 8: you some motivation and going to the next season. But

276
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 8: at the same time, I think you use it as fuel,

277
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 8: but you also have to learn from it and move on.

278
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 8: You know, we have another set of challenges this year,

279
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 8: and we can't hang our health hats on what happened

280
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 8: last year. We got to build that edge and find

281
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 8: that consistency that's going to push us forward this season

282
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 8: and get us to where we want to go, because

283
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 8: it sounds it seems like we just lost a little

284
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 8: bit of juice at the end of the season. Obviously

285
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 8: a lot of injuries, a lot of things happened throughout

286
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 8: the year, but there's no excuse. You know, you go

287
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 8: out there Sunday, you got to you have a job

288
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 8: to do, and you got to got to go find

289
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 8: a way to win the game and find a way

290
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 8: to make the playoffs so you can go on and

291
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 8: go on a run. And we weren't able to do

292
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 8: that last year, and looking forward to doing that this year.

293
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: Whichever.

294
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: Just before the opportunity to get to the playoffs this

295
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: upcoming season, you got a big development in your family

296
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: life here, you got a baby on the way. You

297
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: and your wife Marissa. What's to like kind of going

298
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: through this process and then going through the season to

299
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: go along with that.

300
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're super excited.

301
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 8: I mean, from what everybody said is it definitely changes

302
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 8: your life having a kid, and we're having a girl.

303
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 8: So we just found that out, you know, last week

304
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 8: or two. So really excited for that. Excited to be

305
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 8: a dad. You know, the last few years, I've just

306
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 8: thought of obviously kind of heading in that direction of

307
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 8: becoming a dad soon and been getting excited about it.

308
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 8: And now that it's coming real soon, I'm really excited.

309
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 8: And I think that's I mean, that's what it's about,

310
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 8: is you know, raising your kids, being a good good parents,

311
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 8: a good dad, leading them the right way. I think

312
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 8: that's the most important job you have, so I'm excited

Speaker 2: There is a lot of.

351
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: Excitement around the Bears coming into this season. But after

352
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: after work off season working out with the team.

353
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: What does it feel like to you that this team

354
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: is going to be.

355
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 10: It feels different.

356
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 6: Man.

357
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 11: It's hard to really put it into detail, but it

358
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 11: just it just feels different, something like I've never really

359
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 11: felt before in that locker room. I think just having

360
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 11: everybody come together being hunger. I feel like I've definitely

361
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 11: mane it some talented locker rooms with Khalil Matt, Kyle Fuller,

362
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 11: Eddie Jackson, and Keen Higgs. I mean, I bet definitely

363
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 11: I've been in an in star instead of locker rooms.

364
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 11: But I feel like this year is just just feel

365
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 11: different with having quality guys and then on top of that,

366
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 11: guys coming and jailing together wanting to have the same

367
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 11: time and goal, and that's to win. I think, just

368
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 11: top to bottom, I feel everything is coming together pretty well.

369
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 11: I like to have the season that we had last year,

370
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 11: of course being seven and ten, and then getting number

371
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 11: one pick I fly, That's that's even that's that's even better.

372
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 11: And then also getting him or Kayleb Williams getting rolling Dunes.

373
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 11: We definitely added some some much needed helping. Now like

374
00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 11: we're only gonna take off from me.

375
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: So let's talk about those rookies. Number one pick Caleb Williams.

376
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: He talked about the wide receiver Roma Dunza. Well let's

377
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: talk about Caleb and just what you've.

378
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: Seen from him.

379
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: In the offseason, because you're going up against him every.

380
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 10: Day, right.

381
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 11: I think for me, he just diferently stands out. I

382
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 11: think his arm talent stands out, his maturity stands out.

