1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we are not psychotic or psychic.

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: I am Greg Rosenthal and beyond lucky today to be

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: joined right off the top of the show with one

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: of our insiders. It's our weekly insider segment, and this

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: time it's Mike Gara. Folo also will be joined later

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: in the show. Very excited about this by Brian Baldinger.

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: But before we do that, it's it's time to talk

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: some news with Mike. He couldn't stand that Ian got

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: the first two spots on NFL Daily and he got wow,

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: he was available. You know, he was just on TV

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: that day and available in there.

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: That's what we do.

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: He's very unselfish in rapaport.

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, you guys have a very close, unique relationship.

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: We're going to get to that a little bit later.

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: But I wanted to start the show just doing the

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: news with someone who covers it NonStop.

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: So Randy hit the drop. Let's do it.

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: Surprising bit at training camp, Mike news on Thursday that

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson wasn't out there with his calf injury that

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: no one knew about before Thursday. So Justin Fields got

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: out there. He's thrown pretty deep balls to Van Jefferson.

23
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Van Jefferson come down with a deep

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: ball in quite a while, so that was nice to see.

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Might be their number two receiver. They don't have much

26
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: right there, any long term concern maybe not just this injury,

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 1: but doesn't get any chance here that that Justin Fields

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: makes this a battle, I think so.

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: Mike Common likes to play his guys in preseason games.

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: He talks about it, talked about it last year. You

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: get into an environment like that, it gives you a

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: chance to see how those environments are to dress rehearsal.

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: A lot of coaches are resting guys these days.

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: Mike Tomon very much old school in a lot of ways,

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: wants to play these guys. So Justin Field's going to play,

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson's going to play. And what does Justin Fields

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: do when he plays? He does sensational things. Now we

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: can have a whole separate argument about how he plays

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: the quarterback position. Does he need to win more from

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: the pocket and with his arm and move defenses with

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: his eyes and all that stuff. You can have that conversation,

42
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: this conversation which you said, will he make it closer? Yeah,

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: because he's gonna get in games, and you know what

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: he does, even if he doesn't do it with his arms,

45
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: even if he does it with his legs, he makes

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: sensational places. He's going to do that in the preseason.

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: He's going to do that in training camp. And there's

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: going to be a little bit of a temptation for

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: the wow factor that we saw on display when he

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: was with the Bears. There may be people in this

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: tands clamoring for him. You may get some of those scenes.

52
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: You know what he's gonna do. So, yeah, I think

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: he's going to make it a competition, even though that

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: Russ is in what Tomlin called the pole position, if

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: I recall correctly.

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been getting all the first team reps.

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: And this is one of those stories that all the

58
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: Steelers reporters pushed back so hard. And they're there and

59
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: they're talking to people and they're like, this is not

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: a competition. Russ is out there kissing babies at minor

61
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: league baseball games and he's taken everything and he's just

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: is better. And I get all that, but then you

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: get to training camp and the players see these two

64
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: guys and you mentioned what's happening in the preseason. I

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: just don't think there's that much of a gap between

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: their quarterback ye type skills.

67
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: They're very similar justin fields.

68
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Is just not as good as Russell Wilson was at

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: that age, but a much younger, faster version with the

70
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: similar skill set, and you start off training camp with

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: a calf injury. To me, it's a little bit of

72
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: a concern, another bit of a surprise. This's been a

73
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: little under the radar Patriots camp, starting with Drake May

74
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: taking a lot of first team reps so all off

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: season long, Grod Mayo, you know, puts Jacoby Brissett says

76
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: it's his job, he's the number one guy, and even

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: said that to a start camp, but did leave room

78
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: that hey, it's a competition. If he outplayed them, then

79
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: he would have a The fact that on day one

80
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: they're already splitting up the reps between May and Brissett.

81
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: As a May fan, I was like, Okay, this is

82
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: game on now. I feel like it's fifty to fifty

83
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: at worse for me to get that job in week one.

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I expected a much different split, and I saw

85
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: guys out there in New England who are covering the Patriots,

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: saying it was, you know, pretty much fifty to fifty,

87
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: you know, counting the reps and you know the stats

88
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: when you get in the training camp.

89
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: I always find that funny.

90
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: But the stats told you how many passes these guys through,

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: and then there were a couple of tuck and runs

92
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: from Phil Perry, who covers the Patriots, say there were

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: some tuck and runs from Drake may as well. So

94
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: the numbers were pretty much even when it came to snapcount.

95
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: I think that's the most important number in Patriots training camp.

96
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: And you're right, I think that was certainly an indication

97
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: that maybe that's more of a competition than we thought.

98
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: You know, I did hear some talk that Drake may

99
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: Is needs a little seasoning and maybe needs to sit

100
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: for a little.

101
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: I don't get that at all.

102
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: And you saw a peek into what he was like

103
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: in the meetings with the Giants. Hard knocks and the

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: way that he was I think they showed both Indianapolis

105
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: at the combine and when he was in the building

106
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: as well. And you saw him breaking down things at

107
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: the board, able to spit things back. That to me

108
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: showed NFL radiness. You know from a mental standpoint, you

109
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: got to now take it and do it on the field.

110
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: But to me, you know who was I talking yesterday?

111
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 3: I was talking about Patriots fan yesterday about who their

112
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: starting quarterback was going to be this year, and I said,

113
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: I don't know who it'll be to start Week one,

114
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 3: but I can tell you it'll be Drake May at.

115
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: Some point this season.

116
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 3: I'm willing to say that.

117
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: And I know the schedules brutal to start the year.

118
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just what it is this year

119
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. The schedule is going to be tough.

