1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: Have you ever dated someone for a good chunk of 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: time and felt like I can't tell if we're actually 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: in a relationship. Nothing Facebook official yet for the Bengals 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: and Jamar Chase, but at least he dressed up for 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: their lunch date today, two days away. 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: From the first NFL game in Brazil. 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: The Eagles are on their way, so are the Packers. 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: R Jane Slater already on the ground. 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: Shall give us some more Sal Paulo dining tips, maybe 10 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: a few nuggets about that game as well. 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: The weight is over, folks. 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty four season kicks off tomorrow. 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: All thirty two teams in action this week. 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: Even the most reserved coach in the NFL can't help 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: but being a little bit fired up. 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: This he's over like you. 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 3: Look out it No, no, it's it's well, you are 18 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 3: now on video this up. 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 2: You always have the butterflies, then. 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 4: You always have the butterflies when you go out there. 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: I mean, it's opening to day in the NFL, so 22 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: different than when you were. 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: Tonight. 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: We are all a little bit Todd Bowles Welcome inside 25 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: with the Insiders alongside Ian Rappaport, Juni Battista and Mike Garafalo. 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: I'm Tom Pelicero, and it's exciting. 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 4: It's exciting. 28 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: We got football tomorrow. I got you, Todd. You're not 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: the only one who's gonna get beamed out of this 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: whole thing. 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: The Ravens and the Chiefs kicking off Thursday night in 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: Kansas City. Every team across the league has games in 33 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: the coming days. If you're an NFL fan, this is 34 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: your time. But first, we still do have a little 35 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: bit of business to wrap up, and it starts out 36 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, where Jamar Chase not only made yet another 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: dramatic walk across the street to the Bengals practice field, 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: he was out there running or least jogging. That's close 39 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: to full speed right there, the hold in at least 40 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: for the moment, on hold once again, and his quarterback says, 41 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: he's looking pretty good. 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, great having him back. 43 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 5: Great player, a guy that we need to be our best. 44 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 45 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 6: It's always been as a team first win, first kind 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 6: of guy. 47 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: That's the kind of guy that Jamar is, and you 48 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: want to reward those guys. 49 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: So the Bengals have made very clear ian publicly. Mike 50 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: Brown said it himself. They want to bend over backwards 51 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: to get the Jamar Chase deal done, and they stand 52 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: ready and willing to get it done now, even though, 53 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: unlike his buddy Justin Jefferson, unlike Ceedee Lamb, Jamar Chase 54 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: has two years left on his rookie contract. Here, it 55 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: certainly sounds like they have made some level of progress here. 56 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: There's a chance this deal gets done. It remains me 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: seeing though, whether it happens before Sunday, and in turn 58 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: they're not. 59 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 4: Jamar Chase is. 60 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: Actually continuing to be on the field. 61 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: And people love those videos of Jamar Chase walking out 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 4: to the practice. I actually tweeted, Jamar Chase is on 63 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 4: his way to practice first before anyone big scoop. Nobody 64 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 4: cared one bit because all they wanted was the videos 65 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 4: because we have come to love the dramatic walkouts from 66 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 4: Jamar Chase. Now, if and when he eventually does a 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 4: deal that would make him potentially the highest paid receiver 68 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: in the NFL, him walking out to practice will be 69 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 4: just a regular thing. Now at least is a thing. 70 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 4: So here is my understanding of where this all stands. 71 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: The Bancos have made significant offers to Jamar Chase. I 72 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 4: would say at least somewhat somewhat in the neighborhood of 73 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 4: what he wants. They do not have a deal yet. 74 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: They I wouldn't describe this as close, but I would 75 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: say it's at least close enough for Jamar Chase to practice. 76 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: That is a big deal. I know there's some optimism 77 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: that he looked good in practice, that he's potentially getting 78 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 4: ready to play all of the these good things. We 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 4: know that he wants to beat Justin Jefferson on his deal, 80 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 4: and Mike Brown said it was something that he believed 81 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 4: was unlikely. Where they are almost nearly kind of sort 82 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 4: of there. Can the Bengals get it over the I 83 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 4: guess goal line? We shall see. And then to your question, 84 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 4: if the Bengals don't get there, if they say this 85 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: is as far as we're going to go and it's 86 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 4: still not good enough, what does Jamar Chase do still 87 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 4: some potential drama through the course of this week. 88 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 7: Well, this was an important step today though the dramatic 89 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 