1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Running back on the field again, But is this just

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: the latest false start in a long drive towards the deal.

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: We will tell you the latest on James Cook's contract

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: talks as the NFL's leading touchdown score returns the practice.

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin was also.

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Back on the field today, but just out there having

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: a nice little chat with GM. Adam Peters, still not

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: in uniform as his hold in continues. Hear what Commanders

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: coach Dan Quinn had to say about the veteran wide

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: receiver's status. The Packers also will not have their quarterback

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Love on the field anytime soon thanks to surgery

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: today for a thumb injury. We will break down why

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay brass says they are not concerned about Love

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: hurting again. Welcome inside with the Insiders, presented by SATFA

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: alongside Judy Batista. I am Tom Pellisero. Mike Girofolo will

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: be along shortly. We are twenty three days out right

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: now from the opener, just three days away from the

18
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: second full preseason week, and maybe just maybe a small

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: sign of progress for one of Buffalo's most important players

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: to be out there prior to week one. That is

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: running back James Cook, the pro bowler who was on

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: the field today, had begun a hold in about a

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: week ago by telling reporters at the time it was

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: business well, that business is not yet complete. He does

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: not have a new contract, leading reporters to ask Sean

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: mcderbott today, what changed.

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: I would say so, I would say so that things

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: have changed to Lena with and yes, we've had conversations

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: with James, good conversations, as I've mentioned before, and the

30
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: information that we're getting is that he is moving in

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: the direction of practicing today.

32
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: So this has been an ongoing process, Judy, going all

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: the way back to February and March, where we saw

34
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: all those deals the Bills got done with the likes

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: of Christian Benford and Greg Russo in the offseason, James Cook.

36
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 2: Was the priority. They couldn't get a deal done.

37
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: Then it's been this back and forth on and off

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: between Cook and the Bills. To me, just looking at

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: this from the outside in, this appears to be a

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: show of good faith from James Cook. I'll get back

41
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: on the field now, let's see if we can actually

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: bring this thing across the goal line.

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: I feel like the last few weeks with all of

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: these hold in and hold out situations where like reading

45
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: the tea leaves and trying to read body language. And

46
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 4: I think on this one, right, this is sort of

47
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: an incremental step in the right direction. Sean McDermott was

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 4: very careful to say, not to say that the hold

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: in is over right. They're not going to jump ahead here,

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: but he is practicing, which is a change. He was

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: not practicing for a while. Remember the game last weekend.

52
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: He dressed and then did not play in the game,

53
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: which caught some of them by surprise. So this seems

54
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: to at least be a little bit of a thaw

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: in where the relationship was just a few days ago.

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 2: And that's a good thing. They need him.

57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: He scored sixteen rushing touchdowns last season. This team is

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: ever so close to getting to the Super Bowl. They

59
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: need James Cook to be on the field. And I

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 4: know Tom, in the past you've reported they're not really

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 4: that far apart. So I mean, this certainly seems to

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: be on the James Cook side, maybe not extending the

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 4: olive branch, but at least stepping forward and trying to

64
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: meet the team halfway. As we get further into the preseason,

65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: and you get closer to the opener. All of these

66
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: teams that have these contract situations unresolved, you would think

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: they're going to want to start to wrap things up

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: now coming up in the next week to two weeks.

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: This James Cook situation is also unfolded in a rare

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: public fashion surrounding the bills. You have not had hold

71
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: ins since Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott got there. They've

72
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: not had things play out in the media. But of

73
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: course you had some comments back in the spring, and

74
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: negotiations did not go the way that James Cook wanted to.

75
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: He said at one point I want fifteen million dollars

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: per ye, which would put him in that rare air

77
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: with the likes of Christian McCaffrey and more recently Saquon

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Barkley and Derrick Henry on their extensions. My innerstanding is

79
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: at this point he's not asking for fifteen He's looking

80
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: at a number that is closer to Kyron Williams, who

81
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: just got done at eleven million dollars per year. It

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: would seem like that created an extremely clear baseline for

83
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: these negotiations here, but there's always a back and forth.

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: I have said it one hundred times.

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: I'll make it one hundred and one right here, Judy,

86
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: They're not that far apart. But there is no close.

87
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: There's only done, and this deal is not yet done.

88
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin and the Commanders, on the other hand, not

89
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: seemed all that close. In fact, have been on very

90
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: different pages throughout the offseason. Now we're putting this in

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: the hold in bucket, even though technically Terry McLaurin is

92
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: on the physically unable to perform list, had a real

93
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: ankle injury and the last season rehabited for a while.

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: That's what he's been doing.

95
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: But today, for the first time, he was at least

96
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: spotted on the field during in practice.

97
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: Here's what coach Dan Quinn had to say.

98
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 5: Look, you want everybody as to coach out on the

99
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 5: field at every practice, every game. I also know that that's

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 5: that's not reality either, and so I just try to

101
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 5: make sure a man like just keep pouring into the guys,

102
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 5: keep digging into it. But I know it is, you know,

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 5: part of our game where you know you don't have

104
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 5: everybody all the time. It does in some ways there's contingencies.

105
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: How do you work how he featured guys, and so

106
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 5: I was kind of referring to like debo maybe getting

107
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 5: more connection time to go. But as far as like

108
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 5: where I'm at, I also like, I'm aware things happen,

109
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 5: you know, and you adjust, and that's kind of what

110
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 5: coaching is, you know, and you don't have your full

111
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 5: roster all the time.

112
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Mike has ended his hold in from the show about

113
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: five minutes in here Mike, Terry McLaurin and the Commanders.

114
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: This one has also played up publicly. There's been a

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: recent trade request. It's obvious everybody acknowledges that Terry McLaurin

116
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: needs to get an upgrade on his contract, But there's

117
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: a difference between everyone acknowledging, Hey, he does deserves more money,

118
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: and how much more money that actually is?

119
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 6: Where do we stand right now? For what you understand

120
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 6: and w wasthed it? Yeah, I wasn't asking for more money.

