1
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: The Ravens making the decision on Monday to move on

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: from Justin Tucker, who has been accused of improper conduct

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: and is coming off the worst season of.

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: His NFL career.

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: We'll have the breakdown on what's next for Tucker and

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Meanwhile, we've got our off season Checklist series

7
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: continuing with the team that was the runner up this

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: past season, but back in the Super Bowl, the Kansas

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. How do they get back there and how

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: do they get over the hup to win again this time?

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Todea will be along to discuss that. And yes,

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: there are still some legitimately good NFL free agents who

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: are available. We will find some homes for those players.

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: Coming up later in the program. Welcome Inside with the Insiders.

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Mike Garrafalo here alongside Judy Battista and Ian rappaport I

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: mentioned Jadea. He'll be with us, Mark Ross, Brian Baldinger,

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Sarah Walsh joining us as well as we break down

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: all the.

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: News in the NFL.

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: And we did have some news today out of Baltimore

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: regarding Justin Tucker. We thought things might be headed in

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: this direction when the Ravens drafted Tyler Loop, a kicker,

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: in the sixth round, just a couple of short weeks ago.

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker, after thirteen seasons out in Baltimore. There are

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: the accusations of his improper conduct with missuses that have

26
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: been trickling in over the last couple of months. Here

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: Tucker has defended himself and proclaimed his innocence. The Ravens, though,

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: as we'll see in the statement that we bring up

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: from Eric DaCosta, the executive vice president and general manager

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: of the Ravens, calling it right off the bat a

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: football decision. John Harball, the head coach, had mentioned that

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: just the other day during rookie Mini Caamp and the

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Ravens have been adamant they will make a football decision

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: and this could be a football decision. Ian in large

35
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: part became because Tucker made only seventy three percent of

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: his field goals. Let's s Fith's face it, he struggled

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: mightily down the stretch. You add these accusations on top

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: as the investigation is still.

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: Going on in them.

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: But in the end, the raven saying it was a

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: football decision to move on from Justin Tucker.

42
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: I think it's fair to say it was a football decision,

43
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 3: mostly because of Justin Tucker's age and the struggles that

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 3: had this year, especially compared to the bar that he

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: set throughout his entire potentially Hall of Fame career, multi

46
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: year Pro Bowler, multi year All Pro. However, you cannot

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: say that this is only a football decision. Really, this

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: is about so much more in these decisions, especially when

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: it comes to saying goodbye one of the all time

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: greats of a franchise.

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: They don't exist at a vacuum.

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: Yes, thirty five years old, Justin Tucker has earned a

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: high salary, been one of the highest paid kickers in

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: the NFL. He struggled this year and all that, but

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: the many many allegations sixteen I believe from Baltimore Area

56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: Messuse's allegation that Tucker and his family have denied allegations

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: the NFL is still looking into. Of course, they played

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: a role, and as soon as became clear that the

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: Ravens were at least thinking about moving on from as

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: soon as it became clear that they drafted Tyler Loop

61
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: in the sixth round of this draft, you knew that

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: it was at least possible that Justin Tucker's days were numbered.

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: That is, of course what happened today. The original play

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 3: from the Ravens was to let this investigation play out,

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: let the NFL come to its decision on what it

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: meant for the future of Justin Tucker. In the end,

67
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: they decide, you know what, drafted kicker, move on. It

68
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: is the end for Tucker with the Ravens. That would

69
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: not be surprised. Getting the allegations and his age and

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: his performance. This is the last time we see Tucker

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: in an NFL uniform.

72
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 5: No decision like this it's ever made in isolation. It

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 5: was a football decision in the sense that he was

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: not a good kicker last year. As a matter of fact,

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 5: he was one of the worst kickers in the NFL

76
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 5: last year. If Justin Tucker was still the ninety percent

77
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: successful kicker than he had been for most of his career,

78
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: would he still be.

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 6: On the Ravens. Possibly so.

80
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 5: Would they have waited longer to see how the investigation

81
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: played out, maybe so, But those were not the conditions

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 5: that they were operating under. He had the worst season

83
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 5: of his career by a lot. He cost them games,

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 5: and then, of course, the embarrassment of the allegations and

85
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: the unknown of an investigation. The investigation is still going on.

86
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 5: We don't know how it's going to be resolved, We

87
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 5: don't know when it's going to be resolved. And so

88
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: if you're the Baltimore Ravens, you have to look at

89
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 5: the uncertainty of the fact that you have a thirty

90
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: five year old kicker coming off not just the worst

91
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: season of his career, but the worst.

92
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 6: Season of his career by a lot.

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: He went off a cliff last season and cost them games.

94
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 5: If you're looking at that set of circumstances, do you say, well,

95
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 5: let's hang on to him and see how this investigation goes,

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 5: or do you say, listen, it's time to move on.

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: The Other part of just strictly the football part of

98
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 5: this is during the season last season, they couldn't identify

99
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 5: what the problem was.

100
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 6: The coaches couldn't. Justin Tucker couldn't.

101
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 5: They kept saying things like, he's doing great in practice,

102
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 5: He's doing all the routine things that he always does.

103
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 5: They couldn't figure out what was wrong. Well, if you

104
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 5: can't identify the problem, you sure can't fix it. And

105
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 5: certainly the Ravens made a decision they were not going

106
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 5: to sit around with all that was going on around

107
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: them to stay with Justin Tucker.

108
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Now, and Judy, you're right, John Harball was adamant in

109
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: his defense of John Harball. They didn't even want to

110
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: bring in kickers for tryouts. They wanted all indications that

111
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: they were sticking behind Justin Tucker late last season, again

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: before the allegations arose. But now at the age of

113
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: thirty five, and you mentioned his age, and do four

114
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: point two million dollars this upcoming season, there'll be a

115
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: post June first designation to help with the cap. At

116
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: four point two million in cash comes off the books.

