9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: how is that different than most days? It does feel

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: a little different though, I physically feel like a train wreck,

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: and it's it's the thing is that I was feeling

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: about find about two hours ago, and it's just like

13
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: to steady to climb downhill again. We had discussed earlier

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: today that after today's taping we might do some clerical

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: work behind the scenes. We've got playing some shows out

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: do some other. I think we might get another cartoon

17
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: feet running out towards the parking lot in the car

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,640

20
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: it's good to be home, home being the studio like

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: me in real life. The idea of a nice like relaxing.

22
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: Fun time is sitting on the couch, maybe a t

23
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: do's with my wife watching something on TV. Yeah, so

24
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: I feel about sometimes we go to rams Camp. Great

25
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: time at rams Camp, I thought. I like being home.

26
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: That's where I like hanging out. I like hanging out

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: with a couple of friends at home. That's my thing.

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you guys at your house in a while.

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: It's been a minute. Like and when I say your house,

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean the studio wrestling past. It's been too long.

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: You've been gallivanting all over training Camp America and you're

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: going to Minnesota tomorrow, so it's not over yet. How's

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: it been going, I've been, you've been. We're going to

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: talk about it in today's show. You've hit uh several

35
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: stops already, so we'll get some of your camp takeaways.

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: But how you doing this travel life? Yeah, it's good.

37
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: It's hot, real hot everywhere. A lot of bugs love sweating,

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: and so it's been super glamorous. I can tell you

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: that that's good. That's good. By the way, um Me

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: and Connie announcement. I have an announcement we haven't announced

41
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: as teased last week. Um Hard knocks is back this

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: week covering the Detroit Lines, and for the past ten

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: years on NFL dot Com, I have handled the weekly

44
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: recaps of Hard Knocks. I have passed the reins on

45
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: that particular project, but I am not out of the

46
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks game because me and the Tiny Box Connie

47
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Fox will be launching a Hard Knocks podcast. Oh yeah,

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I love it. How you like that. It's been a

49
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: decade in the making. We have put so much planning

50
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: into this. We've really been talking about it for a

51
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: very long time. It's kind of true. Five years ago,

52
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: I think six years ago, we tried to get some

53
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: shadowy League figures to let us do the do it

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe it was a cloud deficiency

55
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: at the time. This time we pitched it, people were

56
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: into it, and uh, you don't have to look hard

57
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: for it. Listeners if you're interested, because it's gonna drop

58
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: right into the A t N feed tomorrow night, every

59
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday night, the Hard Knocks recap for the next five weeks.

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited and now we can I can listen on

61
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: the way into work the next day and not even

62
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: watch Hard Knocks. No, of course I'm gonna watch har Knocks.

63
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: I love Hard Knocks, but if you don't have time

64
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: to watch the test, this year will be can they

65
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: keep the audience me uh through the final episode? Because

66
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: they do feel like the last couple of seasons my

67
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: interest started fading a little bit late in the season.

68
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: It's a challenge. Yeah, Dan Campbell, that's a personality enough

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: to keep a whole season going. That's the last episode

70
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: traditionally to me is the most compelling because it's with

71
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: the whether you know, speaking of Dan Campbell, this would

72
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: be kind of my overall thought heading into this season

73
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: or Hard Knocks, that you have to go back to

74
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: maybe Rex back in two thousand ten to see such

75
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: a clear obvious star of the show at head coach

76
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: um and kind of you sent this to me last night.

77
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: This is this is again Dan Campbell sounding like completely

78
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: like a professional wrestler addressing the crowd at Ford Field

79
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: during their scrimmage this week. And this is the guy

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: that has the chance to be an iconic Hard Knocks star.

81
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: Let's listening. I'll tell you what you would give your

82
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: code in winter? You would give your coach to somebody

83
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: in winter that needed it. Man, That's what this community

84
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: is about. However, however, however, nobody will take advantage of

85
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: our hospitality, my body. So that's who we're about. That's

86
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: what we're about. This team is working the rear off

87
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: to give you something to be proud of. All right.

88
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: They're grinding it out right now, and I know this.

89
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: We are freaking starving. We are starving. So the hyaenas

90
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: better get out of the way, all right, ma'am. I

91
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: find them very enjoyable. Someone get him a cliff bar

92
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: or something like that was still people. Yeah, So that

93
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: that shows that Dan Campbell is doing something right. I

94
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: don't think Matt Patricia was getting even the brakes and

95
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: his cadence. That is how the Rock would address an

96
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: audience from the Squared Circle in two thousand one. There's

97
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: definitely that vibe in that charisma with Campbell, like Rock

98
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: could deliver a speech that was probably half written for him.

99
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: Some of that delivery went on went a little south.

100
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: I do have a question, Connie, is a big your

101
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: big preparation person. You're gonna be doing this right as

102
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: the show raps, You're gonna jump on and do How

103
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: is the show structured? Is it just going to be

104
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: like a diving in here getting the weeds. I love it.

105
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: I love it. I don't know, um wondering have been

106
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: any discussion about structure. Yeah, you know we're going to

107
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: get a screener or working with the people that the

108
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: films teams in the film's team is producing obviously Hard Knocks,

109
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: and we've been communicating with them, so we'll have our

110
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: we'll be able to watch it before the episode airs,

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: record our podcast, schedule it so it comes out right

112
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: as Hard Knocks. He's I'm as excited for the Lions

113
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: as I have been for Hard Knocks in a while.

114
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: Although I think you ignored one coach who kind of

115
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: commanded the center I'm not gonna step on your jokes

116
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: screen here and really was the start, and that was

117
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: Joe Philbin. I was, though you're gonna say, Mike Smith,

118
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: I never know how to say it right. A lot

119
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: to get into Greggy has a banger? What is it?

120
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: Fifty two? What did you come down with fifty two?

121
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: Takeaways takeaways from I don't know, things we've learned this

122
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: past weekend. A lot of teams had their scrimmages at

123
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: the stadiums and all that stuff, so so takeaways there.

124
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Connie also going to share her I'm gonna call it

125
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: camp check ins with within that Realm will also bring

126
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: back her old quotable segment with Grave Digger that at

127
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: the end. But before that, let's get caught up with

128
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: some news. Did you well, hopefully nobody cries around here

129
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: because of these sunglasses and you're the best. Thank you,

130
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: my friend. It was more of a visual thing I

131
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: think doesn't translate as well when it's just your sunglasses.

132
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: Had a macho man. He was trying to take a

133
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: shot at my sunglasses, which I love those sunglasses, so

134
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: I was happy that he was drawing attention to couldn't

135
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't get enough of that, And thank you to Mark.

136
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what was going on this weekend, but

137
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: so much, so many dispatches about NFL network from you,

138
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: whether it was on social media or private text. One

139
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: of those one of those weird weekends when Mark was like,

140
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: wagh in on our network and he's like, man, this

141
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: Sam Mills football, I have really jumping off. Well alright,

142
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: So I that's indicator that I did not do much

143
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: this weekend. I watched a lot of I sat, I

144
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: did what you did, sitting on the couch with your wife,

145
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: but with alone watching network television with your wife. That's

146
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: been used in the past. You know, that's one of

147
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: my favorite Do you have any critiques from what you

148
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: saw this past weekend. I don't have critiques. I thought,

149
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: like number one, like, I do think the training camp

150
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: coverage has gotten better than where we were four or

151
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: five years ago. Really, that's a great new I do

152
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: put it on a billboard. Watching an incredible amount of

153
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: NFL network this month. Um you Sometimes in the past

154
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: you've been critical of the I would say forced jocularity.

155
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: So maybe there's hasn't been as much as that. It's

156
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: been toned down, which I which I appreciate because if

157
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: it were at the previous level, I would turn the

158
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: television like if you've got Connie involved, like, it's gonna

159
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: be great. You can you can handle that. It's sometimes

160
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: people outside of their you know, wheelhouse being trying to

161
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: be funny. My kids know Connie. They're like, oh, that's

162
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: the lady with the dogs, So they know who you are.

163
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they've seen you more more than a couple

164
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: of times. And seriously, Mark, stay away from my wife.

165
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: What I'm friends with your with your wife? How close

166
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: are you guys, we're friends. There's too many comments to

167
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: read into at this point. Graver is really you gotta

168
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: keep away from Yeah? Gravers like, hey, just a heads up, guys,

169
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: it's my girlfriend's birthday. I'm like really, And then oh yeah,

170
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: what's your name again? How did you say it? Justin

171
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: you're asking me to say it? Her name is Jessica

172
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Hunt's not how you said it, though you said it

173
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: like this, Jessica, there was a real effect to it.

174
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: And you're and you're going on a trip with her.

175
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: I believe it's that correct. We are this upcoming weekend.

176
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: We're going on a little trip, mini vacation before the season.

177
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: Jessica slightly romantic. Let's get to the news. The Browns

178
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt. Hey, listen, I guess it's progress. We're

179
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: not going to talk about the other guy with the Browns,

180
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: but still this isn't a great story. Um for the

181
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: Browns who have a running back and Cream Hunt, who's

182
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: behind Nick Chubb on the depth chart but obviously a

183
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: very important player. Um. He is looking for a trade,

184
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: he's looking to get out of town. He wants a

185
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: fresh start. According to reports, Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski

186
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: um not happy about Hunt staging a hold in during

187
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: the first week of training camp. And uh, that's because Hunt,

188
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: I guess he is looking to move on Mark He's

189
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: got one more year on his deal. But it doesn't

190
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: seemed like the Browns have a lot of reason to

191
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: move them at this time. They're not trading him. I

192
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: mean they he's back at practice. They basically shut the

193
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: whole thing down and find him and he's working again.