121
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 6: I just went to a parking spot. Chris Brown, I'm

122
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 6: at Giants. Chris Brown's playing MetLife Stadium the night. Who

123
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 6: knew Chris Brown? Still a thing? All those people knew.

124
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 6: So if you sell a car driving over grass and

125
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 6: medians and curbs, you're probably cursing me out. I'm sorry,

126
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 6: I wasn't going where you're going. I'll make it up

127
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 6: to you have a spot for you in about fifty

128
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 6: four minutes. As for Terry McLaren, that conversation that he

129
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 6: had with Adam Peters on the field today at Camp,

130
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 6: a lot of folks said, oh, that's great.

131
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: Look at that. They're communicating. They've been communicating.

132
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 6: Let's not forget Terry McLaren hugged owner Josh Harris the

133
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 6: day that we were at camp there. This is not

134
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 6: something where they're just walking through the hallways and giving

135
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 6: each other dirty looks and obscene gestures. I mean, this

136
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 6: has been a professional thing the whole time. It's just business. Tom,

137
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 6: you talked about the numbers for James Cook. Terry McLaren

138
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 6: is looking at a wide receiver market that's up to

139
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 6: forty million dollars per year. He ain't looking for that,

140
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 6: I can promise you he's not looking for top of

141
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 6: the market. But he went somewhere a little bit lower

142
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 6: than that. We saw DK metcalf come in the mid thirties.

143
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 6: So Terry McLaurin looking for something more in that neighborhood.

144
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 6: Washington has been obviously well below that so this conversation, sure,

145
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: this is all good. His presence, it's all good. But

146
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 6: like you said, Tom, there is no close until this

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 6: thing gets done. And I don't get the sense that

148
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 6: they are close until this thing gets done.

149
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: We are not close.

150
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: This has been like the most respectful holdout hold in

151
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: I've ever seen. The reporters who were there at Commander's

152
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: practice today said that that conversation that we just saw

153
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: on tape there ended with the GM patting him on

154
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 4: the back. So that's how nice everybody's being. Fact of

155
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: the matter is they need Terry McLaurin. As the practice

156
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: today showed. They had like an intrasquad game Burgundy versus Gold,

157
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: and the reports from that game are that the defense,

158
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: the first team defense, completely shut out the first team offense.

159
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels could not get any going Jade and Daniels

160
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: apparently had one of his worst practices of the summer.

161
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: That is part of the problem that without Terry mcluurin,

162
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: there are other than Deepo Samuel, none of the other

163
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: wide receivers have really stepped forward to seize a big role.

164
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: So it's imperative that they get Terry McLaurin in He

165
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: is so important to Jade and Daniel's development and his

166
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: continued success. The fact that they are not close is

167
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: not great, but the fact that they have been so

168
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: respectful and so professional about this at least gives you

169
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: a hope that at some point they're going to be

170
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: able to have a meeting of the minds because it

171
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 4: hasn't splintered, that's for sure.

172
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: A decade ago, there was no such thing as a

173
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: hold in. Nobody did this. It's become more commonplace, but

174
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: you'd be hard pressed to find a lot of years

175
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: where you're sitting there August twelfth, left and four weeks

176
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: out from week one, and you got five of them.

177
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: At least. There's some other ones that are questionable. The

178
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: guys have real injuries. Are they choosing not to practice?

179
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: But James Cook, Terry mclaur and Michael Parsons, we'll talk

180
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: about that a little later on with Jane Slater. Trey

181
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: Henderson that one's been at a standoff since he reported

182
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: about a week INDO camp, and then Cam Hayward coming

183
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: out publicly yesterday and saying just one year after he

184
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: signed a new three year deal, he again wants his

185
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: contract upgraded. Here has not been fully participating through the

186
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: course of training camp. So five situations with five pretty

187
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: big name players to keep an eye on. No bigger

188
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: name right now in Green Bay than Jordan Love, who,

189
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: on this play right here where he kind of got

190
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: sandwiched in the preseason oper ended up suffering what was

191
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: described as.

192
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: A ligament issue in his thumb.

193
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: He is now set to go undergo surgery that happened

194
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: earlier on this morning. GM Brian Goodakoons doesn't sound all

195
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: that concern.

196
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 7: Jordan is having a little procedure done on his left

197
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 7: thumb that he heard in the game.

198
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: We'll put him out a little bit a while.

199
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 7: Hope I'm back at practice next week and shouldn't miss

200
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 7: any reglar season time.

201
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: The hope is the Jordan Love will be back on

202
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: the field in about a week or so. The hope

203
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: is that Matthew Stafford was going to only miss a

204
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: week or so at the start a Rams training camp.

205
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: Yet here we are still know Matthew Stafford on the field.

206
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: This situation ramping up and maybe cause a little more

207
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: concerned in the past few days given the fact that

208
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: Sean McVay had said over the weekend that Stafford went

209
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: through about a sixty five throw workout. Everything went well,

210
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: no restriction is going to be out there Monday to

211
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: individual drills, and then Monday came and went No Stafford.

212
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: Still no Stafford today, as we welcome in our Brian

213
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: Baldier to the conversation as well as Steve White. Steve,

214
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: you based out here. You spent a lot of time

215
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: around this team. The optics are one thing, but in

216
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: the building, what is the level of concern right now

217
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: in Stafford?

218
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 8: It doesn't seem like it's a ton of concern right now.

219
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 8: First off, the RAMS training staff is among the best

220
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 8: in the NFL, and these guys know Matthew Stafford. Sean

221
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 8: McVay is not a guy who operates out of urgency.

222
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: But that said, the RAMS aren't if they're not worried.

223
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 8: About Matthew Stafford. Possibly get in Week one, that's one thing,

224
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 8: but can he get through Week seventeen that's the other thing.

225
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 8: Let's not forget Matthew Stafford is thirty seven years old.

226
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: And Baldy, when I look at this, I just can't

227
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: think of how we.