117
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: And you've got the presence of Tyler Loup, whom senior

118
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: special teams coach Randy Brown. He handles the kickers and

119
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: the kicking operation was certainly high on before the draft.

120
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: So looking like Tyler Loop has a clear path now

121
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: to be the Ravens kicker, the first change at the

122
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: position in thirteen years. Elsewhere in the DMV today we

123
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: had an announcement, and a big one at that the

124
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven NFL Draft. Now, the twenty twenty six,

125
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: by the way, is in Pittsburgh, but the twenty twenty

126
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: seven is now slated for Washington, DC on the National

127
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: Mall right by that Washington Monument. Hopefully we won't have

128
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: any audio issues like they experienced with that Vietnam soldier

129
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: by the name of Forrest Gump.

130
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: Couldn't hear what he was saying.

131
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to have that problem there.

132
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: They are expecting over a million fans over three days

133
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven. Here is Donald Trump, Roger Goodell,

134
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: and Josh Harris.

135
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: I don't think I was just saying to Roger, I

136
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: don't think there's ever been anything like that.

137
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 7: That's a good idea.

138
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 8: In fact, maybe we could use it for other things.

139
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 9: Also, I have an.

140
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 10: Idea it's going to be beautiful. It's going to be

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 10: something that nobody else will ever be able to duplicate

142
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 10: that I don't suspect. It's very exciting.

143
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 9: Draft has really become one of the great entertainment and

144
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 9: sports events. Just a week ago in Green Bay we

145
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 9: had over six hundred thousand people attend. The year before

146
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 9: in Detroit we had close to eight hundred thousand. As

147
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 9: the President remarked, we believe will be well over in

148
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 9: May and when we come here to DC in twenty

149
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 9: twenty seven. So we not only believe it's a great site,

150
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 9: we believe it's consistent what the President said, which is

151
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 9: investing in our communities, investing specifically here in the nation's

152
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 9: capital one that I grew up here in Washington, d C.

153
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 9: And it's particularly important. We think we can have a

154
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 9: tremendous impact on this community.

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: What a great day for Washington.

156
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 11: I mean to host the NFL Draft in twenty twenty

157
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 11: seven on the mall. I believe we'll get over a

158
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 11: million people and it's going to be an amazing day

159
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 11: and it'll showcase what Washington's all about.

160
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: You see a draft pick at some point celebrating by

161
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: going for a splash in the mirror pool. That would

162
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: be fantastic, Judy, you're callings in the draft in DC.

163
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: This is just the next event in the absolutely remarkable

164
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: renaissance of the Washington Commanders. This would never have happened

165
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: under the prior ownership, just as a new stadium in

166
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: the district would never have happened under the prior owners

167
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 5: It's less than two years ago that Josh Harris was

168
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 5: approved as the new owner of the Washington Commanders, and

169
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 5: in that time, they have hired the right coach, hired

170
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 5: the right general manager, drafted the right quarterback, gone to

171
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 5: an NFC championship game, already took a big step toward

172
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 5: getting a stadium built in the district, and now they're

173
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 5: going to bring the draft to the National ball It's

174
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 5: a remarkable turnaround for one of the flagship franchises for

175
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 5: the NFL, and I know that the league is thrilled

176
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 5: with the success of that franchise.

177
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: It really does Judy feeling return of Washington, d C

178
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: To the NFL landscape. And you know, I mean, you

179
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: could see Roger Goodell up there today how much this

180
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 3: means to him.

181
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: He has talked in the past.

182
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: About, you know, let's say, going at games at the

183
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: RFK site and just how much DC means to the NFL.

184
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: Get a new stadium to be built, usually that comes

185
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: with a Super Bowl along with it. Now we know

186
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: for sure they are hosting a drafty monumental day for

187
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: Washington and they're not done yet, but a little bit

188
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 3: of a mission accomplished day for Josh Harris and the Commanders.

189
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeap listen, landover Maryland, no offense, but you go to

190
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: a game there you cover a game there, you go

191
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: nowhere near all of these amazing landmarks in the downtown area.

192
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: So it feels good that things are starting to be

193
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: redirected toward DC proper.

194
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: That is fantastic. On the other side of the country.

195
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Now, we're gonna go and check in on the Los

196
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams because Matthew Stafford, as ore Ian Rappaport reported

197
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: this morning, two years eighty four million dollars forty four

198
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: this year, with four million, all already paid. These details.

199
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: You're saying, well, wait a minute, wasn't this like months ago? Well,

200
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: those details were hammered out back then. They were finally

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: finalized today. So Matthew Stafford locked in Sean McVay, the

202
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: head coach, hoping that Stafford is going to play much

203
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: longer than the two years that are on that contract.

204
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: We shall see elsewhere in the state of California concerning

205
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Yeah, we're getting there. I promise you we're

206
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: getting there. Brock Party in the forty nine ers, they're

207
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: making progress. It's slow, steady progress. We're finally in the

208
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: area where everybody accepts what we've been telling you for

209
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: months now, which is that Brock Party is going to

210
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: make somewhere in the fifties on millions per year on

211
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: this deal, if and when it gets done. They continue

212
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: to try to get it done as early as possible.

213
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: Ian.

214
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: I think you mentioned today on the Pat McAfee show,

215
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken that they are making progress here

216
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: as well.

217
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does seem to First of all, nothing immin

218
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 3: on the brock Party contract with the forty nine ers.

219
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 3: Is not like you got to tweet ready and you're

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: going to hit set. That's not where they are. But

221
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: it does seem to be positive and headed in the

222
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: right direction. That's really all you're looking for in a

223
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: time like this. It's the spring, there's no real deadline.

