1
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the Insiders. I am Tom Pelissera. We

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: are just seventy three short days away from kickoff in

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four NFL season. And don't worry about

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: me sitting here all over at the top of the show,

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: like Jalen hurts, I'm gonna have a lot of help.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: That's because five time Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: joining me and Brian Baldinger on the show tonight. What's

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: ahead for the Eagles? Are they looking forward to that

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Brazil trip in week one? We'll get into a lot

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: of that with Lane Johnson during this show. We'll also

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: talk about the arms race, literally arms in the AFC South,

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Can anybody topple? CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans Al's

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: talk dark horse MVP candidates Kyler murrayby in that mix,

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: Jared got tons to get into. But let's start with

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: some big news from early this morning out of Green Bay,

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: where the Packers Board of directors unanimously approved Ed Policy

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: as the French his new chairman, president, and CEO, a

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: move that effectively makes Policy the deve facto owner of

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: the NFL's only community owned franchise that will start in

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: July of twenty twenty five, when Mark Murphy, who has

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: held that post since way back in two thousand and eight,

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: set the cycle off as he hits his seventieth birthday.

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: They ran a thorough search, but ed Policy, the son

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: of longtime forty nine Ers president, Carbon Policy is the

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: man an in house hire in Green Bay. As we

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: welcome in more of our friends right here Stacy Dales.

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: That covers the Packers quite a bit, as well as

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: our front office analyst, Mark Ross.

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: Mark.

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking this morning going back to my Green

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: Bay Prescauzette days, and that was at a time of

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: the transition from not just Brett Favre Aaron Rodgers, but

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: it was Bob Harlan to Mark Murphy. Mark Murphy has

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: held that post ever since. Not just have the Packers

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: had three quarterbacks effectively for three decades, they've had three

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: team presidents overseeing the entire operation.

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: So I posed this question to you.

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: Mark, Brett Faha won a Super Bowl, Aaron Rodgers won

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, So I would argue maybe they could

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: have won more than one Super Bowl. Jordan Love and

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: the Packers, how set up are they in your mind

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: to get that Super Bowl?

43
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 4: And maybe another Well, you talked about the stability, Tom,

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: and you forgot about the people making the decisions and

45
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: the stability there. Ron Wolf goes to Ted Thompson, goes

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: to Brian Gudakis.

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: They all Kevin in that green Bay tree.

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 4: That stability in the front office with the decision makers

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: allows for stable decision making with quarterbacks. Ron Wolf traded

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: for Far Ted Thompson drafted Aaron Rodgers, and now Goody

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: got his guy a Jordan Love. And he got Jordan Love,

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: but he also surrounded him with a ton of young

53
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: talent who.

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: He gets to grow with together.

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: And you get to make those decisions as a GM

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 4: because you have the stability to say, you know what,

57
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: this is not a knee jerk season here or there. Yes,

58
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 4: we're going to allow you to draft these young guys

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 4: and grow together. And so far it has been worked

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: out tremendously in one season with Jordan Love and all

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: his young receivers and tight ends and offensive linemen. So

62
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: Green Bay really has been the standard bearer Stacey of.

63
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: You gotta have the quarterback, got.

64
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 4: To have the stability on the back end, and just

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: in one season, I know you'll talk about it might

66
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: be even better in a year two for Jordan ro

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: Love and.

68
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 5: Grow absolutely, Mark, and congratulations to Ed. And you know,

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 5: it's just an organization that seems to make smart decisions

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 5: all the time, right, And that is the case when

71
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 5: it comes to quarterbacks. And I've done reports on comparing

72
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 5: you know, Brett Farve's first season to Aaron Rodgers first

73
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 5: season to Jordan Love's first season, and it got markedly

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 5: better last year. And when you talk about year one

75
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: to two, this actually is his fifth season in Green Bay.

76
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 5: So listen, Mark and Tom. He knows this offense, but

77
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: I would describe it as the old cliche night and

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 5: day from last offseason to this offseason. And Jordan Love

79
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 5: has openly talked about how much better a feel he has.

80
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: They often picked pretty good head coaches too, with his

81
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: head coach and play caller Matt Lafleur specifically, how much

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 5: better a feeling he has for what Matt Lafleur is seeing,

83
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: what he's calling based upon what he's seeing, and guys,

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 5: that absolutely permeates this entire young roster. It was the

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 5: youngest offense in the National Football League last season, and

86
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 5: it will be one of the youngest subsequently.

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 6: This season.

88
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: Last year was the first time, as Jordan Love has

89
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: talked about that a lot of his young players, a

90
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 5: couple of those guys, big time rookies. We're hearing play

91
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 5: calls for the first time in the NFL. And it's

92
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 5: at a point now where he has acknowledged he can

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: actually change the call at the line of scrimmage in

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 5: his second full time season as starter. So things look

95
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 5: really exciting for the Green Bay Packers offensively with just

96
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 5: another young offense that I think guys, they could have

97
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 5: some superstars in the making on that receiver corp.

98
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: Mark.

99
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: This is also a franchise. It's not the afraid to

100
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: pay the quarterbacks a lot of money. They had the

101
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: highest paid quarterback for a long time a decade or

102
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: so ago with Aaron Rodgers. The difference was back then

103
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: that was at twenty two million dollars per year. Now

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: the top of that mark is one hundred and fifty

105
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: percent beyond it at fifty five a year. Jordan Love

106
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: did the band aid deal last year. He's on the

107
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: books for like eleven million this season. He's not going

108
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: to play for that. In your mind, from a front

109
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: office perspective, what is the magic number to make sure

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: you're locking in Jordan Love for the long haul here.

111
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: Well, you know they've been working on this, of course

112
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 4: behind the scenes. We don't see it publicly, but of

113
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: course they're working on it and working out different ways.

114
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: And it's always that final number. You talk about, Tom

115
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 4: and who what was the last one? What's fifty five

116
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: year for Trevor Lawrence. Now that's kind of the number.

