1
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: It's been a bumpy flight for Micah Parsons and the Cowboys,

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: and so Micah is catching the next plain out of Dallas,

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: not for the reason you think, at least not yet.

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Our Jane Slater will be here with all the details

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: on exactly what comes next. The Commanders were a surprise

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: team a year ago, making a run all the way

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship Game, so who could repeat that

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: type of feat in twenty twenty five. Our experts have

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: some predictions as the regular season of Fast approaches. Biby

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has a prediction too. The Saints would sure

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: be a surprise pick. The future Hall of Famer joins

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: the show tonight, and just like Breeze in his prime,

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: we play bigger than we actually are. Welcome inside with

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: the insiders alongside in Rapaport, Judy Battista and Mike Garafolo.

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: I am Tom Pelisero.

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: We are now just eight days away from kickoff between

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Cowboys. Right now as we stand

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: seven oh one Eastern, Michael Parsons is a member of

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. But we do have some other news

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: on the trade front. That is where we begin tonight.

21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: With the Vikings bringing home one of their own. Minnesota

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: native Adam Feelin, headed back to the Vikings as part

23
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: of a trade with the Carolina Panthers that had been

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: brewing for the past couple of weeks. Feeling expected to

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: take a modest pay cut to help facilitate this deal.

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: It took a while, though ian for Feeling to get

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: his wish. How and why did it get done this morning?

28
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: A lot of patients on both sides. Time is really

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: what it took to get this deal to happen.

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: And look, this one made sense for all sides, right,

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: it really did, bringing Adam Feeling back to the Minnesota Vikings.

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: Were still got so many good feelings. Still knows exactly

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: what they're doing, still got a lot of legs left.

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: This one made the most sensient, you know. Look for Carolina,

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: they needed to get value. They just had two general

36
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: managers that knew the value of the deal and really

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: didn't move for several days. They kept talking, they kept

38
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: working at it, they kept at it, and in the end,

39
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: Adam Thielen goes from the Panthers to the Vikings in

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: exchange for what amounts to a fourth round pick. It's

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: actually a fifth round or a future fourth, and then

42
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: going back it's a seventh in a future five. It

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: all combines for a fourth round value that's about right.

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: It helps the Minnesota make up for the loss of Jordan.

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: Addison early and sets us up for an exceptionally cool

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: story with one of the most loved Vikings in recent

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: years heading back to his hometown.

48
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 5: Well, for the Carolina Panthers, this means the start of

49
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 5: a youth movement. Five of their six wide receivers are

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: in their first or second year. They've used first round

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 5: draft picks on wide receivers each of the last two seasons.

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 5: So Adam Feelen was going to be the old man.

53
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: He was going to probably be the fourth receiver. His

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 5: role had been diminished as they were getting younger and younger.

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 5: The idea in Carolina was that they wanted young receivers

56
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 5: to grow with Bryce young the quarterback.

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 6: Adam Feelin was there to be the older.

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 5: Statesman to help him get acclimated to the NFL now

59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 5: that he has found his footing. They want the young

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: receivers to grow with their young quarterback, and that is

61
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 5: how they're going to go forward in Carolina.

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, up there in Minnesota you have with Dream Ronde Moore.

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Now the injury to Jalen Naylor.

64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 7: Jalen Naylor, Yeah, I said that right, and also the

65
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 7: Jordan Adison suspension.

66
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 6: To start the season, you just.

67
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 7: Needed guys like you need JJ McCarthy to get off

68
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 7: to a great start. So you bring in Adam Thielen,

69
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 7: who knows the offense, who is certainly going to be

70
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 7: able to catch up quickly and be a guy that

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 7: can be relied upon, and get JJ McCarthy feeling pretty good.

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 7: He didn't have a rookie season pretty much, So now

73
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 7: you add a proven veteran to the mix, and when

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 7: you get Addison back, and when Naylor's healthy, you get

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 7: all these guys around him. Now you got even more targets.

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 7: So it's not even just about the start of the season.

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 7: It's about running the whole way through this with this

78
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 7: wide receiver group, and arguably now one, two three, when

79
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 7: they're all back and working together, I don't know that

80
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 7: there is a much better bunch that you've got around

81
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 7: the league. And I know some fandom a team out

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 7: there is complaining right now, but they're up there. They're

83
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 7: one of the top receiving Corps because Ian's right, Adam

84
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 7: Thinland does have good football left in the Vikings agree.

85
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: At daily course from Minnesota attending college at Minnesota State.

86
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Still works out up here in the off season where

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: he threw with JJ McCarthy.

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: Over the last couple of summers.

89
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: So some familiarity not just with the offense but the

90
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: quarterback who's now going to be getting him the ball.

91
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: You mentioned Jordan Adison serving a three game suspension to

92
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: start the season. The Chiefs finally know when their top

93
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: receiver is going to be serving his own. Rashi Rice

94
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: earlier today officially accepting and now will serve a six

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: game suspension to start the twenty twenty five regular season,

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: ending would have been months of limbo and making him

97
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: eligible to return Week seven against the Raiders. I can

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: tell you a contrary to reports, there was ever some

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: agreement for Rice to play the first four games and

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: have a hearing on September thirtieth. That was like a

101
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: save the date type of a situation. Here a settlement

102
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: Ian always made the most sense. And while the sides

103
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: were very very far apart, hence the delay, they were

104
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: able to find the middle ground.

105
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: They were far apart and My understanding is the league

106
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: basically started out with about more than ten games, maybe

107
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 3: even twelve games for suspending Rashi Rice for you know

108
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: what obviously was a very very serious situation.

109
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: And what happens in these cases.

110
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: You could say, all right, well, you know, you could

111
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: basically take this to court, right, which would be.

112
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 4: Not actual court but a NFL court, which would be

113
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: one option, or the.