194
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: And to me, it's absurd, like, first of all, how

195
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: much money are you supposed to dedicate to your running

196
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: back room. They they have a great backup in Deernest Johnson,

197
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: who who in two games last year showed up and

198
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: showed well, and they've given Nick Chobb a bunch of

199
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: money and so Kareem Hunt is out of luck on

200
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: this one. He also, you know, sorry, but he missed

201
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: nine games last year. He wasn't that productive for them,

202
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: and it's like he's not an indispensable player. They will

203
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: move on and find a younger running back if they

204
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: need to know. This was the most unsuccessful holding in

205
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: hold in history. He started it because it's really only

206
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: a couple of years old. The holding and Uh. He

207
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: started it on Friday. Uh. He was back to practice

208
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: on Monday because they immediately started finding him. They said,

209
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: we're not going to trade you, we're not going to

210
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: give you a raise either. He brought he went into

211
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: the g MS office. And after this, literally two days

212
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: after the Deshaun Watts and appeal uh was uh filed

213
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: by the league. It's like hello, like the Brown City,

214
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: just hey, we've got something that's like a little more important. Oh,

215
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: by the way, we're the ones that saved your career

216
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: when you missed eight games because of domestic violence because

217
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: you were on video kicking and pushing a woman. And

218
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: then on top of that, this is the thing where

219
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: it's where I think it got crazy. And someone was like,

220
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: just go back to work. He's eighth in running back

221
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: pay this year. He's a backup running back making six

222
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: point to five million dollars. If for some reason they

223
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: were upset and they said like we're just gonna cut you,

224
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: he would not make that money back. He's not getting

225
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: more money as a guy who had seventy carries last year,

226
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: coming off injuries and has a leak suspension, And like

227
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: I had some people say it's like, well, you got

228
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta get over that. That's the old news. Like,

229
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: he's at a bigger risk because if he does anything

230
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: again of being suspended for the entire year, so of

231
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: course that effect it's like his future pay. And I

232
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: think the Browns probably told him all of this and

233
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: he quickly just went this holden crumbled so fast it

234
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: almost didn't even have enough time to develop into a

235
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: real story. I like it, though it's buttoned up now

236
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: by the time we even talked about it. That's true,

237
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: but like it's also one of the most running back

238
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: friendly offenses. When you consider the quarterback situation, they're going

239
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: to have to lean on the running game so much

240
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: so he's gonna have plenty of opportunities to prove himself

241
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: that he can get paid. So as long as he

242
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt, I mean for next year. As long

243
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: as he doesn't get hurt, then he's going to be

244
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: in good shape. He's been hurt a lot too. Well yeah,

245
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: all right, uh and other news rap sheet reported that

246
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has the inside track to win the Panthers

247
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: starting quarterback job. That a report service out there that

248
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers are maybe looking to move Sam Donald, the

249
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: incumbent in a deal. Whether or not that's legit, we

250
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: don't know. But it was a big enough story that

251
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback and the head coach UH were asked about it.

252
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Here's what Matt Rule said about the idea of potentially

253
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: shopping Sam Donald with Baker Mayfield in the house That

254
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: was obviously mentioned to me. I haven't had any those conversations. So,

255
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're in the middle of a quarterback battle.

256
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I assume along with quarterback battles, things like that are

257
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: going to be said. But there's nothing that Nothing that's

258
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: been said to me by Scott or anybody that we're

259
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: in that that's Scott as in Scott Fitter or the GM.

260
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: Donald acknowledged that he approached his GM and said, is

261
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: this legit? So is there smoke fire here? I don't know, Greg,

262
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: but Baker looks like he's in the driver's It's sort

263
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: of a fascinating window into like our media culture, though,

264
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: because it was from a radio reporter who does some

265
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: national stuff but in denver Um that's that's kind of

266
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: throws a lot of reports out there. But eventually it

267
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: got back to Sam Darnal. I hadn't even heard about

268
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: their It got to Sam Darna because someone was probably

269
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: blowing up his Twitter account or socials, and then he

270
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: ends up talking to the general manager and it becomes

271
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: more of a story. I think Sam Darna probably knows

272
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: where he is right now, and that's um being a

273
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: backup this year. Ian Rappaport said at Panther's camp, he

274
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: thinks it's it's Baker's job to lose because Baker's even

275
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: though they're splitting reps evenly, so far, Baker's shown more

276
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: high level plays. And and here's the way it was

277
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: explained to me, said Ian, is that Mayfield has more ability.

278
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: The wild plays, the splash plays have been more towards Mayfield,

279
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: So he's pulling away in this. And what are you

280
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: gonna get for Sam Donald in a trade if that

281
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: was even possibly uh nonfiction bag of spoons. I'm not

282
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: sure what you're gonna get for sandor who needs Maybe

283
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: maybe it is something where they if they can just

284
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: get rid of them for like a conditional seventh thing. Yes,

285
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: some of the salary you want. Who's going to buy

286
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: him though? At this point, because you also have Jimmy

287
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: g floating around out there, so you have him, and

288
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: then also Donald's gonna make eighteen point eight million the

289
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: season on the fifth year option that for some reason

290
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: they picked up, which was adiotic when it happened. So

291
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what his marketing is. So what they

292
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: would do is sort of do the reverse Mayfield. They're

293
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: like paying Mayfield only five million, and they the Browns

294
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: are paying ten, and they would just say, look, we'll

295
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: pay fifteen of Donald's eighteen million. Just take them. Because

296
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: they do have a rookie quarterback. They're back Corald. They

297
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: do have p J. Walker, who is is probably as

298
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: valuable as Sam Donald for what it's worth is to

299
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: a no as as the Panther starters, and at least

300
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: could be a second or third guy. I wonder if

301
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: the forty Niners are going to have to end up

302
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: cutting Jimmy so then he's just going to be floating

303
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: around out there. They don't have any cap they're gonna

304
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: hold onto Jimmy g until after final cuts. I think

305
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: they're just hoping for the landscape to go dark somewhere

306
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: where they suddenly need a quarterback that's like a twenty

307
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: five and a half million dollar capit. I think there'll

308
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: be a similar thing as Donald where if they could

309
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: find a mid to late round pick they I think

310
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: the Hill he's more right, He's even more likely to

311
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: be cut though the Jimmy G thing, I believe. UH.

312
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: Landscape turning dark? How about this podcast because we're going

313
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: into the Bearcave wide receiver issues for the Bears. First

314
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: up Byron Pringle may Or may not be ready for

315
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: a week one he has a quad injury. There's no

316
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: timetable for a return. And then nikkil Harry, who is

317
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: acquired in a trade with the Patriots UH this weekend,

318
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: suffered a potentially serious an ankle injury. I think it's

319
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: been ruled a high ankle sprain. So you know that

320
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: is never good. So for a team that doesn't have

321
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: a ton of depth really anywhere um on offense, this

322
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: is not a good sign for Justin Fields in year two. No,

323
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: And I feel so bad for nikkil Harry, whatever you

324
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: think of him, It just it stinks for him because

325
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,239
Speaker 1: he kept talking about how he was looking forward to

326
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: this being a fresh start and all of the good

327
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: vibes there and it was a really nice reset for him.

328
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: And this Bears wide receiver room just keeps taking it

329
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: after hit there down three of their top four wide

330
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 1: receivers their rookies day to day, but Byron Pringle, Um

331
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: Mattie Berflus, I learned his nickname is Fluce, so now

332
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: I just want to keep calling him Fluce. Fluce did

333
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: say he thought that he'd be able to recover in

334
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: time for that Week one game against San Francisco. UM,

335
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: but who knows what the quad injury UM. But it's

336
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: such a shame when you look at this young quarterback,

337
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: justin Fields, who's trying to this year take some type

338
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: of step because last year was a disaster with the

339
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff and the scheme that I don't even think

340
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: was really built for him at all. And now he's

341
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: having all of his wide receivers go down. So you

342
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: have Darnell Mooney and then who right, And that was

343
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: the case even when they were healthy. I always this

344
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: was one of my fifty one. Uh well, you know

345
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: what I realized is one of them was how Jamis

346
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Winston was healthy. So we gotta pull that. Pull that

347
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: out of there. You're not going to go with an

348
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: even fifty, right. I like the odd number. I like

349
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: the strange numbers. That just feels better. Like when I

350
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: set an alarm in the morning and it's always like six,

351
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: it just feels I can only do five or zero.

352
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: I swear I can't do it. So one of the

353
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: points was, you know, over the weekend, at one point,

354
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is dropping back to past and so of

355
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: course it's the first team. He's taking all the first

356
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: team reps and his three receiver set was Chris Finky,

357
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: Nassimbie Webster, and Isaiah COULTI Okay, who are the real players?

