1
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: The preseason is underway and training camps rolling on across

2
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. Josh Allen in the stadium tonight playing catch

3
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: with some Bills fans ahead of their practice event. The

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Sam Darnold are on the field, the Buccaneers

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: as well as the Giants. So much action, Let's cover

6
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: it over the next sixty minutes. Welcome inside with the insiders.

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: That is Judy Batista, that is Ian Rappaport, who is

8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: outside that Bill's practice. I'm Tom Pillicero here in Tampa.

9
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: We will get to all the teams that we just

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: showed you, and a whole lot more. We find ourselves

11
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: thirty four days out from the regular season kickoff game

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: between the Cowboys and Eagles, and now we have some

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: new questions about whether Micah Parsons is even going to

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: be there. Earlier today, Michaeh Parsons announcing in a statement

15
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: on social media that he has personally requested a trade

16
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: away from the Dallas Cowboys. This following months of on

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: and mostly off negotiations between Parsons and the team. He

18
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: showed up at the start of training camp. You can

19
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: see in that video he has been engaged, but as

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: he wrote on social media. Unfortunately, I no longer want

21
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: to be here. I no longer want to be held

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: to closed door negotiations without my agent president.

23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: I no longer want shots taken to.

24
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: Me for getting injured while laying on the line for

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: the organization, our fans, and my teammates. I no longer

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: want narratives created and spread to the media about me.

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally.

28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: There is a ton more to that statement, ton more

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: to unpack. For that, we will bring in our Jane

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: Slater to the conversation as well.

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Ian. Let's start with you.

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: It is August first, when Michah Parsons decides to press

33
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: the nuclear button with the Cowboys organization.

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: Why now.

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: Nuclear button is correct?

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: Once Micah Parsons says very publicly as he does, that

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: he does not want to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 3: Look, he could go back.

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 4: We have seen teams work out a deal in these circumstances,

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: but it is a challenge and no doubt it would

41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: take a lot. Micah Parsons tried. He tried. He told

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: the Cowboys several times that he wanted to be a

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: member of the organization long term. He's got a really

44
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: good podcast. He said it plenty of times on that too.

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 4: He wants to be a member of the Dallas Cowboys

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: his entire career, even against the advice of his agent,

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: David Mulligata. He wanted to do a deal earlier rather

48
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: than later to make sure it got done, to make

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: sure he stayed. The Cowboys have really not engaged absince

50
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: and I know Jane's going to get into this. The

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: conversation with Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones, where Micah thought

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 4: they're having a conversation, Jerry Jones thought they were negotiating,

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: and that partially led to the disconnect. It just seemed

54
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: like Micah had had enough, he had done everything he

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 4: possibly could. Hit the button now hit send demands a trade.

56
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: So what might a trade actually look like for the

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys. I've talked to Stephen Jones about this personally.

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: Trading Micah Parsons is something, at least in December when

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 4: I spoke to him and cited him in a story

60
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 4: at endavall dot com. It is something at least they

61
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: have considered because about top heavy their team is salary wise,

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: but to do it now. It would mean that they're

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: looking toward the future rather than now. It would mean

64
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: they value the two number one overall two number one picks,

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: which they.

66
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: Likely would get.

67
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: It would mean someone else would have to give Micah Parsons,

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: make Michael Parsons the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL,

69
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: and it would mean the Cowboys would have to replace him.

70
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 4: That's a lot. It's not impossible, but it is an

71
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 4: absolute lot. And by Micah Parsons hitting that button today,

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: it forced us Jane to consider all of those options.

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, I taught to you a number

74
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: of people closest to you, going all the way back

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 5: to the spring.

76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 6: And here's what I can tell you.

77
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: It's August first, and there has been absolutely no offer

78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 5: or contract negotiation in writing exchange between these two guys.

79
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 6: I know about you.

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 5: We've covered a number of contracts. This is sort of unprecedented.

81
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 5: But I'm getting multiple sides of this story, so typically

82
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 5: the truth is somewhere here in the middle.

83
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 6: Here is what I'm being told.

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: There were conversations that began in late March early April

85
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 5: that started with Jerry Jones prompting Micah Parsons to come

86
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 5: to his office and they wanted to discuss leadership.

87
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 6: At some point.

88
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 5: They got into what a contract would or could look like,

89
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: after Micah had explained some of the things that he wanted.

90
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 5: It's my understanding that Jerry said, yep, let's sign off

91
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 5: on it. One side says that whatever that offer was

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 5: and the number wasn't for to me, that it would

93
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: have made him the highest defensive player.

94
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 6: At that position.

95
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: That has been disputed by some sides because some sides

96
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 5: alleged because there was actually no contract offer and nothing

97
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 5: in writing, and since then there have been no ongoing

98
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 5: negotiations that how can we talk about what that number

99
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 5: would have been if we actually never saw it in writing.

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 5: Then I was also told that there was sort of

101
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 5: this implied threat that if something didn't get done, then

102
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 5: a trade could be on the table. And as you

103
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 5: can see today, Micah Parsons, clearly frustrated, put out a

104
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 5: statement that he essentially feels disrespected by this organization because

105
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 5: he and good Faith went into the owner's office, they talked,

106
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: but then it was not honored visa a exchange with.

107
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 6: His agent to put this in writing.

108
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 5: One person with knowledge argued back that they were told

109
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 5: by the agent that they wouldn't even be negotiating until

110
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: they were one of the last ones at the table,

111
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 5: after all the defensive ends had gotten their deals done.

112
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 5: So it is a whole bunch of information points of

113
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 5: views how we got here. But I will tell you, guys,

114
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 5: I've covered a lot of contentious contracts as it relates

115
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 5: to the Cowboys.

116
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 6: It can be frustrating at times, and a lot of

117
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 6: times I.

118
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 5: Say, oh, they're going to figure it out. Micah Parsons

119
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 5: is a little bit of a different dude here. I

120
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 5: don't know if I've ever seen a player come out

121
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 5: and as you said, he has sort of hit the

122
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 5: nuclear button typically we don't drop the bombs around here,

123
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 5: and ends up with diplomacy.

