Speaker 1: NFL Inside Report is the production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio. I'm Rertt Lewis and this
Speaker 1: is NFL Inside Report. Today. We're kicking off a series
Speaker 1: we're calling Roster Reset, and over the next two weeks
Speaker 1: we'll cover all thirty two teams and look at out
Speaker 1: their off season moves will translate to the upcoming season.
Speaker 1: This week it is NFC Weed. They will cover the
Speaker 1: NFC North and NFC South squads. Tomorrow we'll talk about
Speaker 1: moves made by the NFC West and NFC East teams.
Speaker 1: Next week we'll sort through all sixteen teams in the
Speaker 1: a f C. And with us today to help us
Speaker 1: make sense of the NFC North and South is Steve
Speaker 1: Whitch and NFL dot Com writer Kevin Patro. Before we
Speaker 1: get started, though, let's look at some of the biggest
Speaker 1: offseason moves in the division. The Green a Packers primed
Speaker 1: to take the North again following their third straight division title.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is back, but he'll be without his top target,
Speaker 1: to Vante Adams, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 1: The top ten defense returns to its stars with linebacker
Speaker 1: Devondre Campbell and pass rusher Preston Smith, both signing lucrative
Speaker 1: contract extensions. It's a new era in Minnesota under new
Speaker 1: GM quasy A Dolpha Mensa and new head coach Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 1: Kark cousins back on a one year deal and hopes
Speaker 1: that the Vikings can get back to the playoffs for
Speaker 1: the first time since adopo Mensa's work to improve the
Speaker 1: defense this offseason, signing former Packers pass rushers that Darius Smith,
Speaker 1: former Bills d tackle Harrison Phillips, and resigning corner Patrick Peterson.
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears also seeing regime change. New GM Ryan
Speaker 1: Poles and new head coach Matt eber Flues take over
Speaker 1: a team that went six and eleven last season. Also
Speaker 1: gone veterans Khalil Mack, who was traded to the Chargers,
Speaker 1: linebacker Danny Trevathan, and defensive tackle Eddie Goldman. Running Back
Speaker 1: Terek Cohen also on the way out on offense, the
Speaker 1: Bears signing quarterback Trevor Simeon to back up Justin Fields,
Speaker 1: and the Bears one of eight teams without a first
Speaker 1: round pick in this year's draft, as the order currently
Speaker 1: stands A three thirteen and one record calls for a
Speaker 1: lot of improvement in Detroit. Offensively, Lions quarterback Jared Golf
Speaker 1: will have plenty of weapons now at wide receiver, with
Speaker 1: d J. Chark added to a group that includes resigned
Speaker 1: pass catchers Josh Reynolds and Calif Raymond, as well as
Speaker 1: last year's fourth round pick a monra st Brown linebacker
Speaker 1: Jared Davis and dB Mike Hughes among the signings to
Speaker 1: add some depth defensively, and g M Brad Holmes facing
Speaker 1: the pressure of hitting on two first round picks in
Speaker 1: this year's draft at number two and thirty two overall.
Speaker 1: All right, Steve Kevin, let's start year with a look,
Speaker 1: kind of a global look at the NFC North, which
Speaker 1: has been run by the Green Bay Packers the last
Speaker 1: few years since Matt Lafleur has come on as the
Speaker 1: head coach. Steve, starting with you here for anybody who
Speaker 1: can step up to the plate here in the NFC
Speaker 1: North and knock off the Green Bay Packers considering the
Speaker 1: moves that we've seen now, the comings and the goings
Speaker 1: in this division. Yeah, I think the most of Vikings can,
Speaker 1: I mean, and this is where you know, look at
Speaker 1: you look at all the close games that the Vikings lost,
Speaker 1: you know over the past couple years, all these three
Speaker 1: point games in last possession games, So they were close, right,
Speaker 1: So now they come up with Kevin O'Connell, they figure
Speaker 1: they're can open up this offense a little bit. They're
Speaker 1: gonna go a lot more eleven personnel. Dalvin Cooke is
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, if he stays healthy. You know,
Speaker 1: we know they're a different team with Dalvin Cook and
Speaker 1: you know, you look defensively, they added, said Arias Smith,
Speaker 1: him and Danielle Hunter can be healthy, they're gonna cause problems.
Speaker 1: So I think Minnesota is the one team in the
Speaker 1: division that right now is right to give the Packers
Speaker 1: a challenge. That's think there's no question about that, especially
Speaker 1: considering the state of the other two teams in the division.
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna pick when you're definitely picking the Vikings.
Speaker 1: But I do like what they did in in uh
Speaker 1: upgrading a defense that just couldn't get stops down the end.
Speaker 1: We saw that when they almost lost the lines and
Speaker 1: they did lose to the Lions, couldn't get stops at
Speaker 1: the end. I think adding serious Smith is underrated, not
Speaker 1: only because of what he brings off the edge, but
Speaker 1: his versatility along the line, like you can line him
Speaker 1: up next to the Neil Hunter and please try to
Speaker 1: block that go ahead offense UM and you know Jordan
Speaker 1: Hicks can clean up in the middle. UM. They do
Speaker 1: have questions on the back end Pat Pete coming back.