383
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 11: The way he carries himself stands out. Just the way

384
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 11: he wants to soak up and be a sponge I

385
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 11: think definitely stands out. I think just a guy like

386
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 11: him has every opportunity to come in and be cocky,

387
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 11: be a certain way. Was like, now he's humble, he's grounded,

388
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 11: he knows the work that he's put in, he knows

389
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 11: who he is as a man, as a player. He

390
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 11: just comes in the hndle of his business, and everybody

391
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 11: in the locker room and everybody in the build it

392
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 11: respects who he is, respects what he's been able to

393
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 11: come in here and do. And we're just looking forward

394
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 11: to the future.

395
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: And what have you seen out of a dune day?

396
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 11: Really the same thing. I mean, just him really just

397
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 11: being out a different position. But they both come in,

398
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 11: they hang out all the time, They talk to you

399
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 11: so consistently, to have the same mentalities, a mattitude.

400
00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 10: I mean, they just go about business the right way.

401
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 11: I definitely love that about Vivito that they can come

402
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 11: in and really just get to work right away, and

403
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 11: I think that's very important for a rookie to do.

404
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 10: And I've really just been doing.

405
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 11: Everything really the right way, and now I fly for them,

406
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 11: it's just about coming in and making plays on Sunday.

407
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 10: But they've handled the transition well.

408
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 11: They definitely have carried themselves the right way in and

409
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 11: around the building.

410
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: Well, Jaile, you're talking about some of the excitement around

411
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: the offense, but we know the Bears they are built

412
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: around the defense. And I think it's really been overlooked

413
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: how well you all played last year year the top

414
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: run defense in the NFL, on the top ten overall defense.

415
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 1: What about building on what you did, especially in the

416
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: back half of last season and making things even better

417
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four.

418
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 10: Man, we're just.

419
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 11: Looking forward to just getting getting back out there again

420
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 11: with the same energy, same juice we ended the season with.

421
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 10: And I think for us, we wanted to start.

422
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 11: A lot, a lot faster last year, and I felt

423
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 11: we had a terrible start. We didn't really come out

424
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 11: and be who we know that we are, and then

425
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 11: we showed that in the back half of the season.

426
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 11: I know We're really excited to get back out there

427
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 11: and continue to do what we did, and that was

428
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 11: take the ball away, stop the run, and definitely limit

429
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 11: some points.

430
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 10: So I think for us, it's just we're just.

431
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 11: Excited and I feel like now just continue to build

432
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 11: off what the moment we had last year.

433
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 10: I think we can be really special this year.

434
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 11: We just got to stay healthy, and I feel that's

435
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 11: something that really stopped us last year in the beginning

436
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 11: of the season, was having a lot of guys out

437
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 11: in battling injury. So just looking forward to being healthy,

438
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 11: take care of our bodies now, really just making plays

439
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 11: on Sunday.

440
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Well, we know this offseason you signed the four year

441
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: extension to kind of see things through with Chicago.

442
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: I know you're excited about that, but.

443
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: You also have some interesting offseason developments that are on

444
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: the horizon. Let's look at your social media post. You

445
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: got a baby girl coming the way. Man, Man, how

446
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: excited are you about that?

447
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 6: Man?

448
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 10: I'm really excited.

449
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 11: I think just really just embracing being a girl dad

450
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 11: and then just Brason being the Beyonce going into being

451
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 11: a husband. I think just taking those steps as a man,

452
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 11: I feel like it is really key and really important.

453
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 11: I know when me and my girl got really closely

454
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 11: year me doing some developing as a man, I have

455
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 11: my best season.

456
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 10: So she tells me.

457
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 11: That I'm gonna have a better season when I'm put

458
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 11: a ring on it and make her my wife.

459
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 10: So I'm looking forward to having even a better.

460
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 11: Season with her now being my fiance, transition to being

461
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 11: my wife, and then also having my baby girl. I'm

462
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 11: looking forward to it even more. I think, just really

463
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 11: just being excited about being a dad, being a husband,

464
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 11: going into this new new season really in life, and

465
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 11: then also with the football season coming up.

466
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 10: So I'm really looking forward to it.

