1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: We've talked a lot for several months now about a 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver who is not in forty nine ers camp. 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: How about one who is Deebo Samuel gonna be on 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: this show. Tell us how the defending NFC champions are looking. 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Maybe a little something about Brandon Ayuk as well. It 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: is cut down day. We got some teams to keeping 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, the Giants kept three, one team kept four. 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: What does it all mean? We will dig into all 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: the big moves. Also got a big change to NFL 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: ownership rules that is now official. Now the crafts aren't 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: going anywhere. We will explain to you though, how it 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: could affect your team. 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: We haven't been cut yet. 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the insiders alongside Judy Bautista, Nian rapaport 15 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: I am Tom Peliicero. A lot of moves, a ton 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: of moves around the NFL, and in fact, there are 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: still four teams that have not announced their final cuts 18 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: three hours later, still waiting for the wire. Maybe a 19 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: surprise or two, Maybe it'll happened. In the next hour. 20 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: Of this show. 21 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,839 Speaker 1: We will get to all of those significant transactions. 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: Around the league. 23 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: But let's start out with a significant quote out of Cincinnati, 24 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: where Bengals head coach Zach Taylor spoke to the media 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: today for the first time since his star wide receiver 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase began practicing again on Sunday. Obviously a big 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: development in the ongoing hold in situation that has gone 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: on throughout the course of training camp for Jamar Chase. 29 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: Still no contract for Chase, but Zach Taylor certainly sounds 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: like he expects. 31 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 2: That guy to be in uniform. 32 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: What accounts ian Zach Taylor today saying that he does 33 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: anticipate Jamar Chase is going to be out there week one. 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: Not a surprise again with Chase getting back onto the field. 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: Where do we stand though, in terms of the contract 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: saga right now with Jamar Chase and what impact of 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: any is that's going to have in terms of his 38 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: level of participation when we get to week one. 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: First of all, great quote, great quote from Zach Taylor 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 3: being asked about Jamar Chase saying do you expect him 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: to play week one and simply saying yes. I think 42 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 3: it's fair to say that Zach Taylor has kept it 43 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: too an absolute and utter minimum. As far as discussing 44 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase's situation, he has kept it in house situally, 45 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: the only one of these things where we've gotten almost 46 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 3: no insight into what is happening, and I believe that 47 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: is in fact by design. Here's where it stands. Jamar 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 3: Chase the last couple of days has been practicing. Taylor 49 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 3: says he is going to play Week one. He is 50 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: a hold in, not a holdout. There's no choice but 51 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: to play week one. He's contractually obligated. He has not injured. 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: This all makes sense. My understanding is the two sides 53 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 3: are still discussing a potential long term extension that if 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: he got, it would make him either tied for the 55 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: highest paid receiver with Justin Jefferson or beating Justin Jefferson 56 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 3: by one cent, which I believe is in fact the 57 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: goal by Jamar Chase. 58 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 4: We will see over the next I don't know how 59 00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 4: many days. 60 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: I'm not going to do them at in my head, 61 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 3: but a couple of days till the season starts, whether 62 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: or not that happens. But that's the money part of it. 63 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: The football part of it is Jamar Chase is going 64 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: to play. 65 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever seen a cent in 66 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: a contract. I don't know how you would pro rate 67 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: one cent over like a five year type of contract. Anyway, 68 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: a lot of logistics involved. Point is Marchie some points 69 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: going to get his money. It's a matter of if 70 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: is it going to be now or is it going 71 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: to be later. A Son Reddick meanwhile, wanted that money 72 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: yesterday from the New York Jets after he was acquired 73 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: in the offseason from the Eagles. Has still not gone 74 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: through a walk through, a practice, a meeting, anything besides 75 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: a press conference with his new team. But he is 76 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: out there at least working out on the field. So 77 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: how quickly could a Son Reddick be ready to play 78 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: Robert Solo? 79 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 5: You know, like I said, he's a veteran. He knows 80 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 5: what he needs to get ready. You know, he's had 81 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 5: success in multiple buildings and multiple schemes with multiple coaching staffs, 82 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 5: and so he's going to know what he needs to 83 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 5: do to be ready for a week one. 84 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: Judy, this has been a string unique situation for the 85 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: past month plus here with Asan Reddick not showing up 86 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: the training camp. He is getting fine, He's never been 87 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: with this new team. What do you make of where 88 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: we stand right now? Just less than two weeks until 89 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: the season opener. How in the world does this whole 90 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: thing get resolved? 