Four Detroit Lions quarterback Jerry Goff 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.400 joined us to explain how they plan to get their 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:20.840 groove back in Motown. Oh, and we can't stop talking 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.320 about quarterbacks or the teams that haven't settled on theirs. 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:25.440 With the true. 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:29.160 Competition set to begin as camp's open, our experts break 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:34.440 down the battles. That's right, we're going head over heels 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.159 as we get ready for the insiders or are. 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:39.479 We welcome the Monday? 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.440 Here on the insiders, we moved one day closer to 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.120 the trainee camp. I have joined by our insiders, Ian 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.640 Rappidboard and Julia Bautista, who can't get enough of watching 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.040 Cam Scataboo do his thing. We'll get to him later 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.320 because new today, the Packers in defensive end Devonte Wide 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.560 have agreed the terms on a new three year, fifty 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.520 seven million dollar contract. According to Ian Rappaport, Whyott was 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:03.600 dunching the final. 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.000 Year of his rookie deal and the Packers' rookies. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.240 They report to camp a week from today on July 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.960 twenty seventh, with the veterans arriving on the twenty eighth 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:12.880 and news. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.600 Out of Seattle Seahawks. 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.240 Second year of safety Nick Eman war one of the 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.800 top young defenders in the NFL, will enter training camp 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.440 on the physically unable to perform lists a team and 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:26.200 outs today. Per rules, Eman Warry can be activated at 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.920 any point during camp when he is medically cleared. 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:31.240 All right, let's take a look. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.160 At the teams that are going to be reporting to 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.080 training camp. Is he the Seahawks and Niners rookies already 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.480 getting to work, and a little bit later on the 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:43.080 full rosters for the Panthers and the Cardinals, we'll be 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.120 getting it going. Is they are the first teams to 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.360 kick off our preseason on the Pro Football Hall. 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:48.840 Of Fame Game. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.000 And let's get back with Judy Batista and Ian Rappaport. Judy, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.360 let's start with you and some of the training camp 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.400 storylines you're most interested in. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.680 I'm actually interested in three two teams. One of them 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.080 was on that list of the teams that are opening soon. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.440 Bill's Steelers, Ravens, all highly successful teams that have moved 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:13.080 on from longtime head coaches who'd had a ton of success. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:13.440 At those places. 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.400 Two of them, of course, won Super Bowls for those teams, 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.560 Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh, all three moving on two 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.639 of the teams going with rookie head coaches. I am 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.240 fascinated to see, first of all, how they put their 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.040 fingerprints on these teams, all of whom are built to 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.760 win right now. We're showing you the Pittsburgh Steelers, obviously 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.320 with a forty something quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, they are 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.359 trying to win right now. But the other two teams, 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.080 of course have League MVP level quarterbacks. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.040 They are built to win right now. 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.960 These moves were made to get a new voice in 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.920 maybe to get some energy and to get them over 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:49.360 the hump. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:50.960 They haven't been able to get. 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.680 Back to the super Bowl in Pittsburgh, and in Baltimore, 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.200 and of course in Buffalo, they haven't gotten to the 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.440 Super Bowl in the Sean mcdonought eres. So it's going 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.720 to be interesting to see how they put their fingerprints 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.079 on these franchises. It's a big roll of the dice 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.919 by ownership to break up with longtime head coaches who 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.839 were consistently getting you to the playoffs. But we've seen 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.680 it before. New coaches bring new energy and new messages. 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.839 Is that going to be enough to get these three 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:18.839 teams over the top? 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.400 So many fascinating storylines. Is we get into training camp 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.000 and I want to focus here, Judy on the quarterbacks, 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.920 no surprise, and I'll start with the team that is 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.840 having their players report first. That is the Arizona Cardinals 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.200 on the twenty second veterans and rookies both reported. As 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.440 of right now, the Arizona Cardinals do not have their 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.960 starting quarterback under a contract that he would want to 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.600 play under. Jacoby Brissette has been over the course of 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.720 the last several months of rolling in contract negotiations with 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.560 the team, trying to get a little more money considering 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.440 he is going into the season as the starter. Sutainly 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.480 some drama there because if he is not there to 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.480 take the first team reps, is Carson Becks who could 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.360 possibly challenge him? And how much do those reps help? Meanwhile, 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.800 for the Minnesota Vikings, no doubt one of the biggest 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.720 storylines of all of training camp. They have their quarterback 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.840 battle as well as Kyler Murray is a JJ McCarthy 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.680 that is going to be going on throughout camp, through 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.599 the preseason games, right up to the start of the 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.719 season obviously has wide ranging ramifications for the organization, but 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.360 who ends up being their starter will go a long 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:30.320 way determining just how these Minnesota Vikings end up doing. 