124
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 6: He fully knew what he was doing.

125
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 5: He is remaining at camp by the way, And I

126
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 5: don't know about you, guys. I've been in the crosshairs

127
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 5: of Jerry and Stephen Jones and they can make things

128
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 5: very uncomfortable.

129
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 6: So I got to think it's a little bit uncomfortable

130
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 6: for him.

131
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: But he did sit on that statement for a few days,

132
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 5: but felt like this was the time to do it.

133
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 6: He felt disrespected.

134
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 7: Well, that comes across in the message that he put out,

135
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 7: because it is very personal in tone. He enumerates all

136
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 7: the things that he believes Jerry Jones, did you know,

137
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 7: talking about his injuries, negotiating without his agent in the room,

138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 7: putting out narratives about Mica into the media. It was

139
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 7: very much felt like a personal shot at Jerry Jones.

140
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 7: Clearly Michaeh. Parsons is frustrated, and that's probably the least

141
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 7: of what he is. He sounds mad at this point. Look,

142
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 7: Jerry a few weeks ago said Michael Parsons is one

143
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 7: of the smartest players he's ever dealt with. He knows

144
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 7: his value, his value as a football player, and his

145
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 7: value in terms of finances. So Jerry clearly has respect

146
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 7: for him, not just as a football player, but as

147
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 7: a businessman. And that's saying a lot coming from Jerry Jones. Look,

148
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 7: families argue within each other. What I think is so

149
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 7: noteworthy about this is how very public it is. You

150
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 7: don't usually hear players come out this publicly, and this

151
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 7: pointedly against an owner, especially not an owner like Jerry Jones.

152
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 7: So I think this is unusual.

153
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: I will say this.

154
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 7: Players have said I don't want to be here. Anymore

155
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 7: and then things have gotten patched up. Miles Garrett just

156
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 7: did it and it worked out fine. He got an

157
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 7: enormous contract out of it, so it's not irreparable. It's

158
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 7: just tougher than it needed to be.

159
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: And I just keep.

160
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 7: Going back to if they had gotten the contract done

161
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 7: at any point, even not all the way back when

162
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 7: Micah first said he would want to do this contract,

163
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 7: you wouldn't be in this situation, and you wouldn't have

164
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 7: the top heavy situation that they keep having at the

165
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 7: Cowboys because they wait until the eleventh hour to get

166
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 7: all these big contracts done.

167
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 5: Judy, I could do an hour long podcast on this,

168
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: but I'll wrap this up by saying, there is an

169
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 5: implication based on someone that I taught to you that

170
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 5: may be Jerry is frustrated that he had negotiated some

171
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: sort of.

172
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 6: Deal by going straight to Micah to get this thing done.

173
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 5: But you and I both know Jerry Jones would never

174
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 5: do a deal, a handshake deal with the CEO of

175
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: PEPSI without getting his council involved. So that's why this

176
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 5: whole thing is very interesting to me.

177
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 1: Also, Bear's mentioned something and reiterating Jane a point that

178
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: you made the fact that Michael Parsons, despite the peace

179
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: out tone of that statement, is still in Cowboys camp.

180
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: As one person said to me today, why would he leave?

181
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: Not only now do the Cowboys have to look at Michaeh.

182
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: Parsons great every day, have him have the attention on him,

183
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: but also if he were to leave, the rules change

184
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and a drastic measure consent what's called a

185
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: five day letter forcing Parsons to come back to camp,

186
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: or else they can put him on the reserve left

187
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: squad list, sideline him for the entire season, not pay him,

188
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: and still own his rights. We're not there yet. There's

189
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: some time to go, but Jane, I am taking a while.

190
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Guess he will be on every episode of The Insiders

191
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: until this gets resolved.

192
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. It is not the only tense.

193
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: Situation in the league, not the only tense situation in

194
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: the NFC East Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin officially requested

195
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: a trade over the past forty eight hours, This coming

196
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: on the heels of his initial holdout, which turned into

197
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: a hold in of sorts. Though technically he's on the

198
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: physically unable to perform lists because of an ankle injury

199
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: suffered at the tail end of last season, did rehab

200
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: early in the off season. This is a situation ian

201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: where everybody can yell pay the man, and on some

202
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: level maybe the Commanders are willing to do that, but

203
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: it seems abutt only clear at this point they would

204
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: only be willing to do that on their terms, and

205
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like that's anywhere near the types of

206
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: terms Terry McLaurin would want in order to sign a

207
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: new contract extension.

208
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

209
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 4: I mean, the fact that Terry McLaurin does not have

210
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: a new conscience the contract is not for lack of

211
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: effort from the Commanders.

212
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: They have tried to negotiate with.

213
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 4: Terry mclaurin's agent, Buddy Baker, to get a new deal

214
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: down that with more properly cop say them and give

215
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 4: him a really really nice third act, third contract for

216
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: his career. They just disagree on value, and they disagree greatly.

217
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: It's very clear to me Terry mccaorran wants to be

218
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: paid thirty three million dollars per year, maybe even more

219
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: that DK metcalf got. They're in the same draft class,

220
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: they have similar stats, different kind of receivers, and McLaurin

221
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: is older, but.

222
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: That is what he wants.

223
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 4: It does not seem that Washington as of right now

224
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 4: wants to pay him like that. So McLaurin has demanded

225
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: a trade, and what we've heard from the Commanders has

226
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: been nothing. And that's interesting because you know that if

227
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: there are teams interested in trading for Terry mccallran, that

228
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: at the very least they are calling General Manager Adam Peters, who,

229
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: by the way, did take several contracts down to the

230
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 4: wire with the forty nine Ers.

231
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: This is not anything new for him.

232
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: But if there is interest, if teams are calling the

233
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 4: Washington Commanders, how do they handle that and what do

234
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 4: they say publicly and privately. Still plenty of more information

235
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: we need on mccloran.

