1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams has a new head coach, and for the

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: first time, the Bears quarterback is speaking on his feelings

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: about Ben Johnson. Hear what last year's number one pick

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: had to say as offseason programs continue at Hallis Hall

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: and several other spots around the NFL. The Giants could

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: have had the number one pick in this year's draft.

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Then they meet the Colts in week seventeen, and YadA, YadA, YadA.

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: They're sitting third overall.

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Will that be schanor Sanders spot or will Russ Cook?

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: But the most talented player in this draft?

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: We will tell you the latest on a potentially franchise

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: altering decision in New York. Chiefs and Ravens will be

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: back to work soon as well. Things are going to

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: look at least a little bit different around Patrick Mahomes

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson.

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five.

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: It is Rosster reset time, starting with last year's AFC

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Division champs.

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 2: Welcome inside the.

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: Insiders alongside Judy Batista and Mike Garriffolo. I am Tom Pelisero.

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: We are now just sixteen days out from the twenty

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: twenty five NFL Draft, kicking off in Green Bay. Wisconsin,

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: which also means we continue to get more and more

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: teams back in their buildings.

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: New head coaches get a two week.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Jumpstart on everybody else in terms of starting their off

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: season strength and conditioning program, which means Tremor Lawrence back

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: in the building in Jacksonville for the first time since

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars hired Liam Cohen to be their head coach.

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: Out in Las Vegas, new facing Pete Carroll and some

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: familiar faces too.

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: Fack that is credit nearly What times in five five

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: forty far?

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: Max Crosby missed opportunity?

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: What time is it? Go time? Nailed it for you.

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: We'll redo that one later, Max. Other players back in

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: the building for Las Vegas. This, of course, is at

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: a time of year that this is all voluntary. But

39
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: when QB one like Caleb Williams shows up as he

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: did yesterday with the Bears kicking things off, usually a

41
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: good sign and also a sign that everybody knows that

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: it's go time. Right back scrossby Ard, I'm not gonna

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson.

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun.

47
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,680

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,320

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: grand entrance. And then and then we got to work

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 5: of of you know, him him testing us about what

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 5: we talked about yesterday and things like that.

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 3: So already first.

56
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 5: Day in and challenging us and you know we can't

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 5: everybody loves a challenge. He says something that you know,

58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 5: he said, uh, you know, you never forget your first

59
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 5: day as a head coach. And you know, he said,

60
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 5: it's a it's a great day and you know, get

61
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: this thing rolling. He he jumped out there and you know,

62
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 5: set a bunch of du set a bunch of don't

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 5: set a you know, a president of what we're going

64
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 5: to be like as a team, finding our identity and

65
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 5: all of that. So you know, we're excited.

66
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: Obviously we have to put into work.

67
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: Can't be too excited because the work hasn't been done,

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 5: but you know, definitely excited for what's to come and

69
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 5: you know the future.

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: Much like Caleb Williams I'm so excited about Ben Johnson

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Mike as a new head coach. I almost did let

72
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: Caleb talk first what he had to say most important here.

73
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: But this is certainly a huge moment for the Bears

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: here as they continue to move forward, because it's not

75
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: just the on field stuff. Well we'll see in OTAs

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: in May and training camp in July and August, it's

77
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: also Ben Jonson Caleb Williams, the most important relationship in

78
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: that building.

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: That work begins an earnest right now.

80
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, and look, we got a couple of weeks before

81
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 6: we really dig into the x's and o's of things.

82
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 6: You know, the off season workout is step one of

83
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 6: the off season with regard to the players getting back

84
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 6: in the building, starting to get themselves in shape. Yeah,

85
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 6: and I'm looking forward to the OTAs in the on

86
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 6: field work Tom because you know, it's gonna be a

87
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 6: expectation from Ben Johnson for how things are supposed to

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 6: be run and an expectation for a number one overall

89
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 6: pick to perform like one. So I'm really fascinated to

90
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 6: see this relationship how it develops.

91
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 7: If you haven't seen Ben Johnson on game day, he is.

92
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: A high energy guy.

93
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 6: He is a demanding guy, and that's what Caleb Williams

94
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 6: is going to experience. And that's what Caleb Williams is

95
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 6: gonna get when things go well, and that's what Kayleb

96
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 6: Willas is gonna get when things don't go so well.

97
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 6: So really curious to see how this goes and to

98
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 6: see these two try to get on the same page

99
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 6: and try to vibe together, as Caleb Williams certainly wants

100
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 6: to take a huge step forward in the year two.

101
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 8: Judy, I thought it was pretty telling that Caleb Williams

102
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 8: said that as soon as Ben Johnson walked into the

103
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 8: quarterbacks room, he started quizzing them on what they had

104
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 8: talked about yesterday.

105
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 9: That was a.

106
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 8: Concern around the Bears and for Caleb Williams last year

107
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 8: that he wasn't being challenged, he wasn't.

108
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 10: Being pushed as the quarterback.

109
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 8: You heard him stay there like they all have a challenge,

110
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 8: Like he's a competitor. He needs to be pushed to

111
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 8: get better. Ben Johnson is certainly, as you said, Mike,

112
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 8: that personality. He is demanding. He is known to be

113
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 8: very detail oriented. So that is going to be something

114
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 8: that we're going to see with Caleb Williams. Certainly their

115
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 8: personalities are going to have to mesh here fairly quickly

116
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 8: because the expectations are going to be much higher for

117
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 8: Caleb Williams performance. But I think it's interesting that two

118
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 8: days into the off season program, Ben Johnson is already

119
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 8: pushing and prodding the quarterbacks. Probably a very good sign

120
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 8: for their development.