358
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: Because and this is it's one of those points that

359
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't expound on it beyond that, but you sort

360
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: of feel bad because these are young men who are professionals,

361
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: who've gotten to the highest level of the NFL. But essentially,

362
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm just by listing their name, I'm kind of making

363
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: the point that this is a disaster. I feel to

364
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: feel guilt about it. Are you in bed when your

365
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: alarm goes off at six? Seven times? This mean my insight?

366
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: Does it hurt the humans involved? Cult? And Chris Fink?

367
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: But yes, I'm not familiar with those guys who was

368
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: yelling new Simba Webster, Simber Webster, Chris Finkey and Isaiah Culty.

369
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: They definitely sound like names of Mark made out. They

370
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: also have Kevin Shaw, who made a couple really nice catch. Okay,

371
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: they got Darnell Mooney and they're probably was taking the

372
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: day off. Okay. Speaking of which injury round up, Yes,

373
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston tweaked his foot. Adam Schefter later reported that

374
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: was a rolled ankle and practice keep an eye on that.

375
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: He's of course coming back from the a c L

376
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: tear um, but doesn't appear to be too serious. But again,

377
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: Winston such an important part of what the Saints. You're

378
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: trying to do? Uh, Speaking of important parts of what

379
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: teams are trying to do. McKay Beckton, the former first

380
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: round pick of the Jets, uh slated to be the

381
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: starting right tackle. He had some type of lower leg

382
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: injury in practice on Monday. He's headed for an MRI.

383
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: I Jets fans holding their breath on that one. The

384
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: guy doesn't seem to be able to stay healthy. And

385
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Ravens first round pick center Tyler Linderbaum that dreaded Harlett.

386
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: That's scorpion woman Liz Frank on the scene. Hopefully not

387
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: one of the type of Liz Frank injuries that ruins

388
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: the season. But the Ravens once again coming off summer

389
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: in two thousand where injuries essentially blew up their season

390
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: for it started. In some ways, this would not be

391
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: something you want to have your first round pick out

392
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: of the picture when he needs valuable raps. So they

393
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: were counting on him as much as anyone is counting

394
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: on a rookie lineman around at this point. It's not

395
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: it's it's a sprain, not a rupture, according to Mike Garifolo,

396
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: which is good. This was the linder Bomb had a

397
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: liszt Frank injury in college too at Iowa, but he

398
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: also recovered from that to become the highest graded PFF

399
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: center in the history of PFF. So I think he's

400
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: like the perfect Raven if he's healthy. I mean, they

401
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: they had a great draft and he is exactly what

402
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: they need. Makes the perfect Raven. Because he's hurt, well,

403
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a newer trend. I see where

404
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: you're for the most part this um Greg's like, oh

405
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: he's a human No, no, no, no. When I've been

406
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: reading their reports and like, are the Ravens gonna like

407
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: be devastated this year? And for the most part they've

408
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: been mostly healthy. I think is Vince Biegel on their team.

409
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: I think he's out for the season, was going to

410
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: be like reserve linebacker. But for the most part, they've

411
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: been healthy. But you're right, linder Bomb. They were going

412
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: to change their offense for him because what he, you know,

413
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of like Creed Humphrey change the Chiefs offense in

414
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 1: a way like linder Bomb is a zone blocking, get

415
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: him out in space, Jason Kelsey type of guy, and

416
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: that's very much not what the Ravens have done before.

417
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: And Greg Roman kind of talked about, look, we we

418
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: drafted him because we want to do what he does best,

419
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: and we're going to add to the mix, like become

420
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: a little different on in the running game just because

421
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: of linder Bombs would be a big loss. I hate

422
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: to hear the Liz Frank name. I don't like when

423
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: it comes up. It scares me. I know that I

424
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't be scared of it, but it's just something that happens.

425
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: It's a real thing, you know, it's good. I finally

426
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: understand where the segment was going considering earlier in Can

427
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: I Apologize? I want to apologize to Colleen because because

428
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: in the initial rundown. I had accidentally put Texans first

429
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: round pick Liz Frank and literally it sent Colleen for

430
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: a spin emotionally and mentally that she didn't recover from

431
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: until like seconds before we started the show. Put it twice,

432
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: like how many Google searches do I have to do

433
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: here to figure out what the hell the story? And

434
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: because it was, this was why I was concerning. And

435
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: I know that we discussed this before the show, but

436
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: the Texans first round pick Derek did have a list franquarter,

437
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: so I was like looking for trench and updates and

438
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: there's nothing from like like two weeks, like they think

439
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: he'll be ready for week one. It's like, why are

440
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: we discussing this in news? I can't tell you how

441
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: much time I wasted trying to find the story that

442
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: was not a story today. Sorry, I threw a Molotov

443
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: cocktail into the pre show back on the ship to

444
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: be back and let's stick with the Ravens because this

445
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: is one bit of news that can't slip by us. Tucker.

446
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: It would be the longest in NFL history. If it's

447
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: good a sixty six yard try. Tucker's kick is on

448
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: the way. It is this Groff bar and in blubbles

449
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: through the time has expired. That was Sandy Tucker who

450
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: they field goal in NFL history. That Harry is in

451
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: a part and it's may have on the field. Bang

452
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: Ravens signed Justin Tucker to a four year, twenty four

453
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: million contract extension, seventeen and a half million guaranteed for

454
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: a kicker. Yeah, but this is not just any kicker.

455
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: This is Justin mother effing Tucker. Seven All pros and

456
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: ten seasons, including five times First team. That's more than

457
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: Morton Anderson Jon Stener Rude, who are both Hall of Famers.

458
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: He's in the Superstar Club for a reason, and now

459
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: he's paid better than any kicker ever, And that makes sense.

460
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: I think you're Superstar club inclusion might have um prompted

461
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: the business time I got him a couple of extra

462
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: zeros on the contract. Probably not, but if it did,

463
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: that would be a career highlight. I love Justin touch.

464
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: I'd sign him to a fifteen year contract. I just like,

465
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: let's see how old is Justin Tucker. He's probably about

466
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: thirty two. Now, I mean how many he's to me?

467
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer? He's thirty two. He turns thirty three

468
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: in November. Unless you get things go off the rails

469
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: in a horrific way. I would like argue if he

470
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: continues this for a couple more years, Greg, I think

471
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: he's first ballot Hall of Fame and people need to

472
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: use him as the president. I think so. I mean,

473
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: he's a better I don't think there's much argument against

474
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: him as the best kicker in NFL history. Like if

475
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: he retired now, so, I think you're right, he'll be

476
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: in no a doubter. And that's why you know. I

477
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: saw this money, and you're really happy for Justin Tucker,

478
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, the Ravens are teams, special teams,

479
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: and like this is all great, the richest kicker ever.

480
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: But then you look at the contract and Justin Tucker

481
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: and his family will be taken care of for the

482
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: rest of their lives. I don't feel bad for them,

483
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: but I just started like thinking about other NFL players

484
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: and what they make, and I quickly just looked for

485
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: who's making six million dollars a year on a medium term,

486
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: long term deal, and I found three quick names. Recently,

487
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: um Mark Glowinski offensive guard I would say a mid

488
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: level guard. I believe with the chance now Ted Carriss

489
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: kind of a journeyman. Uh interior alignment with and and

490
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: a receiver I like a lot. So this is no shade.

491
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: But Braxton Barrios, who's a nice receivers, probably the fourth

492
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: receiver projects down six million a year. He's just saying it.

493
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, are they winning and losing games? Like? Justin

494
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: an incredible value? Who knows where the Ravens would be

495
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: in the last ten years without Justin Tucker, but I

496
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: will I'll say that. I wonder if he ever hit

497
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: the open market, if it would be a situation. I

498
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: wonder if he thought about that. I love it here,

499
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: my family set up here. The Ravens have always taken

500
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: care of me. But I wonder what kind of bidding

501
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: would go on Justin tell a lot of bidding. And

502
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: maybe it's not about the money for him. Where it

503
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: stuff They're like, well, kickers have never made this much, this,

504
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: that and the other. And it's like, well, it's a

505
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: the kind of thing where you um, his agent would

506
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: agitate many other agents if suddenly Justin Tucker's kicking salary

507
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: was three times more than any other kid. Think the

508
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: agents would love it. I think other teams would be like,

509
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: what are you doing in the market in the market place.

510
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: If he got a out of this world contract, he

511
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: is an outlier. I feel like that would be understood anyway.

512
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Ravens, they have that our favorite streak

513
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: in the in the world uh professional football, twenty consecutive

514
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: preseason wins, which is totally bonkers and doesn't make any

515
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: sense even for a team that Oh, the Ravens try

516
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: to win. So many things have to fall into place

517
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: to win twenty consecutive preseason games. Guess who's up first

518
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: on Thursday when they continue hope to can extend that

519
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: all time preseason streak. You heard it, the Grave Diggers

520
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: team the Titans. I mean, I know, I know they're

521
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: not a division rival, but I know there's talking that

522
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: building with Mike Rabel. They would love to take down

523
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: what is like the the equivalent of football of Joe

524
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: DiMaggio's fifty six game hitting streak. Can it be done?

525
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: Can the Titans do it? If anyone can do it?

526
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: I feel like the Titans might be well positioned because

527
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: when all the third fourth stringers are on the field,

528
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: the Titans at least have Malik Willis probably closing the game.

