1 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons that mini camp and participating. 2 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: What a novel concept for a guy looking for a contract. 3 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 2: We will have the latest from down in Dallas with R. 4 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 2: Jane Slater on Parsons and what his presence means for Dallas. Meanwhile, 5 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: TNT that is Travis and Trevor. Trevor too, Travis Travis. 6 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: There you see it right there, the latest on the 7 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: Jaguars and Travis Hunters. Why is that deal not done? 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: We'll ask our Ian Rappaport that one. And we've got 9 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: some playoff droughts that need ending Jets fans, Will this 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: be the year? 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 3: No? 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: But stay tuned anyway, because we're going to talk about 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: a couple other teams, maybe the Falcons and some other 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 2: teams that haven't been to the playoffs in a while. 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: Can they end the drought? Maybe the Chicago Bears. 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: Welcome inside with the insiders. Sorry, Ian, was I not 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: supposed to give away the answers yet? Ian Rappaport with 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: me tonight we were in the ending Brian Baldinger on 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: the way, what how about you? Just I know you're 20 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: supposed to tease it, but I couldn't tease that one. 21 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: Everybody knows that's the case. He and Rappaport with me, 22 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: Brian Baldinger, Steve Weiss, Jaine Slader, Bucky Brooks. 23 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: I think I got them all. 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: They're all with us this hour, So lock it in 25 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: because we've got plenty of news happening around the NFL, 26 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: including Jermaine Pratt, who is dumped by the Bengals probably 27 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: weeks or months too late. Everybody saw this come and 28 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 2: finds a deal quickly with the Raiders. One year, four 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: point twenty five million dollars deal, another five hundred thousand 30 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: in playtime incentives there according to Ian. And then there's 31 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: Jihad Campbell, this one getting done the thirty first overall pick. 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: People still can't figure out why he was there available 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: for the Eagles at thirty one. Whatever locks in that deal, 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: a fully guaranteed deal as all first rounders are. I 35 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: mentioned Travis Hunter here he is on one side of 36 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: the balls. He plays both sides for the Jaguars. Here 37 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: he is at Mini Caamp talking about the start so 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: far to his NFL. 39 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: To playing your personality showing through. 40 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 4: It's been very easy for me. 41 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 5: You know. 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 4: The guys come in and I bring the juice every day. 43 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 4: Always got a smile on my face, make everyone laugh 44 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 4: when I get the chance. So we've just been fun, 45 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 4: having fun and just being kids out here, just loving 46 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 4: and living our dream. 47 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 6: To see all of these fans here like you guys 48 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 6: are just doing typical drills and they're chairing for you 49 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 6: every time. 50 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 3: Such, Polly, what's that experience? 51 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 4: Like, that's very very great, great experience. I know I 52 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 4: can't let them down. I got to go out down 53 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 4: work and I know they got my back. 54 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: Jackguars, have the fans there to see mini camp and 55 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: seeing the guy that's going to be playing on both 56 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: sides of the ball. Can't wait to see that come 57 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: the regular season. For now getting in the work in 58 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: the spring. What about training camp though, because you got 59 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: to have your deal signed ian by training camp. Travis 60 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: Hunter one of four just mentioned you hot Campbell. Now 61 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: down to four first rounders that hasn't signed, and everybody 62 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: around them is done. What's taking so long there? 63 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, taking a look at the landscape of things, it 64 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 7: feels to me feels like Travis Hunter will probably be 65 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 7: the last first rounder to sign. You know, these things 66 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 7: are general one, not complicated. We know he's going to 67 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 7: make forty six point six and change million dollars, and 68 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 7: he's going to get a thirty million dollars signing bonus. 69 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 7: These numbers are all negotiated. They are basically done. The 70 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 7: numbers you cannot mess with, which is why it's actually 71 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 7: hard to negotiate a rookie contract, believe it or not, 72 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 7: because there's not that much to give and take. 73 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 8: There's when the bonus is paid. 74 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 7: For instance, is it all in one lump sum, is 75 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 7: it all up front, which generally happens with quarterbacks, or 76 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 7: is it paid let's say a little bit now, a 77 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 7: little bit in September, a little bit in March. There's 78 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 7: not that many things to negotiate over. But to me, 79 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 7: it seems like this is going to be the hardest 80 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 7: to get done as Travis Hunter tries to do everything 81 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 7: he possibly can to maximize his deal, not just right now, 82 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 7: but in the third year and the fourth year. I 83 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 7: don't expect to hold out. We rarely, rarely, rarely see 84 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 7: a holdout. But I do think this will take some time. 85 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 7: But if you're talking about Jaguars fans, talking about Jaguars people, 86 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 7: I don't think they have anything to worry about because 87 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 7: he's almost certainly going to be participating in training, you 88 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 7: think they will figure out a way to get. 89 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 8: It done by then. 90 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 7: And then, just considering how many times we here on 91 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 7: the Insiders have talked about the Jaguars since Travis Hunter, 92 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 7: since they traded up for Travis Hunter, and since they 93 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 7: drafted him, it's like times ten from usual. This is 94 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 7: a team that one did not perform well last year 95 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 7: now as a new coach, now is a new GM 96 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 7: and has more hype than I can ever remember. 97 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: For the Jaguars, Yeah, more hype because of Travis Hunter 98 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: joining an offense and a defense, but joining an offense 99 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 2: that alreadys got some playmakers, including Brian Thomas Junior. 100 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: Who was injured and left practice. 101 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 2: Liam Cohen saying not a big deal would have returned 102 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: if it was the regular season game. I think that's 103 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 2: always the comparison. So not a big deal there, which 104 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: is a sigh of relief for the Jaguars. You hate 105 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: to see that guy leaving practice. More in the Jaguars 106 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: later in the program. For now, back to these Steelers, 107 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: because DK Metcalf, who was on the receiving end of 108 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: a couple of throws from Aaron Rodgers early in practice, 109 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: I say early because he didn't do anything in team 110 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: drills and won't during mini camp. He had a chance 111 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: to talk talk to the media today about the guy 112 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: that he was throwing with on the side and will 113 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: now be throwing with at the facility and at Akroscher 114 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: Stadium wherever the Steelers play this upcoming season. 