236
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 7: You know, this is the first bit of rough water

237
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 7: that the new era of the Commanders have encountered. It's

238
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 7: all been positive, it's all been feel good vibes since

239
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 7: new ownership took over. They got the right coach, the

240
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 7: right GM, certainly the right quarterback. They make the run

241
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 7: to the NFC Championship game. They put all of these

242
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 7: pieces around Jaden Daniels. This offseason, and now this with

243
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 7: really arguably one of the most popular players on the

244
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 7: team and certainly the face of the franchise until Jaden

245
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 7: and Daniels got there, who was a positive face of

246
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 7: the franchise and a positive leader through some very very

247
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 7: difficult years at the Commanders. Let's also be clear, in

248
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 7: football terms, they are a diminished team if Terry McLaurin

249
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 7: is not on that team. He was a key part

250
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 7: of Jade Daniels' rookie season and he finished the season

251
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 7: with the career high numbers in TD reception, so they

252
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 7: would miss him as a wide receiver, they would miss

253
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 7: him as a leader. Again, this is not a rougher,

254
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 7: but because they are so far apart and they don't

255
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 7: agree on value, you do wonder if they can cobble

256
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 7: together some sort of compromise deal in time to get

257
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 7: Terry mcluurin. It's hard to imagine Terry mcluurin playing anywhere else.

258
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Honestly, Terry mcluurin said many times he only wants to

259
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: play for the Commanders. But like so many other players,

260
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: you do reach a point where, well, if you're not

261
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: going to pay me anything close to what I think

262
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm worth, then trade me to someplace that will down

263
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,119
Speaker 1: here in Tampa. I did not get to see quarterback

264
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. He hit his hand on a shoulder pad

265
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: on a follow through early in practice on Thursday. My

266
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: understanding it is he finished out the practice, then when

267
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: underwent a battery of tests, they ruled out any type

268
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: of a significant injury. Todd Bowles sat down with us

269
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: on inside training camp live said he'll probably be a

270
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: day Mayfield be back out there, just a contusion. They're

271
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: being cautious, but he will be out there very soon.

272
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: As for what else we saw, well, Kyle Trash was

273
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: getting the ball to the likes of a Mecca BUCA today,

274
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: a very deep Buccaneers wide receiver group, even at a

275
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: time where Chris Godwin has not yet gotten onto the field,

276
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: sounds like everything trending in the right direction. Godwin right

277
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: now is a headed tristan works in terms of his recovery.

278
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Both players expected back at some point, but Toad Bowles

279
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: didn't want to put any types of timelines on it.

280
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: Certainly a BUKA, if not an insurance policy, gives the

281
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Bucks the ability to be patient with Godwin and getting

282
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: back on the field, Judy.

283
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 7: Some news on the quarterback front in Cleveland. Kenny Pickett,

284
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 7: who had missed a few days of practice with a

285
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 7: hamstring injury, return today. He practiced on a limited basis.

286
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 7: He didn't work in the team periods, but he did

287
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 7: do individual work. So that's certainly a step in the

288
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 7: right direction for Pickett. Frankly, time is of the essence

289
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 7: for him. He is in a quarterback battle with Joe

290
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 7: Flacco for the starting job, and then of course there

291
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 7: are the rookies Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders also in

292
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 7: the quarterback competition. Right now, as we've been saying all along,

293
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 7: you got to give the edge to Flacco since he

294
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 7: has had success with the Browns and Kevin Stefanski. And

295
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 7: Kevin Stefanski has made it clear he'd like to make

296
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 7: a decision on this sooner rather than later, although Andrew

297
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 7: Berry has also said he would be open to keeping

298
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 7: all four quarterbacks on the roster. We will see, but

299
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 7: certainly it is important for Kenny pickettch you get back

300
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 7: on the field and practicing fully as soon as possible. Ian.

301
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, here in Buffalo, one of the guys we did

302
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 4: see on the field.

303
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: Was that guy right there, James Cook.

304
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: They're a star running back, one of the most productive

305
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: players on their offense, and really one of the more

306
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: a fan favorite, big time fan favorite in the stadium

307
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: right behind me where they are having a very spirited,

308
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: intense practice. We've spent a lot of time talking about

309
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 4: holdings and holdouts and contracts, nothing involving James Cook.

310
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: He is there, he is ready.

311
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: According to Shaun McDermott told me earlier today, he is

312
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: in great shape and he has been really impressed with

313
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: his football character and other character. We'll see if James

314
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 4: Cook gets paid eventually. The Bills curly have a number

315
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 4: clear right now, whether the two sides could make it happen,

316
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: but just him as a player, just him as a player.

317
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 4: It is evident this is someone the organization values greatly. Meanwhile,

318
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 4: coming up on the Insiders, that was a lot plenty

319
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: to chew on there. We got a little bit more

320
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: with our good friend Bridget Condon, who is hanging out

321
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: with Seattle and that guy right there, Sam Donald. We

322
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 4: don't need to talk about Sam Donald's contract situation anymore.

323
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: He is locked in in Seattle.

324
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: But what else can we get from our good friend,

325
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: Bridget stay tuned and find out, I don't know.

326
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: Some news tonight out of Los Angeles, potentially a reunion

327
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: with Keenan Allen, the six time Pro Bowl wide receiver

328
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: is in LA. I'm told right now, as he and

329
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: I have reported earlier today, to meet with the Chargers.

330
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: There is mutual interest in a potential reunion. Of course,

331
00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: Mike Williams retired recently unexpectedly. He was a former Charger

332
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: who became a new Charger. Could Keenan Allen do the same?

333
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: One of the top free agents still available. We'll be

334
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: tracking that one throughout the course of this show. Last night,

335
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: Ken Allen could kick back like all of us and

336
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: watch his new maybe and definitely old team in the

337
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game against the Lions.

338
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: Football is back.

339
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: Jared Allen, stirly sharp, Eric Allen, Antonio Gates, the class

340
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five on hand to watch this one.