224
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: Sometimes teams try to get things done maybe before mandatory

225
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: mini camp. If that doesn't happen, it's like, all right,

226
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: do they get it done sometime before training camp. That's

227
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: usually the timeline for these big time quarterback contracts. But

228
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: you're right, Mike, it does seem block Party going to

229
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: make in the fifties, and at least right now, it

230
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: seems to be going well progressing for all sides.

231
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 7: Yep.

232
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: We will let you know when we get there. We'll

233
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: see if we get to OTAs and it's not done.

234
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Does brock Party try to make some noise by not attending.

235
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot of times what you do when these

236
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: things happen. He has been at the off season workouts

237
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: because things have been progressing. Meanwhile, before we get to

238
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: the OTAs, we've got these rookie mini camps that are

239
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: wrapping up, including the Chiefs who invited sixty sixty tryouts.

240
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: A lot of times you get maybe in the teens

241
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: or the twenties, they've got sixty tryouts.

242
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: No stone unturned.

243
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: For the Kansas City chief and Andy Reid as they

244
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: look to fill out their roster.

245
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 8: There's only what maybe sixteen fifteen sixteen of them that

246
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 8: whether it's the seven draft picks and ten or so

247
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 8: others that have been signed as free agents college free agents.

248
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 8: So the rest of the guys are just invites to

249
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 8: this camp and as free agents, and that's a challenge

250
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 8: for him to catch our eye. They're going about it

251
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 8: the right way, and it's literally that I mean, how

252
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 8: are you going to Are you going to make the

253
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 8: catch or are you going to make the throw, or

254
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 8: are you going to make the coverage adjustment that you

255
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 8: need to make? On the back end and defensive line.

256
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 8: How you're it's all passed, so do you have rush

257
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 8: ability in that linebackers? Same my coverage and kind of

258
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 8: an understanding you're grasping the defensive part that we're asking.

259
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 8: So anyways, all of that is part of it. And

260
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 8: that's where we look at.

261
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Genia now joining us Ian Rappaport, Geniepatista, and myself.

262
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: It's always the first round pick that you're obviously looking

263
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: at first. For the Chiefs, that's Josh Simmons, and by

264
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: the way, was a fascinating The Eagles were trying to

265
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: trade up and then they finally flipped with Brett Beach

266
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: and everybody say, why did they do that? Even Howie

267
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: Roseman said, we probably just gave him a free pick

268
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: there to go from thirty one to thirty two where

269
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: they take Simmons. What are you hearing about Simmons so

270
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: far out of Chiefs camp.

271
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: Look, chief so excited about him.

272
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 12: Obviously they hope he can be their long time left tackle,

273
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 12: but they're also taking it very slow. Look, he went

274
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 12: through the rookie minute camp. He was only involved in drill.

275
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 12: It didn't involve defense, So they tried to make sure

276
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 12: he wasn't going to get hit or do anything crazy.

277
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 12: But they like the way he was moving around. That

278
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 12: patilla tendon injury he had. I'll talk about how hard

279
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 12: it is to recover from it, but they feel like

280
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 12: he's on schedule. They're hoping he can be ready for

281
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 12: training camp. They love everything about his traits. They talk

282
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 12: about his feet, his balance, and they have jo little

283
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 12: more left tackle.

284
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 4: Right now. We're better and they brought in.

285
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 12: They're hoping this guy will be the long term answer

286
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 12: and taking it slow is a good way to approach that.

287
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: Well.

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 5: Fixing that offensive line and getting that offensive line settled

289
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 5: down was their number one issue going into the off season. Obviously,

290
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 5: it was laid bare by the Philadelphia Eagles in the

291
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 5: Super Bowl. They've now committed quite a few resources to it, right.

292
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: I mean, they just used their first round draft pick

293
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 5: on a tackle. They spent money on it. They've thrown

294
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 5: money on it at it in free agency. Now they

295
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: need to get that offensive line on the field to

296
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 5: the extent they can. As we know that the first

297
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 5: round draft pick is rehabbing an injury, so we'll have

298
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 5: to wait for a training camp before he can go

299
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 5: through a full workload, but they need to get that

300
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 5: offensive line on the field and working together and settled.

301
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 5: Last year, part of the problem was there was so

302
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 5: much shuffling going on. Some of that was injury related,

303
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 5: but they just couldn't get set and it showed repeatedly

304
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 5: week after week. They need to get the offensive line set.

305
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 5: They need them to get their timing and their with

306
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 5: them together, because that was their undoing last season. Everything

307
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 5: else is in place for the Chiefs to make another

308
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 5: big push this year if they can get this right.

309
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: Man, if they nailed the first first round pick, obviously

310
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: a huge deal and great things for this offensive line.

311
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: And we spent so much time focusing in on the

312
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: first round pick, I want to focus in on another pick,

313
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: Ashton Gilatee, which I just nailed the pronunciation of thank

314
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: you very much. Third rounder from Louisville has not gone

315
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: into a lot of conversations. Jeff, tell me about this

316
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: pick and why he's going to contribute for the Chiefs.

317
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 12: He quietly could be the biggest contributor of this rookie

318
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 12: class just because of his ability.

319
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 4: As a pass rusher.

320
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 12: Quietly, as has kept this team had a hard time

321
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 12: rushing the passer where Chris Jones wasn't on the field,

322
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 12: and so they still have George carl optics there.

323
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 4: But they've had a lot of questions.

324
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 12: And on the other side with Charles Menahu Carry's acl

325
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 12: a couple of years ago, Felix and a duque Zama

326
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 12: first round pick a couple of years ago, has it

327
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 12: worked out? Mike Dana got a game, a long term

328
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 12: deal to last year, hasn't stepped up. So this guy

329
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 12: has the ability to a latte. Playing at Louisville, he

330
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 12: had eleven sacks as a junior. They left his speed

331
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 12: the power. They feel like even though he's not the

332
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 12: biggest guy in the world, with the longest arms, he

333
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 12: can really wreck a game plan and get to the quarterback,

334
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 12: go right through offensive tackles. So don't be surprised to

335
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 12: you hear his name a lot because he has an

336
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 12: opportunity to play and make a big impact.