115 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 9: I like the way he views the game, you know, 116 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 9: from a receiver standpoint, but also from a quarterback standpoint. 117 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 9: I think I can gain a lot of knowledge just 118 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 9: from being around him because he's seen a lot of football. 119 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 9: So just trying to soak up, soak up as much 120 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 9: information and the ball as I can. 121 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers lauding DK Metcalf's character when he spoke about 122 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 2: him yesterday, has had a chance to get to know him. 123 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: With shaking hands literally with players his. 124 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: Teammates now on the field yesterday, offensive lineman coming up 125 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: to him and be like, Hi, I'm Zach Frasier, I'm 126 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 2: this guy, I'm that guy. 127 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: It was quite the scene to see. 128 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: Ian. 129 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: You were not in the program yesterday, so I want 130 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 2: to get you to get a chance to get a 131 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: bite at Rodgers. 132 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: Finally in the building, finally on the practice field with 133 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers. 134 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 7: Yeah, And first of all, Aaron Rodgers introducing himself to 135 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 7: everyone is kind of funny because usually this is what 136 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 7: happens when you just started this and we actually don't 137 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 7: ever get to see it because usually a guy signs 138 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 7: like in March or earlier and does all of this 139 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 7: behind closed doors at Conditioning and OTA's and all of 140 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 7: these things. So yeah, I think Aaron Rodgers got a 141 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 7: little bit of a late start. But as it pertains 142 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 7: the DK Metcalf, I'm not worried at all because these 143 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 7: guys have been working but we all have been wondering 144 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 7: whether or not Aaron Rodgers was going to become the 145 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 7: Steelers quarterback, was he going to retire or all these 146 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 7: other things. DK Metcalf was working out with him and 147 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 7: probably knew. So I think that rapport is a good one. 148 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 7: And you know, for DK Metcalf, I think it's fair 149 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 7: to say he wasn't thrilled with the situation in Seattle, 150 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 7: one reason why he was more than open to a trade. 151 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 7: This is a good sign that he's going to get 152 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 7: a quarterback who is now fully invested in him, and 153 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 7: the Steelers aren't done. I expect them to add at 154 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 7: least one more target, probably just one, but I'd say 155 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 7: another target somewhere along the line. Gave Davis, for instance, 156 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 7: visited there's other players or no Rogers. Well, they could 157 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 7: potentially trade for They're not done, but this acclamation from 158 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 7: Rogers to the Steelers offense is for sure something I'm 159 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 7: not worried about. Arthur Smith and Rogers together, two of 160 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 7: the brightest football minds. You can imagine he's ready to 161 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 7: start to work with DK Metcalf. He's still got the summer. 162 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 7: Maybe he'll work with some guys and may build that 163 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 7: rapport there. Training camp is so so long, They're going 164 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 7: to catch him in no time and the Steelers will 165 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 7: be fine. 166 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers getting the chance to get acclimated with players 167 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: and the building there because they're going to go to 168 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: training camp and Latrobe when they come back to Pittsburgh. 169 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: Wants to be able to hit the ground running. 170 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: Was figuring out where all the rooms were in the 171 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: building yesterday. So Rogers and Arthur Smith going to have 172 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: a chance to catch up during the break and get 173 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: more acclimated to that offense. The Cowboys mandatory minichamp. Lots 174 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: of storylines down there in Dallas, but you know, Micah Parsons, 175 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: that's a big one. He's a big personality and the 176 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: eventually he's going to get a big contract we think 177 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: from the Cowboys. Just not there yet, but he is 178 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: there at mandatory minicamp. Here's some of what he had 179 00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: to say. 180 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 10: I'm pretty hopeful. I'm still, you know, hanging tight. You like, 181 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 10: I understand it's up to him and he gives the 182 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 10: green line on everything. So hopefully something's done, you know 183 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 10: by next month. 184 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 11: How you avoid getting anxious as this thing starts to 185 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 11: drag on a little bit. 186 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 10: I just keep putting working, you know, at the end 187 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 10: of the day, man, Like you know, I still love football. 188 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 10: I think it's still about football. I understand the business 189 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 10: side always kind of creeps in every couple of years 190 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 10: in the football world, but I just keep it about football. 191 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: Jane Slater with US now, Jane. Michah Parsons did not 192 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: participate yesterday. I believe I saw that he did participate 193 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 2: today in mini camp. 194 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: It's a it's a sign of faith. I mean, we're 195 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: talking about the Steelers. TJ. 196 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: Wattson not there, some other guys haven't been there, but 197 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: Micah Parsons is there. 198 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: What is his presence mean to the Cowboys. 199 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 12: Well, I think it also says a lot about his 200 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 12: relationship with Brian Schottenheimer, right, I mean shoty As and 201 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 12: Micah has talked about this, really leaned in come to 202 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 12: his football camps. He's doing those dinners. It's the little things. Again, 203 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 12: I keep talking. The fans will roll their eyes in 204 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 12: and I get it, but it's those little things that 205 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 12: help you build the culture. And you know, listening to 206 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 12: Micah Parsons right, there are obviously a little anxiety around 207 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 12: the fact this thing isn't done yet. He's showing up 208 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 12: and doing what he needs to do. Micah, don't get anxious. 209 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 12: Look at what happened with Ceedee Lamb, look at what 210 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 12: happened with Dak Prescott, DeMarcus Lawrence in the past. These 211 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 12: things can get contentious and this one really hasn't. 212 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 13: But they always get it done. I will say. 213 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 12: The only knock that I have on Micah Parsons and 214 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 12: maybe something that they're pushing across the table in some 215 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 12: of their agent negotiations is where Micah Parsons sometimes fall 216 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 12: off towards the end. 217 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 13: Of the seasons. 218 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 12: If you look at the nine December and January games, 219 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 12: how many sacks has He had only one and a 220 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 12: half sacks and that was against teams that were twelve 221 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 12: and five teams with winning records. Now it's crazy when 222 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 12: you look at his other games and the forty four 223 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 12: other ones he had forty sacks. 224 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 13: So his big issue, I think around that. 225 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 12: Building, if you talk to folks, is just not needing 226 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 12: to be consistent and it's play just a consistent overall defender. 