341
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, he can't beat up Justin Herbert pregame, He'll

342
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: do what to.

343
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: Trey Lanson seemed to work.

344
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: This one part was easy handed off to Omari and

345
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: Hampton their first round draft pick pick up of eight

346
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: yards right there. One of the top rushers in college

347
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: football last season. That sets up this Trey Lance with

348
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: the nice touch to Will Disley in the end zone.

349
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: They're up seven to nothing. Justin Herbert loving it on

350
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: the sideline. Of course, the Lion integrated some new coordinators,

351
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn Out, John Morton making his debut

352
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: as Detroit's new offensive coordinator up in the booth. Lions

353
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: down seven to nothing at this point. Kyle Allen picked

354
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: off by Nico Ree, undrafted free agent. That's one way

355
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: to try to make the team. Two interceptions in the

356
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: game for Allen, Jared Goff and Dan Campbell looking on

357
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: right there. Chargers back on offense now, Trey Lance still

358
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: in the game. Great showcase for the former number three

359
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: overall draft pick, this time airing it out to KeAndre

360
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: and Lambert Smith. Remember that name. You're gonna hear it

361
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: again even within this highlight. Packets Charges up fourteen to seven.

362
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: Second quarter, third and six, Lance, Lambert Smith and into

363
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: the end zone right there. Kelvin Shepherd's Lions defense struggle

364
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: to slow down Trey Lance. Don't worry, the real player

365
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: is going to be coming back soon. Chargers win thirty

366
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: four to seven. That's just the kickoff of Hall of

367
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: Fame weekend out in Canton, Ohio. Tomorrow, we got a

368
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: special three hour edition of Inside Training Camp Live from

369
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: nine to new Eastern, followed by the Hall of Fame

370
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: Enshrineman ceremony. Catch it all tomorrow noon Eastern on NFL

371
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: Network and streaming on NFL plut.

372
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 7: Judy, let's go now to one of the prettiest locations

373
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 7: on the training camp circuit, the Seattle Seahawks in Renton, Washington. Listen,

374
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 7: all eyes are on Sam Donald and how he is

375
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 7: settling in with his new team. And his old friend

376
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 7: Clint Kopiak is there, who was with him in San Francisco.

377
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 7: Of course, he had the breakout season last year hybridget

378
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 7: content in Minnesota, and the big question is can that

379
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 7: be replicated in Seattle. Bridget, you have been there all day.

380
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 7: What are your takeaways from the practice.

381
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 8: Judy, Exactly. A lot of people are wondering what Sam

382
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 8: Donald will look like here with the Seattle Seahawks. Well,

383
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 8: I can tell you. We're sitting just outside of the

384
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 8: locker room and I have a direct line into the

385
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 8: locker room. And after practice, Sam Donald was one of

386
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 8: the few players to go into the weight room. He

387
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 8: was working kind of looked like he was stretching with

388
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 8: the bands for probably about fifteen to twenty minutes. And

389
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 8: that dedication is exactly what head coach Mike McDonald likes

390
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 8: from his quarterback. We asked him just minutes after practice

391
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 8: about Sam Donald and he said he he knew the

392
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 8: kind of player that he was obviously playing up against him,

393
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 8: but it was the person he was that he fell

394
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 8: in love with, and that's who he wants leading his team.

395
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 8: One of the best plays of the day from practice

396
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 8: was Sam Darnold threw Cooper Cup a pass he was

397
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 8: on a slant route. He took it to the house.

398
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 8: The first person to come over in high five Cooper

399
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 8: Cup was Jackson Smith and Jigba. I know a lot

400
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 8: of talk about Cup and Njigba both playing the slot,

401
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 8: but Cup said earlier that they're just fueling each other

402
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 8: and that's how you get better having an elite receiver

403
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 8: like him in the room. But as Mike McDonald enters

404
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 8: year two, some of the things he's looking for Judy

405
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 8: is to be physical, to be tough. Look, this is

406
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 8: a team that a season ago was bottom five in

407
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 8: terms of rushing attempts and rushing yards. He wants to

408
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 8: change that. Kenneth Walker says he's healthy, he's feeling good,

409
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 8: he's eaten better. He's going to bed. Earlier, he said

410
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 8: he was going at one am, and now Judy he's

411
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 8: going to bed at ten. I'm like, I'm going to

412
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 8: bed at eight. I mean, I don't know. Maybe he'll

413
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 8: have his MVP season if he starts going to bed

414
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 8: at eight like the rest of us. But look, they're

415
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 8: doing every thing they can to get better, Judy on offense,

416
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 8: and it shows that chemistry that they're building out here

417
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 8: in Retin.

418
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 7: All right, let's turn our attention to the defense. Anybody's

419
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 7: standing out there.

420
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, his name is e Man. That's what m Rob

421
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 8: has been calling him. Gave him a nickname already, the

422
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 8: safety nick e Man.

423
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: Worry.

424
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 8: He was the second round pick for this team. He

425
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 8: was one of the biggest guys out there on the field,

426
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 8: definitely noticeable by his size, but also the plays that

427
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 8: he's making already as a young rookie. He had a

428
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 8: diving interception I'm told in practice yesterday and then today

429
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 8: another pick. The crowd was cheering for him He's definitely

430
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 8: an addition for this defensive back room. And with him

431
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: and Devin Witherspoon, who had a Pro Bowl season last

432
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 8: year and his rookie year, this defense continues to look

433
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 8: like that defense. We know the Seahawks are able to

434
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 8: be back. I don't know more than a decade ago.

435
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 8: I guess we're talking about, But Judy, a lot of

436
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 8: exciting things here in Seattle, Bridget.

437
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.

438
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 7: Enjoy that beautiful setting in Renton, Washington. And when we

439
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 7: come back, we're going to head back or I guess

440
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 7: you're going to head for the first time to East Rutherford.

441
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 7: It's where I spent the early part of the day

442
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 7: with the New York Giants. We'll talk about how Big

443
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 7: Blue is looking in training camp when we return.

