1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: The NFL's touchdown leader, just got his bag in Buffalo.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: We will tell you how the deal got done and

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: what Cook had to say about remaining a bill after

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: his training camp holding. It's big week for joint practices

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: across the NFL, including the Browns and Eagles, and then

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: some work in Philly like Garifollo was there for the action.

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: It'll join us and talk about an injury that could

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: alter Cleveland's quarterback competition. If you're altering your fantasy draft board,

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: don't miss Michael f Florio, who will join us tonight

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: talk about some players who could put up video game

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: numbers in twenty twenty five, and it might not be

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: who you think. Welcome inside with the Insiders, presented by

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: SATVA alongside Judy Batista. I am Tom Peliicero. We are

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: now just twenty two days out from kickoff of the

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five NFL regular season. Was kick it off

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football, a great one against the Ravens.

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: And now whatever doubt existed about whether they were going

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: to have their starting running back, well that has now

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: fallen by the wayside. James Cook signing his deal this morning.

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: It is a four year forty eight million dollar contract,

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: including thirty million guaranteed. Cook had been sitting out over

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: the past week and a half. He said it was

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: about business. Now he's got business done, and he certainly

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: sounds happy to be sticking around. And I'm want to

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: say difficult.

26
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: I hindered it the right way.

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: I felt like and.

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: O and all we got stuff done. I mean, especially

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: you know the guys that came in with me. We

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: all got rewarded. And I mean, now that's time to

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: fus to go play football and sewing why we belong here.

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: Hopefully bring a super Bowl here. That's what I'm trying

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: to do, and just keep elevating my game.

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: We talked about this a lot, really over the past

35
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: several months, but increasingly over these past couple of the

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: sides were not far apart on a deal. There was

37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: a priority for the Bills, going all the way back

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: to the spring, before they did all those other extensions

39
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: to lock up their young core, they tried to get

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: James Cook done first. The sides just weren't quite on

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: the same page in terms of exactly what that number

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: should be. Cooks at one point had said fifteen million

43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: dollars per year, was what he was shooting for. That

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: would be in that McCaffrey Saque Derrick Henry area here.

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: In recent days they came off that number. He still

46
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: outpaces the deal that Kyraen Williams side last week for

47
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars per year with the Rams. This following

48
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Cook's return to practice on Tuesday. The Bills did not

49
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: want to set a precedent that they were going to

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: finalize the deal with a guy who wasn't on the field,

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: So good faith from Cook to get back on the field,

52
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: and the hours that followed that Tuesday practice he had

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: really ramped up behind the scenes. Early this morning, officially,

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: James Cook locked up in Buffalo. Now do fifty three

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: point two million dollars through the twenty twenty nine seasons.

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Wear Brian Baldinger to the conversation as well. Judy, Again,

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: we talked about this a lot. This seemed like, unlike

58
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: some of the other situations, they were going to be

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: able to bridge this gap. It was a matter of when.

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: What was your takeaway from the deal it ultimately got

61
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: done in Buffalo.

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, you're right, it never really seemed

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 4: to ever get acrimonious in Buffalo, so you always felt

64
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: like there were good intentions there on both sides. My

65
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: takeaway is, as he put it himself, as James Cook

66
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: himself put it, he did handle it the right way

67
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: right you would say, a hold in worked. But when

68
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: he declined to practice, that is what got the Bills

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: a little bit on edge. And as you pointed out,

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: they did not want to set a precedent. They wanted

71
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: him to be on the field. He went back on

72
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: the field, good faith gesture, and the deal got done.

73
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 4: My other takeaway is what an off season for the

74
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills. They signed six of their own players to

75
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: contract extensions that are worth at least each extension worth

76
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: at least forty million total value. And of course Josh

77
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: Allen was the headliner, but James Cook, all of these guys,

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: Khalil Shakir, all of these guys whom they have drafted,

79
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: they've won a lot of games with over the last

80
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: few years, and now they keep them in the fold

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 4: long term to try to make that push for a

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. Really smart team building, really smart roster management.

83
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: And now the final whatever impediment it might have been,

84
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 4: whatever distraction it might have been, as this thing got

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: worked out over now for the Buffalo Bills and they

86
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: can go forward.

87
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: Baldi. There's always questions about what the proper value point

88
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: is when it comes to running backs. Here, this position

89
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: relative to let's say, wide receiver is obviously just not

90
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: in the same category. From financial perspective, twelve million dollars

91
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: per year for James Cook thirty million guaranteed. That is,

92
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: within the context of running backs a big investment. How

93
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: do you feel knowing what James Cook brings to Buffalo

94
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: about the value they'll get away from locking him up

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: for years to go?

96
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 5: Well, they have You have a nice group have running backs,

97
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: the Ray Davis right there and Ty Johnson, they all

98
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: have the role. But James Cook is a guy that

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 5: has elite vision, and he's got a great first step,

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 5: and he gets the running game going. And he's twenty

101
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 5: five years old, he's coming off a second Pro Bowl.

102
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: Aaron Cromber works with that offensive line in the run

103
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 5: game extensively, and he tells me like, this is an

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: elite player.

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 6: He's got great feet and great vision.

106
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: And so look, Brandon Beans has done a great job

107
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 5: of tying up their young core of players, keeping him together,

108
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 5: keeping that group together so that you know, maybe they

109
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 5: will be able to keep chopping, keep chopping and maybe

110
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 5: break through in the AFC. But I think it makes

111
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 5: a lot of sense to keep you know, James Cook there.

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 5: He has proven himself over three years. He's been healthy

113
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: and he's been really productive, and he's young. The legs

114
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 5: are still really really you know, fresh, and he still

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: can finish drives and finished runs like this one right here.

116
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 5: So I thought it was really an important step and

117
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 5: to keep that core together because it's going to be

118
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 5: the corese not just Josh Allen.

