Jane, the story on Monday 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: was Jerry Jones saying a lot of things, which Jerry 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: tends to do the Monday of training camp week. This 28 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 1: day you had a couple of players get a chance 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 1: to respond. What'd you learn? 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerry Jones had a lot to say about both 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: Micah Parsons and trey Von Diggs, both here for day 32 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: one of practice, albeit in different roles.

Like I said, 97 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 5: as long as I'm getting an under contract, I'm gonna 98 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 5: do what I can do to perform at the highest level. 99 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 5: But if this is, then this is then you know, 100 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 5: there's there's same way to Jones, Jerry Jones and Stephen 101 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 5: Jones and ever Jerry Jones take care of their family. 102 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 5: It's the same way I need to take care of 103 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 5: my family, you know what I mean. 104 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 8: I got my own three. 105 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 5: Kids of my own, So we all need to take 106 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 5: care of our own family at the end of the day. 107 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 3: And as we wait, it's our understanding according to Bikah 108 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: that his agent has reached out to Jerry Jones. He's 109 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 3: just waiting for a callback. 110 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys Eagles forty four days away September fourth, in Philadelphia, 111 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: Should I repeat, should have answers on some of these 112 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: items before we get there, Jane, thank you very much. 113 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: More from you. A little bit later on in the show, 114 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: Cowboys don't only have. 115 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: To hunt down the Eagles, they got to come after 116 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: the commanders. One of the surprise teams in twenty twenty 117 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: four an NFC Championship game appearance. 118 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: Looking to build on that would certainly help. 119 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: If spotted within this montage was Terry mclaurino wants a 120 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: new contract. Here's what GM Adam Peters had to say 121 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: about his top wide receiver. 122 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt. 123 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 9: I think everybody in this building values Terry very much, 124 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 9: and we knew that coming in, and we knew that 125 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 9: even more after spending a year with him. In terms 126 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 9: of where we're at, We've had conversations recently, and we'll 127 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 9: look to have some more conversations, and we're going to 128 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 9: do everything we can in order to get a deal done. 129 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: So the commanders obviously have known ian about this situation 130 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: for quite some time. 131 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: Here. 132 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: If you're Terry McLaurin, you're saying the deal I did 133 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: several years ago now has been out pace by the market. 134 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: I've been healthy, I've been productive, Give me my money. 135 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: How does this play out from here? At a time 136 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: the Terry McLaurin, at least at the start off camp 137 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: here is staying away. 138 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 6: First the news part. 139 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 10: Terry McLaurin was not present with his teammates during today's 140 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 10: conditioning test, setting the stage for unless there is some 141 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 10: sort of contractual breakthrough over the next twenty four hours. 142 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 10: A holdout and holdouts have been increasingly rare over the 143 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 10: last several years. Hold Ins where a player deals with 144 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 10: a minor injury while not practicing waiting for his deal 145 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 10: to get done, that's been more commonplace. But a true holdout, 146 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 10: where a player is subject to fines, those have been rare. 147 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 10: But that is how Terry McLaurin is showing these commanders 148 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 10: that he is not happy, that he does not feel 149 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 10: good about where things are, and not only does he 150 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 10: want a new deal, but he wants a lot of money. 151 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 10: And you're right, the three year, sixty eight million dollar 152 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 10: deal that hasn't making almost twenty million dollars this year 153 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 10: has been out paced. My understanding is he wants more 154 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 10: than thirty It's not a disagreement over whether he deserves 155 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 10: more money, it's a disagreement over how much. And certainly 156 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 10: they are not there yet to term McLaurin staying away, and. 157 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: There are still buttons. The term McLaurin could push. You 158 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: could always request the trade. You could show up and 159 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: try to make people uncomfortable. Brandon Ayuk tried all those 160 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: things with the forty nine Ers last fall and ultimately 161 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: ended up staying in San Francisco. He also suffered a 162 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: significant injury, which was kind of the story of Rock 163 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: Party season. No Christian McCaffrey, no wide receivers. It was 164 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: a tough year all around for the forty nine ers. 165 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: Here we are, Mike a year later, while there's not 166 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: a contracts squabble for San Francisco, there's real questions again 167 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: about who party's gonna be thrown to. 168 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 11: Yeah, it was an Aco NCL injury for Brandon Ayuk 169 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 11: and John Lynch today saying that he's nowhere close to 170 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 11: having a concrete timeline for his return. I think a 171 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 11: lot of folks looked at that and said, whoa, he's 172 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 11: that far away, And Linz said, no, we are encouraged 173 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 11: by his progress. But my understanding is now that he's 174 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 11: in the building, now they're going to see him every 175 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 11: day at training camp, how he is rehabbing, then they'll 176 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 11: understand kind of sort of where he is at this point. 177 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 11: But it is looking at this point like you can't 178 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 11: rule out week one for Brandon Ayuk, but it would 179 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 11: be an uphill battle for him to get to that point, 180 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 11: because if you don't have that concrete timeline, there's really 181 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 11: no ramp up period to get himself into game shape. 