227 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 12: And what's going to help him is they finally started 228 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 12: dedicating a lot of resources the defensive line of the ball. 229 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 13: Talking to a coach today, he. 230 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 12: Just told me Micah Parsons is better when he has 231 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 12: guys around him. 232 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 13: And they certainly did that by. 233 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 12: Going out and getting Dante Fowler back after that double 234 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 12: digit sack season from the Commanders. They've got Marshall nieland 235 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 12: Sam Williams coming back, Peyton Turner, Solomon Thomas. 236 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 13: He doesn't have to do it all. 237 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: How about the. 238 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: Matt Eberflus factor here for Micah Parsons and what he 239 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: means for his defense. 240 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 13: Look, Matty Flue is a tough coach. You know this. 241 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 12: In Dallas sometimes I saw that it didn't always land 242 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 12: with some. 243 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 13: Of the players, but I mean they had Mike Zimmer 244 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 13: last year. 245 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 12: Mike Mike Zimmer is not exactly Unicorns and sunshine. But 246 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 12: I will say this about Matt Eberflus, he likes speed 247 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 12: on his defense, he likes length. We're already seeing him 248 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 12: play around with using guys outside of their position. 249 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 13: I mean we saw this a little bit with Izzy 250 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 13: last year. 251 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 12: Looks like they're using Israel mcuamo a little bit more 252 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 12: from that safety, that corner position. Some good news I 253 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 12: think that's also going to help Mattie reflues today. Is 254 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 12: Trayvon Diggs thinks that he's going to be ready by 255 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 12: week one. I know that when I updated folks on 256 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 12: Trayvon Diggs and his developments a couple of weeks ago, 257 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 12: he was beginning to store getting acclimated as some of the. 258 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 13: Drills required for his position. 259 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 12: Remember this is like the second injuries had to that 260 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 12: ACL in the. 261 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 13: Last couple of years. 262 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 12: But I think corner is still in an area that 263 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 12: Matt eber Flewis is probably tinkering with to see if 264 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 12: they've got the right pieces there. 265 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 13: But defensive line. 266 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 12: I mean I just went through a number of the 267 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 12: guys that they've got there. It really allows you to 268 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 12: use Micah Parsons more as a chess. 269 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 13: Piece when you've got that defensive. 270 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 12: Line short up in some of the sources they put 271 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 12: not only in the interior, but the exterior of that 272 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 12: defensive line. 273 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: Micah Parson's versatility, that's part of the value. That's part 274 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: of what you the pitch that you make to the 275 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 2: Cowboys to pay him. Again, we're keeping a close eye 276 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: on that. See what you can happen before the start 277 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: of training camp. James later are star covering things down 278 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: there at the star Ian take the wheel. 279 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 7: Let's stay in this division and watch the connection from 280 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 7: Jayden Daniels and Deebo. Samuel Deebo, of course acquired this offseason. 281 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 7: I broke that story at the combine. Thank you very much, 282 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 7: two players. I know the commanders are expecting big things 283 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 7: for him. To see them connecting so early has to 284 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 7: be a good sign for Washington, which has such high 285 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 7: expectations this year. Let's listen to dan Quinn talk all 286 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 7: about it. Oh no, sorry, we will. I guess we're 287 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 7: not gonna listen to dan Quinn. All good guys, Let's 288 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 7: welcome in Steve Weisch and Bucky Brooks to talk about it. 289 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 7: Bucky will start with you. Jade Daniels obviously performed so 290 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 7: well last year, how can you avoid a sophomore slump? 291 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 14: You know, Ian, when it comes down to young quarterbacks, 292 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 14: it's all about the three p's. It's about the play caller, 293 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 14: the playmakers, and the protectors. And when you look at 294 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 14: the Washington Commanders, obviously lead their past protection needed some work, 295 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 14: so they go and get Laramy Tomso to protect the 296 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 14: blind side, to make sure that jayde Daniels is erected 297 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 14: and protected in the pocket. 298 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 15: Then you have Cliff. 299 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 14: Kingsbury given more weapons on the outside, so you have 300 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 14: Deebo Samuel to go with Scary Terry McLaurin so that 301 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 14: they can be able to really run some of those 302 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 14: catch and run plays that you like. 303 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 15: Meaning, let's get it to Deebo Samuel. 304 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 3: On the run. 305 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 14: Let's allow him to use that yack yards up to 306 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 14: cats to produce some of these explosive plays. 307 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 15: Last year, Jay Daniels had. 308 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 14: Over thirty five hundred yards, twenty five touchdowns, only nine interceptions. 309 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 14: Look for that number to jump as he's able to 310 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 14: really get more bang for his bulk using high completion 311 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 14: percentage passes to deliver big plays. 312 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, Deebo Samuel still plenty of juice, dropped a little 313 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 7: weight going going into the Commanders obviously is a ton 314 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 7: im provemn last year his contract. Will see what he 315 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 7: gives Washington this year. We'll also see Steve with Trey Amos, 316 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 7: the second round pick from Ole miskiins Washington ready starting 317 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 7: to generate a little bunz. 318 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 16: Yeah, And last week he started taking reps with the 319 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 16: first team defense. Not full time, they were just occasional reps, 320 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 16: but they are getting him ready. 321 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 17: I spoke to somebody said they wanted a. 322 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 16: Longer corner and he's six one one nine five on 323 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 16: the outside, so they can use Marshall and Latimore on 324 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 16: the other side and move Mikey sen was still into 325 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 16: the slot and therefore really impact their coverage because they 326 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 16: don't have anybody up front on their defensive line who's 327 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 16: an individual. 328 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 17: Winner when it comes to the pass rush. 329 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 16: And because of that, they want the coverage to uphold 330 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 16: some things and they scheme up some of the past pressures. 331 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 16: Now about that defensive front, they built it with some 332 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 16: big guys. They've got guys like Dietrich Wise, Gewort's Armstrongs, 333 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 16: yvon Kinlaw and Deron Payne, who's had a great offseason 334 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 16: according to this person, And they want guys. 335 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 17: They want to be better on first and second down. 336 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 16: They got tagged in early downs last year, so they 337 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 16: were on third and short a lot of times. 