119
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 6: It's got to be the other guys.

120
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 5: The offensive line returns intact from a year ago right now,

121
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 5: so they're bringing back a lot of familiarity and a

122
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 5: group that you know, I would think is pretty hungry

123
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 5: the way things finished a year ago.

124
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: The Bill's making it rain for James Cook, just like

125
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: someone's making it rain right outside Judy's window. If you're

126
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: wondering what that sound is, wet'll have a storm apparently

127
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: in New York, but is unrelated. The storm is over

128
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills and their running back, Baldy. Thank

129
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: you a lot more from you to come in just

130
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. Also, in development today surrounding the Brown's

131
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: quarterback situation and the player who made the most noise

132
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: of anybody really across the NFL in the first preseason week.

133
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders, coming off of a strong debut against Carolina,

134
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: suffered an oblique injury in practice earlier today in the

135
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: joint practice with the Eagles. The Browns released a statement

136
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: saying that Sanders is day today, is not going to

137
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday, unlikely to play on Saturday again against

138
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles, which now judy at a time that the Browns,

139
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: who have seemingly had an endless string of not major

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: injuries but just minor soft tissue things, guys missing several

141
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: days of practice, Kenny Pickets still not out there. This

142
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: now suddenly could be the opportunity for Dylan Gabriel to

143
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: answer what Shadur did in Week one by going out

144
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: there in week two.

145
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really unfortunate. The entire quarterback competition has really

146
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: been pockmarked by these little nagging injuries to three out

147
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: of the four guys. I mean, who would have ever

148
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: imagined that the forty year old Joe Flacco was going

149
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: to be the most healthy one of the quarterbacks Kenny

150
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: Pickett is participating in seven on sevens still dealing with

151
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: his hamstring injury. They really have not seen enough of him,

152
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: and now chadur is going to miss some time with

153
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 4: this oblique injury, which unfortunately, as we know, oblique injuries

154
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: can linger, so they've got to be.

155
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 7: Really careful with this.

156
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: But yes, this does set up to be Dylan Gabriel's opportunity.

157
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: Earlier today, before Shador got hurt, Kevin Stefanski said that

158
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: the idea had always been to give each of the

159
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: rookies us start in the preseason game. So this would

160
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: then line up for Dylan Gabriel if he is okay

161
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: to go. He came back from his own hamstring issue

162
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: a few days ago and has been participating in eleven

163
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: on eleven, so if he gets through these joint practices

164
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: with the Eagles intact, we should see him as the

165
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: starting quarterback on Saturday, and then we will see when

166
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: Shador Sanders can get back on the field. But Kevin

167
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 4: Stefanski has made clear he wants to make a decision

168
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: on the pecking order here sooner rather than later, so

169
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: time is running short for all of these guys.

170
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: S Briana Mike Garafolo, who was at that practice earlier today,

171
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: I believes at the Giants facility they found out he

172
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,239
Speaker 1: was here to talk about Eagles and slash his microphone.

173
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: So Mike joined us right now, Ya zoom, you saw

174
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: that on the field, Mike, tell me about what you

175
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: make of where the Browns quarterback situation continues to evolve,

176
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: but also just what you saw in this practice overall.

177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 8: I would say that the most age part to me

178
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 8: is that the guy who hasn't gotten hurt at the

179
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 8: quarterback position is the allegedly old guy, Joe Flecco, who's

180
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 8: still standing and had his entire family there today.

181
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 9: There was a lot of family at that practice today.

182
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 8: Kevin Sefanski from the Philadelphia area, Andrew Berry and Adam

183
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 8: Berry who now works for the Eagles, that they were

184
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 8: there with their family as well. So this was about

185
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 8: as jovial and cooperative a joint practice as you can imagine.

186
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 8: There was a minor scuffle there when it came to

187
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 8: special teams, as one coach said to me, Yeah, it's

188
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 8: always special teams. Those are the guys that are on

189
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 8: the edge of the roster trying to make it and

190
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 8: they get a little frisky from time to time, but

191
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 8: these sides got in good work. You had Jalen Hurts

192
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 8: there working with the Eagles starting offense. Obviously Shador and Sanders.

193
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 8: Jalen and Shador at the end of practice had spent

194
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 8: some time together, and Jalen said that Shador sought him

195
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 8: out there.

196
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 9: It is right there, trust me.

197
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 8: That's them and that is big dumb standing with his

198
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 8: golf cart, which the two of them.

199
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 9: Jalen Hurts then took.

200
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 8: Shador for a ride, and at that point I didn't

201
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 8: really put two and two together, said maybe he's doing

202
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 8: it because he's heard, or they were just so far away.

203
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 8: I think they wanted to be far away. There's a ride,

204
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 8: mind if we play through. They were so far away

205
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 8: and I think they wanted their privacy over there. So

206
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 8: Jalen Hurts has been one to pay it back to

207
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 8: some of the younger guys, whether it's the guys at

208
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 8: Oklahoma or Alabama, He's been in communication with those, or

209
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 8: the younger quarterbacks in the league.

210
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 9: He had people that he relied upon.

211
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 8: So he's already trying to pay it back to some

212
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 8: of the younger guys, and that's what he did today.

213
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 9: With Shador Sanders, just some advice that he can give

214
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 9: in this situation.

215
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, another accomplished college quarterback who did not go

216
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: in the first round, was drafted to be a backup.

217
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: Worked out pretty well for him and the Eagles coming

218
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: off of a Super Bowl MBT season. That was not

219
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: the only joint practice in the NFL today. This has

220
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: become popular in recent years before the second preseason game,

221
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: in particular about the Lions and the Dolphins going at

222
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: it earlier today. At least the Lions, based upon these

223
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: images you're seeing right here, seem to be getting the

224
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: better of the Dolphins across the board. And now, let's

225
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: say the way things went did not sit great with

226
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins quarterback to a tongue by Lowa.