120
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: He's got to play at some point. You are around

121
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: this Eagles team a lot, and I was very interested

122
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: in the Jalen Hurts Nick Sirianni dynamic through last year

123
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: and even into this offseason. Sometimes when they were at

124
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts especially asked questions about it. He just gave

125
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: strange sort of playing the answers. When he had a

126
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: chance to give Nick Sirianni some love, he didn't necessarily

127
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: do it. He was asked about the reports about their

128
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: relationships to start training camp, so we're gonna listen to him.

129
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: In his opening press conference of camp, I think.

130
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: We're in a great place, you know.

131
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: I think anytime you have any frustration, anytime you have

132
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: any any adversity that you have to overcome, it's supposed

133
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: to test you.

134
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: And I think it's a matter of being on the

135
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: same page, you know.

136
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: And I think if we are on the same.

137
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 5: Page, well maybe we would accomplished the things we would

138
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 5: have and you know, we didn't.

139
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: But it's a learning, learning experience, hmm, a little bit

140
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: of a I mean, I like what he's saying now,

141
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: he knows they both need to be good to be successful.

142
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: But he basically said, we weren't on the same page.

143
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: No, No, I think that's an admission of that right there.

144
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: And it's certainly what we heard.

145
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: And I extended to, you know, the entire coaching staff,

146
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: the entire offensive coaching staff, and the offensive coordinator. There

147
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: was definitely and Brandon Graham flat out set it that

148
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: their assistant coaches, I forget how he phrased it, but

149
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: basically just weren't on the same page between the players

150
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: and the coaches. So it extends beyond Jalen Hurts and

151
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: Nick Sirianni. It extends to the entire coaching staff. Needing

152
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: a reset, and they made some changes, and they certainly

153
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: made changes at both coordinator spots, and that, to me

154
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 3: is the one that I'm most concerned about if I'm

155
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: the Eagles. Not necessarily even Jalen hurts to Nick Sirianni,

156
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: but Jalen hurts to Kellen Moore, who's supposedly coming in

157
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: with fresh ideas with some skins in the wall as

158
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: an offensive coordinator, a guy who's got experienced, you know,

159
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: I thought at times last year I would have.

160
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: Questioned some of the things.

161
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: That they were trying to do, particularly in crunch time

162
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: and some of those games with the Chargers where they

163
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: just didn't deliver. So but he's certainly got a great

164
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: offensive mind and the ability to kind of make defenses

165
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: defend every blade whatever, you know, the cliche you want

166
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: to use on that one, but that's what he does.

167
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: And he's good with spacing, and they'll bring.

168
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: In some motions and some things that we didn't see

169
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: from a stagnant offense last year. And uh, if you're

170
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: the Eagles, hopefully that kickstarts thing and and you've got

171
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: a better relationship between your coach and your play color.

172
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry as a man who's frollically challenged Mike any

173
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: annoyance that you know, hurts who has a great hairline,

174
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: is covering it up there. I mean he you know,

175
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to not notice him in that tank top.

176
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: He's he's an impressive looking young man.

177
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's handsome.

178
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: I'm willing to say it.

179
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: Probably saying why cover that thing up? You're you're you're

180
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: that young. I know, I know the hat looks good,

181
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: but you know.

182
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: You know, if if you've if you've got hair, you've

183
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: got flexibility. Right, if you're you're like me, You've only

184
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: got one pitch, and it's not even a fastball. It's

185
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: a pitch.

186
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: The Cowboys being thrown from some tough pitches. I would

187
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: say at their press conference. Usually I've been an Oxnard

188
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: for that opening press conference. It's like the State of

189
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: the Union. Everything's great, everything's exciting. There. There have been outs

190
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: over the years, and this time they faced a lot

191
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: of tough questions. One was to Jerry Jones and he

192
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: was asked if he thought this is going to be

193
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's last year as a member of the Cowboys,

194
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: so let's listen to that.

195
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 6: I don't think so. Just to be very specific, I

196
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 6: do not think that this will be his last year

197
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 6: with the Cowboys at all. The the is there? Am

198
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 6: I being psychotic relative to my Mira? No?

199
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: No.

200
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 6: In my life, I've had a lot of things I

201
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 6: wanted that I couldn't get because I couldn't afford it.

202
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: Come on, Jerry Jones is saying that there's a lot

203
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: of things in his life he couldn't afford.

204
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 2: That means there was no price.

205
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: That's what that means.

206
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 2: Whatever he wanted, Yeah, like a super Bowl, that's what

207
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: he can afford. Like, come on, join the rest of us.

208
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Not not not empathetic there, And they used some funny

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: numbers too. They were like throwing out, oh, it could

210
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: be seventy five percent of the Kip, Like, what are

211
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: you talking about between between Mike Ceedee Lamb and Dak

212
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: Presselett It would not be nearly that much. I mean,

213
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: they're just throwing out some crazy things. What did you

214
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: take away from this press conference? Another one that Stephen

215
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: Jones through out there in this just for context, was

216
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: that both Michael Parsons and Ceedee Lamb. Ceede Lamb is

217
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: the one that's holding out want to be the highest

218
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: paid non quarterback in the NFL.

219
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't blame Ceede Lamb for that, but

220
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: I would say that Ceedee Lamb, justin Jefferson set that

221
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: number at thirty five, and I felt like it was

222
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: almost time for Ceedee Lamb and Jamar Chase to go, okay, well,

223
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: just we'll equal that and we're done right like everybody

224
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: right there at that happy number of thirty five. But

225
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: of course they want to beat the other guy and

226
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: see if they can get above that, and so I

227
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: get I get that part of it. They do have

228
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: some work to do on that one, for sure. They've

229
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: got work to do on Parsons. Parsons seems like it's

230
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: not as pressing as Ceedee Lamb, and certainly holding out

231
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: creates that you you know, you've got the mandatory fines

232
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: that can be forgiven now if you're on your rookie deal,

233
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: which Ceedee Lamb is so some players will have to do.