7: walkout to practice in uniform. This was important that he 90 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 7: participated because, as you said, it certainly indicates that they 91 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 7: are close enough that he would at least practice, but 92 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 7: also because look, this is a team that has real, 93 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 7: very real Super Bowl aspirations. They've got their core group 94 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 7: together with Burrow, Chase and t Higgins still there and 95 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 7: this is the year to make a push. Joe Burrow 96 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 7: has talked a few times this summer about the in 97 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 7: fact he's never had a fully healthy training camp until 98 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 7: right now. So this team is primed to do what 99 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 7: it really hasn't done lately, and that is get out 100 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 7: of the gate very quickly and successfully and start mounting 101 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 7: that Super Bowl push. Don't forget it's important to have Chase. Yeah, 102 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 7: they played the New England Patriots in Week one, they 103 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 7: played the Kansas City Chiefs in Week two. They would 104 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 7: sure like to be at full strength by week two. 105 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 8: It's all about jamar Ches trying to ratchet up some 106 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 8: leverage right now. Time you talked about the two years 107 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 8: left on the deal, it can be done. It has 108 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 8: been done. It happens all the time. You guys do 109 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 8: deals with two years left on the deal. Now, if 110 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 8: you do a four year extension, now you're under contract 111 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 8: for six years out from right now. So the Bengals 112 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 8: right now are saying, well, we've got this year and 113 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 8: the next year at the fifth year option. Believe it 114 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 8: adds up to about twenty five million over two years. 115 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 8: So it's a question for jamar Ches of if you 116 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 8: want to reset the market, if you want to clear 117 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 8: justin Jefferson, if you want to get above thirty five, 118 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 8: let's say thirty six, at thirty seven, whatever you want 119 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 8: to do, that might have to wait till after the 120 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 8: season because then at that point, now you've got one 121 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 8: year left in the deal, and it's like, well, now 122 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 8: we really got you. Now we got you up against 123 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 8: the potential free agent year, which then they would have 124 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 8: the franchise tag at their disposal obviously, but. 125 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 9: That's why it's like, get the deal done now. 126 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 8: And I don't know that this has been said specifically, 127 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 8: but once we get to Sunday and they start playing, 128 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 8: it's like, well, I'm not going to redo that. They 129 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 8: could I mean, they could do it week two, Week three, 130 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 8: week four, they could do whatever they want. But this 131 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 8: is about trying to create the leverage and getting the 132 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 8: Bengals to act right now and say if you don't 133 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 8: act now, then we're going to see. 134 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 9: You in the offseason for another one a round of these. 135 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: You mentioned some of those players Mike who have gotten 136 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: new deals with two years remaining. Trevor Lawrence, who was 137 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: the number one pick in that twenty twenty one draft, 138 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: got his extension already. Jalen Wattle, who was another high 139 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: picking that draft, got one, and today the Broncos added 140 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: Patrick Sirtan, the second to the list. They paid their 141 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: star quarterback on a four year extensions worth ninety six 142 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: million dollars seventy seven point five million dollars guaranteed. And 143 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: if you're wondering in context how much money is that, 144 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: it is a lot. The top of that cornerback market 145 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: had really been stagnant for the past couple of years 146 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: since the Packers paid jy R. 147 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: Alexander. He was still the highest big corner until today. 148 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: Now, remember the Broncos have Patrick Shirtan under contract now 149 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: for the next six years. 150 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: Boy matters. 151 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: Here is the new Year's because you're doing this contract early. 152 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: It is in a reset on that cornerback market. In 153 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: Patrick Shirtan getting paid handsomely. 154 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 4: Oh Man, a massive, massive payday for Patrick Shirtan. You know, 155 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: the kind of jump that we rarely see. Reminds me 156 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 4: of when Jalen Ramsey got that five year, one hundred 157 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 4: million dollar deal. I believe it was twenty twenty, and 158 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 4: that was a more than three million dollar jump. This 159 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 4: is just as significant for Patrick Shartan the numbers you 160 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: saw it, I mean truly massive. Four years, ninety six million, 161 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: seventy seven point five million dollars guaranteed in the next 162 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 4: nine months he will make thirty nine point five million 163 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 4: dollars almost a comical amount. And look, you can make 164 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 4: the argument that the wide receiver salaries have for fair 165 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 4: not outpaced the salaries of the corners and the safeties 166 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 4: who actually cover them. Well, maybe now this corner market 167 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 4: is getting a little bit of a jump, a little 168 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: bit of a comeback, and maybe the salaries are going 169 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 4: to start inching closer. I know that is the goal, 170 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 4: especially of the people who play those positions, the people 171 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 4: who represent the people who play those positions. But if 172 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 4: you're the Denver Broncos believe you have a franchise quarterback 173 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 4: in bo Knicks, and man, you have a defensive lynchpin 174 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: locked up in Patrick Shirtan, there are. 175 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: A lot of questions a few years ago for Broncos 176 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: GM George Payton about taking Patrick Certan over the quarterback 177 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: Justin Fields, who went a couple picks later when the 178 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Bears traded up Hindsight twenty twenty on everything here, but 179 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: the Broncos got one of the best young players in 180 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: the entire NFL. They open up this weekend against the Seahawks. 