227
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 10: I think today offensively was a very frustrating day, you know,

228
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 10: in regards to what we wanted to do. What we

229
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 10: said we wanted to do came out, you know, and

230
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 10: we we just weren't able to get things jump started,

231
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 10: whether it was moved the ball, whether it was one

232
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 10: of the third down team periods, another team period, red zone.

233
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 10: It just felt like we didn't have the energy that

234
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 10: that you know, we're used to when we practice and

235
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 10: when we play against you know, opponents. So that's what

236
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 10: I'm talking about when I talk about it was frustrating today.

237
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: When I was in Miami during inside training camp, that

238
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: was one of those days for the Dolphins offense too.

239
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: It was sloppy, the ball was on the ground a lot. Now,

240
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddall have been banged up with injuries,

241
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: Darren Waller still not ready to practice. You're going against

242
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the NFL MIC in

243
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: the Lions, but you'd certainly hope your quarterback isn't walking

244
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: off the field going well, that was pretty embarrassing.

245
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 8: Well, I supposely when they were called out ahead time

246
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 8: with them saying, you know, I don't know if they

247
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 8: can practice like we practice, and then you sort of

248
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 8: have that performance there, and I know a lot of

249
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 8: folks are looking at some of the reading some of

250
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 8: the tea leaves with the Dolphins and saying, oh, this

251
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 8: feels like a team that's like on the break and

252
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 8: can kind of go either way. And you've got the

253
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 8: Tyreek Hill to a situation at the start of camp

254
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 8: where to a saying he's got to work his way

255
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 8: back into our good graces, basically after how he ended

256
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 8: last season. There's a lot of stuff in play, including

257
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 8: those injuries that you're talking about, and then these joint

258
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 8: practices have not gone well for them. So you hate

259
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 8: to make mountains out of mole hills duty, but when

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 8: there's so many of them, you can sort of stack

261
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 8: them on top of each other, and all of a

262
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 8: sudden it is a big hill.

263
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: Well, I think the concerning thing for the Dolphins is

264
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 4: that this off season was supposed to be about sort

265
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 4: of shedding that finesse label. They wanted to become a

266
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: more physical, a tougher team, and then when they're going

267
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: against a team that is very physical, very tough, and

268
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: they just get overpowered on both sides of the ball.

269
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 4: According to all accounts, that's obviously very concerning. This is

270
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: a litmus test for a team like the Miami Dolphins.

271
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 4: They did not pass the test today. They got a

272
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 4: few weeks to try to fix it. They can only

273
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: do so many fixes, though you can't overhaul the roster.

274
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: This is what they got, So certainly this is a

275
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 4: concerning development for a team that was trying to change

276
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: their style of play this season.

277
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: Some other news around the NFL. We're going to see

278
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams for the first time in the Ben Johnson era.

279
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: Johnson officially announcing earlier today that Caleb Williams is going

280
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: to get the start on Sunday against the Bills. They

281
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: are going to play their guys across the board in

282
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: this game. We'll see what Buffalo puts on the field,

283
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: Mike here, But to the extent that people have wondered

284
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: and read tweets about Caleb so far in training camp,

285
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: now we'll get the first look of him at least

286
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: operating that Johnson offense. Yep, as news Justin Jefferson, all right, Mike,

287
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: go ahead, Yeah, I'm bat at it.

288
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, Kevin O'Connell's saying, Justin Jefferson's hamishing printssing.

289
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 9: Not quite ready to make a full return to action.

290
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 8: Obviously, when you get a veteran receiver like this who

291
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 8: doesn't need a lot of work at this point, you

292
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 8: want to be extra careful with this, especially because you're

293
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 8: expecting or not expecting, you are going to start the

294
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 8: season without Jordan Adison, so you really don't want to

295
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 8: be without your one and your two going into a

296
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 8: season where You've.

297
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 9: Got a quarterback who didn't play at all during his

298
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 9: rookie season.

299
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 8: So this is definitely one that you want to be

300
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 8: ultra ultra careful with, and that is what the Bikings

301
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 8: are doing right now with Justin Jefferson.

302
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: The Pittsburgh Steelers broke camp in Latrope yesterday. They spent

303
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: a lot of time in Latrobe trying to figure out

304
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 4: what their offense was going to look like. Rogers spent

305
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: a lot of time with Arthur Smith, trying to learn

306
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: the offense, trying to learn his new teammates. It was

307
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: a little bit rough going in those first few days.

308
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 4: He praised Smith for not being rigid in his offensive ideas.

309
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 4: But coming out of Latrope, Aaron Rodgers feels a little

310
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: bit better about things here.

311
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 11: He is, well, I think I'm playing a little bit better,

312
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 11: you know, I feel comfortable in the offense, and DK

313
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 11: and I have been get on the same page a

314
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 11: little more frequently, which which helps. But you know, we've

315
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 11: had we've had some injuries. Obviously, Calvin's been out for

316
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 11: a while, so we'd love to get him back, but

317
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 11: gives opportunities for other guys. You know, I think I

318
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 11: think Scott. He's done a really nice job, made a

319
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 11: lot of plays for us. I think Roman's starting to,

320
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 11: you know, feel confident in what he's doing. I'd love

321
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 11: the tight ends. I think he getting a lot of

322
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 11: production out of those guys. Again with John out. One

323
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 11: guy I'd love to single out is Is Connor. I mean,

324
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 11: Connor does the right thing every time. He's a really

325
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 11: smart football player, and the smartest players are the best players.

326
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 11: So he's the kind of guy I feel real confident

327
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 11: that he can put him in there at any time

328
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 11: and and know he's going to be on the same page.

329
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: A lot of weapons showed out right there by Aaron Rodgers.