228
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 8: Kind of downplayed matt Ryan at the end of his

229
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 8: career when he was around the same age with shoulder injuries,

230
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 8: Drew Brees the same, Aaron Rodgers the same look. As

231
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 8: you age, you don't heal as quickly or as strongly.

232
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 8: I think with Matthew Stafford, the issue, more so when

233
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 8: it comes to concern, is getting him through the season,

234
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 8: because this is a vastly different team with Matthew Stafford

235
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 8: and a healthy Matthew Stafford and not having him or

236
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 8: at least having him where he's actually capable and functioning

237
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 8: like Matthew Stafford.

238
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: So here's the big question here, Baldy, there's an unknown.

239
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: Of course, it's a low back issue. These can be unpredictable.

240
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: I speak on that from experience and not even play

241
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. In the world though, where Matthew

242
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Stafford is not ready to go, how big of a

243
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: drop off is it to the number two option, a

244
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: guy in Jimmy Garoppolo, who in a very similar system

245
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: we've seen play well enough to get to a Super Bowl.

246
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, Jimmy's got over sixty career starts, so

247
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 9: he started a game for the Rams a year ago.

248
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 9: At the end of the season. They're capable hands, but

249
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 9: there is no replacing matt Stafford in his arm and

250
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 9: his vision and how he sees the field and the

251
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 9: timing that he has with Puka and some of the

252
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 9: receivers is it's very rare. His anticipation they're throwing it

253
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 9: to a spot. I mean, he's rare. To Steve's point here,

254
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 9: I'm not concerned. I mean, anytime you have a disc injury,

255
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 9: you're concerned about the health of the player, like that's

256
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 9: not to be fooled around with him.

257
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 10: They're not.

258
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 9: But at the same time, this might almost be a

259
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 9: blessing and that it's all about getting this team to

260
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 9: the postseason. Stafford has played seven postseason games for the Rams.

261
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 9: They've got a Super Bowl, they won another one, and

262
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 9: so missing time right now isn't paramount. It's not urgent.

263
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 9: I believe that if he sat out up until September fifth,

264
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 9: he'd be ready to go against Buffalo, you know, in

265
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 9: that opening game of the season. And so just because

266
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 9: of his ability to see the field and make every throw,

267
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,239
Speaker 9: he can still do all of that. But Jimmy Garoppolo's

268
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 9: next guy up. Tom They'll ride Jimmy if there is

269
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 9: any issues this year. He's been really very healthy. Talking

270
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 9: about Stafford, very healthy the last two years, a lot

271
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 9: of playoff appearances, six playoff games the last two years,

272
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 9: and a Super Bowl. So he has figured out how

273
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 9: to manage the season. That's what they're trying to do

274
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 9: right now.

275
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: As Sean McVay said on Monday, when I asked about

276
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: the possibility surgery, that's not been any part of the conversation.

277
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: If some of this did become long term and the

278
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: coaches weren't comfortable with Jimmy Garoppolo, there is a guy

279
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: in Atlanta who's had some success playing this exact offense,

280
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: is currently making twenty seven point five million dollars as

281
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: a backup. We'll stay tuned on that. We are still

282
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: looking back here, Balty. We have not talked to you

283
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: since Week one of the preseason ended.

284
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: Here.

285
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: What's your biggest takeaway? What were you saying coming out

286
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: of that first week?

287
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 9: Well, you know, the team that I saw in my

288
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 9: training camp tour was and the best team I saw

289
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 9: was Baltimore. And when you watch Baltimore and you watch

290
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 9: him practice, and you know obviously Lamar and Derrick Henry

291
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 9: and you know all the big names, but this Mike Green,

292
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 9: the rookie Mike Green, Marshall, their second round pick who

293
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 9: fell to them because of some off the field issues

294
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,119
Speaker 9: in college.

295
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: I mean I watched him.

296
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 9: He played thirty three snaps in the opening preseason game,

297
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 9: and he threw every kind of pass rush move you

298
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 9: could throw at somebody. I saw five different moves like

299
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 9: he had no fear, Like this spin right there, obviously

300
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 9: against Ohio State was caught a lot of people's eyes.

301
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 9: But I saw him spin. I saw him speed, the power.

302
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 9: I saw him dip and rip, I saw him crosschop.

303
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 9: I mean, he was not afraid to throw his repertoire

304
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 9: in the preseason, and it caught my eye because he's

305
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 9: being coached by Chuck Smith, who's a great pass rush

306
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 9: specialist coach to begin with. He's in an organization that

307
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 9: recognizes what a true edge pass rusher looks like. They

308
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 9: led the league in sacks two years ago in this

309
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 9: type of defense. I just think that he's got a

310
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 9: very bright future. Sometimes it takes a rookie defensive lineman

311
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 9: a red shirt year to figure it out, but I'm

312
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 9: not going to be surprised if he has success this

313
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 9: year with his ability.

314
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: Right now, Baldy, I love you talking about edge. You guys.

315
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 8: That means I get to talk about offensive lineman. And

316
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 8: I want to go to the Minnesota Vikings because in

317
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 8: watching their preseason game, first off, JJ McCarthy coming back,

318
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 8: he looked very clean thirteen play opening drive.

319
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: In their series.

320
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 8: But let's go guard center guard all three new players,

321
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 8: right They've got Will Fryes, the rookie Donovan Scott and

322
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 8: then Ryan Kelly and Bawd. You know this, More and

323
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 8: more teams are building their team guard to guard guard

324
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 8: center guard, and they look real solid right there. So

325
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 8: that's a good thing for McCarthy. You're seeing it bouncing

326
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 8: it a little bit here, but this is going to

327
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 8: help their run game. This is going to stop some

328
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 8: those a gap blat a gap blitzes that teams like

329
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 8: to get through. And I also want to make a

330
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 8: note on the other side of the ball. One thing

331
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 8: the Vikings do well is they're undrafted free agent takes.