Speaker 1: I think it's a solid start. I think we need
Speaker 1: to see what they do in the draft to add
Speaker 1: to that secondary. But I think the offense, there's little
Speaker 1: question about it. I think the offensive line is gonna
Speaker 1: get better, and like we said, they have a ton
Speaker 1: of weapons. Mr Jefferson, justin Jefferson, I'm sorry. Uh and
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling are too of the top receiver are going
Speaker 1: to be the most dynamic receiver duo in the league
Speaker 1: this year, I think, in my opinion, and I think
Speaker 1: they can overcome any shortcomings that you have with Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins and the questions. We've seen other guys go deep
Speaker 1: into the playoffs with maybe not the star quarterback. I
Speaker 1: think Kirk Cousins is that second tier sort of guy
Speaker 1: that can get there and guys, to me, it feels
Speaker 1: like and uh, and you'll love you get your thought
Speaker 1: here that the Aaron Rodgers coming back was certainly, you know,
Speaker 1: the biggest piece of the off season for the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, but the shock that followed with Davante Adams
Speaker 1: on the exit and until I see the succession plan,
Speaker 1: if you will, or the replacement plan at wide receiver,
Speaker 1: Like to me, it feels like, whoa, why do we
Speaker 1: do one without the other here? And maybe there is
Speaker 1: a plan there to figure out a way to get
Speaker 1: better at wide receiver in the draft, and we'll get
Speaker 1: to that in a second, but to me, it feels
Speaker 1: like without you know, Davante Adams, I mean, is the
Speaker 1: championship window closing a lot faster here on Rogers's run
Speaker 1: Steve with the Packers. It's interesting because some people will
Speaker 1: look at, you know, Matt Lafleur's offense, you know, which
Speaker 1: is Shaun Evey's offense, Skyle Shanahan's offense, Mike jane Hand's offense,
Speaker 1: say they can win without that standout receiver. Okay, and
Speaker 1: we know they've got two really good running backs, but
Speaker 1: that is not the identity of Aaron Rodgers. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna turn it off or turn around and hand the
Speaker 1: ball off thirty five times a game. Or throw thirty
Speaker 1: five swinging passes. He's someone who's got to be able
Speaker 1: to scramble create kind of have that adjunct option. Um
Speaker 1: when he's throwing the ball and I don't see you know,
Speaker 1: Davantae Adams withdraw double coverages. Now teams can defend this
Speaker 1: team completely differently and to the point where team can
Speaker 1: stack the box. Say Aaron Rodgers beat us. Um. So
Speaker 1: unless they've got some other plan, which is why, you know,
Speaker 1: I thought that'd be on a DeVante Parker. Um. You
Speaker 1: know who just got traded to the Patriots. Maybe they
Speaker 1: were and they they Yeah, So you know, I think
Speaker 1: they're still gonna be in the wide receiver market. Um
Speaker 1: to see what happens. You know, maybe the Julio Jones,
Speaker 1: who knows, But um, I think you know, drafting receiver
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has a trust issue, right, so a guy
Speaker 1: coming out of the gate. That's another part of the problem.
Speaker 1: So they're still gonna be a good football team. They're
Speaker 1: a good defensive football team, right they take them all away,
Speaker 1: they do some things to get the ball back to Rogers.
Speaker 1: But in terms of competing with some of the other
Speaker 1: big boys, I do think that window is closing. An
Speaker 1: interesting thing with the Davante Adams deal was that that
Speaker 1: that kind of cast skating effect on the Packers. I
Speaker 1: think they were gonna get Velda's scandling back and that
Speaker 1: was their plan, but then Tyreek Hill wantsed a raise,
Speaker 1: so they get up over the top and that's a chain.
Speaker 1: I think they thought, Okay, well we'll get MVS back
Speaker 1: and that's something, and then he got scooped up by
Speaker 1: by the Chiefs after the domino has happened. So I
Speaker 1: think that was part of their plan that just didn't
Speaker 1: work out. And another I think another thing with the receivers,
Speaker 1: we kind of overlook a Maria Rodgers is a third
Speaker 1: round pick. The Packers have this draft and we're gonna
Speaker 1: draft and develop, right, draft and developed, well, they draft
Speaker 1: to them. Now let's see if they can develop him
Speaker 1: as they have other guys in the past. I think
Speaker 1: he's I think he's a wild card in this whole
Speaker 1: scenario if the coaching staff believes that they can develop. Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of split this up here, and since
Speaker 1: we got two of you on here, I'm gonna Kevin,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the Packers and the Bears, and Steve,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the Vikings and the Lions, okay,
Speaker 1: And I want first to start with just a grade
Speaker 1: on the off seasons based on additions and subtractions, and
Speaker 1: then we'll get into draft priority using the same team
Speaker 1: assignments there. So Kevin, let me start with you, since
Speaker 1: we we've been kind of gearing this first part of
Speaker 1: the conversation on the Packers, how would you ultimately evaluate
Speaker 1: what we've seen offseason moves thus far. I mean I
Speaker 1: had them as a minus roster at the end of
Speaker 1: last year, and I would say they've dropped to at
Speaker 1: least to be maybe a B minus. I think Davante
Speaker 1: Adams is a huge part of that. I think he's
Speaker 1: a whole letter grade almost like that's the type of
Speaker 1: He's the best ride receiver in the in my opinion,
Speaker 1: that the number one ride receiver, and you lost him
Speaker 1: and you didn't replace him. So I think that's where
Speaker 1: you start. Um. But I think one underrated thing that
Speaker 1: I would give the Packers a boost for. I think
Speaker 1: Rich Pisaccia coming in as your special teams coordinator answers
Speaker 1: a huge question and I know that's not necessarily a
Speaker 1: roster part, but they were the worst special teams team
Speaker 1: in the league last year. He immediately boost that. So
Speaker 1: I think that's an underrated part of their off season,
Speaker 1: that they got a coach who we all believe in,
Speaker 1: in trust that he can make one of the three
Speaker 1: key elements of football into if not average, at least
Speaker 1: average may be better. And I think we got to
Speaker 1: give them some credit to for the re signings, right
Speaker 1: Preston Smith coming back over, you know, um and you know,
Speaker 1: on an extension of Andre Campbell, I think Jr. Alexander
Speaker 1: was ing on the pike here at some point. Did
Speaker 1: Andre Campbell one of the best, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: under the radar acquisitions of the entire season last year?
Speaker 1: It was such a key player for the Packers and
Speaker 1: now getting you know, his uh, his chance to cash
Speaker 1: in there in Green Bay. All right, Steve, let's move
Speaker 1: to the Vikings. Let's get her off season great there, yeah, look,
Speaker 1: let's go be right. Okay, So so you change leadership.