117
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: We'll we get fifty six per year, we'll get up

118
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: to sixty.

119
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: It just all.

120
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: Depends on how they're going to structure the deal. But

121
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: whatever that number ends up being, are they going to

122
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: get it in there before Tua's deal gets in We'll.

123
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: Talk about to it later.

124
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 4: Now does that throw off the number for what the

125
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: next big number is to the next in line? Interesting

126
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 4: thing for me, we talked about this last week. Who's

127
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: ever the next one up is the best contract? But

128
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 4: for me, Jordan Love also has a chance to be

129
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 4: a top five quarterback as well. So not only is

130
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 4: he just the next one up, I think he has

131
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: a chance to be that's one up as well.

132
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: When it's all said done, Tom and Stacy, guys, and.

133
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 5: I would just say, didn't Jordan Love just get engaged

134
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 5: to his partner and now fiance. I think things are

135
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: going really well for Jordan Love. Oh guess what nice

136
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 5: job control room. We have a shot of it right here. Congratulation,

137
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 5: congratulations to this couple, because listen, if you're getting engaged

138
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 5: in the offseason in a place like that, Tom and

139
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 5: Mark and you are due for a big contract extension

140
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 5: after the way we've seen this young man evolve in

141
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 5: this organization sitting behind Aaron Rodgers all these years. Good

142
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 5: things are in store for him. He deserves it. And shoot,

143
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 5: they might have a pretty good defense in Green Bay

144
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 5: this year too.

145
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: We start off the segment talking about would Jordan Love

146
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: get that ring? And maybe more? We don't actually know that,

147
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: but we know who does have a ring, his new fiance,

148
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Ronica Stone. Congratulations to the spy couple. What a great

149
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: soap opera pairing of names. By the way, Jordan Love

150
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: and Ronica Stone. That's some days of our lives stuff.

151
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: I love it. Elsewhere in the NFC North, hey, we

152
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: got some drama, some soap opera type stuff around this

153
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: division in terms of the quarterbacks who are coming in.

154
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: That of course begins, but the number one overall draft

155
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: pick Caleb Williams, who now is one of just five

156
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: first round picks who have not signed their rookie deals.

157
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: Four of them happened to be in the same division.

158
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: You got Caleb Williams Romadoonze who surely is waiting for

159
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams deal to get done first. Same thing with

160
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy and Dallas Turner, as well as Marius Mims

161
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Stacey, you're there in Chicago. You spent a

162
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: great deal of time around that Bears team through the

163
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: course of Mini camp and everything else. When you talk

164
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: about this Bears team and you talk about what Caleb

165
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Williams can do moving forward, where does he fit into

166
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: the bigger picture in terms of the quarterbacks coming up

167
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: here and what this Bear's team hopes to accomplish in

168
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

169
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 5: Well, Tom, to put it simply, he fits in perfectly

170
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 5: well to the big picture, so much so that I

171
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 5: would just say, given what I've witnessed, observed, and gleaned

172
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 5: over the course of this offseason, he is ready for

173
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: the demands and the pressure that go along with being

174
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 5: the franchise quarterback of the Chicago Bears in a city

175
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 5: like Chicago. That is absolutely demanding success.

176
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 6: They are so.

177
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 5: Overdue, I guess is the word for success, and especially

178
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 5: at the quarterback position, at least they feel because I

179
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 5: live here in Chicago. The thing that he's done really well,

180
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 5: besides integrating himself into the community, and that is a

181
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 5: genuine integration, is the forging of his relationships, not only

182
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 5: with Maddi, but with his new teammates. He has great

183
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 5: reverence and respect for them. So there's a humility that

184
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 5: he has brought. If you talk to any of his teammates,

185
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 5: there's a humility despite being the first overall pick, that

186
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: he's brought to this locker room. I think the teammates

187
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 5: love that part about him. And then it's the on

188
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 5: the field stuff.

189
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 6: You guys.

190
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 5: Putting it very simply, Caleb Williams as good as he is,

191
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: as well as he can sling the rock if you will,

192
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 5: He has so welcomed the learning curve and what it

193
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 5: will take in terms of cadence and command. Right, it

194
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 5: ain't clap, let's get and go with the play call

195
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 5: from the sideline. It is he has got to read

196
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 5: that thing out to his offensive line and to the

197
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: rest of the offense. He's got to get up under

198
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 5: center and make sure that whole thing is a working operation.

199
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: He has welcomed that challenge, and I anticipate that with

200
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 5: all the talent there on that roster, things could be

201
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 5: maybe not perfect, but a little bit more smooth than

202
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 5: maybe we anticipate we'll see in training camp.

203
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: It's so fascinating, Stacy, because a big part of the

204
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: narrative with Caleb Williams coming out was just going to

205
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: be what type of a a guy was he going

206
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: to be in the locker room? Is he all about

207
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: all these other things that aren't football. As teams did

208
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: their homework and the Bears did their homework, a lot

209
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: of what they got back out of the USC program

210
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: was hemates.

211
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: Love the guy.

212
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: He goes to the Heisman Trophy ceremony, he brings all

213
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: of his offensive linemen, the backup quarterback has a birthday party.

214
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: Caleb shows up. They had him go out the Bears

215
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: did with some of his veteran teammates prior to them

216
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: selecting him as part of his thirty visit here. They

217
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: came away convinced this guy is the right person as

218
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: well as player to help us move forward in Chicago.

219
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: Miami seems like they've got their guys. Well it's to

220
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: a tongue Iloa, the Dolphins quarterback, but they have not

221
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: yet gotten to a contract with him either. Tiny Tua

222
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: as we I guess are gonna call him now here

223
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: spoke about his contract situation with the Porters a few

224
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: weeks ago.

225
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 7: Am I concerned about it? I'm not concerned about it,

226
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,479
Speaker 7: But there's a lot of discussions, you know, that we've

227
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 7: had that you know, we just are trying to move

228
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 7: that thing into the right direction where we can both

229
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 7: be happy it personally.