182 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 11: So it seems like the four nat are going to 183 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 11: begin the season without Ayuk. But again, there is some 184 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 11: good signs here with regard to his rehab and his 185 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 11: recovery and the possibility. 186 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 8: Of him being back at least early in the season. 187 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 11: If he starts on the pup list, he'll be ineligible 188 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 11: for the first four weeks. 189 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 8: The good news. 190 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 11: Ricky Piersall had a hamstring injury beginning on puff, but 191 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 11: the hope is that he is back to action relatively so. 192 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanaan once again beginning training camp wondering who he's 193 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: drawing a place to get open another familiar storyline in 194 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: the NFC West, Matthew Stafford once again dealing with injury 195 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: in the early portion of camp. It did not, in 196 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: fact occur when he was rear ended by Pooka Nakula 197 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: who I had to show up on a go kart 198 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: right there. Stafford, though, is dealing with back Sorenis Judy, 199 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: which would seem like a minor type of a thing here, 200 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: but we also know one thing with Stafford, he'll play 201 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: through things, but he also deals with a lot. What 202 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: do you make of Sean mcfay say today that at 203 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: least for the first five days or so of camp 204 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 1: we may not see a whole lot of Matthew Stafford. 205 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: On the field. 206 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 12: Well, I thought it was important that McVeigh was willing 207 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 12: to put the five day timeline on it. That suggested 208 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 12: that they do not believe this is very serious and 209 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 12: something that is going to carry deep into training camp. 210 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 12: We will see if that's accurate, but I think at 211 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 12: least initially, it seems like they believe this is a 212 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 12: minor nuisance. Having said that it's a starting quarterback, a 213 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 12: thirty seven year old starting quarterback with BACKSRNAS, so certainly 214 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 12: at the very least that demand's monitoring. They did get 215 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 12: some good news though, running back Karen Williams, who is 216 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 12: looking for a new contract. He is in the final 217 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 12: year of his rookie deal, so is at camp and 218 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 12: plans to participate. He said, I love this, this is 219 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 12: what I do, so he plans to be part of 220 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 12: training camp. That is the good news for the Rams. 221 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 12: You have really high hopes, really positive feelings coming out 222 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 12: of an offseason in which they added Davante Adams to 223 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 12: pair with Kouka and Aakubu, who you saw coming in 224 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 12: on that go kart. They went unexpectedly far last year, 225 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 12: and they pushed the Eagles further than anybody did in 226 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 12: the playoffs last season. So certainly this is a team 227 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 12: on an upward trajectory, which is why Matthew Stafford's back 228 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 12: is going to be something we are going to be 229 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 12: watching very closely. 230 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: The Bills also reporting today amidst at least some level 231 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: of uncertainty about their star running back James Cook, who 232 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: had twenty one touchdowns including the playoffs last season, helping 233 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: out the league MVP Josh Allen in a lot of ways, 234 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: is on hand as the Bills report to training camp 235 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: here Ian, but James Cook still expects to get paid. 236 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: He's doing about five point three million dollars this year. 237 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: What do you make of the timeline of a potential 238 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: James Cook extension sometime in camp here? 239 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 10: Well, first of all, this is the same James Cook 240 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 10: that went basically public last year saying he wants fifteen 241 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 10: million dollars, which would put him close to the top 242 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 10: of the running back market. And what the Bills did 243 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 10: in response to that, and something the Bills we're trying 244 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 10: to do anyway, was basically take care of every other 245 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 10: young player that they wanted to sign. And it has 246 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 10: been unbelievably productive offseason for the Buffalo Bills, right. 247 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 6: I mean they have locked up Greg Russeau and Christian. 248 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 10: Benford, and I mean on and on defensive players who 249 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 10: have been really helpful to them to kind of build 250 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 10: this to build this roster, just not James Cook yet, 251 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 10: which really does set the stage for a contract negotiation 252 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 10: that either should go down to the wire toward the 253 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 10: start of the season or put him on path to 254 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 10: either hit free agency next year or get the franchise tag. 255 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 10: There's gonna be a lot of contractual talks surrounding James Cook, 256 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 10: but most importantly on the field, as he has emerged 257 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 10: as an absolute essential weapon for the Buffalo Bills. 258 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor went through a similar situation with the Colts 259 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. 260 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: Here one of the top backs in the NFL. 261 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: But who exactly is going to be the quarterback for 262 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: those Indianapolis Colts. They have Daniel Jones, of course, who 263 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: they signed in free agency former Giant starter finished up 264 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: last season with the Vikings. They've also got Anthony Richardson, 265 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: who once again dealt with an injury to his throwing shoulder. 266 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: Back in the spring. But it sounds like GM Chris. 267 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: Ballard is optimistic about Richardson's chances for competing in camp. 268 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 13: All right, so Anthony is good to go. He's been 269 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 13: throwing for about three weeks now. He's really uped his volume. 