Speaker 1: First off, I'm starting there, right, Kevin O'Connell and uh
Speaker 1: at crazy the new GM we don't know about them, right,
Speaker 1: but the one thing you heard all last year is
Speaker 1: they need a breath of fresh air. You know, Mike
Speaker 1: Zimmer and you know Rick Spielman is kind of that
Speaker 1: whole leadership. So let's let's give them an atmospheric change here. Okay,
Speaker 1: Now they're going to go on the offensive head coach,
Speaker 1: and everyone will tell you Kevin O'Connell is the real deal.
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins loves Kirk Cousins was the biggest lobbyist, you
Speaker 1: know in the Senate hearings. That was the you know,
Speaker 1: the Vikings decision making to get Kevin O'Connell um in there.
Speaker 1: So now you've got an offensive head coach with Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins up there at Donna tells coming in defensively to
Speaker 1: run a thirty four offensive. They get to Darius Smith
Speaker 1: on a low key sign they made that's gonna be big.
Speaker 1: Is Jordan Hicks at linebacker? Al right, he comes over
Speaker 1: from Arizona. Great leader, right of veteran player, but a
Speaker 1: great leader. You lose Anthony Barr. That's a tough hit, okay,
Speaker 1: but you've got some other players there again, you got
Speaker 1: the guys up front. You got some issues in the
Speaker 1: second year. It's a grade wise I'm gonna say that
Speaker 1: they were about a b um, a B coming in,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe even a B minus. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: him a B plus just because I just think the
Speaker 1: whole atmosphere of change there, it's gonna be a positive
Speaker 1: move for that. All right, Kevin, back to you here
Speaker 1: with the Chicago Bears, what do you got? I mean,
Speaker 1: this was a C S C minus roster coming in,
Speaker 1: and I don't think they've done anything. But I kind
Speaker 1: of feel bad for Ryan Poles. He's in a bad
Speaker 1: spot and as the first time GM and so I
Speaker 1: got him dropping down to a C minus D plus area.
Speaker 1: They just haven't the whole goal of this offseason. Buffer
Speaker 1: justin fields, right, you got you finally got this guy
Speaker 1: we think can be a franchise quarterback. Buffer him, build
Speaker 1: up the old line, give him some receivers. They've done
Speaker 1: very minimal. They lost their best offensive lineman and James Daniels. Uh,
Speaker 1: they lost Allen Robinson, They traded Khalil Mack. You brought
Speaker 1: in Lucas Patrick. Okay, fine, you you missed out on
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates, a guard that you tried to sign away
Speaker 1: from Buffalo. Uh. The wide receivers. All they really added
Speaker 1: was Byron Pringle. They signed Equanimius st. Brown away from
Speaker 1: the Packers, and to tell you about that deal, Packers
Speaker 1: fans didn't even care. These are fan bases that wouldn't
Speaker 1: share the mustard for a hot They don't even care
Speaker 1: that they signed them away. So they haven't had any
Speaker 1: money to do anything, and they haven't done what we
Speaker 1: wanted them to do, which was put pieces around Justin
Speaker 1: Fields to make him thrive. I don't see other than
Speaker 1: Darneld Mooney where the offense is gonna move. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to be a run first, run always sort of
Speaker 1: game plan, and and then asked Justin Fields to make
Speaker 1: plays at the end, and no first round draft pick.
Speaker 1: That's brutal b if you if you go through the
Speaker 1: names of the guys that are still free agents for them,
Speaker 1: Alex Oldiltry, Danny Treate and Troron Gibson, Eddie Goldman, Scheam Hicks,
Speaker 1: Timmy Jimmy Graham, Jesse James, Jermaine and Fettie. These are
Speaker 1: guys we know. These are guys that they haven't got
Speaker 1: signed in the first or second or third wave of
Speaker 1: free agency that are going to have to wait until
Speaker 1: probably after the draft to get picked up. I mean,
Speaker 1: that just tells you the type of team they had
Speaker 1: last year, and then where are we going from there?
Speaker 1: And they don't have the money to resign a lot
Speaker 1: of guys. It's just kind of a fans in Chicago.
Speaker 1: I think our understanding this is going to be another
Speaker 1: holding pattern sort of year. Hopefully the new staff and
Speaker 1: you see Justin Fields develop from a progressing standpoint, going
Speaker 1: through his reads and all that sort of things, and
Speaker 1: then you build for the next year when they have
Speaker 1: a first round pick and they have some capital leaf. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a tough. It was tough off season to be
Speaker 1: a Bears fan um to see so much go and
Speaker 1: very little come back in return. Let's move to the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, who who didn't make some moves Again, they weren't,
Speaker 1: you know, huge spenders in free agency, but some kind
Speaker 1: of measured moves. Steve Whitch, what do you give them? Yeah, Look,
Speaker 1: getting DJ Shark, we know he wasn't great in Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: but do we know anything about Jacksonville's players in terms
Speaker 1: of development, because we just don't know what they were,
Speaker 1: So I think it would be able to pair him
Speaker 1: with him on st. Brown. They signed back Josh Reynolds,
Speaker 1: who's a very good special team is a nice two
Speaker 1: or three wide receiver. Yeah. So you know, I spoke
Speaker 1: to brat Home, to gm Um of the Lions at
Speaker 1: the league meetings, and he was like, look, we're at
Speaker 1: the point now where everyone loves the enthusiasm. They love
Speaker 1: the way we finished, they love the way we play hard.
Speaker 1: We gotta win. We have to win ballgames. So I
Speaker 1: think they're setting the plan in motion. We know they
Speaker 1: got the two first round draft picks. Um, they just
Speaker 1: have a ton of trade capital, I mean draft capital.
Speaker 1: We'll see, But I mean I think they've improved. I
Speaker 1: mean just because the culture there it is such It's
Speaker 1: been such a negative culture for so long. I've heard
Speaker 1: this from people from like Jim Caldwell, who's like the
Speaker 1: most positive human being ever. Like, boy, you talk about
Speaker 1: a culture change, that's that's the one of all time.
