1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: It's June eighteenth, and the Ravens are not done loading

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: up just yet. Two time Pro Bowl cornerback JayR. Alexander

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: is headed to Baltimore or he will reunite with a

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: very happy quarterback. We will tell you how this deal

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: got done. We'll also get the inside scoop on that

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: signing from Inside the Castle. Ravens wide receiver Rashan Bateman

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: joins the show tonight to talk about Lamar's new physique,

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: getting over the hump, and a whole lot more. We

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: will also hear from Chief Star tight end Travis Kelce,

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: who is entering his thirteenth NFL season and maybe already

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: nine year fourteen in Kansas City. Welcome inside with the

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport and Judy Matista.

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: I am Tom Pellisero.

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: We are seventy eight days out from the start of

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five NFL season. We still got four

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: teams in Mantory Mini camp this week, and one of

17
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: them just made a pretty big name edition. That is JayR. Alexander,

18
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: who is now a member of the Ravens. The team

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: announcing this deal themselves. It is a one year, four

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: million dollar contract to interrupt the sixty six million dollars

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: with playing time incentives back with his old Louisville teenage

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Jayre actually went fourteen spots ahead of Lamar

23
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: back in the twenty eighteen draft. Lamar holding no grudges

24
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: on that front. He made clear yesterday he was hoping

25
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: this would happen.

26
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: Louisville cornerback, accomplished cornerback available, Have you got it?

27
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: We'll get him here.

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: Hell on our corner from getting wrong, but go get

29
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: him here.

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: Have you got a chance to talk to JayR about

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: coming here?

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 6: I hit him up.

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 7: I hit him up.

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: But you know, you don't know, You never know, Jaya,

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: that's my boy.

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 1: Definitely not the first time that the Ravens have gone

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: out and gotten a big name free agent, some of

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: them in their prime, some of them maybe a little

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: bit passed here. If you were wondering, like I was,

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: by the way, how much Le'Veon Bell played for the

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Ravens back in twenty twenty one, the answer is in

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: eighty three yards and did score two touchdowns.

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: The real question here, Ian is.

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: Going to be are they getting the JayR Alexander who

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: for a while was the highest paid corner in the NFL.

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: He was a really tough, lockdown type corner, but especially

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: over these past couple of years, injuries and otherwise, it

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: has not gone well.

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 5: In Green Bay. No, it has not.

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 8: And that is exactly why JAYI Alexander with his close

52
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 8: friend Lamar Jackson right there aimes for a career rebirth

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 8: in Baltimore. Now, as far as the contract details, you

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 8: mentioned it one year four million dollars can make two

55
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 8: more million dollars in playtime incentive that if he is

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 8: on the.

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 9: Field is very very achievable.

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 8: So if he plays, if he's a starter, plays all

59
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 8: the games, he's going to make six million dollars, which

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 8: is far less than the sixteen point five million dollars

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 8: he was on the books flore for the Green Bay Packers.

62
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 8: And let's go back a little bit because this really

63
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 8: is a saga that has been going on since the

64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 8: combine the Packers that JayR Alexander mutually agreed to explore

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 8: parting ways. The Packers wanted a trade, certainly seem JayR

66
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 8: Alexander wanted to be a free agent go find his

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 8: own plays. That could not agree on a contract restructure,

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 8: so he was set free and you just never see

69
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 8: a player.

70
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 9: This talented this time of year available.

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 8: For my understanding, JayR Alexander did have larger offers from

72
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 8: several other teams.

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 9: He wanted Baltimore. He wanted a one year deal.

74
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: He wanted a.

75
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 8: Place where he could go win, resurrect his career, prove

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 8: to everyone that he is still a lockdown, playmaking corner.

77
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 8: Then go out and crush it in free agency next year.

78
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 8: And I would bet Judy that if that happens for

79
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 8: a JayR Alexander, the Ravens will be thrilled because, I mean,

80
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 8: he was on the field and played.

81
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 10: Well well, this is going to be a blockbuster secondary

82
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 10: if he is on the field, that is the big if.

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 10: Since twenty twenty one, he is only played in fifty

84
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 10: percent of the possible games he could have played him,

85
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 10: that's obviously not good and that is why he is

86
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 10: coming at such a very low price. This is really

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 10: a not just a low risk move for the Ravens.

88
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 10: It's really no risk move. The money is very very

89
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 10: reasonable and the upside if he is on the field

90
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 10: is tremendous. They have made a lot of moves to

91
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 10: shore up the secondary. It was the weak spot of

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 10: the team last year. They were thirty first in past defense.