121
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: With a prior regime in terms of the coaching staff,

122
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: we already had a pretty good idea at this time

123
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: last year Caleb Williams was going to be the number

124
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: one overall pick. Similarly, got a pretty good idea cam

125
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: Ward's going to be the number one overall pick in

126
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: this year's draft. But after that, let's just say it's

127
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: chaos right now. Rtt lewis our latest mock draft, posted

128
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: right now at NFL dot com. He took his to

129
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: have at it, including the Raiders trading up the number

130
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: two to land Travis Hunter, which you can imagine how

131
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: that would go over in Cleveland. More on that momentarily.

132
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: Shadur Sanders Rhett has going.

133
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: To a teen. The Retinos well down there in New Orleans.

134
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: With these Saints at number nine, they've done a ton

135
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: of work on these quarterbacks. That would also mean the

136
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: Giants would pass on Shador Sanders in this scenario and

137
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: select Abdul Carter, the Penn State edge rusher at number three.

138
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: Take a look at the rest of the top ten,

139
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: and we know the trades are always a highly unpredictable

140
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: part of this. Some people fundamentally when they do mocks

141
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: say I'm not even gonna do those early rehdd says,

142
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: forget all that, I'm trading all over the place at

143
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: least one there in the top ten. But Mike, I

144
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: think that this reinforces, if nothing else, some of the

145
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: uncertainty about Shador Sanders above all else in terms of

146
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: exactly where he's going to go at a time that

147
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: the Giants will certainly not rule it anything out about

148
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback or doing their due diligence on some

149
00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 1: other guys.

150
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, Abdul Carter who had breakfast with Brian Dabel at

151
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 6: Penn State. Now Dabel wasn't there just for the breakfast

152
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 6: with Carter. He was there for family reasons. His daughter

153
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 6: goes to Penn State, and why not. I mean, more

154
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 6: information is a good thing. So Abdull Carter and Dabel

155
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 6: had breakfast now going to visit the Giants on Thursday. Now,

156
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 6: he would only schedule visits with the first two picks

157
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 6: before his pro day. Now after his pro day is

158
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 6: adding the Giants at number three. And technically this counts

159
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 6: as one of their local visits, so it doesn't count

160
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 6: as one of their thirty visits.

161
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 7: But obviously it's a big.

162
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 6: One for the Giants to get a look at Abdull

163
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 6: Carter and get more information from Abdua Carter because if

164
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 6: it goes cam Wore Travis Hunter won two, the Giants

165
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 6: are think going to have their decision to make whether

166
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 6: it's Shadora Sanders or one of the premier pass rushers.

167
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 6: And they do have some pretty good pass rushers already

168
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 6: in Kaevon Thibodau and Brian Burns. But Judy years ago,

169
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 6: I think it was when the Giants drafted Matthias Kiwanuka

170
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 6: and we're like, that's four. How many of these guys

171
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 6: do you need? Ernie of course, he said, you can

172
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 6: never have enough. So they wound up winning the Super

173
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 6: Bowl after probably a wise philosophy.

174
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 8: They won two Super Bowls actually with a bevy of

175
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 8: pass rushers. This would obviously be if they were to

176
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 8: select Abdul Carter, this would not be a need pick, right,

177
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 8: This would be a best player on the board pick.

178
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 10: But they do have.

179
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 8: A history at that franchise of loading up on pass

180
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 8: rushers even when they have them in the building. They

181
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 8: had straighthand they took Keywanuka. Anyway, then they had oc

182
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 8: and Justin Tuck and they took.

183
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 10: Jason Pierre Paul.

184
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 8: They got two super Bowls building a defense like that

185
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 8: and having not just great pass rushers but depth at

186
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 8: pass rushers. Does that mean they're going to do it

187
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 8: this year? No, those teams that won Super Bowls had

188
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 8: other pieces in place that they simply don't have in

189
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 8: place right now, namely the franchise quarterback. But we should

190
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 8: go back to when the Giants signed Russell Wilson. Yes,

191
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 8: this franchise still needs an answer, a long term answer

192
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 8: at quarterback, but signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston gave

193
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 8: them a little bit of breathing room so that if

194
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 8: they don't like the way the board falls with quarterbacks,

195
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 8: Dingtung have to take one at the top of the draft.

196
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 8: We will see what they finally think about the quarterbacks

197
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 8: at the top of the draft when we get to

198
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 8: draft day. But certainly a pickup Abdul Carter would not

199
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 8: be out of character for the New York Giants.

200
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: Johns use a very high pick on a running back before,

201
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: not really expecting them to do so this year. Although

202
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: certainly you can make the argument on talent, Ashton Genty

203
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: is well deserving of being a top three pick. In

204
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: reht Lewis's last mock draft, he's got him going at

205
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: number six, which remember, in this scenario is the Browns

206
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: because they traded back with the Raiders who went up

207
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: to get Travis Hunter. You saw all that there is

208
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: absolutely no question about Genty's college production. You compare him

209
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,359
Speaker 1: to some of the absolute greats in the game, including

210
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: Ladenian Tomlinson. He's right there, despite Genty missing a little

211
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: bit of time during the course of his career, a

212
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: really intriguing prospect, Mike one of those guys who much

213
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: like Jamiir Gibbs several years ago. You know that everybody

214
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: likes the player. You know that he could help a

215
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: whole lot of offenses. The question is always how high

216
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: is too high from a positional value standpoint.

217
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 6: I think in this case, everybody saw the impact that

218
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 6: Sakuon Barkley had, not of the team that drafted him,

219
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 6: but the team that signed him in the Fildelphia Eagles,

220
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 6: and has seen that a lot of times when you

221
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 6: draft a running back up high, you're going to hit

222
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 6: on that one and it's more or less not a

223
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 6: sure thing, but you feel pretty good about it based

224
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 6: on recent history. So Ashton Genty mocked by a lot

225
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 6: of people to number six, now not the way that

226
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 6: RHTT did it to the Raiders whom he visited this week.