181 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: The Cleve and Brown's open up this Sunday against the 182 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. There's been plenty of drama for the Cowboys. 183 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: Has also been a little bit for DeShawn Watson, who 184 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: today reiterated despite the fact that he didn't finish a 185 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: couple of practices in camp, despite the fact that he 186 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: was held out of the final preseason game, he said 187 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: there's never been any limitations his surgically repaired shoulder is fine. 188 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert also apparently fine, despite missing most of training 189 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: camp with a plantar fashion injury. He said today somewhat confusingly, 190 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: that it was not plantar fasciitis spott of mine. He 191 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: says he's one hundred percent, which is reflected in the Chargers' 192 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: injury report. Herbert not even listed going into their opener. 193 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 10: I think it was just one of those things that 194 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 10: I went in it was getting a little sore and 195 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 10: talked to him about it. But there wasn't really one 196 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 10: moment that I felt it happened. I came back got it. 197 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 10: But you know, I think over the past couple of 198 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 10: weeks of being out, you know, I did my best 199 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 10: to pick up as much as I could in meetings, 200 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 10: be out there and walk throughs, and do everything I 201 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 10: can to not miss a rep. You know, it's definitely tough, 202 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 10: but I felt like I was in great care with 203 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 10: the staff here. 204 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert missed several weeks Mike of training camp. He 205 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: was in a boot to stabilize that foot. He's obviously 206 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: been ramping up for in recent days here, and he 207 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: must not be getting treatment on the foot because the 208 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: Chargers aren't even listing him. Here's still a lot of 209 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: missed reps in a new scheme. What's your understanding of 210 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: the injury and how ready Justin Herbert is to hit 211 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: the ground running this weekend off. 212 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 8: The injury report doesn't mean that you're not dealing with 213 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 8: any pain. 214 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 9: We have seen that. 215 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 8: Remember that Quarterback series a year ago on Netflix where 216 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 8: Kirk Cousins talked about I believe it was rid pain 217 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 8: and he never really even showed up on the injury report. 218 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 8: We've seen this before. You're right, if you're getting treatment. 219 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 8: You're supposed to be listed on the injury report, but 220 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 8: it sounds like something he's going to have to deal with, 221 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 8: at least through the early part of the season. I'm 222 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 8: not I plan. Can you have a planner of fascion injury? 223 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 8: That's not planner fact, no idea. 224 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. 225 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 8: I just know that there's a plan profession injury or 226 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 8: a condition that he is dealing with, and that's why 227 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 8: they had to shelbum. 228 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 9: It has been improving from my understanding. 229 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 8: He's got his mobility, he's got everything. There are no 230 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 8: concerns with regard to his ability to do his job 231 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 8: from the Chargers, so they're hopeful that Justin Herbert out 232 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 8: in the field. 233 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 9: You're not gonna be watching. 234 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 8: The game, but oh boy, he's really laboring the expectations. 235 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 9: You're not going to see any of that, and they're 236 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 9: hopeful that Justin Herbert. 237 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 8: Is going to be effective and as effective as he 238 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 8: has always been for them at the quarterback position. 239 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: The Chargers take on the Raiders on Sunday. The Falcons 240 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: open up a new era against the Steelers, also in 241 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: their own way, going into. 242 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: A new era here. 243 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: It will be the game debut of Kirk Cousins, who 244 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: did not play in the preseason here Raheem Morris clearly 245 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: not a big believer in those preseason reps. Probably no 246 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: surprise given his history out there with the La Rams, 247 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: but this is significant for Cousins, thirty six years old, 248 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: coming off a torn achilles and sounds like he's actually 249 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: look looking forward to a little bit of contact. 250 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: Get popped. 