93
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 10: Last season. It got better in the second half of

94
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 10: the season. They made some adjustments in the secondary, but

95
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 10: certainly it was a problem. So doing everything that the

96
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 10: Ravens can do to shore up that part of the

97
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 10: defense makes a lot of sense. Consider the quarterbacks they

98
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 10: have to face. They have to face 's Burrow twice

99
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 10: a year. Now they're going to be facing Aaron Rodgers

100
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 10: twice this season, and then you get into the playoffs,

101
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 10: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, all of those kinds of quarterbacks.

102
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 10: So you want to do as much as you can

103
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 10: for the secondary. Again, this all comes down to will

104
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 10: Jaiyir Alexander.

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 11: Be available When he is available? He is a Pro

106
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 11: Bowl caliber cornerback. When he is not available, well, we

107
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 11: will see what happens.

108
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: A former Pro Bowl player coming off of a very

109
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: weird year taking a one year, low money deal in Baltimore.

110
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: That could be Jerr Alexander.

111
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Could also be DeAndre Hopkins, who is now a member

112
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: of the Ravens on a one year contract. Really sounds

113
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: like so far he's enjoying working with some of those

114
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: other young Ravens receivers.

115
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 12: It feels good, you know, playing with with two good receivers.

116
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 12: You know, those guys they want to be great and

117
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 12: they're going to be great. You know, they definitely have

118
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 12: a high ceiling.

119
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 13: You know.

120
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 12: I'm here to help. You know, however, I can you know,

121
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 12: going out just you know, showing those guys certain things

122
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 12: and just communicating with them, you know things. We're all

123
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 12: three different receivers, which is unique and cool.

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Let's bring in our Cameron Wolf to the conversation. Cam,

125
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: as we know, well, it's not just the Ravens receivers,

126
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: it's the tight ends, it's the running backs led by

127
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: Derek Hender here, there's a lot of different weapons. How

128
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: do you envision this offense coming together in Baltimore?

129
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 14: Yeah, Tom, I spoke with the rival NFL exec today

130
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 14: after that Jay years Alexander move and he mentioned this

131
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 14: is the most talented Ravens team. He's sending Lamar Jackson

132
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 14: era and so as we hear DeAndre Hopkins talk about

133
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 14: the trio of different weapons. Remember all those years we

134
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 14: talked about not having enough weapons. The Ravens have enough.

135
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 14: Now Lamar has enough and it's time. And I love

136
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 14: what Lamar said earlier this week about coming back with

137
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 14: a vengeance, because this is a team that's been on

138
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 14: the heels of getting over that hump.

139
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 9: They made the playoffs.

140
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 14: I was there in that game against Buffalo last season

141
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 14: where they were Mark Andrews drop a Mark Andrew Funk

142
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 14: fumble for potentially beating the Bills and getting to the

143
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 14: AFC Championship game. And you think about DeAndre Hopkins in

144
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 14: that room. You know, he's a guy who wants that

145
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 14: last step, wants that last championship. He's not the number

146
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 14: one receiver anymore, but he's got those tough, tight hands

147
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 14: in the red zone that maybe could have helped them

148
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 14: in Buffalo last year, and he's already finding that role.

149
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 14: Save Flowers will be there one. You mentioned the duo

150
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 14: of tight ends and Rashad Bateman who just got paid,

151
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 14: and DeAndre Hopkins can be that red zone threat for him. Look,

152
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 14: you got to remember DeAndre Hopkins is still the active

153
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 14: leader in receiving yards. He was that bet option for

154
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 14: the Chiefs to help their young receivers and they're already

155
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 14: having that bond with Lamar. And So we're going to

156
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 14: talk about this Ravens team once again as a championship contender,

157
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 14: and they've got more AMMO than they've ever had to

158
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 14: finally try to get over the hump.

159
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about DeAndre Hopkins and we're shot. Bateman

160
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: joins the show in just a little bit, really excited

161
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: about his new teammate. Certainly sounds like Poka Nakula also

162
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: enjoying having Devonte Adams around.

163
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 7: It's been absolutely fantastic every time we get on the

164
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 7: football field. He's so willing and open to everybody to

165
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 7: talk and communicate, and he's seen so many different things.

166
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 7: The ability to win against negative leverage, the ability to

167
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 7: move people out the line of scrimmage, and one understanding

168
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 7: how coverage is, but then how you move beast on

169
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 7: the football field. I wish I could have the exact

170
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 7: same skill set as DeVante Adams, but being able to

171
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 7: try to communicate and allow me to kind of add

172
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 7: things to my toolbox that fit my skill set, because

173
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 7: I like to think I'm a basketball player, but we're

174
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 7: not the exact same person. But he's been absolutely great

175
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 7: to be on there.

176
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: Cam.