330
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: One weapon who's still looking for a new home Odell

331
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. There was some weird social media stuff and

332
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: fake accounts in the past few days saying Odell is

333
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: retiring from what I am told, he has no plans

334
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: to retire. He's training. There's several teams that are interested

335
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: in Odell. He is still planning to play somewhere in

336
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Odell pally like that tweet, responding to

337
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: me earlier today and said, finally real news. Much love

338
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: right back at you, Odell.

339
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Insiders, presented by soft Folk. The

340
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 4: Giants and Jets have been having joint practices this week,

341
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: which means a reunion between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields

342
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: together in Pittsburgh and together kind of again in New York.

343
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 4: They caught up at the joint practice today at the

344
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: Giants facility, and guess who else was there? Are Brian Baldinger.

345
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 4: Baldy joins us, as does Bucky Brooks. Let's talk about

346
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: the joint practices.

347
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Guys.

348
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: All right, Baldy, you were there today at the Giants facility.

349
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 7: What were your impressions.

350
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: It was a good scrimmage, you know, really no fistic

351
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: cuffs or you fights or anything broke out. They had

352
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 5: a quick whistle going all day, but it was really

353
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 5: crisp work both sides. I spent most of the day

354
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 5: on the Giants sideline watching their defense, just because you

355
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 5: have to watch up dual Carter. He just makes you

356
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 5: watch because he's so electric. But then when you combine them,

357
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 5: you watch him right here, just turn the corner, just

358
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 5: an electric takeoff. But just the way that they use

359
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 5: him right now, they're using them everywhere. I asked him

360
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 5: if it's actually a joker role, he said. It's not

361
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: really joker, but it's like that. He's so he's off

362
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 5: the ball. Inside he's lining up over the guards the

363
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 5: center with Cavon Thibodeaux and Brian Burn's opposite sides and

364
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: Dexter Lawrence inside. It's it's really you know, it's it's

365
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 5: a great group and they work really, really hard. They

366
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: got a lot of reps. The number one defense for

367
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 5: the Giants took a lot of snaps out there today

368
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 5: and then you know, everything finished with a two minute drill.

369
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 5: Both offenses, starting offenses got the ball with about a

370
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 5: minute to go to try and drive down the field.

371
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 5: And you know, honestly, I thought the Giants defense won

372
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 5: the drill. But you know, when you watch justin fields

373
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 5: right now, you just get the feel. Okay, you've got

374
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 5: Garrett Wilson, he's proven, Mason Taylor's coming back through an injury,

375
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 5: alan Zar is banged up.

376
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 6: You just feel like they need another receiver.

377
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 5: I mean, they hit the tight end back a couple

378
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 5: times on this opening drive, which was nice, and Justin

379
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 5: finished off the opening drive, you know, with this thirteen

380
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 5: yard touchdown run and he did a couple that couple

381
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 5: of those today, I feel like they need a little

382
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 5: bit more firepower in the passing game right now. And

383
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 5: so it wasn't a great day for the passing game,

384
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 5: but the offensive line got a lot of good work

385
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 5: against a very talented defensive front, so I thought from

386
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 5: that standpoint, it was pretty good out there, Judy.

387
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: Now, Aaron Glenn, the Jets coach, has been consistent saying

388
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 4: they love where Justin Fields is right now, but I

389
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 4: have a feeling he will not be the only quarterback

390
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 4: who feels the.

391
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 7: Wrath of that Giant's pass rush.

392
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 4: Every time we have been out at Giants practice so

393
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: far in this training camp, they have been wrecking things

394
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: all right, Bucky Jackson Dart had a pretty good debut

395
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 4: last week.

396
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 7: What would you like to see from him in week two?

397
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 3: Look, man, I want to say, team to see him progress.

398
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 12: Very impressive debut performance, and it's easy to envision and

399
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 12: see why Joe Shane and Brian dave Ball like Jackson

400
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 12: Dart as their choice to be their franchise quarterback. When

401
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 12: I look at Jackson dark in that performance last week,

402
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 12: I saw what Brian.

403
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: Dave Ball sees and that's a Josh Allen Jr. Type.

404
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 12: I'm not saying that he's going to eventually be the

405
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 12: MVP of the league, but I can see Brian dave

406
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 12: Ball digging in twists his old playbooks and utilizing some

407
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 12: of the things that made Josh Allen pop when he

408
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 12: was the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. Quick rhythm passes,

409
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 12: deep shots on occasion, design quarterback runs, and some impromptu

410
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 12: plays that allows him to play the kind of ball

411
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 12: control offense that he wants to play to compliment that

412
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 12: defense that Baldy is talking about. And I think everyone

413
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 12: has forgotten because the last two years have been a

414
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 12: drastic fall off for the Giants, But that first year

415
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 12: in New York, Brian day Ball got this team to

416
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 12: the playoffs, playing very conservatively on offense with the defense

417
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 12: leading the way. In my mind, I can see Jackson

418
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 12: Dohrt eventually being QB one and this team utilizing a

419
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 12: similar blueprint and game plan to have a lot of

420
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 12: success in the league.

421
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: The word people around the Giants use is very encouraged

422
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: by Jackson Dart, Baldy marquee, thank you, We'll talk to

423
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 4: you later and when we return. Shador Sanders had a

424
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 4: very interesting arrival for his very first NFO game. We

425
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 4: are going to hear more about that when we return

426
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 4: on the Insiders presented by Softball.

427
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 8: We are now much plus since Naji Arris suffered what

428
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 8: his agent termed a superficial injury to his eye after

429
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 8: a fireworks accident. That clearly was not the right word

430
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 8: to use, because he is still out of action though,

431
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 8: as you can see from our Bridget continent was at

432
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 8: Chargers today, he continues his ramp up. It was walking

433
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 8: at first, now it is running with a weighted vest

434
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 8: On Bridget Condon now joining us.

435
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 9: Bridget I was there.