332
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 8: Elijah Williams upper ninety nine, the defensive tackle out of

333
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 8: Morgan State, the MIAC Defensive Player of the Year, showed

334
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 8: up two tackles, two quarterback hits, someone to keep an

335
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 8: eye on. To add to depth of a very strong

336
00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 8: defensive front.

337
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Hard Grave, Jonathan Allen together editions. They're trying to build it.

338
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: This is what they analyzed in the offseason was we

339
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: need to get bigger and more physical on the interior

340
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: of booth lines. There's been a lot of money to

341
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: do it. We'll see how that shakes. We get to

342
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: the real thing. Monday Night football in week one.

343
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: And half for the.

344
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 11: Giants back to throw Dart out of the shotgun, goes

345
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 11: to the left side, touchdown Giants, but.

346
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: Jordan Huckphrey pulling it in.

347
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 11: And Jackson dot Texas Steel on his big blue Korea

348
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 11: said hey, that's it.

349
00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: There's let's do it again. Go through first touch past

350
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: bringing down Darty. He love you all boys, now step stacking.

351
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: Here we go big.

352
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 4: All four Giants quarterbacks played last week and pretty good

353
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: outing by all of them. Of course, that is the past,

354
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 4: the touchdown pass that everybody is talking about Jackson Dart.

355
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: Here is Brian Dabele on his rookie quarterback.

356
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 12: Just to continue to improve, be some good learning experiences

357
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 12: like there for every practice or every preseason game, and

358
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 12: go out there and compete and you know, probably make

359
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 12: some mistakes, learn from them and continue to grow everything.

360
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 12: Every practice every preseason game, every joint practice is important,

361
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 12: particularly for a young quarterback.

362
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 4: Mike and Baldy join me, Judy Batista. All right, Mike,

363
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: you and I were out at the Giants a few times.

364
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 4: We know how excited they are about Russell Wilson and

365
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart. Russ is the current starter. Jackson Dart they

366
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 4: hope is the future starter. But they've got four guys

367
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: on the roster right now. How does all of this shakeout, Judy?

368
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 6: I mean, you're gonna have to make a tough decision

369
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 6: at some point if you're the Giants, because let's say

370
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 6: it's Tommy DeVito, who's fourth in the pecking order right now,

371
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 6: a guy that has won games for your franchise before.

372
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 6: I mean potentially, and there are teams with some quarterback

373
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 6: needs out there. This could be a cutdown day type

374
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 6: of thing, and maybe some kind of a pick swap

375
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 6: and you're getting some value. I know that there's been

376
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 6: people talking about Jamis, but I know they love what

377
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 6: Jamis brings to this building, what Jamis brings to that

378
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 6: quarterback room, So I just don't see them moving him

379
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 6: at that point.

380
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 2: So maybe you get.

381
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 6: Some value for DeVito, or maybe you've got to move

382
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 6: on from him, and he needs to get a fresh

383
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 6: start somewhere else.

384
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: But I know that when they're looking at Jackson Dart.

385
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 6: Right now and Jamis was listed as the two, could

386
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 6: Dart show them enough or has he showed them enough?

387
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 2: And can he continue to do that?

388
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 6: Baldy to say, this is a guy that you're confident

389
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 6: in as your number two, that if something happens to

390
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson early in the season, that you can go

391
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 6: right to Jackson Dart.

392
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: Can he show that.

393
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 6: He's able to run the operation as smoothly as he

394
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 6: did in Buffalo. He gonna be a challenge for him

395
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 6: the next couple of games here.

396
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 9: Well, he played thirty snaps Mike, and you know, obviously

397
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 9: in a second drive he threw the touchdown to little

398
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 9: Jordan Humphrey. It was a great throw and he got

399
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 9: hit on the play. He stood tall in the pocket,

400
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 9: took the hit. I don't even think he saw the

401
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 9: completion he was on the ground. However, he did a

402
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 9: great job of taking care of the ball, protecting the

403
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 9: ball under pressure, navigating the pocket for some scrambles, led

404
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 9: the team in rushing with three scrambles. He did a

405
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 9: lot of good things, and so you know what Mike

406
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 9: said in what Brian Dables said was, you know, continue

407
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 9: to improve. Everybody wants to see him this weekend. I'm

408
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 9: going to see himorrow morning with a scrimmage to the Jets.

409
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 9: I'm looking forward to seeing just how he practices, if

410
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 9: some of the things we saw on tape this weekend

411
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 9: carry over to the practice field and then carry over

412
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 9: to the preseason game against the Jets. But there's a

413
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 9: lot of optimism because of all the little things that

414
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 9: he did, protecting the ball, navigating the pocket, not taking

415
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 9: off when protection broke down a little bit.

416
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: I thought it was really.

417
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 9: Really a clean game on his part and a reason

418
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 9: why I think every Giant fan is excited at this point.

419
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 9: And the fact that he broke the team down one, two, three,

420
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 9: Go Blue. I mean, that's got to be a good

421
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 9: feeling right there in that locker room amongst a lot

422
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 9: of veteran players.

423
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 4: All Right, the Giants and Jets are actually having joint practices.

424
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 4: They had one today, they will have one tomorrow, and

425
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 4: then of course they play the Giants Jets game this weekend.

426
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: So let's talk about the Jets.

427
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: They have a new quarterback too, and he did pretty

428
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 4: well in week one. Also Justin Fields. Here's Aaron Glenn

429
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: on his quarterback.

430
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 13: It seemed like I keep telling you guys the same

431
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 13: thing every day about who he is. He's a mature

432
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 13: man and the outside noise does not bother him. And

433
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 13: I don't know how many times I got to say this,

434
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 13: but it's not going to change with him. He's going

435
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 13: to continue to get better and better and better and

436
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 13: not allow anything on the outside to bother him and

437
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 13: just do his job and keep improving.

438
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 10: Man, those are.

439
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 13: Like, really some trace that I liked about him, that

440
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 13: he's just unphased and he's always.