177
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: If you were able to listen to Pooka and not

178
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: wonder if he changed his number again, this time to

179
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: number twenty three. Here certainly sounds like he've used DeVante

180
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: Adams not just a really good player, but somebody that

181
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: can help him as well. What's the fit going to

182
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: be like from what you understand with DeVante Adams joining

183
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: that Rams offense.

184
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 14: Yeah, versatility, that's going to be a huge element of

185
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 14: his Rams offense with DeVante Adams and Puka Nicole. You

186
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 14: just heard Pooka discuss what he's learning from DeVante Adams

187
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 14: and humility from another elite receiver. I know they've worked

188
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 14: a lot in practices before practice on releases and Adams

189
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 14: teaching Pooka different new releases where he can beat pressman coverage,

190
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 14: something that Devonte Adams is a lead at. From what

191
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 14: I understand, the Rams want to use Adams as really

192
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 14: a true X receiver who can move around the lineup.

193
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 14: And he's a guy who obviously can win outside with

194
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 14: that deep ball with Matthew Stafford as we're seeing some

195
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 14: of his success with the Jets, but they could also

196
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 14: put him in the slot, which allows Pooka to be

197
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 14: more versatile with his playmaking ability. And people always think

198
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 14: about the Jets ten year. Obviously didn't go well last year,

199
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 14: but Adams still had over a thousand yards. This is

200
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 14: a guy who was still a top level receiver who

201
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 14: is hungry. And I did think one interesting nugget of

202
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 14: just hearing Adams talk is talk about having a quarterback

203
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 14: like Matthew Stafford with the armstring. He talked about a

204
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 14: lot of quarterbacks having clear out routes. He said, there's

205
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 14: no clear out routes with Matthew Stafford. And so I

206
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 14: know if I'm going deep on a boundary, I'm still

207
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 14: in play for him down the field. And so I

208
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 14: can't wait to see Sean mcvay's creativity with Puka, with

209
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 14: DeVante and how explosive this Rams offense can be.

210
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: Cam tremendous stuff. More from you as this show rolls

211
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: on and is back next week. This seems to be

212
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the theme of the show tonight. Older players, some of them

213
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: in new places, one back in the only place that

214
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: he has ever been. Travis Kelce, after some initial thoughts

215
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: about his future, decided to return four year thirteen, and

216
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: he might not be going anywhere anytime soon.

217
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: I got one year on this contract, I know that,

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: and we'll try and figure out something for next year.

219
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 3: The Chiefs organization knows how much I love him. I

220
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: can't see myself ever playing anywhere else. So we'll deal

221
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 3: with that down the road when the time is right.

222
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: But right now, I'm focused one in the championship this year.

223
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: You know, I'm getting older, but at the same time,

224
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 3: I still feel like I got a lot that I

225
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: can prove in this league. And with that being said, man,

226
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: it was it really wasn't that hard of a decision

227
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: for me.

228
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: Travis Kelce turns thirty six in October. Judy, that's the

229
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: first time I think that we've heard him even broach

230
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: the idea that after this year there might be something

231
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: more for him. He looks a little bit different physically here.

232
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: The question is what version of Travis kelceer the Chief's

233
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: going to get here in twenty twenty five.

234
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 10: Well, I thought that he sounded quite definitive there. He

235
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 10: was even saying like, well, I don't want to play

236
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 10: for another team after this season. So he certainly sounds

237
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 10: like he thinks that he's got more than one season left.

238
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 10: It's not surprising that he thinks he still has something

239
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 10: to prove to the league. Last year was obviously not

240
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 10: a great season. Career lows ninety seven receptions is still

241
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 10: a respectable number, but it's not a Travis Kelce number.

242
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 10: Only eight hundred and twenty three yards and only three touchdowns,

243
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 10: So you're just not getting those explosive type of plays

244
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 10: like we used to see from Travis Kelce, and certainly

245
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 10: not the touchdown production that we're used to from Travis Kelce.

246
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 10: One thing to keep in mind, not only does his

247
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 10: physique look a little bit slimmer, but last year they

248
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 10: went through, if you remember, an absolute avalanche of injuries

249
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 10: to their wide receivers, which really allowed defenses to keep

250
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 10: very easily on on Travis Kelce because there wasn't much

251
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 10: else for Patrick Mahomes to rely on there. And so

252
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 10: you do wonder if with the wide receiver unit intact,

253
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 10: with the skill position players healthy and on the field,

254
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 10: if that will open things up a little bit more

255
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 10: for Kelsey. We're probably not ever going back to the

256
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 10: Travis Kelce of five years ago, but certainly the lack

257
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 10: of production that we saw last season, and especially in

258
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 10: the playoffs where he was really a non factor, you

259
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 10: have to think that he's probably still capable, if he's healthy,

260
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 10: of giving a little bit more than that, and that's

261
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 10: probably enough for the Kansas City Chiefs.