444
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: US Cowboys Parsons announcing it himself in a social media

445
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: post detailing a variety of frustrations with the organization and

446
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: his interactions with owner Jerry Jones, saying in part that

447
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: unfortunately he no longer wants to be a Cowboy. He

448
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: is still in Oxnark, California. He is still in training camp,

449
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: has not practiced to this point, and no signs that'll change.

450
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 2: Anytime soon.

451
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: Several Cowboys teammates coming to Mike his aid in all this,

452
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: including Ceedee Lambot his own situation playout last year.

453
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: CD posting never fails. Dog.

454
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: Just pay the man what you owe him, no need

455
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: for the extra curricular. Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pillisero,

456
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: now joined by our Bucky Brooks.

457
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: Monkey.

458
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: You played in the league, you worked in front offices

459
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: in the league.

460
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: Tell me what you make.

461
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: Of these developments on August first, between Michael Parsons and

462
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys.

463
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 9: It's unbelievable, Tom, It's unbelievable that their best player on

464
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 9: the Dallas Cowboys is treated in the manner of which

465
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 9: the Cowboys have decided to treat him. Michael Parsons comes

466
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 9: into training camp operating under a negotiation of good faith.

467
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 10: I'm coming here, We're gonna get this deal done.

468
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 9: And yet we still are sitting here on August first,

469
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 9: and no deal has been consummated.

470
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 10: They haven't figured out.

471
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 11: What they're doing.

472
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 9: And to me, this is a repeated theme with the

473
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 9: Dallas Cowboys. They never take care of their best players,

474
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 9: whether it's Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott, Cedee Lamb. The list

475
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 9: goes on and on and on. When it's time to

476
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 9: pay the bill, the Dallas Cowboys don't do it. And unfortunately,

477
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 9: it's a relationship business teams talk every day about Hey man,

478
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 9: it's about holding commitment, accountability, and trust. We've got to

479
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 9: be committed to one another. We've got to be accountable

480
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 9: one another, and we have to trust one another. It

481
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 9: is hard to foster that environment in the locker room

482
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 9: when the people in the locker room don't believe that

483
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 9: the people upstairs truly hold on to that ethos And

484
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 9: so Jerry Jones may eventually win the deal, but he's

485
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 9: hurting the team because no one really feels strongly about

486
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 9: wearing the star because they don't feel like ownership and

487
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 9: the front office will take care of them if they

488
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 9: do what they do for the franchise, they're not going

489
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 9: to get paid in return.

490
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: The irony is the Cowboys end up doing even higher

491
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: level deals a lot of the time in the end,

492
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: but sometimes, in the case of for instance, Dac Prescott,

493
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: I can take multiple years beyond that point at a

494
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: time that the market is rising, which has also been

495
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: what's playing out here with the Edge Rushers. Bucky, thank

496
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: you very much for your perspective, Judy Well.

497
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 7: I started the day out at Giants practice with Baldy

498
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 7: and Mike Garafalo. What stood out well? The offense had

499
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 7: a really good day. We'd said it before. There's an

500
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 7: awful lot of positivity around Russell Wilson that he has

501
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 7: brought to the team. But the one person who really

502
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 7: stood out today was Abdul Carter. That this is not

503
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 7: the first time we have said that about him. He

504
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 7: was wrecking everything today. His burst off the ball is startling.

505
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 7: He had a variety of moves on display today. One

506
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 7: a spin move that got him around the outside of

507
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 7: John Runyan. Another time he was rushing inside and just

508
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 7: burst right through the line. They are moving him all

509
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 7: around the formation. They had him today on the field

510
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 7: with cave On Thibodeau and Brian Burns all at the

511
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 7: same time. This is the kind of excitement that Abdul

512
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 7: Carter has brought to the Giants. When he does something

513
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 7: like maybe the spin move, his fellow defenders are whooping

514
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 7: it up. That's how excited they are to see what

515
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 7: he can do in a game situation. After practice, we

516
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 7: sat down with cave On Thibodeaux and Brian Burns.

517
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 12: I'm kve on Thibodeau. We got Brian Burns, got Baldy

518
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 12: and we got Judy in here. I mean, today was

519
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 12: a great day.

520
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 11: Right you tell us was what kind of day was?

521
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 10: It came?

522
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 13: It was definitely a defense to day. I think it

523
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 13: was fun.

524
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 12: Burns got to the quarterback, I got to the quarterback.

525
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 12: We were stopping to run, We're getting interceptions. It was

526
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 12: a fun day on defense.

527
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 10: It was. It was a great battle.

528
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 14: You know, rest operates well, operates quickly, so he's kind

529
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 14: of speeding up our clock. We can't have any wasted

530
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 14: movements with our Russia, so we've been getting home.

531
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 10: But he's also been making some places.

532
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 15: I saw it two minutes drill like towards the end

533
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 15: of practice right there, kept out of the end.

534
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 10: Zie. That's always a good feeling, right.

535
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 13: There's definitely like to start a two minute off of

536
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 13: the sack.

537
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you did right?

538
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 13: You know, hey, you know what.

539
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: Was the move?

540
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 11: What'd you.

541
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 12: I've been going to a lot of power this training camp,

542
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 12: just because of the sense we've been getting, so definitely

543
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 12: tailoring my moves to the setters and then you know,

544
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 12: keep kind of opening it up as we you know,

545
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 12: set up those initial moves.

546
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 16: Brian, you mentioned that the way Russell runs practice, right,

547
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 16: it's forcing everything to speed up. It feels like the

548
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 16: past rush in particular has been really active, at least

549
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 16: in the days we've been able to see here in

550
00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 16: the beginning.

551
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 10: Really just a start. There's really just to start, honestly,

552
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 10: dex is and out there all the way.

553
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 14: You know, he's still nursing somewhat of his nicks and bruises,

554
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 14: but so far we've been looking very sharp and you know,

555
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 14: getting abduall up to speed with us, you know, just

556
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 14: continuing to teach him and really mold him into a pro.