91 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 6: Well, today, Robert Salla, to me, sounded like a continuation. 92 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 6: If you remember about a week ago, maybe two weeks ago, 93 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 6: he said they would welcome Hassan Reddick in with open 94 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 6: arms whenever he comes in, and this seemed like a 95 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 6: continuation of that thought. Right, he's saying, this is a veteran. 96 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 6: He knows how to be ready. He knows how to 97 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 6: keep his body ready for a game. He's played in 98 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 6: multiple schemes in multiple buildings. Basically, he could walk in 99 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 6: and walk right onto a playing field and participate as 100 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 6: a member of the New York Jets. He also said, 101 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 6: plenty of time. I mean, there's not plenty of time. 102 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 6: There's whatever it is, ten days until the season starts, 103 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 6: eleven days. You're basically looking at they have a week 104 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 6: to see if he will come in, if you want 105 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 6: to get him on the practice field at all. But 106 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 6: this was Robert Sala's way of saying, if he comes 107 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 6: in before the season kicks off on Monday night football 108 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 6: in San Francisco, he is going to participate. The question 109 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 6: is will he come in? We don't know. We know 110 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 6: he wants a new contract. We know the Jets are 111 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 6: holding firm to the idea that they're not going to 112 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 6: negotiate with somebody who's not in the building. So something's 113 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 6: got to give at some. 114 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 2: Point, all right, So it is cut down. 115 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: In the NFL, all teams are required to get down 116 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: to the fifty three man roster limit by four pm 117 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: Eastern time. Earlier today, I mentioned off the top of 118 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: the show the four teams had not released their cuts. 119 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: The Chiefs just did. They confirmed what. 120 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: Ian reported earlier today, which is that the Chiefs are 121 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: waving wide receiver Kadarius Tony, former Giants first round draft pick. 122 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: He was caught a numbers crunch in Kansas City, where 123 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: they also just announced too that they have waived Justin Ross, 124 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: as well as one of their backup quarterbacks, Chris Alatakun 125 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: in New England, Bailey Zappi, one of the quarterbacks who 126 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: got let go earlier today, a guy who had started 127 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: at times during his career in New England. He was 128 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: let go at the roster cutdown last year as well, 129 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: under slightly different circumstances. 130 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: They drafted two quarterbacks this year. 131 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: Drake made Joe Milton, both those guys on the fifty 132 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: three man roster. I would anticipate Zappi has some interest 133 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: around the league, and the same goes for Desmond Ridder, 134 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: the former Atlanta Falcons starter, former star at the University 135 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. He was traded in this offseason to Arizona 136 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: for wide receiver Rondell Moore. Well More severed a season 137 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: ending injury during training camp. Now Desmond Ridder also not 138 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: going to play a game for his new team. He 139 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: gets waived earlier today. Another player who baseball where he 140 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: was drafted. The body of work and the number of 141 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: teams that still potentially could use an upgrade at the 142 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: backup quarterback position, Desmond Ridder could land some place quickly. 143 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: You know who doesn't need another quarterback right now would 144 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: be the New York Giants. They kept three quarterbacks on 145 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: their team, Daniel Jones, their starter, Drew lock and yes, 146 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito continuing to stick with New York probably not 147 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: a surprise for the Giants, not just in terms of 148 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones' health, but the reality that the rules now 149 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: favor the teams give you an extra roster exemption for 150 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: having the third quarterback on your active roster. To you, though, 151 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: what if anything, does it say about their confidence in 152 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones coming off that injury that they decide to 153 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: set up the roster the way they did in that room. 154 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, doesn't it feel like more teams 155 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 6: kept three quarterbacks today? 156 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: I feel that way than we've seen in the past. 157 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: But in the case of the New York. 158 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 6: Giants, first of all, the obvious Daniel Jones is coming 159 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 6: off a bad knee injury, and Drew Lock got banged 160 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 6: up in training camp and during the preseason. He's got 161 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 6: a hip an oblique situation. So Tommy DeVito sticks. Brian 162 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 6: da Ball said, talking about the entire roster, it's fluid. 163 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 6: It's fluid, so certainly you could see changes here, but 164 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 6: they needed the insurance. I mean, Drew Lock is the 165 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 6: backup when he is healthy, but you don't know if 166 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 6: he's going to be healthy. And of course you know 167 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 6: Daniel Jones is coming off a big injury, so you 168 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 6: have to make sure he can get through a game. 169 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 6: And Tommy DeVito, look, he did provide a spark last 170 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 6: season when they needed it, and he was able to 171 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 6: get in there and run the offense. And obviously he 172 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 6: knows the offense even better now, so he sticks at 173 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 6: least for the time being, and certainly when Drew Locke 174 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 6: gets back to full health, and maybe when they see 175 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 6: if Daniel Jones can make it through some games here, 176 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 6: you know, then you see if they'll reevaluate. 