230
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: Does your agent update you like every time they're a toss?

231
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 7: Well, my my agent updates me. But for me, I

232
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 7: don't like updates like every time, Like, you don't got

233
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 7: to tell me the little things. Just tell me things

234
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 7: that that matter. Are we getting to where we want

235
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 7: to or are we not? That's it.

236
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 8: Did you think there'd be more progress at this point?

237
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 7: Well, I think there's been a lot of progress at

238
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 7: this point from where we started. There's been a lot

239
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 7: of progress. Now, you know, you can ask the other question,

240
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 7: then why aren't we seeing you know, in agreement. Well,

241
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 7: that's the tough part about it. That's why it's it's business.

242
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 7: That's why you got one side and the other trying

243
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 7: to work to meet in the middle.

244
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: Let's bring in our friend Camera Wolf, who's down there

245
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: in South Florida, spends a lot of time around that

246
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins team.

247
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: Cam.

248
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: I feeling we've had this conversation once or twice over

249
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: the past several months here with Tua Takaba Loa. Give

250
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: me your breakdown of where we stand right now and

251
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: how this thing proceeds in the month or so leading

252
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: up to training camp.

253
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 9: Well, Thomas teammates are calling him skinny to a first

254
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 9: of all, now that he's down the two fifteen down

255
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 9: from where he was last season, so he's lost about

256
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 9: ten or fifteen pounds from there. But a big thing

257
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 9: for the Dolphins as they go forward in an offseason,

258
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 9: obviously to of Tongue Balloa's contract extensions at the forefront,

259
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 9: but they are embracing really the negative narratives that will

260
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 9: follow them through this year three of the Mike McDaniel era.

261
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 10: There's had a lot of good in these two years.

262
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 9: Number one ranked offense resurgence of Tua on the heels

263
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 9: of that big contract extension, two winning seasons, two playoff

264
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 9: ascension appearances, but the big negative no playoff wins and

265
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 9: a four ten ten record in December and January. And

266
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 9: so I asked met Mike McDaniel in our last media

267
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 9: session two weeks ago, how do you coach your team

268
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 9: to get better come winter and playoff time?

269
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 10: He told me something interesting.

270
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 9: Listen here, he said, for half the offseason, he's had

271
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 9: staff meetings at seven to twenty four or three twenty

272
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 9: four or five to twenty four, all for the number

273
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 9: twenty four to mark the amount of years the Dolphins

274
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 9: have gone without a playoff win. That's an NFL high

275
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 9: twenty four years. So he wants the team to assess

276
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 9: about it, to embrace it, rather than let it overcome

277
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 9: them when that narrative comes up. And so the reality

278
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 9: is the spotlight is on this Dolphins team and it

279
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 9: will get brighter if and when Tua does become one

280
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 9: of the NFL highest paid quarterbacks. And as we talked

281
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 9: about in the top, negotiations are still ongoing, as Tuas said,

282
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 9: and I've heard there has been progress, but nothing done yet,

283
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 9: and both sides still want to get a deal done

284
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 9: by the start of the season. If it is done,

285
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 9: I expect to come in in the range of recent

286
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 9: quarterback extensions like Jared Golf, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, all

287
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 9: in that fifty three to fifty five million range. But

288
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 9: structure and guarantees are often the trickiest thing with this

289
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 9: And one thing I'll say Mark Tua used the word

290
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 9: ANTSI last time he talked and describe as motions of

291
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 9: not having a deal done at this point. He did

292
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 9: practice in the spring, but sat out eleven on eleven drills.

293
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 9: I'm curious to see what happens if there is no

294
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 9: deal at the start of training camp. Does he miss

295
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 9: eleven on eleven camp? That becomes a little bit more significant.

296
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: Cam.

297
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: It does feel like we talk about this every week.

298
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: But yes, these contracts are complicated people. This is why

299
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 4: it takes a while. It's not like, hey, here, take

300
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: this money and keep moving on. There's so much to

301
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: these contracts that you go back and forth with your

302
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: agent and your cat guy or a couple of cat

303
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 4: guys with it with the players agent. So that's why

304
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 4: it takes a while. It will get done. I have

305
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: no question that it will get done. And as we

306
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: talked about too, is the next man up and the

307
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: improvement and the record in the playoffs and the lack

308
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: of wins against big time teams. Tua has to get better,

309
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel. Of course he's going to take take the

310
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: brunt for himself and say as a coach, I had

311
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: to get better. But Tua has to get better too, Cam.

312
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: And that's that quick offense where he gets the ball

313
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: out fast and when they can out scheme people, they roll.

314
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: But when they can't do that, Tua has not shown

315
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: the ability to kind of take, Okay, what's my next

316
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 4: move off of this the skinny to a losing weight,

317
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: help them out with the movement, avoiding the rush and

318
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: making plays on the move. Is that going to be

319
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: the new facet of his game that it improves, but

320
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: he has to show that ability to handle the rush,

321
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: have that second option when things aren't quick and move

322
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: around skinny to Is he going to do it? Tom, Tiny, Tim,

323
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: whatever you want to call him, Tom, But we'll go

324
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: with Cam skinny toa that sounds better.

325
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: Cam, real quick.

326
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Before we let you go here, you mentioned fifty three

327
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: to fifty five, which I think is where a lot

328
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: of people probably thought the tool contract would come in prior.

329
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: To Trevor Lawrence.

330
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Now Trevor Lawrence on the books at fifty five, matching

331
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. You can go back and forth on the structure,

332
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: but do you still think realistically this there's a chance

333
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: that this deal could get done for under fifty five

334
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: million dollars per year.

335
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 8: No.

336
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 9: I think, as Tua said, clearly, the market is the market,

337
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 9: and I think Trevor Lawrence set the floor as far

338
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 9: as the AAV and I think the guarantees as we

339
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 9: look deeper into the deal, I think that'll be the

340
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 9: elements there's still deciding upon.