529
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: And even if he can't do a whole lot, he's

530
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna run around and be exciting. So the Titans and

531
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens have a rivalry that goes back historically. Mike

532
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Vrabel and John Harbaugh almost fought on a on like

533
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: the would he would love to take that history is rich.

534
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: It is just so I hope, I don't know. We'll see.

535
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully Malik Willis can make some plays and make it

536
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: a game. It is bizarre. I mean, I've been going

537
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: through some old preseason box scores of of like when

538
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: this streak started, and at one point the Ravens are

539
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: winning games with fad Lewis, Josh Woodrum, and Ryan Mallett

540
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: as their quarterbacks. But they just find a way to

541
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: unbelievable and they broke the Vince Lombardi Packers record. And

542
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: you know Lombardi, he's an always playing bart star every snap.

543
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: You know, that was the whole different world like this.

544
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: This is so much stranger than whatever the Packers did

545
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: in the sixties and seventies or whatever. Does Jessica watch

546
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: a game like this with you when it has this

547
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: much meaning? She will actually probably watch with me On

548
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: Thursday Hey guys, one thing before we get the show going. Uh,

549
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: it's my girlfriend's birthday, Jessica. It is a gross exaggeration

550
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: of how that happened. We can only whisper her name. Now.

551
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break and then we're gonna

552
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: do uh some check ins on Greg's fifty one takeaways

553
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: and Connie's Camp chickens up next. Don't look about Connie.

554
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: Where do we go? Like I think I wrote this

555
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: down Bucks, Rams, Broncos. You went to the Bengals, But

556
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: you also said that was so long ago you don't

557
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: remember it anymore. Is that correct? Pretty much? So we're

558
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: not going to hold you to that was the first

559
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: camp at this point, it's a little blurry like there

560
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: there was a lot of hotels, a lot of plane rides,

561
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: a lot of camps, a lot of stuff to remember,

562
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: so memory not your strength, No wonder why um what

563
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: about fans? A ton a ton of fans. I love

564
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: the listeners of the show. They're the best. They are

565
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: the nicest across the board, and that's always been the case.

566
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: But at all of the camps there have been a

567
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: t n listeners there. Even when I did something in

568
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: d C with Micole Hardman and players from Bayron Munich

569
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: the soccer team. And when I was there, one of

570
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: the guys that works at the stadium or does pr

571
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: for someone there, his name is Taylor, and he wanted

572
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: me to say hello. He's such a big fan. So yeah,

573
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: shout out to all of the A t N listeners.

574
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: Now are you getting recognized in airports NonStop? When you're

575
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: going getting a lot of CONTI foxes, which I love

576
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: any tiny boxes, tiny boxes, boxes, don't don't yell that

577
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: out that like that people yell that out from the

578
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: crowd just because I feel laugh though, police if you

579
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: if you talk to her private, I just feel like

580
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: that could confuse a lot of people and it makes

581
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: you uncomfortable, but not not apparently nothing. I went to

582
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: a concert and only what I'm Friday with my Bob.

583
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: We saw Sam Fender, who's like an up and coming

584
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: British rock guy, and we got there yeah, and I

585
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: was like, oh, man, you noticed in this venue that

586
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: at the fund of theater a lot of Brits are

587
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: there And I was like, okay, Like our throwback pot

588
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: has a lot of like overseas listeners. It's Sam Fender,

589
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: A lot of people came over to see him in

590
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: a small venue as opposed to watching him in the

591
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: seven throw Glastonbury. I'm setting the over under two and

592
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: a half for a t N listeners being here. Within

593
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: thirty seconds I turned around, there was a guy right

594
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: in front of me with his wife, very nice. Talk

595
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: to him intermittently throughout the evening the performance. Two more

596
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: people and the we hit the over, hit the over.

597
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: They're everywhere now. I like that. Cots knew you guys.

598
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: Did the large man like follow you around the venue? No? No,

599
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: it was just like a general admission scenario and we

600
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: had a good spot on the stage, like one more point.

601
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: Don that happens sometimes. The guy that was outside of

602
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: Elmo's at the Combine was my favorite, just completely took

603
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: his attention away from everything else. You have that effect

604
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: on people. County congratulation. Thank you, Thank you. All right,

605
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Do you want to share it

606
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: before we get to Greg's top fifty one? Do you

607
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: want to share something from one of the camps, maybe

608
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: foots on the ground. I think your your notes are

609
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: going to be better. So the most recent place I

610
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: was I was at the RAMS on this past Saturday. Um,

611
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: and I know that you guys had Allen Robinson on

612
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: the pod. That was a great interview. I was cracking

613
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: up Mark when you asked him if him and Stafford

614
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: just like look at each other sometimes and are like

615
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: they we're way better off at this point. Yeah, it's

616
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: got to be real, Um. But he caught a beautiful

617
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: no look pass from Stafford on Saturday. It was right

618
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: behind us UM where we were doing the show. Cooper

619
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: Cup raved about him afterwards, so they obviously love him.

620
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: It's not hard to see how he's going to be

621
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: amazing in this all offense. But Leonard Floyd Um was

622
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: another guy that we talked to on defense who he's

623
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: going to have an interesting role in the past rush

624
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: considering von Miller isn't there anymore. And I feel like

625
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: his journey is one that people don't really talk about

626
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: a lot because he was cut by the Bears. He

627
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: signed a one year deal with the Rams. He delivered,

628
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: then he got a really nice pay day and won

629
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So his last two seasons have been

630
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: the best of his career. He has twenty sacks and

631
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: the last two seasons combined, and he had offseason ankle

632
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: surgery this past year. It was something that had bothered

633
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: him all season. He had played through it, so now

634
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: he's healthy. I think he's going to play a big

635
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: role in that pass rush. But there was a hilarious

636
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: exchange when we were talking to him because m j

637
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: D was NonStop talking about his rams super Bowl ring

638
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: all day long. So I asked him how important m

639
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: j D was to their super Bowl run and Floyd's

640
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,959
Speaker 1: response was that he didn't know m j D worked

641
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: for the team, and that really just made everything so

642
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: worth I took it down a peg, I assume, yeah,

643
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: but in terms of like that he's the best, He's

644
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: so much hard to where he could take that. Oh

645
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: he was. He was not happy about it. And then

646
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: and then Floyd was like, well, my ring is bigger

647
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: than yours. And Jenny was like, we got the same ring,

648
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: it's the same size. Is that true? Yeah, because we

649
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: had J B Long who was at the same ring.

650
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: J's partner on the radio. That's pretty cool that you

651
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: get the same ring. O. Yeah, they don't give you,

652
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: like would be that respect that would make sense, like

653
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: if you're you're on the coaching staff. Hell, even within

654
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: the team. I think Matthew Stafford's ring should be way

655
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: bigger than I don't know, like John Wolford The Bachelor,

656
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: like that would be Aaron Donald's rings should be you

657
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: could see it from space. I could see a lot

658
00:35:54,160 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: of hard feelings there, but not as big as you know.

659
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: It just keeps guys hungry. Sometimes you hear about, oh

660
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: this idea, Well, they want a title and they got

661
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: soft not if your ring sucks, nothing would push them

662
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: to do to achieve more. I worry about their pastors.

663
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: They're They're one of those teams that there's some good

664
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: teams where everything is like set, Like the Bengals have

665
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: no position battles for instance, going on. There's just a

666
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: few really boring camps because there's not much to be settled.

667
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: The Vikings, weirdly are one of them. The Rams have

668
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: open spots, is my point. Like Floyd has the one

669
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: and a total question mark of who's going to kind

670
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: of be their other addressers. All right, that's good, and

671
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: by the way, I I still think there's a little

672
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: more to the Stafford thing that everybody is trying to

673
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: chill everybody out. UM with the elbow situation. Um with

674
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: Stafford on Friday when we were there, talk to somebody

675
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: high up with the team off Mike and he kind

676
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: of laughed it off, is nothing. Then Sean McVeigh after

677
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: Stafford through in Saturday's practice said he will sleep better.

678
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: Why would you say you sleep better if it everyone says, oh,

679
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: this is no. They don't know. No one really knows,

680
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: You're right. I think it's a little bit more of

681
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: an issue than they want publicly people to let on,

682
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: and hopefully it doesn't. I thought, you know, saying that

683
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: he's never dealt with an injury like this, it's more

684
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: of a baseball thing, but that, like, I think it's

685
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: a wait and see the situation that could be more

686
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: concerning than six the ardor and that was I think

687
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: what McVeigh was specifically answering was like, Oh that was that.

688
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: I think it's more of just a pain tolerance thing

689
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: to not necessarily something that's going to affect how he throws,

690
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: just how he deals with the pain when he does throw.

691
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: This sounds to me like it's been a situation that

692
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: they've dealt with for a while, at least Stafford has

693
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: for a while. And I think the reason they knew

694
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: about it when they're hoping for relief with there, and

695
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: they didn't get it. We're not gonna We're not gonna

696
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: see Stafford obviously in the preseason. We're not going to

697
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: see according to the l A Times John Wolford either.

698
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: So this is just a little quiz your depth chart knowledge.