441
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 4: Here, all right, Pauldi, you and I were out there

442
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: back together weekend at the Jets, so we got an

443
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 4: early glimpse of Justin Fields. Where were your impressions of

444
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: how he and the offense operated this weekend?

445
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: Well?

446
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 9: The offensive line played well. Joe Tipman played left guard

447
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 9: for John Simpson. He played very well. Armand Membu the

448
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 9: rookie played very well. They ran the ball very well

449
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 9: this past weekend, and Justin Fields was a benefactor of

450
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 9: all of that.

451
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: They protected him very well up front.

452
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 9: Right here, he took what the defense gave him up

453
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 9: in lambeau Field finished the drive off with this scramble

454
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 9: right here of thirteen yards for a touchdown. AG knows

455
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 9: coach Aaron Glenn knows that he could do this. He

456
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 9: did this as the Chicago Bear against the Lions quite

457
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 9: a bit. But I thought he saw the field very well.

458
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 9: He took what the defense gave him. It was a

459
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 9: very productive opening drive there, and I thought the offensive

460
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 9: line really played well as a group. And you could

461
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 9: see that right side of Ali Vera Tucker along with

462
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 9: armand Membu. You can see the development and the timing

463
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 9: between those two players right there. And then you know,

464
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 9: Josh Myers is a competition at center right now. Josh

465
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 9: looked very good. He was former Green Bay Packers starting center.

466
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 9: He was in there this weekend. But I thought the

467
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 9: group played real well, including the tight ends. And so

468
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 9: that's promising right now because if they can run the

469
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 9: ball the way they want to with three good backs,

470
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 9: I think that they've got the potential being a really

471
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 9: good offense.

472
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, and if he continues to play well in the preseason,

473
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 6: he'll get his confidence up. Their confidence in him. You

474
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 6: heard Eron Glenn talk about that they have a similar

475
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 6: disposition Aaron Glenn and Justin Field. Glenn probably a little

476
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 6: bit more fiery, right, and he comes from that defensive

477
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 6: my frame. But this is a good match and they

478
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 6: felt like that. This has been a good match this

479
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 6: entire offseason and into the summer between these two guys,

480
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 6: and they knew each other well. I mean, Aaron Glenn

481
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 6: a game planned against Justin Field, so he knew what

482
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 6: he could bring. And I agree with that, and I

483
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 6: know that they feel that about Fields is that he's

484
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 6: unwavering and he's confident in himself. Like you can have

485
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 6: your criticisms about Justin Fields maybe not playing up to

486
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 6: his draft potential over this first portion of his career,

487
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 6: but it's not because he melted. It's not because of

488
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: a lack of confidence. It's not because he can't handle

489
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 6: being a starting quarterback mentally in the NFL.

490
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: He can. And that's why they.

491
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 6: Feel like they've got a good base to work with.

492
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 6: And all these stops that he's made along the way,

493
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 6: I mean a.

494
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 10: Couple of stops.

495
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 6: There's my two stops along the way have only prepared

496
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 6: him for right now and what he is going to

497
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 6: be for the Jets. They feel good about their starting

498
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 6: quarterback right now and his performance in Week one of

499
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 6: the preseasons.

500
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 4: Cemented that I agree, Aaron Glenn has been high on

501
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: Justin Fields really since they got Fields into the building.

502
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: Mike Baldi, thank you very much. I know you guys

503
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: will both be back.

504
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 4: And when we are back, did you hear that Shador

505
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 4: Sanders had a really good NFL debut where you're going

506
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 4: to hear even more of it, and then Michael.

507
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 2: F Florio is going to join us.

508
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,280

517
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 6: Browns fans, if you want to see Chador Sanders this preseason,

518
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 6: maybe the regular season. The way that he's playing, I

519
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 6: wouldn't say necessarily Week one, but certainly an impressive debut

520
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 6: for Sanders week one of the preseason, and even Miles

521
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 6: Garrett was impressed.

522
00:24:52,560 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 14: I want to feel one of those swipes though, one

523
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 14: of his aggressive, like you know grabs. I want to

524
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 14: just see if I can get out of it.

525
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 3: Du you a good kid. I don't want to hurt you.

526
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 6: Can't put your teammates in the in the graveyard there, Miles,

527
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 6: trust me, he's impressed. Michael f Florio, I'm always impressed

528
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 6: with you, and it is time for Week one overreaction. Wait,

529
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 6: and that's supposed to wait till Week one of the

530
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 6: regular season. Well, I guess we can do that in

531
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 6: the preseason as well. Some folks already overreacting against they're

532
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 6: getting ready for their fantasy drafts. A lot of folks said,

533
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 6: Ashton Genty going to hit the ground running in the NFL.

534
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 6: Wait a second, am I overreacting to say he should

535
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 6: be lowered on some draft boards because of his Week

536
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 6: one preseason performance.

537
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 10: Ashton Genty right now is free falling faster than my

538
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 10: Mets because everyone knows that three preseason calgories matters more

539
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 10: than running for twenty seven hundred yards and thirty touchdowns

540
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 10: in college, breaking the PFF mistackle sports record, and being

541
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 10: the sixth overall pick right like, it's a huge overreaction.

542
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 10: It is three carries, who cares. No one is going

543
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 10: to remember this a week from now, let alone when

544
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 10: week one of the regular season hits. But people are

545
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 10: wondering where to draft ash and gent and I think

546
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 10: he is a good target in the second round. He

547
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 10: is going to be the focal point of this offense.

548
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 10: Pete Carroll loves to feed his RB one during his

549
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 10: heyday in Seattle when the Seahawks were at their best,

550
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 10: the Seahawks routinely were top three in rushing attempts. Chip

551
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 10: Kelly runs the ball a lot. He is my RB eight,

552
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 10: fine second round pick. But Traveon Henderson he is climbing

553
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 10: up draft boards for me. I love Traveon Henderson. I

554
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 10: will keep saying it. It's like he was built in

555
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 10: a lab to succeed for fantasy football purposes. He has

556
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 10: the elusiveness and the high end speed for plenty of

557
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 10: big plays. Strong pass blocker will get him on the

558
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 10: field in passing downs. Good receiver that should lead to

559
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 10: plenty of PPR points. And he is on Mike Rabral's offense.