234
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: You do you believe him that it'll be It won't

235
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: be the last year that one, to me should be

236
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: host pressing.

237
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't, Well, it's it's it's not pressing in

238
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: the sense that you could play out this deal and

239
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: then try to do something in the spring, and does

240
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott want to be the quarterback of the Cowboys?

241
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 4: That that might be the.

242
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 3: Question that we're asking in the spring, right And maybe

243
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: now we're asking because if he did, you know, maybe

244
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: he wants to get something done. But in the back

245
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: of his mind he has to have a plan. And

246
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: maybe the plan is I just want to play out

247
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: the season to maximize my leverage in these contract negotiations.

248
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: You know, the old bet on yourself. He's not betting

249
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: on anything. He's got all that money one hundred and

250
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: sixty million plus what he made before that in his pocket.

251
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: Is that a bet?

252
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the safest bet that you could possibly make.

253
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: So I just think with Dak, it's gonna have to

254
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: be a am I comfortable here? Do I want to

255
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: continue being here?

256
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: Type of thing?

257
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: It's not a money thing, I don't think because in

258
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: the end, yeah, And do the Cowboys want to want

259
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: to continue that? Are they just giving us lip service

260
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 3: when they say, you know that they want to get

261
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: this thing done and they feel like it's not.

262
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 4: Going to be his last year with the Cowboys. We'll

263
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 4: see and.

264
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: Lip service is a good way to put it.

265
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Definitely, you know, following some Cowboys reporters and fans like

266
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: when they see this press conference, they're not buying everything

267
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: that is coming out and wow that it's a It's

268
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: a great way to put it. Does Dak want to

269
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: be there? There could be some interesting spots next year,

270
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: We'll see Miami, maybe La even who knows.

271
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: Now you're dabbling into stuff we can't predict right now, Yes,

272
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: but he.

273
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: Knows things pop up every year, so there will be

274
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: good opportunities for him to make a ridiculous amount of

275
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: money if he wanted to leave Dallas. And I will

276
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: get you out of here, Mike by bringing up something

277
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: I brought up to your friend Ian Uh. You know

278
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: when he was on the show How Yeah, Joe Shane

279
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: watching you guys on NFL Network just had a glorious,

280
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: beaming smile on his face, like, man, he really likes

281
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: Mike Garafalla. If you're watching on YouTube, you can see

282
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: the laughter, the joy on Joe Shane's face. And I

283
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: mentioned it on a on a tweet last week and

284
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: you had what I guess was a regrettable response. I

285
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: will quote it here and it was you responding to uh,

286
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: to me and you said, what can I say? Busting

287
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: on rap sheet is something we can all get behind.

288
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: Apparently phrasing, phrasing, phrasing.

289
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 3: Uh and uh, you know when you don't think like

290
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: a kids and you're out out outside of that demo.

291
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: You never stopped thinking like a kid, then well yeah.

292
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: But sometimes it's you're not talking like a kid, right,

293
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: And apparently that phrasing can mean something else.

294
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: Uh So why a patient that you mike not just

295
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: for coming on today, but you got two hundred and

296
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: thirteen retweets that I was viewed hundreds of thousands of

297
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: time you helped promote NFL daily. That was your way

298
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: of doing thirty five bookmarks. Really cracked me up. That

299
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: there were thirty five people that said I want to

300
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: save this for later.

301
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not a bookmark guy, but that's interesting,

302
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: Like what would they want to now?

303
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: The make it a quote?

304
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: Right? Which make it quote?

305
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: So a bunch of people said make it a quote,

306
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: And for maybe even two days, I kept getting the

307
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: I finally had to mute that account because it was like,

308
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 3: it's said to get back to me, like, look at this,

309
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: you moron? I mean, how many people want to put

310
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: this on.

311
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: A on a board, but I got one from Ian.

312
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: That I saved that I probably won't even mention here,

313
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 3: but I'll send it to you. He had a typo

314
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: in the spring, okay, and so I probably should I save.

315
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: I told her I was going to make it my

316
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: Twitter header.

317
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: Just say it and we'll beep it out. If it's

318
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: really that bad, come on, I mean, he was trying.

319
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: To say, he I'll put it to you this way.

320
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: He was trying to say that everyone loves the quarterback

321
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 3: that was drafted by the Falcons eighth overall, and I

322
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 3: got you the phone decided to take it in another direction,

323
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: which which.

324
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is interesting on its own right. Correct for Ian,

325
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: I love it. I appreciate you, and look, we'll never

326
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: be busted on you. Mike, thank you for your time.

327
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: Thank you all right, thanks to Mike Garafalo. I wanted

328
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: to get to fourteen more takeaways as quick as we

329
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: can before I get to Brian Baldinger putting Randy Chavez,

330
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: our great producer, up on the screen now to keep

331
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: me company. And yeah, Dak Prescott wanted to get his

332
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: response to what Jerry Jones said early in the show

333
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: about whether Dak's going to be on the team next year.

334
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: At the end of the day. So business and.

335
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 6: You know when.

336
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say.

337
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 5: I want to be here, But you know, and you

338
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: look up all the great quarterbacks I watch played for

339
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: other teams. So my point in saying that is that

340
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 5: that's not something to fear. That may be a reality

341
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 5: for me one day, may not be my decisions.

342
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: That pause before he then said I'm gonna say it,

343
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: that said a lot. That said a lot to me.