270 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 13: First couple of weeks. Will probably limit some volume, but 271 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 13: no real restrictions other than volume restrictions, and that's something 272 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 13: we'll keep. You know, we have a four day stretch 273 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 13: where we're practicing four days in a row, So this 274 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 13: first week you could see in day two or three 275 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 13: a little bit of volume. We reduced his volume, but 276 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 13: other than that, good to go. 277 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: It was not that long ago, Mike, that Anthony richardshow 278 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 1: was the number four overall pick in the NFL draft 279 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: At this point, just based on availability alone, you'd have 280 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: to say the edge that this goes to Daniel Jones 281 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: in that competition. 282 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: What say you? 283 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 11: Daniel Jones got that advantage there, Tom In the spring, 284 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 11: the late spring when the Colts shuts down shut down, 285 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 11: Anthony Richardson for a mini camp, so they gave Jones 286 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 11: a chance to make a final first impression there during 287 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 11: the spring, and it seems like it was a good one. 288 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 11: I know that there's a lot of optimism when it 289 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 11: comes to Daniel Jones' ability to reset now with the 290 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 11: Indianapolis Colts. Things did not end very well with the 291 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 11: Giants and that stint with the Vikings that was kind 292 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 11: of weird. He never really saw the field there. So 293 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 11: now he's got a clearer path to a starting job. 294 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 11: He's got to edge out Anthony Richardson from an availability standpoint, 295 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 11: You're right, the edge goes to Jones because at least 296 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 11: there is going to be a little bit of a 297 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 11: restriction or at least a watch on Richardson to start 298 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 11: training camp. But if he's healthy, he's got to show 299 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 11: won the wow plays. We know they're there. 300 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 8: We've seen them. 301 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 11: Remember last week or last year. Excuse me in Week one, 302 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 11: the wild play that he made early on. But it's 303 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 11: got to be more from a consistency standpoint, because you 304 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 11: know you're going to get more consistency from Jones when 305 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 11: it comes to this battle. 306 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: And the wild plays have often turned into owl plays 307 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: so far for Anthony Richardson, a player who certainly has, 308 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: as you said, Mike, all the physical ability, but has 309 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: not yet been able to stay healthy enough to actually 310 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: be able to mount those reps. Joe Burrow has dealt 311 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: with his fair share of training camp injuries in the 312 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: past as well, but fully healthy, looking good in whatever 313 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: he's wearing right there. His guy knows better than I do. 314 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: A little tidy, how about that from Joe Burrow. He's 315 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: on hand in Cincinnati, not there, not even in the state. 316 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson, who posted this very early this morning amidst 317 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: ongoing contract talks judy between the Bengals and Hendrickson, who's 318 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: due sixteen million dollars this season, He's made clear he's 319 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: not going to play for that. The those have offered 320 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: him a raise, they've offered him an extension, but the 321 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: structure is not there and there's really no at this point. 322 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 12: And in sight, yeah, that was maybe a bit of 323 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 12: a reality check today after some optimism from owner Mike 324 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 12: Brown yesterday that the deal would get done with Trey Hendrickson, 325 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 12: maybe not quite so fast. And that's certainly a down 326 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 12: note for a team that has focused the entire offseason 327 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 12: on figuring out how to get out to faster starts. 328 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 12: They paid a lot of money to keep most of 329 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 12: their offense intact. They didn't do much for the defense. 330 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 12: They changed defensive coordinators, and now they've got the Trey 331 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 12: Hendrickson and Schmer Stewart contract situations still out there hanging 332 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 12: over them. The good news for them, Joe Burrow comes 333 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 12: into training camp healthy for the first time in a 334 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 12: long time. That is a good first step toward getting 335 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 12: off to a fast start, but certainly getting these contract 336 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 12: situations squared away, and they hope getting both guys into 337 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 12: camp would certainly go a long way toward a faster start. 338 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: We've got tons more to come on the show. Twenty 339 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: other teams we haven't even mentioned. 340 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: Yet also reported to training camp earlier today, including the Dolphins. 341 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill says he's healthy, he's got some new perspective, 342 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: he's got thoughts on one of our reporters physiques. 343 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 2: You do not want to miss it. 344 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: The Dolphins one of twenty six teams to report to 345 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: training camps around the NFL today, which means. 346 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: You guessed it. 347 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: A lot of slow motion entry shots for two of 348 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: Toungola and others.

I feel like 354 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 14: that's just a personal goal that I would like for myself. 355 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 14: But I feel like the even bigger goal for myself 356 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 14: and then I'll so for this team is just to 357 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 14: win games, you know, win playoff games, and you know, 358 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 14: continue to build from now. 359 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 7: I expect to bring playmaking ability.

I'm excited to just be a part of 362 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 7: that group. I feel like everything you probably experience, except 363 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 7: probably winning the Super Bowl, is something that I've gone through. 364 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 7: Where there's been drafted, late course, special teams, guys suspended 365 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 7: from the league, practice squad starter pro Bowler traded a 366 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 7: couple of times like there are guys that are going 367 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 7: through situations and going through things that they need somebody 368 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 7: to lean on talk to. I feel like I could 369 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 7: be that as well, but most importantly, just somebody that 370 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 7: does their job at a high level. 371 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: Let's bring in our Cameron Wolf who was down there 372 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: at Dolphins training camp earlier today.