341
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 10: I don't expect him to take lower than what Trevor

342
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 10: Lawrence just took.

343
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: Cam Mark, thank you very much. Do not go anywhere.

344
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: We will be back with you shortly here. Meanwhile, elsewhere

345
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: in the AFC, we also had a move today by

346
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, who informed defensive tackle Isaiah Bugs

347
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: they are releasing him after multiple offseason arrests. Bugs bond

348
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: was revoked after his most recent arrest. He is currently

349
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: in jail as multiple legal cases play out. Bigger issues

350
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: to worry about than football at this point in Kansas

351
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: City is moving on coming up after this, cam Wolf

352
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: will be back. He's all over the place, all over

353
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: the AFC East, the AFC South and Blowyer. There's some

354
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in that ladder.

355
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: Division.

356
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Will break them all down, the latest insights on every

357
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: one of those guys, from C. J. Stroud to Anthony

358
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: Richardson and beyond. Who has a chance to take down

359
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: Stroud and the Texans. We'll talk about it on the inside.

360
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: The easiest way to break down Trevor Lawrence's new contract.

361
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: He got all the money, all of it, five year,

362
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five million dollar contract ascension with

363
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty two million dollars fully guaranteed. The

364
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: fifty five million dollar per year apy matches Joe Burrow

365
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: for the most in NFL history. So what does Trevor

366
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: Lawrence have to do to live up to that type

367
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: of contract? For answers on that, we bring back our

368
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: friend Cameron Wolf here a fascinating division. First of all,

369
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: Cam overall here. If you're going down the list right

370
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: now in terms of the most intriguing teams, I don't

371
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: know if the Jaguars are in the top couple that

372
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: most people would say, but let's focus on Trevor Lawrence here.

373
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: You get paid like that, the pressure mounts even more

374
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: than it normally would on a number one pick. How

375
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: does he live up to it?

376
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

377
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 10: Tom, First, I can't win South This year youngest.

378
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 9: Quarterback division in football, all four starters under twenty five

379
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 9: years old, and the most experienced and highest paid one

380
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 9: is Trevor Lawrence.

381
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 10: And external expectations will.

382
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 9: Always rise with big money contracts, and the expectation for

383
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 9: the jag is a successful twenty twenty four season turning

384
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 9: to the playoffs, not just getting there, winning at least

385
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 9: one playoff game like they did in the first year

386
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 9: with Doug Peterson and Lawrence together.

387
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 10: And look, Lawrence talked to reporters earlier this.

388
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 9: Month and said he doesn't feel any extra pressure or

389
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 9: expectations because he always carried the pressure as a franchise quarterback.

390
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 9: But now all eyes are on him. Can he make

391
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 9: that jump from good quarterback to great quarterback? That's what

392
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 9: his contract represents. A quarterback that can lead his team

393
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 9: against Patrick Mahomes, against Josh Shallen, against Lamar Jackson, against

394
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 9: Joe Burrow, and one controllable area the Jaguars really want

395
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 9: Lawrence to take that next step is turnovers He's had

396
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 9: sixty turnovers in his first three years NFL High twenty one.

397
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 9: They think it comes from him being a little bit

398
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 9: too much superhero in those moments. They think experience and

399
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 9: also comfort will help, and he's already been a more

400
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 9: vocal guy in that building in terms of what he

401
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 9: wants in the offense.

402
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 10: I'm eager to see in training camp that early chemistry with.

403
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 9: Gabe Davis in first round pick Brian Thomas Junior, so

404
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 9: they can get off to a fast start.

405
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: That's superhero mentality too, may contribute to some of those injuries.

406
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 3: We know that he was banged up.

407
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: He plays through a lot, but he's not always at

408
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: one hundred percent when he's on the field. You better

409
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent if you're going to try to

410
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: take down c J. Stroud and the Texans, who if

411
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: he went rewound to a year ago Cam we're talking

412
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: about realistically, what can he do? He'll probably start, but hey,

413
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: it's a new coaching staff, aholl new instead. They're one

414
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: of the most fun teams in the entire NFL through

415
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: the course last season, year two.

416
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 8: What's next?

417
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll talk to multiple league azexs, who says c J.

418
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 9: Stroud and Houston have jumped Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence is

419
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 9: the class the AFC South and the best threat to

420
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 9: challenge Kansas City in this division. Now they have the

421
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 9: hunted label on it. And one thing I've continued to

422
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 9: hear about CJ is they're going to give him more

423
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 9: control and ownership of this offense. He has a high

424
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 9: football IQ and has earned it. In the addition of

425
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 9: Stefan Diggs, more attention will be on how CJ manages

426
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 9: these three receivers, all with a alpha dog mentality. We

427
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 9: know Digs, but you got Nico Collins, big money dude

428
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 9: as well, and then Tank Dell coming off a really

429
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,239
Speaker 9: hot rookie season. It's a role that CJ welcomes. You're

430
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 9: building quick chemistry already with these receivers. And a quick

431
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 9: story about CJ. Jaguars Dbs raved to me after a

432
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 9: game last year saying that he was a top five

433
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 9: superstar talent by middle of the season, and they said

434
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 9: their receivers broke open deep instead of short. That's just

435
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 9: a sign of CJ telling his receivers what he wants

436
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 9: and being clear with them overall.

437
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson same draft class, but his rookie year starts

438
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: four games, doesn't finish three of them because of injuries. Here, Cam,

439
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: how is he doing medically as we look at the

440
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

441
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, Tom, I'm told Anthony Richardson's arm is good. He's healthy.

442
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 9: He was back thrown on the field during spring workout,

443
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 9: slinging sixty yard passes. I'm told remember he had surgery

444
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 9: on that ac joint in October of last year. He

445
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 9: did miss the last day of mini camp earlier this month,

446
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 9: but that was termed to me as general shoulder soreness, precautionary,

447
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 9: not worthy of much concern. I'm told he's going to

448
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 9: train during summer break in Jacksonville with his private coterback

449
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 9: coaches will hewlet It and Tom Cormiley, and he'll report

450
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 9: to Indy from camp in late July. One thing Shane

451
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 9: steike In, the head coach, really wants him to work

452
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 9: on is being smarter in how he runs, being more selective.