344
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: I think Mike Gerrifol is on the right track. Does

345
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: Dak want to be there next year? That is a

346
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: fascinating story. A couple other contract things. Jamar Chase has

347
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: quietly not been practicing. It's basically a holding, even though

348
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals are protecting him and saying it's not necessarily

349
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: a holding. He has a plan. It's not a huge deal.

350
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: He's not practicing. Tuatonga Vailoa also not practicing. Didn't do

351
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: anything on Thursday. Practice just doesn't look the same when

352
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson is splitting the reps with Mike White.

353
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: So something to watch there.

354
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow has been on fire at Bengals camp.

355
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: That's my third note here, And It's.

356
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: One of those stories that you hear enough, people'll say

357
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: how his arm looks better and how he really looks

358
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: different that I am starting to believe it.

359
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: Let's listen to Joe Burrow.

360
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was happy with today. Uh, you know, still

361
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 7: feeling it out. You know, still have some throws where

362
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 7: it's it's like, well, what did that look like? It

363
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 7: usually goes where I wanted to, but sometimes it doesn't

364
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 7: spin the way I want it to. So we're still

365
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 7: working through that. But I feel really good about where

366
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 7: I'm at. I feel like I kind of figured something

367
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 7: out towards the end of the practice. They're an individual,

368
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 7: so looking forward to exploring that a little more.

369
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: I love that, looking forward to exploring it more.

370
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: Randy, this is a guy who's accomplished a lot, but

371
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: he's talking about early training camp practice where he thinks

372
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: he found something late in practice and he's gonna work

373
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: on his craft more. That's like, it's like you with

374
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: your editing skills, you with trying to house train your cats.

375
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: You never give up, Never give up. That's the key.

376
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: Consistency is always the most important thing.

377
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: And I'm serious that the hype that's going around with

378
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: Burrow that his army was never really healthy last year,

379
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: that he's had a strong start. This is maybe the

380
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: training camp we've always been looking for for him to

381
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: have a fully healthy August and in July, and I'm

382
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: getting excited about it. All right, let's play the music now, Randy,

383
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: and I'm going to try to roll through the final

384
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: ten points. Number four. The Bills are going with five

385
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: receivers with Josh Allen for the most part. Kean Coleman's

386
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: at the X, Khalil Shakira is inside, Curtis Samuel is

387
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: doing a lot, and then you have MVS and Mac Collins.

388
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: I think they're going to play two tight ends a lot,

389
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: but those are their guys, and look, Shakira might be

390
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: their number one in the end if it's not one

391
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: of the tight ends. I also want to shout out

392
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: to Mac Collins. Josh Allen said, I love Mac. He's

393
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: one of the all time greats. This dude just must

394
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: be one of the best dudes in the world. Every

395
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: team Mac Collins is on. He's like a great clubhouse guy, Randy.

396
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: He's like you.

397
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: Everyone just like talks about him, just like I love

398
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: Mac Collins. He's doing something right, I like to wear shoes.

399
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: Though I heard he's a big, like no shoe guy.

400
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 2: He is.

401
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: He is kind of an odd bird that way. Another

402
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: Bills note that this is my next one. Damar Hamlin

403
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: started training camp with the starters. I know people were

404
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: mad he didn't get that comeback Player of the Year

405
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: award last year. If he actually is starting this year

406
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: and makes a big impact, we'll see that they're testing

407
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: that out. Cole Bishop, the rookie Mike Edwards will also

408
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: get looks.

409
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: But Tomar Hamlin practicing.

410
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: Matt Milano also practicing fully coming off the torn ACL

411
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: for the Bills, that's big news. Von Miller says he

412
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: should have never played last year, but he supposedly looks

413
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: better at Cape. We'll see, but it's early promising signs

414
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: he's getting some first team reps that he's a little

415
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: more recovered from that torn ACL. Speaking of which, some

416
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: downer news My next note. Two big injuries torn acls

417
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: season enders Makai Blackman, the good second year cornerback for

418
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: the Vikings, and then Darrin Kendrick, a third year cornerback

419
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: for the Rams. You hate to see that the Vikings

420
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: were already very thin at the position. I think Blackman

421
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: was going to start. They are a team to me

422
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: that could really pick someone up a Stefan Gilmour because

423
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: they need help.

424
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 2: I don't think the Rams are going to do that.

425
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say Kendrick, who arted a lot in the

426
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: last two years, was in their top three. It's probably

427
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: Darius Williams, Tredevious White, Kobe Durant ahead of Kendrick anyways,

428
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: but you still feel for a young player like that.

429
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: The Seahawks gave a surprising deal to Julian Love their safety.

430
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're just really into the top

431
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: one hundred listers something three years, thirty six million dollars.

432
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: Was this necessary? He was under contract? To me, it's

433
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: a sign. John Schneider, their GM who brought Love in.

434
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: He's got the juice right now. He's got as much

435
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: juice and he's using it to sign his guys.

436
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

437
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: Here's some guys, Randy who's looking good at practices early

438
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: and then I'm buying it that they're thinner. They're just fresher.

439
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey, cornerback of the Ravens, Rashad Bateman, the hype

440
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: is real. He's making plays play after day after day,

441
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, everyone says, just looks a little sharper, a

442
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 1: little thinner, and then Javonte Williams. I always say, it's

443
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: the second year for running backs after torn acl and

444
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: he's looking better for the Bronco Sean Payton giving him

445
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: some love. Some depth chart notes in Philadelphia I found interesting.

446
00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: This is my tenth note.

447
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: Quinnon Mitchell, the first round pick, fourth right now at

448
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: best at outside cornerback on the depth chart, behind Keeley Ringo,

449
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: behind Zaia Rodgers and.

450
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: Eagles fans will be like, this is what they do.

451
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 2: They bring rookies along slowly. I get it.