251 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 11: I'll probably tell the first guy hits me, thank you 252 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 11: within reason. You know it's good. Get that taste of 253 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 11: blood in your mouth a little bit. So yeah, it's 254 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 11: a balance there. But no, there's no doubt Red Jersey 255 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 11: is not real football. I said that for a long time. 256 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 11: Red Jersey's not real football, and I understand why we 257 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 11: wear him, but there's no substitute for the real deal, 258 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 11: and we'll be seeing it Sunday. 259 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin's not even listed on the injury report either. 260 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: Neither are Deshaun Watson, Jacoby Wesset, tyreek Hill, Jayla Waller. 261 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: Jamier gives. 262 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: But these guys are, including one of Cousin's new teammates, 263 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: tight end Kyle Pitts, popping up a bit of a 264 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: surprise dealing with a hamstring injury. Raheem Morris downplayed that, 265 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: but certainly one to keep an eye on, especially NFO. 266 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't know you might have taken him in a 267 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: fantasy draft recently. I can tell you this, Patrick Mahomes, 268 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson are one hundred percent for Thursday nights opener. 269 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: That's right, the game tomorrow. There's real NFL football tomorrow. 270 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: Or can Lamar Jackson get a little revenge. 271 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: Even if he says it's not really revenge, you know 272 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: it would mean something, tortim. Let's talk about that game 273 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: right after this on the Insiders. 274 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 8: Where you've been the last couple of months, Folks, did 275 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 8: you not hear about the Friday night game, the second 276 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 8: game of the NFL season between the Eagles and the Packers. 277 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 8: If you didn't hear about it, you're gonna sit and 278 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 8: want to sit down here. 279 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 9: They're playing it in Brazil. That's the skyline you got 280 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 9: down there. 281 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 8: Our Jane Slater is down there already. 282 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 9: In Brazil giving us the lowdown on this game. Here 283 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 9: she is, Jane Slater, take it away. 284 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 12: We're about an hour or two away from the Eagles 285 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 12: and Packers landing here in sal Palo and as you 286 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 12: guys can imagine a lot of logistics going into getting 287 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 12: these teams down here. The biggest thing they know this 288 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 12: is a short turnaround for these teams, so they want 289 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 12: to make sure there is as little disruption to their 290 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 12: sleep and recovery as possible. So one of the big 291 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 12: things they did was reach out to airlines, and the 292 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 12: airlines provided two of what they consider their largest planes 293 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 12: in the fleet. They want to get as many players 294 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 12: as possible in their pod so they can lay down 295 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 12: and take a nap or at the very least elevate 296 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 12: their feet. Now, once they get here, they're all going 297 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 12: to bed. Thursday is going to be meetings, They've got 298 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 12: a final walk through at the stadium, and then they'll 299 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 12: have their final media availability. So let's get into the 300 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 12: matchups and what we can expect. Focusing on Jordan Love 301 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 12: and the Packers. Well, this was a team, as your remember, 302 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 12: that started off two to five and went on to 303 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 12: finish the season nine and eight overall, just three point 304 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 12: shy of the conference championship. What was the hold up 305 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 12: at the beginning of the season. I'm told they had 306 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 12: a really young receiving and Titans court really no veterans 307 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 12: to speak of. But by the end of it, they said, 308 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 12: these guys were acting like veterans, both on the field 309 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 12: and off the field. And in fact, they said they 310 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 12: know the offense so well now that they believe any 311 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 12: of those players can go up to the board and 312 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 12: draw up a play as good as any of the coaches. 313 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 12: They also truly believe that this is a team now 314 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 12: that is more prepared for what they're going to see 315 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 12: on the field. As for the Eagles, incredibly talented roster, 316 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 12: but last year they went on a ten to one 317 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 12: run before an epic collapse, losing their last five games 318 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 12: and failing to clinch the division. In the off season, 319 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 12: we saw them upgrade the defensive coordinator position with Vic Fangio, 320 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 12: and then they went out and got Kellen Moore on 321 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 12: offense to help with this team. Saquon Barkley a big 322 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 12: part of it, bringing in the running back. How good 323 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 12: has he looked? What was head coach Nick Sirianni this 324 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 12: week who said he pulled down his glasses after he 325 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 12: saw Barkley rip off a run and said, wow, that 326 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 12: was awesome. 327 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 8: Amazing detail there from Jane Slater. How about NFL teams 328 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 8: calling the airlines do you think they have to wait 329 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 8: on hold for forty minutes before they get through to somebody. 330 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: I wonder. 331 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 8: I wonder how Caleb Williams will look in his debut, 332 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 8: the number one overall pick for the Bears, set to 333 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 8: put what he showed in training camp and the preseason 334 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 8: on display. If he does one of those plays right there, 335 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 8: Scott Hansen's head might explode.