467
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 11: I'm hoping to find a schedule earlier rather than later

468
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,520

496
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: A few days in training camp. What's been the mindset

497
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: all off season of the team heading into this crucial

498
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: training camp.

499
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 12: Master of the team is you know, come in this

500
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 12: season twenty twenty four and win, you know, dominate our division.

501
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 6: And the team that consists that we've been having.

502
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: So we talked about dominate the division. We know the

503
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: NFC South, I mean, it is up for grabs. You've

504
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: got the Bucks, You've got the Falcons who've completely retooled.

505
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: The Panthers think that they've got something going with Bryce

506
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: Young at quarterback. But the Saints have been the lynch

507
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: pin there, especially on defense. Why on that defensive side

508
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: of the ball have you guys been so good consistently

509
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: for the past six or seven years.

510
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 12: I feel like we've been like that because we've want

511
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 12: to be smart, fast and physical, and we want to

512
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 12: be able to dominate and do whatever our opponent's not

513
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 12: willing to do.

514
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: Which is okay, when you say you do what your

515
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: opponents are are are not willing to do, that's exactly

516
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: what explain.

517
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 12: That it's been smart, fast, and physical and doing it

518
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 12: longer than our opponent.

519
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, you're a member of the secondary.

520
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: We know this secondary is loaded with guys like you,

521
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore, Ty Matthew, How integral is it for that guy?

522
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: For you guys on the back end, especially looking at

523
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: some of the teams in your division, to really hold

524
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: up as well.

525
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 12: The way we've been having ancess is being able to

526
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 12: communicate well and being able.

527
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 6: To be efficient and persistent.

528
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 12: And technique going in and you know, like having that

529
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 12: come right with each other and building that bun jat.

530
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: You're about to enter your seventh season in the NFL

531
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: and you've really made your bones on special teams, right,

532
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: you're the Special Teams captain. You've been to the Pro

533
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: Bowl as a special teamer. And this year the NFL

534
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: has changing the kickoff rules. So let's spend a little

535
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: time on that. How much time during mini camp and

536
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: offseason world, did you all go through these new changes

537
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: for this very peculiar looking change we're going to see

538
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: on the kickoff.

539
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 12: So that's pretty interesting, you know, just going in this

540
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 12: year this off season, OTAs, we've been practicing that since

541
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 12: day one, implementing the new rules. I feel like it's

542
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 12: changing the value of the special teams and I feel

543
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 12: like it's going to be a great thing because you're

544
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 12: going to get action every first play of the game,

545
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 12: and I feel like that's going to be a great

546
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 12: thing for the NFL and it's going to be a

547
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 12: great thing for the fantas tea.

548
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been too many touchbacks. That's one of the

549
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: reasons for this change.

550
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: But JT.

551
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: I also wanted to talk about you something that's very important.

552
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: What you're doing off the field, and you're establishing what

553
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: you're calling the mental Mindset, which is going to help

554
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: provide mental fitness and mental health therapy for people in

555
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: two towns in Mississippi, where you're from and where you

556
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: played collegiately, and in New Orleans.

557
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about this.

558
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 12: Especially what I'm doing one that's providing a space for

559
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 12: guys or people so be able to get the help

560
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 12: I'll be able to.

561
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 6: Provide for them.

562
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 12: I'm the ones that's not willing to not able to

563
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 12: financially provide for themselves. I'll be able to have let

564

571
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: JT.

572
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: That's so important, man, and that's great work that you're

00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 6: I appreciate you.

577
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: All right, New Today, more safety news as veteran safety

578
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams signs a one year deal with the Tennessee Titans,

579
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: the former Seahawk.

580
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: You see him right there signing the deal.

581
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: To join several veteran free agents who've gone to Nashville

582
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: this all season. Let's bring back in Ian rappidbord Ian.

583
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about Adams going to Tennessee.

584
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 4: You know, the Tennessee Titans made so many splashes in freegency,

585
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: one of the bigger stores in free agency all the

586
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 4: way through, and they have been essentially quiet for a

587
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 4: couple of months, going through practice.