452
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: But those two players, Ringo and Rogers supposedly had great

453
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: offseasons before this, and now they're using Mitchell at the

454
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: nickel position playing inside, which I think he could do

455
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: to way to get him on the field. Cooper de

456
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: Jean's also hurt right now, so something to watch there. Also,

457
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: James Bradberry is a backup safety there.

458
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: That's wild to me.

459
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: My next note is on the same team at linebacker,

460
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: Zach Bond actually ahead of Nakobe Dean at linebackers. So

461
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: Saints fans out there, you know what I'm gonna say,

462
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: the bonfire, it's raging again.

463
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: It could still happen. A couple final notes.

464
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers Rookie running back Isaac Grendo hamstring injury

465
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: first day at camp. One of those fantasy sleepers we

466
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: watched with some freaky athleticism.

467
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: That's never a good sign.

468
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: It's also tough to know my next one what to

469
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: make of injury reports this time a year. But when

470
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: you look at the Browns players who are sidelined, it's

471
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: all their best players, a lot of them.

472
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb, Jedrick Wills, Jack Conklin.

473
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: So there's your two safeties, and then Chubb, and then

474
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Dalvin Tomlinson is getting knee surgery, and Greg Newsom, their

475
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: starting cornerback, is now getting hamstring surgery and may not

476
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: be ready for Week one. If they're getting surgeries now,

477
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: they were hoping to avoid it, and so that's bad news. Finally,

478
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: last one and we get out of here. Chris Ballard,

479
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: the GM of the Colts, was asked, you know, to

480
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: pump up some players, and he really didn't want to,

481
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: and then finally he said, Jonathan Taylor will have a

482
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: big year. That's where I'll stop his words. That's where

483
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: I'll stop too, at least before the break. If Ballard's

484
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: saying that Taylor might be one of those post type

485
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: all stars we talked about with Patrick Dharty. Let's take

486
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll be back on the other side.

487
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: Wrap up the week with Brian bald Tree. I am

488
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: so excited to be wrapping up week three here on

489
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: NFL Daily, Uh with one of the most respected, let's

490
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: let's face it, best looking, best lives in the entire game,

491
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger. Coming straight off a plane from Italy. Your Instagram,

492
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: Baldi was all pro elite. I apologize for the comdown

493
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: that is that is coming into a computer with me

494
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: just days after you get off that plane.

495
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it is, uh, it is, you know. I mean,

496
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: you're living the very best life for anybody that goes

497
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 4: to Italy. You know, I would tell most people Greg like,

498
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 4: Rome is not the place to go in July. It

499
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 4: just isn't. But you have to pay your respects. You

500
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: can't go to Italy and not pay your respects at

501
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 4: the Alta or Saint Peter's or you know, pick a

502
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 4: pick a location, the coliseum. So you know, we did

503
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 4: that ended up in Sardinia, and that's just a hard

504
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 4: place to leave. It's just it's just it's just the

505
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 4: quality of life is just that good.

506
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: And now we're going to be just talking offensive lines.

507
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, check out Baldy on Instagram because I mean,

508
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: I know you were in Rome a little bit, but

509
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: you're also in the water.

510
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: Wherever Baldy goes, the water is not far away.

511
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: I actually want to bring up something that was on

512
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: your Instagram earlier in this offseason, and I'm gonna do it.

513
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: I'm surprising you here, Baldy by setting up a brand

514
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: new segment here on NFL Daily. Will we ever get

515
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: you back again to do it, I don't know, but

516
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it one time. And the segment is

517
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: called Crystal Baldy and it's based on an astoundingly good

518
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: prediction you made before the draft. So we're gonna have

519
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: our listeners listen to something you said before the draft.

520
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 8: This is Baldi's analysis from the pool. Just got done

521
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 8: my morning, this one. I know they signed Kirk Cousins

522
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 8: to a big team. Kirk Cousins can be fine, but

523
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 8: I feel Atlanta is in the market for quarterback every

524
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 8: mock draft. I he's looked at Atlanta's going deepense. I

525
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 8: feel like the Atlanta Falcons on the marketpl quarterback. This

526
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 8: is the year to two. They got Kirk Cousins there.

527
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 8: Nobody they draft has to play right away. They've got

528
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 8: a caretaker. Maybe more than a caretaker. But I feel

529
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 8: like the Atlanta Falcons are in are shopping.

530
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: You're going to be shopping for a quarterback.

531
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 8: And that's what this morning's analysis is all about.

532
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: Let's shake it up.

533
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 8: I feel like the Falcons' goy eight thick.

534
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: In the twenty twenty four NFL Draft, the.

535
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcon select Michael wow Junior.

536
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 5: Well Wow, why do that is the first surprise?

537
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 8: Hey, now the NFL draft, to say the least.

538
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: There it was Baldy. They they say, I heard all.

539
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: The draft analysts after that, they say, no one saw

540
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: this coming. No one said, you know who saw it coming,

541
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: Crystal Baldy from the pool. You're doing better work at

542
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: the pool than people are doing in the lab.

543
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 4: You know, it's interest seeing Gray. I met Michael Pennick

544
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 4: Junior and his agent at the Super Bowl this year,

545
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 4: and I'd watched the championship game and I'd watched the

546
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 4: game against Texas, and I'd watched him, I didn't really

547
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 4: study him yet, and then the more I studied him,

548
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 4: the more I liked him. And then I worked for

549
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: the Falcons. I did their preseason games for when Mike

550
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 4: Smith first got there, and you know, Matt Ryan was drafted,

551
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 4: and I just remember, and I've known Arthur Blank for

552
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 4: a long time and the only time this is not

553
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 4: any offense to anybody else, but the only times the

554
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: Falcons have ever been relevant in recent history is when

555
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 4: Michael Vick was there and Matt Ryan was there. Now,

556
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 4: maybe Kirk Cousins changed that, but I just felt like, Okay,

557
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 4: I know they gave Kirk a bunch of mine, but

558
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 4: I knew once they saw and met Michael Pennick Junior,

559
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 4: that they were going to fall in love with the kid,

560
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 4: like the person, the man, the competitor, and they just

561
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: have to get past the medical whatnot. But I don't know.