Speaker 1: And in Dan Campbell and that leadership group seems to
Speaker 1: have done it. So some of the moves they have
Speaker 1: been subtle. I like the fact that they're not swinging
Speaker 1: and missing because they know the roster still has a
Speaker 1: lot of holes right now. But they they've got a
Speaker 1: certain type of character that seems to be developed where
Speaker 1: I think they could be better. So, um, you know
Speaker 1: the Lions, I I think they're they're they're in that
Speaker 1: C category. It's still kind of a wait to see
Speaker 1: what I think they're in that C category. Steve gonna
Speaker 1: come right back to you with the draft prospects here
Speaker 1: for these teams in the NFC North. Here on the
Speaker 1: roster reset, Steve Kevin patra Red Louis here with you
Speaker 1: on NFL Inside Report. Let's take a quick look here
Speaker 1: at the Lions because they kind of book in the
Speaker 1: first round right two and thirty two. They have the
Speaker 1: highest draft pick in the NFC North. But for me,
Speaker 1: this is a really intriguing team to watch because I
Speaker 1: feel like that thirty two spot, if their guy is
Speaker 1: their quarterback, watch out. I think that's a real interesting
Speaker 1: spot for one fifth year option develop under Jared Gone
Speaker 1: and then number two, I mean, like go get them
Speaker 1: or the or the best. If the Jaguars take a tackle, right,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah? I mean, look, they're gonna
Speaker 1: get an age Dresher, I think right here, especially with
Speaker 1: the Jacks did and in free agency, they're probably gonna
Speaker 1: get eight and Hutchinson. Uh, you know out of Michigan,
Speaker 1: So take your pick, right. I mean, he had Penny
Speaker 1: Sewell last year. I one loves with Penny se Will
Speaker 1: developed into the way he progressed at offensive tack. So
Speaker 1: go get the edge rusher, develop that type of tough
Speaker 1: guy defense, keep getting better up front. So I think,
Speaker 1: you know edge and I love the thirty two quarterback pick,
Speaker 1: and he may be able to trade back into the
Speaker 1: early part of the second round, get a little more
Speaker 1: draft equity and and get your quarterback you know, right there.
Speaker 1: So I think that's that's a very very good situation.
Speaker 1: Some of these wide receivers might be there right there
Speaker 1: as well, or a corner if you want to do
Speaker 1: that there on that back end of the second round draft.
Speaker 1: So I think I think they're in. Uh, it's a
Speaker 1: real real sweet spot when it comes to the draft,
Speaker 1: no question. Um. Let's move then to the other team
Speaker 1: with multiple first round draft picks here. Of course, this
Speaker 1: was courtesy of the Davante Adams trade for the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers Kevin who picked up the extra first round picks.
Speaker 1: So now sitting at twenty two and overall, they have
Speaker 1: not drafted a wide receiver in the first round. Since
Speaker 1: Javon Walker back in two thousand two. So hey, Kevin,
Speaker 1: no better time than the twenty anniversary, right right? I
Speaker 1: mean remember Aaron Rodgers a couple of years ago talking
Speaker 1: about how he was getting drunk and waiting for them
Speaker 1: to pick a wide receiver and then they didn't. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine if they went through two wide receivers and
Speaker 1: or went to to two first round picks and they
Speaker 1: didn't take a wide receiver this year with the need hole,
Speaker 1: I have to believe that they've they promised him, and
Speaker 1: I would hope that that you know, they they've asked him,
Speaker 1: which guys they they've looked at, had him looked at?
Speaker 1: I mean, they can't come out of the first round
Speaker 1: without a wide receiver. I just can't imagine unless they
Speaker 1: do something between now and the draft. It's just such
Speaker 1: a glaring, glaring hole, and you've got a few guys
Speaker 1: in the middle of the round that I think they
Speaker 1: can plug it and play immediately. Like Steve mentioned before,
Speaker 1: there is a trust issue with Rogers. But if he's
Speaker 1: got no choice, if this is your guy, you got
Speaker 1: to build him like we invested in you, now, please
Speaker 1: invest back in. There are guys can't. And then I
Speaker 1: think the other the other thing is maybe an offensive
Speaker 1: lineman if one slips to the mid round or replenish
Speaker 1: the trenches. I think on the defensive side of the
Speaker 1: ball would be where you go with the other pick
Speaker 1: Vikings at number twelve, Man, it feels like defense to me, Steve,
Speaker 1: it's a slam dug. It's God, they gotta go corner.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's too many good guys are gonna
Speaker 1: be there. I mean Stingley could be there. I don't
Speaker 1: think Sauce Gardner makes it down. I don't even know Dave.
Speaker 1: They've got to get a corner there. At Don Tel's
Speaker 1: is a dB specialist. You know, as they kind of
Speaker 1: get through the draft, I think you've gotta get into
Speaker 1: They've got to, you know, refurbished that interior offensive line.
Speaker 1: They've been working on the tackles um and then another
Speaker 1: wide receiver. It's crazy, it sounds. I mean, you can't
Speaker 1: have enough of them for the system that they run.
Speaker 1: You know, again, look at how many the niners in
Speaker 1: the ramps turned through and they develop them all. So
Speaker 1: I think at some point mid rounds you get a
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but early on you you've got to you've
Speaker 1: got to hit corner, you hit the edge rushers. You've
Speaker 1: got to hit a corner who can get his hands
Speaker 1: on the ball make place. And Stingley is a guy
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, And from what I understand DJ was
Speaker 1: talking to us, UM, you know, one of the big
Speaker 1: reasons that they might have resigned a guy like Patrick
Speaker 1: Peterson was to give a support system to a guy
Speaker 1: like Derek Stingley. Where and where did they both go
Speaker 1: to school? There at DBU They're in bad Ridge. All right,
Speaker 1: let's finish up Kevin real quick. Look, no first round
Speaker 1: pick for the Bears. As we talked about there on
Speaker 1: the clock at thirty nine. In the second round, I mean,
Speaker 1: like just a thought there, what what might make the
Speaker 1: most sensors, most pressing need. I mean, the most pressing
Speaker 1: need wouldn't to me, would be another receiver. If we'll
Speaker 1: we'll see if one of those top guys falls. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's questions about the depth you can go one way
Speaker 1: or the other. So if one of the top guys falls,
Speaker 1: I think that's a no brainer to grab a wide
Speaker 1: receiver that spot. Um. But again, I think replenishing the
Speaker 1: old line. If there's somebody there that would be would
Speaker 1: be step number two. If there's none of your wide
Speaker 1: receivers are there, Yeah, I think you could possibly be
Speaker 1: in the Christian Watson category there. The sky More David
Speaker 1: Bell situation there, receiver in the second round, certainly something
Speaker 1: to think about. So that's a look at the NFC
Speaker 1: North as the rosters have been reset. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the NFC South and is it
Speaker 1: the Bucks division to lose once again? Alright, back here
Speaker 1: with you on NFL Inside Report with our roster reset
Speaker 1: series continuing. Steve White and Kevin Patrack with us on
Speaker 1: this episode, taking a look at the off season moves
Speaker 1: by NFC teams and how they're going to translate to
Speaker 1: the upcoming season. Last segment, we hit the NFC North.