453
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 9: They're on the same page with that. Anthony richards has said,

454
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 9: I'm not going to change my play style completely, but

455
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 9: I will be smarter and my goal is to play

456
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 9: every game this year.

457
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the only new head coach in that division. It's

458
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: Brian Callahan in Tennessee. He said a lot of positive

459
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: things about Will Levis, including here on this show The

460
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Insiders back in March. What's the plan for Will Levis

461
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: to not just be a fun story. He has guys

462
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: owing and eyeing with some of the throws he makes

463
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: in those micdup segments on the sideline, but actually put

464
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: them in that AFC South Max Yeah.

465
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: Tom.

466
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 9: One thing that was told to me early Brian Callahan,

467
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 9: the head coach, showed him a lot of Joe Burrow

468
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 9: tape and a glimpse of what this game will be like. Look,

469
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 9: Levis is not Joe, but they think that he can

470
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 9: seceed through a lot of the receivers they've added in

471
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 9: this offense, Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd to go with

472
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 9: DeAndre Hopkins. And I talked to a tight coach earlier

473
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 9: this week who told me that, look, one thing I

474
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 9: noticed during the spring is Levis really started to master

475
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 9: the offense in the latter stages and he also has

476
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 9: a trip plan with its receiver this summer. That's all

477
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 9: the elements of a young quarterback trying to take ownership.

478
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 9: He has that big arm, but he was inconsistent with

479
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 9: his accuracy. It was notable, though, that the Titans did

480
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 9: not sign at Kirk Cousins or draft of Michael Pennix.

481
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 9: They believe that Levis can be this quarterback and they

482
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 9: can develop them. But if not, then maybe they're back

483
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 9: in the quarterback hunt next summer.

484
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: They gave one of the biggest humans I've ever been

485
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: next to J. C. Latham with their first round pick camp.

486
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. You know who else? One of

487
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: the biggest humans I've ever seen in my life? Our

488
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: next guess it's Lane Johnson, the five time Pro Bowl

489
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: right tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles.

490
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: After what happened down the stretch last season.

491
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: How do they get back on track in twenty twenty four?

492
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: Baldy and I with Lane Johnson answers right after this.

493
00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 11: On the inside, I don't know what's next, but I

494
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 11: look forward to the new challenges and opportunities that'll wait.

495
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 12: And I know that I carry with me the lessons

496
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 12: for my time here and that forever and that forever

497
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 12: we shall all share the bond of being Philadelphians.

498
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 3: Can only imagine some of those emotions.

499
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: He's all right there from Jason Kelsey were about this,

500
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: going to London seeing his brother's girlfriend Taylor Swift show

501
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: and then bragging about how many friendship racelets he got.

502
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: Good for you, Jason, keep enjoying retirement. Meanwhile, it's onward

503
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: and hopefully upward for the Philadelphia Eagles.

504
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 3: Whose offensive line gonna look a little bit different.

505
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: Than it has for quite a while, particularly at that

506
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: center position where Cam Jurgens is stepping in. It certainly

507
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: helps when you've got a five time Pro Bowl right tackle,

508
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: and what do you know, he happens to join us

509
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: right now. It is Lane Johnson. Lane, thanks a lot

510
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: for being here. Your buddy end Ours Brian Baldeger is

511
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: here as well. I would ask how the off season's going,

512
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: but I'm guessing you don't really look at this time

513
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: period right here.

514
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: As the off season. What are you up to? What's

515
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: going on?

516
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, so we're have about a month until what camps starts.

517
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 13: So getting in shape is nice and hot down here

518
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 13: in Oklahoma. It's one hundred degrees today, so getting in

519
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 13: shape and getting ready for the ways to countdown, Lane, for.

520
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 14: The first time since you came into this league in

521
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 14: twenty thirteen, Jason Kelsey won't be there, and we know

522
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 14: everybody but basically understands that this guy was far more

523
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 14: than just a great football player.

524
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 8: He was a great person. He was a leader. I

525
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 8: almost feel like like he is the Philadelphia Eagles.

526
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 14: What what is the offseason been like without Jason out

527
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 14: there on the field and kind of heading things up

528
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 14: and leading the room and all the things that he's

529
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 14: done since you came into this league.

530
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 13: Yeah, it is a lot different. You know, we have

531
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 13: seen him in the building quite a bit, so I

532
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 13: think he'll be around, you know, a little bit during

533
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 13: the season. But you know, he was just such a

534
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 13: passionate player. He obviously loved what he did and he

535
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 13: loved helping guys. So I think one day he'll make

536
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 13: a great coach. But I know he's busy. He's happily busy,

537
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 13: and yeah, I think he's very consent and yeah, just

538
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 13: you know, I think one of the best centers are

539
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 13: not the best center that'sart played the game.

540
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 14: Plane you proudly wear an Offensive Line Masterminds T shirt

541
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 14: right now.

542
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 8: I'm a little jealous. I don't have one on right now.

543
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 14: But this is the seventh year of the Offensive Line

544
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 14: Mastermind it is. It's grown exponentially every year. I thought

545
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 14: last year was the best year that we've had. Tell

546
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 14: us the fans and the audience out there a little

547
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 14: bit about what got you started behind this thing, because

548
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 14: you've been there from the very beginning. You and Duke

549
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 14: Manuweather down in Frisco, Texas. Tell us what the idea

550
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 14: was when you started this.

551
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, so I think, you know, I credit von Miller

552
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 13: is starting you know, really the summits for you know, positions,

553
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 13: So I think he influenced obviously me talking about it.