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: Two sides could come together and come up with a

115
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: common sense solution that adequately punishes Rashi Rice for something

116
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: he definitely should not have done.

117
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: But also, you know, I would say has some level

118
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 4: of fairness.

119
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: There was twelve, and then it was ten, and then

120
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: it was okay, I'll be able to play the first

121
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: couple of games while they worked this out.

122
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: It actually behoo's everyone to get this done.

123
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: Now, by the way, is still coming back from a

124
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: major injury, certainly can use those couple games football wise

125
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: to get back to full strength and kind of get

126
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: his legs under him. But it also starts the season

127
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: as it probably should with him out the first six games.

128
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: Kansas City will have to make it happen to develop

129
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: other guys, but certainly for Rashi Rice, he is at

130
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 3: least pleased that this is over with and he knows

131
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: his situation right.

132
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: Now, right given the seriousness of the situation. He's lucky

133
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 5: it ended up being only six games, and the Chiefs

134
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 5: are lucky it ended up being only six games. Of course,

135
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 5: they play next Friday night in Brazil against the Chargers.

136
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 5: They will be now without Rushie Rice for that game

137
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 5: and five more. We know that they know how to

138
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 5: pivot without Rushy Rice because they had to do it

139
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 5: last year when he got hurt and they had that

140
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: whole run of injuries. You remember that offense did not

141
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 5: look very pretty. They still won fifteen games in Kansas City.

142
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: The six games he will miss, he only misses one

143
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: division game, so that is a big break of the scheduling.

144
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 6: Then do have some other significant games there.

145
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: But he also will be back for a game against

146
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: the Bills, which of course could have major playoff implications.

147
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 7: Judy, they were looking at some of the young guys

148
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 7: who was going to emerge, and he was the guy

149
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 7: within the last couple of years and the guy that

150
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 7: they really felt good about that was reliable with regard

151
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 7: to his understanding of the offense and where he needed

152
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 7: to be.

153
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: So that's not going to be there.

154
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 7: But they do feel like this receiver group in this

155
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 7: offense in general, going to be more explosive, going to

156
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 7: have a lot more that defense are going to have

157
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 7: to worry about over the top once again that maybe

158
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 7: we really haven't seen since they got rid of Tyreek Hill.

159
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 7: But they've been good enough in a lot of other

160
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 7: ways to get to the Super Bowl and win the

161
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 7: Super Bowl since then, obviously, but from an offensive standpoint,

162
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 7: they believe the receiver group has more weapons, guys that

163
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 7: can move around, and really I think maybe the key

164
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 7: is going to be Travis Kelsey saying he's locked in

165
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 7: because he doesn't want to go out the way that

166
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 7: he ended last year and feels like he has to

167
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 7: put it all on the field this year and get

168
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 7: all that underneath stuff that should really really help.

169
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: October thirteenth, the first date that Rashi Rice officially will

170
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: be reinstated to the Chiefs ahead of that Week seven

171
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders. Michaeh Parsons we mentioned off the top,

172
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: still at this point a Dallas cowboy, now twenty six

173
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: days after he requested a trade from the team amidst

174
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: non existing contract negotiations for several months now. Our Jane Slater,

175
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: who did some sleuthing after a photo serviced on the internet,

176
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: reported earlier today Michael Parsons was at the airport chain

177
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: not to fly to any particular other NFL destination as

178
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: part of a trade, but to get further examination on

179
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: a back issue that the Cowboys have effectively said doesn't exist.

180
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 8: What do we know, Yes, when you've got mistro on

181
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 8: your helmet, there are eyes everywhere. I got the photos

182
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 8: sent to me. It took place at DFW Airport around

183
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 8: ten thirty this morning, and because of all all of

184
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 8: these trade rumors that have been percolating about Micah Parsons,

185
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 8: the natural thought from a lot of folks was, well,

186
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 8: as he headed to Green Bay, the answers, No, he

187
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 8: is going to get a second opinion on his back.

188
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 8: Quick refresher. He has been dealing with what he describes

189
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 8: as back tightness. They did an MRI on him on Sunday,

190
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 8: he came back clear. So the Cowboys have three days off,

191
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 8: they get back to practice on Friday, and it looks

192
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 8: like he is seeking some sort of resolution here. Ultimately, Tom,

193
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 8: regardless of what we do, whether it be the trade

194
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 8: at this point, or whether it be them having him

195
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 8: remain on this roster, figuring out if they want to

196
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 8: tag him at the end of the season. Jerry keeps

197
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 8: reminding us he is in fact under contract. But if

198
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 8: there is not a medical diagnosis for that back and

199
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 8: he decides that he's going to sit out these games,

200
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 8: he's looking at over a million dollars a week of

201
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 8: game checks that he'll be missing out on.

202
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 9: And so we wait.

203
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: We're following up on all of.

204
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 8: The rumors that are on the internet. Our group chat

205
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 8: is certainly lit here on the Insiders, but I did

206
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 8: reach out to see if we've got an update on

207
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 8: that back, and I have not heard anything back yet.

208
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: Mike, as you said, still seeking a resolution, Jane. In

209
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: that photo looks like he's seeking his belt. You know,

210
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: when the one thing comes out of a little bin

211
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: and then it gets stuck and then you don't know

212
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: exactly where it went. Hopefully Mikah got there all the

213
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: luggage intact. We know you'll stay on top of that story,

214
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.

215
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: Jane.

216
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: This is going to be the one driving issue as

217
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: we run down these final eight days until the season

218
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: opener between the Cowboys and the Eagles, because there is

219
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: absolutely no denying that since Micah Parsons came into the NFL,

220
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: he has been one of the most impactful defensive players

221
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: across the entire league. Yet here we stand now it

222
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: is August twenty seven. We have less than a week

223
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: to go. Cowboys will be back on the practice field

224
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: on Friday, Mike, and we still have no talks, Jerry

225
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: Jones still giving no indications publicly that a trade is

226
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: in the works. What do you make of where we

227
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: stand right now in Dallas?