262
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, Travis Kelce to be effective for the Kansassey Chiefs

263
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 8: doesn't need to be the Kelsey from five years ago.

264
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 8: It just needs to be the guy then when they

265
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 8: got to have it, when they got to move the chains, they.

266
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: Need a touchdown.

267
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 8: Whatever it is for Patrick Mahomes that he is the

268
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 8: guy and will be open as he usually is. You know,

269
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 8: there's an old adage that when a player starts considering retirement,

270
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 8: usually that means they retire. Right, I feel like that's

271
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 8: not actually the case. I mean, players are pretty thoughtful now, right.

272
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 8: I mean, Travis Kelce obviously consider retirement given his age,

273
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 8: that makes sense. Given the fact that he can make

274
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 8: more money off the field than he can on the field,

275
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 8: that also makes sense. But once he decided that he

276
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 8: wanted to come back, this is a guy who is

277
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 8: clearly all in. I mean, in fact, when it became

278
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 8: clear that he was in fact playing, he was busy

279
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 8: making his plans to start training, to start grinding and

280
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 8: getting back to the Kelsey that he needs to be

281
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 8: to be effective on the field. It is okay that

282
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 8: he wasn't sure, because certainly seems like he is all

283
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 8: in right now.

284
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Despite all the challenges last season, the Chiefs won. I

285
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: believe they are seven hundredth consecutive AFC West title.

Speaker 10: if not the best division in the NFL. Sent three

Speaker 10: teams to the playoffs last season, and we know that

298
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,280

00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 10: So let's start with the Chicago Bears, very very active

Speaker 10: offseason for them. Make the case for and against for

306

Speaker 10: the Chicago Bears.

307
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 15: Well, I think that it starts with what they have

308
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 15: done to build around Caleb Williams.

309
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 5: We started all seventeen games last year. I'll be not

310
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 5: very successful. However, you go.

311
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 15: Out and acquire Ben Johnson and his offensive mind and

312
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 15: his system and his creativity. You every quarterback once a

00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 15: coach that can do that for him. I think Ben

314
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 15: is more than capable. Can't wait to see what it

315
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 15: looks like. Then you go out in free agency and

316
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 15: you'd just go acquire you know, whether it's Joe Tooney,

317
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 15: Drew Dollmon, Jonah Jackson, build the offensive line in the interior.

318
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 15: And then go to the draft and you go out

319
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 15: and get the number one tight ending Boston love him.

320
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 15: You out and get Luther Burton in the slat. You

321
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 15: go out and get Ozzie Trepel in the first three

322
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 15: picks of their draft, and you say, let's give Caleb

323
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 15: every opportunity to be successful. Last year, Caleb was sacked

324
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 15: and the NFL worst sixty eight times. You know, Jared

325
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 15: got with Ben Johnson, now on Detroit. The most he

326
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 15: was ever sat in a season was thirty one times

327
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 15: last year. So if you could just cut those sacks

328
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 15: from sixty eight and half and keep them on the

329
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 15: field and give him a better offensive line, more weapons,

330
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 15: I got to believe that they're going to have success

331
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 15: just with that that changes and those changes by themselves.

332
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 16: All awesome points, Baldy. I just can they beat the Packers.

333
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 16: I mean, you're going to know the progress that the

334
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 16: Chicago Bears make when they actually beat the Green Bay Packers,

335
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 16: which leads me to.

336
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,359
Speaker 11: Them, and it's kind of shocking.

337
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 16: Guys, because they finished third in the division, but they

338
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 16: go eleven and six and they go to the playoffs

339
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 16: and the bloodbath that we all witnessed in the race

340
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 16: to the finish with this NFC North. But for the

341
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 16: Green Bay Packers to get over this hump, which you know,

342
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 16: Matt Lafleur has been outstanding as the head coach. He's

343
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 16: three and five in the postseason, and they want to

344
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 16: make that next step, and I think it starts with

345
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 16: their quarterback Jordan Love. His numbers declined down the stretch

346
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 16: last season. Remember they lost their last three games, two

347
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 16: regular season games and then that wild card again the

348
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 16: Philadelphia Eagles.

349
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: Those numbers declined.

350
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 16: Obviously, injuries like Christian Watson happened, but they're looking simply

351
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 16: for him to be more consistent at every level, first level,

352
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 16: second level, third level offensively, and they've added pieces to

353
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 16: help him do that. I mentioned Christian, he'll be back

354
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 16: sometime in the fall from that ACL tear. But you

355
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 16: add Matthew Golden, Saveon Williams. Two rookies. One's got a

356
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 16: lot of speed, one is kind of.

357
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: A jack of all trades.

358
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 16: They add Nkole Hardman, who's got that Super Bowl pedigree.