Speaker 1: Now we go in depth on the NFC South. First up,
Speaker 1: some of the biggest moves each team is made. The
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers making some noise this offseason. Tom Brady retired.
Speaker 1: Then his unretirement came six weeks later. Some of his
Speaker 1: buddy he's also returning, like running back Leonard four Nette,
Speaker 1: receiver Chris Godwin, center Ryan Jensen, and dbat Carlton Davis
Speaker 1: and in receiver Russell Gage, who comes over from the
Speaker 1: division rival Atlanta Falcons, and corner Logan Ryan, a former
Speaker 1: teammate of Tom Brady in New England, and the Bucks
Speaker 1: should be solid again in two. The Saints of May
Speaker 1: moves to help new head coach Dennis Allen compete with
Speaker 1: the Bucks that resigned Jamis Winston to shore up the
Speaker 1: quarterback spot, while also bringing in Andy Dalton as a
Speaker 1: steady backup. New Orleans signed safety Marcus May to share
Speaker 1: up the back end of the defense that loses Malcolm
Speaker 1: Jenkins to retirement and Marcus Williams to the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 1: via free agency. Then there was the trade of draft
Speaker 1: picks with the Philadelphia Eagles that now give the Saints
Speaker 1: to first round draft picks in the swap at numbers
Speaker 1: sixteen and nineteen. Overall, a surprising turn of events unfolding
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, the Falcons failing to land to Shaun Watson,
Speaker 1: then trading former m v P Matt Ryan to the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Falcons then signing Marcus Mariota to compete for
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback spot next season. The real question is
Speaker 1: will they take a quarterback with the eighth overall pick
Speaker 1: in the draft as the other piece of that QB
Speaker 1: competition the Carolina Panthers picking sixth in the first round,
Speaker 1: and they could be in the quarterback market with Sam
Speaker 1: Donald playing on his fifth year option this coming season.
Speaker 1: They also made a bevy of moves, no bigger than
Speaker 1: that of signing d J. Moore, their stud wide receiver,
Speaker 1: to a three year, sixty one million dollar contract extension.
Speaker 1: Now venturing into the NFC South where obviously the biggest
Speaker 1: transaction that was made was the one that was very
Speaker 1: short lived, and that was the retirement of Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: He is back, and now what does this mean here
Speaker 1: for the rest of the division as they are all
Speaker 1: searching for a long term answer at quarterback. Meanwhile, though
Speaker 1: Steve and then Kevin love to have you jump in here,
Speaker 1: the Bucks are sitting pretty Even though Bruce arians retired
Speaker 1: as the head coach and moved into the front office role.
Speaker 1: Todd Bowle steps in as the new head coach, it
Speaker 1: still feels like continuity there in Tampa. So is this
Speaker 1: the Bucks division to lose? Steve? Yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: is like the most slam duck slam duck affirmative answer
Speaker 1: we can have here in the NFL this year. And
Speaker 1: and it's so funny because before Bruce arians uh retired
Speaker 1: or transitioned, I spoke to him about this. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, come on, I mean, every other quarterback in
Speaker 1: the division, he's like to either all they're all high
Speaker 1: first round picks, you know, jamis Okay. Yeah. It was like, okay, Bruce,
Speaker 1: you're you're you. I don't think you're gonna be selling
Speaker 1: selling the ocean to the folks, you know why right
Speaker 1: now with that one? But I mean, come on, I mean,
Speaker 1: you have Brady, you have continuity, very little change on
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. So yes, this is their division to lose.
Speaker 1: If nothing else, who's gonna stop them? Well a defense,
Speaker 1: I mean the STS have. The Saints are acting like
Speaker 1: a team that thinks they can compete. Whether you believe
Speaker 1: that they can or not, it doesn't matter, because they
Speaker 1: are acting like a team that they're gonna get two
Speaker 1: first round picks. Now if they bring in Tyronne Matthew,
Speaker 1: which they're visiting with them, who knows that they can
Speaker 1: spend the money like they're they're all their actions suggest
Speaker 1: that they believe we can go get the Bucks. I
Speaker 1: don't know what. They beat the Bush they beat no
Speaker 1: matter what it is, they beat the Bucks. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that is. Whether we believe that they can
Speaker 1: or not. They certainly believe that they have the firepower
Speaker 1: to go do it. They're acting like a team that does.
Speaker 1: At least. It's pressed for me to find a team
Speaker 1: that I'll be like, Okay, I mean, yeah, it's the Saints.
Speaker 1: Saints would be the biggest competition in my mind. They'll
Speaker 1: have some continuity at quarterback with if Jameis Winston is
Speaker 1: good to go, and he was, Look, he was playing
Speaker 1: well before he got injured. But who's gonna block Shack Barrett?
Speaker 1: Great question. I think we're all in agreement here that
Speaker 1: the we could just go ahead and uh and put
Speaker 1: it in Penn. Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the champions of
Speaker 1: the NFC South, and if they're not, this clip will
Speaker 1: be replayed forever. Okay, but so, uh, let's get a
Speaker 1: glimpse at what the South now looks like with some
Speaker 1: of the movement that we've seen here, kind of like
Speaker 1: we did in our last segment. Uh, Kevin's gonna take
Speaker 1: the Bucks and the Panthers and assign some grades to them,
Speaker 1: and Steve's got the Saints and the Falcons. So since
Speaker 1: we're keeping with the Bucks conversation here, Kevin, what do
Speaker 1: you make of this offseason and again has been very
Speaker 1: similar to the one we saw last year and bringing
Speaker 1: guys back. I mean you just said everybody's coming back.