227
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 6: This has been This has gone from Ashton Genty possible

228
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 6: top ten pick to absolute mortal lock of a top

229
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 6: ten pick, possible top five pick, Like does he even

230
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 6: get to the Raiders Now I'm bringing in the Jaguars.

231
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 6: You also have the Patriots at that point. You also

232
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 6: have potential trade up possible abilities. Raiders could go up

233
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 6: to make sure that they get him. The Chicago Bears

234
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 6: we've also talked about with him. There are teams outside

235
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 6: the top ten that have running back needs, so perhaps

236
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 6: they come up with it. I just the production, the

237
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 6: character is off the charts with this kid. He is

238
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 6: about as much as slam Dunk in this draft, as

239
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 6: you are going to get and yeah, I like him

240
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 6: at number six there, and if he's gone before that

241
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 6: to some team, whether it's the teams that are currently

242
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 6: there or not, won't be surprised.

243
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 8: I think this question goes beyond just Ashton gent and

244
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 8: goes to the running back class, which is really deep

245
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 8: and really good, and that is you know, did the

246
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 8: running back renaissance that we saw last year, which went

247
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 8: beyond just Sakwan Barkley included Derrick Henry too, did that

248
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 8: impact the way teams will assess quarterbacks in the draft.

249
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 8: Let's look at the Raiders, who really could use a

250
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 8: running back. They had the worst rushing offense in the

251
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 8: league last year. But does John Spytech look around and say, listen,

252
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 8: we have a lot of other needs we could build

253
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 8: up other places. This draft is deep at running back.

254
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 8: We could get one later in the draft, or did

255
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 8: they pick one very high? There are other teams that

256
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 8: need running backs. The Cowboys need a running back, The

257
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 8: Broncos need a running back, the Browns need a running back,

258
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 8: the Bears need a running back. So there's plenty of

259
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 8: need there. There are plenty of options in this draft.

260
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 8: I'm just really curious to see how aggressive teams are

261
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 8: about taking running backs one year after we saw running

262
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 8: backs really return to prominence in the NFL.

263
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: Sixteen days away from where would be right now, to

264
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: be at six pm or so, Green Bay time, It'll

265
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: be like an hour away. They'll be in the green room.

266
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: They will have had the red carpet stuff. It's gonna

267
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: be an exciting time. The countdown is officially on. Countdown

268
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: also on for the rest of the teams to begin

269
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: their off season programs, including the AFC champion Chiefs, who

270
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: have not been called AFC Champion, they have been called

271
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Champion for a couple of years running. As always,

272
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Brett Veech Andy Eating Company have reshuffled the deck. What's

273
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: it gonna look like in twenty twenty five? Our Roster

274
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: Reset series kicks off tonight. But first we've got Notre

275
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison coming on the show, one of

276
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: the top prospects at his position in this year's draft.

277
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: Could your team be the one to take him? He'll

278
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: tell you who he's visited, and a whole lot more.

279
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 11: On's on to the air linebacker Blitz intercept it picked

280
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 11: off by Benjamin Morrison on the fifteen.

281
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 2: Yard line fires from the near sideline.

282
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 12: Intercept it beencher De Morrison midfield.

283
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 6: D Jay is pegged off by Benjamin Moeson. Here goes

284
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 6: Bullenson touchdown bag six.

285
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 7: A lot of that on the tape.

286
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 6: When you look at Benjamin Morrison what he was able

287
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 6: to do at Notre Dame nine interceptions in thirty one games.

288
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 6: That has helped land him number four on Bucky Brooks's

289
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 6: top five cornerback prospects. Here in the NFL draft, where

290
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 6: he is expected to hear his name call late first round,

291
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 6: early second round perhaps, But how about right now, Benjamin

292
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 6: Morrison joining us here on the Insiders.

293
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 7: We appreciate you joining us.

294
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 6: I got questions about the draft process, some injury stuff

295
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 6: to get to, but I want to start there. Nine picks,

296
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 6: thirty and thirty one games. What allows you because I

297
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 6: saw you peel off your guy on one of those plays,

298
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 6: What allows you to have that nose for the football?

299
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 13: Yeah?

300
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 14: I think this preparation, see the scene, the play before

301
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 14: it happens, developing, just that natural instinct. At the end

302
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 14: of the day, you got to see the ball and

303
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 14: go get it. That's what the game football is about.

304
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 14: That's what I problem myself on is bringing the ball back.

305
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 6: Well, the tape is strong, and you hear a lot

306
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 6: of guys evaluators around the league saying you've got to

307
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 6: rely on the tape not so much these workouts in

308
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 6: the spring. That has been the process with you because

309
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 6: you're coming back from hip surgery. Number one, how is

310
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 6: the hip doing? And number two? You know I haven't

311
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 6: been able to work out for teams just yet this spring.

312
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 7: What's the plan there in that regard?

313
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, hips soon great.

314
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 14: I'm also fully cleared about a couple of weeks ago.

315
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 14: So just going throughout the proper ramp up process. I'm

316
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 14: going to have a hold of private showcase out here

317
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 14: on the twenty first, where we intend to have almost

318
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 14: all the NFL teams out.

319
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: Here to be able to see me compete.

320
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 14: So it's it's been it's just been exciting, just understanding that,

321
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 14: like when I was injured, to see where I'm at now,

322
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 14: I wouldn't I wouldn't think I could be here both

323
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 14: through hard work and prayer and spend time my family

324
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 14: and loved ones, I'm right where I need to be.

325
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 7: So that's right before the draft.