436
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 8: I was talking to folks Marion Hampton, a guy that

437
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 8: they're very excited about as part of this backfield. We'll

438
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 8: see about Najie Harris's status for week one, but even

439
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 8: if he's not there, they're going to split the workload.

440
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 9: That's what Greg Roman said the other day. Your take

441
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 9: on the entire Chargers.

442
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 13: Backfield right now, Mike, it's good news that Naji Harris

443
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 13: was out there today for the second day in a row,

444
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 13: doing more than, as you mentioned, just walking. He was

445
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 13: running again today and he was doing more than we've

446
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 13: seen him do and running, I'm told, faster than we've

447
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 13: seen him run at all this training camp since he

448
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 13: got injured back on July fourth. He was doing a

449
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 13: lot of agiliity work. He was pushing a sled at

450
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 13: one point, and then after I would say he probably

451
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 13: worked out for about an hour of practice, and then

452
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 13: when he was done, he walked over to the practice

453
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 13: field where the team was and stayed there with a

454
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 13: weighted vest on in a football in hand. So, look,

455
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 13: we know that Naji Harris is a big part of

456
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 13: what Jim Harbaugh and this Chargers team wants to do.

457
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 7: They want to run the ball. They love Amarion.

458
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 13: Hampton and what they've seen so far from the rookie,

459
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 13: but being able to have Harris, that veteran, is going

460
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 13: to be a big deal for this team. Jim Harbaugh

461
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 13: was asked would he be available for Week one? There

462
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 13: is a chance that we could see him available week one,

463
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 13: but Naji Harris the biggest thing for him in his career,

464
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 13: He's been available and he's been reliable. He has never

465
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 13: missed a game like in his entire career and has

466
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 13: the most touches of anyone since he was drafted in

467
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 13: twenty twenty one, so they are hopeful that he'll be

468
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 13: back on the field to help this run game sooner

469
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 13: rather than later.

470
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 8: Harris had those sunglasses on when he was out there

471
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 8: when he was not doing any work now with the

472
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 8: buyser or on his helmet, but you can see in

473
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 8: some of the pictures there's definitely an affected eye right

474
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 8: there that he has not shown the media or the

475
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 8: public to this point. Joe Alt's going to be blocking

476
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 8: for somebody carrying the football in that backfield. He was

477
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 8: scheduled to be their right tacklever Sean Slater goes down.

478
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 9: Now all moving to the left side.

479
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 8: I've heard some guys say, you think it's a simple move,

480
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 8: but you're changing up footwork, you're moving to the other side.

481
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 9: Is all dealing with that change from the right to

482
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 9: the left?

483
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, injuring interesting you say that. I just talked with

484
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 13: him after practice and I asked him that very question.

485
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 13: How different is it going from the right and to

486
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 13: the left, And he said, with most guys, when you

487
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 13: make a switch from right to left or left to right,

488
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 13: it is very challenging. But because he played remember in college,

489
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 13: he played on the left side, he said, it's pretty

490
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 13: much easier for him because he's so used to playing

491
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 13: on the left side. He also played Week eighteen last

492
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 13: season on the left and had a good performance for

493
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 13: this Chargers team. But look, this is a team that

494
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 13: is already dealing with injury. They were supposed to have

495
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 13: a joint practice today with the Rams and had to

496
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 13: cancel that because Jim Harbass says they're already banged up

497
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 13: to that offensive line. Mackai Beckton, of course, also has

498
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 13: not practiced in more than two weeks.

499
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 7: So Joe Alt says the biggest.

500
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 13: Thing right now is just stacking practices with the offensive

501
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 13: live that they have right now and continuing to get

502
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 13: comfortable with Justin on the left side. He said, you know,

503
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 13: there's a little different on the right as to where

504
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 13: Justin Herbert is. He wants to get comfortable with where

505
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 13: he is and be able to communicate quicker on the

506
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 13: field from that left side.

507
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 7: But he feels confident.

508
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 13: And I just asked Khalil Mack what he's seen from

509
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 13: Joe Halt now stepping into this new role, and he

510
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 13: said he's confident. But one thing that he loves about

511
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 13: this guy now in year two is he's not afraid

512
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 13: to ask questions Mike. He says, sometimes these tackles is

513
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 13: a competition in training camp. You're going against each other

514
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 13: and maybe you don't want to ask, but he said,

515
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 13: Joe alt he's humble and he'll ask Khalil Mack anything

516
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 13: he wants to get better. That's the kind of player

517
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 13: that you're going to see on the left side this season.

518
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 8: That was fascinating what we call b roll right there.

519
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 8: Joe Alton Alpha commanded that uddle. He's got dudes pouring

520
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 8: water into his mouth for he's like slapping dudes.

521
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 9: He's running.

522
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 8: That's what you'll want from your left Tacklet you thank

523
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 8: you very much as he is.

524
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 9: Tom Pellisero football guy too. Tom take the wheel.

525
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: Time now for well rested Wins, presented by Santfa, Brian

526
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: Baldinger and Bucky Brooks back with us Baldi. A couple

527
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: of days away from preseason week two. In your mind,

528
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: who needs a well rested win this weekend?

529
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 5: Caleb Caleb Williams does I thought you should have played

530
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 5: last week.

531
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 6: We saw a lot of starters around the league get time.

532
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 6: This is a new offense.

533
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 5: I talked to Caleb last week at Hallishall Tom and

534
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 5: it's a worthy offense. There's a lot of language, a

535
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 5: lot that goes into the play calls. It's one thing

536
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 5: to do without out of practice, another thing to do

537
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 5: it in a game situation. He saw Tyson Bagent take

538
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 5: his Bears down sixteen plays, ninety four yards finish with

539
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 5: a touchdown pass. That's what they need to see from

540
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 5: Caleb this weekend. They're going to have a new offense

541
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 5: line in front of them, presumably a much better protection

542
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 5: than what he saw a year ago, and he'll have

543
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 5: his compliment of receivers out there. This is you know,

544
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 5: this has to go well. I would think that, you know,

545
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 5: there's a lot that goes into this. They need success

546
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 5: right now because this is a new way of doing things.