699
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: Who would be get in line to get snaps for

700
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: the Rams? No, looking at your laptop, Greg, I got it,

701
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: but I give it about Bryce Perkins. I was there

702
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: for the last year's preseason opener and Perkins played the

703
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: whole time basically, And how does your mind work? A

704
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: memory effected? Yeah, I mean it is, but it contains

705
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: got the rock. What do you give me a fifty one?

706
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: Give me one of the fifty one? What's your favorite one? Well,

707
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: not favorite, but I think the juiciest one we haven't

708
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: discussed on this show is the whole Patriots idea that

709
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: they're really going through with, like installing this zone blocking

710
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: scheme that after after twenty one years, Charlie Weiss arrives,

711
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: you could really go back to the mid eighties with

712
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: Ron Earhart and Bill Belichick will talk about it when

713
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: they installed this offense for Phil Simson and other players

714
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: on the Giants but with the Patriots, you can go

715
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: back twenty one years to the offense Charlie Weiss installed.

716
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: They've been running that offense since. In terms of the

717
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: running game, it's like like a power power running game, uh,

718
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: where you're taking up the blockers. Now they see what's

719
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: going on around the league. They lose Josh McDaniels, who's

720
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: a fantastic offensive coordinator, and there was like this kind

721
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: of whispers like, oh, we're gonna start installing this zone

722
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: blocking scheme in the off season, but people weren't really

723
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: sure if they meant it um and the Patriots weren't

724
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: talking about it because they don't talk about anything. Fast

725
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: forward to this training camp and anyone watching the Patriots

726
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: on a daily basis is saying they didn't just like

727
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: tweaked the old offense. They ripped it up. They started

728
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: from scratch, and it's going horribly that mac Jones looks

729
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: out of sync. He looks uncomfortable. The most um telling

730
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: quote Tom Current pointed out, and this is why Curran's

731
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: the best. That just sort of as an aside, Mac

732
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: Jones said at one point in his press conference that

733
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: he was getting his feet wet in the new offense,

734
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, wait, we didn't totally know you

735
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: had a new offense, and wait, why is Mac Jones

736
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: getting his feet wet? Also, they were a top ten

737
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: scoring team with a rookie quarterback and a pretty lackluster

738
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: group around him. They were a very effective offense last

739
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: year considering they had a rookie quarterback, primarily because of

740
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: their running game, and um, he ripped it all up.

741
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, it's gonna be Matt Patricia

742
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: and Joe freaking Judge. That's like, that's installing it and

743
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: I was trying to It's just it's what a rippled

744
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: trickle down effect from losing Josh McDaniels, because none of

745
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: this would be happening and you'd be, you know, enveloping

746
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: Matt Jones with a great offensive coordinator. And now instead

747
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: you have the hubris of the Patriots to think, we'll

748
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: just install Matt Patricia as an untitled play caller. That's

749
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: who's in, Like, how does he know how to install? Like, well,

750
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: why is it fine? Sean? No, I don't think it

751
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: is fine. I think, well, no, that's not fine either.

752
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: You're right, But if they were running the same offense,

753
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe that can work. You have Belichick

754
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: running it, you have the institution, and maybe maybe it's

755
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: all work in the end. But it is a huge

756
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: departure from their gap heavy sort of power rushing attack

757
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: which was the core of their offense. And these are

758
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: the guys installing know exactly where this is going. It

759
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: might work out in the end, but managed to a

760
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: very important story. This is just another version of oh

761
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: my god, what are the Patriots doing? They have no

762
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: idea what they're doing. And I mean talk to me

763
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: in like November, because the Patriots always end up starting

764
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: a little slow anywhere angle. I think they are a

765
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: huge obviously, they represent a huge question mark in the

766
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: A f C entering the season, and it does seem

767
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: to point to if you're getting the Patriots on the schedule,

768
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: and this is kind of how it always has been,

769
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: like get him in September and into October because there

770
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: probably will be some bumps and bruises for this team

771
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure things out right now. But again also

772
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: with Patricia, yeah it's the play caller, but things if

773
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: things are going poorly and the boss thinks it's Patricia

774
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: playing a role, well, Elichick is gonna call plays. He's

775
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna take practices where he has right And I think

776
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: if this zone blocking scheme is going poorly, he might

777
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 1: just rip that up and give up. Why are they doing?

778
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: That's what I would think. But current Bill Belichick thinks

779
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: it's better for the Patriots. I think the personnel that's

780
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: the thing that's confusing. They have these big offensive lineman

781
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: that on paper fit the old scheme better. Oh when

782
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: you certainly Trent Brown to me that you know they

783
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: drafted Isaiah Win with this other scheme in mind, then

784
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: they draft call Strange and that was sort of like

785
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: a a tip off to where they were going. Who's

786
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: maybe gonna fit better in like a zone scheming. Current

787
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: thinks that belichicks into deep that that basically he thinks

788
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: this is gonna be better for the organization in the

789
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: really long run, and that if they have to stink,

790
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: even for a season or whatever, it's gonna be that

791
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 1: he felt like, basically they were running this old attack

792
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: and the league has changed, and this was the change

793
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: he wanted to see and that he's gonna stick with it.

794
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: But Greg Bdard, who has watched every Patriots practice forever,

795
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: was like this was the worst practices I have seen

796
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: in my life, with maybe the exception of the Cam

797
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: Cameron Dolphins, is that is it worth it to put

798
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: Mac Jones through that? Just in his second year in

799
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: the league, when he said, young, how many voices are

800
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: in his head right now? To calling plays when you're

801
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: used to just one Josh McDaniels and you guys have

802
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: a rhythm, and now all of a sudden, there's like

803
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: three different voices and three different personalities. It reminds me

804
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: of what bad teams do, where it's like you had

805
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: you had the best rookie quarterback a year ago, and

806
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: you've found a way to muddle it up and remove

807
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: all momentum. I think I'm the only one. Not really,

808
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm not paying I'm not freaking out as much as

809
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: like I find it fascinating, because I do find the

810
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: excellent fascinating is one thing, But team is not disorganized.

811
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: It was a calculated move and they sort of used

812
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: the mc annuals departure for him to do something he

813
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 1: wanted and it I I don't question his bona fides,

814
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: but it's dramatic considering they've they've literally been running out

815
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: of that old playbook and some capacity for twenty one years.

816
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's one of the Belichick even with

817
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: Brady there, sometimes it took time for them to figure

818
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: things out. And maybe it's a little more rocky this year,

819
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: or maybe even a lot more rocky. But I think

820
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: come November, I think they're going to be in the

821
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: mix for the wild card. They could be in the

822
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: mix for the division. Um. I think there's a lot

823
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: of like idea that the Patriots are gonna be terrible

824
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: this year because some of these things going on. I

825
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 1: think there's a better chance that they figure it out.

826
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: By the time it counts, they'll probably win nine games

827
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: or ten games. I don't have an issue with that.

828
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: I just something about the whole Matt Patricia and come

829
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: back home things that they've dealt with. It is unusual

830
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: to me, all right, Connie, what else? Okay? So, also

831
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: two little random things on the ground with Tampa. So

832
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw this, but Mike

833
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: Evans before he um hurt himself, he is a huge

834
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: Harry Potter fan, so much so that he got a

835
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: Harry Potter tattoo, a pretty sizeable Harry Potter tattoo. On

836
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: his calf this off season, which I was with Steve

837
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: Smith Sr. In Tampa and we were asking him, like,

838
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, Harry Potter hasn't really come out with anything

839
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: new in a while, So what prompted you this particular

840
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: off season to go with the tattoo? He loves Harry Potter.

841
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: He said, he watches it every day and that's how

842
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: he falls as That's how he falls asleep every night

843
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: putting on a little HP. That is the last thing

844
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: that I would want in my ear as I was

845
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: falling asleep. He said a little He said that that's

846
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: a direct quote little HP. He was so funny about it.

847
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: He was great. And then we also talked to Leonard

848
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: for Nett, who had a lot of fun about all

849
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: of the trash everyone was talking about him coming into

850
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: camp overweight. Um. He laughed a lot about it. But

851
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: he also, I don't know if you guys saw this,

852
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: there was a clip floating around on social of him

853
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: brushing his teeth on the sideline at practice, and so

854
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: we were asking him about that and he told us

855
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: that he has about right now Ballpark, about forty toothbrushes

856
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: in his locker. So I tried to get into the

857
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: weeds on that a little bit more to to find

858
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: out why. But I was getting wrapped, So there is

859
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,479
Speaker 1: some intrigue there as to why he has My father

860
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: in law is a retired dentist. I'm gonna ask him

861
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: when is it too much in terms of brushing. I

862
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: would imagine you would run into potential enamel issues if

863
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: you're repeatedly scrubbing, you know. I think I would be

864
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: more concerned about gums, like gum recession, you know what.

865
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: So wait, the NFL network decided that wasn't not a

866
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: interesting enough We had been talking to him for a while.