228
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 7: I make that it's time for Mike Ca Parsons to

229
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 7: make a decision, and that decision is am I playing

230
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 7: in this game? And I might going to return the

231
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 7: practice because now once the cuts are done and the

232
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 7: fifty three man rosters are set, it's all about putting

233
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 7: your eyes towards your Week one opponent. And Parsons, I

234
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 7: know he feels it, like I know he feels that

235
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 7: competitiveness that he wants to get back out there. He

236
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 7: feels that he wants to be out there for his teammates,

237
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 7: to go out there and play the defending champion NFC.

238
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 7: He's rivals in their building on the opening night, Like

239
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 7: that's what you want to be a part of that's

240
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 7: what MIKEAH Parsons is all about. So all that's going

241
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 7: to be pulling at him, and on the other side

242
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 7: is going to be do I want to stand my ground?

243
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 7: Do I want to stand on business and remain out

244
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 7: of action. There's a lot of reasons to get back

245
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 7: out there. It's gonna be tough for MIKEAEH. Parsons, but

246
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 7: I think he might be out there, And frankly, I

247
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 7: keep saying this, this might be what this situation needs.

248
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: The kickstart talks.

249
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, if Mike Caparsons is going to be

250
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: out there practice, if Mike CA Parsons is going to

251
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: be out there playing, it's not even if it's you know,

252
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 3: let's say he's on the field for Friday, whenever, the

253
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 3: first practice of the game, it's not going to be

254
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: at full strength either way. This hold in or whatever,

255
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: this is the back injury that he is dealing with.

256
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: That Jane properly slewth today put him in the airport

257
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 3: and sent him on a flight to go get it

258
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: checked out. It certainly has affected his preparation either way,

259
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: be right. I mean, at some point, considering where we

260
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: are in the game week considering that the Dallas Cowboys

261
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: play on Thursday, we need some sort of resolution. He

262
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: is one of the best players in the NFL. He

263
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: should be highly compensated. I don't know if he's going

264
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: to get on the field without a huge contract from

265
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,239
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys.

266
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 4: We need an answer. I know Dallas does too.

267
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: And the fact that we've been talking about this for

268
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: three months, well it means well, we probably got our

269
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: fill as well.

270
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 6: We do have our fill as well.

271
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 5: I know we all joke about the contracts getting done

272
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 5: on the morning of the game. We've sort of seen

273
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 5: that happen in Dallas history. Just keep in mind yesterday

274
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 5: Brian Schottenheimer said that even if Michael Parsons is on

275
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 5: the fields for the season opener, which Schottenheimer still believes

276
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: he will be on the field for the season opener,

277
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: he said he's going to be on a pitch count.

278
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 5: So not only has is he not going to be

279
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: where he needs to be, he's going to be limited

280
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 5: in his action for them. So this has already had

281
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 5: a very real effect on the Dallas Cowboys. Even if

282
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 5: Michael Parsons gets into practice tomorrow and gets on the

283
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 5: field in eight days to kick off against the Philadelphia Eagles,

284
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: the defending champion, on Thursday night. It's still going to

285
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: have had a significant effect on the Dallas Cowboys. This

286
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: needs to be wrapped up at one way or the other,

287
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 5: that's for sure.

288
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Whenever and wherever Michael Parsons gets that contract extent, and

289
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: it is expected to make in the highest paid non

290
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in NFL history. Payday has not come yet, but

291
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: then come today for one of the Baltimore Ravens young stars,

292
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: safety Kyle Hamilton, and the Ravens agree to terms on

293
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: a four year, one hundred million dollar contract extension that

294
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: includes eighty two million guarantee. In a bunch of different metrics,

295
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: this makes him the highest paid safety in NFL history,

296
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: also the highest paid guy not named Lamar Jackson in

297
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: Ravens history. As you might expect, Kyle Hamilton pretty happy.

298
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: Ian.

299
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: We've seen that quarterback market explode over the last couple

300
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: of years. The safety market to a large degree has

301
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: been kind of stagnant here. But when he got a

302
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: guy like cal Hamilton who can play a bunch of

303
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: different roles for you, you find a way to take

304
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: care of him the way the Ravens did.

305
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: Kyle Hamilton plays all the roles and got all of

306
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: the money today and what can only be described as

307
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: a blockbuster extension four years on the extension more than

308
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars twenty five point one million dollars

309
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: per year, new money, highest paid defensive back, highest paid

310
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: safety in NFL history, forty eight million dollars fully guaranteed,

311
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: eighty two million dollars guaranteed overall in a deal done

312
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: by Kyle McCarthy of athletes. First, this is the kind

313
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: of player you reward, and the Ravens have richly done

314
00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: that today.

315
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,080

00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: Now?

340
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 6: Welcome to the show, Drew Brees.

341
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: Drew, you are here on behalf of Abbott and that

342
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 5: we give blood campaign work we're going to talk about

343
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 5: in a few minutes, But first, how.

344
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: Have you been?

345
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 9: Been great? Been great? Retirement's been fun.

346
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 12: Still very much involved with the game of football. I coach,

347
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 12: I coach a high school team locally, coach my kids,

348
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 12: part of everything that they're doing athletically, trying to breed

349
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 12: multi sport athletes, and obviously really healy involved with the

350
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 12: NFL game as well. And still my Saints and a

351
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 12: lot of other business interests too in our foundation. So

352
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 12: I'm probably busier now than I was when I was playing.

353
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 5: Well, let's talk about your Saints because you were here

354
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 5: on the absolute perfect day. They named their new starting

355
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 5: quarterback yesterday Spencer Ratler won a training camp competition over

356
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 5: the rookie Tyler. Shup, you are Saints royalty. They have

357
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 5: not made the playoffs since you retired. Give me your

358
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 5: assessment of where the Saints are now and on the

359
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 5: quarterbacks they have.