547
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson throughout this time has been very, very tough

548
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 5: on the players in practice. They need this to pay

549
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 5: off this weekend.

550
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, Baldy, you talk about Katy Williams needing to pay

551
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 12: it off. How about the Cleveland Browns entire quarterback room

552
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 12: needs to play well and play great so we can

553
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 12: see who's going to ultimately be QB one, two and

554
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 12: three for this team. Look, it's assume and by good measures,

555
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 12: Joe Flacco is going to be the starting quarterback for

556
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 12: the Browns. Kenny Pickett injury has opened the door and

557
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 12: made it pretty hard for Kevin Stefanski to move off

558
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 12: that point. But the other three quarterbacks have to figure

559
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 12: out what the pecking order is going to be.

560
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: Shadur Sanders injury might complicate that.

561
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 12: So now you have Kinny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel, two

562
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 12: guys who didn't play, and you have Shadur Sanders week

563
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 12: one performance in the books.

564
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: To me, Kenny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel, they need to

565
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: show improved.

566
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 12: They need to impress because I worry about them falling

567
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 12: behind in the race. Joe Flacco's the number one, but

568
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 12: who's two and three? We need to figure it out

569
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 12: this weekend.

570
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: He should really use some well rested soft tissue based

571
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: upon what's been going on so far for the Browns

572
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: in that quarterback room, Bucky Baldy stick around more from

573
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: you guys in just a little bit. Speaking of the

574
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: Browns quarterback groom, Shador Sanders, before an impressive performance in Carolina,

575
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: also had a memorable entrance not just because of him,

576
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: but because of the man next to him carrying Is

577
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: that a sickle? Now that's Tony Brown. We know that much.

578
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: He joined our cameraon Wolf Tony Year eight in the NFL.

579
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 14: But it was this weekend you went viral for your

580
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 14: entrance walking in with Shador Sanders with that bomboo bamboo

581
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 14: scepter with the boombox blasting the music and look, I

582
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 14: want to start you with this. I know you were

583
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 14: at practice today the Brown said that Shador's got this

584
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 14: oblique injury. I'm curious, have you talked with him? What

585
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 14: did you see from him coming off of that injury?

586
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 8: At this stage.

587
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 15: During practice, the offense and defense are on separate fields.

588
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 15: I spoke to him after practice in the locker room.

589
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 15: I didn't speak to him about an injury, you know.

590
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 15: I spoke to him about how the defense did, how

591
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 15: well the defense did. I ask him about how well

592
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 15: the offense did. With anything that occurs with his body

593
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 15: all a lot of training staff to handle that, and

594
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 15: we'll talk after, you know, about the best way to

595
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 15: go forward with his body and what's going on in

596
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 15: his body.

597
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 14: Absolutely, I can't wait to see y'all back out there

598
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 14: doing another entrance And speaking of that, I kept getting

599
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 14: text on game day about that. It's like who is

600
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 14: this guy who is holding the stick or the whatever

601
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 14: they called it. You called it a bamboo sceptor. Can

602
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 14: you tell us the origin story of how this came about?

603
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 15: Okay, So the story of the scepter begins with an

604
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 15: invite to Ghana for my teammate Jeremiah's who Corromo.

605
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 9: It's camp that he has yearly in Ghana.

606
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 15: As we went there, it's not just a football camp,

607
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 15: and shout out to Jeremiah. Very honorable man, one of

608
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 15: the most honorable men that I've ever met, sportsman and

609
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 15: man in general off the field.

610
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: He took us.

611
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 15: We traversed through Ghana and traveled visited the king in

612
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 15: the Western region where this picture was taken, and visited

613
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 15: the Cape Coast, a very historically relevant dungeon as it

614
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 15: relates to the Transalytic slave trade. So as I'm going

615
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 15: through this tour in this dungeon castle, learning about how

616
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 15: the slaves were held, learning about the death dungeon, he

617
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 15: explained to me, Hey, Tony, you can try to qualm

618
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 15: your emotions by speaking with the ancestors, like trying to

619
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 15: have a conversation with them. As we're walking through these dungeons.

620
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 15: This dungeon and castle. He picked up some rocks and

621
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 15: dust off the ground and put it in my hand.

622
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 15: It's a bit of a culture shock, being that I'm

623
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 15: from Texas. And as we traversed the last thirty minutes

624
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 15: of the tour, I ended up just having just saying

625
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 15: these words and dialogue. If you're their ancestors, I would

626
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 15: ask that you grant me the wisdom, the guidance, and

627
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 15: the strength in order to transmute his anger, which is

628
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 15: just an energy that I felt in my chest into

629
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 15: something that I could use to be functional that I

630
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 15: can make you proud. So I asked for wisdom, guidance,

631
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 15: and strength. So as we left out of the Dungeon Castle.

632
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 15: It is along the shores of the Cape Coast, I

633
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 15: walked out into the water to kind of clear my mind.

634
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 15: As I walked into the water the shores of the

635
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 15: water the staff center, it washed the short of my

636
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 15: feet and initially when I picked it up and hit

637
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 15: my ankles. I picked it up, I was like, yo,

638
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 15: I looked at it, you know, I'm looking at it.

639
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 15: I'm like, yo, this is a pretty cool. It's a

640
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 15: pretty cool thing to just wash them to my feet

641
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 15: and Jeremiah was maybe ten fifteen feet behind me and

642
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 15: say cool was also so they also visually saw this

643
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 15: happen and I turned around like I just caught a fish,

644
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 15: you know, like a little fish, and they look at

645
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 15: me like in.

646
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: Like a like a kind of like an awe a

647
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: little bit.