562
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 4: It just hit me that day that this is not

563
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 4: going to surprise me. It might surprise everybody else, but

564
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 4: it wasn't going to surprise me.

565
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I wish I had seen that at the time,

566
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: because it did. I absolutely did not hear anyone else

567
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: say that before we get to what's going to be

568
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: your crystal baldyprediction here, and you're you're one for one,

569
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: you hit a thousand, you're sho heeo Tani hitting at

570
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy feet right now, You've got a

571
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: lot to live up to. I am curious because Kirk Cousins,

572
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, they started training camp in Atlanta today while

573
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: we're on the topic, and they said he'll be a

574
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: little limited maybe in some aspects in training camp coming

575
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: off of torn achilles, but he's he's cleared to be

576
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: on the field.

577
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: You watch Pennix a lot.

578
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: I guess I'm curious how you think that is going

579
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: to go this year between Cousins and Penix, not that

580
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: it's an open competition, just how you think it could

581
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: shake out.

582
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 4: Well, you know, regardless of what gets reported greg Like,

583
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: you know, there's a report, and then there's the players

584
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: that see a player play every day, Like I'd be

585
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: surprised if the defensive backs in Atlanta, you know, and

586
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 4: they've got a lot of really you know, good players

587
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 4: back to a Jan Cherrell, like they they're gonna see

588
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 4: Michael Penix's aren't the receivers are going to see what

589
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 4: he's like. Whether he's taken first team reps or not,

590
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 4: they're all going to see. I think what I've seen,

591
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 4: and I think what the upper crust of the brass

592
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 4: of the Atlanta Falcons hal. They're gonna see a really

593
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 4: talented arm't and well, Kirk Cousins is an elite decision maker.

594
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 4: He's been improven, you know, guy that can play at

595
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 4: a high level. I think that they're gonna see the

596
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 4: talent that Michael Pennix is. And the thing that I

597
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 4: remember I talked I do n't on a podcast Greg,

598
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: so you know, he'd had like and I was, you know,

599
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: we were getting ready for the combine and some private

600
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 4: workouts and whatnot. I said, so are you going to

601
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: run like in the low four sixes? Are you gonna

602
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 4: run in the high four fives? And he just scoffed

603
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 4: at and he goes, I'm in the four fours and

604
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: like we didn't see him run a lot, you know,

605
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 4: And but he's got, you know, like Anthon Richardson type speed,

606
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 4: like he might be the second or third. I mean,

607
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 4: I don't know Lamar is or what Kyler is, but

608
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 4: he's going to be not very far from those guys.

609
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: What he has to take off and salvage a play,

610
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 4: and that's something you know that Kirk's never going to

611
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 4: have to do, and he, you know, fortunately, he built

612
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 4: his career around just being able to make the right

613
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 4: reads and getting the ball out quick.

614
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: That is fascinating because I haven't really thought about how

615
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: that's different and luck he doesn't have the wiggle of

616
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: some of those top guys. Maybe he's closer to like

617
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: a Daniel Jones, where if he has a seam, he

618
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: can go hit it right. But I think that's fascinating

619
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: because I always say Kirk Cousins is not quite the

620
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: guy people think he is, in the sense that he's

621
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: not always the number twelve quarterback in the league or

622
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: wherever you want to slot him. He is extremely streaky.

623
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: He has five to six games in every season where

624
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: he looks like an MVP candidate.

625
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: But he also has bad streaks too.

626
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: He can be up and down, so he wants to

627
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: avoid some of those bad streaks to start the year

628
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: coming off of torn achilles. All right, enough on the Falcons,

629
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: I do want to get to what's your Crystal Baldy prediction?

630
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: For NFL Daily that we're going to play back to

631
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: you next time you come on. If you ever do

632
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: gracis with your presence again.

633
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: Vol well, Greg, I will definitely come back. If invited,

634
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: I will come back. I know this is not gonna

635
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: make any sense to anybody, but I just feel like

636
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 4: it's the history of the Jets. Say there's no way,

637
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 4: just the history of the Jets they're gonna screw it up.

638
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: That's their history. Hassan Reddick, I mean he's not can't like,

639
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 4: how do you not get that deal done the day

640
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 4: of the draft. Anyways, I feel like this is a

641
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 4: talented team, a really talented defense, really deep. The offensive

642
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 4: line is all predicated upon how healthy they stay, and

643
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 4: that's that's not gonna be an easy thing to predict.

644
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 4: With their history of you know, Tyrone Smith and even

645
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 4: Morgan Moses last year and Aaron Rodgers with his four

646
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 4: snaps last year. I feel like the Jets are going

647
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 4: to deliver. That's why they're on the front That's why

648
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 4: they're gonna be That's why they are front loaded on

649
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 4: primetime games just to see and then maybe they can

650
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 4: backload it if they do get streaking and get hot.

651
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 4: And play to their talent level. I mean, they won

652
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 4: seven games last year somehow with the quarterback play that

653
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 4: was just dreadful, just dreadful, and you know, and then

654
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: the defense collapsed at the end because they just you

655
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 4: can't win games if you'll score points. They couldn't score

656
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 4: any points. I think with Bree and Garrett and Michael

657
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 4: Williams and what they have offensively, they should be good

658
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 4: and they should be very good defense. This has never

659
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 4: played with the lead great ever, so in recent history.