560
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 10: Those teams have never ranked worse than eleventh in rushing

561
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 10: attempts in Rabel's entire time as a head coach. He

562
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 10: will be my most drafted running back this summer. I

563
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 10: have him ranked at RB fifteen and I'm considering bumping

564
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 10: him up. But I'm already the high guy on Trevion Henderson.

565
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 10: You saw why last Friday. Make sure to target him

566
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 10: in the middle rounds of your fantasy drafts this summer.

567
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 6: Rimandre s Davis has still there expected to see the football.

568
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 6: But yeah, I understand your optimism on Henderson after his

569
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 6: Week one performance. I was in Baltimore for the Colts

570
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 6: Ravens game and I saw Tyler Warren catch three balls

571
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 6: for forty yards, and I said, you know what size

572
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 6: jacket is? He start fitting them for Cannon Ken overreaction

573
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 6: or not that he's the next great tight end.

574
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 10: I was in Canton this past weekend. I think they

575
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 10: were already sizing it up for him. Yeah, I don't

576
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 10: think this is an overreaction at all. I love Tyler

577
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 10: Warren heading into this season. It didn't matter who was

578
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 10: in at quarterback on Thursday, he was the top target

579
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 10: and I think that could be the case when the

580
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 10: season starts, because Warren is a huge target who can

581
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 10: operate well in the middle of the field and is

582
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 10: a yak monster. And that matters because both Colts quarterbacks,

583
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 10: statistically in their career are at their best when they

584
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 10: are targeting the middle of the field. He is my

585
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 10: tight end six, and I think he continues this run

586
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 10: of great rookie tight ends for fantasies we've seen in

587
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 10: recent years Kyle Pitts, Sam Laporter, Brock Bauers, Tyler Warren,

588
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 10: and then cam Ward Right the least talked about number

589
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 10: one overall pick in sports history. He looks good, but

590
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 10: making him a QB one in fantasy would be a

591
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 10: big overreaction. Look. I know he's got a strong arm.

592
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 10: He could run a bit. He's not going to run

593
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 10: enough to become a fantasy QB one like Jayden Daniels

594
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 10: or bow Knicks did last year. I still have him

595
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 10: as a QB two, a low end one at that,

596
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 10: but there is upsid here and what I love more

597
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 10: than anything, he is going to help elevate the Titans

598
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 10: pass catchers. He was targeting Calvin Ridley early. Calvin Ridley,

599
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 10: I have him as a top twenty wide receiver even

600
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 10: though he's being drafted closer to thirty. And then Chig Aquonco,

601
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 10: the big talented tight end there. He is a sleeper

602
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 10: in this offense as well. So cam Ward means good

603
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 10: things for all those Titan pass catchers.

604
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, last year, Michael f Florio, you helped me draft

605
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 6: my team, which, by the way, I think I may

606
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 6: need you to do again. We're Friday, I'm ready night

607
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 6: at seven o'clock Eastern. I think we have a show,

608
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 6: so we may do it live again. But we hit

609
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 6: on Jaydon Daniels last year, so you can hit on

610
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 6: a rookie and he can carry your team if you

611
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 6: get it right, and Michael left Floria often gets it right.

612
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:35,520

Speaker 1: that they were able to get Milton away from the

623
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: New England Patriots seventeen of twenty nine, a touchdown, an

624
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: interception and a stake to the claim of being the

625
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: number two quarterback.

626
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 15: Perhaps, I think you know our plan all along has

627
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 15: been that we need to find out about Joe Milton.

628
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 15: And again, under no circumstance do I am I panicked

629
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 15: or worried about Joe Milton. Joe Milton played really well

630
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 15: in the second half. He did some really good things.

631
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 15: He calmed down, he figured it out. But I'd be

632
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 15: crazy if I didn't say to you how impressed them

633
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 15: with Will Greer. I mean, all the guy does is

634
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 15: when given opportunities, And like I said, we communicate very

635
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 15: clearly with our players. So like the scrimmage against the Rams,

636
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 15: we told them, hey, man, bunch, you drink some water

637
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 15: and hang out, and next thing you know, he's in

638
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 15: the game.

639
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders, presented by Santa Tom Pelliserra

640
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles, joined now by Jane Slater Jay

641
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: And this is the first time in a number of years,

642
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys haven't had one of the more stable backup

643
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: quarterback situations in the NFL, with Cooper Rush having been

644
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: there and answered when called upon when Dak Prescott has

645
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: been hurt basia what you saw from Joe Milton to

646
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: what you're hearing right now, where do we stand in

647
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: terms of the backup plan behind Deck?

648
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: I think it's still to be determined.

649
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 16: Brian Schottenheimer was asked this week if he was going

650
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 16: to start this weekend who his backups were, and Shoddy

651
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 16: essentially said that he doesn't feel pressed to make that

652
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 16: decision right now.

653
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to.

654
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 16: What they're trying to do with the preseason is a

655
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 16: true evaluation of their quarterback situation. If you think about it, Tom,

656
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 16: you know you have OTAs with Will Greer and of

657
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 16: course Joe Milton, but you don't have a lot of

658
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 16: live action.

659
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: So that's why you're getting him in the preseason now.

660
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 16: Shoddy also pointed out he had his fastball, but at

661
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 16: times he needs to change it up.

662
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: That's what we've seen in the times.

663
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 16: I've been at camp, when I've looked at some of

664
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 16: these videos at some of the beat guys have put

665
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 16: out he's got an arm.

666
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: I mean it's a cannon.

667
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 16: I don't think I can say on air what it's

668
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 16: a golf term that Schottenheimer used to describe it last week.

669
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 16: I'll start it with a P missile. How's that that works?