337
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: He got good hair too, right, Yeah, I can't underst that.

338
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: I gotta say Barbara Weedy, right yeah.

339
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: Earlier today, the Ravens made an expected but consequential decision

340
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: releasing Justin Tucker. There embattled Kicker, one of the best

341
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: players all time, in the organization, one of the best

342
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,479
Speaker 3: kickers in NFL history, someone who has been accused of multiple,

343
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: multiple allegations of inappropriate behavior sexual in nature. The NFL's

344
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: investigation is ongoing, but the Ravens officially say goodbye to

345
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: Tucker in part because they did draft a kicker in

346
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: Tyler Loop, one of several players who were walking into

347
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: Ravens rookie mini camp that.

348
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 13: By the way, and did today.

349
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: As we move on from the Tucker situation, now in

350
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: the past, these rookies now in the future. Let us

351
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 3: welcome in Mark Ross and Brian Baldinger. Mark, we'll start

352
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 3: with you. So we obviously know what the Ravens did

353
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: last year. Excellent season, coming right up there, close, just

354
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 3: not close enough. Bring back a ton of the same guys.

355
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: What are we looking forward to for the Ravens in

356
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five season.

357
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 14: That's when a story for the Ravens last few year

358
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 14: is just not close enough, not able to beat case,

359
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 14: couldn't beat Buffalo. So these moves that they're making, especially

360
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 14: these first two picks this year, the first round pick

361
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 14: Malachi Starts the safety, the versatile safety, and second round

362
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 14: pick Mike Green from Marshall Well, I thought was the

363
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 14: second best edg rusher in the draft. I mean, really,

364
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 14: as the Ravens do in the draft, completely crushed it

365
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 14: with those two starts. Will probably step in right away

366
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 14: opposite Kyle Hamilton, given that secondary tons of versatility, and

367
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 14: Mike Greed, even though he might not start at this point,

368
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 14: he might be the best pass rusher on the team. Baldy,

369
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 14: Kyle Vandoi getting up there in age a little bit.

370
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 14: They've took in swings and missus not missus, but with

371
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 14: o Way and Ojabo haven't really panned out to be

372
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 14: those consistent forces. So Mike Greed might lead the team

373
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 14: in sacks this year. So the Ravens really, with these

374
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 14: two moves, as they do, they're going.

375
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 13: To be in the hunt. Baldy, it's just ten v's

376
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 13: to get them over the top.

377
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 10: Well, we're there, one of the best draft in development teams,

378
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 10: and so that's why they stay on top, why they

379
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 10: stay competitive while they keep knocking.

380
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 7: Even though they're coming up a little short. I mean,

381
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 7: just think about this.

382
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 10: Nine days ago, they had five sixth round picks and

383
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 10: when he drafted Tyler Loop, nobody knew what was going

384
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 10: to happen to Justin Tucker. But all of a sudden,

385
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 10: the only kicker that was drafted loop out of Arizona.

386
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 7: It looks like it's a pretty important kick.

387
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 10: I'm and I pretty important pick right here, and he'll

388
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 10: get plenty of coaching from Randy Brown, their kicking coach.

389
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 10: But in addition to this point, I'm a Malachi Starts.

390
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 10: Everybody thought, uh, probably the best safety in this draft

391
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 10: team with Oar, Darius Washington, Kyle Hamilton, you got your

392
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 10: three safeties, Mike Green. When I was at the Senior

393
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 10: Bowl this year, Mark, he literally was number one in

394
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 10: every single defensive line drill. He started every drill. I

395
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 10: don't care if it was one on ones, if it

396
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 10: was individual drills. He started every single drill. And he

397
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 10: just wanted to assert himself as a leader. And I

398
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 10: think Chuck Smith, the pass rushing coach, will side we'll

399
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 10: see that and identify that, and I would I'd be

400
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 10: surprised if he doesn't get on the field right away.

401
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 10: Met contribution. Emery Jones, the LSU tackle can play guard tackle.

402
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 10: He drafted three line including the only HBCU player drafted, Carson.

403
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 7: Vincent, who's at the Senior Bowl as well.

404
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 10: You just go down this list and you can just

405
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 10: see guys Teddy Buchanan at a cow unfortunate he tackles

406
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 10: last year immediately, Special teams contribution, some of the stuff

407
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 10: that we see year and year out from these picks

408
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 10: later in the draft, how they get on the field,

409
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 10: how they develop the more and how it keeps them

410
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 10: on top of this division.

411
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 9: Yeah.

412
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, and that's why Baltimore is for years.

413
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: Let big ticket free agents walk, replace them, draft them,

414
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: develop them. That's how an organization that's successful stay successful.

415
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: Mark Baldi, thank you very much. More from you guys

416
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 3: to come. Of course, let's focus in on the Tampa

417
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers. I'm Mecca at Buka, a draft pick that

418
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 3: is everyone excited in Tampa Bay, including our good friend

419
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 3: Sarah Walsh who joined us. Nice.

420
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: Buccaneers rookie camp is approaching and Mecca Igbuka the first

421
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: round pick, arriving in the sweetest shirt. Hey, what's up,

422
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: Nelson Luis Buccaneers media relations. Uh, that is an amazing shirt.

423
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: I'm not a bucket, never been one, not a fan

424
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: of any team right now, but I would love to

425
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: have I would wear that shirt. That's how sweet. That

426
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: shirt is Sarah Walsh sa.

427
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: If you can get me one this medium. So depending

428
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 2: on how it runs, I'll take either one.