660
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 4: You give this defense, give Sauce and DJ and give

661
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 4: give this pass rush a lead in the fourth quarter.

662
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 4: Those Jets fans aren't gonna know what to do at

663
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 4: MetLife stage.

664
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: So you're you're liking the over, which is nine and

665
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: a half wins.

666
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: I know we're not doing over unders here, but.

667
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 4: I like them over now. Obviously, if something happens to Aaron,

668
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 4: probably gonna fall apart. I mean nothing against Tarrod Taylor,

669
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 4: but it's probably not going to go if he misses

670
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 4: any amount of time, or if their left tackle falls down.

671
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 4: But they drafted a left tackle to be his replacement.

672
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like they've got better depth up

673
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 4: front on the offense. Line from any point that since

674
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 4: Joe Douglas has been there and Robert Salis beener, I

675
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 4: think they got better depth if something does happen in

676
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 4: one of their marquee starters, so I feel like they're

677
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 4: in better shape to protect Aaron.

678
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: Then they have bullish on the Jets.

679
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: I got to say, you know that the videos are

680
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: now out from Aaron Rodgers' first practice. Literally the first

681
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: throw of training camp was forty yards down the field.

682
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: I forget who was to might have been the album

683
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: we probably and it.

684
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: Was a time and I'm thinking, Okay, I guess I

685
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: spent all off season doubting the Achilles because I don't know, man,

686
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: a forty year old coming off an achilles and we'll see.

687
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: But that that got me back on board of like, okay, this,

688
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think I think they're going to

689
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I think the Bills are still a

690
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: lot to deal with, but I think those two teams

691
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: are going to be really good.

692
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure that that Aaron Rodgers throw that made

693
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 4: it social media. I haven't seen it yet. I mean,

694
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 4: they love those slow motion NFL films. Throws exactly and

695
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 4: it looks like you know, the spiral is super tight

696
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 4: and it takes eight seconds of you know, your breath

697
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 4: away and lands perfectly in the fingertips of one who

698
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 4: was I'm sure that's the shot. But we saw that

699
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 4: all off season last year, you know, and you know

700
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: we all just got crushed, you know, four plays into

701
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 4: that game against Buffalo.

702
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna have to get get rid of the ball.

703
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: He's not he's not thirty years old like he used

704
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: to be in Green Bay where he would hold and

705
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: kind of figure it out. He's gonna have to get

706
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: rid of the ball. But man, they have so much talent.

707
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I want to you mentioned the

708
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: Jets offensive line. With the time we have left with you, Baldy,

709
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: I want to do a little offensive line talk. Obviously

710
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: the most important thing that determines winning and losing. That

711
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: the average Joe's I did throw myself in there understand

712
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: the least. And it's also very hard to predict. It's

713
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: like a It's like a bullpen, you know something. You

714
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: could have a great bullpen one year, you didn't know

715
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: it was coming, and suddenly you're going to the World Series.

716
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: If you could have a great offensive line one year

717
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: that you didn't see coming. Suddenly it's going to the

718
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'm gonna throw out a few different groups

719
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: and you could just tell me who you want to

720
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: talk about. I'm going to start with the AFC contenders

721
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: because to me, I still put the Ravens, Bills, Bengals,

722
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs because of their quarterbacks, because of what they've done

723
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: the last four years in a tier above the rest,

724
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: and a lot of changes in Baltimore with their offensive line.

725
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: Bills I think have a nice continuity underrated. The Bengals

726
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: added a lot of size this year with Trent Brown

727
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: a Mariusmims, and then the Chiefs very good except left

728
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: tackles up for grabs.

729
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: Just out of.

730
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: Those four teams, which one is the most interesting to

731
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: you in terms of their offensive line that they could

732
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: make either make or break their season.

733
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, the Ravens lost three starters, okay,

734
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 4: and so you know, you lose you know, you lose

735
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 4: your Zeitler, you lose Moses, you lose your left guard.

736
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 4: You know, to the Jets, that's a lot. But I've

737
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: been saying this, and I said, sort of say it

738
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 4: tongue in cheek, But you know, the Ravens restock offensive

739
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 4: lineman the way Walmart restocked shells. I mean that that's

740
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 4: what they do. I mean, Andrew Voorhees was drafted at a US.

741
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 4: He would have probably been a second third round pick

742
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 4: last year, but he tours a c L and so

743
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 4: he basically red shirted last year. He's gonna go play

744
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 4: left guard for John Simpson. They drafted Rosen Garten to

745
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 4: play right tackle. Maybe he wins the job, maybe doesn't.

746
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: Rosen representation hasn't been a lot of Rosen. I mean,

747
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen has gone. But Mike Rosenthal, former Vikings tackle representing.

748
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: I mean, you know I represent.

749
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I got you. You know, the tribe's out there,

750
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 4: you Rogers. Uh so, you know Ben Cleveland was drafted

751
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 4: four years ago. You know, big countries there they draft,

752
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 4: you know, basically an all pro center. You know when

753
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 4: they did draft uh, you know Linderbaum. We'll see if

754
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 4: Stanley stays healthy. But you know, they always have a

755
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 4: guy like Patrick McCary that can plug in and play anywhere.

756
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 4: I feel like the Ravens are good, you know, and

757
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: then obviously I think Derek Henry is going to make

758
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 4: a difference and they're well coached. Dallas Chandro of the

759
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 4: offense line coach is very good. I feel like they're

760
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 4: gonna get back and run the ball like the way

761
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 4: they've always run the ball with Lamar.