177 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: There were a bunch of teams that went with two 178 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: quarterbacks on their initial fifty three man rosters today, but 179 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: you certainly understand based upon the number of players, twenty 180 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: six backup quarterbacks started games in twenty twenty four. While 181 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: some teams would decide to go with three, one team 182 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: in kept four quarterbacks. The question now is will four 183 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks still be on the PROWNS roster come League one? 184 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: Right, of course, about the Cleveland Browns, and you're right, 185 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: they have a starter in Deshaun Watch It should be 186 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 3: fine for the season. 187 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 4: They have dtr who they really like for the future. 188 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 3: And I would imagine view him as a potential future 189 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: backup quarterback. They also have Snoop Huntley, and then of 190 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: course they also have Jamis Winston, and I would say 191 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: both of those names came up in trade conversations. Jamis 192 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 3: obviously would be a different conversation because he's making a 193 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: lot more money. Snoop Huntley would be a little more 194 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: of a sort of lower signing a team looking to 195 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: add a backup quarterback. I wonder if that would make 196 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 3: sense with Minnesota Vikings did not end up happening, But 197 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: for the Cleveland Browns, I would expect them to have 198 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 3: at some point three quarterbacks. 199 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 4: We just don't know for sure who it's going to be. 200 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: And you're right, guys, there are plenty of time to 201 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: shape their roster. Probably not going to start with four, 202 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: but even if they do, it would sort of make 203 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 3: sense because guys do get injured. Teams do have needs 204 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 3: for quarterbacks. If this is a real asset they could have, 205 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 3: you know, get in a potential trade, then they should 206 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 3: probably just keep them and wait because injuries are unfortunately 207 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 3: going to happen. 208 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: Well, so many people within the league over the past 209 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: week have made the connections Snowpuntley the Chargers. They got 210 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: justin Herbert banged up. He has familiarity with Greg Growman's offense, 211 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: to the extent that the Chargers might have been thinking, hey, well, 212 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: just wait till he gets cut and then we'll claim 213 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: him instead of sign him. Instead of giving you something 214 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: for him. The Brown say no, no, no, you're gonna 215 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: have to You're gonna have to deal with us if 216 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: you want to be able to get that guy in 217 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: your roster. So some interesting decisions here to be made 218 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: in the coming days. One situation that got resolved earlier today, 219 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: the Rams found a new home for their inside linebacker 220 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: Ernest Jones, the fourth who gets traded for a late 221 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: round pickswap to the Tennessee Titans. Titans just lost one 222 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: of their linebackers to a season ending injury a couple 223 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: of days ago. Here or Ernest Jones ends up in 224 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: a new spot for him and certainly a new look 225 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee team overall now with head coach Brian Callahan. There 226 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: were a lot of players let go over the past 227 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: several days. Here look at some of the notable names. 228 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: We mentioned a few of them earlier today. Martavis Bryan 229 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: also his comeback maybe hit a little bit of a 230 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: speed bump. We'll see if he can land on the 231 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: Commander's practice squad. Alan Robinson, the Giants veteran wide receiver 232 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: who by all accounts to that a really good camp, 233 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: also ends up being released. Remember vested veterans, not just 234 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: young players now are allowed to sign on practice squad, 235 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: So some of these names that you're seeing here, as 236 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: well as the likes of Andras Carlson, will have to 237 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: go to waivers could have new teams in the coming days. 238 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: This guy's not going anywhere. 239 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: It's Deebo Samuel of the San Francisco forty nine Ers. 240 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: In fact, he's going somewhere in a couple of minutes here, 241 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna be on this show, The Insiders. So what's 242 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: going on in San Francisco? What's going on with his 243 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: teammate Brandon Ayukin?

For now, 262 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: he's still one of the top offensive weapons in the 263 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: NFL right now. I guess here on the Insiders debo 264 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: is with us, Tom Pelliicero, Judy Batista Ian rapport back 265 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: with you, deebo.

But I kind of like the 287 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 11: fact that it kind of shows not only like what 288 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 11: we're going through, like in the games what people get 289 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 11: to see, but all the things that they don't see 290 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 11: for is how bad we injured and like the things 291 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 11: that we got to do to take care of bodies, 292 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 11: to get out there and kind of put on a 293 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 11: show and get the fans of what they want to see. 294 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 4: DEEPO. 295 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 6: You had a good camp and obviously there are very 296 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 6: high expectations for this team, but there were some people 297 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 6: missing from camp. Maybe they'll show up. Trent Williams and 298 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 6: Brendon I you, how much does that affect the rest 299 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 6: of you who were there?

