1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: It was up everybody. I'm Will Sullivan. These are your

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: good morning football headlines from NFL Network. We're going to

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: start off with the latest from the end Rogers situation.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: So to recap, the reigning MVP skipped teams organized team

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: activities for the first time in his career. We're fitting

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: at half a million dollar workout bowing us. Then last week,

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: Rogers missed a mandatory three day minicamp and is subject

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: to a ninety three thousand dollars fine. And Aaron is

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: preparing for his golf match with Tom Brady and some

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: pro golfers next month, and did an interview to promote

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: the event. Jokingly said it's been relatively low key for

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: him since the end of last season. It's been one

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: of those quiet off seasons to just dream about where

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: you can just kind of go through your process on

15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: your own quietly, and you know, that's all you can

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: ask for as an older player in the league and

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: someone who's been around for a long time and just

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: enjoys that time to yourself, to just relaxed, to not

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: be bothered, to not have any obligations or anything going on.

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's what this op seasons been about.

21
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: It been about really enjoying my time and spending it

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: where I want to spend it and not feeling like

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: an appod anywhere, not having any responsibilities, but still being

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: an NFL player at the same time. It's been great.

25
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: The Pack, by the way, open training camp July twenty seventh,

26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: So we're going to continue tracking this for you. Obviously,

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: staying in the NFC North is a totally different quarterback dynamic.

28
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: Even though Chicago traded up in the first round of

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,639
Speaker 1: draft justin Fields, Bear's head coach Matt Nagie, who recently

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: appeared on the Chris Collins Word podcast, stated Andy Dalton

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: is the starter and quote, we're going to stick to

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: this plan. There are high expectations down in Atlanta for

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, who is entering his sports season now that

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: Julio Jones has been traded to Tennessee. The twenty six

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: year old was asked if he feels pressure being the

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: number one receiver for the Falcons. No, no fresh, no fresh,

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: no fresh it at all. Just seeing Julio, you know,

38
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: some games coming to stadium, just getting here, a bunch

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: of energies and just the try to outdo him. I

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: used to. I used to literally try to outdo him,

41
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, when I was on the team, when he

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: was on the team, and I felt like that kept

43
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: me just hungry every day every league. And I mean,

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm gonna figure somebody. I'm gonna find somebody

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: on the team that I can outdo every week. And

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: who's you know, plays at a high level like Matt

47
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: Ryan maybe you know what I'm saying, And uh, just

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, compete with him in my own head and

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: uh and I think that it helped Really's former QB

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: when they were teammates at the University of Alabama to

51
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: A Tanabaaaloa had a rough practice Tuesday. How rough you ask? Well,

52
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: the second year signal caller through five techs, but when

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: he met with the media afterwards, he wasn't down about

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: the performance. That's just been the emphasis for us coming

55
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: out to this first day of mini camp was just

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: to be aggressive, push the ball down field. No, obviously

57
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: you want to be smart, but you know, if if

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: there's time, if there's a time to make mistakes, now's

59
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: the time to make mistakes. And you know, we're just

60
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: trying to see what we can fit in the hole.

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: What we can grow within coverages, you know, and I'm

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: in the film room and then learn from it. Even

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: though Steelers start offended, DJ Watt led the NFL and

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: sacks with fifteen last season. He finished second in the

65
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year vote. During his media availability Tuesday,

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: what was asked if losing the award to the Rams

67
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is a driving force and his training for

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I don't think it's driving me. I

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: think more than anything, I just want to be the

70
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: best possible player that I can be, not only for

71
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: myself for the Bisburgh Steelers. I want to continue to

72
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: make splash plays. I think the big thing for me

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: is just noticing all the plays that I didn't make

74
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: last year, and the pushing that I could have converted

75
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: on some force fumbles and phone up coverages and turnovers

76
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: and sacks and all those types of TfL those splash

77
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: plays that we talked about. Is, Yeah, there's a lot

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: of good from last year, but there's also a lot

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: of stuff that I want to continue to improve on.

80
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: The Raiders are embarking on their second season in Las Vegas,

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: and quarterback Derek Carr is committed to leading the Silver

82
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: and Black back to prominence. He threw for a career

83
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: high forty one hundred yards last season. It wants to

84
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: improve upon those stats this year. Card is happy being

85
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: a raider and says he can't envision himself playing for

86
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: another organization. People can say whatever they want. I know

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: what I've to fail them and know the things that

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: I've been able to accomplish, and I still want more.

89
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: There's still more, and I want to do it here.

90
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it anywhere else. I've said

91
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: it over and over again. High I probably quit football

92
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: if I haven't played for somebody else. You know, I

93
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: am a raider for my entire life. For other people,

94
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: they want to do other things. That's great, that's come

95
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: to them. But for me, I'd rather I'd rather go

96
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: down with the ship, you know what I'm saying. If

97
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: I have to. Hey For analysis on all the Mini