554
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 13: Duke is one to reach out and said that we

555
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 13: should start something like this, So, you know, it was

556
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 13: something I felt like the Alvins line had a great

557
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 13: brotherhood and you have lots of vets and Hall of

558
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 13: Fame guys that are just ready to spread knowledge, willing

559
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 13: to spread knowledge. And I was like, we can get

560
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 13: these guys all in one room and have a weekend together,

561
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 13: you know, really at the right time of the year.

562
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 13: I think it could be great for you know, everybody

563
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 13: involved in And it started with around twenty five guys

564
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 13: and I think we're gonna have around three hundred and

565
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 13: fifty this year. And it's just you know, we break

566
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 13: up in two position groups. There's a you know, lots

567
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 13: of great players there that have played that position, so

568
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 13: you get a chance to improve your insight, improve your knowledge,

569
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 13: and you know, I think the timing of it right

570
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 13: before camp really gets you into the right state of

571
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 13: mom you know.

572
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 14: I mean, I think people understand, even people that didn't

573
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 14: play football understand if the offensive line is the brotherhood,

574
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 14: like we we kind of bond together within our own team,

575
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 14: each individual team. We do it after like myself, like

576
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 14: long after I've retired, Like there's always that sort of bond.

577
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 14: I feel like that's a big part of the success

578
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 14: and the growth of the masterminds.

579
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's truly a unique position. You're in

580
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: a position of service suit.

581
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 13: So you know, our job is to protect the quarterback

582
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 13: and open up holes to the run game. So we're

583
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 13: really a fan of everybody you know on the offensive side.

584
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 13: But yeah, I mean, we spend so much time together

585
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 13: and so much of what we do, and our success

586
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 13: depends on the guide to the left and right of us,

587
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 13: you know, being in sequence, knowing the play call, knowing

588
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 13: the proper set lines, and you know, a lot of

589
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 13: a lot of that is what we talk about and

590
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 13: discuss at the summit, you know, talk about recovery, talk

591
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 13: about training. But really, you know, I think the Hall

592
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 13: of Fame panel has really taken off the past couple

593
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 13: of years, getting guys obviously in that category. I think

594
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 13: there are words speed, volumes, and you see he's got

595
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 13: soak it in and it's been really tremendous loss.

596
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: Blaine.

597
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: One of your teammates, Darius Slay, posted something on social

598
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: media the other day saying, how do we get an

599
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: offensive lineman on the.

600
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 3: Cover of Madden?

601
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: Have you have you given any thought to do we

602
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: get a grassroots type effort like the one that got

603
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: Peyton Hillis on the Madden cover many years ago? Do

604
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: we think we could start that right now? Make the

605
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: pitch for a big guy to land on that cover?

606
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 13: Man, I thought I thought Kelse would have been a

607
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 13: great candidate, you know, to be on the cover. I'm

608
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 13: just not sure which one, which one I would go on.

609
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 13: I think I'd w to Kels with a long hair

610
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 13: with the hair touching the shoulders, so.

611
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: I think that'd be a good one.

612
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 8: Lade.

613
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 14: One of the things that's coming up this year as

614
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 14: this game continues to grow is the Eagles are going

615
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 14: to Brazil this year to play your first game Friday night,

616
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 14: opening weekend of the season against the Packers.

617
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 8: Have you had time to kind of.

618
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 14: Think about the travel, the excitement playing like down in

619
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 14: South first game ever in South America like that.

620
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm excited about it.

621
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 13: I'm glad that it's the first game of the year

622
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 13: so we'll get some time to recover from it.

623
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean really don't know what to expect.

624
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 13: I mean, you see the stories about you know what

625
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 13: what jersey we're gonna be allowed to wear, but you know,

626
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 13: I think all that'll be solved shortly. But yeah, I

627
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 13: mean usually training camps a busy time of the year

628
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 13: because you're having open practices, your your scrimmaged against other

629
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 13: teams and travel them to their place, so.

630
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: You know it won't be long. But I really am

631
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: looking forward to it.

632
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 13: Had a good time in London until I got rolled

633
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 13: up on any play, but you know, had a good

634
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 13: time until then, But really looking forward to.

635
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 8: Lane.

636
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: We all know what you guys did Philadelphia for about

637
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: a two year span there for the past half of

638
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, obviously all the way through twenty two

639
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: through the Super Bowl run and then last year we

640
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: all forget you were one of the hottest teams in

641
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: football up until about November there.

642
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: We all also know how it ended.

643
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: What's the best optimistic scenario you can think of in

644
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: terms of you see this team right now, what's the

645
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: best case you can make for this team getting back

646
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: to being that Eagles team we've seen before starting Week one?

647
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean we have a lot of new faces,

648
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 13: a lot of turnovers, so but felt comfortable with the

649
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 13: way that we drafted, got some great players and just

650
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 13: really when you look at our roster, we have a

651
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 13: lot of size. You know, obviously we have to go

652
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 13: prove things and are eager to do so. But when

653
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 13: you just look at the guys walking around the building,

654
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 13: we got size, we got speed.

655
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: And guys willing to work.

656
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 13: So, you know, every year is different, and I wish

657
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 13: I had the answers to you know, why the second

658
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 13: half of the season that went the way it did.

659
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 13: But you know it was something I went by so fast,

660
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 13: and I know effort wasn't a problem.

661
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: So but looking forward.

662
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 13: To obviously this new offense under Keller Moore going to

663
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 13: be some things changed up for us up front, and yeah,

664
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 13: just excited.

665
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: Man talks the year. It's crazy how fast it goes by.

666
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 8: Lane real quick.

667
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: Here.

668
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 14: One guy that does have great size and speed is

669
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 14: your newest teammate, Saquon Barkley.

670
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 8: You've around him this offseason, you're out there on the

671
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 8: field with him.

672
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 14: What have you seen, felt and enjoy about getting No Saquon,

673
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 14: I know you knew him from the Pro Bowl and

674
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 14: stuff like that, but as a teammate now as an egle,

675
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 14: I think he feels super excited about this part of

676
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 14: his next career.