670
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 16: So if you're familiar with the term and golf. But

671
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 16: the issue at times has been there, you go. The

672
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 16: issue at times has been his accuracy, and so I

673
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 16: think they liked that he just settled in a bit.

674
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: He looked better towards the end.

675
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 16: But why are we talking importance of a backup quarterback? Well,

676
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 16: thanks to our research department, I had him look this up.

677
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 16: Nine teams had a backup QB as their starter by

678
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 16: the end of the season, and almost half of the

679
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 16: league had their backup start a game at some point

680
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 16: during the season. And we have certainly seen in Dallas

681
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 16: Dak Prescott with some of his injuries, but also Dak

682
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 16: Prescott in his rookie campaign that twenty sixteen year. The

683
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 16: Cowboys saw Tony Rummel get injured and then Kellen wore

684
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 16: and then obviously that led to the ascension of Dak Prescott.

685
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 16: So a backup quarterback in the absence of someone that

686
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 16: Cooper Rush, who has been so reliable for them had been.

687
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 16: It's important to figure out who your backup guy is,

688
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 16: and that's why we're talking about him here on The Insiders, Tom, you.

689
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: Know, the backup quarterback.

690
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: When we're talking about that with the Cowboys, that means

691
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of other issues, but they do

692
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: have one kind of big one here, and that is

693
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, who still is not practicing, has been on

694
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: and off the field because of supposed back soreness. Clearly,

695
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: he has made abundantly clear that he is not happy

696
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: with where things are at from a contract negotiation standpoint,

697
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: something that owner Jerry Jones has kind of danced around,

698
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: including last night at his Netflix documentary premiere.

699
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: You have bigger risk to paint or trade Figer. You

700
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: talk about risk, You know about risks. As far as

701
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 2: it is today, you've.

702
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 15: Got all of outs.

703
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: So there's Jerry.

704
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: We have not really heard anything direct at this point,

705
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: Jane in terms of the Cowboys even being willing to

706
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: consider trade talks. We know Jerry has tamped all of

707
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: it down. Where do we stand right now from the

708
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: team's respectives, well with Mike's perspective about the lack of

709
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: really even communication in terms of trying to get an

710
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: extension done.

711
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 2: You know, this trade talks interesting.

712
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 16: You and I have talked about this offline over the

713
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 16: last two years Micah, about Micah and this possibility of trade.

714
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 16: In other words, there were whispers of it, but Jerry

715
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 16: was the one to shoot it down. And why was

716
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 16: MICA's name getting tossed around. Well, he's probably their best

717
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 16: player that they've had in a He's a generational player,

718
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 16: and if you're kind of resetting the team as they

719
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 16: did with Shotenheimer and some of the moves that they've

720
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 16: made in the off season, he'd make a lot of sense.

721
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you could get a generational haul for him.

722
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 16: So trading him now doesn't make a lot of sense, Tom,

723
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 16: And that's because the Cowboys still have the rights to

724
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 16: his contract. He has one more year. They have two

725
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 16: franchise tags that they can use. Micah is saying and

726
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 16: maintains that he has a back issue.

727
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: So that's why we haven't seen him at practice. It

728
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: hasn't been a hold.

729
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 16: In so to speak, but the body language on the

730
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 16: sidelines you can tell it's he's getting frustrated. I think

731
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 16: more than anything, both sides are shocked, quite frankly, that

732
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 16: it's gotten to this point. If you listen to these

733
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 16: guys talk about their relationship throughout the last two years.

734
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 16: You know, I had Micah Parsons talking about me and

735
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 16: in his box the Super Bowl and bragg that he

736
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 16: had Jerry Jones's cell phone number, and Jerry bragging that

737
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 16: he's one of the few players that had the cell

738
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 16: phone number. So the question is, why can't you just

739
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 16: work this thing out? I still maintain we've got August

740
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 16: nineteenth to circle. That's when the Gambler comes out. That'd

741
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 16: be really good press buzz for the Netflix. And if

742
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 16: you laugh at that notion and the possibility of that,

743
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 16: all I have to tell you is he essentially said

744
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 16: what he has told us for years.

745
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: This is not me being tongue in cheek.

746
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 16: He will tell you when there's not something to talk

747
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 16: about with the Cowboys, he will find you something. It

748
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 16: is a soap opera around here, and so I think

749
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 16: it is very possible that we could still see that.

750
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 16: Keep in mind Seedee Lamb August twenty seventh, that got done,

751
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 16: and it was September tenth for Dak Prescott. So I

752
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 16: am still not pressed about this, and I find it

753
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 16: hard to believe that Micah would want to miss a

754
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 16: game check.

755
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 6: I was at the premiere last night for that Netflix

756
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 6: documentary that dropped next Tuesday, was in Hollywood. Jerry talked

757
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 6: a lot about, and it's in the documentary, about how

758
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 6: much he values the marketing and the salesmanship of this.

759
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 6: So on some level, you don't have to pay in Jerry.

760
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 6: Right now you can make an objective argument that he

761
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 6: has the least interesting team, even within his own division.

762
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 6: Let's see what the next do twenty three days or

763
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 6: so bring before that season opener.

764
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: Jane, thank you very much.

765
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll be talking with you about this more

766
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: again soon. Let's keep talking about Tyler Shock, who had

767
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: a bit of a roller coaster debut as the Saints

768
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: at this time number two quarterback, the rookie second round pick,

769
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: throwing that ugly pick six, and then coming back with

770
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: this one, the deep shot.

771
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 2: That's what they're looking for.

772
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: Kellen Morris expressed that he was very pleased with how

773
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: Tyler Schuck bounced back from that early mistake on a

774
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: throw that Chuck said himself, he's.

775
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: Still make nine times out of ten.

776
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes the defensive player makes the play, as we welcome

777
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: our Steve Whites. Back to the conversation Steve, when I

778
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: was at Saints camp a week ago and get in

779
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: this game, it was Spencer Ratler the first time out,

780
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: but you got to think the time is coming here

781
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: to roll out Tyler Shock. Let him go with the

782
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: ones or what's available to them of the ones, give

783
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: him an opportunity that since Draft day has seemed like

784
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: it's sooner than.