557
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 10: You know, it's really been a great feeling.

558
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 12: It's really dope for me to see, you know, russ

559
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 12: like playing with different quarterbacks and now having like a

560
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 12: true legend in there that's calling and checking and doing

561
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 12: everything that you know you would expect him to do

562
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 12: or you would see or you would hope you do,

563
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 12: but like he's doing it full flash. So it's been dope,

564
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 12: you know even for us, like playing off of him

565
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 12: and understanding.

566
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 10: What he's doing.

567
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 16: How much your energy and positivity is But that's been

568
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 16: mentioned to us a few days here, the positivity and

569
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 16: the energy Russ springs.

570
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 6: How does that even affect you guys on defense?

571
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 14: It affects me definitely, me because we were right next

572
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 14: to each other. So I asked Rus questions all day.

573
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 14: And it's whether it's football or just how he operates,

574
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 14: like taking care of his body, or just like his

575
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 14: mindset like he has. He's strong mentally, you know, So

576
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 14: I kind of want to take some of those things

577
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 14: and and apply it to my life and my game.

578
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 12: I think it also creates belief, you know, when you

579
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 12: have guys that you can trust in one on the

580
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 12: field and what they do, but then to the character

581
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 12: and who they are and how they carry themselves. It

582
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 12: gives you know, each player confidence to go be themselves

583
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 12: and to find out where they fit, you know, amongst

584
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 12: the team. So for me personally, I'm right down the

585
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 12: way kind of on the same block as Burns and Russ.

586
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 13: But you know, just hearing how he's bringing everybody along.

587
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 12: He not only you know, brings up the offense but

588
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 12: also the defense, and he likes to call people up

589
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 12: not out.

590
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 10: So I love that your leader.

591
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 15: Yeah, so you mentioned Abdul, What has he been like

592
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 15: because I see in your past rush sets, like he's

593
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 15: moving around, he's in different places, he's over the guard,

594
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 15: over the center, and you guys are on the edge

595
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 15: most of the time. But like just his addition and

596
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 15: his energy, and you know, he looks like he's got

597
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 15: a lot of juice for the game.

598
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 10: He does. But honestly, just using his versatility to our benefit.

599
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 14: Like I said, it's imperative that we move him around

600
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 14: because you don't want him in one spot and he

601
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 14: can do so much yo, And we're all similar body types,

602
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 14: so we all can really be interchangeable. As long as

603
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 14: we know exactly the concepts of the games that we're

604
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 14: running and the concept of the play, we can all

605
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 14: be in different spots.

606
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 16: We can feel the belief here, the high energy, the

607
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 16: anticipation tell Giants fans why they should believe in this

608
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 16: version of the Giants this year.

609
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 14: I will honestly just say it's a new season, you know,

610
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 14: and the way I look at everything, we have to

611
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 14: prove it.

612
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 10: And this is what we're doing in training camp right now.

613
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 14: So with the energy they're bringing to our practices and

614
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 14: the belief that Russ has instilled into the team, I

615
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 14: just think like the sky's a limit for all.

616
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 12: Of us, and I would say to giants fans, us

617
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 12: against the world. So as long as you guys are

618
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 12: riding with us, we're gonna take on whoever we need

619
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 12: to and whoever was.

620
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 10: On the other side, stay over there.

621
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 7: When we return, Adam Rank is going to join the

622
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 7: show to talk about surprise bum bears when we return.

623
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: On The Insiders, our top story tonight, Michael Parsons has

624
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: requested a raid from the Dallas Cowboys. This following months

625
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: of on and mostly off contract talks about a blockbuster

626
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: extension that would make Parsons the highest paid non quarterback

627
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: in NFL history. A bunch of teammates also taking to

628
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: social media to have Parsons back, some of them changing

629
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: their profile photos on x to photos of Michael Parsons

630
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, who went through his own situation just a

631
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: year ago, weighing in and saying, never fails, dog. Just

632
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: pay the man what you owe him, no need for

633
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: the extra curricular.

634
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Insiders. WHOA, whoa?

635
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 4: What is that new bio on Adam Rank's Twitter?

636
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 3: He is a favorite of my mailman. That is true.

637
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 4: I can confirm I actually went out to get the mail,

638
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 4: ran into my mailman and he was like, man, I

639
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 4: love your show The Insiders, but you know who I

640
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 4: really like Adam Rank, who, by the way, joins us

641
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 4: right now on this very show The Inside is Rank.

642
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: I want to say first, I know we're going to

643
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 4: get to some other stuff. Congratulations. That's as good as

644
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 4: it gets.

645
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 17: There's nothing better than that. It's like everybody loving the

646
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 17: backup quarterback. They're like, yeah, the guy who's on your

647
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 17: show once a week, we love him. But I appreciate it.

648
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 17: Shout out to your mail man, thank you for everything

649
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 17: you do.

650
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he does a great job of bringing the mail

651
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: to the mailbox. Also, very nice guy.

652
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 10: Rank.

653
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 4: A couple of days ago, I was at Chicago Bears

654
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 4: training camp.

655
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: It's going to be a fascinating season for the Bears.

656
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: A lot to like defensively, Offensively, there's a little bit

657
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 4: of a ways to go, and I think Caleb Williams

658
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 4: it's cleared with the right guy. What has been your

659
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: takeaways from the Chicago Bears first camp under coach Ben Johnson.

660
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 17: Well, it's definitely been a work in progress. It's not

661
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 17: going to be something that's going to be immediate I

662
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 17: know a lot of Bears fans don't have a lot

663
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 17: of patience for this, which is understandable when you're give

664
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 17: in the struggles over the last number of years and

665
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 17: you have a name like Ben Johnson in and you

666
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 17: want to see it click immediately.

667
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 11: But what they need right.