338 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 17: They don't want to do that. 339 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 16: They want to make it known pass downs that being 340 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 16: second long, so that secondary, maybe that includes Trey Amos 341 00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 16: can make plays. 342 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 8: That's a great call. 343 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 7: And look if Amos, Trey Amis was the guy, as 344 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 7: you guys know, was considered by many to be a 345 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 7: first round talent. If he comes in and flashes a 346 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 7: little bit of that, that Washington secondary is going to 347 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 7: be much much better for a team, again the highest 348 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 7: of expectations in that division and throughout the NFL. 349 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 2: Thanke story with the Jaguars this season, Trevor Lawrence, getting 350 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: him right, protecting him, doing everything they can to unlock 351 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. They spent a lot of money on him, 352 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: he had the shoulder rehab and now they want to 353 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: see an ascension under new head coach Liam Cohen in 354 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, which leads me to Bucky Brooks and 355 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: Brian Baldinger joining us here, Baldy all over the place 356 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: at Jaguars Mini camp today. Give us your impressions of 357 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: what you're seeing from the new look Jaguars under Lam Cohen. 358 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 18: Well, let's just start of the new coach, you know, 359 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 18: Mike and Bucky, I mean Liam Kahn. I don't care 360 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 18: who talks to him or when you talk to him. 361 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 18: He's impressive. He's got a command. The year that he 362 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 18: had in Tampa was one of the great years of 363 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 18: any quarterback when you look at what Baker Mayfield did 364 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 18: a year ago and the way that they ran the ball, 365 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 18: and a lot of that is Liam Cohen's design and 366 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 18: how he gets the ball to his playmakers. And so 367 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 18: I think Trevor Lawrence is going to benefit a great 368 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 18: deal by the head coach, Liam Cohen, the play caller, 369 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 18: Liam Cohen, and really the leader of this team right 370 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 18: now is is Liam. So I think he's impressive and 371 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 18: that's a good start. But you know, they want to 372 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 18: be able to run the ball a whole lot better, 373 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 18: Bucky obviously than what they have been able to do 374 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 18: the last couple of years. They want to do everything 375 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 18: they can to help Trevor Lawrence and so you know, 376 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 18: the offensive line is rebuilt, there's some competition there that 377 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 18: they're looking forward to seeing how they do. 378 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 3: And then the other. 379 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 18: Part that was talked about all day Bucky was and 380 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 18: you know this Dad, eight takeaways last year eight and 381 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 18: if they want to helped out Trevor Lawrence, they want 382 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 18: to triple that number. They want twenty five thirty takeaways 383 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 18: extra at batch to Trevor Lawrence, shorter fields, you know, 384 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 18: those kind of things they're they're working on, you know, 385 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 18: the peanut punch drill in practice, getting the ball out. 386 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: They're preaching take away to every drill every day. 387 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 18: And so I think those are some of the things 388 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 18: that you can take away from this off season bucket 389 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 18: that I think is going to be good for this 390 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 18: h this you know this this team from Duval right now. 391 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,959 Speaker 14: And look, when you talk about the defense playing will, well, 392 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 14: the best way to get the defense playing will is 393 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 14: to have the offense get out of the fast starts. 394 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 14: And the way the offense can get out of the 395 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 14: fast start is really capitalizing on the playmakers that are 396 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 14: on the perimeter. When you want to improve the quarterback play, 397 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 14: what you do is surround them with what I call 398 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 14: ball catchers, and the guys that they have on the 399 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 14: perimeter right now are ball catchers in terms of great 400 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 14: hand aue coordination, great ball skills. BTJ, Brian Thomas Junior 401 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 14: and Travis Hunter are guys that are elite when it 402 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 14: comes to their ball skills. They expand the strike zone, 403 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 14: but more importantly, they delivered the explosive plays. The Yanmi 404 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 14: Brown coming over from the Washington Commanders to give them 405 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 14: a vertical element. So now as you're beginning to figure 406 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 14: out are we going to double team BTJ or Travis Hunter, 407 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 14: there's someone else that can punish you and don't sleep 408 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 14: on the tide end. Britten Strange came on like game 409 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 14: busses when he had opportunity to play for Evan Ingram 410 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 14: last year. When you think about the quartet that's on 411 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 14: the perimeter catching passes, it's an upgrade. 412 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 15: They're explosive, their dynamic. It's going to make the game. 413 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 14: A lot easier for Trevor Lawrence as he's beginning to 414 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 14: find his way and hopefully become the big money quarterback 415 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 14: that everyone wants to see, a top five quarterback that 416 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 14: is earning that money going into twenty twenty six, Well, I. 417 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 3: Saved really, you know, the best for last year bucket. 418 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 18: How honestly, you go out to any practice, you can't 419 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 18: take your eyes off Trevor Travis Hunter, like you're. 420 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 3: Just as an absolute magget. 421 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 18: Whatever he's doing, wherever he's lying up, he's goes in motion. 422 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 3: Your eyes are following your motion. 423 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 18: You know, he's just you know, he's the fatigable, Like 424 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 18: the guy just doesn't get tired. It's a it's a 425 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 18: separate skill that he has. And so he can literally 426 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 18: if you want him to clear out for Brian Thomas 427 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 18: to come underneath, or for Donnie Brown to run a 428 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 18: dig route, he'll go clear you out. It'll be right 429 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 18: back in Audel for the next play. So like it is, 430 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 18: it can be really exciting for Trevor if they can 431 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 18: get that wall up front, you know, really to protect 432 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 18: to stay healthy. 433 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 3: The competition Walker little over. 434 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 18: At left tackle, right now Anton at the right tackle. 435 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 18: They like to Madoga that came in from Dallas. So 436 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 18: they didn't spend crazy in free agency, but they feel 437 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 18: like they got their type of players that love the practice, 438 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 18: love the game, can count on. 439 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 3: Him and be out there every day, you know, working. 440 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 3: And so that's where it starts. 441 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 18: I don't think we're anywhere close to where this organization 442 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 18: with Boselli and Gladstone all the way down wanting, but 443 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 18: I think they're alfo a good start at a good 444 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 18: off season right now. 445 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Indefatigable Travis Hunter in that heat, But Baldy heard you 446 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: say it was a muggy hot one down there in Jacksonville. 447 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: He's out there running clear out routes, practicing both ways. 448 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 15: Pretty impressive. 449 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: Can't we wait to see it on display when we 450 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 2: get to the regular season.