326
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 6: She'll have a chance to make a lasting final impression

327
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 6: there just a couple of days before the draft. So

328
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 6: what's it been like, because you know, I know how

329
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 6: it is when there's injury questions and those are the

330
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 6: only questions really about you. It doesn't seem like it's

331
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 6: anything else that you have to explore before the drafts.

332
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 6: What's it been like throughout the process. How many teams

333
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 6: have you met with? Who have you met with recently

334
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 6: and what have you told them in those meetings?

335
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 14: Yeah, so I met with almost all the teams at

336
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 14: the combine that I've had like five plus he visits

337
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 14: so far. And it's tough feeling to defend yourself being

338
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 14: injured when you have your tape.

339
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: But that's just the.

340
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 14: Name of the game, and that's what That's what has

341
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 14: come to understanding that God doesn't make mistakes, and I'm

342
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 14: in this position for a reason.

343
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: So whatever team gets me, he's gonna get a steal.

344
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 7: You mentioned God doesn't make mistakes. Let's it's a good

345
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 7: jumping off point.

346
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 6: We'll talk about your dad, Darryl, who played in the NFL,

347
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 6: was drafted in the NFL. Uh the team chaplain for

348
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,359
Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals. So I would imagine that the Cardinals,

349
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 6: foremost amongst any team, have eight areas there handsome fellah

350
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 6: have the best off field on field reports that they

351
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 6: could possibly get. What do you think your dad tells

352
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 6: them about his son, Benjamin Man?

353
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: I hope not too much.

354
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 13: I tried.

355
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 14: I tried to love to keep it flood and keep

356
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 14: it business over there. But I mean, shoot, I'm his son,

357
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 14: so obviously he's how good things to say about me,

358
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 14: and and I feel as if.

359
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: Like that's my best friend.

360
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 14: I've looked up to him I was a young kid,

361
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 14: so just seeing what he's able to do on and

362
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 14: off the field has been truly a blessing for me.

363
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: And there's no other man I'd rather have in my

364
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 3: corner than him.

365
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 7: That's awesome.

366
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 6: Do you remember your dad playing in the NFL and

367
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 6: what lessons has he helped you throughout your playing career.

368
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 3: I don't remember him playing. I wasn't actually born.

369
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 7: You have.

370
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 14: My oldest siblings were. But my dad's like he's my

371
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 14: he's my hidden gym. He's helped me since I was

372
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 14: a young kid. I don't give him enough credit. He's

373
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 14: he's been in my corner since I was young. Really,

374
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 14: showed me what it took to become a good football player,

375
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 14: but first a good man. And that's that's the main

376
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 14: thing that I take away from him, is the football side.

377
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 14: You got to become a good man first and everything

378
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 14: else will come after that.

379
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 6: You talked about your siblings. They're there right over your

380
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 6: shoulders shoulder. You are one of five, three sisters, one brother.

381
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 6: What do you imagine the scene is going to be

382
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 6: like for you draft? I mean, you have a plans

383
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 6: yet for the part of that family, beautiful, you have

384
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 6: plans yet for the party. What do you think it's

385
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 6: going to be like when everybody here's your name called.

386
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's gonna be surree. I mean those are my people.

387
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 14: I mean I've grown up. I look up to all them.

388
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 14: They've they've set a great example for me. So I say,

389
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 14: being the youngest here a fool not to fail just

390
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 14: because they've all gone before you. So I just imagine

391
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 14: me and my family on the couch and loved ones,

392
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 14: close friends and just breaking down because I think that this,

393
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 14: I think this is the emotions are gonna be high.

394
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 14: Just throughout these last six months, it's been hard, it's

395
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 14: been challenging. I'd be lying to say, kids all easy,

396
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 14: but it's been hard. So being able to experience my

397
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 14: loved ones and the ones who I care most about

398
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 14: and allowing them to celebrate with me, it's gonna be

399
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 14: It's gonna be special.

400
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, looking forward to looking forward to that scene. They're

401
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 6: wishing you the best in that regard.

402
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 13: Uh.

403
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 6: And again we expect to hear your name early in

404
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 6: this draft, in large part because of what you put

405
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 6: on tape. Give me, give me the quick pitches. We

406
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 6: let you go here. Pretend I'm a team and it's

407
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 6: the old elevator pitch.

408
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 7: Uh.

409
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 6: What kind of player are you as you come into

410
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 6: the NFL? What kind of skills set you up? I

411
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 6: mean press man seems like you can do a little

412
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 6: bit of both.

413
00:18:59,480 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 13: Yeah.

414
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: I think through this process I kind of got a

415
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 3: little forgotten about.

416
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 14: That's what this little protuce for is to show that

417
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 14: I am who I say I am. I know, I

418
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 14: know what I can do, So I think I am

419
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 14: on the top corners is not the top corner this draft.

420
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 14: You look what I've done in two and a half

421
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 14: years that sometimes take guys four to five.

422
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: I RaSE guys. I eliminate guys the world receivers.

423
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 14: I've gone against the best, Jay Flowers, Ordinatis and Marvin Harrison.

424
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 14: List continues, and I think I hold my own and

425
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 14: I do well against high caliber receivers like that, So

426
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 14: I think that that that's.

427
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 3: Just my game. We play a lot of man at

428
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. I could do it all, and I'm gonna

429
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: find the ball.

430
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 6: Well, good luck finding the ball in the NFL. We

431
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 6: know that there's gonna be plenty of chances to do that.

432
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 6: Congratulations on in advance on your being selected, continued recovery.

433
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 7: Good luck at that workout right before the draft.

434
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 6: I did love this, by the way, as I let

435
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 6: you go, Lance Zeroline, our guy at NFL dot com

436
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 6: called you inquisitive but patient when it comes to your

437
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 6: style of play. Well, you're going to need that patience

438
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 6: because we still got a couple of weeks to go

439
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 6: here before the draft, but we're going to get there eventually.