360
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 12: Look, I think the Saints have an incredible opportunity. I

361
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 12: think the NFC South Division is wide open. I know

362
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 12: Tampa's won it the last couple of years, and they've

363
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 12: got kind of the veteran quarterback in Baker Mayfield. It's

364
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 12: really established himself. But I mean I look at the

365
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 12: rest of the vision. Everybody's kind of dealing with young

366
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 12: quarterbacks right now. Michael Pennix is, you know, kind of taking.

367
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 9: Over that new era in Atlanta.

368
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 12: You know Bryce Young, love the way he finished the

369
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 12: season last year, you know, really really have a lot

370
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 12: of respect for him and the way he overcame that adversity,

371
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 12: and so I know they have high expectations, But I

372
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 12: love where the Saints set right now. I think they

373
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 12: have one of the best offensive lines in football. I

374
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 12: think they have some really explosive guys on the perimeter

375
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 12: in shihit O Lave that are now healthy again. Alvin

376
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 12: Kamara one of the most dynamic backs in the league. Defensively,

377
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 12: they've done a great job drafting linebacker and secondary level.

378
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 12: Still have great leadership in Toamorio Davis and Cam Jordan's

379
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 12: So at the end of the day, I think the

380
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 12: Saints are poised to have a ton of success. But

381
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 12: I think the big maybe question mark or just you know, hey,

382
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 12: we haven't seen it yet, is the quarterback position. Right

383
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 12: Spencer Ratler had a chance to start a few games

384
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 12: last year, unfortunately they were decimated by injury. But I

385
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 12: think he's an incredible athlete, has the ability to really

386
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 12: distribute the ball, plays outside the pocket. Tyler Schuck rookie,

387
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 12: no experience, but seven years in college, I think he's

388
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 12: matured beyond his years, you know, big, strong, physical kid.

389
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 9: So we'll see how this thing plays out.

390
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 12: I think it's more so just the fact that you

391
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 12: look at, hey, two really young guys, you know, at

392
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 12: the quarterback position, and just wondering how quickly they can

393
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 12: develop as we get into the season.

394
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: Here, I want to take you back because, believe it

395
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 5: or not, this week is the twentieth anniversary of when

396
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 5: Katrina made Landfall. You decided to join the Saints not

397
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 5: too many months after that, when when you reflect on

398
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 5: that and how that team became so linked to that

399
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 5: area's recovery, Where does that decision, Where does that part

400
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 5: of your life fit into your career and to your family?

401
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: Uh?

402
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 12: Ending ending up in New Orleans was truly a calling.

403
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 12: It was God's calling for me, my wife, Brittany. I'll

404
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 12: never forget the moment where we made that decision.

405
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 9: It was.

406
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 12: It was basically when we were in the car with

407
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 12: Sean Dayton and when I was on my official visit

408
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 12: to New Orleans, you know, not not sure what to expect,

409
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 12: not sure what we would see. You know, we had

410
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 12: we had all watched that devastation, you know, on TV.

411
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 12: And I think, just like any natural disaster or situation

412
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 12: like that, I think you look at it from afar

413
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 12: and say, gosh, that's terrible, and you know, wish there

414
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 12: was something I could do, and then you know, see

415
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 12: it in person and then recognize that, you know what,

416
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 12: we really do have a chance to be a part of,

417
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 12: you know, the rebirth and resurrection of one of America's

418
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 12: greatest cities, and that this decision is so much more

419
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 12: than just football, but also recognizing hey, by coming here

420
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 12: and being the quarterback of this team, and by winning

421
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 12: football games and you know, being a leader in this community.

422
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 9: Just what a difference that can make.

423
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 12: The realization happened, you know, at that moment, and it

424
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 12: was the greatest decision that I've ever made for my

425
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 12: wife and I what we had a chance to be

426
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 12: a part of, you know, not just my football career,

427
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 12: but to watch the city come back stronger than ever.

428
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 12: I think all that culminated to just this last Super Bowl,

429
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 12: you know, being in New Orleans and the whole world

430
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 12: really having a chance to andark on the city and

431
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 12: see just what an incredible place it is and just

432
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 12: the way that it has responded here twenty years later,

433
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 12: and obviously so much will be talked about here over

434
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 12: the next week, you know, as we reflect on twenty

435
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 12: years ago and just the impact that the storm had

436
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 12: and I think the way that it affect people at

437
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 12: the time, but also just the way that New Orleans

438
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 12: always finds a way to come back stronger than ever.

439
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 12: I think it just speaks to the strength and resiliency

440
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 12: of the people there.

441
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 6: All right, you mentioned Sean Payton.

442
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 5: Of course, you guys enjoyed an extraordinary partnership and great success.

443
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 5: He's having success already, He's going into year three in Denver.

444
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 5: When you look at the Broncos, maybe when you look

445
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 5: at how Sean is bringing along bo Nix, how much

446
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 5: of that looks familiar to you or has he changed

447
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 5: things up since you guys were in New Orleans together.

448
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 12: You know, it's it's definitely Sean Payton's office.

449
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 9: I mean, it's very similar to what we did, you know.

450
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 12: I think what you have to realize is that from

451
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 12: when Shawn and I started O six to where we

452
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 12: ended up in twenty twenty, man, there was such an

453
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 12: evolution to the offense. You know, when I go back

454
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 12: and look at our old game plans, I mean it

455
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 12: looks like, you know, third grade elementary school level compared

456
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 12: to Calculus.

457
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 9: Three or where we ended up. You know, when we

458
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 9: finished together.