588
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 5: And building and building and then out of nowhere.

589
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: Today Jamal Adams, the former Pro Bowl or former Superstar safety,

590
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: he agrees to terms on a one year deal. Not

591
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 4: a lot of money, more of a proven deal. But

592
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 4: for Jamal Adams, that really is what he's looking for,

593
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 4: and honestly, considering what's happened in the last couple of years,

594
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 4: the injuries that he has battled, that's what is out

595
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 4: there for him. It is now on him to get

596
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 4: on the field, to stay on the field. And continue

597
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 4: to thrive as he always has when healthy, this time

598
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 4: for the Titans. I was actually a little curious about

599
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 4: where they signed.

600
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 2: In plays.

601
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: You're going to move to linebackers, You're going to be safety.

602
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 4: He is a strong safety, and the hope for them

603
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 4: is that he ends lend some of that veteran leadership

604
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 4: on the back end as well well.

605
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: From one strong safety to a free safety. Justin Simmons,

606
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: the former Denver Bronco, he is still available. He argued,

607
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: he's one of the top five or six free agents

608
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: overall in the market. Any update on anything brewing with Justin.

609
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, most of the teams I talk to consider him

610
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 4: to be the top free agent still available.

611
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 5: Just thirty years old, former pro bowler, former All Pro.

612
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 4: Mean, this is a guy who in his prime, which

613
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 4: he's still in, by the way, one of the best

614
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 4: in the NFL regardless of positions.

615
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: He is healthy.

616
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 4: There has been a considerable interest, but this is one

617
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 4: of those things where it's really just the situation and

618
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 4: the money have to be right. We've seen plenty of

619
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 4: high profile, highly productive signings either right befored training camp

620
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 4: or even as you get into training camps. Teams take

621
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 4: a look at what they have on the roster and

622
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: they say, you know what, this superstar that I didn't

623
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: think now I need him. So the time is coming

624
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 4: for Justin Simmons, and certainly teams have been simping around

625
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: for sometimes Steve.

626
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: All right, I really appreciate that update as you have

627
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: to go to a more somber story. A vigil was

628
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: held Wednesday night in Eugene, Oregon for Vikings rookie cornerback

629
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: Kyrie Jackson, who was tragically killed over the weekend in

630
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: a car accident in Maryland, Oregon.

631
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: Coach Dan Lanning, along with.

632
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: Former teammates, were in attendance to celebrate Kyrie's life.

633
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: Jackson was just twenty four years old. We'll be right back.

634
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 5: Stretch run coming left to McCaffrey.

Speaker 9: Check see see.

640

Speaker 2: The block demonte Casey was stupid? He clean is a

Speaker 2: lunch block right there?

642
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 5: What a run and cop by McCaffery.

643
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 6: Some of those highlights.

644
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: Man, Welcome back to the Insiders.

645
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 4: Very pleased to be joined by someone who is I

646
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: would say, almost as good at fantasy football as I am.

647
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 4: As fair to say Michael F. Flurial NFL fan Fannessy

648
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 4: lives Michael E. F Fourial joining us right now because

649
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 4: it is never too early for me to give you.

650
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 5: Advice on fantasy football? Is that to say, that's why

651
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 5: I'm here?

652
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 6: Who should I be drafted?

653
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 4: We'll do that segment next, We actually will. So I

654
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 4: think CMC is probably going to be the first pick

655
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 4: for a lot of people, right. I mean, I don't

656
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 4: know about every league, but certainly most leagues. I know

657
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: you got some running back info for us, Say why

658
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: don't you start with some of your breakout running backs

659
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: that I need to maybe.

660
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 5: Kind of jot down a little bit.

661
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: I think Isaiah Pacheco is going to break out.

662
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 13: I know he's been a sending ever since he joined

663
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 13: the Chiefs, but this is the year where he finishes

664
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 13: as one of the very best running backs in fantasy football.