And by this point, you know, there's Max 489 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 18: Harrison right there, the number one pick. 490 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: They need to help at corner. 491 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 18: They drafted three corners and they drafted three defensive linemen, 492 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 18: and so how quickly can they get assimilated into you know, 493 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 18: Bobby Badge's Bobby Babbage defensive scheme and what Sean McDermott 494 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 18: wants to do. How quickly can those guys step up? 495 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 18: You know, whether it's t J. Sanders or Landon Jackson. 496 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 18: It was a deep draft with defensive lineman and they 497 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 18: got three of them. And so this was one of 498 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 18: their nemesis. It's been Lamar, it's been Patch Mahomes. That's 499 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 18: been the impediment to this team advancing in a play 500 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 18: in the postseason. 501 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 3: So if you're going to advance, you know, you've got 502 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 3: to keep the score down. 503 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 18: Your defense has to affect some of these start quarterbacks 504 00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 18: in this league. 505 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: And so that's what they've been and. 506 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 18: I'm sure that you know the teaching, the scheme and 507 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 18: how they do things in Buffalo has been a big 508 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 18: part of this all season for shaw mcdermom. 509 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: Brandon being the general manager, addresses defense and then the 510 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 2: local radio crew that he was on with I was 511 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 2: talking about the lack of addressing the wide receiver positions. 512 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: Like what do you guys want? Man, I can't do 513 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: everything here. I was a host team being on that one. 514 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 2: You know they needed to address, but they needed to 515 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 2: address on defense and they did that ball they don't 516 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: go anywhere more from you. 517 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: Coming up in. 518 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 7: The Packers addressed some things on defense by using a 519 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 7: receiver that we'll. 520 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 8: Get into it. We will get into it anyway. 521 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 7: The Green Bay Packers continued their mandatory mini camp today. 522 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 7: A lot of fun things to get to a lot 523 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 7: of storylines, including hearing some key members the Packers talk 524 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 7: about just the small tidbit that they're going to be 525 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 7: basing their good friend Aaron Rodgers in week eight with 526 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 7: his new team, the Steelers. 527 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be a great challenge for us. We all 528 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 5: know what type of player he is and how good 529 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 5: he is, and I'm sure he'll be telling everybody all 530 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 5: our signals. So we'll have to you know, maybe play 531 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 5: that mind game with him a little bit. 532 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 7: With that, we'd like to bring in Travis Hunter. Travis 533 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 7: or no, I read that wrong. The original Travis Hunter, 534 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 7: not current Travis Hunter. The original Travis Hunter. Bucky Brooks, 535 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 7: thanks for joining us again. The reason I say that, 536 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 7: and you know why I say that, but for the people. 537 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 7: The reason I say that is because Bo Melton, the 538 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 7: Packers receiver, was playing corner today Jyry Alexander's gone. 539 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 8: They released him. 540 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 7: Bou Melton was trying his hand in corners like Travis 541 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 7: Hunter is trying and handed all the things. Bucky, you 542 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 7: did this, You literally did this. Take me through the 543 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 7: bow Melton situation. 544 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 8: Is it weird? Is it cool? What are the Packers 545 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 8: going to get to this? Break it down for me? 546 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 14: Look, Ian, this is great because thirty years ago I 547 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 14: did this for the Green Bay Packers. 548 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 15: It's something that Ron Wolf Hall of fame. 549 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 14: Executive general manager for the Packers back in the day, 550 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 14: what he learned from Al Davis. They would take athletic 551 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 14: wide receivers who weren't making the great necessarily a wide receiver, 552 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 14: and give them a chance to play defensive back. 553 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 15: I was the second in Green. 554 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: Bay to do it. 555 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 14: They had Corey Harrison, another guy, Keith Crawford it. 556 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 15: They've done it with some other guys. It's part of 557 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 15: what they do in Green Bay. 558 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 14: When Bo Milton was interesting five eleven hundred and eighty 559 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 14: nine pounds at the combine, he. 560 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 15: Ran four to three four. 561 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 14: He is a guy who's been a special team standout 562 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 14: for them since been a seventh round pick for Syettling 563 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 14: making his way to Green Bay. When you think about 564 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 14: five to eleven, the height, the side, the athleticism, then 565 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 14: the special teams probably had one hundred and fifty four 566 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 14: snaps on special teams, so you know he has the 567 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 14: toughness and the tackling ability to get it done. 568 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 15: Then when you throw in the factor that his brother Max. 569 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 14: Milton is a cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals, he's the 570 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 14: perfect candidate to pull it off. The thing about this 571 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 14: is if he's able to continue to being special teams contributor, 572 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 14: what it does is it buys some time to be 573 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 14: a backup cornerback for the Green Bay Packers. This isn't 574 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 14: necessarily a move for him to get on the field, 575 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 14: as he saw package defender in twenty twenty five. But 576 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 14: if he's able to work the process. We're making special 577 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 14: teams contributions. Maybe at twenty twenty six he can be 578 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 14: a guy that can work for the rotation as a 579 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 14: dime defender for the Green Bay Packers. 580 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 3: I like to move. 581 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 15: It could enhance and extend his NFL playing career. 582 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, pussy can catch. 583 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 7: So many DB's can't catch now you now you other 584 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 7: dbs can't catch anyway. Let's transition now. I love this storyline. 585 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 7: I can't wait for camp. Let's transition now to the 586 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 7: Minnesota Vikings and their mandatory miningcamp, which of course continue 587 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 7: today with lots of hair, lots of great receivers, lots 588 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 7: of calls from Brian Flores, and a lot of really 589 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 7: good things from JJ McCarthy, their young quarterback bucket, who 590 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 7: of course everyone is expecting so so much from. We 591 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 7: saw him a little bit in training camp last year. 592 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 7: I think we knew wouldn't be the start of last 593 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 7: were sewing a little bit of trade camp last year, 594 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 7: went through the whole offseason with all the different rumors 595 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 7: of all the quarterbacks. 596 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 8: Now he's the starter. 597 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 7: What are your impressions of JJ McCarthy in Minnesota. 