668
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 17: Now is just getting Caleb Williams to master the mundane,

669
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 17: to go out there and make sure that he's not

670
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 17: always trying to play hero ball, that he's out there

671
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 17: taking a check down or something like that. And there

672
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 17: was a play in practice on Thursday. It was a

673
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 17: third and four and Olamande's a kias he was out

674
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 17: streaking three triple covered and last year that's the kind

675
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 17: of throw Kayleb Williams would have taken, but made the

676
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 17: right decision, checked it down to Cole Comet, picked up

677
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 17: the first down and we're able to move the change.

678
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 17: And I think that's the kind of thing that we

679
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 17: need to see out of Caleb Williams immediately.

680
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 11: You don't want to make him play, you.

681
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 17: Know, you don't want to take away his the special

682
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 17: qualities that he has, but you also wanted to make

683
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 17: smart decisions and keep that offense out there on the field.

684
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: Right when I was there. It was the first practice

685
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 3: for their first.

686
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 4: Round rookie Colston Lovelin, who I think a lot of

687
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 4: people is a big surprise in the draft as early

688
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: as he went going by before Tyler Warren talk to

689
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 4: people on the Bear staff though, and they think this

690
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 4: is a matchup nightmare. What do you make of Colston

691
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 4: Loveland as a rookie.

692
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 17: Yeah, I really like the way that they approached the draft,

693
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 17: like not only going out there and getting Colston Lovelin,

694
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 17: but also bringing in Luther Burden the third in the

695
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 17: second round. Obviously, the goal is to go out there

696
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 17: and surround the Chicago with surround Caleb with as much

697
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 17: talent as possible. We're gonna see a lot of twelve

698
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 17: personnel from this team. There's going to be a lot

699
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 17: of different, lot of different guys that Caleb Williams can

700
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 17: throw to. Not only do you have DJ Moore Roma Dunz,

701
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 17: but now you have Colston Lovelin along with Cole Comett

702
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 17: and don't forget deanre Swift had seventy receptions the last

703
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 17: time he played with Ben Johnson when both of them

704
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 17: were in Detroit. There are going to be a lot

705
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 17: of options for Caleb Williams this season.

706
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, really going to be clear how much the Bears

707
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 4: have built around Caleb Williams when you see them take

708
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 4: the field this year. It's gonna be a really interesting

709
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 4: season in Chicago. Better days ahead for you, Rank, appreciate

710
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,840

Speaker 3: We are under the twenty four hour clock.

721

Speaker 19: I'm excited with the day's festivities going on. We at

725
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 19: the ray Nisky luncheon today where it's just the Hall

726
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 19: of Fame guys.

727
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 10: New guys weren't.

728
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 19: Able to speak, but you just kind of soak up

729
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 19: the energy and kind of get a really good idea

730
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 19: of what.

731
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 10: You've been able to accomplish, and it was very special.

732
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 10: Is it also what you've accomplished, but also what is.

733
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 18: Required because of the rare air you're about to really

734
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 18: start breathing.

735
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 19: Yeah, that's great, that's great. That's a good question. And

736
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 19: you're right because as you walk through the hallways, you

737
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 19: kind of get an understanding of the guys that you followed,

738
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 19: the great players that you tried to emulate your game after,

739
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 19: and then there's those guys that you never thought you

740
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 19: would be in the same you know, room with those guys,

741
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 19: and it is an incredibly honor, you know that you

742
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 19: continue to kind of every time I wake up, it's

743
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 19: like I'm walking down the hall and Okay, there goes

744
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 19: you know, Charlie John, you know, there goes Dan Fouts,

745
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 19: you know, there goes Mike Haynes. So it's just over

746
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 19: and over again. Just kind of get the, uh, that

747
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 19: great feeling of being on a great team.

748
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 10: Have you had a chance to think back for this

749
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 10: whole process.

750
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 18: It's random McDaniel knocked on your door, Let you know,

751
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 18: to think back and say Wow, what a good career

752
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 18: I've had, What a great life I've lived.

753
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 10: What a good player I want?

754
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 19: Steve, you're forced to kind of when you're going through

755
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 19: the speech preparation, the images that they ask you to submit,

756
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 19: so you have to do a little digging, and you

757
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 19: know you're reaching out to friends and family, and it's

758
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 19: just natural to pause a little bit, you know, at

759
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 19: the end of every night for the last month or so,

760
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 19: every night and kind of like, wow, you know they

761
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 19: want a picture of me in a Pop Warner uniform

762
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 19: because that was a part of the journey, and you

763
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 19: start to kind of understand the biggest thing is there's

764
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 19: a sacrifice that I have to make that all these

765
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 19: players have to make to get here, and that sacrifices,

766
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 19: you know, lost time because instead of going out, you

767
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 19: worked out. Instead of you know, going to a party,

768
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 19: you know, you went to the playbook. But also there's

769
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 19: a sacrifice from your family. Once you get to this level,

770
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 19: if you want to maintain and stay here, there has

771
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 19: to be a sacrifice from everyone. So you can focus

772
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 19: and concentrate on what you're trying to do and at

773
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 19: the time, you're not thinking about this specific place, you're

774
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 19: thinking about just being bettered inan Dion, being bettered in

775
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 19: Darryl Green, you know, shutting down Chris Carter or mikee Irvin.

776
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 19: Those are things you're thinking about. But ultimately all those

777
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 19: things together lead you here.

778
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 4: I had a nice little talk with myself to not

779
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 4: get emotional during these ceremonies. And you listen to Eric

780
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 4: Allen get emotional himself and you're like, oh boy, I'm

781
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 4: done for it.

782
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 3: Anyway, that'll be fun over this weekend.

783
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 4: Still a lot of fun here, including our good friend

784
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 4: my Meilmen's favorite Adam Rank coming back and down the

785
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 4: inside is just talk about that guy right there. Kyler

786
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: Murray leaves some information for me.

787
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 10: Rank.

788
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go see them in a couple of days.

789
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals training camp rolling on in Glendale, Arizona. Kyler Murray

790
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: back for more in a big year for everybody in Arizona,

791
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: including his head coach Jonathan Again.