He knews how bad he was last year 382 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 15: with asking I'm out, with saying, you know, leaving the 383 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 15: game in the fourth quarter without coming back in, and 384 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 15: so he's showing the level of accountability of I'm going 385 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 15: to be different. And he told us a story in 386 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 15: the press conference today. He said he talked to his 387 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 15: dad and said, I wonder what it to look like 388 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 15: on the field if I just focused on football and family. 389 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 15: He said, I haven't done that. I haven't given the 390 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 15: best version of Tyreek Hill my entire career. 391 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: I plan to do that. 392 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 15: He's down to one hundred and eighty three pounds fourteen 393 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 15: pounds from when he first got down here to Miami. 394 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 8: He said he's been training. 395 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 15: He said his focus points are being on time, which 396 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 15: was a problem last year, being present, being available, showing 397 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 15: the fullness of his leadership vocally, and as far as 398 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 15: his conditioning after practice. 399 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 6: And he really is getting a little bit motivation from 400 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 6: his kids. 401 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 2: He said. 402 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 15: One of his kids, he FaceTime with them last night 403 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 15: and his mom told him that he told his friend 404 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 15: that his dad was not Tyreek Hill, his dad was 405 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 15: Justin Jefferson because he's a big Justin Jefferson fan. So 406 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 15: he said that gives me extra motivation. My own son says, 407 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 15: I'm Justin Jefferson's dad. He said, we'll tell Justin Jefferson 408 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 15: to take you to Disneyland then if he's your dad. 409 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 15: So even Tyreek Hill has his sons wanted to be 410 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 15: someone else. 411 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 10: I mean, if Tyreek Hill and Justin Jefferson gonna go 412 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 10: to Disneyland, I think we're gonna need some cameras there 413 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 10: to witness this. Anyway, let's get on to Darren Waller, 414 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 10: we just heard from just a couple of minutes ago. 415 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 6: Obviously one of. 416 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 10: The more intriguing stories for the Miami Dolphins. Comes out 417 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 10: of retirement to land in South Florida. What do we 418 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 10: expect from Waller in his return to the NFL. 419 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 15: Yeah, the Dolphins are taking a flyer on Darren Waller here. 420 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 15: He retired from football. He told us today that he's 421 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 15: content until retirement. He said he had decided that football 422 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 15: wasn't something at that time that he wanted to pursue. 423 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 15: He didn't have that joy, that spark. 424 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 8: He said. 425 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 15: Over the last few months he's thought about it. He 426 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 15: got some of that joy back, and he said he's committed. 427 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 15: And I asked him about that point, because when he 428 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 15: left the game, he said he didn't have that commitment. 429 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 15: He said, he knows this is a commitment. 430 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 8: Smith to February. 431 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 15: He expects to make a huge impact. 432 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 8: On the field. 433 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 15: He said, what a way for me to try to 434 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 15: end out my final chapter of my career the way 435 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 15: I wanted to be. The Dolphins didn't invest a lot 436 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 15: of money in this tight end, and so really this 437 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 15: is a situation where if they can get him to 438 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 15: do a fraction of production that John Eus Smith, who 439 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 15: they traded away to Pittsburgh last year, would be able 440 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 15: to get some of those reps that tyreek Hill and 441 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 15: jal and Waddell don't have. It's across the middle of 442 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 15: the field. They'd be very happy. One key thing for 443 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 15: Darren Waller he reunites with Frank Smith, who was his 444 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 15: guy with the Raiders. He said he was a guy 445 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 15: who helped me when I decided I wanted to be sober. 446 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 15: He asked me as a man, what do I need 447 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 15: in my sobriety journey? And he said, I will never 448 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 15: forget that. He also got rave reviews from Alec Ingle, 449 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 15: who's a captain and full back on this team. 450 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 8: They're excited about what he can do. 451 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 15: Obviously a lot of eyeballs on what his mindset is like, 452 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 15: but he is saying the right things. He'll start training 453 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 15: camp on pup as they ease him back into the work. 454 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 15: Not injury related, just the guy who hadn't been on 455 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 15: the football field in a while, but he's ready to 456 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 15: get to action once the season starts. 457 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: Doesn't tell me it'll be anything long term for Darren Waller. 458 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: Not a big concern there. You know who else I'm 459 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: not concerned about is Cam Wolf because based on the 460 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: mirror Jim selfies, I've been. 461 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 2: Seeing of late. 462 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: I gotta say, Cam's looking like he's in that pre 463 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: training camp shape right there.