598 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 14: I really like JJ McCarthy, and I think he can 599 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 14: be an upgrade over Sam Donald. Give Kevin O'Connell a 600 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 14: little time to figure out what JJ McCarthy does well, 601 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 14: and we know that he will put together game plans 602 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 14: that allow him to play to his strengths. What JJ 603 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 14: McCarthy has in his favor is he has a talented 604 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 14: supporting cast of playmakers around him. Aaron Jones in the backfield, 605 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 14: Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ. Hockinson at wide receiver, tied end, respectively, 606 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 14: a solid offensive line. So he just literally needs to 607 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 14: be a pass firus point guard in this offense. Doesn't 608 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 14: need to do too much, doesn't have to get outside 609 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 14: of himself because the players are going to be there 610 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 14: to be made because the talent around him can do it. 611 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 14: Look for the Minnesota Vikings to try and run the ball, 612 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 14: be conservative early in the year, but expect JJ McCarthy 613 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 14: be a playmaker and in the year he'll get a 614 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 14: bad rap because of how he was asked to play 615 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 14: at Michigan, but he was playing in Michigan really is 616 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 14: a precursor to how I expect him play in Minnesota. 617 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 14: Look for him to be the game manager when they 618 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 14: need it, but to morph into the playmaker. When we 619 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 14: get to the end of the season, this Minnesota Vikings 620 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 14: team is good and their quarterback is going to represent 621 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 14: in the second season in the league. 622 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, and the one thing we don't know, couldn't possibly know, 623 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 7: is he sat out all year after going through training camp. 624 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 7: How much did he learn? How much far? How much 625 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 7: further ahead is he now from last kimp. I would 626 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 7: imagine a lot, but you don't get to see it 627 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 7: until you really get to see him play. One of 628 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 7: the very very cool storylines for the Minnesota Vikings this year. Bucky, 629 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 7: thank you so much. As always excellent, excellent perspective. 630 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold one of the moving chess pieces this offseason 631 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 2: when it comes to the quarterbacks out there in Seattle 632 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: now looking to show that last year with the bike, 633 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 2: he's not a fluke and he can carry that success 634 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: to Seattle. He has shown that in the off season 635 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 2: enough to get the defense of his head coach Mike 636 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 2: McDonald when he was asked recently about the possibility of 637 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: a quarterback competition. 638 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: Here's more from McDonald on donald. 639 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 15: What we love about. 640 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 20: Sam is he's just a He's a distinct dude. Man, 641 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 20: he's just a just a he's like one of the guys. 642 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 20: There's a there's a sense of he's one of the guys. 643 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 20: So he's you know, right there with him and all 644 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 20: the things, and but he's that's him. But there's some 645 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 20: there's some, there's some, there's some to them, like he's 646 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 20: like the mess with them, you know, he's he's got 647 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 20: that edge to him, the competitiveness, and the guys respect 648 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 20: that and uh. 649 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 17: Yeah, but he's him. 650 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 20: You know, he's not trying to be anybody else, and 651 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 20: you got to respect that about him. 652 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good bleep. There's some good bleep to him. 653 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 2: Sometimes there's bad bleep to a guy. Sometimes there's good 654 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 2: bleep to a guy. Good bleep the Sam Donald in 655 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 2: the eyes of Mike McDonald, Mike McDonald a defensive guy. 656 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: So once again, I want you to talking defense here, Baldy. 657 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: I want you what you're seeing from him in year two. 658 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 2: They're getting personnel that more fits his system. What are 659 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 2: we going to see from Mike McDonald here? This is 660 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 2: the upcoming season. 661 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 18: Well, we saw last year a defensive finished fifteenth in 662 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 18: the league last year and points giving up the road 663 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 18: They're going to be better than that this year. If 664 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 18: we started to see signs towards the end of the season. 665 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 18: It happened in Baltimore the year before when they were 666 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 18: the number one defense football. They play a matchup zone, Mike, 667 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 18: and it's a little bit difficult to explain on TV, 668 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 18: but they. 669 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 3: Really forced the quarterback to hold the ball. 670 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 18: So Leonard Williams last year, Big Cat had an amazing season. 671 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 18: Eleven stacks, as good as any defensive tackle in football. 672 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 18: He had the pick six right here against Aaron Rodgers 673 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 18: and they're a big win in at Medline Stadium last year. 674 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 18: I'm glad they got that highlight in there. Devin Witherspoon 675 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 18: is leading away, you know. And if you look at 676 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 18: like Derek Hale, Bollye Mafey, they've got some rusher now 677 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 18: on the back end. Can they kind of squat on 678 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 18: some of these routes right here? Look for Devin Witherspoon 679 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 18: in his third year to take a step up. Talking 680 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 18: to Mike McDonald and Leslie Frasier this past year at 681 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 18: the Combine, they think Devin Witherspoon, Witherspoon can be used 682 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 18: a lot the way that they used Kile Hamilton in 683 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 18: Baltimore as a real chess piece because of his aggressive aggressiveness, 684 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 18: his tacking ability, and his ability to cover. And so 685 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 18: I think this defense has a chance, a real chance 686 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 18: to get him to the top ten this year. And 687 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 18: I think that will just fake this team that won 688 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 18: ten games a year ago just that much more competitive. 689 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: They want to run the ball. 690 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 2: Mike McDonald told me that at the combine that would 691 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 2: get back to doing that. Play good defense now all 692 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: of a sudden, you don't have to ask a whole 693 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 2: lot out of Sam Darnold. That is the formula for 694 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 2: success in Seattle this upcoming season. Thank you, Brian Baldinger. 695 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 2: To the Los Angeles Rams, as we stay in the 696 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: NFC West, a bunch of i'd call them game faces, 697 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 2: but it's practice. It's mandatary mini the practice faces, but 698 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 2: they're serious about their mandatory mini camp out. 699 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: There with the Rams, including the new guy, DeVante. 700 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 6: Adams, really enjoying the time with the guys, getting to 701 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 6: know him, getting on the same page with Matthew and 702 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 6: you know, just kind of geling with the whole tel 703 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 6: right now. It feels like I've been on this team 704 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 6: for a couple of years. Now, just based off of 705 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 6: how opening receptive the guy think you open and receptives 706 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 6: the guys have been to me, I feel like this 707 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 6: is what I needed, just based off the vibe and 708 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 6: the aura of the of the of the building, and 709 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 6: everybody's in a, you know, a good mood. It's not 710 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 6: like a you know, a dark cloud over the building. 