359
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 16: And as you see some great draft footage right there

360
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 16: of the young man Matthew Golden and certainly i'm Marshaun

361
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 16: Lloyd in the backfield doo we didn't see play basically

362
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 16: last season because of injury. He will compliment Jacobs, Josh Jacobs,

363
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 16: and let's try to replicate if you're the Green Bay

364
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 16: Packers the fifth best rushing offense defensively, Jeff Hafley, Guys,

365
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 16: he's going to be a head.

366
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 11: Coach in the NFL at some point. He is a

367
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 11: great leader.

368
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 16: They got to have a better pass rush up front

369
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 16: through Lucas Vann and those guys. He has to have

370
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 16: some improvements heading into twenty twenty five so they can

371
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 16: kind of unleash up front and do some of the

372
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 16: things with the secondary that half likes to do.

373
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 10: All right, Stacey mentioned that this was a race to

374
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 10: the finish in this division, Balding. It was the Vikings

375
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 10: who took the Detroit Lions all the way to the

376
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 10: final game of the regular season, and of course the

377
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 10: Vikings made the biggest possible change this offseason. Make the

378
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 10: case for the Minnesota Vikings.

379
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 15: Well, okay, school brother, here we go. I mean, they

380
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 15: won fourteen games last year. Now, let's just look what

381
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 15: they have been busy doing. They have upgraded the trenches

382
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 15: on both sides of the ball. You look at a defense

383
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 15: right there. Javon Hargrave, Jonathan Allen joins the defense at

384
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 15: Bryan Flores, helped design and also time for the league

385
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 15: league with thirty three takeaways. So now you give the

386
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 15: ball back to this offense, all right, and you say, okay,

387
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 15: the question mark with this offense, even in the horrible

388
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 15: playoff loss to the Rams was sam Donold was sacked

389
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 15: nine times and he was hit twelve times.

390
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 5: By the Rams. Well, Christian Darisol comes back. He's a

391
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 5: pole row left eckle.

392
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 15: You go out and you draft Jackson out of Ohio State,

393
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 15: you get Ryan Kelly and will Freeze, you build up

394
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 15: the offensive line. That's what you should do.

395
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 5: Now.

396
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 17: J J.

397
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: McCarthy has to deliver. But I got to believe that.

398
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 5: I think we.

399
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 15: All kind of recognize that Kevin O'Connell is a special coach.

400
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 5: And I know he's just not going to throw him

401
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 5: out there.

402
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 15: He expects probably some struggles early, at least early on,

403
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 15: but he's got a good offensive mine, he's got good design.

404
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 15: He's going to have a world class offensive line in

405
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 15: front of him, and a heck of a back behind.

406
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 5: To turn to handle the ball off to, and maybe the.

407
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 15: Three as good a receivers as you're going to find

408
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 15: out there in what they have on the outside. This

409
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 15: is a very very good team, very well coached. They

410
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 15: didn't lose coaches. They really beefed up their their trenches.

411
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 15: This team's gonna be highly competitive. The question mark is

412
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 15: what is JJ McCarthy going to look like? We've been

413
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 15: saying it, but it's just a They drafted him to

414
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 15: be the guy now he gets a chance to show it.

415
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 15: And oh, by the way, their very first game at

416
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 15: Soldier Field Monday night in Chicago. I'm sure Stacey will

417
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 15: be there right on the sidelines giving us the up

418
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 15: to dates right there.

419
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 5: Right before kicko.

420
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, very likely.

421
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 16: And how about JJ McCarthy getting Christian darisol Baldy and

422
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 16: Judy back house his blindside protector. It's just a massive

423
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 16: read after his injury.

424
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 11: It's crazy to me that.

425
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 16: I'm in Detroit last year, right in week eighteen and

426
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 16: the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings are playing for

427
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 16: the division, first in the division, and it's remarkable. The

428
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 16: Lions go fifteen and two. Obviously they knock the Vikings

429
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 16: off in that game at fourteen and three for the

430
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 16: Minnesota Vikings until somebody does dethrone the Detroit Lions. This

431
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 16: is the one to chase in the division right now.

432
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 11: There's so many.

433
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 16: Changes, as we alluded to on the full screen as

434
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 16: we kind of jumped into this conversation, right a massive

435
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 16: overhaul with their coaching staff, and as you see Jared

436
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 16: Goff and all the success they had, they were the

437
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 16: number one scoring offense in football, they were the number

438
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 16: two total defense, excuse me, total offense in football. They

439
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 16: were brilliant offensively, but they have a new offensive coordinator.