429
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: Welcome Welcome to the Probrank Beck a book part of

430
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: a Buccaneers offense that they are excited for in twenty

431
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: twenty five.

432
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think when the Bucks went into this draft,

433
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 15: they had definite needs on defense, and I think that's

434
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 15: what everyone was looking at. So there was some surprise

435
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 15: when nineteenth overall, then in that first round they take

436
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 15: a wide receiver. But you have ad Jason light the

437
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 15: general manager, saying when you've got a guy, a defensive

438
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 15: minded guy like Todd Bowles running uphill, saying we've got

439
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 15: to draft this guy. I think it speaks volumes to

440
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 15: what they believe he can mean to this organization. And

441
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 15: now you give a quarterback in Baker Mayfield who's coming

442
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 15: off a career high forty one touchdown season. He hasn't

443
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 15: lost a single starter. On offense, you've got a thirty

444
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 15: one year old Mike Evans who's never had.

445
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 16: Under one thousand receiving yards.

446
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 15: You got a twenty nine year old pro bowler, and

447
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 15: Chris Godwin who's coming off injury but is very hopeful

448
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 15: that he'll be back for the start of the season.

449
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 15: You have a Buka who you're looking at footage of

450
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 15: right now, who everyone in this organization is so high on.

451
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: And then Mike.

452
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 16: It's an abundance of riches.

453
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 15: Because you got Jalen McMillan, who's coming off his rookie

454
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 15: season one in which he was incredibly impressive.

455
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 16: I spoke to McMillan today.

456
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 4: He told me the.

457
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 15: Second he found out that they were taking a book,

458
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 15: he DMed him said, I'll help you with whatever you need,

459
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 15: and you should listen to this guy, right because towards

460
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 15: the end of the season he really came on. From

461
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 15: weeks fourteen to eighteen, there's not a receiver in the

462
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 15: league that had more touchdowns than Jalen McMillan over that span.

463
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 15: He had five consecutive games with a touchdown as a rookie.

464
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 15: Only Randy Moss had more. You know, McMillan told me

465
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 15: there's an offensive coordinator that's new again. This has sort

466
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 15: of been the same story for the Buccaneers for the

467
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 15: last couple of years because the guys keep leaving for

468
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 15: head coaching jobs.

469
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 16: And it's now Josh Bizzard's job.

470
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 15: But McMillan told me today things are very familiar there,

471
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 15: they are very comfortable, and he said there's no reason

472
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 15: why they couldn't be the best offense in the league

473
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 15: if they go about their busines this offseason the right way. Hey,

474
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 15: Jason light said that receiving room called him a bunch

475
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 15: of unicorns, So we'll see how magical they can be, Mike.

476
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: G unicorns like it.

477
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, we had Desmond

478
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: Watson on the other day, the four hundred and now

479
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: thirty pound defensive tackle they sign as an undrafted free agent.

480
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: Not a lot of draft picks on that side of

481
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: the ball. What are we looking at defensively for the Bucks?

482
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 6: Okay, So I think a lot.

483
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 15: Of people thought that they might go corner right out

484
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 15: of the gate, and that's something that this Buccaneers team

485
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 15: really needed.

486
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 16: Todd Bowles, when you think of him, this is a.

487
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 15: Defensive coach and defense has really never been an issue

488
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 15: here for the Buccaneers, and it sort of was.

489
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 16: Last season.

490
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 15: Only three teams gave up more passing yards than the Buccaneers.

491
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 15: So after they got Abuca, because they obviously loved this guy,

492
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 15: they went cornerback in the second round.

493
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 16: They went cornerback in the third round, Notre Dame's Benjamin Morrison.

494
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 15: They went and got Kansas State's Jacob Parrish, and they

495
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 15: believe that that will help certainly.

496
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 16: Adapt Jamel din as the starters. I am Accomson starter,

497
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 16: but they.

498
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 15: Had depth issues there and so they feel like they've

499
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 15: that they hope that they've addressed it. And Mike guh

500
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 15: we all believe down here in Tampa that Todd Bowles

501
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 15: clearly we'll get a defensive thing figured out if he

502
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 15: has to.

503
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I missed what I meant to say. It was

504
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: not a lot of defensive front. But they got those

505
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: guys in the back end, including Benjamin Morrison. Go back

506
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: and watch that draft call again because it was just

507
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: that amazing to watch. Benjamin Marris and a friend of

508
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: the in Saturday guessed previously and hopefully again in the future.

509
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 16: Just like you, Sarah, we'll get your shirt.

510
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 13: Micing Green Baypackers. For the first time since two thousand.

511
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 7: Last a wide receiver.

512
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 13: Matthew Bolder.

513
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 8: Detroit Lions like ty League Williams defensive tackle Ohio Sat.

514
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 4: The Chicago Bears.

515
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: Select Coaston Bloodlin.

516
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 7: Miss again.

517
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Vikings.

518
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 13: Select Jonavan Jackson, Yuard Ohio SA.

519
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 5: More shots of living room celebrations. That's what I say

520
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 5: about the draft. Let's take another look at the NFC.

521
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 5: North Baldy and Mark Ross are here with me, Judy Batista,

522
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 5: all right, let's start with the Chicago Bears, who actually

523
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 5: have had a very active offseason, doing a whole lot

524
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 5: to make Caleb Williams life a lot better. They worked

525
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 5: on the offensive line first, they hired Ben Johnson. To me,

526
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 5: the thing left to do is they got to put

527
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 5: it all on the field and put it all together.

528
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 10: Well, Judy, I mean you look at what they did

529
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 10: in free agency, and then you back it up with

530
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 10: you know, Colson Lovelin the first tight end pick. A

531
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 10: little surprise maybe to some people, but they actually love them.