You 332 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 4: do all of that. 333 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 3: Was there something you did this offseason or in training 334 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 3: camp to get you to a point where your body 335 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 3: feels really good and you know you could sort of 336 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 3: keep this going for years to come. 337 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 11: So like this off season of you know, I've lost 338 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 11: two Super Bowls, lost the NFC Championship, Well I lost 339 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 11: two of them, and it's kind of like that fire 340 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 11: that I got, Like, man, like, I'm trying to put 341 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 11: myself in a position to be the best I can 342 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 11: every day in, day in, day out, and so just 343 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 11: taking advantage every opportunity I had this offseason fours being 344 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 11: in the best shape possible and able to come back 345 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 11: and help my team. 346 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 6: I know you individually lost some weight because you felt 347 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 6: that that would keep you in the best shape possible. 348 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: But more broadly, just as. 349 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 6: The team, like, what does the team have to do 350 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 6: to get over the hump? You've been so so close 351 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 6: so many times. What do you think the team has 352 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 6: to do to get there? 353 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 11: That's kind of like a hard question to answer because 354 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 11: like me personally, I feel like, you know, every time 355 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 11: we out there as a team as a whole, we're 356 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 11: giving it everything that we got. And I'm pretty sure 357 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 11: the other team is doing the same as well. But 358 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 11: I think it's just like more so of like honing 359 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 11: in on the details and like minor like of aras 360 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 11: that you will never know about that only we know 361 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 11: about it, that we can just correct and just try 362 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 11: to be as perfect as possible. But nobody's gonna be 363 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 11: perfect people. 364 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: I've I've got a photo. 365 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if we can go wide on me here, 366 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: but I got a photo up on my backdrop. It's 367 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: me and Maurice Jones Drew interviewing you the day after 368 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: you signed that big contract. 369 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: It was just two years ago. It was a. 370 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: Monster deal, still is a lot of money. But you've 371 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: seen all these other wide receiver contracts getting done. You 372 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: saw with Justin Jefferson got, you saw with Ceedee Lamb got. 373 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: You got two years left on this deal. You put 374 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 2: up numbers this year. 375 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: Is any part of you going, I'm gonna I'm gonna 376 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: get a little bit of that next year. 377 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 4: See control things that control, and. 378 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 11: If the season goes as well as it was, it 379 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 11: should know you would be right there knocking at the door. 380 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy, the guy throwing you passes, Well, we'll 381 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 3: see what payday awaits. 382 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 4: Brock party. That's a different conversation for a different day. 383 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 3: But you have seen him now this is your third 384 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 3: training camp with him, certainly in one of the NFL's 385 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 3: rising stars. Is there something you've seen this training get 386 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: where Rock Purty does maybe a little bit better, more 387 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 3: efficient than he has done previously, somewhere where he's kind 388 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 3: of improved as a quarterback. 389 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 4: Overall. 390 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 11: Like me, personally, I think rock decision making been outstanding 391 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 11: since he's stepped in a huddle. But overall, I think 392 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 11: thanks think got a little bigger what we call posaquaus. 393 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 11: But overall, I think like his decision making is through 394 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 11: the roof, and he's always calm and poised in the pocket. 395 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 11: I feel like his range just got a little bigger. 396 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 6: We heard you on the micd up reacting to a 397 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 6: Christian McCaffrey run. 398 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: So what have you seen from him? 399 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 6: It seems like every year he does something that just 400 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 6: continues to amaze all of us. What have you seen 401 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 6: from him so far this summer? 402 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 11: You're talking about Christian mccafrey. Man, the guy's a machine man. Man, 403 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 11: He's just man. The best bet I've seen. 404 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: So Deebo, last thing for you, Monday Night, You've been 405 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: on a lot of big stages, but Monday Night Football, 406 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: the opener against the Jets, you kind of know how 407 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: well you know, even internally, but also with the fans, 408 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: with the media, that that week one game kind of 409 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: sets the tone for how people feel about the team 410 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: coming out in that first game again with the entire 411 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: country watching, what do you think we're gonna see from 412 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: these twenty twenty four to forty nine ers. 413 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 2: Hey, man, ain't gonna give you too. 414 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 11: Much of a head start, man, but you turn you 415 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 11: turn the TV on, You sit back in your couch 416 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 11: and you turn TV on to you watching, and we 417 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 11: get on the show. 418 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: Athlete, you actually and you think what you think? 419 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: All right, that's the deal. And then you got to 420 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: come back after that. We'll talk to you at some point. 421 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: We're in the senior debo. Thanks a lot, man, best 422 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: the lot to look forward to having you back here. 423 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 2: On the Insiders real soon, man, for sure. 424 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: Thirteen days away from kicking back on the couch watching 425 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: Deebo and the forty nine ers take on the Jets, 426 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: Wallt's gonna look at those some of these rookies. In 427 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks here their first regular season action, 428 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Malik neighbors. 429 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: But who makes Brian Baldier's list of the best rookies 430 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: to watch. You probably aren't gonna be surprised. Some of 431 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 2: them are bigger guys. We'll explain next. On the Insiders. 432 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: NFL owners gathered today in Eagan, Minnesota to consider and 433 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: ultimately approve a measure allowing part ownership of clubs by 434 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: private equity firms. Here's what Commissioner Around Goodell had to 435 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: say about that development. 