It is something to behold at this stage. 363 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 13: Can they put some wins together? Here are some things 364 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 13: they're expecting from Caleb Williams. Number One, trust the talent 365 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 13: around him, because there's a lot of it. Number Two, 366 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 13: be special when the moment rises, and he needs to 367 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 13: be special, and that's why they brought him in here. 368 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 13: And I would just say number three, be the leader 369 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 13: that got him voted as captain as a rookie, because 370 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 13: he has already earned the respect of his teammates. I actually, 371 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 13: Fellas asked him today what does it mean to be 372 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 13: voted a captain as a rookie as you embark upon 373 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 13: your career as the leader of the Chicago Bears, And 374 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 13: he said, I'm extremely grateful. I can't think of many 375 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 13: rookies with a team, especially this talented, that are voted 376 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 13: on as captain by their teammates, so it's really special. 377 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 13: He did talk about some of that special talent around him, 378 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 13: including he mentioned the top five he believes defense that 379 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 13: the Chicago. 380 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 4: Bears will have. 381 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 13: The other thing, Fellas, he's got going and as I 382 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 13: get ready to wrap it and throw it to you, 383 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 13: Bucky on what you expect from Kayleb Williams is he's 384 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 13: got a really innovative offensive coordinator in Shane Waldron. And 385 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 13: I asked the head coach, Mattie Brifflus today what he 386 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 13: has specifically liked about Shane Waldron and his development of 387 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 13: these players in this offense, and he told me he's 388 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 13: just been an outstanding teacher all the reasons they brought 389 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 13: him in. Great communicator, works well with the players, knows 390 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 13: their skill sets, and his teaching methods are very clear 391 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 13: and concise. What does that tell you? And what why 392 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 13: do I share it? I think he's going to have 393 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 13: them really prepared for a brand new Bucky defensive coordinator 394 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 13: in Dinard Wilson with these Tennessee Titans incoming Soldier Field 395 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 13: on Sunday. But they're going to have to figure some 396 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 13: things out in game because they haven't seen him before. 397 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 4: What are you looking for? 398 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 6: You know, Stacey, I love all the commentary that you've 399 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 6: give him talking about Shane Waldron and Caleb Williams and 400 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 6: the maturity that Kayleb Williams has displayed and earning the 401 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 6: respect of his teammates. I think that maturity will allow 402 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 6: him to have a lot of success right away in Chicago. 403 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 6: And one of the things that I heard him talk 404 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 6: about was it doesn't matter about my individual stats. My 405 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 6: only job and my only goal is to win games 406 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 6: each week. And so that means that he'll meet Shane 407 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 6: Waldron halfway. If they need to run the football, if 408 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 6: they need to be a little more run heavy to 409 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 6: win the game, Kaylen Williams is on board with that. 410 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 6: If that means that he needs to kind of dial 411 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 6: it back and just play a managerial type game, then 412 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 6: do that. And when the coaches talk about, Hey, we 413 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 6: just need him to be specially when special is required. 414 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 6: It's really about him being the gunslinger, but making sure 415 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 6: he keeps that under wraps until they need it. Utilize 416 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 6: all the weapons around you. Don't feel like you got 417 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 6: to do it all by yourself. Yes, you're the franchise guy. 418 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 6: People view you as the savior, but man, you're stepping 419 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 6: into a program that has some weapons around You just 420 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 6: allowed the offense to work, and then when they need 421 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 6: you to put on the Superman Kate, then show those 422 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 6: superhero skills that he's displayed when he was at USC. 423 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 8: Bucky, we talked plenty of about this quarterback draft class 424 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 8: leading up to the draft, even after the draft. Now 425 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 8: we finally get to see at least a handful of 426 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 8: these guys put their talents on the field this weekend. 427 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 8: So excited for that.