665
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 13: He was more utilized in the passing game in year two,

666
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 13: and that only picked up in the playoffs. He averaged

667
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 13: over nineteen fantasy points per game when he played sixty

668
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 13: percent of the snaps. There's less competition for touches there,

669
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 13: so he should get a lot of volume on an

670
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 13: offense that should put up points with a great passing

671
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 13: tack that will help create running lanes. And then Jonathan Brooks,

672
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 13: he was breaking out last year in Texas, running for

673
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 13: over eleven hundred yards in just ten games before he

674
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 13: tore his ACL that it's looking like he's gonna be

675
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 13: ready for the start of the year.

676
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: And even if he's slow to rampall, I.

677
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 13: Think he could get plenty of volume as the year

678
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 13: goes on in this backfield and he could blossom into

679
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 13: a league winner potentially. And he is someone that you

680
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 13: can get in the eighth round of your drafts right now.

681
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 13: So get him as your RB three baby and reap

682
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 13: the rewards later.

683
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I would say someone who everyone is

684
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 4: pretty excited about, especially in Carolina. And for those of

685
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: us who like fantasy hope play doesn't get drafted too high.

686
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 5: What about sleepers? Give me a couple of those.

687
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 13: James Connor, and I know he's very proven and he

688
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 13: might be like, how is he a sleeper? He's going

689
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 13: in the eighth round of drafts right now, and he

690
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 13: was the RB thirteen in fantasy points per game last year,

691
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 13: and in fact from thirteen, no one, not even CMC

692
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 13: at the running back position, scored more fantasy points. He

693
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 13: was also second in yards after contact per touch, and

694
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 13: only CMC had a higher percentage of runs go for

695
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 13: ten or more yards. So with Kyler Murray healthy to

696
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 13: start the year, with Marvin Harrison junior, now there a

697
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 13: better offense should create more scoring opportunities, and you get

698
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 13: a discount. And then Austin Eckler, I know he was

699
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 13: the RB one two years ago, but right now in

700
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 13: early drafts, he's going in the eleventh round, two rounds

701
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 13: after Brian Robinson Junior. Don't forget that he suffered a

702
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 13: high ankle spring in Week one that landed him on

703
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 13: the IR and then he said on this very show

704
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 13: that he suffered another ankle spraing once he returned. He

705
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 13: is still a good pass catcher. He's actually been better

706
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 13: at converting goal one touches into touchdowns than Brian Robinson

707
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 13: the last two years. So I'm still on the Austin

708
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 13: Eckler train. Round eleven.

709
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 5: It seems wild.

710
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 4: Actually, all right, this has been all really positive and

711
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: warm and fuzzy. Let's go the other way, give me

712
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: a couple of guy who could slide. Josh Jacobs.

713
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 13: He's being drafted right now as the RB twelve, and

714
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 13: he has finished as a top twelve fantasy running back

715
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 13: in points per game one time in his career. Two

716
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 13: years ago was clearly looking like the outlier you pick

717
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 13: a metric from last season, it was probably the worst

718
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 13: of his career.

719
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 5: In fact, lowest rate of runs going for ten or.

720
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 13: More yards amongst any running back with one hundred and

721
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 13: fifty carries. He has a wide range of outcomes. He

722
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 13: could bounce back, or he could just be an anchor

723
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 13: on your team. And then Aaron Jones. I know he

724
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 13: went off late last year, which is pushing him to

725
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 13: be a top twenty running back in drafts right now,

726
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 13: but his fantasy points per game have declined in four

727
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 13: straight years. He's going to be thirty years old on

728
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 13: a new offense. Not a lot of running backs have

729
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 13: a history of success there. In fact, only eight running

730
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 13: backs twenty nine years or older have averaged fifteen fantasy

731
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 13: points per game since twenty ten. So yeah, I'll let

732
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 13: someone else draft Aaron Jones in my leagues this year.