677
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, obviously, I mean once you're saying you'll never forget this,

678
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 13: you know, fensically imposing guy. I think he walks around

679
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 13: around two thirty. You know, he likes the golf, so

680
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 13: we've been golfing a few times. He's he's ultra competitive.

681
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 13: But yeah, I mean when you see obviously what he

682
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 13: can do at the running back position and we can

683
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 13: flex him out and receiver and he can you know,

684
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 13: he can go. It's it's really unbelievable. I never thought

685
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 13: that he would be playing for us, but you know,

686
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 13: here it is. I know that he's excited. We're definitely

687
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 13: excited up front and yeah, man, I think he's boysed

688
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 13: for for a big, big year.

689
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: Three hundred and fifty offensive linemen headed to the Mastermind Summit.

690
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: Awesome what you've built, Lane, real quick, I know, bald,

691
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be joining you there as well. He's

692
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: gonna get a T shirt. You're wearing a T shirt?

693
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: Do you make him in a medium? And if so,

694
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: can I get one of those?

695
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

696
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 13: We got we got a bunch of great sizes. Yeah,

697
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 13: we'll tind of get some info. See if they run

698
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 13: a little bit or large, a little bit looser, if

699
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 13: they're tight fitting, so we'll get the ross ozk.

700
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: Youth Excel also works.

701
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: Lane, thanks a lot for being here, man, Joy, thank you,

702
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: Thank you. Eagles kickoff Week one in Brazil. Lions kickoff

703
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: in Detroit Sunday night football against their old friend Matthew

704
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: Stafford and the Rams. Could be the start of a

705
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: Jared Goff MVP push. Don't laugh, we'll talk MVP dark

706
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: horses next. On The Insiders, Lamar Jackson was, of course

707
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: your twenty twenty three NFL MVP.

708
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 3: Can he make it two in a row?

709
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: We will begin to find out starting seventy three days

710
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: from tonight when Jackson and the Ravens kick off the

711
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four regular season against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

712
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: Time now for on the Clock presented by Ram Trucks,

713
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: Tom Peliserra along with Mark Ross here on The Insiders,

714
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: our friend Judy Batista, who will be back on this

715
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: show I'm sure very soon, has a new story mark

716
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com slash Batista outlining some of these,

717
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: she puts in dark horse candidates for NFL MVP who

718
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: could potentially take down Lamar Jackson. The first name on

719
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: her list Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions. Your thoughts,

720
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: Judy crushed this article.

721
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 4: First of all, in the year's past, anywhere he associated

722
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 4: with the Lions is a dark horse because they had

723
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 4: never done anything. But it's a new error for the

724
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 4: Detroit Lions, and Jared Golf is at the forefront of that.

725
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 4: And first of all, you got to produce Tom and

726
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 4: he did that last year. But most importantly, he'll be

727
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 4: even better because his offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is coming

728
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 4: back a model ras Saint Brown has the huge contract,

729
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 4: but also Jamison Williams, who the year he came out

730
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 4: of the draft or receiver I thought was the most

731
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 4: explosive receiver in that draft. He'll be back first full

732
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 4: time of starting, no no suspensions, no injuries. He's going

733
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 4: to add even more of a playmaking elopment for Jared Golf.

734
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 4: Jamier Gibbs, the running back from last year, will be

735
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 4: even better. So Jared Golf is going to put up numbers.

736
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: He's they're gonna win. They made the NFC Championship game

737
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 4: last year.

738
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 2: They'll win.

739
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 4: He'll have the spotlight, five prime time games and a

740
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving game. So it's going to be right out in

741
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 4: front of everybody for Jared Golf to say, put up some.

742
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: Numbers on on time and when he's going to be

743
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 2: the MVP.

744
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: Positively tom Another name that jumped out of me on

745
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: Judy's list Kyler Murray of the Cardinals, And when you

746
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: think about it a little bit deeper here, I don't

747
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: think it's that crazy now. Obviously they got to accomplish

748
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: a lot just to try to compete within their own division.

749
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: But with Kyler Murray last year, he was coming off

750
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: of the ACL, he wasn't ready at the start, he

751
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: was in a new offense. You still saw a few

752
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: flashes down the stretch. We know he thinks really highly

753
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: of the OC there, Drew Petsing, Is it enough? Does

754
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: it all add up? Mark to Kyler Murray being an

755
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: MVP candid here in twenty twenty four?

756
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not?

757
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: Judy dug deep on this.

758
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 4: One too, And Tom you mentioned it's almost that people

759
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 4: forgot that Kyler Murray was the offensive player of the

760
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 4: year when he came out, made the Pro Bowl twice.

761
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 4: You know, it's almost sad. Who's Kyler Murray can't play anymore?

762
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 4: You saw a little bit of the flashes when he

763
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 4: got back. Now he should be fully healthy.

764
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 3: Oh and he has.

765
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison Junior at his dispolder, who I thought was

766
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: the best wide receiver prospected ten fifteen years, So that

767
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 4: should help out as well. Kind of replicating that Kyler

768
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 4: Murray the DeAndre Hopkins a situation that they had a

769
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 4: few years ago. So yes, if Kyler Murray, the dynamic

770
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 4: playmaker with his arms and his legs, highlight plays may

771
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 4: not have the winning element like Jarrett Golf has in

772
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 4: a lot of primetime games, but just as far as

773
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 4: a dynamic playmaker, he should be in the mix as well.

774
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm worder to help far down the list, we have

775
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: to go. Mark, the'll flat out say no way. Does

776
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: Sam dartle get us there? Does Russell Wilson get us there?

777
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 2: Julia? I'm supporting Judy.

778
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: I'm always gonna support Judy.

779
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: You and I are sitting here doing the show. You

780
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: don't have to help her. She's not watching it on

781
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: whatever island she's on. Okay, Mark, thank you very much,

782
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: appreciate you as always here.