440
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 6: Benjamin Morrison, appreciate your time.

441
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 7: Good luck moving forward here.

442
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: Man, I appreciate thank you for having me.

443
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 6: Coming up next on the Insiders, we're going to take

444
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 6: a look at the AFC division winners as we get

445
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 6: ready for our roster reset. For those guys what to

446
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 6: look for in twenty twenty five as they come off

447
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 6: their success in twenty four.

448
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 7: That's next on the Insiders.

449
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 8: Kansas City Chiefs fell short of the three peet in

450
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 8: Super Bowl fifty nine. It's definitely not time to blow

451
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 8: it all up in Kansas City, but it is time

452
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 8: for us to launch roster reset season here at NFL Network.

453
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 8: Let's take a look at the AFC division winners from

454
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 8: last season. That is where we're going to start with

455
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 8: the roster reset. Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, and Texans. And help

456
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 8: me with roster resetting. Jeffrey Chidia, who has his column

457
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 8: up on NFL dot com on roster resets, one big

458
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 8: question for each of the teams, and our Brian Balding

459
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 8: are also all right, Jeffrey, Let's start with the Chiefs.

460
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 8: We all saw what happened in the Super Bowl. Have

461
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 8: they solved their problem at left tackle?

462
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 13: Well, it's a work in progress. Still.

463
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 11: I don't think anybody's going to know this they answer

464
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 11: this question until we get deeper into training camp in

465
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 11: the NFL season next year.

466
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 13: You're talking about a team that signed Jalen Moore to

467
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 13: a two year deal.

468
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 11: They traded Joe Tuney, who was their best left tackle

469
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 11: to Chicago. He was actually a guard and he's going

470
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 11: to play guard in Chicago again.

471
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 13: After that, they don't.

472
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 11: Really have anybody who they trust, and so it's very

473
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 11: lucky this team ends up drafting a left tackle candidate.

474
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 13: But right now it.

475
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 11: Looks very I would say a little bit scary for

476
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 11: what they're looking at.

477
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 13: I think they hope Work can be that player.

478
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 11: They may sign another veteran here, but Baldy, I can't

479
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 11: sit here today and tell you that this team looks

480
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 11: better at left tackle than they did see on's back.

481
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 12: I agree with you, Jeff.

482
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 15: I mean I was a little shocked that they threw

483
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 15: money at Jalen Moore. He's been a backup to Trent.

484
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 15: He did start five games last year. He's got twelve

485
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 15: starts over his four years in this league. They must

486
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 15: have seen enough of them. I didn't think he was

487
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 15: very good on the edge against elite guys. But it's

488
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 15: not just left tackle. I mean they got King Juley

489
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 15: Suamatia played left guard now too, to replace Tony, and

490
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 15: that's the first team All Pro guard. So I've never

491
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 15: seen him play guard. Not to say that he can't.

492
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 15: He's a world of talent. I thought they gave up

493
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 15: on him pretty early after two starts in Kansas City

494
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 15: year ago. Now they're kicking him inside. So it's a

495
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 15: brand new left side. So not only are they trying

496
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 15: to solve two positions, but they two guys have to

497
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 15: get to know each other. To your point, you know,

498
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 15: this offseason is very important for their communication and building

499
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 15: the trust that I thought they had at one point.

500
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 8: All right, let's go to the ANFC East champion Buffalo

501
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 8: Bill's Jeffrey.

502
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 10: What's going to happen with James Cook?

503
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 11: Well, another great question and another question that won't be

504
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 11: solved for a long time. It looks like I know

505
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 11: General Mander Brandon Bean made the comment that he's moving

506
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 11: on to the draft and worrying about that.

507
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 13: They have signed a ton of They have signed a

508
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 13: ton of.

509
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 11: Players to new deals in Buffalo lately, with Terrel.

510
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 13: Bernard and Khalil Shakur.

511
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 11: They gave a new deal to Josh Allen and all

512
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 11: the while their running backs been sitting here wondering what's

513
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 11: going to happen to him because he's going into the

514
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 11: last year of his contract and.

515
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 13: He wants a lot of money. That's part of the

516
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 13: issue here.

517
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 11: He wants a fifteen million dollars a year deal and

518
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 11: he's not in that category, So I don't know where

519
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 11: this ends for him.

520
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 13: Look, he's got they sat gout the franchise tack.

521
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 11: They can still do things, but right now, with the

522
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 11: running back market and the draft Baldy, I have to

523
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 11: think James Cook is not in a great spot right

524
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 11: now in Buffalo.

525
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 15: But you know, the performance was I thought excellent. I mean,

526
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 15: sixteen touchdowns last year and back to back Pro Bowl seasons.

527
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 12: And you talked to the guys.

528
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 15: You talked to Aaron Cromer, the offensive line coach, end

529
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 15: of the offensive lineman, Dion Dawkins.

530
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: Across the board. They love them.

531
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 15: They love blocking form, but it is a position. They've

532
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 15: got Ray Davis, a drafted last year. Ty Johnson is

533
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 15: their third down back, but they need you know, and

534
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 15: Josh Allen's going to get his carries, so you know,

535
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 15: they're splitting carries amongst a lot of different players. Maybe

536
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 15: they feel like they can still do it, but I'm

537
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 15: sure James Cook is looking at the other guys who

538
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 15: have gotten paid and saying, what about me? Maybe it's

539
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 15: my turn, and maybe they're going to look at the draft.

540
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 15: Like you said, all.

541
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 8: Right, speaking of running back contracts, let's go to Baltimore.

542
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 10: What's going to happen with Derek Henry's contract.