648
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 15: As I walked towards Sakhu and Jeremiah, and we're also

649
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 15: traveling with chieftains and chiefs with us from Gunnan chiefs,

650
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 15: we all impart the wisdom on what this means in

651
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 15: their tribe, and every person that imparted the wisdom kind

652
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 15: of like helped me understand the meaning behind attaining this in.

653
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: A way that I did well. Tony.

654
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 14: First of all, thank you for that powerful description. I

655
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 14: can feel your emotion. And as you go through the

656
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 14: rest of the preseason and the season, will this continue to.

657
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: Be a ritual for you? Correct?

658
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 15: I carry this with pride and with honor as it

659
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 15: connects me to something greater than myself. I continue to

660
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 15: walk with this to empower others and I want people

661
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 15: to rise right with me. That's what that's the term

662
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 15: apex is for at the top. So like, I definitely

663
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 15: will continue to empower others with my word, and you know,

664
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 15: help people shine light by being my authentic self by

665
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 15: carrying the staff here.

666
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 14: Sir, absolutely well, we will know next time we see

667
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 14: you that that is a bamboo scepter that has much

668
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 14: more power than any of us could ever imagine. Great

669
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 14: preseason debut for you, a few tackles in the past, breakup,

670
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 14: and eager to see you throughout the rest of the season,

671
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 14: Tony Bless, Thank you.

672
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Insiders presented by SAFA. The NFL

00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 4: to catch some of the biggest names during Week two

677
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 4: of NFL preseason live on NFL Network. Blackout restrictions apply.

Speaker 4: Also streaming with NFL Plus. Subscription is required for NFL

679
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: Plus and one of the players you could see this

680
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 4: weekend Travis Hunter of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He played on

681
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 4: both offense and defense in Week one of the preseason.

682
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 7: The Jaguars face.

683
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: The New Orleans Saints this week, so we will see

684
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: what his schedule looks like.

685
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 7: He is one of the most.

686
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 4: Interesting players in the NFL going into the season, no

687
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: question about it. Let's welcome in our Bucky Brooks and

688
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 4: Brian Baldinger to look at this Jaguars Saints game. Bucky,

689
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 4: I want to start with you, since you know the

690
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 4: Jaguars better than anybody.

691
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 7: What is the plan for Travis Hunter in week two?

692
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: It's very similar to what you saw in Week one.

693
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 12: Travis Hunter is going to be a two way standout

694
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 12: for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The goal going into week one

695
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 12: was to get ten plays on offense ten plays on defense.

696
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 12: Didn't quite get that in, but what they would like

697
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 12: to see eventually is a guy that starts at wide

698
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 12: receiver and then plays a key role on defense as

699
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 12: they get off the field specialist. Think about third down,

700
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 12: red zone, two minute drills, end of game, whenever it's

701
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 12: a critical situation. Having Travis Hunter available to play defense

702
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 12: because they play a little more zone defense. It is

703
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 12: a very doable deal. But they want to take advantage

704
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 12: of his explosiveness on offense and his ball skills on

705
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 12: defense to see if they can maximize this play making talents.

706
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: They help this team get to the next level.

707
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 4: All right, on the other side of the field, Baldy.

708
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: They have a quarterback competition in New Orleans. How do

709
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: you see that shaking out right now?

710
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 5: Well, in being around Kellen Moore a couple of weeks ago,

711
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 5: Judy for scrimmage twenty sixth play scrimmage a week before

712
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 5: the preseason games, you know they were really rotating the quarterbacks.

713
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 5: They want to make this competition. So Spencer Rattler started

714
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 5: last week with the starting offensive line against the Chargers.

715
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 5: Did not move the team very well, didn't really respond.

716
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 5: But you're seeing the touchdown throw from Tyler Shuck and

717
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 5: that was after he threw a pick six. So they

718
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 5: put Shuck in last week and the two minute drill,

719
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 5: he took the team down, they got a field goal,

720
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 5: came back to a pick six, but didn't hang his head,

721
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 5: came back and hit Mason Tipton on that fifty four

722
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 5: yard touchdown pass.

723
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 6: I believe that you'll see Tyler Shuck start against the Jaguars.

724
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 5: I think you'll see some of the receivers out there,

725
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 5: a lave Rasid Shaheed. I think you'll see some of

726
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 5: the speed at wide receiver. And I think they're going

727
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 5: to give him a good look this week. I don't

728
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 5: want to write off Jake Hayner, but honestly, Jake played

729
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 5: the last four minutes of the game. I believe it's

730
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 5: a two man race right now between Rattler and Shuck,

731
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 5: and I know Kellen Moore wants to get this wrapped up.

732
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 5: I would think that Tyler Shuck, if he played well

733
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 5: this week, might get that starting role to start the season.

734
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: Time now to go inside with NFL Fantasy Live and

735
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: our guy Michael f Floria with me Tom Pelicero as

736
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: well as Mike Gara. Full all right, draft season is

737
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: upon us. Michael F give me somebody who you think

738
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: is going to put up video game numbers in twenty

739
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: twenty five.

740
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 16: I told Mike to draft him last year. I'll tell

741
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 16: them to do it again this year. Jade and Daniels

742
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 16: because only Cam Newton scored more Fantasy points as a rookie.

743
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 3: Jayden last year.

744
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 16: Finished as the QB six, but we saw him get

745
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 16: better and better as the year go on.

746
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 3: He was the QB two in.

747
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 16: The Fantasy playoffs, and that was because the commanders let

748
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 16: him throw more down the stretch.

749
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: I expect that to be the case again.

750
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 16: They added Larry Tunsel so better protection Deebo Samuel. There more,

751
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 16: just more ways for Jayden to win with the Yak

752
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 16: option there now as well, So draft Jadan Daniels.

753
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 3: I think he's going off this.