783
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: Could Josh Allen be another one of those guys.

784
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: Who gets into the MVP mix ore Stacey Dale's going

785
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: to be back after this to talk about what Josh

786
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: Allen is trying to do to be even better without

787
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. That's next on the inside. If I told

788
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 1: you Trey McBride caught eighty one passes last season, would

789
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: you believe me?

790
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 3: It's true?

791
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: And he's going to try to kick off his twenty

792
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 1: twenty four in style when he joins the Insiders tomorrow

793
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: night at seven Eastern time. Stevan Diggs ol he always

794
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: catches a bucket of balls. Now he's going to be

795
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: trying to do that in Houston, where one of his

796
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: new teammates, case Keenum. You might remember they connected on

797
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,479
Speaker 1: a pretty big pass against the Saites some years ago.

798
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: Keenum said at his annual youth football camp over the

799
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: weekend that Diggs hasn't lost a step. So where does

800
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: that leave Diggs's latest old team, the Buffalo Bills. Well,

801
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: they brought in some new faces to this team between

802
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, the high draft pick Curtis Samuel Khalil Shakir

803
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: Is back Mark wiz Voldez Scantling in case you missed

804
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: that one, he is now remember that team as our

805
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: Collins and Chase Claypool. But is it enough for that

806
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: Bill's offense with Joe Brady now the full time offensive

807
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: coordinator to be on track? Welcome back to the Insiders.

808
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: It's Tom Pildasero, joined again by our friend Stacy Dale. Stacy,

809
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen been there a lot physically. He puts himself

810
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: through a lot physically that included an elbow injury a

811
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Tell me what this Josh Allen

812
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: this offseason is trying to do to make sure he's

813
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: in top form for an offense that no longer has

814
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: his top receipt.

815
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 5: Well, I think if you look at the full screen, Tom,

816
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 5: that we just saw understanding. It's his seventh season. They

817
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 5: won the division. Last season, they lost to Kansas City

818
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 5: in the divisional round. They went eleven and six on

819
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 5: the regular season. Josh Allen is sitting there also looking

820
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 5: just like Bill's Mafia at this new roster that they

821
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: have assembled. My dad, Hey, Dad, he's watching. He is

822
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 5: a diehard Bill's Mafia fan. And there's some questions, right

823
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 5: who's going to step into the not just Stefan Diggs Roll,

824
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 5: but they gave Davis Roll and the production monsters. Those

825
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 5: two specifically have been for the last four years for

826
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 5: Josh Allen, which to me makes Josh Allen's job this

827
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 5: season tom perhaps the most high pressurized and most responsible

828
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 5: if you will, that he has to become in taking over,

829
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 5: truly taking over what this team does offensively.

830
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 6: He's got to get all these new guys in check.

831
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 6: Keon Coleman.

832
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 5: We know Khalil shak Here's he's pretty good and he's

833
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 5: going to do some good things inside and outside.

834
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 6: They have a lot of trust in him.

835
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 5: But Curtis Samuel's new NBS is new Mark Wes Baldes, Scantling,

836
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 5: and of course Chase Claypool will see if he can

837
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 5: revitalize his career in Orchard Park. But the bottom line

838
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 5: for Josh Allen, understanding all those things that I just mentioned, Tom,

839
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 5: it's all back to mechanics, because you alluded to as

840
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 5: you entered our conversation into the mix today, the injuries.

841
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 5: Even just last year he had the elbow issues, some

842
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 5: shoulder issues, and he openly talked about how he had

843
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 5: to change the way he threw the football last year

844
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 5: and the trajectory of how he threw the football because

845
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 5: of some of those nicks to his armor, if you will.

846
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 5: So for Josh Allen, this month is really critical. It's

847
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 5: getting back to really specific I would almost say, you know,

848
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 5: not as in his words, just refining, but really retooling

849
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 5: the fundamentals. And that's what they've been working on and

850
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 5: some of their opening drills through mandatory mini camp. So

851
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 5: I expect to really sharp Josh Allen because he's got

852
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 5: to be sharp.

853
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 6: For the group around him.

854
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: Bottom line, the Bills need to find some dogs. Maybe

855
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: they can borrow your Stacey always love when he makes

856
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: a little cameo here on the Insiders Don't move all

Speaker 6: I'm curious how they rehearsed this.

875

Speaker 5: I'll say.

877
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,640

878
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that I really don't have much here.

Speaker 10: I mean it's this is me trying.

880
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 8: I don't know.

881
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: I yeah, all right, Let's move on to something more ridiculous,

882
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,879

00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 3: on this one cam.

886
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: If I show up in that week one to a stadium,

887
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 1: do I get fired?

888
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 13: Ah?

889
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 10: No, because now Joe Burrow has done it. And I

890
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 10: will tell you this Tom.

891
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 9: At first, I was very against the shirtless the backless shirt,

892
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 9: and then I thought about it. I'm like, it's a

893
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 9: cool summer here in Florida, and so are you ready

894
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 9: for it?

895
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 10: Me and my wife have been doing some wardrobe and

896
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 10: I decided to.

897
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 8: Change my bless.

898
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 3: That's I do not have a little more low back

899
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 3: than I bargained for. Their cam say, what do you think?

900
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 9: This is the June and I'm I'm practicing my wardrobes

901
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 9: thanks to the Joe Burrow Who've got plenty of time

902
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 9: to get ready.

903
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 5: For the only the only difference, Cam, Let's be honest,

904
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 5: the only difference between your backless and Joe's backless.

905
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 6: That man got paid.

906
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what you're getting paid, but

907
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 5: that man right there, that man.

908
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 6: Got paid to wear that.

909
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 5: So for anybody who wants to opine over what Joe

910
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 5: Burrow is wearing, he got paid and you, my friend,

911
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 5: did not.

912
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 3: For that I did not.

913
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: And this difference was a few hundred rear decies.

914
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 3: But whatever, see tomorrow.