733
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 5: Thank you, furio I Appreciate you as always.

734
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 4: Next time just text me privately and we will do

735
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 4: this and the segment that I give you advice that's

736
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 4: not gonna hair anyway. Thank you man, Appreciate you as always.

737
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,880

Speaker 4: Here's a look at the all girls Staten Island Giants.

744
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 6: You can be great no matter who you are.

745
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 14: Everyone has a position in flag Watch.

746
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 15: My name is Valencina Finetti and I play quarterback.

747
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 14: My name is Alison Galen. I played wide receiver and safety.

748
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 10: Because it's not Ala Giants.

749
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 15: I started playing flag football when I was in second grade.

750
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 14: Only the boys were ever playing, so I never really

751
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 14: thought I should or could play that. I was always

752
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 14: an outsider. I was the only girl on the team,

753
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 14: but with flag football there's something for everyone.

754
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 15: I was told that I was too boyish. At first,

755
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 15: it discouraged me, but as I got older. I realized

756
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 15: if I was to go on the field and perform

757
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 15: better than the boys, then what do they have to

758
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 15: say about?

759
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: And I was coming from New York, so you know,

760
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: we got the little New York attitude.

761
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: These girls just give one hundred percent. They never laid back.

762
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 14: Valentine Affelti is my quarterback. She's just an incredible person

763
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 14: to be around.

764
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 15: I feel like our communication is really unmatched on that field.

765
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 15: I've worked at all since since twenty nineteen. She was

766
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 15: the best then and she is the best now.

767
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 14: What I realized how much flag football was able to

768
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 14: help me. I learned how to lead as a captain,

769
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 14: and I learned how to succeed in a male dominated sport.

770
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 15: I have an athletic scholarship at Heiser University. I would

771
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 15: tell a younger girl that playing flag football definitely is

772
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 15: a change in life.

773
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 14: I'm hoping that I inspired at least one or two

774
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 14: young girls. You are strong, You're powerful, and you have

775
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 14: to remember that through not only this game, but through life.

776
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 4: Eight a new thing, the exposure of fact. Flag football

777
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 4: is the best still ahead of the insiders. Tyreek Kill

778
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 4: and social media is a match made in heaven. You've

779
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 4: got to hear who Cheetah has in his top five

780
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the NFL.

781
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 9: Coming up.

782
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: You're looking at Allegiate Stadium in Scorching.

783
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: Hot Blass, Vegas.

784
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: It's a lot cooler inside where the Big Twelve media

785
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: days are being held. And this is coming from the

786
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: University of Central Florida social media site because Central.

787
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: Florida is in the house.

788
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: And now, Bucky Brooks, you are joined by head coach

789
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: Gus Malasanon. Coach, thanks so much for joining us. We

790
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: know it's media day there for the Big twelve conference,

791
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: but I want to kind of get your thoughts now

792
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: on the conference expanding to sixteen teams taking in four

793
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: teams from the PAC twelve.

794
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah, it's a really interesting time right now.

795
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 16: You know, we were the newcomer last year and this

796
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 16: year we only have two common opponents that we've played

797
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 16: from last year, so it's like we're almost starting over

798
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 16: another conference. The four teams that are coming in from

799
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 16: here in the West Coast, I mean, it's really exciting.

800
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 16: There's some quality teams and I think it just adds

801
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 16: to our conference.

802
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 17: You know, Coach, one of the things that beneficial Belt

803
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 17: playing at the conference is the familiarity. How do you

804
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 17: prepare for a schedule where you have so many unknowns

805
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 17: on the schedule.

806
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 16: Now, Yeah, you know, each team we play, including US,

807
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 16: has you know, anywhere from thirty or forty new members

808
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 16: with the portal, So really, especially early in the season,

809
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 16: it's more about us breaking down the coaches, the coordinators

810
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 16: more than a players, because you know, it's almost like

811
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 16: new teams. So you know, I guess that's you know,

812
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 16: probably is good. The fact that we only played two

813
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 16: common opponents from last year.