436 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 12: We've been very deliberate on this private equity. I think it's, 437 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 12: you know, an access to capital that I think it's 438 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 12: been interest to us for a long time. Other leagues 439 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 12: are doing it. We're doing a with a cap at 440 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 12: ten percent, so much less significant position, but I think 441 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 12: it's I think it's an appropriate thing to give teams 442 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 12: at liquidity and to reinvest in the game into their teams, 443 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 12: and I think it's as a positive development for us. 444 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 12: And I don't think all teams will take advantage of that, 445 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 12: but they will if they need that. I think it's 446 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 12: a it's a very good opportunity for them. On Curtis Martin, 447 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 12: Curtis deserves a tremendous amount of credit for bringing together, 448 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 12: you know, several incredibly blue chip firms between Blackstone, CBC, Carlisle, 449 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 12: and I think he has been the leader that he 450 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 12: is shown in tremendous leadership. He will be investing along 451 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 12: with them personally into his company as well as bringing 452 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 12: in an additional firm which is primarily focused on getting 453 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 12: people people of color into ownership positions. And this is 454 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 12: something that we've long fought for and tried to find 455 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 12: ways to encourage that. And it's a former NFL employeeho 456 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 12: happens to be black also Don Cornwell, who is a 457 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,719 Speaker 12: great executive and will likely be CEO of that. So 458 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 12: I think for a diversity front, it's a very positive 459 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 12: thing and that Curtis has been at the front of that. 460 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the insiders, Tom Pelaicerro, Judy Batista Ian 461 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: rapport with you. 462 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 2: Judy. 463 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: I want to start here with really the only two 464 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: words and all that that I understood, which was Curtis Martin. Yes, 465 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: that is the Pro Football Hall of Fame running back 466 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 1: who is also the co founder of Lootis, a platform. 467 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 2: That is part of this consortium group, which is one of. 468 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: The four permitted funds that are allowed to invest in 469 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: NFL teams. Can you explain the other like minute and 470 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: fifty three seconds there to me? 471 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 6: All Right, the most important thing to know is that 472 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 6: private equity funds are not going to be running your 473 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 6: football team. They're not going to own your favorite football team. 474 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 6: They can buy very small shares of football teams ten percent, 475 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 6: which is much less than they could buy in other leagues, 476 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 6: which I think have a cap at thirty percent for 477 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 6: most of the major sports leagues in the United States. 478 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 6: But what this is is you heard Roger Gordell say, 479 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 6: like it's capital. It's a ready way for owners to 480 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 6: access cash, millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in cash. 481 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 2: And that is important for teams. 482 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 6: Why well, lots of teams have, for instance, stadium projects 483 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 6: that they're working on, really expensive stadium projects that they're 484 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 6: working on, Facilities that they. 485 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 2: Need to upgrade. That's a really expensive thing. 486 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 6: This is a way for owners to get cash to 487 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 6: invest in the team, to invest in things surrounding the team. 488 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 6: It's also indicative of the rising valuations of teams. Whenever 489 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 6: a team comes up for so you see the numbers 490 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,479 Speaker 6: go up, up, up and we're all amazed at how 491 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 6: much they sell for. The Commanders just sold last year 492 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 6: for north of six billion dollars. 493 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 2: Well, there's a very small pool. 494 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 6: Of people who have the wherewithal and the desire to 495 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 6: buy a sports franchise, and so they need to take 496 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,959 Speaker 6: on limited partners. This is just going to be another 497 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 6: way to get a limited partner. And of course when 498 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 6: funds are collected, like private equity funds, when they are pooled, 499 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 6: they can write a much bigger check as a limited 500 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 6: partner than an individual can. 501 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 3: They're right, Judy, And it's not just infrastructure though certainly 502 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 3: the ability to improve stadiums, improve facilities, that's really come 503 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: in to focus more. 504 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 4: I would say the last two or three years. 505 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 3: Then I don't know at any time I can remember, 506 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: and that having that cash on hand to do that 507 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 3: is helpful also expected to be helpful when it comes 508 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 3: to player contracts. I mean, if you fully fund a 509 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 3: big time player contract, you have to take the cash, 510 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 3: you have to put it in essentially an account, and 511 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 3: it has to. 512 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 4: Sit there while it's fully guaranteed. 513 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 3: This allows more teams to take more just to have 514 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 3: more cash if they need it for these contracts. The 515 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 3: other thing I would say, and you touch on, this 516 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: is where we talk about the evaluation of some of 517 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 3: these franchises. Every team that does this, every team that 518 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 3: accepts the up to ten percent of this essentially outside 519 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 3: private equity money, is going to get a new valuation 520 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 3: at a time when teams are going to be scrambling 521 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 3: to get money to invest. I would expect this to 522 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 3: raise the value of every franchise that decides to do this, 523 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 3: probably raise the franchise the value of every franchise anyway, 524 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 3: which is. 525 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 4: Something that is very good. 526 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 3: And I don't know how many teams we're going to 527 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: get sold over the course of the next ten years, 528 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 3: but if one does, all it is going to do 529 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 3: is raise the price. 530 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 4: Which is good for the team, good for everyone. 531 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 3: The league sort of embracing a little bit of a 532 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 3: new day here in a somewhat different and more limited 533 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 3: way than maybe some of the other sports are. 534 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 2: A lot more from Judy. 535 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: You can read her article on this story NFL dot 536 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: Com slash Fatista. 537 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: But after this, oh, let's get back on the field. 538 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 8: What a scene for the first ever NFL draft in Detroit, Michigan, 539 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 8: the Motor City di choy. 540 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 2: Let's go back to Detroit twenty twenty four.