792
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 20: It's competitive stamina. Do what your coach would do over

793
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 20: and over and over when when it's not sexy at times,

794
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 20: You know what I mean, And that's I think every quarterback.

795
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 20: I think they got to know that I you know,

796
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 20: and but you got to know when it's needed too,

797
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 20: you know, and there's different spots in a game that

798
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 20: it's it's there's a lot going on, you know what

799
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 20: I mean, And you got to make the correct decision

800
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 20: over and over and over. But I think he's done

801
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 20: a good job of that. You know, I'll never question

802
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 20: his decision making. I know what we coach, and I

803
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 20: know what he's allowed to do and what he sees.

804
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 20: But I trust him to make the right decision and

805
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 20: make plays for us. I really do.

806
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Insiders, Tom Pilacero, joined once again

807
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: by Adam Rank. Adam, this is a really fascinating Cardinals team.

808
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: They've got some pieces in place. It's been a build

809
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: over the past few years. What stood out to you

810
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: from Arizona.

811
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 17: Well, it's one of the things that's about Kyler Murray

812
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 17: and what they really need is hint to play a

813
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 17: lot better. When you look back at last year's statistics,

814
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 17: you know, the Cardinals were middle of the pack in

815
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 17: a lot of the passing categories, which you kind of

816
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 17: expected them to be better on, especially when you bring

817
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 17: in a player like Marvin Harrison Junior. And the one

818
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 17: thing that really stood out to me with the Cardinals.

819
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 17: Is that when you looked at the numbers or Kyler Murray,

820
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 17: he wasn't it wasn't too bad. But he really struggled

821
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 17: on passes to Marvin Harrison Junior, which seems counterintuitive. It

822
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 17: seems like that should not be the way. But when

823
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 17: he's throwing to Trey McBride or Greg Dort, his numbers

824
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 17: were through the roof. It's when he was going after

825
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 17: Marvin Harrison Junior is when he really took a step back.

826
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 11: But I expect those to kind of.

827
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 17: Progress this season, for them to get on the same

828
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 17: page a little bit more. And one of the things

829
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 17: that I really like this team and what they've done

830
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 17: a really nice job of over the last couple of

831
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 17: years is drafting offensive linemen really well. And last year's pick,

832
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 17: Isaiah Adams has been the talk of camp for Arizona.

833
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 17: Now you sit there and you look at this Cardinals

834
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 17: offensive line. Could it be one of the best offensive

835
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 17: lines in football. It's starting to trend that way, which

836
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 17: could really help the development of this offense.

837
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: Rag I didn't hear a word you just said, because

838
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: let's keep the Kla Murray video up here for a second.

839
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 2: Is he wearing a kilt.

840
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: I am seeing a very large amount of side leg

841
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: all the way up the top here.

842
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: Rank. It is.

843
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 17: Those are like the track shorts from back in the day.

844
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 17: For the guys who are running the hurdles. You're like, yeah,

845
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 17: I don't want to be constricted as much what I'm

846
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 17: out here running like Edwin Moses.

847
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 11: I need a little bit more flexibility.

848
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 10: It is.

849
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 11: It's a look. It is some of these guys.

850
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 17: I also don't understand the thing with like the crop

851
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 17: top jersey, but then the undershirt is super long, like

852
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 17: I know, like they call it aura and all that stuff.

853
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 17: I do not have that right now. I wear polo shirts.

854
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 17: I understand I should not be talking about fashion. However,

855
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 17: this is definitely a look, not one that you and

856
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 17: I might be able to pull off.

857
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 2: Rank.

00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,600

Speaker 21: I played with Mason Taylor's dad and uncle, so I

867
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 21: mean kind of fun. What's that like seeing him running

868
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 21: around making I mean, I remember him running around in

869
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 21: Courtland when he was little. Just today, if you remembers

870
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 21: living in New York And he said a little bit,

871
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 21: So it's a crazy world now we kind of we're

872
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 21: in right now. But fun to be around. I mean,

873
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 21: obviously he's a great player, and his family great lineage

874
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 21: of players, so you know, it's it's been fun.

876
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,920

00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: and seven. Judy, that's one of those boy he must

878
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: feel old moments until you remember we're all older than him.

879
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, because they haven't trained in Courtland in years. So

880
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 7: when he mentioned he remembers Courtland, I was like.

881
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 14: Ooh.

882
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 20: Jeez.

883
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know why anybody enjoys these moments.

884
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 4: These moments are awful, like it's not fun to be like, oh, man,

885
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 4: I remember this guy who used to be a kid

886
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 4: is now a player, Like that's terrible.

887
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 3: I don't want to think of that. I'm young at

888
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 3: least that was.

889
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: That's why Antoine Winfield junior today and he's now a

890
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: established veteran in the league.

891
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 2: I covered his dad for most of.

892
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: His career up there in Minnesota's got chance to catch

893
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: him with Todd Bowles, who told us.

894
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: This, You're such a mild mannered guy.

895
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 11: Every time we see you walt here.

896
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 1: Do you still have you still have those moments left?

897
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: Fire come up beyond the seat.

898
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 19: Bruce Banner is a moud man guy.

899
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 3: You holk ut, you holk out occasionally, don't you say?

900
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 13: I think I've gotten older?

901
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 11: You know about powers have left me.

902
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles also when talking about Baker Mayfield, said, and

903
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: I quote, we can't put on puppeteer gloves and just

904
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: mush him along for the season.

905
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: He's in words of things I've never heard of. Ian Uh.

906
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 2: That's why we love Todd. It's always fun talking to him.

907
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Todd Bowles is one of the best.

908
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 4: And this is why he is a rock star in

909
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 4: this box locker room because of lines like that. Meanwhile,

910
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys brought back an old friend, that is

911
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 4: Layout Collins.

912
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 3: Remember Lyle Collins used to be a starter for the Cowboys.

913
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 3: Then wasn't then was anyway?

914
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: Then weekend everybody say Monday

915
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 6: H