440
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 16: Johnny Morton has spent time. He's been there in Detroit

441
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 16: before he took off and went to Denver to help

442
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 16: Sean Payton kind of take things over there. But he's

443
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 16: back and he's the new offensive coordinator. And my hope

444
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 16: for this team is, let's not change too much. He's

445
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 16: going to have some of his own terminology, but this

446
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 16: thing has to evolve and grow and continue as sending

447
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 16: on some of those you know, the formula that we

448
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 16: saw Ben Johnson have again, new terminology is going to

449
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 16: be there, and they're going to have to change a

450
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 16: few things based upon It's a new person calling the plays,

451
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 16: but I think you got to keep things similar. And

452
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 16: I also think that Frank Ragnow, the loss of Frank

453
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 16: Ragnow in the.

454
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 11: Middle is crucial.

455
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 16: I have a lot of faith in Hank Fraley is

456
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 16: one of the best offensive line coaches. Baldy, I see

457
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 16: you nodding your head in football. But it'll be interesting

458
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 16: to see which combinations they bring forth in training camp.

459
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 11: I kind of have Tate.

460
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: Ratledge, the rookie out of Georgia circled.

461
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 16: Maybe to move over from guard and step in there eventually,

462
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 16: but that's going to be an important spot for Jared

463
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 16: Goff because it's been one of the best offensive lines

464
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 16: in football.

465
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 11: I didn't even get to the defense, but I can't

466
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:19,920

491
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,080

492
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: What was your reaction?

493
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 18: I mean that was that was big news for like

494
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 18: all of us, I would say, I mean definitely top

495
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 18: you know defender, you know dB in the league, and

496
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 18: I think he could come in and help us right away.

497
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 18: I think we still conting and put pieces together right now,

498
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 18: and you know, we can definitely look forward to it.

499
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 8: You know, if you take a look at your secondary now,

500
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 8: and you're going to take a really good look at them,

501
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 8: because you're going to see a lot of these guys

502
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 8: in practice.

503
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 2: In training camp.

504
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 8: You got Marlon Humphrey, you got Wiggins, you got Malachi Starks,

505
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 8: now I got Kyle Hamilton, and now you've got JayR Alexander.

506
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 9: What is this secondary gonna be like? Do you think

507
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 9: in games.

508
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 5: Then what's it.

509
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 8: Gonna be like for you guys having to battle them

510
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 8: in practice every day?

511
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 18: I mean in practice it's definitely gonna be on battle.

512
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 18: I mean it's always about you know, this defense here

513
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 18: is tough, and you know, Adamsyre to the group definitely

514
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 18: gonna make us better. And you know, going out, you know,

515
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 18: putting Gyre in the middle about defense with the guys

516
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 18: that we've got now, I think it's gonna be fun

517
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 18: to see. It gonna be some Revens football.

518
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: So two years in a row, we've gotten to do

519
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: a Rashad Bateman new contract story here on the Insiders

520
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: this time around. Obviously you're coming off of a big season.

521
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: You showed again what you did all those years in Minnesota,

522
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: the big play threat you can be. Tell me about

523
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: signing that three year extension, what that meant for you

524
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: and what that you hope means for the rest of

525
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: your career.

526
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 18: I mean, it means a lot. It's an honor, you know,

527
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 18: I take it with respect. Know it's a lot of

528
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 18: hard working you know, uh, dark days where that come from.

529
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 18: And you know, I'm excited to be here and it

530
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 18: shows that organization, you know, believes in me. You know,

531
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 18: you know what I've done and what I continue to

532
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 18: do and shows that my teammates believe me as well.

533
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 18: So you know, I'm excited to be here and hopefully

534
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 18: I could continue to you know, keep stacking these days

535
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 18: and building off that.

536
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 8: You have had some ups, ups and downs since you've

537
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 8: been in Baltimore, obviously far more ups recently really really

538
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 8: clicked over the past couple of years. I would say,

539
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 8: was there a moment for you when you went from

540
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 8: like maybe I'm not so sure of things like all right,

541
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 8: Baltimore is my home and I'm gonna I'm gonna be

542
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 8: able to sign a big time extension to stay.

543
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 18: I mean, that's always in my mind said, it's never

544
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 18: really changed, you know what I'm saying. No matter like

545
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 18: what I went through, I was always praying and hoping

546
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 18: that it worked out here. It's a lot of love

547
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 18: and respect that comes with the team that like drafted you,

548
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 18: and you know, I wanted to, you know, flip that

549
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 18: narrative of receivers here, and I definitely think they want to,

550
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 18: you know, the right track of doing that. We're not

551
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 18: really looking for nobody else validation, but you know, it

552
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 18: feels good, you know somewhat, you know, be in the

553
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 18: midst now and you know headed down that you know

554
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 18: right track.

555
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: Yesterday, your quarterback Lamar Jackson was asked about looking a

556
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: little bit skinnier, and he said, you know, don't don't

557
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: say skinny, say that look in shape.

