WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: Mike Mayock In-Studio 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.720 Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. It's inside training Camp, presented by Exfinity 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.800 Eagles insider Dave Spidero Chris McPherson along with me. It's 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.880 a Friday, it's sun splash, it's beautiful, the weather's nice. 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.800 Fans getting fired up about this football team. Chris, I 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.120 like today's practice, Yes, certainly, that's the big thing to 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.120 talk about here, and the offense is in focus today. 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.400 Pat Shermer talking with the media, very excited to be 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.080 reunited with one Sam Bradford and also discussed the running 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.240 back situation to Marco Murray back on the practice field. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.880 But what does that mean for someone like Darren Sprowles, 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.319 who's now definitely the number three running back? And the talk, 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.119 I mean, this is all a process. Well, it's always 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.480 interesting to talk to coaches and you ask them about players, 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.280 and when the players talk about a certain the coaches 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.040 talk about a certain player, they never refer to the 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.959 depth chart and talk about how many reps everybody gets 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.880 in practice. Here we all kind of obsessed who's taking 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.720 the ones, who's taking the twos. It doesn't matter to 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.080 these coaches right now, matters to get as many reps 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.720 as possible, to get them on tape to take a 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.160 look at them and evaluate later. Get them ready for 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.440 the first preseason game a week from Sunday, one pm 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.960 kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field, the Indianapolis Colts come to town. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.280 We'll get you ready for that game, and let's get 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.120 you caught up on the news of the day. Our 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.080 Eagles three sixty update with Alex Smith. Hi everyone, Alex 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.960 Smith here with your three sixty update, presented by Sports Authority. 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.360 It was another hot day here in South Philadelphia as 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.680 the Eagles continued with their twenty fifteen training camp. Today 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.360 was offensive coordinator Pat Shermer speaking about what quarterback Sam 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.760 Bradford has brought to the table to this point. I 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.760 had experience with Sam in his first year in Saint Louis, 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.400 so do a great deal about him, and basically, you know, 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.720 I was able to just give some insight to what 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.919 Sam was all about as a player, and then all 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:16.799 the other stuff kind of happened down the hall from me. 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.840 Another topic that Shermer touched on today was the Eagles 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.840 getting a lot of reps with each other here in 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.280 the early part of training camp, which he says is 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.400 a very good thing as this group tries to mix together. Well, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.120 I think it would be a challenge if you didn't 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.760 train the way we did. You know, we had a 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.240 great deal of reps in the spring. The way we 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.520 practice and the way we train, you know, guys get 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.880 a lot of reps. So new guys and you know, 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.360 these guys have all played other places before. But the 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.400 new guys that we brought in were able to get 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.840 the reps they needed and they got up to speed quickly. Now, 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.359 the offensive line is a position where it's really important 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.400 for all five members to come together to form a 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.919 cohesive unit. So for players like Lane Johnson, John Moffatt, 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.840 these extra reps have a long way. I need him 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.960 right now. I mean even preseason games. I gonna need 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.480 to get that, um, you know, Bond William being on 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.839 the same level, because I mean it takes I gonna 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.600 tell him takes two to tangoes say, we got to 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.800 be on the same levels. I mean even in press protection. Uh, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.360 you know, he helps me out help him. So it's 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.560 it's fine. I think it's mental. I think it's physical. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.760 I think it's you know, it's obviously camp is trying 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.440 for anybody. And then obviously when you take a break 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.200 like I did. Um, getting back into the groove of 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.639 it is obviously going to be a test. Another new 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.400 face here in camp is running back Ryan Matthews, who 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.040 gets the privilege of working with two game breakers around him, 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.040 into Marco Murray and Darren Sproles. And for Matthews, he's 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.800 looking forward to what this new three headed monster could 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.680 have in store. Uh, it's gonna be deciding hopefully, you know. 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.040 I can't wait, you know, but only time would tell. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.200 And you know, he's gotta keep keep working hard out 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.440 here and I just keep being better. Meanwhile, on the 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.840 defensive side of the ball, it was veteran safety Malcolm 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.400 Jenkins who spoke about what some of the Eagles young 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.839 players have done to this point to impress we're coming 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.680 together pretty well. I think. Um, we just started over 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.640 the last couple of days actually wrote taking guys in 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.080 different spots. So where we had Nolan Carroll and Walter 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.760 Thurman running with the ones, this pretty much the last 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.400 couple days they've been with the twos and we've gotten 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.280 Chris Marrigos and Eric row up. We've been able to 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.000 put it in a couple more packages with Nolan Carroll 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.919 getting some rest of the dime. A couple other guys 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.640 in at the nickel position with EJ. Biggers rotate with 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.640 the ones too, So we're moving around with a lot, 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.840 with a lot of different guys to see, you know, 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.880 all the situations to get guys jelling with different different people, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:35.479 see how they communicate. But when we had Maxwell, Nolan Carroll, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.400 myself and and I'll watched the Thurman on the other side, 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.800 the chemistry is there, and guys are veterans in this 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.920 game play some football communications great, We're flying around competitive 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.760 and we're focusing a lot more on the technique. So 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.360 I think it's coming along well. And finally, a quick 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.320 injury update here from the Novacare Complex. Running back to 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.279 Marco Murray warmed up with the team but did not 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.960 participate in team drills today. Linebacker Kiko Alonzo was once 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.360 again absent with canc symptoms. Meanwhile, tight end Zach Ertz 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.120 and linebacker Michael Kendricks also sat out with injuries. From 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.520 a death chart perspective, it was cornerback Eric Rowe who 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.920 took some first team reps today, as did safety Chris Maragos, 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.480 and meanwhile on the offensive line it was Andrew Gardner, 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.279 who took first team reps at right guard. And for 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.560 continuing coverage of Eagles training camp, be sure to keep 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.080 it right here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com.