I'm Ben Jonson. 516 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 17: As I think about our team and where we're going 517 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 17: into training camp, it's really there are a lot of 518 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 17: parallels there because as a first time head coach, first 519 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 17: year head coach, a lot of new staff members on 520 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 17: the coaching staff, a lot of new faces in the 521 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 17: locker room. We we don't know each other particularly well, 522 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 17: and we've tried to bridge that gap over the course 523 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 17: of the spring. But really the next six weeks is 524 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 17: about us coming together. 525 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 16: I've had some up and downs and games myself and 526 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 16: team wise, and so you know, I think, I think 527 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 16: all of you know, all of last year was was 528 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 16: great for us and great for me to be able 529 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 16: to manage, you know, these these next six weeks, about 530 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 16: six weeks, you know, I think it's gonna be fun too. 531 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 16: That's the that's the fun part about it is having 532 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 16: these up and downs and figuring out a way to 533 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 16: manage those and and and deal with them and you know, 534 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 16: come back the next day or next play or you know, 535 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 16: trive next situation that we have and you go out 536 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 16: there and execute, and you know, be that guy that 537 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 16: and teammate that you know they depend on and believe 538 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 16: in for those moments. 539 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 11: Oh, Stacy Dale's, the expectations are high surrounding this team. 540 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 11: I know it's a first year coach, but a lot 541 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 11: of times we see first year coaches take a team 542 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 11: to the postseason. 543 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 8: Perhaps the Bears will be that team. 544 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 11: So Dale's is here with us, Judy Bautista and me, 545 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 11: Mike Carrofalo. I heard a lot of numbers being thrown 546 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 11: around with Caleb Williams, and the expectations for this upcoming 547 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 11: season stays. These guys are not shy, whether it's Williams 548 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 11: himself or Ben Johnson about throwing out some numbers and 549 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 11: say these are the goals for the production this year. 550 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 2: Right. 551 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 18: Absolutely, it was a great day really at Hallas Hall today. 552 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 18: Let's just hope that Claw can throw some darts to 553 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 18: the tune of seventy percent in terms of completion rate, 554 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 18: because that's the goal. As Ben Johnson told us, you 555 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 18: notice the sweat on Caleb Williams brow there. 556 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 19: He had just come in from outside. We're in a 557 00:25:59,359 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 19: heat wave. 558 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 18: It's going to be so hot tomorrow as they get 559 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 18: ready to practice here, and they're going to go really 560 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 18: early every day, eight thirty in the morning throughout training camp. 561 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 18: But when you talk about those numbers, you zero in 562 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 18: on the head coach and play caller and Ben Johnson, 563 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 18: Judy and Mike and the quarterback Caleb Williams. 564 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 19: I loved Ben. 565 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 18: Johnson's transparency today in terms of how much time they've 566 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 18: spent together. I asked him, what does it look like 567 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 18: for you in terms of how you fill your quarterback's cup, 568 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 18: how much you can give him, and he said, it's 569 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 18: all about the time. 570 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 19: You spend with your quarterback. 571 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 18: And so they have spent as much time as humanly 572 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 18: possible over the last two months, not only getting to 573 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 18: know each other, but really zeroing in on how they're 574 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 18: going to install this thing, what it's going to look like. 575 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 18: Not to mention that he sent Caleb Williams home with 576 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 18: footwork and very specifically homework, excuse me, and that was 577 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 18: footwork and that's getting him under center. You're going to 578 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 18: see a lot of play action. Get him under center 579 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 18: and get that ball out quickly. That footwork the left 580 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 18: foot up versus the right foot up under center so 581 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 18: that he can get that ball out and he's just 582 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 18: more efficient, better timing with his receivers. And for Caleb Williams, 583 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 18: he was very intentional today in terms of his goals. 584 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 18: Mentioned that seventy percent completion rate. That's what Ben Johnson's 585 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 18: looking for throughout practice. He said, he knows it's a 586 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 18: lofty goal, but that's what it is. 587 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 19: For Caleb Williams, he. 588 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 18: Wants the seventy He wants to be the first quarterback 589 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 18: in Bear's history. He said this today to throw for 590 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 18: four thousand yards in a season. It's never been done 591 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 18: in a single season. 592 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 19: We'll see if he can do it. 593 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 18: The member of the Bears twenty eighth in terms of 594 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 18: scoring offense last season, and by the way, tu Atungo 595 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 18: Viiloa led the league with seventy three percent at that 596 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 18: completion rating. So it is a big goal but certainly 597 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 18: attainable if he can click with Ben Johnson. 598 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 12: Well, obviously there's going to be a huge spotlight on 599 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 12: that offense because of all the changes and because of 600 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 12: Caleb and Ben Johnson, but some of the spotlights should 601 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 12: go to the defense as well, because they obviously made 602 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 12: a pretty big change there. Dennis Allen is now shepherding 603 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 12: that defense. What kind of impact do we think that's 604 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 12: going to have? 605 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 18: Stacey, Yeah, Judy, this is such a great point you raise. 606 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 19: The Bears feel really good. 607 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 18: About the staff they've assembled, and on the defensive side, 608 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 18: we're going to talk about the play caller a lot, 609 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 18: but the play caller defensively is Dennis Allen right seven. 610 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 18: I think seasons as DC there in New Orleans recently 611 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 18: and just before becoming the three year head coach with 612 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 18: the Saints, and you. 613 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 19: Know, we had an opportunity. 