867
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: This was at the end of the interview, um, and

868
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: so he was just going on and on about how

869
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: important mouth hygiene is. Um. He's like, by the way,

870
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: there was a break. Yeah. So those were two little

871
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 1: things from Bucks. I get I'm in the lead. I'm

872
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: in the weeds a little bit like things like Harry

873
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: Potter and Lord of the Rings. But I understand it's

874
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: it's incredibly meaningful of those franchises to people. I don't

875
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: know anything about Potter about a giant tattoo on the

876
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: calf for a thirty year old man. But at the

877
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: same time, I was seeing like, is there a point

878
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: he gets older, maybe he ends up having a family

879
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: where he feels differently about Harry Potter. But I think

880
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: the answer is probably no. If he's this in at

881
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: this point, he's got I don't know if he has children,

882
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: but I'm sure he's excited to introduce the Harry Potter franchise,

883
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: maybe the books. I mean, if it makes him, I'm

884
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: sure every day that he sees it, it makes him happy.

885
00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: Who's to be graduated? Jason LTE's son, uh uh? The

886
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: Bucks GM His son was there waiting for an autograph

887
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: from Mike Evans and so we brought him over during

888
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: the interview, and Mike Evans and and us we were

889
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: asking him if he knows anything about Harry Potter. He's

890
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: a young kid, little kid. I had no idea of

891
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: what it was. Mark, do you want to throw out

892
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: a nug from Greg's right up there? You number nineteen?

893
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: Is this the old number nineteen? Or that's a good question.

894
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 1: Not since the Texans Tyler Linde mom drama has something

895
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: gotten so confusing Rocky Morning, Um, this is so predictable

896
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: to me. I can't believe that this is happening. We

897
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: already didn't know what was gonna happen. Carson Wentz is

898
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: struggle leading camp with its accuracy to the point where

899
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera is having to openly discuss it and say

900
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: that they're not thrilled with how he's playing. I mean,

901
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: it's just like you went out and heat steeked this

902
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: quarterback when the market was still wide open to go

903
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: in a number of different directions. And Carson Wentz has

904
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: been a hot mess in multiple venues years in a row,

905
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: and now he's in Washington struggling, big surprise. And I

906
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: think it's notable because the other side is he's having

907
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: a great camp. He's really picking up. It's like he's

908
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: standing out to what what was the one of the

909
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: defensive players was chasing him out of bounds and yelling

910
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: at get rid of it, get rid of it, right

911
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: because he was like he was outside the pocket in

912
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: a normal play. Manta Sweat is chasing him. He's gonna

913
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: get the sack on the play, and it's saying get

914
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: rid of it, get rid of it, like don't go

915
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: out of bounds because you're gonna take a seven yard lost.

916
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: But Wentz did not get rid of it. It's just

917
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: I've seen this play so many times, so I know

918
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: how the movie ends. It's great. They've also been missing

919
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: three of their starting offensive lineman almost the whole time.

920
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel has been in and out. But it Wentz

921
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily pass that. I feel like they're the baseline

922
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: test of an NFL quarterback is like, when you're protected

923
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: in a game, can you deliver? Because almost all of

924
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: him camp, like Daniel Jones to me, for instance, passes that. Like,

925
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: if you're just protected, Baker certainly passed it. If you're protected,

926
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: can you just deliver? That's sort of the baseline. And

927
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: like Wentz is doing this against air, it's not against

928
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: the pass rush. It's not not even when when they

929
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: have well, at least he's a ferocious team leader. I mean,

930
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: it's just as poorly every single team. The reporters are like, well,

931
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: the defense is crushing the offense. So that is every camps,

932
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: every time, the defense is always ahead of the offense,

933
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: except for Jared goff Like they just like Jared goff is.

934
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: But with Wentz, it's like the main thing coming out

935
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: of camp is that he is consistently inconsistent, and that

936
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: has been his entire career. I mean up until that

937
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,959
Speaker 1: seventeen year when he got hurt. He was really good.

938
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: Before that, you could see the flashes and they boom.

939
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: I can't believe we have to watch Jared Goff again

940
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: on a high profile NFL Films documentary series. That's part

941
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: of it is And I think you might have rams

942
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: all or Nothing, RAMS twenty all or nothing rams and

943
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: now are hard knocks Rams and now somehow impossibly almost

944
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: two thousand lines. It's not Goff's fault in a way,

945
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: It's just that there was so much. He's not the

946
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: most dynamic presence, but they have a lot of other

947
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: personality on him. Let's hope Williams has a huge personality.

948
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a star on the show.

949
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: Like at this point in the NFL Films crew, Like

950
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: there has to be multiple people in that crew that's

951
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: getting invited to Goff's wedding. They have to be close

952
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: at that. They have spent a lot of times, all right,

953
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: give us another Camp Chicken. So for the Colts, um,

954
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm really high on the Colts And

955
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just because I ended up

956
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: like spending a little bit more time with them or not.

957
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: But Frank Reich, he is over the moon with um

958
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: Matt Mattie. I was going to call hi, Matt Ryan.

959
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: This is all connected directly to Carson Wentz by the

960
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: way too, because they didn't wait to get him out

961
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: of the building. So anybody that comes in they're gonna

962
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: be happy about. But then when it's a former m

963
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: v P and a potential Hall of Famer, it was

964
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: put it this way, not to talk of you. I'm

965
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna throw it right back to this was a perfect

966
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: um storm for Matt Ryan lovin this summer. Oh you know,

967
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: no question about it. And all I've heard from the

968
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: team is just how intense Matt Ryan has been since

969
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: coming in, just taking taking over that like leadership role,

970
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: teaching everyone NonStop like everyone absolutely loves him. And also

971
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: the fact that Frank Reich finally got Reggie Wayne on

972
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: the staff. This was something that Frank Reich had been

973
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: trying for for years. He said that he probably called

974
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: Reggie like fifty times to come and be the wide

975
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: receivers coach. So now Reggie's there, and they really love

976
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: their rookie Alec Pierce out of Cincinnati. He's fast, he's

977
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: got good hands, he can catch those balls. And this

978
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: is an offense where Michael Pittman Jr. He really emerged

979
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: as the number one target last year. So now if

980
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: they can get something out of Alec Pierce, I think

981
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: that he could play a big role in this offense.

982
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell, Well, it's like Paris Campbell season. Uh. You

983
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: hope that the injuries don't happen again. Maybe they don't

984
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: this year. But this is like when I think about

985
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: this offense with Matt Ryan, the fact that he's never

986
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: had a run game like this, this is one of

987
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: the best offensive lines he's probably had. Also, something that

988
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: I found out at camp it is not pronounced Bobby

989
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: o greeky. He is going with a more traditional Nigerian pronunciation,

990
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: so it's bobby Okayricka. That's news you can use exactly. Yeah,

991
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: Shack leonard Um. I asked the Forest Buckner like if

992
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: it was weird. Uh. He was like, no, We've all

993
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: been calling him shock and so it really wasn't like

994
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: that big of a deal for us. But he was

995
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: like the okayackay thing through me. He's like, because I

996
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 1: usually like greet him in the parking lot every day

997
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: and say, oh, go Ricky, and he's like, so, now

998
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: I can I gotta like change that up a little bit,

999
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: all those all those times, like a tear was going

1000
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: down his cheeks. He decided this year. But um, I

1001
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: did find it interesting that like their their schedule, they

1002
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: haven't won a season opener since the Colts that always

1003
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: start really slow and they play I think it's the

1004
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: Texans and then the Jags on the road first this year,

1005
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: so like getting a fast start, so they're not in

1006
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: the situation that they were in last year where they

1007
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,479
Speaker 1: needed to win one of their you know, two last

1008
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: games to actually make the playoffs. If they can get

1009
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: a fast start, then that would be nice because then

1010
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: their home openers against the Chiefs week three, they might

1011
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: they might have Shaquille Leonard. That to me is more

1012
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: concerning than the change. He's hurt. And I think you

1013
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: mentioned Pierce as a starter. They're gonna have a couple

1014
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: of rookie starters. Sounds like Nick Cross, like a third

1015
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: round rookie safety has just been one of those guys

1016
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: that they say like immediate day one starter, which you

1017
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: do not necessarily expect that of a third round pick.

1018
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: They had another third round pick who it was a

1019
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: lot of people's top tight end in the entire draft,

1020
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: gilannie Woods, who was apparently buried and like wouldn't probably

1021
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't make the team if not for being the third

1022
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: round pick in his fourth or fifth on the depth chart.

1023
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: But that's one of those guys. Like on draft A

1024
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: fantasy heads are like, oh, gilannie Woods, that could be

1025
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 1: someone we draft, and then you get to the camp

1026
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: and and he's buried. All right, let's take a break

1027
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: and then finish out our conversation. All right, welcome back.

1028
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: Let's hit a couple more greg on your list. Uh,

1029
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 1: you know what you point out on number thirteen or

1030
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: is it number twelve? Under cause for concern? It's officially

1031
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: time to worry about the Packer offensive line. They've been

1032
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: struggling in camp. Uh, Elgin Jenkins headed for the publist

1033
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 1: most likely to start the season. We all know what's

1034
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: going on David back tr and what what what I

1035
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: mean is nobody knows what's going on with David backr

1036
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: other than he's missed basically all of last season and

1037
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: there's no timetable for return now. And I think it

1038
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: makes me think more bigger picture, and we just talked

1039
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 1: about it with the Patriots earlier teams that watch out

1040
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe for slow starts. Not only is the line of

1041
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 1: work in progress um in front of Aaron Rodgers, Obviously

1042
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 1: chemistry is different with Davante Adams not there, and Rogers

1043
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: has to learn how to you know, get a connection

1044
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: with his new wide receivers. So you combined the loss

1045
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: of the star wide receiver with offensive line and transition.