But he's been an 579 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 13: excellent play and didn't start the first preseason game. He 580 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 13: started the last two. I've been going back and forth 581 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 13: with Jason light the general manager, like he has given 582 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 13: this offensive line a spark. 583 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: That man right there is going to benefit that running 584 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: back right there. 585 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 13: They have a chance of being a very good offensive 586 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 13: line because when your center position is strong, your guards 587 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 13: are going to be strong. Your protection is going to 588 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 13: be better. And so far, it looks like it's been 589 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 13: pretty easy for Graham Barton to make that adjustment from 590 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 13: Duke where he was a left tackle the last couple 591 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 13: of years to now the starting center for the Campa 592 00:28:59,320 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 13: Bay Buccaneers. 593 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unbelievable versatility too. Even if the Bucks do 594 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 3: need to move him at some point from center, they 595 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 3: know he can basically play all the positions. And you know, 596 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: this was actually I remember earlier than I thought he'd 597 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 3: be drafted, but like this was the spot. I mean, 598 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 3: this is a team that needs a baller at center, 599 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 3: and I know they certainly feel like they have one. 600 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 4: Baldi. 601 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 3: I will try to not focus on the logo on 602 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 3: your sweater. I'll just ask you who. 603 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 4: Else do you like? 604 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 2: Rookie? 605 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 4: There we go, what other rookies you like? And I'll 606 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 4: just lay out to you in your sweatshirt. 607 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: Well, I just were sensory. 608 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 13: I just did a Baldi's breakdown on the left tackle 609 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 13: of the Tennessee Titans. The rookie left tackle the Mammoth 610 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 13: JC Latham, and he's had an excellent preseason. He played 611 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 13: very well the other night. Look, he was the right 612 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 13: tackle at Alabama, they moved to the left tackle. Bill 613 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 13: Callahan is his coach. I think Bill is amongst the 614 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 13: two or three best offensive line coaches in this league. 615 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 13: He's paired right next to last year's number one pick, 616 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 13: Peter Skarnsky. This has a chance of being one of 617 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 13: the best left side offensive lines. And I want to 618 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 13: disparage anybody on the right side or Lloyd Kushamari, you know, 619 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 13: at center. But between Latham and Skeronsky, you see the 620 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 13: movement in the run game that is violent, violent movement 621 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,959 Speaker 13: off the ball. I think they're going to be very 622 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 13: very good up front and that should benefit will Levis. 623 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: We'll see him week one against the Chicago Bears. 624 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: Baldy, are any rookies who aren't offensive linemen that you 625 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: really like can get? Can you take me outside of 626 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: your world right here and give me somebody else you're I. 627 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 13: Know I could have gone all the linemen easily, Tom, 628 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 13: but I mean you got to go. Caleb Williams. I 629 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 13: mean I mentioned Tennessee and Chicago first week right there 630 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 13: at Soldier Field. But you know, Caleb, I mean, look, 631 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 13: just look at the statusy of ten or twenty for 632 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 13: one hundred and seventy yards in the preseason. 633 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: But I was talking to him. 634 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 13: There at the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. 635 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 13: But the guy just brings juice. He brings confidence. He 636 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 13: plays the game with confidence. He did a couple of 637 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 13: things in that last preseason eight that he played in 638 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 13: that they said he can't do. That we saw him 639 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 13: do with Oklahoma and at USC get outside the pocket, 640 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 13: extend plays, create plays, make little flips right like he 641 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 13: did to DeAndre Swift. We've seen a lot of talent 642 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 13: from him. And you know this throw right here is 643 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,239 Speaker 13: just I mean, that's a lot of talent right here 644 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 13: to drop to Roma doonsday. So I think he's running 645 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 13: for first down there. I think he's got all the 646 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 13: skills to be very good, not eight games from now 647 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 13: or next year. I think he's got the skills necessary 648 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 13: to be good from week one in this Chicago Bear offense. 649 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: All right, Baldy, don't go anywhere. 650 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: Later in the show, you got some of the duos 651 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: that you're most excited to see just nine days away 652 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: from regular season football. All right, coming up after this 653 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. We know they've got a lot of speed. 654 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: We know they've got some really good receivers, but the 655 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: depth is a little bit short right now, and we're 656 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: not going to be seeing that guy Odell Beckham Junior 657 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: in practice, much less a game for a little bit longer. 658 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: We'll explain next along with our camera boles on the inside. 659 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 4: Odell Beckham Junior. 660 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 3: There he is, of course, we know by now sign 661 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 3: with the Miami Dolphins too, great fanter As with every 662 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 3: single thing Odell Beckham Junior does. 663 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 4: He catches balls with one hand. He looks cool doing it. 664 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 4: He also has an absolute cannon for an arm. That 665 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 4: being said, does not seem. 666 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 3: Like he is going to see the field to start 667 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 3: the season from Miami Dolphins. Maybe not the greatest surprise 668 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 3: in the world, but that is his reality. I want 669 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 3: to get a little more into that and some other things. 670 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins wise. Very pleased to be joined by my 671 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 3: friend Cameron Wolf here on the Insider is dressed like 672 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 3: he's gonna go out to a boat in Mammy. Mike 673 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 3: looking cool, Mike a little cold. He's got the sweater. 