614 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 18: We know that he is going to impress upon us 615 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 18: a very physical defense up front. He wants to be 616 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 18: an attacking style, he wants to dictate what the offense does. 617 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 19: A lot of man a lot of press coverage. 618 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 18: But you know, we had the chance to speak with 619 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 18: Grady Jarrett today, the eleven year NFL VET joined the 620 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 18: Bears this offseason, spent all that time there in Atlanta 621 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 18: facing the team that Dennis Allen came from, in the Saints. 622 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 18: In that NFC South Division, so he knows him really well. 623 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 18: But I asked Jarrett today, what have you learned about 624 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 18: your defensive play caller? What are his priorities defensively? He 625 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 18: rattled off a bunch of stuff. Grittiness, his attention to detail, 626 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 18: his knowledge in terms of knowing what everybody should be 627 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 18: doing from the front to the back of the defense 628 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 18: and then being able to convey those expectations. 629 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 19: Very clear communicator. 630 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 18: To his players as they've gotten to know him here 631 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 18: this offseason, and he said he hasn't been babying us. 632 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 18: Nothing's been easy. So he's going to be tough on 633 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 18: these guys. But he's known as such a great players coach. 634 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 18: This could be an interesting fit for the former head 635 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 18: coach as he helps out Ben Johnson in his first 636 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 18: stint as head coach with these Bears. 637 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 8: No doubt about it. 638 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 11: He's got that experience that Ben Johnson can draw upon. 639 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 11: Johnson's got his own ideas, certainly has his ideas for 640 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:39,719 Speaker 11: the offense. 641 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 8: This is an exciting team this year. 642 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 11: Stays and you there in Chicago and in the area, 643 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 11: they are going to get a front row seats and 644 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 11: looking forward to your coverage and back together weekend and 645 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 11: throughout the NFL season when it comes to the Bears 646 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 11: and the rest of the NFC North as well. 647 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: Tom another surprise retirement for the Saints on the eve 648 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: of training camp, a couple months after Derek Carr wah away, 649 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: now Tyron Matthew retiring after twelve seasons, three Pro Bowls, 650 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: a whole lot of big plays, thirty three years old 651 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: and leaves big shoes to fill. He released a statement saying, 652 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: in part, as I hang up my cleats, I'm filled 653 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: with gratitude as I close this chapter of my life 654 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: and officially retire from the game that shaped me in 655 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: every way. I hope I made you proud out there. 656 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: This isn't goodbye, It's just the next chapter for. 657 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: The New Orleans Saints. 658 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: They really entered a different mode once Derek Carr walked away. 659 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: Mickey Loomis even referenced that ian earlier today, saying, Derek 660 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: Carr retiring allowed us to clean up some things, basically 661 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: pay the bill for some choices they made in the past. 662 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: Now once again you got a veteran player leaving this team. 663 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: The question becomes who's the quarterback and what even is 664 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: the upside for this team in twenty twenty five. 665 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,239 Speaker 10: Yeah, certainly is shaping up to be at least a 666 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 10: challenging year for the New Orleans Saints, maybe a year 667 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 10: where you pay the bills and figure it out after. 668 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 6: But don't tell that to the players competing right now 669 00:30:58,680 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 6: to be the starting court. 670 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 10: Of of course, the most interesting here Tyler Shuck, the 671 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 10: second round quarterback. Rarely do you see a quarterback taking 672 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 10: the second round. Usually it's like first round, like fifth round. 673 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 10: Tyler Shuck the second rounder certainly is gonna have a 674 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 10: very realistic chance to be the starting quarterback for Kellen 675 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 10: Moore's New Orleans Saints. 676 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 6: Not gonna be without a battle, though. 677 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 10: Spencer Ratler, who had a ton of important snaps last 678 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 10: year with the Saints, a ton of experience and flashed 679 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 10: a bit, He is going to have a shot. Jake Hayner, 680 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 10: who has been the Saints backup for the last couple 681 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 10: of years, he also will have a shot to unseat 682 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 10: Tyler shock. 683 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: Well. 684 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 12: Jackson Dark does not have much of a chance to 685 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 12: unseat Russell Wilson in training camp. The New York Giants 686 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 12: want Russell Wilson to be the starter when this season opens, 687 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 12: but training camp is going to be a good long 688 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 12: look at how quickly Jackson Dark can develop. He is 689 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 12: the rookie first round pick. They traded back into the 690 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 12: first round to get him. Question they are hoping to 691 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 12: answer this year is he the guy? How quickly can 692 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 12: he press Russell Wilson? Will they get Jackson Dart onto 693 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 12: the field at some point this season? Training camp is 694 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 12: all about getting him ready. 695 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 11: Judy, you and I will be at the Giants on Sunday, 696 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 11: perhaps interviewing Russell Wilson. The request is in a couple 697 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 11: days later, I'll be in Cleveland to check out the 698 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 11: Browns four way competition for the starting quarterback job. I mean, 699 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 11: theoretically it's a two way competition between Flacco and Pickett 700 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 11: there on top of I mean, Deshaun Watson's on the roster, but. 701 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 8: He's not gonna play for them again. 702 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 11: So Flacco and Pickett with Dylan Gabriel and Schador Sanders 703 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 11: maybe battling for the last roster spot. Perhaps another one 704 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 11: winds up on the practice squad, but a chance to 705 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 11: really impress the front office and the coaching staff moving forward. 706 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 8: We know what Flacco has done in this offense before. 707 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 11: We also know that the Browns want to get back 708 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 11: to really running the ball effectively. The Quinn Shawn Jetkins 709 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 11: situation going to be an issue there. 