711 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 6: And I've I've experienced that quite a bit over the 712 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 6: last few years. So it's a glaring difference when you 713 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 6: come into a building like this. 714 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,479 Speaker 17: It's glaring. 715 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: Well, it's a little more pointed Aaron Rodgers yesterday was like, 716 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 2: I'm not going to take any shots at my former teams. 717 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: You're gonna talk about this building. Devonte Adams a little 718 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 2: bit more appointed in what he was saying there. So 719 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 2: the vibes are good with Davonte with the rams so 720 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 2: far by. 721 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 17: The vibes are good. He's still learning. 722 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 16: Matthew Stafford though, and Devonte Adams and explaining a route 723 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 16: that he ran Tuesday really really madey things kind of clear. 724 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 16: He said, you know, on this route, the defense had 725 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 16: it schemed up and they had ran the proper coverage 726 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 16: where he should have been denied as one of the 727 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 16: primary targets, but he said Matthew Stafford fired it to 728 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 16: him anyway. So what he is learning about Matthew Stafford 729 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 16: as they continue to grow is that the deep beense 730 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 16: may be in the proper coverage, but if they're not 731 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 16: playing that coverage properly, he's gonna get the ball. And 732 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 16: that's one thing you saw over and over Devonte Adams, 733 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 16: Pook Nakua and Rookie tight and Terrence Ferguson getting a 734 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 16: lot of balls thrown to them by Stafford when they 735 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 16: were running together during this Ota practice on Tuesday. 736 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 17: Let's flip it to the other side of the ball. 737 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 16: Though, head coach Sean McVay was asked if they would 738 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 16: have any interest and now free agent cornerback jay Or 739 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 16: Alexander who was cut by the Packers, if they pretty 740 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 16: much said not really, they don't think they're going to 741 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 16: go down that road right now. But in speaking of 742 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 16: another cornerback where there is interest in Jalen Ramsey, the 743 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 16: Dolphins cornerback who is on the trade block, there was 744 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 16: no denying the interest that's there, But according to someone 745 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 16: I spoke to said it's kind of a long shot 746 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 16: because so many things have to happen for this trade 747 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 16: like this to be pulled off, And it doesn't seem 748 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 16: like Tyreese Halliburton has the ball in his hands with 749 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 16: a second left on the clock to make the buck. 750 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 16: So that's probably where things stand right now. But to 751 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 16: go back to the beginning point, all things are sonny. 752 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 16: I know you're from Philly area, you might, but all 753 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 16: things are sunny in La too. 754 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 3: There you go. 755 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of times in fact, when it rains 756 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 2: like a half an inch, you guys freak out. 757 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: Yes, it's really cute to watch. To be honest with you, 758 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: I said the word cute. 759 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 7: Day two of Bucks Mini Camp is in the books, 760 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 7: and that guy wearing that really cool vest is Baker Mayfield. 761 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 7: The Bucks superstar has certainly coming to his own since 762 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 7: coming to Tampa Bay's probably been playing the best football 763 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 7: of his career, someone who has the team as excited 764 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 7: as it ever has been about the team about him, 765 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 7: And I have no doubt about this. 766 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 8: He is excited. 767 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 7: Even though they have the transition from William Cohen to 768 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 7: a new offensive coordinator. 769 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 21: Obviously, the transition from Liam to Grizz has been really 770 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 21: really smooth. 771 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 22: Guys, just taking ownership of it. 772 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 21: Obviously it helps when you have the same pieces back, 773 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 21: but then obviously the new additions, the new guys we have, 774 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 21: just making sure that when we're teaching it installing it, 775 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 21: it doesn't a little details don't slip under the rug. 776 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 22: You don't take anything for granted. But it's it's been 777 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 22: a really good offseason. 778 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,959 Speaker 21: Now's the time to you know, get some chemistry down, 779 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 21: really get an understanding of the offense. 780 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 22: And I think we're in a good place right now. 781 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 21: Obviously there's always room for improvement, but good to have 782 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 21: Mike back out there today and just to see how 783 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 21: it's all coming together. 784 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 7: Jaskar's are on any more interesting. Young offensive coordinators around 785 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 7: the Falcons have one of those. 786 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 8: Zach Robinson certainly fits that. 787 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 7: Bel did a really nice job for Atlanta last year, 788 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 7: in part because he's got this guy, Bijon Robinson, another 789 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 7: one who had ton of hide last year. Really lived 790 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 7: up to it, and I know they're expecting many more 791 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 7: things of him. Just listen listen to coach Raheem Morris 792 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 7: talk about Bijon Robinson. 793 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:46,959 Speaker 8: He's a fan. 794 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 11: Everything about Bijon is art form. You know, he is 795 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 11: the hardest person on a team. To talk about just 796 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 11: because he's he is an Atlanta Falcon. He is everything 797 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 11: about that and like you know, his ability to move, 798 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 11: his ability to take care of his body, his ability 799 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 11: to train, his ability to motivate, his unselfishness, humilially all 800 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 11: of those things, is his ability to get back in 801 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 11: our community. He's such a great player and such a 802 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,919 Speaker 11: great human. I love being around him. 803 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 16: Have you ever sat back and gone back and watched Jean. 804 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,959 Speaker 7: Is there a moment off the top of your head 805 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 7: that you remember saying wow? 806 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 11: Every day he made it cutting a jock through yesterday 807 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 11: and we almost lost that mind and it was like. 808 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 17: Like all right, let's go home. 809 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 7: You know what I always think about guys who welcome 810 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 7: back in Steve Wish and Bucket Brooks. I always think 811 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 7: about when they the Falcons had the camera operator on 812 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 7: the roof and they got just one of the Jean 813 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 7: Robinson's run. It looked like it was in like a 814 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 7: video game. I mean, it's he's ridiculous. Going to see 815 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 7: a lot more of that. I'm going to see a 816 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 7: lot more of that this year. Steve, I want to 817 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 7: go to you first on this though, talk not be 818 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 7: John Robinson one of the other key factors of this offense. 819 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 7: Michael Pennick Junior came on midway through last year, really 820 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 7: really flashed big arm, some accuracy. What are we expecting 821 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 7: from him now that he is the entrenched starting quarterback. 