Speaker 1: I mean, you lose a couple of eyes on the line,
Speaker 1: only my pet retires. That's not an easy fix. But
Speaker 1: then you go trade for check Mason. The Patriots basically
Speaker 1: given to you. So I mean that that everything we saw,
Speaker 1: the continuity is huge. I don't want to be I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to dance on Bruce arians Grave or anything,
Speaker 1: but to me, Todd Bowles taken over as an upgrade,
Speaker 1: I just think with his I think that that's gonna
Speaker 1: work out well. You're gonna give Brady a little more
Speaker 1: autonomy with um left, which I don't even it doesn't
Speaker 1: even have to be a rift. I just think that
Speaker 1: I think that it's gonna be a smooth, smoother sailing
Speaker 1: where where you know the captain necessarily wasn't there. It's fine.
Speaker 1: So that's where I personally stand. I don't care about
Speaker 1: the rift, but I think it's gonna be an upgrade
Speaker 1: at at that position, and they've done everything they need.
Speaker 1: They keep kept all the guys that god one's not
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Uh grab and Russell Gauge from the Falcons
Speaker 1: was a steel in my opinion, maybe the steel of
Speaker 1: the off season that nobody's talking about. Like he is
Speaker 1: a legit receiver and to be a number three in
Speaker 1: that offense. We saw what they needed when Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: wasn't there and the how they lost a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's gonna slide right in and be awesome, I think
Speaker 1: in that offense. I think Bucks fans need to keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that because he's very very good. Um.
Speaker 1: Outside of some online uh questions going into the draft
Speaker 1: and the defensive line that I'm sure that they'll pluck
Speaker 1: a few veterans, maybe Suit comes back later on in
Speaker 1: the process, there's really not a question um with Carlton
Speaker 1: Davis coming back in the secondary, there's not really huge
Speaker 1: question marks moving forward. I think this was an uh
Speaker 1: A minus roster going in and I think I keep
Speaker 1: him right there right. Not much just not much has
Speaker 1: changed in my opinion. Okay, Steve, if we view the
Speaker 1: Saints is the biggest competition then to the bucks. Let's
Speaker 1: move there in the pecking order in this division. How
Speaker 1: do you view what happened now as we begin to
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen era with Sean Payton out of the picture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, of course that's the biggest change. You're talking
Speaker 1: to Mickey Loomis at the League meetings. He's like this,
Speaker 1: it's going to be completely different because you know, Sean
Speaker 1: had the authoritorian rule. Um, you know, not that he
Speaker 1: ruled it like an authoritorian, but he had all wielding power.
Speaker 1: That's not going to be the case with Dennis Allen.
Speaker 1: Is gonna be more of a shared branches of government,
Speaker 1: so to speak. It's a change. But if James comes
Speaker 1: back healthy. Um, they did themselves safety by you know
Speaker 1: safety by signing signing Andy Dalton case, there's you know
Speaker 1: some leeway there. Um signing Marcus may have safety have
Speaker 1: to losing Marcus Williams. I love that was a great moves. Great,
Speaker 1: it was a great move because Marcus, you know, Marcus
Speaker 1: Williams is going to Baltimore. That's a dude who covers
Speaker 1: a lot of territory because his hands on balls. Marcus
Speaker 1: may and what Dennis Allen does with the type of
Speaker 1: pressure they can get up front, is gonna be good.
Speaker 1: But of course the big questions losing Toront arms and
Speaker 1: left tackle, Um, it was just a great player, a
Speaker 1: great athlete, great pass protector. That's clearly gonna be a
Speaker 1: draft neither there So coming in, I look at the roster,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a B minus type of roster. I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta drop him down a little bit because
Speaker 1: losing Toront Armstead is is mccollan, you got, You've got
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl left tackle and he goes because you
Speaker 1: can't afford and that's a that's a tough blow. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt. And you know, like he's missed some games
Speaker 1: in his career, a couple of games here in the
Speaker 1: last few years, but Andrews Pete has also missed times.
Speaker 1: So like that less side is really kind of tenuous
Speaker 1: in terms of continuity and in terms of durability, uh
Speaker 1: and staying power for a full sixteen games real quick, though,
Speaker 1: I do not want to take away anything from that defense.
Speaker 1: That defense is one of the best in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and we continue to overlook you know, Damorio Davis, you know,
Speaker 1: and all those guys should great players. I just wanted
Speaker 1: a question, are we just assuming Michael Thomas is coming
Speaker 1: back and going to be fully healthy? And because that
Speaker 1: feels like the saint No no he no, no, that
Speaker 1: and that's a Gra's a great point. I mean, Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas is is huge. Yeah, the factor, catching, run guy,
Speaker 1: tough guy, that's huge for whoever's coming in. So it's
Speaker 1: the year. So I just I just wonder if we're
Speaker 1: all always assuming that he's going to be dominant, m
Speaker 1: VP sort of guy. And he missed a whole year
Speaker 1: with a foot injury, which you know he most of
Speaker 1: two years. Like, I feel like we haven't really seen
Speaker 1: him since he set the record against the Panthers. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming he is going to be gangbusters. He's that dude.
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. All right. Let's move
Speaker 1: back then to the Panthers here Kevin Um, who have
Speaker 1: sort of swung and missed in the quarterback market a
Speaker 1: number of times here, at least reportedly Um for Shawn Watson,
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson, for whomever else was available out there.
Speaker 1: And so here they sit now with Sam donald Um
Speaker 1: still on the roster. What do you make of the
Speaker 1: moves that they have made outside of that QB spot.