1046
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: That has the recipe for some ten to twenty point weeks, right,

1047
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: and you're at You're at Vikings week one, You're at

1048
00:56:55,160 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: the Bucks week three, two tricky road games. They it's

1049
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 1: just asking a lot of Rogers. Packers fans will point out, like, look,

1050
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: Jenkins and Backdary were gone most of the y, which

1051
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: it is a totally fair point than the gate scenes

1052
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: in the end, but they also it's just like guys

1053
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: you don't think about Lucas Patrick left for the Bears,

1054
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: Billy Turner left for the Broncos. So those were guys

1055
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: that were starting and playing for them too. So it's just, man,

1056
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: it's asking. It's a Rogers kind of makes his offensive

1057
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: lineman in some way, but that's asking a lot. It's

1058
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: putting so much on Rogers this year. They really are

1059
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: putting a lot unsure as you got another one, Mark,

1060
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by the reports on Isaiah Pacheco in Kansas City,

1061
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: seventh rounder in the running back race, and they you

1062
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: just send Gregg Writes and his thing. He's making noise

1063
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: in a wide open running back battle and he just

1064
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: moves different. He's getting he's getting first team snaps with

1065
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. So that's the kind of stuff I like

1066
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: to watch in the preseason as someone who's bubbling up

1067
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: in practice starting to penetrate the first team depth chart.

1068
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: Enter Mark Sessler, Zack Center All this guy sounds a

1069
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: little spicier than out center. Potago is one of those

1070
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: guys that you saw like in the draft process, that man,

1071
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: he just moves crazy. He's a little bit of an

1072
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: upright runner. Uh But he's someone in the preseason that

1073
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: can earn a role, like a big role. It sounds

1074
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be their kick returner, which means he's

1075
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna be on their game day roster. And it's Andy Reid.

1076
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: That running back room seems like totally wide open for

1077
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: him to just step in and be one of a

1078
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: preseason rushing champion. Never forget you more than any other

1079
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: person preseason rushing ship. I think that matters. I feel

1080
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: like Damie also carved out not the worst little career

1081
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: for himself. I mean he hung around. Texans fourth round

1082
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: pick Damian Pierce feels like another fantasy like sleeper that

1083
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: could emerge in the preseason, but that the rookie like

1084
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: reports are important, probably more important than anything. Like there's

1085
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: some guys like Romeo Dubbs in Green Bay. It's like,

1086
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: now you'd be surprised if he wasn't starting or having

1087
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: a big role in Week one and he was a

1088
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: fourth round rookie that he's already passed Christian Watson, the

1089
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: guy that they rated up all those picks four in

1090
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: the second round, who hasn't been able to play at all.

1091
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: But then there's also the flip side. And the one

1092
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:07,959
Speaker 1: point I did want to just get in here before

1093
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: he moved off was the Bill's cornerback situation that Kayer Elam,

1094
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: their first round pick, has really been struggling, that they've

1095
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: picked on him, and they they're thinking, maybe it's because

1096
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: you have to go against Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs

1097
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: in this offense and practice every day, but that you know,

1098
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: he's splitting reps with the sixth round pick Christian Benford,

1099
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: who has maybe looked a little better, and then you

1100
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: kind of look at the whole picture. Trade Avious White

1101
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: is coming off of a torn a c L. He

1102
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to practice at all. They're a little

1103
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: thin there to begin with. It's like Dane Jackson and

1104
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: a couple of rookies that are struggling and potentially got

1105
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: the Rams. Week one, the defending champs is two and

1106
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: a half point underdogs at home. I'm not saying the

1107
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: Rainmakers coming out on August eight, but traditionally that one caught.

1108
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: That one caught my eye because you know it's the

1109
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: home gate team in Week one. Generally I would give

1110
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: them regardless and they could be matching up against some

1111
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: pretty nice receivers there for the Rams. I am just

1112
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: looking over your article, which everybody should check out. You

1113
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: could find it on NFL dot com. Um. The weird

1114
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: coach stuff section is something that I didn't notice when

1115
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: I first pulled up this article. But I didn't realize

1116
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: that Brian day Ball isn't letting the media or fans.

1117
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,439
Speaker 1: How do you how do you police fans post any

1118
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: clips from practice after before? I think there are a

1119
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: decent amount of teams that do this. So initially media

1120
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: is putting up the videos and and that's happens all

1121
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: over the place. You see it all over the place.

1122
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: And then they have the pr staffers or whoever, like

1123
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: the really lowly coaching assistants like tell the media you're

1124
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: not allowed to do that. We're gonna change policy, changed

1125
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: policy a couple of days into practice. You're very important

1126
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: to make the wide receivers of the Bears. You humanize them.

1127
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: But then the coaching staff is referred to as the

1128
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: lowly members of the coaching staff. I get it. But

1129
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: table is the one who's being a jerk to them

1130
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,919
Speaker 1: by like, okay, you gotta be the one to tell

1131
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: the media they can't send out videos. But then even

1132
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: lower than that is whoever stuck going into the crowd

1133
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: and stopping the fan. But but you know what's interesting,

1134
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: what was most interesting about it, and I think this

1135
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: was Dan Dugan of the athletics. Way to fight back,

1136
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: just a little bit was he said without mentioning. A

1137
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: source said that Dable has staffers monitoring other teams videos

1138
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: that have less stringent policy, So he actually believes there

1139
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: is a competitive advantage. But I like that, Duke, and

1140
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: put it out there that Dable's got people checking Twitter

1141
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: to find uh maybe let's say some division rivals or

1142
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: whatever that might be. Like they're doing like scouting reports

1143
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: on Twitter and into seeing what they can get. Yeah, listen,

1144
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to judge. Let's see how he does.

1145
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: Do you have anything else from your takeaways? Connie? Before

1146
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: we move? Those were the main ones. Those were the

1147
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: good ones. All right, keep following, Connie. She's going to

1148
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota next where else You're going, Oh yeah, that's the

1149
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: last stop. Yeah, I think we're going to talk to Justin.

01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: of the hotel. Do you do you remember that? That's

1153
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: all I remember is that I walked out those doors

1154
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: and it was a short, cold waf It's not inann

1155
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,760

1157

Speaker 1: well known hotel chain that also has a t J Fridays.

1158
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: That is a very famous stop on the A t

01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: and History tour. Still to this day, the only guests

Speaker 1: of uh, we're lucky enough to be able to bring

1161
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: guests with the super Bowl, the only guests that we're

1162
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: still awake at three am and getting loose. Um. When

1163
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: we got back to the hotel after recording the super

1164
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: Bowl wrap up podcast, my bro there Kevin danger Hands

1165

Speaker 1: good crew we got home. That was fun time with

1168
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: the Fridays. I can't figure which hotel this is. It's

1169
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: confusing because there's actually a Friday's in the mall of

1170
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: that's how popular and that's how good this Friday is

1171
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: is they have such great service that they've survived despite

1172
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: there being another Friday. Literally half of my all day

1173
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: the roller coaster and do all of the things that

1174
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: we had done right. Of course, I forget what other

1175
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: rides we wanted. That was long afternoon and there's probably

1176
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: no digital foot footprint of all at all connected, completely

1177
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: lost in the We do have the pictures though, of

1178
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: us um I love the West in those pictures is

1179
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: a standout. That's the first West had been like to me, Wow,

1180
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that you were so pigeon toed. And

1181
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: I was like, thanks, West, thanks for noticing. Like when

1182
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: I get tired, it becomes more announced. West weirdly was

1183
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: super into people's gaits. He noticed everyone's different types of walks,

1184
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: and he would categorize them, and he would speak and

1185
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: analyze them. It's true. Often yeah, he was like, you know,

1186
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: some of the best athletes in the world are pigeon too.

1187
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: Pigeon he was part of the also have incredible calf muscles.

1188
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's sorry. He loved he loved calves and others.

1189
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: So maybe he was in my He loved he loved

1190
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: what was inside of him. Don't we all, um, all right,

1191
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: before we go, why don't we check in, uh quotables.

1192
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: What are some quotes that justin graver uh, sometimes with

1193
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: our assistants, sometimes on his own, came across in the

1194
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: last week or so, and let's react to them. But

1195
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: turn it over to you, Mr grave Digger. All right.

1196
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to Yes, I really wanted to like expand

1197
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 1: and hear from some coaches or players that we hadn't

1198
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: heard from in the last segment. Unfortunately, is just so

1199
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: like he's perfect for this segment. Everyone was talking about

1200
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: this whenever never apologize. Yeah, I just you know, we're

1201
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: not a team that you know, We're not a team

1202
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: that reaches the ball across the goal line, you know.

1203
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: Uh um, you know. I told the guys, hey, after

1204
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: you score touchdowns, celebrate, have fun today. This is a

1205
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: this isn't a true game, but we're playing it like

1206
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: a game. But in between the white lions. So this

1207
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: was Baker Mayfield hit former Brown's teammate Chard higgins um

1208
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: for a touchdown and higgins leaning did they lean the

1209
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: ball over the thing? And rule kind of like shut

1210
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,959
Speaker 1: the whole thing down and said, we don't celebrate that way.