762
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: Okay, they they always look better too at the end

763
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: of the year and then the beginning and with new pieces,

764
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: and yeah, that's a sign of great coaching. I saw

765
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: I saw they had three hundred and eighty pound Daniel

766
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: Fallele playing at guards. I just for my own interests,

767
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: I hope that happens sometimes during the season.

768
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: That would be fun.

769
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw out now another list of teams

770
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: who I think are candidates to be like Sneaky Good,

771
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,959
Speaker 1: maybe go up to the to the top of the league.

772
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: Of the offensive line. Maybe people aren't thinking about him

773
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: as much. Tell me which one you like the best.

774
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Jets, so let's not hit that again.

775
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: But they have some potential. The Packers, the Colts who

776
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: have been good, the Chargers after drafting Joe All and

777
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: then the Falcons who have had nice continuity. Maybe one

778
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: of those teams you think could just really be elite

779
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: and set up an elite offense.

780
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 2: Packers, Colts, Chargers, foul.

781
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Chargers. I mean, I think Joe Ol

782
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 4: is gonna you know, he's going to be there. I

783
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 4: saw Rashaan Slater at Ol Masterminds like he's just he

784
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 4: just has elite ability since the day he stepped on

785
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 4: the field. I mean, if you give the Chargers bookend tackles,

786
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 4: They've drafted a bunch of guys over the last three years, Ion,

787
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 4: you know, Johnson, different guys like I just feel like

788
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 4: the Chargers because of their commitment to the run game.

789
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 4: I think the commitment to the pistol formation, like they're

790
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 4: going to develop an offense line. I don't think Hardball

791
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 4: knows any other way to coach but to start right

792
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 4: where you're talking about right now and build this thing

793
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: because it hasn't been very good. They couldn't run the

794
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 4: ball at all the last three years, and so I

795
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 4: feel like the commitment was there. They could have gone

796
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 4: a lot of different ways with that early first round

797
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 4: pick they had, and they went Joe Oh, which made

798
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: a ton of sense. I feel like he's a new

799
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 4: dad really well. I know the player. Hardball tried to

800
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 4: recruit him to go to Michigan. He lost to Notre

801
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 4: Dame in that battle. He wasn't going to lose again.

802
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 4: I feel like this could be a much improved in

803
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 4: a very good offensive line.

804
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: Offensive linemen are just built different. I'll get you out

805
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: on this, Baldy. I'll give you one last group of

806
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 1: teams that the offensive line here that concerns you the most,

807
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: that could get in the way of this team, you know,

808
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: improving being where they want to be. I'll throughout the Seahawks,

809
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: the Saints, the Commanders, and the Jags. Just is there

810
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: one team there that worries you a little bit going

811
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: into the season. Seahawks, Saints, Commanders, Jags.

812
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 4: Well, the Saints have not been able to put We

813
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 4: don't know what's going on with Ryan Ramcheck. I don't

814
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 4: know if you have any updates. I mean, and he's not.

815
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: Playing this year.

816
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: And Dennis Allen hasn't ruled out that he could return

817
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: in another year, but he's not playing this year.

818
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 4: So I mean, they're really Look, it did not work,

819
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 4: you know, at all when they drafted a left tackle

820
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 4: and Trevor Penning. Now I'm much Trevor Penning is an

821
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 4: elite athlete. He's not played well.

822
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: Right tackle is the new thing. They're trying.

823
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 4: He came Noel Masterminds. He was there, met Trevor, had

824
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 4: not met him before. They got a new offense, line, coach,

825
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 4: new way of doing things down there. John Benton's down there,

826
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 4: you know, run the offense kind of a kind of

827
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 4: like a Shanahan style offense now being run in New Orleans,

828
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: which might be helpful to him. But I think Fuaga

829
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 4: is going to be a really good player. We'll see

830
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 4: sometimes there's growing pains there, but you know, they're they're

831
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 4: they're a group that have not been able to put

832
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 4: together offense has struggled. The running game has struggled. Derek

833
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 4: Carr's not has taken a lot of hits, he played

834
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 4: hurt a lot last year. They have not been able

835
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 4: to put together a great line the way Sean Payton

836
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 4: did for a lot of years there in New Orleans.

837
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 4: And so it's a concern because they're counting on these

838
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 4: two young guys to man the corners and the edges

839
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 4: in Penny and Fuaga, and one guy has struggled and

840
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 4: you'll be better in a new system, and the other

841
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 4: guy is going to be a rookie. And sometimes it

842
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 4: takes a little bit of time to figure out this league.

843
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they coaching matters a lot.

844
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: We talked about Clint Kubiak coming in and that's their

845
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: best hope because you said it for all the ways

846
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: they missed Sean Payton, and there are many with the

847
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and play callings like the offensive line play just

848
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: went right down.

849
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: And that's that's what it's all about.

850
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 6: It.

851
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 2: It's guys in the trenches.

852
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: I mean, someone should hire you one of these days,

853
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: but then you'd have to give up on this lifestyle.

854
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 2: I think you have a better off this way.

855
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 4: Baldy, lifestyle is going to win out every time, Greg,

856
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 4: So it's won out for the last thirty years. It's

857
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 4: going to continue to win out. I got to balance

858
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 4: it up a little bit.

859
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: I love it lifestyle winning out here. You make our

860
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: lifestyle better here. And we're wrapping up the week with you, Baldy.

861
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: So Hendy, let's hit the music. Appreciate everyone for listening

862
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, I may be, I may be messed

863
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: up my lifestyle. Committing to this daily show daily is different,

864
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: but it's a lot of fun and I'm really having

865
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: fun with this show in training camp. So we're going

866
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: to be back next week. We're going to visit a

867
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: couple of training camps. Until then, we'll see you on Monday.