785
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: Last I totally agree with you, Tom.

786
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 8: I mean, frankly, you look at the Saints roster and

787
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 8: this is a veteran laden roster that's really built to

788
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 8: get after it this year, and so, frankly, I think

789
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 8: they should trade for Jamis Winston with a Giants who

790
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 8: maybe the odd man out with the sension to Jackson

791
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 8: Dart on that roster. However, let's go back to the

792
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 8: current roster and tylership.

793
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 2: We talked about the.

794
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 8: Amount of time he played in week one. He didn't start,

795
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 8: but he got more and more reps, right, so he

796
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 8: saw some things with some defenses, He got into the

797
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 8: flow of the game, he got better as the game

798
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 8: went a long time. So I think they're gonna keep

799
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 8: on ramping it up. They've got a joint practice this

800
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 8: week with the Rams before they get into this weekend's

801
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 8: preseason game.

802
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 10: We'll see what the.

803
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: Reps look like.

804
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 8: But again, I think with Shuck getting more and more

805
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 8: of them, he's going to get better.

806
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: The roster is built to win this year. After this year,

807
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 2: it could be.

808
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 8: Complete resets of getting Shuck started out as TV can play.

809
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 8: That might be the best Courseback and los Als remembered

810
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 8: a couple of months he turns twenty six years old.

811
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: He spent seven years in college football. Usually they call

812
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: those people doctors. In this case, we call him quite

813
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: possibly a rookie starting quarterback for the Saints.

814
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Insiders, presented by SATFA Our buddy

815
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 4: Chad Ryter doled out some rookie grades coming out of

816
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 4: Week one game. We were just talking about Ty Warren.

817
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 4: Not a surprise that he got an A. Chad gave

818
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 4: Shador a B plus, which I think is actually a

819
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 4: higher grade than Shador gave himself. Schmar Stewart, who held

820
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 4: out of the early part of camp, got a C plus.

821
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 4: But you know what, it's time to talk about rookies

822
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 4: who could use a well rested win. It's time for

823
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 4: well rested wins, presented by SATFA. I'm joined by Steve

824
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: and Baldy. All right, Steve, let's start with you. What

825
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 4: rookie in week two could use a well rested win.

826
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 8: A rookie hooper form well in week one, and that's

827
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 8: Carolina Panthers wide receiver tenor Roland McMillan. He had two

828
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 8: catches for forty three yards, including a thirty yarder, but

829
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 8: he ever looked a part of the eighth overall pick.

830
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 8: You see over the shoulder with the boundary give him

831
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 8: a tight window on a great throw. And then here

832
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 8: I think if he continues to grow, they're playing the Texans,

833
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 8: so they got joint practices. He's going up against Derek

834
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 8: Stingley and Petrie and these guys this week to help

835
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 8: him get better. He's somebody in the week two who's

836
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 8: going to continue to elevate and help out that offense.

837
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 9: Well, Steve, the guy that was picked right before t

838
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 9: Mac was armand Membu at a Missouri by the New

839
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 9: York Jets, and he played very well in his debut

840
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 9: this past weekend against Green Bay. You know, we knew

841
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 9: he was a powerful run blocker, and then you know,

842
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 9: he got working on his pass sets there a little bit,

843
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 9: so he got his feet wet at lambeau Field against

844
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 9: Rashan Gary, some really good players. He went toe to

845
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 9: toe with some good players, a pro bowler in Rashan Gary.

846
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 2: But I'm really excited to.

847
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 9: See him in tomorrow's scrimmage against the New York Giants,

848
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 9: and see him against Kavon, to see him against Bernsey,

849
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 9: to see him against Abdul Carter. He'll probably see all

850
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 9: those guys in the scrimmage and then maybe the game

851
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 9: as well, so he'll get well tested against the Giants

852
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 9: and some of the guys that will be coming off

853
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 9: the edge for them. I want to see how he

854
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 9: stands up and holds up against some elite pass rushers.

855
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 4: All right, Steve Baldy, you guys deserve well rusted wins.

856
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 2: Thank you both.

857

Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns were called brown, but they got orange helmets.

876
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 2: Of course, you got the bird to orange in Texas.

877
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: You get the point. Everybody's going orange for Taylor Swift. Yes,

Speaker 1: we got it. We got a controller of a lot

879
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: of people. Yep, it's a lot. It's all the social media.

880
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: Everything you see, it's all orange. And in honor of

881
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: that Judy, none of us wore orange.

882
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 4: I just was thinking that that I actually have an

883
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 4: orange jacket I could have put on anyway. I am

884
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 4: very excited about this. I read something that the most

885
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 4: listened to podcast episode in history is one hundred and

886
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 4: forty four million views on YouTube. And the question is

887
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 4: ken NFL fans and Swifty's break that on New Heights.

888
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: Next, what's the one mark four millions?

889
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 9: Mike?

890
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 2: Do you know? No idea? What is it? What's the

891
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty four million?

892
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 4: I think it was something like how to succeed in relationships.

893
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 4: It was something that was done in Arabic and English. Okay,

894
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 4: not as good as Taylor smell does not, so I

895
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 4: get asked so terrible. You can ask Ai that these

896
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 4: days you don't have to listen to a whole podcast.

897
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 6: They can deal with that.

898
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: It's I'm a huge Flyers fan. They popped up on Instagram.

899
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 6: They had an orange jersey with sparkles on it.

900
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: I didn't understand it. I just figured out what it's about.

901
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: I had no idea. I'm letting in on the joke.

902
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 2: So you learn things when you watch the inside it.

903
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: And here we thought that this storyline was going to

904
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: stop in twenty twenty three.

905
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: You grabs the.

906
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: Taylor and I guess Travis forgetting her on the podcast.

907
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: All right, we're back tomorrow. Send me of Eastern time.

908
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 2: See you, everybody