710 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 8: Obviously, we'll see how that one plays out. 711 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 11: But for the meantime, Joe Flacco in the driver's seat 712 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 11: with Kenny Picking nipping at his heels and those young 713 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 11: guys trying to make an impression. 714 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 10: If you see that graphic, you know it only means 715 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 10: one thing. Scalding hot takes by that guy right there, 716 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 10: Michael F. Florio, Takes that are so hot he needs 717 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 10: to wear sunglasses, which he's literally wearing sunglasses again because 718 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 10: the takes are so hot. 719 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 6: Florio, start right here, take me through it. What is 720 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 6: your number four hot take? 721 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 20: Malik Neighbors up the New York Giants is going to 722 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 20: leave the NFL in receiving yards this year. This take 723 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 20: is as hot as out being. 724 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 8: On the buyout where Neighbors is from. Trust me. I 725 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 8: was there this past weekend. It is scorching. 726 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 20: But Neighbors last year had the highest target share in 727 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 20: the NFL, and he had twelve hundred yards as a 728 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 20: rookie despite having the ninth highest rate of uncatchable targets. 729 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 20: And look No disrespect to the Giants QB room last year, 730 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 20: but they just simply could not get him the ball 731 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 20: down field. He gets a huge upgrade in that regard 732 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 20: with their new quarterback room. 733 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 2: He is a great field stretcher. 734 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 20: It wasn't his fault, but better QB play will help 735 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 20: unlock his ceiling this year, which I think is not 736 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 20: only leading the league in receiving yards, but maybe leading 737 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 20: all receivers in Fantasy points. So make sure to target 738 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 20: Malik Neighbors in the later half of your first rounds. 739 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 8: I do not think you will regret it. 740 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 6: You don't need to say no offense to the Giants 741 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 6: QB room. They cleaned it all out anyway. Give me 742 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 6: take number three. 743 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 8: Devon Hn. 744 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 20: He will finish as the highest scoring running back. Look 745 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 20: when you think of Miami, you think of beach balls 746 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 20: and beaches, but you should be thinking of the heat 747 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 20: that Davon Hn is going to bring when he finishes 748 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 20: as the RB one this season. Why do I think 749 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 20: that because he pretty much did it last year when 750 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 20: he averaged twenty three Fantasy points per game with Tua, 751 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 20: which would have made him the RB one. He had 752 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 20: more receiving stats than any running back last year as 753 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 20: the Dolphins just abandoned the deep ball and folks on 754 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 20: getting to the ball out of his hands. 755 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 8: As quickly as possible. 756 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 2: He is a good receiver and. 757 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 20: Explosive runner, dominates goal line work, everything you want in 758 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 20: a fantasy running back, and this is the year it 759 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 20: all gets put together. He outscores Saquon and Fijon and Gibbs, 760 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 20: and he finishes as the highest scoring running back in 761 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 20: fantasy and one that you can get in the second round. 762 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 8: Take neighbors, take a chan. You'll be feeling great. 763 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 10: Not going to the second round of people keep hearing 764 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 10: you talk about him like that. 765 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 2: Give me take number two, beach. 766 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 8: Ball guy, justin Fields. 767 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 20: He finishes as a top three fantasy quarterback this year. 768 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 20: Look ever, walk through a New York City subway station 769 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 20: on a humid day in August. I have this take 770 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 20: is as hot as that Fields. He thrives as an 771 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 20: outside runner, and this is an offense that should feature 772 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 20: plenty of that. I am expecting to see a Fields 773 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 20: version of the Tush push in New York, and I'm 774 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 20: expecting a lot more short and safe. We saw when 775 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 20: he was with the Pittsburgh Steelers last year and it 776 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 20: was only six games, but if you take that six 777 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 20: games and make it a seventeen game pace, he would 778 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 20: have scored the sixth most fantasy points amongst quarterbacks, and. 779 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,479 Speaker 2: I think he could exceed that this year. 780 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 20: I think a career year in this new Jets offense 781 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 20: is coming for Justin Fields. And the best part is 782 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 20: you don't gotta pay a top five, top seven QB 783 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 20: price to get him. You can wait and get all 784 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 20: that production anyway. 785 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 6: Good stuff so far, smoking hot so far. 786 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 20: Give me number one, Tyler Warren, the rookie finishes as 787 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 20: a top five fantasy tight end. 788 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 2: This take might be as hot as. 789 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 8: The Colts QB can't battle. 790 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 2: But you're gonna hear a lot of stuff. 791 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 20: About Warren this year, that he has target competition, not 792 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,479 Speaker 20: the best quarterback room. You know who you were hearing 793 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 20: about that last year, brock Bowers, when he finishes. 794 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 2: The tight end one. 795 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 20: The year before was Sam Laporta, He was the tight 796 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 20: end one. They have proven that in recent years rookie 797 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 20: tight ends can succeed right away, and Warren is a 798 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 20: big target who excels after the catch. Richardson and Jones 799 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 20: are both at their best statistically when they are targeting 800 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 20: the middle of the field, and I think. 801 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 2: Warren will eat there. 802 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 20: I think he could finish as the Colts' top target 803 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 20: and as a top five tight end in fantasy. But again, 804 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 20: you don't have to pay that price. He barely goes 805 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 20: as a top twelve tight end. 806 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 8: So wait and still reap the benefits. 807 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 6: Colson Lovelin being like, what did you know? I was 808 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 6: picked first? 809 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 10: Anyway, FOURIO great stuff. As always, don't go anywhere.