532
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 10: And Luther Burdon is going to be Is it excellent

533
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 10: in the slat for Missouri? I mean, two excellent pieces

534
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 10: and your draft OUSI Trapilla. What I see, Judy is

535
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 10: competition everywhere on the offensive line at receiver right now.

536
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 10: You can look along the defense at defense line and linebackers.

537
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 10: They have depth and they have competition. And if you've

538
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 10: Ben Johnson coming in you can't ask for anything more

539
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 10: as the first year head coach. Let's get this competition

540
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 10: going right now in mini camp in OTAs, take it

541
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 10: into training camp, and let's get the best people in

542
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 10: the field who'll kicked the season off.

543
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 5: All right, Mark, When I look at the Green Bay Packers,

544
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 5: the only thing that flashes into my head is first

545
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 5: round receiver. There are entire lifetimes that have gone by

546
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 5: where they haven't seen a first round receiver, and then

547
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 5: they took another receiver. Clearly the idea is to try

548
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 5: to get an elevated performance out of Jordan Love.

549
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: What do you say, No.

550
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 14: Doubt they gave the people what they wanted at the draft,

551
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 14: the draft being right there in Green Bay, Judy. So yeah,

552
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 14: it all starts and ends with Jordan Love. And we

553
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 14: know he struggled last year. I think that injury really

554
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 14: hindered him throughout the whole season. It never really looked

555
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 14: like himself to me. And when you look at their

556
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 14: receiving group, you know they've got some nice young playmakers

557
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 14: there and read but and Dobbs, but I don't see

558
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 14: a true true number one. So drafting Matthew Golden in

559
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 14: the first round, is he finally the answer for that

560
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 14: and then save Jon Williams is really sort of a

561
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 14: utility guy there that they'll have to mix and match,

562
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 14: similar to Read just a bigger version. So yeah, it's

563
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 14: all about getting Jordan Love as many resources as possible

564
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 14: and seeing if he can work that consistency out.

565
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 5: You know, Baldy, when you look at the Vikings, obviously

566
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 5: they made the change at quarterback, letting Sam Donald go,

567
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 5: and now JJ McCarthy is going to be the starter.

568
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 6: But really the story of the off season.

569
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 5: And you knew it from the minute their playoff game ended,

570
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 5: was they had to rebuild the interior of the offensive line.

571
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 5: It really caved in in the playoff game. Sam Donald

572
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 5: took the brunt of it. How do you think they've done.

573
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 7: I think you've done great.

574
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 10: And they're going to get Christian Darisol back at left tackle,

575
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 10: who you know missed the second half of the season

576
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 10: to go with Brian O'Neal at the right side. But

577
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 10: you draft Donovan Jackson plug and play with Ryan Kelly

578
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 10: and Will Freese.

579
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 7: I mean, there you go.

580
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 10: You got your eyes up front. Give the JJ McCarthy

581
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 10: error the best chance to succeed.

582
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: Right away.

583
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 10: We know the talent on the outside of what they have,

584
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 10: what Aaron Jones and the running backs can do, what

585
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 10: Kevin O'Connell can do as a play called, but give

586
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 10: them all of the tools necessary up front to get

587
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 10: the best protection for him and then open up the

588
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 10: most holes in the running game. I think that JJ

589
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 10: has a great chance get off to a fast start

590
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 10: because of what they've done to build that wall stronger

591
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 10: and better.

592
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 7: Than it was a year ago.

593
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 5: All right, Mark, we know the talent that is still

594
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 5: on the Detroit Lions. They also added pieces on both lines,

595
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 5: but tonim when I look at this team, the big

596
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 5: question is like the brain drain on the coaching staff.

597
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 5: They had to replace both coordinators. That is a compliment

598
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 5: to them, but still not the easiest thing to do.

599
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 5: How much of an adjustment period is there going to

600
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 5: be for the Lions?

601
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's always different.

602
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 14: You know, you can't just assume, you know, out goes

603
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 14: Aaron lenn incomes Kelvin Shepherd, and he worked with them

604
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 14: and it's going to be the same earning curve since

605
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 14: he's never done it before. So the onus will be

606
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 14: on Shepherd to say, Okay, I've got to put my

607
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 14: stamp on this defense and similar kind of Zach Orr

608
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 14: last year with the Ravens. It took him time to

609
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 14: get into the mix and find his groove there. So

610
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 14: Kevin Sheppard will have to do that. But it will

611
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 14: start by getting healthy. As we know last year Detroit,

612
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 14: every week guys were just going down. Towards the end

613
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 14: they of that playoff game against the Commanders, they really

614
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 14: couldn't stop them at all. So number one, get Aiden

615
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 14: Hutchinson back in that whole crew healthy and see if

616
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 14: they'd got a chance, because we know, I think the

617
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 14: offense will still be put up thirty against anyone, but

618
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 14: can the defense get any stops.

619
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 5: Still one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL,

620
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 5: maybe the most competitive division in the NFL.

621
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: Get ready for the twenty twenty five NFL season like

632
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: number eleven overall, he's got some some team teams nosing

633
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: around looking for the right fit. Jeffrey Jedia and Brian

634
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: Balding are always the right fit. Alongside me, Mike here

635
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: follow and Ian Rappaport.

636
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 4: We are looking for fit.

637
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: Jeffrey t Is gonna have an article up tomorrow, but

638
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: since you asked nicely, we'll give you a preview here.

639
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: JK. Dobbins, Jeff where do we put in?

640
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 12: I am going with the Chicago Bears, And I know

641
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 12: there's a buzz about Nick Chubb being that guy, but

642
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 12: I love what JK.

643
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 4: Dobbins brings.

644
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 12: He has a skill set similar to what DeAndre Slipped

645
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 12: has Ben Johnson.

646
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: That's super creative. I like what Dobbins showed last year.