543
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 11: Well, he deserves the race, and Eric, the Costa general manager,

544
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 11: has talked very glowingly about what Derek carry went to

545
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 11: this team last year. He had the best year for

546
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 11: a thirty year running back in NFL history with over

547
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 11: nineteen hundred yards and eighteen touchdowns, and I have to

548
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 11: imagine they're going to make something happen for him. Look,

549
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 11: he's going to be thirty one years old. That's not

550
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 11: a great position to be him. You're paying running backs,

551
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 11: but he is very special running back, as it proved

552
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 11: last year. And Dakasa said, when you talk about special

553
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 11: running backs, you want to do something that you want

554
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 11: to take care of those guys because they have such

555
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 11: a huge impact on your entire team. So a great

556
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 11: bargain last year, Baldy. I have to think he's going

557
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 11: to be a lot more expensive in the coming years.

558
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 9: I agree, Jeff.

559
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 15: And the fact that with him and Lamar in the

560
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 15: backfield together, I mean, it was you know, it was

561
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 15: not easy on in defenses trying to figure out how

562
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 15: to defend that do as much as they ran the ball,

563
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 15: they ran it more than they threw it, like a

564
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 15: couple of teams in this league. And the one thing

565
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 15: I think Derek Henry proved all of us is that

566
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 15: there's no decline in his speed or his ability to

567
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 15: break long runs like that is still there. And so

568
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 15: as long as that's still there, regardless of the age,

569
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 15: I got to believe that Baltimore will find the right

570
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 15: compensation for King.

571
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 12: Ed all right.

572
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 8: Finally, the AFC South, This was one of the most

573
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 8: glaring deficiencies in the entire NFL last year, the offensive

574
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 8: line of the Houston Texans, and of course they made

575
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 8: one of the shocking moves free agency. Is that offensive

576
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 8: line going to be any better?

577
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 13: Well, I think they're throwing numbers at it.

578
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 11: And you look at what Nicko Sarai wants to do

579
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 11: with that group, I think he wants to find as

580
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 11: many options as possible.

581
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 13: When you trade Larmie tunsl away, when you trade.

582
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 11: Kenyon green Away, when you release Shac Mason, then you

583
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 11: go and bring in Cam Robinson and Trent Brown and

584
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 11: Lincoln Tomblinson you trade for add ingram. That just tells

585
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 11: you that they're going to try to throw as many

586
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 11: bidies as they can. I think one upside here that

587
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 11: you know is a good thing for this group is

588
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 11: that Titus Howard who moved from tackle to guard, it's

589
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 11: to go.

590
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 13: Back to tackle.

591
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 11: This is the draft that's really big on guard, So Baldy,

592
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 11: I think they can get this team better, but it's going.

593
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 13: To be a lot of bodies in play here.

594
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 15: Well, they have changed the offensive line coach, the offensive coordinator,

595
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 15: and the offensive line. Those things generally don't come together

596
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 15: real fast when there's a new way of doing things.

597
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 15: They were awful against Kansas City the playoff game at CJ's.

598
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 15: Travis sacked eight times and he was hit fourteen times,

599
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 15: and a lot of it was it was a bad

600
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 15: coordinating job upfront and how they protected. But make no

601
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 15: mistake about it, it's not easy replacing Laramie Tunssel. He

602
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 15: did have way too many penalties last year. The line

603
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 15: committed too many penalties last year. They've got to cut

604
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 15: that number down and they've got to build some continuity

605
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 15: awfully fast with a lot of new parts.

606
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 8: Guys, Thank you, this is only the beginning of roster

607
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 8: reset season. Here at the NFL Network. We will have

608
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 8: much more.

609
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 10: Including stuff from the NFC coming up soon.

610
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: There's a new head coach in Jacksonville again, and finally

611
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: today Liam Cohen got to meet some of his new

612
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: players in bright future, they hope, arriving in Jacksonville after

613
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 1: some trying years.

614
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: Time now for count on It.

615
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: Presented by Toro, Tom Pelisaro back here on the Insiders,

616
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: joined by a guy we can always count on, Cam Wolfe.

617
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: I want to break down our matching shirts momentarily here Cam.

618
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: But first of all, Jaguars back in the building. It's

619
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: all about Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence. That relationship.

620
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: What do we expect.

621
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 16: Yes, a new error for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it

622
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 16: will always be about Trevor Lawrence. And when I talked

623
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 16: to Liam Cohen at the league meetings, he said a

624
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 16: few things, and one about Trevor Lawrence. He said, we've

625
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 16: had dinner a few times, we haven't been out on

626
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 16: the field, but it's clear in early conversations with him,

627
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 16: how mentally tough he is, how he wants to be

628
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 16: coached hard. And as he walked into the building today

629
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 16: Trevor Lawrence.

630
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 13: The big focus.

631
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 9: Point was energy and communication. They can't work out on

632
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 9: the field and practice yet, but they can go over

633
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 9: to playbook.

634
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 16: They can bring energy into the building and the Jaguars

635
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 16: have already circled things they want to work.

636
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 9: On with Trevor Lawrence.

637
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 16: You know, Liam Cohen has talked about helping his mechanics

638
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 16: and his footwork. You noticed in the last couple of

639
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 16: years Trevor Lawrence got a little bit off with his footwork,

640
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 16: and so they're going to try to put that into action.

641
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 16: They also want to see him in this new offensive scheme.

642
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 9: From what Cohen said of the.

643
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 16: League meetings, Trevor Lawrence is right on track from that

644
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 16: offseason surgery he had on his shoulder. They expect him

645
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 16: to be throwing and may once they get to OTA's,

646
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 16: But they also want him to have a level of

647
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 16: freedom within this offense. He led the NFL in turnover

648
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 16: since he's been in the league in twenty twenty one.

649
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 9: He's got hurt last couple of years.