459
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 12: A lot of that's just because of our relationship and

460
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 12: our ability just to continue to add ad ad And

461
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 12: I think for me, one of the more difficult things

462
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 12: for a quarterback is that when you step in the huddle,

463
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 12: you have to recite this play call that is basically

464
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 12: telling everybody what to do, and your ability to shorten

465
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 12: that play call is really dependent upon everybody's ability just

466
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 12: to memorize things very quickly and go I was always,

467
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 12: you know, okay, with the responsibility of I'll get in

468
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 12: there and I don't care if I have to read

469
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 12: a paragraph in my head. I just want everybody to

470
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 12: know exactly what to do and breaking the huddle. It's

471
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 12: helping guys with splits and you know this route and

472
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 12: that I'll tag everybody, I think, you know, going from

473
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 12: that to all of a sudden you have a rookie

474
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 12: quarterback that basically you have to teach the language. You know,

475
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 12: it's not just the playbook, it's a whole new language.

476
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 12: And then have them, you know, make it where it's

477
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 12: second nature, you know, getting in and out of the huddle,

478
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 12: and then how they operate when they get up to

479
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 12: the line of scrimmage, and just kind of teaching them

480
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 12: all of those habits and techniques and you know, giving

481
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 12: them the tools to go out and be successful. Obviously,

482
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 12: Bonux has a ton of natural ability. Sixty one college starts,

483
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 12: he comes in with a tremendous amount of experience and maturity.

484
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 9: He was a multi sport athlete in high school.

485
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 12: Dad was a coach, like so He's got all these

486
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 12: traits right, great leadership ability. Had a chance to work

487
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 12: with Bo a little bit of this offseason, really impressed

488
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 12: with just his overall demeanor, the way he approaches the game.

489
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 12: He wants to be a great player, He's willing to work.

490
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 12: They've really built a great team around him. I think

491
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 12: they're going to run the ball effectively this year. He's

492
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 12: got big targets to throw to defense. I think it's

493
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 12: going to be lights out.

494
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 9: So if there's a.

495
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 12: Team that's going to make a run of the Chiefs,

496
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 12: I think it's the Broncos and Sean Payton and bow Nix.

497
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 3: All.

498
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 5: Right, before we let you go, Drew, tell us what

499
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 5: you're doing with Abbitt and the Big ten and the

500
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 5: blood drive campaign.

501
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, this is really an exciting campaign.

502
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 12: I think a lot of people, you know, you don't

503
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 12: think about giving blood, you know, and it's probably because

504
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 12: you don't realize just what an impact that can make.

505
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 12: But we're we're in an extreme blood shortage right now,

506
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 12: and the opportunity for us all to get out and

507
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 12: to give blood could not be more important than it

508
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 12: is right now. In fact, you know, every two seconds

509
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 12: somebody needs blood. Your ability to give blood can save

510
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 12: up to three lives when you give blood. All the

511
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 12: blood that's given, more than twenty five percent goes to

512
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 12: patients with cancer. And I know that everybody has been

513
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 12: affected in some way by cancer, whether it's.

514
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 9: A faamily, friend, loved one.

515
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 12: So Abbot in the Big Ten Conference have embarked on

516
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 12: a campaign. This is their second year of doing it

517
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 12: is that we give Blood Drive, basically challenging all everybody

518
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 12: to give blood, but doing a little competition with the

519
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 12: Big Ten Conference here too, where everybody it's affiliated with

520
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 12: a Big ten university, whether it's a student, alumni, family, friends,

521
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 12: go to your nearest blood center give blood, and then

522
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 12: you can go to Big ten dot or org, backslash

523
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 12: abbot and register that donation with one of the universities.

524
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 12: And that basically gives that university the opportunity whoever raises

525
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 12: the most blood or it is the most blood wins

526
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 12: a million dollars towards student health related activities in and

527
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 12: around campus.

528
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 9: So we want.

529
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 12: Everybody to go get blood, and if you have affiliation

530
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 12: with a Big ten university, please go register so that

531
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 12: we can so that Purdue can win this competition. Now

532
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 12: we want every we want everything to good blood and

533
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 12: certainly help with the blood shortage, but also just recognize

534
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 12: that you really are saving lives.

535
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 6: Great cause. Drew, thanks so much for joining us.

536
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 5: We hope we'll be able to talk to you again,

537
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 5: especially as the Hall of Fame selection process ramps up

538
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 5: because you are eligible for the first time this year.

539
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 5: We are looking forward to that. Drew Brees, thank you

540
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 5: so much for joining us.

541
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 9: Yes, thank you.

542
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: Our top story tonight, Adam Feelin is a Minnesota Viking

543
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: once again. After what a week or so of talks

544
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: between the Panthers and Minnesota, the sides, we're able to work.

545
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: Out a deal.

546
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: It's a couple of couple of pick flops in future drafts,

547
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: which you need to know Panthers get the equivalent of

548
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: four thrown pick out of the deal.

549
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: Feeling gets his wish.

550
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: The Minnesota native headed back to the Vikings. Certainly seems

551
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: that not just Steeling, but his family's pretty excited about

552
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: it too.

553
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going at home.

554
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 9: We're going at home.

555
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 6: We're going at home.

556
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: We're going at home.

557
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 9: We're going.

558
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: I think it was because you were the twins striat

559
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: why a great moment right there.

560
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: For the Feeling family is certainly something that he was

561
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: hoping would come to Fruition. Thirty five years old and

562
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: now getting back for what could be We'll see. He's

563
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of one of those guys just sticks around forever,

564
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: but could be one last run with the team and

565
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: the state that he started in. A lot more news

566
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: though around the NFL ian what else we got.

567
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: Nick Caserio, the Texans general manager, met with reporters today

568
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 3: and of course one of the big topics, what is

569
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: the deal with Joe Mixon? Popped up on the non

570
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: football injury list to start the season. He is out

571
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: the first four games, making some news I guess by

572
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: giving no real indication that Nixon.

573
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 4: Is going to come back anytime soon.