647
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 12: First, he was able to stay healthy in a long

648
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 12: period of time, running for over nine hundred yards, and

649
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 12: I just feel like this guy could be a difference.

650
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 4: He's twenty seven years old, Baldy, Nick supp is thirty.

651
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: This makes all the sense in the world. For the

652
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 4: Bears still in this direction.

653
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 10: As they kind of build that nucleus. I mean, JK

654
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 10: is only twenty six years old Jet, so he's still younger.

655
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 10: He has had his injuries, but he's coming off his

656
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 10: best year. I kind of think like the Saints, I

657
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 10: think need playmakers. They have so many guys who got

658
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 10: injured this year at the wide receiving four, at the

659
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 10: quarterback position. I feel like they need some spark and

660
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 10: guys that can explode from that backfield.

661
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 4: Back there.

662
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 10: We know Kamara is there and Kendre Miller, but it

663
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 10: feels like there could be a place for JK Dobbins

664
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 10: in a Saints organization with a new coach and maybe

665
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 10: a new way of doing things.

666
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 4: Certainly rare this time.

667
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: You had to see a player that young, that talented

668
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 3: still available. No doubt JK Dobbins going to help someone.

669
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: Judea will Stefan Gilmour help someone. Former Defensive Player of

670
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: the Year, former big time is stud with the Patriots,

671
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: played last year with the Minnesota Vikings.

672
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: Getting up at age.

673
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 4: Still and do it? Where do we see him? Yeah?

674
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 12: Thirty five years old, and I know Miami makes a

675
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 12: lot of sense, but I'm gonna go Cincinnati Bengals here

676
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 12: because they have a young secondary.

677
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: All those corners there are super.

678
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 12: Young, second, third year guys, and I feel like bringing

679
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 12: in a player like a Stefan Gilmour, a proven veteran,

680
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 12: a guy who played really good last year in Minnesota,

681
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 12: a guy to still play man coverage, which defensive coordinator

682
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 12: Al Golden wants to do in Cincinnati. Again, I think

683
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 12: it's going to help a young defense and a young

684
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 12: team rebound Baldi.

685
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 4: You know, Jeff, you hit on a.

686
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 7: Couple of points here.

687
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 10: With Stefan, I mean, he's a coach on the field,

688
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 10: he's a coach in the defensive back room. He's a

689
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 10: guy that every young guy can lean on. And I

690
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 10: think the older you get, you should get to warmer

691
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 10: clients a climate. So like I think Miami they're probably

692
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 10: gonna lose Jalen Ramsey, They've lost Zavian Howard, They've lost

693
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 10: defensive backs, they lost Javon Holland, Like it seems like

694
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 10: Stefan Gilmore going to South Beach.

695
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 7: That's good for an older guy. Like out in the.

696
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 10: Humidity of South Florida right now, you start sweating the

697
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 10: minute you walk outside. That's good for whole guys that

698
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 10: need a little oil in the joints. I feel like

699
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 10: Stefan could fit in down here and play well for

700
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 10: him right now.

701
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: That's what it is.

702
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: Little oil in the joints there, Baldy, get that, you

703
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: get right. Justin Simmons, the veteran safety thirty one going

704
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: on thirty two, might need a little oil in the

705
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: joints as well.

706
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: So where are we putting him geographically?

707
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 12: Jeffrey Jadea, I like a reunion here with Vic Fangio

708
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 12: in Philadelphia. The Eagle defensive coordinator coached him when he

709
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 12: was the head coach in broccol and Fangio was the

710
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 12: head coach there, and I think this guy walks right

711
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 12: into that system, knows what he's doing.

712
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 4: They lost CJ.

713
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 12: Gardner Johnson last year who was a big playmaker for

714
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 12: them in the secondary. Justin Simmons is the fourth active

715
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 12: leader in interceptions right now for players still playing with

716
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 12: thirty two. I think he gives that secondary a booth.

717
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 12: M quinnon, Mitchell Cooper, Dejen Reblake and shipbald If this

718
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 12: makes all of sense in the world.

719
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, And I've been saying it all off season too. Jeff,

720
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 10: I agree, and it's not just a reunion with Justin

721
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 10: Simmons and Vic Fangel. He wants to come to Philadelphia.

722
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 7: He wants to be there.

723
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 10: You know, they drafted Andrew mccooba out of Texas, which

724
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 10: is good. They've drafted Sydney Brown to go read blanket ship.

725
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 10: There's there's players there, but nobody with the numbers, the interceptions,

726
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 10: like really the leadership that he can provide.

727
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 7: They lost Aarius Slay, they lost some leaders in that secondary.

728
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 10: He provides that he's another very very smart guy, understands

729
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 10: the game high football like you.

730
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 7: And when he wants to be there, he wants to

731
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 7: come to Philly. Just find a house in South Jerseys,

732
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 7: gonna He's gonna be here. He'll be fine.

733
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 3: They need a house, just an apartment. He might not

734
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: be there very long, just a couple of months. Go

735
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: in contribute in this second day that actually does make

736
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: a lot of sense. And one thing I think Justin

737
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: Simmons showed last year, and if I remember correctly he signed,

738
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: was it the middle of August. I feel like it

739
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: was the middle of August last year when he signed,

740
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 3: came in made a big time contribution today Atlanta Falcons

741
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: alongside Jesse Bates would be an excellent signing for someone.

742
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: Feels like an older player really just thirty.

743
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 6: One or so years old.

744
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 3: Justin Simmons binding his time, but I would expect him

745
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 3: to contribute to someone next season.

746
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 4: I listen.

747
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the warm climate for him though,

748
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: because he's got the pregame fits, he's got like the

749
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: wool long coats on, he's got the sea.

750
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 2: He'll be fine.