Speaker 1: I really liked the roster outside of two things, the
Speaker 1: quarterback and the offensive line. Unfortunately, that's massively how often
Speaker 1: teams succeed in the NFL is the quarterback in blocking
Speaker 1: for the quarterback. So that's that's huge. I mean, I
Speaker 1: love the defense. Bringing back Dante Jackson was a big signing.
Speaker 1: I think to solidify that back end. D J Moore
Speaker 1: is is the man. I think he's so underrated. We
Speaker 1: don't talk about him enough, and getting resigning him was huge.
Speaker 1: Um On a extension, I think most of what the
Speaker 1: Panthers have done this season is like mid level ads
Speaker 1: like Mattonia's Littleton, Damian Williams, Xavier Woods on defense, like
Speaker 1: kind of just plugging these middle guys, adding Deonte Foreman
Speaker 1: in the backfield to pair with Christian McCaffrey. Mccathery's health
Speaker 1: as always his huge role. I mean, I just I
Speaker 1: this is a C plus roster to me, and I
Speaker 1: hate to kind of repeat what I did, and it's
Speaker 1: a C plus roster again. And the only reason it's
Speaker 1: that because I don't trust Sam Donald. To me, he's
Speaker 1: not the answer. The Panthers have told us everything they've
Speaker 1: tried to do that. He's not the answer to them either,
Speaker 1: trying to go after Watson, trying to get you know,
Speaker 1: calling about Rogers and all Russell Wilson, all these things.
Speaker 1: For two years, they've tried to not have him be
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and he's still the quarterback. So to me,
Speaker 1: that we'll get into it when we get to their
Speaker 1: draft pick. But it has to be quarterback early to me.
Speaker 1: And if not. Offensive line is a huge issue as well.
Speaker 1: And until they fix those two things, like I like,
Speaker 1: like I said, I love the rest of the roster,
Speaker 1: I just can't get behind it until those two issues
Speaker 1: are Yeah, they weren't. I like Taylor Moulton over there
Speaker 1: on the right side the right time you do on
Speaker 1: the left side, what do you do with the left? Right?
Speaker 1: You spend big money on the right side. Now, how
Speaker 1: do we fix the left side? Certainly part of the
Speaker 1: equation there. Let's move to the Atlanta Falcons. Wanna talk
Speaker 1: about a team in transition? Now? Is they going to
Speaker 1: year two with Terry fontno is the GM, Arthur Smith
Speaker 1: as the head coach, but without Steve White Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: as the face of the franchise. What do you got
Speaker 1: here for the Atlanta Falcons. Yeah, this this isn't good
Speaker 1: because you know, no one's gonna fall them for taking
Speaker 1: a shout out to Saunt Watson, but having trade Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan and it didn't seem like they had a plan
Speaker 1: be in place, right, and it just it just optically
Speaker 1: looks terrible. You know, sign in Casey Hayward at a corner,
Speaker 1: that's nice. It's a nice buffer because a J. Terrell,
Speaker 1: you know, you talked about a player, you know, the
Speaker 1: best cornerbacks in the NFL, Nood he knows his name.
Speaker 1: This guy was one of the best defensive players in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Um So that helps. But they got no
Speaker 1: edge rusher. You know, Grady Jarrett, very good defensive tackle.
Speaker 1: You lose your best player on defense than a J. Drell,
Speaker 1: Foyo Loui khan um. So their defense is weekend. They've signed.
Speaker 1: They did what they had to do because they have
Speaker 1: no money, right, so their piecemealing guys one year deals.
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotte is now your quarterback. He actually fits the system.
Speaker 1: But then we know when him as a starter, he's
Speaker 1: got durability issues. Who's behind him? You know you're good,
Speaker 1: You're good Frank's yeah, all right, okay, so right out
Speaker 1: of the booth, get shocking, come out of the booth.
Speaker 1: So you know you got those issues you resigned, Corderel Patterson.
Speaker 1: That's great. Oh wait, who's catching the ball for you?
Speaker 1: Cordell Patterson again. I mean they're skilled positions. Find your roster.
Speaker 1: In the NFL, it has less threatening skilled positions. You know,
Speaker 1: they got Damian Williams. I like him at running back,
Speaker 1: but they came in with a C minus roster. They
Speaker 1: dropped down to a d um you know, because of
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. Yeah, the guys, this reminds me the
Speaker 1: Raiders back when Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Salence took over
Speaker 1: in two thousand twelve, where they are in salary cap hell.
Speaker 1: They couldn't fix it for two years. They had to
Speaker 1: sign guys on one year deals before they found a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden the hit the Motherlow
Speaker 1: with Clil McK and Amari Cooper and Derek Carr. But
Speaker 1: then again they get rid of Cooper. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen there. But so you know, asking waiting
Speaker 1: until next year is always a dangerous thing for me
Speaker 1: because you just don't know. The guys you like in
Speaker 1: the draft can turn out to have bad seasons. You
Speaker 1: get hurt um. So they better be real effective here.
Speaker 1: I mean they've got they've got t Ammo to do it,
Speaker 1: but they better nail it. It's pin the tail on
Speaker 1: the donkey. When it comes to their draft board. You
Speaker 1: can just put a you can put that tack anywhere
Speaker 1: and you can you can hit it. Well, let's do
Speaker 1: it right there at eight. Since since we're talking about
Speaker 1: it there with the Falcons, they're not the first team
Speaker 1: on the board in the NFC South. We'll get to
Speaker 1: the Panthers here in just a moment at number six,
Speaker 1: but let's just since we're talking Falcons, let's go eight.
Speaker 1: I look, I think wide receiver. You could get the
Speaker 1: first wide receiver off the board at number eight. In
Speaker 1: less you love one of these quarterbacks, Steve White, I
Speaker 1: think I think the Lake Willis is gonna be real
Speaker 1: tempting for them today because of the system they play, right,
Speaker 1: you know, the mobile quarterback system. They know today's football game.
Speaker 1: You've got a guy who can press with the run
Speaker 1: but also have the big arm. But he'll admit it,
Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze, his coach at Liberty will admit it he
Speaker 1: didn't see any type of tough defenses in terms of
Speaker 1: scheme because of the run threat at that level, you
Speaker 1: got a spy on him and everything else was base.