674 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 3: What's up, cam Uh. I want to get a little 675 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 3: more from you on the Odell Beckham junior situation. 676 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,959 Speaker 4: Was this a surprise? What do we expect? And tell 677 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 4: me what other Dolphins things come to your mind. 678 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, Ian Odell Beckham hasn't practiced since he signed with 679 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 9: the Dolphins in May, so it wasn't a huge surprise 680 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 9: for him not to have a big impact early in 681 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 9: the season. They kind of left it a little bit 682 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 9: open on whether he would start the year on pup. 683 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 9: He obviously does misses at least the first four games, 684 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 9: but this is a situation where he had an off 685 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 9: season procedure. They've expected him to miss some time this 686 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 9: spring and summer through workouts, and they've really just tried 687 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 9: to get him fully healthy. 688 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 4: I've seen him around the facility rehabbing. 689 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 9: Last week, he was doing sort of a half speed 690 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 9: run with trainers on the field, and so. 691 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 2: He's trying to get back. 692 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 9: I know he's dealt with a lot of injuries lately, 693 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 9: and there's a lot of jokes that come on social 694 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 9: media with that, but this is a guy that told 695 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 9: us a few months ago he wants to end his 696 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 9: storybook career right He obviously had the peak at the beginning, 697 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 9: the injuries in the middle, and he hopes to end 698 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 9: this right, so he wants to be back there out 699 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 9: on the field. They just made a decision that, hey, 700 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 9: we'd rather get him healthy for December and January, even 701 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 9: if he has to miss September. But the other side 702 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 9: of that is this Dolphins team is very thin at receivers. 703 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 9: They only kept four receivers on their initial fifty three 704 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 9: man roster and so next up behind are going to 705 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 9: be Braxton Burials and their rookie Maleik Washington. But one 706 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 9: thing to keep an eye on their running back Devine 707 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 9: eight Chan has been getting some reps at receiver in camp, 708 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 9: and I wouldn't be surprised if they play him a 709 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 9: decent amount out there to get him and Raheem mostered 710 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 9: on the field at the same time while they wait 711 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 9: for Odell to get back. And one other thing you 712 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 9: mentioned the other interactions with the Dolphins, they made a 713 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 9: decision on their backup quarterback this week, going with third 714 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 9: year Skyler Thompson over the more experienced Mike White. And 715 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 9: when I asked Mike McDaniel about that, he said that 716 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 9: last preseason game they had. There was a moment in 717 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 9: the second quarter where Skyler was leading his team. He 718 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 9: saw his teammates believe in him. He saw guy get 719 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 9: up off the bench and really want to watch him. 720 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 9: And he said, in adverse situations, if your backup gains 721 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 9: that much confidence from your team, that's what helps him. 722 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 9: He's a guy who's developed over these last couple of years, 723 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 9: and they believe he could step in for Tua if 724 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 9: the injury comes about. 725 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 3: It's really interesting, you know when coaches examine it and 726 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 3: look at and judge and evaluate quarterbacks. Obviously they're looking 727 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 3: at things like arm strength and athleticism and all the things. 728 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 3: But the sort of intangible leadership, like how well can 729 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 3: they galvanize guys? That's real and that was a really 730 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 3: cool part of the Dolphins quarterback situation. 731 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 4: All right, let's stay in the AFC East. Let's talk 732 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 4: a little bit about the Buffalo Bills. 733 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 3: They obviously had cut down day as well, and there 734 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 3: was some intriguing decisions they made. 735 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 4: Tell me what cuts your eye in Buffalo. 736 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 9: The first thing we'll see in their linebacker Matt Mullone 737 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 9: will be placed on injury reserve, designated to return, and 738 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 9: I think that's actually good news for Buffalo. He suffered 739 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 9: a torn biceps and practice and this devastating injury. They 740 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 9: spect him to miss most of the season, but the 741 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 9: fact that he's on designated return means there is hope 742 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 9: that he can get back in the latter stages of 743 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 9: the season, maybe December and January. So that's a selling 744 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 9: of hope for Buffalo. But there also was a very 745 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 9: cool story on a rough day for a lot of folks. 746 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 9: The Bills have a linebacker named Joe and Dreson they 747 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 9: call him Buffalo Joe because he's from Buffalo. 748 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 4: He went to the University of Buffalo. 749 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 2: He grew up a Bills fan. He made the Bills initial. 750 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 9: Fifty three man roster, and this is a guy who 751 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 9: had to get on the team by a rookie can't tryout. 752 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 2: This was not a draft pick. This was not typical 753 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 2: UDFA who gets a. 754 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 9: Lot of money. This is a guy who had to 755 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 9: get it out the mud as the ninetieth guy on 756 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 9: the roster. He earned it with his play. We're seeing 757 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 9: this Steelers preseason game. He had twelve tackles, two tackles 758 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 9: for loss. And when I talked to GM, Brandon Bean 759 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 9: and Buffalo and Kemp. He mentioned him as a guy 760 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 9: who stood out and so cool story for Buffalo Joe, 761 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 9: he is now a bill. 762 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 3: Gotta love to hear those stories on this I mean, 763 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 3: this day is filled so much with like, oh, this 764 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 3: guy got cut, this guy got caught. There's also guys 765 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 3: whose dreams literally came true. For Buffalo Joe, that is awesome. 766 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 3: Kim Wolf, thank you very much, always great hanging out 767 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 3: with you.