Well, a certain story from my days of 444 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: my alma mater cane to mind, involving the most legendary 445 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: eagle of all. 446 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: Doug Flutie. 447 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: For running game. Okay, me and for my buddies. We win, 448 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: win a couple of games, and all of sudden, Flute 449 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: comes over and say, hey, we got next. We got next. 450 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: So he comes out with four members of the Boston 451 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: College women's basketball team playing against me and four of 452 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: my hungover friends. So it's competitive. Okay, we're up nine 453 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: to eight, you're playing to eleven. People are waiting to 454 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: run game. Here, Flute's throwing himself alley oops off the 455 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: backboard and all this kind of stuff. This is right 456 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: after he'd send a new contract with the Chargers. So 457 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: shot goes up. I'm over there on. I had switched 458 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: on to Flute because I was worded my buddy Feene 459 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: was going to injure him because he was trying to 460 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: guard him in the game, and he's, you know, a 461 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: little bit uncoordinated, so I switch on to him. Shot 462 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: goes up, hits the back of the iron. Jam you know, 463 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: this ball, it's the back of the iron, goes straight up, right, 464 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: So I had jumped for it. I come down on 465 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: Fluty's shoulder. You can feel him kind of give me 466 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: a little little side eye, you know, like all right, 467 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: the ball bouncing back out. Another shot goes up. Fluty 468 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: elbows me as hard as he can in the ribs. 469 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: I go off dry heaving onto the baseline like nothing, 470 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: you know, kept it clean. But I had to come 471 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: out of the game. Another guy went in. We lost 472 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: eleven nine, and we are joined now by none other 473 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: than Doug Flutie, who is kind enough to join us 474 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: here on the Insiders for v Tom Felicero that's he 475 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: and rap fourth that's Jenny Mattiste. 476 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: Doug, I can see you've got a Heisman trophy behind you. 477 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: Okay, you're an absolute legend in college football the CFL. 478 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: You played a long time in the NFL. 479 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: I understand where in my mind's eye as like a 480 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty year old kid playing against an NFL quarterback. 481 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 2: Is probably a lot more memorable than you playing. 482 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: Against five Moron College sophtomores at that time. But I'm 483 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: very curious do you have any recollection whatsoever, and also 484 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: any thoughts on how I was describing the intensity of 485 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: those pickup games at the recplex. 486 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 14: I really don't remember this specific game out of the 487 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 14: fight hundred and seventy five thousand, six and thirty five 488 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 14: pickup games that I've played in my life, he was 489 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 14: the one that caught an elbow. 490 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 2: I don't know. 491 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 14: I don't know if he's complain in that a old 492 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 14: man beat him up or that he was beat by 493 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 14: a bunch of girls. So I don't recollect. I did 494 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 14: used to play a lot of pickup ball. It did 495 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 14: get competitive. I did love playing with the girls from 496 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 14: the women's team. Knew how to play basketball. They passed, 497 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 14: they shoot, they rebound, they do everything. So that sounds 498 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 14: it sounds authentic. It sounds for real that that game 499 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 14: went on. I don't specifically remember, but yeah, you know, 500 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 14: but it's time to win. It's time to win, right, 501 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 14: I don't know. I honestly I couldn't tell you what happened. 502 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 4: So I would like to hear more stories about Tom 503 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 4: getting elbowed and losing games because that sounds fun to me. 504 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 4: But when I was in Boston covering the Patriots, I 505 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 4: played in a wood league. An over thirty would that league, 506 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 4: and I always heard that you and your brothers were 507 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 4: like the best in the league, and that you would 508 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 4: make the All Star team and you guys would dominate. Now, 509 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 4: I never, unfortunately, made the All Star team. So one 510 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 4: was that true? And two? How often did you have 511 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 4: to deal with people like, let's just say, for example, 512 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 4: Tom trying to like give you a little extra just 513 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 4: because of what you had done in your pro career. 514 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 5: You know, we continue. 515 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 14: Actually, my brother Bill still plays in the legs. I 516 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 14: played with that group of guys. We go to tournaments 517 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 14: and still play once in a while in the over 518 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 14: fifty bracket. 519 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 5: Just for fun. 520 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 14: I've had more than my share of brushbacks with pitches, 521 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 14: guys trying to take you out at second base. 522 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 5: Everybody. 523 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 14: It just seems like I remember having this conversation with 524 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 14: Terry Bradshaw. 525 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 5: Once, Terry said, why do you do this stuff? You know, 526 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 5: you're just. 527 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 14: Giving people a story on you know, it's like, oh 528 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 14: I struck out Doug Flutie, or I hit them with 529 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 14: a pitch, or you know, I love It's I'm not 530 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 14: great at going to the gym and working out.