We got 827 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 12: to see a little bit of Dak Prescott on this day. 828 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 12: We know that Michael Parsons is at training camp. We'll 829 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 12: see exactly what he does during training camp as negotiations 830 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 12: toward his next contract continue, and post it up with 831 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 12: the Cowboys, as she so often is, is our very 832 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 12: own Jane Slater Live in Oxnard, Okay, Jane. This was 833 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 12: also George Pickens's first practice with the Dallas Cowboys of 834 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 12: training camp or your impressions. 835 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 3: Well, Judy, when I'm out here at training camp, I 836 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 3: try to sit next to people that are smarter than me, 837 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 3: which is why Ian and I typically roam separate. 838 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 19: I'm kidding, but. 839 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 3: Today I was sitting next to Brian brought us and 840 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 3: Brad Sham. Brian brought us a former scout, Brad Sham, 841 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 3: who is the voice the Dallas Cowboy's been covering these 842 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 3: camps since nineteen eighty three. They both picked up on 843 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 3: the fact that Brian Schottenheimer looks like he's using tighter formation, 844 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 3: so that should be exciting to the football nerds, but 845 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 3: I noticed a lot of premotion snaps. That's something that 846 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 3: he promised when he took the job. I know that 847 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 3: something that also excites our nerdier football fans. 848 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 2: But it's what he. 849 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 3: Said about, or at least teased about, what he's gonna 850 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 3: use George Pickens in this scheme. Here's what he had 851 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 3: to say. 852 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 21: His ability to track a football is uncanny. You can't 853 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 21: watch a guy play the deep ball and be like, okay, 854 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 21: that's just different. So when he's not doubled, he's really open, 855 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 21: and so I think that's something we're getting used to 856 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 21: with him. He's been great with our ability to move 857 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 21: him around. You know, it's been different. You know, we 858 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 21: think to maximize him. He can't just play one spot. 859 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 21: You know, he can't just play an ex We're going 860 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 21: to move him around. He's been great with that. He's 861 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 21: excited about that because he and CD need to be interchangeable. 862 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 21: But the instincts are also uncanny, just for finding zones 863 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 21: and you know, the ability to sit in windows that 864 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 21: maybe some people don't see. But the number one thing 865 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 21: that jumps out at me would be the ability to 866 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 21: track the deep ball, because it is uncanny. 867 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 3: Schottenheimer was asked, how does the Pickens acquisition help dak 868 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 3: and he stated the obvious. He said, if you look 869 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 3: at this offense last year, there weren't a lot of 870 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 3: explosive plays, not a lot of explosive plays and the 871 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 3: run game or the passing game. What this does is 872 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 3: Pickens gives you a little bit of playbook variety, also 873 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 3: giving us a little variety. This is now two camps 874 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 3: that I've seen them hand the ball off to Cavante Turpin. 875 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 3: They're wide receiver, the speedster. 876 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 4: Might they use. 877 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 3: Him in the run game this year? We'll have to see. 878 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 19: Jane, thank you. 879 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 12: I'm sure we will be hearing much more from you 880 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 12: about the Dallas cop in the coming days. 881 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: Twenty six teams reporting to training camp today, only one 882 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 1: of them with their star receiver making all like Mario 883 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: kart Hoopinakua showing up in interesting fashion for the Rams 884 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: did not dye his hair. Leave that to offensive lineman 885 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: Kevin Dotson coming in and looking more like a Ram 886 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: than the logo that's on his shirt that actually looks 887 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 1: more like a rampart right there. Juan Brisker apol into 888 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: the Bears training camp, made with AI. Now it's allan 889 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: Iverson stepping over everyone to get into Hellis Hold today. 890 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: And aboute Smith. Can we get the man a bell boy? 891 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: Can we get him some help? 892 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 2: Thank you? 893 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, there it is. He should not have to. He's 894 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: not gonna say this. Don is not small, but he's 895 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: not the biggest guy. We don't need him with the 896 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: double decker lane Johnson wants to carry five different boxes. 897 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 2: Mike, I say, hey at it. Let's give the wide 898 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 2: receiver just a little. 899 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 11: Bit help, just maybe applying for the days at Reggie Wayne, 900 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 11: the veteran wide receiver for the Colts, who just had 901 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 11: great interesces every year. One day the Indy, one year 902 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 11: the Indy car. He had a military entrance, he had 903 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 11: a helicopter entrance. Reggie Wayne was the king of the 904 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 11: training camp arrival. 905 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 1: Thinking about you today, Reggie, Judy your favorite entry. 906 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 12: I remember when the Jets we trained at Ostra and 907 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 12: the players stayed in the dorms. They used to like 908 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 12: come in with TVs, pillows, fans, And I remember Vinny 909 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 12: Testa Verity pulled up one you're in a bentley and 910 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 12: then unloaded all of his stuff from the bentley. 911 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: Mean, I'm sure your story was great too, but we're 912 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: out of time.