650
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 16: They want to make it a little bit more relaxed

651
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 16: and free for him to play the level ball that

652
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 16: he showed in twenty twenty two. When the Jags made

653
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 16: that playoff run. They believe Trevor can take them to

654
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 16: the next level, but it's going to take a little

655
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 16: bit of work, and we're going to be tracking it

656
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 16: all offseason to see that Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence

657
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 16: relationship in jackson.

658
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: Ken We've talked so much for weeks now about those

659
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: top three picks in the draft, all teams that have

660
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback need. We kind of lose some of those

661
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: teams in between the Jaguar zone. The number five pick

662
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: in a draftwear depending who you talk to, there are

663
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: four or five elite caliber prospects. What do you expect

664
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: them to do at five?

665
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think they're going to look at the trenches.

666
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 16: The Jacksonville Jaguars have been clear throughout the offseason we

667
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 16: want to build this thing up right. James Gladstone, the

668
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 16: general manager, come from the Los Angeles Rams, who had

669
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 16: a lot of success building in the trenches in last year's.

670
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 9: Draft with Jared Vers and Braden Fisk.

671
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 16: And so when you look at number five, you know,

672
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 16: maybe Abdul Carter's off the board, maybe Travis Hunters off

673
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 16: the board, but maybe there's a guy Michigan's Mason Graham

674
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 16: who is on the board, and he's a guy who

675
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 16: would fit excellent.

676
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 9: With what they do.

677
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 16: He can play three tech, he can play on the edge,

678
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 16: he can rush the passer. That's something that their defensive coordinator,

679
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 16: Anthony Capnelli, would love to get his hands on. Someone

680
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 16: that's versatil who's had proven production and can fit right

681
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 16: inside that defense with the Josh Heinz Allen, with a

682
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 16: Trayvon Walker, with the Eric Garmstead and improve a defensive

683
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 16: front that was in the bottom ten and run defense

684
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 16: bottom five and pass rush last year. They definitely need

685
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 16: to get that the next level. Maybe there's a guy

686
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 16: in Jalen Walker from Georgia if they decide to go

687
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 16: with another pass rush a guy who can play inside

688
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 16: linebacker and outside linebacker and get this unit a little

689
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 16: bit more juice on that side of the ball. And

690
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 16: so they got a lot of options at five. They

691
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 16: also have six pick in the first four rounds to

692
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 16: help the offense side of the ball too, if they

693
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 16: want to go defense at.

694
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: Five, Cam, thank you very much. I'll see you at

695
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: the white party later.

696
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: Coming up.

697
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: We got more insiders, including a closer look at a

698
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: guy who probably will be off the board by the

699
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: time the Jaguars are up at number five. Travis Hunter,

700
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: Colorado's do it all man and Baldy's favorite player in

701
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: this draft. Baldy is back with us next to break

702
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: down why this is the best talent you're going to see.

703
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 7: For NFL prospects.

704
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 6: The road to the Draft is the ultimate job interview, grueling,

705
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 6: high stakes, and life changing. For Oregon quarterback Dylan Gabriel

706
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 6: Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden, the third the NFL scouting

707
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 6: Combine was one of the biggest tests yet. How did

708
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 6: they handle the pressure, What moments to find their experience?

709
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 6: Getting exclusive behind the scenes look as these two prospects

710
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 6: take on the biggest stage of their pre draft journey.

711
00:31:54,920 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 6: In this episode of Destination Green Bay presented by Toyota.

712
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: Combine to get today.

713
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 13: That's a head to Indy, Who's Combine?

714
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 6: Come another guy?

715
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: I'm forward to see hear me moving.

716
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 6: One of the top guys.

717
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 17: I definitely think I'm prepared, you know, all the whole

718
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 17: work I put in, what you don't have this opportunity to,

719
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 17: you know, be able to showcase my schools in front

720
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 17: of the whole world.

721
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 4: Very opportunity for sure.

722
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 13: No see how Indy Man he's out and we are

723
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 13: here the twenty twenty five NFL scouting Combine.

724
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 7: It's the peak.

725
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: Everything's working too.

726
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 18: If it's every kid's dream to make it to NFL

727
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 18: combine and go crazy, and you.

728
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: Got to go make it happen.

729
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna let it fly, take a deep breath,

730
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: and Game.

731
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 19: One, I'm gonna feel confident myself, you know, confident the

732
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 19: work I put in and watch stop.

733
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 6: Now, when that draft begins, we're expecting to hear Travis

734
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 6: Hunter's name called extremely early. How early we shall see

735
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 6: one hundred and eleven and a half snaps per game

736
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 6: right there, lead FBS, I mean, that's that happens when you're.

737
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 7: Playing both ways. But look at that in the bottom.

738
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 6: No NFL player has played more than one hundred snaps

739
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 6: in any game, any game since twenty twelve. And here's

740
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 6: a guy who thinks he's going to wind up playing

741
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 6: both ways in the NFL.

742
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: Or believes that he can do that.

743
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 6: We shall see some are skeptical, some believe he can

744
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 6: do it. And Brian Baldinger, which side of the equation

745
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 6: is he on? The Natalie dressed Brian Baldinger. Look, Travis

746
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 6: Hunter is going to have an impact on both sides

747
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 6: of the ball.

748
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 7: We know that. Just how big which side more than

749
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 7: the other? I mean, you tell me, Balding.

750
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 15: Well, I was opted for the pro day in Boulder

751
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 15: on Friday, and he put on a show just catching

752
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 15: the ball and just being Travis Hunter. He put on

753
00:33:59,280 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 15: a show.

754
00:33:59,520 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 12: I would deep.