558
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 2: I look fit. How do you see do you physically?

559
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: And also from what you're seeing with one of the

560
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: most dynamic players in the league on the field here this.

561
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 18: Spring, I mean, everybody looks good right now. I mean

562
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 18: they we just got done with mini camping. I mean

563
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 18: everybody looked fast, strong, powerful, and you know you could

564
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 18: tell that everybody's eager to get back to work. And

565
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 18: you know, Chase his ring. But Lamar, it's funny to

566
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 18: say that he does a little skinnier and quicker and faster.

567
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 18: So the league gets in trouble per usual.

568
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 8: Right I mean, Lamar looking great and electric is news,

569
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 8: But it's also basically what's been the case for the

570
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 8: multi time MVP for the last several years. You guys

571
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 8: on offense, just like you just did on defense, had

572
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 8: a significant veteran addition this year with DeAndre Hopkins. You know,

573
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 8: multi time and Probowl really one of the better technicians,

574
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 8: uh and pass catchers we've seen over the course of

575
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 8: the last decade. What has his addition been like for you,

576
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 8: either on the field, off the field, or I guess both.

577
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 18: I mean you could just definitely tell that you know,

578
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 18: he's been in a game a while and you know,

579
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 18: done a lot of you know, great things, and a

580
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 18: lot of people you know, respect what he has done

581
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 18: and you know what he brings to the table. But

582
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 18: as far as ll right now, he's been a very good,

583
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 18: you know, veteran for us, you know, giving all of

584
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 18: us advice, not even just myself. He's been very vocal

585
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 18: about it.

586
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 5: And we you know, all of.

587
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 18: Us are you know, much younger, so we all you know,

588
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 18: ears open, you know, taking in all advice we can

589
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 18: get from him. He's done great things, and you know,

590
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 18: so we hopefully, you know, we could take that add

591
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 18: into our game, you know, added to our personalities to

592
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 18: help his team. But he's been good for us, and

593
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 18: I know he's gonna be big for us in the season.

594
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 2: Right Rashid.

595
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: You guys are in that rare position in the NFL

596
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: where every year people just kind of go into the

597
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: season expecting the Ravens are going to be there at

598
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: the end right divisional playoffs, AFC Championship game, You're.

599
00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: Going to be in the mix.

600
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: How do you balance the task ahead to make sure

601
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: that you are in that mix again while also trying

602
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: to figure out what it is that it's going to

603
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: take to get beyond that and get to a super Bowl.

604
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 18: I think for us, man, we just got to continue

605
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 18: to focus on another thing.

606
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: Get better.

607
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 5: You know.

608
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 18: We we know that we can you know, be in

609
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 18: those games. We have been in those games, and you know,

610
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 18: as a you know, a football player, as athlete, I

611
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 18: just think we got to go out and finish. You know,

612
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 18: we got to you know, clean up what we need

615
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 6: Uh.

616
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 18: It's a lot of areas that you know, we fail dead.

617
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 18: You know we can be better at, but you know,

618
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 18: get in there. You know, it's not the problem. You know,

619
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 18: it's just kind of you know, continuing to you know,

620
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 18: do the little things right as far as you know,

Speaker 9: A good friend.

756
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 8: Jadar Police has put out his old rookie team on

757
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 8: NFL dot Com. Haven't played a game yet, Perfect time

758
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 8: for an all rookie team, and what really is a

759
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 8: star studded rookie class? So tons of players with high hopes,

760
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 8: and we'll get into it a little bit right now.

761
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 8: Welcome back in Judabatista, of course, with our good friend

762
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 8: Bucky Brooks.

763
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 9: Judy, I will start with you. Let's get to a

764
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 9: little not so too early predictions from you. Who is

765
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 9: going to be the offensive Rookie of the Year.

766
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 11: Well, I think it's going to be Travis Hunter.

767
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 10: First of all, the fascination with him is going to

768
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 10: be immense all season long.

769
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 11: It seems clear that, at least initially.

770
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 10: The Jaguars are going to have him playing primarily as

771
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 10: a wide receiver, and that's really good news for him.

772
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 10: He was the best wide receiver in the class. He

773
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 10: joins a team that has Brian Thomas already on it,

774
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 10: and so defenses are not going to be able to

775
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 10: key completely on stopping Travis Hunter. They also have a

776
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 10: new head coach who is intent on getting Trevor Lawrence

777
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 10: comfortable and getting him going again. So I think that

778
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 10: all lines up for Travis Hunter. And why do I

779
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 10: think he's going to get the award? Well, frankly, I

780
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 10: think we haven't seen a true two way player in

781
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 10: the NFL play both positions close to full time in

782
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 10: so long that I think there's going to be a

783
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 10: desire by award voters to award him with something, and

784
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 10: if he's playing primarily offensive, that's.