822 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 16: Yeah, but Jean can have a lot more room to 823 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 16: run the ball on the field and they can get 824 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 16: the passing game going. And of course Michael Penix is 825 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 16: now the starter. They started three games at the end 826 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 16: of last season, went one and two, completed less than 827 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 16: sixty percent of his passes. But in speaking with someone 828 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 16: with a team this week, they said, everything we've heard 829 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 16: positively about him this offseason, the way he's throwing the ball, 830 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 16: the way he's learning things, it's understated. 831 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,760 Speaker 17: He said, this guy has been. 832 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 16: Absolutely You heard the way Rahiem Morris was talking about 833 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 16: Jehan Robinson, That's the way they're feeling about Michael Penicks 834 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 16: as well, again, throwing the ball, leading the team in 835 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 16: the classroom. This person someone else I spoke who said, 836 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,479 Speaker 16: you know, a lot of the conversation has been about 837 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 16: his connection with wide receiver Drake London, but it's Darnell 838 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 16: Mooney who was on the verge of a breakout. Mooney 839 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 16: who had almost allsand yard receiving last year. He's someone 840 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 16: they're using in a lot more different ways. You mentioned 841 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 16: Zach Robinson the OC. He is a player that Pennix 842 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 16: has really struck up something with who could really have 843 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 16: a big season this year. 844 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 14: You know, Steve, what was interesting last year had an 845 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 14: opportunity in the preseason to see Michael Pennix not playing 846 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 14: a game, but they did a workout before the game 847 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 14: and in talking to some of their coaches. 848 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,919 Speaker 15: They just talked about the juice that his ball had 849 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,240 Speaker 15: in comparison to Kirk Cousins. It comes off like a rocket. 850 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 14: And all of that time that Michael penn has got 851 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 14: to work with Kirk Cousins was rehabbing the chemistry and 852 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 14: the connectivity debt he built with the wide receivers. 853 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 15: You're going to play that. 854 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 14: You talk about Mooney, you can talk about Drake London, 855 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 14: cal Pitts, all of those big time playmakers around Atlanta 856 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 14: have a synergy with a young quarterback. 857 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 15: Look for him to hit the ground running immediately this season. 858 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, the Atlanta Falcons have not been to the playoffs 859 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 7: in seven years? Can you guys believe that seven years? 860 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 7: This feels like one of those seasons. Feels like one 861 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 7: of those seasons where they're gonna get there and finally 862 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 7: finally get. 863 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 8: Over the hump. 864 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 7: Steve Bucky, thank you guys, rock great stuff. I transition 865 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 7: myself to this. Here's all the teams who haven't made 866 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 7: the playoffs in a very long time. So we got 867 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,720 Speaker 7: the Bears, we got the Jets, we got the Falcons. 868 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 7: There's a bunch of other teams that have significant playoff droughts. 869 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 7: Whose drought is going to end this year? Don't worry, 870 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 7: we'll tell you exactly. Coming up, shi up. 871 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: It is mini camp week around most of the NFL. 872 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 2: So here are your many siders, many siders or just 873 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 2: giant heads. I'm not gonna make the joke that Tom 874 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 2: Pellisero made Ian Rappaport. He's not here, so he doesn't 875 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: get to make it. Your thoughts on the many siders there? 876 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 7: I have two thoughts. One, I tower over Judy. I 877 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 7: appreciate someone being like, you know what, hean's not that tall. 878 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 7: He's getting annoyed if we make him the smalls, So 879 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 7: let's make him the second biggest. Shout out to the 880 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 7: version who made that graphic, thank you for touching my feelings. 881 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 7: The other thing is I wear a lot of cool shoes. 882 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 7: Those Jordan Lowe's are like midway through my collection. I 883 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 7: wish they'd maybe pick some better shoes. 884 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 8: But it's all good, guys, we're all scribed right. 885 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 17: We're all right, as were all scribed grammatical. 886 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 16: It says mensiders like I'm sorry to be, but I 887 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 16: do like to And Mike, you look, you're you leaning 888 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 16: into Ian like that. 889 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 17: It's like, really good. I could tell you guys are 890 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 17: really tight. 891 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean I look the most bobbleheadish of 892 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: anybody I think, so you do. 893 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 2: Get some insider bobbleheads. We'll see if we can make 894 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,760 Speaker 2: that happen. We'll see if we can get the Jets 895 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 2: of the playoffs. They have the longest drought in the 896 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 2: NFL since they made the playoffs the last time. I 897 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 2: think it's the longest drought in professional sports, to be 898 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 2: honest with you. Twenty ten, which was the first year 899 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 2: of MetLife Stadium, which reminds me there's still only been 900 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 2: one game in the history of MetLife Stadium hosted by 901 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 2: one of the teams, the Giants and the Jets. The 902 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 2: other excuse me, postseason game the other postseason game was 903 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Neither of the teams was even involved. Steve, 904 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 2: your thought, and who's going to end the drought here? 905 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 17: I'm gonna go to the Atlanta Falcons. 906 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 16: The tough first eight games with the back half of 907 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 16: their schedule. If they get rolling, they've got an opportunity 908 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 16: to win the South over Tampa Bay. 909 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 8: Falconts are a good pick. I would say, I believe 910 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,959 Speaker 8: they're going to make the playoffs too. He would be mine, though, 911 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 8: Carolina Panthers. 912 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 7: The way Bryce played last year, the way this offensive 913 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 7: line has has gelled and gotten into good place, the 914 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 7: way they beefed up the defense in the draft in 915 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 7: free agency, Panthers should be better. This division is not 916 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 7: the hardest in the world. I see them in the playoffs. 917 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 7: Clip this if I'm right. If I'm wrong, forget about it. 918 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 7: But if I'm right, clip it and let's say. 919 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,959 Speaker 1: That, Yeah, yeah, it is a division. Well there's wild cards. 920 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 2: It is a division where there's not a lot of 921 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 2: heavy hitters, but somebody's got to throw in the Tampa 922 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers, I still think right they're gonna wind up 923 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 2: winning that division. For me, it's the Bears, Chicago that's 924 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 2: not the long draft, it's only four years. But Ben Johnson 925 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 2: coming in, I could see this team being rejuvenized offensively 926 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 2: out on both sides of the ball. Schedule sets up 927 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 2: pretty nicely. I'm going to go with the Chicago Bears 928 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 2: ending a four year drought. No drought for the insiders. 929 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 2: We are back tomorrow. Don't forget to join us. Thank 930 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 2: you for joining us this evening, uh Ian wish me 931 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 2: signing up my care both