Speaker 1: He was not seeing a lot of blitzes and mixed coverages.
Speaker 1: So this is a developmental year. If they were to
Speaker 1: go that route, I think, you know, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: hard for them. If Cavon Thibodeaux, I one of these
Speaker 1: edge rushers is sitting there at a for them to pass,
Speaker 1: or or you know, one of the top dbs, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be I think getting Casey here. Weary could put
Speaker 1: the DV part until later rounds, but they gotta go
Speaker 1: edge or they gotta go o line here. Kevin the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers city at number six. Matt Rules saying at
Speaker 1: the league meeting of this past week that he expects
Speaker 1: a quarterback to be taken in the top ten should
Speaker 1: be him. Is he going to be the one to take?
Speaker 1: I would think so, I mean I think so. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's where Kenny Pickett jumps in Mali Willis can can
Speaker 1: Matt Rule afford to get take a bye a bye
Speaker 1: year and a developmental year with a guy like Willis.
Speaker 1: But then David Tepper, I think he's kind of the
Speaker 1: wild card and he's he gonna be like that. I'm
Speaker 1: the owner. I want this guy. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: be a dynamic player and you're gonna take him and
Speaker 1: we're gonna you might not be here when he's good,
Speaker 1: but but this is the guy I want. I think
Speaker 1: you have to go QB and I guess if they
Speaker 1: don't believe that answer, then you go out offensive tackle,
Speaker 1: which whoever, whoever is the next up on the board
Speaker 1: at six. But I can't. I just can't get around
Speaker 1: them what they've done at quarterback this offseason and during
Speaker 1: the season, shuffling in and out. Cam Newton say, I'm
Speaker 1: Donald in out, and to believe that they're gonna stick
Speaker 1: with Donald here, I just don't believe it. YEA, let's
Speaker 1: move to the Saints, then, Steve White, as we look
Speaker 1: at the move that they made with the Phil Delfie Eagles,
Speaker 1: giving up a future one and a future two to
Speaker 1: take one of the Eagles UH two picks, that would
Speaker 1: really take two of their picks and then also give
Speaker 1: them their eighteen so that the Saints end up with
Speaker 1: sixteen and nineteen, Eagles end up with fifteen and eighteen.
Speaker 1: It seems like such a weird trade to make at
Speaker 1: this point. That feels like something you maybe would have
Speaker 1: seemed like on Draft night two spots right. So to
Speaker 1: me and we were talking about this on path of
Speaker 1: the draft, Steve, it feels like maybe this is a
Speaker 1: move like the Bills made when they moved up from
Speaker 1: twenty one to twelve and then to seven to take
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the top ten, or like the Eagles
Speaker 1: did when they went from you know what was it,
Speaker 1: thirteen to eight and then two to take Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: Do they love one of these quarterbacks? Again? It's the
Speaker 1: kind of big that's the thing. Yeah, you're not gonna
Speaker 1: need all that. I think you're not gonna need all that, right,
Speaker 1: you know that if if you love them, you're not
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna can't seem to say you're
Speaker 1: not gonna need all that because somebody make it up there.
Speaker 1: But this clearly, you know, and speaking to some folks,
Speaker 1: this is for flexibility for them to move up or down.
Speaker 1: So maybe you can use one of these picks. You
Speaker 1: know that that ninety pick or whatever something else to
Speaker 1: move up into the top twelve. If you get one
Speaker 1: of these offensive tackles, I cannot see them going quarterback
Speaker 1: right now. This team is in win now mode. You
Speaker 1: look at the age of the players on that defense. Um,
Speaker 1: I think this is this is probably something where they're
Speaker 1: gonna try to upgrade at tackle, maybe at a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: That team as well, Kevin, let's finish it up here
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Bucks and a team that finished
Speaker 1: uh and and now we'll sit as the twenty seventh
Speaker 1: overall pick here in the first round. I think again,
Speaker 1: the roster it's in a pretty good spot. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: to kind of take you know, whoever the best player
Speaker 1: on their board is, as every team says they do anyway,
Speaker 1: But how do you see it? I think you got
Speaker 1: you go defensive line, maybe Ed Rusher, you build on Droy,
Speaker 1: try on Shinink that you brought in last year. At
Speaker 1: the end of the first round, you you know, you
Speaker 1: figure at some point Shack Barrett will have to move on,
Speaker 1: and you know JPP is still a free agent, so
Speaker 1: you were plenished there or you or if if one
Speaker 1: of the guard you like drops and that's a spot
Speaker 1: where you can plug and play or or build for
Speaker 1: the future when you know some guys are gonna move on. Uh,
Speaker 1: they're in a great spot with depths. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can go wrong. I don't think they could go
Speaker 1: I think Jason lights in a great spot where, you know,
Speaker 1: even if somebody wanted to jump back into the first
Speaker 1: round from the low end of the second, I can
Speaker 1: see them being like, Okay, we'll move back and add
Speaker 1: another third rounder dark. I can also see them saying
Speaker 1: kind of to your point, Um, you know this again,
Speaker 1: this is this is a really good roster. Who's you know,
Speaker 1: in good shape really at all the starting twenty two
Speaker 1: offense defense and saying, you know what, maybe down the road,
Speaker 1: you know, Shack Barrett will move on, and you know,
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going to happen, you know, outside
Speaker 1: of tri and showing ago. What if we go David
Speaker 1: a Jabo here from Michigan, knowing that we may not
Speaker 1: need him right away, and you know, we give him
Speaker 1: some time to rehab that rupture to kill his tendon,
Speaker 1: and then you know he comes back year two and man,
Speaker 1: we've got either three really good edge rushers here, um
Speaker 1: or you know, we've got one we could slide into
Speaker 1: a starting lineup. I mean, Titans did that with Simmons
Speaker 1: and they they Yeah, so I think that's a great point. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I certainly wanted to look at there with the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and that is a look at the
Speaker 1: NFC South and and really taking care of both the
Speaker 1: half of the NFC here, NFC North and South though
Speaker 1: in the books. In our first episode here if our