785
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 11: Going to be the award sense.

786
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 6: Look, that's going to be a very popular choice when

787
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 6: you think about Travis Hunter and the opportunities that he's

788
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 6: going to have, but Aston Gentz's going to have plenty

789
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 6: of opportunities to be the bill cow for the Las

790
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 6: Vegas Raiders. You go back and look at Pikr's history

791
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 6: with the running backs. He wants to feed the pig.

792
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 6: He wants to make sure that Aston Gentzy has enough

793
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 6: carries to really be able to stabilize this offense. And

794
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 6: even though Gino Smith is going to be able to

795
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 6: throw the ball all over the yard where brought Bowers

796
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 6: primarily be in the target.

797
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: I just think Aston Genty is.

798
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 6: Going to be a guy that we're talking about at

799
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 6: twelve to thirteen hundred yards maybe ten plus touchdowns, being

800
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 6: the featured back in an offense that's going to revolve

801
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 6: around the running back.

802
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 5: Give us him an opportunity to.

803
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 11: Walk away with the Offensive Rookie of the Year award

804
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 11: this season.

805
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 9: If that's true, there's gonna be a ton of future

806
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 9: fantasy owners. You're going to be very, very excited about that.

807
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 8: Okay, Bucky, we'll stick with you. What about Defensive Rookie

808
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 8: of the Year.

809
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, look, Judy took my offensive Rookie of

810
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 6: the Year that I would have put on defense as

811
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 6: a defensive Rookie of the Year. So I'm gonna go

812
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 6: to Baltimore and I'm going to Malachi Starts because with

813
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 6: JayR Alexander joining the Baltimore Ravens, there's gonna be plenty

814
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 6: of chances for Malachi Starts to get his hands on

815
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 6: the ball on tips and overthrows.

816
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 5: I now look at this.

817
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 6: Secondary as maybe the best secondary in football. It was

818
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 6: a young player who is so good at anticipating throws,

819
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 6: who has the range to play in the deep middle,

820
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 6: but also can come down in the box.

821
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 5: He is going to have a.

822
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 6: Chance to make so many plays. With Kyle Hamilton on

823
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 6: one side, Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, and then Yarry Alexander Man,

824
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 6: Malachat Starks is going to be the biggest beneficiary of

825
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 6: any young defender. That's why he could walk away with

826
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 6: a Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

827
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 10: I think the award is going to go to the

828
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 10: Giant's rookie edge of Bill Carter. First of all, he's

829
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 10: already being compared to Michael Parsons for potential impact immediately.

830
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 10: He's also joining a defensive front that has plenty of

831
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 10: other players. Cape On Thibadeau, Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence that

832
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 10: opposing offenses are going to have to account for. Coaches

833
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 10: have an awful lot to work with with that group,

834
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 10: and they will be able to move out Bill Carter around.

835
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 11: I think he's going to get opportunities.

836
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 10: To get sex, and that's what you need to get

837
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 10: a defensive player Rookie of the Year award.

838
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 8: Good stuff, both of you, guys. Judy stay right there, Bucky,

839
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 8: thank you very much. As always, NFL dot com slash

841
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 9: Oh God, why are we showing Baldi with the Stanley Cup?

842
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: Why?

843
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess you could also say, why do

844
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 8: we not show Baldi with the Stanley Cup?

845
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 9: Was shown everywhere with Sharks with Stanley Cup?

846
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 13: What is next?

847
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 9: I have no idea. Stay tuned and find out.

848
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: Loyal viewers of the Insiders.

849
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: I remember that Brian Baldeer was for some reason hanging

850
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: out with Wayne Gretzky recently, well, the Stanley Cup finals

851
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: wrapped up last night, I'm told and Farrells with Baldi

852
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: be been partying with the Stanley Cup. Now there's a

853
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: lot of questions this shot raises, but the biggest question

854
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: is later when the Stanley Cup was seen damaged and dented.

855
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: Is it possible, Judy, that Baldi's presents had something.

856
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: To do with this?

857
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 10: I thank god, I hope so that is on the

858
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 10: balcony of the Elbow Room, which anybody who grew up

859
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 10: in South Florida can tell you about among them, I

860
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 10: hope that that is where Baldy was.

861
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 2: With the cup.

862
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 11: Amaze, this is just amazing. I'm speechless.

863
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 8: I really like Judy calling to a chance of the

864
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 8: fact that the Stanley Cup is hanging out in the

865
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 8: place where she used to party when she was younger.

866
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 8: That's a great nod and I respect all of it.

867
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 8: You know why, because summer is upon us and it

868
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 8: is in fact time to party. In the fact that

869
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 8: Baldy and the Cup are doing.

870
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,520