1211
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: The Panthers don't operate that way. This is not how

1212
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: we we do things. And it caught fire on Twitter.

1213
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: You're saying, like in between the white lines, like celebrate

1214
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: but not don't celebrate first downs. I mean, I think

1215
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: it got missed considered a little bit because a lot

1216
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: of teams, I think smartly have a don't uh you know,

1217
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: put the ball over the goal line. The Patriot It's

1218
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: like every anytime someone messes up doing that. They're like,

1219
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: how come they don't just make them not do that? Yeah,

1220
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: you know what. I it's fine to get on. Matt

1221
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: rule has been incredibly unsuccessful so far, but I'm gonna

1222
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 1: give him a pass on this one. I'm sure it

1223
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: was used as a reason why he sucks again, but

1224
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I'm not buying this one.

1225
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: Everyone made fun of the we're not a team that

1226
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: reaches the ball across the goal line, like, oh, yeah,

1227
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: we know, don't score? Got it? Got it? Got it?

1228
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: He stepped right into that one. Whatever, what else? All right,

1229
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: here's Mike McCarthy explaining why he chose the mojo after

1230
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: a slow start here, what do why do you chose mojo?

1231
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: And Daddy's talking mojo moments again? Alright, yeah, this, let's

1232
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: hear it. You know, because when you get ready for

1233
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: team meeting, obviously you look at in your office and uh,

1234
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: sitting there watching my office, I just thought this thing

1235
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: was the funniest thing ever, you know, and then you

1236
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: play in the team meeting and that's not the response

1237
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: you get. And I said, I said, well, I obviously

1238
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: enjoyed us a lot more than they did, but they

1239
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,959
Speaker 1: it made the point it's always trying to do something.

1240
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: Oh he's reflecting on last year on Hard It's back.

1241
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: I saw this actually doing to go well last summer.

1242
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: I did. I was doing my column and I saw

1243
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: last Monday he was talking about how he had brought

1244
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 1: mojo moments back last year because they were on Hard

1245
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 1: Knocks last year, of course, and um in his Mojo

1246
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: moments set up, he had a clip from Austin Powers

1247
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: to the Spy Shay and ninety percent of the roster

1248
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: wasn't even born when it came out. So maybe one

1249
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: thing he updated was some of his pop culture references

1250
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: within mojo moments. But I don't know right, And but

1251
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 1: he they're having a Kicker competition there. They both had

1252
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Mojo moment opportunities. It was the first one of camp.

1253
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Both kickers missed that was that was a bad side.

1254
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: But I just a mojo moment was it's a rare

1255
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: run where I think it actually somehow was even funnier

1256
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: in print. But this was part of the quote was

1257
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: he says, it's a clip all they'll never forget because

1258
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: it's just a little different. It's obnoxious talking about all right,

1259
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: one go this segment is nose diving? All right, what

1260
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: else we got that? Smith? This one's fun, right, and

1261
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: stop being critical of the quotable segment. You know it's

1262
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: just not to breathe a little bit. We don't need

1263
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: to post mortem every clip. I'm atting sort of a

1264
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: game show element where each one gets a score. I

1265
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,680
Speaker 1: often support failing segments verbally, you believe the segment is

1266
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: failing something. I think it's fair to say that the

1267
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: last time we did it it was a rollicking event,

1268
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: and it's gotten off to a slow start. There's still

1269
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: time to recover. I would counter that. A reason why

1270
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's not off to ah as fast at start

1271
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: is you guys won't shut up about saying what's working

1272
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 1: and what's not working. Why don't we just let it roll? Well,

1273
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: you're also critiquing our critique. So all right, you said

1274
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. No, I know Geno Smith is going to

1275
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: bring the goods. Let's see what he's got to say.

1276
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 1: I will go on record to say I have his back,

1277
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: no matter what. I have Drew locks back. You know,

1278
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: I want that to be known. And we're team mates,

1279
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: we're competing, uh, you know, we're in the same offense.

1280
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 1: And we're in the same room and we're gonna make

1281
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: each other better. Unbelievable. Okay, this is great. I mean

1282
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: that's that's a teammate. When it's a teammate, I think

1283
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: Gino Smith and I absolutely Greg believe every time Jew

1284
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,799
Speaker 1: Locke takes a snap, Gino Smith is the guy rooting

1285
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: for him the hardest on that side. He was then

1286
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: loving there scrimmage on Friday, Drew Lock started ten for

1287
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: ten for ten for one and two touchdowns to start

1288
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,759
Speaker 1: off against the Seahawks first team offense. Still not getting

1289
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: first team reps, but Drew Lock won that round. Was

1290
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: that hard for you to see early? It's early, but

1291
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: I think it opens the door. Gino didn't do that

1292
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: bad either. He scored, you know his he ran the

1293
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: offense and the numbers were fine, and he scored a

1294
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 1: couple of times. But Lock, I've got a nice day.

1295
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: All right. Let's let's break down that one. How was that? Mark?

1296
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 1: I thought that one that that had better production elements

1297
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: to it. Um, it had more going on for it

1298
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: in general in terms of its spirit. Good. Okay, that's good.

1299
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: If it's a fast paced segment. Absolutely what else we got?

1300
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 1: All Right? Let's go to Dan's jets, all right and

1301
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: discussing the first round pick. Sauce Gardner. That's a great

1302
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 1: talented you know, obviously long lean athlete. You can see him,

1303
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: um so, but he's he's a mod right now until

1304
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: he until he gets to the field. He's not sauce

1305
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: yet until until he plays and he balls out, then

1306
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 1: we'll call him sauce. But he's a model right now.

1307
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Little that's carl Lawson, by the way that Okay, I

1308
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: go to earn the sauce grave digger just to make

1309
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: the segments say, yeah, I really give a little more

1310
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: started playing it and he's not. Sorry, Carlson. We're getting

1311
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: we're getting better another definitely another season. We're working through stuff.

1312
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good though, Lawson. Lawson's back and looking

1313
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: good too, so that's good. He's taken sort of the leadership.

1314
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: And also infamously, when we had Cavon Thibodeaux on the show,

1315
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: um last month, that's the right word for it, he said,

1316
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: I don't want anything to do you. Essentially, I don't

1317
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: want anything to do with any rookie hazing. Nobody can

1318
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 1: stick me with a bill, Nobody could do anything to me,

1319
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: I like this more old school mentality where it's like,

1320
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 1: I know you're Sauce Gardener in your mind and that's

1321
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: what your chain says, but you're a mod until your

1322
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,679
Speaker 1: sauce on the fell field. I'm with it. You can't

1323
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: just like walk in here with that nickname and not

1324
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: earn it. Like that's. By the way, our friend Cavan

1325
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: is um having a very nice training camp according to

1326
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: multiple reports. I don't want anyone to misconstrue um our

1327
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: infamous interview interview. Yeah, for the first the first time

1328
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: when when Gregg moved to l A and we had

1329
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: we had started our version of our podcast, The Debate Club.

1330
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: Greg's only piece of advice was, if you're gonna do it,

1331
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: why not do this professionally? Why not have it be

1332
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: actually like a podcast that sounds professional. Right, sounds like

1333
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: an obnoxious comment from a guy. So I don't feed

1334
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Greg to listen to the Cavan interview necessarily. Oh really don't.

1335
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: Now you're beating yourself up too much. Well, no, I'm

1336
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 1: saying it was not. It's not sounded professional. I think

1337
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: back in the day it was it was more of

1338
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:10,919
Speaker 1: a sound quality thing, right, I think I missed this interview,

1339
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: but anyway, my point being, uh that you know, it's

1340
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 1: okay for a rookie to have to earn it in

1341
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: our league. That doesn't mean you have to tape him

1342
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: to the goal post. What else we got, Let's check

1343
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: in with Russell Wilson on how hard he's gonna work

1344
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 1: in Denver. Oh boy, here we go. Well, I think,

1345
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: first of all, I think that, uh, you know, for me,

1346
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: I've always been about, you know, the extra work. You know,

1347
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,560
Speaker 1: if somebody says you gotta do x x amount, not

1348
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 1: triple it everything, just triple it. You can understand why

1349
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's a source of eye rolls within

1350
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: his own locker room at times. I talked to him

1351
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: at training camp when I was in Denver, and you know,

1352
01:12:55,640 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: I tried to get him to answer something about see Attle.

1353
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 1: Tried to like walk m into something UM and asked

1354
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 1: him like about the importance of a first start considering

1355
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: their first game is against Seattle. UM. But what he

1356
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 1: ended he didn't go for any of it at all.

1357
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: But then he ended up talking and saying that you

1358
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 1: have to play without emotion, which I was like, wait,

1359
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: but isn't everything isn't competing like emotional, and he was like,

1360
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: you can play without emotion. You can be passionate, but

1361
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: not emotional, And so that was his whole thing about

1393

Speaker 1: I guess, type in NFL channel and you can come

1394
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 1: up maybe a flashier name for that. Well, there's NFL

1395
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: Network and NFL Channel and some people probably call NFL

1397
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,240

1398
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: app on your phone, you just go to the top

1399

Speaker 1: NFL Network, and then under that there's NFL channel right YouTube.

1401
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,519

1405
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,519