574
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 3: He didn't say will, he didn't say well, but the

575
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: fact that there was no update seemed, at least to

576
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 3: those in attendant, that it was a little ominously. Would

577
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 3: take a one day day at a time like everyone.

578
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 4: Else, we shall see.

579
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 3: It does not seem like they are counting on him

580
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: earlier in the season, which means Nick Chubb is a

581
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: must add in fantasy and for the Texans, so when

582
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: they already added in real football.

583
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson lost the starting quarterback job to Daniel Jones

584
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 5: in Indianapolis, but the man who drafted Richardson fourth overall,

585
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 5: general manager Chris Ballard, said today there is value in

586
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 5: Richardson sitting and watching. Reminder, Richardson has started just twenty

587
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 5: eight games total between college and the NFL, so he

588
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 5: still presumably has a whole lot more snaps and games.

589
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 6: Coming to him in the future.

590
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 5: Here is Ballard saying they are not giving up on

591
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson.

592
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 13: We're not trading him. I know the negativity, and it's

593
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 13: easy to say, Okay, he's done, and I don't agree.

594
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 13: I've said this numerous times.

595
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 4: I do not agree with that.

596
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 13: I think overcoming challenges and obstacles along the way are

597
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 13: good for anybody.

598
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: I do.

599
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 13: I'm proud of Anthony, of where he's at, how far

600
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 13: he's come. He's come miles.

601
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 7: If you watch the program went last night, we told

602
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 7: you Tommy DeVito would have a new job in short order,

603
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 7: about as short as he possibly could. The Patriots claimed

604
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 7: him off of waivers. They actually made a run at

605
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 7: him before he signed to the Giants practice squad. When

606
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 7: he got cut back in twenty twenty three. I know

607
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 7: it was the previous regime, but Elliott Wolf was there

608
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 7: and he is there now, as is Ryan Cowten who

609
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 7: was with the Giants for the last couple of years.

610
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 6: So de Vito ends up in New England.

611
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 7: He was one of the fallback options in Vegas if

612
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 7: they didn't Cake and he pick it, but they got him.

613
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 7: So DeVito now up there with Drake May who is

614
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 7: in New England because DeVito won a bunch of games

615
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 7: with the Giants.

616
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: A lot of connections on this one.

617
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 7: Meanwhile, the Patriots at released Kendrick Bourne, the veteran wide

618
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 7: receiver who was the subject of some trade talks. You

619
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 7: remember Tom Pellisarro telling you that the Vikings were talking

620
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 7: to teams about potential veteran receivers. Yes, Adam Felin was

621
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 7: one of them, but Kendrick Bourne was another. I know

622
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 7: there's an obvious connection to San Francisco where he played before,

623
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 7: but there are a bunch of teams that are going

624
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 7: to have interest here. So keep an eye on Kendrick

625
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 7: Bourne to see where he lands after he's released by

626
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 7: the Patriots.

627
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: Tom, there was another wide receiver traded today, Tim Patrick,

628
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: going from the Lions to the Jaguars. Actually happened late

629
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: last night that tech sat on my phone for about

630
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: seven hours, woke up, Bang, we got a trade. He

631
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: Jaguars giving up a twenty twenty six to six round

632
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: pick for something. James Gladstone said. They didn't have a

633
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: big body. He's six foot five. They liked that addition

634
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: into their offense. The forty nine Ers obviously thought that

635
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: they did a little more speed, so they signed Marquez

636
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: Valdez Scantley one day after the division rival Seahawks had

637
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: released the speedy wide receiver. He had kind of a

638
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: renaissance last year in New Orleans. That potentially could have

639
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: been a landing spot, but the forty nine Ers have

640
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: had so many injuries at that position, made a lot

641
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: of sense for them to go after MBS.

642
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: And they might not be done. Week one is coming

643
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: up in short.

644
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: Order, the kickoff Game, believe it or not, eight nights

645
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: away from basically right now, it is the Cowboys, it

646
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: is the Eagles, and at least one of those teams

647
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: has a candidate to be a breakout second year player,

648
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: according to our Jeffrey Chedia, who joins US right now

649
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: along with Mark Ross. To talk more about that, Jeffrey hoo.

650
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Do you like starting out in that kickoff game? To

651
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 1: break out in your two God, I'm going to go

652
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: with Jlex Hunt.

653
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 14: There edge rusher who really flashed in the postseason last year,

654
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 14: had a sack of the Super Bowl. But what I

655
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 14: love about him is that he's playing in a big

656
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 14: Fangio defense. He's going to have a great secondary behind him.

657
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 14: And you look at the maturation of Nolan Smith last

658
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 14: year when he went from being a guy who was

659
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 14: a part time player to a player who had six sacks.

660
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: I can see Hunt.

661
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 14: Having that kind of a breakout year. And from my

662
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 14: offensive player, I want to go to Ricky Piersoll because

663
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 14: you just mentioned the forty nine ers and them having

664
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 14: all kinds of issues at wide receiver.

665
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 9: He's one of only two wide receivers who's been able.

666
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 14: To practice consistently all throughout training camp, and I love

667
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 14: his attitude. He says, we got to go with who's

668
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 14: in this receiving room. We have to make the most

669
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 14: of it. He's the leader right now, and my guess

670
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 14: is Black Purty's going to look for him a lot

671
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 14: this season.

672
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: Not bad Jeffrey, but.