754
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 8: Year, all right, but we got to get more in

755
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 8: the quarterback. So tell us about the running back position.

756
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 8: I used to do the juke move and Madden just

757
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 8: that was I don't know if it works anymore, and

758
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 8: played madd in a while.

759
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 9: Who's duke in this year?

760
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 16: It still works and Devon hen is going to be

761
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 16: juking plenty of people out of their shoes because look

762
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 16: last year when Tua played, he averaged nearly twenty three

763
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 16: Fantasy points per game. That was more than Saquon Jamior Gibbs,

764
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 16: and he had more Fantasy points than any running back

765
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 16: in the receiving game. And that's after we saw him

766
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 16: average nearly eight yards per carry as a rookie. So

767
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 16: we know he could win in a number of different ways.

768
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 16: He dominates the goal line volume, he could have a

769
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 16: CMC type explosion and finishes the RB one. Yet he

770
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 16: is cheaper in drafts than last year. I also love

771
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 16: Chase Brown. I know it took him a bit to

772
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 16: get going last year, but once he took over the backfield,

773
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 16: he was an RB one weekly and from that point on,

774
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 16: his full year pace was sixteen hundred yards, fourteen touchdowns,

775
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 16: and sixty four catches. That would have equated to over

776
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 16: three hundred Fantasy points and made him the RB five.

777
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 16: And he has even less competition for touches on a

778
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 16: great offense. And if you watch the Bengals in the

779
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 16: preseason yet, they're gonna have to score plenty of points

780
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 16: because their defense is going to give up a bunch.

781
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 3: So I love me some Chase Brown in rounds.

782
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: Don't don't sleep on samaj p Ryan stealing some of

783
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: those short yarded attempts down there at the goal line.

784
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 1: All right wide receivers Floria who can't miss with video

785
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: game numbers, Malik neighbors look.

786
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 16: Last year he averaged eighteen Fantasy points per game. That

787
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 16: was the seventh most ever by a rookie wide receiver,

788
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 16: more than Chase and Jefferson, and he did so despite

789
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 16: being top ten in unrealized air yards and uncatchable target rate.

790
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 16: The QB play left a lot to be desired, especially

791
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 16: on the deep ball, and that is where I think

792
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 16: Malik gets cooking this year.

793
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: He is.

794
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 16: If you ask me who's going to lead the league

795
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 16: in receiving yards not named Jamar Chase, I think it

796
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 16: is Melik Neighbors, and he could be the wide receiver

797
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 16: one overall if touchdown variants goes his way, and then

798
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 16: I love AJ Brown. Look, the Eagles were the run

799
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 16: heaviest offense in years. That seems unlikely to happen again.

800
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 16: But despite that, AJ Brown was on a seventeen game

801
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 16: pace for fourteen hundred yards and nine touchdowns, which is

802
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 16: an average season for AJ Brown since he has become.

803
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: A Eagle elite talent.

804
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 16: I have him ranked as the wide receiver six, but

805
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 16: on most sites he's going closer to wide receiver twelve.

806
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 3: As a middle of round two pick, it.

807
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 16: Feels like a pick that you could take advantage of

808
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 16: and really win your league if he hits like he

809
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 16: does every year.

810
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 8: All these guys you're talking about, either their coaches or

811
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 8: their teammates have been talking them up. AJ Brown, Chase

812
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 8: Brown being talked about as a top ten running back.

813
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 8: And you mentioned somebody else too that was talked up

814
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 8: recently on leak Davers. Yeah, everybody's talking about leak davers here.

815
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 8: How about a tight end michae lef.

816
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 16: If you want video game numbers, you gotta go at

817
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 16: one of the early tight ends. And I think Trey

818
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 16: McBride is the play this year because last season he

819
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 16: finishes the tight end two just decimal points away from

820
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 16: being the tight end one, and he did so despite

821
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 16: having the highest red zone target share and the third

822
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 16: most end zone targets that only equated to two touchdowns.

823
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: In fact, he was the.

824
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 16: Third player in NFL history with one hundred and more

825
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 16: catches and fewer than three touchdowns. If positive touchdown regression hits,

826
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 16: which it should, he could be the runaway tight end one.

827
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 16: Give you wide receiver one like production. So I love

828
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 16: me some trade McBride in round three if I could

829
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 16: get that this year.

830
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: Fourial, great stuff. As always, I'm sure we'll have plenty

831
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: more questions for you, both on and off air in

832
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,799

855
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the same thing I said about Cliff Kingsbury. He

856
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: wasn't as good as Tom Brady. Not exactly a sick

857
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: burn right there, Almost any quarterback on the planet you

858
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: can say it is not quite as good as Tom Brady.

859
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Insider, presented by Sanfa, Tom Peliicero,

860
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: Judy Batista, and Mike Gara. Folo, Mike, this is an

861
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: interesting thing. You're getting used to the Mike Vrabel at

862
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: the podium. There's a lot of Belichickian similarities here. But

863
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you would have gotten quite that

864
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: same joke out a Bill Uh.

865
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 8: Now, well, it's a little bit dry like it's it's

866
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 8: sort of like Bill plus it's dry, it's funny, it's

867
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 8: maybe the building would have.

868
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 9: Seen behind closed doors.

869
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 8: At least you've seen a little bit at his press conferences, Jude.

870
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 4: I like that he spars with reporters and asks reporters

871
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,479
Speaker 4: if they are answering their own question.

872
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 7: He did that with I don't know.

873
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 4: Who the reporter was today, but the other day asked

874
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 4: a question, then started to answer it, and he said,

875
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 4: are you answering your own question?

876
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 7: Yikes? I don't want to be in that position.

877
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: You don't have to if you have a little bit

878
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: of advice for young reporters. You don't need to give

879
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: multiple choice questions to people this one. This just make

880
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: a statement, ask the question.

881
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 9: Move on.

882
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: It's wisdom like that and got all of us in