Welcome into the studio. I'm Dave spidero Eagles 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.840 insider with NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock gets our Gatorade 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.840 one on one, and we are looking at the preseason 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.960 which starts one week from Sunday. Mike of course will 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.600 be in the booth as a color analyst on NBC 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.840 ten and the Eagles getting ready for the Indianapolis Coles. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.640 There's a long way to go between now and then 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.800 in this day by day world, Mike, but I can't 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.920 stop thinking about what it's going to be like to 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.880 see a game against another team where you tackle and 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.360 you can kind of make some observations that really means something, 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.480 you know. It almost has become a year round calendar 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.760 in the NFL, and we get excited about OTAs and 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.960 mini camps and whatever, and as good as they are 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.520 and they're fun, it's nothing like training camp in preseason 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.760 because once you put the pads on and you can 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.880 talk about it all you want. You can watch young 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.360 guys how they develop in shorts, but you really don't 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.120 know what is going to happen until they get out 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.800 there in a real game. So you watch practice, you 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.480 see the tempo here, what do the coaches take from 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.400 a practice that includes a lot of reps, very high tempo, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:50.559 but no tackling, no live periods, everybody's got different feelings 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.679 on whether you should tackle or not. I just left Latrobe, Pennsylvania, 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.320 where the Steelers are, and at the beginning of every 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.360 team practice, they tackle live and they get after it. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.960 And kind of like that because in today's modern world, 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.640 when you don't tackle at all in the preseason, in 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.880 preseason practices, and then you get into the games, your 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.760 starting team plays a series or two week one, couple series, 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.520 week two, a half week three, and hardly at all 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.480 week four. So if you're a defensive back, you might 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.760 get eight or ten live tackles in that entire time frame, 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.360 and then you gotta come out week one in the 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.719 regular season on Monday Night football and tackle. I think 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.920 that's difficult, Mica. As you look ahead to Sunday in 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.760 the Colts, what kind of storylines are forming in your mind? 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:33.520 You know, I look at this team and I think 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.559 they're going to score points. I mean offensively. The Philadelphia 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.600 Eagles were number three in points scored a year ago. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.600 This is a matchup leg and the Philadelphia Eagles are 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.120 a matchup nightmare. And it doesn't matter whether it's Sproles 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.199 or Earth's or outside with Matthews or with the new 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.680 kid from usc Agalar. They're a matchup nightmare, and I 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.760 think they're gonna run the football better than they did 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.600 a year ago down the hill, physical and tough. But 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.680 my whole thing is how good you get on defense. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.839 And what I saw today, I think the corners and 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.319 the safeties are more athletic. I think the front seven 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.400 is going to be outstanding, and you can't afford any 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.319 injuries with your outside linebacker. Let's talk about the wide receivers. 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.760 It looks like Jordan Matthews primarily in the slot. Still 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.240 whether that remains, but what are the advantages of lining 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.720 Jordan Matthews inside rather than having him go outside? And 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.160 then maybe when you want to selectively move him inside. 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.000 I like his size inside, and you know, it doesn't 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.959 really matter whether he's a four or five guy or 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.280 a four six guy inside. You look at the Julian 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.120 Edelman's and the West Welkers. They weren't real fast, but 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.160 they were real quick. They use quickness to create separation. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.280 I think Matthews using size to create separation. And I 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.640 think the advantage for a quarterback is you need somebody 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.000 who's gonna win quickly in the slot. And I think 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.560 with that big body, it's like a basketball rebound. You 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.320 get you know, you get low post position. And that's 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.480 for Sam Bradford at shooting artists. Yeah, and for Sam Bradford, 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.880 let's talk about him, he's getting all the reps as 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.640 the number one quarterback. We don't know how much you'll 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.040 play in the preseason. You want to get them ready 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.040 for September fourteenth in Atlanta. How many reps does he 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.280 need to get all the rust knocked off in a 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.240 game situation. I don't know the answer to that. I 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.280 do know that what I look forward to for your 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.439 