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.320 Yeah, that's gonna be one of the top story lines 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.600 all through training camp all bet we see the games 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.600 being played in week one. I want to bring things 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.080 back closer to Los Angeles because they are two high 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.040 level young pass rushers who are up for contract extensions. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.640 And let's start with the Chargers. And that's as Tully 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.560 twea Polo to who is. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.440 Just coming off a thirteen and a half sack season. Yes, 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.640 he's playing alongside Khalil Mack, but he is eligible for. 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:57.880 A contract extension. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.440 There have been conversations, we're getting closer to the opening 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.880 of training camp, nothing has been finalized. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.799 Tua Polo too, only twenty three years old. 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.040 Seems like he's of the age and of the ascension 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.880 to be a defensive pillar the Chargers. 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.640 Would like to build around. Now let's go over to 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:16.280 the Rams. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.159 Yes, the offseason conversation deservedly has been around their acquisition 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:24.400 of Miles Garrett, but Byron Young, another third year player, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.120 is coming off of a twelve sacks season. He is 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.640 somebody in three years who has twenty seven and a 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.160 half sacks, and with Garrett on the other side, those 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.560 numbers could continue to go up because. 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:35.960 The attention that's paid to Garrett. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.640 One thing that could really hamper young and a big 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.360 deal is he's twenty eight years old. 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.760 That's kind of old for a third year player. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.480 But that is going to be something to watch going 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.320 into camp and through camp because these are two ascending players, 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.120 Judy and Ian. We will be back with you a 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.280 little bit later, and let's go to Detroit where their 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.520 rookies report to training camp Saturday, and the Veterans court 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:05.039 on July twenty eighth, and their quarterback Jared Goff, has 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.600 something to say about how things could go as camp 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.560 gets going. 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:10.719 It's be great. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:11.880 Let's go, buddy, it'll be great. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.360 Let's go. Let's go to work today. Fellows back on track, 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:14.680 let's go. 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:15.360 What was that? 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:19.200 Big? 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.000 And no one's coming up? Tell us make some plays. 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.599 Let's go. This is the one here. Golf turns gives 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.720 to Gibbs, Bill, Gilly big, what do you got? 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:32.040 Gets lit school little still little still blue, Lil score, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:33.359 LIBI still goody. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.400 That is one of my favorite wins of all time? 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.520 All right, Jared here joining me in Stacey Dales and Jared, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:42.960 I just want to get kind of right to it. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.840 How did not making the postseason last year impact the 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.440 approach heading into training camp? 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.320 Yeah, I think it made us really hungry, really, it 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.719 really did. And even though we had a winning record 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.280 and we were nine and eight, it wasn't good enough. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:57.960 We came in fourth place in our division, and it's 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.640 it's really you know, we came up in a lot 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.920 of ways, and finding a way to win our division 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.800 first again, get back on top of our division we 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.040 had won it two years prior, and finding a way 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.160 to win that division and then see what happens when 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.280 you get to the playoffs. But yeah, we're hungry, man, 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.960 we really are, and certainly excited to get after it. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.120 Jared, The relationship between the play caller and the quarterback, 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.400 as you know firsthand, is so essential. What is that 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:27.000 relationship like with Drew Petson, your new offensive coordinator, and 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.480 how you share ideas and create concepts within this offense. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:32.320 Yeah, he's been awesome. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.680 He really has been great to work with and I 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.600 really want to try to be an extension of him 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.720 on the field, and then hopefully he's an extension of 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.680 me when coming up with plays throughout the week and 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.760 having ideas. So it's trying to be on the same 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.680 page at all times and constant communication. That's what I 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.160 try to do with him is just talk with him 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.520 as much as possible, and I know he's doing the 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.720 same with me, but making sure we're on the same 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.360 page and understanding each other to the fullest extent. And 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.200 there will be growing pains, there always is, But up 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.920 to this point, man, it's been really, really good and I've. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:01.880 Had a lot of fun working with him. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.760 You have so many weapons on this offense. We know 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.800 the dual threat powerhouse that Jamira Gibbs is'm and Ross 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:15.280 Saint Brown three straight all pro seasons. What is it like, 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.800 Jared working with him as your go to guy and 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.560 understanding he's just always there for you, and the daily 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.080 experience of training with him. 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.680 Yeah, he's the best, he really is. And you know, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.640 for I think he's the best wide receiver in the league. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.679 I think he's the only guy who catches with it, 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.360 runs with it, blocks does everything. He can do it 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.760 all and it's it's a lot of fun to work 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.640 with him and to play with him and the way he. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.199 Works in practice, he makes he makes me want to 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:42.800 get him the ball. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.199 He makes me want to reward him for all his 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.160 hard work, and you know it makes everyone around him 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.600 work harder. And he's just such a great teammate, great player, 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.960 great person, and I love playing with him. 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.120 Like you said, the numbers back up the fact that 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.080 he's one of, if not the best wide. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:58.760 Receivers in the NFL. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.520 Why don't you think he gets more acclaim when people 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.120 talk about the best wide receivers. 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.480 I don't know, man, that's your guys' show. Okay, Yeah, 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.560 it's on our lab. Well done, Jerry, I'm doing my part. Yeah, exactly. 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:13.520 We do what we can do. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.000 Hey, but Jared, also, you know we see the pizza 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.640 boxes behind you for little seizures. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:18.839 Is what can you tell us about that? 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:19.839 Yeah? 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.120 I'm honored I was chosen to kind of represent Detroit 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.200 in that way and to be with the Little Caesars now. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.959 I've been seeing them across Detroit for so long and 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.559 being able to partner with them today and do this 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.520 campaign will be a lot of fun and I'm excited 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:32.800 about it. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.760 All right, man, Well, good luck we'll talk to you soon, Jered, congratulation. 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:38.959 Thank you. I'll get you some pizza soon. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.560 Okay, excellent, I'm down all right. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.160 I think Jared pipluats pineapple on his pizza too. Another 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.040 storyline to watch heading into the twenty twenty six NFL 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:52.280 season is whether the World Cup reignites the debate over 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.160 playing surfaces. Spain's one zere A victory over Argentina in 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.680 the FIFA World Cup Final at Metlive Stadium yesterday once 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.679 again and put the spotlight on natural grass for the tournament. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.160 Fever required MetLife and several other NFL stadiums with artificial 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.559 turf to install temporary natural grass fields, reinforcing its long 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.480 standing mandate the world the World Cup matches be played 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:20.599 on grass. Some NFL players have voiced their opinions on 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.840 social media. Here's George Kittle, grass still looks great. Let's 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.559 use grass instead of turf, Jonathan Taylor natural grass is 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.439 an out of reach prioritizing players shouldn't be either. We 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:36.040 are worth the cost. There's NFL Field director Nick Pappis 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.079 back in April with Judy Batista at the league meeting, 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.160 addressing this matter specifically, We've got the. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.520 World Cup coming to the United States this summer, they're 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.120 obviously using a bunch of NFL stadiums, so there are 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.440 grass fields in those stadiums, and. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.040 Of course everybody wants to know, why can't we just 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:54.079 keep those grass fields? 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:54.360 Nick? 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.480 Yeah, if ever it was so simple, I think, you know, 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.440 the biggest thing you can to remember about the World 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.440 Cup tournament is that it's got exclusivity in these buildings, right, 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.640 And I think that's one of the big pieces. The 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.800 only thing that's going to see those playing services is 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.920 going to be World Cup matches, and that's not a 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.120 normal usage of our venues. The other thing you got 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.040 to consider is the duration of time. It's only going 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.839 to be what June and July, and then we'll see 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.560 those those fields exit our stadium. So it's a short 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.120 term option. It may work well for the World Cup, 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.400 it may work well for their athletes, who are very 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.640 different than our athletes. The demands of the game are 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.079 also very different, and I think just making sure that 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.760 that is even a viable option for an NFL venue. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.040 Is something that still needs to be determined. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.160 Yeah, don't look like anything's going to be changing soon, 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.240 but look at some of the MetLife Stadium. 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.200 Notable injuries on the artificial surface. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.960 You're saying Aaron Rodgers, Malik Neighbors ACL and the Bosa ACL, 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:53.120 Jimmy Garoppolo Ankle Sterling Shepherd had two injuries on that 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.079 MetLife Stadium field. So let's bring back Judy Batista and 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.520 Ian Rapid for wrap, Ian Rappaport for the Sorry about that. 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:05.079 I but Judy, this really has reignited the conversation. But 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.040 will it reignite any changes? 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:10.280 I don't think so. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.240 You heard Nick Pappas explain, like NFL stadiums are not 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:19.240 like what FIFA was demanding. FIFA demanded nothing else go 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.719 on in those stadiums for weeks ahead of time. The 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.120 grass was laid down like ten weeks before the World 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.040 Cup even began, and then, of course the World Cup 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.839 has been going on for five or six weeks with 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.079 nothing else happening at that stadium. Well, like MetLife Stadium, 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.680 for example, has stuff going on constantly, not just giants 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.520 and jets, games, big concerts, tractor polls, all kinds of events. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.520 So it's hard to imagine that that grass field would 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.160 hold up very well under all of those conditions. And 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.720 that's the case in most NFL stadiums. Now, there are 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.000 NFL stadiums that have grass, some better than others. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:53.240 Right. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.280 There have been complaints about the grass in Pittsburgh and Chicago, 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.559 not surprisingly their climates are tough like New York is. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.480 But in Florida, for example, the Miami Dolphins own their 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.280 own sub farm and they replace the natural grass regularly 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:11.160 because that stadium hard rock does host a whole variety 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:12.960 of events, So you. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.839 Could go that route. Certainly, there is an economic consideration 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.640 here for a lot of teams. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.760 The question is are you better off with bad grass 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.600 than a good artificial turf. The other thing to keep 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.280 in mind is this conversation is going to. 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:27.040 Continue to go on. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.920 There are eventually going to be CBA negotiations between the 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.000 Players Association and the league, and the Players Association could 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.679 certainly make a decision to press this issue during those 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.200 negotiations and then you see if those two sides can 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:41.880 come to a deal. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.079 And that's really going to be fascinating, Judy, because it's 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.719 one thing to have a grassroots social media push, which 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.520 seems to be going on now from the NFLP now 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.080 that their leader JC Tretterer is in charge. And really 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.200 kind of the first grassroo movements we've. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:57.760 Seen under the new leadership. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.080 It's another thing to say during CBA negotiations that we're 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.760 going to put our foot down on grass versus turf, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.560 when really there are other issues, monetary issues that generally 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.319 kind of come to the forefront and generate much more 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.480 of the spotlight. This issue is not going away. The 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.920 turf is getting much better. I think that's one of 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.760 the things that the NFL has talked about part of 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.080 the problem here, Judy, You know this as well as anyone. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.480 The NFL has presented the evidence that turf is really 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.760 not worse than grass on any sort of noticeable level. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:34.360 For whatever reason, people and especially players don't seem to 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.520 believe it. Getting everyone to understand the real actual evidence 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.120 will certainly help in this matter. 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.360 Yeah, you know, there's that evidence right there. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.280 But again, with the players are saying the grass actually 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.320 feels better on their bodies, that's something that should be 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.600 held into account. And we do know a lot of 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.720 teams have added grass practice facilities even if they play 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.280 in their games on turf. 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.040 All right, Judy and Ian, thank you so much. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.840 Kamara down with the Saints back for another season, Another 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.480 former Saints legend running back is going to be here 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.320 to talk a little bit more about Camara and his 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:15.520 impact in New Orleans. I know, yeah, Cam'scattaboo. Over the weekend, 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.080 you had to flipping out. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.320 Oops. I think hopefully we stick the landing a little 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:20.960 bit better than that. 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.640 We come back here on the Insiders a little bit 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:26.480 more discussion. 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.600 Welcome back to the Insider's role. 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.640 Over the weekend, Giants running back Cam Scattaboo gave the 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.960 fans a bit of a scare when he attempted to 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.640 backflip and fell at fanatics Fest. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.720 Didn't quite stick to landing, but no need to worry here. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.400 Scatabou made sure to let everyone know afterwards that he's 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:50.080 just fine. 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.280 So when I took off, I was in mid air, like, 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.600 holy cow, I'm not going to land this. I'm way 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.080 too high landed. But it had too much cushion. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.760 It wasn't a stiff, firm ground, so it's wind of 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.800 kind of like went back safely. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.000 Landed, got back up, it was good to go. 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:07.800 So nothing came out from that. 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.440 I'm perfectly fine, nothing happened, We're. 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.640 Good, okay. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.000 And Jueyt of course he had to reassure he was 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.440 reassures he was good because he's coming off of a 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.560 broken tibia and an ankle injury that cost him a 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.240 big part of his rookie season last year. 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.120 Judy, I saw your reaction on social media. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.760 How do you think the Giants themselves felt about Skataboo 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.120 saying being not quite risk averse. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.240 I think the Giants probably realized this is part of 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:43.400 the Cam Stataboo package. If you remember, he actually stuck 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:47.040 the landing on a back flip during a charity softball 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.880 event with his teammates a few months ago, and John 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.160 Harbaugh joke during mini camp like he told him they 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.600 maybe not do the backflip so much anymore. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.760 So maybe that message needs to be delivered. Listen, Cam 0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:58.680 Scataboo is a. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.960 Big part of this Team's going to be a big 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.840 part of this offense, assuming that he is fully healthy 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.120 coming out of training camp. They want to run the ball, 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.280 they want to be bullies, they want to dominate the 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.200 line of scrimmage. They've got a pretty good running back room. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.439 It's him Tyrone, Tracy Singletary is still there. They got 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.440 a bunch of good running backs. They need him to 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.280 be healthy. They need him to be to bring the 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.000 electricity that he brings. I thought his relationship with Jackson 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.680 Dart really powered the movement last year where you saw 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.720 sparks for the future. Jackson Dart, by the way, is 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.879 a really good friend and teammate. He said, Wow, that 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.200 was really great burst that he saw a good explosion. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.560 So this is part of what you get with Camp Scataby. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.640 You just have to hope he can stay in one 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.480 piece and he can bring that energy and intensity to 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:44.960 the field. 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.040 Yeah, this is really the nine Missionnario in so so 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:50.879 so many ways. Jude I was spending time with the 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.680 general manager earlier this summer. You got a call from 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.880 someone very high up at his organization, and the first 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.440 thought that this person had seeing the phone call was like, 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.280 oh my god, because really there's no reason to call 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:07.639 a general manager during the summer. Ever, if there's something 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.760 like cool happening, just text, because any phone call you 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.200 know it's bad, right, And so if Joe Shane is 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.080 getting a call about Camps Scattabou hurting himself doing a 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:21.280 backflip at some Fanatics event, that is all bad. The 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.960 other part of this is so much of what teams 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.680 want to do during the summer is literally just get 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.520 to training him. Don't anything stupid happen, keep everyone clear 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.560 out of trouble, no issues, keep everyone healthy. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:35.760 Just get them through training camp. 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:39.960 And in an unforced era, almost camp Scattaboo nearly made 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.040 that a complete disaster. Everyone just stay on your feet. 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.960 We got like a week to go that you could. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.560 Just go back to football and do whatever you want. 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.159 Guys the window guys who suffered big injuries while they 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.520 are jet skiing, while they're all playing basketball, things like 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.760 that that have enabled them not to get to training camp. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.800 Had he stuck the landing, I think we would have 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.119 been okay. But he did cause a little bit bit 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:00.560 of a start. 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:04.240 All right, a week or so to go intil the 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.439 Green Bay Packers reports to training camp and they are 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.440 doing some work, as they have done really for much 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:11.479