673
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 10: Vine picks here on the offensive side, I'm going to

674
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 10: go with the second year quarterback from the Patriots that

675
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 10: we've talked about already on the show, Drake Maye, and

676
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 10: number one, just having the stability there with head coach

677
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 10: Mike brave Grabel, who knows how to win playoffs and

678
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 10: win division Just having that in there, the stability off

679
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 10: the field will help him grow. But also their talent

680
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 10: influx is just so much tremendous this offseason and free agency,

681
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 10: getting Stefan Diggs and all those guys on the defensive side,

682
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 10: and then in the draft to get Will Campbell, a

683
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 10: left tackle will be a Pro Bowl left tackle, and

684
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 10: Trebion Henderson the running back from Ohio State who I

685
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 10: picked to be the offensive Rookie of the Year, to

686
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 10: go with some other players as well. So Drake may

687
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 10: with a stability off the field influx of talent will

688
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 10: be a lot better with not having to be the

689
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 10: one man show. And then on the defensive side, Entrean Cooper,

690
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 10: the linebacker from Green Bay who was my very favorite

691
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 10: player coming out of the draft last year, only played

692
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 10: forty five percent of the snaps last year because he

693
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 10: had an injury in training camp and then missed three games,

694
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 10: but in those forty five percent of snaps. He had

695
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 10: three and a half sacks, thirteen tackles for the lost

696
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 10: seventy seven tackles, and the explosiveness, speed and playmaking just

697
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 10: jumped off the screen of what I saw from him

698
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 10: in college.

699
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: So now is a full time starter. This guy's going

700
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: to be All Pro player this year.

701
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: A lot to look forward to starting out in week one,

702
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: just eight days away. Mark and Jeffrey, thank you very much.

703
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: We also need to address some serious and sickening news

704
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: today out of Minnesota. A shooter open fire with a

705
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: rifle this morning through the windows of a Catholic church

706
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis and struck children celebrating massing the first week

707
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: of school, killing two and wounding seventeen people in an

708
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: act of violence that the police chief called absolutely incomprehensible.

709
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: The Vikings issue in a statement saying, we are devastated

710
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: by the horrific violence that took place at Annunciation Church

711
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis this morning. Our hearts are broken for the victims,

712
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: their families, and all who have been impacted by this

713
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: senseless and cowardly act. We are praying for the injured,

714
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: those who witnessed the attack, and the first responders who

715
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: were on the scene providing care and support during this tragedy.

716
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: I live in Minnesota. I'm also devastated. I'm pissed off.

717
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to keep doing these stories instead of

718
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: talking about football with all of you. Our thoughts from

719
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: everybody here with the insiders are with all those affected

720
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: more after this, well.

721
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: Well, well, sign a big new contract, start practicing. Terry McLaurin,

722
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 3: at long last, has ditched his trademark Holden Hoodie, which,

723
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 3: as he said today, who doesn't allow a good hoodie?

724
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: Shout out to all the hoodie wears, and he is

725
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: now wearing a commander's actual football uniform to play football

726
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 3: for the team that he plays for. After signing this big,

727
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: huge deal that took up all of our attention this

728
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 3: summer and ended with an excellent outcome, which is Terry

729
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 3: McLaurin getting paid.

730
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 4: He talked about it about an hour ago.

731
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 15: It was a long process, and you know, there's no

732
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 15: playbook or script on how to handle this situation, and

733
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 15: so you know, you start out one way and then

734
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 15: you hope that it ends the way it's ended. And

735
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 15: so I'm thankful for this process to just be able

736
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 15: to be back on the field and just the conversations

737
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 15: that you know, Buddy and AP had and myself and

738
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 15: AP and me and DQ. So it was It's definitely

739
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 15: been a process, but I'm really happy to be back

740
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 15: out here with my teammates.

741
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 4: Man.

742
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: I am happy that that is done as well. We

743
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 3: talked about it as much as we could possibly talk

744
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 3: about it. Jeffrey tradea bucket Brooks in here with me

745
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 3: on the insiders. Uh So, the commanders were good last year.

746
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 3: We know that maybe the biggest surprise of all teams,

747
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 3: which got me thick buck yelp stock with you. Who

748
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 3: is going to be this year's commanders to kind of

749
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 3: take off in the way that maybe we didn't quite expect.

750
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 16: I think Mark Ross kind of put it out there,

751
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 16: and so I'm gonna piggyback on what Mark.

752
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 9: Ross said about the New England Patriots.

753
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 16: The Patriots are really set up to make a surprise

754
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 16: jump in the AFC. One of the reasons I'm big

755
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 16: on the Patriots is because Mike Rabel has brought his

756
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 16: guys over. You think about all of the veterans that

757
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 16: came over, called Davis, Harold Landry, Roberts, Bulane, others, that

758
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 16: have come on board to really help this defense play

759
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 16: with the toughness in grit that has always been a

760
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 16: hallmark of his teams. But then Stefon Diggs being the

761
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 16: number one receiver on the Vermeiter and the job that

762
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 16: Stefan Diggs did an unlocking Josh Allen.

763
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 9: As we talk about some.

764
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 16: Of the other weapons, Will Campbell on the offensive line,

765
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 16: Travian Henderson.

766
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: This Patriots team as.

767
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 16: They're beginning to embrace the winning tradition that Mike Rabel brings,

768
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 16: they gonna be a tough out for team. So I'm

769
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 16: all in on the Patriots being a surprise team that

770
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 16: goes from dark horse to viable contender in the AFC.

771
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: Well, Bucky, I love that wild card approach to it.

772
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 14: I'm going with the low hanging fruit here with the

773
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 14: Chicago Bears, and I've been on them all off season,

774
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 14: and I know that the Commanders of ruined their season

775
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 14: last year with that Hail Mary because they started they

776
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 14: won a ten game losing streak after that.

777
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 9: But you look at what.

778
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 14: They've done, bringing in Ben Johnson, retooling that interior, they

779
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 14: offensive line, adding Colston Loveland, Luther Burden in through the draft,

780
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 14: I just think this team is set up to do

781
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 14: big things. And I know they're in a very tough division.

782
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 14: But what I love about Ben Johnson isn't just that

783
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 14: he's a great offensive mind, but that he spent a

784
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 14: lot of time with Dan Campbell seeing how he rebuilt

785
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 14: the Detroit Lions, and so I think that's an underrated

786
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 14: part of what Ben Johnson can bring to this team.