755
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 15: I dug deep into my fasaurus here, Mike, and I

756
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 15: came up with indefatigable. Like the guy just doesn't tire,

757
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 15: He doesn't breathe hard. You go back, you talk about

758
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 15: one hundred eleven you know, snaps a game. His first

759
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 15: game for Colorado was at TCU in a hundred degree

760
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 15: one hundred and two degree heat. He played one hundred

761
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 15: and forty snaps that day, took off an interception at

762
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 15: the goal line, I mean, helped win that game. He

763
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 15: was catching all these balls without gloves. He doesn't need gloves.

764
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 15: His hands are unbelievable. He can adjust to any ball

765
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 15: he is. He's a rare, rare athlete and you really

766
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 15: can't take your eyes off. In fact, it wasn't just me,

767
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 15: it was Champ Bailey, it was Deon Sanders, it was

768
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 15: John Payton, there was everybody that was in attendance that

769
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 15: they couldn't stop watching them, and uh, and just how

770
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 15: smooth and fluid it is. And I understand all these

771
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 15: questions about, well, you gotta really perfect one side of

772
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 15: the ball first. I think he could do both, Mike,

773
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 15: I really do. I believe he can be your starting

774
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 15: wide wide receiver. I believe he could be your starting corner.

775
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 15: I believe he can improve two positions on your team

776
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 15: day one. Now you're gonna play them every snappanos on

777
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 15: those places. No, but if you're playing a team with

778
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 15: three great wide receivers, why wouldn't you have Travis Hunter

779
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 15: out there on one of them? And if you if

780
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 15: you've got all this different offense, you've got your two

781
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 15: minutes thrill, you got your red zone, you get all

782
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 15: this third downs. Why is he on the field and

783
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 15: some of those packages, you know, just putting the fear

784
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 15: of his ability to catch it from anywhere on the field,

785
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 15: adjust to it and finish these these uh, these catches

786
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 15: in the end zone like he did at Colorado. I

787
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 15: believe he's going to be a star player day one

788
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 15: in this league.

789
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 6: I've seen some people say, well, you can make more money,

790
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 6: it seems right now as a wide receiver on that

791
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 6: side of the ball than you can cornerback.

792
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 7: But you can also.

793
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 6: I mean, if you're Travis Hunter and you wind up

794
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 6: playing both sides, you could be the show. Heyo Tani

795
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 6: of the NFL and say you got.

796
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 15: To pay me like incentives, Mike, Well, I mean, look

797
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 15: at the agent should have a lot of fun loading

798
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 15: up the incentive packages for catches, touchdowns, interceptions, fastest defense.

799
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 15: I mean you could draw up a couple snaps with

800
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 15: contracts with this kid.

801
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, takeoffs like all that.

802
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah.

803
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 16: Uh.

804
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 6: Indefatigable, according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, incapable of being fatigued.

805
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 6: I would refer to you, Baldy, as induplicable. We can't

806
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 6: be duplicated.

807
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's now.

808
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: We'll apply.

809
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 7: Appreciate you, buddy, Thank you, Baldy. Always bringing the heat

810
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 7: on the insiders.

811
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 4: One way to describe me would be generational, be.

812
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 9: Prepared to be astound.

813
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:47,959
Speaker 2: He elevated his draft stock.

814
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 20: Wasn't a better athlete than nicking men war Warri Nicki

815
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 20: min Warri defensive bet South Carolina that is awesome.

816
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 4: This guy's legit.

817
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 20: The night before the combine, I wrote them whiteboard vertical

818
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 20: forty three.

819
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 9: Forty three broad jump eleven five eleven and a half broad.

820
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 20: Forty four three through four three five a sub four

821
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 20: four forty. I didn't hit my forty, but it just

822
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 20: shows what type of mindset I had and what type

823
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 20: of belief I had in myself coming into the combine.

824
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: And I back it up.

825
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 12: All right.

826
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 4: My style of play is kind of real, I'll say unique.

827
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 20: When I was in college, you know, I just prided

828
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 20: myself on being able to play every position. You know,

829
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 20: played a little bit of Nickel, got a lot of

830
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 20: good tape on their play, a little bit of strong

831
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 20: safety and free safety. So I'm just real versatile and

832
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 20: I'm big enough to come off the edge, fast enough

833
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 20: to guard your slot receiver, physical enough to.

834
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 4: Tackle a running back.

835
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 20: Seven seven seven chain I had got and that just

836
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 20: meant a lot to me because my jersey number seven,

837
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 20: my birthday is February seventh, and my family have a

838
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 20: total of seven family members. That are seven reasons why

839
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 20: I played so like it just resonated. You mean, I

840
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 20: got four older brothers, so the household was crazy, but

841
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 20: it was fun. My Reese arrests all the time, a

842
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 20: lot of WW moves we used to do on each other,

843
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 20: but it was a fun household.

844
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 4: We used to compete all the time growing up.

845
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 20: When I hear my name called on draft night, man,

846
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 20: I'm gonna try to be strong, hold it in, but

847
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 20: I'm not sure how I feel. I hope I don't

848
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 20: crown TV, but maybe I will. There's been a lot

849
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 20: of hard work. Everything I've been through a lot of

850
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 20: long nights. Everything's gonna pay off soon, giving back to

851
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 20: my family, being able to support them, support my community,

852
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 20: being one of those guys that made it out from Irmo,

853
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 20: South Carolina. So the NFL Draft is a moment I've

854
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 20: been waiting for all my life.

855
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: Happy birthday too. Ravens linebacker ro Kwan Smith, who's entering

856
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: his eighth NFL season somehow still only turning twenty eight

857
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: years old today, which means he's still got a lot

858
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: of hype speeches in them.

859
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,600

885
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: to give, complete with all those words that you couldn't

00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: teams since nineteen seventy have fired a head coach in

892

Speaker 7: They have a winning record a couple of years ago.

897