entire team, but especially Sam Bradford, are the joint practices 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.440 with the Ravens, Because when you go against another team 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.480 in practice, not not a game, but in practice, you 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.959 get the advantage of all the looks, all the sub packages, 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.080 working with your guys in a quas a live situation 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.680 where nobody's gonna be around your feet, they stay away 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.679 from the quarterback. So I think those joint practices the 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.840 quarterbacks get all the benefits of first team reps against 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.160 a different defense, and it minimizes people rolling into your 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.319 legs and getting hurt. In a preseason game, you're a 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.520 dB guy. You know the Eagles have gone out and 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.000 added six defensive backs, traded Brandon Boyke, a whole new 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.360 look and approach that they want to be physical, they 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.800 want to be at the line of scrimmage in press coverage. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.440 Your thoughts on what will need to be done to 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:02.160 make this successful I mentioned earlier if the Eagles want 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.480 to win a division and make a dent in the playoff, 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.040 the key is getting better on defense and on the 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.800 back end, especially so you look at the corner situation. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.640 He's spend an awful lot of money on Maxwell. He 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.440 looks like the real deal. Eric Rowe a second round pick. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.160 I'm very familiar with him. He's the real deal. I 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.040 think the key is who's the other safety? Can it 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.240 be Thurman? If you play with him, it's like a 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.040 safety with corner feet. So I think they've significantly upgraded 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.760 the talent on the back end. Many many things to 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.120 watch as the Eagles getting ready for the preseason opener 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.280 one week from Sunday, one o'clock kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.360 Mike Mayock in the booth part of the Eagles Television 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.880 Network broadcast.

Lincoln Financial, 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:29.240 You're in charge the Eagles hope to make it a 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.600 perfect ten and oh all time against the New York 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.200 Jets when they face Gang Greene in Week three of 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.200 the twenty fifteen season. And to look ahead at that matchup, 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.240 we go behind Enemy Lined with Rich Sumini, who covers 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.800 the New York Jets for ESPN. Now, Rachel, the first 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.760 thing I want to ask you is how different is 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.600 the atmosphere up there in North Jersey? Now the Todd 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.960 Bowls at a head coach and not Rex Ryan. It's 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.480 one end of the spectrum to the other. As you 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.120 could imagine, everybody knows what kind of character. Rex Ryan 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:02.240 is just kind of a bastic guy. You know, free 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.920 free speech for the players, you know, they had that 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.640 swagger permeated the entire facility. But that Bowls is a 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.480 man of few words. He doesn't make bold predictions. He's 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.800 not going to guarantee a Super Bowl. And the players 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.520 have kind of followed suit with that button down approach. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.560 So it is a dramatically different culture. It makes your 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.400 job a little bit tougher, I would imagine, Rich. Yeah, 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.160 I kind of liked it the old way just from 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.480 a journalistic standpoint. It was a lot of a lot 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.640 of great sound bite and tremendous fodder. But you know, 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.880 but the Jets are always interesting. They have actually a 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.200 pretty interesting cast of characters on this team, so I 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.440 think more of the more of the stories will be 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.400 coming from the locker room, whereas of the past, most 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.320 of it came from Rex's press conferences. Rich get back 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.560 to the actually on the field. Sheldon Richardson, one of 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.960 the league's best defensive linement, was suspended for the first 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.440 four games of the regular season, so he will miss 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.120 this matchup. How does that impact the Jets run defense 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.040 when they're gonna see a Chip Kelly team that loves 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.840 to run the football and has two Pro Bowl, three 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.440 Pro Bowl running backs. When you look at DeMarco Murray, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.120 Ryan Matthews, and Darren Sprowls, Yeah, that's that's how you 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:18.200 would expect Chip to attack the Jets. Sheldon is a 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.200 very good defensive lineman and unlike a lot of other 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.160 d lineman, he prides himself on being a two way player, 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.920 not just a guy who accumulates sacks for the guy 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.760 who does play the run, and so they will miss 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.440 that element in their defense. I still think there'll be 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.960 a good run defense without him. You know, good defensive line, 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.480 you know. And I think probably the guy who's going 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.920 to replace Sheldon is Leonard Williams, who was a sixth 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.480 pick in the draft, and you know, a young just 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.440 turned twenty one, but has a ton of talents, so 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.240 he'll be green, but I think he's got a lot 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.160 of talent. And they have some veteran guys on the 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.320 bench and they'll rotate guys in, so I think they're 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.640 still going to have a pretty decent on defense, but 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.680 it's not going to be what it would have been 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.880 would Sheldon in there. Rich Let's go to the quarterback position. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.520 It's always a hot topic here in Philadelphia, and certainly 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.440 all eyes are on the quarterback position with the Jets 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.960 as well. Who do you think will be under center 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.680 come Week one? I think it'll be Geno Smith, and 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.200 I think when the Jets play the Eagles, it'll still 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:23.280 be Geno Smith. You know, Geno's gonna be in the 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.600 with the first team when they when they practice for 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.200 the first time, He's going to get the majority of 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.600 the reps. Todd Bolts has set that on a number 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.280 of occasions, so really, what would have to happen in 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.159 the prew Gino would just have to have an awful preseason. 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:38.760 I mean, he would really have to stick it up 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.600 for the first two games, opening the door for Ryan Fitzpatrick. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.199 The team. You know, Geno has a higher ceiling I 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.640 think in the eyes of the organization, and they want 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.120 to see this. Rude this because this is Geno's last shot. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.119 Let's face it, He's had two years. You know this 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.360 is going to be his last shot. If he doesn't, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.040 you know, solidify the position this year, then they'll move 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.439 on to someone else. So I think it will be 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.520 Gino in Week one and probably still in there when 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.959 they play the Eagles. Rich, do you think there's anything 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.280 that Chan Gailey, the new offensive coordinator who came in 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.399 with bowls, can do anything to maximize Smith's talent or 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.000 try to take advantage of that upside. Yeah, well, I 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.560 think Chan's going to try to do and easier said 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.240 them done. I think you know they're going to run 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.560 a spread offense. You know, they're gonna spread it out 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.720 or a lot of wide receivers and they're gonna have 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.800 Gino and shotgun a lot. But he was last year 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.679 two and Marty morning rack system. But I think the 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.280 idea or what Chan wants to do is just try 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.119 to you know, quick quick drops, quick release, get the 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:41.679 ball out quickly. They want to kind of minimize Gino's 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.600 having to read the defense. I think Gino probably doesn't 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:50.360 process information quickly in terms of reading coverage, so they 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.400 want to try to simplify that as much as possible 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.000 and get the ball out quickly. It all sounds good 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.000 on paper, you know, when they talk about it, but 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.720 actually doing it as another things. So I'm curious to 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.760 see how that works out. Rich Do you think that 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.840 they realized they're probably not going to get elite level 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.520 quarterback play from that position, so they went out there 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.840 and trade for Brandon Marshall. They drafted Devin Smith in 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.000 the second round, they signed Stephen Really. Do you think 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.800 that the front office realized that and said we gotta 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.879 get as may pieces around Doo to try to make 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.720 him successful, to try to get something out of him. Yeah, 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:25.639 no question. I mean the Jeff No, they're not going 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.120 to have an elite quarterback this year or next year. 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:32.040 I mean, that's that's the hand they're working with right now. 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:36.040 So you know, I think Brandon Marshall will help. He's 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:40.280 you know supposedly in great shape. He's thirty one. I 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:41.600 don't know. I don't know if he'll be the player 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.359 he was a couple of years ago. But I still 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.359 think he's a proven of what they had. So now 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:50.560 you're talking about a pretty decent receiving corps with Marshall 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.560 and Eric Decker. You mentioned Devin Smith coming along. They 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.840 still have Jeremy Curley, so they actually this is probably 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:01.840 their best supporting cat asked for a quarterback since two 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.639 thousand and ten, and so it'll help Gino. Will it 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.199 turn him into a top ten quarterback? Now, that's not 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.159 going to happen. I don't think that'll ever happen. But 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.800 it gives he gives defense is something to think about, 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.359 that's for sure. Richard meaning he covers the New York 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.760 Jets for ESPN.