787
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 14: I know it's a tough division, but I see them

788
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 14: making the playoffs and making noise once they get there.

789
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 4: You know, I got to be totally honest.

790
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 3: We've talked so much about the Bears and what they're

791
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 3: going to be like with Ben Johnson and how much

792
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: better Caleb was going to be. I can't wait to

793
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 3: see it. Like of all the things, I can't wait.

794
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: To see that.

795
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 3: Guys great stuff. As always, Jeffrey, we will say goodbye

796
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: to you.

797
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 7: The bad news of yesterday a lot of these guys

798
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 7: losing their jobs. The good news up today, the squads

799
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 7: that need to be filled. Sixteen players per team, so

800
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 7: a lot of guys back in action, a lot of

801
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 7: recognizable names back in action. The NFL changing the rules

802
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 7: a couple of years ago during COVID allowing for more

803
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 7: veterans to be on practice squads, and so these guys

804
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 7: are back on teams as part of the practice squads.

805
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 7: There Cole Strange right there, former first round pick of

806
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 7: the New England Patriots, trying to jumpstart his career in Cleveland,

807
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 7: along with Malachi core Corley, a third round pick of

808
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 7: the Jets that had a lot of interest des had

809
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 7: to go to Cleveland.

810
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks, Mark Ross with us.

811
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 7: You saw those moves there. How about your favorite moves

812
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 7: of the entire offseason start with Mark.

813
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 10: Cool Strange And not for Cole Strange himself, but the

814
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 10: Patriots philosophy, and we've talked about this a lot of

815
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 10: this is a total rebuild and usually first round draft picks,

816
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 10: we'll get the benefit of down and the team will

817
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 10: keep trying.

818
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: To work with that.

819
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 10: Well, Mike Rabel there and Elliot Wolf were saying, we

820
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 10: don't care if he was a first round pick. We're

821
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 10: letting him go. Kendrick Bourne, we.

822
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: Don't care what he's done in the past.

823
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 9: We're letting him go. We have to get better.

824
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 10: Even the Marcus EPP's the safety who they signed as

825
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 10: a free agent.

826
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 2: Their movie on it, letting him go.

827
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 4: So this is it's a continuation of how.

828
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 10: I dislike how the Patriots have completely I think crushed

829
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 10: the whole offseason, free agency, the draft, and now even

830
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 10: in this minor period where you think nothing happens, but

831
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 10: it's really a signal change Bucky of Hey, this is

832
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 10: a new era.

833
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 2: We any new players in here.

834
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 9: We need our guys, you.

835
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 16: Know, Mark, I really like what you're talking about with

836
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 16: the Patriots talking about a new era, but I like

837
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 16: what the Pittsburgh Stills have done and going back to

838
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 16: a throwback era and talking to Mike Tomlin, he talked

839
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 16: about getting players who had an edge, a winning pedigree,

840
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 16: some fightiness. So Jalen Ramsey coming over from the Miami

841
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 16: Dolphins to me is a perfect fit. And one of

842
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 16: the reasons why I love Jalen Ramsey coming over is

843
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 16: not what he brings as a do it all playmaker

844
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 16: in the back end, but it's what he can show

845
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,959
Speaker 16: and demonstrate to Joey Porter Junior and some.

846
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 9: Of the other young guys in the secondary.

847
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 16: The fightiness, the edginess, the competitiveness, the ability to take

848
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 16: on the number one receips all of those things this phase.

849
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 16: But then it's the physicality and rough and rugged play

850
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 16: that Pittsburgh has always.

851
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 2: Been known for.

852
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 16: I love the Steelers getting back to who they are

853
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 16: and what they've been. That part has been lacking a

854
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 16: little bit. The edginess is back in Pittsburgh, which is

855
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 16: why I think they could be one of those sneaky

856
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 16: good teams again this year.

857
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 7: Jay and Ramsey showed that edge in the preseason game

858
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 7: I believe it was against the Panthers, drew a fifteen

859
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 7: yard penalty, threw a guy down. I remember the announcer

860
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 7: for the Steelers saying, who garrets in the preseason. He's

861
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 7: set a tone. He's doing that right after back. Can't

862
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 7: have any of those anymore now, Jalen. We're at the

863
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 7: point of the regular season now for you with your

864
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 7: new team.

865
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: Chargers running back Naji Harris practicing for the first time

866
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: today since a fourth of July fireworks explosion left him

867
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: with an eye injury. Are Omar Ruiz on the scene?

868
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: Visual proof right there, Naji Harris. We're at number twenty two,

869
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: moving around pretty well for a guy who had not

870
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: been out on the field in that capacity in a

871
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: couple of months. Coach Jim Harbaugh today reiterating what GM

872
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: Joe Ortiz and said Mike, which is that Naji Harris

873
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: could play in week one. We'll see if that actually

874
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: occurs here. But what do you make about just the

875
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: way that this entire thing is played out?

876
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it started with just him walking around the field.

877
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 7: It was a ginger recovery for Nijie. Harrison then went

878
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 7: the jogging. Now back on the field. It was allegedly

879
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 7: a superficial eye injury. Clearly a serious deal, but good

880
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:32,919
Speaker 7: to see him back on the field.

881
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 5: I would like football players to be a lot more

882
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 5: careful around fireworks. We've had a number of fireworks incidents

883
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 5: at the fourth of July JTP, Please be careful, guys.

884
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 3: The other thing I keep thinking of is, you know

885
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: everyone's going to have to look at the Chargers practice

886
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 3: field and be like, is he actually playing?

887
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 4: Do I need to prepare for him? There is a

888
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 4: competitive elopment.

889
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 3: To this that I'm sure the Chargers are embracing and

890
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 3: knowing Jim Hargolle as I do, he probably likes it.

891
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: We'll be back at seven Beep Measter tomorrow. See everybody