I mean, I think that he 826 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 13: could play the role that Kyle Hamilton played with Baltimore 827 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 13: last year, whether it's matching up or designated blitzer or 828 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 13: a guy that you know can can basically play the 829 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 13: rat on certain looks. You know he's a ferocious hitter. 830 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 13: And then Tariq Wollen. You know he had six interceptions 831 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 13: as a rookie. I know he ran somewhere Judy in 832 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 13: the four two's coming out of UTSA, and sometimes four 833 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 13: to two shows up on film and sometimes it doesn't. 834 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 13: I think when he breaks on the ball, it's about 835 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 13: his fearce of break where he is right there on 836 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 13: that ball. I think it's about as fears a break 837 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 13: as any back in this league. Right now, he needs 838 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 13: to regain his confidence. He lost it last year. He 839 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 13: was benched for a while, He missed some tackles, his 840 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 13: eyes are in the wrong place. I think a lot 841 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 13: of that is going to get cleared up because ultimately 842 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 13: his talent is going to win out. And I think 843 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 13: Mike McDonald, the way that he matches up his owns, 844 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 13: the way he sits on top of these routes, reads 845 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 13: these routes, I think he's going to benefit both players. 846 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: Nobody breaks it down better than Baldy. Nobody has more 847 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 1: fun on TV talking football than Baldy. 848 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 2: Nobody has more fun even off camera. Baldy doing a 849 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 2: little selfie session, worrying during the last commercial break. 850 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 13: Well, George Kittle just sent me some sunglasses. I had 851 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 13: to show him off for him, you know, like I'm 852 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 13: just trying to promote George a little bit. 853 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: To good luck, Baldy. We will talk to you again 854 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: very soon here. Okay, So some notable names on the 855 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 1: waiver wire coming up. Those claims need to be in 856 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: by noon tomorrow. Will somebody had Bailey ZAPPI will someone 857 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: ad Desmond Ritter will break all that. 858 00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 2: Down and more next on the inside. 859 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: More roster moves on cutdown day, No surprise Vikings keeping TJ. 860 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: Hawkins in on the fisically unable to perform lists coming 861 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: off his torn ACL. 862 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 2: He's out for the first four. 863 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: Games, so is Tyler Higbee, the Rams tight end who 864 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: tore his ACL in the playoff game Jan green Bay. 865 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: AJ Dillon placed on season ending injured reserve because of 866 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: a neck injury. Certainly some bad breaks right there for 867 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: aj Dillon Packers also released a couple of their young 868 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacks today, just part of the long list of quarterbacks 869 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: who were released as part of the final roster cutdown. Judy, 870 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: we set a lot of teams us a lot of 871 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: quarterbacks last year. What jumped out of you from some 872 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 1: of those quarterback names we saw in the street today? 873 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 6: I have to think that a number of them are 874 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 6: going to get looks for just that reason. Last year 875 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,800 Speaker 6: we saw teams go through so many quarterbacks, and somebody 876 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,919 Speaker 6: like Bailey Zappi, who has played a bunch and had 877 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:10,240 Speaker 6: some success, including in some very difficult circumstances in New England, 878 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 6: I have to think he's going to get a look 879 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:12,439 Speaker 6: by some team. 880 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would say, for me, what's kind 881 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 4: of weird and knock on wood a little bit. We've 882 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 4: had so few injuries. 883 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 3: It feels like this preseason so many of those guys 884 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 3: I feel like would be and maybe should be on rosters. 885 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 3: But because a lot of teams are as healthy as 886 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 3: they've been, they're out there in the ether. Maybe by 887 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 3: the time we come back tomorrow some of these guys 888 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 3: will be gainfully employed. 889 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 2: No way that dusk is actually tomorrow.