751
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: He'll be fine from that walk to the car to

752
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: the locker room. My guy Jens playbook cooking him up Ian.

753
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: That is one of the guys that.

754
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: He does dress. So Justin Simmons, we'll see where he lands.

755
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Chidia tomorrow what time, I don't know.

756
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: Log on when you wake up and just keep hitting

757

Speaker 1: You're Dutch.

761
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Insiders. Hey, that's Colston Lovelin making

762
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 5: himself comfortable. It looks like at hallis Hall already eight

763
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 5: tenth overall draft pick tight end first round by the

764
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 5: Chicago Bears. Why is this relevant, Well, because he's probably

765
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 5: going to have an impact on what Mark Ross is

766
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 5: going to talk about next, and that is players who

767
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 5: are poised for breakouts in their second year. All right,

768
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 5: let's start this as an easy segue. Let's start with

769
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 5: the quarterback.

770
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 4: Mark.

771
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 14: Yeah, this has to be Caleb Williams here, And really

772
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 14: what could have want Drake Maye because the Patriots did

773
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 14: similar things. But Kayleb Williams, I just think number one

774
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 14: with Ben Johnson, new head coach who worked wonders with

775
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 14: that Detroit offense and making Jared Golf into a Pro

776
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 14: Bowl player, so prolific there what he did, and he

777
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 14: put his stamp on it right away, Judy in the

778
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 14: offseason and getting all those old linemen trading in signing

779
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 14: those free agents, and then he said, all right, well

780
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 14: in the draft, I'm not done. I got to keep

781
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 14: helping Kayleb Williams out, drafting Colston Loveland with that tenth pick,

782
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 14: and then doubling up in the second round with Luther.

783
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 13: Burden, the receiver, the versatile receiver out of Missouri.

784
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 14: So you pair those two guys with the DJ Moores,

785
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 14: Deandre's coming out of the backfield, and really it's just

786
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 14: a plethora of options for Caleb Williams, who showed the

787
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 14: huge flashes last year. Judy just didn't have the overall

788
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 14: consistency and that O line was not very good. So

789
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 14: everything now is set up for Caleb Williams to have

790
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 14: a Jade Daniels type performance this season.

791
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 5: You're right, there were definitely flashes of what we expect

792
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 5: to see from Caleb Williams.

793
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to wide receiver. Who you got.

794
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 14: Gotta go with Xavier Legatt out of the Carolina Panthers

795
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 14: there at the Kentucky Derby showing up a lot the

796
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 14: other day, so look at look again. He showed the flashes,

797
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 14: but it was the consistency. You see the stats there

798
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 14: just only forty nine receptions. But the most troubling part

799
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 14: when I saw was eight drops in eighty one target.

800
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 14: So when I evaluated him coming out of South Carolina,

801
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 14: I didn't see him drop many passes at all. Thought

802
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 14: he had some of the surest hands in the draft.

803
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 14: So now, with the development of Bryce Young coming on

804
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 14: towards the end of the second half of last season,

805
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,479
Speaker 14: they drafted tech McMillan at Arason in the first round

806
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 14: this year too, So those two guys together really need

807
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 14: to come on strong.

808
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 5: Certainly raised expectations for that offense. All right, let's close

809
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 5: it out on defense pass rusher.

810
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 13: Well, let's go Lot to Lot too.

811
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 14: Out of from the Colts there and coming out of

812
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 14: the draft again, I got thought was the best pass

813
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 14: rusher coming out last year, just had with such versatility

814
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 14: and so many moves and the relentless effort that just

815
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 14: didn't really transfer in year one. But I think this

816
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 14: year new defensive coordinator lou Anarumo will hope to have Lot,

817
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 14: to have a Trey Hendrickson type of role there and

818
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 14: have a breakout performance for that Colts defense that's going

819
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 14: to really need it with so many question marks at

820
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 14: the quarterback position of Judy.

821
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 13: So I think Lot too is poise for that breakout

822
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 13: because he's got all the tools.

823
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 5: All right, Mark has many more candidates for second year breakouts.

824
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 6: His column will be up.

825
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 5: On NFL dot Com probably by this morning, so tomorrow morning.

826
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 5: Such a keep hitting refresh when you wake up and

827
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 5: it'll pop up there.

828
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 6: Mark, thank you very much.

829
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 5: And when we return, Ian had a good weekend, he

830
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 5: was at the Kentucky Derby.

831
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,479
Speaker 6: Leah looks fantastic. Forget about Ian, Let's talk about Leah.

832
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 4: When we returned.

833
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: Recapping the biggest news of the day, the Ravens moving

834
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: on from Justin Tucker in what they deemed a football

835
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: decision after thirteen seasons, the last of which was the

836
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: worst of his career seventy three percent field goal make percentage.

837
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, perhaps they would.

838
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: Have addressed the position in the off season anyway, but

839
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: then you had the accusations of improper behavior with Messus's.

840
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: In the end, the Ravens decide to move on from

841
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker after drafting Tyler Loop in the sixth round

842
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: in this year's NFL draft. Elsewhere New Today, Julian Edelman

00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: converted quarterback.

848
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 2: He was a punt returner.

849
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: He was off injured early in his career, but became

850
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: reliable and available late in his career. And that amazing

851
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,080

00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 3: the great jockeys, and I tower over him by like

871
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 3: two or maybe even three inches.

Speaker 3: be extremely happy.

876
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:32,520

879
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: or sometimes ridiculous, although the NFL players came out strong.

880
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: Here's Joe Burrow at the Metcala right there, strong look,

881
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: little double breasted action. I don't know what color that is,

882
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:54,000

00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: what happens inside the Metcala?

886
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 6: Do you? I have no idea.

887
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 5: I've never attended the Metcala, that's for sure. They look fantastic.

888
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson is also there in like a voluminous jacket.

889
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,000