I remember it. I'm sure much 547 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 7: differently than you do. How often does that place still 548 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 7: get brought up with you. 549 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 14: You know, it's a nice break for anyone that's uncomfortable 550 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 14: approaching me or someone that wants to talk to me. 551 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 14: It's the icebreaker, and they bring it up. I'll tell 552 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 14: you what, It still brings a small on my face. 553 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 14: We're coming up on the fortieth anniversary of it. People 554 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 14: are making a little more of a deal of it 555 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 14: this year. The bottom line is that Gerard Still and 556 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 14: you see it there, made an unbelievable catch that two 557 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 14: defenders had a chance to touch the ball, they bump 558 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 14: into each other, it comes through and he had a 559 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 14: fraction of a second to see it and he made 560 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 14: an unbelievable catch. It is something that at least, you 561 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 14: know I say this, at least I have a player 562 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 14: two in my career that people remember. You know, most 563 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 14: of us get forgotten and we move on with our lives. 564 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 14: They had this moment that they remember that signifies my career. 565 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: So you're joining us from down there in Florida, Doug, 566 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: like you said, you're a very active guy. Well what 567 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: are you up to these days and how much how 568 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: much football are you still consuming? 569 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 14: I'll tell you I am a very passive spectator. When 570 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 14: it comes to football. I did watch the BC win 571 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 14: the other night. They looked great. Most of my time 572 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 14: is spent playing golf or surfing. I get up in 573 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 14: the morning and look the surf. I was telling you 574 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 14: guys the story. I had my two little nieces out 575 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 14: and they one of their twelve ten, one, fourteen, and 576 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 14: I was pushing them in the waves. I went out 577 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 14: for about an hour and a half pushing them in 578 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 14: the waves, trying to get them to catch waves. And 579 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 14: I'm out there waiting in the water, waisted chest steep. Well, 580 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 14: after they go in, I take my board and I 581 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 14: paddle out, and sure enough, as soon as I get 582 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 14: out there, I see a bunch of bait fish in 583 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 14: the wave, and the five foot black tip shark decides 584 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 14: to come visit for a while and hover around me 585 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 14: for about a minute, minute and a half, and it 586 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 14: stayed surfaced like usually you see him for a split 587 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 14: second and they disappeared. This one's surfaced and hung out 588 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 14: for a while. I don't even think it knew I 589 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 14: was there. I think it was more or less it 590 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 14: was chasing the fish around me. But eventually it took 591 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 14: off and everything was cool, and I got to catch 592 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 14: my waves. 593 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 4: Well, that's completely horrifying, and I'm glad you're okay. 594 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 14: You get used, especially being in Florida, you get used 595 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 14: to seeing them, and usually it's not you know, twelve 596 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 14: foot Well we do get bull sharks, but you know, 597 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 14: it's not great whites and bull sharks. 598 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 5: It's mostly smaller sharks. 599 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 4: H I want to take this in a different direction. 600 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 4: Talk about some news that just dropped a couple hours ago. 601 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 4: I guess Bill Belichick went on the Pat McAfee show 602 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 4: and confirm that he has now joined Instagram or instaface 603 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 4: as he calls it. You know Bill Belichick, Well, yep, 604 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 4: you you played for him. You know him as well 605 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 4: as anyone. I guess my question to you is what 606 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 4: is this world coming to you too? And what do 607 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 4: you think of this? 608 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 14: I well, I think I think the problem is now 609 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 14: that that is how especially you know retired athletes, they 610 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 14: can it's it's a nice retirement program being popular online, 611 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 14: whether it's through that or cameos or other things online. 612 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 5: Bill I never thought would join. Bill fought it. 613 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 14: He didn't want to be on insta face. He didn't 614 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 14: want to be on my face. 615 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 5: As he put it. 616 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 14: But you know he's he's gonna have to move on 617 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 14: from coaching and do some TV. 618 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 5: Or do whatever he's going to do. And part of 619 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 5: that deal is having followers. 620 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 14: You know, the younger generation doesn't even know who you 621 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 14: are unless you have over one hundred thousand followers, two 622 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 14: hundred thousand followed, millions of Fallow. 623 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 5: I don't know. 624 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 14: It's a different world. I can't explain it. I really 625 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 14: I have a Instagram page. I have about fifty thousand. 626 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 14: I just I don't put much of an effort into it, 627 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 14: just because in order to do the commercials you do 628 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 14: and things of that nature, you have to have a 629 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 14: social media platform. 630 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 7: Doug, I just want to ask you one quick question 631 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 7: about the game today. Who are the quarterbacks you like 632 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 7: to watch in the game right now? 633 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 5: I love watching Patrick Mahomes. I love watching the athletic guys. 634 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 14: You know, a Baker Mayfield, anyone that can run around 635 00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 14: and make plays. Because this may feel like I could 636 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 14: still play the game. You know, the offenses today are 637 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 14: very similar to what we were doing when I was 638 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 14: playing in Canada, and I get very jealous. I get 639 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 14: jealous of the guys that can stay with the same 640 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 14: team for a long period of time and build an offense. 641 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 14: But I get very jealous of the smaller guys and 642 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 14: athletic guys now that are playing because the offense really 643 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 14: suits their skills rather than you know, the square pegging 644 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 14: around whole thing. So I get a little jealous from 645 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 14: that standpoint, but I love watching it and I love 646 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 14: seeing them. You know, mahomes will just drop downside whatever 647 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 14: the situation calls for, you know, whether it's dropping down 648 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 14: throwing sidearm, at jump pass, the scramble and hang on 649 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 14: to the ball whatever, And those are the types of 650 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 14: things that I liked to do and pretty much got 651 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 14: criticized for doing back then. 652 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 5: But it's just fun for me to watch now. 653 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: You're ahead of your time, there's no doubt about it. 654 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: And it's interesting too. This this segment began Doug with 655 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: storyry about you at age thirty eight or so, kicking 656 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: my ass when I was twenty, then seeing that photo 657 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 1: of you shirtless on the surfboard. You're sixty one. I'm 658 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: pretty sure I'm forty three and you can still kick 659 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: my ass now.