814
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: There you go, that's the way to use it to

815
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: your advantage. Coach.

816
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: Coach, you had a big time transfer come over at

817
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: quarterback in kJ Jefferson from Arkansas. What is his his

818
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: presence on your team and his ability to do so

819
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: many things offensively due to enhance you guys chances to

820
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: make some noise in the in the conference.

821
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 16: Yeah, he's really the perfect fit for us skill set

822
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 16: what we like to do offensively. You know, you're talking

823
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 16: about a guy that you know, you take away last

824
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 16: year when you know he had a new coordinator, he

825
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 16: lost some of his playmakers, but the two previous years,

826
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 16: I mean he was one of the better offensive players

827
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 16: in the SEC and actually recruited him coming out of

828
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 16: high school. That was the same year I took bow knicks,

829
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 16: you know, at Auburn. So we had a relationship and

830
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 16: when we needed a quarterback and when we saw him

831
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 16: going to Transferport, he was the perfect fit for us.

832
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 9: And you know, he's the experienced guy.

833
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 16: He's played a lot of football, He's played a lot

834
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 16: of big games.

835
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 9: The moment's not gonna be too big for him.

836
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 16: And I believe we're gonna have some playmakers around him

837
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 16: that you know, can really help with that too.

838
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 17: You know, Coach, I wanted to talk to you about quarterbacks,

839
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 17: continuing the theme of building around quarterback. If you're one

840
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 17: of the pioneers of really playing with a dual threat

841
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 17: quarterback when you had Cam Newton at Auburn, just talk

842
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 17: about the added benefit that a dual threat can bring

843
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 17: to an offense and how as a play caller you

844
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 17: can utilize those things to really help your offense go

845
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 17: to another level.

846
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, I think the higher level you get,

847
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 16: or the deeper you get playing the best teams, your

848
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 16: quarterback has to have the ability to make plays, you know,

849
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 16: outside the normal offense and really protect the football and

850
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 16: you know, just I'm a firm believer in dual threat

851
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 16: quarterbacks that can you know, hurt you with their feet.

852
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 9: It just opens everything up.

853
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 16: It's plus one runs allows you to have more explosive

854
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 16: plays in the passing game. And I said, when we've

855
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 16: had a guy have a similar skill set as a

856
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 16: kJ Jefferson, that's when we've had chances to win championships

857
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 16: and be one of the you know, the better offenses

858
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 16: in college football.

859
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: Coach about that to continue that because in the NFL

860
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: now we're seeing more of the dual threat quarterbacks almost

861
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: bring the preferred type of quarterbacks, which has kind of

862
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: been a a significant change from just five or six

863
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: years ago. Why do you think we've seen that change

864
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: and how did cod Is coaching continue to evolve to

865
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: suit those dual threat types.

866
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you're exactly right.

867
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 16: You know, the last what you said five or six years,

868
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 16: I mean, you've seen more of the college game, you know,

869
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 16: go to the pros and you know, these high powered

870
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 16: offenses in college football and these pro pro teams trying

871
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 16: to fit around the strengths of their quarterback and being

872
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 16: able to do the things that we did.

873
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 9: I really think Cam was a pioneer.

874
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 16: I mean, you know, I think he changed NFL too,

875
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 16: But now you really have seen it more and more.

876
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 16: There's a lot of younger coaches in professional football probably

877
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 16: than there was in the past too, and I think

878
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 16: that has something to do with it.

879
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 17: Also, you know, coach, with college football playoff expanding to

880
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 17: allowing twelve teams, how does it change your approach as

881
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 17: a coach? Do you do anything different when it comes

882
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 17: to building your team now that there are more opportunities

883
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 17: for you to get into the playoff tournament?

884
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 16: You know, I think it's been a long time coming.

885
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 16: It should have been this way a long time ago.