Three rookies in fact 679 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 4: debut week one. Jayden Daniels is gonna be the other 680 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 4: boom there he is right there. Of course, we paid 681 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 4: so much attention to these rookies over the course of 682 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 4: the past several weeks. That's why I wanted to bring 683 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 4: in our good friend Bucky Brooks once again for our 684 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 4: segment we like to call ask thee Aces presented by 685 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 4: Ace Hardware. Bucky, you got an article on NFL dot 686 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 4: com now about some of the overlooked rookies. Not talking quarterbacks, 687 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 4: maybe some of the other guys who are gonna be high, 688 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 4: high impact guys that people like me have not spent 689 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 4: nearly enough time on. Let's start off at the running 690 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 4: back position. Maybe in Miami, tell me about it. 691 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 6: Here we go, Jalen Wright is someone to keep an 692 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 6: eye on. We know that Miami loves feasters. They love 693 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 6: to find ways to really create advantages in the running game, 694 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 6: in the fast. 695 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 5: Game by just having blazers. 696 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 2: What Jalen Wright is. 697 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 6: One of the fastest guys that was in this draft class. 698 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 6: This is a guy that is a home run waiting 699 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 6: to happen. We saw in the preseason him break off 700 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 6: big runs. You see the explosions need to play making ability. 701 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 6: So even though they hit Raheem Moster and David A. Chang, 702 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 6: you still have an opportunity to put Jalen Wright on 703 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 6: the field. If he gets on the field. 704 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 5: He could be dynamite. 705 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 6: Look for big plays to happen whenever he is in 706 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 6: the backfield. 707 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 4: I was laughing at this one because when they drafted him. 708 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 4: It was the most Dolphins pick ever, makes so much sense. Also, 709 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 4: expect big things there. Meanwhile, for the Dallas Cowboys, they're 710 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 4: gonna have a surprising number of rookies playing a lot 711 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 4: very early. Who is the Cowboys rookie you have your 712 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 4: eye on. 713 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 6: Cooper Beebe is going to start for the Cowboys at center. 714 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 6: And it's a bit of a surprise because you just 715 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 6: didn't know where he was going to stat This was 716 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 6: a really good draft pick. When he was coming out, 717 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 6: you just kind of wondered how you fit in. He 718 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 6: has been terrific at the point of attack, and the 719 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,719 Speaker 6: Cowboys have always been at the best when they invest 720 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 6: in the offensive line. So Bb has coming done it. 721 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 6: He's been able to kind of get all the checks 722 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 6: and calls down. He is kind of playing with a 723 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 6: maturity beyond his years and experience. Really looking forward to 724 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 6: seeing him kind of be the leader of this offensive 725 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 6: line that is kind of transforming in front of our eyes. 726 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 6: He should be a big piece of this offensive puzzle 727 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 6: for the next few years. But he'll get his opportunity 728 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 6: to start that process this weekend. 729 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 4: And finally, Bucky, we have a game tomorrow. The kickoff 730 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 4: game is tomorrow, and I mentioned coming into this segment 731 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 4: a lot of big time stars on the Kansas City Chiefs. 732 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 4: Tell me a player who maybe I might not know 733 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 4: as much about, but I'll probably see on TV on Thursday. 734 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 6: Well, if you've been looking at a preseason you were 735 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 6: looking at the guy who has the hair flowing, the 736 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 6: flowing locks hanging out of the bottom of that one 737 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 6: like four, and that's Carson Steel. And one of the 738 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 6: things that you love about him is the physicality toughness 739 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 6: that he's displayed running the football. He averaged nearly eight 740 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 6: yards a run during the preseason and even though preseason 741 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 6: success doesn't necessarily translate into regular season production, I think 742 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 6: Andy read a company saw enough to feel good about 743 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,240 Speaker 6: his chances if he has to go into the game. 744 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 6: The physicality, to toughness, the ability to make things happen 745 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 6: on the perimeter. Man, he is going to be a 746 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 6: key contributor. It may happen in the kicking game first 747 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 6: as a special teamer, but look for this guy to 748 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 6: get an opportunity to play in the backfield and he 749 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 6: should be a very very solid contributor to this offense. 750 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 4: Chiefs do not care where you come from. As long 751 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 4: as you can contribute, that will certainly be one to watch.