886
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 16: I just think you'll see like more teams later in

887
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 16: the season have a real chance. It's going to be

888
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 16: better for the fans. Obviously, it's better for you know,

889
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 16: a school like US our conference. I really believe our

890
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 16: conference will have two possibly three, you know, every year.

891
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 9: So I think it's just a win win for everybody.

892
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 16: I'm an old high school coach, you know, so I

893
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 16: like that quarterfinals, semi finals, finals, But you know, I

894
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 16: think it is really a good thing for everybody.

895
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 2: I completely agree. Coach. Coach, You've been coaching for quite

896
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 2: some time.

897
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: You know, you've seen so many things change on the

898
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: landscape of athletics. But one thing here on the NFL level,

899
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: we're hearing more coaches in personnel. People say, the athlete

900
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: coming into the NFL because of the NIL and some

901
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: of the changes is a little different than the athlete

902
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: than they had. Again, let's go back to the five

903
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: or six year ago window.

904
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 2: Do you see that at your level too.

905
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: I think the assumption is that maybe they're spoiled or

906
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: they're anticipating more microwave success or placement on the depth

907
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: chart as opposed to earning it.

908
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 16: Yeah, I tell you, you know, I think the real

909
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 16: factor is anytime players are getting paid the money they're

910
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 16: getting paid right now, I mean, that's a challenge to

911
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 16: any any human being, and so you know, for a

912
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 16: young kid, it's even challenges are even different that. You know,

913
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 16: what we do is, man, once we get across that

914
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 16: white line, we coach the exact same way, the demands

915
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 16: are the exact same way. But it's a different day

916
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 16: in college you know football. I mean, we're paying these

917
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 16: guys and you know, they're almost like employees, you know,

918
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 16: Like I said, I'm an old school guy, and that

919
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 16: coach relationship and that purity and everything that goes with it.

920
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 16: It's made it more complicated. I mean, that's just the

921
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 16: day we live in.

922
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: Coach malson, best of luck this season, Bucky, and I

923
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: appreciate you taking some time to join us.

924
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 9: Hey, thanks for having me. Gus all right.

925
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: Next on the Insiders, our reaction to Tyreek Kill's list

926
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: of his top five quarterbacks in the NFL.

927
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 2: Well Ian Rappidport.

928
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: Recently, on a live stream, Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill

929
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: answered questions about his top five quarterbacks. Here you see

930
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: him in order, number one, Mahomes, number two to his

931
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: own quarterback, Lamar three, Dak Prescott four, Baker Mayfield ian

932
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: is his number five quarterback.

933
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 2: Thought, sir, okay, I have a couple thoughts.

934
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 4: First of all, how respected is Mahomes that it's not

935
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 4: even like Tua was not even number one, like his

936
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 4: own quarterback was no number one, because everyone's like, well,

937
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 4: obviously it's Mahomes.

938
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 5: So I thought that was cool.

939
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 4: No Rogers, no Josh Allen, two quarterbacks in the division

940
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 4: did not mention them.

941
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 5: And then I happened to.

942
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 4: Like Baker Mayfield as a player, probably more than most people.

943
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 4: I think he could be very very good, so as

944
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 4: a top five quarterback.

945
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: Might be a.

946
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 4: Little rich, but it's not like that that rich, especially

947
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 4: coming off the year he had last year, which was

948
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 4: a really good resurgence bounce back year. So I may

949
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 4: not agree one hundred percent, but I kind of like

950
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 4: where Cheata is coming from.

951
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 2: You know, I like him. It was Baker's first four

952
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: thousand yard season.

953
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: But again, I would have a hard time, as you mentioned,

954
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: taking him over Rogers, over C. J. Shroud, over Joey Burrow,

955
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: and hate me if you want to over Brock Purdy Ian.

956
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 2: Guess what. Tomorrow we're the insiders. We're gonna be joined

957
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 2: by Charles Barkley. Oh yeah, he's not gonna be talking

958
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 2: hoops either. He's gonna be talking the NFL.

959
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 5: Love it, Let's go
